Just wondering if anyone has tried rooting their Canadian Notes. I'd try it on one of the Notes at my store if I could.
Methods that might work:
S2 Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414&highlight=unroot
This is supposed to work with all Samsung devices
Super One Click 2.3.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
There are a couple other Skyrocket methods that could be attempted too. But I don't see why these 2 methods wouldn't work. If someone could try them out and report back, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.
Can't comment on the first method since I don't feel like patching in sketchy kernels, but Super One Click is a big pile of fail on this one, as is the zergrush exploit in general. Both just crash out and fail to get permissions.

Hmm... It probably won't be any different for the AT&T version. I'll give every method a shot though.
I'm going to wait to see if someone will release a kernel that already has root more than likely.

Should work with this version since this phone is just a big Skyrocket.

I am using a Korean note which is the exact version as the AT&T version
The way to do it would be to flash a kernel which would enable root
I wonder if it would apply to the devices in Canada Nd the Us eversions
Well when it gets here I'm going to use SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and do temp root and see if it works so I don't break it lol

Using the Canadian Telus version - SGH-I717D - the latest Super One Click 2.3.3 fails when attempting the zergrush exploit.
Using the S2 Root mentioned above (without flashing anything extra, mind you), it says:
Device Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
Device Model: SGH-I717D
ROM Build: SGH-I717D-user 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD 207 release-keys
...click "Root Device"...
Checking Device Connection...
Device Connected!
Restarting ADB Server...
Checking ROOT Access...
Superuser Request Has Been DENIED! Aborting...
if I remember correctly, many users of the galaxy s series had trouble rooting at one point because of the signature verification in the 3e recovery. So if the note has the same recovery you won't be able to root using super one click until you remove this verification process. Can anyone try rebooting into recovery to check what recovery they are using.

Personally, I wouldn't risk it until you know for sure you can return it. If you have your AT&T version in hand pull the full rom dump so we can root this bad boy.

Hi guys,
I have my note in hand, just gotta run a few errands and I will get root going shortly.
Easiest method will probably be building a kernel with root already included, anyone know of a stock ROM floating about, that would make it a bit easier Reply @ my post in ROM dev forum, thanks

You people should stop responding to posts made in the wrong forum.
that was redundant no.....troll along
so what im seeing so far is unless there is a file i can flash with fastboot im screwed......either that or a 2.3.5 sbf
and here we have teh downside to flashing a rom that has no root access on a locked bootloader.
(or apparently /system/bin/sh, hence the no data no adb )
you had to out me lmao
Thats not the correct use of the word redundant. And if trolling is promoting the very simple rules of this forum, then yeah, I'm a troll.

I am glad, when I can be helpful, but this guy shows no respect.
I think, there is a chance, to reflash rooted /system by RSD Lite. This was done on Defy, so why not here. Only would take some research and trying.
If you all read the posts i did state that the post was mad in development in error but i will be updating this post with steps to restore your phone in case you install rockos test 2.3.5 bootstrap on 2.3.5 ota. That rom is so screwed, missing root, shell.

I want to root my Galaxy S2 and have ICS or Jelly Bean or the best possible. I have been reading guides and tutorials on how to do this. I don't want anything to go wrong or brick my phone. One guide said I should get a new kernal, custom rom and a new OS to maximise the performance possible. All of this is getting very confusing for me and I don't know which direction to go. There are also two popular methods of rooting a Galaxy S2 which is using super one click or flashing an insecure kernal and then rooting the s2 using odin. I don't know which method is better but I would like to keep all the data in my apps which can be done using titanium backup. I would also like to have clockwork mod just incase anything goes wrong. The guides also said the best custom rom is by cyanagenmod. Could someone push me in the right direction and tell me what I should do and what I shouldn't.

What ROM are you on right now. Could you please attach a screenshot of the about section of your phone so that its easier to hand you the links to correct kernel? Briefly, what you need to do is to search the cf root thread by chainfire, get the cf root closest to your kernel version, and flash it to gain root access. What exactly would you like? Stock or custom rom? ICS or JB?

It may be the same as the 4.0's root process, which is here. It's probably just possible to use superoneclick and root, or you could always flash a rooted ROM with recovery.

Update your ROM, via ROM Manager (If available) and scanning through the forums, every now and again..
I use AnTuTu CPU Master free - Simple, good looking and does the job - Also I'd recommend the SiyahKernel, bei GokHanmoral (See his website: here
Download the latest kernel for your ROM, based on if it's Stock, AOSP or AOKP..

