Hello XDA,
I know there are lot of guides on how to root the Galaxy Note ,but unfortunately I have not seen a guide that is clear enough to beginners that know nothing about Android. So, after hard work I have done a guide on how to root the Samsung Galaxy note and put it in your hands.
Note:I Have Also Made A Picture Full Guide So, IF This Guide Wasn't Clear For You, You Can Go HERE
Introduction:
Today, I will guide you on how you can root your Samsung Galaxy Note Gt-N7000 that has ice cream sandwich and Jellybean Android firmware. We have two ways for rooting this device. The first one is very simple because it involves install an app then get root from that app.The other method is rooting via stock recovery, it will also install a safe kernel and ClockWorkMod recovery.
Disclaimer:
I’m not responsible if something went wrong on your phone(Usually nothing goes wrong), you’re doing this on your own responsibility.
Rooting your device will void your warranty.To know more about rooting check What is rooting and it’s top 10 benefits.
Backup your Data like contacts and apps so IF something bad happened you will be prepared.
All these methods WONT trigger the yellow triangle.
Remember:.
it's Always better to backup your device before proceeding with any of these methods.You can also always check my article about How To backup Every Android Mobile Phone
Method1:Rooting via installing an application:
This method is very easy and simple but not recommended because you will have to patch the exploit (the bug) that allowed you to root which Might make your camera stop working but the camers will also work again after you unpatch the exploit. Also, this will change your phone status to modified. So, only do this if you are sure that you want to root your device easily.
Step1:Download the apk(the application) from Chainfire Original Thread.
Step2: After you have finished downloading the app. Install it by going to the directory you download it to, then click on it. If you got this error message
Go to Setting-> Security-> Tick “Unknown Sources”
Step3: Now open the app and click “Root device”. As showen.
Step4:Now you will get this screen so click “Grant”.
Step5: Now your device is rooted but,for Security reasons you have to tick “Disable Exploit” & “Disable Exploit on boot”. IF you had any issues with the camera than untick these options.
Step6: Now close this app and go to you app drawer where you will find a new app called SuperSu,click on it and when it opens it will ask you to update the binary so tab on “Continue”.
Finally this means you are rooted,Hooray!
OR
Method2:
Rooting with Stock Recovery+Safe Kernal + CWM Recovery: [recommended]
Requirements:
1-You will need to download the kernel based on your rom from HERE (Download the .zip file only). You will find the kernel version in the “Setting-> About phone”. If you found problems to find your kernel don’t hesitate to ask.
Let’s Start:
Step1:Copy the .zip file to your External SD card
Step2: Now shutdown your galaxy note completely. Then, boot into recovery mode by holding the volume up+ the home button, Now press the power button ONLY for 5 seconds.(Keep pressing the Volume up +Home button after you see your phone model screen)
Step3:After then you will see the recovery menu,Now choose “install update from External SD”. And choose the .zip file we downloaded earlier .
Step4:Then choose yes. Now your phone will install the root. After your phone reboots you should see SuperSu app in your app drawer.
Hooray You’re ROOTED
NOTE:This method will root your phone + install CWM recovery but if you wanted to only root then follow method 3.
Method3:Rooting with Stock Recovery:
NOTE: This method could brick your phone if you wipe your data\factory reset. So, make sure you don’t wipe data\factory reset. Or root using method 2.
Requirements:
Download these files:
1- Root_Busybox_1.20.2.zip
2-Root_SuperSU.0.95-FreeSpace.zip
Let’s Start:
Step1:Copy both files to your External SD card
Step2: Now shutdown your Galaxy Note completely. Then, boot into recovery mode by holding the volume up+ the home button, Now press the power button ONLY for 5 seconds.(Keep pressing the Volume up +Home button after you see your phone start.)
[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"[SIZE="4"]]Step3:[/SIZE][/COLOR]After then you will see the recovery menu, Now choose “install update from External SD”. And choose the “Root_SuperSU.0.95-FreeSpace.zip” file we downloaded earlier .And choose yes.
Step4:Now go back to the main recovery menu,Aslo Choose “Install update from External SD” And choose the “Root_Busybox_1.20.2.zip” file we downloaded earlier. After your phone reboots you should see SuperSu app in your app drawer.
Hooray You’re ROOTED

Great guide
As the title says, great effort!! I personally followed another guide about 6 months ago but this definitely makes it concise and easier to follow with little prior knowledge.
install the exynos abuse app and just click a button and ur rooted.

Hi, my phone is rooted following method3 without busybox. My question is can I proceed with method2 straightly or should I undo what I already did (uninstall superSU for instance)?
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can install Philz kernel from where you are.
Using method 2 encountered bootloop
Reflash speedmod solved the problem.

