Benefits of referring to this Guide
One stop for someone coming from stock rom ( so from rooting till flashing all steps covered)
To the point at the same time detailed instructions
All custom ROMs (TW/MIUI/AOSP/CM/AOKP) covered
All relevant links posted for ready reference (like ROM list, Rooting guides etc)
AOSP/Cyanogenmod/AOKP based ROMs:
Step - 1
Read... Read and then Read... :
It’s always helpful to do a Google search a bit before you decide to flash a ROM. Read a little about Rooting, Custom ROMs like AOKP/CM10/CM10.1 and how they are different from your Samsung provided ROM. It will help you to be aware of potential risks attached and the benefits it brings to the table. It will also save a lot of time later, which you may spend wondering why a particular thing is not available or not in the same manner as it is on your stock ROM. And on the way you may pick up some handy tips such as CM10 would require your external sd card to be formatted to fat32, exfat won’t work etc.
So, PLEASE READ..
If you have read enough and decided to flash a custom ROM, then the tool in the below mentioned post will help you to root your Note II N-7100.
WARNING:
FLASHING A CUSTOM ROM MAY RAISE YOUR FLASH COUNTER AND WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. IMPROPER FLASHING MAY POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. SO PLEASE PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. ME OR ANY OTHER DEVELOPER MENTIONED IN THIS POST WILL ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAME.
Step - 2
Root your Note II:
Rooting gives you absolute authority (and shall I mention responsibility too ) over your device to deal with it the way you decide. You want to modify, flash a custom ROM or remove system app bloatware etc, you will need root rights. There are two safe methods to choose from for rooting your Note II:
1. Mskip’s Note II GSM toolkit
2. Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root
In case you have already rooted your Note II and have a working custom recovery, then please ignore Step -2.
Ensure you have a working custom recovery:
Please ensure you have a working custom recovery like Clock Work Mod (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) recovery on your Note II before you proceed with flashing any ROM. Aforementioned Toolkit will give you option to root with CWM. So ensure you do that. Working recovery means that you have tested the recovery and it works fine. To check this, you may flash any small CWM flashable zip.
Step - 3
Back Up:
Its always advisable to do a nandroid backup of your existing ROM, just in case anything goes wrong while flashing new ROM or you wish to revert back for any reasons. This backup option, saves everything including ROM, settings, apps and data as it is at the time of backup.
For doing Nandroid backup,
1. Enter into recovery mode (3 key combo viz. Vol up + Home + Power or any app like ROM Toolbox lite )
2. Go into Backup and Restore (You can use vol up & down to scroll and power key to select)
3. Select Backup
Backup will take place and when it finishes, you will be back to options. Choose reboot now.
If you only wish to backup your applications, you may use paid apps like Titanium Backup Pro which can backup app + data (Please be aware restoring app + data may result in app fcs on some ROMs and developers generally advise restoring only apps).
Alternatively, you may use a simple free tool available on playstore called App2zip . It creates a flashable zip of all apps which you want to backup and places on your internal sd card. Its recommended to keep a copy of this zip on external sd as a safety measure. After you have installed your new ROM you can simply flash this zip from recovery and you get all your apps back. Please note, app data will not be backed up.
It is highly recommended to keep a copy of all backup files (Nandroid, Titanium or App2zip) on your PC.
Step - 4
Download compatible ROM:
