Update: If you want root access only and don't want to have a custom recovery, Good news now you can do that without tripping knox
See this thread here

The official 4.4.2 for our Note 2 has just started rolling out and many of us want to root it too.
So here is a simple guide I have made to root official 4.4.2

This guide works on all builds of 4.4.2 so do not worry about the compatibility issue.

Moreover there is no method to root without tripping the Knox warranty Void on ML4 and later firmwares.
So keep in mind this will trip your Knox Flag

What you will need:

1. Odin 3.09
2. Philz recovery 6.26.6 (.tar.md5 required) from http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100//philz_touch_6.26.6-n7100.tar.md5
3. Update SuperSu v2 from here http://download.chainfire.eu/450/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip

Procedure
1.Download and open Odin v3.09
2.Load your downloaded recovery onto the PDA/AP button on Odin
3.Make sure you dont mess with anything else on Odin.
4.Now click Start and your recovery will be flashed in under 10 seconds.
Now boot into recovery and flash the update superSu v1.94 zip.
5. Now you can reboot your phone.

Done.Your device is rooted now.

Important : If you aren't able to flash custom recovery correctly, then untick Auto Reboot on Odin.
Now flash recovery. And now boot the phone into recovery mode directly.
This should work 99.99 percent.

This generally happens on NA1 and later firmwares because the custom recovery gets overwritten by stock recovery at every boot.

DO NOT RESTART YOUR PHONE AFTER FLASHING THE RECOVERY. BOOT TO RECOVERY FROM DOWNLOAD MODE ITSELF.

Here is a small picture guide which will make the instructions more clear. Thanks to @singhpratik87 for the picture.

Problems & Fixes:

Fix No.1
If you keep getting SuperSu has stopped notifications constantly then follow these steps to fix
Uninstall SuperSu from inside the SuperSU app where it says Reinstall from playstore. (Dont worry you wont lose root access)
Now download SuperSu again from playstore
Doing this installs SuperSu on /data/app partition where it wont get stopped by knox.

Fix No.2

If Fix no.1 doesnt work for you then try this out.
Download Terminal Emulator from the playstore.
Open it and type this code:

Code:

su pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid

This will disable the Knox apps which prevent SuperSu from running.

Fix No. 3

If none of the above things work to disable Knox. Then try this.
Through any Root Explorer go to
/system / app &
/ system / priv-app and delete all the apks having the word Knox in it. Also delete their corresponding odex files.
This should work 100%. But doing this modifies your system partition and you may lose OTA functionality temporarily.

Hi Mr. Somaiya,

I loved the way you explained in your thread about rooting. I have few queries regarding Rom's and Xposed Framework Modules !!!

I Use Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 4.4.2 ( Rooted and Also Installed Xposed Framework 2.6 Version )

Q. What are the best Rom's available and from where to get them easily ? Also any Rom which help to get the Note 3 and Galaxy 5 all features including the UI ?

Q. From where to get these Modules and what are the best in your opinion for Note 2

Hope to hear again from you and have a nice a weekend....Cheers !!!!

If you untick auto reboot are you able to boot into PhilZ recovery? Even once?

Using any root xplorer search for the file recoveryfromboot.p in /system directory
Delete that file and then flash philz again and then check if it gets overwritten by stock recovery or philz sticks for always.

Hey man, I'm on the latest for Indian phones 4.4 and want to root my phone again. So I had a question:
If I root using your method, how easy is it to unroot? Can I unroot and make the system show 'Normal'? Will the Knox flag being 1 prevent it showing normal?
I ask this because if I root will flash Philz and trip Knox and flash a custom rom. Then If I sell it in a few months I don't want my potential buyer to see in settings that it's modified.

Knox will be tripped even with other root methods i.e cf autoroot.
Your system status will be official if your recovery is stock. So you can flash back full stock rom whenever u want to sell it and system status will become official. But knox once tripped will remain 1 even after flashing stock rom back

kkapoorr · Aug 13, 2014

Thanks man.
Any buyer these days is not smart enough to check the download mode of the phone they want to buy, but the system status saying Modified would've raised a few eyebrows.
I'll root using your method now.
