Our dear Chainfire found and developed a new method of rooing and installing a custom recovery for the Samsung Galaxy note, through its "Initial CF-Root flasher".
That's basically a method of free up the device without lose the warranty.
I followed this guide on my SGS2 (with a cf-root kernel for SGS2 naturally) aaaaand...... IT WORKED!!
That's the link of the guide for the Galaxy Note:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
This will be very useful if you don't have a USB JIG and want to keep your great smartphone in warranty! ^_^
NB: remember to use a SGS2 CF-root kernel!
ALL CREDITS TO CHAINFIRE!
Great news. maybe you should let Chainfire know so that he can update his SGSII thread?
Yeah, that's a good idea!
Ignore having a blonde moment
Does this really work yeah.
Im going to try it now, hopefully it works on my i9100p

hi as of today i have a new galaxy s ll coming from the Motorola atrix and i was just wondering what is the best and easiest way to root this phone and any recommendations on roms would be appreciated, thanks a bunch!
chainfire root is the easiest way look for it in the dev section
Yes, CF root is the most easiest yet effective IMO. Download from here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
And I don't like Custom ROM's.
Regards.
I agree and recommend CF-Root.
i recommend cognition S2
and for rooting just use CF-Root

Without ODIN you can't root your phone, unfortunately.
Just flash CF - Root for JVR via ODIN...
thanks buddy .. but this procedure is also ODIn
any particular reason you don't want to use ODIN? I was also warry of using it, but using CF-Root or fuguroot seems to be the 'cleanest' method of rooting your phone currently. There was an APK created by CF, iirc, but that method no longer works on newer builds.
The only solid method of doing it currently is flashing a rooted kernel using Heimdall or Odin. adb exploits like superoneclick don't work anymore...
Not much will go wrong using Odin for just the kernel. Chances of something going wrong are usually when flashing bootloaders and what not.
You could use an insecure kernel if you can find one then superoneclick but that requires flashing too.
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.

Yes,you can...

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.
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 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.

Ok, thanks
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
regards

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.
