Yes after flashing stock ROM with odin you will have everything stock including recovery. If it still show modified you needs to factory reset. But remember don't flash any newer build otherwise knox will trip permanently. Also don't flash too old otherwise you will lose IMEI. I recommend mg1.

Steps are

flash mg1 stock ROM with odin (better my prerooted so you don't need to root)

Use triangle away (if you flash non prerooted then root with cf Auto root before using triangle away)

Unroot from supersu

Factory reset

After this you will have normal status

I am on stock rom FND3 but I am rooted with some touch recovery installed, i got message that new update is available oonn phone but phone says I can't update as system is modified.

How do I get the latest rom now?
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
You need to reset your phone back to the unmodified state to get OTA, but if you have tripped Knox, you *might* not be able to get the OTA.

TO unroot if you don't have Knox tripped:

1) Be on stock rom

2) Flash stock recovery/kernel

3) Full unroot from SuperSU menu

4) Factory reset to get back to the normal state for the modified tag.

5) Then try for the OTA.

Or if you want, you can just flash the latest stock rom from Sammobile. I did that. I was on DMG1 and flashed FNE1 over it from Sammobile.
[Galaxy Note II General] singhpratik87:
I know we had this discussion around a month or so ago about buying a new micro usb cable to charge our note II phone since original samsung wire doesn't deliver the full charging current.I was going to order the BCL 4901 by Bandridge but I came across Capdase Micro USB Cable and read great reviews about it so went ahead and ordered it.Got it in mail two days ago and charged my phone 2x since then and been able to charge my phone from 5%-100% in little over 2 hours(phone was turned on and internet was on) compared to samsung usb cable would take around 3.5 hours for the same . It's 1.5 meters long so slightly longer than stock Samsung cable.Let's see how long will this cable be able to deliver full charging current before it starts to wear out.Attaching pics as well.
[Galaxy Note II General] toocool7610:
My warranty is over already.

Can I skip everything and just install new stock rom via sammobile and re root later again?
[Galaxy Note II General] sarkar_007:
Please check with Galaxy Charging Current Lite how much current is being supplied and kindly post it here.
[Galaxy Note II General] singhpratik87:
1800mah for the first 80% then drops to 1600mah until 100% charge (Also galaxy charging current is only an estimate of the current being supplied,the real current might vary every minute but like i said charging my phone from 5-100 takes few mins over 2 hours) Also more importantly let's see how long this cable can continue to charge my phone within 2 hours the longevity matters.

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

How's your Bandridge cable coming along?You last posted about it on june 30th going by your post history.Still giving you constant 1800mah?
[Galaxy Note II General] sarkar_007:
Yes, Bandridge continues to perform well. Constant 1800mA current right till 100%. Current doesnt drop at all. Hope your Capdase cable does well too. Its such a relief to have a good cable and not to have to wait for a long time for the phone to charge.
[Galaxy Note II General] nicholes:
Hi guys!

How do i check my charger current???

is there any app for this or do i have to buy multimeter for this?
[Galaxy Note II General] sarkar_007:
^ Download galaxy charging current lite from Google play store and install it in your phone. Check it while charging.
[Galaxy Note II General] nicholes:
mine is 1800 Ma 0% to 100%:)
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
I had the Bandridge 2m cable, bought in April. Stupid thing went kaput last week. Doesn't give me over 700 on Galaxy Charging Current app and doesn't let the laptop read the phone. I ordered the capdase one listed above, let's see.

[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
I have a very weird issue, need your help.

So what happens is that whenever my phone is around 30% battery, I lose the signal, and my phone doesn't accept a charge. It needs to be rebooted to charge, and get the signal back. Half the times it doesn't turn on after rebooting and it shows a 0% battery level. Then I have to charge with the phone turned off for it to successfully start up.

I had this problem when I has on the MJ5 bootloader and on a AOSP 4.4 ROM. I flashed the latest stock FNE1 with the hopes of it not happening, the issue is still there. Rooted or not, and on any ROM, it happens. What can I do? I don't have warranty so would like to avoid the service center.
[Galaxy Note II General] toocool7610:
This is the strangest issue I have heard about phone.....

