thanks for this! giving my wife my note 2 and she prefers a stock experience so this is perfect
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rchampagne:
hey there!

First, thank you for this. I used this to finally unsoftbrick my sprint note 2. I am now back into android. However, I do not have cell service. is there anything i can to to fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I would like to but haven't had much time these last few weeks. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I would try updating profile and PRL. If that doesn't work verify that your modem is showing under About Phone correctly. If not reflash the One-Click and see if the modem sticks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mediocrates:
Also, try entering ##72786# to re-activate on the network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rchampagne:
Basband shows as unknown

tried, but since baseband shows as unknown, i just get the message, "mobile network not available"

even worse, i have the dreaded 1 counter in the knox warranty void now as well

I'm trying a fresh download of the one click and then reflash to see what happens. I will keep you posted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Oh ok totally understand. From one of the unclean masses may I say thank you for your hard work and valuable time. You devs are the best.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
just wanted to give a quick thanks rwilco for this file, it's the last one i'll be DLing from this section before I move on to the Note3 section. between you, garwyn, and platty, you guys kept my device in the newest and best. again, thanks, and see ya'll on the flipside!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] syphen6:
I installed this now I cant figure out how to get root back , knox wont let me install terminal emulator from the play store any other ways of disabiling knox ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ae69ae:
yeah go here I rooted my knoxed up 4.3 and manually removed the knox files, I can't manage to upgrade prl or profile though (probably knox related). I'll try flashing again this weekend.

Note 2 forum is dying fast. must... stay.. together... LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
in my experience, any device section has 3 waves of users , the early adapters (technical tinkerer and addict), the upgrade bandwagon (average user, knows what root is), and the got it used and cheap (how do I getz free hot spot, yo!?!11!? Can ths B flash'd to Metro?!).

I wonder if you guys will get that third wave....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
You forgot one of the groups! The wannabe early adopters who are too broke to afford an upgrade. I'm unfortunately in that group. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bdubble:
thanks

i been waiting. my stock phone wouldnt take the ota
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Agent Soap:
Broke, perhaps... wannabe no chance, closer to android monster/device master! No reason to upgrade until YOUMie screens (imo).:good: wrk

Why be part of the HERD ..... Note 2...Note 3.... why pay top dollar to do basically the same.

Let the Herd pay top price .... LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chconser:
Ok I see the OP says this will not increase the Odin flash count. Since this flashes the bootloader, does that mean it resets the Odin count to zero & the status from custom to original & restore KNOX warranty status, too? Or is that a separate partition/locked area of the file system?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
It doesn't reset the Odin count it just doesn't increase it. To reset it I would use Triangle Away by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] and then use the One-Click.

I don't believe it will restore Knox status. I haven't had a chance to test it as I haven't tripped my Knox status yet. I'm hoping to upgrade soon and then I'll trip it and test it but I can't afford to test that piece yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chconser:
Got it. Thanks for the quick reply.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] confusedwiseman:
First of all, I'd like to say thank you for the work that you've done here. I'm running into an issue that I was hoping someone here might be able to help me with. I've downloaded the fullrestore exe, and have extracted it. From there I'm able to run as administrator, put the device into the odin mode and successfully run the restore. The device automatically reboots, and then displays the Sprint start up animation and sound. It then just displays "SAMSUNG" on the screen. It never finishes booting into the OS.

</br>

</br>

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Sometimes cache doesn't clear correctly with a full restore. Try booting into recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik and then restart. If that doesn't work wipe both again and reflash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] confusedwiseman:
OK, I figured out the next step. Turn the phone off, and volume up + home + power until phone powers on. Once the phone boots, release the power, but keep others pressed. do a factory reset in the menu. It will take a while to do a full boot once selected, but it is working now.

Hopefully this is useful for someone else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuhsi:
Super helpful. Easy to run. Perfect. Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
I'm sorry to bother everyone but does the .exe wipe the external sd card? I know it says "all data" but does that mean all partitions or will it wipe everything except the external sd card too?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
It only wipes internal. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Quick question I have two files that are Full Restore files one is 836 mb the other is 1456 mb which is the correct one to use?

