Hi guys since today im a proud owner of a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 stock 4.1.2, but now comes the question, is it possible to Root it without flashing anything?
I only need root access to install a few apps, FolderMount, Titanium, Root explorer, etc.
I own too a Galaxy S2 that I rooted by the method of "rooting without flashing unsecure kernel" is it possible to apply the same method to the Note 10.1?
THANKS for any help given.

Welcome to the club. Take a look at all the sections for the tablet and make sure you read the stickies too.
Method #2 and youl be good to go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152
I had already read that stickie and if I have correctly read, Method 2 (and the others) involves Odin and flashing something and that is what I dont want.
Isnt there a way to root without flashing?

Let me ask you this, why no flashing? As far as I know it's either Odin or flash. You need to get a custom recovery on it in order to root.

Also with the s2 the recovery and kernel are in one. This is not.
Thanks for your help and time spent helping me, but I think I will pass the root on the Note, I thought there was a more easier/safe method like that on the S2.
Thanks

There was an Exynos exploit method but Samsung patched the security hole a few updates ago.
The method in the link that was posted does alter your flash count and that can be correct but you are the owner of the device and if you are not comfortable flashing you tablet I wouldn't.
I have flashed mine and tried a few rom's but I always ended up resetting my flash counter and going back to stock.
Folder mount works great and that was the reason I rooted in the first place but you can store your files on the ext drive and transfer them back and forth manually but I found with my fast wifi I'm better off re-downloading the data along with "Helium - App Sync and Backup" to backup and restore my data and you do not need root, only draw back is that you have to have a computer connection for backup and restore to work.
.
Yes, its just a matter of not feeling confortable, and there is also the risk of blocking the camera. (had a similar issue with 4.1.2 on S2 needed to downgrade to 4.0.4).
But it seeems to me a bit odd that to grant root access we need to flash the rom.
I don't think you read that right. You're not flashing a ROM, just a custom recovery through ODIN, then a root app. It's actually very simple. (Any simpler and I would be concerned about rogue app exploits)
Fyi: I'm also new to Samsung devices and bought my tablet this week. Rooted it this morning by following the stickies, but sticking with the stock ROM for now. I'm more than happy with the tablet so far.

There is no flashing a rom with method 2. You Odin the custom recovery then you have to flash the superuser into the system. You need superuser to get root and Odin is the easiest way.
Trust me we have all been in your shoes about being nervous, I've been doing this a long time and this method is really easy.
You can also use this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957002
It does require ODIN but as has been stated this is the norm. You are not replacing any kernels or flashing another rom, you are just adding the root components. Using this method also leaves stock recovery intact...
If you woory about flash counter then run triangleaway after to reset the flash counter and recoveries....
I found doing this, doing a factory reset from settings then reflashing the Stock rom using Mobile ODIN pro gave me a stock standard, but rooted, rom with all statuses "Official" and 0 flash count....
A lot of work I know but then worthwhile things generally require it...
Ok, I followed the Method 2 made everything like on video, after pressing Power+Volume Up, I entered on STOCK Recovery, not the CWM,even so, I apply the .zip and I get:
MANUAL MODE
--Appling Multi-CSC....
Applied the CSC-code:LUX
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
--Install /sdcard....
Finding update package....
Opening update package....
Verifying update package.....
E:FAILED TO VERIFY WHOLE-FILE SIGNATURE
E:FAILED TO VERIFY WHOLE-FILE SIGNATURE
E:signature verification failed
I also retryed and turned off auto-reboot in Odin before starting the process but I get the same thing, now what should I do?
Its not rootable?
Ok, Its finally rooted, What I had to do,
On Odin unthick auto-reboot, When Odin finished doing its thing, dont shutdown the Tablet but press Power+Volume Up and go directly to CWM recovery and there follow the rest of instructions.
Thanks to everybody that took time to help me, thats why I love this forum.
A BIG THANK YOU.

I see that I'm probably too late now to answer the OP.
But maybe others can be interested.
I find that the easiest way to root (without odin and without installing a custom recovery) is Framaroot.
It uses some Exynos exploits, and has been also recently updated by the developer to counteract Samsung's patches.
It may work or it may not work on some devices and with some of the more recent firmware.
In any case giving it a try doesn't cost anything. It's just an app.
If it works the app can also be used to temporarily remove the root.
For me it worked with Firmware N8000XXCLL3 and I know that it works with some more recent fw too.
Furthermore it doesn't change the counter and even the Devices Status remains "Official". Well, actually the devices status may change to "Custom" after few days with the tablet on, but it returns Official after a simple reboot.

