So what is the easiest method to root this device?
Can I install 4ext instead of cwn?
And what is this stuff about different ucl* roms I keep seeing,not sure.

I would run stock rom with a overclocked kernel get the "set cpu" app... set it to 1.84 ghz this run fine on my note seems very stable.min 384.If it seems unstable make you click set to boot "off" until everything seems stable then click set to boot enabled.

Da_G Has an odin root available in the DEV section for the stock GB. As far as I know there are only 2 types of recovery for the Note Braway's CWM and the TWRP 2.1.2 ( I use CWM.) As far as the UCL*** those are all ICS leak builds. UCLE2 being the most recent. Personally I have pretty much stuck with Team Perfections builds but depending on what you want another ROM may suite your needs. If you install one of the new roms they keep root access and install either SU or superuser and are all flashable via CWM, however I assume you need to be rooted prior to installing which is where Da_G root comes in.

So I guess 4ext doesnt work on the note? Also, its easy to brick this device?
I didn't see any flash able zips for it in the dev section so I don't think its supported. Rom manager for the most part is unsupported also except for fixing permissions after flashing new stuff. This is my first experience with android (iPhone convert haha) I haven't had any bad experiences flashing yet but general rule of thumb is read and re read instructions for specific roms and make sure its specifically for the i717 not n7000 or anything else because that will hard brick. Also use only approved ics kernel because of the super brick bug out there

Nope, you can just flash cwm with Odin and then flash a ROM without rooting first. The ROM is rooted.
The only reason to root first is if you want to run titanium backup to nip any apps you may have installed prior to deciding to ROM.
Also that "super brick bug" is only on exynos processor equipped phones, I717 has a Qualcomm. So if you stick to just kernels MADE FOR THIS DEVICE then you can't ever encounter it.
Ah was never 100% clear on that cuz I rooted prior to running saurom rom. As for the kernel thing that's what I meant about not using the n7000 stuff prolly should of been more specific didn't want ya to make a mistake on that.

Yup.
And now that you've made the glorious switch to Android, when you upgrade to the next beast that catches your eye, you can take the titanium backup folder from your note, drop it in the sdcard of your new phone, install cwm, flash a ROM, then restore your backed up apps.
Easy peasy
So I need to verify, I can completely install a rom that gets rid of touchwiz? Also would this same rom improve battery charging time?
If I could just flash cm7 on this baby I'd be fine with that.
Cm7 is not supported on this device
There are a couple aosp roms floating around, but they are still in early development, alpha stage.

+1....Common misconception is that you need to be rooted to flash a custom ROM. CWM is the first thing I would flash. Like Studacris said, everything else is easy peasy.

so let me get this straight also im new. but right now all i have done is use odin to put cwm recovery on my phone and i have not installed superuser yet. because phone would not recognize with computer. so since i only have cwm i can go to this site on my phone, download a rom from my phone, to my phone and then go into cwm and zip it from there. is this correct?

Exactly. No need to root stock ROM if your going to flash a rooted ROM anyway. Make sure you do a backup of your stocker before doing anything else. The only reason to root your stock ROM would be to backup all your apps and data. If you don't do that, you have to start from scratch. What's the issue you're having with the superuser zip?

I'm dev-unlocked and have TWRP installed, no root yet.
what's the consensus on the better/stable/happier su package, supersu vs superuser?
ALSO and almost more importantly, where can i find a flashable zip for either. i know everyone says just flash a rooted ROM, but that's not what i want to do. just looking for a file i can flash in recovery or push via adb. been searching and can't find any options that don't redo everything at once (ie. dev unlock and install recovery)
already been through all of that, just want to add root. thoughts? links? non-sequiturs?

yeah, that's where i'm at. the tutorial/everything page has everything you could ever want if you were starting from zilch; but no "here's just the su binaries and app" zip that i can find. there's every variety of "one click" solution but it doesn't seem like anyone publicizes the step-by-step pieces.
i did dev-unlock and then flashed twrp via fastboot because i wanted a nandroid backup of my "virgin" setup. now if i could just push su to it i would have my setup/ROM with root and not have to wipe my phone and start with somebody else's. not that i'm knocking those efforts because at some point i'm going to start flashing ROMs on this thing, but i'm not ready to blow away all my data just to get root. of course there's always the remote possibility that i could flash the stock 2.13 rooted rom and restore my own data partition and it would work without being flaky, but i never had success doing that on my transform.
i guess i could always download one of the one-clicks and tear it apart and see if i can't figure something out on my own, but i have no experience doing that whatsoever

You can't flash root to a phone with a zip. You need to look up the specific instructions for your phone, and most likely will factory reset your device.

