Hello Friends
Go to this thread and say thanx to DooMLoRD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
Now u can root our Tab without flashing anything and u can unroot also easily.
This is meant for GT with GB-2.3.3 and no need to use our friend's[chainfire] messy CF root anymore.
PS:I have rooted successfully and installed Titanium pro and have frozen bloatware also.
So if you have 2.3.4/5 then you still need to use cf-root?
Please ask Doomlord in that thread

Please ask Doomlord in that thread if u have any questions.
Read that and other allied threads carefully.I have seen other devices like GS2 with GB 2.3.4/5 have been rooted successfully with this method.
But do not rush in.Think twice before going for it.
Wish u goodluck.
PS:If it works for GB 2.3.4/5,please give here that information.
I can confirm it works on DXJPI Asian gb! This is what I was waiting for!
Thank you to the author.
UPDATE: This is a simple root. Except for superuser and busybox no other app was installed. Furthermore the original stock boot animation remains intact. No CWM also(which I never needed anyway) so the recovery mode is also stock. Doing a factory reset or a change in CSC will NOT HAVE ANY RECOVERY ERROR MESSAGE which were present with CFroot.
REALLY GOOD WORK DoomLoRD!!!!

+1 for this! I finally updated to the DXJPI Asian GB after reading up on this. I didn't like what I read about CFroot and held off updating until I found a better rooting solution. GREAT WORK DoomLoRD and many many thanks!!

Hi I have an I9000 and I have upgraded the OS to 2.3.5 using the stock firmware from samfirmwares.com I think it is using Odin. The question I have and I have googled it and searched and read this and many other forums is can I root my I9000 without flashing CWM and a customer kernal?
On my 10.1 tab I just have a zip file I drop in root and reboot to the recovery menu and update it and it's done. I want the same for my I9000 (just for Titanium backup and SU) and I want to stay on the stock rom.
Thanks
Brian
Nop that isn't possible!
Only way to root 2.3.5 is flashing a custom kernel.

It is not a single-click process but two.
First of all use CF(the least complicated kernel) that applies to JVS to obtain root(from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ) and then flash the stock kernel(from perkas stash-- http://perka.zapto.org ).The result would be your phone has root and only the stock kernel.
Best wishes.
Thanks thats what I wanted I'll do that then. Why do you flash twice though? why CF then perka?
Thanks for your help

Twice because----
1)the CF would root your phone
and since you don't want anything other than the native/original kernel,
2)flash the kernel as suggested.
You could as well not go for the second flash but simply remove the minor tweaks and reboot for them to be removed.
No big deal/difference really.
I have read diff things can someone plz let me know the truth thanks

You can root 3.2.1 if you modify the update and root it before you install it.
obvious you can PRE ROOT A ROM .. Then flash it to your device.. But everyone very well knows that this is not what the OP WAS ASKING.. it was just not worded exactly correctly.The thread you are posting is a pre rooted rom needed to be flashed with special scrips..
THAT IS NOT ROOTING A TABLET WITH 3.2.1 . That is flashing a rooted rom.. totally different thing .

Well, not entirely. If we wanna be really pedantic about it, one can also first root, then make a backup of the SUID binaries and remove write permissions from them, install 3.2.1 stock ROM, then use the backup binaries to re-root

That requires you to flash a ROM though. Pretty sure the OP is wanting to root an already installed ROM, probably stock. AFAIK, you can't do that at the moment.
Hi, I have an Samsung Galaxy S3 updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and rooted with cf-root 6.4 and I would like I have readed that chainfire think that is "better" cf-auto-root so now I would like way mobile odin pro change cf-root to cf-auto-root if this is possible.
Can you help me? I don´t have post for post in the chainfire post and I don´t know if with mobile odin I can put cf-auto-root and how I can do.

Back up your data using Titanium Backup or any other backup tools.
Then flash stock JB firmware, root it using cf-auto root.
Restore data.

Lolz just leave the **** alone. You are already on firmware you want to be and you're rooted....? Leave it alone. No point going through all that work for nothing.
**** delete custom, that is reflash custom recovery with regular one and you got yourself auto root lol. Then when you get to the point that you'll need custom recovery, do it all over again.
Highly suggest you go read again what auto root is and does without blindly thinking it's better and automatically thinking you gotta redo it. You don't!

What's the problems with 6.4 usage on jellybean?
At moment I am having major problems I first thought as nothing, but basically I am seeing increased battery drainage since I updated. I also am having some "wifi suffocation" - Wifi media would just cut and you need to disable and enable wifi to get it working again. I updated a rooted phone via kies and rooted it with 6.4 so I am trying to know if these problems are just my old settings being incompatible, CF root 6.4 and/or BusyBox or just a general NEE Jellybean error...
Thanks to all for your answers. For now I don´t will change until new firmware

No problem whatsoever with cf root. Chainfire simply decided not to make and use custom recovery anymore. So he took it out. Which is his right anyways.
Your counter will still increase with auto root as with original for initial flashing via Odin. After which you can perpetually flash with 'mobile odin', preserving root. Which is probably what he wants and it makes sense for those of us that own it.
Those that want custom recovery for flashing zips will have to flash it separately. Which unless flashing with mobile odin will make the counter show 2 (auto root + recovery) instead of one with original cf root.
For those that care about warranty and Chainfire already hinted he might stop playing cat and mouse with samsung and samsung changes something so that current triangle away stops working...

