Hello All.. After over 5 years of flashing I think I have finally bricked my device.. I am normally great with directions and the forum however I think the latest 4.3 update got me twisted up. Odin'd back to stock and upgraded OTA. All was well.. Then I attempted Chainfire's CF root.. All was well and I froze on a phone call.. I battery pulled and now I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".. I tried to go through Kies emergency recovery and it wont accept my serial numbers.. I called t-mobile they told me I need to bring it to a smasung dealer to get "flashed"... I'm at a lost now.. One thing else is when I access download mode I see this Knox Warranty Void : 1.. Does this mean I'm done? I've been trying to read up on this knox and it seems scary to say the least.. yet nothing I read has helped me.. After hors of searching and missing the football game I decided to look to the forums.. Any help is very much appreciated. :crying:

I tried to ODIN back to stock with several .tar files (UVBMB4 and UVALJ1) it fails and shows unsupported version(in red) on the device

Did you try flashing the most recent UVUCMK7 stock firmware ? Your phone has the 4.3 bootloader which is not letting you flash older 4.1.x firmwares.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lordtigger:
Hi, New to the Note and rooting. I tried using the steps in the op to root but am getting the "SuperSU is trying to access and is unauthorized" error. I'm really confused as to where to go from here. I tried flashing a new Rom but it errors out. My phone I guess is still stock Rom and works fine but it constantly displays the SuperSU error which is crazy annoying. And it won't let me just drop SuperSU into the garbage to delete it.

Help!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lordtigger:
So I'm trying to start over, and these are the instructions for Option 2:

Option 2 : Only Root

Download this CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/264/CF-...3g-gtn7100.zip

and extract it to .tar

Procedure :

1.Open Odin and select PDA tab

2.Point to extracted file CF-Auto-Root-SGN2.tar

3.Now switch off device and reboot in download mode

press Vol down + Home +Power, And then, press Volume UP button in Warning Page to enter the Download Mode

4.Connect device to PC and wait till device successfully added to com port (it will turn light blue)

5.Hit ‘Start’ to flash

6.Once it flashed successfully, you can see 'PASS' in table above the ID :COM, you can disconnect device from PC

7.Reboot device and you will have superSU in application drawer.

I downloaded the correct file, extracted it, but step 2 says to select extracted file CF-Auto-Root-SGN2.tar

But that file does not exist. There are only 3 files:

CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar.md5

Odin3.ini

Odin3-v1.85.exe

So I'm stuck. Where can I find this autoroot file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] premiatul:
On this file:

CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar

.md5

remove the .md5 and you will have this:

CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar

Simple, heh?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkMcCoskey:
Option 1: CWM + SuperSU

Finally flashed the CWM root with Odin. Then installed SuperSU. Then flashed TWRP 2.8.0.0 followed with SuperSU's newest binary UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip. Don't know why I waited so long to do this. All of my tablets and past phones have been rooted with custom ROMs. Will probably replace the T889 sometime this year.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] antique_sonic:

I confirm the device is working with Galaxy Note 2 LTE N7105 too.

I have no idea if it is different or not.

But for N7105, after finish the odin, don't let the phone fully restart until the phone up.

once pass (from ODIN), and the device is restarting, quickly press Vol UP + Home + Power to go into CWM.

If you let it fully restart till the phone UP, the recovery will go back to stock recovery instead of the CWM recovery which you have just injected by ODIN.

(I flash 4 times with ODIN, and let it fully restart, recovery always go back to stock. The 5th time I never let it fully restart, and can go into CWM recovery.)

Once inside the CWM recovery already, just follow my friend (simplelife) step. And you're good to it alrd.

PS :

Triangle v2.10 is working for N7105.

Simplelife,

perhaps you would like to update your thread title for N7105 also. It is confirmed working, only i can't let the phone fully restart.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] teshxx:
Chainfire can't do anything at the moment since there is no STOCK recovery.img from T889. You ask, can't we just pull the recovery.img from a rooted t889??? Answer is No. Because that recovery won't be the same as stock since its already been modified when you flash recovery.img from n7100.

