1. Download the zip from here (bottom of page) and put it somewhere on your SD card.
2. Go to ODIN, click PDA and select the CWM file (here if you don't have it). Make sure you are in PDA, and make sure Bootloader, Phone, and CSC are unchecked. On the left, uncheck auto reboot and F. Reset Time
3. Power off your phone completely and wait about 30 seconds (or pop your battery out and put it back in).
4. While holding volume DOWN on your phone, plug it into your computer. Your phone should be in download mode with a big yellow triangle on the screen. ODIN should recognize your phone and something should show up in one of those ID:COM boxes at the top.
5. Click Start in ODIN.
6. Once ODIN says Pass!, unplug the phone. Hold volume UP, home, and power. the SAMSUNG logo will show up on the screen. Keep holding the buttons. The screen will flicker and SAMSUNG will show up again. Now you can let go of all 3 buttons and CWM will show up.
7. In CWM, go to mounts and storage and mount /system. Go back and then install zip from sd card. Install that zip that you downloaded in step 1. Reboot your phone
8. Go through setup and download Titanium Backup and Root Explorer (or Root Browser if you don't want to pay for it).
9. In Root Explorer/Browser, navigate to /system/etc/. You will have to mount the directory as R/W. I forgot how to do this in Root Browser but in Root Explorer it is at the top of the screen. In Root Browser it might be in settings.
10. Find install-recovery.sh in that directory. Long press it and delete it.
11. Repeat steps 2-5. You can leave auto reboot checked this time, or just manually reboot the phone when ODIN says Pass!
12. In Titanium backup, you can uninstall anything, but be careful.

After Root/Tweaked Rom and Lazarus Kernel Install
Need some assistance
I will try to remember all the steps I took to get the best response.
ODIN - Charge (CWM) Recovery MD5 Installed
UPDATE - SuperSU-v1.25 - Installed in CWM Recovery
Installed Tweaked 3.2 and Charge Lazarus Kernel FP5E Version in CWM Recovery
After root and reboot, Tweaked 3.2 and Lazarus Kernel up and running.
Problems I am trying to resolve:
Super User has some kind of issue with the Bianary, tried running titanium backup to try and fix SU but it didnt open. asked for SU access but the app wouldnt open.
My Files Folder is nowhere to be found
The last issue is after Tweaked was running a verizon update beamed down and after the update downloaded it of course couldnt install on Tweaked Rom. So now there is a update notification hanging around from time to time. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
1. Open the SuperSU app, it should give you a prompt to update binary.
2. My files has been removed as a part of debloat on Tweaked. You can use any file manger you want-most of us recommend Root Explorer.
3. Check "FP5 - FP8 Update Stopper" in the general section.

Hi there, I am hoping you can help point me in the right direction. I am tried running the instructions above, and after applying the CWM package using Odin, I unplugged the phone and held down the Up Vol, Home, and power. I waited until the second Samsung splash screen flashed before letting go. It loads to CWM, but after it does a wipe cache, etc the phone reboots. It then just loads into the phone OS as though it is new. Can you advise on what I am missing?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the response. I am a bit confused as step 6 in the instructions I used above states to wait until the logo appears the second time before releasing the buttons unless if I am misunderstanding. Should I release them as soon as I see it for the first one?

For some reason on the first SAMSUNG if you let it boot it will boot into the OS no matter what you do. As soon as it gets past the SAMSUNG screen it overwrites CWM. You have to hold it long enough so that it reboots while it is in the first SAMSUNG screen, so that it can properly boot to CWM, where you root the phone so that you can delete the overwriting script. It is a pretty annoying cycle.

Hold all three and wait for the second logo. It will look like it is just blinking off and then back on. Then you can let go of all three buttons.

Not sure what you did...not saying you did something wrong but 15min, that is a long time to do the one click method, below are how i perform using qkster's method...is it working your phone good now?
The USB + Volume Down + Volume Up Method: Download mode (Noticeable by an Android robot digging with a shovel) is reached by taking everything out (Battery, SIM, MicroSD). plug in the USB cable to your computer and phone then putting in battery at the same time Holding the volume buttons both up and down, (Don't press the power button at all in this method).
How to INSTALL:
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.
download this file for your one click to stock...and using above directions...
once that is done and you want to put CWM mod on for flashing a custom ROM, same directions to get in to download mod...

