FIRMWARE UPDATE PDA:MC2 / CSC:MC2 (XAR) 4/11/2013 What is this? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As stated above I just received an update to my 8013 which was already running 4.1.2. Does anyone know what this is? Once updating I lost root and have yet to find a way to re-root. The method i was trying previously fails each time. this way : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv8440QhHsw
Anyone know what this update is/does and how to re root once updated? Thanks

My note downloaded this overnight and I installed it today. I suspect these may be more minor security tweeks. Lookout reported that 3 apps (screensaver and two others, not individually identified) were updated and were safe. I've not noticed any significant changes.

Were you able to obtain root? And if so how?

Sorry, I'm not rooted. Were you using the one-click method?

I am rooted. I used mobile odin pro to install firmware. I set it to inject root, mobile odin, su. Cannot see differences yet, but still rooted.

Being that I already installed update and lost root, what other options are there to root?
I used this method to CF ROOT. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957002

You just root the same way you did previously. It should work fine.

Is there anyway to update and keep root? Has anyone tried this update with mobile odin pro's "ever-root" feature? I would prefer not have to use the original method I used to root because it increases flash count and it's annoying to have to go through the process of removing the count.
Or could someone upload an odexed completely stock version?

as for your triangle count, thats easy. Just use TRIANGLE AWAY from the play store...

I had already read the first post but it didn't say anything about having tried to use mobile odin to update and keep root which is why I posted my question. Plus as I mentioned I would prefer not to have to go through the whole triangle away process. I always wind up having to flash a new firmware and do a complete restore in order to remove the 1 binary count even after using triangle away. That's a short explanation of the whole process I always have to go through and it takes a long time.
If it was quick, I wouldn't be asking how to update and keep root.

#update
Tried CF ROOT again today... It worked! Now Rooted!

[Q] How to root after updating to 4.0.4 Official

I just did the update to Android 4.0.4 through Kies today. As I've determined I'm not a fan of Touchwhiz, I'd like to root my Skyrocket.
Does anyone know if the root process for 2.3.6 would also work for this version? If not, does anyone know where I could find how to root the device?
Search is your freind. LOL even thou it says for ics leak, it works on the factory stuff as well as GB 2.3.6

I rooted the stock ICS earlier today via this method, and can confirm that it works.
I used this method on UCLF5 and root explorer routinely has problems mounting system. Not sure why.
You need to make sure u have busybox installed. I know that works for me, for i used to have the same issues. It didnt matter if it was GB or ics. Iam sure others will disagree, but just telling how i fixed that problem on my phone.

I need a little help here, Noobie that I am.....I had rooted sr brought it back to stock and then upgraded it to ics 4.04 stock. Then rooted it again using the methods found in this thread. I got it to take after the third time and it show superuser in the apps section and I can open it. I downloaded pro copy of titanium pro and the free version but it tells me the phone is not rooted:crying: I and that I need to ensure I have busybox. I download that also and i still cannot get titanium to knowledge the root. Any suggestions would be most helpful. I would like to freeze some of the bloatware as I did when I had gingerbread 2.36 and had titanium running.
update: used the newest version of superuser and installed busybox installer and still no go. I downloaded root check and it says not rooted. guess when I get home tonight I will re-root again....

[Q] Will i loose root if i update to JB from root injected ICS?

KK..like i posted before, i rooted my note using the first method. Thats is i flash a root injected ics european stock rom because i just wanted root and didnt want my count to go up. Now i want to update to jellybean via OTA. Will i loose my root? if i loose my root it means i have to use cwm recovery method, i dont want that. and there is no root injected jellybean stock rom. so please can someone tell me how to go about it? thanks
If you're rooted you can't update OTA. Simplest thing would be to install the stock rom using PC Odin and reroot using Chainfire's Exynos Abuse or just flash the rom on Mobile and Odin with root injection.

how do I do that
I suppose 3 things.
1) Search. If that's your response you don't know enough about what the risks are. Just use google. The forum isn't here to do your work for you.
2) Read. A lot. For the same reason.
3) Try saying please.
I don't want to sound like an arse but all the information you need is right here and is easy to find. It's rude to expect it of others when you can't be bothered yourself.
The thread you should start with though is probably http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297

Rooting without disturbing flash counter

Ok.. I was seeing the sticky on how to root. The first method says that it allows you to root without changing the flas counter. But zedomax said he doesn't recommend it anymore. Is it safe to use? Im currently on 4.1.2.
Thanks.

[ROOT] Straight Talk: Samsung Galaxy Centura

It's been successfully rooted with POOT.
It has also been rooted via CWM by Area51 Here for CWM and then Here for Root! I did find some ROM development going on at Area51 as well here. Area51's CWM does not appear to play nice with any phone rooted with Poot however so it's best to install CWM from Area51 first and then use their root method.

The root method used at A51 is out-of-date, and can't be updated. Therefore, you'll continuously receive an update notification and won't be able to stop it.

Not True! All you have to do is just not install the update when it boots you into CWM. This will be fixed when they complete the ROM they're working on. I don't get update reminders after accepting the first one and just not installing it once in recovery mode at the install screen!

You might want to wait for Area51 to complete their first ROM for the phone. Currently it has an annoying update that keeps trying to install over the rooted stock OS that will break root if you install it. Of course you can just keep clicking on accept and then selecting NO when you get to the install update screen in CWM like I do, but it's an annoyance.

Is there any roms for the Samsung Galaxy Centura on StraightTalk that is Android version 4.1, 4.2 or above?
Not yet. Something that Samsung broke in the kernel is preventing the ROMs from booting up.

Did you rename the backup? If it has spaces, it will cause that error.

Geohot has found a vulnerability in the New ATT/VERIZON S5 and confirmed by users it works on our i337 ATT NC1 FIRMWARE ONLY. Check out his thread HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157

For this towelroot to work on the ATT S4 you need to be on NC1 firmware. It does not seem to work on MK2 or NB1.

Safestrap just requires root, and since it works on 4.4.2 bootloader and such already then the process is now just root and Safestrap to get 4.4.2 ROMs.

I couldn't get it to work on NB1, but upgraded to NC1 and it worked fine. Safestrap however, is not installing. I tried pushing it to /system/app & /priv/app and setting permissions. It says it installs, but system status says it's not installed.
So after this, what is the new method of odining to stock, root, and recovery? Odin flash nc1> towel > safe strap?