Please ensure you have downloaded a ROM which is compatible with your device. Since your device is Note II N-7100 you should ensure you download a ROM which is compatible with Note II N-7100. Flashing ROM meant for any other variant or device may potentially brick the device.
Please refer here for available ROMs for N7100. ROMs and Kernel Repository - N7100
Once you have downloaded the ROM compare the MD5 sum of downloaded file with that of one given on download site. MD5 sum helps you identify any probable data loss issue which might have happened during the download process and as a result of which you might be at a risk of flashing a incomplete/inaccurate download. To mitigate this risk, simply check MD5 sum (This can be easily checked with the help of ES file explorer/ Root explorer apps) and compare it with MD5 given on download site. These 2 minutes can save 2 hours of re-flashing for you
Step - 5
Download JB gapps:
Please ensure you have latest JB gapps downloaded on your sdcard (internal or external) before you start flashing ROM. You can download it from goo.im. In case, anyone of you wishes to be able to sync Picasa web albums to Gallery/Quick pic, look for gapps-jb-picasa-XXXXXXXX-signed.zip from goo.im These will have to be flashed after you have flashed JB gapps first.
Step - 6
Do a clean install/Full wipe:
What is clean install/Full wipe? Clean install/Full wipe means installing with 3 wipes, viz.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache (Under Advanced menu )
All of these options can be found under recovery mode. A clean install almost assures of a hassle free installation. It ensures there are no residues of previous ROM, which may conflict with current ROM & cause some painful disruption in operations. Thus, for smooth operation of new ROM full wipe is strongly recommended.
Step - 7
Flash the downloaded ROM zip:
Please read instructions of OP of the ROM you are flashing, at every flash. It’s possible that flashing instructions may change, so don’t assume that since you have flashed earlier version of same or similar ROM in a particular way it’s going to be same. To flash downloaded ROM -
Enter recovery mode ( I hope by now you know how to do that)
Select install zip from sdcard (it will be in the folder where you placed or downloaded it, so look for that folder)
And then select - Yes - Install xxxxxx.zip
After install has finished, you will be back to options. Do the following -
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik cache
Time to flash, JB gapps...
Repeat the same procedure as flashing ROM but this time instead of ROM zip select the JB gapps zip which you had downloaded. In case, you need Picasa sync flash that zip after you have flashed JB gapps. Do the following -
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik cache
Fix permissions
Please do not forget to flash gapps or else you will not find Play Store, when you boot up your ROM.
REBOOT... and you are good to enjoy CM10/AOKP based ROM on your Note II :good:
Please note S-Note or other Samsung apps won’t work on Cyanogenmod/AOKP or for that matter any other ROM which is not TouchWiz based.
There are enough and able replacement apps available on play store, please feel free to use them. If you find some apps really good, please pm me so that I can share it with other users as well.
Samsung/ Touchwiz (TW) based ROMs:
If you don’t want to miss Samsung proprietary features then you may consider rooting your phone and using a Samsung based custom ROM with it.
All steps except the one's related with gapps remain the same. You do not need to flash gapps separately on Samsung/Touchwiz based ROMs.. In a nutshell, DO NOT DOWNLOAD & FLASH GAPPS IF YOU ARE FLASHING A SAMSUNG/TOUCHWIZ BASED ROM
If you follow these instructions completely, it is very unlikely that you face any difficulties.. You should be comfortably enjoying a custom ROM on your Note II
If you have got any suggestions, please feel free to post it in the thread.

