Here’s how to root your Galaxy Note 2. (If you ended up on this page to root your Galaxy Note 3, see How To Root Galaxy Note 3 instead.)
Verified to work on the following Galaxy Note 2:
- International Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100
- International Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105
- T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 SGH-T889
- AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-I317
- Canadian Galaxy Note 2 with model number starting with SGH-I317 or SGH-T889 such as SGH-I317M or SGH-T889V
This root method works regardless of your OS version, so it will work on Android 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.2, 4.4.4
Note: For 4.3, 4.4.2, 4.4.4 please also flash latest version of SuperSU (see FAQ at bottom of this post) if having trouble!
For Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900, please see How to Root Sprint Galaxy Note 2 instead!
For Verizon Galaxy Note 2 SCH-I605, please see How to Root Verizon Galaxy Note 2 instead!
This root method is for Windows computer, I will post another root method for Mac and Linux real soon.
To root using this method, you will need a Windows computer.
For Linux/Ubuntu, please see How to Root Galaxy Note 2 on Linux/Ubuntu!
For Mac OSX, please see How to Root Galaxy Note 2 on Mac/OSX!
Step 1. Put your Galaxy Note 2 into Download mode by turning off your phone first then holding down Volume Down, Center Home, and Power buttons together.
Step 2. Once you see the warning screen, hit Volume Up button to enter ODIN Download Mode then connect a micro-USB cable from your Note 2 to your computer.
Step 3. If you don’t have Samsung USB drivers installed, go ahead and download it below and run it to install.
Step 4. Next, download GalaxyNote2Root.zip
Download GalaxyNote2Root.zip
Step 5. Unzip the files. Next, open up the ODIN program by double-clicking on the .exe file.
Step 6. You should see a yellow-highlighted COM box with a random number. If you don’t see it, double-check your Windows drivers (the Samsung USB drivers you installed in Step 3) and unplug, plug your Note 2 back into your computer.
Step 7. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE and click on “PDA” button then find the file cwm6-root-note2.tar.
Step 8. Hit Start and let ODIN flash the custom CWM Recovery. When it’s done, your Galaxy Note 2 will reboot and you should have a fully rooted Galaxy Note 2.
Your phone will boot into newly installed CWM Recovery automatically once and install Superuser app and su binaries then reboot.
You should find a new Superuser app called “SuperSU”.
You can easily verify you have root by downloading Titanium Backup app (free on Play Store) and running it. You should get a nice Superuser permission pop-up window like below:

Q&A
Q: Does this root method increase binary count?
A: Yes but you should be able to reset it using Triangle Away app (soon).
Q: During ODIN flashing, it failed and now I see “Kies Firmware Error Encountered” on the screen! HELP!!!
A: No worries, you can run ODIN again in that mode. Also, try another USB port. Usually, that will fix those ODIN flashing errors. And if you have Samsung Kies installed, make sure it’s not running at the same time as it can interfere with the ODIN flashing process.
Q: After rooting, my USB connection/screen mirroring/etc doesn’t work!
A: It’s something else wrong with your phone, rooting does NOT AFFECT the performance/features on your phone other than give you ROOT. It probably didn’t work before rooting if anything, that may be a defective phone/part.
Q: Does this method work on ALL Galaxy Note 2?
A: So long as your model number begins with GT-N7010, it will work yes.
Q: I am having trouble with SuperSU on Android 4.2.2 or Android 4.4.2!
A: Download the latest version of SuperSU here then install using CWM recovery to fix!
Don’t know how to install zip file using CWM recovery? Try Step 8 thru 14 here.
Q: How can I thank you for your tutorial?
A: I don’t take donations but if you could PLEASE subscribe to my Zedomax YouTube channel, that would help me greatly and thank you!

Exactly thx fixed! Excitttttted.
PLEASE HELP FAST…
I began ZedoMax’s tutorial to root the N7100 Note 2 in my openSuSE, not Ubuntu. It’s my first “root”.
I pressed the 3 buttons at the same time.
My SuSE’s package manager is broken; I have no way to download DEB’s (I have Kubuntu in another partition & forgot I was using my half-broken version of SuSE, not my Kubuntu).
SO………. the phone now says “Odin Mode, Product=N7100, Custom Binary Download=Samsung Official, Sys Status: official….. DOWNLOADING, DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET”.
Can I just press all 3 buttons again (or is there some other way to leave this dangerous mode), WITHOUT installing Heimdall.deb or doing all of the steps that follow the Heimdall.deb installation…etc? BiiiiiiiiiG Big Big “TIA”. 🙂
If you hit “reply,” I have “notify me of followup comments via email” set. Thanks.
/// P.S. for future, to help noobs like me, it could help if the tutorial says to install the Heimdall.deb, THEN enter rooting mode. 🙂 Again…thanks Max or anyone else if you can tell me how to back out of this…without installing Heimdall.) ///
(If any other noobs like me get into the same situation, Max’s reply is below.)
Thank you Max! My worst fears are gone now. I was beginning to think that (sort of like how you can _usually_ disconnect a FAT32 sd-card with no damage…unless it’s actively in the middle of a data transfer) ………….but was very very nervous when I got into something I didn’t understand… especially with a $700 phone. 😉
Usually I do the smart thing, which is to read thru a _whole_ tutorial before starting Step #1, but I got this N7100 to take on holiday & am leaving in 36 hours. 🙂 [I was shocked to learn that the new Android has no “SUB mass storage mode” & really need to root it, to access the SD-card from my Linux laptop.]
Thanks for the tutorial itself, and for your fast reply — to quell my worst fears. 🙂
Hello Friend, I need your help too, I’m from Brazil and just upgraded my Galaxy Note N7000 for N7000XXLS2 Room 4.1.1, and I wonder if there is already proceeding to ROOT this room.

You missed it at the Q&A
“A: So long as your model number begins with GT-N7010, it will work yes.”
Should say N7100 there as well, right? 🙂

Hi max thanx for the video I would just like to know is there a way to root with out a pc?
Yes there is….buy Odin Mobile through Google Market. Check XDA developers for futher info!
You can use CWM.zip file yes, but you can’t use Mobile ODIN caz u need root in the first place.
Thanks for this root. Btw, to use mobile odin you need root 😉
@lassieee you are absolutely right, did not read the question properly…..Sorry!!! 🙁
does the method differ for different firmware ,,, my note 2 has benn updated twice and is now on the XXALJ1 version , can i root using the above method ?
Yes you can!
I alreadyy did sseveral reviews with the device, aswell have flashed the most actuall firmware on to my device to enjoy the multitasking feature (since my country didn’t had the update yet) and rooted it again with the same TAR and same method, works superb!
http://www.youtube.com/CALMlimited
http://www.youtube.com/CALMmobile
yes this method works for all versions/updates since it uses CWM.
hey max, will 3g and LTE be supported on N7100 future hacks for tmobile as well?
Not sure, I don’t think so but not totally sure yet.

being in download mode itself isn’t dangerous at all, its once you start downloading. To get out simply hold down power button until your phone resets.

how can i root my note 2 clone
it says n7100 but n9300 🙁 help please
how do i flash stock recovery so i can get OTA updates?
Max, great Job btw with all your hard work. You make things super easy.
done this, have root – but how do you enter CWM? tried up+power and nothing. tried up/power and home – same.
what am i missing?
ok this is weird. rom manager also says i have no recovery and i need to install it – *but* i can reboot into recovery via rom manager? wth!?
Thats fine then. Some GS2 have weird hiccups like that I am not sure why.
i flashed it with the latest cwm off XDA and now i can get into recovery normally. got a custom rom now 🙂
Haiii friends…
Can u help me pls.
I get a same problem here.
After rooted, I have superuser but cannot reboot into recovery.
I cannot flash any custom rom.
Pls…pls…pls… help me
hi there…i just did what the tutorial told me too and got the root and all(installed titanium bckup) . But i cant boot into cwm recovery. how do i go about.
Haiii Max…
It is ok or not,
using rom manager to enter recovery mode
to flashing custom rom.
bcoz i cannot enter CWM?
If I root the phone, does it become unlocked, as it accept any sim?
no. that’s separate. some phones have unlocking app on the market that can do that for you. no idea if it exists for hte note 2 yet. there was one for the galaxy s2 though (which i had before this).
Legend Legend Legend! Max lee!
Hi max. Will this work for Gt N7105 Galaxy note 2 LTE version ?
aren’t they the same phones bar the LTE aspect?
The only diff is that GtN7100 are non LTE version. While 7105 Is LTE version. further more with stock Rom. APPs cant move to SD or external SD with 7105.
has someone tried with N7105?
Hi. For N7105 I already use the files of this website and works 100%. Just now i’m looking the way to install CWM. http://www.zona1.net/t10481-root-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-n7105
Do you think i should get the note 2, i love my original note but with all these new phones coming out like the optimus g that are getting close to 8000 on quadrant, will the note 2 be future proof, thinking about the htc j butterfly when an international version comes out, cant go smaller than 5 inches.
Thanks Max 😀
Note 2 is def. worth it yes. My original Note is still going strong, Note 2 will also last good 2 years.
Hi Max,
Are there chances of my Glaxy Note 2 bricking by using this method?
Nope.
Are there any compatible cifs library modules to get cifs working on a rooted stock ROM Galaxy Note 2 yet ?
If so, can someone point me to them please.
Thanks.
I used this method on the T-mobile T889, and it rooted properly, however I’m unable to use the sim unlock app i had downloaded. How do I go about un-rooting the phone?

i tried to reintsall cwm6 thru odin and its still not booting.i think the theme that i intsalled is the one making it hang.

