Rooting Note on JB/ICS ROM
Using CWM.zip (temporary/Touch recovery)method to root is said to be unsafe by entropy, and till safe release don't use it
Read This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810954
So present options for rooting are - Here below 5 option to root Note, You can select any of one.
0.Root with apk (NO MORE WORKING ON LATEST ROM)
1A.Root with stock recovery including safe kernel
1B.Root with stock recovery
2. Using Odin (will raise counter)
3.Using Mobile Odin
NEW 17 Dec2012
0.Root with apkCredit goes to Chainfire, alephzain (This method won't replace kernel, so if you root with this method,I recommend to flash safe kernel)(NO MORE WORKING ON LATEST ROM)
1.Download latest from chainfire's original thread
2.Install application as routine apk installation and open it.
3.Open Exynos Abuse application from App drawer
4.Select Root device (see image)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
5.It will ask SuperSU permission, Grant it See image)
6.Now your device is rooted, for security purpose you can disable Exploit.(see image)
Note : This may break camera, but unchecking disable exploit make it working again
7.Open SuperSU from app drawer and update binary (see image)
How to Unroot and make status Normal
Open Exynos Abuse app, uncheck disable explot and select Unroot device (see image)
Restart device and wait for 10 min. and then you can check status.
1.Rooting with stock recovery - Thanx to Entropy who direct this way,as well always looking for safety measures for us, Chainfire for creating great tool SuperSu (and many more), Phil3759 as files,scripts derived from his Thread and Linus Yang for Busybox.
You can have two choice to root device from recovery
1A.Root + safe kernel + advance recovery. [Recommended method]
Here this will not just root your device but also add safe kernel (patched for mmc erase cap command) so you can safely wipe your device. as well gives you advanced recovery with it you can flash flashable zip files, nandroid backup/restore and more.
All credit goes to Phil3759 for awesome work.
Visit this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
And download kernel in zip format according ROM you are having on device.
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card to root directory
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install(update) zip from ext SD card
-select '[your downloaded kerenel].zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
Now you will have Root + safe kernel
1B.If you want just Root but not kernel, follow this
- Download Root_SuperSu 0.95
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card.
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install zip from ext SD card
-select 'root_SuperSU-*.zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
-You can see superSU on appl drawer. open it and update.
-Now This will give you only SuperSU not busybox, though application which doesn't depends on system busybox will still works.e.g.Titanium Backup.
-To get full Root+busybox, Download Root_busybox *.zip
-Copy Root_busybox* only to Ext SD card
-Reboot into recovery, Select Install zip from Ext SD card. select Root_busybox* .zip and Flash.
-Done !
PS : If you can't see superSU after flashing above file(sometimes happen if there is too low space like in LQ3 ROM, then use this Root_superSU, followed by same above Root_busybox file.
Immediately after This I recommend to
1.Backup EFS
2.Flash any safe kernel with mobile Odin.
UnRoot :
Busybox uninstaller - Flash in recovery
Complete unroot (busybox+Superuser) - Flash in recovery
2. Short, easy - requires to reset counter
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Flash it using PC odin for PDA tab.
-You will get exclamation mark and raised counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away
-First time opening triangle away application, it will ask to download file(flasher), let it complete. then choose to reset counter, it will restart in special recovery an finish job.
3. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark
-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it. OR Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin
-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery
-Install Mobile Odin Pro
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Open Mobile Odin Pro
-select open file
-Point to ROM file you have copied
(file name varies from image above, this is for demo purpose)
-All fiels will popup and feel automatically
-select kernel and point to custom kernel file you have copied
Tick 'Enable ever root' and 'Inject superuser(super SU) -(see image)
Flash.
Done!
First thing you should do after rooting is
-backup EFS folder ( you can use Ktool for that)
-to make some space (at least 15MB). You can safely remove google+, youtube and later install from market.
Now your device is full rooted, and use Titanium backup(or which you have used to backup) to restore
For Rooting on GB ROM, see post no 2 and 3.
How to Root/Unroot Older GB ROM + CWM
Rooting Older GB (Directly rootable) ROM
Now first thing someone newer like to know what is directly rootable and non rootable ROM
Directly rootable GB ROM is older release of ROM before Nov11, which can be root with zergrush exploit directly, without odin it (and so without exclamation mark and raising flash counter)
Which ROMs are directly rootable? and how do i know my ROM directly rootable or not?
Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703 Here Red is your kernel version)
If it is one of below mentioned then proceed otherwise follow post #3
These are directly rootable ROM
If ROM having one of these kernels, then it is directly Rootable.
KJ1/KJ4/KJ6/KJ7/KJ8/KJA
KK1/KK2/KK3/KK4/KK5/KK6/KK9/KKA
KL1
KL3(few of KL3 only is directly rootable e.g. Indian KL3. so in case your KL3 cudn't get root with zergrush you should consider it as non directly rootable )
Rooting Procedure
Here procedure divided in two part
Part 1. For whom who just want to root device (you will have option to move to part two anytime)
Part 2. For those who want to Root + CWM (advance clockworkmode recovery, to use upgrade ROM / Nandroid backup restore) - Recommended
Part 1 : - Credit goes to DooMLoRD for his zirgrush exploit

