How to root the note from step one?

Hi guys. I'm quite a new note user. Lose everything that this phone has to offer. But I just want to take it a notch up. I want to try custom roms and everything. But I need help with rooting my phone first. Anyone kind enough to help me step by step?
Thanks in an advance.
Power to the note!

I was new to the note a week ago and followed THIS guide. Scroll down to where it says "2. I Want ROOT + CWM" and follow it from there. That is assuming you want cwm (clockworkmod recovery) which i use to flash the roms.
Its simple enough to follow and now im happily running on rocket rom v19

Ok, u've got then several Methods:
1st and best: Forum Search!
2: Another Kernel comes with root and ClockWorkMod, CF-ROOT by chainfire
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
3: Easy Rooting Toolkit (only root no other modifications on ur system) by DooMLoRD:
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
All this are good guides, just try.
If you want Root and a Custom rom, u've got:
4: Flash a ROM with pre-root:
Maybe one of this:
1: CheckROM Revo NoteHD
2: SheepROM
3: RocketROM (my preferred one )
4: ROMOW
5: Stock ROOT ROM (Such as XXLA4)
Just have a look at them.
I hope i helped you, whed i've done so, pls click Thanks-Button
And sorry for my english...

I am new to the Note too. After reading some threads I think the best way to start is rooting and flashing the CF-Root kernel by chainfire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 using method 1.2 if possible with your firmware version.
Don't forget to
- note your firmware version before doing anything
- make a CWM-backup after flashing CF-Root kernel (and copy it to PC)
- make a backup of your /efs folder (this is where your IMEI and other important stuff are stored, read this to learn how)
in case something goes wrong and you want to restore.
Don't flash custom roms using PC Odin, flash them using CWM or Mobile Odin because flashing custom roms with PC Odin will make the bootscreen show a yellow triangle and change the binary counter in download mode, both will shout "hey I messed with my phone" at the customer service in case you got an warranty issue.

[Q] Question for rooting SGN

Im currenly using SGN GT-N7000,
Android Version : 2.3.6
Kernel : 2.6.35.7-N7000DXLC2
i want to root + cwm + flash new rom ( looking for ICS )
i have searched and some of forumers said these version of kernel cant root yet,
is it?
any idea's?
any tutorials for me? easier for me to understands
Thanks.

Lazy, aren't you? There's a big juicy sticky in the Development subforum covering that in great detail.
But since I'm so nice:
Use Odin to downgrade to a stock ROM that is directly rootable (KKA is great for this purpose), then root using DoomLord Zergrush exploit. Flash a new build using Mobile Odin Pro, keeping root, then flash an appropriate CFroot kernel via Mobile Odin to get CWM recovery. Then you can safely flash whatever.

You may need to downgrade. You can check Dr. Ketan's sticky in the Development forum for the guide.

Hahh..
i do readed and watched several times of the rooting tutorials..
and some says DXLC2 are newer version and can't be root yet,
is it true?
and must downgrade it only can root?

Yes, follow Flintberg's directions and check out the sticky thread.

..and try reading and posting in the relevant section

thanks guys for helping
im from Malaysia, so
can i download / downgrade to :-
N7000DXKK1 --- 2.3.5 2011 November --- N7000OLBKJ6 ( Malaysia )
coz " KKA " roms is other country.. affraid the language changed..
if can, so that after downloaded these older stock rom ( directly rootable ),
use Odin3 to flash it?
after that where to get mobile odin pro? market ?
then use mobile odin pro to flash newer rom " Not Directly Rootable " DXLC2 " with " Ever Root " option ENABLE .
finish >> phone already rooted ???? running on [email protected] ?
got CWM too??
sry.. headache !! -.-"

Since we are in the noob-zone, i have two questions to ask.
1. If i decide to go back in stock ROM, can i use Odin for that? No matter what custom ROM i am at that moment?
2. If i want to flash another custom rom over my old custom rom, do i just make reset, wipe cache, wipe darvic cache and flash using CWM recovery?

1. YES

Is there a method to root Galaxy Note through Mobile??

