Hi, I'm a new user & I need to root my GNote. I read the thread by dr.ketan. But I need to root my phone directly (without downgrading). Is it possible now ? or do I need to wait few days (until CF-Root is out for DDLB2) ? or is it mandatory to downgrade it ?
no it's not possible. it has nothing to do with CF root LB2 or the present LB1. you still have to downgrade, root and then upgrade.

Thank you !, Well, I'll downgrade it first then.
btw, will it increase the flash count if I downgrade via PC odin (mentioned in dr.katen's post) ?

No, flashing stock Roms with PC Odin never increases the flash counter. Flashing custom Roms/kernels does.

As of now LA1 is not directly Rootable. Flash Rootable ROM then root, and after flash LA1.
Follow this thread to rooting guide.

Download guide from last link on my signature, it will guide you step by step to Root it. yes you have to downgrade it first. N if you follow it exactly, there wont be raise counter.
I was on LA1 but now I downgrade to KJ1 and flash to Custom Rom by use Odin successfully. Seems no problem. But I really want to know is Counter raise.
What happened if Counter raised and what is it? Thanks

Binary Count will raise only if you flash any custom ROM using PC Odin.*If your Binary Counter is 1 or more than than 1 you will lose warranty. and there is way to make it 0. but that app needs ICS. and Chainfire is working on it.
Just Boot in download mode
In your device upper left corner you can see Custom binary count
it should be : "No"
Thank you
So I've to wait for Chanefire's work
HELLO XDA :good:
I have a rooted, but bootlocked Xperia T.
I was just wondering, what fun things can I do with it?
I can't install CMW or anything, so isn't flashing things impossible?
Anything would be nice!

you can install cmw on a rooted phone running 7.0.A.1.303 firmware, and you can flash that firmware with flashtool. Read the all in one thread from my signature.
Also, I must ask, why did you root if you didnt know what to do with it? You have just killed your warrenty for no reason..oh well.
What you can do with rooted and locked bootloader
Remove bloatware/debrand phone
Gain access to system partition
install cmw (In 303 Firmware)
Flash stock based roms like mine (Find in my signature) Its 195 based so you will be rooted and still have cmw and be on 7.0.A.3.195

Rooted it for Titanium Backup.
Just checked, and I'm running 7.0.A.1.303 Could I flash CWM using flashtool?
Thanks!

Ok, fair enough
Read the instructions in the thread for CMW for locked bootloaders. FInd a link to it in the all in one thread from my signature or just do a search
It is NOT flashed with flashtool...
And no need to say thanks, if you feel the need to say thanks, just press the button...thats what it is there for
So i managed to install nut's prerooted Rom 14.2.A.1.136 Android 4.3 and Dualrecovery . Everything works flawlessly. Will donate some money to that guy for sure.
Question is, if i decide to downgrade to the stock rom ...534 or upgrade to nut's kitkat prerooted rom, is there any chance to hardbrick the phone ? What's the common procedure to downgrade to the 534 stock rom. Just flash it using flashtool ?
Thanks guys
Why do you want to downgrade?
Using flashtool (with a full FTF file) will mean you lose root.
If you want to upgrade then just follow the instructions to install it, flash the .zip in recovery and then the stripped FTF.
There really is no need to worry if you follow the instructions.

You will lose root if you flash a 534 full FTF
Also, you may lose IMEI number, but that's not a problem as you will get it back when you upgrade. If you are not going to do it, why ask?
Once you have root you do not need to downgrade again to update, just update.
thx man appreciate it. Well i'm asking because i am curious , that's all

That's good... I like that!!!
Curiosity is what will lead to more development, and everyone has to start to somewhere. I really appreciate the fact you are trying to learn instead of so many who just want a "quick fix, one button solution!..
welcome to XDA!!!
Maybe He needs to downgrade to stock or operator firmware due a warranty situation.
I've downgraded a lot of times to stock .534 and never had any problem. You can root anytime and wherever you want that stock version.
Hi all,
My phone is using G900AUCU2AND3. It has been rooted and I also removed a lot of bloatware with Titanium Backup. Because of this, OTAs are failing.
I would like to flash the stock rom G900AUCU2AND3 again, so I can do that. However, I haven't been able to find it.
I only found G900AUCU1ANCE.
If I flash that ROM with ODIN, since that I'm downgrading, will I run into any issues?
Thanks a lot for your help.
the AND3 software is not out. if you have to fix a hard brick, bootloop or want a fresh start, you will need to downgrade to the ANCE firmware, flashing via odin.

This file, flashed via odin, will downgrade you to stock NCE ( minus the bootloader). Once on NCE you can take the ota update to the latest firmware, NG3:

Thanks. I was planning to flash this:

Isn't that the same? Just to double check.

The file from sammobile includes the NCE bootloader. Since you already updated the bootloader to ND3 you are unable to downgrade the BL back to NCE, hence my file minus the NCE BL.

You will need to downgrade to nce if possible, download towel root then flash back up to 4.4.4. There is a thread in here on how to do it but i can't remember what it's called
I'm sorry the question was incomplete. I meant to say is this possible from just the phone or do I need odin on a PCto flash
Yes search for flash fire , you will findthe thread you're looking for