Get root access on Newer GB ROM (non rootable directly)
Get root access on Newer GB ROM (non rootable directly)
Here as name suggest non rootable directly ROMs. guide is not for How to root it, but better we can term it, How to get root access on such newer ROM.
As i said if you ROM not having kernel as mentioned in previous post (#2), you have to consider your ROM as non rootable.
Available option to get root access on such ROMs
1. Flash Pre rooted ROM
As name suggest flashing This ROM with PC odin, you will have ready made Root + CWM. This ROM was modified by ChainFire (All credit goes to him only). And you can flash it using PC Odin without getting exclamation mark/raise flash counter.
Download :
http://d-h.st/HJM
Mirror
Installation method is same as flashing other rootable ROM described here
After flashing you will have Root + CWM
PS: This is first ever GB ROM, and you may notice some screen issue if your Note is newer, dont worry for that once you upate to newer ROM, this issue will go. You can now update to any newer GB ROM with keeping your root intact, mentioned in option 2 below.
2. Update Newer GB ROM using Mobile Odin / CWM
If you are currently on Rooted GB ROM, you can update to any newer GB (non rootable) ROM using PC Odin OR CWM with keeping your root intact.
Here is description available How to use Mobile Odin OR CWM to update newer ROM
After updating to newer ROM, you can flash CF root kernel from here
according to newer ROM kernel. And Flash it using Mobile Odin OR CWM.
I have Kernel KL7 - Download
I have kernel KL8 - Download
I have kernel LA1 - Download
I Have Kernel LA3 - Download
I have kernel LA4 - Download
I have kernel LA6 - Download
I have Kernel LB1 -Download
I have Kernel LC1 - Download
i can confirm, it works whit gt-n7000, kernel and binary counter untouched..

so here is the unrooting script to be USED ONLY AND ONLY IF U HAVE USED Easy Rooting Toolkit FOR ROOTING
[ WARNING ]
if u have used any other way/solution for rooting then PLEASE DO NOT RUN THIS... you MIGHT END UP with damaged system...
(thats cause some ppl create symlinks for busybox in /system/bin/ which wipes out stock symlinks to /system/bin/toolbox and breaks/damages system)
[ DISCLAIMER ]
I AM NOT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF U DAMAGE UR PHONE / SPILL UR COFFEE / MISS UR ALARMS / ANY OTHER CALAMITY/MISHAP
REMEMBER YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
now that the warning is clear (hopefully) lets get to unrooting
so here is the file.. (WINDOWS ONLY)
just download the attached file, extract it using winzip/winrar
go to the folder where its extracted and execute "RUNME-UNROOT.bat"
read and follow the instructions on the screen!

Method 2: Root + CWM recovery
Souce : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
Big Thanx to ChainFire - Donate chainFire
Here simplified Rooting and CWM recovery for Galaxy Note N7000
- Download Root package, see at end of post
- There are three folder
1. Initial CFroot flasher
2. Two other folder having zImage file , you need one only
Which file do I use ?
Listen closely, for I will say zis only once!
Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there:
2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703
What matters most (KJ4) in this case, is in bold. Try to find the matching file
e.g. CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEN_KJ4-v5.0-CWM4.zip)
so choose accordingly
- Place the zImage file accordingly in folder 1.initial CFroot flasher /zImage folder
- Start "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions If you are Rooted already
OR
- Start "not-rooted-yet.bat" and follow the instructions.
Note : Just below this, where you download actual flash programme, that includes initial CF root as well i have already placed zimage accordingly.

