For those of you who want to root your Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000(3G version) or GT-N8013(Wifi version), here’s a tutorial on how to do that.
This root method will give you “root” on your Galaxy Note 10.1 and you will still be able to get OTA updates after rooting. The root method works by injecting root to an official Samsung firmware, meaning it will also not increase binary count so you will be able to fully unroot easily (actually just one click in SuperSU app) and return for warranty.
UPDATE: I don’t recommend this method anymore as you can have problems on newer firmware, there’s an better, easier new root method now using ClockworkMod Recovery!
Step 1. Go to Settings->About Device and make a note of which Build number you have.
For GT-N8000, if you have build number ending in XXALGA orXWALG7, you have a European or Saudi Arabian/United Emirates firmware. For now, I only have these firmware so if you don’t have this Build number, you can still install it (if you don’t mind having European/Saudi Arabian/United Emirates firmware) or you can wait until I post another firmware for your country/continent. (I will also post another root method using ClockworkMod Recovery image in the near future)
For GT-N8013, if you have build number UEALGB, you can flash the UEALGB with root injected.
Step 2. Reboot into ODIN download mode by holding down Power and Volume Down buttons together for about 15 seconds.
Step 3. When you see warning screen, hit Volume Up button.
Step 4. Connect a Galaxy Note USB cable to your computer.
Step 5. Download ODIN and Stock ROM with root injected for your Build number. (I only have European one right now but will post others soon, check back!) Unzip both files, you should get a folder with two files for ODIN and also another file that ends in “.tar”.
(Don’t have unzipping program? Download and install 7Zip first.)

Download ODIN
XXALGA works for all European Galaxy Note 10.1 (same firmware for all, you can also use on any GT-N8000)
XXALG7 works for Saudi Arabian/United EMirates (same firmware for all, you can also use on any GT-N8000)
Download XXLGA Stock European Firmware with Root injected (Mirror)
Download XWALG7 Stock Saudi Arabian/UnitedEmirates Firmware with Root injected
Download UEALGB GT-N8013 Firmware with Root injected (Mirror)
Download Samsung USB Drivers (for all Windows)
Sponsored Links
Step 6. Make sure you see yellow highlighted box with a random number, if you don’t, download and install Samsung USB drivers then unplug/plug your Note 10.1, you should see it now.
Step 7. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE but hit “PDA” button and choose the stock ROM file ending in “.tar” and hit the “Start” button.
Step 8. Your Galaxy Note 10.1 should be now updating with the stock firmware with root injected. If for some reason it fails during this process, do not worry. Simply reboot into the ODIN download mode and try the process again. Make sure you are directly connected to a USB port on your computer or laptop and DO NOT USE A USB HUB or USB 3.0 port!
Step 9. Once you see “PASS!” you are done and your Galaxy Note 10.1 will reboot.
Step 10. You should now find SuperSU superuser app in your app drawer. Congratulations!
Step 11. You can test you have full root access by downloading a rooted app like Titanium Backup app from Play Store and running it. You should get a nice Superuser request.
Q&A
Q: Does this root method increase binary count?
A: No it does not as it’s a root-injected official Samsung stock firmware. It only gives you root, does not give you custom recovery either.
Q: Do I lose my apps?
A: No, you won’t lose any apps, settings, or any of your photos/videos.
Q: What does rooting do?
A: Rooting gives you “full” admin control over your Galaxy Note 10.1 so you can do cool stuff like run rooted apps like Wifi Tether app (to tether your Note 10.1), backup apps using Titanium Backup app, install custom ROMs (so you can overclock and also get better performance/battery life), and a whole lot more.
Q: How did you inject root in the official Samsung firmware?
A: It’s pretty easy to do if you have some Linux/Android knowledge, I will actually have a tutorial guide over at AndroidRootSchool.com soon. (The site isn’t up yet, I just bought the domain name.)

Thanks again for all the cool videos teaching people how to do cool things like rooting and installing new cool ROMS. BTW sorry to hear about your mom hope she doing well. Thanks
Nice job man….!!!!
Well that escalated quickly.

There’s methods for root working on devices ranging from the galaxy s3 to Asus tablets that don’t have the need to flash anything. Anyone out there not familiar should wait for this method. On gs3 it’s called debugfsroot or something.
They blocked it, that’s the first thing I tried. Otherwise I would have posted that method.

Hey,
very good work. But don’t works for me, because there is no German sales code in the CSC of the European Firmware. Is it posible to make a firmware, which includes the DBT sales code? There is a original Firmware available which includes the western european codes:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/08/06/update-samsung-galaxy-note-101-xxalga-android-404-ics-france-firmware/
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/165818247/eb2fb89/N8000XXALGA_N8000OXXALG5_XEF.zip.html
Would it posible to make a rooted firmware based on this Version? This would be wonderful!
Many thanks, Niggy
Sure will do let me see if i can do it tomorrow check back!
That would be perfect 🙂 I’ll wait for it 🙂
will app to ext sd work after rooting i am scared to root my device vid the warranty for nothing i just want to move apps to ext sd card but as i saw and read on other sites it says that root is required there isint any other methode pls help!!
can anybody confirm it ? it work for GT-N8013 (WIFI) for root by Download UEALGB GT-N8013 Firmware with Root injected using ODIN. Thanks Guys !
can you make a video for GT-N8013 [UEALGB] please ! for root inject
Works fine, it’s the same just the different file, I tested it multiple times on my N8013.
alright thank you i had to make sure you kno better to be safe than sorry ass 😉
This gave me root but didn’t allow me to mount they system file as rw. It keeps failing. What do I do now?
did you enable root?
yes and initially it tells me that system has been mounted RW but it isnt. No modifications are allowed. Ad blocking programs also cant run. I was not able to unroot either. We just ran into a big problem with the system update going into a boot loop.
which app did u use? ES File Explorer?
Max I have a question for you. Which tablet is the best between Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 or the Galaxy Note 10.1 for longevity, speed and quality? The GN 10.1 has the pen, Photoshop and two gig of ram but the TF700 has us screen, looks better quality and USB. I just don’t know which one will keep me happy for a year or two and hopping the quality of the picture would still be better than my Motorola Xoom which I still love.
He max does root also work on a gt-n8010 it is the europe version off the wifi only?
thanx
keep up the good work
greeting tjeerd
Use the CWM method, should work fine for N8010:
https://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/
Hi Tjeerd,
Is Your N8010 able to root as stated by Max. Please advise.
Benson
Odin root works fine
Lookinng for overclicking on n8013
And some newer roms
Where the root for n8013
And tweaks
Made my day when i rooted my sbn 10.1
I accidently rooted a GT- N8010 with 8000 firmware. Everything workes fine, exept the upgrade button says: could not connect to a sever. Is there a solution for this problem?
Best regards, Jan
upgrade button?
Setting – about device – software update – update: unable to connect network.
Oh I think that could be an issue with Samsung servers. Try again later or try from a different location on different internet.
Root works good on n8013
Sg n 10.1 way faster the tf700 ans sounds 500% better
Screens is just fine at 1280 x800
Photo shops works on both so problem there
As the memory apps load faster and more can be loaded in memory so speeds up process
All in al imho sam g note the way to go
Andriod works way better here no freezes no sod nothing
Or
Hi Zedomax,
Just got my note10.1 16gig…. does this rooting method support moving apps to external sd card?
Yes, it does. I just posted app2SD method for Note 10.1 on XDA here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857391
OR you can just flash HighOnAndroid ROM.
Hi Max,
Noob question, will I lose root if I update firmware OTA if I had my Note rooted in this method? Because then I’ll just go to root it the other way.
Thanks in advance 🙂
both methods can get ota just the cwm method will require u to reinstall stock recovery to get ota updates.
Max:
Is there official firmware for N8010 because so far i only can find the retail version. that’s why there is missing screen lock, security setting.. or is there any way to get back all these function..?
You mean on stock ROM?
Now ,I got back the screen lock and security setting because yesterday, I downloaded N8010XXALGC_N8010OXXALG4_ from the sammobile and root with CWM method.
Thanks.
Yes use CWM method.
I follow your step and it’s reboot to recovery mode and then it’s tell me that booktablet.apk is error. I choose reboot again and now my Note 10.1 is root Thx man. But I just curious what is booktablet ?
Not sure, did you do anything else? I have never seen that before.
