Hello XDA,
I know there are lot of guides on how to root the Galaxy Note 2,but unfortunately I have not seen a guide that is clear enough to beginners that know nothing about Android. So, after hard work I have done a guide on how to root the Samsung Galaxy note 2 and put it in your hands.
Note:I Have Also Made A Picture Full Guide So, IF This Guide Wasn't Clear For You, You Can Go HERE
Introduction:
Today, I will guide you on how you can root your Samsung Galaxy Note 2.This method is the most easiest, safest and the fastest method up to date. To start off, the method will take little time but it’s more guaranteed to work on any Galaxy Note 2.
Disclaimer:
I’m not responsible if something went wrong on your phone(Usually nothing goes wrong), you’re doing this on your own responsibility. Rooting your phone will void your warranty so don’t root your device unless you know what you are doing.To know more about rooting check What is rooting and it’s top 10 benefits.
Method: Rooting using Odin: [Recommended]
This method works for almost all Galaxy Note 2s,and it will only root and install busybox.
All credits go for Chainfire for making the CF-autoroot make a look at the Original Thread
Requirements:
1-Download these files:
1-CF-Autoroot Depending on your model number which could be found in Setting-> About Phone:
A) For N7100 Model go HERE.
B) For N7105 Model go HERE.
C) SHV-E250K Model go HERE.
D) SHV-E250L Model go HERE.
E) SHV-E250S Model go HERE.
F) SPH-L900 Model go HERE
G) SGH-I317 Model go HERE
H) SGH-I317M Model go HERE
I) SGH-T889 (T-Mobile version) Model go HERE
IF you didn't see your model number above don't try this method because it might brick your phone.
2-Odin 3.07 From HERE.
3-Samsung USB Drivers from HERE and then install them.
4-Make sure to fully backup your device.Check our post on How to Backup Every Android Mobile Phone.
5-Make sure to backup your EFS file immediately after rooting your device.
Step1:Extract the CF-Autoroot until you got a file with .tar.md5
Step2: Extract odin307.zip then run Odin3 v3.07 as administrator.
Step3:Shutdown your Note 2 completely. Then, hold down the volume down button+ the home button then press the power button for 5 seconds, after you will see a warning screen just press volume up.
Step4: Now click on “PDA” and choose the .tar.md5 file we downloaded earlier. Then connect the USB cable to your computer then to your Galaxy Note 2. Now Click on “Start”.
Step5: Once it successfully finishes you will see “Pass” in the above table of the “ID:COM”
* In Some cases Knox disabled SuperSu to work probably.So,if SuperSU wasn’t working probably for you.Download the latest version of SuperSU from the Play Store.Then on launch it will ask you to disable Knox and you should accept.Hope that solve it.
Conclusion:
That's it! Easily rooted. to unroot your device and reclaim your warranty visit How to Un-root Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

Well maybe for you but trust me a lot of people find ketan's guide is hard....am talking about the beginners that doesn't know what CWM is..!!
Am I right?
Thank you for this. I'll attempt to root my Note 2 in a couple of weeks so this is certainly appreciated.
Is this the latest method to root? All I want to do is gain root so I can use apps like titanium backup, ad away, cerburus and maybe tasker.
Can I just gain root and use all of those while sticking to the stock rom? And also can i still get the phone repaired under warranty should it develop any faults later on?
Very straight forward instructions, thanks!
One question, which method is preferred? I see Method 2 is 'Recommended' -- why is it then not Method 1?
Is there any downside to either method? From a stock rom, which would you say is the 'slickest' method?
Thanks!!

Hopefully these methods are the latest.And yes you can root and stick to the stock rom,for that I advise you to follow method 2.And when you root your galaxy note 2 your warrenty is void so you should before going to Samsung Service Center to uninstall all root apps and unroot your device.

Method 2 of course because it will only root your phone and keep it as stock as possible (CF-Autoroot)unlike method 2 that will either flash a pre-rooted sytem image or root the phone using CWM (custom recovery)which is for some people is better since they want to root and install ClockWorkMod recovery.But,I think method 2 is recommended because it has less disadvantages and keeps your phone as stock as possible.

