There is option in mobile odin for open file and if you target your recovery from there, it will automatically detect the recovery

And if i use PC Odin, how do i go about it?

select CWM in PDA, then? And what settings need to be checked?

Also do i take the CWm recovery from THIS link?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
NO NO NO

It is not patched for sds.

Just read my rooting guide (post #2 of N7100 all in one thread of my signature)

And root with option 2,that will basically flash cwm (philz)

You need not to flash root file.

Or

Just download tar file from philz recovery thread

Copy to sd card

Open mobile odin

Select recovery tab

Point to tar file you copied

Flash

(need not to select ever root option)

[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
Okay okay. I won't. I had read the mod edit on that post. Was just checking.

I am on your prerooted ROM. It has Super Su, but no recovery. Since I wanted to try Alliance ROM I need a recovery. Hence I asked.

The instructions you posted above for Philz recovery, how do they adapt for PC odin?

Also Philz CWM or TWRP?

Sent from my Note II
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Simply flash philz recovery tar file for pda tab in pc odin. (same way you flashing stock rom)

Philz recovery is cwm with touch UI

One this is there, sometimes it happens when flashing with pc odin that on reboot system rom overwrite cwm with stock. That's why I recommend mobile odin.

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Well there is not a single thing for which I can say that you should go for Samsung over Dell. And especially when you want durability. Opinion might differ, so it's wholly my opinion. I hate Samsung, when it comes to anything other than cell phone, so my op is based on that.
[Galaxy Note II General] eyan2011:
Finally I got a negative comment about Samsung laptops I need more honest opinions like this. I was searching the Web and I found few and like very few bad things about Samsung the annoying thing was those search results where posted like 2 or 5 years ago which changes a lot but it wasn't the same for dell almost everyone complained about how the newer models lack in durability or how bad is the customers services. But I'm curious to know why do you dislike other Samsung products.

[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
Just my opinion, but I think that Dell Laptops have a really bad build issue. I currently use an Inspiron, and the thin plasticky outer portions had started showing cracks within an year. Right now after two years the cracks around the hinges have grown huge, and I will have to get the whole body replaced if possible. I have used a Toshiba and a Sony before and never had this kind of a problem with them, neither with the Acer my mum uses which is also two years old.

Never used Samsung though. And maybe other models with different builds than the inspiron series from dell might have a stronger built.

Also, are we running out of topics to talk about the N7100? I wish Note 3 would get here sooner :D

I am using a Dell Studio 1555 model with Win7 64-bit for 4.5 years. Very happy with it. No major issues. HDD and power adopter replaced once under warranty. But use it extensively and working very well. Used DVD burner a lot too and it's not working since few months. But the build quality is very good, no physical defects at all. Got a Vostro for my BIL recently, the quality and finish is even better.

My dad uses a Samsung laptop since last 2-3 years and this is fine too. But his usage is limited to browsing and sometimes mails.

If you want a very rigid one for everyday use, take a Dell, Vostro models are good. If for occasional use, Samsung is also good.

Guys, just got my Note 2 yesterday, N7100. Have not checked build number yet but downloaded Toolkit 4.1.

Thinking of only rooting first as this is a must to backup apps.

In the rooting menu, should I choose option 3? I think this will also install recovery and I can choose TWRP, right?

Another thing, it is recommended to remove Kies. If I do this will it also remove the drivers for my old Galaxy SL i9003?

Can I have drivers for my old phone as well as Note 2 in my laptop?

I hope the toolkit works on Win 7 64 bit.

I am thinking of only rooting and using Stock ROM for a while to see the features and battery life. Should I use rooted and deodexed stock ROM or

just directly root, am bit confused on the path to take.

What is this flash counter thing? Never read of this issue on my Galaxy SL i9003 forum.

Can I use TiB to restore my user apps and data like games to Note2, will the higher resolution be a problem? Do I need to download the apps again?

Is stock ROM better than custom ROMs? Which is a good custom ROM with battery life?

I have posted on this thread and got a reply too. But still some questions :

1. Should I use deodexed stock ROM (I want %battery)? Is there one for India?

2. Thinking of installing latest Kies to get Note 2 drivers (and also to keep my old phone drivers) and rooting through Toolkit with ALLINONE option to also get TWRP, is this okay?

3. On my current i9003, I backup all user apps with TiB everyday. So I can just use that folder to restore the user apps (with their data) on N7100, right?

Hey, I'm having a strange problem. I'm unable to update via OTA or Kies for some reason.I bought this Note 2 off a friend's friend so I can't *really* be sure what went on with this. It's under warranty still though.

I'm not able to update it via the in built software updater because it says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available". Here's what I tried:

1. Factory reset: Made no difference

2. There's no SD card so it can't be anything to do with the SD card (as reported in some other similar threads)

3. Flash counter is ZERO

4. Phone is unrooted.

Is there any fix for this? I just want the phone to update normally via Kies/OTA and not say that the status is 'Modified'. Because if any warranty situation arises, Samsung will refuse because the status of the device is modified.
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
See settings=> about=> status if it's modified then u need to flash the stock fw again..

If it's normal then also radio or csc may be modified.

Try flashing stock radio, csc bootloader via odin if it's normal, if it says modified then flash the whole firmware through odin.

Also your recovery should be stock
[Galaxy Note II General] cyanide911:
It says modified. So I guess I'll have to flash the whole firmware through odin.

How do I check if my recovery is stock? And after flashing firmware through Odin, will I have to reset my counter?

All kernels take improvements from the other, so you might get many features across all kernels. Go to stweaks, and under screen, check enable master sequence and register hook to get brilliant color calibration. Also recommend enabling digital edge enhancements.

You can also go to audio settings and increase headphone and speaker amplification values.

how can i track the mobile? the thief have already removed the sim card..i have called and its saying "the number is either switched of or not reachable"..the only way is-if the thief inserts a new Sim card then the the new number will be forwarded to my fathers number..but im not sure about that too..as i have hard reset the phone few days ago..so mobile tracking is only activated through zoner antivirus and not through samsung software..

do you know any other way around? i have already filed a GD and contacted airtel to stop my number..

The police in this country doesn't help, they must have made him go through a much worse experience. I remember going to the police a couple of years ago with a friend to launch an FIR for her stolen phone while I was in college...the guy in charge instead started questioning her rudely, and giving stupid advice like 'why did you buy such a costly phone' & 'why do you waste your parents money like this' . He was so obnoxious that I was really shocked, he kept muttering how now we have increased his workload and hinting that she was not intelligent enough to keep her cellphone safe and clearly had no idea of how to respectfully talk to women, and finally all he did was file a GD with the phone reported as 'missing' not stolen. But that is delhi police for you, the best police force in india in the capital of our country, but I dont know, maybe the police in your city would have been a tad more

helpful.

I am really sorry for your phone, and I really hope you find it. Keep checking the antivirus tracking site. And I am not sure, but if you had ever registered for samsung find my mobile services, they would have been activated once you restored your samsung account after the hard reset, you should definitely check it on the website.

I am sure he did not keep the phone by the window with the intention of helping people steal it :( And he would have asked this same question to himself a 100 times since the morning. The fact is all of us sometimes have made stupid mistakes regarding our phone sets, whether it's dropping them and getting the screen cracked, getting them scratched, or losing them etc. In hindsight we can all give him advice, but the fact is that he has run into a bit of bad luck, thats all, and this thing could have happened to any of us.
