No It doesn't wipe data, if you got rooted stock It should be fine. Never the less a backup and a wipe is recommended.

1- Yes
2- you can flash any recovery you wish, but of course it will trigger the binary count if you wish to remove the binary count you must flash this package from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588557 and then run triangle away.

I'm a bit lost in all those firmware versions

I'm trying to update my girlfriend's note2 to 4.3

Here is her phone's info :

Baseband : N7100XXDME4
Version number : JZ054.N7100XXDME6
CSC : N7100XADME2

No recovery installed, and counter still at 0

Can I flash your version safely from her version ?

I will give a try, but my priority is to make it prerooted like a did before but on 4.3 the root gets disabled at first boot, so far.
Now that you are on 4.3 you can install a 4.3 deodexed rom via custom recovery or mobile odin, there is 2 such rooms in the development treads.

Everything went ok with the upgrading, except that Triangle Away not seem to work anymore?
I have run version 3.10 + unfreezed the sysscope file in Titanium B, but I'm still "custom".
Maybe it doesn't work when I have used the Kingo root? Do you have any advice..?
Regards

I heard many comments about Mobile Odin not working with 4.3
Has anyone successfuly flashed this?

I have Mobile Odin Pro and 4.1.2
My phone is rooted but with a stock Samsung ROM.

Wondering if 4.1.2>4.3 will go smoothly with Mobile Odin and this ROM, keeping root. Anyone?

Did it all, in the exact order. Still custom. What gives?
With 4.1.2 it worked fine, but I used CF autoroot then.
Thanx for trying to help.
