[Guide] How to root the Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE on Android 4.1.2


Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2This guide will show you how to root your Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE (N7105) on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean using the ChainFire CF-Auto-Root tool. The Galaxy Note II has been one of Samsung’s success stories with its larger display and inbuilt stylus and was quick to get a root procedure, custom recovery and a full all-in-one toolkit.

However if the toolkit didn't work out for you for some reason, you could consider trying the following step-by-step guide.

[NOTE] This guide is specifically meant for the LTE version of the Galaxy Note II. These steps are also applicable for the International (N7100) model, but we advise using the above mentioned toolkit instead. If you are using this method, please make sure you download the correct CF-Auto-Root package.
