Hello friends!
If you have the wonderful Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000 Note, updated to ROM version N7000XXLA4 (2012-Jan-12) and you want to root it, here's the step by step to do it.
The current methods for root do not work for the lastest version, so you have to do a downgrade, ie flash a ROM version of the oldest official, apply the root method again and then flash the official ROM N7000XXLA4.
This procedure avoids the yellow triangle warning because we flash only official ROMs.
1. Download rootable by method zengrush or cf-root (eg N7000XXKJ4) official ROM