There’s only one way if you’ve got a bootloop after Wiping & fixing permissions: First flash a stock rom from sammobile, then root it again!
Got the note 2 (GT-N7100) for 7 days nows, rooted after one day. I rooted with CF-root, stock recovery, çant install from SD-card, but had root, restored with TB, all went fine rebooted, Excellent!
Now my bootloop popped up, when I tried to set “Olney” as my font, bammmm bootloop….
Max…I just got Sprint version today… wondering if you’ll be doing some root tutorials on SPH-L900 Galaxy Note 2. Let me know, no rush buddy, thanks. As usual great videos… -Chris Carlo
yup this works for SPH-L900 also!
Hi i hope any one can help. I have a galaxy note 2 but it was given to me as a demo stock so there is no imei or baseband version. So i think samsung jussed messed with firmware on it. Can someone tell me step by step how to root it and do something to make the phone features work.
Hello Asif, I am in the same situation as you, I have a Note 2 demo phone and I was wondering if you had had any luck with yours?
Hi Max, I just rooted my galaxy note 2 using your method but it looks like wifi tether does not work. I am hearing that T mobile has blocked this. Is there any workaround this? Any help would be appreciated. Thank!
i’ve got the same problem … help me please (: !
Hi Max,
I have rooted many phones. I was unable to do step 2. I can’t come up with the warning screen, hit Volume Up button to enter ODIN Download Mode with My T-mobile Note 2. Also read some other issues with T-mobile and this setup..
Are you still belief it is a correct method. Can we get warning screen a different way?
You are incredible — let’s see your response.
Thanks,
Hello everyone,,, My Galaxy Note 2 is on it’s way to my home. I just wanted to know if it’s better to keep the default Jelly bean that comes stock or root to this rom,, aokp_i9100_jb_build-5. Is this the correct rom for Galaxy Note 2? Oh and I am on T-mobile, thanks.
Hi Max,
I have done this method on my S2 before and it worked great. Now that I bought the Note2 I want to do the same. However I have also updated to Windows8 and Odin will not open. Let me know if you will have an update for W8.
Hi Max, does this work with lte version
Hi Max, I rooted my note 2 (tmobile) but I want to unroot. Do I have to wait for the stock firmware to be available for US carrier or can I just choose from the firmware available?
Why do you want to unroot your tmobile galaxy note 2 ? I’m just curious because I’m thinking to root my tmobile GN2.
Please let me know
Thanks!
Can some one please confirm if this up and running smooth for the sprint note 2 SPH-L900.. Thank you mine will be here shortly. Gonna miss HTC animated weather thou
hey, have you figured a way to hack 4G t-mobile with the international version of galaxy note 2? (GT-N7100) ….i hate having only egde speeds
Is that possible?,if I’m reading this right. It’ll be possible to mod my n7100 to recieve a 4g signal?
No. You would have to add different frequencies to the phone, that is physically built into the phone. You cannot change that
How Can I even download the files? Every time I click on the links to download the respected files, it takes me to a new window where there are at least 3 buttons that say download, which I know are ads, but I do not know where to click to start the download.
Thanks for your help!
aFTER rooting I Have a folder on my internal memory in clockworkmod/blobs its full of full of folders are they needed
?
And I Just Made A Back Up and its only 17.2 Mb Wtf?
Supposedly blobs folder delete themselves as you make future back ups as long as the old backups have since been deleted. Was a shock to me to ha takes up some amount of memory but to help keep its usage down I just keep my most recent back up and delete all unused and old roms. You can flash a new rom and from what I’ve read then go ahead an delete the blobs folder and also back up folder but only after deleting all old back ups and basically starting fresh. I hav only read something to this effect so don’t take my word for it have a dig on Google regarding ‘blob folder android’
Oh yeah sorry meant ta say,your back up should be close to 1gb so somethings went there dude
Hi got a REAL problem.
Flash went absolutely fine rebooted fine. went into CWM recovery, did a backup to external SD, system rebooted fine afterwards. Did an ‘ordinary’ backup, system now constantly cycling through reboot (getting as far as the lock screen (NO background showing?????) & then rebooting again & again etc. HELP
I have tried restoring the backup from SD (says MD5 mismatch), then tried restoring from the ordinary backup, makes no difference to the problem. Last, I tried your reflash again (all went well) BUT still no solution (still cycling through reboot after reboot).
Any thoghts? HELP!!!!!
Hi Max, are you going to do rom of the week review video for this site??
Sorted: I un-rooted it with stock ROM, re-rooted & all now seems OK.
VERY strange?????
Hi can I use this method on firmware build XXALJ3?
well I have rooted the phone but still cant move apps so have I done something wrong?
Thanks Bro….!!!!!!!
Can I do a factory reset with compromising anything?
A friend of mine said you could screw up you phone by doing it when you’re already root.
Hi Max. awesomeness!!! I’m getting GN 2 on AT&T, can you verify if it’ll work with this method? ALSO, would I use Titanium Backup to delete tethering manager to get free wifi hotspot similar to GN 1 method? Many thx
hey…i follow all ur instruction and i after i root..i cant go to cwm…i try many times with volume up power and home button…and i keep loop at “Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100”..help me
Had this problem (see above). Finally found out there seems to be a problem with the version of Clockworkmod included in the flash. Go look at the Clockwork mod site. says that there had been a problem with the cache size on recent versions & gives a link to new file that is sorted. I flashed this file & all works well now.
which mean u get another link from the CWM site? and you flash the new file and its work? can u gv me the link also?
You still have to boot into recovery in order to flash the working version. I had same problem but would boot in to recovery eventually. CWM site has all versions so just download correct zip file ,transfer to phone and keep trying to boot into recovery in order to flash it will work eventually
hey..tq for helping me..i found another tutorial and i tried it..it work for me..now i on a custom rom..tq….appreciate it
hey kelvin!i have not yet rooted my device,please can u give me the link of the cwm6 file which has its cache size fixed please please please.
You have to enable debugging mode to get the CWM recovery working properly.
Go to setting, developer options and tick the debbuging option.
You should now be able to boot into CWM recovery.
Without doing that, it will just keep looping back to the samgsung bootload.
Hello, everyone,, I am still kind of new to this stuff. I use to play around with my LG Optimus T P509 installing roms to see which I liked best. Anyway I read that some people that cannot reboot into recovery my try this simple method. Make sure your rooted, and flash clockwork, then when rebooting hold the correct buttons after a few seconds release the power button and recovery will reveal itself. Now I read this so give it a try and if it doesn’t work try a different Clockworkmod. Good luck 🙂
Thank you. You really make my day!
You are a very resourceful person. 😀
Hey max will this work for the canadian SGH T889V?
Yup flawlessly.
Are you positive? I mean did you do any testing?
Im testing at the moment it worked flawless.
Hi Steve:
Are you on the Wind network?
I’m really nervous about even trying this as I’ve heard that Wind uses some special frequencies… I was even told that to unlock this “wind” version, that I’d have to root and add some sort of Frequency emulator to have it work on other networks… not sure if true, but not surprised since our Koodo S2, if unlocked, apparently won’t work properly on Wind.
Works great on my Wind Mobile Note 2 T889V. Looking forward to using my PS3 controller on it.
Hi those of you own a Wind sgh-899v:
Do you guys know how to do a stock recovery (Back to the factory rom) for Winds Note 2s ?
Thanks.
hello max!before rooting my n7100i have to back up mu all installed apps??
hi max
When i hit the volume ,power & home button the warning screen appears but when i hit the volume up nothing happens ……. it doesn’t show the ODIN download mode …….. please help…………………
Hi if I have missed it sorry, but I have the i317m note 2…… I need to root! Any help would be appreciated. I used your Method on my s3. By far the best site for instruction.
Thank you
Adam
if i root in this process the installed apps in my note 2 will be effected???
No your phone will be exactly the same but rooted with addition of super user app installed
After rooting . Can u still do the system update? Nexus I don’t want to get the message : device has been modified. Unable to update device.
can anybody tell me where can i find the cwm6 file which has its cache partition fixed??
pls help me. i rooted my note 2 but after rooting when i connect to pc as media device i cannot copy files to android data folder…… pls help pls pls
kevin!please can you give me the link cwm file which is sorted out and and can be used and i have not yet rooted my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901196 there you go mate think that’s it
Does this link, which on that site states it’s for N7100 also work on Canadian SGH-T889V?
With all this rooting and stuff, is there really any different between the 2?
Or can I assume, if it says N7100, it’ll be fine for SGH-T889V?
My link is maybe not allowed on this site it says under moderation but just Google ‘cwm n7100’ an click on the xda result an that should get you the most recent version which works fine
Hey Zedomax,
How are we suppose to unroot the phone later on if we want to upgrade our stock firmware through Kies?
Can you please show us the way to unroot it?
Thanks a lot and your reply is very much appreciated 🙂
First, make sure you are on stock ROM, restore your stock ROM backup.
Then you can use Triangle away app to reset binary:
https://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-reset-binary-counter-on-rooted-galaxy-note-2-using-triangle-away-app/
(Optional) Then remove root: (not sure if this is required, but may be…)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYz4E9nO2kM
Re-install stock recovery:
https://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-install-stock-recovery-on-galaxy-note-2/
That will make you completely back on stock unrooted ROM.
If you did not make a backup of your stock ROM, you can just unroot with stock firmware:
https://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/
Thanks a lot for the reply bro, really appreciate it… You are a great teacher of mine, almost learn everything bout android from you lol..
Anyway, I have another curiosity here:
What I did yesterday was, I rooted my GT-N7100 with CF-Auto-Root without CWM and then I realised that I need CWM and I flashed CWM Recovery 6.0.1.5 and then I flashed the 4.2 camera as well… But in the process I didnt get the Yellow Triangle exclamation mark and I was surprised, isnt it we suppose to get that after all these flashing?
And if with this condition (without unrooting/flashing back to stock ROM), do you think I am able to update firmware through Kies without any problem? Because when I was a total noob with SGS2 GT-9100, I didnt unroot my SGS2(stock ROM) before using Kies for firmware upgrade but no problem has occured… I am wondering if this will be the same with my Note 2?
and of course lastly, GET HIGHhHhHhHh ON ANDROID! *cheers* xD
so kevin !please can you name the cwm file which you have used for rooting then that would be a great help for me.
6.0.1.5 just Google ‘cwm galaxy n7100’ an click on xda result and use download link you need from latest version posted 14 October
Use method posted by max for rooting this is just the correct cwm version I am advising you on and links are there for Odin method and flash method
Will this work on AT&T galaxy note 2 model SGH-I317? Please advise. Thanks!

Does anyone know how to unroot Note 2 I317?
hey kevin!i have downloaded cwm6-root-n7100-121015 file to root my international note 2 can you please tell me that i can use this file to root my note 2?please!!!
This file does NOT root your phone it is a custom recovery. In order to root your phone use the method max has shown you above and once you have rooted your phone then you can apply this version of cwm so you have a working recovery, hope this helps
Thanks so much just tried it on Rogers Galaxy note 2 and it worked like a charm. Now iam fully rooted cant wait for my sd card to arrive. thanks again.
then kevin please can you tell me,that the cwm6 file u used earlyer caused you a lot of problem and i think that was the cwm file which was uploaded by max then why are you telling me to download that file!!!
Once u have used Max’s method to root simply flash the most recent version of cwm (which you have) via Odin. Make sure you have the Odin .tar and not the zip
so kevin after root,can i use cwm6-root-n7100-121014 to flash via odin???
and thanxxx for all above replies 🙂
cwm6-recovery-n7100-121014.tar after rooting using Max’s method flash that cwm version through Odin
Must be the Odin version and not the flashable zip file
Looking for the stock firmware for my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-I317 .Any idea if you will have that ? Thank you
kevin after rooting from the above process my cache partition will be broken or not??
I used this process and everything is fine. I can only advise you on what I have used, for more technical advise ask max directly or use the forum at xda if you are unsure. I hope this helps
Dear!
The Zip file is not downloading……when it reach at the middle..it stuck….i don’t know what to do………plz help with it….or give me other link.
hey max can i use this cwm file cwm6-root-n7100-121015 to get root(in xda developers it is saying that it is a auto root file).i have not yet rooted my n7100.so please reply mw max!!!
What rom manager do you use to download multi window for tmobile note2? Thanks!
hey max, How can i prevent to loose my imei while flashing…I had a nasty experience with my galaxy s3 and now im just scared about that happening to my note 2…what can i do to prevent this horrible issue????
Any news on how to use wifi tethering on a tmobile Note 2?
I rooted my phone the galaxy note 2 from T-Mobile. First, can you load a video how to unroot the phone in case they push otas. Second, I tried to tether using foxfi, when I turn it on, it turns the T-Mobile hot spot manager and that asks me to upgrade and added tethering to my plan which I don’t want to do. Any app works for free tethering after this root
help!
…in odin, I get a get “pit for mapping” sign, and after 20 mins nothing happens…I end up restarting the phone and abandoning the root process… am I missing anything?
thanks in advance to anyone ho can give me some guidance in this…
The easy to do this http://www.xda-developers.com/android/sprint-galaxy-note-2-gets-all-in-one-toolkit/
I’m stuck on recovery.img, and it says CACHE in the white box. I followed the instructions exactly… I have the T-Mobile version, if that makes a difference.
Was the problem that I forgot to unmount things?
So now I’m completely screwed – soft-brick, and I can’t figure out a way to ODIN back to stock ROM either.
I just get a yellow warning triangle telling me to use Kies and use recovery mode, except I don’t know how to do that either.
…Help! =[
Nevermind on the Stock ROM, I just changed USB ports and fixed it.
Now could somebody advise me on rooting it? ^_^”” Do you think the problem was USB port, too?
hey kelvin! i think cwm6-root-n7100-121015 can also be used for rooting.so,can you please check and reply me sooon please…
and thanx for all of the above answers.
I can only tell you how I have rooted my own phone and like all my phones I use Max’s videos and methods to root so as I have already rooted my note 2 I couldn’t tell you for sure if what you say is the case. I used Max’s method to root,then because booting into recovery was intermittent I flashed the updated cwm through the normal procedure but as you wanted to make sure you could eliminate the possibility of the older cwm not working I advised to flash the updated .tar version through Odin. This is the best advise I can give you as it worked for me so as I said,use Max’s method to root then flash updated cwm .tar through Odin and job is done you will be rooted with custom recovery
how to get cwm 6.0.5
??
Thanks for root Instruction , i have done
but i want to know how to unroot Instruction with Galaxy Note 2 OTA update.
Thanks
@vikasmeenu
hey waz up. i just upgrade to a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. like everything you Dude keep up the Good work., just have one question, do you have a way of unbrick the Tmobile Galaxy note 2 (t889) yet? . thank you for your help.
Hi Max..i already watch your video tutorial how to root samsung galaxy note 2, i want to try, but i’m a lil’ bit scared..will root erase everything? data? installed app? contacts?
many thanks Max.
Watch your tutorial on how to root samsung galaxy note 2, sound great to me. My note 2 is GT-N7105, can it root using your method? Will root erase everythings; like contacts, installed applications & etc?
Best regards,
Benny
Hi, i have a t-mobile note 2 that i wanna root to get super user access. Will this method works for me?
Honestly this was the easiest phone I’ve ever rooted. I see a lot of the same questions being asked, if you guys read like the first 20 posts I bet at least 80% of your questions are already answered there. Take the minute or two to read a little bit.
Hey I read plenty, but as a noob I’m being extra careful.that’s a $700 phone. Don’t wanna brick it. Thnx for the advice though.
hey man. i had rooted my galaxy note 2 with success and then installed wanam lite rom with red pill kernel. then i decided to try the rr pitchblack rom and i get a status 7 error and cannot install any custom rom after that. but can restore back to the stock rom using the cwm backup. what is the prob guys. help me out. m new to this stuff. please
Jonathan ! How did you manage to Odin back to stock while u was soft bricked ??
hey max i had rooted my phone with success and was able to install custom roms with cwm using internal sd. but now i am unable to do so and can only install using external. help me man! please!
Will I lose my lte service if I root my SGH-1317 NOTE 2. And will I lose everything (will it erase everything like it does on iphones) ? Thank you
HEY MAX! you said you would post the same EASY solution for mac-users soon.. Is it gonna come?
Will this work on my at&t note 2
Max I can use this root for the NOTE 2 for Verizon?
After i rooted and then i installed the Saurom custom rom i noticed that i lost the default “kies” app that comes with phone when u get it. There is a “kies air” app but its not the same. is there any way i can the default “kies” app back.
-galaxy note 2(at&t)
Same Question as Fernando above, can I use this same root for Verizon?
Also, once rooted, will I be able to delete all the bloatware on the phone or is their another way to do so? This would be my only reason for rooting the phone.
Thanks for your help!
I got root using your method 🙂 But I am unable to update my software ?? It says “Your Device has been modified. Software updates are not available.” What should i do now ?? any method?? or do i need to unroot my phone ?? How to unroot it ??
Same question as above. Can we use this method for Verizon versions of the phone?
Hi Max or anyone else,
How does one unroot?
Thanks in advance.
Essa
i tryed rootingmy sprint note2 like 5 times and its still not working
I had to try it like 8 times and I even became frustrated to the point of tears, but if you follow Max’s direction under the Q&A, you will get it. You have to hold the recovery buttons for quite a bit but it will definitely load twrp!!!
anyone ever encrypt the phone prior to rooting? how did it work out and if there is any issue encountered? thanks
I got stuck here. It still downloads after 30 minutes. I totally knew this would happen….
Added!!
Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..
File analysis..
SetupConnection..
Same here. Won’t ever get past the SetupConnection part
I have downloaded the root file but the odin is not opening also i cant get the .tar file. It still shows as a winzip file please help
You need to unzip the file in winzip once you extract the file then run odin and it will see the .tar file.
Where do I downloaded the correct Odin and root file?
I have the SGH-i317M model.
Cheers.

I successfuly rooted my At&t gn2. I’m trying to put a new ROM on but when I hold up, home, and power it takes me to Anroid system recovery and not CWM recovery. I have successfuly downloaded ROM manager and Titanium backup so I know its rooted. How can I get the new ROM on if I can’t get into CWM recovery?
go to play store type in clocworkmod, download rom manager (free), open app, click boot into recovery mode. you’re now in cwm.
Hi! I successfully rooted my Samsung Note 2 LTE and I also successfully swaped my phone memory to my SD card memory, but some reason, it will change my phone memory to my sd card memory making me both memory are from sd card ( phone memory just disappeared and making both memory from sd card)and some of my apps will not work properly, is there something I did wrong ? Is there anyway I can correct these changes? Thank you for your attention.
AT&T NOTE 2 USERS!!!!! with samsung’s official 4.1.1 update the phone WILL NOT BOOT INTO CWM no matter how hard you try. ive tried every method to no avail. until its worked around here is the easiest method to run cwm
YOU WILL GET AND CWM. do all the tutorial steps
GET CWM ROM MANAGER from play store for free, in the app boot into recovery mode and do whatever you want. that easy.
Hi,
When i extract all the files then the file of ” cwm6-root-note2.tar” still appears as a WinRAR.
When i extract the file of ” cwm6-root-note2.tar” i get two disc image files.
Should i still proceed and place this file in PDA ” cwm6-root-note2.tar” or not?
I need HELP. I followed the process to root and it went thru perfect, im rooted and everything, the problem is i cant connect to my mobile network for calls or anything like that. After i rooted it i figured it was a glitch or something so i did a factory reset to no prevail. when ever i try to make a call it says something like “mobile network not available”
please help me or gimme a clue???
So I tried using this exact guide for my Tmobile Note 2, and once I get to the odin part to click Start, the process halts at SetupConnection.. and won’t ever progress past that part. Any idea what I should do?

hi

arunava
My SGN2 is not rooted but it has TWRP recovery installed. Will this method work for me? Thanks in advance
Dose this work for galaxy note 2 4G n7150
i tried to root my phone but it wont go pass the warning screen ……even i pressed the volume up button…….please help..
Does rooting void the warranty or make it non-returnable? If so, am I able to revert back to factory settings if I need to?
Will I lose my unlock status if I root my AT&T Galaxy Note II SGH-I317? I called AT&T and got the unlock code from AT&T directly and unlocked my phone. If I root my Note 2, or if I install the different ROMS or reset the counter, or any other way that I might lose the unlocking on my phone? thanks for any info.
rob00@inbox.lv
Thank you Max for this awesome website, I just purchased an unlocked SGH-i317M from eBay.
how can I update my phone other than rooting it, because I don’t wanna void my warranty, so I wanna wait up the year, plus I feel that it is risky to install custom ROMs, looking at all these comments regarding ROMs issues.
I honestly just want to have the 7105 stock ROM, nothing more. do you know of a safer way to get that stock ROM into the 317M?
So I know it have been verified that this method of rooting work with the t-mobile variant of the note 2,
but will this still work after the ota update that was released around December 19th?
It was the update that added the multi window feautre.
I want to use this method to root mine, but I’m not sure if it will work because I did the ota update.
This does not work – I’ve tried it several times and it just hangs at “cache.img”. What could be the problem?
Will I lose any of the apps,screens,roms and functions the galaxy note 2 comes with? Ty..
Also, I am waiting for the Galaxy note 2 to arive any day now,I ordered it through Amazon and go thru Sprint. Will this routing method work on this late model phone. Not sure of model # yet. Its on amazon for 199.00$ ty again..
Srry,just one more question..Can I route the Galaxy note 2 as soon as I get it b4 I call Sprint and activate it ir does it have to be activated first? Once again ty….
how can i re-install clockworkmod recovery on my rooted galaxy note 2 after installing stock recovery?
Awesome! Rooted on first try. Clear and helpful directions and tools. Thank you!
What could be the issue with mine? It just does NOT want to root… Gets to cache.img and then there it stays… The app does not “hang” cause if I go to Windows Task Manager, it still says “Running”…
Please help…
Hi, I’m planning to buy this phone but I’m afraid of the Sudden Death Bug (Siii).
Is the phone prone to such bugs?
Can anyone help me with my previous questions? TY
Can you make a tutorial for Canadian WindMobile Galaxy Note II SGH T889V
I really want to root it so i can use the multi view feature. Need real help!
t889v is compatible with tmobile t889 you can use everything on this site for t889.
what about the candaian one will i need an unlock after the root?
unlocking bootloader is only for verizon for sim unlock its easy to do.
Can I route the galaxy note 2 as soon as I get it or do I need to call Sprint to activate it first?
There is no Mac method for the ATT variant yet, right?
I’m trying to root my T-mobile galaxy note 2 and i followed all the instruction and downloaded the galaxynote2zip file but when i tried to open it, it will not open and it tells me that it is invalid. Is this Zip file no longer good?
could just be bad file download just try downloading it again.
Hello, Max!
Good job!
I used this method to root my international note 2 n7100, its all ok, but i have a question – how to back to full stock form – stock recovery, stock rom (now i have custom rom), without root, etc….
Please help!
Thanks in advance!
see unroot in faq at top you just need to flash stock firmware with odin if you ever need to get it completely back to stock.
Thank u mate! Best wishes!
hey, did you end up finding a way to root the sgh i317m on the Mac? I’m with Bell and I can’t seem to find any options to root with Mac sspecifically for my model

Same here, except on Windows. Running the Bell Mobility SHG-I317M. I thought I saw it somewhere on this site but can’t seem to find any info/help for it.
Will this method work with our variants ?
Nevermind, I saw FAQ #3 and seen my model number is not right. Just wish I could find the page I found a while back LOL
Hey!
I just got my screen changed trough samsung and when i got the screen back, i can only flash the cmw 6.0.1.5 recovery, and nothing above.

Dear Max,
I rooted my galaxy note II GT-N7100 by your method.
Using odin and installing CWM.
Now recently i tried to make a back up rom but i am not able to access CWM as yr method says “up,Center button and power button” . The screen shows the samsung sign and goes blank for a while and boots up in the normal mode. So is their anyway i can reinstall CWM???
Right after you see SS sign, release power button but still keep the other two. You can check the way people did at youtube.

Good stuff bud!! …as always. Just sold my Samsung Galaxy SII as is (Rooted). Now, got that Samsung Galaxy Note II.
Hi I rooted my note 2 with this method but can’t go in recovery mode screen just goes blank
That’s a little tricky. Search ‘How to root…’ at youtube to see how people did it.
Hi Max,
First of all, thanks for your guides and your site, it has been very helpful.
I would like to ask your advice about a problem I am encountering.
I managed to succesfully root my Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 with your provided guide.
Everything worked for a while. Then after a month or so, I suddenly lost network connection (no internet, cannot make phone calls, no sms, etc.). The only connection I get it through WIFI.
I tried putting my micro SIM into a friend’s phone and that worked, which excludes a damanged micro SIM.
Then I decided to unroot my phone (again with your provided guide).
Unrooting was succesful as well and to my surprise, I regained network connections.
A few weeks has passed and all of sudden, today after I rebooted my phone (because for some reason my lower bar menu was gone). After rebooting my device I lost network connection again, same as before, only WIFI.
No I have tried rooting it and unrooting it, but it didn’t help. I have no network connection.
Do you know how I can solve this problem?
Please help, since I don’t want to send my phone for repair (losing for at least several weeks) and I am afraid I mess up using the Triangle Away app to clear the binary count (erasing my root actions).
Thanks in advance!
Never mind this post. I found out it has nothing to do with rooting or unrooting. It was Go Launcher who made my device not recognizing my micro SIM. Once deleted and rebooted, everything worked again.
(^_^)
Rooting this way will block you from samsung from getting update. It will be detected that your phone is rooted. Are there any other way to root my Note2 4.1.2 without being detected?
i have rooted my note 2 and installed busybox, i know flashing stock roms will remove root but the question i want to ask is does it also happen with the busybox ? i’ve tried factory reset but it still remains in the /system folder so i think flashing stocks rom could solve it ??
Hi, i just root on 4.1.1 then i used factory reset then upgrade to 4.1.2 (OTA)
no my root is gone but SuperSU still exist
how to delete application SuperSU ?
hi, I think I jist rooted my note 2 t889 model, it installed supersu app but a root checker app said I dont have root access. what am I missing?

Hello Max,
Can I request Stock Rom for my Galaxy Note II?
here is the detail.
Kernel : 3.031-310959
se.infra@SEP-96 #1
SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 10 21:08:07 KST 2012
Baseband version : N7100DXALJ1
Builld Number : JR003C.N7100XXALJ3
Outstanding!
I hate the AT&T bloatware but the 5 or 6 times I hit the internet for instructions to root, my concerns and fears kept me from proceeding. From a relatively non-tech guy, this instruction was easy and very understandable. Everything took place exactly as described. My first root and I walk away excited that I finally have control of my phone and eager to dump all the proprietary garbage, much the way I pillage a new pre-loaded computer. Max, thank you for making my day!
Hi
Just now I have rooted my GT N7100. Can I upgrade to 4.2.1?? And I cant see super user app in the application screen but found on search.
Please suggest and thanks
Stephen
thank you very much… really helps a lot for noobies like me… =)
Hi, If I want to use this method to root but I want to install TWRP as my custom backup instead of CWM can I use your method and then install TWRP afterward? If not, can I replace the recovery.img file in cwm6-root-note2.rar with the TWRP img file and still have cwm6-root-note2.rar run correctly?
Good question….
OK, I rooted using hte method described in the article and the same files. Then I installed TWRP afterward and it worked fine. I wasn’t daring enough to try and substitue the twrp image inside of the other file though so still no idea if it works that way or now. Anyway, it just takes an extra minute to do it this way.
Can you make a video about rooting a galaxy tab 8.9 i957 for at&t, also how to get 4g on it with t mobile?!

hi I’m a noob to android devices and n7100 is my first android phone.
well actually this might be a silly question but:
i noticed that after i rooted the phone i cant update the phone using OTA Update method.
is there a way keep OTA updating functionality while I’m rooting my device?

just removed the sd card and every thing is fine ! my n7100 updates with ota again 😀

If it doesn’t work is there another method?
As always thanks Max for all your hard work.
Hey Max! Can you do a video tutorial on how to root Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105? Because I don’t see any description on GT-N7105 files for rooting. Thanks!

Hey Max, I’ve rooted a couple of phones before so i figured this one would be simple and it was following your TUT. So, once I rooted my AT&T Note II, I tried flashing Diaphanes ROM to it and once the phone rebooted, it was constant errors of android process stopping. So i unrooted the phone and flashed the stock AT&T 4.1.1 back onto it. Then proceeded to root it once again. it was a success! Now the only problems I am having are : MMS not working, cant get the update to 4.1.2 for multi-window (tells me memory is full) and when in recovery I can’t mount extSD.
Thanks for your help ahead of time!
And my 4G LTE is working (data/internet)
the links on your site arent working to download on any web browser please fix
An up to date (4.1.2) GT-N7100 (jzo54k.n7100xxdma6) here, got it rooted with these instructions but can’t use recovery mode. Screen flickers, just like the CRT times when hsync/vsync were unsupported by monitor, and then goes black. I suspect cwm is running but nothing can be seen.
I’m having the same problem (jz054k.n7100xxdll7)
Same here with my GT-N7100. Please advise.
Flashed TWRP to recovery, that works fine.

hi is this possible to unroot the galaxy note2 to default OS….
and tell me the drawbacks of rooting phone
Yes it’s possible and there are no drawbacks at all. You must just do everything correctly.
I am running MacksRom and rooted per you guidelines for the Sprint variant. I am now being prompted to install an Android System Update. The size of file is 278 MB. Is this safe to install or will it cause me to lose root?
Responding to request follow up notification sorry

Odin doesnt recognize my phone in download mode. It doesnt turn yellow. But its okay with MTP and Kies. Its only not working in download mode. Read everything on the internet for troubleshoot, reinstall samsung usb driver, everything! and still doesnt work. What did I do wrong? Please help :((
*PS: sorry for bad english

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN RETURN TO MY FACTORY BOOTLOADER FOR MY VERIZON NOTE 2
I605`SO I CAN FACTORY SERVICE?
Hey Max since this recovery is way outdated, I’ve tried unzip and rezipping with a file converter back to tar file but it’s not working for some reason. I tried replacing the img file with updated AT&T img file also tried the touch img and it just won’t work. I’m guessing the cache file is different. Is there anyway you can update the tar file for AT&T version touch preferably or create a zip file to flash over outdated one. Thanks!
He Max so I managed to push new .img via terminal emulator, but new version of cwm recovery and cwm recovery touch do not support extSdCard support you’re unable to save to external sdcard only internal sdcard which sucks if you ask me.
Is this still the most updated version to root your Note T988 on the latest update?
I need your help !

I un-rooted, updated T-Mobile Note 2 on OVA and re-rooted to use Wifi-Tether TrevE Mod. I confirm you guys, it works. Rooting works flawlessly. One tip for un-rooting part is, make sure you download original stock rom that you feel comfortable to work with. Again, I confirm this method works on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 on T-Mobile.

Hey Max, thanks for the help. I have a problem. I did everything you said and everything went the way it was suppose to but when I open titanium back up it just says “sorry I could not acquire root privileges. This application will not work. Please ensure that your Rom is rooted. Does my phone have to be unlocked from my phone carrier also? Thanks.
in advance thanks for this great website
I’ve rooted my note 2 successfully and it has android 4.1.2 but I can’t restart it in CWM recovery mode and enable multi window for all programs..:(
would you help me?
sincerely yours
does it whip my memory?
Where the hell is cwm6-root-note2.tar????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im having tthe same problem as mostafa. i cant find cwm6-root-note2.tar . rather, cwm6-root-note2 (a winzip file) is there in place of cwm6-root-note2.tar. help please
Great tutorial…. worked seamlessly on the i317. Do you have one for the Tablet 10.1 i497 too???
Thanks!
I have successfully rooted my GT-N7100 using the above tutorial.
So far, I have not made a backup because my backup card has not arrived.It should be here next day or two.
Is there anything I need to know about putting in the card? It is a 64 gig card.
Do I just insert the card and then do a back up to it the way you described above?
Thanks in advance for your help. This method rocks.
Will rooting my note delete all my apps and settings?
No, it will not delete anything. I had the same concern.
After rooting, all was exactly as before.
For all those who are having a flickering screen problem when booting into CWM. I have got a solution.
1.Flash CF-Root using Odin. (After this step, when you try to boot in to recovery you should get into stock recovery).
2.Install ROM Manager from GooglePlay.
3.Install CWM recovery from ROM Manager.
4.Boot in recovery to verify.
Make sure you download the correct CF-Root meant for your model. Hope its useful for someone.
Regards.
Ok i got my galaxy note 2 from a friend. the phone was under contract now its locked because they turned off the service. I have tmobile service now and i just want to switch phones. How can i get this phone to work?
Master Max,
Rooted i317M, flashed Omega v15, Phone now doesn’t recognize SIM, restored backup of original Factory rom w/ cwm, SIM still not recognized.
Should I factory reset?
Should I flash stock rom?
Should I unroot?
Thanks in advance
Master Max.
I followed your tutorial for Unroot/Unbrick. Worked flawlessly. Now that I know what happens when you flash roms for wrong models won’t be doing that again. Do you know of any i317M roms that are available?
Thanks man.It is fast and safe rooting.
Rooted my phone per the tutorial.
Just bought this memory card. SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1.
It is designed to be used in ex-fat mode.
Will this work with CWM?
Anything I need to be aware of when using this card?
Thanks
Max – Can I get a response?
Really appreciate it.
hey so i rooted some phones before and a buddy of mines wants me to root his note 2 but hes afraid of lossing all his internal memory stuff (pics, songs, videos) does this root affect that?
i followed every step but when i pressed start it rebooted without going to the recovery processs and now my signal is not working
Thanks Max still the most helpful and succinct “how too” instructions published.l
Thanks… Took me less then 5mins to unroot my GT-N7105!
Thanks a million 🙂
Can we do unroot if we need it?
Dude please consider using a site other than downloadandroidrom.com. That site is garbage. I have like a 5% success rate getting files from there. It’s awful. Otherwise thanks for the good work and awesome info!
can you port the latest cwm recovery build?
Was to fast. I think was 5 seconds to root the phone.
I have a SSD Kingston HyperX 3K on my computer. Maybe that ?
Thank you for your help to root the Note 2.
Thx.
Heya. i have successfully rooted my GT-N7100 . Cheers
but i`m having a problem when trying to call .. it says Not registered on network… any ideas ?
Thanx
An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that
you need to write more on this subject matter, it may not be a taboo subject but
usually folks don’t talk about these subjects. To the next! Many thanks!!
For everyone who is wondering if you can perform this root procedure while you have full disk encryption turned on: you can! I have a SGH-T889 Note 2, that had full disk encryption and an encrypted SD card and ran this tutorial. The phone rooted just fine (you’re just affecting the boot partition of the phone and not the actual data partition). HOWEVER! There are a lot of comments out there that indicate you may want to unencrypt your phone if you ever want to UNROOT to get OTA updates, or you will probably have problems.
My note is now saying
Encryption failed
unable to complete encryption due to iterruption…bla bla bla but i never interuppted the process any ideas what to do everytime i reboot goes to the same screen
i have a t-mobile galaxy note 2
heloo all i tried this root metod but when the phone should reboot in to recovery the screen make sam gparhics glithc at the gt n7100 logo and then black for a few sec then it’s boot normal i have root and super su but no recovery when i trie to enter recovery it’s showing the gt n 7100 logo then the logo shows in two places at same time then nothing the screen goes black
what should i do ? soryy for bad english and please answer me pls
Have a nice day
ps: i tried the root metod 2 times same result
If you have GT-N7100 and having static screen probs, flash this recovery instead:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/CWM/cwm-recovery-chenglu.tar
flash this in the same way of the root method ?????? yes no please answer
Hi Max,
I have the international version of Note 2 and rooted it exactly according to your steps. But now my phone won’t stay on for more than 15 seconds!
Please help!!
i cannot find the tar file in the download please help!!!!
I figured out that the privacy app ‘LBE Privacy Guard’ which I had given root priviliges to was the reason my phone was switching off.. I uninstalled it and my phone is okay 🙂
@Jeff: Just select the zip file while browsing in PDA, and it detects the tar. You must already have figured this out by now 🙂
Stupid question I used this root method on my galaxy note 2 but how do I get cwm or the twrp on my phone or did it install when I rooted it with this method im wanting to install the s4 translator all I did was root with this method did install anything or modify please help thanks

hi i did everything you said i get a notification that says pass but then my phone just restarts and its not rooted what can i do?
K let me just start off by saying I probably the dumbest android user in the world and undeserving of my Note 2 but I have a very big problem and wanted to know if anyone here could help me.
Last week I wanted to unroot my note 2 and go back to being unrooted so thats exactly what I did. I also wanted to restore my phone in complete factory, like i got it with nothing on it and for some reason factory reset was not doing that so I formatted my data using TWRP. Here is the dumb part, I didn’t back up to external SD card before format so all information was lost including os. I have been trying to flash the stock rom for a couple hours now an realized I am no longer rooted and cannot do anything besides look at my TWRP screen or Samsung Logo( boot loop). I was wondering that if i could get a back up of someone else’s stock ROM and just recover that instead would it work. I have tried everything else plugging it into a computer and trying to use odin but my phone isn’t registered in odin and therefore can’t re-root. I have tried installing stock rom using TWRP through the micro SD card( no luck) and this is my last try. I so want for this phone to stay alive. BTW I am using Mobilicity Note 2 SGH-T889V.
If anyone can help please send me a personal email at akonrools@hotmail.com.
Any help is appreciated.
Can i root my Note2 version 4.1.2 with the lastest Baseband version N7100ZCDMB3 china version?
hi i would like to know if this methord is ok on uk note 2 vodafone and i have a password set on the phone so it is encrpyted. can i still root or not cheers rob
Can I Unroot my Note 2 again????
Hi,
I rooted my GT-N7100 using this method but somewhere along the way the EFS corrupted and now I have no IMEI!
I’ve been searching for a solution for 3 days now but not found one that actually works on the GT-N7100. As it was not rooted, I did not have a chance to take an EFS Backup before hand and it looks like somewhere along the line it killed it 🙁
Any ideas how I can get my IMEI back, short of resetting the flash count, flashing back to stock and taking it to my local CPW store to play dumb?
Cheers.
i rooted my International Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105 and when i try boot into recovery mode it displays the smasung logo then the logo flashes all over the screen,
I am having the same problem. Cannot get to the recovery mode.
I have a backup on my external SD card, but I cannot get Titanium to back up from it either…..
Can someone please help?
Try the buttons again to get into recovery if you use the correct buttons it should work.
Holding: (Vol+) + Middle button + Power
Hold until White “Samsung Galaxy GT-N7105” appears, then it all flickers, the writing gets bigger and on two sides, then it all gets black and nothing happens.
It stays off. I can then re-power the phone.
I managed to re-install Apps with Titanium, but it was a very slow process as it asked for verification for each app (290).
However, I now do not have my original settings (walpaper etc) I will have to re-set it all
try install this cwm using odin should fix the flickering issue.
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/CWM/cwm-recovery-chenglu.tar
Thank you Max for your replies.
Meanwhile, I fixed the problem this way:
1- Downloaded latest Rom Manager
2- Allowed Rom Manager to install latest Flash Clockwork Mod
3- Run FCWM and rebooted.
Now Holding Vol+, Centre and Power gives me full backup recovery options.
sa ne sert a rien de root son samsug puisque moi je vais sur apk mania pour les jeux et app est c’est gratuit meme les jeux payant sur playstore c’est gratuit sur apk mania est pas besoin de root pour que les jeux sur apk mania fonctionne
Is there any without computor rooting method to root gt n7100 note 2
awesomeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a NOOB. I rooted using this method. Triangle away didn’t work. Also, my phone showed as a using a modified rom not allowing me to update. Even after flashing stock firmware and doing a clear cache/ total wipe, I still have a binary count. Noobs beware, this is not an easily reversed, non detectable process. Just saying.

Hi there i watched your video and downloaded files to root my note 2.
All went well but when i tried to go into the cmw6 my screen just flickers a few times
and then reboots as normal.
i am trying to install the samsung drivers and then do the process again but i am using windows 8
and i am struggling to install them.
any suggestions
i have a N7100
Thanx
Try flashing this using ODIN, it’s one of the beta CWM but I’ve had that problem also with flickering screen, this will fix it. http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/CWM/cwm-recovery-chenglu.tar
I just followed the instructions with Windows everything was great but after the reboot it sits on the screen that says SAMSUNG any suggestions?
What did you exactly do? Normally nothing on this page will end you up in a bootloop so I am not sure what you did.
Dear Max your site is wonderful. I have successfully rooted my GT-N7100 and have tried verious ROM’s. but for last few days I’m facing problem that my Note 2’s touchscreen suddenly freezes and I’m unable to do anything on touchscreen. although I can operate home butten but for 4 to 5 minutes my screen freezes . otherwise i have to restart the phone by removing batterry or by pressing power butten continuesly.
Please help
First time I’ve heard it, seems like a faulty digitizer than anything else, have you tried loading stock firmware and not install any apps?
I have the same issue. I returned it to the stock ATT firmware and it still is laggy and non-responsive.
Dear Max I tried using Hawkish premium but after installing the camera app doesnt work and when trying Aliance ROM i could not get mobile signal as whenever tried making calles message was coming that not register on network.
Right now I’m using OMEGA ROM which is running flawless with persious Kernel. please help me with Hawkish Premium ROM & Alliance ROM
look man i just tried rooting my SECOND gn2 using this same website and i followed these instructions perfectly, ive done it before with my og gn and it worked, but now ive ran into the same problem i did with my other gn2 and thats that when i press start eveything goes normal but my phone reboots and i have NO WAY OF GETTING SIGNAL. i commented last time expecting you to help me out but you either didnt give the time and effort to scroll through the comments and help your fans or you saw and had no solution, if thats the case please just let me know instead of having me worry sick waiting for you to reply.
Rooting does not cause signal loss by itself, not sure what you did but are you sure all you did was root?
Hi
i rooted my phone using this article
it is rooted alright (the superuser icon is in my apps)
the problem is :
i cant load recovery mode anymore though i cant use custom roms
when i press volume up + home + power , the samsung logo appears then the display acts like old TV’s : starts to flash and the logo scrambles and then nothing … the phone shuts down.
please help
i tried cf-root but i cant seem to find the true file for my phone and i had to root flash again using your method to be able to use my phone again.
update
i used “CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar.md5” and Odin v3.07 and i am now able to enter recovery mode (Vol up + home + power)
BUT
for some reason which a noob like me dont know : the CWM is not installed and i dont know what to do
usually i installs with cf root things
please help
As Chainfire explained in xda, CF-Auto-Root does not install any custom recovery. You can install Rom Manager app from Play Store, then use that to install CWM. Or install Goomanager app and use that to install TWRP recovery.
hi, so i was on costume rom and i saw your video on how to unroot Galaxy Note 2 it worked very well but when i tried to re root my phone again using your method it worked but when i enter recovery it is just black screen pleas help
try reflashing with odin, pull battery out when u see PASS! then put it back in and do the buttons to get into cwm recovery.
Hey Max,
Any idea how to restore the IMEI and essentially the entire contents of the “Status” page in settings when you root in accordance in directions here and they all get blown away?
This is awful….
I bricked my phone when i tried to reset it to stock, then, I unbricked my phone,then i bricked my phone when i flashed this because i lost my root after i flashed the stock firmware. i unbricked it again, Should i try to flash this again?

I rooted my note 2 at@t now when I try to get in to recovery it spazzes out I did the steps on the web site could I just flash a new rc
All,
I have a GT N-7100 china version. I followed the instructions to root my phone. Odin successfully installed the root. zip file. However, what I noticed after wards is that when i press the Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button ( attempting to install a custom rom – rom already downloaded to the phone), nothing happens other than the samsung logo shaking and being out of place.
Please help. Did I do anything wrong?
Will this root method work for n7105t aanyone please?
So after every Custom Rom the binary count goes up? Or does it just go up once? Or how does that work? Should I not use a custom rom until I get the triangle away app?? I will not add a single thing to my phone until I get answers lol
hey when i was rooting gt n7100 odin program said passed .my phone started rebooting .after the model is flashed cm recovery doesnt come but instead loop screen come .then the screen goes blank.after some time it reboots again and start up .though the phone is rooted but it doesnt come into cmw recovery …plz help me
as fast as possible..plzzzz
after it start, and once it goes blank release all 3 buttom and then wait for recovery menu.
I have the exact same problem as Lakshya Sinha. Once odin showed passed, the phone went to a continuous loop with the logo and the name of the handset all over the screen, sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes to the extreme right or to the left. Then, i had to power it off and turn it on again. The binary count is up and i do not see the superuser app. Moreover, the triangle away does not work, neither do the super user apps by CM and CF. Titanium backup does not get root access.
What is the problem here and how can we solve it. the only thing probably common with me and Lakshya Sinha is probably we are both from India. The phone was not locked prior to rooting. It runs on 4.1.2 original firmware.
Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!
I rooted and now my screen is very unresponsive and laggy. I have to tap on an icon several times for it to respond and sometimes it won’t scroll at all. Any fix for that?
I’ve reflashed the stock ROM and even tried several others so it’s not the ROMs. It’s like something in the phone got deleted or changed with the root that is now gone and even flashing the stock ROM won’t fix it.
The screen works normally with eh SPen but with my finger, it sometimes won’t move at all for about 30 seconds then it will scroll okay for awhile then totally stop again.
Hello good day and I hope to respond to my questions . I followed the steps to the letter but when I go to the recovery screen is flashing and I can not enter the recovery as for installation ago Well besides my vercion the telcel the i317m sgh supports the Canadian numbering almost equal its like to install Roms thank you very much

After it rooted and PASSED it rebooted and everything seemed ok. i then tried to back up rom by using the cwm way but when i switch it off and press the volume up, home and power buttons the flashing occurs again and my phone switches off completely. I have no idea what is happening please help.

HI! i have tried your method for root and it passed! however the part where it auto reboots starts to flicker when the samsung sign comes out, when i reboot the device, it is not rooted. Help please!
Thank you!!!!!!!!! Worked like a charm on my SGH-I317M!!!!!
I updated my note 2 to official 4.3 update do I still use the above mentioned method for rooting my phone.
Did you ever figure out the answer to your question. I have the same issue with Note 2 (T889v) on windmobile.
Does this method work on SHV – E250L Galaxy note 2?
the link of galaxynote2root does not have the form ( .tar.md5 )
Sir can you please tell us a way to root samsung galaxy note 2 running the official android 4.3
I’m curious about the same thing, root 4.3. I just received my update from T-Mobile.
Hello frenz, follow my guide if u want to root note2 n7100/n7105 running on 4.3…..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540761
but it will trigger the knox flag. any news on downgrading mk4 bootloader?
Hey Max thanks for the website instructions and files.
i’ve followed your instructions but my phone says it is not rooted even though it followed everyhing… I tried to run titanium backup app after rooting but the app told me that the phone is not rooted.. and the SuperSU app crashes “Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped.” keeps popping up… help plz…
I use canadian Rogers SGH-I317M
Hey, Tim… same here, but I think that I have a little different problem.
I previously rooted my N7100 with Heimdall when I was running 4.1.2, but since the upgrade to 4.3 I come up with the same problem as you.
Everything says “pass” but when I try to go into recovery mode, all I get is a scrolling N7100 screen but no recovery mode.
I think that it has something to do with the “SE” kernel and/or Knox.
Just to clarify, I was running the stock Rom when I was rooted with 4.1.2.
I tried numerous times to root with 4.3 and like I said, everything came out fine… even the Binary Counter says “5” but none of the rooted apps will work now.
Anyway, I’m still Doing all the research that I can on rooting the N7100 with 4.3, but now that the Note 3 is out, I don’t think that anyone has much interest in rooting the N7100 that is running 4.3 with the SELinux kernel and Knox.
Not giving up yet tho.
hallo max…..does android version do the same thing for that?
After download from odin the phone did not load cwm recovery like your picture. It showed gt n7100 on the screen then started to flicker real fast. After couple flickers it stops with a black screen. From there I can turn the phone on like normal. I have super user on the phone. I tried to install twrp through goo app but it won’t install. I also rooted three times with the same results.
Max, I rooted my sgh-i317 that was on 4.3……. I factory reset it and it hung up on boot loop…. I was able to get into recovery once, now nothing…. the phone will not boot past the “Samsung Galaxy Note 2″ screen. I cannot get into recovery at all…. The only thing I can do is get into download mode…. So, I get into download mode and use odin and stock rom…. still nothing….. no boot past samsung screen and no recovery mode…… Any ideas? Thanks
hello, thanks for helping us for free but i already tried too root my Note 2 gt-n7108 but after root not opened any more its stop on the first screen with samsung logo and not working, what can i do ?
thanks in advance
I tried this method on Android 4.3 but it is not work, a security message saying:
“An attempt to access a secure area on your device without authorization has been blocked”, and the SuperSU stopped.
Is there any other firmware for rooting Android 4.3?
Thank you very much!
I had fixed “Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped.” issue for Note 2 – N7015
1. Installed ES File explorer/ ES file manager and open it.
2.Search and search for super and you should see superuser.apk.
3 Hold your finger on that apk icon until a little sqaure show up that you can mark it
4. Choose that and than select ALL install it.
Have a try and good luck
I tried to open super SU but then the security notice pop out and said “An attempt to access a secure area on your device without authorisation has been blocked.

Did you try this on Android 4.3?
Which Note 2 model?
Will this method work to root a Windmobile Note 2 (T889v) running on Android 4.3?? Or do I need to odin back to 4.2.2 first and then use the root and finally install any custom roms?
Just got a Note 2 sgh-i317 with CleanROM ACE 4.9.0 on it but I have done a few different checks to see if it is rooted but there is no proof of it on there right now. I have checked Terminal Emulator. Tried Root checker, and even tried downloading TWRP manager, which both told me I do not have proper root access. In Root Checker Pro, it did say that BusyBox was installed properly though, which shows it was previously rooted. I am thinking the person who had it before me rooted the device, flashed with CleanROM, and then unrooted it. I need help on figuring out what is going on. I am new to the root and custom rom thing. I am wanting to go back to stock rom so I can do the update it or reroot it to download more up to date rom. Can someone give me some advice on where to go from here? All help will be much appreciated. Thanks!
I can follow everything up to the point after I click “Start” then I get a FAIL error after the first block. Complete (write) operation failed. I cant restart the phone except in the ODIN download mode. HELP!
I have same problem. It says fail when i start odin.
Try using another USB port and cable first. If that fails, try using another computer.
Follow up:
No matter which USB I tried, nor how many times I re-loaded the drivers, this method did not work. Part of the message displayed mentioned “NAND,” so I checked some forums. According to a knowledgeable poster at one site, “failure at nand write start is a dead emmc chip”
Great – after one attempt at rooting, the hardware is fucked. I can’t even get Kies to connect and attempt an emergency recovery – it’s dead, Jim.
This was not my first root of a phone, I am not a total noob. I did EVERYTHING according to the process EXACTLY as outlined by the author and still wound up bricking my phone. Fortunately it’s under warranty and I did not attempt to take it apart so I’m saved. Maybe something changed in a recent download for the Note2 that prevents rooting, but either way be warned – the method outlined above will brick your Note2!
When i run SuperSU it say ” Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped. ”

When i run SuperSU it say ” Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped. ”

Mohamad,
I had the same problem. My AT&T phone had been upgraded to 4.3 prior my trying to root. I had noticed that the rooting of the phone was completed but kept on getting ” Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped. ”. After searching the web I found out that the 4.3 upgrade Knox on the phone which prevents SuperSU to get root access. Some post suggested to go to the play store and select upgrade for the SuperSU application and give SuperSU root access when prompted, but this did not work for me. I did not have the option to upgrade SuperSU.
What worked for me was to disable Knox manually (google “Disable Knox”). After Knox was disable I was able to give SuperSU root access.
I rooted my note 2 (sprint) and flashed macks rom to enable my hotspot and it’s crazy slow even w a 4g lte connection. ..any way to remedy this?

Not related but you guys seem really smart. I have a samsung galaxy note 2 GT-N7100 and it is encrypted and i do not have to code to unlock it. i have tried to do a factory reset and that hasnt worked. can i do anything else to take that encryption off? thanks if yall can help.
Hi Max, you are the Note 2 Meister, if anyone has a solution to this problem, you will have it.
I have a HK GT-N7105 running the stock 4.3 rom which has previously been rooted via chainfire’s rooting method, and everything worked fine. I just updated to the latest stock ROM (Baseband version/build # N7105ZHEML1/JSS15J.N7105ZHUENA1) and all of a sudden after re-rooting the KNOX security is denying me permission to run SU. I had previously “disabled” KNOX as sysadmin. Is there any way to kill KNOX? Have tried some of the solutions on the net without success.
Thanks a million in advance.
I did an update of SUPERSU after the room but now I’m getting from it that there is no SU binary installed and super SU can not install it.
What do I do?
Phone: T-Mobile SGH-T889
Issue: Unable to boot into CWM Recovery. Used Rom-Manager to boot to recovery after flashing root+Recovery using Odin. Flashed Clockworkmod 11 nightly. Forgot to install GAPPS. Restarted phone and I cannot get into Recovery because I am unable to install Rom-Manager without GAPPS. I tried all the key combinations, but no luck getting into recovery to install the GAPPS zip file.
Tried: Flashed the cwm6-root-note2.tar a second time using Odin on Windows PC. When holding Vol (Up) + Power + Home, Samsung logo flashes and scrolls up the screen twice, then boots into CWM 11 Rom.
Unsure if I should try to return to original phone setup. The steps suggest I might have to boot into Recovery if phone hangs…but I am not certain I would be able to get to Recovery.
Any suggestions?

i have a note 2 lte sgh-i317m canadian model, but i can´t root my note 2 because i updated to android 4.3 and this Stock rom has Knox. I try another method but no works 🙁 also the counter Knox warranty void indicate one and no zero. i understand a little this reason, because failure Kingo Android ROOT.
how i can rooted my note 2 sgh-i317m canadian?
excuse my bad English. greetings.
i317M does not have a locked bootloader, meaning you can simply install CWM and root. Did you try that?
no matter that my note 2 has android 4.3 and KNOX?
CMW & TWRP both say phone not supported! I’ve already bricked a couple of phones, and I’m sure I’m already on Telcel’s shit list, so I can’t do it again!!
Where do u see that message? Which model number do u have?
those answers show up on the cmw & twrp, I have model # sgh-i317m
now I have another problem, I downloaded and installed celltick start, forgot pin number, how can I unlock my phone?

Hey bro,
I have been having horrible problems with my AT&T note 3. After the last kitkat update using any of the four browsers including the stock browser has become completely aggravating. Every time I load a page I have to force close the browser APP in order to load another. I have to force stop and clear all data or the browser wont load another page, whether it’s a link from the current page or if I closed the browser and try to start a new search or enter a web address. I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and if rooting would be the answer. I have seen several methods for rooting the SM-N900A on YouTube and other forums but Iv’e only ever used your methods in the past and I am paranoid and don’t like experimenting. I’ve done searches online and on your high on android and rootnote.com forums but haven’t been able to find a tutorial from you on how to root the SM-N900A. So long story long… Do you have a method posted that I haven’t been able to find or is there a particular reason that you haven’t…
Thanks bro,
Casey
Please help, I rooted my SGH-I317M on 4.3 and everything works fine. But when after I updated 4.4.2 and updated SuperSU with 1.99r4, the rooting still doesn’t work. Any ideas? Oh and I have tried to use the GalaxyNote2Root.zip method to root 4.4.2 but no luck. Please help!
I follow the instruction on this page and I got ROOT working. But as an added steps, I have to install SuperSU manually after the ROOT. Then go back into each rooted apps and make sure they regain root privilege.

Hey guys one more thing . I updated the supersu n it says Their is no Su binary installed n this is a problem . U need to re-root ur device manually or consult ur forum . Help guys plzzzz .
Thanks Max, it worked like a charm!
Rooted my second device following your easy to follow guide. My first was a Galaxy S2, also rooted following your tutorial, elsewhere.
Appreciate all your work.
Hello! I need some serious help. I just bought a refurbished SGH-T889 and I am having trouble getting the root to work. Here’s the laundry list of things I’ve encountered:
My phone notifies me that there was a Samsung security block for something that tried to gain unauthorized access to my phone. That security asked for an update. I tried both update and non-update and the root still won’t work.
Supersu won’t start up. I’ve granted permission to upload unkown sources. I tried to upload the SuperSu update through ES file explorer with the Root option turned ON. Every time I tried to load the updated Super Su, it will say install not completed, or something like that.
Titanium backup won’t work either by asking for root access. I will get a notification on the bottom screen, saying that there’s an error.
The cwm root from this site won’t work on my phone either. I tried to go into recovery and the screen will go black. I’ve tried another file from another site: CF-auto-root… I can go into recovery with that file. I can’t do much else though. I still have all of the same problems that I’ve mention earlier.
I’m basically stuck from here, wondering if I should unroot the phone. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
try using one of the latest versions of SuperSU, flash this with CWM:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/tools/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip
Thank you. Turns out, I had to disable KNOX by installing a different version of SuperSU. I know this is similar to your tip. For some reason, I couldn’t download other versions of SuperSU. There was a site that I found that showed how to disable KNOX and had the right version of SuperSU to disable KNOX. Everything thing from there was smooth sailing. I’m now running the Custom Liquid smooth 4.4.4. ROM. So far, so good! Thanks again!
http://www.droidviews.com/disable-knox-security-service-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
Would you please give the link to that particular Supersu, for the many ‘rest of us’? It would be most appreciated!!
I did. The comment is awaiting moderation. In the meantime: Google how to disable KNOX on t-mobile sgh-t889. It’s on the droidveiws website.
Thank you for the effort. It keeps saying, ‘There is no Supersu binary installed and this is a problem.’ while I’m thinking, ‘Ya think!?’ I tried it twice. I appreciate the Google search term anyway. I’m just having no luck with this.
Did you get SuperSU to update the binaries? That would be the next step after disabling KNOX with Super SU. If I remember correctly, I used Root Checker to make sure the phone has root access after disabling KNOX. Then, I had to reboot the phone, open up SUPER SU again. SUPER SU asked me if I wanted to update the binaries. I hit yes and then everything pretty much took off from there.
hi, thanks for your instructions. I followed all your instructions as outlined. Unfortunately, super su does not show up in the apps drawer nor on any of the home screens. I used another app from the app store to check root, and it said the device did not have proper root access. I then used cwm to install the updated super su that you posted above, and the installation did not report any problems. But the end result was the same – no root access. Not sure what to do now… any ideas?
you flashed SuperSU in CWM? Open up SuperSU app right after that.
thanks max, unfortunately that didn’t work. But what did work (after some searching and experimentation) was (in case it helps someone):
* installed the latest twrp using odin
* used twrp to flash supersu ver. 1.94
* update supersu via app store
* reboot, then started supersu, and followed prompts – to get root!
i followed every step of your article but i still cant get my note 2 kitkat rooted. i did a repeat of the entire procedure but to no avail. i even did the update of my supersu.. but still root checker shows that this device has no proper root access. and everytime i open supersu, it says the app has stopped. my knox = 1. what should i do next?
Pls advice.. Thanks.
i follow the step but i cannot get my note 2 root every time i hit start i got message said fail pls advice
Try using a different USB port, turn off KIES, and try a different USB cable. If all fails, try using another computer, your Windows drivers may be at fault.
Hey Zedomax,
I’ve tried this several times with both CWM and TWRP tar’s. I just can’t seem to get it to work. I have the T-mo T889, with that darn Knox. Several times I read that Supersu would ask if Knox should be disabled, but I never get that request. Also, it says there is no Supersu binary and that I have to reroot manually. WTH, does that mean, please?!? Tried ROM Manager’s update for both CWN and TWRP, but they won’t work either. Keeps saying that ‘Unauthorized access’ line. Help! I’m at my wits end!
One more question, will I be able to tether my device once I (or probably you) get this working? You said in a video before that it’d be free, but when I rooted before, I tried PDANet, and FoxFi, neither of which worked. Suggestions for that one? Thank you in advance!
Dear Max,
A repeat of earlier query, as did not seem to be answered:
I have a problem on a NT-7100, running 4.3, I followed the root steps fine, but it came up with error saying “Unfortunately SuperSU has stopped”
Then tried downloading Titanium Backup, it does not have root access and a security notice from Samsung comes up saying it attempted to access secure area and do I want to update policy – I clicked “cancel” not sure what to do here?
Please explain how to update version of SuperSU using CWM – I do not even know what CWM is. I have downloaded the file, but now what?
(now – three weeks later, and I have been ignoring the security notices that keep coming up, if I try to open SU it says “There is no binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it….”)
So obviously I am a newbie, and would appreciate steps forward, as currently stuck in limbo (is the phone halkf rooted, or not at all? e.g. I can’t update or even check for upgrade from 4.3 as it says “your device has been modified. Software updates not available” So I need to do something, either to fully root it, or suggestions if you think I should give up and un-do what I’ve done so far and go back to pre-attempting to root it.
Many thanks in advance
I have gone thru these steps three time now without success
I ave tmo note 2 with android 4.3
when ising Titanium or Rootchecker basic it states i could not acquire root priveledges This application will not work Root access failed
You tried flashing updated SuperSU? http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/tools/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
I tried it, but no joy. Over and over, it just keeps saying, something like ‘your binary is not installed.’ Did some searching and DroidViews said to try towelroot. No go. Any suggestions?
Which Note 2 do you have?
I root my note 2 then when I open supersu it says unfortunately supersu has stopped.
I tried this, too, but no joy. (I have comment above and got some suggestions from DroidViews). This didn’t work for me. Says I don’t have binary.
hi!im getting a note 2 4.3! how do i root it? and the knox is a pain in the ass. how do i remove it?
You can remove software knox when you root it. SuperSU app will ask you to remove it, it’s easy.

