Thats the problem then. Ive actually re-uploaded again since then. That version took care of the chameleon fc but i accidently put the wrong count reset script in it. Caught the error early this morning. I used a script i was using during original testing and to make a long story short, when it goes to reset the count its trying to use a file that doesnt exist.
Did this yesterday and showed modified. I did a factory reset in settings menu and it was all good then.
Edit: I didn't check the counter cause I was in a hurry but said normal in status

Sorry, just one more question. I have twrp 2.3.3.1. Do I have to use your twrp? After doing the restore, everytime I use twrp either your version or mine it says "E: Unable to mount '/preload' on any operation be it wipe restore etc. Do you knbow what this is? Everything still works, it just gives that message after any twrp operation now.

Im not sure why but twrp says that for me as well. Like you said everything still works tho. Nothing really needs to access the preload partition while in recovery which is why it doesn't really affect anything. And for the count to reset and restore normal/official status, yes one of my recoveries must be used. Otherwise the count reset will have no effect. Trust me I'm no fan of the extra step myself but Samsung has the partition where the flash count is hidden by default. My recoveries are the only ones that can access it

Yup. Thanks for the confirm. And keep a lookout for a future version without the extra step.. It is being worked on just trying to find time to do it
Uploaded new version of TWRP with no preload mount error and an option to wipe /carrier in the wipe settings. New restore zip without auto carrier wipe uploading soon...

New update?
Maybe you should add a date to your thread title. So we know when you update.

Not so much an update but an additional version that will not automatically wipe carrier. Not a bad idea though. Think Ill just have to do that
Thanks billard412! What is the no carrier version used for just out of curiousity?
since the chameleon fc error was caused by lk8, I imagine there are people who never flashed lk8 and dont need to wipe it. Plus, figure it doesnt need auto wiped if you can do it on demand, which is now possible even in TWRP with my new version..That said, wiping it is recommended regardless in my opinion

So can still use the one who had before the update

So let me see if I got this right...Im rolling back from LK8 to LJC so I do my standards wipes flash modified twrp with carrier wipe reboot twrp then flash the LJC stock counter reset then flash the keep root zip then boot into system and Ill be rooted correct? Now does this include the modem or do I need to flash it? Thanks guys!
Modem is included. And you want to use either the unmarked ljc restore which will wipe carrier automatically or use the nowipe version but be sure to manually wipe carrier yourself in the modified twrp. And when its all done flash the root zip b4 u reboot

227Did this for the Galaxy SIII and figured I would do the same for the Note II as well.
This will take your phone back to UNROOTED stock as well as restore the STOCK RECOVERY, STOCK KERNEL, MC2 RADIO and FIRMWARE. It Will also RESET THE FLASH COUNT to no (0) and restore the official binary and system status as well. If you have updated to MK4 officially and have the MK4 KNOX bootloader with the "knox warranty void" status in download mode, this will REMOVE but NOT RESET it. So this is still perfect for a trip to the sprint store. Does exactly what an odin flash would without needing a PC. And unlike odin this gives you the ability to downgrade flawlessly from ANY firmware version. This is the ONLY way to come back from the dreaded knox upgrade.
NOW FOR THE INSTALL:
NOTE THAT FOR THIS TO BE POSSIBLE THIS MUST RUN COMMANDS THAT MOST ROM FLASHES DO NOT USE.
DUE TO THIS, USING GOO MANAGER AND ROM MANAGER TO INITIATE THE FLASH CAN CAUSE ISSUES. PLEASE MANUALLY BOOT TO RECOVERY AND START THE FLASH THERE.
As with most roms wipe data/factory reset prior to flashing!
I have always been a fan of clockworkmod recovery myself, but if using this I must recommend TWRP. On rare occurances, clockworkmod recovery has corrupted the cache partition when flashing this, causing issues with the second part of this restore. So use cwm at your own risk.
When finished you hit reboot as you would at the end of any rom flash but before the phone boots into the system it will automatically boot into my "special" version of TWRP and finish the process.(Which takes about 10 seconds).
When this is done you will be completely unrooted and back to square one with the exception of the internal sd card. (It will NOT be touched) So if you want to remain rooted then flash THIS (or click the little su guy below) after the restore zip before you reboot.
As far as I know there is only a 16gb version of the Note II for Sprint. If I'm wrong on that please correct me and note that this is ONLY TO BE USED ON A 16GB SPH-L900. This will most likely brick any other phone. And as always, FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK. As I am not responsible if this makes your phone melt. This flashes important partitions so verifying the md5 is recommended. Think that about covers it.

Attached below is a flashable version of garwynn and EViL-KoNCEPTz chameleon fc/carrier fix and my special version of TWRP 2.4.2.0 with a /carrier wipe option for those who may need it. They are NOT required if using this restore.

I was able to activate and update prl n profile but was still getting the chameleon force close if /carrier wasn't wiped before the flash. Seeing as how twrp doesn't have that option and most people prefer it over cwm, I am currently uploading a new version which will wipe the carrier partition too. With carrier wiped, coming back from lk8 was flawless1412

Just take the Ota to 4.4. Then use Odin to flash your recovery of choice. In the recovery flash chainfires super su installer zip from the link above. Then flash the de-knox zip for 4.3. It's attached below if you don't have it. These are the steps I took and they worked great for me
