I just want to root - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have updated to UEALH2 and I am looking to root it , but there is prerooted rom and 2 or 3 methods and complaints about wifi and unmatching hash check after download .... I am confused . Can somebody explain how to root and keep COMPLETE STOCK .

I rooted with Method 2 (install CWM via Odin, install SuperSU via CWM) and reset the flash counter meanwhile with TriangleAway.
That method only installs su and leaves the rest untouched.

That's what I did and stock recovery is gone . I went to root galaxy note website and it points where to download stock recovery , but it said
n7000 . when you click on link it said download n8000 stock recovery I downloaded anyway and flashed but when I reboot into recovery it shows fallen android and it said something not able to load csc . I just wanted a root for couple things like font changer and adaway and another thing ( i can't remember now ) The note works just fine , but I just want it stock .
Edit : New post just popped up claiming they have stock recovery and kernel . Maybe this will help .

Well... either you flash a modified stock rom with su (requires a matching one) or you need a custom recovery. Where is the problem with a custom (and more capable) custom recovery, which also allows a nandroid back.
You need a way to install su and you need to modify the device for this purpose. Stock does not permit installing su.

Danke akxak .
I was going to go to the store to return it this morning . It was giving me trouble with the pen . When I pull out the pen it's unresponsive , and touching screen with fingers did not work either . When I reboot it works fine with fingers , but when i pull stylus out it freezes . I managed to restore it but it was still doing it , and then for no reason whatsoever it works fine again ,,,,,,, If i have to return it to store they going to check it to see what I did with it and when they see triangle they going to say no . ( triangle away does not see hidden partition so it's useless ) counter is at zero and I have official rom . If the stylus fails completely I have to keep it and I was telling everyone how my screen is going to stay clean while using stylus .

This problem is well described here in the forums and is probably caused by OTA of a rooted device.
I updated my one with Kies and re-rooted it (CWM and flashing SuperSU). I never had the problems till now.
See the threads.

[Q] Quick check on how to install JB

Hey, this would be my first attempt at doing rooting and firmware installation on an android device (I have jailbroken iOS devices several times in the past, which seems much easier lol). I just wanted to double check things before I end up making a mistake.
EDIT: I have a UK 8010 WiFi only Note10.1 ... Realised I should probably have added that somewhere.
Basically, I havent managed to find a decent step-by-step guide on how to do this, especially not with the current JB updates (probably because they have only been out for a couple of days) so I was hoping someone would help me out, or point me in the right direction.
From what I understand....
1. I root the Note (with help from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152)
Using method 2, I guess... though I did want to check that it is possible to reset the binary counter on the Note??
2. I do a backup of my device with nandroid?
3. I download the Nordic Countries JB 4.1 file from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016792
I'm in the UK, so I figured this was the one to use.
4. I install the firmware using Odin... http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...es-by-odin-program&catid=57:how-to&Itemid=104
5. Use the links in the thread to fix the rom for my 8010 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982821
6. Profit.
Does this seem about right?
And if so:
A) Can the binary counter for Note10.1 be reset fairly straightforwardly?
B) When the actual official firmware gets released, how difficult is it to reset the device back to factory settings?
Thanks for the help
If I were you I would install the update from step three. This would get you to a JB stock base.
Then I would work on root. Same as you have in step 1.
Then step 5 .
I will say tha myself I installed Root and then loaded my recovery (you can use CWM or TWRP). Then I installed a custom ROM and after on good boot any fixes or updater I wanted or needed
Hope this helps.

Ahh ok thankyou, for some reason I assumed that to install a non-standard ROM, I would need to be rooted (as in, installing the 8000 ROM onto my 8010).
Thanks for the tip though
I think you need cwm for the zip fix from step 5. If you want to do a nandroid backup, doit right after flashing cwm, before flashing superuser, in order to have a untouched backup of your stock unrooted Rom. You need root to use triangleaway. Here is how I did it:
1. Flash cwm and use it for backup
2. Flash a deodexed Rom, it is the German one by darkman in dev forum here, reboot and let it load.
3. Boot in cwm again and flash the fix
4. Install triangle away and use it.

[Q] Root...what functionality will I lose?

