We just covered the steps you can follow to get Android 4.1.1 UBALJ2 firmware on your Galaxy Note 2. Now you can follow the guide below to root this firmware. Rooting enables you to access parts of your phone otherwise not possible on un-rooted firmwares. This includes apps with more advance functionality and countless other things.
The guide below will automatically install Clockwork Mod recovery so you do not need to have it installed before proceeding.
Step 1- Download the root package and extract it in a folder
Step 2- Download ODIN (if you have not downloaded it already) and make sure your USB drivers are installed
Step 3- Boot your phone into download mode. Do this by switching it off and then pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home buttons together, and then pressing the Power button. You’ll see a triangle and an Android logo. Press the power button to enter download mode
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 cwm6-root-note2.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 ZNDLK4 firmware will be rooted.
To verify whether your phone is successfully rooted, download the Root Checker app from the Play Store.