I believe Rom Toolbox isn't good for much, if anything. I'm not sure why changing or downloading themes in this app could cause you to bootloop, but if it has you need to run a 'return to stock' 2.3.5 script by booting into AP Fastboot or use RSD Lite. OTA update to 2.3.6, re-root, and you should be good.
Everything you need to know is found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650
Also, going forward, ALWAYS make a CWM Backup before doing anything, like flashing roms or experimenting with root apps.

There is no reason why the aforementioned suggestion shouldn't have worked. Couple things to keep in mind:
Do you have a fully charged battery when doing all this?
Do you have the Motorola USB drivers installed?
Did you DL the proper fxz for your phone?
Make sure you boot into fast boot by holding up on the volume rocker, and then holding the power button down.
Attach your USB cable to the BACK of your com, and follow the instructions listed out in the link in the post above.
Follow them exactly!

Before using the restore script you need to install the USB drivers for your MB865 (If this your model A2), you can get those from HERE:
Next, unzip the Return to Stock 2.3.5 Fastboot SCRIPT.zip to anywhere you like in your pc (example: C:\RestoreScript\ ) The script can be downloaded HERE:
Then, connect your phone with the USB cable to the PC and get into FastBoot mode for this in your phone by pressing and holding down the volume down & volume up & power at the same time. It should appear with a screen and some options; use the volume down key of your phone to navigate through the menu until you see the AP FastBoot option, then enter by pressing the volume up key, this will show you some messages and the finally it should said USB connected.
Then open the folder where you extracted the Return to Stock 2.3.5 FastBoot SCRIPT files and search a .bat file call "Stock Restore" - should be toward the bottom of the files in this folder. Then run the file (double click on it) and it should open a command prompt screen with some instructions if the phone is connected correctly and you installed the drivers correctly then in some point the screen will show you the ID of your device and it will wait you to press the enter key to start the process. Press any key to enter and wait for the process to begin to program. Then, after some time the command prompt window will give you a message saying its finished. After that, it will reboot your phone and install the stock 2.3.5. When it boots up again, you should see the android logo and a progress bar filling up.
When it's done wait for the device to reboot again, and after that you can OTA (Over-The-Air) update to Android version 2.3.6. by navigating in your device to Settings/About Phone/System Updates.
Hope this helps.

Also, install CWM on boot!
This way your phone ALWAYS boots into recovery on initial start up. Saved me too many times to count.

i would like to know exactly what rooting is and what to do i have no idea what rooting is my guess is that its like flashing a psps firmware and that theres a ton of different rooting let's say files
i would like to root my galaxy note 10.1 the cleanest way possible meaning i JUST want superuser permission for screencast to work properly i don't want any custom roms or anything changed past what i need
so now to my question can anyone help me with this and tell me the best cleanest way to root assuming theres different kind of rooting some which are bloated some which are clean
as mentiond i just need superuser permision for screencast nothing else so i would like a guide on how to do this

First off this belongs in the Q&A section and the search button on this site and google work wonders. With that said, rooting gives you the ability to right/alter the system files. See zedomaxs site for instructions on how to root. http://rootgalaxynote.com/. Use the clockworkmod method. Make sure you use the files for your particular model and software. Good luck and happy rooting.

i could not post the video link due to a spam protection thing
however there are a few questions regarding this
should you instantly move over the files as it is downloading or should you wait untill it is finished?
as in the video he entered the warning unsupported os screen through power plus vol button then it proceeded to something downloading but he then instantly wen't in your pc to move over the files
should you wait for it to finish downloading or whatever it's doing or can you start right away? and what would waiting for it to finish mean how would you know it's finished? what will it show when it's finished
my other question is some say you need to uncheck the auto reboot checkmark as it will otherwise erase it on reboot
so when i open odin should i simply uncheck auto reboot then add the file then press start wait for it to finish
then what? since it won't auto reboot

