How To Update Samsung Galaxy Note 2 To Android 4.4.4 KitKat ~ Tic Droid

The international LTE version of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 2 has the model number GT-N7105 and it’s just got the KitKat 4.4.2 update build number N7105XXUFND3. This firmware is the first KK build for the Note 2 LTE, which actually arrived with Jelly Bean 4.3. Owners can make a manual update or wait for an OTA bump-up. The device can be re-rooted with CF-Auto-Root from XDA Developer Chainfire.

All serious Android users know that once a phone is rooted they have control over the software admin commands. Rooting lets users make aesthetic changes by installing custom ROMs. They can also make the handset faster, save battery life and free up memory.

If you want to root your handset then go through this easy tutorial from XDA Developers.

One: Download and unzip Odin3-v1.85 and CF-Auto-Root. Make sure you have the GT-N7105 Note 2 international LTE version. If you’re unsure, find out by heading to settings > about device > model number. This root only works with this model number.

Two: Rooting the phone will wipe its data so make sure you back it all up. Rooting also drains the battery so make sure you have at least 80 per cent battery life. If your phone dies half way through the process, you’ll have to start all over again.

Three: Install the USB drivers that you’ll need onto your PC and enable USB debugging on the Note 2 by going to apps > settings > developer options and checking USB debugging > OK. Then unplug, start Odin, click the PDA button and select the CF-Auto-Root tar.md5 file extracted in step one.

Four: Boot up your Note 2 into download mode by turning it off and holding down the volume down, power and home buttons together until you see the download mode screen. This screen will prompt you to hit volume up to go into download mode.

Five: Once in download mode plug your Note 2 into your PC with a USB cable. Once in Odin, make sure you don’t check re-partition and then hit the start button. The Note 2 should boot up and you’ll see that you have root access to your device on Android 4.4.2. You’ll hopefully see a pass message with a green background while in Odin, and this means that you can unplug your phone.

Six: Confirm that your Note 2 is rooted by installing Root Checker from Google Play Store.

Seven: once your device is rooted you can install any custom ROM you fancy. Try a few out before you find the one that works best for you, but we recommend the PhoeniX ROM and the Ditto Note 3 ROM.
