All in all, the rooting we are about to describe below should not be hard to perform. Just follow the actions we have in this guide and everything will go swell for both you and your device.

Here goes the beginning of the tutorial: go to where you placed the two zip files from the requirements; as soon as they are on the display of your notebook, you need to unzip them on it and then power the handset off.
What you are up against now is this: press and hold, at the same time, Volume Down and Home; after that press Power and, when the phone is on again, you have to press Volume Up. After these actions enter your phablet in Download Mode, you will be told to open Odin on your PC and then to plug the phone to it.
Odin will then try to find the Note 2 N7105; once it spots it, you should see the following: “Added!!“. Or you can notice an ID:COM box in yellow and a COM port number instead; should the plugging fail, you can make it work by using a different USB port or flashing the USB Drivers again.
While you are still in Odin, you need to click on PDA; then opt for the CF-Auto-Root .tar.md5 file.
