There has been a bit of a back and forth between the development community and Verizon lately, specifically relating to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. First there was root, then there was not, suddenly there was root again, and then there was not. Or as XDA Elite Recognized Developer AdamOutler explains it:
"Well, this has been quite the saga thus far…
Us: Suck It Verizon (exploit)
them: Suck it XDA-Developers (OTA patch)
Us: Back Atcha Verizon (exploit)
them: Stop it XDA (OTA Patch)
Us: No You! (exploit)"
The combination of Adam's CASUAL deployment system and Recognized Developer Ralekdev's exploits themselves has been continually providing Verizon Note 2 owners with the ability to root their device through each OTA. The pair have once again managed to undo the restrictions put in place by the latest update, and they have released that exploit to the public. Be aware that this is only for those who are running a completely stock ROM. If you have already installed a custom recovery, this will cause you issues.
For those of you who are running a stock ROM and looking for root, the usual rules apply. Windows(7/8)/Mac/Linux users can all make use of this cross platform tool, which will take you through the process quickly and easily. Make sure you have Java installed beforehand and you're all set. As always, be prepared to take a log if you run into any issues, and make sure to have a thorough read through the development thread before starting the process.
