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.

[Q] which kernel for N7000JPLA1 can make root also

I have GB stock rom 2.3.6 N7000JPLA1, and i want to root it, I read it is not directly rootable and must downgrade and root then upgrade.
So, is there any kernel to use that has root also in one step rather than downgrade, root then upgrade?

Follow this guide

If you want to upgrade to ics then first update, b'coz rooting is easy on ICS.
Otherwise as said above follow that link

But I heard that speedmod kernel can be installed over GB and will make the root also, is this correct?

No, neither of ics kernel will work on gb rom

But i think speedmod k1 and k2 are for gb.Isn't it??

For GB there is abyss and Cf root kernel also there. I said ICS kernel won't work.
Fundamentally it has no meaning to raise counter just by using custom kernel for GB for getting root, If you want to update. Here OP suggest he wants update.
ultimately if you want to update to ICS, best way is to go clean with PC odin and ICS rooting will take just 5 min to root.

Try flashing stock rom in Odin.

.......or use superSU program, there is option for this. It is included rooted rom.
BEFORE removing root you have to remove all mods/program that are dependent/needs root.
Use you own risk, and remember take backups!!!!

Samsung Jelly Bean 4.1.1 OFFICIAL upgrade onto ROOTED Tab2 possible?

If one uses the TRIANGLE AWAY app to roll back the flash counter and return the Tab2 status to NORMAL, is it possible to use the Samsung Jelly Bean 4.1.1 OFFICIAL upgrade onto a ROOTED Tab2 and preserve user data?
Part 2 of the question is: Is there anyone who can report having done this successfully saving his data, and not bricking the device?

Downgrade Note from 4.1.2 to 4.0.4

Hi,so I read a lot of articles about this and I'm aware of the brick bug so I checked my Note with the emmc brick bug check and it showed that I have a sane chip.I got my Note with 4.1.2 and I'm not rooted and I don't need root.So my question is can I safely downgrade to ICS and upgrade it back to JB if I wanted to?I really do not want to mess something up before I begin.

Yes you can if you follow proper procedures and take precautions.

That is if I follow the Odin Pc procedure of flashing?And ofcourse not doing the factory or any kind of wipe/reset on ICS?

On ICS, just dont do any Wipe while on stock ICS kernel.. You can install a safe kernel like Speedmod / Philz (for ICS ofcourse) and then perform wipes.
- When downgrading from JB to ICS using odin, it may end up in a boot loop.. its better to wipe data while on JB then flash ICS using Odin.

Will try today.I like the older ICS Touchwiz more.

True. It was snappier.
