It will update yes. When it finishes the first step before you reboot it, flash the root zip in the op

So, if I use the toolkit to root and install twrp and install a rom like cm10 or miui. Will I be able to just install this zip from my sd card and be back to stock and have my phone exactly as it was out of the box. Sorry if this sounds like a noob question, but ive had some bad luck getting back to stock and was incredibly lucky to get a replacement from amazon.

Thats right

hi Billard:

I flashed the stock MA7 but forgot to flash the root file. Is there a way to root it again without losing and data/games and with the phone Status shows NORMAL?

Thanks

Does anyone have a mirror of the MA7? Goo is down again and I have to return to stock for work. Thanks.

Thanks OP. I had no issues downloading and flashing. I am glad to have this phone back to stock for a warranty repair coming up soon. The best part is not losing any of my sdcard or extsdcard files!

:highfive:

Alright guys, I'm stuck. I had a rooted vanilla stock ROM LK8. The keyboard and multiwindow functionality didn't work as well as LJC so I decided to downgrade... or at least decided to attempt to.

I tried just flashing LJC via Odin, but that obviously won't work because of the sboot.bin (ma7 I'm guessing). Ok no problem... I used the toolkit to create a LJC flash WITHOUT sboot.bin. The phone accepted it, but I can't connect to the network (it's a great tablet like this, but I need phone capabilities). I only have the stock recovery (no TWRP or CWM). I tried using this walkthrough, but I'm really unfamiliar with how to go about it.

Here are the tools at my disposal.
SPH-L900 (obviously)
Stock recovery
Odin 3.07V
Galaxy Note II toolkit
root66_SPR_L900VPALJC.tar
COMBINATION_L900VPLJ1_L900VPALJ1_CL265523_HWID04_HW-Rev0406_user_low_ship.tar
SPH-L900_LK8_626403_Stock_Restore.exe
LJC_Stock_With_Count_Reset[FINAL].zip
ma7stock-w-count-reset.zip

I know amidst all this stuff I have, there is a solution here. I've tried repackaging sboot.bin, without it, etc. And yes, I've searched, but I'm still utterly lost. Could someone please help me as soon as possible? I kind of need my phone ASAP (but then again, who doesn't right?). Thanks in advance.

Edit: Ok... umm, riddle me this s*^t batman... it works. I simply tried the LJC flash I created with the latest sboot.bin again and this time it worked. This is the EXACT same flash I used 20 minutes ago and it didn't work then. I have no idea why it worked this time.

In any case, I'm bout to load up TWRP (finally) and get my phone set up and do a backup. Thanks everyone for reading and if anyone is in my situation again, I can explain what I did if necessary.

can you get your phone work again? it should be simply load twrp in your phone and flash it with LJC or MA7 that you have.

Need some help with this here.

I used the top file, did not stay rooted, but, my screens do not look anywhere near what they did out of the box.

None of them look anything like they did, and much of what was there on some of the screens is there now.

Did I use the wrong file?

What is the difference between MA7 and LJC?

Even the Weather and Time on the "main" screen do not look the same, and the Weather location will not update.

I've rooted before, first the Hero, then the Evo 3D, and I rooted this Note II but, it's been acting odd, so I wanted get back to stock before I went into Sprint to have them look at it.

Thanks.

OK. your note 2 is rooted. look like you dont have TWRP on it yet. go to twrp.com and get the TAR file for Sprint note 2. Install it to the phone through ODIN. When you have ODIN up, there should be only TWO options checked: Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. Then click up PDA button and look for the TWRP tar file. Choose that file and click START. It should install the TWRP to your phone. Once it is there, put the MA7_stock-w-Counter-reset in your phone either external or internal. Now, reboot the phone to TWRP recovery and wipe/factory reset first. Then, install the MA7. It will bring you back stock rom. LJC is older 4.1.1. MA7 is newest 4.1.2.

Thank you.

I did, however, figure it out.

The issue was in needing to add the required widgets to the screen that I wanted on there. I was expecting to "see" the phone "look" completely identical screen for screen like it did out of the box after flashing the MA7 file. When it did not, I got confused. After playing around with things, I found that I simply had to add the wanted widgets back where I wanted them.

Thanks for the assist!

Yeah, it's up and going perfectly again. Took a while to figure everything out, but it's all good. Once I got it working again, I followed the OP's instruction for LJC. My Odin flash did indeed work, but I kept getting the chameleon error and the phone would activate after every reboot. I'm going to keep that Odin flash for emergencies, because before I did that, I couldn't write/read to the memory and therefore couldn't load up TWRP recovery (was stuck with stock recovery).

Learned a great deal about all this stuff. Got far deeper than I ever wanted to get into rooting, but I think I have a solid handle on what I want and need. Thanks to the OP for this! It is much appreciated!

Now to figure out how to block the "software upgrade" prompt...
