Hey,
I'm new to all this and am pretty amazed by the amount of knowledge and techniques applied by all the whizz kids on this forum. Anyway, I am receiving my first android tomorrow (Samsung galaxy S i9000) and I have a few questions to ask after being utterly confused all day about what each term means and what is best for me to do...
1) I have downloaded the 'super one click' rooting device where I use my PC in order to root the device. However, I also notice that this is designed for multiple android products and the alternative is to use the device specific methods. Is there any difference?
2) If I have rooted the device, do I need to then flash the device? I mean, is there any advantage to this?
3) If I flash the device or root it I understand that my warranty is void. Is there a way to back up my original files so if i have to return my phone i can reverse the rooting so it contains the original orange network settings?
4) I have downloaded the one click lag fix as recommended. It is sat on my desktop. Do I simply transfer it onto my phone using kies and then install?
5) By rooting/flashing I am assuming that I will loose my future network (orange) updates such as gingerbread 2.3 (assuming that they release it for the samsung galaxy s i9000). Is there any other way I can update in the future without my network or would I need to reinstall their original firmware and settings and go through the process of flashing/rooting again?
I know this is a lot to ask but Im super confused after a day of exhausting reading and attempting to understand whats what. I would really appreciate the help of some whizz kids here! Man I feel old!
Thanks so much
Cheb
Hi there,
I am a new user to an Android Device (Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000); before that I always had a Windows Mobile phone, and I must say now that I am very content with my new device and it's new software. Android works really smooth!
Also, I learned that there is a lot of software to be used on an Android Device, but then your device needs to be rooted first. Now, this is what I would very much like to know...
Is rooting my device a safe procedure?
After rooting my device, am I still able then (if so wished) to restore it back to it's factory settings?
Are there any risks involved?
What about my warranty?
Why should I, or should I NOT, start rooting my device?
What rooting procedure should you suggest to me?
In a way, I am very eager to start rooting my device, but on the other hand I find it a bit scary...
Could you please help me out here?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you!

1. Safe if you know what you're doing.
2. Yes you can revert back to stock
3. You can soft/hard brick your phone if you aren't careful
4. Warranty will be void
4. You should root your phone since you can put custom roms on it, wifi hotspot, debloat your phone. Shouldn't root listed above.
5. follow the link below in order to root.

Thank you for your reply. It all "looks" very easy, although I have a few questions left...
Regarding:
1. "Safe if you know what you're doing." - Do you mean by that: just follow the steps?
3. "You can soft/hard brick your phone if you aren't careful." - What IS a "soft/hard brick" of your phone. In what way then, should I be careful?
Maybe it is NOT fair of me to ask you, also, it seems to me that you are very familiar with it, but would you recommend a novice like me (in this case) to root his new phone, less then a month old, considering the "risks", if there are any, in view of the possible advantages I might find with a rooted phone?
Robert,

Well I'm sure most of the case, people end up soft or hard bricking their phone because they havent read the directions over and over again and get a little too ambitious. Soft bricking is recoverable but when you flash an incorrect rom or kernel, basically keeps boot looping I think. But you can still get into fastboot or recovery. Hard brick is when your phone won't turn on after messing around with the bootloader or something. Sorry, I can't really explain the technical stuff myself as I'm still learning. I'm familiar with rooting and flashing roms on several phones but I don't know if I would say I'm "very familiar" with it. If you're going to be rooting phones often, then I would suggest you learn the steps involved but I mean if this is gonna be the only phone you root and you're not confident in yourself, then I would suggest either a) get it done by someone who knows what they are doing, b) buy one thats already rooted.
OK, thank you for your honest reply. I'll surely take this into consideration. For now, I think, I'll keep my phone the way it is right now - it's doing just fine...
Still, if anyone, with maybe more experience in rooting phones, would like to reply to this thread, I would not mind at all.
Thank you!

hi everyone..
i m new to dis forum..
i own galaxy note with updated firmware(gingerbread 2.3.6ddlb2)..
i want to know how can i root it with super one click..
and what is the process to unroot it as well..
please reply...
read the following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
I was looking for a definite answer as well, as to whether it is safe or not and if so which method, not looking to read several reams of posts that mean little to me. I have read that Samsung chips are defective and rooting the two offered methods on this site are dangerous. So no developments in the past 3-4 months? If so I would have expected a split thread for this from the other ones...either way. Have no time to read filler on forums from end users.
I've rooted phones before all without any issues and always find having to read through forums posts are fruitless endeavors, easier to just do it. But this phone is someone else's and I need to ensure I HAVE A LITTLE MORE RESPONSIBILITY HERE.
I only want to root their phone and nothing more, so they can take control of their security.

CAPTCHA codes suck!
What is with Capthca codes?
Just to let people know I have tried to root using one click method and it failed! No harm to phone but ineffective. The one posted at addictivetips. I never have had a one click method for for me to date, in all years at rooting phones. So anyone that can verify for me a method that does work, I will be grateful. A step by step guide, do not care how many steps or how much I have to type in! Just something that works without fail.
TY :angel:
Hates Captcha codes...use a different method.