That's why I didn't even try stupid custom roms on my note 2 at all after bad experiences on galaxy s
[Galaxy Note II General] vinit.the.one:
Is your bootloader also upgraded to FNE1 or its still MJ5?
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
It is. And it happened before and after upgrading to FNE1.
[Galaxy Note II General] singhpratik87:
Can you flash a custom TW ROM and see if this issue persists.
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
It persisted on the stock FEN1 rooted and custom recovery ROM too, I'll try flashing DN3 on the weeked.

The only thing that has remained common to all roms i've tried is Philz Touch. Can that be an issue?
[Galaxy Note II General] singhpratik87:
I don't know cause the issue you are having is really odd. Perhaps try flashing with TWRP and see if anything changes ( fingers crossed ).
[Galaxy Note II General] rana_kirti:
hey guys, I have used my note 2 for about 2 years now. I m a heavy user and have charged the battery at least 2 times daily in these 2 years.

since last few weeks I've been noticing that with the same usage now the battery lasts a lot less than before.

how many charge cycles capacity does the note 2 battery have ? is it time for me to get a new battery ?!?

thanks :)
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
Battery lasts less? Do explain. You mean deep sleep times or on screen times? Maybe you just have bad wakelocks...

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

Yeah, a guy on XDA had a similar issue with the HOX, I saw it back when I used to have that phone., and I guess changing recovery helped.

Coming to think about it, that's the only persistent thing across so many flashes...

Ran out of ideas man what could possibly causing this seems more like a hardware issue than firmware related unless [MENTION=5697564]KNIGHT97[/MENTION] can help you out .
[Galaxy Note II General] KNIGHT97:
At the most what I can suggest is try changing modem once and flash stock unrooted using odin, and if it doesn't solve repartition with a put file and flash again. If not then make a logcat about this problem when it starts to happen.

Today I observed another thing. Whenever this happens my phone is always hot. Like hotter than what would be normal. Then same drill: No signals, doesn't charge and have to reboot.
[Galaxy Note II General] KNIGHT97:
Did you check the back panel for possibility of any loose parts. And if this happening everytime then this might be rather a hardware issue if the last resort of a pit file not solving it. If the repartition doesn't help then send your device to either service center or authorized repair shop with a Jtag box present.

Sent from my RPG with auto targeting
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
No loose parts, that was the first thing I'd checked. And yes it happens everytime when the battery is around 30%.

What is a pit file & how will it help?

Also I have plans to sell it before Diwali and my warranty is over so I won't be going to the service center.
[Galaxy Note II General] KNIGHT97:
Pit file is a partition information table file, which reallocate each partition when you flash it. But for this it also has to wipe the partitions first, so flashing a stock rom along with the pit file is recommended.

Hi Doc,

I'm on XXUFNE1, unrooted, stock recovery... I read from this forum, that if we flash MJ5 bootloader, we will be able to go back to 4.3 without tripping knox and install custom recovery also, so, is it possible to flash it through odin? and then flash philz and use your custom rom? Please correct me, if I'm wrong, I just wanted to be sure before doing anything without bricking this monster....:confused:

I guess since you're already on FNE1, you cannot flash MJ5.

After 3 years of dedicated usage of our best Note 2, I plan to move for another good one.So when I searched I saw a lot of flagships upcoming in 2015.But almost all of them are without expandable Memory and removable Battery.So I almost fixed to the choice of Note 4 which has both the options although being a bit over costlier.At that time my attention hooked at the news of exhibition of a new phone SAYGUS V^2 in the CES 2015 & MWC 2015.It is having 3 GB RAM,64 GB Internal Memory,2 Memory card slots on 128 GB each,3100 mAh removable battery,21 MP Primary Camera,13 MP secondary camera & Kevlar back cover at a cost of USD 599.00.So being mesmorised by it's specs I readily ordered for it.It will be shipped by the first week of June.So I remain here with my favourite companion Note till that time.
