Hey guys!!
I am thinking about rooting my note ....I am bit worried. I have LB2 right now and I am going to downgrade to KL3. Will it affect performance of my note in any way. I have heard that on previous versions of firmwares game performance was not so good. I have latest version so gaming is just amazing. Will it be affected after rooting to lower version? Please note that I am not going to use custom roms. I just need rooted phone. Furthermore, if OTA update is available can I update it over the air even if I am rooted?
Regards,
Abhi.

Yeah there will be some performance issue in the earlier versions hence the newer version of stock roms have been out by samsung. The best you can do is root and then use Mobile Odin Pro and flash the newer stock rom by selecting the option of ever root so that the newer stock rom you are flashing gets rooted in the process of flashing through mobile odin pro!
Cheers!
Hit thanks if it helped!
Thanks.
Got perfect answer. What about OTA udpates? Furthermore, will I face issues with Video camera and other functions on custom roms?

You might be able to get them. But the best bet will be to take the roms from here on xda as you will get to know whether the new one can be rooted or not. So you can then choose to update if you want root and the new rom cant be rootable so you can wait for the root to come and then flash it.
I am currently on custom rom rocket v 23 as seen in my signature. And i haven't faced any of such issues !
I will advise you to go custom as you get to have many options and features. Rest depends on you
Thx buddy. Will do rooting thingy tomorrow and let you know the results.

Thanks Abhi. @mR.fR34ky : I am thinking about doing the same thing. Using stock rom kernel which is already rooted. I don't want to hurt my note by using custom rom. I was reading custom rom thread and ppl are facing lots of problems with that. You have to use patches to fix that. I don't want to go through all this trouble.
Can you please provide me step by step information to root only stock kernel? Will I get OTA updates after this root? I am waiting for ICS. It's going to b awsm. Please check below link:

Hi,
I installed a custom kernel under the latest stock rom. Here is the guide:
http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html
this speedmod kernel looks promising. After installed the kernel you just have to install the super user from play store and titanium backup if you like..

Hello lovely XDA users. Just wanted to ask a few questions about the Note. Im used to Nexus devices and the unlocking and rooting process is usually straight forward, reading up on the Note I got a bit confused lol. So how do you root it? I have read about the ICS leaks bricking phones so I will stick to GB for now, can anyone recommend a good GB ROM? Would like stock Android if possible. One more question, apart from rooting how do you get CWM Recovery on it? Thanks for your help people and I'm really looking forward to getting the Note.
There's a thread in the dev section with pre-rooted firmwares. You can flash any of these with PC Odin and you're rooted. I suggest you flash the European Open or UK version of XXLC1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
If you want to get CWM Recovery as well you need to flash the CF-Kernel for the version of the rom you flashed. So if you flashed XXLC1 you need the CF-Kernel for version LC1.
Scroll to the bottom of this post and download the file for the correct version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18978158&postcount=1
Extract that file, double click the alread-rooted.bat file and it will push all the necessary files to the Note. Once it's done your phone will reboot and you can use CWM Recovery (hold power+home+volume up untill Samsung logo pops up) to flash any rom you like.

Explained like a pro, Thank you very much. Any GB ROM you would recommend? Preferably with Stock Android although I'm guessing you can't use the S Pen apps? Might stick to Stock Touchwiz ROM although I hate it. Any kernel to recommend with a Stock ROM? Thanks for your help.
All the custom GB roms fully support the s-pen because they're all based on official Samsung firmwares, I'm not aware of any custom rom with stock Android UI at the moment. You can always use a custom launcher to at least get rid of TouchWiz. I'm using CheckRomHD V6 and installed NemusLauncher at the moment and I like it a lot. RocketRom V23 is a very nice rom as well though it's a bit of a hassle to flash as you first need to flash V22, do a wipe and then flash V23.
You can even combine custom roms and custom kernels. If you want to be able to overclock as well you can flash for example CheckRom and then flash the AbyssNote 4.2 or FM Kernel 2.0 in CWM Recovery. Or if you go for speed and good battery life you can flash SpeedMod Kernel 2-11.
Basically it's all up to you. Read the threads about the custom roms, choose a few with features you like and just try them for a while. Just keep in mind that there is a slight chance you end up in a boot loop (usually solved by doing a data/cache/Dalvik wipe in recovery) or soft-bricking and you have to start all over by flashing a pre-rooted kernel and CF-Root again, but this applies to any custom rom on any phone.
You said them firmwares are pre-rooted but on the thread it say's they are not directly rootable. ???