edit 16Nov11 Simplified
-----------------------------------------Forget all Above and follow simple Step below------------------------------
Part Two : Final Procedure
1. I want just Root- Download This
Now Execute RunMe – follow screen instruction
(Note : Who are on Linux look to End of this post)
New method edit 19Feb12
If you fail to Root with aove method, You can try this
Keep you mobile debugging on, connect to PC and use tool mention above
2. I Want ROOT + CWM
I will do with PC (all credits goes to Chainfire for making Cf root kernel)
Which kernel You have?
(Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703 Here Red is kernel version)
I have Kernel KJ1 - Download This– and Extract
I have Kernel KJ4 - Download This - and Extract
I Have Kernel KJ6/KJ7/KJ8 - Download this - and extract
I have Kernel KK1/KK2/KK3/KK4/KK5 - Download This - and Extract
I have Kernel KKA - Download This - and Extract
I have Kernel KK9 - Download This - and Extract
I have kernel KL3 - Download This - and Extract
I have Kernel KL1 - Download This - and Extract
Below mentioned are Non Rootable(to use for CWM only. You have to flash using Mobile odin), so you wont get Root from here, Read this thread, Post # 2 n 3
I have Kernel KL7 - Download
I have kernel KL8 - Download
I have kernel LA1 - Download
I Have Kernel LA3 - Download
I have kernel LA4 - Download
I have kernel LA6 - Download
I have Kernel LB1 -Download
I have Kernel LC1 - Download
NOW Ready to begin
I am Already Rooted - Execute "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions
I am Non-rooted - Execute "not-rooted-yet.bat" and follow the instructions.
OR
I will Go with Mobile Odin option (No PC needed)
After root with above mention method, Go to Market download this, Again Thnx to great ChainFire
https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5tb2JpbGVvZGluLnBybyJd
Now place CF root kernel to your Int/Ext memory, N flash with Mobile Odin Pro
Tip: Just to note that, who have to use root for application purpose e.g.Root explorer, titanium backup etc, they shud select 'I want just Root' option. these all application will work, as well stock recovery also will work like reset, wipe cache partition, wipe data
You shud only apply CWM, if really you are need to backup/restore firmware, regularly updating ROM, using ChainFire application(which need CF root)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CF Root ICS ROM
N7000XXLPY - CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.3-CWM5.zip
Extract till zImage N flash Kernel using Mobile Odin Pro
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now How I can revert back to Stock ROM/Unroot (In case of replacemet may i need)
I you have Just rooted only but not added CWM - Just Download this Extract - Execute - Rum Me unroot.bat
If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)
Now place this file in zImage folder, n repeat procedure(Initial CFRoot Flasher), which you have done at time of pushing CWM by selecting I am rooted already
Now unroot with above said unrooting tool.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When No Any other method works to Root your device, use this
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that, this will downgrade your ROM to KJ1, after that you can update it.

Where can I get the ADB drivers for the samsung note?
It's not in the Google USB driver package of their SDK Manager.
And do I need to load the drivers on the CDC Serial or the Samsung_Android device?

If you have the Samsung Galaxy S2, then you are in the wrong forum.
You need to be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1055
I have not updated my signature yet, yes I own a GN.
I'm in!
Hi there,
Me too, I can confirm that the described rooting method is working fine!
At start I did have an issue with the CDC something driver wanting to be installed, but that can be solved by installing the KIES software for the phone, that can be downloaded from the Samsung website.
Regards,
Worked like a charm.... thanks!
Worked like a charm.... thanks!
Thanks for the tip. The KIES software from Samsung had the ADB driver that was needed.
And it worked very well.
You can Download KIES Here
It feels like doing startcraft on my phone. Haha.

Plz who have successfully rooted, share your experience here.

2nd.... this would be good to know...
If you got stok ICS running and you got the unlocked booltoader and custom recovery running you can flash the patched boot.img (kernels from Flexreaper thread) for ICS bootloader users , they give you full root without any other proces except installing superuser app. No need to use the easy root tool then.
If you want to go back flash the stock boot.img back or restore it from a nandroid backup , remove the super user app and you are root less.