Nope. Just follow your step and I got this error but my note is working fine after reboot.
Got same error with booktablet.apk.
Everything OK except can’t connect with Kies now. My N7000 Note connects OK. The Note 10.1 used to before the root. Any ideas?
Thanks
Do you have Wifi version?
Hi Max, no, 3G version. GT-N8000
Message was:
… Applied the CSC-code : KSA
did not match sized ‘/system/csc/common/system/app/BooksTablet.apk’ (No data available)
Cheers
Oh you might need another firmware for your tablet. Try re-loading the firmware for your country then re-root using CWM method.
I have the same problem as Barryt. Where do i get my countrys firmware? I’m virtually having a panic attack here. bought my note two days ago and now it won’t boot. Please, I’m forever in dept for you if you can help me!
do u hv one for malaysia ??? i’ll always be in your dbt if u can make it for me..
Nice work thx, one question, if I want to go back to stock recovery for warranty reason where do I find it and how do I do this. Thx for your help all, I’m totally new on this where talking about the 8000 model
regards
Great job buddy! However everytime i try to download the firmware, i always ended up stopping at 300mb or so. Can u upload the file to a resumeable-download sites or any torrent site perhaps? Although method 2 is easier, but I guess method 1 is really what i want. I’m using the XXLGA EUROPEAN firmware by the way. Thanks!
i d/l ed the new root /up grade for n 8013 every thing wotks cept my gooogle play ??????
my galaxy note build number is XWALH1,
it is can be root using this menthod or not?
thanks
DO you have Note 10.1?
Thats the same build as my Note 10.1
Its a Malaysian Note 10.1, and I was going to ask the same question. Should we use the European firmware?
Thanks
Try method 2 with cwm.
My GT N8000 finally got here. I love this thing. One thing that’s wrong with it is, my build number is UBALGA. Not compatible with your root method. ÷( I’m not sure what build I have. Any help, anyone?
Hi Max, thanks for your hardwork. I have the German gt-n8000. i forgot to write down my firmware number, i tried to root it with the european firmware u did post here. After flashing with Odin it went to Recovery Mode, i just made a restart and after that it did boot normaly, but even before entering my pin it says “S-Note closed” after pressing Ok it pops-up again and again. Please help me.
Thank you very much.
That might be why, I think German firmware isn’t different from all the other European firmwares (sorry just found that out), try unrooting back to German firmware then re-root using Method 2.
Hi, im not familiar with unrooting. I normaly just download the stock firmware and overwrite it. could u please link me or write me a guide how to unroot galaxy note 10.1. Thanks again mate.
Bro.. can u make a root injection for firmware in asia… N8000DXLG4… i really need root access for VPN.. i not really wish to root using recovery method.. which cause binary counter increase…
and actually is there any diff for European firmware and my firmware?? plz do help..
Thank you very much
Hi
My sim card slot broke when i used a microsim adapter on it and now I need to bring it back to Samsung Singapore for repair.
How do I unroot. I re-installed stock recovery and downloaded one of the official firmwares from Singapore in sam mobile but I don’t know now to unroot?
Is it simply flashing the firmware?
Thanks in advance
Helo max iam counfius what is bater use rooting by odin or rooting by wcm??what u recomand
My note build malaysian xwalg7 thanks for reply
Hi there. Great work, well done.
But I have a question:
here:
http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/118/Triangle_Away_vs_Samsung/
I read
“On the Galaxy S III (among other new devices), Samsung has gone a step further, and has introduced a background service that runs on your device and checks for things such as a modified /system, apps running with root access, etc.”
I thought: Rooting in this way would NOT prevent the background service from doing those checks. Am I right?
You can remove the files,
erase /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh using ES File Explorer with Root and Write enabled.
Thanks for the reply 🙂
I already bought Root Explorer so I can delete those files with it but there’s something I can’t understand: are those two files somewhat related with that service chainfire was speaking about? Their name seem to be totally unrelated :O
(confused)
excuse me admin, you wrote that:
you will be able to fully unroot easily (actually just one click in SuperSU app)
so please telll me how to unroot,thanks 🙂

