My dad got the note2 about 5 or 6 months ago,I rooted his phone and that's it, just rooted. But now he's in an area that has LTE and its not active obviously , he doesn't want to lose anything so I was hoping
I could unroot his phone
Download the ota update that activates LTE
Then reroot
Possible??
Thanks

Use triangle away. Then your supersu app should have a full unroot option under settings. First thing though is if you removed any system apps you need to put them back.

Just flash the stock image with odin, that should take care of it

Thanks, I tried that triangle away thing, but no go, says software was modified error when I try to update after checking temp, unroot with supersu
In anycase, I will try that image thing with odin, but I really didn't want my dad to lose his data, and it looks like that will do a full wipe/??

From that same thread linked above... (newest MD1) Flash either odexed or deodexed, then flash kernel, then modem and the data will be preserved. You will need to have either TWRP or CWM recovery installed to flash. If you don't have a recovery already, I recommend TWRP. You can get it by downloading goomanager from play store.

How did triangle away not work? By the way the easiest method would be to just flash the update itself

Totally do this via odin. Stock rooted and current radio. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33738396
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I could have sworn that I simply flashed the latest stock radio, which itself enabled my Note II to use LTE.
Ok, so I got my note 3 Monday afternoon and had it rooted shortly thereafter. I used the cf-auto root method cause custom recoveries were still kinda iffy. I installed xposed and various modules until one of them ended up bootlooping me. No problem right, just flash the xposed disabler thingy. I do that and somehow it breaks root. So I re-root. Knox steps in with the app shutdown message. I try again, same thing. Long story short I've tried every root method available, cwm, twerp, cf-auto. My knox counter is tripped and it says I'm modified. Supersu runs but knox pretty much disables it before it can start. It's like I'm only partially rooted. Can't get knox to leave me alone. Trying to make root work again without odining back to stock. Any suggestions?

Flash the stock rooted ROM with Knox removed...or if you can get titanium backup to work uninstall the knox.apk I think there are 4 of them
In terminal
Su
Pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
Thanks guys for all your help. I ended up Odining back to stock then re-rooting with cf-auto. Fixed everything and I didn't even have to reinstall all my apps again! Took 15 minutes to fix something I've been working at for the last 15 hours! *facepalm* Smh... Anyways I appreciate y'all.

In an attempt to unroot and return to stock for 4.4 OTA I flashed stock firmware and unrooted my device in the process, so far so good.
I reboot my phone after to initiate the OTA but of course I can't download the OTA because my device status is still custom and without root I can't triangle away or do anything.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get root back onto my phone from my phone since I don't have access to a computer where I'm at. I'm basically just screwed and also stuck on MDL baseband with a MK2 build running 4.3 stock so I'm getting no downloads at all. XDA the app itself too 10min to download
Any insight would be greatly appreciated...I knew I should have just waited until I I had access to a pc but I jumped the gun of course. I've been looking around a lot and the only methods of rooting I've found require or use a pc.

A stock firmware package makes the phone all stock. MDL baseband on an MK2 build means you didn't flash a stock firmware. Which 'stock' firmware did you flash?
As to root, did this 'stock' firmware also flash recovery? if it didn't you can download the recovery flashable supersu zip from chainfire's website into the phone and do it that way. Otherwise, I don't think there is a way to get root access from the OS itself, unless you find an exploit that grants su access so you can make system writable and push supersu.

I'm can't remember where I got this firmware from but, it was from a thread within the general section which stated it was stock so I'm just unsure on that part. I will try to root using your information given. This did return to stock recovery as well but when I try to flash anything through it I get a signature verification failure. I've never had this happen where baseband and build didn't match after returning to a stock firmware. My guess is that I just used something I shouldn't have. Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, rooting or installing custom recovery needs to be done through a computer. As of this moment, there are no root exploits that can be done via the phone itself. I'm sorry.

That's because you need a custom recovery, it's why I asked whether the firmware you flashed replaced recovery or not.
As vigz said, you need a computer to at least flash cf root with odin.

Okay I've pretty much come to that conclusion after continuously searching with no solid method. I'll just have to deal with the baseband problem for now until I get back home. Wifi toggle doesn't work at all either. Is that a baseband problem, correct?