Hello,
Just wanted to know, if there is any method of rooting the Note thru the device? If there is no way of rooting thru the device, which is the Simplest Method (There are many post and its so confusing, please direct me to the easiest rooting Method), also without downgrading, if any (without the risk)
Also i have updated to the latest 4.0.4 DDLR6 and still i see the emcc chip is at risk (thru Got Brick bug app from chainfire).
Sry for so many questions on a Single thread (New to Android, so doesnt want to take any chances)
Regards
Sri

yes but unsafe now

u can root via cwm and su files using your phone
infact dis was d most easy and widely followed method till few days back
buy it has been discovered to be risky lately
u may find an old thread and use dat method
but some bricking risk rrmains..v remote chances..
best safest way today is what u already know..downgrade to prerooted gb..then mobile odin pro..everroot..flash ics..

A shorter and currently recommended way to root:
1. Flash safe kernel with root (ex: speedmod, notecore) through PC Odin.
2. Use triangle away app to reset binary counter.
I'm also on 4.0.4 stock and will probably use this shorter method.

Hi, I use CWM (blue touch UI) & SU files (both install & uninstall) to root my Note Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM. So far everything runs smooth, even I format few times & re-do.
BTW, saw your thread here stating this method still has risk of being "bricked"
Is this still not recommended safe way? Where can I get OP thread to view the description in details on this issue? Thanks.

Sri, I guess u r anxious after reading several threads. Since you mentioned you are already on 4.0.4 DDLR6 and considering that if your objective is to just to ROOT (safely), follow what @gtranvi has rightly suggested. That will be a two step process.
1. Flash safe kernel with root (ex: speedmod, notecore) through PC Odin. (click here to download Speedmod. Thanks to hardcore for his post on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673072&highlight=download+speedmod )
2. Use triangle away app to reset binary counter. Thanks to Chainfire, who has done a tremendous job on this (click here to download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22463153#post22463153) Remembe rthat you have to download JUST the "TriangleAway-v1.70.apk"
And let me assure you... no need to panic, if you adhere to all the instructions properly!!!
Good luck...

You guys dont think we should stop mentioning that old method??
that method is proved unsafe, and no meaning to discuss more, as many newbies will find it from other site by reading here.
And read 'symbian6600' showing his achievement...
So we stopping discussion here.
OP can find rooting guide here

Do not use the old method at all, you risk a brick.

[Q] A newbie here with GT I9305 needs instructions

hi members,
I was a Windows Mobile user, then iPhone user, and did flashing custom roms, jailbreaking, install cydia, sources all myself. Okay, recently i switched to Android GT I9305 from iPhone. After my painstaking research of how to install ClockworkMod and to root device. I believed that i got CWM and Rooted successfully into my device, and have installed Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, etc.
Here're my questions, hoping whom may generously offer help
My GT I9305 -- Baseband:I9305ZHALI2, BuildNumber:I9305ZHBLL3 purchased in Hong Kong
1. I'd like to flash a custom rom! Before to do so, i know i need to backup, but i don't know what exactly i need to backup with Titanium Backup
2. About custom rom-flashing, i don't fully understand of how(i did search all over, seems a bit messy and not clear enough or maybe my bad comprehension, anyway), sth like Regional, Networking, or any i concern..............as i a newbie wishing there would somebody give out a Really Detailed Instructions
3. As my device has been installed CWM and Rooted. How do i reverse it to what it was like - Non modified, brand new? Please share a piece of information if you know well.
As Android is far more complicated than Windows Mobile and iPhone for sure. I really hope somebody out there give me a hand
Lastly, i apologize for this long annoying thread, and asking such stupid question again
Expecting some with broad knowledge...
Thank you so much

1) Titanium backup only does Apps. Contacts and messages will need another app.
2) Use the All-in-one tool kit. It has everything. In general, you need to push a kernel with CWM using Odin, then use CWM to install the custom rom. (Custom rom not included in the tool kit. Explore and see which one suits you. You maybe best suited for a lite rom to begin with).
3) There are stock images which you can flash via Odin to get back to stock. You will need Triangle away app to remove the flash counter.

