How to root the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note (also works on the Bell, Rogers and Telus versions)

Please note that this tutorial applies only to the AT&T, Rogers, Bell and Telus versions of the Samsung Galaxy Note – you can check here for a How-To on rooting the original version of the device.

I.  Before You Begin

1.  Back up your data before you begin the process – chances are slim of losing any of it, but do it just in case.

2.  This will add a number to the flash counter on Galaxy Note, which Samsung could check to deny warranty on your device.  If you don’t want to face this, turn back now and visit when we have something which roots your device without increasing your flash counter.

II.  Rooting the Galaxy Note

1.  Download Odin3 1.85.

2.  Download pda.tar.

3.  Extract Odin3 to a folder on your desktop and double-click on Odin3 v1.85.exe to start the application.

4.  Put your Note into Recovery Mode.  To do this, with the phone powered down, hold Volume Down + Home and press the power button, then Volume Up when it asks you to confirm booting into Recovery Mode.

5.  Connect your device to your Windows-based PC.  If you have already put your device into Recovery Mode, Odin should recognize it and the ID:COM box should turn yellow, as shown in the picture below.

5.  Load the pda.tar file into the PDA section of Odin, like in the picture below.

5.  Make sure that Re-Partition and Flash Lock boxes are unchecked.

6.  Click on Start

That’s it.  Your Galaxy Note should now be rooted after it reboots.

III.  Installing Superuser

Open up the Market app on your Galaxy Note to search for it or head here for the web version.  Search  for superuser and then install it.  You should have the Superuser app available in your app drawer once it is installed.