Negative... I won't advise you doing so... why not wait for some more time? I know few developers who are working closely on N7105.
Excellant guide and everyone flashing should read. If in doubt search and of still in doubt ask

You probably want to indicate that on CM10 ROMS your external SD needs to be in format fat32 before flashing or else SD card can be corrupted.

Good guide compilation. Think you need to give a small warning about the counter increment and reset. Also, warn abt the counter being reset on each boot on custom recovery....just to avoid future blames coz that is the only major drawback in the current scenario.

Everytime a need upgrade is out people with a modified device need to download at least 800mb to have the upgrade the even if the update is small...so I would like to know if at every ota update users may provide the ota zip like this we can flash it with mobile Odin and avoid the pain in the neck of downloading a large file with hot file !
Am I the only one to have this idea ? Is it possible ?
Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9300 avec Tapatalk
Usually it,s more than a few MB, and it's very rare it's not a lot. the last update had almost 10k changes, many... what with file signing and such it's easier to to just grab the lot.
Yeah but anyway usually the file size is around 250-300 mb not 800mb

I agree. Hot file is so slow by the time it finishes downloading my file is cold!!!!
Thanks for this thread mate!!
I am looking for something similar
OTA often says to me that the Auto updates are being pushed in the order they were requested and if I try to update thru kies, it downloads atleast 1GB of data for me (atleast for XXELLA it did)
and I heard this update thru OTA is oly 21+ MB!!!
looking for a workaround for this.
I remember that ota files were provided by someone for the first jellybean leaks and the file were only 250mb
Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9300 avec Tapatalk
It won't work with modfied ROMs as the OTAs also patch files, and those pathces dont work with modified files, also the OTA checks system, kernel and recovery to be unaltered before it's actually performing the update (it'd just cause tons of softbricks if it didn't and would run on a modified system).
Further more, OTAs are flashed via (stock) recovery, not Odin.
You can flash ota files with mobile Odin so it would work I think