About 2 week's old with my Note 2 and this is my first Android device (Sprint Sero user ) so I am total noob here.
I just checked my phone and it is SPH-L9000 with Android 4.1.1
Which rooting method can I use? Most likely above methods wont work for me, am I correct? Any advise here plz. Just point me to the correct thread. Thanks
I thought CF auto root wasn't safe due to SDS risk?

UPDATE:
As many will be aware there are now Root methods that do not increase the flash counter, therefore meaning they do not irreparably void your warranty like the initial ODIN method. I have made a video for the new method to supplement Chainfire's excellent written guide here.
DEPRECATED GUIDE - NO NOT USE THIS GUIDE UNLESS YOU HAVE NO WARRANTY AND WOULD PREFER TO USE ODIN BECAUSE YOU ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH IT (ALSO SUBSTITUTE NETCHIPS KERNEL WITH A CFROOT ONE AS NETCHIPS KERNEL BREAKS WIFI TETHER):
I've Rooted my Note using Odin, very simple like most Samsung devices. I've got a full guide here.
Basically flash netchips kernel for CWM in PDA in Odin and then flash a SU zip from recovery and you're done (if that isn't enough info for you then check the blog). Current drawback of this approach Vs the zergrush exploit is that you cannot return the Note to a factory state for warranty purposes (the flash counter remains elevated). This means your warranty is really, truly, borked. I'm sure someone will crack it soon, but for now this is the state of play.
Video also has bonus demo of the Note running the 'tegra-only' Shadowgun and outputting it via MHL to an external monitor and playing it with a PS3 controller!
I know this is off topic but I got a few questions
1) If I want to flash stock ROM (KJ4), will I need to specify PIT file? If so, which one?
2) How did you get Shadowgun on market? Mine says that it's not available for this device.

I used Chainfire 3D in order to download Shadowgun from the Market - my blog has guides on how to use Chainfire and PS3 controllers (info also available here at XDA0.
I got another question, if I set Chainfire to use NVIDIA plugin, then will other apps that worked previously have any impact or will they stop working?
It will use the Nvidia plugin for them too, which may or may not break them. If you get the Pro version of Chainfire then you can use 'per-app' settings.
Ah okay, I just bought it. Thanks a lot for your help, playing with 4xMSAA doesn't really impact performance and I'm loving it.
Don't forget to try 16xMSAA... on the SGS2 most games are well playable on that setting, I would expect the same for the Note.

Unless told explicitly by somebody who knows what he's talking about, you don't need to use a PIT file at all.
In all my days using and flashing the SGS1, SGS2, and SGT7, I have used a PIT file maybe 5 times out of near 10000 flashes.
Hey CF, any idea why some of us are having issues with CF3D and the newest SU? I had to flash about three different versions in recovery last night to get Root to work for anything but Titanium Backup?
Nope - no idea. I don't make SU you know... (that's ChainsDD)
Also, I sent you a PM, any chance you were able to check out my question ?

I thought you might know from Chainfire point of view though...
Not really. To be completely honest... SU has IMHO always been kinda prone to issues. It's pretty sensitive code.
Ah well, I've fixed it anyway with the method I posted before, but it took a few SU build flashes in recovery to crack it. Will let you know about your question later.

Umm... the zergRush root exploit also works, and it doesn't involve fiddling with Odin either. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326955
Yep, thats true. "Fiddling" with Odin as you put it is second nature to many of us by now though...

True. But there are reported issues with netchip's kernel atm so it's probably safer for most people who just want root to do it via the zergrush method.

