@Smeet

I have installed titanium backup pro, and I want to factory reset my stock note 2 rooted kitkat as I think battery life is not good as of now.

Kindly suggest me how to go about it and get the phone working in current state with all apps and data intact after hard reset :)

After hard reset root is gone?

How to back up apps and data so that the previous image of the system doesn't come back and so is battery drain?

I did it all with my original Galaxy S, but it was 2-3 years ago and things might have changed now :D

You are rooted so nandroid backup is the best and easiest option. Then you can restore apps and data from the backup using Nandroid manager app from playstore. This is what I do.

Don't know what happens if you reset a rooted phone. I did it on Galaxy Note and got a bootloop. Had to restore a nandroid backup then. Still I don't know if that happens everytime. Best option is to take a nandroid and try it ;)

But a nandroid backup is like a system image isn't it?

By restoration of nandroid backup I am again restoring the messed up system which is responsible for battery drain, right?

What I want to do is clean up the system and install the apps again +data of apps

From Nandroid manager you can selectively restore apps and data. Also you can select which app to restore and which not to.

Yes. It's better to do put stock 4.4.2 first and then flash DN3 or any other 4.4.2 ROMS. I would be doing the same thing in a couple of days.

So now press and hold the 3 keys until you get the galaxy note 2 boot screen. Then release the keys and it will go to philz.
If it goes to stock recovery then flash again and this time untick auto reboot on odin.

Mate I mentioned it several times :(
Do not restart your phone.
After flashing directly go to philz recovery from the download mode itself. :)

You are getting confused between odin mode and stock recovery.
When you press vol down it goes to odin mode. You have to flash recovery from there. After odin says pass. Now press vol up home power and it will go to philz recovery.
Next flash the update superSu zip given in the OP. Then reboot.

Done done done done
thank you sooo much champ

the steps again

put the phone in odin mode (download) : vol down + power + home
flash philz from recovery when it says res pass

press volume up + Power + Home : the phone will go in philz recovery
now install the super user app from sd card

Works like a charm

main reason i rooted was to apply the sd fix to write to internal memory

it was a pain
god knows why kitkat bought this thingy!


thanks anyway
you are a champ ;)

    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 :D
    See this thread here
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52547929

    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.

    CREDITS:

    @Chainfire for the SuperSU zip
    @Phil3759 for the recovery.

    I rooted 4.4.2 official via http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
    It worked fine after updating supersu from play store.
    Any benefits of using one or the other method?

    Only if you want a custom recovery plus root.
    Custom recovery allows you to flash other ROM'S as well so..

    There are chances of a soft brick due to TWRP. It happened to me on 4.3 too and overcomed the brick by flashing philz recovery.Hence I suggest Philz recovery.
