Any videos and/or detailed instructions for rooting the Note 3 that is successful/stable? I found some on youtube, but none for sprint.
How about the detailed instructions in the development section .... all you have to do is read ..
Look in original development chainfire auto root and twrp are there ...

I've already read them, but for a noob, it's still hard to understand.. It just gives u the files and a little info. I'm still a noob, so I need very detailed step by step instructions.. Don't want to mess up my note 3 lol

I suggest all users take a breath and relax, I would fully expect that qbking will soon be doing a video instruction. But, it appears that, generally speaking, rooting procedures are not much different than previous Samsung Sprint devices anyhow.
Knowing the likes of the contributors/developers that are already posting in the development sections I am sure a good set of instructions will be forthcoming, I promise.

I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 I777 with a stock kernel version of 2.6.35.7 and that's exactly how its listed on my phone. I'm trying to root my phone and cannot for the life of me find the unsecure kernel. Could someone please assist me in finding the proper kernel for rooting my phone? Thank you for looking...
Please, please read the stickies in all the sgs2 forums before posting.

There is not a million stickies in the i777 section. If you can't read the few that there are then you should stay stock or get an iPhone.

Sorry guys I'm just not very good at looking for something I dont quite understand. Ive googled numerous times and all I get are results with 2.6.35.7 followed by a million numbers and symbols after the kernel number and mine doesn't have that. It literally just says "2.6.35.7" in my phone and thats where im getting lost. I cant find an unsecure kernel code for my particular kernel.
How about the stickies in the general section? Geez this is really starting to piss me off as it wasn't that bad before people have to learn to read before tbey start screwing with their phone, that's what i did with this phone before i even got it so i knew exactly what to do when i got the phone. No one wants to spoon feed people who don't even attempt to read the stickies. There are atleast 2 stickies that tell you how to root your phone that i found within seconds. Case in point, READ AND SEARCH BEFORE POSTING

Your kernel version has F all to do with reading the damn stickies within the i777 forum. Jesus.

Forget abouty flashing your phone for now. Just leave it stock. After all, the I777 is an awsome phone running stock right out of the box.
Now start reading. Follow the forums. Study all the stickies like others have suggested. When you fully understand how things fit together, what things are called, etc. then you can safely flash your phone to one of the great firmwares offered here.
I felt bad...no, not really...but here...took a whole 5 seconds to find this.....

I don't know why but this one pissed me off more than the other threads, it's like looking at the stickies are too difficult or something

There is a total of 17 stickies in all the sgs2 forums combined. So please just take the time to at least read the ones that pertain to your problem. I.E. rooting.

Especially when his question is answered in the first post of one of them which is fairly prominently labeled.
However, I agree, if you couldn't even find the clearly labeled sticky on rooting, or creepy's general flashing guide, you need to leave your phone stock. You WILL screw up your phone in a way that is difficult to recover if you can't even follow his guide, and I'd say you have a very good chance of being one of the few people who manages to hardbrick an I777.
Creepyncrawly is correct. I was very overwhelmed when I first found this forum. While there are only a few stickies many are very deep in the number of posts to read through. Patience is a virtue here for sure. It takes a lot of time to read through a few stickies that are 400 - 1000 posts deep but it's worth it as you can skim a large number of them for important keywords and highlights.
I was converted to 2.3.6 (stock) and needed a fix for the battery issue. But as recommended I read every sticky (many times over) until I started getting a better grasp of the rooting concept. I was an iPhone user that jailbroke it many times over and felt that process seemed so much easier. After rooting my phone a couple times now and using a couple different kernels and flashing ICScrewD a couple times I'm comfortable with saying it's just as easy.
I just redid my phone yesterday morning (1) because I felt it wasn't running optimally and (2) because I wanted to redo the process for the sake of learning. In no time flat I was back up and customizing my screens again with a fresh ICScrewD install.
CnC and Entropy among many others have done great work here and are very informative. I greatly appreciate the work they've put in here and a few other forum sites.
I rooted a while back and my wifi would no longer work. I'm trying to completely unroot my phone and revert to the stock firmware and I'm absolutely clueless about every single step. I'm new to Android (been an iPhone user for years) and this is confusing me.
I downloaded the zip file from galaxys2root site (can't post the link since I'm new) and I cant seem to unzip the file properly or find where it's unzipped to. Now, when I try to open Odin, it closes out immediately.
I'm completely lost. No questions are answered on that page and I need step by step instructions.
Well of you'd looked around a little before posting, you would have seen that there is a step by step instruction thread. Go look in the development section stickies.

