Is OTA RootKeeper compatible with the G'Note? I guess once ICS gets released, we will have re-root.
OTA RootKeeper worked great on my Transformer Prime.

I installed and ran it on my Note and it shows temp root and unroot. Richmd is going to try it, and hopefully posts back on how it worked.
I just chose temp unroot and the went into root explorer and the option to mount r/w was not there. I'm running GB but tonight I will be on the new collective ICS build. I'll try it then as well to see if it works.

Keep us posted if the leaked ICS works and still remains rooted.

I'm still rooted with the ICS from the collective and when I temp unroot and go into root explorer it only gives me the choice of read only and not the option to read write so root keeper seems to work like it should.

Thanks @Phoneyguy589. Hows ICS running on the G'Note? This is off topic.

This wasn't a proper test since the Collective ICS build is prerooted. No matter what you did on your GB build, flashing that would have given you root.
Though I am sure we all appreciate the effort, we will have to wait and see if a real update from rooted to unrooted stock will allow you to keep root.

I think they can tweak the Root method for the international Note once they get a system dump from an ATT Note. I don't think it's a big stretch.

I have the international version, rom LA4. I screwed up and updated with KIES from the previous rom to LA4 and lost root. To get it back, I'd have to downgrade (wipe), root, then update OTA to get it back. The exploit used for the older rom won't work on the newer. Not sure if they will figure it out, I think they would rather spend their time tinkering with ICS (can't blame em). Make sure one the at&t version can be hacked, that you watch how you update it. First time I've had a non rooted phone for 9 months, the ads are about to drive me nuts
I'm sure when ICS hits, it will be full of exploits to root it until Sammy figures out where the holes are located and plugs them up.
More then likely we can root with Skyrocket's version.

Don't know if anyone has posted this yet. I just checked for it a couple days ago and it is now supported on the Prime. Enjoy!
Is your prime unlocked and rooted?
Still not working for my rooted and unlocked prime. Just wondering.
I'm having the same problem. I too am rooted and unlocked, very frustrating.

You probably installed or un installed something from the system folder. Ota usually check that all the correct Components are available before an updated can be installdd .

I get the same thing on mine. Haven't figured out why this happens to some of us, and not others. Could it have to do with being boot loader unlocked? I don't really see how, but it's very annoying.

Bootloader may be the culprit...
Anyone with an unlocked bootloader able to get hulu running? :beer:

no I get the same error message with unlocked bootloader. One thing to try woulkd maybe be this: On aokp, if you use ota keeper to temp unroot, you are able to watch movies from google for an unknown reason. Maybe this works for hulu. I would try it but I am happily running virtous right now...

On .21 rooted only. I get device not supported. Even tried to temp unroot with OTA rootkeeper but no go.
Maybe try turning of "Force GPU rendering?"
Also have you tried completely uninstalling the apk through TB? I hear it's suppose to delete everything and not leave a trace of the app. Then reinstall. Maybe also make sure your Flash is up to date.

I was informed today that Verizon is pushing out the new Ota already. If you haven't gotten it you will soon. 2 questions....
1. Do we have to Odin back to stock to receive the update?
2. Will there have to be a new process to root after we accept the ota?
Should this have gone under the Q and A?

I think this has already been discussed. The nee ota is nothing more than the search feature dumbing down and a new baseband+kernel. I believe you can root this with the current method. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Why mess up your root? Just give it some time and the devs will probably have the update rooted and ready to flash with Odin !
Can anybody confirm that these will not auto-install?
On my HTC Incredible, I would just hit install later, but the popup would come back every 15 minutes.. very annoying!
Soon as the update comes out I will have a fully deodexed rooted zipaligned version available.
If I can figuire it out, I will also make an Odin image out of it.

I love how Samsung and Verizon take so long to release updates - except when it's to take away the features on your phone. They get those out pretty quickly.
Does this OTA have any benefit??

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It's been pretty well established how to restore proper search functionality. The real question should be what do the kernel and radios do? Any improvements in reception or battery life? Any improvements in device performance? And most importantly, does this change anything regarding bootloader unlocking research and work-arounds?

Here 1. Don't accept it. 2. We can pull radio and kernel and install those.

Update should fail anyway if you don't have a stock recovery. They generally require a stock recovery to update the phone.

I consistently get -75 to -85 dbm so I really don't think there is a reception issue with the 4G radio for me. Now the WiFi is awful for me. That could be improved. GPS is sick.... I lock on in about half a second

There is no other known way to root the device at this time. I'm sure something will come over the next weeks to months but at the moment you are "screwed".
To save yourself from being criticized post any questions in the Q and A forum and not in the dev forum.

I'm not 100% sure as I haven't looked, but I think you can temp-root the phone, do some search on that.

root access wont remain after a reboot....you still can freeze/unfreeze with tibu
Gotcha, so a temp root is like a tethered jailbreak on the iphone. It'll work until I need to reboot. If I temp root I'm assuming I can flash a ROM and the softkey remap??

well you cant flash it because temproot doesnt allow you to install a recovery (afaik)
you could conceivably push the files to /system/ while temprooted and then reboot to apply the changes...but i dont know if the changes stick (never actually temp rooted, but there is some wackiness)...maybe someone else can chime in

From my experience:
Temp root simply adds the su command to the /system partition and allows user-apps to call on it when needed. If you can flash a recovery image via a su terminal, then it would allow a recovery, but I think that is where different phones vary in their temp root capabilities.
You can put files on the /system partition, but replacing the entire partition over ADB would be quite a stretch.

I got root on the first try, but I read my a## of like it was a final exam, lol. I noticed when I rooted the wind version, both the su and super user were pushed to the system but, the super user didn't have the right permission, I still had root, but not the governor (the governor is the superuser app, it makes everything ask for permission that require root privileges) was not enabled.
