[Q] Couple questions about rooting the Note (total beginner here)

Hello there, I'm still new to this forum but I did read quite alot before I created an account.
So I want to root my phone and flash a (probably still GB) rom on it, but I have some questions first. I did read the guide for rooting.
- First, if I root does the warranty expire? I know there's an unrooting method, but just to be sure.
- I have a subscription by a provider, so my phone is not unlocked. I'm still able to root?
- My kernel version is XXLA6. In the topic for rooting it says this a non rootable kernel, I don't understand. Can I root my phone?
- If so, what method should I use? There are a couple of methods in the rooting topic, but I'm not quite sure which one I need.
- Should I perform a backup? And if so, what is the best way.
Looking forward to read the answers to these questions so that I can (hopefully) begin!

1. yes, your warrenty wil be void. but if you use the "zergRush Exploit" samsung repair will never see you were once rooted, if you unroot it before sending it in.
2. yes
3. Use ODIN to flash a rootable ROM through the "zergRush Exploit". (so you need to download a ROm and ODIN first)
4. download KJ4+ODIN --> use zergRush Exploit (explained in the thread)
5. best method is a "nandroid backup", but you can only do this when you're already rooted (hehe). This is especially handy when you're going to flash ROM's kernels or whatever. (It's like an image of the exact state your phone is in).

Thanks for the answers!!
At answer 4: what's KJ4? I understand I should use the zegrRush Exploit method, so I guess I could just follow each step on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXfDFzQNWxE&feature=youtu.be?
edit: and if so, I should enable the usb debugging mode I guess?
Another question: will I be able to normally update to ICS with my rooted (and with custom rom) phone when it comes out?
Thanks!!

U need to downgrade first to get device rooted.
Kj4 is rootable rom, so first download this(or any older rom)

don't know about this guide... but if you download this official dutch ROM: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/136171858/ca6b62f/N7000XXKKA_N7000XENKK1_XEN.zip.html
And install it through ODIN (select as PDA, and don't check any other box)+put phone in download mode by holding power+home+volumedownbutton): http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=815370&stc=1&d=1323799721 (Password : samfirmware.com)
You'll have a rootable stock dutch ROM -----> root it using the "zegrRush Exploit method" (so you won't lose your warranty).
When you've managed that, check back here!

Alright thanks, will try that first!!

I downloaded everything and ready to begin, but I read somewhere that I need Kies for detecting the drivers or something. Is this necessary? Kies doesn't work on my pc, but my pc does recognize my phone without any problems.
If Kies is necessary I'll have to do this at my parents house lol.

Alright will try thanks!
Hope it goes well !

Rooting went superb!! Also did a titanium backup + nandorid backup to my sd card. So good to go for flashing custom roms! I'm so thankful!! You guys are great.
I do have another question: let's say I want to flash a custom rom on my note, but with a different kernel (franco's for example), how does that work?

Flash the ROM first (because these include kernels). And just flash the kernel on top of that, just make sure you clear the caches before flashing (regular cache and dalvik, dalvik cache is under the 'advanced' tab).

Rooted my Note now it wont boot up

Its been a while since ive been on these forums, i used to root and install custom roms on my X10 all the time..... but a Few days ago i rooted my Galaxy Note, following a tutorial from root galaxy note .com and my phone rebooted fine and after doing a root check my phone showed as being rooted, then last night in bed i installed lcd density and changed the settings upon restart my note is hanging on the Samsung bootup logo, i can get into odin mode where it stays on Downloading...Do not turn off target!!, i can also get it into Android System Recover, but cannot get the method of both buttons and power to work
I have been googling online for the last hour finding an answer and most seem to say i need to reflash the whole phone back to normal in odin but was wondering if there is any easier way to get back up and running especially as i didnt install any custom firmware on my phone
please help ??

