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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
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

Thank you for this but it doesn't have my software either.
anyone's help on how to do a full backup of EVERYTHING including the ROM, the baseband and the kernel... would be very helpful.

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.

Return your SCH-I705 back to factory stock (minus flash counter)
Flash these in ODIN 3.04
DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION, FLASH LOCK, OR LED CONTROL
ALL ANDROID VERSIONS ARE 4.1.2

VRBMI1

Unfortunatley, I don't know of a way to reset the flash counter. Triangle Away may do it, and the manual method for resetting it on the Galaxy S3 may do it, but I've not confirmed nor do I want to try.
Don't forget to hit the thanks button!
I might want this one.
Is there a known way to go back to the rooted unlocked tab?
Yep. Just flash one of the stock rooted Odin system images in the root unlock recovery thread, then flash the aboot (bootloader)
Basically following the instructions like you would if you just bought the tablet.

Triangle Away shows the correct flash counter on my tablet, so I'm going to assume it works, but no proof. I've sent chainfire a PM asking a couple questions and hopefully we'll have an answer

Computer with ODIN. Don't use Mobile ODIN as the locked bootloader will brick you. Either way you may not be able to use these depending on what version you're on.

That's good to know about ODIN. I am currently on Android Version 4.1.2 "DoubleShoot ROM", by Dr. Hyde. Will it work on thiss version?
WTF
So I was rooted and customized all except twrp and used flashify to flash twrp 2.8.7.0 and all the sudden i GET Verizon wireless has detected un...blahblah blah please take to a vedrizon store..... WTF is this and why in the heck do I have it comming up after root and everything???and now what?? I think just re flash stock recovery with 3.04 odin right?
nope its ir bootloader sorry man reflash to stock
You will get the KNOX bootloader if you flash this.
YOU CANNOT UNDO THIS, ITS PERMANENT. FLASHING ANYTHING UNOFFICIAL AFTER FLASHING THIS TAR WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY
Just the MK2 FULL stock tar extracted from Kies. Very hard to find online, and only extremely SLOW downloads available, so here it is.
md5 of the Tar: b90c2a1b5b32dca4edc56a3e6a8a3522
Do NOT rename the tar file. Even though it may be convenient to do so, Odin may fail the md5 check for no reason.
(L720VPUEMK2_L720SPTEMK2_L720VPUEMK2_HOME.tar.md5)
This is NOT ROOTED. Its the original TAR file for people who need an Emergency Recovery for their phones, and dont want to wait hours for it to download from slow file hosts.
Mediafire
FileDropper
Instructions:
1. Download tar.md5 from above and download Odin
2. Put phone into download mode (power off, then power button + Volume Down, then volume up when prompted)
3. Open Odin (right click > open as administrator)
4. Load stock tar into the PDA slot
5. Start flashing
6. Grab some popcorn because it will take a while
7. Profit
Danger......Read carefully before flashing.
so if im on stock unrooted mja or mk2 and for any reason i want to flash this file it will cause knox to trip?
i dont understand.
you say it will cause knox to trip!

You will be alright. You have already upgraded to stock 4.3, so you already have the knox bootloader.
If you flash something unofficial, such as CF autoroot or a different recovery, you will trip the warranty void. The tar file I posted are Official, and will not trip the warranty.

Well you have already voided your warranty then and currently there is no way to get the knox counter back to 0.
If you flash this, you will be going back to full stock, like you would expect. You are safe to do this.

i have been reading over and over if you try to flash an mk2 or mja over a rooted or custom recovery that you can brick the phone?
are you sure odin would flash this when it detects there is a knox = 1 and custum recovery or root?
dont think it is as simple as you say when you are knox = 1 with custum recovery or root.
hope your right. but i dont think so.

