Yes if the above said options are not there then you need to reinstall CWM as something is wrong also before doing that check you memory card is functional

By default CWM will store on internal memory unless you select external memory card

rooting 8013 on stock US JB 4.1.2

I would like to root my 8013 model running the OTA update of JB4.1,2. How do I do this? I tried the easy one you listed, but it failed. So I was going to try the cwm version via rom manager, but there isn't a CWM version for the 8013. Will the one for the 8010 or the 8000 work?
At this point I'm not certain I want to load a custom rom, I just want root! Help.

I'm hung up at this coming from a rooted stock 4.0.4 trying to update to 4.1.2 using the US n8013 firmware from your post here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2016792

edit: it just failed. what do I do now?

Usually if it fails it means the file was corrupted.. try redownloading the file..

The option is there just won't work. I will try flashing CWM again in Odin and see if it works after that.

Well. I've just decided to make the leap to CM10.1. (I really REALLY need multiuser) I've flashed Chainfire's auto root, installed Mobile ODIN pro, and SuperSU pro, Triangle Away, I'm in the process of downloading the stock 4.1.2 just in case. I have Titanium Backup Pro so I'm going to do a BU with that. Will the CM10.1 install using Mobile ODIN? I think I'm on the right track (I hope, I hope) Please tell me if I'm missing anything. Thanks for all your great work!

I am not familiar with mobile Odin is never used it but if it supports installation from a zip file then it should BTW Odin will not install CM and hence I do not think it will install using mobile Odin.

Also for CM rom you need to do a wipe before you can upgrade from your existing stock rom so all you apps will go.

I had installed it using cwm installed like a charm the multiuser feature is cool

Why dont you install CWM do a Nandroid back up clean wipe and then install CM

Also do not know what triangleaway will do it will not reset the count until you have the stock recovery and once you install CM the count will increase so you can either install it after you install CM or before you install the stock rom

You ARE quick!!! Guess I'll get with Chainfire to ask some of those questions. Thanks again for your help!

I seem to be having some difficulties flashing any FW to my N8000, running ZCBLL5. I have tried 3 different FW and they all fail, seemingly right at the last step(Radio). I have tried XXCMA1, XXCLL3, and XXBLK2. My main goal is to enable Google apps on the device, as the chinese FW doesn't seem to come with it. Anybody have any idea why this keeps happening? Does odin output any error log? Would i be better off to try heimdall in linux, or does the chinese FW block the install of other? Any help is appreciated

that's why i told you not to think about the updates so you can avoid more confusion..

Haha ye probably my first time will be as well! Just wondering one final thing; is it possible to receive OTA's once you've flashed the German ROM with Odin? Currently have the Stock ROM running, bought in The Netherlands (Vodafone),

    Rooting & Installing CWM Recovery

    Rooting

    Method 1

    The easiest way of rooting is by downloading and installing the exynos from here

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050297

    Install the APK on your device

    Run the APK

    2013_01_04_00_37_03.jpg


    Click on Root Device

    Your device is Rooted

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Method Two

    You will need the following things before you install the firmware

    CWM for Note - Attached DO NOT EXTRACT(Have not tried this particular one on any other version except N8000)

    Odin - Download for here http://androidfirms.in/tools.html

    SuperSU - Attached
    Copy SuperSU to SD Card (Internal or External)

    Note drivers - Should be installed with Kies (Make sure you exit kies before proceeding further)


    notevolpow.jpg


    Please enter Download mode on your tablet by pressing Power+Volume down button until you get the download mode screen as show below

    howto_root_galaxynote101_3_690x361.jpg


    Once you enter download mode this what you should see on the tablet please press volume up and ignore the warning

    Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable
    Make Sure your device is sufficiently charged
    Make sure all drivers are install correctly
    Exit Kies

    Extract all the file in the Odin archive if they are zipped

    Run_Odin.jpg


    Run Odin by clicking on the exe file as show above


    odin.jpg


    If all drivers are correctly install it should be detected by Odin in ID Com

    Click on PDA it will open file select menu and select the .tar file (CWM file attached should have extention .tar) by going to the location from where you saved it.

    cwm.jpg


    Make Sure you un-check Auto Reboot button in Odin


    Once the file is loaded, press the start button.

