(I'm not sure if it makes sense to roll this into one thread.)
I looked around and couldn't find a 4.3 stock ROM (rooted or not) or kernel that can be flashed from CWM or TWRP recovery. Consider this an official request for someone to upload it if they have it on their machine.
If no one has it, can someone point me in the direction of making this myself? I'm assuming I can run the official RUU then maybe make an image of the result?
If there isn't one available because it can't be done, can someone let me know why?
Thanks... And mods, if this thread is in the wrong place or it seems rude or whatever, feel free to move or close it of course.

Ok, So I updated my phone via Kies and got the official ICS update (Finally) for my AT&T Galaxy Note, Problem is, as expected... it unrooted my phone and I'd like it rooted again, I want to keep the new official stock ICS rom and just want it rooted again to delete all that garbage bloatware to keep my phone sharp, any help?
Do i just re-root it doing it the same way I did before?
Will it ruin my new ICS rom?
Can anyone link me to the files that will root my phone but keep the ICS Stock Rom?
I didnt have a single problem Rooting it the first time on ginerbread, but Im not sure what will happen with a different official rom installed. Just dont wanna have to reinstall ICS again or something, when I just spent about an hour setting it back to how I had everything, then remembered updating unrooted me.
Any advice or help is really appreciated!
Thanks!
Not really in right section more like a Q&A section.
However the devs need a little time to sort through all the code but these guys are smart and root will come soon and they will proudly announce it. Just enjoy for now.

I just odined the cwm .tar and then flashed the superuser .zip (both can be found in the general section, just do a search) and I'm rooted on the official update.

My links....look for gnote page...
ok so just do odin again liek i did before?
And I hope im not asking too much, but can anyone link me to the files I need directly? The last ones I used was from a source outside of XDA (xda was down for maintenance) and I think it gave me a virus on my computer and after doign a system restore today i dont wanna do that again lol. so if its not a problem can someone link me to the right files i need?
Thanks everyone!
Yes.
Now look one post above your last one.
To see the links Mr. Joe is referencing you need to be on a pc.
To install CWM you need to be on a pc.
To root you need a pc.
Mr.Joe would only post trusted links.

I successfully updated my Note to ICS yesterday and want to root it again as well. I looked through the Note section in BigJoe's thread, but can't figure out exactly what files I need. I rooted it with Gingerbread without issue. I've looked through the unlocking/rooting section and the one thread that explains how to root specifically says that the method will NOT work with the official ICS update.
Sorry to sound so dense, but could someone link exactly which files I/we need to root the official ICS via Odin?
What you asked for is in the third post.

ps that odin3 file doesnt work just gives a random script window then force closes
Can anyone put into layman's terms the initial process of rooting a phone? I have the OTA and there's no root method, so I'd like to manually root via TWRP. Is busy box mandatory for root? If not, should I get it or pass on it? Where do I get the package to flash? Then for supersu....where do I get the binaries/zip package for that?
I want to ruu back to actual stock and then manually root, but the only thing I cab find is the root scripts, which don't work. I'm having issues with the 1.22 rooted Rom which I believe stem from stripping out firmware and or hboot and stuff. Since I'm already updated is prefer to work from the actual stock build.
This could be a great starting point for those with phone that are already updated... Anyone care to help?

well chill for one second xD you dont need and cant use any of that mess if you dont have root
what you did is whats preventing you from rooting, which was updating to 1.22, as far as i understand, the current methods dont work for getting you root, sooo, maybe im wrong but i believe theres a trick where u can RUU back to the old 1.33 or whatever, but look in the original development thread
Of course its still possible. Why couldn't I ruu (to 1.22)...run HTC unlock...flash twrp...flash supersu...flash busybox? Boom, I'm rooted on a stock build. I know the current scripts can't do it, bit I can definitely do it manually if I have all the right resources....or if I knew what I was doing... Right??

if the htc site doesnt have it, and you know how, then you should post your method xD
otherwise idk what your saying...
If you want root and s-off use the links in my signature where it says ]ROOT] and [s-off]
Just concerned with root... It says it works up to 1.13. I've already done the OTA so I'm 1.22... Will it still work?

Didn't you already answer your own question in the 3rd post in this thread. You seem to already have the answer.
However, I will say this is discussed in several other threads already just spend a little bit of time searching and you'll find the directions to help you. The time you'll spend searching is as much time as you've put into this thread already.