on the last post i forgot to mention With tmobile
hello,
thanks for the tutorial
i’m not sure if you missed this step or maybe i was the only one with this problem
even after installing the drivers, rebooting in download mode, and running the Odin program the “ID:COM” box was not turning yellow until i removed the battery (while leaving the phone plugged in via USB cable);
only then did the box turn yellow
and after that the root happened in SECONDS!!!
thanks,
Salman
Interesting. Not sure why but that’s definitely good you got it rooted!
Hey Max,
I’m having the same issue without a fix yet.
I have tied to connect with Odin/USB/Note 2 with 2 different phones and 2 different PC’s without success. I’ve installed the Samsung USB drivers successfully and followed your instructions, tried different USB ports, no success getting the yellow “ID:COM” with random number. Please help, I’m continuing to try different methods, but nothing.
Thanks!
Greg
Thanks !!! This worked for me …
Hello Max,
Do you know how to fix water damaged Galaxy Note 2?
Mine’s responding to the stylus pen, but not to the finger touch.
Did you dry it first? I would just leave it in a bag of rice for a week at least.
Thanks for the quick Reply.
Actually it’s Note 3 and it’s been damaged awhile ago like 3-4 mons so I don’t think it’s gonna work.
Hey Max.
I have got 4.4.2 and as it mentioned earlier that i will have to update the super su separately.
I know how to process it by cwm, however it not going in that mode and all it do is flash with gt n7100 blinking two or three times all over the screen and then ph shut down.
if i switch it on, then checked that root is not completed because of that
so will request you if you can assist me in that and tell me how to do it , how to flash supersu
feel free to drop me an email
thanks in advance
So you flash CWM recovery but you cannot boot into it?
Hi Max ….How you doin ? I know you got thousand of question and its not easier to revert to all of them But, I appreciate if you get some valuable time from your busy schedule to revert to this comment !
Yes Max I also have exact issue like Mr. Ranjan and followed your instruction…. Odin say Pass but not able to boot into CWM to update SU !!!!
Have a nice day…Thanks !!!
Hello Max,
I have faced the same problem here, Yes we are not able to boot into CWM recovery

I followed the directions, got a pass on Odin, and keep running into errors with supersu. it keeps stopping, and I get the warning message about unauthorized access. I can’t use any rooted apps because of this, and all I want to do is get my phone unrooted. I’m stuck in root limbo at this point. Help!!!
Try downloading this updated version of SuperSU then install again with CWM recovery. That should give you full root without errors.

I understood your step by step Odin explanation fine, but have no idea how to use / install SU from a zip file via “CWM recovery” – maybe that;s cause I do not really understand what CWM recovery is
Sorry I forgot that this tutorial doesn’t include that. Try Step 8 thru 14 here:

Hi,
I followed your instruction, and I had no isssues. But when I opened the SuperSu app, I got this Security notice message that says: “Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked.”
I have a Tmobile Note 2, JB 4.3.
Can you help me how I should proceed?
Thanks,
Joe
Try downloading this updated version of SuperSU then install again with CWM recovery. That should give you full root without errors.

I have done all these things although i cannot get my T-Mobile SGH-T899 into recovery mode .. the start up screen flashes and goes black. I get a different message when I try to start up SuperSU.
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually Re-root – consult the relevant forums for your device!
I also keep getting the Security Notice from KNOX i am assuming, but I cannot enter KNOX mode on my phone either .. it appears that I am stuck in the middle of rooting. Any suggestions would be great.
Also when going into Downloading mode, I checked a few things .. Custom Bianary Downloaded :Yes (6 counts)
KNOX Warrenty VOid: 1
Current Bianary: Custom
No root access also cannot run TriangleAway app
I only ran as instructed on the youtube Video and didnot get the screen on the phone where it was downloading the bianaries .. it just reset back to main screen
Re-flash SuperSU zip file, then after booting, let your phone sit for about 10 minutes, THEN open up SuperSU app (should be in your drawer) and if it asks you to DISABLE KNOX, say YES. That’s it.
Thanks Max .. I don’t know what happened, but I tried to boot into CWM this morning and it magically worked, I have root access now. Whatever magic words you spoke it worked .. Root access success
My Odin wont open it will flash up for a second and then go down please help
Make sure you EXTRACT the zip file first!!!
Hi! so i rooted mine using Odin 3.09 and installed SuperSu 2.01 later on due to earlier versions having problems. but after restart pc wont recognize my phone so i tried changing cables, removing battery while in download mode and etc yet to more failure 😀 please help! thanks!
GT N7100 btw cheers!
Not sure on that, rooting does NOT AFFECT your USB connection, it must be your computer or USB hub/cable, double-check.
Hi I have rooted note 2 and then installed SuperSU but still it fails when system boots it says “unfortunately SuperSU” stopped and even if I try to run SuperSU I get same error.
I have downloaded and installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip.
Also can you tell us how to unroot note 2 I mean install device original rom
Hi Sagar, you need to go into recovery mode (im a newbie so i used an app) in order to install SuperSU zip file. Assuming you have CWM installed, once in recovery mode click install zip file from SDcard then locate said file. From there wait till it says done/complete. Thats the most i can help, cheers!
And, I’m unable to even get into recovery mode!!!
After root, the screen mirroring function cannot works.
Any related?
Not related.
I have a N7105m. I upgraded to DN3 v5 very nice but after I loaded viper4 it went into a boot loop. I recovered by flashing a stock 4.4. Now I cannot root the phone and recover my data with titanium. From what I’ve read it is imposible to root 4.4 because the boot loader is locked. I’ve tried three different methods including your and none work. I found one that seemed promising Ghettoroot. but it is not adapted for the n7105. I have info from root checker pro I could send you. also Super user says “no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install” Thank you
Hey thanks yu ! Ive been trying to root my note 2 for a long time.. it was quick and easy. im gonna definitely reccomend your root to friends
Hey,
This method no longer roots the latest version of 4.4.2 on T889V (T889VVLUDNH2). Any suggestions?
Use the latest SuperSU v2.0 downloadandroidrom.com/file/tools/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip
Hey,
This method no longer roots the latest version of 4.4.2 on T889V (T889VVLUDNH2). Any suggestions?
You can use updated SuperSU 2.0 zip file and should root fine on 4.4.2.
Amazing! That did it.
hi max,can i know why my note 2 after root but super user still can’t used?can I root again?3q

I have a 4.4.2 and I have just rooted the device, but when I try to get into recovery mode, the screen starts flickering at the start up screen!!! Please help, I’m trying to install the s5/note3 ROM.
I have the same damn problem.
This blog was… how do you say it? Relevant!!
Finally I have found something that helped me.
Kudos!
My first time rooting and facing issues.
I followed the steps exactly. Once flashed, the device reboots. However on reboot the screen flickers and the initial white text “galaxy note 2” screen moves around wierdly, then screen goes blank. After a while restarts into my android. SuperSU stops working.
I switch off, and start by Volume Up + Home + Power. Screen flickers yet again and goes blank. If i press power after a while, it does not start the phone (which means CWM has launched, but i can’t see it!). I press power again and phone starts.
There is a shortcut named eu.chainfire.supersu.MainActivity. When launched it says “SuperSU stopped working.”.
same problem same problem.
hi,
1. download supersu binary 2.02 then go recovery.
2. once there, install zip file from sdcard.
3. Locate file then install to fix supersu.
4. Restart. Hope it works, cheers!
Unable to enter recovery. Everytime I press the three buttons, the flickering happens as mentioned above. Any other way I can flash the binary?
does the flicker happen during Odin Mode or in Home Screen?
You can try to install QuickBoot or any restart app and from there restart with recovery.
flicker is at the N7100 word when i boot. after flicking it’ll go black and stop for a while then boot like nothing happened.

Hi
Just tried rooting my GT-N7105 (android 4.4.2), after following all the steps to the T I haven’t been able to load into CWM recovery and am just getting the android recovery. It says “No Command” then has the dead android figure with error written on him. From the android recovery i tried loading SuperSU and rebooted still not rooted.The phone boots fine and still seems to function as it did prior to the attempted root. Odin gave me no error messages and ran as it does in the video. Could someone help please. I am a complete novice and this is my first root. Also I’m from the UK so if that makes a difference to my model of phone could you let me know.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Harry

I know this probs waaaay too late but, I am trying to root my SGH-T889 and I am having a lot of trouble.

hi, download Subinary zip file and install using recovery. hope this helps.
Can someone help me ? I have a weird fail I got a T-Mobile Note2 (T-Mobile Austria) but my version number is still N7100 so I am not able to upgrade to any T-Mobile Roms but when i try International Roms i get a signal strength of -1 (just emergency call) pretty anoying also my 3g works only in 4.3 or higher … I blame T-mobile.
How can i get my files from knox after rooting??? I forgot to take backup before rooting.
i have just rooted my my galaxy ote 2 and try to open a certain app and it says “could not get root permissions. error -1
Let me save people who own the T-Mobile version a lot of time.
If you UPGRADED TO 4.3 OTA with the T-Mobile variant (SGH-T889), this will not work as KNOX is installed and will block it. Knox WILL give repeating message on there being a threat they are blocking and will not go away until you flash stock 4.3 using Odin 3.07 or 3.09.
btw… (I’m not responsible for anything)
Hello
I am quite new to this root thing. I have followed all your steps. However when I try to open the SuperSU app and it says that I don’t have SU binary installed and I have no idea what that means. Can anyone help me?
Product Name: GT-N7100
Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
KNOX Warranty Void: 1
AP Swrev: A2
And the phone is running on version 4.3
You will need to re flash 4.3. KNOX blocks all rooting processes. If you downgrade go 4.2.1, you might be able to root. I have the T889 and had the same problem.
How do I go about doing this? Can you please tell how to flash 4.3. KNOX to blocks all rooting processes??
I dont know why, but this is not working for android 4.4, Having problem with supersu And phone is not rooted.
Hi,

2) Take ROM backup
3) Install new ROM (planning for D N3)
Please let me know, if I need to add any precaution step to avoid any issues.
ALso can you please share the link for the D N3 ROM.
Thanks

My OS version is Android 4.4.2
2/13/15 Please – I need some help. Tried rooting my T-mobile Note II using method above. All seemed to go well, but at the end of the installation of the .tar file via Odin 3.07 instead of “PASS” it said “RESET” and the original OS was reinstalled. Disconnected phone after reboot (Odin now said “PASS”) but phone rebooted and I now get a security warning “unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked”. I see the superuser icon in my appdrawer with a red # sign over it. Also a message that “unfortunately, SuperuserSU has stopped.” Is there a way around this? My phone is SGH-T889 android 4.3 Baseband version T889UVUCMK7. The phone works fine but I can’t get rid of the security message or superuserSU or get root. Can you advise? Thanks

Hi
I tried to root my Note 2 GT-N7100 (Kitkat 4.4.2) today.While proceeding with Step8 though the ODIN showed no error, during the CWM installation my device gets a flickering screen and no codes is appearing. Post reboot though the SuperSU is installed its not getting started.
Also when I try to reboot to CWM recovery the same flickering screen appears. The Current Binary & System Status shows “Custom”.
Tried redoing the process but it repeated the same issue.
Please advice how to resolve this…