not yet. my wife was getting made at me for not being fully engaged in her prattling so i had to shut the laptop for the night.
i was looking at the update script and it does some goofy stuff with the maps.apk and youtube.apk that seems to (at least from other comments in the thread) cause some unwanted aggravation with those apps. i asked the question what/why and the answer i got was an assumption that they were being moved temporarily to make sure there was room in /system for the su binaries and then moved back.
i don't know if that's necessary or not, but i kind of doubt it. just like to know what's happening in the background and not monkey with things that don't need monkeyin'.
i've got a working zip for SuperSU v0.96 that i've stripped the stuff out of it that moves around the maps and youtube apks, doesn't seem to be necessary on our devices. sent a pm to chainfire about posting it but haven't heard back yet. or maybe i just can't send pms

Warning: Total Noob here.
Just rooted my VZW S4 following the instructions for the ME7 build on the forums here with no problems. Installed "ROM Manager" via Play store and went thru the steps of flashing CWM. The app reports, under "Recovery Setup" that my current recovery is ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2.
BUT, when I "Reboot into Recovery" ... it always go to the default "Android System Recovery <3e>"
How can I get CWM running instead?
Thanks
You can't install a custom recovery on ME7 yet. It's been well covered here on XDA.

The bootloader on this phone is locked, meaning you will need an exploit to bypass it in order to install a custom recovery. The loki method that was previously working has been patched by the most recent update, eliminating the only publicly known hole to install custom recovery. Without an exploit to bypass or an unlocking method we have no way to install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, without these it makes it nigh on impossible to install a custom ROM.
Anyone else please correct me if I am wrong but this was my understanding of the current state of things.
Your 100% correct sir...

Make sure you are very specific on letters that need to be caps.
For example; when you type cd /mnt/extSdCard......make sure the S and C are caps or it will not work.
First time I did it I put in extSdcard and not extSdCard and I got the file not found error.
That should do the trick.

Um, Linux command line is often case sensitive. The question above wasn't about custom recoveries, it was simply referring to rooting ME7 which has long been possible.

That command line is in fact case sensitive. So you're wrong. The previous post was about using the root exploit method which has been done already, not unlocking the bootloader.
Just tell me, is this even possible? The only way I know to do it is to use saferoot, but apparently you can't flash roms with it.
I also tried to use the prereleased kernel but when I tried to flash it said FAIL.
Is there any way to root and flash from the mk2 kernel (sch-9545)?

Yes, of course - as long as you understand what's compatible with Safestrap. Please spend the time to understand the limitations before you start trying to flash CM or something else that'll permanently void your warranty.

Yes, if you install the two roms into different slots. But that's obvious if you read the safestrap thread,
You can't run them "at the same time" since you boot stock, or one of the non-stock slots. i.e. multiple installed at once with the ability to choose what's booted.

Are you using Safestrap 3.71? What do you get when you click "Install Recovery"?
I get a "Preparing Installation" window that says "Checking busybox", "Running installation script", "Cleaning up" then the "Reboot to recovery" option is enabled. Apparently something isn't going right on the install.
You ARE using a Verizon SCH-i545, correct?
Yes I'm using the i545/mk2 version. I used 3.71 and a few older ones and it didn't work on any of them.
It goes through the same process as it should, but when it's done, it still says "state: not installed". Before I even do it I have the option between install or uninstall, which is weird. Should I record a video?

Check the SuperSU app on your phone. It should be installed already after rooting, but if not, grab it from the Play Store. The root binary may need to be updated.
So with GooManager gone, what are people using to flash TWRP? -I just wish I could use an app that would work very similarly...select TWRP/select device/reboot (flash) Any input?

I guess whatever I saw was just someone recommending to use TWRP manager then. According to goo.im's twitter, they stopped the app support with their new server migration and are just focusing on the site now. I could see them going down The Verge route and sticking to recoding their website to make it fully responsive, aka properly adaptive to basically any resolution.
Of course this fully responsive web app thing that started with HTML5 hasn't lived up to the initial expectations. Also I think it's pointless for something like goo manager, which is only useful to Android users. Why not just sick to a tired and true native app? Not sure, but web apps are the trend lately.
Hi
Im looking for some general info regarding Goomanager/ Rom managers, I am somewhat new to this and I am trying to understand their function.
Do you need to have a ROM manager installed to get TWRP to work? Im rooted and running custom ROM, I orginally used CWM, however I ran into an issue and was advised to use TWRP, which works great. But now since Goomanager is no longer supported, Im wondering if I can just delete this app completely.
Would Flashify be able to read previous recovery files from Goomanager or CWM? Or is it a better practice to remove old recoveries and create new one?
Again I am a bit of newbie at this stuff, just trying to understand and free up some space on my device.
Thanks in advance

I removed GooManager and installed Flashify. You can download Flashify from the Google Play and install it, then select the recovery that you wish to use TWRP, CWM, Philz or flash an IMG file.
I believe in terms of recovery Philz can restore both TWRP or CWM backups but I would recommend only trying to restore from the same recovery you made it with.
I personally use TWRP.