Rooting Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with KK7
Hello Guys,
I'm not knew to root. Did it twice but that was on Galaxy S3's. The Note is not as easy.
The 3rd Droid needs to be rooted, because the carrier has no upgrade from GB 2.3.6!
Also, this Note is SIM locked, can I root with it? I do not find an online site to unlock my Carrier. Tried them all.
I searched all over this site for days but do not find a CF-Root for this kernel, KK7
Hope you can point me in the correct direction.
Here is all the info from my phone:
PDA: N7000UBKK7
PHONE: N7000WEKK1
CSC: N7000UWEKK1
Thanks, you guys are doing a great job!
Hey guy I recently got a Galaxy Note 10.1, the Wi-Fi only version (N8010 I think?). I really want to get Jelly Bean on it as soon as possible. I know there are a ton of ROMS out there for the Wi-Fi/3G version and most people who have flashed those onto the Wi-Fi only version have been successful. I just had a few questions for you guys as I'm still a noob at this.
1. Do I have to root my tablet to be able to flash a ROM on it?
2. Is there a chance of bricking the tablet? Is there any danger involved?
3. Will I still get OTA updates when they become available?
4. Anyone have instructions on how to flash Jelly Bean onto it?
5. Where could I find ROMS that will work with my tablet?
Thank you guys for taking the time to answer. If any of you have any experience with the Wi-Fi only version let me know. Also I live in the US if that is of any importance.
The U.S. version of wifi only is the 8013. It is what I have. There is always a risk involved with everything you do, even breathing. Every breath you take you take the risk it is not poision and feel the benefits of not suficating our weigh the risk of being poisoned.
For flashing the roms on here you need a custom recovery, like cwm. There are guides on this in the development area. Darkman-rs has some very good stuff out. I have some stuff for the 8013 as well. Check out everything, get a good feel, make a backup of your stuff, like apps, nand backups, copy your internal memory to something else, whatever else you feel like doing. One day when you have nothing going on, sit around and play with things, talk to the google machine about stuff. I have done a lot to this tablet, nothing I couldnt recover from. Always have a backup on your external sd card just in case, like an extra sd card in case you wipe the one in your tablet
Oh, and have fun!
Also, the thread for the roms should have the info on installing.
i am using @smaw51 jb uk release custom gt 8013 version and its very smooth rom really love it and there is a thread on how to add more apps to the multiwindow launcher which makes this tablet even more amazing
follow the guides on how to root and install cwm recovery and then start flashing and enjoy this beast tablet ...lol
I have recently rooted my 8010 using "method 2" do you have to unlock the bootloader too before you can use a new kernel (I know there isn't any for my model yet) . I just haven't seen much mention of bootloader unlocking
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Can you go to Settings > About device and see what your build number ends in? If it's LG4 then you will be getting Jelly Bean through Kies within a week.
Hey guys, thank you for all of the useful information. I honestly can't go into my settings right now because I don't have it yet. I bought it but am only getting it this weekend for my birthday. Then I'll be able to give you information about my device. What is the LG version?
Yes
Yes
Most likely not

CWM is super easy to install and obtain root (this was my first time using ODIN for anything). Simply follow the directions here (especially the part about turning Auto Reboot off): http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...t-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/
As for installing JB, I've got the 8010 version and I had no problem installing the older German version found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909950&page=9 along with the build prop fix here (which eliminates the random reboot issues): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909950&page=9
And once all that is done, don't forget to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985240 for all your Multi-Window app goodness!!
Thank you for those links Rickroller! They are extremely helpful!
Anytime!
Was anyone able to use chainfire3D on JB?
I am thinking of rooting my note 10.1 (GT-N8010). I understand how to root it, since I have read through a few threads about that, but my question is about when, or IF, I'd want to return the software to stock. I have never done this before, so I need practically all help and tips regarding reversing the rooting.
1. What must I do BEFORE rooting the tablet?
2. After I have rooted it and installed a rom, How do I unroot the tablet and install stock android?
Again, I need all tips and please don't use abbreviations. Thank you

If you make a nandroid backup right after you install your custom recovery going back to stock is as easy as flashing the nandriod any time you want to go back.Alternatively,you could download the stock rom from http://www.sammobile.com and flash the md5 file in odin to get back to stock.Read up on this stuff in the 10.1 general and development forum threads because there is way too much information to type it all in this post.You will find everything you need to know in these threads including walk through videos.
After an earlier failed attempt I managed with some help from here to get back to a stock rom and then upgrade it through KIES
However don't want to give up here and still want to get the tablet rooted as easily and safely as possible. So have a few questions - not looking for detailed answers but perhaps someone can point me to the right article
I have a Galaxy TAB2 10.1 WiFi only GT-P5100
I am currently running Android 4.1.1
Can someone point me to step by step instructions which will just root my tablet without changing the current version I am on - Ideally I dont want added steps to install an earlier version
No need to reply thanks - I ran CF-Auto root which I had tried before but it failed previously because I had accidently downloaded the 3 g version
this time it ran perfectly exactly as it should and have just verified that my tablet is now ROOTED in the end I followed these instructions as they were easier to follow http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/12/...01-p5110-android-411-404-official-firmware/2/ but I did check first that they seemed to correspond with what I could find on here as well - I felt more confident with this site because it said it would update from 4.1.1