I have been searching.....I've spent HOURS and HOURS on this forum the past few days. I guess I'm just looking for confirmation that what I want to do is in fact the right thing to do... Everyone is so set on all the root scripts, but noone says what that process actually is. And that's what I want. I want the process so I can start contributing without just taking everyone else's work. I think there's a ton of people in my same situation (htc unlocked, s-on, accepted the OTA) that wants a simple way to get back root without reflashing entire roms. So I guess my three big questions are...
1.) I understand that root requires an app (superuser or supersu) as well as the binaries. I have no idea where these binaries are. Where would I get the supersu ones? Is it flashable? Where do the "binaries" actually go?
2.) Busybox...do you have to be rooted to install it? It seems like you do if this is really a set of tools not included in stock android. Maybe I'm wrong though. And more importantly....where do you get it. I'll be honest, I haven't searched around on this issue yet, so maybe the answers already out there... I just wanted to ask in case someone felt like layin down some knowledge.
3.) The flashable zip. I guess I could unzip one and see what's inside, but I'm sure someone on here can explain so it makes more sense than I'd gather by just unzipping and looking around. Like for instance, so flashable zips are entire roms...some are just radios...some are simple tweaks. This leads me to believe there's a script inside defining what to actually do. Let's say I wanted to create my own flashable zip which included TWRP, the root binaries and supersu, as well as busybox. Do I create a perl script called your_moms_a_skank and include it with all the other files? Is there a certain filename (instructions) the android operating system looks for when you flash a zip? Shoot i dunno.....I guess I'll start ripping these apart and seeing whats inside....
If you can't answer all three, that's fine. Any information is better than none... You all are awesome and I would buy you all cupcakes if I knew where you lived... Don't actually tell me where you live because the cupcakes will never come. I'll eat them long before they make it to the post office. I'm just saying....I'd consider buying you a cupcake. And it's the thought that counts...so you have to be happy about this.
Just a quick question why are there two dev sections for this device? what is the difference? is one for the older gb and froyo roms and the new for ICS and soon to be jellybean? I am looking into how to root this for a friend. I have a samsung gs2 with an unlocked bootloader I have never rooted a phone with a locked bootloader. So how do you guys go about this? For my phone I have a pc program called odin that does low level flashing so all I do is use it to install cloclworkmod or twrp and then flash su and install the.apk and busybox. Is there sometihng similar for this phone or does everything have to be done by ADB? If someone explains which dev section I should go to I will figure it out myself but the more info yoy guys can give me the better. I do still have to find out what software my friend has. I also want her to do this by herself so I want to be able to explain it to her. Thanks in advance.
Use this. It's doesn't it all for you.

The Android Development and Original Android Development forums are organized pretty much as they sound: Original Development will have threads for programs, mods, roms, kernels, etc. that are the original work of the developer. Android Development has threads for those that are built off of someone else's existing work (e.g. A rom that is a collection of tweaks pulled from other roms). I agree with the previous poster on using regawMOD, it is the simplest way to unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery and gain root access all at once. That being said, if your friend is on 1.22.651.3, there is an additional step to manually move the root package to the sd card. Read page 80-84 on the dev's thread for more info.

Thank you to everyone that answered I looked around after I posted and saw that all in one app to do the whole process that is cool I figured that would be the way to go. I will Be a let to root this phone with no problem. I gotta say we have come a long way from entering adb commands to push things to a phone to just a click and boom everything is done the beauty of xda.

Just use the evo lte toolbox and do htcdev unlock. It's a little more complicating then odin l,Odin is more like using an RUU and turning it into a kitchen to flash modified roms

No tweaks needed. I see a lot of different roms in the Rom section I didn't see what I need can someone link me to one? Previous owner already put cm recovery on this phone. I just need a stock rooted Rom.
I guess a supersu flash file link would be great I searched but didn't find one.

Stock rooted ROMs are posted in Development; I think you may have just missed them.
You can also easily find them on my Index thread under "Stock Rooted ROMs" under the main heading CUSTOM ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Also, you asked for "pure stock" but also "debloated" which is a bit contradictory. It might be difficult to find exactly what you are looking for; since what is considered "bloat" versus a useful app may differ from one person to another. My suggestion would be to install a stock rooted ROM, and just debloat yourself as you see fit. And this may already be what you intend.
Sorry I realize how stupid this is going to sound but I thought it was worth a shot asking Anyway. So there is a prerooted stock rom for ND7 which is custom recovery flashable and doesn't touch the bootloader (if im not mistaken). so for those who took the OTA update clearly they have no way to flash a custom recovery do to the locked bootloader and I understand that. But what if I convert the prerooted rom into an odin flashable tar? Any chance I could be onto something or my setting myself up for a brick from hell!!!
a little more info
As ive surpassed 100 views and no response I thought perhaps I'd elabrate a little for people to know exactly what I'm talking about.
I want to make it clear my goal is not to unlock the bootloader, right now I just want root I'm not a master dev and I'm not going to go try to do something i'm incapable of, the reason I'm posting this question is because if there is a dev that would know if this was a good idea or definitely a brick, and/or if there is a soul braver then me to test my theory.
Anyway all that out of the way I think everyone is aware that the ND7 update locked the bootloader. I think they are also aware that towlroot, saferoot, kingo, or vroot all will not work. cf-autoroot will also fail. flashing a recovery is impossible with the locked bootloader.
So here is what my idea is.
In the past I have been able to flash stock roms with Odin so long as they are the same Rom, same version ect.
N3BULA Team made a Pre-Rooted stock ND7 Rom made for people who have not yet updated to nd7. This rom is made for Philz or CWM it is a zip and it is not a tar, and I belive this rom doesn't touch your bootloader though I could of course be wrong.
This is a link to the rom thread I refer to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765021
rwilco12 Made a very thorough tutorial about how to make an Odin Flashable rom using a linux machine, and I have no issues using linux.
this is the link to the tutorial I am refering too
http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=92
So now my point is if use rwilco12's tutorial to convert n3bula's Pre-Rooted rom into a odin flahable tar and flash it on the 1605 that already has ND7 on it...any chance it will be the root solution everyone is trying to achieve...or is it certain death...If anyone can help please do...I'm not doing this to get any credit..if I ever upload my converted tar all credit would go to team n3bula for making the rom...but all i want is some sort of way to get root on ND7 that's all!!!

Well I can tell you our build does not touch the bootloader but what you are trying to accomplish I do not think is possible. Sad to say, I think this would result in a bad brick..not sure it would be none fixable but why risk it?
