Hi can anyone help me?
I tried doing the CF autoroot method. everything works and my note 2 boots back up but it doesn't go into recovery mode or I can't seem to access the recovery rom. I even tried using ODIN to install CW recovery and still can't. Am I doing something wrong? I just got this phone and I'm pressing both volumes +home key when powering on but it just boots up to android.

Your doing it wrong thats why :confused:

Volume up+home+power.

and im not exactly sure what u mean by recovery rom?

yeah i just figured that out. I c your also from T.O. I just bought the phone off someone today. It's locked to Bell been trying all day to unlock it but the unlock method by going through the debug mode doesn't seem to work for me. I finally got custom recovery and I did the dumbest thing by letting Kies update the firmware for me. Now I'm trying to get stock 4..1.1 rom back but really wanted to ask if you know how I would go abouts unlocking it. My sim is with Koodo/Telus

Yep. T dot here also.

You will need to get back on the orig firmware then unlock it. I unlocked my s3 and note 2 the same way, really easy but not if it updated!

What did kies update you to? 4.4? If it did as far as I know you cant go back even via odin.

My Charging port went bad, I changed it and not I can't connect to pc.

Is there any hope to root my AT&T Note 2 from SD or through Android? I know Towelroot doesn't work anymore, neither does kingroot.

is this possible also for N7100?

my n7100 is network dead after downgrading rom.

i`ve been trying different roms and 4.1 reads gen. IMEI

4.4.2 reads correct IMEI but dummy serial number and says out of service.

was wondering if your method could fix it.

I have note 2 model # sgh-i317m and build KOT49H.I317MVLUDNH3. I could not find this build number in the CF root homepage by chainfire for my specific build number. How can I root using Odin3 ? thank you
anmac1789, I am in the same boat as you. I have not tried to customize ;) my Note 2 since very early days with Bell Root66 rom. I understand that we need to upload a stock recovery.img in order for Chainfire to try and make a CF autoroot. I can not figure out how to do that?? I am on Virgin Mobile (Bell) V4.4.2 as well.

You can also root the i317m by flashing twrp and then flash supersu with twrp.
I will have to search for procedure for this, thanks.

The stock ROM is here (you can flash any Canadian stock ROM to the phone): https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I317M/

Supersu is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703

TWRP is here: https://dl.twrp.me/t0ltecan/

Odin 3.07 is here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.145063293,d.amc

To flash TWRP using Windows:

  1. open Odin and uncheck everything except f reset time;
  2. click on the PDA box and select the tar version of TWRP that you downloaded;
  3. put the phone into download mode and connect the phone to the computer;
  4. flash TWRP and, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery which should now be TWRP.

To root, copy supersu to the phone's internal memory and a micro SD card, boot into TWRP, and install zupersu.zip from TWRP, reboot, allow binaries to update it required, reboot, and you'll have root access.

To root without flashing TWRP and the phone has stock recovery, download and flash cfautoroot from here:https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

will this allow internal storage being used a USB mass storage or to appear as a drive letter in windows explorer so that we can import files such as word documents, pdf files, .m4a voice recorded files as well ? just like how we import photos and videos by right clicking on the samsung phone when it appears in windows explorer ... Thank you.....

Rooting has nothing to do with allowing mass storage. On a stock ROM, connecting the phone to a Windows machine in MTP mode will allow the phone's internal and external storage to appear as a drive letter in File Explorer.