Hello does this method works with stock rom build number N8000XWALG9? (TPH – Portugal)
Thanx
Yes works but I recommend the other root CWM method.
Thanx Max! Ur the man!
Hi I found N8000XWALG9 firmare (for my country).
How can I inject root on this rom, I would prefer to use this instead of general European rom?
Thanx
Hey Max, can you please show us how to root the Galaxy Note 10.1 on a Mac? It would be greatly appreciated as I have been looking everywhere. Hopefully I get a response! Cheers!
Hi guys, is anyone having problem get the 64gb sd card read or iszit just me.Sorry if it only me.
any advice to solve this. i’m using a class 10 card.
Great Job on the note 10.1
All to MAX the Great lol i had all my galaxysss rooted S, S2, S3 & now Note10.1 GTN8000.
You have to reformat the sd card from exfat to fat 32. Easiest way I found when I encountered this was to put it into my phone, wait for the phone to promt me to fix the card, and hit reformat. Only took a few seconds once I thought to try my phone as apparently the note 10.1 does not give the option to do this?
hi max , 2weeks ago i rooted my note .
but after that , my device twice or more always reset by it self.
can u help me? how to fix it.
Hi Max !
I have the Note 10.1 8000. I rooted it using the non custom method demonstrated above and everything was fine. I have busybox 1.20.2 installed. Recently whenever I issue commands such as ifconfig / hostname etc. I receive a segmentation fault.
I have the N8000XXALGA firmware installed. I have tried uninstalling busybox however it fails. I have also tried re-flashing with the same firmware and N8000XWALG7 (KSA) – the tablet’s region firmware.
In both cases I receive the same error the user “Barryt” encountered :
:… Applied the CSC-code : KSA
did not match sized
‘/system/csc/common/system/app/BooksTablet.apk’
After the flash failure my tablet reboots normally and everything works fine.
I have unistalled Avast and tried however I get the same error.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks !
It could be from the busybox you installed, busybox is compatible with most android (the app i mean) but might cause problems with tablets.
Hey Max, my build number is N8013UEALI3. Will I have any problems rooting using this method? Much appreciated!
Use the CWM method.
Thanks…used it and worked perfectly.
A total noob question here as I have ABSOLUTELY no prior experience in rooting etc.
Here’s the situation: I’ve purchased a Galaxy Note 8000 in China(I live here for now) and it seems to have a TONNE of Chinese bloatware.
I’m going to follow the steps detailed above and inject the European firmware ( if thats the right term). Hopefully things should go well and should not be a problem
My question is this : will this method remove the Chinese apps ( QQ, Ren Ren etc) which seem to have come with the system and install Google Play etc? Or do I have it all wrong and am SOL and stuck with this?
Thanks!!
Yes will remove all chinese apps and install Google Play.
I have a n813ueali3 build and i would like to use this method because cwm one requires restoring stock recovery. Wouldn’t i lose my root then and id have to re use the cwm one and not have the update then. Also i’ve rooted a few devices before but im alittle un-fimiliar with how i would be restoring the stock recovery if I used the cwm method.
Thank you very much
the nice thing is I still got my opened taps in internet browser after the root
🙂
thanks again
Everything perfect, very easy and fast despite the size of the OFW as root and am doing well, just a little mistake to restart the tablet but nothing remarkable, I recommend it to people who want to do and do not you dare, Thank you MAX work.
Para Españoles:
Todo perfecto, muy facil y rapido a pesar del tamaño del OFW, ya soy root y va bien, solo un pequeño error al reinicio de la tablet pero nada destacable, lo recomiendo a la gente que quiera hacerlo y no se atreva, Gracias por tu trabajo MAX.
In ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.1 I cannot find option to creat epartition on sd card.
Is it missing?
Hi. I did the root like you show. Thanks.
But the youtube app desappeare. I installed it from the market, but it doesnet work.
All the rest seams to be fine… Can you helpme?
[by the way, after I root the tab doesn’t connect anymore with Samsung Kies… is this normal?]
Please Zedomax I have a samsung galaxy note 10.1 n8010 wifi and i live in the uk. However everytime I need to charge it dosn’t work, I nned you to tell me how to unroot, so I can return it under guarantee. Please help Me!
Hello,
I have a problem. I’ve rooted my Galaxy Note 10.1 with this tutorial.
I bought it here in Germany. Well, the error I’ve encountered is, that after I rooted my tablet
there were always poping up a message-box saying “Unfortunately, S Note has stopped.”.
I click on OK and wait for several seconds (2-4 seconds) and this message appears again.
What can I do? I got a GT-N8000
I am also experiencing this issue. The tablet is running really slowly and the pop up keeps coming up. I’ve tried to reflash it but its still the same. During the flash it runs in to an error. Please help, I cant even use my tablet now..
Got it fixed… you have to battle your way through to settings —-> application manager——> All tab->find s note and clear data. This will solve it issue. Seems like there is a problem with the s note cache or something. but that cleared it up.
Hi MAX…
One question…
What about GT-N8010 ???
Have you the spanish version?
Thanks Max.
Hi
I have Note 8000 & am in India.
I am trying to download the european build from downloadandroid.com but the link is not resumable & I dont have a stable net connection.
Pl post a torrent link or a hotfile/deposit/rapidshare type link
Thanks