Who NEeds Help To get to KitKat?
If you are already Rooted..... Go here to Civ.'s thread and you can flash his rom and get the Kernel while you are there.
All of the instructions are in the threads. They are as close to perfect as we can get.
**as of 6/18/2014 after flashing I would keep checking back until you see that the issues are all resolved and pay attention tothe threads and read, read read, read them and make a back up before you do anything....
Good Luck With Kit Kat!!!
If you are not currently rooted, please send me a note or make a post and we can figure out where you are and what you can do to get rooted.
Please Make Sure that you know what your firmware is BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING LISTED BELOW!! basically, you need to know what you are doing before you start.
We have KitKat OTA out there so if you use any of the Jelly Bean Stuff you can BRICK your device.. Take HEED!!!!
First and foremost I take No responsibility for anything that happens to your Tablet, Phone. Rooting will invalidate you warranty, so do so at your own Risk. If you make a brick, paper weight or anything else out of your phone, Tablet, Phablet, I take NO responsibility.
I take NO credit for anything that has been developed, I am simply putting things in one place for all of us to find easier.
Jelly Bean Stuff Only Below!!!! Make sure that you know what version Rom you are on!!!!
(Have you taken Heed?)
Take a Stock ROM and Make it Customized...!:silly:
If you are new here, This is a nice Glossary of Terms put up by droidstyle and created by Jawman27 , Big thanks to them for setting this up...
Most everything I have found is pretty east to do for even the most novice of users. There are a few things that will cause anxiety, but what I have found it that most of the dev's are really good at listing instructions on how to use the magic they have so freely given. Read, Read and Read again till you understand the instructions...!
If you don't understand ask questions in the OP's thread and I am sure that the dev or others in the thread will give you sound advice and clear up any misconceptions. If you ask your questions here I will do my best to answer, but you are always going to find the most relevant information in the Thread of the OP. This is a Thread for you to see what is available out in the world...
With that being said I am setting up this thread here in this forum because there are slim pickins around here and we have a ton of stuff available to use that most are not aware of in the Galaxy Note 8 world. Some of what I have found that works here on the Note 8 (5110) I found in Other forums for other devices. Lot's of things are Compatible, some are not. Remember to choose wisely if you did not see it here in this thread and you don't know if it works.
I can only speak to the GT-N5110 because I own this device. Once others with Other Devices post with success stories then I can say that this will work with them.
If you found something that works that didn't come from the Galaxy Note 8 Forum, Post it and give a little instruction on what you have done that might differ from the OP from which it came. If it does come from this neck of the woods then post it with a link to the op and I will incorporate it in the the OP if it makes since.
Please don't rewrite the instructions here, If you are not the developer then let them speak for themselves. Post a link to the OP
Everything I post here in the OP I have tried and have succeeded in doing... Please if you succeed then post we want to here about success and if you have a failure so we can look at what happened and make sure that I/we all understand what is going on...
And we're off! ( Please note that these lists are never complete. this is a work in progress, so if you find something add it so we all can benefit from it. )
ROOT
How to Root your new device.
This is what I used initially...
I used Chainfire's thread located here in the Galaxy Note 8 Original Android Development Section. Chainfire is the Man, many props for all of his hard work. Buy his apps if you use them and like them... I did!
We also have mskip Galaxy Note 8 Toolbox. I use this applicaiton. I paid for the premium version because it is a way to give back to these guys for their hard work. If you use it and love it pay for it... (I did.)
Take a look, read the OP, re-read the OP and when you get back let us know how you did, what you did when you did it...
**New Update 8/6 Here is a New Root Process for the GT-N5120. This was put together by Slipurson. Check out his post. This was done with a Windows 8.1 PC with out running in compatibility mode, so keep that in mind if you are using a different version. This will be for GT-N5120 the LTE version only. Big thanks to Slipurson for your work on this!
Follow Directions carefully and you will come out with a rooted device!
UNROOT
I found out a few things about the process when you UNroot. I just had to unroot my Note 8 and put it back to bone stock...
Now If you have to do this, I would suggest going to SuperSU > Settings > Uninstall for UNRoot. If you do not do this and use Odin to flash back to a completely stock Rom. you might get your self into a bootloop... Not a tasty cereal, just a frustrating issue that will cause some slight irritation...
If you find yourself in a boot loop after doing what I just suggested not to do then You will want to flash Chainfire's CF AutoRoot. If you have any questions, please hit me up first before you make a brick!
Here is the only method that I have found so far. Big thanks to janjannsen99 for getting this together. THis will take you back to the original version 4.1.2. As soon as we get the next release 4.2.2 I will post a link to it.
** Note** If you need help above and beyond what is in janjannsen99 thread, post it up and I will see what we can accomplish...
Recoveries I back up after I back up and then I back up twice! (credit 2 Sublime)
Look in the Original Android Development you have a few to choose from.
