How to root my galaxy note???

Hello guys I have shifted to galaxy note from iPhone and note is my first android phone. I have read too many posts and advantages of rooting so I have decided to root my gnote and install ics stunner rom on it. Can anyone suggest me the easiest method to do so as I'm a complete newbie at rooting and I want to play it safe and also suggest me whther or not to root. My kernel version is DDLB2.
Thanks...

It is like you have to check your baseband version from settings>about phone and find the related kernel. Sometimes a custom kernel doesn't allow updating so better to be on stock while updating through OTA.

Revert back to stock using Odin, then update with ota, and proceed to root.

Or just flash a custom ICS ROM from GB so you don't have to deal with any OTA updates
If you do go for stock, please be careful of the emmc bug present in stock ics kernels. Learn about it before making the jump.

(Q) If i update to 4.04 will i lose root?

I am running LQ2 on my Note and its rooted via Dr Ketan guide. If i update to 4.04 will i loose root and simply need to re-root device or does everything stay the same as its onlya minor update?

I think you will loose root and will only have to re-root with the same method :

I was on LQ2, downgraded to GB LA6 (wipe/factory reset) and flashed LRG + apply the root method. Everything working - just follow the guide.
Note that as mentionned in several threads here, it is not safe to factory reset/wipe on ICS due to the risk of bricking your Note.

Thanks for reply.

Will that unroot it too? Or do I not need to unroot to get OTAs and Kies compatibility?

If you flash stock rom, it will unroot and remove cwm also.

Hmm, and I can use Odin to flash a stock ROM over cm10? I've never used Odin before, why cant I just flash the stock ROM over cwm?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

because stock roms doesn't come in the form of cwm installable zips.

Thanks for the advice so far guys, just a few more things:
do I need to go back to a GB rom before flashing a stock ICS ROM via Odin?
I saw in this thread that says it's optional: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
And just to make sure, if I do flash back to a stock ICS ROM via Odin, it will overwrite my current kernal/root right?

You can flash straight to ics but remember you'll then be on unsafe kernel. Do wipes before flashing.
Yes, flashing stock will overwrite kernel.

[Q] How to update to official Jelly Bean

My Dad has the original unlocked Note, and I'm wondering how I can update to the official Jelly Bean without rooting or voiding warranty, as it isn't showing up in the OTA menu.

Open Samsung kies and Let it download the update or go to settings and update via OTA
Let me know if you have issues with this we will walk you through it

I've tried updating via both Kies and in About Phone, both places say that it's the most recent firmware available.

OK you are on a version that hasn't received the OTA yet.
You will have to install it via PC Odin.
Go to Dr.ketan's sticky thread for step by step instructions.
