How to Root/Unroot Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 + CWM

This guide How to root galaxy note is divided in three part, according to running ROM
post #1 Root ICS/JB ROM
Post #2 Root Older GB ROM
post #3 Root access on Newer GB ROM

Rooting Note on JB/ICS ROM

Using CWM.zip (temporary/Touch recovery)method to root is said to be unsafe by entropy, and till safe release don't use it
Read This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810954

So present options for rooting are - Here below 5 option to root Note, You can select any of one.
0.Root with apk (NO MORE WORKING ON LATEST ROM)
1A.Root with stock recovery including safe kernel
1B.Root with stock recovery
2. Using Odin (will raise counter)
3.Using Mobile Odin

NEW 17 Dec2012

0.Root with apkCredit goes to Chainfire, alephzain (This method won't replace kernel, so if you root with this method,I recommend to flash safe kernel)(NO MORE WORKING ON LATEST ROM)

1.Download latest from chainfire's original thread
2.Install application as routine apk installation and open it.
3.Open Exynos Abuse application from App drawer
4.Select Root device (see image)

5.It will ask SuperSU permission, Grant it See image)

6.Now your device is rooted, for security purpose you can disable Exploit.(see image)

Note : This may break camera, but unchecking disable exploit make it working again

7.Open SuperSU from app drawer and update binary (see image)

How to Unroot and make status Normal
Open Exynos Abuse app, uncheck disable explot and select Unroot device (see image)

Restart device and wait for 10 min. and then you can check status.

1.Rooting with stock recovery - Thanx to Entropy who direct this way,as well always looking for safety measures for us, Chainfire for creating great tool SuperSu (and many more), Phil3759 as files,scripts derived from his Thread and Linus Yang for Busybox.
You can have two choice to root device from recovery
1A.Root + safe kernel + advance recovery. [Recommended method]
Here this will not just root your device but also add safe kernel (patched for mmc erase cap command) so you can safely wipe your device. as well gives you advanced recovery with it you can flash flashable zip files, nandroid backup/restore and more.
All credit goes to Phil3759 for awesome work.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
And download kernel in zip format according ROM you are having on device.
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card to root directory
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install(update) zip from ext SD card
-select '[your downloaded kerenel].zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
Now you will have Root + safe kernel

1B.If you want just Root but not kernel, follow this

- Download Root_SuperSu 0.95
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card.
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install zip from ext SD card
-select 'root_SuperSU-*.zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
-You can see superSU on appl drawer. open it and update.
-Now This will give you only SuperSU not busybox, though application which doesn't depends on system busybox will still works.e.g.Titanium Backup.
-To get full Root+busybox, Download Root_busybox *.zip
-Copy Root_busybox* only to Ext SD card
-Reboot into recovery, Select Install zip from Ext SD card. select Root_busybox* .zip and Flash.
-Done !

PS : If you can't see superSU after flashing above file(sometimes happen if there is too low space like in LQ3 ROM, then use this Root_superSU, followed by same above Root_busybox file.

Immediately after This I recommend to
1.Backup EFS
2.Flash any safe kernel with mobile Odin.

UnRoot :

Busybox uninstaller - Flash in recovery
Complete unroot (busybox+Superuser) - Flash in recovery

2. Short, easy - requires to reset counter

-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Flash it using PC odin for PDA tab.
-You will get exclamation mark and raised counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away
-First time opening triangle away application, it will ask to download file(flasher), let it complete. then choose to reset counter, it will restart in special recovery an finish job.

3. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark
-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it. OR Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin
-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery
-Install Mobile Odin Pro
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Open Mobile Odin Pro
-select open file

-Point to ROM file you have copied

(file name varies from image above, this is for demo purpose)

-All fiels will popup and feel automatically
-select kernel and point to custom kernel file you have copied

Tick 'Enable ever root' and 'Inject superuser(super SU) -(see image)

Flash.
Done!

First thing you should do after rooting is
-backup EFS folder ( you can use Ktool for that)
-to make some space (at least 15MB). You can safely remove google+, youtube and later install from market.

Now your device is full rooted, and use Titanium backup(or which you have used to backup) to restore

For Rooting on GB ROM, see post no 2 and 3.

How to Root/Unroot Older GB ROM + CWM

Rooting Older GB (Directly rootable) ROM

Now first thing someone newer like to know what is directly rootable and non rootable ROM

Directly rootable GB ROM is older release of ROM before Nov11, which can be root with zergrush exploit directly, without odin it (and so without exclamation mark and raising flash counter)

Which ROMs are directly rootable? and how do i know my ROM directly rootable or not?

Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703 Here Red is your kernel version)
If it is one of below mentioned then proceed otherwise follow post #3

These are directly rootable ROM

If ROM having one of these kernels, then it is directly Rootable.
KJ1/KJ4/KJ6/KJ7/KJ8/KJA
KK1/KK2/KK3/KK4/KK5/KK6/KK9/KKA
KL1
KL3(few of KL3 only is directly rootable e.g. Indian KL3. so in case your KL3 cudn't get root with zergrush you should consider it as non directly rootable )

Rooting Procedure

Here procedure divided in two part
Part 1. For whom who just want to root device (you will have option to move to part two anytime)
Part 2. For those who want to Root + CWM (advance clockworkmode recovery, to use upgrade ROM / Nandroid backup restore) - Recommended

Part 1 : - Credit goes to DooMLoRD for his zirgrush exploit

Get root access on Newer GB ROM (non rootable directly)

Get root access on Newer GB ROM (non rootable directly)

Here as name suggest non rootable directly ROMs. guide is not for How to root it, but better we can term it, How to get root access on such newer ROM.

As i said if you ROM not having kernel as mentioned in previous post (#2), you have to consider your ROM as non rootable.

Available option to get root access on such ROMs

1. Flash Pre rooted ROM

As name suggest flashing This ROM with PC odin, you will have ready made Root + CWM. This ROM was modified by ChainFire (All credit goes to him only). And you can flash it using PC Odin without getting exclamation mark/raise flash counter.

Download :
http://d-h.st/HJM
Mirror

Installation method is same as flashing other rootable ROM described here

After flashing you will have Root + CWM
PS: This is first ever GB ROM, and you may notice some screen issue if your Note is newer, dont worry for that once you upate to newer ROM, this issue will go. You can now update to any newer GB ROM with keeping your root intact, mentioned in option 2 below.

2. Update Newer GB ROM using Mobile Odin / CWM

If you are currently on Rooted GB ROM, you can update to any newer GB (non rootable) ROM using PC Odin OR CWM with keeping your root intact.

Here is description available How to use Mobile Odin OR CWM to update newer ROM

After updating to newer ROM, you can flash CF root kernel from here
according to newer ROM kernel. And Flash it using Mobile Odin OR CWM.

I have Kernel KL7 - Download

I have kernel KL8 - Download

Method 2: Root + CWM recovery

Souce : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
Big Thanx to ChainFire - Donate chainFire

Here simplified Rooting and CWM recovery for Galaxy Note N7000
- Download Root package, see at end of post
- There are three folder
1. Initial CFroot flasher
2. Two other folder having zImage file , you need one only

Which file do I use ?
Listen closely, for I will say zis only once!
Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there:
2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703
What matters most (KJ4) in this case, is in bold. Try to find the matching file
e.g. CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEN_KJ4-v5.0-CWM4.zip)

so choose accordingly

- Place the zImage file accordingly in folder 1.initial CFroot flasher /zImage folder

- Start "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions If you are Rooted already
OR
- Start "not-rooted-yet.bat" and follow the instructions.

Note : Just below this, where you download actual flash programme, that includes initial CF root as well i have already placed zimage accordingly.

edit 16Nov11 Simplified
-----------------------------------------Forget all Above and follow simple Step below------------------------------

Part Two : Final Procedure

1. I want just Root- Download This
Now Execute RunMe – follow screen instruction
(Note : Who are on Linux look to End of this post)

New method edit 19Feb12
If you fail to Root with aove method, You can try this
Keep you mobile debugging on, connect to PC and use tool mention above

2. I Want ROOT + CWM
I will do with PC (all credits goes to Chainfire for making Cf root kernel)

Which kernel You have?

(Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703 Here Red is kernel version)

I have Kernel KJ1 - Download This– and Extract

After root with above mention method, Go to Market download this, Again Thnx to great ChainFire
https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5tb2JpbGVvZGluLnBybyJd
Now place CF root kernel to your Int/Ext memory, N flash with Mobile Odin Pro

Tip: Just to note that, who have to use root for application purpose e.g.Root explorer, titanium backup etc, they shud select 'I want just Root' option. these all application will work, as well stock recovery also will work like reset, wipe cache partition, wipe data
You shud only apply CWM, if really you are need to backup/restore firmware, regularly updating ROM, using ChainFire application(which need CF root)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CF Root ICS ROM

N7000XXLPY - CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.3-CWM5.zip
Extract till zImage N flash Kernel using Mobile Odin Pro

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

Now How I can revert back to Stock ROM/Unroot (In case of replacemet may i need)

I you have Just rooted only but not added CWM - Just Download this Extract - Execute - Rum Me unroot.bat

If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)
Now place this file in zImage folder, n repeat procedure(Initial CFRoot Flasher), which you have done at time of pushing CWM by selecting I am rooted already
Now unroot with above said unrooting tool.

Where can I get the ADB drivers for the samsung note?
It's not in the Google USB driver package of their SDK Manager.

And do I need to load the drivers on the CDC Serial or the Samsung_Android device?

If you have the Samsung Galaxy S2, then you are in the wrong forum.
You need to be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1055

I have not updated my signature yet, yes I own a GN.

Hi there,

Me too, I can confirm that the described rooting method is working fine!

At start I did have an issue with the CDC something driver wanting to be installed, but that can be solved by installing the KIES software for the phone, that can be downloaded from the Samsung website.

Regards,

 

[Karl.morteo]

Worked like a charm.... thanks!

Thanks for the tip. The KIES software from Samsung had the ADB driver that was needed.
And it worked very well.
You can Download KIES Here

It feels like doing startcraft on my phone. Haha.
