[Q] Rooting on 4.3

Luigiman765 · Feb 28, 2014

Hello all,

I recently got my hands on a Note 2 running Android 4.3 on the MK6 bootloader. I have done a bit of research, but am still somewhat confused about how to root the phone. If I am correct, I just use Odin to flash this:

Onto the phone to have root access, correct?

Next, if I want to have CWM, I flash this:

If there are any steps I am missing, please let me know. I would like to procede with as much knowledge as possible to avoid bricking the phone. I am aware that doing this will trip the Knox e-fuse, and I am ok with that.

Thanks in advance!

#1 is a full ROM like you have but rooted.

Try this
http://download.chainfire.eu/280/CF...uto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip

#2 is good. You need to do that before doing number 1.

Alright, thanks!

So I flash the CF Auto Root via Odin, then CWM, and then I can flash any ROM, right?

Thanks for the help

Here's a guide for TWRP recovery
http://www.addictivetips.com/android/what-is-twrp-how-to-install-use-it-on-android-devices-guide/

Download is here to flash in ODIN
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0lteatt/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar

It's a little easier to use to start.

Always make backups !!!

So, today I tried to root my phone, and as soon as I was finished flashing CF Auto Root, Knox blocked the root and said that "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked."
Does that mean I cannot root my phone?

No you're fine. Go to Google Play, Download the Update for SuperSU. Update it, it will pop up a window and ask if you want to disable Knox.

SAY YES !

Thanks for the answer, but there is no option to update SuperSU from Google Play, and I can't uninstall it either.
Is there a direct link where I can download the file to update the SuperSU to disable Knox?

Login to Google on your PC.
Try going here.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en

It should say Installed. Click the Installed button, make sure phone is listed. See if it will install from there.

Hmm, unfortunately it says that it is already installed on the phone I am trying to root, and I can't install it again

It should say installed. When you click it another window pops up. It should list your phone. Just click install button.

If that does not work go to Application Manager and try and remove it.

Yeah, I clicked the "Installed," but I cannot click on the phone that I have this on, it says already installed
And I can't uninstall it from Appilcation Manager, just "Force Stop" or "Turn Off"

I am very stuck unfortunately ):

Interesting. I've never seen that before. And I really just saw it because mine is doing the same thing.....

Try flashing via ODIN

http://download.chainfire.eu/280/CF...uto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip

Or is that the one you did?

EDIT:

I just uninstalled my updates and flashed this. Worked for me.
http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip

Not saying it's going to work, should really. It's the lastest.

Thanks for the research, so I should try flashing that via recovery?

Yes. That's the latest version

Agh, still nothing - I can't uninstall SuperSU and flashing did not help; Knox still is working.
Should I just wipe from recovery first?

Whole lotta WTF. I'm now running into the same issue with the Note2_lte_e250_R7. 2 ROM I flashed.

Everything I have tried is not getting root to stick. I will kick it's a$$.

Trying a couple more things. I'll let you know when I succeed.

Superuser installation issues after installing over SuperSU

It seems SuperSU is writing a file that is confusing Superuser installation on stock builds. If you want to install Superuser over SuperSU, you will need to manually remove the /system/etc/.has_su_daemon file.

I have the /system/etc/.has_su_daemon file.l I'm creating a CWM zip to remove it.

Hopefully that's the solution.

And it wasn't ..... I created a flashable zip that deleted them and it didn't work.

But I did kick it's a$$.

Like I said earlier I running the 【ROM】【March 01】【4.3】Note2_lte_e250_R7. 2 . It's a N7105 port for the ATT.

So I knew there was something called a Multitool in the N7105 threads from Dr Ketan.

I flashed that in TWRP, it's an aroma install type flash, so I only choose Root and install Busybox.

Like all of our other flash installs it looked like it completed successfully.

Every flash or ODIN I've done or most today, I've gotten into adb shell and did
ls -l /system/xbin/su. never saw the file.

After flashing root and busybox I finally saw
shell@t0lte:/ $ ls -l /system/xbin/su
-rwxr-xr-x root root 100452 2008-08-01 05:00 su

Woo Hoo !

Got into phone, ran supersu, still said no binary.

Not sure why I did this really buy I typed su while in adb shell, Supersu window popped up on my phone, I clicked accept and all root stuff is working.

I have no clue why this worked. But it did, for me anyways. Hopefully it'll work for you, Luigi.

Thanks for all the info!

So, let me get this straight:

I don't need the ROM you're running on my phone. What I should do is find the Multitool, flash it via recovery, and root and Busybox. Then, connect my phone to my computer to run adb (which I don't really know how to do, so I'll have to look that up), type in su, and then from there everything should work as normal.

Also, an extra piece of information I forgot to mention earlier that you might find useful: SuperSU does NOT start at all; it just immediately closes when I click the icon, and then the Knox warning comes up. Did this happen for you?

Really have no clue.All I know is it worked for me.

For me SuperSU opened all he way. It told me I didn't have the su binary, do a manually install. Everything I did, did not work until my last post. 99% sure it will work for you.

For ADB use this....
http://four-nineteen.com/veronica/XDA Developers/Nook Tablet/DRIVERs/ADB + Fastboot + Drivers.zip

Unzip and save only the files that start with ADB. Create a directory like ADB under C:\.
Copy all the ADB files to C\ADB

Go to command prompt in windows, cd to c:\adb directory (whatever you created)

Type adb devices. Make sure it has a device listed

C:\xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar>adb devices
List of devices attached
8675309JennieJennie device

If so, type adb shell

C:\xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar>adb shell
shell@t0lte:/ $

_______________________________________________________________________________

Just found something else that works.... I've tried it also.

Flash the AGNI kernel. (Awesome addition to a ROM)
https://app.box.com/s/9wlk6y1o50gbhmhvjp2u
Credit to @mjohnson4580 for fix.

Then flash the root update.
http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip

See what that does.

Here's info in the kernel