I have read so many different things I am confused. What actually stops working? I have read that the Spen stops, is this correct? And if I root in order to flash a new stock rom will everything that stopped work again if I unroot?
Thanks
You will loose nearly no functionality when rooting. I did (except from the stuff described below) not find any function which did not work after rooting as no app assumes root rights and therefore should not recognize that SuperSU is present).
For a safe rooting, you flash ClockworkMod Recovery and from CWM, you flash SuperSU into the system. The Note will recognize that a custom rom (CWM) was flashed and will increase the flash counter shown in Download/Odin-mode. Additionally, in Settings/Device Info/Status, the device status will be "custom".
That will mostly stop the internal OTA function (but in my case, Kies did still compare and report the status of the firmware) and I ran into problems with the Allshare Cast Dongle.
The app Triangle away is capable to reset the flash counter (but that did not help in my case, it solved the problem only on my S III).
With Mobile Odin, I flashed the complete JB N8000 firmware as found on sammobile.com. Mobile Odin in the pro version offers Everroot and injects SuperSU and Mobile Odin into the firmware when flashing. My data (user data, installed apps, ...) remained untouched (although I did a backup with Titanium Backup pro before flashing).
That way, I now have a complete stock firmware as I am also back to stock recovery.
After doing this, even Allshare did work without problems.
Cf root is the safest method for root +it adds stock recovery, no problems here with cf root +triangle away

I found if you flash stock recovery, you're still rooted, the Allshare cast dongle works... Just an FYI...:good::laugh:
If I need to use CWM I have the flash file on my sd card and flash using mobile ODIN... Takes 2 secs and I have CWM again. Same with stock recovery....
Dongle works fine...
I use stock UK JB, rooted with stock recovery., can't say about anything else but since it seems only the modem is changed then should work...

I know that's what I described, the recovry has in function nothing to do with root, it is required to get root onto an jnrooted device.

[Q] New to rooting, updating

Hi,
I'm thinking about rooting my Note 10.1 (mostly because I want to use DicertoryBind/Link2SD) via ClockworkMod Recovery.
My questions:
I won't receive any OTA updates, cause the status will be custom, right?
I want to stay on stock FW, what can I do to update my tablet if there is a new OTA:
Can I directly flash the FW from sammobile with odin or are they not campatible with cwm? Would that mean that every time there is a new OTA, I have to unroot, flash back to stock recovery, get the OTA, flash back cwm and root again?
Isn't there a way to flash the update while keeping all my data (just like normal OTA does) and root ?
Thanks!

You can flash using ODIN, but you will need to re root the device, also chances are you will not lose data but in rare cases you will need to do a factory reset which will mean you lose all your data.

Above answer should answer this also but you will need to re-root the device

Okay, that means I download the firmware from for instance sammobile, flash it using ODIN (will that be PDA only, like flashing cwm?), and then re root means install superSU again from cwm or installing cwm completely new?
*edit* Thanks for the sticky!
Yes you can use this post to know how to install using odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080366
You do not require CWM to root you can use the exynos patch apk to root you can download the apk from here

Hey, thanks so far, I just installed CWM, everything went fine, but if I look at the system status it still says "offical", does that mean I can receive OTA's? Or won't that work cause of CWM?
Also I believe before it didn't say "official" but "normal".
*edit* okay, nevermind, after a reboot it sys now "custom"
Since you have rooted your device you can also use Mobile ODIN to flash the roms from sammfirmware directly on your note 10.1. You just make sure everroot is ticked but if you think you might loose root then have both the CWM.tar file saved on your device, its a tiny file so no real space lost or if you don't care about CWM but want root access then keep the exynosexploit.apk on your device. I have everything I need on the sd card in case I cant get to a PC. Much better when I'm not tied to the PC...

Thanks so far, but theres one question left: From what you've said I think it's possible to flash with odin or mobile odin while CWM is still installed, what will happen to CWM after the flash? Is it completely gone (stock recovery comes with the firmware?!) or does "re root" only mean that I have to reinstall superSU with CWM?
You will go back to stock recovery but you might retain root if you ticked everoot function....
As I said earlier, you can reflash CWM onto your Note using mobile ODIN if you have the CWM.tar file stored on your device...
+1 for Mobile Odin if you're wanting to stay stock.
Use Exynos Abuse to root the first time.
Install Mobile Odin pro.
Backup your EFS partition off the device.
Install CWM using Mobile Odin and make a nandroid backup.
Back up apps with Titanium if required.
Download the new stock from you want and use Mobile Odin to install with Everoot selected.
Use Mobile Odin to install CWM.
Simplest method I've found by far.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
After rooting with exynos abuse root, can you just do a factory reset to make you stock again to get OTA's?
I don't believe so (prepared to be corrected) but if you reinstall the stock rom without Everoot ticked and factory reset you'll be back to stock unmodified.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Never tried but I don't think so, The OTA checks for an unmodified system and even though stock recovery says its official the status in settings is "Custom".
What if I'm on the stock rom (never went custom) and stock recovery. All I did was root? Would a recovery restore allow me to get OTA's?
if you are on stock recovery then why would you restore recovery.
Yes if you are rooted only you will receive OTA if you are on the orignal rom (rom from country which note was purchased irrespective of the version you are on)

That is my situation, exactly. So, I can take OTAs in my present situation? I used #2 root option from zedomax. I haven't changed anything or used a custom rom. All I want to do is get current on my updates, and retain root and CWM.
Should I also use TriangleAway, and at what point? Thank you.
Apologies to the OP, but I've been waiting for a chance to resolve this.
If you used method 2 you have replaced the stock recovery... That's what CWM recovery means...
You're flash counter will now be one and need to be reset using triangle away. No OTA for you...