    Once the process in completed it show PASS but device will not restart.

    Do not restart the device in normal mode but in recovery Mode

    Press Power+Volume UP button till you see the GT-N8000 logo then leave power button but do not release the volume up button until it boots into recovery mode thats CWM

    Scroll down to Install zip from SDcard

    Select SD card if supersu is stored on the internal SD card or external SD if supersu is stored on external card

    Once you select it will give a warning message, select yes to proceed installing super su

    Once you are done you can go back to main menu and reboot (It may give you message which will disable device from installing stock recovery after you reboot select yes)

    Reboot device.

    Run SuperSu from applications

    Congratulations you have done installing CWM recovery and rooting your device!!!!!!

    Warning - Installing CWM will increase your binary count (Next tutorial will teach you how to reset it)

    Method 3

    Download CF Autroot from the following links

    N8000 - http://download.chainfire.eu/236/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-p4noterf-p4noterfxx-gtn8000.zip
    N8010 - http://download.chainfire.eu/247/CF...to-Root-p4notewifiww-p4notewifixx-gtn8010.zip

    Extract the files
    Run ODIN
    Put your device in download mode
    Load the .tar.md5 in PDF
    and follow the rest of the process you would follow for installing a rom
    26
    Odin

    WARNING - When you downgrade from JB to ICS most probably you will get stuck at the Samsung Logo and your device will not boot, You will need to go into recovery and do a complete wipe & reset to boot
    So always backup your data before flashing a Rom



    You will need the following things before you install the firmware

    Firmware - you can download either from Samfirmware or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2016792

    Once you download the files you will need to extract, the extracted file should have the following extention .tar.md5 remember the path where you extract the file

    Odin - you can download again from the above link

    Note drivers - Should be installed with Kies (Make sure you exit kies before proceeding further)


    notevolpow.jpg


    Please enter Download mode on your tablet by pressing Power+Volume down button until you get the download mode screen as show below

    howto_root_galaxynote101_3_690x361.jpg


    Once you enter download mode this what you should see on the tablet please press volume up and ignore the warning

    Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable
    Make Sure your device is sufficiently charged
    Make sure all drivers are install correctly
    Exit Kies

    Extract all the file in the Odin archive if they are zipped

    Run_Odin.jpg


    Run Odin by clicking on the exe file as show above


    odin.jpg


    If all drivers are correctly install it should be detected by Odin in ID Com

    Click on PDA it will open file select menu and select the .tar.md5 file by going to the location from where you extracted it.

    Once the file is loaded, press the start button.

    Odin will start the process of flashing the firmware and will take around ten minutes to complete it once it is successful it will show a pass message and reboot the device.

    You are done installing the new rom Congratulations !!!!!!!!

    This is the most common question asked on this forum how to install firmware using ODIN, I know there are many post in which this has been shown but I have decided to include this as a sticky thread so its up there for everyone to make use of.

    Initially this will only show installing firmware using Odin, other things will be added

    Post 1 - Introduction
    Post 2 - Installing Firmware using ODIN
    Post 4 - Rooting & Installing CWM

    The process of Installing the Firmware is the same for all variants of Note i.e 8000, 8005, 8010, 8013, 8020 BUT MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT ROM FOR THE VERSION OF NOTE YOU HAVE

    You can also flash Rom by copying the Rom on your device and using Mobile Odin Pro App
    The same is a paid app and is available of play store
    You need to be Rooted to use this app

    Please do not missguide them please tell me how can you flash a stock firmware using CWM recovery.

    IF YOU ARE FLASH STOCK FIRMWARE WHICH IS UNTOUCHED IT CAN ONLY BE FLASHED USING ODIN OR MOBILE ODIN CANNOT AND I REPEAT CANNOT BE FLASHED USING CWM
