Make sure you have super user. If your phone is rooted, super user should be installed automatically unless you use a tecno n3 which requires you to download super user manually from playstore after rooting.

Make sure to allow applications root access when ptompted

newman10: I have a Samsung galaxy grand GT-I9082. Its the new dual simphone from Samsung. How can I root it. Its running jellybean. Thanks a lot

firstly, Download SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS AND ABD DRIVERS.
secondly, Download CWM RECOVERY.
thirdly, Download [url=developers.com/attachdl/91ca527c26d143da33b09b85cf733d60/5131f172/1/7/5/1/2/0/4/Odin3_v3.04.zip]ODIN 3[/url].

Install the drivers
Now Turn off your device and go to download mode to be able to flash with odin by pressing Vol down + power + home button (all at the same time). release it when you see GT-i9082 logo
-Press vol up to confirm
Now that you are in odin mode connect your device via usb cable !
open Odin3 that you have downloaded
If there is a pop-up like Installing ADB drivers let it get finished it is usually updates
Make sure the COM is lit up with a cyan blue colour. this means your device has been detected and ready to be flashed
Extract the CWM-touch_i9082_chotu.tar.zip
Now select PDA and browse to where you have extracted CWM-touch_i9082_chotu.tar.md5 and select it
click start
Now you have a cwm touch recovery

Lets root
download SUPERUSER
Copy to externel sdcard (NOT INTERNAL)
Now power off the device and press vol up + power + home button (all at once)to boot into recovery
Select install zip from sdcard --->choose zip from sdcard ---> scroll down and select UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.05.zip, confirm.
now reboot device and enjoy root.

Hmmm, don't think so. Each phone have their own root procedures, though some are more similar than others. You'll find a few guides for rooting the note 2 N7100 @ this link. Used the Odin procedure and it worked perfectly for my friend's note 2: [url] www.android.gs/root/samsung-galaxy-note-2-n7100/[/url]

Sorry for the late response. Has been busy
Download Samsung USB drivers
Or gotl Samsung website and download keis
Download Odin
Download Cf-Auto_root
Now we have all this,
Switch OFF your tablet.
Now go to Download Mode.
Press and hold the Volume Up button and then press the Power button together till you see the construction Android robot and a triangle.
Press Power again to confirm to enter into Download Mode.
Open ODIN on your computer. Connect your tablet to your computer while your tablet is in the Download Mode.
If your tablet is connected successfully, one of the ID:COM boxes will turn yellow with the COM port number. This step might take some time.
Now select the file that you have extracted
Click on ‘PDA’ and select the file ‘CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifixx-gtp5110.zip‘.
In ODIN, check the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options, if not already.
Now click on the Start button in ODIN. Installation process will start and would take a few minutes to complete.
After the installation is completed, your tablet will reboot into Recovery automatically and install the root package / files. Your ID:COM box will also turn green.
After you see the home screen, unplug your tablet from the computer.
Enjoy root.

Download root package
Deactivate your firewall or Antivirus
Install the software,
Open it.
Next,Enable USB debugging in your P698. Disconnect it from the computer when trying to enable this
Goto “Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging
Then, connect the phone to the PC.
Click on the Root button displayed on the Unlock Root window.
Wait until the process is over and then choose whether to install the battery saver tool.