Some like TWRP some like CWM. It is wise to have access to both, some roms or other flashables may be dependent on which recovery that you use. So remember to read the OP and the thread of what you are about to flash and see if there is a mention about it. If no mention then I wouldn't worry to much about it. Just as a rule of thumb make sure you have a nandroid back up before you flash anything...
1. here is a link for TWRP. Thank you to emwno for his work on bringing this together. Please read the OP in his thread... I use this and have had no issues...
2. Go Here for CWM. Thank you to emwno for his work on bringing this together as well...
Stock ROMs~~
TW ROMs
1. JellyBeans from beanstown106 here For JB 4.2.2 N110 wifi only... CMG2..
This is a great solid stock ROM. I have found it to be very stable and it has taken well to the MODs that I have used on it. I have been follow beans on my other devices and I trust and can depend on the quality of his work. Now go grab it and read the OP so you know what you are getting...
2. JellyBeans Stock 4.1.2 ROM Here EMF1. I have not used this ROM, but if your into 4.1.2 then I would suggest giving this one a try...
CM 10.2 JB 4.3
I was able to get this installed on the GT-N5110 Using the TWRP recovery and with my 64gb card with exFat.
**Sorry about any confusion... You can try and use the CWM recovery, however if it does not work flash TWRP and try it. Have a copy of each Recovery (CWM and TWRP) on your internal storage just in case you have to flash your way out of there.
**Note, cm10.2 works good, however it is still a little buggy... so not suggested as a DD. Yet, Stay Tuned! The ROm recognized my 64gb exFat card, however it was acting wonkey with some apps so Be Advised! Just use your 32gb Fat32 sdcard and you will be jammin...
Goo.im just dropped a new version of Gapps for JB 4.3 You will need this for the CM 10.2 ROMS!!!!
1. CM 10.2 Jelly Bean 4.3... BIG Thanks to sbrissen for getting this up for us over here in Note 8 Land. This is a build for GT-N5110. Remember if you want to use any other of the apps mods or tweaks with it, Go to the OP for the MOD or thingy and make sure that it is compatible with JB 4.3
Kernels
I am on Stock for now. I am running JB 4.2.2 and I have not heard of any other than stock that do support exFat. (microSD 64gb native formatting)
MODS Don't Forget to Back Up
1. xposed framework This works well for this ROM.
** Go to the Downloads section from within the Xposed app and look through them for the Mods that are designed for TouchWiz Roms...
example, you open up app settings go to gmail, set the dpi to 160 & screen (dp): 1000x1600
I did this for System settings as well and they look nice. Play around with it and we can build on it...
** Note I have attached a disabler for the Xposed framework in case you get into a boot loop or something else that is awful... Just flash via Recovery and you should be well again...
1a. Within the xposed frame work, you can go to the download section. Look for XBlast tools and or Wanam Xposed mods. These will give you all of the freedom to tweak the UI with out having to flash any mods. I have this running on several devices and they are excellent.
2. Audio Mods
Go here for Viper Audio. this is sweet and it really pumps up the sound on your device... Read the instructions carefully and you will be fine... I installed the "XHiFi version v2.1.0.2:" version.. This is your processor option ("CortexA9/15 with NEON") when installing, I am not saying that my option is optimal, but it works well for me. Let me know if you give it a shot... update 8/4... I just added FX version as well. The 2 together are very nice... I highly suggest this if you like your music..
3.Floating Windows Note 8 Mode Switcher I love this little app. It is great, it give you Floating windows & a easy way to switch between tablet mode and phablet mode. It works very well and is super easy to install and get going. I highly recommend this application. jump on over and read the OP and get the floating multiwindows going!
--addons for this I highly recommend
3a. Multi-Window Manager so you can add all of the application you want to multi-window. If you like the application buy the Pro version. I did and I love it...
You also going to want to get a different launcher,look around the Play store and find one that you like. Most have a free version to try before you buy. I personally use Nova Pro... Go check it out, It is really smooth with the higher dpi setting you get from the Note 8 Mode switcher
We've Got PIE!!!
4. LMT Launcher (PIE Controls) Thanks to noname81 for developing this awesome app for us to use. I have successfully installed v 1.9.1.2. Just grab the apk, install and you're off! no rebooting just install and PIE, PIE, PIE!!!!
You get PIE controls, ISAS & Gesture controls.. Very Nice... Read the OP all of the info for the goodness you want with a Stock ROM...
Apps or APKS
1. Link to the Google Edition 4.3 Camera This works I have it installed. and it is pretty sweet. (even on a 5mp Camera)
2. If you need a 3-way reboot menu, there is an excellent app here for that... [Holo Reboot]
3. AirDroid find it on Google Play: Here is a cool little app that let you connect to your PC wireless. You can do all kinds of stuff with this app, transfer files, rip apk's from your device, screen shots, activate camera remotely, explore it and let me know your findings. There is a paid subscription or free version.
Must Have Apps for a Rooted Device... As Always, if you like the app, buy the Pro version and show support to the dev!
0. SuperSU https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en, Buy the Pro version...
1. Busy Box https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
2. Titanium Backup https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en
The Next 2 apps I find are essential if you like to have frequent back ups but don't like to boot into recovery often. Check them out!

