Rooting?

[PiskopatYazar]

Hello guys

Im new to Samsung, bought my phone a month ago and love it to be honest. The problem is dont know most of things on android and samsung. been looking at the forum hours and hours and learnt most of it from you.

I want to know if rooting is any good? why would you root your device or why wouldnt you? advantages and disadvantages?

Is it easy to do it? (as Im new dont wanna brick my phone) I have seen that if you root your phone your warranty will be avoid. If you unroot will it be still avoided?

Hope my questions are clear.

Hi and welxome to xda. Rooting basically gives you full rights over your phone and breaks most barriers put in place. Hands down the best thing about rooting your phone is that it gives you the ability to install a custom rom which improves on the current rom (the systen you are interacting with)

It is really easy to root a note2, i suggest you read the stickys-they have a guide for it.

Lastly the only downside is that you can brick ur phone if anything is DONE without reading the instructions. Or flashing something that is not in a N7100 forum.

And it voids warantee, but there is a workaround (traingleaway, search it )

Hope i answered your question

Thanks for you response mate. Whats the quickest and easiest and safest root ? Like iphone jailbreaks are so easy all you need to do is plug your phone in and press the jailbreak button and after 2 3 minutes all done. Is there any program or software like that?

I suggest you before rooting do a bit of research on why you need to root rather than root it "because you can" as you read rooting has it drawbacks specially for noobs.

If you can live without some specific feature only available through rooting, don't root avoid a headache.

Where can you find instructions to unroot a note 2 which has been rooted using CF-auto-root.

why do you want to unroot?

why do you want to unroot?

Haven't rooted yet. Found many instructions for the easy cf-auto-root but not much on unrooting, which may be needed for OTA updates or warranty checks.

Anyways you may wanna look into rooting after finding some uses for it. Otherwise it may be an unnecessary risk. There is a lot of customisation and functionality available using the stock rom and market apps alone.

you can unroot (rooted with cf autoroot) by supeSU (you will get it by rooting)setting menu
OR
by simply flashing stock ROM with odin will unroot device
(In both case you should have to reset counter while you are having root, to claim warranty)

Does unrooting using superSU require restoring factory settings or anything? Or does it do it cleanly?

I want to be able to update through OTA.

factory reset won't need, cosmetically you won't see any rooting sign.
But regarding OTA, really its weired
you never can say surely, i have seen who have unrooted + factory reset, even they fails to install update (though even getting update)
so be prepare to flash using odin, if you don't get OTA.

 

[hamzahqaisar1995]

You need to factory flash via Odin and then use triangle away to reset the flash counter that should allow you to update OTA.
