[Q] How to Root without changing anything?

Title says it all.
I'd like to root my galaxy note to remove bloatware as well as to install root only apps. How do i do that while keeping my stock ROM? Is there a way to root without having to install a different ROM?
Appreciate anyone's help with this.

depends on what stock rom version you are running

Thank you for your reply.
Would this picture help identifying which ROM I'm using?

scroll down until you hit: I have Kernel KK1/KK2/KK3/KK4/KK5 - Download This - and Extract that's for root+cwm.
if you only want root, then use zergrush method

it's all on that thread, first post.

Thank you so much!
Before doing this i have some noob questions please.
Will i be able to unroot in a later date while still keeping the same stock ROM? Also, does unrooting puts the phone back under warranty or once rooted the warranty is voided permanently?

You can regain warranty by putting back Stock ROM anytime (you have to just flash Stock ROM with PC Odin)

Great! I just finished rooting. How can i save my stock ROM to flash it back in need? Or is it available somewhere and i just need to download it? I'm asking because i checked the thread with the stock ROMs and the one for my country isn't included there. Maybe if i know how o can help the community by posting it in that thread? Thank you!

reboot into cwm recovery, and do a nandroid backup. Dr. Ketan's thread says it all, really

Checked Dr. Ketan's thread. it has great info and a lot of helpful things but I couldn't find how to backup the complete phone to regain warranty by restoring when needed. maybe I overlooked it?
does a nandroid backup saves the kernel and modem and everything? or just the ROM?
sorry, noob here, who knows, maybe one day i'll be developing and adding some value to this community
Thank you guys for the help! very much appreciated!

Not quite, as most flash methods would increase the binary counter.
Re-flashing a stock kernel would only get rid of the yellow triangle.
There are ways to reset the binary counter, but he would need to make sure that his binary is at 0 (NO) to be 100% sure he will get warranty service

My answer was in reply to warranty back for rooted device, not raised counter.
N correct first line not most of method raise count. It is-
Any custom rom/kernel if flashed with pc odin that only raise counter.

To get warranty just flash back to a stock ROM it.wont raise the flashing count because it's an official rom

question is: how do i get back my stock ROM as i don't see it in the stock ROMs thread. I'm located in Morocco and using Meditel Galaxy Note. That's why i asked about how i can make a full backup of my ROM, kernel, baseband and everything to flash them when i need to regain warranty services.
Thank you guys!

try check fus Downloader
it has most of the KIES firmware available.
using it mainly since my first Galaxy S when i'm too lazy to hunt for custom roms and want to stay able to update with KIES

You can do it after getting root only, get root + CWM
Then with cwm you can backup.

My apologies- I just wanted to point that out.
Furthermore, of course flashing a stock kernel would not raise the counter and get rid of the yellow triangle, but if they hypothetically checked the binary counter and it was not at NO, then they could refuse warranty coverage for service AFAIK. Re-flashing a stock kernel will not reset the binary counter if it is above 0

I am not disagree, you are right. raised counter will not solved by flashing stock rom. That needs jig i know.
But i want to convey that your reply to my quote was misleading.
Actually someone have asked me, does unrooting can regain waranty? Or rooting voids my warranty permanently?
For that i said just reflashing stock rom will unroot n warranty will b regained.
That case there was not a question of raised counter.

[Q] How to prepare my note for warranty and what I've to tell?

Hello XDA!
I managed to brick my Note, so I'd like to sent it to the repair under warranty.
But my problem is, I'm currently on a stock ROM (I've flashed it with patched PIT) and I don't know how I should show to the repair centre that my partition is damaged and what to tell. Also my note has currently 3 flash counters.
I thought about the CF-Root Kernel -> TriangleAway.apk -> Flash a ROM with Mobile ODIN (Think doesnt increase the counter), but when I do it like this, my phone is still re-partionated with the patched PIT, so I have to remove this patched PIT, but when I remove it with ODIN and try to re-partion with stock PIT it would increase the counter? (And wouldn't be able to flash smth else because my note is bricked...)
At the moment I've no perspective how I can manage that. Has someone tip or knows how I could do that?
Thanks!!

Yes theres no other way.
You can buy it in ebay. Its better to buy the jig than to pay the repair, because they will surely see the binary count and void your warranty and also tell them you hardbrick your note by factory reset your phone.

Hmm, isn't it working through CWM? Can't one enter CWM when bricked?