Where is this ROM? Sounds good. Any Kernel you recommend with it or just the standard one that's with it? Can you OC with normal kernel?

Does this mean that you want all the stuff that comes initially with your Note?
If yes, then CM9 probably is not the right thing for you. It is devoid of all the
Samsung crapware, plus you don't get native S-Pen Samsung support. This
means no SMemo and similar stuff; you have to use different apps from the
Market instead.
OTOH, if you want a lean, smooth and fast Rom, and are not afraid to do some
tinkering, then CM9 would be ideal for you.

1. CM9 is here.
2. No optional kernels for now, because it contains the only safe ICS kernel ATM
3. No OC either, but you won't be needing it - the kernel is very fast as it is. In
fact, I keep mine at 1.2Ghz. It feels just as quick, and it's somewhat easier on
the battery.
Ok, I flashed a stock GB ROM through odin and I have run the bat file and installed the CF kernel and CWM. How do I flash CM9 and where do I find Reloaded CM9? Thanks you lovely people

Please help me out. I know I shouldn't have done it alone but it was tempting.
I already rooted my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000), and I was trying to install the PhilZ Recovery.
It said on my recovery menu that it was successful, and as I try to reboot my phone it does not show up the Samsung logo like it usually does. After the "Galaxy Note GT-N7000" screen" all it does is enter a black screen. I tried wiping all user data, cache, and Dalvik cache with the PhilZ recovery, but to no avail.
EDIT: It's on ICS 4.0.3
What can I do to restore it back to normal? I didn't flash any custom ROMs or anything, just the recovery. I just got my phone, and I don't want to have to wait to spend for another one. Please help, thanks.

If it's a new phone you shouldn't have too much data on it, so what I would do is just install a custom ROM (There are lot's of them out there for the N7000). Sounds like you can still boot into PhilZ and already wiped the device, so just copy the ROM and necessary files to the phone's SD and install away
You should charge your battery to at least 80% before fiddling with things like that I believe

In Philz main thread there is a topic "Update to all ICS 4.0.4 kernels from 3.71 ---> 3.99:"... these are 4.0.4 Kernels.. Try one of these and check if the phone boots up..
OR
As you have already done wipe data, you may also install a new custom rom like Aryamod...
You wrote that you just got the Note.
So why do you want to stay on ICS and try to install things you obviously do not understand - and risking your device?
Select an JB or KK Custom Rom, follow the specific installation instructions and be happy with your new-born device.

hello everyone! today I just got my Note 3 N900a. with 4.4.2 KK today.I would like to root but I don't really know where to start as I don't want to brick this device. my G Pro is rooted and custom flashed but this is my first time dealing with Knox. so I have a few questions before I dive in:
1. Will Kingo root my Note 3 and not trip knox or UVDLV work better?..what about CF-Autoroot?.I heard sammy caught on so it might not work..but I saw that it will work but still trip knox? i'm rather confused here.. My AP is N900AUCUCNC2.
2. IF I DO GET ROOT PRIVILEGES. I know that I can't flash a custom recovery and there is an ongoing bounty to unlock the bootloader. So is it safe to use safetrap and will it affect knox? Or will safestrap remove my Recovery? (On my old S4 I did the mistake of Goomanagering a recovery and wiped my stock recovery but It still worked fine haha..just couldn't update or it would go into ODIN loop..which I could get out of) I will probably want to flash a custom de-bloated KK TW ROM if I do get the chance. I used safestrap on my old Razr M but is it different now? I sound like a total idiot right now but before the Note 3 I pretty much am a confident android power user but what scares me is that while I was using my G Pro, my friend from work had a Note 3 and he bricked it and now he's stuck using his Note 2. I don't want to make a critical mistake. If a more experienced user could guide me and show me what my options are or what I have to work with I would love you forever! XD

