Hello all! OK, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8013) that I'm still using and love, still running stock everything (Android 4.1.2, Build JZO54K.N8013UEUCMA3). Ideally, I'd like to upgrade to 4.4.2 and root it.
I checked the "Software Update" link on the device (in Settings), and sure enough, it says that I have I have an update downloaded...I'm thinking that it's an update to 4.4.2 that was pushed out to this device some time ago, but I'm not sure...I'm worried that it's some sort of "Samsung-software-only" update or something similarly useless that I may like less than what I have. So I have several questions:
1) Has anyone else experienced this before who can say what this update most likely is? If it's not 4.4.2, what is it?
2) I want to root this device, but from the different forums I've been reading, it appears that it's easier to root 4.1.2; rooting 4.4.2 seems to have met with mixed success, and that makes me nervous. But if I root, I won't be able to do the software update (and I don't want to deal with the custom 4.4.2 roms out there unless I have to, as the process seems very involved).
Does anyone have some insight or advice? Am I wrong about the difficulty involved in rooting stock 4.4.2? Thanks in advance for all your input!
4.1.2 is the last release for N8013 .
Custom Roms have 4.4.2 .
Question is why do you want to root ?

Hello JJegan...thanks for responding to me!
I successfully rooted my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S4) some time ago, and I love it...rooting gives me more finely-grained control over my device, particularly since a lot of apps ask for (in my opinion) rather intrusive permissions (e.g., why should a word-processing app want to know my location?). I have an app on my phone that monitors permissions requested and gives me the option to allow or deny access; I feel better having that and I just wanted to add that to my tablet.
If you're saying that 4.1.2 is the last release (that's what my tablet came with), then what is this software update the tablet is referring to? Also: I have noticed a few custom ROMs available for the 8013, but a lot of them are quite involved and require some unsettling jerry-rigging (e.g., after installation you must disable the phone portion of the ROM because it is added in by default, then you must install a Wi-Fi fix afterward that some users have reported does not always work, etc.)...so I'm worried about that option. But even if I find a custom 4.4.2 ROM that works great, would I be able to root after installing it?
Thanks!
But even if I find a custom 4.4.2 ROM that works great, would I be able to root after installing it?
YES via SuperSu

I have SuperSU on my rooted phone: correct me if I'm wrong, but SuperSU only allows you to manage superuser access for your apps, right? I don't think that app itself can give you root. I'm thinking I'll have to use the second of two methods mentioned in this post, but there have been conflicting reports of whether this works on an N8013 running 4.4.2.
Oh, and for anyone else who might be researching this thread with similar questions in the future: I managed to reach someone in Samsung customer support (wow!): If you have the stock Android 4.1.2 on your Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013, the software update that the machine may say is available to you is an update to 4.2.2 and that is "the most recent update" (read: last one) provided for this model. You'll have to find a custom ROM to get it to 4.4.2...very disappointed in that!
Long time since i actually rooted . As i understand the supersu zip flashed through TWRP recovery will root your phone .
https://download.chainfire.eu/1003/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip
4.1.2 is the last listed release from Samsung .for N8013 .
N8010 is up to 4.4.2 as stock rom .

I recently user rooted my device per the forum excellent instructions but now am unable to to update the firmware for the android OS. When I get the popup notifying me that an upgrade has been downloaded, I go through the drill of rebooting to the Odin screen and then reboot but am then advised that the upgrade failed and something about using Kies. I user rooted the device in anticipation of installing Ubuntu but haven't done it yet. I intended to be able to dual boot depending on what I am working on. I use the android OS most of the time and it works ok but will not upgrade itself. I have searched the posts regarding the inability to upgrade android when the system is rooted but haven't found anything that I understand or that tells me whether or not it is even possible to upgrade the android OS when user rooted. Can anyone answer the question succinctly and if it is possible point me to instructions on how to do it. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Hi. That's right, you can't make OTA official updates anymore if you rooted the tablet.
You can however download the new firmware version from sammobile (official non-rooted) or some custom version from XDA, then flash it with odin or mobile odin (for official), or CWM (for custom "zip").
Here's a tutorial for Galaxy Note, but it might work for your tablet too - anyway it gives you an idea of how that can be done. The written procedure is here.
going through the same issue...
I am having the same troubles as the person who started this thread. I rooted my samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 from the instructions that I found on this forum. I also installed ClockWork Mod recovery as per the rooting instructions. Now that I am hearing that I will be unable to update to jelly bean (official) because I rooted my device what can i do to work around this problem?
What if we reboot into Clock Work Mod recovery and use the option to restore device to stock firmware? If we did that option it would restore the tablet back to its factory resetting and then could we upgrade to Jelly Bean using the "software update" option?
Or is downloading a firmware from sammobile the best option?
I am really not sure about what to do next...
Hope to hear some kind of response on what to do next...
You can get JB stock from sammobile and flash it with odin. Or you can get a custom JB rom from xda and flash it with cwm. There's nothing complicated about upgrading, both ways are good. I would pick the second one, this way you stay rooted.
Hey all, I have a bought a galaxy tab 2 on android version 4.1.1 a while ago.
Back then I rooted the tablet so I could run whatsapp etc. on it.
After some research last days I noticed there were a few updates for the tab, and I decided that i want 4.1.2, (but still with root)
now my question is(since I can't update over the air):
How can i update my tab to version 4.1.2 while keeping the root acces and without losing or need to reinstall my apps?
because if i download the stock 4.1.2 ROM and install it, I lose all my apps and I need to reinstall it (from my experience with the htc legend).
thanks in advance!
Make a backup in CWM and install the ota; it seems that usually with this device OTA's will install properly when rooted.
You know, it's a sad day when your cellular service is faster than your home broadband.