I've used Odin to go back to MJA a couple times with a tripped knox counter and custom recovery. It works every time. Why wouldn't it? It just doesn't reset the counter.

i would assume something is stripped from the MJA and MK2 we get for odin files
kies and ota definately do checks and WIPES better
for some reason the MJA and MK2 i been flashing (stock mja/mk2) on me no root or cust reoovery (knox = 0x0)
those files are not wiping like they should
why are we always having to do wipes 2 and 3x like alot of these instructions say????
something not right
anyhow yea usually i would think just odin over a stock and everything ok.
knox is wierd and i dont know alot about.
people are talking about OTA and KIES screwing their phones up
i see alot of diff stuff being posted and its moving fast.
why are we still having problems with rooting?
isnt cf-auto-root working 100% now for mja and mk2?
are both twrp and cwmr/philz working 100% as far as functioning correctly and not messing anything up in the rom or firmware they go on top of or happen to install with?
seems like alot of people in those channels/forums dont like talking about it to much.
i thin what i will do is stick with stock firmwares (rooted) and then disable the hands free activation and the android system update
then i will just keep those roms to restore to in case it gets bad

Sorry I don't understand. Who's having trouble rooting? And that wipe 2 or 3 times stuff is bs. You only have to wipe once. As for the other stuff I don't know. All I know is my phone has worked fine and has never bricked. I don't use KIES either though and mostly run aosp roms.

i can verify the wiping/erasing from installing that mja or mk2 is not doing what it usually did with other fully stock rom
i think this phone has 2 firmwares and when you mod one the other one boots the next boot that is why you have to wipe it there too
there is DEFINATELY some double booting going on here
that is also why you tell cf-auto-root, twrp and cwmr NOT to reboot
pull battery and boot directly into recovery
i have had to do 2 and 3 wipes and its not just that
i was on mk2 firmware and i downflashed the modem to mdc
i had to reboot at desktop to get it to show in "about" settings
i then flashed the mk2 firmware (stock 2GB) and when i got in ui AGAIN it still showing MDC.....WTF???
ok so i boot into android recovery and wipe again and reboot and its now MK2
sometimes i just reboot and it will show it next time
its not just there either.
settings in ##3424# and *#9090# are also not getting erased with new official rom installs
really wierd stuff
yea i prob only used kies once in mylife and that was just to test it
usually im on CMnightly whatever is the latest
im not new and i most likely above avg on phone stuff
this KNOX stuff is wierd
even if you do an OTA the phone resets 2x during the install process and i think even with odin too

I let c.f. auto root reboot itself after odining to mk2 and it worked fine. And why are you mixing and matching firmwares and basebands? Also are you using "official" files or files that some guy with one post puts up? I'd say decide what you want to use and stick with it. Anyway good luck.

Hey man. I wanted to let you know I appreciate the crap out of you doing this. The slow downloads are awful. However, I've flashed this .tar file twice now using 2 different version numbers of Odin and the phone boots up but hangs on the SAMSUNG screen. Not the very first boot screen that says samsung galaxy s4 but the next one that begins with the purple and blue swirl and turns into the samsung logo while the led pulses blue. The phone doesn't freeze per se, it just never moves beyond this screen. Unless it's supposed to take 20-30 minutes, which I doubt is the case. Did I possibly get a bad download?

As with any rom when you first boot up, yes it's supposed to take a while. ("android is upgrading" in disguise maybe?)
Did you do a factory reset before booting up?
Let it do its thing for 10 min at least, and longer than that if you didn't factory reset. If it doesn't boot, then do a factory reset.

Just saw your reply, thank you. That was the one thing I didn't try. Right after I posted that last message I got into recovery (finally after 3 or 4 tries) and did the factory reset and it booted up perfectly! So handy having this file around. Thanks again for uploading.
I'm happy I found this post. I was able to help my friend with his phone. THANKS!

I understand that if your flash this MK2 tar you'll end up with the knox bootloader. But if someone wanted to get rid of knox, couldn't they just flash the MJA tar then re-root and update to an knox free MK2 firmware that unknownforce provided and you'd be all set?

