Literally just after the phone was announced and released, developers have cracked into the Samsung Galaxy Note. Like most other rooted the devices, the ClockworkMod will allow for root access, overclocking kernels and more.

Although the developers cracked the Note quickly, it is a Samsung phone, and is not as hard to crack as Motorola and HTC devices. However, like any other root, do this is “do at your own risk”, and follow the directions carefully. We will not be held responsible for your device. If you have never rooted a device before, you should probably hold off until they come out with an easier way to root the Samsung Galaxy Note. But, if you just can’t wait to bypass the security system on the phone allowing you to customize whatever you want and remove bloatware, we completely understand. After all, custom ROM’s are pretty cool.

Therefore, you can check out a step-by-step video on how to root the Samsung Galaxy Note Here.