Nice work Max,
I have a question with root injected method if I update the system via OTA, SU will still working after update?
cheers,
Raffix Quest.
NOOB QUESTION PLS I am from africa…i think this european build should work for me..I prefer root injected..but when i update to jelly bean OTA will the root be disabled? pls respond
Max, thanks mate you’re an absolute legend.
I am a complete Luddite and when faced with trying to fix my wife’s GT-N8000 (purchased in China) so she could get onto Google Play Store I was nervous to say the least. Your instructions were clear and your medicine worked. For anyone who gets stuck with a China bought GT-N8000 this is the fix for you.
Thanks a million! Android High indeed 🙂
Yess! Rooted! Oho I had a N8010 now i have N8000? And was just WiFi but now WiFi and 3g? Did I do something wrong?
hi,
i have a N8000XXBLJ9 build it should be a European version. Is it safe to install N8000XXALGA
Hi I have wifi version, but my compilation is UEALI3, can work with this ROM? is the official
Hi, I’m in China build number N8000ZCZLI1. I’m on ICS 4.0.4. I’ve dloaded Clean Stock Euro ICS firmware N8000XXALGA_N8000OXXALG5_PHE_RootGalaxyNote. I’m hoping I’ve got the right one but, I’ve no idea if this is
ICS 4.0.4 – can you confirm pls which version this is? Should I dload another clean stock Euro that is 4.0.4?
Which 1 – any idea? I’m not looking to move to JB, happy to stay with ICS.
I’ve never done anything like flashing or rooting. I would like to simply change the O/S from Chinese to full English, getting rid of Chinese bloatware etc. I’m not looking for a custom ROM, overclocking etc.
Just a clean Samsung English 3G Note 10.1
I’ve no idea, for the purpose of warranty if something goes wrong, how to make a ghost of the current original O/S before proceeding – how is that done? I can’t find anywhere, due to vastly reduced and restricted internet access, that goes through this process (to give me peace of mind 🙂 )
Which method of the 2 above do you recommend I follow for my situation? Pls confirm which ROM pack link I need
to dload and use for your recommendation. I’d hate to dload to my pc, copy to the microSD and hit start with the
wrong ICS.
I’d appreciate all feedback you can offer. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into helping folks like me (clueless with Android but great with a desktop haha)
done it, thx. One thing though, if like me you follow the video, the yes on the Note’s screen between the no’s doesn’t show, only no’s, until u tab down the list. I installed six times before I knew how to find the yes. That’s in landscape as per the video.
Hi, i want to do the same. Changing my Chinese 10.1 N8000 to a European version. Which methode and which ROM did you use and did it remove all the Chinese garbage and included Google apps (play store etc.)?
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Dave. You have to root, to take control over the process – sorry, you have to. I was lucky to have a guy locally to help over the phone when it wasn’t going right. I’ve looked back and think I used StockROMs.net_N8000XXALGA_N8000OXXALG5. I tried other “Euro” ones and got Russian etc.
As long as you follow the written instructions and the video (and don’t forget, if you do it in landscape, there’s a point in the installation where you need to select (screen tap) a yes, like the youtube video shows, but if in landscape you don’t know you can scroll down to see the yes when it’s your first time – all you see are no’s).