No, that is the problem. It is not possible because it will say taht my device is modified. But i decided to try cyanogenmod on it. And if it doesn't suit me then i will install stock 4.1.2.
but still thanks
General Lollipop Information Thread​
Since many users asking the same questions over and over again i'm going to start with many "basics" answers for you
Why? because you guys won't use the search button :silly:
Can i revert back to kitkat safely?
Yes And No, If you have upgraded the bootloader.
If you have upgraded with Bootloader you might have some IMEI issues, And afaik there is none that has fixed this. Thus who hasn't updated the booloader can still revert back.
I got no baseband or WIFI
Go to More > About Device
Scroll down until you see baseband. if you don't have HOA7 in the end that means you're wifi won't work with stock kernel
Make sure that you always read the OP and if OP hasn't stated it, you need to update your modem and NON-HLOS.bin
Make sure to uncheck auto reboot before flashing!
Battery life is terrible
Yeah ofc you haven't had the rom for more than x days so it hasn't been fully set.
Can i use CF-Auto Root
NO! People who used this also flashed update-su in recovery, however flashing CF-Auto root isn't needed and it will not work due to old binaries.
How can i root?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/guide-t3018625
Why does X And Y FC
because you didn't provide logcat.
Why does it takes 2x minutes for it to boot first time?
because samsung made some changes which i can't tell, i've never seen such a slow upgrading screen on lollipop neither on stock versions.

ViPER4Android
I managed to install Viper as system app but problem is How do I Activate it? In Sound settings there is No Music fx, (although it's installed), so I don't have the option switch Viper on, let only see Adapted Sound and in custom profile doesn't select it either. Am I missing something or is it because this update is so terrible

Revert from LL 5.0.1 to KK 4.4.2 is possible even if you flashed the Bootloader!

Just saw this:
http://phandroid.com/2015/05/18/note-pro-12-2-lollipop/
I was planning on giving it a try. I don't have any files I need to save on the tablet.
I rooted the tablet recently and am running a rooted stock 4.4.2 ROM. I have titanium backup on there with a lot of stuff frozen, and xposed frame work.
I realizing flashing this lollipop ROM will unroot my tablet, but I'm wondering if I should do some kind of full wipe/dalvik clearing etc? Is there any other steps I need to take before installing a non rooted ROM on an already-rooted device?
I'm running the stock recovery at this time (but could flash something else if recommended.)
i checked out the link. it seems like the update is only for the LTE version (p905), unless im seeing it incorrectly, i wouldnt mind losing root whilst trying the new update
crap... you're right, the article itself refers to the "wifi only" version multiple times, but then the file is for the LTE... what a bummer. Erroneous article. Thanks for pointing it out before I flashed it.
Good catch !
Good catch there, I must admit I got quite excited seeing that lollipop was ready for the Note Pro 12.2!!!. I too have the WiFi version of the NotePRO 12.2'' P-900, and am chomping at the bit for Lollipop, more-so than for my main use phone (Note 3 SM-N9005).
I'm still on the stock firmware, enjoying the tablet as-is, but struggling to find many Apps where the UI has been crafted / coded / mod'd / re-written etc, with a tablet in mind!!
I've been patient to-date re: Lollpop, but will subscribe to this forum thread in case of news . Are there other sources I can / should be subscribed to, that you would suggest? .
Thank you, and cheers... :silly:

Just keep an eye on Sammobile. They're the ones with the firmware and the news. (The original article is from Sammobile.)

Could you help me out? I have a Note 12.2 that I tried to root when I first got it a year ago. It tripped Knox but still did not get root. I would love to get to where you're at: KK 4.4.2 with TiBu, xposed, etc. Can you point me to some instructions that work?

Sorry for the late reply! If I remember correctly, I used the "near stock untouched" version found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/rom-original-stock-debloated-stock-t2860069
But I forget! I do know that I have the stock recovery. I rooted/Flashed ROM with ODIN. But didn't install custom Recovery.
As in the title states I have the galaxy tab 2 7.0 and recently I installed CWM and a ROM and everything looked like it went right however after I reloaded my tablet nothing seems different it jus seems to return to stock setting and now I cant do the OTA software update which means now certain apps and games I can no longer uses as it says my device isnt compatible. My goal was to simple update from Jellybean to at Least Kitkat.
Can someone help me. where did I go wrong?

Well after a short research I found a ROM called Resurrection Remix, loaded with 5.0.2 (or Lollipop) however now everything is force closing and I barely got my laptop to see it as MTP again after installing a new Binary (glad that did that trick for that) but I cant get it to boot into CWM Recovery bc I cant access the app the only thing it will let me do right now is change the Binary.
How can I fix this issue?
Edit: Okay so I got that solved with doing a factory reset twice, booted in CWM, loaded up the GApps. Now just wondering if there is away to make it not seen with phone options like the dialer or msgs as its jus a plan old tablet, doesnt take a sim card and has no carrier. I do have the source code but I am not tweaking that til I get a better understanding of it.
After a lot of research and tries (amazingly without bricking) I am now running an even newer version of a CM 13 Marshmellow
