hello all,
i have just upgraded myself to a note 2, from an S2.
on my S2, i was able to root and unroot, with just 2 zip files, and i installed them from stock recovery mode. they were these:
Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip
Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip
i have researched and found many sites telling me to root my Note 2 with CF AutoRoot and a custom recovery, like CWM.
i don't want to do that, i don't want to void my warranty either. all i want to do is the exact same root and unroot process that i did with my S2, on my new Note 2 via the stock recovery > installing update from external storage > select the zip file and it installs superSU and roots the phone.
obviously as you all may have gathered by now, i tried the current file i have and it doesnt work. it comes up with 3 lines of red text displaying something like "error validating" and then it auto reboots the phone back to the home screen.
i tried version 1.25, and that also didnt work. so... is there a version of the root_superSU zip file that i can download that DOES work in the same way as i rooted with my S2?
all i want is a root, i don't want a custom recovery, i dont want a custom firmware flashed, all i want is the superSU / root.
could someone please advise me if this is possible, or... is there a better or more modern / updated way of doing this on a Note 2 STILL without putting a custom recovery on there?
