@chenglu

Hi. We are missing you on xda

Just to inform, when you have made this recovery it was the one and only tool to get our device rooted and you have opened the sky for note 2, again thank you very much for it.

Sadly later note2 have found bug Sds (sudden death syndrome) and it is believed after report from some elite developers on xda, later samsung have patched for bug in kernel and recovery.

So if you update recovery from latest samsung patched kernel it would be grateful. Unfortunately one incidence happened who was on recovery that available on OP. Otherwise he was on latest stock rom which believed to be have patched for SDS.

We are hoping you will look to matter, eagerly waiting for your precious response for it.

Regards.

I have edited the first post to make it clearer that this has not been patched to fix the sudden death issue.

THX:good:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
This one is not sds patched, you should earliest flash sds patched recovery

You can find in android original development section. I have used philz and also having sds patched and touch cwm.

Noticed that the N7100 CWM Recovery & Auto Root is a .tar file - do I need to extract it or just flash the .tar file in Odin?

Hey, is this method working on N7105 LTE Version?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] vinc26730:
Hello guys :)

Tomorrow i will got my note 2, i'm very crazy.... ! :D

I would like to know if is not risk to install root and recovery by your file nammed: N7100 CWM Recovery & Auto Root(tested), "cwm6-root-note2.tar'

If i respect the procces can't bricked my note 2 ?

i have just to execute odin, click in PDA and select the file "cwm6-root-note2.tar'

then reboot my note 2 in download mode (COM: --> yellow) and click to start and wait (COM: --> blue)

need wich version of odin ? no matters ?

Thanks you ! :good:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
There is no risk of bricking, but anything related to flashing never guaranteed.

Anyway only thing is that will raise flash counter and you need to reset it, once triangle away application gets support for note 2, till that you will be out of warranty coverage.

Procedure you have mentioned is correct.

Use odin 3.04 or up

Find it on other thread on original android development section.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Hirudin:
Sweet; worked for me!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] zedomax:
This is the best root method for gnote2. Thx.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] vinc26730:
Yes i know that the device is not warranty after flashing.

Just want to know: if i install CMW can i make a STOCK Back up ? never try on a stock rom...

about the root, it does not slow down the system?! no ?

if i install CMW and Root will keep my applications ?

Thanks :good:

Sorry for my english, i'm french
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Yes you can nandroid backup with CWMR

No, root have nothing to do with system speed

Yes, flashing recovery and root won't erase anything.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] vinc26730:
will try tonight to flash it, galaxy note 2 is in my home but i'm working ahah :(

Anyone have issue with Nandroid backup?

Some user send me pm, they select backup it ends with just 16mb or like this. Basically still I am waiting for my device so cudn't test.

Edit : you should count both backup + blobs folder. So it seems no issue in backup.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Utacka:
Just realized it aswell

Skickat från min GT-N7100 via Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
And what about blob folder?

You should include that too.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] blorro:
Yes. Same here but BLOBS folder contains large amount of data aswell.

Didn't try restore of nandroid backup, no time for it now. Didn't this newer recovery introduce blobs?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Yes that blob is backup file, so I think no issue in backup but this is due to someone have not counted blob files.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Utacka:
Ah right blob seems huge im calculating now will post screen when its done.

Seems fine i think, backup was done right after I rooted.

Any news if this is working for N7105?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
CWM6 introduces incremental backups, so that's why there is the blobs

You can manually switch to old tar format, but no incremental in that case
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Chenglu:
CWM6 add new backup format : dedupe (+speed -size)

Menu "choose backup format" can switch backup format.

Use dup format:

checksum and index file,and boot recovery in "clockworkmod/backups/xx-xx-xx-xx" directory.

backup file in "clockworkmod/backups/blobs" directory.

Use tar format:

all backup file in "clockworkmod/backups/xx-xx-xx-xx" directory.

Is it possible to fix the break OTA problem? Because thats the only thing stopping me atm
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] laloutre:
Hi

On a rooted stock rom is it possible to flash this Cwm with mobile odin and then keep counter at 0 ?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ChodTheWacko:
Chenglu, I assume you are the xiaolu mentioned in the recovery program.

You removed (from the 'backup to external card', at least) the prompt that asks you to confirm if you want to do this.

Could you please not do this - it is nice to have confirmation for any long running or non-recoverable operation.

Now I have to wait for this second backup to finish and I pray I don't run out of external sdcard space.

Thanks.

(and thanks for the root program and all that - much appreciated)

Maybe a silly question but when back ups r done with cwm where do they go. On the note 1 there was a back up file on internal memory. Can't find that on here
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
By default it goes to ext sd card. Clockworkmod folder

That contains backup folder which contains index and blob folder which contains actual data.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Utacka:
nah by default it goes to int sdcard with current modified cwm.

Did you contact CF?

Reset flash counter

I suggest you wait for the triangle away to update.

THIS IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION AND COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

1.root your phone

2.use odin flash My custom kernel.,Open the triangle away app to reset flash counter.

3.Use adb command or Terminal emulator flash stock kernel

or reboot into download mode(odin mode),use pc odin flash stock rom(xxxx.tar.md5).

5.Factory reset or reboot into stock recovery wipe data.

su
cat /sdcard/boot.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

Note:

If the kernel is not stock kernel and the flash count = 0, power on your phone, count = 1.

If the recovery is not stock recovery and the flash count = 0, boot into recovery, count = 1.

Flash stock kernel via pc odin,count = 1.

Flash stock kernel via mobile odin,count = 1.

:( :( :(
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] cd993:
Ok thanks for the reply. I tried to load mobile odin but I need to do so. Is there a way to flash the tar file/root and gain cwm without a pc as I don't have access to one at this time but am really wanting to flash a custom rom!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ettore1972:
my kernel is stock recovery stock and counter equal to 1
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Chenglu:
If you don't have root access mobile odin doesn't work, if you want to get root, can only use the pc odin.

i will probably the first witness
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Chenglu:
Congratulations you success reset flash counter.:D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] afilopou:
Chenglu few questions (stock recovery,counter 1)

1.flash your custom kernel with mobile odin or pc odin (i think mobile odin.correct?)

2.install triangle away and reset the counter

3.in download mode flash with pc odin the stock kernel (where to find the stock xxalj1?)

Edit : this one is the stock .correct?

If you flash stock kernel via odin,the flash count +1.

While rebooting to recovery, release power botton once screen turns ON

Then you will enter to recovery rather thn screen you shown above.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] afilopou:
This has nothing to do with the cwm recovery.Guys here told me that this is bootloader bug.The workaround is to hold vol up+home+power and when you see the splash screen release the power button.

edit: This time Doc was fast :)))
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] chenax:
Yes, but how to eliminate this error because it will be void the warranty.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] afilopou:
Did you read previous posts?It has nothing to do with the custom recovery.I have stock recovery, unrooted and i have the same error.It is bootloader bug, there is no void of warranty!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] chenax:
I understand your point, i also had stock recovery, unrooted. But when you claim your SGN2, they will know you do something with ROM because normally bootloader could not bug by itself. How can be sure this is no void the warranty?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Did you get his point?

He said he is unrooted and on stock recovery, even he having this. It means it is bug of samsung boot loader.

And for their own bug how they can reject claim
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] A.S._id:
I confirm that I have this happen on a stock firmware without root and stock recovery..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] chenax:
It means this is happen on every SGN2 without any modify right? I'm really sorry, i think it's happen because of my flash. Thank all guy for information.

Exactly!!!