I installed 4.2.2 (N5120XXCMG7) with the help of Mobile Odin,
But if you are on 4.1.2 and no Root this is how you get 4.2.2 and Root in just 34 easy steps
This will be for GT-N5120 the LTE version only.
READ THE WHOLE THING ONCE BEFORE YOU START!
Also thanks to Chainfire, Sammobile and Clockworkmod
All this was done with Windows 8.1, no compatibility-mode for Odin or anything like that
If you are already on a rooted 4.1.2, you could start at step 14. (or step 22 if you dont need to do a nand-backup)
00. Firstly download the firmware from Sammobile, this takes some time if you do not have an hotfileaccount so do this first
01. Download Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root-konalte-konaltexx-gtn5120.zip with included Odin (Here)
02. Download Clockworkmod's CWM Recovery (here) This will be used to make a backup of your Note 8.0
03. Download Odin 3.07 (from here)
04. Install Samsungs USB-drivers (found here)
05. Unpack the CF-Auto-Root-konalte-konaltexx-gtn5120.zip-file somewhere on your computer, so that you can find the files easily.
06. Turn off your Note 8 and start it with holding volume down and power to get to download mode.
07. Press Volume Up to get start download mode, and connect the USB-Cable to your computer, let the drivers install
08. Start Odin 1.85 from the folder where you extraced the CF-Auto-Root-konalte-konaltexx-gtn5120.zip.
09. When the Square at ID:COM say something like 0:[COM7] on a yellow background and Messagebox says ADDED!! you are good to go.
10. Click on the PDA button and browse for the file 5. CF-Auto-Root-konalte-konaltexx-gtn5120.tar.md5 (.md5 might not be visible to you)
11. Now click Start and wait for Odin to flash rooted kernel and reboot your device.
12. You now have a rooted 4.1.2-device
13. Close Odin on your computer
14. Shut down and start the Note in Download mode again (volume down and power, then volume up)
15. Unpack Odin3.07.zip to some good place on your computer
16. Start Odin 3.07 and connect your Note to the computer
17. Click the PDA button and choose the RecoveryCWM6.03.2-GT-N5120.tar-file you downloaded earlier.
18. Click Start and wait for Odin to flash recovery, then reboot your Note 8.0
19. Shut down and unplug the Note.
20. Start the Note into recoverymode by holding Volume Up and then pressing power until it boots,
21. Once in recovery, choose backup and restore and then backup to external SD-Card (if possible, else backup to internal)
22. When backup is done (might take some time), reboot the Note, go to playstore and buy Odin (there is a free version here on XDA)
23. Plug in the Note to the computer and unpack and copy the 4.2.2 firmware to SD-Card.
24. Optionally you could here install Titanium Backup or Helium to backup your apps and games since i suggest you wipe your data later. If you dont have any progress you want to save then you could skip this step.
25. Start Mobile Odin, accept root-permission and let it download the flashkernel.
26. When Mobile Odin is done downloading, select Open file..
27. Select external, browse to and select the 4.2.2 frimware (N5120XXCMG7)
28. I suggest that, if you do not live in the UK, touch the Modem-selection in Mobile Odin and choose Clear to not flash the new modem (for me LTE didnt work when i flashed the new modem)
29. Make sure Enable Everroot, Inject SuperUser and Inject Mobile odin are selected.
30. I suggest you also check Wipe Data/Cache and Wipe Dalvik also (this deletes all your data on the device)
31. Touch Flash and to make sure the downloaded file is correct, let it do the MD5-check
32. Let Mobile Odin work (will reboot twice) and you should soon be booted and get to do the setup of your new and improved Note 8.0 with 4.2.2 in all its Samsungy Glory
33. If you do not like the bloatware from samsung, just install Titanium Backup and Freeze any unwanted applications.
The backup we did earlier with CWM Recovery, needs a Working CWM for 4.2.2 incase you want to revert back to 4.1.2. I am not sure if the CWM-Recovery we downloaded earlier works with 4.2.2 as i havnt tested (i havnt done any backup even tho i tell everyone to do so).
Great idea and it will be very useful to me as I just got a new Note 8. Thanks very much.

