Root [Verizon] un-root and one-click root added to Verizon Note 2 Root Guide

I have the same question. Just picked up a note 2 yesterday and it has the newest update with 4.1.2. Was wondering if this method will still work as well. Thanks.
 
Im wondering the same . I already downgraded, did the update, then tried to root again using casual. ..and it bricked my phone ...couldn't do anything to fix it either ...any clues to what I can do ?

When you say bricked, what exactly do you mean? Is it stuck in a bootloop, or it won't even turn on?
 
Now after getting a new phone and installing the update to 4.1.2 , my computer wont recognize my phone as a usb device :-(

Will this work with the new update we just got?

I would not attempt that one-click method following that recent update until we're certain it's ok.

As a matter of fact, I'm going to note that in the sticky as soon as I finish this post. ;)

After that, I'll look into it further and post an update on this whole thing. :)

Why wont my computer see my phone and let me access the sd card ?
 
Wrt the one-click root "casual" method being ok with the recent OTA, all we know at this time (via posts in the XDA thread where the one-click root method was the OP) is that rooting via that method will allow the OTA to download but it will not allow the OTA to install:

..literally about a thousand posts in. ;)

..still reading for references to the "other way around,": will the method work with the OTA already installed. I'm beginning to doubt it, but we know how XDA devs jump on this stuff.

I'll contact the "casual" dev via email. If anybody reading in here finds out, don't hesitate to educate us! :)

[edit] I've sent an email to the "casual" one-click root dev with our question about this.
 
I had a similar issue in Friday night. I tried the one click after the update.

I had to re update the drivers, use the usb cord that came with phone, and try about a hundred times before my pc finally recognized the phone. I actually had to point to the Samsung driver through device manager, and recategorize it from a serial gadget to a phone.

I had to then go onto odin mode and reinstall the pit file. I'm not even sure what that is, but it worked. I thought I had totally hosed my phone but it is back in action!

How exactly did you point the drivers to the "Samsung android" that shows up in my device list ? Ive tried everything. ...I even cwlled Verizon (useless) . I can't even access my phone storage or sd card :-(

When you plug your phone in, does it try to install drivers? What version of Windows do you have?

I definitely had kies installed but it was turned off.

And I reinstalled the usb drivers yesterday, even though I already had them installed from earlier in the week.
 
Same thing happened to me ...got a replacement already and updated to 4.1.2 ....now im afraid to try re rooting until its confirmed thwt its working again. What can I do to get my pc to see my phone again? Anyone? ?
 
It says something like "Samsung android" , but when I pull up the properties, It doesnt have a device name or model...it says unknown :-( ugh