I would advise against restoring stock recovery via CWM What is it you need the stock one for? You can get the stock one back but if you plan to keep root or get root CWM atm is only way to get it so in the end CWM will need to be put back on if you need root.... But what are you trying to do?

My work around for this is the leave the stock recovery, a little pain each time I need to use CWM, but with Triangle away and stock I get OTA updates.
You don,t understand me !
I mean cwm do not allow me to flash update.zip so i want a stock recovery file...
You dont understand them. Flash a stock rom using odin. Or better yet, flash the stock rom you wanted in the first place using odin. If you have cwm right now its likely you are rooted correct? If you are, have you deleted any system apps? If you have the update wouldn't go through anyway. If you are on a custom rom it won't go through anyway. Just use odin and be done with it.

What is the stock version OS for this? I seem to find many answers. Some places list it as 4.0.3, and others list it as 4.0.x or 4.0.?...
Last night I made the horrible choice to update the OS from the stock. Something I had been putting off for months. After I updated it, the system said I had 4.0.3, and there were noticeable changes (the sound that plays when booting up, the infamous 'water drop' sound, the horrible white-washing of the keyboard and sound controls, etc.) Before I decide to try this ROM/Root-ing stuff, I decided to keep updating and see if there were new changes that updated the things I didn't like. No luck. All the things I hate are still present... Current version as reported by the tablet "About device" in settings says 4.1.1 with Kernel 3.0.31-523998 and Build number JRO03C.P5113UECLK7.
I am interested in trying the ROM/Root-ing. But I can't find a solid reference to what version of ICS this came with (unit was purchased in July 2012). The box and every other printed document I could find simply says "Adroid 4.0" or "ICS 4.0", and does not tell me if it is 4.0.3 or 4.0.x or whatever.
I want my normal bootup sound to play. I want these white-washed keyboards and other controls out of here! And for the love of anything, this water drop sound needs to take a dirt nap.
I suppose I would also be happy with anyone who can tell me how to get back the normal dark keyboard and other visuals and/or change the water drop sound back to the simple 'click' that was there before. Although I have already searched for this option and I have not come across these solutions (outside of ROMing and changing the .ogg files around).
ANY help or directions will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,

If you have root and su, bring up a shell and execute
# sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
That should restore the stock recovery from the backup partition (the active recovery is in /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 and the backup is installed on p5).
(That normally gets invoked by init.rc at each boot, but CWM marks it as no-execute to keep it from running.)
Almost what I need I think

[Q] Odin3: checkboxes are disabled

Hi there,
I got a brand new Galaxy Note 10.1 this weekend and tried to get my hands dirty on rooting it just yesterday. So I got Odin3, CWM and SuperSU, installed Samsung Kies and thought I were good to go. Unfortunately, after doing what some guides tell me to do, I'm still on official device status.
Before I go into detail: I had to manually edit the Odin3 INI file to force the device NOT to auto reboot after flashing the CWM - the checkboxes in Odin3 were disabled and greyed out. Can someone explain why and if that might be the cause of my problems?

Thanks, but that didn't help either. Auto-Rebooting brings me back to stock, device state official. I tried to install CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip manually via CWM, but a reboot later it's still "official" and apps that need root access either run forever ("checking...") or freeze the tablet. But since this is getting off topic, I might be better off asking in other threads.

Then you are not understanding instructions .
What is your intention .
Root or flash a stock rom .
Root via either method i posted .
Stock rom direct flash tar file via Odin.
ODIN flash is a tar not a zip.
Custom rom via a rooted phone with recovery zip file from ext sd card or sd card .
jje
Come on, the instructions are pretty clear boot in Odin Mode, click a button in Odin, let it restart, finished. The SuperSU zip file is from another guide, where the tar-file didn't include it. So I tried to manually install it via CWM (I think it was 6.0.2.7 or 8), but that didn't work either. Whenever the device reboots, Root Checker Basic runs for a few minutes and says "Sorry, the device does not have proper root access". If it helps, I used this guide:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...ly-root-fuer-anfaenger-n8000-n8010-n8020.html
Even though it's in german, the screenshots are pretty obvious.
Sorry never ever seen any method with those sort of instructions.Personally not a clue what they mean .
I have used two methods as posted to root note 4 or 5 times. Rooted standard Samsung phones with cwm and root hundreds of times without any of those instructions.
Even run one standard cwm root via Odin to allow a specific rom install followed by a reroot using TWRP this afternoon .

Thanks to Darkman, I finally got it. The problem was the current firmware update from Samsung. I reflashed with the version from January, followed his tutorial (like I did before - wow, after doing this 3-4 times, it certainly becomes second nature), and BAM, the device is rooted. Thanks anyway JJegan
