[Q] How to root galaxy note GT-N7000BDULB3 version

Hello xda developers
I am wondering if someone can answer a few questions i have about rooting my samsung note?
I'm in Australia and just got my note with vodafone on Saturday. I have been doing some searching in the dev section and I haven't found my kernel version (2.6.35.7-N7000BDULB3-CL977082) to download from dr.ketan I have also searched for it on sammobile.com with no luck also.
So from the above statement does anyone know where i can get a copy of it from or know how i can backup mine from my phone atm?
I have found a root solution however It is for the GT-N7000 model which is at rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-method-2odinheimdall
If I followed this above method would I end up bricking the phone as the phone version are different? I found nothing on a search when comparing the two
Sorry for an the essay of a post too.

Looks like you're the only guy in the whole wide world with the exotic N7000BDULB3 GB, mate.

Anyway, you can always flash and root and older Rom, then upgrade to whatever you want whilst keeping your root. Here's a little guide to downgrading and rooting I wrote some time ago, hope it helps.
You'll have a rooted KK9 rom after you're done. Then you can download any new GB version (LC1 is the latest) from here and flash it with Mobile Odin, with Everroot and Inject Superuser options ticked. That will keep your root.
Good luck.

Thanks so much, and your posts are one of the easiest to follow and gives a great head start for noobs! Great Job really!
I used this method and now I see a yellow triangle.
1. Will this yellow triangle during boot up, disappear if I follow your unroot method?
2. Will my phone can be updated to ICS once Samsung officially provides upgrade to ICS for Galaxy Note?
3. I tried SetCPU, the phone became very hot, when I over clocked and it just hang. I brought it back to normal.
4. What are all the other useful, important things we can do after root, other than installing Titanium Backup etc.

This might be a stupid question chasmodo so bare with me.
With the KKA firmware when extracted I get the 2 files like you said the .tar.md5 and the dll file.
In odin do i just select the .tar.md5 file under the pda option? or do i have to put the dll file in an option as well.

Do you have Sammy drivers installed on your PC? This is important. From Dr Ketan's guide:
"Install Kies on your computer, connect your phone and make sure that all the drivers installed correctly."

Also make sure that Kies is not running when you are PC Odining (ctrl+alt+del+end process).

the set that seems to be stuck is the setupconnection... should i just close odin and re-try?

Did you start Odin first, then plug your Note into USB slot? Does Odin show the yellow field with the COM number in it?

I have got the yellow com box wich on my computer says com4.
using odin v1.87 instead odin 1.85 like before.
using the firmware like u suggested to downgrade too as well.
seem to fail when it goes to boot.ini and the kernel section just fails there?
Think I should try flash a kernel or something?

Did you follow all the steps as listed? By any chance did your phone take the recent update from AT&T? If it did, the the RDLV method won't work to root your phone.

Others have claimed to be able to root the new update with Kingo. You can give that a shot but proceed with caution, as there have been concerns about it's security. Read twice and root once basically :good:

rooting?

What is easiest and safest way to root. Anyone can point me in right direction or give me step instructions I appreciate. And if u think this is inappropriate to ask sorry.

I have MJ5 firmware. was trying root de lavega but that one is based on MI9. i tried it and it failed. so am searching around for MJ5 odin/sammobile files so can make my own one click root de lavega but cannot find it. any help is appreciated thank you

Just use kingo, nuff said.. It works and all you have to do is download the program and follow the instructions.. Google for source.

am at work so no access to downloads, but will try when i get home thanks. also wasn't Kingo considered a malware?

I totally agree with solarenemy68. I used kingo yesterday and it's awesome. So awesome. Plug and click. PM me if you would like the link

I used - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
Download all the files and start from step 5.
I have a stock MJ5 and was able to root it with that.

What is the model number of your phone?
Mine is the N900A, which is not the model that is supported on the Kingo website.
They say it works on N9006.
I just want to make sure that it's the AT&T one that this works on.
Thanks!

Kingo may send your IMEI somewhere - and also some people have felt they don't get as good battery life after rooting with kingo. A safer way if you don't want to risk your information getting sent out is evilpotatoman's way.
But it is more work than just using kingo

The TOS that you have to agree to to install Kingo states that they send no data of any kind from your PC or Your phone. So if they do send your IEMI somewhere which does not really matter anyways since your IEMI is plastered on every cell tower you have ever connected to they would be in violation of their own TOS and could be sued.

downloading it now. I tried to check ota on NB4 but I keep getting software update interrupted. Hopefully I won't have to keep on relying on others to post the update files in the future. Thanks for the help, wish you would have responded to my first thread on this issue a month ago, but it looks like those update files were recently uploaded.

Best Buy (Samsung) doesn't have the KitKat files yet. I went to my local BB store and they told me that didn't have the official file yet. Also, AT&T will not flash your phone either. I tried that one, too.

Has to be a att service center and both can re flash NB4 for you if you flashed the kk leak you need to do the mj5 restore first then go see them

Verizon SM-T807V (Snapdragon) firmware update and hoping for root soon!

I randomly noticed today that there is a firmware update available for this tab via Kies-- not sure yet what the changes are yet but the upgrade seemed to go smoothly.
I saved the image, extracted the recovery.img and root.img, and posted for Chainfire here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57390437&postcount=690
I'm crossing my fingers hoping he will able able to provide support for this tablet! Being able to get past the kitkat SD card restrictions would be great.
The new version is T807VVRU1ANK1. Kernel version is 3.4.0. I'm not sure if that changed.

thanks for posting this to chainfire, i have this tablet and have been waiting for root!
how long does it usually take assuming they started working on it immediately?

Depending on how well someone can port it. Since cfautoroot is just a custom recovery that installs root. Anyway does this device have unlocked bootloaders?

You have to extract them from a firmware image. Since they're not yet available for download from sammobile.com, you have to wait for a firmware update via Kies. After you follow the prompts to update, follow these instructions to save the firmware: http://androidforums.com/threads/how-to-backup-firmware-from-kies-upgrade-process.458795/
Once you've save the firmware image you can easily extract the files he needs.

Have you had any response from Chainfire?

Unfortunately, no. Looking at the other requests in the thread, it looks like he hasn't provided any updates in well over a month.

Has there been any news of late if roots been achieved yet?

If im correct... Im pretty sure verizon and att have locked bootloaders? I know for a fact that Tmobile doesnt

Anyone tried asking/pming beanstown?

I have read that srs root works for our device, I have not been able t o confirm This yet, I will try it and report back. If anyone has any input I would appreciate it.

I have tried the srs root method twice. It says root successful both times on the pc but on the tablet it DOES NOT have root. I'm on the latest baseband: T807VVRU1ANK1

Try installing super SU, and root checker

Same result for me using both options in the tool.

Thanks for the report, I guess we just have to wait and hope, a lot of these devs are just way to busy to cater to a few of us, but you never know.
