Root A Galaxy Note 2

If you have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and you have installed the update to Android 4.3, you may have noticed that – if you had root access, you’ve now lost it.

If you’ve never rooted your device, you should consider it.  Rooting gives you full control over your device and lets you install custom ROMs, custom recoveries, tweaks, mods and kernals.

Follow along with our guide below to gain root access on a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that has been updated to Android 4.3 XXUEMK4 Jelly Bean.

Prepare your device

1. You should only use this guide with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
2. Your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 must already be running Android 4.3 XXUEMK4 Jelly Bean.
3. Charge the battery to around 60-80 percent.
4. Enable the USB debugging mode of your device.
5. Back up important contacts, SMS messages and call logs.

Note: The methods needed to flash custom recoveries, roms and to root your phone can result in bricking your device.  Rooting your device will also void the warranty and it will no longer be eligible for free device services from manufacturers or warranty providers.  Be responsible and keep these in mind before you decide to proceed on your own responsibility.  In case a mishap occurs, we or the device manufacturers should never be held responsible.
