Hey Doc,

What is stock recovery and what i need to do with it.

Can i directly run triangle away and proceed if it is not necessary.

Unroot

Doc,

Before unrooting via this method do i need to unistall the apps which have root access and also how to back upn contacts and sms and whatsapp chat. (will they be erased via unrooting)

I have downloaded stock rom for samsung july update from sammobile and now will upload it to the phone via odin and after using triangle away in download mode.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
You need not to uninstall application require root access but those applications won't run. Incase you need to wipe for status in that case only you lose it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoursamit21:
Status still Modified only

Hey Doc,

I unrooted my device using the method:

1. reset counter from triangle away.

2. enter download mode from triangle away itself without normally rebooting.

3. Flashed stock firmware using pc odin.

4. The software updated to the latest version but the device status still shows as modified only.

How to get rid this of this and bring device status to Normal?

Hey, I would like to ask, if i rooted my phone but never flash any new ROM. Just rooted to grant my self some access only.

Do I still need to re-install the stock firmware? Or I just need to reset the binary counts with triangle away + SuperSU unroot + factory reset?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Triangle away +supersu unroot ok

No need to Reflash rom if you have everything stock.

Factory reset also only if you have status modified.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryleong:
what about CWM? Just flash a stock recovery will do? and delete the back up data with CWM? or it will auto-remove when i flash a stock recovery?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Backup will remain

flashing stock recovery will enough. Also flash stock kernel if you have custom.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryleong:
Now I've done everything, everything's back to normal and stock after i flash stock recovery. it went back status : normal.

but out of sudden after i reset the binary counts with triangle away, then unroot, suddenly it became status: modified

any idea about this?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
If you have clockworkmod folder on sd card, it may cause it. There may be multiple reason for it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryleong:
I've remove the backups data and flashed a stock recovery. How can I check if there's anymore CWM folder?

Also how can I solve this problem? I have to bring my phone back to samsung service center for warranty purpose.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Remove sd card

Factory reset from stock recovery

Everything should be fine then.

Process for Cyanogenmod 10.1.3

Hi Guys,

Lets say I have installed the latest stable release from Cyanogemod 10.1.3 on my GT-N7100 now if I wish to return to factory defaults and I follow the following procedure will it workout ? The steps have been mentioned in the order they ill be performed:

1. install TA on CM 10.1.3 and run it to reset counter and instead of booting normally, I will boot to download mod from the options provided by TA. -------->(This step is in accordance to Dr.Ketan as he has only mentioned here that one can install TA on his existing custom ROM and proceed.)

2. I will arrange myself a NON-ROOTED stock firmware/ROM from Dr.Ketan's repository and flash the same using PC ODIN in download mode. Now when the phone reboots and if I get stuck in a boot loop then I have to do wipe\data or factory reset (right...??)

3. if everything works out well I should now have stock ROM on my GT-N7100 and CWM will also get removed except it might leave traces behind on my SD card which I can remove by formatting the SD.

4. Now if the status is modified, I will have to clear data from enterprisescope and sysscope. This step

GUARANTEES

that my device status will change to

NORMAL

.

5. Wallahh!! Now I should have a completely factory manufactured device ready to use.

Now the confusions :eek: that I have are....

1. in order to install CM 10.1.3 I will have to install CWM so does installing CWM remove stock recovery ?

2. when I try to remove CM 10.1.3 do I need to flash stock recovery as well as stock kernel? or by just following the steps that I have mentioned above to recover my device is absolutely correct?

3. do I need to be worried about modem, network connectivity and IMEI No. during this entire episode? How will EFS help me?

4. This is current status of my device:

(i) Build Number : JZO54K.N7100XXDMG1

(ii) Kernel Version : 3.0.31-1071214

se.infra@R0301-08 #1

SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 1 16:01:15 KST 2013

I hope things will work for this configuration.

5. is there anything else that I must take into consideration and after following all the steps are there still any chances of risking my device?

