Keep root with JB update? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As we wait for the JB update in US, I was wondering if there's a proven method to keep root on note 10.1?

I updated via Keis (bad mistake!) and lost my root. Even worse, I lost the ability to boot into cmd -- every time I do the Control + power routine I get booted into Android Recovery. Without the ability to get my tablet into download mode, I can't connect with Odin.
Please help --
Either........ is there another way to boot into download mode?
Or........... is there a way to install cmd on my tablet without using odin?
Please....... I am not new to rooting but I need a bit of detailed description. I'm very afraid of bricking my lovely tablet.
thanks,
Barb

Volume down+power button will get you into download mode volume up+power will get you into recovery

Thanks for the response -- however the process you describe does not work after this Kies upgrade. Volume down + power does not get me into download mode -- instead I get stuck in the Android system recovery (3e). (Same with the volume up+power.)
My only options in this Android sytem recovery are to:
reboot
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I am wondering -- what if I were to place the clockword mod recovery zip file on my sd card and then use "apply update from external storage", or simply reboot.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I was also told I might be able to get into download mode through adb.
Thanks again for dialogue.

No chance... Stock recovery needs the zip files to have samsung approval, not only that but it won't allow a different region rom to be flashed either.... Looks like you screwed the pooch on this little puppy...

So just to clarify, you are saying that it doesn't matter whether I can get into download mode or not (which I was able to do, with ADB), because ANY clockwork mod recovery file that I find will be unloadable (because it won't "play" with stock recovery)? Is that correct?
Don't want to sound argumentative, but does that mean that anyone who upgrades their firmware via "official Samsung" will be unable to root in the future? That's not too cool.
But if so, I can live with it.
Again, I appreciate your time.

I know with the S3 there is a root tool that allows rooting via ADB but I don't believe this has been developed for the Note 10.1 as yet. Everything is done via ODIN... Unless you wish to try the 1st method from this thread to get root access - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152 - then install a version of CWM manually...
Stock root is very picky about what it will or wont flash.... Even if you have a stock rom, if the CSC oodes, region, doesn't match it will error out...

No........ that's the goofy part of it. I had an upgrade waiting for me (under "settings, upgrade" and so I stupidly assumed it was the official jellybean. Wrong, wrong! I was simply upgraded to 4.0.4. I can't see any noticeable changes, except for the Android Recovery system having booted out my Clockwork recovery (and the root, of course.)
I've decided to wait a week or so until I get the official jellybean and then decide what to do.

It will also have given you a new template in s-notes - landscape and the scroll bar... It will also have given you the ability to use an exFAT formatted sd card... There were a few other tweaks but not too much...

[Q] Help please! Exclamation Point!

I got the 2.3.5 Update OTA on my One-click-root Nexus and applied the update, but now I'm stuck on the android/exclamation point screen.

That's the stock recovery - hold power and hit vol up to get the menu.
I've been doing that, but nothing happens.
I did a battery pull, and it rebooted in 2.3.4
So what am I doing wrong? Do I need to change something before trying the update again?
Hold power and slide from volume down to volume up. But that wont do u any good you need to flash a custom recovery and reflash super user.

So I goofed something up on my phone?
Is there a way to do this without losing all my app info/game saves?
I was going to run a TItanium backup.
And sorry, I'm a total noob with this.
ROM Manager, would I flash an older ROM or the ClockworkMod Recovery?
At that point could i just install the update and re root with Shabby Penguin's one click and then get all my app data back from Titanium backup?

Nothing is goofed up if you rebooted into 2.3.4.
The update did not apply. Did you receive the OTA or download it manually?
If you are unlocked just flash CWM via fastboot and apply it from there.
If you are locked then you can go back into the stock recovery, hold power down and hit vol up (in that order) to get the menu and apply the update. You may want to ensure it is in the root of the sdcard and named update.zip.
The OTA does not wipe nor is a wipe necessary, so you shouldn't be losing any data/apps.
I got the update OTA, but not it's not asking me if I want to apply it.
I'm sorry I'm such a noob here, but step wise.
If I boot up with Vol UP, I can then go to Recovery and get to ClockWork Recovery.
From there do I just hit update from SD card?

Yeah, choose apply update. Choose your zip from the SD card and apply.
It will go through a series of asserts and then apply if it passes. If you've modified any of the checked system files, boot image or kernel it's likely going to fail.
Well, I didn't alter any of them on purpose
I used Shabby Penguin's one click root so I could use Titanium Backup only. (Although now I'll probably add tethering to the list) So I don't think I changed any kernel files.
It's saying it can't find the file. Whatever downloaded must have gotten deleted somehow. I may just download the update and do it myself like everyone else.
Just to clarify. I place the update.zip in the root and select apply update on the ClockWorkMod Recovery, and that's it?
I was waiting to just get the update OTA organically hoping it would avoid these problems, lol.

