I got a replacement phone from Assurian today. Note 2 with I605VRUEMJ9.
I'd like to be able to root it to run apps requiring boot. Can you please point me at the thread on how to root this phone? I've used ODIN and CASUAL before on other Note2's but this is the first one I have with MJ9.
I read in the Safestrap dev thread this:
Sounds like it requires root already? I'm a little lost here. Thanks.
HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
1.Requirement: Root
2.Requirement: Allow APK install from Unknown Sources
3.Download the Safestrap APK
4.Find the APK using a Filemanager tool and open it on your device, then click "Install".

Thanks to k1mu for posting the root method and h311sdr0id for pointing it out for the Note 2.
Good luck.

If you have installed CWM (which you really should as this is your pathway to all the modding and custom roms).
Then you can flash via CWM this tiny root package.

would you please help me installing CWM?
All you gotta do is download it off the market and let it install.

Do not install the one off the market, it can't wipe data properly, doesn't support external SD card and might have other bugs.
Use the lastest CWM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Which would be : latest: recovery-en-goapk-0625-2034.zip
Use instructions from here, they are very straightforward:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600
The instructions you need start with "INSTALL CWM RECOVERY:"
installing CWM needs root?!
step 3:
3) Use *Root Explorer* or some other file explorer app to navigate to: /system/etc. Look and see if there is a file there named "install_recovery.sh" If it is there, then delete it. If it is not, then you are ok to proceed to the next step

For now, you can just navigate to that folder and check if "install_recovery.sh" is there. If it's not there, then you don't need to do this step.

The Root explorer app bypasses non rooted phones. Don't worry I thought the same thing you did. Just buy the app. Its worth it anyways.

Does anyone have a help tutorial for unrooting an Galaxy S2 using a Mac?
Help!
I tried all the Mac tutorials I've found and they all weren't successful for me. I ran windows 7 in VM ware and rooted that way.

Mac's should be able to use Hemidall. Think this post should of been in the Q/A Section :|
Try this guide for going back to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432&highlight=stock
This should be in the Q&A forum.
If all you want to do is unroot, you can do it from your phone. Use a root file explorer to remove
system/bin/su
system/xbin/su
system/app/superuser.apk
and optionally
system/xbin/busybox (if installed)
reboot
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
So my DNA is unlocked but how does the root process work?
1. i can't find a good .img anywhere
so i was never able to flash in bootloader
2. i can't copy and paste into my sd card?
3. how does backups work?
4. how does flashing work?
5. how is root enabled?
Google how to root droid dna. There will be downloads for you and explanation on how to root

If you really want to know (that is, understand) how rooting works, here is the article that explained it to me, linked from this thread.
Also, see this guide.
For all the people asking how to get their root back from the MK2 update:
Be sure that the Galaxy S4 drivers are installed properly on your computer.
Download the root exploit from the dev’s thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
The exploit was actually developed for MJ7 software version, but works fine with MK2
Enable USB Debugging in phone’s main Settings.
Extract the zipped root exploit by using 7zip on WinZip, you’ll notice three items once extracted: install.bat, install.sh and a folder named files.
Attach your device to the computer.
Run the exploit script “install.bat” by double-clicking it.
A CMD window will show up and will immediately communicate with your device. If the device has been found, the script will instantly make an attempt to root the VZW Galaxy S4 running MK2 software.
Once managed to get superuser privileges, your device should reboot automatically.
What's the difference between this thread and the ACTUAL thread?

So is the other thread.
Easy Peasy
I have to say THANK YOU to the DEV that came up with this! That was so easy I can't even tell you. I was really bummed out that I couldn't root after the 4.3 update. I didn't trust VROOT. I don't want anything Chinese on my phone. This is genius. I did have to toggle my USB back and forth and then the install ran like a champ. I was really missing Titanium Backup, which I just reinstalled without a hitch! Thank you again!

Before you read this trough : This is not a question about how to root my phone or add root access to an app. This is about how I can add root acess to my phone. I mean like ading root acess to a phone where no root is yet released. If anyone knows a github repo with the commits of adding root to the phone, please tell me. Thanks!

I currently don't look to compile for a specific device but I want it as basic knowledge when it comes to the case of a new device that has no root yet.

"How I can add root access to my phone" = root your phone? There's not much difference between the two sentences. Unless you mean adding the root path to the device without installing SuperSU or any other SU app?

Look. You have a phone that doesn't have root access. So what I would do is go to xda, find a root IMG to flash on my phone and then flash it. That would give me root access to the phone. The thing is, if there is no flashable IMG I would develop one by myself. Now I can't find any tutorials or sources of how to build a image like that.

1. Such methods would depend on your phone, not all phones go through .img file flash.
2. Usually I would associate .img files as kernel. So I assume you want to flash a custom kernel?
3. If you indeed want to flash a custom kernel, you still need root on the ROM before the custom kernel can have root access.

There are several steps to go about to developing a rooting procedure for a device when none has been released yet. The first key step would be to identify whether the device has a looked bootloader. If it does then you will need to resort to an exploit to gain root access rather then flashing a pre-rooted boot.img for example unless you can figure you a way of bypassing the img signature check which in many cases using an exploit is easier. A good basic place to start looking for exploits is here. You will then have to do research on how to exploit the security flaw which involves knowledge of Assembly, C, and Linux. If the bootloader is unlocked you can attempt to make a superboot or autoroot type boot.img which I would suggest taking an existing .img of those types and disasembling them to learn how they were created. Let me know if you still have any questions.