As to custom stock roms, any roms you will see will be the ones made from a nandroid back up. Tmobile/samsung haven't released a full STOCK firmware yet. Only OTA's are available and they are old and useless.

Hope this helps clarify certain things :)

Counter reset using latest rev of Triangle Away not working. After root & recovery it showed 2. After T-A it shows 1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tiffany84:
From Chainfire's thread:

Using this root increases your flash counter. You should run Triangle Away (see below) after rooting to reset the counter. Note that if you want to run custom kernels or custom recoveries, your flash counter will be set to 1 at every boot. Either configure Triangle Away to reset the counter at every boot (Play version only) or only reset the counter when you need to go into warranty.

- On my SGS3/Note2/etc, Download Mode says my System is modified, and Triangle Away does not reset it

Triangle Away attempt to reset this status and block it from coming back, but it depends on the firmware. It does work on some (not all) stock firmwares. Resetting this value doesn't work on custom firmwares!

- On the SGS3/Note2/etc, System->Settings->About device->Status still shows "Modified"

This is outside the scope of Triangle Away. The "system" status is not even always resettable in the bootloader. If you are going for warranty, you need to also reflash a full stock firmware and wipe your device. If they boot up your device and find root apps, you're not going to get any warranty anyway. If you do such a full stock reflash and wipe, the "Modified" value will go away.

Fix Permissions in CWM breaks s-memo

Hi,

I rooted successfully and CWM Touch is neat, but I found that fixing permissions in this version of CWM breaks the Samsung Keyboard and the S-memo app (S-memo will crash upon bootup and all the time, if using the keyboard it becomes a grey area). These are the most two important apps that make the Note II what it is -- can anyone look at the permissions script and see what it does to these?

Has anyone experienced this? If you want to test make sure you have a recent nandroid backup.

My way of root I did learn from toolkit :o. Sometime user confusing with many option in toolkit , that why I come up with easy way to root but same with toolkit. Flash CWM via Odin , flash SU with CWM ( is it sound easy ;) )
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] teandro:
CWM, TWRP

I did. Keep in mind this was done using original stock rooted, with CWM. After having this problem twice, fix permissions (usuallly with cache + Dalvik wipe) was the only common pattern, so after a nandroid I reset to factory, logged in, booted to CWM and tried a fix permissions only -- nothing else. Again it broke the keyboard and s-note, and that is all it breaks -- so I suspect some permissions are not quite right. Other ROMs might be different.

Recently I tried TWRP and it does not seem to have the same issue. However, their fix permissions script has changed recently and I'm not sure it works right now. I prefer TWRP anyway, we'll see. I can live without fix permissions, and the two Samsung apps are really without good alternatives for the S-pen, so I have to stick with them. Just though I'd give you guys a heads up in case you see this problem.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gack69:
You'll have to excuse my ignorance and the likely stupid question that is about to follow, but what is the advantage of this over just flashing via CWM or TWRP? If it's the ability to prevent increasing your counter...I fail to see the benefit unless I have it wrong in my mind. By that I mean...we want to ideally avoid incrementing the counter and flagging our devices as "Modified" ONLY for warranty purposes, correct? But this requires a ROOTED device to begin with...that's the confusing part for me. If I have this correct, we'd have to root w/o increasing our counter, then we could use this to flash our goodies, but the fact that we would bring in a phone that is rooted even without an increased flash counter will still void our warranties wont it? So...wouldn't we still have to ODIN back to stock to unroot or something anyways before we brought it in? And if so, seems like it defeats the purpose to avoid incrementing the counter, if we still will have to go back to complete stock before any warranty work to begin with? Sorry...probably missing the point...and I'm not "dissing" the software at all, believe me...LOVE me some CHAINFIRE!! Just really hoping to be educated here is all...so, someone teach me :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gack69:
Cool.. If I understand this correctly... This may make it possible for us on custom roms and with incremented counters to still flash ota updates without first having to Odin back to stock? Am I getting that part right? Thanks again for taking the time to help explain this.