Hi,
I tried doing the Oneclick root with my Epic that is running 2.1 Eclair. When I installed Titanium and busybox it said phone is rooted. BUT when I start the phone in Manual mode to install update it only has 4 options:
Reboot
Install update
Wipe data
Wipe Cache
When I scroll down and select Install update it starts the process and then says e.signature verification failed update aborted. Is there something I am not doing right? I tried to unroot and reroot the phone but still get the same thing.
When I try the Root process with Oneclick Software for Samsung Galaxy One Click root it says the phone will restart and to select reinstall packages but I do not have that option. It still has the options shown above.
I know when I did my Hero and Evo I could get root and install Roms with no problems.
Can someone help please.
From reading you just need to install clockwork and then install roms and stuff. The kernels include a root, so install clockwork and install the rom I have in my signature. It already includes a kernel so that helps by one less thing you have to do. The one in my signature I have had no issues at all.
I installed rom manager (which is clockwork, right?) and tried to install a rom that way but when it reboots it goes to the same screen and gives the same message.

How are you rebooting into recovery? It sounds like you're hitting the stock recovery. Shut the phone down entirely and hold Vol -, Camera, and power. Keep holding until after the Samsung logo goes away.
Does this bring you more options?
If you still get nothing, try this instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103
Nope.... Same options. I will read the link you provided.
Also, Busybox says that my phone is rooted then I click install and it says I do not have nand unlocked. Maybe this is the problem?

I might be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure getting nand-unlocked is a part of the rooting process. Perhaps the root didn't work entirely for you, I had a lot of problems using the 1 click root with my first epic because of timing, I had to open the batch file and replace the ping 127etc (the delays) with a pause command because the phone took too long to respond and the second half of the rooting process would fail. Try the link I posted, it worked out well on my first phone.
Thanks....So far I have removed the Oneclick root from it and now it says the phone is not rooted. My next step is to root again... Hope it works.
Worked great! Thank you!!!

Awesome, Glad to hear you're up and running, Now you get to do the fun stuff (roms!!!!)
Yup.... Already got my Rom of choice installed and happy... Did not take long at all.
So, I've got JB 4.1.2 and am rooted. No custom ROM. (I think I used Chainfire's method, but can't remember exactly. If anybody can tell me if there's a way to verify that, it would be helpful.)
I'd like to be able to get OTA updates and have read several threads about Triangle Away. Frankly, I don't really understand them, and they scare me.
So, my questions are:
1. Is Triangle Away a pretty safe thing to do? I've read about having to reset if something should happen. I don't really want to have to do that.
2. Once I run Triangle Away, is my device the way it was before I started? I keep reading about a factory reset and am not really sure what that entails.
I don't want to have to start over. I just want to keep it the way I have it and be able to install OTA updates.
Thanks in advance!

1. Yes it works pretty well for me
2. No - you're still rooted. Factory reset will make no difference.
If you're rooted then it's simple no OTA. You need to return to stock so a stock OTA can be applied.
Incidentally for my $500 device I can remember exactly what method I used to root it on every occasion that I have needed to.
1. Exynos Abuse - first root - maintained by Mobile Odin
2. Chainfire for 4.1.2 BTU
3. Chainfire for 4.1.2 XSG
---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------
Now that I think about it, I've probably done you a dis-service.
Did you even check what Triangle Away does?
It (requires root) resets the Binary flash counter so Samsung don't know you've flashed something you shouldn't have.
The things you shouldn't have flashed include
Chainfire AF
TWRP
CWM
etc
For any changes to Recovery - The Binary counter cannot be reset permanently. It will increases every time it detects a custom recovery
im thinking of rooting now as I'm not sure that Samsung are going to role out any more updates for the note 10.1 - its all quiet on that front (I have S3 to and it's quiet on that front to). So in reality it doesn't really matter about OTA (i guess). Ill make my mind up more once I have a question answered regarding root apps.

