Samsung Galaxy Note 2

The most usable benefit of rooting note 2, is using multiview with any/all apps.

LTE engineering split screened with Sensorly or Google map of all area sites is an awesome thing.

Rooted mine today using qbking77 video. I think with his video a 5 year old could do it was that easy and used his video on free WiFi tether by trev e (I believe) . Thinking about using digi ROM now haven't decided yet. I'm happy with performance as is now so no rush.

The biggest benefit of rooting your Note 2 is to be able to use the DigiblurROM. You can install PRL files on the fly.

Would a different PRL benefit me any?

Pretty easy.  Follow QBKing's excellent video:  http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969947

 

Of course the versions have changed, but grab the latest Note2 toolkit and it's so easy.  The video walks you right on through.  Pick the MA7 build in the Note2 toolkit, it works fine on MC2.  Then after that flash you a MC2 ROM with TWRP.

OK...I have a driver install failure after running Odin. Says "adbd is already running as root/error: device not found:. Plus, I have a system window that popped up saying "Device driver was not successfully installed"/"MTP USB device Xfailed".

 

Any ideas? 

[digiblur]

Reinstall the drivers with no phone hooked up then maybe plug into other usb port

Alright...got that to work, but when it started the root process, it showed 8 things that failed and continued until finished. Then it went back to the main menu with out giving the "YOU HACKED IT!" message. What the hell is going on??

 

Also, no titanium backup listed in the apps menu.

You hacked it message? Can't say that in paid attention. Did it install twrp recovery and super user?

Just super user is listed.

 

Actually if I do the vol./power/home button fuction it boots to twrp.

So no recovery? Hmm... I had that issue before I can't remember what fixed it.  I bet the recovery is writing but then the stock ROM overwrites the recovery again.  

 

Let's just jump to the chase:

extract the self extract...  

 

1. Turn off Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
2. Press and hold down Volume Down + Home + Power buttons at the same time.
3. Press Volume Up button when warning prompt.
4. SGN2 Odin download mode will be loaded then.

 

Run the extracted file and there ya go. 

[d_rail34]

Ok...here goes...

[digiblur]

oh!! well then you are good to go if TWRP is installed...  Super user is root so that's it.  You did it.

 

Flash my ROM if you want to after that.

No need you already have TWRP recovery and Super User.  You are rooted and ready to flash or do whatever you want.

Just place the zip file on the root of your sd card ,(don't unzip the file) and boot into TWRP and flash the zip..

Do a factory reset wipe in twrp then flash the zip.

 

Always test the zip integrity or match up the md5 using winmd5 before flashing to make sure the whole zip was downloaded right.