In CWM use the choose zip file from SD card option, then you can pick the file regardless of it's name.
That's it - if you are stock (other than rooting) it should apply without any issues.
You may need to reflash CWM and delete /etc/install-recovery.sh to keep CWM installed. I haven't looked at the update itself to see if it is installing the script to reflash the stock recovery.
I had this problem too. I rebooted and its back to 2.3.4. I will attempt to go to 2.3.5 today once I have more time and post my findings here. If anyone has any success please keep updating this thread.
It looks like I have to reflash CWM in order to restore Super User.
My bootloader is still unlocked, but it won't let me run/install CWM. How do I do this?
Jagar, I did finally figure this out after reading through the code in the rooting .bat that Shabby Penguin put together.
basically his file has the Clockwork Recovery image that you need.
Boot up in bootloader.
then type
fastboot flash recovery ______.img whatever image you have.
Then select RECOVERY on the bootloader menu and now you can install the superuser.zip file to re-root.
you might wanna just run the new one click again, make sure its version 2.0.. it will do teh dirty work for ya
Seriously Shabby, big props to you for automating that process. I learned much more from your code than reading through all those other posts
@gnuf99 although you succeeded in getting root , please do read the guides abt adb and fastboot. This will be always handy for you, indifferent of the device you'll use later.

[Q] Update Nexus S from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 manually with a broken power button

Hello everyone
I own a Nexus s I9020 T-mobile. and I'm using it on Vodafone.
My power button stopped working a month back and I'm using widgetlocker lockscreen to unlock.
I did not receive the OTA for ICS last month and i would like to have it on my phone by doing the update manually.
Is there a way to do the update manually with a broken power button ?
Thanks
There is a clockwork recovery with touchscreen interface I can't remember where I saw it though. So you could use that to flash the ota. Or you could flash the boot and system images directly through adb if they have been posted somewhere. You will have to root your phone before you can use these methods

thanks .. but I think the touch based clockwork recovery is only avilable for Galaxy Nexus and more over I dont want to root my phone unless it is absolutely necessary .. because i'll have to re-install all my apps
is there any possible way to do it without rooting ?
The Clockwork Recovery you are looking for is named TWRP (latest is Version 2.0.0). Look at the offical site - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 - choose your device (NS or NS4G) and install via adb
Good luck

should my device be rooted for this ?
and after installing clockwork recovery how do I flash the update.zip file via clockwork, any guide ?
I have a new posted guide which should be useful for you, but you have to have it rooted first.

looks like you have gone back to CM7 from ICS
should I overlook ICS too, coz im pretty happy with GB right now.
You don't need to flash TWRP. In clockwork mod recovery back is back, menu is down, search is select, home is up.

even to flash ClockworkMod or TWRP, first you will need to unlock the bootloader right ?
for this again the need for power button arises..

[Q] Clockwork installed

I have Clockwork mod installed and I am running 4.1.2 JB and I am trying to find out if I can use this to downgrade to 4.1.1 JB. I have never used cwm and I want to put mr.robinsons root injected stock 4.1.1 on my phone. With my ATT s3 I just used odin right from the start to do this and then installed TWRP. On this verizon I used casual to root, unlock bootloader, and install CWM. but now I wish I would have just used odin and Mr. Robinsons method right off the start because I dont know how to get cwm to downgrade to that root injected stock image. Im a noob to the worst degree when it comes to cwm so Ill take the flaming but can someone explain this to me?

If you got the zip rom to be use with cwm then just boot to cwm, select wipe cache, then select advance, then select wipe dalvik cache, then go back to the main page, select install from zip, browse to the zip then flash.

It was a 7z file with a .tar inside it. Can you point me to where I can get the cwm version? Can I just use the file I downloaded and rename it update.zip? That might be a stupid question but I ask anyway. Is there a mr.robinson 4.1.1 root injected stock image that I can use in cwm. Heres the deal. On my ATT if you downgrade to 4.1.1 JB, then you can use that SIM unlock method in the service menu. I searched for hours to find out if you can downgrade verizon to 4.1.1 and do the same thing but I found nothing. on 4.1.2 the menu is there but not all of it and the ATT was the same at 4.1.2, but once I downgraded to 4.1.1 the rest of the menu options were there and I successfully SIM unlocked it. I have found nothing on this for verizon so I figured Ill just downgrade and try it myself. if it doesnt work Im not out anything Ill just use casual again and deal with it.

download rebooter from the market, open and select bootloader mode.
or the old fashion way
power off device, hold down volume down + home button, then press power button until you see message on screen, then hit volume up button, you should be download (Odin) mode.

