It have but it is a bit more difficult to remove. So the only way would be as you say look at the box

Thank you for this tutorial, mate! I got my Note 2 back to stock ROM after a series of flashing... :)

    Hi to all. This is a very simple guide to revert back to the Stock rom that came with your phone.
    Odin is not needed, also no special skills needed. All you need is a PC with Samsung Kies installed.
    Kies is best to be updated to latest version. latest one is 08-01-2013

    So, let's start. If you were rooted and the custom binary counter has increased, please use TriangleAway prior to this guide.


    1-) Open up Kies with phone disconnected, but keep it powered up cause you will need it for the serial number.

    2-)Navigate here (tools) (picture 1) and select the 3d option (software upgarade and preparation). you will get this Enter GT-N7100 press confirm.

    3-) enter your phones serial number(picture 3) wich you can find either under the battery or by navigating to yout phone Settings- About device- Status- Serial
    Number. Press confirm. after pressing confirm you will be presented with a dialog which lets you know that the device will be wiped. Press Confirm again.
    4-) you will now be presented with the version (picture4, it is for my phone. you will have maybe other) that is the latest for your phone and your serial number. press confirm and wait for the first download (picture5). wait till it finishes.

    5-)in the next screen (picture 6) read and select Agree. put your phone in download mode by pressing volume down+ home button+ power on. do not release the buttons till the phone is in the screen that tells about warning. press volume up.
    connect phone to PC and press down at Start Update button.
    this will take a while to download cause the update is about 1GB.
    wait till it finishes and phone boot up.
    Set up as usual.

    Hope it helps.

    I m on stock 4.3 With KnoX tripped...
    With this kies method can i downgrade to 4.1.2?

    no, this will install latest firmware available, wich is android 4.3


    im on a phone without knox. if i update through KIES will i get KNOX installed?

    yes


    Can this method work with custom recovery too? Im rooted, 4.3 ml3, philz recovery and stock rom

    can work, but will install 4.3 with knox


    I'm now on android 4.3 ( custom rooted rom ) ... and even after using triangle away .. it gives binary counter 1
    do you think after following your steps I will go to stock official rom 4.3 and with counter 0 ??
    Thanks in advance

    no
    try use triangle away, after that reboot directly in download mode and flash firmware with odin.

    note more than 5min once it finish downloading and start flashing, otherwise
    you may got bootloop. In that case
    Reboot to recovery (vol up+home +power)
    and wipe cache and data (factory reset)
    PS:This will erase all your data.

    It will work coming from any rom. Just backup, backup, backup your personal data. It will wipe internal sd.

    Wow, thanks!
    I hust have a question about this, for example, if i ever want to rollback to carrier stock ROM, i should follow the steps above? If we do this, are we going to enable OTA carrier updates as long as we don't root the phone, right?

    Thanks!

    you are correct. in both questions:laugh:
