Root 2.3.6 (LA1 Kernel)

Hey guys I recently posted a question about this on the general forums but let me explain why I repost it here.
So basically I wanna root my phone so I can use chainfire3d or some app similarly named but you have to be rooted to use it. So previously I was on a kernel KL3 which one of the expert people told me that KL3 can't be rooted or rather have issues rooting so I kinda gave up rooting but.... anyways I recently got a kernel update to LA1, I'm still on 2.3.6 but this time with a different kernel. So I was hoping atleast I might be able to root this kernel but I don't know how, I recently tried using unlockroot software but it gave me a 'failed to get shell foot's which in the website's FAQ said they cannot help imwith that error. So I was wandering if anyone can help me with rooting my phone on a LA1 kernel and please do privies detailed instructions and links if possible as I'm still new to this 'android scene' and I don't want to brick my phone. Also I'm not fond of the idea to downgrade my phone to 2.3.5 just so I can root, I rather wait for 4.0 update then hopefully when a root for ICas arrives then ill root it.
How I wish rooting is as simple as jailbreaking for my iPod

You cant root LA1 too directly.

Well that's a bummer, can I ask why haven't people created a software to root LA1 kernel as I hear its fast for android phones to get root as they are open sorce software.
Anyways correct me if I'm wrong but if i wanted to root I have to wait for the ICS software then root afterwards or I will not be able to root ever?

I cant see this cud be happen so early, better to get old version, Root it. then update to LA4 or any new version with keeping excisting root intact, as i have mentioned above. whether this method will work with ICS or not, is also difficult to say right now.

im going through the same predicament...
Galaxy note LA1 Firmware.
So now my options are ?
1. Downgrade to 2.3.5 ? and r00t and then get back to the latest firmware while keeping r00t
2. Wait for ICS ?
3. Load a Custom Rom like Rocket Rom ?
What are the issues with loading a custom rom? i will get r00t automatically right ? but the Flash counter ?

1. that is the choice shud be.
2. No guarranty ICS will have direct root.
3.Without root How you can install custome ROM? it certainly raise counter, if flash with PC odin

Doc ketan : Thanx for your prompt reply
LA1 is working fine in the non-r00ted avatar on my phone, now the Thread >> [20.01.2012][CF-Root 5.0] KJ1/4/6, KK1/9/A, KL1/3/7/8, LA1/3/4 - su+bb+CWM5 << says it can r00t the LA1 firmware.
What do you recommend should i go ahead with CWM??

No it won't Root LA1, it is just for CF Root for LA1, if you are rooted, then you can get LA1 CF Root.

Ok just to let everyone know and those still struggling to get your notes rooted basically do this.
Use pc odin and flash your phone to a lower firmware (don't worry it will go fine if you read the instructions and follow them no yellow triangle and stuff)
I used India KL1 stock rom from samfirware.com (be warned it takes very long to download it if you don't have a premium hotfile account so if your expecting a 5 minute thing then forget it, took me about 3 hors jlto do the entire thing)
Just use the India KL1 even if your note is not from india or use whatever other rom you feel comfortable with, just make sure its rootable
So after flashing your note with Pc version of odin then use unlock22 software to root your phone, which takes about 10 minutes.
Then finally download your firmware you were on or the one you want (in my case was a LA1) and use mobile odin to flash it
The reason why you do this long method to flash is because LA1 kernel is not directly rootable meaning it can be rooted but you MUST use this longer meathod.
At the end of it all my phone is still functioning fabulously like before but only difference is it is more free than before since its rooted and no loss of data.
I wanna thank Dr. Ketan a lot as he was the one who helped me with my long list of questions without getting annoyed so I appreciate it and thank you from the bottom of my heart, so basically Dr. Ketan is the best and just follow the links in his signiture if you want to root your galaxy note.
Once again thank you Dr Ketan (you rock) and this thread's question... is solved!

Hey Can you point to an Odin tutorial please? I am having the same situation and I understand everything but the Odin part!

Just follow the links on the dlsigniture of Dr Ketan

How to root Galaxy S

Hi,
I am fairly new to this and need advice on how to root my samsung galaxy s.
Details below:
Android 2.1
Baseband Version : I9000XXJM2
Kernal Version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build number : ECLAIR.XWJM3
Any assistance as to how i need to root the phone, new kernals and latest ROM will be appreciated

Using the search function and reading before opening a new thread is generally considered the best way to go about it my friend.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Reading & searching is always a good idea but often if new you don't really know what to search for so here is a little help.
If you just want root then go to cf-root Read through at least the first post. it is a lot but very helpful.
What you usually want is the cf-root with the last three characters of your build number. If it doesn't match try get one that is close. If you plan to flash a custom ROM then it doesn't matter to much which one you have.
If you want an easy way to have root and the ability to flash custom ROMS you may as well start with DarkyResurrection. It has an easy to follow thread and the download has everything you need in one download.
Alternatively if your goal is to get ICS then here are two tutorials that will get you through the whole process from beginning to end which I recommend doing either one of. Once done you will be in a great position to move onto any ICS ROM, Kernel or Modem you like. My personal favourite is Slim ICS with semaphore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966 (slightly more current ROM)
ICS list of Roms & Kernels
ICS benchmark thread
List of Modems
Lastly a great Samsung Galaxy Resource site: SamMobile. You need to register but it is free.

There are 2 ways that I know of to root your phone depending on what you want to do going ahead.
If you want to install a custom rom, then follow the instructions given above.
But if you want to keep your stock rom and root your phone to install some apps that work only on rooted phones then I would suggest that you use the SuperOneClick method.
Let me know if you need instructions for the SuperOneClick method and I will be happy to share it with you.
Cheers :thumbup:

Install samsung kies and update to gingerbread. Then do cf-root.

I would advise to first upgrade to GB, which is much better version of OS than Eclair. If you are not able to upgrade using kies, you learn how to upgrade here: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum/threads/samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-flashing-to-original-rom.46/

Sorry ratl0lz, but this is not spamming. I have already written something for helping others and just asking them to visit the page instead of reproducing everything here. Just writing "CF ROOT" may not help for someone who does not know things as good as you know.

When you do not know what you need, we should walk 2 steps back:
What do you want?
- Stock ROM ICS for a specific country and carrier?
- Or a Custom ROM (all with english language support, so this shouldn't be a problem for SA)
What do you have now?
- GB 2.3.6?, Rooted? Stock or Custom?

I have stock GB rom 2.3.6 unrooted. I would like 4.0.4, any carrier is fine. It wasnt a big deal on my previous s2.
If it is possible to flash a custom rom on unrooted phone with ordin then that would be nice.
Thanks for your help.

So, this isn't a torrent question anymore.
First of all: With a N7000 it is a big deal because you can easily brick your device - happened to really many people - because of an error in a specific chip in our Note.
So please be very careful and - the boring part - read the stickies and follow the advices/warnings in nearly every thread.
Second: Dr. Ketan wrote some very good tutorials how to get from 2.3.6 unrooted to a Stock or Custom ICS (both rooted). Read them and you will succeed.
Start with a prerooted GB (like LC1) and Chainfire's "injected" kernels. From there you can get to a rooted stock ROM with Mobile Odin Pro or you can choose other ICS Custom Roms. CM9/CM10 ROMs need different approaches.
I will not give the links here, because I hope you like to search these threads yourself, they are not far away
