Download a app that requires root and see if it can get root access

Just look if you have "Superuser" or "Super SU" installed.
You can download titanium backup for example and check if it requests root access. You can also try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck

Guys thanks for quick reply. I downloaded root explorer and it asked for access. This was a bit of a daft thread but I had a total mind blank on easiest way to check.it.

You should be able to paste a file to the system folder if your note has root. Use a program like ES file explorer to enable root and write on the system folder.

This is the one thing I am having a problem with actualy. Trying to move the S3 contacts into system folder but get failed message. Any idea?

Did I say to use it for lagfix?....no but even someone who can't read well can use it to root....literally rooting for dummies
You were having trouble so I tried pointing you I'm the direction for easiest root method...heck you don't even have to know how to follow directions to use it
It's funny you talk down on somebody without even doing your research. If you did you would know that the app doesn't root your phone anymore. Thanks for the help tho I do appreciate it

I have saved on my computer Ryan's z4root.apk from 2-3 weeks ago, that will still Root won't it if I ever need on Stock 2.1.1?
I'd suppose it would - he just had to take out the root feature for some reason. The application wasn't defective.

SPAM apps in market??

Found this karoges app by cloudnine in the market under my installed apps and there's no uninstall option nor can I find it I will titanium. Running stock rooted kl7 wondering if anyone else has seen this???

Well... i searched for that app in market but i couldn't find such app named "KAROGES"
Looks strange, but as you are root, you should kill the app+file+task.
Wouldn't be the first time there is malware in the market.

I ran into that problem today also.! Like Conqueror_1 had said, it is a link to a standard video player and it might be harmless... I'm not one to find out.! If your rooted you can delete it from your system... After using everything I could to un-install and could not find it (so irritating) I used my root explorer I found the app that linking us to that video thingy... it was in my system/app and it would be your videoplayer.apk... I just deleted the apk and rebooted my phone, now gone... I hope this helps.! ​
Step 1: Hit the "Report" button
Step 2: Delete it using Root Explorer/AntTek/Titanium
Step 3: There's no step 3

Unlockroot.com Rootp

I used the root tool at unlockroot.com. I am fairly new to this. I couldnt get the root to work using the zergrush exploit for my specific firmware. I was granted superuser access so I am assuming it went well. I guess my main question is how do I manage/add roms to my N7000? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This program doesn't work on the last couple versions of 2.3.6, the exploit was patched.
I don't see anyone really trying to find exploits in GB with ICS right around the corner
So does that mean that the root didn't work? I have super user access. I need a good way to manage rooms. Maybe I should just revert it back and wait on ics?

Check once your superuser access by installing any app that requires it like Titanium Backup. If everything is fine you should also be having CWM in ur apps and if u dont have it then flash the CF kernel specific to your firmware from this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
After you are done with all the check then you can go hunting for the available roms on GB and leaked ICS in this forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1349
Read the posts....and the features u get in each rom and flash the one you like
Explore and make the best out of your already awesome Note!
Thanks! That helped a lot. I ended up rooting with galaxynoteroot.com instructions and I am running criskelo ics rom now and its great.

open titanium backup and go to backup/restore tab which is just next to overview (default view) select the app and click uninstall and press ok on all the warnings. only remove bloatware and not any system app or file.

Does the above mentioned link solve only for the rooted devises? Ive downloaded TB, and it is not able to get root permissions on the stock rom. :crying:
Yes.. Only for rooted devices. TB requires root access. As a matter of fact if you want to remove any of the system apps you will need root.

Have you tried installing it as a normal apk with unknown sources allowed?

I just tried that, got the .apk from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2690997 it installs fine, but the app FC's all over the place and uninstalls itself after reboot. The thread says to move it to system/app or priv-app, but we can't do that because there is no root yet for NC2

I tried the same thing. I was quite disappointed when I got all the FCs.

I was thinking, its definitely going to be tough to get it into /system/app without mounting it RW (root necessary). This is just a thought, would an update.zip containing the apk be able to be flashed in the stock recovery?

Can you do that without being rooted??
*(And more importantly), what happens if that goes wrong?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
I think stock recovery has an option to flash an "update.zip". What happens if it goes wrong? I have no idea. I've never had to install a system app without root, I'm just trying to think of something that might work. I mean root browsers and adb are ruled out. Other than flashing, I don't know of many other ways to get an app in there. >.<