Not true, Titanium also backs up messages, contacts, call logs, blue tooth pairings, wallpaper, accounts, etc

How? I can never get it to do that, even with a system settings backup (Full backup).
I always use a different app after losing all my messages during a rom swap once.

Sorry for my bad knowledge, what does mean "In general, you need to push a kernel with CWM using Odin, then use CWM to install the custom rom. (Custom rom not included in the tool kit. Explore and see which one suits you. You maybe best suited for a lite rom to begin with)"
May i ask for about flashing rom, i still don't know how exactly the way of doing it, could you guide me with flashing custom rom
Thank you so much

Try this , it;s great for beginners :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942150
Just flash from Odin, no root required first...
Why use this Root Method? Well the main reasons are:
- You have a complete Odin Flashable ROM Package.
- No Insecure Kernels are used or required.
- You can flash these packages on Non-Rooted devices
- The Binary Flash Counter will NOT increase when flashing these ROM Packages.
- The Red Exclamation Mark will NOT appear at boot up.
- And finally, you only have to flash one file in Odin and you have a complete firmware including Root Permissions.
What Root Package is used in these ROMs?
- Busybox 1.20.2 (Newer ROMs)
- SuperSU 0.99 (Newer ROMs)

And you can also access a rooted, deodexed and zip-aligned ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935570 or a pre-rooted, totally stock Nordic unbranded ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112213
Even though I'm in Canada, I got one of the HK devices you did with the very same firmware. Since I don't really want the Chinese elements of the HK build, I went with the Nordic unbranded ROM.
Once you have root I'd also suggest getting Mobile Odin. You can flash any firmware in .tar format directly from your device and can inject root, busybox and Mobile Odin again, so you'll always have root. And, you won't advance the modified counter that voids your warranty. This doesn't work for .zip files though.

[Q] Flashing & Upgradation of SGS I9000

Hi All,
A very good morning to all.
As the title suggests, I am requesting guidance in step by step manner. Since there is so much information that I am confused & hence creating this thread.
Below are the complete info of the phone:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I9000DDJV7
Kernel Version: [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DDJVB
My phone is a stock phone & has been never flashed before.
As per my research, its said that I should have a custom recovery in place & Clockworkmod recovery is the one of the best. I want to install the same using ROM Manager rather than using ODIN. I have got it from Google Store. But after clicking on install/upgrade "Clockworkmod recovery" then confirming my phone model. Then when I click Flash Clockworkmod Recovery I get this error - "An error occured while flashing your recovery".
I am not using ODIN as I can't delete update.zip file from my SD Card. Hence I am avoiding that approach so that I don't have any issues with accidental deletion of update.zip.
Requesting guidance.
Regards
Sudhir

Now, I have found an app called root checker. It is giving me the below info:
SU - Not Found.
Root Access - No Access.
Please guide me on what should I do next.
Regards
Sudhir

Hey there,
So the reason why ROM manager isn't working for you is precisely the thing you discovered using Root Checker. You're not rooted, and ROM Manager needs root access to work. (ROM Manager doesn't install Clockworkmod properly either, so you may want to refrain from using that).
So you need to root your device first.
The easiest and safest way of doing this is
1.) Flashing XXJW4 using Odin (if you're unable to use Odin for whatever reason this step isn't easily done).
Then
2.) Flashing Cf-Root made for XXJW4 (the thread is in these forums) through Odin.
This will root your device and install CWM onto it, so you can flash away.

Thanks Soryuu.. for the guidance.I wanted to know if CF-Root made for XXJW4 will work for DDJV7.
Regards
Sudhir

It may but I do not recommend it. I have done that a couple times but with xxjvk and I think xxjvo. If you gona try it do it at your own risk. Rather download the cf root for ddjv7

Hmmm, I don't think one was made for DDVJ7. Chainfire stopped making them after JW4 so a lot of newer firmwares are missing.
I wouldn't recommend trying, but you SHOULD be able to flash in a stock rom or stock kernel again should something go wrong.
But as I said, I wouldn't try it for the sake of safety.
Easier to flash XXJW4 instead because at least you know that the CF-Root made for it will obviously work
