I recently updated my note to 4.4 officialy. Now i wanted to root my device [Galaxy Note2 N7100]. I used the method which roots the device by first installing TWRP recovery And then installing Super Su from that. But when i install from odin, after that recovery finishes from odin the place where PASS should come, its just comes as RESET. I tried doing this from other site also, still the same problem. Nothing happened to my phone, but still i need help as i want to root.
Also when i connect my phone the small box turns blue, so i guess my drivers are also installed correctly, please help me with an easy method as I am a noob with rooting. THANKS in advance

Why TWRP?
Try Philz CWM Advanced Edition from here...
When odin says PASS ,immediately press & hold VOL_UP + HOME + POWER buttons until device boots into recovery.
OR
Untick AUTO REBOOT option in odin before flashing recovery. After PASS try above mentioned method.
After boot into recovery select INSTALL and then browse to your SU.zip & flash it.
Then,
select REBOOT & then SYSTEM options respectively.
it asks you to overwrite stock recovery, then select YES.
Done, Now you r Rooted & installed.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!

hi im new to the whole nexus 7 scene just got it today and its also my first nexus device. came from a highly locked down dx2 then to htc and now im trying this. i used the nexus root toolkit v1.5.5 to unlock and root and flash custom recovery. but when i hold power down+volume down i get into the boot loader and i choose recovery then GOOGLE splash screen comes up and it does absolutly nothing while no usb chord plugged in. with usb chord it stays at the google splash screen for but a moment then just boots into android.
i tried the advance utilities and flash the cwm that way but same results. im still on 4.1.0 jrn84d. what am i doing wrong? i don't fully understand adb so if there is quite litteraly a step by step please give me a link or write it down if no such link exists. my last hdd that had adb all setup and ready crashed so its not setup and i was talking to someone who helped me get it going. all i know is i need to use command prompt but getting it into adb and then using it to push and get into cwm i have no clue.
i would love to make a nandroid and then install a kernal to gget the full power out of this thing. it is unlocked and rooted already.
They using ROM Manager app to install CWM and also boot into recovery. Will work for sure as long as you're rooted.

If you follow the steps correctly, it should have a custom recovery installed. check if your rom is actually rooted.
EDIT: What the hell are you doing on 4.1.0? I thought factory stock was 4.1.1.
Use this:

Get GooManager from the play store. It can download and install TWRP recovery which I prefer. GooManager will let you reboot into recovery too.

lol i dunno just came with it. its the 16gb version dunno why it came with 4.1.0 but it did. and when i installed rom manager i flashed cwm with that then choose to boot into recover that way and it worked. i am unlocked and rooted and now have a nandroid. have yet to try going to cwm with power+volume down being pressed i will give it a shot later on and make another nandroid before i accept the update im being propted for.
ty guys for the help.
There was a bug that required the N7 to be connected to a PC-USB connection before it would work. They didn't fix the bug until 4.1.2.
Your best bet, if you can boot into Android, is to download a Reboot-to-Recovery app or use CWM or GooManager to reset into recovery. If you are boot looping, throw a USB connection into the mix when trying to do it. I believe it is VolDown+Power+USB connection. Drivers may also be a factor.
Thanks for the reply. I finally updated it. Had to do three updates though. First to 4.1.1 then to 4.1.2 and then to 4.2. I have a nandroid at 4.1.0 so if I need to do anything I'm just going back. I used ota root keeper and the cwm that's from rom manager allows you to choose to protect your custom recovery as well as root. But I don't know if that was working in tandem with ota root keeper since I made sure to back it up first before I did anything.

Ok every guide I looked at said you can easily flash something to gain root again well in order to flash anything you have to have root so it doesn't make any sense and I didn't see any guides on this or related posts and I'm running 4.2.2

fastboot oem unlock

flash the supersu.zip root package.
What is so complicated about that?
you dont need root to flash something, you need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.....
i swear the word root has lost all meaning these days. everyone wants it, but it seems so very few actually understand what it is.
Pretty sure you just need to fastboot flash a custom recovery, then you can flash the superuser binaries by chainsdd (Google the package), then install superuser or superSU from the market.
Not familiar with nexus 7, but this is how I rooted a galaxy nexus. There should be a sticky in your device specific forum with links to the process and files.
From my Evo LTE, yup.

Dude,
As the guides tell you, and I lined out above, you need to FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY
unless you are already rooted, then downloading ROM Manager or 'recovery manager' from the app store doesnt do any good....
you need a computer to do this in fastboot mode.
Damn I was hoping I could avoid using my friends very slow comp lol

I'm in the similar situation - I upgraded rooted 4.2.1 via modified OTA (original OTA was failing because of one apk) and now I have 4.2.2, but even though I had SuperSU which was ticked to "survival mode" (should keep the root), it apparently didn't. I don't have TWRP anymore, when I press power+vol dn I get the standard "start" screen (original recovery). Also, when I turn N7 on, it is displaying keychain that is OPEN, that means my bootloader is unlocked?
So my question(s)... my bootloader is probably unlocked? If I do the steps:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
boot into recovery
flash the supersu.zip root package
will I loose all data/apps? I ask because when I first rooted with toolkit, I lost all apps/data.
Also, where to find supersu.zip ? That is different to the installed SuperSU.apk, right?
Damn I can't make ADB work... I tried 2 computers.... Damn google for making this so [email protected]#[email protected]$ .... Constant problems, nothing else. Any clues? I ofcourse, tried kill-server and start-server, no matter what my device is showing offline....
Just checked with my phone (SGNII) and it is working just fine... no clue why Nexus is showing as offline..

Hi!
I'm totally new to Nexus 4. I'm on 4.3 and yesterday unlocked bootloader and rooted. Everything works.
Today I booted in fastboot just to see CWM. On exiting it warned me about possible root lost. I answered YES.
So now I lost root. I still have SuperSU but when I run it I get message that no binaries installed and SU can't install them and I need to reroot phone...
I tried to download chainfire 1.65 zip and flash it CWM - same result...
Any hints would be appreciated!

My last phone had button combination to boot straight into recovery. I don't see such option in Nexus 4.

Is there an option in your current ROM to reboot into recovery? If not, power off the device, then hold down the volume up-down and the power buttons. I tend to forget these button combinations, but I think this is the one that will lead you to fastboot. From there, navigate with the volume buttons and OK something with the power button.

Sorry I forgot to give tech details: I run stock ROM + kernel, just rooted and unlocked fastboot.
So yes, this is the way I use to access recovery: through fastboot.
Last time while exiting CWM I selected NO to last question about trying to fix root and my root is still here

Glad to hear that. If it's OK, leave it that way, it won't cause any harm.
If you want to try TWRP, go to the Play Store and download the GooManager application. Grant it superuser permission, then hit the menu button at the upper-right side of the screen, right under the clock. From there, select "Install OpenRecoveryScript" and it will download and flash the latest TWRP on your device. After that, reboot to recovery to check if it's working.
I just went throught the same thing
I just unlocked my phone and flashed the latest CWM recovery and then the latest SuperSU zip; and all was fine. But whenever I was exiting from CWM recovery, it said "Possible root access loss" and if it can "fix it". Whenever I say "Yes" I lose root access; and when I select "No" the root privileges stayed. I could have lived with that but I thought screw this **** and flashed the TWRP recovery. This one doesn't say anything about losing access; all's cool.
But I still want to know what CWM was trying to do. It was trying to "fix" /system/bin/su and losing root access. Anybody?

Did you try to Uninstall/Install the Supersu in Playstore sir? Can you please do that first and Then try to go on Phone setting > More> App > Supersu >Clear cache > Disable > then enable again.