Messing with a friends old DX

So, just to give a brief intro here... I used to have a DX, first buying it way back in its Eclair days, but have since (regretfully) moved to a D3. Trying to make the best of Moto's D3 flop, I've become pretty active over in the D3 sub-forum and have begun to learn the basics (I stress this, I ported a Bell Canada 2.3.6 ROM to the US D3 with 2.3.4, added light theming and 1% battery mods with assistance) of ROM creation and theming. I'm comfortable with RSD Lite and other programs like that.
Now, for this DX, I'm attempting to root it with Pete's 1 Click (Verision 1.06) which says it has worked on the DX. It fails on Step 3 pushing SU, BusyBox, etc. I thought the MotoFail method for the D4, Bionic, etc. which works for the D3 may work, so I attempted that, but it too failed on the same step. Just this morning I updated it to OTA 4.5.621, could this be the issue?
My friend has since crossed over to the dark side (iOS), so I want to make a nandroid backup of this phone as is, back up his SD cards, then wipe everything and play around with ICS on the DX since ICS on the D3 isn't a daily driver yet IMO, but I still want to mess with ICS.
Any advice about rooting .621? Also, does the DX only have BootStrap, or does a SafeStrap style hijack exist as well?
EDIT:
Ok, after some more Google'ing, I've found I need to root with Linux, and not windows because I've "accidentally" taken .621 OTA. I have a second HDD in my desktop with Ubuntu 12.04, so I should be able to follow a guide to root via Linux from that machine, correct?

So, for tethering, all I need is WiFi Tether from the Play Store? On the D3, we have to use a Moto proprietary program called RadioComm to rewrite the radio's data type signatures so that all 3G data through the phone looks as if it's phone use 3G and not tethered data.
Also, I'm looking for an ICS ROM... Suggestions?

So, for tethering, all I need is WiFi Tether from the Play Store? On the D3, we have to use a Moto proprietary program called RadioComm to rewrite the radio's data type signatures so that all 3G data through the phone looks as if it's phone use 3G and not tethered data.
Also, I'm looking for an ICS ROM... Suggestions?
Lastly, I did the Linux/Ubuntu SBF to the Milestone X, then ran ZergRush from Windows, but don't have root access.

I literally just went through this process and it worked perfectly. Try SBFing to .621 again then do the Ubuntu steps again then use zergrush v3. That's exactly what I did.

I'm supposed to SBF to .621, then to Milestone X .605 via Ubuntu, then ZergRush you're saying? I also tried the live CD method to no avail.

Yep, yep, and yep. Would I possibly be able to manually root via ADB? I have it set up and connected now, the problem lies in that I can't really find much about manual roots any longer.

I don't think you can manually root on .621. Have you tried another computer, or have you tried zergrush v3?

Just go here and read the instructions. Once you've taken the .621 update it's a bit of a process to regain root, but totally doable.

I took the .621 OTA, booted Ubuntu 12.04 from my 2nd HDD, SBF'd to Milestone X in Ubuntu, went over to Windows 7 64bit HP, ran ZergRush v4, ZergRush v3, Pete's Moto Root Tools, and MotoFail, all of which failed to root. I then used RSD Lite to apply the .621 SBF (I'm now questioning if I should've done this via Ubuntu), went into Ubuntu, did the MX SBF, tried all rooting methods above and failed.
Then I tried rooting via ADB and I believe I successfully pushed su, busybox, and Superuser.apk to /data/local via ADB, but when issuing "adb remount", I'm unable to mount /system as read-write. I'm applying the .621 SBF via RSD Lite currently and having my second guesses about this doing this via RSD now...

Oh man I feel for you redsox985. I love my Droid x and I wish that I could help. But the only thing I can reccomend is try sbfing in windows with the newest version of red lite. And then when it is done or tries to reboot, or then bootloops is to unplug the phone. Boot into the stock recovery or whatever you call it (you get to it by pressing the home and power until you see the android dude and exclamation point. Then you push either search or back. It varies with the version.) Then you want to wipe data and cache. Then try rebooting. It has worked for me in the past when I have come out of 2nd init roms.
If you have tried that then I am sorry. I can't help anymore.
OK here we go... I hope...
1. Boot into windows. I used 7, but whatever.
2. Then download rsd lite 5.x.x and download the Droix X .621 sbf file.
3. Enter download mode on the dx and connect it to the computer.
4. Sbf your phone in rsd lite to .621.
5. Unplug your phone.
6. Pull the battery of your phone.
7. Hold down POWER AND HOME until you see the triangle with exclamation point.
8. Click both the VOLUME UP AND DOWN buttons
9. This is stock recovery.
10. Wipe data/Factory reset.
11. Reboot.
12. Verify it works (connect to wifi, browse a few sites, etc.)
13. Start Ubuntu and follow the guide for sbfing to the Milestone X file.
***back to windows****
14. Root using Zergrush *****v3*****!!!!
15. Install the bootstrap .apk
***on the phone****
16. Install clockwork mod
17. Flash whatever you want*
*Nothing below 2.3.5. Definitely NO Froyo
If this doesn't work I'll walk you through it while IMing or texting or something. If I can follow the steps I can figure it out.

