In not certain as I've no motivation to try it. I've already gone to a bit of effort to remove bloatware and do some other mods to my phone (system status still normal yay) and I don't want to risk having to start from scratch again if flashing a custom kernel can be detected by the Samsung spyware.

Perhaps you could help by booting into download mode and checking the flash counter and binary status since you already flashed it?

Binary shows 1 ?

what is Binary by the way ?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Main advantages of Mobile odin is, you can flash without access of PC

As well you can keep root intact while updating ROM.

Whenever you stuck at boot logo or in case of bootloop, furter action is depend on cause of this. sometimes flashing ROM cause bootloop that usually clear with wipe cache and data from recovery. but certain times flashing some CWM you may get it and that may needs to flash ROM and you need to use PC odin.

you can flash flashable zip/Custom ROM with mobile odin too. There is no much advantages of using Mobile odin to flash custom ROM as presence of custom stuff itself raise counter. but if you jest need to flash some mode and you don't want to have CWM recovery(as it will raise counter) at that time best way is flash such mode (available in flashable zip) with mobile odin without raising counter.

Main advantage of CWM is Nandroid backup, which is not possible with Mobile odin

Yes flashing custom kernel/recovery will voids warranty b'coz even after using triangle your flash counter (Flash Binary) will raise to 1.

Still there is way to reset counter at every boot, but you need to use play store version of triangle away for that option, as well your custom kernel also should have support this function.

Help with root

Hi dr. Ketan, I would be appreciated if you could help me in rooting my N7100. I tried method 2 (flashing Philz recovery through Odin) according to your guide in thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1896696. When the phone reboots it loads the android system, it does not reboot into recovery. As the instructions in post #2 say in that topic, I unticked the auto reboot option in Odin, and kept the power button pushed (as the instructions said for the case if the phone reboots into android), but with the same results: reboot into android. (later I tried to reboot into recovery by pressing the 3 keys, but it was the stock recovery) So I could not get the possibility to answer "yes - disable flash recovery". I have the recent update (4.1.2. XXDMB2), so the ExynosAbuse root would not work for me, however, I would like to install custom ROMs and mods, so I do not want method 1 (with the stock recovery). Samsung drivers are installed, I tried 3 different versions of Odin (including 3.04 and 3.07), they always found the device, and indicated successful flashing (flash counter was increased as well). I tried to google but did not find an answer, and I cant post in the other topic (I do not have 10 posts yet).

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

HI Dr. Ketan could you please tell me if there is any possible way to remove a Zip that i flashed , I've not taken a backup ?

i suspect that i need to restore STOCK Rom from the list that you've i'd Flashed the Kernel to Red Pill ,

It was working fine, I thought of trying to use Fanken Beats an that has spoiled my Audio .

Now can u tell me what are the steps i need to follow

can u tell me is there a limit for Flash count ?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:

There is no limit of flash counter, and either it is 1 or 100 it just voids warranty.

flashed CWM custom recovery it doesn't work

Hi,

Im just new to the Android world and currently would like to try to root and install custom rom. Currently i have a note 2 GT-N7100, I rooted my phone using Odin and it was successful because I already have a SuperSU and was able to install Titanium back-up. Then I installed ROM manager(from google store) and flash a CWM custom recovery (3.0x+) and it promopted successful but after rebooting I tried to open the app again and use the boot in recovery mode option but it would always go to stock recovery. I tried doing the volume up+home+power but it will still route me to stock recovery. Kindly advice what should I do
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Flash philz recovery

Let me know still you have issue after that.
[Galaxy Note II General] freakboy13:
First go to play store DL goo manager

Amd install twrp .

All I gotta say is fuhg rom manager.

Cwm is great RM not so much.

Twrp ftw!!

I am pretty sure you can install over

r.managr .

Probably not necessary but when recovery is borked, or somethings not right, I always use the emergency firmware thing from samsung.

Start over, root install goo mang.

And go rom crazy.

Just make sure you read and check ypur model is compatable!!

Luv my n2!!

Edit. Just realised this is the international...lol oops.

Probably works just the same.

I've bought a second hand note 2 (UK GSM unlocked, GT-N7100) that needs a warranty fix and there has been 1 flash. It is on stock recovery and kernel and ROM without root.

Would the process be to 1. Root 2. Install triangle away and reset 3. Perform a factory reset?

The other 2 fields in recovery mode are fine (Samsung official and normal).

Edit, did exactly as above and everything worked fine.

I failed...

I must be missing a step. I have flashed with Odin3 v1.85, and Odin3 v 3.07 and my flash counter hasn’t been reset… AND, I have tried both the recovery and LL7 recovery tar’s provided.

Following the steps outlined below, I haven’t seen the option for step 5: (- Reset counter with Triangle away), am I missing something?

-If you have rooted with CWM recovery

- Your device will have CWM recovery with root access.

- Download this stock recovery OR This latest stock recovery from LL7 which believe to be patched by samsung.

