Just got this note 2 and first thing it did is install the update. Now I'm on 4.3 and from all the reading and soft bricking I finally had to Odin back to stock to get this thing to boot. Now searching for root I ran across kingo for android and boom gained root access with ease. just thought I'd share.

Just looked up kingo on xda the last post in the xda kingo forum said it was pulled from xda due to malicious software being downloaded

Well. As you can see see this type thread does nothing but lure troll like behavior. Is redundant in nature. But thanks for the effort.
Also, this is moved as it was not development.
Closed too.

So, I've rooted my SGS3 using the excellent toolkit, and installed CWM Touch recovery. However, when the newest OTA update appeared, I decided in my wisdom to install it, and reflashed the Stock recovery and then the update. All seemed fine, until I realised that my root was gone. In hindsight, I kind of knew this would happen, but a sleepless night must have clouded my judgement.
My question: is it possible to re-root the phone with the toolkit, or any other method? I think I remember seeing somewhere that this is not recommended, but wanted to see if anyone has any tips.
Thanks,
Erik N

Where you get the info that is not recommended to reroot after OTA updates?
Just root it again using cf-root.

Normal for users to root again.

Thank you both, I'll try re-rooting. I'm not sure where I saw that advice, pretty sure it wasn't in this forum, though. XDA trumps rumours any day!

Is it really that much to ask to get an auto root? Seems that only this gnote2 on verizon we cant get an auto root/unlock. Whats the big deal??? Manual or auto??

If you didn't take the other yet there is an app that roots your phone. Can't get more auto then that.

This. I found the thread here and was rooted in five minutes. Not sure how much easier they could make it than that.

Ive tried adams unlock and root but it doesnt take.. dont know why but followed his instructions to the letter and casual doesnt root or unlock my device. I tried it with a friends note 2 on my own pc and worked but on my note nothing. What thread are you guys talking about?

there was an OTA a couple of days ago that changed the bootloader. Old method won't work on it.

Look for the exynosabuse apk (or exyno abuse). The first thread in the development section of the verizon note ii forum. It's just root though. You won't be unlocked. Also, if you got the update verizon pushed in the last few days then forget about this all together for now.

Can someone kindly tell me how I can block future Verizon OTA's?
I'm on ME7 rooted and running Hyperdrive 10 and I really love it, awesome Rom.
However I've read in other posts of freezing something using Titanium backup, and that would do the trick. I just can't find that post anywhere now.

People taking the 4.3 update and then complaining about not being able to flash ROMs or having SS working.

Sort of agree, yet the title of this OP could have been a bit more informative to the point of something like:
Take 4.3, lose rooting and safestrap capabilities at this time.
