I am brand new to Android. I just bought a Galaxy Note Tablet 10.1 but it's the GT-N8010 model. I would prefer to have the US version GT-N8013 because it seems that there are a few apps / functions are not available in N8010 model.
I've seen several threads about flashing for phones but not for the Note Tablet 10.1. And I can't find anything about how to actually get started from the very beginning. I've always had Apple products so even the terms flashing and rooting are new to me. I need bare bones basic instructions on how to root my note tablet. I bought the ODIN app and it won't let me use it until I rooted and that I needed to be a superuser? I'm so confused... /:
Can someone please help me? What apps do I need and what's the actual process? I appreciate any help anyone could give me.
Thanks!

I used this thread that's sticked in the note Q&A to root my tablet. I actually did it yesterday after getting the german jb 4.1.2. I wanted to use the multiwindow app, so I had to root. I am new to this as well, but that thread got me through the process flawlessly. =) I used the pc version of Odin to do mine though.

Sweet! Thanks. I'm now rooted! On to the next step!
hello, im very sorry if this is covered a million times over by now. ive been using google as well as looking into all the fourms in xda. very confusing and kinda frustrated. i have searched for about 3 days. i am very much a noob and dont get the lingo. also post seems to spin off into installing custom roms. im just looking for pure root. bootloader and things of that nature i dont care much about. my problem is i have app data in my Motorola xt912 droid that i just rooted the other day. i cant use helium to get it out. so rooted with a program i found on here. bought titanium back up pro. i also bought helium pro since i was able to move data from this s3 to my girl friends s4. i do want to help support the devs that make these things possible for the average user that likes to keep things simple.
so i have this 4.3 update. so i see forums saying i can root while others say it will brick my phone. just looking for a straight answer. thank you for taking your time to read this and have a happy new years

Sorry to hear about your searching troubles. I think everyone here will admit that specific info about Tw 4.3 is hard to find in one place but we've got folks helping out in the 4.3 discussion thread. Ask anything and someone may have an informed answer.
You can use Saferoot to root TW VRUCML1 ota. Yes, my link is to a Galaxy S4 tool however we have multiple users in the discussion thread that have confirmed Saferoot works for our latest 4.3 OTA. Feel free to search in that thread and you will find confirmation. Root has been possible much of the last week, maybe two.
I know you said this but I'll just reiterate, we have root only nothing else for TW 4.3. Do not flash anything in Odin unless it's the 4.3 VRUCML1 tar to restore back to stock.
thank you!!!!!
ok this seemed to have worked. my phone wants to reboot but titanium back up pro says i have root. maybe in your nice guide which i havent found anyone who said this yet, that the program ask to disable knox. i clicked no. (another reason im scared to reboot my phone) i cliaked no because of all the post saying to disable knox will brick your phone

You should probably run that tool again and choose yes. Haven't heard of anyone choosing no, the people I've seen who had root chose yes. It's not explicitly stated but it does not hurt the phone in any capacity by selecting yes. To be honest though, idk what the difference is between selecting yes and no.
I'm not on the TW 4.3 OTA so maybe someone can provide input on the disabling Knox.

I just used saferoot on mine today. I honestly didn't see anything about disabling Knox when I did it, but when I installed titanium backup Knox Notification Manager was already disabled so I'm assuming it happened somewhere in the process. Phone is working great so far. I haven't tried defrosting it because, well.... Why, it's working fine the way it is.

hello. I need the exact instructions that actually work to root my galaxy s5 5.0. the root methods on forums never work and I know exactly how to root the phone. but no one gives all the information on exactly how to do it. this is a replacement phone. I had the last version of Android rooted but the instructions on rooting that didn't work also and I had to use an app. I see where people have said you need Android bootloader but bootloader doesn't work through Odin. So can't actually put a custom recovery like TWRP on the phone using Odin. Is there another method that people aren't telling us that actually work or is there an app that can root. Had to use towelroot on my last phone because the rooting method never works. And I have been flashing ROMs for years on multiple phones so i know what needs to be downloaded. Just method can't work for everyone ununfortunately. If anyone has any information on how I can root my phone now that I'm on Android 5.0 would be much appreciated. Or if it's impossible to root the phone now that I'm on Android 5.0. If anyone can tell me that I would appreciate that too. Thnx

My rooted phone will not let me into my playstore, i think this could be do to rooting and then doing the android update, or maybe the freedom app i downloaded at one time. It also says I lost root. Anyways I was stupid and thought I new what I was doing and think I may have really screwed up my phone. Will flashing stock firmware fix this? think i have looked through the threads already and I think I have a good handle on this whole flashing stock firmware. My question is if I give you guys my build number/ phone info can you tell me what exact firmware I need to revert to stock? Build# VRUFNK4 for a SCHi545 samsung galaxy S4 G. Let me know please. Thanks!

The best way to flash back to stock is using Heimdall one-click. Complete instructions are available at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470716

Looking for a google frp bypass also if anyone knows how.
Ok the past week iv pulled all nighters trying to root this s727vl. I have also did ton of of research and have found out the root method for 6.0 marshmellow and how root is obtain has drastically changed. I have easily rooted every device iv owned from 2.0 to 4.4. What if found out is the device is easier to root than 4.4 and 5.0. The problem is that the 2 root methods are not currently possible at this time because custom recovery is needed to flash supersu.zip. twrp and cwm have not made a compatible apk for our device. And the second root method which requires eng.boot don't have one for our device's either. The good news is that twrp is completely open source and there is a guide here on the forum on how to recompile it for your device. I will be giving it a shot. Dont wast your time with iroot, kingroot, srsoot,towel root, unlock root, tunesgo, and about 5 more that i cant remember the name.. i will keep everybody posted on my recompiling twrp. It's going to be a awhile though.

Any luck yet I sure hope so I've been doing the same thing trying to find a root or recovery I got another one just like the ones were working on that I dropped and cracked the glass so I'm going to use it as as the test subject.
Wondering if you had any success rooting this one. Honestly, I'd just like to use the mobile hotspot.

Hey,
Do you still have the link to the factory firmware for the sky pro?
I am having a weird problem with my new phone, if you care to look at my only post you can read my description. If not I could use that firmware. Mine must be corrupted or some **** because factory reset wont fix my problem. Thanks!

I've been studying this phone for a while and waiting for a root method. TWRP would be ideal, but it doesn't seem to be a priority for those with the talent to do so. In my research today, I may have stumbled upon what appears to be a means to root this phone (or any phone). Instead of looking around for "root", try instead to study and learn about Magisk. It seems to be the new preferred way to root newer devices. TWRP would make it easier, but there are instructions to use the stock firmware download and the Magisk app to achieve root for practically any device. Even if there is no TWRP available.
From what I can gather, Magisk modifies the stock Boot.img file. Once modified, it will allow you to switch root on and off much like we have in the past. It also has the added benefit of "hiding" from the OS, so the OS is not as likely to become aware of being rooted. It remains rooted even after Updates.
Have a look at this link for a better explanation and a basic how-to:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/how-to-install-magisc-twrp-locked-t3599926/page2
I post this so that the rest of you can try it as well, hopefully soon so we can compare notes and hopefully leverage each other's success. I'm downloading the Stock firmware now. This is NOT a "run a magic program and it roots my phone idiot-proof method", but it doesn't seem to be overly-complex either. Good luck and please report back.