Sounds good really - and seems like it at least is not CF root that is causing my problems, something is what is making me go through complete wipe and firmware reinstall probably from sammobile source. I hope I get it fixed and it is not something in the firmware itself because the Jellybean IS nice.

i flash directly the cf-auto root from my custom JB by using mobile odin and revert back to cwm due to the fonts too small.
Hi,
I've seen that the recommended way to root the 9500 is to flash the Adam kernel, then install CWM to get the SU application only properly and working. Once CWM is on the phone, is it possible to restore the original kernel and still keep root? I'd like to be able to keep the ability to get OTA updates and stay as close to stock as possible (apart from root of course!).
Regards,
Ian

Chainfire root method is available u can use that below is the link

[GT-I9500] CF-Auto-Root
I guess u need to have root to make CWM work
Also if u want to have OTA I guess u can try installing pre rooted firmware available some where in this forum itself

Thanks for that, I'll try it tonight when I get time.
Can you point me to pre-rooted firmware in this forum? I looked at every thread in the Dev and Original Dev forums and all of them seem customised in some way. All I want at the end of this process (if possible) is a stock, rooted phone. Maybe that might be a better way to go - I'll decide tonight - but I have to find the link first!

Everyone here must be knowing that 4.3 has been leaked for Note2 few days ago.
But I guess everyone didn't upgraded to 4.3 yet because of less info, proper guide or maybe efs issue..So I made this guide explaining each n everything regarding 4.3 you need to know.
Below mentioned are the things explained-
1-Basic info of 4.3 ROM
2-How to root
3-MODs
4-ROMs
5.Reset flash counter
6.How to downgrade
7.Get rid of knox security
Basic Info
Android 4.3 for Note2 is a leaked ROM..so don't expect that it has S4 or Note3 features..But it will be available for sure once its officially rolled out.
So what does this ROM actually is?
1.This is just a 4.3 rom with no new added features or apps..I heard its slightly better than MG1 in terms of battery and performance.
2.It comes with new security feature called "knox security"(for more info regarding knox,google it)
3.It will mount sdcard as 0.This means that all ur data will not be shown in file explorer,u need to manually move it to media/0 folder.
How to Root
Most of the custom rom based on 4.3 fw are pre-rooted.So no need to root them.But for info,follow this-
1.Flash Philz recoveryHere
2.Flash SuperSu1.65 (older won't work)Get it here [thanks to @dr.ketan for this]
MODS
Follow dr.ketan's well explained guide below-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467009
ROMS
1.Pre-rooted rom (thanks to @dr.ketan)
2.Thunder KitKat Touchwiz 4.3
3.WanamLite
4.AngryRivelation
Reset flash counter
-Download Stock Recovery
and copy to SD card Int/Ext
-Flash and reboot
-Use Triangle away 3.05 to reset counter. (again thanks to @dr.ketan)
Downgrading to 4.1.2
No issue in downgrade.
-Leaked 4.3 installed and rooted -> unrooted from SU -> rooted with prerooted ->No issue -> downgraded to MG1 (I had to wipe after downgrade, but no other issue) -> again flashed prerooted
So i have tested for both downgrading as well prerooted have no issue in root.
(copy-pasted from doc's guide)
OR
U can easily restore your nandroid backup of 4.1.2 rom directly from 4.3..if there's imei issue,flash 4.3 modem..it should fix the problem
Getting rid of knox security
Since KNOX is on this leaked firmware;
ROOT your N7100
Download ES FILE EXPLORER
Set root access in this app.
Goto system/app folder, and press search
Type Knox
Rename the Knox .apk files into .apk.bak
Reboot and Knox is killed (thanks to @rayblo for this)
OR
Open titanium backup app
search "knox" in search box and freeze all knox apps..(my own discovery)
Note-
I made this guide after reading all threads regarding 4.3 and then published it..I just compiled each one of them and assembled guide and info here..If I am wrong somewhere kindly PM me and i'll fix it.or u can comment below with your suggestions,things to be added,corrections etc. Please do not post nasty comments if i'm wrong somewhere..instead help me make this better by giving suggestions
More stuff will be added when something new arrives or some kind member helps me out
Reserved
Reserved for future
thnx will add this to leaked topic!!

Don't Link prerooted ROM directly, instead link to thread so user can get support.

Simply why you are not using your brain rather making copy paste.
-Downgrading method you have described is basically My answer to how i have tested prerooted ROM, all these is not required to do, and any newbie will follow this and end with mess up.
-How to flash recovery after copying to SD card ?