Thank you sir for the reply and your work with our phones. I have a question for you if you don't mind. You were talking about a new phone I assume a Note 3? Is it me or is the Note 3 just doesn't have the WOW factor. I mean it's a wonderful phone for sure but it just wasn't that jaw dropping for me. I will probably wait on the Note 4 or if it possible Nexus 6. Any other phone you think is worth the jump?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dedline:
Knox reset?

Hey guys, I have wiped everything and attempted to go back to full stock restore with this one click with no luck. Knox is still tripped with custom binary. Is there anyone to make phone completely stock no tripped Knox, everything original like it first was in the box from sprint? I have tried everything. No luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I'm hoping to stay with my Note 2 for as long as possible. It has been my favorite phone (after my old Palm Pre). Only problem is my speaker is going out on it and I can't afford to replace it right now. :(

I do agree that there wasn't as much wow as I had hoped but it's still fairly decent. I'm holding out hope for the S5 or that maybe Sony will come to Sprint.

In the meantime I've been impressed with both the Nexus 5 and the LG G2. I just don't know if either one is THE phone I want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Unfortunately I haven't seen anything that can untrip Knox yet. Sorry!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Thanks for alk you do RWILCO12. Is the correct file to flash in Mobile Odin Pro the larger 1456mb file? My apologies for bothering you sir.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I don't know the size off the top of my head but that sounds about right. You need to run the .exe you extract form the compressed archive it all comes in.

Also, a reminder that Mobile Odin won't flash the modem correctly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dedline:
Thank you for the response. So I guess if you can't reset the Knox counter you can never return phone in original state to sprint for warranty. Might as well keep it rooted and rom it up to my hearts content. Thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuhsi:
I decided to go MK4 so I installed this about 3 weeks ago. After the install, I noticed that my cell reception is really really bad (yes, even worse than the already bad sprint service).

For example, I generally get only 1 or 2 bars on my phone now in some areas, like my house, where I used to get full bars.

Did I do something wrong? Can I odin the modem again to see if that helps?

Updating PRL and Profile don't help.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sky1193:
My phone doesn't want to boot after running this it just gets stuck on the breathing samsung screen... Anyone else encounter this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Try booting to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache? That should fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sky1193:
Yeah I actually did this right after posting and it did fix it. Thanks for the help and the great toolkit!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArchangelRenzoku:
Anyone have another mirror please? Rwilco's site is not working for me and almost every site I've gone to won't let me download MC2 so I have to settle for this and go backwards again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
When you say "not working" would you be able to provide some additional info? I just downloaded the file on three separate devices in less than ten minutes with no issue. My servers are also showing as running at less than 10% capacity so it should work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ron36:
Hi all. My lil sis excepted an update in Florida while on vacation. The phone updated and wiped it. She then used it for 4 days strait, charging daily but never powering off. The battery died and after being recharged and turned on it gets stuck on the samsung screen. She was already on stock mk4 and has never been rooted.

I tried this tool and I am getting the same. I tried flashing the stock image from odin and the same, stuck at samsung logo.

Any other Ideas?

thanks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Harjan112:
Before you flash another Rom!

Try going into recovery mode and do a data/factory reset and then reboot again, the fist time booting up might take a little while.

Hoping this helps :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ron36:
Yeah tried it, same results.

Thanks for the reply.

LOL, I wish it was as simple as this.

Thanks for the reply tho.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
I ran in to a similar problem, like what you describe.. If you still have a recovery, go to mounts, if sdcard or whatever it is is checked, un-check it, go back to install from sdcard, you wont find any files. Then go back to mounts recheck sdcard go back to install, flash either rwilco12 file or billards and it should work..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kumite2010:
rwilco12 thank you thank you for this tool! I spent all day trying to resolve this bootloop dilemma I found myself in. I went through so many tips and suggestions from various internet sources and I Odin'd so much I think I actually saw Thor one time...Your tool was my very last resort.

I don't mind having to get another phone but there were some files (pics and videos of my daughters and some passwords) that were on the onboard storage and pretty much irreplaceable and I could see no way of retrieving them unless I got into a ROM and you helped me do that.

