We recently covered the steps you can follow to update Galaxy Note N7000 to DDLRB Android 4.0.1. Now we’ll guide you on how you can root this firmware. The advantages of rooting are countless. Rooting allows you tinker with phone settings otherwise not possible. This includes apps that can alter CPU speed, voltage as well as other advance tasks.
Be sure to backup all your important data before commencing and make sure your phone battery is fully charged.

Step 4- Open ODIN on your PC. Make sure USB drivers for the phone are installed. Upon successful connection one of the ID:COM boxes will turn yellow with the COM port number.
Step 5- Select the file you downloaded in step 1. You will find these once you extract the package. Click on ‘PDA’ and select the file GL_NOTECORE_v13_OC.tar
Step 6- In ODIN, check the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options.
Step 7- Click Start button in ODIN. Installation process will start which takes a few minutes to complete. After this your phone will restart and your phone running DDLRB will be rooted.
