If you own Samsung Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note and Galaxy S3, you will probably know CF-Root which developed by XDA Developer, Chainfire. CF-Root is the best known method to root Samsung Galaxy series devices. Besides rooting, it also brings ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery and CWM Manager Application along. However, CF-Auto-Root for Samsung Galaxy Note II is not same as previous CF-Root because it does not have custom ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery and CWM Manager Application. It just does the simple rooting and nothing more. So you can root Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with CF-Auto-Root on stock Samsung firmwares. And SuperSU binary and SuperSU application will be installed only. You still have the original stock recovery…
CF-Auto-Root for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is designed for GT-N7100 model only (however, some mentioned that it is working on GT-N7105 LTE model as well). And will not work on other Samsung Galaxy Note 2 models. How to know which Samsung Galaxy Note 2 model that I have? Go to Settings – About device – Model number. You should see Model number as GT-N71000 like picture above. And be sure to get more information at XDA website.

Hi jayce. If I use CF-auto-root to root my phone, can I update my latest firmware using OTA update without un-rooting it? Will it bricks my phone? Since this CF-auto-root does not install any custom recovery.
Thanks.
Yes if not mistaken. No.
Ok thank you. By the way, how do I un-root it if my phone rooted using CF-auto-root? 🙂
