I never really looked into rooting my Galaxy Note II phone before but decided to give it a try a couple of days ago. The core reason for that was that I. wanted more control over the phone. Not only would it allow me to install apps from Google’s Play store that demand root, it usefull would enable me to uninstall stock apps running on the phone that I’d never use.
You can not uninstall stock apps if you do not have root access, and since Samsung Decided to add a lot of apps to the phone by default, I Decided to give it a try to remove all the apps that I’m not using from it.
Note : The method follows That worked on my international version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with the model number GT-N7100. It May be compatible with other versions as well but I can not guarantee that it will work. Rooting May void the warranty of the device.
