I really want to root my phone but i would really like to know the pros and cons
Pros are you can use more apps to control your phone, backup all your apps and even use then across android devices (I have a nook color also). There aren't really any down sides, I think the only reason they don't come rooted is do people can't break it as easy on accident.

Correct, use aroot to root and superoneclick to unroot.

Titanium
Root Explorer
Barnacle
...just to name the obvious
I was rooted on this Thunderbolt and went back to stock since the phone isn't really mine and I really didn't want to play the support role any longer. The owner of the phone now installed the latest Verizon update which is pretty good but the owners misses Wifi Tether so I agreed to re-root the phone. Everything is well until I try to do the "dd if=/data/local/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" command in adb, the md5 checksum is an exact match but I get a permission denied error which I didn't get before.
Any idea how I can get around this? Thanks!
I had the same thing I'm not sure what was the Cuase but I did the 3 click root and worked for me hope that helps

Tell me about it!
I just used the root procedure in the development section. It worked fine. Sounds like superuser didn't take. Try again and make sure you do exactly what is written.
Man I looked everywhere could not find u anyway the file I have is big 1.5 gig I don't know a way to upload the files let me know if u know how or still needed

Hey all was wondering how to route this phone also I am extremely new at this android stuff since I just got this phone last week, but would love to know more about routing also I can't find my phone in the search is there a reason for that
Sent from my SCH-M828C using XDA App
The first learning part: its rooting in stead of routing... search for rooting in this forum and you'll see! The most used way to root your phone is using superoneclick. Search and find.
Wow appreciate it.

Download super one click..
Make sure USB debugging is on
Make sure G3 driver is installed on your PC
Connect phone via USB
Open super one click
Click on root
Wait for a bit
Phone would reboot
Done

Alternatively, I used Z4Root as I prefer on-device rooting - I know it works on UK Android 2.1 firmware, and the phone is listed as compatible on their forum thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953).

Did you see the link which i posted? There the people discuss about rooting ur phone model specifically
Edit: Nobody will answer u here and u wil be ignored because you are at a wrong place and Even ur phone is also different.
I'm the proud owner of a Galaxy Note i717 but the limitations of gingerbread are driving me crazy....so the first thing I want to do is root and flash a different ROM problem is I'm without a computer ugh.
I came across a YouTube video showing how to root the other model without using a computer so I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution for the i717 model.
So is it possible to root the i717 galaxy note without a computer?
Help me out here guys any feedback is much appreciated....

I highly discourage trying anything other than what is posted in these threads...since it has been proven to best and most effective why of rooting and flashing...
in other words...You will need a computer and for a safety feature in case you soft brick or hard... you will have a need for a pc...computer.
do you have CWM on your device? like ranger stated below...no need to root to flash...
just my suggestions
You don't need root to flash an ics Rom.

yes sir you are correct...I did notice the op did not mention if CWM is on his device already...he will need that to flash...so then to put cwm he would need.....

Honestly I would not attempt to flash without a pc handy...due to the saying
"ya never know"
Even though we have the same make/model devices....they are not the same... my GNote may not like a ROM as to yours might...like I trying explaining ... the computer being your safety net if something goes wrong....I would wait or find a friend that you can use a computer, but it is your call, it is your investment.
btw unless someone knows a way to put CWM on the device without a computer....I believe you will need a computer...
Since CWM is a custom kernel, you could flash it from the phone using the Mobile Odin app.
Edit: oops never mind -- you need to be rooted to use Mobile Odin. Sorry for the bad information.
I rooted one phone using the terminal emulator after downloading such and busy box to the SD card. But its harder than climbing Everest without oxygen typing those commands.

So I Bought a Galaxy note (i717) the charger port is messed up on the device. It will charge, but it wont allow any PC connectivity. I have searched google and xda for information how how to root this phone with out a PC (aka using an .apk like framaroot) and I can not find a viable solution. I have tried Z4Root and Framaroot and neither of them work. Do you know of any other ways to root my device with out a pc? If i dont need a Root to Flash Could you point me in the right direction to find that information I haven't put CWM on the device yet because I Cant Root so I cant MobileOdin ect.. you see the picture lol. Is it possible to use an Update.zip file? or use a formatted SDcard to flash it like I did to Flash NookColor1?
I guess we need to help one another, I saw ur post, and I am using the same device. Dude, u can root every android in this world without pc. There are so many rooting apks. I have rooted so many different phones without pc. Download the app I used from my drive. Email for the app pls, I won't take anything from u but xda won't allow me to post a link.

As of right now, all we can do is root, use titanium back up to freeze or delete boat and use exposed to customize the stock rom. Some are looking into way to put safestrap or another way to a way to flash but nothing right now.

What features are you looking for that you are lacking from your Mega? If you want to flash just to flash then get you a little knock around phone on the side. Xposed has fully taken my flashaholic need away from me. Hell even if i want different colors i can do it through that.
I wanted to customize my pull bar and colors I love liquidsmooth because I can do that but I guess I wait longer or just sell this phone .... idk I alrwady rooted it like I said so ill look in the app store for something smilar to my neeeds