I don't understand your answer to number 2. No, it's not the same as it was before Triangle Away? It's still rooted? That is the way it was before Triangle Away.
I also don't understand this: "If you're rooted then it's simple no OTA."
What I want to know is: Will running Triangle Away on my rooted device (no custom ROM) allow me to install OTA updates (by resetting the counter), but leave my device otherwise unchanged?
from what I understood by researching this for myself (correct me if I'm wrong) , as long as you have root your device will be shown as 'custom' under device settings(even it you have no binary count ), So you won't be able to relieve OTA updates, the only way to receive OTA would be to format system , but then you would lose root, So having root AND OTA at the same time is not possible .
however,I think that apps like triangle away have a option that can hide root or something like that.I didn't read into this though
again, I'm new here as well So I'm not sure it what I said here is correct- its also a way to check if I understood

Triangle Away is used to reset the built in flash counter that Samsung can check to see if you flashed a custom recovery. Typically people flash a custom recovery as a first step in rooting their phone. So the flash counter is increased from 0, and they can tell that you're a naughty boy and have "abused" your phone - warrant void. Triangle away DOES NOT alter the fact that you then went on to root the phone. So your root status remains.
OTA updates check the status of the phone (custom), they don't check the flash counter. So Triangle Away has no effect at all on OTA updates since it doesn't effect root.
So if your phone is rooted then you CANNOT get OTA updates and TA will not help you. You have to NOT be rooted to get OTA.
To go further, you probably have to have never rooted on that particular ROM to receive OTA updates.
So - to be clear
1. If you want OTA - then use TA to clear flash counter and then use ODIN to flash the latest stock rom for your country - this will erase root and place stock recovery.
2. If you want root then just face the fact that you cannot have OTA
I just checked my flash counter - it's 1 because i have TWRP installed. I can reset it to 0 with TA, but it just goes back to 1 all the time that TWRP is there.
loribuono.... can you tell us what version or build rom you have?
Please correct me if I'm wrong guys.........
As loribuono is running a stock rooted rom they could reset flash count with Triangle Away.
Then use odin to install the latest rom for his device from http://samfirmware.com/
This should put them back to factory and my experience has been that no data will be lost.
Then run update to see if you truly have all the latest updates.
Then root again.
This should work correct??????
Oh..... remember to make a backup in TWRP or CWM before doing any of the above and you will be OK.

+1 on this.
If you are rooted and want to remain rooted, you do not want OTA updates. Download firmware from sammobile and install via mobileODIN. Set to inject root and MobileODIN.
This method keeps my note 10.1 stock, rooted, latest firmware.

Oh... It's that easy to upgrade the firmware with mobile odin. Thank you so much for the tips. I'm going to root the device and forget about OTA. I could just do with knowing a number of useful and key 'root apps' now too. I guess triangle away and mobile odin are essential.

My build version is JZO54K.N8013UEUCMA3
My counter is set to 5, because I had at one time put the German ROM on this thing. I went back to stock, updated to JB and then rooted. That's where I'm at.
I don't understand most of this stuff, like when someone says "set to inject root and MobileODIN." Set what? What is "inject root?" It's the terminology I don't get.
Not to mention the conflicting information... you can.. you can't. Still don't know if what I want is possible.

Since you are rooted, install triangleaway and run it... Presto, you now have 0 flash count...
After spending 2 days to figure out how I can get root on my newly purchased Galaxy Tab 4 7.0,
I finally got it to work through vRoot.
Here's a detailed instruction from ShinySide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-galaxy-tab-4-7-t230-t2835264
Now, where I had the problem wasn't what I did. Rather, it was the auto update that Samsung rolled out in August.
I tried doing through vRoot like, 50 times, and got the same result over and over.
Then I read ShinySide's post saying the August update interferes with vRoot so I had to flash my tablet with older firmware.
Lucky for me, ShinySide also has this available on this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778374
I did it with NE2, and BOOM. VRoot rooted my phone like a charm.
So, those of you who are having trouble with vRoot (probably seeing X mark instead of a check mark at the end)
check your firmware under About Phone.
If it says August, then you have to flash the device back to the older firmware.
That little detail made me go crazy for the past 2 days, so I thought I'd share that.
So, just remember two things:
1) Check your firmware!
2) DISCONNECT Internet as soon as you install vRoot and run it while you are NOT connected to avoid auto update.
And make sure to THANK ShinySide 'cause he made this possible!
Thank you for posting. I've been looking for root options for my T230NU and was skeptical about VRoot. I don't trust random apps that aren't even in English, you know?
Your post looks good so I may attempt to root as well. Please update if it turns out that VRoot is a bs virus.

