Hey all, I'm trying to root and get LiquidSmooth on my brother's AT&T Note. I've rooted a few devices in the past and my own Note II is running on 4.4 Slimbean. Problem is all the guides I can find for rooting are assuming that the phone is on ICS or GB. Is there any way to root if the phone is already on JB?
I did find these two thread with links to the original firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657279
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657262
Would I just flash one of the above using Odin and then follow the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586223 ... or is there a more up to date guide somewhere out there?
Also, using an US AT&T Note is the Bell or Rogers firmware the equivalent version?
I've tried searching and couldn't easily find any information on this so any input is appreciated.
It does not matter what Android version as long as you are not installing a kernel to root. To root ANY version safely look here:

Hi everyone,
So I just did some research about rooting and custom firmwares and Android in general the past few hours and I finally rooted my Galaxy S2 I9100 with T-Mobile Branding (running Android 2.3.5) using DoomLords root (zergrush exploit): forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
Then I wanted to make a full backup of my firmware because I wanted to try out a custom firmware. Of course I did research and I found out that there is clockworkmod which allows you to do backups. Now I don't have that.
I found a thread on another forum which explains a method where you use Chainfire's method to flash a Kernel (using the inital CF Root flasher) as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 which is actually for the Galaxy Nexus. Will this also work with the S2?
I've also checked this thread which contains several kernels with CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I got Android 2.3.5 and Kernel ending on KK1 (this Kernel isn't listed there)
Which method should I use? Which kernel should I use of those listed in the above thread? What's the difference between them?
I would really appreciate it if someone would help me out because I am afraid of bricking my phone.
Also this is a wonderful forum and I will try my best to contribute and help people out using the little knowledge I got
Greetings
alright so after searching both here and various other sites on this question i have found nothing very helpfull...
so at the risk of being told i need to search i have to ask. I have a ATT Galaxy note I717. I did get the OTA update to 4.0. I have not yet rooted my phone but im trying to do so. Mostly so i can flash t-mobile onto it for it work properly with my 4G.
So my question is. Were is the root process for a note that already has 4.0.
I followed other instructions here http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-sgh-i717-att-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-90018/ and here http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-method-2odinheimdall/.
After installing such CMW Touch i can not get it to boot to recovery. Just goes into download mode and as welll as i do not have superuser or root acces on the phone. If any one knows where i can find the procedure to gain full root access so i may start playing around that would be greatly appreciated
Wrong Model.

The second link you provided was for the International Note. That may be the problem. Use the method here: http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/. I know for a fact this procedure works, as I have done it on my own Note no less than a dozen times due to the problem in my thread.
Good luck and happy rooting!

It says for ginger bread rooting. I am running 4.0 and do not wish to go back to 3. Will i keep my current 4.0 with that method or will it be flashed back to ICS
nvm do appologize,,, just caught my own noob mistake... lol
seeing that you have used this method before... when i go to flash the zip file it gives me an error and says it fails... yet i have super user and root acces on the phone now?
You don't have to root your phone to flash a modem. You don't need to have CWM to flash a modem either.
You can install the modem using Odin3 and your pc.
Agreed ....
Thank you ranger ....g
Hey All.
I rooted my phone previously using method one from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 and installed clockwork mod using this: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...ckworkmod-recovery-on-rooted-galaxy-s2-i9100/
My phone's carrier is Optus and I am currently running Android 4.0.4 with baseband version I9I00XXLQ6 and build number IMM76D.XWLPW
I'm wanting to update my firmware to Android 4.1 .. can anyone point me in the right direction of some instructions which will enable me to do this with my current phone versions?
Thanks
I have recently flashed Jellybam onto my S2... (4.1.2)
Other than I cant find google talk on the latest version, its works perfectly.
The instructions are pretty clear once you have your phone rooted with Clockworkmod. It only takes a small number of steps and a couple of minutes.
This is the thread for the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903162
and it points you to this site
http://www.igio90.net/device/samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100/
I'm no expert (not by a long way!) but shout if you have any questions and if I can help you out, I will!
cheers,
Paul.

Just download the rom you want from dev section, place on sdcard and flash via CWM same as you would any other rom.
Hi,
I could really do with some help regarding rooting my Korean yp-gb1. I've done a lot of forum searching here in xda, read several posts, and still I haven't found a solution - hence this thread.
What I have found is that the Korean version does not root with superoneclick like other versions seem to effortlessly do.
There was a suggestion in this thread to use a modified stock kernel, odin and tegrak kernel. I have the same stock firmware (2.3.6) that is mentioned but unfortunately my kernel (KRKPH) does not match that of the one the OP has (KRKPC). I posted a reply to the thread a few weeks ago but have not had any reply.
I've recently rooted a Nexus 7 and rooted and installed a custom ROM on a Motorla Milestone, but this Korean galaxy s wifi 4.0 is proving a little troublesome.
Help please.
http://supportgp.tistory.com/16
Here is a link to YP-GB1 Firmware list
it's in korean so you might want to use google translator
However, They do not have KPH firmware
so get KPC first and use FOTA upgrade (on air upgrade)
to update to KPH
then use tegrak kernel to root.
Hi,
I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II I605 running Android 4.1.1 that I had originally rooted via Odin and followed instructions on the galaxynote2root website last Jan/Feb in 2012
I would like to upgrade to a stock ROM of 4.3 and keep root and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction in regards to which ROM to use and the steps to do so. I really only use root for the wifi tether and would like to keep the phone as close to stock as possible. I've gone through a number of different forums and posts but can't seem to find some good instructions with a corresponding recommendation on an Official OTA 4.3 ROM to use. I've found a lot variations on 4.3 ROMs, but most of them have gutted a lot of things or discussing having to flash firmware which makes me nervous.
Also, is it true I may be forced to take the OTA in the near future and potentially soft brick my phone if I don't either revert back to stock or install a 4.3 ROM which disables the update app. I'm not sure if the ROM i'm currently running has this disabled or not.
Thanks in advance for any help,
eugenikz
Beanstown or sophisticated rom will be the official stock 4.3, however your gonna have to flash the Official MJ9 firmware via Odin. You could take the OTA but the bootloader will be locked afterwards. There is root available with the OTA stock but you won't be able to load a custom recovery therefore no more custom roms.
+1. I did this with my note2. Was the same as yours. I'm now on sophisticated 2.0 highly recommended. I also updated recovery to Phils, which seems to be the conventional wisdom for flashing 4.3.
