[Beginners Guide]How to root Samsung Galaxy Note [ICS][JB]

[whiteturbo]

You will need to install a custom kernel first like philz to get a permanent Cwm based recovery. Then boot into recovery and flash the new room after wipes.

Thanks!!

figured it was something like that, so i unrooted and started again with philz ,wow the purple/mauve really works, anyway i then tried the paranoid android rom and downloaded gapps as well and my sd card went down during the install and i couldnt get past the opening screen(nightmare) so didnt panic and prepared another micro sd card and put the zip back on it.And success. Now going to find more roms to play with

Yep, me too, once i had figured what to download. Its not very clear what to do, and right up till i got root i wasnt sure if i was doing it right.

what if i forgot my lockscreen password that i cannot verify the kernel version through my phone? is there another way to check my kernel and firmware version?

Which zip file to download

Hi

I am trying to root my note but I cannot find which zip file to download and install. My kernel version number is written in a different way to those shown here. Can you please tell me which one I need. Thanks

Biuld number
JZO%$K.N7000XXXLT4

If you are planning to go for Method 2, then you will need to match the build number not the kernel version.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I am planning to use method 2.

I made a mistake with the build number which should have read JZO54K.N7000XXLT4

Unfortunately I cannot find either JZO54K or XXLT4 in the lists. Does this mean I cannot use method 2?

Thanks

 

[nokiamodeln91]

go to the first post on philz thread kernel for N7000 and do a Ctrl+F and search for XXLT4

Look in the note 2 section.

 

[murtho]

So which Kernel do I download before rooting?

 

[nokiamodeln91]

Pretty old rom but look in Philz thread and look for an ICS kernel.

Trying to root old Galaxy Note, Get "E: Signature Verification Failed"

Hi,

I have an old Galaxy Note that will no longer boot up in the stock ATT OS, but I can get all the recovery screens still. I am trying to install a new ROM and trying to root, but when I follow your instructions I get "E: Signature Verification Failed" in red after I try to run the zip file downloaded and copied to the storage card. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a new Note 3 but have always wanted to root and since the old Note won't work anyway I'm thinking it's a good evening project to root and learn how to work with custom ROMs.

Thanks!

Your at&t note is based on snapdragon chipset so the roms for n7000 will not work on it. You need to first install a custom kernel which has clockwork mod recovery and m then you can flash custom roms.