Again thank you so much for this :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] azazell32:
After flashing this my note 2 was stuck in boot loop also. Going into recovery and doing factory reset as said above worked for me.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I tried this method but didn't work for me. The Odin program said fail. It passed the MD5 check. Started doing the download. The phone had an error message too:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Are you trying to downgrade from NE2? There were some bootloader changes that prevent downgrading.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I am on NE2. I wasn't necessarily trying to down grade, but I was trying to fix big time issues I'm having.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I would suggest flashing the NE2 TAR that Garwynn released. That will give you a fresh start and hopefully fix your problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
Yes, I tried it. In fact, Garynn's rom and the one from Samsung are the same; at least same size file. I have a thread on what I've been trying and the results--good and bad; thread linky
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hardrock121:
I am on baseband mc2 and kernel 3.0.31 and build ne2. How do i get all of them in sync. Esp Baseband to NE2.

Also, in op it says this had knox, isnt that an issue rooting? how do i root this once i flash ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
This is MK4 so you don't want to flash this if you're going to NE2. To get everything on NE2 you'll need to flash the NE2 TAR.

Once you've done that you can use several methods to root. Knox itself doesn't prevent root, it just makes it so your can see if you've ever flashed anything custom to your device. There are several threads with instructions on how to root, I'd recommend reading some of them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hardrock121:
Thanks, I really appreciate your work here.

I flashed the ne2 modem to get myself on ne2. I believe knox is the bootloader update right, I am on older BL so knox is not there. I am on NE2 baseband and NE2 build. Not sure what else i am missing now from stock POV, other than bootloader.

Is the advicable to flash Ne2 tar? when I read the time ne2 came out, ppl asked not to upgrade because it updates BL too and that means you can triangle away etc.. has that changed? Its been atleast 4-5 months since i have been out of action.

Reg NE2 tar you are ref to the one on your website? Theres full restore and orig tar.. which one ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
If memory serves..

One is flashed in recovery and the other is done with Odin

Unsupported Version?

Hey guys,

I just downloaded this, extracted it and followed the instructions. Got the yellow box after plugging in device, hit start in Odin 1.85, and flashed. It did not complete and failed in Odin. On my device in download mode at the bottom line, it says in RED, Unsupported Version.

Any ideas how to make this work, or what is going on?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
Thank you very much for this. My wife got sick of being rooted & wanted to just be stock. Of course she was interested once I told her the note 2 would be getting 5.0 LP. But this worked like a charm of course.

hi all:

Can I use downgrade from NE2 back to MK4 using the file and method by OP in this thread?

ITA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Dont try it. If you just want to use a mk4 rom then just flash the rom and you will be fine. If you try downgrading the bootloader you will have a soft brick which will take a bunch of work and special files to fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Your insight on the android OP is always appreciate.

Cheers to a Happy New Year :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
No problem. I put my own device through the wringer so I know what happens. I have tested downgrading boatloads both mk4 and ne2. Then had to create fixes when needed. My personal device has been soft bricked over a dozen times. So if I can save someone issues I will.

Have a good/safe new year

Morning JL:

Here is the same issue: GPS signal lost.

I went back to stock rooted MK4 and looked like the GPS issue still there. This happens on two of my note 2. I have read on another forum that the modem my cause the issue. I have tried the LJC, MA7 and MC2 but all not good. Can I flash the NE2 modem with the built MK4?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
You can use any modem with any rom version. My suggestion is that you odin back to full stock. You will need to know your bootloader version. Also backup your internal sdcard because it will be wipe during odin install.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

This app will give you bootloader info. Use a pc and odin (not one click exe program) to flash the samsung tar that matches your bootloader version. Once you return to stock test your gps. It should now work correctly.

If gps works then continue following instructions below. If gps does not want then you may have a hardware failure.

Use odin with auto reboot turned off to flash your custom recovery. When odin finishes remove battery. Reinsert battery while holding vol +, home, power keys (to boot into recovery). Now restore your nandroid and gps should work.

Notice I did not mention rooting the phone. That is on purpose because it is not needed since you would only be rooting the stock rom. Why root a rom you are not planning on using.