Try TWRP or wait tilm CWM is avaible and flash root
Another guide
Here's a link to another guide for the SM-T230NU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/root-tab-4-sm-t230-t2984670
I'm fairly new to rooting and I haven't tried this.
Thanks all....I haven't tried it yet. My Note 4 is sufficing and working on a few PC builds so just haven't had the need for it lol. I'll try one tomorrow and see what works. +1
HELP!
I think I may have bricked my SM-T230NU
I googled how to root SM-T30NU and didn't realize google was showing me instructions for SM-T530NU when I actually was trying to root SM-T230NU
I followed this guide
(can't share links but if you google root SM-T30NU you should find it)
I get message I am in Odin Mode and my current Binary is custom system status official
It says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I tried both versions of Kies I found and it doesn't show up in recovery mode.
I am a total noob, please help if possible.
Have you gotten it fixed yet? If not go to the opening post and find the link to the NE2 firmware. Follow instructions there to flash to NE2. You should be fine.

I just got my hands on the sprint note edge (such an amazing device!) and i've been trying to root it with cf auto root but every time i flash with Odin, it fails with the progress bar on the phone only about halfway. Any suggestions? I'm on the latest firmware, nk1, which matches the version listed on the cf auto root site.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
HEY, YOU. YEAH YOU. READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST:
We figured out the solution quite a while back, but I know no one wants to read the entire thread, so here's a summary c/p'd from the end:
But to summarize, we've been able to get root by flashing CF auto root, letting it fail, then immediately flashing TWRP. To fix any issues encountered with xposed framework (stock sms not working, lagginess, installations taking forever, etc.), freeze with titanium/delete data for shealth, health services, and private mode, install securestorage module in xposed or use the equivalent option in Wanam, reboot, and unfreeze.

Now if you've tried this and you're still having issues, then post ahead. If you haven't tried this, or need help with specifics, read the thread. There's a post by me halfway through or so with 4 XDA links in it. If you want more info on the problem with xposed, check out those links.

You may check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
Its for a Tmobile version, but it looks like they may have had the same issue, but figured it out... I haven't tried it yet, but am REAL close to giving it a shot. It looks to me that flashing TWRP after the fail, may be the key to making it successful? I have the Sprint model too, but am still on NJL build.
Does TWRP fully support the note edge yet? Some of those steps (disabling screen timeout) make it seem otherwise. I'm usually hesitant to go for workarounds rather than actual fixes... :/ tell me if you do try it out though.

I'm not sure about TWRP, but was going to try the Note 4 version. I updated to NK1 now, so may give it a whirl... Nah - You go first, lol. I'll post if I decide to go through with it.:good:

to clarify, is that the SPRINT note 4 cf auto root files you're referring to?
Just checked. Sprint Note 4 cf auto root is for NIE. Is this even safe to try on the Edge?

That's what I was told.. Sprint note 4 auto root...
I would wait up if you feel uneasy about it.. lol
at least until they have a edge auto root. I may try the note 4 sometime next week when the screen protector comes in..

There is an edge auto root. It just happens to be failing at the moment (for sprint anyways). There are workarounds for the T-Mobile auto root (which is also failing) but we're all too chicken here to try it on our new shiney Note Edges . . . Lol

I attempted the ODIN flash with the proper CF that states that it is for the Sprint Edge... and now have a soft (I hope) bricked phone. The message I have on the screen right now is:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

Nope. That's what we all tried and it failed for us too. We're trying to figure out a fix or alternative to this. Anyways, to fix your device, take the .tar.md5 file found inside the CF auto root directory and open it with an archiver like 7zip. Extract the recovery.img to somewhere and run this tool on it. Then open up the odin included in CF auto root and choose the recovery.tar.md5 you created rather than the usual file. Flash in download mode and you're good to go.

Man, this is happening fast... I just got it done successfuly rooting my Sprint Edge. Don't freak, follow the instructions on this thread which works on Tmobile devices. I didn't install the SD card fix file yet, but may if I need it. You are basically starting at the FAIL point of that thread. Although you need the SU file on your phone, which you may be able to get it by putting it on a Microsd and accessing it from recovery that way. Good Luck, and don't panic, lol.