well this is a turn of events..my wife's white note 3 was 4.3 and the black one is 4.4.2. She knows that i'm a frequent rooter and that she was also debating getting the black one at the store. Plus she liked the B&W statusbar colors. So instead so I took her white one. She has the non-rootable 4.4.2 phone (she's not that much of a power user)...so now I have 4.3 to use...is THIS exploitable? my N900a Note 3's AP ends in MJ5.

I know the leaked non-official KK doesn't lock you down to KK and the AT&T version permanently does.

jerrycoffman45 and YRC123 thank you so much for helping me along the way! I have now the S5 experience with a rooted 4.4.2 and I couldn't be happier. I couldn't have done any of this without you. Users like yourself is why I keep coming back to XDA again and again (
Just thought I would throw up a thread regarding the gear vr and a custom rom on the note 4.
A few things to note.
I'm using it on my international N910f in Ireland with zero issues
Custom Rom has no issues (Dr Ketan v2)
My DPI is set to 480 and all of the Oculus apps work perfectly without the need of changing their own DPI's in app settings. (I got the feeling it even looked better, but could have been in my head).
Also, I noticed the Oculus Cinema is now picking up all the content on my My Micro SD card. Not sure if was doing it from the start as I was temporarily using the card the gear vr came with. Can make searching for specific videos annoying if you record a lot of videos yourself.

On the setup process did you create a new oculus account or did you already have one. And when you made a new one did you chose ireland as your country or USA?

Ok thanks, i wasn't sure if there is a region lock on the store and will allow only US users.
I'm also using a custom ROM (FireKatN4) just fine, although I had to flash a new kernel (N4 TMO AEL Kernel) to get it to work. Info is in the XDA FireKat thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../firekatn4v1-4-4-4-tw-anj7-extremely-t2916463
Has anyone tried using the VR on lollipop or cm12?

Which kernel are you talking about? I can't find that...
I am confused. So when you guys put the Note 4 in the Samsung Gear VR... it does not prompt for a carrier software upgrade?

I have a tmobile note 4. When I plug it in, it does not ask for any software upgrade. However, I can't use any custom with gear VR. I have to flash the stock nk4 Odin tar to get it working.

Can you please confirm that you have a T-Mobile note 4? If not then you can mess up your phone.
So if I am reading correctly the VR will work on custom roms if the kernel is compliant? I was running stock rooted, wanted to get rid of the lag in the system and went over to SuperStockRom and now after loading the Gear VR software all I get is a blue screen and after 5 seconds it goes to the home screen but with no movements or menus... any ideas?
i'm loving rooted stock at the moment while i use my VR. all that you have to do is flash the latest(or which ever one you prefer) ael kernel in twrp/cwm over whatever rom you are using. no need to setup anything further than that. here's the link for the ael kernel thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...pment/30-november-2014-n4-ael-kernel-t2961240

No because we are using a coustom Rom thats already upgraded
As long as it's a custom rom based on NK4 or later, then it should work perfectly fine. That being said, some people may be using custom kernels based on older versions, which may causes issues.

You can just flash the generic firmware for the Note 4. It's on Sammobile.com. Or I can PM you a link to one I uploaded(will download faster)

You mean I can just download SM-N910T and upload to the phone via Odin without root?
sammobile.com/firmwares/download/39224/N910TUVU1ANK4_N910TTMB1ANK4_TMB.zip
My setup:
T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4
Gear VR
FireKat V9
AEL Kernel V7.2
No issues whatsoever!
The Gear VR is so freaking underrated when in fact is the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 "Killer App"!
I recognize I had my doubts about this, but now that I'm using it, there's simply no way to describe it!
SIMPLY AWESOME!
Cheers!
