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.

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 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

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.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
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.

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

I tried ODINing my GN2 back to stock 4.1.2 tonight - I rooted it a couple months ago. Did not install a custom ROM, just rooted (the process also replaced the Recovery).
Tried ODINing back to stock using the files and information found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
When I run ODIN, it simply fails. Tells me "0 succeeded / 1 failed". Phone still works, I just can't get anywhere in the rolling back to stock bit.
Longer Version:
I've had the phone since the end of January 2013. I rooted it for a couple of reasons, mostly to get rid of bloatware, but also for an app or two that needed root access. I've had zero problems with usability or stability of the device before or since the rooting.
I couldn't tell you which root process I used, but I know it came from an XDA thread, and it automatically replaced the recovery with something touch-based. I'm not sure of the name of the recovery. It did not replace the ROM - I've had less than desirable results from using non-stock ROMs in the past on a handful of other devices, so I wasn't about to risk it.
Since VZW is rolling out the 4.3 update and it looks like a good deal, I want to get my phone back to non-rooted, non-custom-recovery'd state so I can install the update. I'm also doing it because I'm hoping they get the phone up to 4.4 down the line so I can use HCE and GWallet.
Currently, I'm downloading (very slowly, thanks sammobile, for not hosting files on your own servers) the stock VZW 4.3 package from Sammobile.com in hopes I can do something with that and just go straight up from where I am, but I'm not holding my breath since the OTA fails due to the custom recovery.
Any thoughts on what I might try differently to get ODIN to work?
Guys I had the same issue. What I did to resolve my issue is:
1. Get the Verizon upgrade assistance installed on your PC . Here's one from scoobysnack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47368638&postcount=7&nocache=1&z=2813086102250963)
2. Boot to download mode
3. plug in USB and wait for the update message on your PC
4. Update should take about 30-40 min depending on your connection speeds.
5. once updated, your phone should boot back to normal, but you will LOSE everything and have to start all over.
Hope this helps.

Forgive me if I misunderstood the OP but are u stating that u have successfully obtained root access on NC4/NC5?
If so please PM me and share your steps.
Thank you
@streetracer8910 Is this a native root method like saferoot and root de la vega or is it the downgrade method like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748329?

It would have to be a downgrade method as there is not currently a method to natively root KitKat.

If you tar it all up I can post it on mega for you. Maybe make a android file host account.

If you do bundle the files together you should post it in the thread you get the files from so the OP gets proper credit for his files that you are using.
Hey guys,
so I had rooted my Note II quite a while back with CM 11 I believe, and all worked well except my GPS didn't work. After every possible fix I just said screw it and went months with no GPS. I finally got sick of it and decided to just start fresh and went back to stock 4.1. My idiot self though did the Verizon updates all the way to 4.3....
I've been reading around and rooting my phone now that it's on 4.3 seems pretty difficult - is there any for sure methods yet so I can root it and if I decide to, flash a ROM?
It's 4.3 currently and the kernel is: 3.0.31
Thanks guys
saferoot is easy and will work if you are running stock MJ9.

I found "SafeStrap": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704992
Is this what you're referring to, otherwise, mind pointing me in the direction of "SafeRoot"? Not able to find it.
I tried SafeStrap but after installing and running it on my phone, everything is disabled and it says "State: Not Rooted".
search for saferoot. probably show up in the gs 3 forums. works like a champ once you get past getting the drivers right.

No luck unfortunately
It started sending the files and then said:
Your kernel is patched!
This device is not supported.
Then it cleans phone up and ends.
If needed, here's the info on the phone i'm running:
Model: SCH-I605
Android Version: 4.3 (Un-rooted)
Kernel Version: 3.0.31: [email protected]#1
Build Number: JSS15J.I605VRUAND3
@Byrne3155,
Because you're on very latest build (VRUAND3), saferoot will not work.
Other users are reporting that they successfully used ODIN to restore their phone to the 4.3/MJ9 build....which saferoot does work for. (See this thread.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752360 ).

I'm just hitting bad luck apparently. I utilized Odin and followed: Section 1b: How to return to stock 4.X Jelly Bean coming from any rom with Odin
It worked, I confirmed my build is now MJ9:
JSS15J.I605VRUEMJ9
So I downloaded the SafeStrap from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693131), allowed Unknown source installs, installed it, opened it, and just like before everything is disabled:
State: Not Rooted
Safe system: Not Active
@Byrne3155,
Good job with restoring back to MJ9.
You are confusing safestrap and saferoot---they sound similar but are totally different. safeStrap won't help you gain root access because it's not used to root a phone....it is used to help someone load a custom Rom After gaining root.
You will need to use safeRoot to gain root access. Here's the link to saferoot-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48392009
I would really encourage you to do more reading and really learn the differences between saferoot and safestrap before you do a lot more to your phone. I'd hate to hear you report back later that you ended up bricking your phone.
Good luck if you decide to continue with your rooting adventures .

Yikes, sorry about that I'm an idiot ha. I got the two mixed you're right.
I'm fairly comfortable with rooting and the whole process, but the VZW Note II definitely played tough since I made the error of using the OTA updates all the day zzz.
I'll work on this again later making sure I use correct tool this time (saferoot).
Thanks again
