Don't be afraid to root. On these phones it is extremely easy and there is always Odin which can rescue you from almost anything.

I thought root void warranty. Also I am new to the whole root things. Don't know what kind of benefit I will get from root. Don't know why I should consider to do so.

Cool. I will look into more before I do it. I worry my phone will turn into brick. I saw a few thread floating around.
Just read and read and read some more. As long as you follow all the guides step by step and are making sure everything you do is meant for YOUR device, you won't end up bricking your phone. In fact, you'll be pleased with the results. Guaranteed. But remember, every instructional thread you read has a warning. Read them carefully and if you're still uncomfortable, don't be afraid to ask more questions. Anyone willing to respond to a question typically knows what they're talking about.

According to samsung if u flash a custom binary u have voided ur warranty. New devices like in our case the S3, Even S2 has a binary counter which keeps counts how many times have u flash ur device with a custom Rom,but even with this counter installed there's always a work around to reset this counter and "cash in" in our warranties. So feel confident that u can root and always bring back ur device to stock and have full warranty coverage.!!! SO HACK ON AND FLASH AWAY!!! U' WILL LOVE IT! :good:

There are ways to reverse back to stock and reset your count to Zero so that T-mo cannot tell you rooted and you can return your phone if you need to. You need to search Unroot Galaxy SIII for instructions or look here in the forums.

Read some more than this guy even said. If you don't know even what root is then make sure you have read enough to know what you are doing first. We were all noobs once so we all know what your thinking. But you will not regret taking the leap on root. You just get so much more out of your phone than you can imagine.

I'd say go for it, if you're at least moderately technically inclined.
At the very least unlock the bootloader (this will wipe your phone so backup any photos etc!). Rooting can be done later if you do that first.
If you have to ask, no you probably shouldn't.
No question, definitely root without a doubt.

If you don't root your phone, it's not yours. You're not responsible for it if it gets messed up, but you are limited in what you can do with it. You're a licensee, not the owner.
I am of the opinion that I should own what's mine.

Interested to know whether this simple process is sufficient. I imagine you also need to completely shut down GFE if re-rooting at any time - what's the easiest way to do that? Ideally someone can develop a GFEOff+Root toggle!

Hi I am new here and I would like to root my device to make it my own and get rid of all the apps that came with it, but I have a few questions.
1, Once I am rooted which rom is the best for my AT&T GN2?
2, Will I still be able to update my GN2?
3, What happens if I messed up during the rooting process?
4, And how often do I need to change roms?
5, Is rooting the way to go?
I am going to be dead honest here, I am a girl and some of the steps of rooting I dont quite understand, if someone can help me explain things I will be so happy.

1. Try each rom out and find out what YOU like. I personally use CleanRom 4.0.5 with no problems.
2. Why update when custom roms are better than stock roms?
3. If you mess up thats on you. But its not to hard root. I rooted and installed a custom rom before leaving the att store.
4. If you find a rom that you like you will most likely flash a new rim once its updated.
5. Yes rooting has many advantages. Ex. Wifi tethering, removing bloatware, custom roms, etc.....

No. You can be rooted using the "stock" rom you are using now out of the box. You will have the ability to delete apps using the app mentioned before.
If and when you do decide to install new roms. You will have to install a recovery. Which that exynos abuse apk does not include.
A recovery is a whole other thing.
For recovery I use twrp.

I'll be honest, this smells of a "phone won't turn on" thread in the near future. You're not ready to root your phone and go playing around in recovery. You might be ready to root once you'd studied up on exanose abuse and the rooting concept in general. But right now I would hold off if I were you. TBO the Gn2 runs so well out of the box that you're almost there anyway. Make sure you are confident that you will know how to do each step BEFORE you attempt to root, and are sure you have another web-enabled device so that you can come here for questions while your Gn2 is down.
Let's us know what you decide...

Herr is the easiest way to root without tripping you counter. Find the latest for your provider then flash it using Odin. Then you decide from there if you wanna flash any custom rom after.

Whoah! First off dont send the guy off to root his phone first thing! He doesnt have clue!
First off you can NOT flash tmobile roms onto att phone or wind mobile on rogers etc.
Secondly root does not give you faster speeds!
Rooting is great but do your self a favor and read first or your gonna end up like this guy

I guess he finally realized he had flashed the wrong rom...amoung other things.

