Just wondering if the one click root method has been updated to work with the new software 4.1.2. I just got my note 2 about a week ago and I updated it with out know of this one click root method :mad::banghead:

I'm with mach1man.......
I mistakenly did the OTA. AND I am not techy enough to do the entire XDA jailbreak proceedure. I do not want to brick this badboy. The one touch is something I will pay for.
I need it rooted for the ARLiberater app and others. Any news???????

Hi Mike....did that "one click root" root the Note and keep the stock ROM?

I'm just looking to unlock my SGNote to use ARLiberator....I want to keep it stock...for now.

Yes it did, but soon after rooting it, I flashed a rom to it....fun:)
But yes, it kept the stock rom...all data intact. Just to be safe tho, backup your internal sd card contents and contacts. I did, just to be on the safe side.

When you say unlocked, do you mean, bootloader unlocked?
I am not familiar with ARLiberator, but I did see it on the PlayStore...is this it?

Yep...that is it. It mirrors your phone and all the apps onto your Pioneer AppRadio 7" screen.
Also....I watched the "one touch video" on XDA and it says it reboots into "Team Win Recovery Project". What is that? Will I have to redownload all my downloaded apps too? I am assuming so.
And I guess I meant just rooted.....not unlocked ....I'm a noob...sorry.:rolleyes:

TeamWin Recovery Project is the custom recovery that will be installed:)
The Note 2 comes with a stock recovery which is quite limited as to what the user can do with it.
The TWRP recovery is what I use on my S3:)
Lots can be done in there, including but not limited to nandroid backups, cache and dalvik wipes, flashing rom .zips, mod .zips etc.
Anyways, it's fine when it says that it will install that;)
You will NOT lose your apps or have to reinstall them. :)

No worries about the questions...we've all been there :)

I just did the one click using Causal R515 on my Verizon note 2 system 4.1.2 and got the following message

Checking if protocol is initialised...
Protocol is not initialised.

Initialising protocol...
ERROR: Unexpected handshake response!ERROR: Unexpected handshake response!ERROR: Protocol initialisation failed!

Releasing device interface...

not its in loop trying to
Initialising protocol...

What should I Do!!!!

Thanks
 
So, we've got a few people saying it worked and some saying it doesn't. Anyone tried the one click method recently? I'm really interested in doing this as my last phone was the Nexus and was rooted just after purchasing. I've had the Note 2 since January and have the itch to unlock and root, but don't want to mess this great phone up. Thanks!

Well, I'll let you know as I had to unroot my wife's phone to send back to Verizon. Turns out she is going to keep it and wants me to re-root it.
She is up to date on the most current updates. I'll post back later when I do it. :)
I foresee no issues. I know others have. But take it with a grain of salt. As with anything, ymmv:)

Edit: yup...it works...no issues.
On to flashing a rom or 2 or 3. :p
 
I finally did it. It took a couple of try's and THIS IS KEY I needed to turn off my malware and anti virus software before I ran it.

Once I figured that out it went very smoothly.

FWIW