It will ask for the S/N which located behind the battery in the battery compartment.

Thats it.. it will download the exact software and firmware that is the latest in ur country and volla.. ur done..

Hey!

Thanks for this guide!

I followed it step-by-step and it worked (part-worked).

After Odin flashed the stock rom and I factory reset everything, I can't access Triangle Away so that I can remove the counter. The phone status is "normal".

Secondly, the phone is due for an update and is being prompted but the phone itself won't update.

Any thoughts?

Go ahead and root your device install triangle away and then reset the counter and the open super su Nd do full unroot then factory reset and that will fix it.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogopadj:
Once Mobile Odin completes the installation your device will reboot and your device will have Stock Kernel, Stock Rom and Stock Recovery and after that you will have Boot Loop. Before you go to Recovery by Pressing Volume Up + Menu+Power button - REMOVE YOUR MEMORY CARD! MEMORY CARD SAVES SOME SYSTEM DATA. - let go these buttons as soon as you see the Samsung N7100 scren and do a Factory reset (will Erase Data from the phone Memory) and device will now reboot now it should boot up to android Setup.

You can now continue with the other processes.

It worked well for me

Need help unrooting phone

Regarding the above comments:

Hi I am very naive when it comes to rooting and unrooting. I bought a rooted Note 2 from a private seller and wanted to unroot my phone but I truly have no idea what I am doing. I am relatively tech savvy but I have a few questions about the instructions. Where and how do I download the the pre-rooted firmware, where and how do I download the TA file/app? Also if someone could please kindly walk me through the unroot process step-by-step I would GREATLY appreciate it. Again as I bought the phone pre-rooted I have no idea as to what to look for as far as Kernels or anything else that may matter.

Oh and SuperSU is already installed on my phone if that helps. Also Do I need to have an SD card in place to properly unroot or can I do without it?

I followed OPs steps and tried to include steps in Post#4, but have no success in getting the binary to stay as Samsung, and the status as official. Please let me know if I missed a step somewhere.

1. So I flashed the stock rom.

2. Factory Reset, wipe cache from recovery (this seems to wipe root access)

3. Have to root

4. Install TA 3.26, Install Titanium Backup, Install root explorer.

5. Use TA reset counter (Here I get Binary as Samsung, Status, Official)

6. Uninstall TA

7. Run Titanium Backup to wipe Ent Sysscope and (defrost and wipe) Sysscope

8. Use root explorer to look for/delete system/xbin/busybox (busybox does not exist)

9. I check the Device status, it's modified.

10. Uninstall TB and RE.

11. Run Super Su for Full Unroot

12. reboot

The status is still at modified. I don't know what else to do. Seems like I'm messing up somewhere after TA. Please assist.

Hey everybody.

My girlfriend is having a terrible problem with her new Xperia Go. It's running the latest Stock Firmware and Kernel without Root and every time she gets an incoming call, the phone won't react for about 15 seconds and then a FC Popup appears. This happens as soon she tries to answer the call. We rebooted it and it worked as it should after a fresh boot, but as soon she uses apps like Whatsapp, Facebook and so on, the problem persists and it's kinda of frustrating. A smartphone should be able to handle those things and she's really disappointed. Thinks I've tried:

-Clear data and cache of Contacts and Phone.

-Hard Reboot

-Recently installed the latest update via OTA (I hoped the problem would get fixed, but unfortunately it's still there)

-Tried using the stock launcher since she uses Nova Launcher

If someone has got an idea of what's going on please reply this post. I don't know if I should root her phone or maybe install a custom ROM. Honestly I wouldn't like to do that since she's a Noob in Android and basically in Technology Stuff. But if that's the solution, I would do that. It's really frustrating.

Thanks! Hope anybody could help :)

EDIT: SOLVED!

I tried to limit the background processes in developer settings and set the maximum to 4 processes and it magically solved the problem!
