I dont want to unlock the bootloader, just root the device so i can get titanium backup running again. Had 4.1.1 rooted and forgot to install root keeper and then upgraded to 4.1.2 and now need root again. Cant find anything on the site regarding this so not sure if its even possible yet. thanks for any help.

Why not unlock the boot loader there is always a Oden to complete stock with locked boot loader so u can return ice returned 2 phones with unlocked boot loaders and never had a issue even one even a MAXX HD lol and one note 2 as long add there's no root they return them. Not having your BL unlocked limits u quite a bit Its your phone just curious
I used casual, and did everything, root unlock and custom recovery

There's no way to root without Odin of root66 just like last build. Expect casual of course and as stated this is the wrong section so I went ahead and reported it for you so adev can move it. Just keep the sections in mind for future posts please.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a root that does only that: give me root access.
Is CASUAL really the only possible way to achieve root? If so, is it necessary that it unlocks the boot-loader and installs custom recovery to achieve this?
I probably wouldn't mind except that I'd like to just be able to do OTA updates as available, which I hear is not possible after running casual, and I really don't want to fiddle with custom ROMs as the stock Note 2 one works so well for me.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions...

Odin and root66 will root your phone. If you recieve a OTA while rooted it will get rid of your root completely and you will have to re-root your phone, it also has the potential to do some wonky **** to it (ive even heard of bricks happening because of being rooted and accepting the OTA).
Once your bootloader is unlocked you wouldnt have to flash roms if you didnt want to unless you wanted to update to a new OTA.

Hi!!
Only reason I have right now to root is to uninstall these stock apps my phone came with. Is there anyway to do it without a root? Or do I need to root it?? I'm currently on MI1..if I do need a root which one is a good tut to follow. Is it better to update fully to MJ7 then root? Just trying to see what's best.
Let me know
Thank you!

I believe that there is root method for MI1 but not a safe one for MJ7 so I would not update.

I think I might have accidentally let my VZW Note II accidentally update to 4.3. (although I swear that it did it by itself without my permission. or it that not possible? I have denied it for a long time)
Anyway, what are the chances of rooting the phone now? How do I root it?
Thanks!

Saferoot.. search it in the forums.. just a reminder bc A LOT have people been doing this.. Rooting your phone does NOT allow you to install custom recoveries or Roms. .so please don't make that mistake of thinking you can flash something

Rooting can be done using Saferoot and framaroot and others.
But be advised as said previously. . This will not allow you to have a custom recovery like TWRP, Philz or CWM and install custom roms! Unless it has a unlocked bootloader. As of now theres no simple friendly way to do this anymore. Only solution is to have mobiletechvideos downgrade your chip and send it out to them for a service fee. There highly recommended on here for doing this. Hopefully a fix will be released soon as many people are working on this.
Good luck

You got the answers on rooting, I would just add that yes after a period of time of you denying the update it will just do it on its own. In the future root and freeze the update program. In this case SDM 1.0

XDA developer h311sdr0id made a post a while back to help out with rooting the sch-i605 on 4.3. You can find his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608827
I'm still on 4.1.2, so I haven't had to use it yet, but this seems to be the method that a lot of other people are using to root their devices on 4.3.
Thanks to k1mu for posting the root method and h311sdr0id for pointing it out for the Note 2.
Good luck!
I successfully rooted using saferoot. So simple and easy just installed a zip on my computer and ran the bat file and that was it. You can Google it to find it. It took 2 minutes

I think I must have read too many threads and got confused.
After using Saferoot, I was able to root in less than 5 minutes.
The only problem now is that I have no idea why I want or need root at all. Are there any interesting apps that require root?

You can use titanium backup and restore apps. You can also download xposed framework and there are some random mods with that and you can also disable ads with ad blockers. Honestly that's pretty much all I use it for. I'm pretty upset this happened to me. In really hoping that the devs are continuing to work on safe strap for our phones so we can at least install other tw roms

My note 2 Is updated to 4.3 and its rooted and I have no Idea how that is possible
Just got this Verizon note 2 from a friend, 4.3 MJ9, rooted it with saferoot method and found that an update was downloaded to the phone. Where is this update so I can safely delete. Also, with all this talk of locked and unlocked bootloader, I was wondering what are my options ROM wise? Way too much Samsung junk to freeze on here and I haven't flashed anything since my Bionic! Thanks guys
Can someone at least tell me where the update downloads to so I can delete it?

Patience..
Update is usually in cache/
Anyway... 4.3 is also locked.. So your only option is SafeStrap..with limited ROMS
After you delete the update freeze the app SDM 1.0 so it doesn't download again.
Brought the phone out of retirement due to theft, thanks again!
Anyone know where I can get the Verizon Original OTA to download? My phone is rooted by the means of downgrading the system and re upgrading with the rooted version of the system and not touching the Kernal. I need warranty service and I presume i would need to re flash the original system without the root built in.amykme know where I can get that system File or does anyone have any other suggestions on how to unroot this phone? I accidental posted ina developer forum with seeing that. I am in the process of trying their suggestions but If someone else has any other suggestions that would be great. Thanks