I actually looked around for several hours. I don't understand any of the technical jargon on this site whatsoever.
I'm sorry if I ruined your life.

Galaxys2root site is poopoo. His tutorial gave me yellow triangle. BUT it lead me here where all the answers are: ) - the development section or search button.

Read this whole guide, every word.
hello everyone; I wish I woulda posted this in Q&A
Sorry that the Moderator Hijacked this......
......next time post in Q & A
Thanks to everyone in advance - most helpful website !

First of all, wrong forum bud. This is General, not Q&A.
Second, if you have read though the forums, there are root methods specifically for the Note. Don't use another phone's unlock method.
Look at the pictures, watch the video, you'll have roots in 10 minutes.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
+1 to what slapshot591 said. The excellent n00b guide by appdroid and the startup guide for rooting by gordec (both stickies in this forum) should give you all the info that you need. I think there is also a ROOT/UNROOT guide by roloracer which is excellent. A simple search of the forums should give you what you need.
Man please read and u will find all the answers bro its so easy to root and have ics on this phone lol any noob can do it painlessly good luck

Like everyone else has mentioned... read the boards.
we have all rooted our phones by reading the guides on this excellent boards, and there are Stickied topics for a reason.
secondly, when you mention NCS, are you talking about NFC? (Near Field Communication) because yes it was masked out by ATT, but is easily attained.
there is an entire thread dedicated to it....
[MOD] NFC on AT&T Stock ROM (CWM)
I was just catching up on the thread in the general section that says root has been achieved, and then the last post says that you can find the info in the development section? I don't see a development section for our phone yet, are they referring to the sprint models development thread? I'm apparently missing something here... When I first bookmarked our forum there was a development section, but I don't see it there anymore?
I think you need at least 10 quality posts to view the development thread. I've lurked here for a few years with not much to add since I'm no dev. It's time for me to give back where I can.
I believe they made all sections (General, themes, q&a and development) and opened them up together. After a few post in the General you should see it because it's definitely there

U r not alone...im not able to see it either, and i need it so i can see the how to guide for rooting...i hope its not too hard because ive never done it on any of my phones before

I am just confirming that this method works if you need clockwork mod and or root access.
It is working like a dream on my T999.
For those of you looking for a Video guide qbking77 put this video together for a quick guide. Be sure to thank him for that.

Glad I have been around for years then :-D, this was news to me.
yes, looks like the Dev forum is disabled for us rookies
Yeah, same here for me. I've been a lurker for years and now I "have to" be more involved. I guess it's not so bad.

Yea, that's ridiculous. Now we are going to have a bunch of noobs running around posting nonsense just so they can read the dev thread (not saying you are noob, looks like you've been here a while)
I have written a lengthy guide (i use that loosely) called Don't Panic for people to read before attempting to unlock, root, or flash their phone. I meant for it to be in general but in my confusion it was mistakenly posted in Q&A. Please take the time to read it before, during, or after any of these procedures, its a lot to read but it is very valuable information
Thanks! I'm sure it will be very helpfull..
Great guide. I wish that people had to pass a test with questions based off of it to be able to post in the development sections.
Updated with the most common troubleshooting scenarios new users are likely to encounter
Updated with more common and not so common issues
good stuff, I could have used this last week when I was sweating through rooting my 1 day old evo lte :good: thx!
Added another variation of boot loop to troubleshooting section
Expanded MD5 section with information on how to use it
Added an overview pertaining HTC Dev Unlock procedure
Thanks for the Don't Panic thread. Just what the doctor ordered!!!
Sent from my LTEVO via XDA Premium
Added yet even more information. CPU Governors and I/O Schedulers
Another rare(read odd) and very specific troubleshooting scenario added
Updated once more lol
Yep its another update
Wish HTC would take a note out of your book with the updates.
With so many different versions of hboot and S-ON/s-off, it needs clarification. Previous phones used to be more localized and generalized as well. This one is spread out and easy to mess up.
Ask me about my ability to annoy complete strangers!
They started off so strong with their support of android....what happened?
Added a section explaining NAND Memory and Partitions
Guide is now a sticky