- Flash with PC Odin for PDA tab.

- Reset counter with Triangle away

- Now your counter will be '0' and you will have now stock recovery but root access will be intact

- You will have binary count '0' but system status still will be 'custom'…

Thanks ALL

This is for N7100. Is your phone model N7100?

Once you have a rooted device, you need to install Triangle Away from the Google Play store like any other app. Once installed, run it & follow the instructions. You can reset the counter.

Are you sure it's in download mode? When you reboot device in download mode with Vol down +home +power, you will get warning screen and during this it won't detect by pc but once you press Vol up then you get download mode and device can detect by odin.

yep I'm sure. I got the first screen and then I press the up volume and than I get the download mode with the big android robot...

Use usb 2.0 port

Hello Guys !

First, I'd like to say that this thread is awesome :) Thanks to Dr.Ketan :P

I'm here to get some help ^^"

My galaxy Note 2 has some sound problems, so I have to send it back to Samsung in order to repair it.

My phone was rooted and had a custom Firmware.

So I downloaded Triangle Away to keep my warranty and bring the flash counter back to 0.

But it doesn't work :s The "Custom Binary Download" still is at "Yes (1 counts)" and I don't know why...

I have a full stock ROM and Recovery installed with Odin, and this is what is displayed right now when I go through Download Mode:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7100

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

My only problem is the Custom Binary Download. I don't know how to change it into "NO".

It would be awesome if someone could help me ^^

Thanks !
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
You need to reset counter after flashing stock rom, here steps for you

-root with cf auto root(method 1 on my guide)

-Use triangle away to reset counter

-reboot device normally before checking counter.

-check counter after 10min

-if it is fine, uninstall triangle

-open supersu setting - full unroot

-factory reset

Then you can send to service station
[Galaxy Note II General] squall-otaku:
It works perfectly ! :D Now everything is fine and I can send it to the service station !!!!

Hello!

I tried to unlock my note 2 with this method:

http://www.ibtimes.com/how-carrier-u...utorial-926231

Specs:

Note 2, GT-N7100

Build nr: JRO03C.N7100XXALJ3

Baseband version: N7100DXALJ1

Location: Norway

but I got this error:

menu not exist

press back key

current command is 186

I noticed that this is a known problem, but I haven't found any solutions. I read that reverting from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 might do the trick, but I don't find any ROM supporting my model.

I tried this ROM (http://androidlegend.com/update-gala...cial-firmware/), but it doesn't work.. It only shows "Samsung" on startup and nothing happens.

Any help appreciated!

Edit: I hard reset the phone, and it got back to version 4.1.1. I still get the same message as stated above.. I've tried two different roots and clockworkmod with allianceROM..

Is it mandatory to unroot during OTA updates? I am on stock recovery and just rooted (no custom recovery). But I am using xposed framework and other root applications. Do I need to uninstall these. If I dont remove, will it cause any problem since I will loose root after OTA update?

I know OTA sometimes behaves weird. I used to freeze software update but when I defrost last week, though I am rooted I received an update and downloaded too (4.1.2 ofcourse) but not sure whether to install or not. I dont want to unroot since I have installed many root apps mainly xposed modules. If this is not a problem then I can straight away install it.
[Galaxy Note II General] raj_k_r:
Nobody?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
You can install it

Possibilities are

It won't install (due to root)

Install and lose root

Install and may root also remain intact
[Galaxy Note II General] raj_k_r:
Thank you but do you think it is better to remove root apps installed or I can take a chance?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
All applications will work again once you reroot. Applications requires root won't cause issue in ota but may root itself does.
[Galaxy Note II General] raj_k_r:
Thank you, my only worry was it should go into boot loop or something. Anyways I will try.
[Galaxy Note II General] programatix:
As long as you didn't apply any mod, it is safe to perform OTA while rooted. You'll lose root unless you set supersu to survival mode.
[Galaxy Note II General] raj_k_r:
Tried but dint work. Says firmware update failed. try with kies or contact samsung service centre.
[Galaxy Note II General] programatix:
Weird that it doesn't work for you. I've performed OTA update while rooted several times when I tried to save time downloading the whole rom. I also performed OTA update on N8000 without issue. Of course the main issue is to make the system to not detect the 'modified' thing.
[Galaxy Note II General] raj_k_r:
May be I know the problem. Once I had experimented with link2sd and these files were modified-"install-recovery.sh" and "install-recovery.sh.ori" from system/etc and "debuggerd" from system/bin. Since these are run at boot, I am 100% sure that this is the problem.

There is nothing else changed, no custom recovery, never flashed or modified anything. I think either I need to replace these files with original ones or flash stock ROM using ODIN
[Galaxy Note II General] FinancialWar:
what's so important at keeping the counter at 0?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Just for warranty purpose, any non zero value voids warranty.

You can reset counter only of your device is live. So always better to keep 0 if you are warranty conscious.