I know it’s a worry m8, after you’ve spent all that money when you feel on your own, clueless and in the dark. Once I was told to scroll down and hit the yes and found it, it all went great. I installed a Russian version, uninstalled, found a GB version and installed that etc.
Somewhere was told to install Skype early on to get round the appz store I think.
As far as I know, I’ve got what the UK should have on it. If you want a Yank one, I don’t know the difference. Being here, you know you can’t get out without a VPN. If you try and access the store etc without it, you don’t get to go lol.
Make sure to backup the original, in case you need to put it back on for warranty.
Other than that, I can’t think of any problems you should have. As I said, the screen with all the “No’s” on it baffled me until my guy said scroll down via the volume buttons and then everything worked out ok – the “Yes” was there 🙂 Good luck!

Hey Max, I have GT-N8000 Build Number is IMM76.N8000ZSALI1 (N8000XXLI1) so Which rom should I use? I got this from Hong Kong 3G Version.
Hi Max,
Tried root method 1 on the Galaxy Note 10.1 Wifi (with the latest stock update) Ver. “UECLK8” using the “Download UEALGB GT-N8013 Firmware with Root injected.”
Thru the Odin all went okay and the system reboot, but when it did it stayed on the Samsung logo and nothing further.
Please advise how to solve or any other flash method that I can make it work.
I thought this method was easy…..but when I did it… I got stuck…, so that I would like to ask more advice from you..
After I have done, and then my device rebooted but it got stuck… and the red let/ter say that
” did not match sized /system/csc/common/system/app/BooksTablet.apk’ (No data available).
Then I waited for a long time…but I saw nothing, so I rebooted system… but when It was rebooting, it got stuck at logo “Sumsung”. I think its system was broken…..
So How should I do more?
Please help me too.. Thank you in advance!

Great work as always, I appreciate all the effort you put into this.
I am wanting to un-root my 8013 and could not find the instructions on here. I recently bricked my RAZR, so I just want to make sure I do this right before I ruin this tablet
Any and all help would be much appreciated in un-rooting this 8013.
Thank you.
Hi, like in a previous post i also have a Note 10.1 N8000 bought in China and i would like to flash it to a european firmware so i get rid of all the Chinese apps. Also i would like to have the Google apps and play store on it (which is not on the Chinese version). Anyway i also do not need any rooting etc. just a clean original european version of the Note 10.1 N8000. Who can tell me which methode to use best and which ROM to use (download). It is the first time i have to do this and i can use the tutorials found here just need to know which methode and ROM to use.
Thanks for any feedback.
See above Dave and acknowledge pls
Hi i tried to flash European Firmware with Odin but for some reason it always fails when it reaches ‘modem.bin’. Tried two different versions from which the second one flashed in a different sequence but also failed at modem.bin.
Now my note 10.1 seems to have a bit of both Chinese and European but when looking in the system it shows the CSC unknown now. For the rest all seems to work and all Google apps are working too but can someone explain why it always fail at modem.bin. I want to flash it without errors and then being able to wipe clean the cache etc. to get rid of all the Chinese stuff. Any advice welcome.
Thanks
write down the steps u r taking pls.
At what step is the modem.bin?
Hi, first of all thanks for replying to my thread. Really appreciate it!
First things i did succesfully was to flash the Clockwork recovery and SU. Then i tried to flash with Odin the new firmaware. See below log file:
Added!!

Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
Please wait..

Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
Leave CS..

Get PIT for mapping..
Firmware update start..
boot.img
NAND Write Start!!

hidden.img
modem.bin
Complete(Write) operation failed.
All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Like mentioned i tried another firmware which flashes the system.img before the modem.bin and then fails again.
After that one my note shows:
PDA: with the flashed version number
CSC: unknown
I cannot understand why it fails everytime. I checked my note with another european SIM card to see if it is locked but works normally with that SIM card as well. If you have any idea what is going wrong or what to do then let me know.
Thanks again.

Hi Max
I’m facing the boot loop issue after finishing all above steps, it’s stuck on SAMSUNG logo now i tried rooting it again passed with the same issue. please your support
Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 3G Version
Did you try the CWM version, I don’t recommend this method unless you have the original firmware when Note 10.1 first came out.
Actually i fixed this issue by resting the device to factory, it’s working and still have the root access also i’m able to receive the OTA update. Thanks for support Max
hey max im stuck at the samsung logo for quite some time…btw i tried the cwm version it didnt work…helpppp

I tried this with my GT N8013. It took a long time for the ODIN process to finish but it was green in the end.
However, immediately after auto-reboot, the usual SAMSUNG Logo animation and sound intro happened BUT it gets stuck there. It doesn’t load the Android “Desk Top Environment” with all the apps to select from.
Does this file expand in size as is working to root the Galaxy 10.1? Is it possible that it expanded to the point where it totally used up all the storage space on the internal HD and now there’s no room for any kind of movement within – the movement and space needed to load the desktop environment?
I tried re-booting and waiting about 15 minutes for the desktop environment to load but its still stuck.
How do I get unstuck?
Disregard my previous message – I fixed it. I dis-assembled it and disconnected the power cord connector from the battery (based on the picture tutorial in fixit.com.) – so that I could stop that boot-loop – bs. There’s also a platinum level quality youtube video that shows one how to rip apart the Tablet “Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000/8010/8013 Disassembly & Assembly” by “LE55ONS” Dammit why can’t they all super clear like this on youtube?!!! I then down loaded a stock quality rom and re-flashed the tablet. Funny thing though, it still kept on getting stuck in the boot-loop until the battery power fell low enough for the device to signal for a re-charge – that’s when I saw the desk top environment screen behind the low power notice.
How about GT N8020 LTE I just bought it.
hey max i have the samsung tab 10.1 model number sph-1497 android 4.1.2 buitn #jz054k.14970cbmf2 do u have any info on the root fot this device? hope so love you work the best ever been following your work for along time now iam hooook lol ty

hi,
i just follow your method,
but after rooting, i mean after finishing with odin,
i cant find supersu in my apps.
whats wrong?
I did everything as described on your video, got a “PASS” in Odin3 V1.85. So far so good. But….
It does not run CWM. It loads stock “Android system recovery ” Blue lettering, and on the lower part of the screen it is in ” # MANUAL MODE # “, Yellow lettering
Do I arrow down to “apply update from external storage”???
I am assuming that the CMW SuperSU-v0.94 did not run..
What now?
Please advise,
Sincerely,
Israel
Problems launching this for GT-8020, as well as GIO, any other person who tested and worked for this version,

Hi,
I had updated the software for my Samsung Galaxy Not GT-N8000. After update was complete, the tab is not booting. It showing Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N8000.
I think when I ODIN it I Click Re-partition.
How to fix the issue. How can i fix the same and start using the tab.
PLEASE HELP
After watching some of your video i figured out that my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N8000 is
in android soft brick. Same problem with my Motorola Xoom But i still don’t know how to fix it
How to fix the issue
What did you exactly do? Flashing CWM recovery does not cause any soft bricks, you must have done something else?
Hi Thanks for reply.
I got official kitkat update for my GT-N8000 after install it i really don’t like it os downgrade it using ODIN to 4.0.4 then upgrade it to jelly bean using WiFi after that it stuck in samsung logo
try to restart but not working
then i Odin it again with 4.0.4 I think when I ODIN it I Click Re-partition
after that it stuck on showing me Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N8000
I try Hard Reset but it Don’t showing me Android system recovery
only think that i can do is go to Download mode
I think that’s the problem, you cannot downgrade, you will soft brick like you said, you will need to grab KitKat firmware and flash that with ODIN. Try Samfirmware.com for the latest firmwares.
Odin KitKat really worked
I thank you for taking time out to answer my question. I am sure that you are really busy and I appreciate you taking the time to respond personally to me. THANK YOU again.
Hi Max, it feels so good and easy when a bricked phone or tablet comes to life by solution. but…. Is the samfirmware website yours? Do you post those updates? If not, are you sure it is safe and does not contain deliberate holes?
And does it come with clockwork mod? if not, how to install it after flashing the prerooted firmware?
and., do I have to flash the whole samfirmware again, for later updates?
This sale mostly takes place around the time
when the retailer is ready to put up fresh stock and needs to
clear the old unsold stock. s, when e-commerce had
been grown rapidly as it could not be made bigger as though the days go by.
Additionally, there are some problems which result from identity theft which cannot be corrected especially if the identity theft was undetected for quite some time.
and., do I have to flash the whole samfirmware again, for later updates?
I have a Samsung n8005 bought in Turkey with disabled phone and 3g software. If I install n8000 European OS will the 3g and phone be enabled? Thanks in advance.
