Flash firmware using Mobile odin to keep root intact & counter untouched.

Flash firmware using Mobile odin to keep root intact & counter untouched.

If you have device already rooted, you can use Mobile Odin to flash stock firmware to keep Root intact, as well flash counter will also remain untouched.

Here is example to flash leaked firmware LJ2 4.1.2 (Images shown is from N7100 and demo purpose only, you will have to select 7105 ROM)

1.Download & extract ROM file and Copy to SD card.

2.Install Mobile Odin Pro

When you first time open Mobile Odin, it will ask to download required flasher file.

3.Open Mobile odin - select open file

4.Point to ROM file you have copied

5.It will fill up all available field automatically

6.select Ever root option and check mark 'Inject SuperSU' And Then Flash.

Device will reboot in special recovery and firmware will be flashed

After finishing flashing device will be reboot normally and you will have SuperSU installed and flash counter will remain untouched too.

Which recovery you are using?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] emprize:
CWM long time ago, but flashed back to stock before i flash the 4.1.2

Re: [N7105] Stock ROM for N7105, Guide for installation & Root.

It should just be a zip file, you just flash it through cwm/twrp. You can also use mobile odin if you have it. If your using cwm just select the install zip option

Ah yes, My mac kept unzipping the file before I could get to it but a quick boot into Windows fixed this.

Loaded modem, speeds are a lot better now thank you!

Also, out of interest, as you're on EE, what APN settings do you use as there are quite a few floating about and I want to get the best possible speeds.

Quick question regarding flashing using Mobile Odin. Does it erase everything while flashing i.e. do I have to reinstall every app from scratch all over again?

Reason I ask is because I would like to downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 to unlock the phone and then upgrade it back to 4.1.2.

Thanks

Re: [N7105] Stock ROM for N7105, Guide for installation & Root.

Mobile odin gives you the option to select either wipe data and cache or not. You just check the box if you want to wipe.

Hey man, sorry for another question.

My data speeds are ok but my signal on my phone isn't what it used to be. I heard you can flash radio's as well? Is this correct? Or do I need to flash it/could it be something else?

Ive heard some people get better signals with different modems but as far as I I know if you flash the right modem/csc file for your network you should get the best signal. My baseband is N7105BVDLL3 which is the latest ee one. I think sometimes a factory reset can fix issues but there are far more experienced people on here than me.

Hello Dr.Ketan. Yesterday I received an OTA update firmware French about 25mb. Now I build DMB6 and radio DMB1. I have not noticed major changes worth mentioning.

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] dr.ketan:
You can use TWRP too. Later you can root with Chainfire supersu zip.

There may be lot's of recovery available and not possible to include or mention every one.

No chance to make any changes in procedure at presently, it may get update if any major changes needed in future.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] mrjayviper:
Last question please. After installing, a recovery and su binary, I can now install whatever custom ROM I want? What happens to the su binary I installed if the custom ROM congress with its own su binary? Like on cm10.1, I believe it comes with koush's su version. Thanks again
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] dr.ketan:
Yes after flashing CWM/TWRP you can flash custom ROM and su binary will replaced by one packed in ROM you are flashing.

hello, first page looks very informative, but am in a biut of a hurry tonight, i rooted my phone but dont need it root, i want to unroot it as some apps dont work.

i was going to unroot by flashing a stock rom, but didnt want to lose all data. can i update the rom via Kies and will that unroot the phone??

if not, is there anyway to unroot it without losing everything? (thinking more for the games i have progressed in) cheers
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] dr.ketan:
If you have rooted with cf auto root method then just open supersu application - setting - full unroot

Before unrooting make sure you have reset flash counter to revoke warranty. Bcoz to reset counter you needs root.

Hi,

I am using a N7105, stock ROM(DMC3) and recovery. I am using Odin 3.07, successfully ran the Auto CF, then successfully ran Triangle Away but when I boot into Stock Recovery to check, my status is still Custom. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] dr.ketan:
try this

setting - Appl manager -all - sysscope - clear data

do same with enterprise sysscope if exist.

reboot device

check status afetr 5 min.

Hello dr.ketan. If im doing the guide with root + recovery, can't i use triangleaway then? i've read that somewhere. And if i can use triangle away, can u explain why isn't odin recognize my phone in download mode, i've installed samsung usb driver.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] vincentshjuan:
Thanks, tried that at first didn't work....then read somewhere in Chainfire's thread about an option call " Allow Tracker to run" in the new ver. of Triangle Away, enable that, then clear the sysscope, then run Triangle Away again to reset and it finally worked, when I check in Stock Recovery status becomes official again, and in Setting/About Device/Status/Device Status shows Normal now....

Thanks for the help too......

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] dr.ketan:
Have you reset it with triangle away?

make sure you dont have any custom recovery/kernel

as well after using triangle away, reboot device normally and after 5 min check counter again

Again to remember, don't use triangle away to check counter but reboot device to download mode to check it.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] vincentshjuan:
Ahhh, think my problem is that...I use Triangle away to check and it shows 1 and custom status, which I then exit from Triangle and check my status in Setting(which also show modified), then I reboot into Stock Recovery to check which also shows me non official status. Guess that was my mistake then to use Triangle away to check, it must have trigger all the flags and status....

Thanks man....now I can sleep better! Ha ha ha
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] dr.ketan:
If you have status modified then just do this

Uncheck status work around option in triangle away

Uninstall triangle away

Go to setting +application manager - all - sysscope

Clear data

Reboot and check status after 5min

Any idea what I am missing here?

You have broken recovery, which method you have used?

Again do like this

Vol up +power +home

now when you see samsung text on screen, just release power button but keep holding rest of two.

Still you don't get recovery, tou need to Reflash.

Stock recovery

Hi sawdoctor,

Read your post below and just want to confirm, so if I have TWRP(as my Recovery) and if in the event of warranty issues, if I flash back the stock firmware via Odin(eg. DMC3), I will also get back Stock Recovery? TWRP will be replaced by Stock Recovery? I just want to confirm this as I can't seem to find anywhere about reflashing back Stock recovery.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] dr.ketan:
yes, flashing stock ROM, will replace your recovery to stock.

But remember you have to reset counter

Read post #2 How to unroot, there is already i wrote about this.

For that you need tar version, and need to flash for recovery tab in odin.

If you have flashable zip then extract recovery.img and flash using mobile odin.
