I downloaded N7100XXDMB2_N7100OXADMA5_N7100XXDLK7_FACTORY_XEF.rar unzipped, flashed and now I have the dreaded triangle "Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue on ..." error. Before that the phone wasn't booting, it was stuck on splash screen after kid was playing games on it. Tried KIES, ODIN stock, nothing worked except TWRP installed successfully.

Most links at OP are dead, I am more familiar with an i717, GT-N7100 is a new device to me. So I need help to locate a working rom - stock or custom - as long as it gets the phone back up.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
Firmware in OP is ancient and not recommended to even get in touch with your device. First you got to get known your current bootloader version with samsung info app from play store, then will see what further steps should be taken to rescue your phone.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jayinc11:
Appreciate your response. Phone doesn't boot to desktop. It won't go past the "Firmware upgrade encountered an error..." screen. Is there another way to skin this cat?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Try flashing latest stock firmware.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
That's what I thought -> you have KK bootloader already so you are wrong here - even with OP link working you couldn't flash successfully as downgrade from KK knoxed bootloader is impossible. Reflash stock KK firmware and you should be fine again :fingers-crossed:

2.Can I flash odex version on the top of my stock odex rom without wipe data?

3.As you said before there's the gallery bug in deodex LJ1 rom. How about odex LJ1 rom? Does it have the bug?

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] duongnt:
I have some additional questions. You mention that I should download Samsung driver, I cannot find one for Note 2 so downloaded Kies. It can detect my phone just fine.

So my questions are:

1. Do I need to uninstall Kies? If I do, where can I find Samsung driver?

2. My note 2 is vodafone UK so it has a Vodafone firmware, will it be ok if I root it? In case of warranty, how can I put it back to Vodafone rom?

3. I should root using the odex version to avoid Gallery force close? Is there any bug/issue with the rooted odex UK version?

Thank you,

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Narhim:
Hi a few questions from a new Samsung user.

Basically the STEP by STEP Root is like on the first post..? Just that I understand how that works:

When I´ll flash the "N7100XXALJ1_N7100OXXALJ1_N7100XXALIH_XEF" via Odin, which is good for me as I come from Switzerland, then I will be flashing the STOCK ROM (basically an update - I can use multi-screen support etc.) with Root already integrated? So the system won´t recognize it as something foreign and the flash counter won´t start counting - which usually voids the warranty..?

Then to get CWM, I need to go via "Mobile Odin Pro" because why? Can anyone explain it to me how it works? :confused:

I am a former HTC user and flashing my Desire Z and MyTouch 4g Side was a bit different (have to get S-Off and there was no TRIANGLE OF FEAR).

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: are there any requirements to update the ROM? Do I have to have USB debugging enabled?

The phone has to be factory unlocked (as the international version is) and rooted already, or will the update via ODIN be possible w/o pre-root?

If I need to pre-root, can anyone forward me to the right place?

Does the rooting starts the flash counter or the adding of CWM?

Which file of CWM shall I download from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901196?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jbounours:
Thanks for this!

I flashed the odex pre rooted XEF and debloated my precious :p
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] stesteste:
Which is best odex or deodox
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] saldawop:
Why do we need to use Mobile Odin to add CWM Recovery?

Is it possible to use the PC version? Without raising Counter?

Edit: Purchased Mobile Odin.

Followed instructions in Post #1 .Flash Counter shows 1 :(

Don't really matter I guess (hope) , I'm sure Triangle Away will be updated before I need it...fingers crossed.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] stesteste:
Thats interesting what happened because I am about to di it

I didnt use it, I used Mobile Odin.I wanted to root it now and was too impatient to wait for the answer to my question :)

Well, I posted a bunch of questions few posts ago, which answered should explain everything.. Noone answered yet ^^

Can anyone point us to the RIGHT CWM file?

On http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901196 there are 5 different files (8 different links) so that is a bit confusing if you don´t know WHAT EXACTLY you are searching for and which parameters are the one that won´t start the counter...

I suppose its "cwm6-recovery-n7100(tar)" https://dl.dropbox.com/s/sv1by6sp0ahr99o/cwm6-recovery-n7100(tar).tar?dl=1 but honestly that is just a guess. Until I don´t know at least that, I am not flashing :P

however, it is strange..
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Narhim:
Thanks a lot.

I´d like to ask you - the first flash is via Odin (PC) just over the Stock with the Already-rooted update..?

Then comes CWM via Odin (Android) to trick the counter..?

I hope that is going to work good :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] stesteste:
flashed firmware via pc odin no counter raised

then went mobile odin flashed cwm ,counter now raised 1 very strange or wrong cwm posted
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Mobile odin shouldn't raise counter, it shouldn't matter of wrong cwm, but something related to mobile odin, there is someone also reported it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] afilopou:
It has nothing to do with wrong or correct cwm file.As already posted my counter raised after doing the below

1 flash prerooted stock (counter 0)

2 installed mobile odin

3 flash through mobile odin the stock unrooted and counter raised

Never flashed cwm recovery

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Narhim:
Are there any differences between the flashed roms? I mean what rom did the people flashed whose counter increased vs the people where this did not happen? Could it be related to a certain country? Or flashing a rom from different country? Just guessing...

This ROM do not increase custom binary counter, via movile and pc odin...

Might be related to anything...

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] stesteste:
I flashed uk deodex rom stock on french phone
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] afilopou:
What raised my counter:

1.Flashed the odexed LJ1 from here with pc odin (fine, counter 0)

2.Tested mobile odin pro with flashing stock unrooted LJ1(from sammobile).After boot had various problems (ext sdcard not mounted, mobile odin pro application looked as not exist (green android instead of mobile odin icon) but i can not uninstall it) This step increased my binary counter

Didnt try to flash with mobile odin the prerooted stock LJ1 from here. I am not an expert but it is obvious that mobile odin has something wrong (we must wait CF) and users must avoid using it at the moment.:)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] bodivas:
have you tried to flash only CwmRecovery with MobilOdin? What happens in this case?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] afilopou:
No sir.Didnt try that.

Well sources are out, so lets hope to have a compatible triangle away soon
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Narhim:
did you updated the superuser binaries? ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] afilopou:
Is that a question for me ? :)

If yes, do you mean if i update superuser binaries inside the supersu appl before flashing wih mobile odin? If so, yes i did it
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Narhim:
is there a possibility to use superuser instead of supersu? I bought superuser elite and am very happy with that...

Anyone knows? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ardeban:
Yes.

On SuperSu, go to options, at the bottom there's an option called "switch to another app" or something like that, that will remove supersu.

Then install superuser, go to options and update it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
I think better first install super user then use super su to switch over.
