The Xperia X10 Rooting Toolkit also works flawlessy with the Samsung Galaxy Note and gives you full root access (tested by myself)

Just follow the instructions to root/unroot the device here

Worked for me! It was even easier than rooting an HTC Evo 4G. This thread, or at least the thread referenced in the first post, should be stickied in the Development sub-forum.

I am a Noob and I can Root my Note!

I had experience rooting a Milestone 2 with SuperOneClick and an unbranded Android Tablet with Z4Root. (Thanks to developers of these!)

Unfortunately, both these methods did not work on the Galaxy Note so I came here and found this thread.

Unfortunately, ADB drivers was an issue with the zergRush Exploit on first run. The easiest way to get around this is to install PDANet on Windows and have it install the drivers for you. No need to complete the whole installation, just watch when it's finished installing USB drivers and then when prompted to continue, just cancel. Then re-run the zergRush Exploit and it should do its magic (Again thanks to the developers who work on these!)

While I'm able to freeze some apps with ROM Toolbox, I'm unable to change boot animation or the battery icon. Would appreciate if anyone could help with this!

Rooting hav no relation to install official/crckd version of apk.
Rooting needed for those application which are needed to access your system data e.g backup etc
when you need to install these kinds of application (weather off/unoff) you needs Root.

The optional unrooting package works also perfectly (just for info)...

i have sent back my Galaxy Note to amazon just to wait for the white version of the Note.

This method won't increase your binary counter, so root and unroot it as often as you like

Never either had any problem at all after rooting it, so this method is also stable and won't crash your device in any way or crash any applications...

Root confirmed working here, superuser.apk doesn't have permissions set properly but still works, easy to fix, updates fine from market.

aussiebum · Nov 2, 2011

Awesome - confirmed working. This needs to be stickied... other websites are promoting netchips CWN kernel method instead of this MUCH simplier way.

For you noobs with a clean system (that means me!), get the following files:
Note I run a 64 bit windows box, get the 32 bit variants if necessary.

You need:
1) Latest version of Kies

www.samsung.com/ca/kies/index.html
download file for me was: Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_4.exe

2) Java:
www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Click on jdk and download. File for me: jdk-7u1-windows-x64.exe

3) android sdk:
developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
My file was: installer_r15-windows.exe

4) zergrush root script
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312859

grab the zip file in that page i.e.
DooMLoRD_v1_UNROOTING.zip

and unzip it to your windows box.

Install 1, 2, 3 in that order.
Find the SDK Manager program in your sdk install directory, double click it, and download/update 'Android SDK Platform Tools'.
Note you can't run the sdk manager program from the command prompt, or it'll complain that directories are being locked.

Now follow the instructions on the zergrush page, i.e. do the 'before you begin' stuff.

Go to the directory where you unzipped the doomlord zip file, run the runme script from a command prompt,and that's it.

To test, download terminal monitor, run it, and do a 'su' then 'id' and see if it says you are root or not.

Good luck!