I actually downloaded the Chainfire file yesterday for the SM N915P, but was still too chicken to try it. After I saw this thread today, I decided to go for it. All I basically did was follow the instructions in TEKHD 's thread for the SM915T.
-Dowloaded Chainfire's Sprint AutoRoot file, Unzipped it.
-Put phone in download mode, selcted the Chainfire's Sprint AutoRoot tar file and hit Start.
-ODIN flashed "FAIL".
-I then flashed a 2.8.0.0 TWRP file for the Note 4, which ODIN said was successful, but it would not boot into recovery (so don't do that).
-I flashed the 2.8.1.1 Tmobile TWRP file from TEKHD's thread, ODIN said success.
-Booted into recovery, adjusted settings for brightness in TWRP, (TWRP was acting really flaky, but I pressed on) I couldn't find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip file in recovery, (I put the file on my removable SD card) so I rebooted recovery, and this time was able to find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip, and flashed it.
-Wiped cache/ Dalvik Cache. Hit Reboot-> System, TWRP said it didn't appear to have root, do I want to root? Hit yes, go , whatever, it rebooted, let settle for a few minutes, and ROOT was born!
Hope that helps and I didn't miss something, but thats how it went down for me.
To sum it up, Follow TEKHD's Tmobile thread, with the exception of the Tmobile Chainfire file, (use the Sprint one obviously) I also did not flash the SD card fix from that thread.
Let me know if you have questions, but I will have to bug out for a while here until this evening...
Good Luck everyone!

No need to flash the SD card fix. there's apps on the play store that will patch the necessary files for that (and you can delete the app afterwards). Interesting that the TMO twrp worked . . . Someone should try that with the SPRINT twrp 2.8.1.1 found here.
Edit: I tried repeatedly to flash both 2.8.1.1 and 2.8.1.0 versions of the SPRINT NOTE 4 twrp and odin consistently crashed on "File analysis".
Edit: I took the plunge and went with the tmobile method. Nothing went wrong. Everything seems to be working fine. The TMO Note 4 recovery is annoying though (two strips of white on both sides of the screen). I didn't have any issues with how it ran like Next1776 did though.
Edit: I'm experiencing some odd issues. The primary one is that anything I install through xposed or f-droid takes FOREVER to install. Anyone else getting this?

BUt just to confirm, jooniloh.... you do have confirmable root? Guess my clue should be that you are using xposed.... but just wanted to confirm before I went down the rabbit hole....

Awesome. Glad you are able to join the party!
I'm not having any issues right now. I have installed Xposed and Wanam without any issues so far. I did disable Knox and Secure storage with Wanam (under security hacks) as another poster suggested. Maybe also try wiping Cache and dalvik in recovery ? Hopefully we will have a stable custom recovery available soon. I say stable, but I guess this one is "stable" - its just not real pretty...

Unable to root my Edge
I am a little baffled.... I have been rooting my phones for more than 10 years, and usually the auto-root files work fine. However this time it seems, that my phone seems to be smarter then I am.
I have been trying to root, my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Edge for more than a month. I started by downloading the correct file from ChainFire, however after my first attempt to root the phone was unsuccessful, and I was left at a screen saying a "firmware update had failed." Leaving the phone dead. I was fortunately able to pull down a a copy of the NK1 firmware and restore my phone to a usable state, but i have not been able to find a solution to rooting the phone.
I have seen one thread that suggested using the SM-N915T file, but that failed as well, requiring me to re-apply the original firmware. So I was looking for any suggestions that someone might have.
follow instructions to the period. I have rooted all of my Edges without issue.

So I just wanted to confirm the process. I am already at NK1 so I assume I would start at step 2, but the file that downloads does not appear to be a typical tar file that one would upload via ODIN and download mode. What steps do I take to flash it? Is this one that I need to copy to the sd card and then apply by going into recovery mode, and use the apply update from SD card option?
Grumbles
So..
I tried going ahead and placing the zip file on my sd-card, and applying the update via recovery mode, and selecting "apply update via the External storage. " Not only did that fail to result in obtaining root access, but now if I go back into recovery mode, I get a message that updates via ADB and external storage are disabled. I can reapply the original firmware and restore access, but that still leaves me at square 1
I have successfully rooted my sprint N915P from a member on here. Followed directions to the T. Now i can't find the original poster to thank him. He's a god.
