on October 5, 2012

Tutorial to Safely Root the Galaxy Note:

This is my preferred method to root the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 and here are the reasons why,

Advantages:

1. SAFE
2. Works with the 4.0.4 update
3. Minimal Downloads – 3-10mb max
4. Quick – 2-5 Mins Approx
5. No loss of Apps or Data
6. Counter does not increase (can unroot and avail warranty if needed)
7. Can be done without a PC

Disadvantages:

1. MicroSD Card Required
2. Works only with ICS (Android 4.0)

Procedure:

Step 1: Download SuperSU.zip and transfer it to the root of your Micro SD Card.

Step 2: Press Up Volume + Power + Home and hold till the phone reboots and you see Samsung Galaxy Note displayed on screen, at which point you can let the keys go.

Step 3: Now you should be in Android system recovery, select “apply update from external storage” (as shown in the image to the right) and select SuperSU.zip that we transferred earlier.

Step 4: Once Complete hit “reboot system now”

We have ROOT now, we set out the root the Galaxy Note and have done it

If you just want to run Root apps like Titanium Backup you are done here but if you want to flash custom ROMs, Kernels, Mods, Themes and so on continue…

Step 5:. Get Mobile ODIN Pro from the PlayStore or alternatively Mobile ODIN Lite from XDA.

(Id highly recommend the PRO version if you plan on flashing a lot of custom Roms, Kernels and so on)

Step 6: Download the SpeedMod Kernel and transfer it to the Internal/External Sd.

Step 7: Open Mobile ODIN and get through the initial screens (Grant Access, Let it Download any files if needed) and then click Kernel and navigate to wherever you have saved SpeedMod Kernel and select it and hit Flash Firmware.