I am having a strange issue on my T-Mobile Note 2... I keep losing my root access, even on different custom ROMs.
I don't post often because I can generally find what I need with a search but this one has me stumped. Could this be due to the 4.3/knox bootloader? Hopefully someone here can help. Here are all the details I can think of:
I have TWRP and generally flash my ROMs in recovery instead of Odin. The ROMs flash successfully and all other components work when I flash a ROM. Also, this has happened across at least 2 different custom rooted ROMs (Jedi x20 & Jedi Master x2).
I started out with the official 4.3 from T-Mobile before rooting and applying a custom ROM, so I have the 4.3 bootloader and can't get rid of it. I see Dr Ketan has come up with a way to remove the 4.3 bootloader on one of the other Note 2 variants (GT-N7100 & N7105)... but I don't see any way to do this on the T-Mobile version, please correct me if I am wrong.
When I lose root, I first notice with messages from my root apps saying that they can't get root access. I then check super su and it notifies me the su binary is missing and needs to be installed but it can't do it. Sometimes root comes back on its own after a while and other times I have to reflash my ROM once or a several times. I have also noticed the super su app is sometimes completely missing when this happens. I have also tried to reflash just SU through recovery but it doesn't always fix it; and if it does, it sometimes reverts to no root shortly after.
The most recent time this happened was this week... The phone lost root for a few days and stayed that way even after a few reboots. Then I woke up in this morning and saw that a scheduled titanium backup had completed. I tested my root apps and found my root access had been restored over night without any changes made by myself. The last time it happened before that, I lost root and it came back after a single reboot... but the reboot solution is inconsistent and only works every once in a while to restore root. Sometimes, multiple reboots do nothing to change the root status.
I have installed several anti virus apps and ran scans with each but the phone appears to be clean. I searched & read the threads for my ROM & searched the help forum too but haven't seen this same issue. I am open to suggestion on what could be causing this issue. If there is an existing thread, please politely point me in the correct direction & close this one.
Thanks!
EDIT 7/23/2014: Solution/Workaround found. See post 22: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54338165&postcount=22
Ok, it just happened again. This time, my battery was almost dead, so I powered the phone off and waited for it to finish shutting down. Then I pulled the dead battery and replaced it with a charged one. When it powered back on, I no longer had root. I took a screenshot of the su app error.
A couple reboots later and I have root again.

Pretty sure powering off (be sure its unplugged from the charger)
And manually booting into recovery will still work. (Hold Menu + Vol up + Power)

Here is the TWRP thread:

In the thread, there is a download link that points to the Team Win site. You can find the recovery for the T-Mobile Note 2 here:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/123
There are several different methods of flashing recovery, you could try the Odin method, I don't think that requires root or an existing recovery.

Yes, Double0EK is right. This method will load whatever recovery is installed.
When this happened to me, the custom recovery kept getting overwritten with stock recovery.

I may have missed this but did you try root66 v2 for 4.3 ?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Free mobile app
If you are referring to the root injected stock ROMs by mrRobinson, no I have not. I started out with official T-Mobile 4.3, rooted, installed recovery & flashed a custom ROM.
Root sticks for a while and then just disappears like it did yesterday. Then, a little while later I had root again. Really stange issue.
I was thinking of just backing up everything, then wiping everything and starting over from scratch.
After I wipe, I think I will try mrRobinson's 4.3 from Dec, that's the v2 you were referring to, right? I'll flash in Odin and then try to reinstall my current ROM and see what happens. Hopefully it will be more stable.

Yes, I was referring to MrRobinsons 4.3 v2 ROM. What custom ROM do you plan to flash ?
I am currently using Jedi Master X2 and it has been stable, so I'll probably stick with that unless there is something new that looks interesting. I don't mind trying out some other ROMs if you have any suggestions.

What recovery are you using, and how did you install it, TWRP bricked mine.
C auto root is flashed with odin in download mode. While rooting, it installs a custom recovery.
maybe it's kitkat, but it didn't install one for me. When I went into recovery, it was the normal factory recovery, which allowed nothing. I tried with Rom Manager, but nothing.
CF worked
I had to manually install the latest Supersu apk then update the binaries to get it working afterword, but I'm finally rooted
Now to get tether working

Download a recovery like philz and flash it in odin while the phone is in download mode
Let me ask you this:
1. root with odin.
2. install CWM with odin?
3. Not I have 4.4.2 stock rom with root.
4. Can I install a custom rom with 4.4.2. stock rom still on the phone?

Yes, if 1 - 3 is accomplished, you are ready for experiments in custom roms. You use the recovery to flash.
But make sure you have the latest recovery, and that you check the rom instructions a few times before you do anything.
Ok....cwm from Rom manager, or twrp through odin? I don't mean to break chops, I've rooted a captivate and played with it for a year, when my wtty was over with this phone, I rooted it, and had JediX 19 on it. I went back to stock, and then 4.4.2 When samsung stock 4.4.2 was installed, for some reason, it keeps bricking on me.
Ok, I rooted, and installed twrp from odin,.... passed. When I go into recovery, it's not there.
Ok. Hopefully someone has an answer. I rooted with CF auto root, Odin....fine. Installed CWM, fine. Downloaded SuperSU.....unfortunately superuser stopped working everytime I press on it. I cannot uninstall it, because it DOES NOT show up in application manager. I installed root checker, and says phone is not rooted. I can get into clockwork MOD, but no zip files show up. Can I use Odin to re flash CF auto root?, or just quit, I would hate to brick this again.
Sounds like Knox is blocking you. After rooting, install the latest Supersu apk (2.02) and install manually. Then when you open it, it should ask to update binaries. Let it, then it should ask about dialing Knox. Click yes. Viola, you're fully rooted. After the above is done, you can play with ROMs n such.
Up till that point, there is no need to flash anything, as auto root is designed to do the work for you from a pure stock rom.