I have a few things up now. Let me know what else you find...
I also just got my note 8, tried to do the framaroot root but it failed. I also noticed this morning that when I checked for an ota update the server wouldn't connect. Looks like the LTE version is getting 4.2.2 today. I want 4.2.2 an will wait for official. Then I am rooting an will post how etc here.
Oh will post if I update to 4.2.2 also.
I have mobile odin I bought with the 25 samsung gave, I will mess around with it once I get root (don't have pc) and see how it works for the note 8.0.
I use cromi on a transformer pad an would love to see it here. Can't wait to see what custom roms an mods/tweaks come out for the awesome tablet.

When you get completed, please document the steps you took to accomplish Root with mobile Odin for the N5120. Good Luck!

I recommend this thread be stickied. fullllllll of great info and would be a shame for it to go to the depths of the xda abyss
I installed 4.2.2 (N5120XXCMG7) with the help of Mobile Odin,
But if you are on 4.1.2 and no Root this is how you get 4.2.2 and Root in just 34 easy steps
This will be for GT-N5120 the LTE version only.

Awesome thread. Just got Note 8 on Sunday and I am already on 4.2.2 rooted with multi Window enabled.
Thanks

Follow this community on awesome updates and development for the KFHD 2013 model. One of the moderators here is releasing a Kindle "tool" which will root, install a recovery, and return to stock system on your KFHD 2013 model. If your kindle is bricked or needs rooting this tool will do it all for you. Credits go to Gran PC and Kyleberry for developing this tool. He's planning to release it some time soon.

no its completely legit dude, check it out
This is fake,if there was a recovery, hashcode would have found out by now,and would have made a cm.

Its from Gran PC, who rooted firmware 11.3.2.1... Its legit, no fake
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk 2
its legit, he is a member here, and he has referenced the information in the OP a few times in this thread.. I am certainly monitoring his work since I've discovered it.
HAHA 'trolling' ! no we can already unbrick kindles and root every s/w version out there. Gran is putting together a tool to do so easily right now. keep an eye at the google plus community. We have a few screenshots of the work in progress
Ok. Sorry. I retract my assumption
It's nice to hear. Did he mean with "Recovery system", stuff like TWRP? So it would be possible to install custom FWs? That would be great!
Sorry,I just looked at it now! Seems cool,but the TV mode is worrying me...
Sent from my Amazon Tate using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Right now it will retore any s/w version to 11.3.2.1 stock, root, install gapps, fix the background bug, and we're working on using gapps and amazon appstores together. This device's bootloader cannot be cracked so Gran has porting TWRP or CWM to use as a second recovery, and booting a second kernel (like the motorola safestrap) on his to-do list, but it wont likely release with this option, as the priority is getting people unbricked

for now only "nandroid" like backups (the sys partition as bin) and restores.
Gran said he will take a look at twrp but right now before we try to modify any part of the system, we need a good restore tool.
His tool is not finished yet, for now only sys restore is ready in alpha stage. But better ask Gran
The next step is custom kernel (booted from original kernel) and maybe twrp.
If anyone of you is a developer and/or want to help, just join us and ask for permission to join the hangouts chat.
I am not a developer so I can not do much right now.
But we need help for
custom 2nd kernel booted from original via kexec (i think gran got the part booting the kernel, but the kernel itself is missing yet)
cwm/twrp ports (cwm untouched yet, gran took a look at twrp)
(maybe 2nd boot a different rom)
stable cm source for our device (4.4)
sw based boot into fastboot
xposed modules for stock (multimarket,navbar with recent app menu, ....)
oh we have a 855 mb cache partition, so keep in mind we cannot touch partition tables yet. If you can use the cache partition use it
Hope I don't forgot anything

Hi people,
First of all, sorry to disappoint, but I'm not a troll. I'm just a developer who was not exactly pleased when Amazon patched the root exploit
This tool can restore any device as long as you can boot into fastboot. If you can do that, you're golden.
Here's a link to the very very very very early alpha version for Windows.. it can only restore devices (doesn't have a root feature yet or anything else) and it's not entirely polished, but it definitely gets the job done. https://peniscorp.com/KindleRoot_dist_windows_0.1.zip
Here's the source code on GitHub... but since it's written in Lua it's pretty much included in the ZIP. https://github.com/GranPC/kindleroot
Hope you'll find it useful

Maybe the bootloader cant be cracked, but that doesnt mean we can't do a second bootloader. Right?

OK so I got round to rooting my N10 after unrooting it ages ago so I could take the 5.0 upgrade.
I only rooted It never put a custom recovery on it. Would you say it's worth putting a recovery on it? Looking at the Android development for this device it looks rather dead in that front.
I was thinking about flashing blisspop but it looks like it's been abandoned.
Is it better just sticking with stock on this device?

Hello,
it depends on your needs: custom ROMs bring many extra features and patches. For example latest cm ROM includes the fix for the stagefright exploit (look over the internet).
There are many interesting feature out there such a button to close all recent apps, edit your tiles and many more.
The drawback is that this may result in a more bad user experience as our device is quite old

I think I am going to stick with stock.
I would have loved to have tried your kernel though