Hopefully this helps get your issue fixed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Thank you for taking your time to explain to me. I have been using the bootloader in the Community Rom and just flashed back the stock two days ago. However, I did the full stock reinstall using Billard412's method. Unfortunately, the GPS tracking still does not work. What a coincident that both phones have the same issue at the same time. The weather app still has gps for its location wherever I passed through. At this point, I don't know what is the problem with the GPS tracking anymore.

TIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cgi2099:
please fix, files corrupt

Would greatly appreciate it,!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I just downloaded the files via the website to verify and I'm not seeing any corruption issues. Please remember as it states in the OP, these are packaged in a self-extracting 7-zip archive. You run the extractor by double-clicking on it and directing it where to save the file. The rest of the directions are in the OP.

If you need additional assistance let us know.

Thanks!

make sure you are using correct drivers,and if you are using a desktop plug your usb cable into a usb port that is built into the motherboard.also try redownloading.

Sph l900 changing Rom with a broken USB port

Hi I am not sure if this is the right place to ask the question, but I know is the right person(s),

This is my issue I have a SPH L900, it has a none working USB port although I have put a new usb port already , there is no responce at all from my computer, I have tried different cables, to conect it and nothing , I try a different usb port flex and still the same. Is there any solution you might know to fix this issue so I can downgrade this rom 4.4.2 to 4.1.2. I have done this several times bit this time is not working and I can't think of anything else.

Any suggestion will be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advanse for any suggestion you might have, or if you ahve a lnk to another forum will be apprecaite as well.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Unfortunately if you can't get your device to be recognized by your computer your really up a creek without a paddle. Downgrading requires several firmware changes that Mobile Odin doesn't always handle correctly. I know you've already done it but I would try other cables, other ports, other computers, etc until you find one that works. Sorry!

I tried using this tool and got this error "SW REV. CHECK FAIL" on my phone. Here's a picture of the error on the phone and a picture of the error in Odin:

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Yeah most likely your on ne2 which is newer than mk4. Odin will not let you go backwards. Also not sure what issues you are having but if you just want older roms flash a custom one. You dont have to downgrade to use older roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kraftwerksfit:
Hope someone knowledgeable is still around... my wife's phone decided not to move past the samsung boot screen one morning. The phone was on Philz recovery and a liquid smooth KK milestone 3.2 ROM. I had her boot into recovery and do a factory reset without success. I got a hold of the phone and used this one button Odin fix and it still wont go past the boot logo, and yes I did boot into recovery and factory reset the phone to move it along... I did this one touch fix and factory reset twice. I get a Pass in Odin but when booting to recovery Phil'z is still on the phone. When booting into download mode It also appears nothing has been fixed through Odin as the phone states Custom - Custom - Count 4. Shouldn't this Odin one touch bring the phone back to factory without the custom recovery? Weird how I get an Odin pass yet looks like noting is sticking to the phone.... Anyway I don't care what I have to run or do, just need the phone to work once more stock or otherwise. TIA:confused:

Update: booted into recovery and flashed a stock MC2 ROM with count fix that I used on my phone a couple months ago to return to stock. The phone is failing to install any ROM or wipe cache...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Sounds like you have a newer bootloader than MK4. Try flashing the NE2 stock TAR and see if that works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kraftwerksfit:
Ok thanks for that, should I check anything on Odin besides the defaults? PDA box only right?

Update:

Still has philz installed and still getting this in download mode

So looks like nothing is changing, IDK?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
If Philz is still there the flash didn't stick. On the S5 and newer you have to be completely powered off before booting to Download Mode or it won't actually flash even though it says it does.

At this point I would try powering the device off completely. Pull the battery. Put the battery back in. Boot to Download Mode and then try flashing via Odin again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kraftwerksfit:
Thanks that is how I've been doing it every time. I did it again with Odin V3.10.7 (previous version I was using was V1.8.5) but I get the same outcome.

Is there anything else I can try? maybe check some other settings in Odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kraftwerksfit:
Is there anything else that may fix the phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cfli1688c1:
did you run odin as administrator? - sorry, thats the only thing i can think of

- also, try odin 3.09, just for kicks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kraftwerksfit:
Yes, right click Odin 3.09 exe and "run as administrator". It passed then same old story, Philz recovery and download mode stating custom, custom, and count of 4.