Indeed, kernel issues can be resolved by flashing the stock kernel back, Root should be retained. Will try it when I get home this evening and confirm and add it to the guide.
sir can i ask a question?
after i install the cwm and i will make a nandroid back up before rooting the phone.
if i restore the unrooted back up. Will i go back to became un root again and go back to out of the box state?
No, it will restore to the exact point at which the backup was made, after Root installation. If you have not yet Rooted your Galaxy Note please be aware there is a better method available now that does not increase the flash counter (important for warranty).
I have a video guide for the new method (thanks to zergrush and Chainfire), it is currently converting and will be uploading to youtube shortly (although it is not hard to follow the text guide in the Chainfire Root thread either).
I got S4 today,and i want to root, but I failed!
Please provide more details like:
- which firmware/rom u are on?
- which guide did u follow?
- what all steps u did?
- how it failed (descriptions, logs, screenshots, videos etc)

Hi Many peoples of the world! :victory:
Not sure if anyone clocked on to this but I've been trying to root my tab 2 for ages and since the 4.2.2 update I've wanted root even more, But I never plucked up enough courage to risk all my data by flashing that CF Auto root thingy using Odin.
So for the past 6 hours I've been googling my A** off to try and find a way to Root.
:highfive: And I've finally succeeded!! :highfive:
I found this post while on my travels, apparently this is to root a "Root Protected" phone so I thought why not, So I followed the instructions and what do you know, I got root!
This might be of use to a few people who were in the same situation as me, If not well I cant do much about that.
Many thanks to Abhiraj4u who's post it was

I know its not designed to work on tab2 but the end result is that it does, And Perfectly as far as I can tell!
All you need to do is connect your tab 2 with USB Debugging enabled and hit start on cydia impactor, after that you have to install a superuser app of your choice from the playstore, I prefer SuperSU.
:laugh:
P.S. Quick question did you loose data when using your method to gain root?

I updated my Galaxy S4 (1337 AT&T) to 4.4.2 KitKat, without realizing that I risked the possibility of not being able to root my phone for a while. Is there any way to root my phone right now? If not, when do you think a root method will be available? I use on a mac running OSX Mavericks at the moment so if there are any methods specifically for macs then please do let me know. Thank you! :laugh:
You can downgrade to a semi-working 4.3 firmware and then flash a pre-rooted 4.4.2 rom using safestrap. Although this method requires you to use odin at the end so idk if odin works for mac or not.
Further details discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692825
There is no traditional root method available, but the root-workaround is an excellent solution to gain root access.

Thanks, when do you estimate a traditional root method will arrive for my phone?
There is no estimate. For future reference, asking for any kind of estimated time is generally frowned upon as the insanely hard working devs here on xda have a ton of stuff on their plates BEFORE you add in actually working on any device. Not trying to sound like one of those asshats that gets all bent out of shape about people who ask for an eta, just giving you the heads up.

Well, with a working root method already available, most devs see no reason or motivation to do something redundant. Since root access is already available.
If our bootloaders were unlocked, then we would be able to use Chainfire's CF-autoroot method.
If I root like this, will I still be able to install custom roms?

Heimdall is generally used on the macs--I haven't needed it but you can google and get familiar--I found numerous sites and some are on xda. Always good to read all you can and kinda reconfirm what one site may say or find out it wasn't right for you.
if you haven't this link should help you get adb working on mac
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237
best advice was already given by 4ndroid99's link and also get very familiar with SafeStrap for your build. Threads for that are on our forum here also. You can't flash custom recoveries, just what SafeStrap provides.
Also, I have never had luck on my iMac with Keis and my rooted s4--recommend not using it

