[Q] Help please - rooting Android 4.1.2

Just picked up my Note 2 today - Sam's Club is selling this weekend for $198.99 and the $36 new phone charge is refunded. Sealed the deal for me.
Anyway, all of the great resources I found with regard to rooting are for Android 4.1.1, Build JRxxx. My phone is Android 4.1.2, build JZ054K. Could you please point me to the appropriate resources for rooting this device?
Thank you.

I use QBKing77's method. Got my phone a couple weeks ago. Came with 4.1.1. Did the OTA to 4.1.2 then rooted. Also sent donation to the creator of the Galaxy Note II toolbox. Works great. Try that, bud.

As a senior member, and a basic Internet user, I know how to use Google. The op isn't even on sprint. The one who complained that I didn't Google it for him says they have tmobile on their profile.

HTSRyan,
Thanks for the helpful reply. Just to be clear (since I was not in my original post): Your Samsung Note 2 is on the Sprint network and its build is more-or-less the same as mine, i.e., JZ054K?
p.s. It is my intent to send a donation once I am rooted...

Please help
First of all please accept my apologies if I am posting in the incorrect site location - this isn't the most user friendly site I've ever come across, but it is definately helpful to to get help from you friendly and helpful people!
I've just purchased a Galaxy Note 2 (N7105 Vodafone Australia). I've managed to unlock, root and install TWRP perfectly.
My problem is that I've tried three different custom roms in the last few days and none of them seem to work properly with the s pen. The three roms I've tried are Cyanogen, Android Revolution and Omega (in that order). All three of these roms seem great, until I take out the s pen....
The only one of these three roms that will even recognise when the pen touches the screen is Cyanogen (which is the only of the three roms that don't come with the samsung s pen apps). Both Android Revolution and Omega came with the s pen apps pre-installed, but don't seem to work with the s pen at all?? Am I doing something wrong? Are there s pen drivers or something that I need to install? Omega is currently installed and it does vibrate and make a noise when I remove the pen from the dock, but does nothing when the pen touches the screen.
Another thing to note before anyone tries installing these roms on this device is that, after installing Android Revolution or Omega, the phone has no reception and says sim isn't installed. I managed to correct this by installing the modem driver on top of the rom - this took me a day or two to figure out it was the issue and how to fix!
I know its a pretty new phone and therefore there aren't many tried and tested roms, but the three I've tried are pretty common so I was expecting more information about them online than what I've found. I'm by no means an XDA Developer, but have rooted and flashed a few phones and roms in my time. Any assistance or advice in relation to getting the s pen to function on Omega v13 with my N7105 would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

[Q] 4.3 TouchWiz New Features?

Hey XDA!
My replacement S3 is coming in tomorrow, probably gonna come with the 4.3 update...with KNOX...
So i have two questions:
1. What's new in the 4.3 TouchWiz compared with 4.1, etc?
2. If it does indeed come with the 4.3 update with KNOX, what does that mean for me and flashing CyanogenMod and other custom ROMs?
Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!

It may not come with 4.3 . My friend received his refurbished S3 yesterday. It came with 4.1.2 . So there is some chance it may not.

Alright, hopefully that is the case. UPS delivers in about 2 hours to my area usually so i have 2 hours to return my old one to stock and get it packaged

[Q] ROMs for Straight Talk SCH-S960L on Sprint Towers

Hello everyone,
First off, I want to apologize if this question has already been asked and answered. I've found a lot of conflicting information and I just wanted to get everything straight. I have the SCH-S960L Galaxy S3 that I purchased thru Straight Talk and this phone runs off of Sprint towers. Of course as everyone already knows, Straight Talk does not update the firmware on their branded phones and my phone is stuck running 4.1.2 - something I wish I would have known about before buying it for over $400. Anyway, I have read that the SCH-S960L is a variant of the SCH-L710 Sprint GS3. What I would like to know is if any custom ROMs on XDA will work on the SCH-S960L? If I can update my firmware to a solid ROM, I wouldn't mind keeping the phone for another year or so... but there are just too many things 4.1.2 won't allow me to do such as link certain bluetooth devices.
If anyone knows of any custom ROMs that would work, could you please reply and list their names and/or links to them? If you know of more than 1 custom ROM that will work, what one would you recommend? This is my daily phone, so everything has to work on it.
I really appreciate everyone's input. Thanks in advance.

There are several roms that work I have the exact same phone some roms I've tried are
-Cyanogen mod
-AICP
-OctOS (recommended)
I'm having trouble with the data right now I'm trying to find out how to fix it if I find out I'll let you know

Jelly Bean slowed down my phone

Hi guys! I'm pretty new and it's awesome to be here.
My problem might be hidden and described in other threads, although I couldn't find any legitimate answers to my question. Maybe you could help out?
A few days ago I installed JB on my lovely oldie Samsung Galaxy Ace II through Odin, after KIES had not worked. The device slowed down its performance tremendously. I have already talked to some techie from Samsung team in my country (Denmark) and he mentioned that my device is not able to handle JB. Then I went on to search for some advise in other places but without success.
Do you know how to fix it without having to buy a new phone?
Thanks for help in advance!
Peace&love

this may not be expert advise, but yeah JB is laggy compared to KK. my phone came back from the dead just now. check out the ace ii dev subforum and pick a custom rom. even MM doesnt lag as much as stock JB

thanks mate!

[Q] Can Port Note 2 Custom ROMs to Note 8.0(GT-N5100)?

Hi guys! I posted this question as I can't find anything with the same exact context nor anyone answering them, but I just wanted to ask if we can port Custom ROMs made for Note 2(Intl' Exynos Version) to our GT-N5100? Also, if someone already tried it, please let me know what happened.
I just so happened to recall that Note 8.0 has sorta have the same internals as the Note 2 so I've figured there might be a way.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