The funny part is that my note is actually working with custom pit, but I have to show to the repair centre that they wont be able to flash a normal ROM, so I have to reset my counter first (this is possible with custom pit and stock rom & triangle_away.apk), but then I have to flash again the normal pit, thats the point. To flash again original pit increases the counter, or I am wrong?

Read all the threads here in Q&A. You'll find alot of threads like this, every one knew what the were doing when voiding the guarantee, but it's not prohibited to ask what they told to the repair centre? So where's the problem?

IF u can re-partion with stock pit i guess u can flash stock rom too.
just tell me how exactly did u brick your note

So ive the same problem.. Updated OTA to ics, made a factory reset -> Damaged partition. So i used the patched PIT to get it working again. All working fine now, except that there are much more lags than before.
So i want to send it back to samsung to get it repaired / changed. What can i do now? I think samsung will check the phone and they will notice that it was flashed with patched pit. Is it possible to get it back to stock (with stock pit) to send it back?

Not 100% on this. Don't think repetition ingredients to stock would work as it would fail, but this might actually be a good root to go down. There's a chance the partition would be damaged enough to pose a re- superbrick. Alternatively, install stock ics and go for another superbrick.

Bricked via CWM

I flashed via CWM MUI v.3 cuz the v.4 needed v3 due a bug but it hang on flashing boot.IMG. so i had to took out battery. Since then no charging / detection / download mode by buttons. Possible Ultimate brick?

Can access recovery mode?

Thanks

Dr. Ketan,
Black screen no detection no recovery

First make sure your battery is not completely empty. Try to charge with external charger or manage for other battery
Still nothing then manage for JIG as last option

Dr. KEtan,
I bricked the note with 95% then removed battery to prevent drain while briked. Will try JIG tonight., Will let u know

What do you think it is related with brick? Is it your fault of kernel or ROM fault. It is really annoying situation... Im sorry for your loss man...

Im not really an expert on android, but i would consider myself an advanced user so correct me if im wrong....
Couldnt it be, that the boot.img from the rom got corrupted somehow and thats the reason why it hanged while flashing it? Coz as of how i understood what the boot.img is used for, it would explain why u cant boot in recovery/dl-mode. Simply coz there is no bootloader on ur phone. Just an idea...

Well, im not a pro too to understand that since CWM erased bootloader and did not replaced it with the other version. How about SSC? Will they notice since my counter was not reset?

Yeah, I agree, if you tell them you just had to do a factory reset because it got really slow and laggy than they shouldn't have a problem. They wouldn't bill you either unless they had prior authorization.

First off before you start quoting other threads in other fourms, take a minute to get your facts in order.. Miui for the note has not been released to the public as of this date because it has the possibility to brick you device as it has the unsafe Samsung kernel (yes the same kernel as your stock note ), so if your running Miui on your note than your running a leaked version (then in that case you should know the risk involved) that is either running the stock kernel or it has one of the hydracore versions as it is the only option miui has at the moment unless your on one of the cm versions. So not defending either the rom/kernel he was trying to flash or what he was coming from as he really doesn't state either .. it would help if he provided such information. Sorry to the owner but before you get your device JTAGGED you may want to check with a samasung service center because the JTAGGED will void your warranty..

No ,CWM will not erase or even touch the bootloaders ,only PC ODIN can do that ,boot.img refers to the kernel ,I've had a corrupted boot.img flash once ,easily solved via PC ODIN ,the phone would start up and show the logo but nothing more if that happens .I doubt that's the case here but you could try a blind flash in PC odin and see if that works .

How you explain the phone stays black screen after hanging in CWM with boot.img? U suggest my board broke by accident? Someone can explain?

Could it be,
that,,,, i forgot to reboot after flashing the Hydrakernel... and eMMC bricked the bootloader perhaps? since the bootloader is stored on the chip as well?

Are you on stock kernel? If so then flash some safe kernel and try full wipe, if that too doesn't help, then flash stock firmware using pc odin.
I am assuming you are on ICS, as you didn't provide any info. You should have mentioned the method used for root and everything.

Take it to a samsung service center and ask them to reset the phone. Tell them its too slow after the latest update using kies. If there is a problem with the motherboard they will report back and replace under warranty.
Else they will install the OS completely new and you can start from scratch to root and install other custom roms.

Try using USB jig to go to download mode, try it first. Jig is not expensive.

No it's not bricked. Yes you lose your warranty, but you can unroot your Note. Don't warry Note is so good phone, that you don't need warranty

Then if it's not bricked why i need to remove the battery for 1 hour and wait an other 2 hours to finally open my phone after a simple turn off?
