How to root Samsung Galaxy Note


Google’s Android OS leads the US Smart phone market with 48.5% market share compared to 29.5% held by Apple’s iOS. The OS is used by a number of OEM’s (Original equipment manufacturers). Even though Android is open source OS, it is shipped in locked version where the buyer only gets “guest access”, which limits the user’s control over the device. For example, the owner is powerless to remove pre installed apps. Rooting gives super user access to the owner, allowing complete control of the device by the user. 

Samsung is the leading player in the global mobile market. In the smart phone sector the company is the number one player competing with iPhone, BlackBerry and other Android players in the market. Samsung also sells smart phones based on its proprietary OS named Bada.

Today we will discuss how to root Samsung Galaxy Note. The Samsung Galaxy Note is an Android smart phone and tablet computer that was introduced in October 2011. It has a large 5.3 inch HD Super AMOLED display at 1280 x 800 pixels resolution with Corning Gorilla Glass, which is between that of conventional smart phones and tablets.
