Have you tried with unticked re-partition?
NicsThere is great tool from elite developer Chainfire known as Triangle Away
Source and full thread by Chainfire
Get Triangle Away to support CF
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

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.
time to pay the doc a visit
so i waited for the prices to come down and went for my Note 2, definitely better than Note 1 I like the recovery to be independent of kernel
trying to catch up with this forum now......
not new to flashing with pc odin ...but a few days ago wanted to flash stock through pc odin ...it went as far as added ! and on to nand write ....but it ended up here - failed with red tab !!
pc odin is connecting but flash is not successful...why ? i had used pc odin to flash CF auto-root tar...was successful
does the raised counter and custom state showing in download mode adversely affect stock flash ? does modification in efs also have an affect...though i wouldnt have thought so. do i need to have stock kernel and stock recovery to have a successful pc odin flash ?
i managed to flash with mobile odin and got what i wanted but i would really like to have pc odin stock flash working.
thank you for all your guides

1.Root with Stock Recovery - CF auto Root from Chainfire - can keep counter '0'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
IF YOU STILL HAVE ISSUE IN FLASHING CWM (Stock recovery overwrites CWM) - First root with option 1 and then follow THISNote :
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
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.