Wait till the files are done downloading. If your using the clockworkmod method first to make things simple make sure you already have the superuser zip on your sdcard or internal sdcard then flash the cwm recovery through Odin. Yes make sure you uncheck auto reboot because it will automatically reflash stock recovery upon booting up. You will know recovery is done flashing through Odin when you see in green "pass" then you can unplug and boot into recovery right from the download mode. Don't boot into system yet because as stated earlier your kernel will rewrite recovery upon booting into system. Then when you are in recovery choose flash zip from sdcard and find the superuser zip and flash it. It will tell you when its done, you should see zip flashed successful. Then reboot into system. Oh touch screen is a little finicky when you are in recovery so use volume buttons to navigate and power to select

so 1 copy over the file to the tablet either sd card or the tablet itself?
then press the vol down button plus power button to get the warning screen then press vol up to accept
then comes my question can i let it work untill it's finished or should i move instantly to my pc and start odin
so for example
(it's connected to the pc) and it starts downloading showing the do not turn off target i just wait untill it stops doing something then i go to my pc open odin see the yellow com sign uncheck auto reboot press pda select the tar file press start let it work then
then what happens next when it's finished will it just sit there doing nothing since it won't reboot by itself do i need to do this manually?
thankyou
Ok I see what your saying, once your past the warning screen its not actually doing anything. It's waiting for you to run odin
Once Odin is done flashing recovery and you see pass in green you can unplug your tablet and hold volume up and power and it will boot into recovery

6.disconnect the usb cable (simply disconnect no safe removal thing or anything)
7.hold vol up plus power
8.flash it through the recovery menu using the vol buttons as navigation keys

You got it, one note though if you reboot in system without going to cwm recovery first you will have to reflash recovery through Odin.

then it's done it will reboot in it's rooted state

Just remember to install triangleaway then run it after you have CWM installed... This will reset the flash counter to 0. It will confirm what model of tab you have and download a few files then you can reset your flash counter.
This is needed if you have to return your tab under warranty and also for usage with some apps and hardware...

This is the link for cf root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957002 the easiest and cleanest root method + it flashes back samsungs stock recovery and it contains link for triangle away
Sent from my X10S using xda app-developers app
Hoss is right, Cf auto root is an easier and faster method and it will save you some work when the jelly bean update is rolled out. You will be able to just accept the OTA update, but you may have to reroot once the process is done. As you can see is not that big of a deal to do anyway. Chainfire gives a good guide to follow for his autoroot. And as also stated above consider using triangle away so you can keep your warranty completely intact.

Well are you making sure you unchecked reboot system and pulling the battery after your recovery flashes so you can manually boot into recovery.

Pull the battery then put it back in. Press and hold Volume up key, home key then power button. Hold them for a second or 2 after you feel the vibration. Should boot right into recovery.
Did you also install superuser as the guide suggested?
Deleted
I see a lot of people having this issue, once you feel the vibrate release the power button but keep holding the volume up and home button. Or you can just install rom manager from the play store and use that to reboot to recovery (there is a option in it).

I did make sure to uncheck the reboot system, pulled the battery and pushed the vol up + power + home. but it just reboots right after that. Btw, thanks for taking time to read my post. I think maybe i flashed the twrp recovery in the wrong section of odin. is it supposed to be on the section that says PDA? or Boot loader?

After some tinkering and what not. I just re flashed the clockwork mod recovery and it worked. i used this on my s1 and it serves it's purpose, although i really wanted to try twrp. i think at this point, i'll just leave it alone till i become a bit more knowledgeable and then i'll take it from there. thanks for your help everyone! I truly appreciate your time.
WOOO HOOO SUPER USER AWAY!
I updated the phones ROM and rooted it perfectly. In the process of the newest rom update, while in Clockword recovery mode - wipe data was accidentally selected, in the middle of the data wipe I tried to save the phone by removing battery. Now its stuck in bootloop, Recovery mode doesn't even come up, but I succeeded in getting the phone into Download Mode, but it has the Triangle up with CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES(2 COUNTS) and CURRENT BINARY :CUSTOM. I have used Odin to try to install the Stock Att version, still no luck. as of now the phone is bricked, and can only get it into download mode. Can somebody please help? Ill die if I can't fix this phone, and Just so you know, I don't have a USB jig to delete the custom binary files. Is that the only way I can get the phone to actually turn on and function? Help plz Im freakin here...

