why not? u can unroot anytime..

The problem is i cant find any root that can unroot without flashing the official rom

It'd be suppose to unroot just when you NEED it (maybe 'cuz you have to repair your device and need warranty). In this case why should it be a problem restoring an original rom?
Otherwise ther's almost no reason you'd need to unroot anyway

What i am seeing is the rooting will become so easy with ICS. B'coz CF have developed a application which removes the yellow triangle, n reset binary count. So we can root / Install any ROM/Kernel using PC Odin, then later we can remove triangle/reset count with Chainfire tool.
Note this tool works only on ICS.

Yeah, TriangleAway worked a treat for me. Unfortunately, I rooted my Note using Netchip's method the 2nd day I bought it. That was a couple of days before I discovered XDA and Dr.Ketan.

Restoring Root access after upgrade

Hi guys,
I managed to root my Galaxy note using the guide provided by Dr. Ketan here (option is CFroot + CWM). It was successful. Few weeks later I upgraded the firmware through Samsung Kies to LA4 and of course lost root access, and can no longer see CWM.
Can someone please help as to how I can restore root access? Would downloading the LA4 kernel from the same link above and running "already-rooted.bat" work?

No..this means you have lost all the rooting access. You got to re install directly rootable Rom via pc odin and re root the device..this is the simplest way i think.

Two things you can do.
Downgrade to directly rootable rom and then root it . Now install Mobile Odin Pro and flash the newer stock rom through it keeping the ever root option so that mobile odin root the newer rom while flashing.
Second. You can follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
Cheers!
Hit thanks if it helped!

Thanks a lot priyanv and abhisahara. Is there a guide somewhere similar to the original rooting thread showing the downgrade + flashing using Odin?

yes, download it from last link on my signature
- Start with ' I have non rootable ROM' that guide you step by step from downgrade to updating ROM

N7000 GB Unlock?

Hi,
I've already posted something about this before but I haven't had any response in a while.
I'm trying to unlock my Dad's N7000 locked to Orange in UK and my Galaxy S2 locked to 3 in UK so we can swap.
I know I can flash a pre-rooted ROM or I can Downgrade from 2.3.6 to 2.3.5 usin Odin or other softwares but I don't know which firmware I am supposed to use or kernel or what ROM for UK. or is 2.3.6 rootable? or shud I upgrade to ICS then root?
I'd like to stick to the original ROM as much as possible, and hopefully would be able to update to ICS once rooted and carrier unlocked.
The details for the N7000 are
PDA: N7000XXLC1
Phone: N7000XXLB2
CSC: N7000ORALA1
I've been trying for ages to find the info to do this, i'd appreciate any help pleeease

You can directly update to ICS and then root. as it is easy to root on ICS.(i recommend go clean, e.g. wipe cache and data on GB then flash ICS)
once you root device unlock using this

Call your provider,
They do it for free - well, o2 do anyway, not sure bout Orange etc... And I had only had my Contract about 2 months..

Ok so ive followed that but now when I open SuperuserSU it says "There is no SU binary installed. and SuperSU cannot install it. this is a problem"
my /system is at 0.0mb
how do I solve this?
Also my wifi is barely responding

You have partial root, try installing Busybox from market and then install binaries from busybox application inside.

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] Rooting Gt-i9305N without increasing any number on binary counter

Hi guys, i got an s3 GT-i9305N LTE and it's a little bit booring and limited without the root just because of the two year warranty and i don't wanna increase the flash counter of the phone and risk avoiding the warranty and i got two questions if you guys could answer, just to be sure before i do anything with rooting.
1. do you know if this guide will work for root without increasing flash counter for my phone using this guide but with the GT-i9305N firmware (JB 4.1.1) i got from samfirmware.com: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728441 ?
2. If the guide would work, do you know if i can flash again normal stock firmware for unrooting the phone for having the warranty back and without increasing the flash counter?
ps. i don't have any usb jig/don't want to use triangle away (don't know how safe it is) and i still want stock recovery and not cwm.

So.. you want to walk on water.. or what was the question?
Seriously just follow the guide in the appropriet development thread.
Its named something like- What to do first when you got your i9305...
Its safe if you just read carefully.
And why not use cwm? If you are messing with the phone why not do it fully. In case of warranty issius you anyway have to restore it fully. And why not run triangle away? Just do it.

Unless you can get Samsung to sign a ROM with root permissions for you then you'll have to flash it. As for Triangle Away, it is really safe (OTHERWISE NOONE WOULD USE IT!)

Hey guys, i followed the guide and flashed it on my phone, and i got root permission without increasing the counter or a triangle showing up at boot. The guide was for I9300 but i used the firmware for I9305N and yea... it went pretty well