Kernel question
Hi!
Just came along this guide to rooting and it seems simple enough. I just wanted to ask something about the philz kernels.
I saw on the Phils kernel page that there are numerous versions for a single kernel (eg: XXLRI-AUT ver 2.7 then there is the newest i think which is the 3.99)
If ever I will be flashing that kernel do I need to use the oldest version then work my way up to the newest?
Thanks in advance!
Ngeshuu
You do not need an oldest if you want to flash
A philz kernel 3.99

Thanks! one last question, do i need to downgrade back to GB? ive got the 2 ics updates via OTA and ive read somewhere here that some people need to reset back to GB. :cyclops:
Thanks
Currently my phones volume rockers do not work. I've been running on an old ROM that seems to be slowing down,requiring me to reboot more frequently. I'd really like to update to a newer ROM, but I'm worried if I have any issues I can't force my phone into recovery with the power button + volume down combo.
I am very close to just doing an insurance claim on this though. I have a crack on the bottom right of my phone too. That way I can hop on the T-Mobile Jump program
Adb reboot recovery
will let you get into recovery without using the volume buttons.
There are also several apps that will let you reboot directly to the recovery if your already rooted
Such as quick boot (reboot)

I think I was more worried about if my ROM install didn't go well and it won't boot all together. Before I could still just go into recovery and re-install. If that happens now? adb recovery?
Hmm. Thinking more. As long as a rom boots you are ok. But if you got stuck at a boot loop before you can use adb, you are screwed

Unfortunately I do not believe there is a way to boot into recovery without the volume buttons unless you are booted into the system. Have you considered restoring to stock and trying for a warranty replacement?
Look above.

Awesome. thanks!
for those who are like me and haven't felt the need to root their phone or use a custom recovery, the process below worked to update an unlocked, un-rooted, stock AT&T moto x. this is probably available elswhere on the forms too.
- copy the zip into "download" on the internal storage
- boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power together
- at the bootloader screen, use volume down and scroll to "recovery", then press volume up to select it
- in recovery mode you will see "no command". hold volume up and press power to show the recovery menu
- use volume down to go to "apply update from sdcard" then press power to enter
- you should be at "choose a package to install", use the volume buttons to highlight "download/" and press power
- use the volume buttons to highlight the zip and press power
the update will start. it took about 5 minutes on my device. when it finishes, use volume keys to select "restart system" and press power. device will restart and you're done.
for unlocked bootloader we'd have to delete superuser to install this, correct?

No, you don't need to uninstall superuser. If you use xposed, make sure you uninstall the framework (no need to uninstall the modules).

I get to this point and nothing happens.
- in recovery mode you will see "no command". hold volume up and press power to show the recovery menu
Only thing I can do is long press power to reset the phone

I tied to flash via recovery, but the verification check didn't complete. the email.apk didn't match. I removed it when I updated to 4.4.
I flashed down to 4.2.2 from 4.4 and rerunning slap my moto because I am rooted, but no su binary. lol
For those who had issues taking the OTA. You have 2 options that I see.
Removing the verification lines from the updater script. Don't know if that will work or what it will do.
or
Reflashing to 4.2.2 via RSD Lite. The write protection is still 0. using slapmymoto again and updating via OTA to 4.4. You will lose all data. I used to titanium back up and stored my stuff to the my box drive.
I am installing 4.4.2 via recovery from the OTA i downloaded this morning and I don't have that stupid email.apk issue. The system update says i am up to date so I had to do this way.

Excuse my not knowing, but I just came to the forums here to peek around and see about this, since I'm on AT&T. If I uninstall the framework and take the update, what do I have to do to enable xposed after the update? Do I have to reinstall the framework every reboot?

Redownload the framework install app. Is what I did after I eventually got it to update to 4.4.2 lol

Additionally, you also want to ensure that your /system is not write protected. If your bootloader is not unlocked, /system partition will most likely be write protected, so XPosed will not work until you do a soft-reboot (from the installer app) every time you restart your phone.
I just figured that out hahaha

First you root using ioroot 25. It's extremely easy and there are instructions in the thread. Then I suggest using AutoRec to install TWRP 2.7. Again, very easy and instructions in the thread.
Then when you are ready to install the rom, you reboot into recovery. If you don't have an app or mod to do it for you, then you can do it manually. Turn off your phone, then hold volume down and power button till the lg logo appears. When that happens, you release the buttons and immediately hold them again. You will see a window asking if you want to factory reset your phone (as long as your recovery is properly installed, then there's no need to worry). Press power 3 times and it'll boot into recovery.
Now you can install your rom. The rom thread probably have instructions as well. It's probably something like wiping dalvik, system, data and cache. Then install the zip(s).
I hope this helps. I didn't go into too much details because there's already instructions in the respective threads and it's usually fairly straight forward and most screw ups can easily be fixed. Just remember to double check anything you install matches and is compatible with your specific model so you don't brick your phone. That's all. You should be fine.

If you have Titanium Backup like so many others, there is a reboot to recovery in options. I use it all the time.

Nice. I didn't know that. I use G2 tweak box to add it as a reboot option. But it's nice to know for other devices without that xposed module.

I'm glad to hear that.
Edit: I actually forgot something in the "guide". A bit of an oversight from me. Always make nandroid backups. They can be a huge life saver. It can be done within the recovery... Or the easier way: install online nandroid backup. You can also schedule backups with that.

I have a spare Samsung Galaxy S4 that I don't remember the security info for.
I'm trying to use my other S4 to disable my pattern on my spare...

Try fastboot
get fastboot then type in
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Ok. I'll give it a shot. Thanks
Just enter stock recovery and wipe data, turn phone off, hold volume up, home and power buttons at same time, when phone comes on release power button but continue to hold the other 2 and phone will boot into recovery mode, wipe data and reboot!!! Back to fresh start!!!

One can also use a tool created by an xda contributor built on aroma. It is called Dr. Megan's Multitool I think. It gives u all kinds of options including flashing Rom, modem, kernel, boot loader, custom recovery, apps etc and gives u an option to disable passcode. No data loss involved.
