if the internet news are right I can get a n2 on thursday in germany.
this is fantastic and very fast news here. many many thanks, I will test this when I have my device.
my girlfriend wants my note so I must buy a note2 :laugh:
Will get my note2 on monday or tuesday from amazon germany, no device in shops right now.
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.

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.