The kernel is the "boss" of the OS, which contains all the drivers and commands.
Imagine an OS (Operating System) as a company,
you have following in the OS (company):
the kernel - Boss
the shell - the office/s
the utilities - the outpost/s
The kernel is, like I said, the boss and tells which part of thecompany has to do what, at which point in time.
The shell is the office and calls everyine, making sure everything is going to plan, and delivering commands, from the kernel (boss), to the utilities and externel sources.
The utilities are your main working area, where you can interact actively with the OS and make changes to it, including changes to the UI, settings and apps (programs).
And that's how an operating system works, I hope I broke it down enough, for everyone to understand

Well, the main difference is, that they are practicly ll the same.
What most people understand as "stock" firmware, is AOSP code, released by Google, and then modified by the different manufacturers, to give their devices that typical (i.e.) Samsung look.
AOSP is the stock (unmodified and pure) Android code, that is periodicly released by Google, to maintain Android and the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
AOKP means Android Open Kang(ed) Project, kanged code is code, taken from source, and modified, to then be made open source again.
If you take what I write/say seriously (Which you should), then "stock" which, by the way, is branded software, is only a kang, of the AOSP code, so each and every one of you, who has left their device stock, with what they got delivered with, is using a kanged Android ROM.
Hope I could help!

Your kernel version is listed in Settings -> About Device
You can download Odin from Sammobile.com/firmware, or buy Mobile Odin from the Play Store.
Mobile Odin has the abilty to auto-detect what sort of tar you want to flash, so you don't have to be an expert in those things to flash a simple kernel

Beware with overclocking, that's actually the only way a software can fry your hardware if something goes wrong.
In this case, the warranty will definitly not work.
Either you have modified your device and won't get OTA, you need to go through odin. I think only rooting allows you to get them through kies though.
OR
you have to (triangle away and) go back to a stock rom and you will have update through OTA

Wrong - Any modification to the device will "tur off" the ability to Update OTA..
You can update via CWM, TWRP, Odin, Mobile Odin, ADB and so.. And waranty will work in some cases, if you have bought your phone in a shop - it won't work, if you have a contract, just send it in and request a new one..

OK let's clarify something, someone here is giving bad advice.
1.) Don't use ROM manager to flash ROMs or anything else, it can cause issues.
Use it to download them but flash them via your recovery (cwm,twrp etc.) Or with mobile Odin.
2.) If you root your device then it will show as system modified and stop you getting OTAs, we don't care about OTAs on xda, we get it here to flash before 99% of people get OTAs.
3.) TL;DR about kernels: they give you control over your hardware, they allow you to overclock your CPU and GPU, undervolt them too. Also with the S3 we can alter the equaliser settings in our audio chip (Wolfson, great hardware)
Don't worry about the rest, research that in your own time, but DO research it.
4.) Triangle away is an app by chain fire that removes the binary flash count in the bootloader. To simplify, Samsung inserted a mechanism besides the system modified one, that registers if we change anything in our system so if we send it back they can know if we tampered with the system.
Triangle away sets it back to zero.

YOU accusing ANYONE of talking crap is just hilarious.
You are the biggest spoofer I've ever encountered on xda.

LEARN TO READ before insulting people.
Excerpt from what I said. I'm repeating cause you seem to be a little mind limited...
"
Either you have modified your device and won't get OTA, you need to go through odin.
OR
you have to (triangle away and) go back to a stock rom and you will have update through OTA

Come on dude, even if you HAVE modified your device, some ROMs still have FOTA enabled, like with Update Me, ROM Manager and kitchen apps, so what you were saying was wrong - I was not insulting anyone, nor am I "Mind limited". Retarded is the word, btw.
You can use Mobile Odin, to go back to stock, but you don't need to, I'm pretty sure, that as long as the counter states the device is running stock firmware, you can still receive FOTAs.. I'm not too sure, though..
P.S. The OP didn't say he's running stock (rooted/modified) firmware, did he?
Btw, wat is OP?? And is it gd for me to flash cm10 or should i just wait for JB 4.2?? if yes, when and where can I find the jb 4.2 file or package (idk wat its called)And wats the difference between using mobile odin and the original odin that i used before to flash jb 4.1.1??

OP is original post, as in first post in a thread.
As for cm10 well you can always flash it if you want to and when/if 4.2 official drops then you can just flash that, you are never stuck on one or the other.
You can download firmwares from samfirmware.com.
You need a PC/laptop to use Odin, mobile Odin is an app on your phone with the same functionality as Odin.
Its really convenient.

Custom ROM != stock ROM when it comes to OTAs, stop trying to cover your tracks by twisting what was said.
On stock and rooted = no OTAs.
Custom ROMs with OTAs means you can get updates of that custom ROM only and they aren't even real OTAs, it just downloads the full firmware as opposed to the deltas.
The jury is still out on whether or not you are "mind limited" or "retarded" as you said yourself.

The interwebs is a blackhole for knowledge now days. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a Root for the I545VRUEMJ7 (or just MJ7). I was not previously rooted before. Thanks for the help!

If you are already on mj7 right now you have no root. Hasn't been cracked. If you are on a previous version then there are root guides in android dev. And a way to keep root as you flash up to latest version.

Just keep checking here. Keep in mind mj7 has been out less than a week. I'm not a developer, far from it, but I'm sure it's being worked on. Patience.

Just curious, since this my first time rooting anything, how long does it usually take to get hacked around (months, weeks, year)?

It might never be rooted. But rest assured devs are working on it. Just have to wait patiently.

Head over to this thread -- very good tutorial that I followed this morning. It worked for me, and I am running the MJ7 fully rooted now.
I have run into one problem though -- and it may be something that has been solved but I haven't found it yet. I cannot get Safestrap to install recovery because the MJ7 "update.zip" that I installed implements SELinux and Samsung has a security policy set that keeps blocking Safestrap's attempt to install recovery.
I have no doubt that someone has -- or will -- figure out how to defeat that, though.
I'm at work and haven't had a chance to look at the video but is this root from stock? Or from 4.2.2 previous root.

The method starts you off by re-flashing factory stock (no-wipe) MI1, then using the Root de la Vega method to gain root but not substantially change any system files. Then you have to have SuperSU Pro, because you have to enable it's "Survival" mode to keep root -- it's $2.49 on the Play store. Be forewarned -- OTA RootKeeper isn't updated for 4.3, so it won't do the job. Once you have Pro's "Survival" mode enabled, you have to swap out one file in /system/bin with the one listed in the guide.
Once you do those things, you can either take the OTA as normal, or use adb to sideload it if you have the "update.zip" file saved. When it reboots after update, you will be in 4.3.3 MJ7 fully rooted. I did it this morning, and found out that you want to follow ALL the steps rather than shortcut since you're already rooted. The update checks the SHA1.digest of a LOT of files, and if you have frozen or uninstalled any of them in Titanium (for example) it does change the SHA1.digest of the file. I ran into the problem because I had FWUpdate.apk uninstalled, then reinstalled to get the OTA -- but the update failed the first time because FWUpdate.apk had changed. So, after starting again (at step 1 this time), everything went through slicker than snot on a doorknob.
Looks as though you have to be rooted to begin with. Because it says KEEP your root. We are trying to root from stock.

Nope -- hasn't been achieved yet. I was lucky that my phone came with ME7; I rooted it then and disabled updates until I saw that the MJ7 enables the new AWS band, and is a full upgrade to 4.3.3
I also develop for Android, and have learned to never install an update from Verizon without FULLY researching what it does -- is it worth getting what it gives me in exchange for what I lose? You gotta watch Verizon -- they are on a program to completely remove any control over our phones from us. "Run what we give you and like it" -- screw them!
Yeah I don't get why Verizon has to make it this difficult.

I heard the MJ7 root is coming soon. Hopefully it doesn't have any setbacks.

I have rooted my Verizon SCH-I545 MJ7 wit VROOT and have had NO issues. It is very simple, one click. This Chinese site that has VROOT is a site that has custom ROMs etc. There doesn't appear to be any ROMs available for the SCH-I545 yet and you can't install xda roms or kernels from xda & VROOT has its own recovery program though not as extensive as xda. These Chinese guys have done a quick minor miracle with VROOT. I can get rid of bloatware & other annoying programs with this VROOT method. I've been running it for 4 days now without incident. Still, use at your own risk.

i am confirming that vroot works fully. i dont like the superuser but it works. supersu isn't an option because it wont update binary. but i am telling you VROOT fully roots and gives super user permission. just google vroot and it pops right up. download it. theres nothing to do . after the phone reboots it works. BUT I MUST WARN YOU IT SAYS CUSTOM ON THE BOOT SCREEN NOW