For now im telling ya, read up before you use odin and go flash crazy or youll be crying that kies ain't working. (When youre doing it wrong it never does)
Yes you can get your note2 to work on tmobile but dontvexpectvit to work like a note2 from tmobile.
My advice if your on tmo, sell it and by the tmo n2.
Rooting is great but trust me if it made your phone faster the phone companies would not be happy.
Now... there are tricks to TRY to get fastest speeds and you do need root for this.
But you need to apply these hacks in addition to rooting.
Check out the stickies and also click the thread I linked its got a link to a gn2
Its a great tool not just for noobs

Well, just for clarification, rooting can make your phone faster. It can make your phone faster by removing unnecessary apps that could be running in the background. It also allows you to tweak settings and config files, though not recommended for a newbie. You may also use custom roms that could provide serious performance improvements.
So it is inaccurate to say rooting cannot increase the speed of your device. There have even been some cases of gaining networking speed improvements by changing settings in the build.prop file on some AT&T devices.
Rooting is the typical gateway to these other options.

Did you read mine? You cant do any of the things to increase your devices performance without root. So, this means rooting is part of the process. This also means rooting is part of speeding up your device. We can play tit for tat and mince words all day. The point is the original post wanting root for the purpose od speeding up a device is valid.

Thanx , what will this take away besides warrenty? Anything of use? Is there a chance chain fire could fix it in the long run? Sorry just so used to my s4, main question is should I root or hold out??

So I flash root, then install a cutom kernel then make a back uP?

Just root it using Odin and Chainfires auto-root method, I'm not familiar with the custom kernel as yet, so I won't comment on that. Once you root, you still keep all stock functionality, just have administrative rights, so to speak. If you're not too familiar with rooting, flashing, etc.. I wouldn't recommend starting right now with the Note 3, still early in the aftermarket development stage..

i believe it gives you root access only. As soon as you flash a custom recovery it trips it

I believe your referring to the note 3 on AT&T. If this is available for the T-Mobile model,please provide a link.

Considering all of the challenges that people have faced with Fierce bootloops - and for a while no way way to fix them, this is a situation where you would do very well to do some reading before you do anything. There are two root methods currently both are outlined in the Original Android Development Section for the TMOBILE NOte 3 - you can download everything you need from there - and I think it would be very helpful for you to read thru what others have done and experienced before you do anything - then you can make your own decision about which root method is best for your needs.
I don't mean to sound sanctimonious or anything but if there ever was a time that reading thoroughly first was a good thing to do - this is one of those times..good luck

What did my post have to do with your asking for a link? Well, I didn't want to be this direct but If you simply opened the Original Android Development thread and took less than a minute to read, you wouldn't need to ask for a link. You would see that there were two threads available that offered details that would give you exactly what you wanted. Two different ways to root.
In fact, in less time than it took you to write your post and wait for an answer, you would have had exactly what you were looking for.
My response to you was a gentle reminder that reading is a good thing.

The fact that you took all this time to write all that and ridicule me is ridiculous when it would have been easier for you to have just been nice and post the link like the last guy did. .. Sorry I didn't see it however easy it was, but that's why we are here to help one another. ..so please next time either don't comment at all and let someone else who wants to help, help, or just help someone out. ..It goes a long way and makes this place more civil. ..

I am sorry you felt I was ridiculing you. That was not my intent at all. THis forum is loaded with people who have have had major issues when flashing a recovery which is often the next step after rooting - there are more reports of people who have had to return their note 3 to TMOBILE than I can remember seeing on a single phone in a very long time. My Suggestion for you to read was purely intended to help you - it is easy to let others do the work for you - when often trouble could have been avoided by being more educated. What struck me as odd was the fact that it was so easy to find the link you were looking for - if you only opened one section of the forum in the Original Android Development you would have found it. But that is besides the point.
My comments were always supportive - and intended to help you. Period. I am sorry that you are so caught up in the " I want what I want when I want it "- that you can't see that. XDA is a forum designed for people to learn more about their phones and to ultimately try to get more out of them than you can get in a Stock phone...I have been in your shoes before and done exactly what you did when asking for a link - and have gotten a similar reply to the one I gave you. I am grateful it happened to me because it forced me to take a step back - do a little reading - learn more about the challenges others have faced and in the end, avoid those same problems myself.
Once more, I am Sorry you feel I was ridiculing you - couldn't be farther from the truth - I wish you well and hope you enjoy your NOTE3. Have a nice day my friend.

No problem. .. Just to let you know that thread doesn't show up in my app which I always use.. It only showed up on my computer. .. That's why I didn't see it. ..
After I rooted the system it said modified and ota wouldn't work. .. so I installed xposed framework and then wanam xposed module and there is a setting to set system to original and that works for ota...

I may be wrong but I thought that using that option in Wanam Exposed was cosmetic only. It changes that to Official in Settings - but doesn't really effect how your phone is recognized as being 'altered" - LIke I said, I might be wrong, but that is what I heard. You might check with someone who knows more about this than I do
Good luck

That's what I thought also but when I tried to go to the ota update setting it told me that this is a modified system and when I use that module then it told me that there was no further updates... so I guess that made it work. ..