Thank you so much, my phone is working now. I just have to find a way to reset the binary download count(get rid of the yellow triangle) without purchasing a USB jig. Any suggestions? Im trying to update firmware to ICS and then Jelly bean. I tried flashing it to a newer version(ics), but then the phone goes back into bootloop (i think bc of flashing it to ics, then jelly bean, and then back to a rooted stock verison), so I have to keep using the rooted stock firmware. Any suggestions? Thank you btw

Getting to download mode is all the USB jig does. U can get it with out one. I believe if u hold down volume and plug in cable. Its something like that I forget. And a return to stock using heimdall or Odin should fix anything

im having troubles too!!
i have a similar problem myself. I rooted my infuse it has cwm9 and ics. but for some reason the phone cuts off and starts boot looping. i cant get it in download mode or recovery. took the battery out put it back in and its starts doing it without touching the power button. ive beat and banged on it still nothing but the loop. this is the longest it has done it, usually it would quit after a few minutes but its going on 24 hours now. any help would be awesome!!!
Try holding the volume up and the volume down (but not the power button) with the USB plug already in the phone and hooked up to the computer and then insert the battery. If you don't get into download then you either need a jig or have a power button problem.

Can get into download mode,
I am able to get into download mode, Ive flashed the OS a number of times back to stalk, then tried ICS, and jelly bean, and I still get the same error message I got at the beginning of this post. But I was able to reset the Binary counter, if I could get my phone to work again I would literally pay somebody to help me....I know it is possible to get it back up and running, it's just a complicated process it seems. Help please!
Chainfire had a program called Triangle Away. Do a search but be careful, it might not work with Infuse and you could get a real brick.

i have bricked my infuse many times, and xda members always have been helpful to me
i am now that the point of believing that my infuse is un-brick-able, so I am writing down my instruction as a noob for you
A/ Preparation in your computer:
1. Install/Update Java (http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp) and Get the driver for the Samsung ready (download and install Kies software at http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I997ZKAATT)
2. download Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381 (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
3. Download SGH_I997 Entropy 4_4_2012-One-Click-Heimdall.jar (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
4. Download: CM-9-20120620 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601844
5. Download: CWM-community-kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119598
6. Download a rom and gapps ( i use the AvatarROM and Gapps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174227)
*connect your phone to the computer and copy and paste the 4, 5, 6 items into your sd card
* i am not so sure where you are at, but maybe you don't need flash the cm-9
what you need to do:
a. pull out the battery, put it back on, holding down both the volume buttons while plug in the use cord, the other end of the usb already plug in the computer, that would put you to the download mode
b. by now your computer would be noticing the phone is connected, you then click the Heimdall at 2 above to turn it on (read that thread so you can know what to expect) if you have the drive and the phone is really connected, then, you can click "flash" and the Heimdall will do it job - don't do anything the phone will be rebooting itself back to stock (in the thread, the dev. said you might need to flash two times, but in my case, I only did once and it worked right away)
c. be happy with result for a while, then you put the phone back to download mode and flash the Entropy Heimdall at 3 above, your phone will get the red recovery if things go the way it should
d. then you wipe everything (maybe no need but whatever... after bricking your phone, it doesn't hurt to spend a min. to do this), 2 wipes at the main red recovery and then go to advance and wipe advik catch and battery state .. i would do every wipe 2 times ... and also select the "fix permissions" in there too
e. then you flash the cwm community kernel at (5) assuming that you already put it in the sd card of your phone (if not, then you choose the option from the the red recovery "connect as usb drive, your computer wil read the phone and allow you to copy and paste - i must say here that I tried this step a few times in order to make it work, i even reboot my computer)
then you flash the ROM and Gapps that you want to (assuming that you already put them in the sd card of the phone)
if jellybean didn't go through then maybe you should try the cm-9 first ...
be patient, very patient if things to the way it should, your phone will reboot a few times and recovery will change its color ... and you will get to the ROM you want
while you are waiting for those reboots, take time to read at least the first 3 pages of the threads that I put the links above to learn about the problems and what to expect
don't panic very much it will led to bad decision
your phone will be fine as XDA dev. have spent a great deal of time, energy, thoughts on the infuse
once again, hope you understand my noob instruction and esl writing
you phone will be working again
Thanks but I didn't needed these. I may not be a pro but definitely not a noob. I was only responding to the previous comment.
