Root with stock kernel? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there no way to simply do this? I like to stay stock on my daily driver, but I kinda need root. Not possible to just flash TWRP and then SuperSU zip? Wouldn't this accomplish what I want to do?
Thanks for your replies!

Havent looked at rooting my note 5 yet but yes. If root is possible then everything is usually stock based untill u start flashing other stuff. I normally run stock roms with my rooted phones. Rooting in itself usually doesnt changed kernals.
Whenever updates come out just wait a couple days and flash the "stock rooted roms" to keep everything stock based

VZW Galaxy Tab Root 2.3.5?

I have tried Superoneclick latest version with zergrush. Hangs on step 7. I would like to root my SCH-I800. Anyone shed some some light on this? Even a manual root via adb?

Will CF-Root work? If which file?
same here: no joy with either latest superoneclick or with the pure zergrush.
vzw may have patched that exploit
:/
I mean I can put it back to stock and not update it. Just seems a lot more stable with 2.3.5. More fluid and faster. I originally had 2.2 and rooted manually. Now seeing new update, I reset to stock and downloaded both updates to 2.3.5. No dice on any root method yet. I see CF-Root as method but our device is considered old by latter means? Also my kernel string only gives "2.6.35.7". Hopefully soon...
If you flash the kernel from my Cubed 3 ROM it will allow you to adb push the root files.

Can/should we flash the recovery as well? Is it possible to flash back to the stock kernel and/or recovery after rooting?
BTW, I really like your ROM, I just prefer to stay a little closer to stock. Thanks a lot for all the help you have provided us VZW Tab owners!
EDIT: I just now saw your rooted stock ROM in the development forum. That is really awesome, thanks! But, if possible, I am still interested in rooting the device without having to reflash the entire ROM and losing data/settings in the process.
Any update on this? Suggestions?
Just need to root, not change the ROM (yet!)

[Q] Firmware upgrade

OK, this is my second post on XDA, but I'm finding it a little more difficult to get to grips with the Note and its workings, coming from my HTC Desire.
I'm currently on Kernel version KKA, and have read Dr. Ketan's guide about how to root your device, which seems very straightforward. My phone is prompting me to download a new firmware, which I assume would make it more difficult to root, as it would have a newer kernel than the one I currently run, so I have held off for now.
My question is, if I root and want to apply the firmware update, I assume I can do this manually, and would obviously prefer to maintain root, rather than downloading over the air, which would remove my root. From what I've read, I assume I could do this with Mobile Odin Pro, but could I also apply a pre-rooted version of the new firmware, and if so, which is the firmware I should use?
Like many of you, I am waiting for the official ICS upgrade before I mess around too much with my device. Thanks for any advice you could give.

why would you wanna search for pre-rooted rom when u can keep rooted in all stock rom with just few easy steps???? Its very easy with CWM !
Yes exactly agree to priyanv
You have kka rootable ROM, just root n get cwm.
Then you can update any ROM, either with mobile odin or cwm
Just want to advise somthing, but b4 that just decide, which rom you want to update after rooting.

[Q] Now definitely confused

hello guys
I confirm i'm confused now and don't know how to do.
when the first ROM of ICS went out (LPY) i was so excited that i'm flashed it but i can't use the phone cause the battery can stay for one day even 5 hours.
after rezding several (concerning the brick bug) I went back to gb (following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025&highlight=direct+dl) through mobile odin and the phone is working.
Now there is a plenty of ICS ROM LPY,LP9 etc etc.
I want know to back (to the future) to ICS but still afraid of this brick but.
Can someone tell me how is possible to move to ICS ?
One more question can we mix pda phone modem from different rom
what brick are you talking about? the only bug im aware that causes brick is the one on cf root and CWM backing up and restoring... you can safely flash isc trough odin and it will work just fine
Thank for your quick reply
Correct me if i'm wrong (very newbie on android and sgn) I just have to download one of the ics Rom (N7000XX###) and flash it without cwm and root option cause right now i have cwm and root.

Flash from Mobile
You can use "Mobile ODIN to flash keeping Ever root and Inject Super user checked" or "use CWM to flash and select CF-root kernel" to keep root and SU intact with the new ROM.
Try any of the safe custom ROMs. PA, Asylum etc.. They are allow awesome but nothing beats PA for me. Once you use AOSP, you would never wanna go back. They are much much much better than the crappy stock GB-looking ICS.

cf-root or cf-autoroot?

Hi at all,i have found two walkthrought for rooting my phone. One use cf-root and one cf-autoroot. Someone can tell me the difference?and what's the best?
It's in the first post of probably where you found the walkthrough...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
Anyway, autoroot is more for people like me who don't want to mess around with flashing custom ROMs. So, it gives you root access to install root apps, but keep the stock ROM that came with phone.

i think that i will change my rom with some custom after a while,but fir the firsts times i want continue to use the stock rom. So i must use cf-root?
I believe you can still install CWM to flash ROM after using Autoroot. But if you plan to flash ROMs might as well go for CF root instead.
thanks

Going to lollipop

So I'm in nc2 and wanna jump up to a new rom. Thinking alliance, biggins or Arya mod. What all are you guys running and how'd you do it? I can seem. To find the thread on how to do it. Did you use safestrap or flashfire? If you used flashfire, how do you use that? I must have the stupid on the search here lately...

You got it easy.
Root with towelroot, Install SuperSU, Install Busybox, Install Safestrap 3.75. Done.
Reboot to safestrap and flash what you need. Don't worry about flashfire, you probably won't ever need to use it. Or at least out of my experience I've not had to use it. (For the note 3 that is)
I'm much more versed in rooting and roms than you assume. I'm on dk7.1 and have odind many times. Just curious as to the actual process of switching to lp. And what would need done to go back to kk if necessary
Sent from my SM-N900A using Tapatalk
Before you flash, just back up your kk rom. And then when you flash the rom, make sure to flash the kk kernel so safestrap is still accessible

It doesn't matter what ROM you are currently on you can always odin back to NC2 and then upgrade to NL1 or OC1/2.
Examples:
If you're on OC1/2 and want to go back to NL1, you would full odin back to NC2, re-root and such. Then flash a NL1 based ROM.
If you're on NL1 without root and want OC1/2, full odin back to NC2, re-root, etc. Then flash a OC1/2 based ROM.
I've never even head of nl1. And Don you need to flash the kernel and radio or is just the kernel necessary?
Sent from my SM-N900A using Tapatalk
It depends on the ROM you plan on going to.
AllianceROM v12 doesn't require a kernel flash
UrDroid Stock Deodexed requires an OC1 flash (optional OC2 patch available)
OC1 is 5.0
OC2 is a security patch for OC1
NL1 is 4.4.4
NJ2 is 4.2.2

Are you sure about alliance? I tried to flash that and got stuck on the Galaxy Note 3 screen
Sent from my SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I've ran Alliance v12 more than a few times on both my phone and my girlfriends phone, I've not once had to flash a kernel if you get stuck reboot into the stock recovery and look at the top, if it says OC1 then your on the right kernel. But flashing it definitely won't hurt anything.
This is taken out of the changelog for AllianceROM v12
ROM will automatically flash OC1 Kernel so after install, just hit reboot.

Also make sure you're on version 3.75 for Safestrap.
i have done this many times over within the past hour and safestrap wont install... i have used these exact steps b4 last year but it just wont work now....