Peace All,
*DISCLAIMER* I have done an XDA search as well as a GooGle search before posting this question*
I've recently purchased a Note 5 920G after the whole Note 7 debacle. I am looking to root this phone as I have done in the past with all my phones, but I have run into some roadblocks. This is my first Samsung phone (not counting my brief stint with the Note 7 for 3 days) and since the phone is quite dated, not in terms of specs, but in terms of being released last year, I am having difficulty trying to find the most appropriate and best way to root the device. From my research alot of old root methods for it tripped Knox (don't know what that is...) and other methods are dated using kernels that could possibly brick the device (Seaandroid?).
Could some one please refer me to the most current and safe way to root this device which won't trip Knox or brick the device. My intent is to flash a working Note 7 ROM.
Any assistance/direction on where to find the most up to date rooting method would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your quick response. I have been an HTC man, so I am familiar with all terminology referring to HTC--not to clear on Samsung's terms. So question--if you know--what exactly is Knox? And...from your statement it appears that there is no way around 'tripping' Knox, is that correct? I guess it could be likened to the red flags that appear once you unlock the Bootloader of an HTC device

Well in simple words...
Knox is an security program which comes wth every samsung phones now a days...
Knox is 0×0 by default...
But when u root ur device..it becomes 0x1 which means it has been tripped which acc to samsung....now ur device become out of warranty...
For more techinal details...go to this link..

Nd yes..if u damn care about ur phone warranty..then u should not root ur device otherwise u can root ur phone nd you will get lot of new features nd amazing custom roms

I really hate to keep bothering you, but after looking through the forums here on XDA and also watching YouTube videos--everybody is saying something different in how to root the Note 5. I am currently on MM 6.0.1 and this is what i got so far for systemless root;
Files downloaded:
*ODIN (3.10.7.1)
*SamSung USB drivers
*no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip
*BETA-SuperSU-v2.68
*TWRP
So..first I hit Build number 7 times to open up Dev Options
-I then hit OEM Unlock and enabled USB debugging
-I then reboot my phone into download mode and connect it to pc while ODIN is
up
-Flash the TWRP tar.md5 onto my phone. Reboot device by manual back into new
recovery
-once in TWRP, I swipe right to allow modifications, then wipe and then format
data
-flash no verify opt encrypt and BETA SuperSU 2.68
-then reboot phone
Are these the correct steps? Did I leave anything out? I just dont want to ruin my device. My ultimate aim is to flash Minotarus ROM (not sure if I need a kernel with that ROM or not).

No brother...you are not bothering me at all
Well...you can do that also...but if u want to install minotarus rom...u can do a little bit of easy steps....
1. Flash twrp recovery via odin ( select tar.md5 file in AP of odin)
2. Wipe system,data,cache nd dalvik ( 3 times)
3. Flash kernel of ur choice( in case of minotarus rom..since this rom doesnt come with any kernel)
4. Flash latest version of rom...
5. Reboot..
Now..its done..
Btw...most of the custom roms are pre-rooted...u dont need to flash super su for that....nd if they are not rooted..then u can flash super su after flashing rom

Ok...Got it, I think. I noticed you left out the no verify script...is it actually needed?? Also, since I have to download a kernel--I just flash that from ODIN or can I flash it from TWRP. I was goin in the path of Extreme UX kernel---unless you have a better option for starters

No..actually verify script is not needed
You have to flash kernel through twrp...
Well.... extreme UX kernel is veryy good or u can use even stock kernel ( which u find in minotarus rom thread itself)
Or if u want AOD feature...u can even flash nemisis kernel

It does not show me any downgrade option (with Beta 2)
I would always prefer ODIN, but I dont want to risk tripping 0x0 :S

There was a link for Smart Switch beta in the official forum, I wonder if that will work.

I did not see any link, it would be great if you could send me that link.
I tried it with ODIN and Knox is not tripped 0x0
Odin with official firmware does not trip Knox.

Short answer, yes it will wipe your data. Backup your data to Google drive or Samsung Cloud so you can restore after you go back.
Hi,
Flashing official binaries with odin does not trip knox cause :
1. If you are in locked bootloader, even if you want to flash custom binaries, the bootloader itself will not apply any changes , cause, obviously, you are not permited to do that .
2. Samsung does not allow you to downgrade to a version prior to latest patch, and, cause of that, you will not make any changes to bootloader itself downgrading, cause, the latest patch will be overwrited.
OBS: If you want your data , backup it first in SCloud or Manually (or both) , and you can try using HOME_CSC (Of firmware you are installing) to preserve data, but u can end up in a bootloop (forcing you to wipe data manually in recovery), but is worth to try .

FYI, wipe your data means LOSE YOUR DATA.