[HDX 8.9] Root, google apps and wallpaper fix

Hi,
I wrote a little script with some nice utilities to customize the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9.
Options available :
Superuser
Remove signature check
Install Google Apps
Fix wallpaper
It runs under Linux, and you need to have java, jar, sed, wget, adb and aapt set up on your computer.
To use it, plug your device and enable adb.
Extract the archive and run hdx.sh in a terminal.
Everything is not perfect, but it seems to work pretty good for me
Thanks to everybody who worked on the tools I use in this script.
Is play store working for downloading

Tanks to cpasjuste tips it is
I know u mentioned Linux us it possible to run this from windows
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I have the same question... can we run this script under windows somehow. I already have root, gmail and music working... play store can't connect though... I also used adb to do the wallpaper fix and it says it is applied but nothing seems to have happened. Still no wallpapers anyway. btw, I also have superuser and busybox installed too.
Same question here. Also, can the wallpaper fix be used stand alone and will we be able to have wallpapers on stock launcher? I am on 7“
Sent from beneath my invisibility cloak
Judging by the content of the .sh file, i believe a .bat file can be written to run on windows... however, it would be prudent to do it in a safestrap rom slot, you know, just in case something goes wrong...
Thanks for sharing @Ptiwee !
Ill try manual execution of some of the steps in your guide (most especially on the ones related to DownloadProvider) and see how it goes !
Cheers!
If you want just the wallpaper fix I thought I'd mention my fix still works on the hdx that I designed for the HD, though you may have to install busybox on your kindle first.

It should be possible to use it on Windows, though you have to find the equivalent for all programs used inside (especially for sed ...)
I don't have time to care about it before Christmas ...

Will this allow Amazon Appstore to work?
It doesn't look like it as you've used the same cm10 apks, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask before I go through the trouble of trying it out...

You'll need to root before applying the wallpaper fix

I have tried this and after applying the Google Apps 3rd option it rebooted and now its stuck with the kindle fire logo and not coming up anymore
The device answers to adb commands (lists up with adb devices) and reboots with "adb reboot fastboot" and/or "adb reboot recovery"
Although resetting with the recovery to factory defaults doesnt help...
Anyone know whats happening? (I cant afford to send it back to US as I live in Colombia)
Sorry for the double post

Any ideas why services.odex is not what its looking for? (Maybe someone could upload it?)
Guys, if ANY PART OF THIS FAILS & YOUR DEVICE REBOOTS, IT WILL BRICK THE HDX.
Several people are having issues (maybe running this in a terminal on device or via mnty) that leads to the endless bootloop. This can also occur if there are files left in Dalvik cache from the old download manager & UI.
Use caution & common sense when trying to modify your device. My brother works for Amazon & has told me that they are supposed to start cracking down on device returns this week. If you mess your device up because you don't really know what you are doing (much of this is early developmental stage) there is an increasing chance that you will be stuck with a non-functioning device &/or out several hundred dollars.

If you are still stuck in bootloop, I can help you. Based on your post, I bricked on purpose & was able to recover. Hit me up, or check out my thread in the HDX General forum section.

You saved my life man you just saved my life... Followed your guide and now I have my device back again YAY
Thanks a lot man
Jocky & I probably saves 100's of Kaisers back in the WM days. Been a while since I've had time to really get into Android firmware, but I can still piddle with the best of the average, lol...
Glad you are fixed .
Now you can mod the build.prop & start anew if so desired. What I did. Once you've used the exploit, SU is almost garunteed to stay, at least until Amz patches it in an update.

Hi,
I tried to install the Google Apps with the scripts, and now every time I boot up it shows "Kindle is upgrading ...."
After a while it still boot up successfully. But it is taking longer time.
Also, the Google Play store only works for me once after I first reboot. Afterward, it app closes itself right after I click on it.
Reboot does not help.
Did I do anything wrong here? Any idea how I can fix it?
Thanks.
I'm back from Christmas celebrations, sorry ...
As GSLEON3 stated, it is important to use those scripts safely. I put them here for crazy people who know what they are doing
The Kindle update is a known bug, it doesn't disturb me a lot but maybe I'll try to find a solution
For the Google Play store not working, did you disabled the signature check ?
