stock rom?

Hello,
there is a need to install "stock rom" before rooting? or can I directly use odin with the cmw6-root_note2.tar?
thanks
:confused:

I suppose heimdall can be used to flash cwm+root instead of odin as well?

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

I can't get odin to recognize my note 2.
If i have phone started normally, windows 7 (and odin) both see the phone just fine. I can copy files onto it via usb.

But in download mode, odin doesn't see it at all.
ANy idea what's wrong?

Noob question sorry, but have you press volume up to continue and then you will enter finally to download mode, if you still didn't select volume up till it can't recognize.

Yes, I did that. I rooted my N7000 just fine, so I'm not particularly nooby.
The phone's saying, 'Downloading....' but ODIN doesn't see it in the com: box.

Which there were some actual errors so I could see what's going on.

    Who are on 4.1.1 firmware, are requested to update their device to latest 4.1.2 (2013 released) as soon as possible, older ROMs have SDS (sudden death syndrome) bug and can brick device spontaneously. latest ROMs are believed to be patched for this bug with kernel and recovery.

    ROM mentioned here are pure stock ROMs and it is same as you recieve from kies, as well flashing these ROMs doesn't raise flash counter. some of ROM also having prerooted version and those are same as stock ROM but root files are pushed in ROM, so you won't need to have root it. prerooted ROMs mentioned here are also won't raise flash counter. If you flash prerooted ROM and later want to unroot, simply open SuperSu from application drawer - setting - unroot

    Here is guide how to find stock ROM from SamMobile
    - Open This SamMobile firmware page.


    - Type device Model number in search box
    gp4n.png



    - This will find all latest ROM for that device, click on Kies symbol next you your desired ROM to get download link.

    How to Root/Unroot SGN2 (N7100)

    To ROOT 4.3 Read THIS

    This post is for Rooting 4.1.* only.

    If you are going to Root your device, after successful rooting first thing to do is make EFS backup(link to tool for EFS backup included in guide).
    Dear friends
    I can give you simple two steps to root a device, but i won't. I wish you should have all the knowledge about different methods of rooting and pros and cons of each methods available. This may cause this guide longer, bit difficult but ultimately it will never turn down. read again 2-3 times and still you have any confusion, feel free to post any query you are having. Good luck and Happy Rooting !

    Now proceed to root

    Map for this post
    A.How to root N7100
    Advantages and disadvantages of each method of root.
    Method 1:Root with stock Recovery
    Method 2: Root with CWM recovery Update 15.09.13 - New Tool available here - Though I recommend to read this post for knowledge base.
    Method 3 : Root with simple APK
    B.EFS Backup
    C.Unroot N7100

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A.How to Root N7100
    Big Thanx to Chainfire and Chenglu for great work.

    Select your choice from one of these
    1. Root with Stock Recovery - It will give full root access but have stock recovery. You can set your flash counter '0' and so ready to claim warranty.If you want device full stock + root this is choice for you.
    2. Root + Advanced CWM - This will give Root access as well advanced CWM - Here you can reset counter, but once reboot to recovery, it will raise flash counter, Find option to reset counter on every boot (only play store version).
    3.Root with ExynosAbuse apk - simply install apk to gain root access. (wont work on latest 4.1.2 ROM, Jan 2013/LL7 and later)

    So which one I should select? OR Which one is better?
    All Methods are given by elite developer and all are good, but having its cons and pros. e.g.
    Method 1:
    Disadvantage : Here you will get full root access, but here recovery will remain stock, so you won't have option to flash zip files (still you can flash zip with Mobile Odin), but you won't have any option for Nandroid backup/Restore.
    Advantage : You have to reset flash counter once only, then whenever you need to reset to unroot/ready to claim warranty, just you need to go to superSU - setting - unroot.
    So If you are Flash counter conscious and really don't have need for nandroid backup, This one is for You.
    Method 2:
    Disadvantage : Note2 having auto check sum boot loader and it will check for custom things on every boot. So rooting with this method your counter will remain 1, even if you have reset it with triangle away. Though one possibility is there to reset counter, you have to use market version of Triangle Away with option 'Reset counter on every boot'. But keep in mind this option only available if your kernel support this, stock kernel won't support it. Again before claiming warranty you need to flash stock recovery.
    Advantage : You will have feature rich recovery like flashing zip from recovery and Nandroid backup/Restore.
    So If you are not much worrying about flash counter or warranty and you really need Nandroid backup, This one is for you.
    Method 3: - (wont work on latest 4.1.2 ROM, Jan 2013/LL7 and later)
    Advantage :Biggest thing you can disable exploit and make device safer. Easiest, No PC Needed. Simply install apk to root device, No flashing/Resetting counter needed.
    Disadvantage :Camera issue on some FW, but reversible by enabling exploit in one click
    1.Root with Stock Recovery - CF auto Root from Chainfire - can keep counter '0'

    attachment.php


    Note :
    normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
    If it reboots into android and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery)
    when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm
    IF YOU STILL HAVE ISSUE IN FLASHING CWM (Stock recovery overwrites CWM) - First root with option 1 and then follow THIS

    Step 2 :
    Now reboot to recovery and flash superSu and busy box file from recovery, which you have copied to Sd card and reboot system
    Done ! you should have SuperSU application in drawer. Read post#3 regarding how to reset counter.

    attachment.php


    Restart device and wait for 10 min. and then you can check status.

