Hello everyone, I'm new to this Forum and a Noob to the Note 2..... I just bought my Note 2 last week, but have not had a chance to really mess with it since I have been working long hours, school, and taking care of the Fam. My question is, is it safe to root on the latest OTA? I read in several places that it wasn't and that's why I am unsure, I will try to do more reading on it tonight. Or maybe you Guys or Gals can direct me to the the correct link or thread, once again sorry if it has been already asked and thanks for your help!
I rooted mine on the new ota, took a few tries but worked on my laptop.

Read thid thread very thoroughly and if you have questions ask them before you do anything to your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
Its easier to ask first than spend hours trying to fix a mess up. If you dont know which updates you have taken go to Settings/About Phone and look at your build number. If your build number is VRALJB follow the link under section 1a for VRALJB, if the build number is VRALL4 follow the link for VRALL4, if you are on VRAMC3 (which is the latest update) follow the link for VRAMC3. Read, read, and read again until you understand everything you will be doing, if you dont fully understand then come ask questions first and someone will help you as soon as they can.

Hi everyone I am Sean, and I just got my ATT SGS2 Yesterday. I think I followed a rooting guide for the non ATT one. The rooting was successful but my WIFI is down with no MAC Address, also I cannot seem to get any custom rom working.
Is there a way to get the Stock ATT Kernel so I can flash and start over. Is there a rooting guide specificly for the ATT version?
Thanks ahead of time!

If u flashed the wrong kernel, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294574. Not trying to be mean, but it took me less then a minute of skimming over the Android development section to find this.
Here is the normal rooting guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301682.

Umm, Sorry I wasn't aware I should be looking in the Development section? Since that isn't the right section...?

Please read *before* you post a question. There is a lot of information available on the XDA I777 forums. Please read all the stickies in the general section, as well as the library sticky in the development section. You've been on xda-developers for several years and made many posts, so you *should* know the forum rules. People here will be glad to help you if you do your part first, but if you are looking to have your hand held, you will probably get little help.

Excuse me, I did read. Why would I look in the development section for a troublshooting issue? Please do not post unhelpful comments like that. You obviously can't comprehend the issue fully.

It's just that your questions are already answered in sticky posts in both the general forum and the development forum. I thought it would be better if you wnet and read the answers there rather than taking the time to write the answers all over again.
You clearly didn't read if you went and flashed something not meant for your device without VERY explicit instructions on what is OK to flash and how to flash it.

Actually as I have already explained I did read plenty, I found nothing in the Q&A Section, which is where a solution to a "Question" should be.
And the Guide I followed which was from XDA never once stated that it was only for the International version. Nor did it say it would not work for the AT&T version.
I have been with this community a long time and have never had someone as rude or unhelpful as you. Please do not reply to posts if you are not helping in anyway.
Even though you may have read threads in the Q&A section, a simple search would have pulled up the IMPORTANT threads taht are located in the Dev section that would have answered your questions... and why are they in the Dev section you ask? Because, when flashing anything to your phone like a rom or kernel, its considered DEVELOPMENT and you would have know that if you would have read.
Now go read some more and search. Thread closed.

The only thing more annoying than people not reading the stickies is people who quote an entire post when they give the next answer.
Thank you guys

I know ..right ??....LOL
I've tried numerous times with numerous methods. Can't seem to get it down. I consider myself pretty tech savvy. Any tips for a noob?
Read the instructions from the developer over and over. Then read it again before doing anything else. Read them several times in their entirety before beginning action. Most issues arise because people think they've read the instructions, but they missed that one key item.
Follow THIS step by step guide, assuming you are bone stock (as the guide states) and you will be golden if you do not skip anything.
I used his CASUAL one-click method (on mac, windows should be easier) and it was my first time rooting. 0 Problems.
Know exactly what version of stock software you have installed on your device. Make sure it lines up with any guide you are following. If you're not sure, ask. Make sure you have a comprehensive understanding of the following concepts before proceeding. If you're confused as to what any of these are, search the forums and google. As a last result, ask. Don't just think you know what these are. Be positive in your knowledge of these terms:
Root
(Locked) Bootloader
Recovery
Rom
Mod
Kernel
Flash/Install
Cache
Dalvik-Cache
Lastly, back up everything, every time. Best laid plans and all that. You can never be too safe.
Good luck
It all depends on whether you're on a Mac or PC. I had tons of problems with my Mac...I finally had to use my wife's work PC. There are also tons of Youtube videos with step by step instructions and links to the software...

Your first noob mistake is posting a question and not giving any details. What version are you on? Baseband? What have you actually tried? There are more than enough people to help guide you in the right direction. But as he said, do read until your eyes hurt. Then go away and when you come back, read some more

I am rooted now. Just working on getting the bootloader unlocked now so I can flash ROMS.
Just got the Verizon S4. Is there a way right now to flash it with stock jelly bean, with no bloat? If so can someone point me in the right direction?
If not possible now, will it be?
Thank you
Root just got working yesterday and recovery earlier today, big items to get roms going. No vanilla roms out really yet. Give it a little time to stabilize. If you are planning on waiting make sure not to accept ota updates or the way root and recovery are done might be patched.

Can anyone point me to the stock software that I can use with Odin to return my Verizon note 2 back to stock? I have tried searching but am not sure I have found the correct version. I am currently running CleanROM 3.5v. I have had a ton of issues with my device before and after rooting and need to return it to Verizon. Please don't hate on me for asking. I know someone here can point me to exactly what I need, as I'm not sure what exactly I am looking for. I don't need help flashing, just help finding the correct file. Thanks in advance for any help!