This question dosn't belong to dev-forum.
But here's the quick answer:
LCD Density changes only one line that blongs to DPI in build.prop file. But you have to alter 2 lines.
So the quick way to revert your bootloop: go to recovery, make a full wipe and reflash your ROM.
If you want change your DPI: Alter it by manually change the lines in build.prop or grab ROM-Toolbox from market and make the changes.

hi thanks for the answer, when you say your rom ? ive been trying to find a custom uk 4.04 rom for the note for the last 45 mins but cant seem to find one, any ideas where ? also how would i change the build.prop without my phone being able to boot up, is it possible?

subscriber lock

hello.. my xperia x8 was originally subscriber locked and was unlocked by a technician (i ddnt know how and what he did) while being retained on stock and unrooted.
now the question is, will the unlock remain once i flash a custom rom such as ginger dx?
if not, how can i disable the subscriber lock?
thanks in advance for your replies..

Not at all....your bootloder remains unlocked always if it is done properly.

thank you for replying.. i hav more questns tho..
youre saying that the subscriber lock is with the bootloader?
would you consider using x8 toolbox in rooting the phone as proper?

Yes....you probably have unlocked bootloader.....would you minfd to look under the battery for a date number?
turn off phone
take out battery
look at the BACK SIDE of PHONE(not battery)
find something like 11W30 or 10W30 or 12W30...
Write down the number
Why would you want to use toolbox??
PRESS THANKS if someone helped,don't just say thanks

its 11w35. good thing the techncian ddnt brick it.
i want to install a custom rom and root this thats why i might need the toolbox, am i right?

Didn't brick during unlock progress? Sooo lucky!!!
-you can install flash-tools app (latest may not support x8) & download a custom kernel then flash kernel ... (read guides)
Then flash roms from recovery

can you ask your technician what method did he used to unlock it?
Don't install toolbox,download Flashtool
With Flashtool you can:
Root
Flash
Install apps
Clean
Install kernel
Install recovery
And for installing custom rom :
Root via flashtool
install recovery via flashtool
Put custom ROM .ZIP file on sd card
Flash custom kernel
go in recovery via phone(by pressing BACK button)
flash rom
tadaaa...you're done

what i remember is that the techncian used "credits" in unlocking but i'll ask him..
ok. flashtool it is.. im just concerned on losing the subscriber unlock and bricking the phone when installing custom kernels and roms..

Well, according to Xperia Update Checker by Macmol, your device is Movistar Colombia and here is the problem, because it's still with 9.1.A.1.140 firmware.

Sure you can
9.2.A.1.210 is better because it's the last.
If you flash with Flashtool you can't root, because there's not a direct method yet.
The only way to keep root, is flashing a pre-rooted 9.2.A.1.210 via recovery.
FTF files for Flashtool are in General section, instead ZIP files for recovery are in Development section.
Good luck

1) Install recovery
Download here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202175
Take your phone, go to settings, developer options, turn on and select USB debugging.
Connect the phone to PC now.
Unpack CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB.zip
Run install.bat/install.sh
Follow the instructions, remember that your device is V, keep an eye on the display of the phone and give root permission when asked.
After the end of the process, enter into recovery like this: turn off the phone and turn on.
Immediately, try one of this combination:
Press repeatedly (not holding) power button until the phone vibrates
OR
Tap repeatedly the screen
2) Once you're in recovery, make a BACKUP.
So if something will go wrong or simply if you want to go back to 4.1.2 because you don't like 4.3, you will be able to return to the present situation just resuming this backup.
3) Install .210
Remember that you will lose all your data and apps. Instead what is inside internal memory and SD card is SAFE (backup included)
Download and install Flashtool
Download THIS and move it into the directory C:/Flashtool/firmwares
Download .210 zip file HERE and copy it into the internal memory of your phone.
Turn off and go into recovery.
Make a wipe data/factory reset.
Then install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, select .210 zip file.
When it's done, select POWER OFF (be careful, DO NOT select reboot).
Open Flashtool, click on the lightning symbol ("flash device"), select "Flashmode" and click on "OK"
Now select LT25_9.2.A.1.210_1268-6904_FIX4.3 and click on "Flash"
Wait for a window to pop up
Now take your phone, push the volume-down button, keep pushing and connect to your PC
Once the flashing process has started, release the volume rocker as soon as possible
NEVER disconnect the USB cable until it's finished!!!
Turn on and enjoy! :good:

1) If you want to keep root you must download LT25i.210_nor_deodex_root_philz_v1.zip that I linked above, since it's already rooted.
2) When you flash zip via recovery you don't touch the old kernel. You flash only the new system. After that, you need to flash the new kernel, so you need Flashtool with LT25_9.2.A.1.210_1268-6904_FIX4.3
3) When you switch from an Android version to another, a full wipe is always recommended. A partial wiping could give strange behaviours.
Therefore it's better a fresh installation of the app and then (when possible) a resume of the backup offered by the app: for example I'm quite sure that Whatsapp has a backup option within its settings. Use THAT option if possible with any app. Right?

Wipe cache is already included into factory reset.
Wipe dalvik cache is not mandatory in this case... do it if you want
Anyway all wipes will be repeated by Flashtool, so don't worry about that.
In Flashtool you have to change NOTHING, since yours is a brand new installation. Just flash.

works with lock bootloader ?

LOL... I'm not so noob.
Yes my method is for locked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloaders have to flash another kind of kernel.
The kernel you're installing is the original one.
And no, you can't unlock an Xperia V through Flashtool. It's impossible at the moment.
The only way to unlock is getting a code through Sony site!!!
This rule is valid for all 2012 devices onwards.
You're too anxious

Unlocking is mandatory for new Xperia that can't be rooted directly, because they are too new and they've been released with 4.3 or 4.4
We don't have this problem because we have 4.1.2 that is easy rootable, so we can install recovery and do everything we want

During the process does your phone ask for root permission? Do you tap on yes?

During the process does your phone ask for root permission? Do you tap on yes?

Ya there's root already for 5.1.1.
Go to the unified dev section for GS6 and grab the unified kernel. You'll need to unlock bootloader first in dev options then flash the latest TRWP recovery in Odin. Then flash the kernel and you'll have root.that's the version, so take a look at the details before flashing.

Anyone have the stock OF6 G920T kernel, maybe TWRP flashable?

I just uploaded the tar

i rooted my t-mo s6 with the above method, but the phone feature broke... can't hear the person i'm calling at all. i'm not sure if the mic is broke since i cannot hear the person on the other end...
i should have kept the phone on 5.0.2 @[email protected]

I finally have root, TWRP, call audio and data without tripping knox on my stock GS6 5.1.1. I didn't think it was possible. Am I wrong? Has this been done already and I'm just late to the game?

please share the method you used, because when i root my s6 on 5.1.1, i get no call audio...

I'm wondering if it's even worth rooting this phone. Setup wise I was able to disable and hide all bloatware with a $1.50 app. If I could get xposed working with temp root. I'd be a happy camper.

I installed the engineering sboot in download mode with odin, then allowed to restart rom, booted back to download mode, then v3 of the unified Kernel for sm-920T in download mode with odin, booted the rom, back up my efs, installed TWRP v12 (g925t_of6_aou_twrp_recovery_v12) with Flashify, rebooted into download mode and flashed g920t_of6_aou_kernel_v1.tar kernel.
I did get the security manager prompt after the restart but there is a way to freeze that prompt with Titanium Back up. I'm looking for that now

Are you sure you still haven't tripped Knox?

Just checked. KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0×0000) is what it shows. I installed a custom rom (Xtrestolite) and all I needed to do was reflash the second kernel again to get audio back. Fingerprint is the only thing that isn't working so far.
I can post an image of the bootloader screen if you'd like.

Fingerprint scanner won't work cause that bootloader is a 5.0.2 bootloader.

Since Sammy issued a DMCA for the sboot, that's probably not a good idea