[Q] Trouble installing KitKat 9.18.94

My Razr maxx hd (xt926) had been rooted and bootloader unlocked sitting on version 9.16.9 for a while. With KitKat available I downloaded the 9.18.49 rom file and reset the phone flashing it with the Blur_Version.9.30.1.XT926.Verizon.en.US rom and getting everything back to stock. At this point it shows build 9.8.1Q I loaded the KK rom on the SD card and tried to flash from stock recovery.
During verification it aborts, with an error
expects build fingerprint of xt926_verizon/vanquish:4.1.2/9.8.1q-94/56:user release-keys
this device has xt926_verizon/vanquish:4.1.2/9.8.1q-94-1/57:user/r

Definitely, the reboot during the install back into recovery is what confused a lot of us who were part of the soak test and tried to apply it manually ourselves.
When you first go into recovery and install the OTA, it will reboot. At that point, it will boot back to the recovery screen. There, you must press volume up + power. That is different from the old vol up+ vol down.
Anyways, once you are back in the "hard to read" recovery (why did they reduce the brightness on the new recovery?), you need to go back and install the OTA again. This time it will continue on where it left off and apply the KK update to your system.
Profit!

Thanks. Just a couple more questions before I do this to make sure I don't send my phone back into oblivion and have to start all over again. Is the CWM recovery specific to any particular version of Android, current one available for XT926 on clockworkmod.com download page is 6.0.4.4. Similarly, does SU need to be specific to this phone/KitKat rom?
I've rooted numerous phones before, always using a script like Razr Hd utility. This is my first attempt at manual root so I appreciate your patience

Then you cannot use CWM and there is no safe strap for KK.
Also, root is now lost, but SamuriHL is working on a theory that might work. Unfortunately, it requires locked phones that have NOT taken the soak or OTA yet and we have to wait for the official KK FXZ image file before he can continue. If the phone has had the OTA or soak applied to it, then it can't be part of the test.

you know what, color me stupid.
I've been helping so many people that when I read "no root", I interpreted it as "locked bootloader".
My bad.

Lollipop and root....

I'm S - offed through sunshine (gotta love them guys) and had temp root with stock recovery, I assumed the lollipop update would fail but late last night it updated and I lost root. Any idea how to root again?
Well u have s off so flash twrp then flash su

The issue is I don't have access to my personal computer for the weekend. Any other way to flash twrp? Flashify says I need root so it won't do it. Twrp manager I'm leery of because I heard the partition it puts it in is wrong thereby bricking the phone.
Unfortunately I don't believe Jcase has Sunshine working for lollipop yet... But that doesn't mean all is lost, just means you have to go a different means and you need to know how to use adb commands. Follow this address below and you will have a custom recovery and then you can install whatever custom rom or a pre-rooted LP OTA if that's all you want.

Scroll down and follow the instructions under either.... 'Download - ADB / Terminal method:' or 'Download - Fastboot Method:'
You might be able to try to install the Goo Manager app from the play store to do the recovery install for you. Just not sure if that works without having root. TMWN says it just needs s-off so you may be good. Wouldn't need a computer either for that method. Just make sure you get your download of whatever rom saved on your phone before you wipe your current rom.

Download this and move it to your ext-sd card (not in any folder) using htc file manager. Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip

Then reboot to bootloader and allow it to flash. This will give you back the latest TWRP. Boot back up and delete that zip off your sd card. IF you don't delete or rename it you won't be able to get to recovery via bootloader (it will keep trying to load that zip).
Then download this (doesn't matter to where-just remember where).

REboot to TWRP manually and flash it. Bam... done.....
It's not flashing - hopefully the rename is OP6 and not zeroP6. When I go to recovery then bootloader nothing happens and if I apply from SD card from recovery it says "no package selected and access denied", I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what.

zero P it is...
Last question.... I hope, I can't get to twrp recovery. It just takes me to stock recovery with no option to get to a custom recovery.

Did you flash this in bootloader?
I power phone off, hold volume down and hit power. Usually at this point I have recovery, bootloader, etc, now I have no options just shows the zip running and a question to update or not.... Either option goes to not updating.
Ok - apparently sometimes I'm a little slow..... All worked incredibly well once user error was taken out of the equation. Thanks Mr. Dottat, you're truly an asset to this forum!!

Missed the part about deleting eh? Lol.
Glad you got it sorted.
When it came to update or not to update, I assumed I had to use the volume rocker then hit the power button to invoke the action. I was trying to go volume down to get to update when in reality volume down was the action needed to deny the update!! ?