    Reseting Counter
    Above method will raise flash counter and you will need to reset counter to reclaim warranty, Read next post for it (post#3)


    B.ESF Backup - First thing i do recommend after rooting.
    EFS Backup Also read This

    Why so?
    EFS folder contains some important and some basic info related to our device identity like Wi-Fi address, Bluetooth MAC address and the very main IMEI address (nv_data.bin).
    Now if this EFS partition accidently corrupted then your phone’s IMEI no. will erased and you can not make voice call further. This kind of damage is often not accepted by the service center of your respected handset’s company.
    Here your backup can only be savior for you.

    C.How to Unroot :

    - This is commonly needed before sending it to service station and reclaim warranty.
    1.As discussed in post #3 if you have any custom recovery/Kernel first you need to replace it with stock one. Post #6 of this thread having stock recovery/Kernel.If you have custom ROM, then you will have to flash stock ROM.(you can use mobie odin to keep root intact to reset counter)
    2.You need to use Triangle away if your binnary count is non zero (read post #3)
    3.Once your flash counter is 'No' then you can simply unroot from superSU setting
    if your device status is -Modified, you can do this trick to reset to normal
    setting - appl manager - All - clear data for SysScope as well Enterprise SysScope
    This should change system setting to Normal
    If still you have modified status, you can wipe cache and data from recovery.
    If still it doesn't change status, try removing Ext SD card
    4. This is optional but full proof method to unroot and won't leave any footprint of previous root.(provided you flash counter is 'No')
    -Flash Stock ROM with PC Odin
    -Wipe cache and data.

    Reset Flash counter

    There is great tool from elite developer Chainfire known as Triangle Away

    From CF -
    When you run TriangleAway, if your device and firmware are supported, it will show you the detected state of the binary (custom or official) and flash counter value, and the option to Reset flash counter. Please confirm that the information shown is correct before resetting the values.

    On a number of devices, TriangleAway can work, but your firmware may not be supported directly. In that case, the app will tell you it needs to reboot into a special boot mode, which will be happen if you select Reset flash counter. The device will reboot into a special mode which will allow you to review the current status and reset the binary and flash counter values (or abort and do nothing.)
    using Triangle Away may unmount your SD card. Reboot or manually remount it from Android settings.

    Steps to reset counter
    -Download Triangle away and install
    -Open Triangle away from appl drawer, grant SU permission
    -Depends on your recovery/kernel, it may ask to download add on about 7.4MB file, dwnload it.
    -After downloading select reset counter from application menu
    -This will reboot device in special recovery, and you will see some colored text menu with big yellow, with round circle exclamation mark.
    -Read available option, confirm your flash counter showing on this page and select appropriate menu(vol up) to reset counter.
    -Your device will reboot and you will have counter '0'
    In case if you are using CWM it may raise again on reboot, read below.



    NoteII having new bootloader with auto checksum of recovery, so If you are using custom recovery flash counter may raise again on rebooting to recovery
    So if you are using stock recovery, reseting count to '0' with triangle away is enough. In case you are using custom recovery, even after reseting counter again it will raise to 1 if you reboot device to recovery. For this you have to use option 'Reset at every boot' in triangle away. This option is available on Play version, and only you can see if you have custpm recovery and your kernel support it. (Adam kernel reported to support this.)

    Common question about reseting counter

    I have reset counter but system status still 'custom'
    You should have stock recovery (Method A in post#2)
    If you already have stock recovery(CF Auto root) then reset counter first
    then wipe cache + wipe data(factory reset) + re wipe cache
    You should now have system status 'official'

    Edit : Here is some trick to change status without wiping data
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2124758

    I have rest counter but after reboot again it goes to 1
    This happen if you have rooted with CWM/TWRP recovery(method 2 in post#2)
    This is neither error of recovery nor triangle away. This happens due to new bootloader which have auto checksum for recovery, when you reboot to custom recovery count will raise.
    To prevent this you need to have play version of Triangle away, and you should check (enable) 'Auto reset at boot'. Again this feature depends on kernel/recovery is supported or not, Adam kernel reported to support this.