Root Sprint S5 step-by-step....the following is for the Sprint SM-G900P (S5) and SM-860P (Sport S5) Updated 10/20/2014
*The SM-G900P method has been confirmed to work on the Virgin Mobile branded S5. However, do this at your own risk*
-----> If you would rather watch a video of how to root the S5 check out qbking77's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52587088&postcount=1
Please thank the owners of the threads in the links for the work put in to post the necessary files to obtain root/hotspot
**As always, I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device. Just follow the easy steps and all will be good.**
*Before you proceed, if you have not taken the official ND2 or NE5 update from Sammy yet and want to then do that now. It is easier to do the update before obtaining root.
STEP 1 - DRIVERS
Download the Samsung S5 driver and install on your Windows PC: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-G900PZKASPR
--->If you are using Linux no additional driver download is required.<---
After you install the drivers, plug in your phone to the PC and make sure it detects your device and loads the drivers properly. Should be able to access your storage. If not, don't proceed because chances are Odin will not recognize the device either. If this happens, try a different usb port, re-booting PC, cable, etc.
STEP 2 - OBTAIN ROOT SM-G900P (S5)
**Disclaimer.....using CF Auto Root method will trip the Knox counter and can not be undone. This will void the warranty on your device. Towelroot method in itself does not trip the Knox counter.**
There are 2 options for root. Pick whichever you are more comfortable with (my preference is towelroot because it is a faster and safer one click method):
Option 1: **According to the latest info from towelroot thread, this will only work with Kernels dated prior to June 3rd, 2014. May work on newer but chances are not good due to Google supposedly patching the exploit.**
This can be done without the use of a PC. Go HERE, click the symbol, and download the towelroot apk.
After download, install and run. Then, go to Play Store and download/install SuperSU. Run to update binary. Done.
---->For More Adventurous Users....if you want to utilize mod strings for towelroot, install recovery without a PC using Mobile Odin, etc. see HERE Courtesy of fergie716
Option 2: Download Chainfire's S5 Autoroot (Odin included in package): http://download.chainfire.eu/408/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.zip
Then go here and just follow the steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51421067&postcount=2
STEP 2 - OBTAIN ROOT SM-G860P (Sport S5)
**Disclaimer.....using the following method to root (currently the only available) will trip the Knox counter and can not be undone. This will void the warranty on your device.**
Download Chainfire's Sport S5 Autoroot (Odin included in package): http://download.chainfire.eu/460/CF-...ts-smg860p.zip
Then go here and just follow the steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51421067&postcount=2
STEP 3 - CUSTOM RECOVERY SM-G900P (S5)
**Disclaimer.....flashing a custom recovery will trip the Knox counter and can not be undone. This will void the warranty on your device.**
Download the latest PhilZ CWM Advanced Touch .tar.md5 file (custom recovery): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706253
Take this .tar.md5 file and put in your Odin folder. If you don't have Odin yet then download from here: forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421
Then just follow the Odin directions on this page under "How to install with Odin". Just remember you are installing PhilZ and not TWRP but steps are still the same: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51450356&postcount=1[/URL]
STEP 3 - CUSTOM RECOVERY SM-G860P (Sport S5)
**Disclaimer.....flashing a custom recovery will trip the Knox counter and can not be undone. This will void the warranty on your device.**
Download the modified CWM recovery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/development/recovery-cwm-s5-sport-sm-g680p-t2907945
STEP 4 - NANDROID BACKUP
Don't skip----> Now that you have root and a custom recovery, first thing you should do is make a backup in recovery just in case something goes wrong in the future. (hold press Vol Up + Home + Power when powered off to boot into recovery) **I strongly recommend that you backup EFS as well. Keep the backup in a safe place afterwards** Or, you can go HERE, download the tool, and backup EFS with the app. Make sure you have Busybox installed first and put the produced backup in a safe place such as PC hard drive, cloud storage, etc.
Optional:
Now that you are rooted what is a flashaholic to do?
For a comprehensive list of mods, roms, and add-ons click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52456762&postcount=1

That having been said... I'd rather not be the first to confirm the Sprint root method works on Virgin as-is. :cyclops:
Okay...
The Sprint root DOES indeed work on the VM phone.
No problems. Same model. Same firmware.
Download links dead
Can someone create mirrors, the download link of all the requirements are dead
I just clicked them, they all worked fine. Maybe clear your cache on your browser

In order to root you have to have cwm, which is custom recovery. OTA upgrades flash through stock recovery only, so no, it will fail if you try to accept it. You have to be 100% stock to take ota upgrades

Emoji trouble
After rooting my s5 my emojis no longer go through. People recieve them as black squares w/ questions marks and vice versa. Anyone else experience this?

I have just went through all the links and downloaded the required files. No issues at all.

Thanks for the reply.
Does anyone know if we should be expecting another OTA update anytime soon?

I would think not. KK is the latest thing out, and I haven't heard anything in the tea leaves about an update to the S5.
Edit: I stand corrected. Looks like there may be something on the horizon.
