[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cx831:
I was on the leaked built ATT OTA 4.3 initially, then downgraded 4.1.1 using strictly section I & hidden menu to unlock my phone. So I was full-on on 4.3 as far as I know- which makes it odd because I supposed knox and all would get in the way.

Im on a pure 4.1.2 MH3 right now (TWRP/param not yet flashed). I just checked for update and now it's downloading a 695.85mb update (in contrary to the OTA 4.3 update which is 702mb). By any chance you'd know which update I'm downloading?

Edit: Back to MK6 purely through OTA updates. No param or TWRP flashed. So I think its pretty safe to assume unrooted device can go right back no problem only following section I.

I was on wifi when I received and downloaded the update (connection to DM server, standard ATT update etc etc.)

Do you think I need to flash TWRP and param to get to the Zen's odex 4.3?

Thanks a bunch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
That makes sense then. If you used the one click leaked 4.3, you didn't have the locked bootloader. That came with the full ATT 4.3 OTA.

Hope I'm not too late.

YOU ARE DOWNLOADING THE FULL 4.3 OTA that will lock the bootloader. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT ! You struck it out, not sure if you did it.

But the screenshot looks like you did ......

And for Zen's 4.3 ROM all you need to do is flash TWRP. I don't remember right now if one-click flashed bootloader also so I'm not sure what you are running right now.

You can go to a terminal window and type getprop ro.bootloader to show what bootloader you are running

Check bootloader and I'll know where you're at.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] killacam1989:
Ok so where does the TWRP need to be installed? I remember it saying in which step but its gone...and i dont know which step to flash TWRP. at the end of part 2 or beginning of part 3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
The flashing TWRP requirement is gone. Testing with Zen Arcade we found out that it wasn't needed any more. During my initial testing I found that TWRP's openrecovery script finished the install.

Flashing I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip will get you through the update to MH3 now.

EDIT: Post #3 updated
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] inconceeeivable:
Can I extract the TZ Param from my copy of Jedi X2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
For ?????

And I'm not sure it's in there, I could be wrong it's been a while since I've seen it.

Which carrier are you using? I believe the X2 was built off Verizon builds. It has multicarrier capabilities. But I don't think it's base was ATT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] inconceeeivable:
Sorry, wasn't thinking. Can I dump them from my own phone that's running ATT based 4.3? I'd rather use my own files if possible.

Just to confirm--this is the only way back to stock if I've OTAed to 4.3 then flashed X2? Since we don't have a full stock 4.3 Odin file?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ghoststar479:
So I want to get back to a stock phone for various reason, but had a couple questions.

I currently have an ATT Note 2, running SN 4.3R9z Update, with the I317UCAMH3 bootloader, and the 3.0.01-Devil kernel. I am also using CWM version 6.0.4.3.

Since I already have the i317UCAMH3 bootloader, could I just flash to one of the stock TW ROMs, then OTA to the latest? Or would I still have to follow each and every step of this guide?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
You have a few options since you are on the the MH3 bootloader.

It depends which stock ROM you want to be one....

4.1.1, 4.1.2 or 4.3.

4.3 you can use the link above.

For stock 4.3, the first two you need to flash via custom recovery.

The third you use ODIN.

AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Odexed* Stock CWM Note 2

AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Deodexed* Stock CWM Note 2

AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Odexed* Stock ODIN Note 2

Since you *are not* running Official 4.3 (MK6) or newer bootloader:

After flashing one of the firmware packages above flash the bootloader package below in Odin to get wifi working (sorry, no option available for CWM/TWRP). I've included the Odin executable just after if needed.

Bootloader needs to be flashed only once. See post #2 for information on how to check what version of bootloader you have installed.

** Warning - do not attempt to flash MJ4 bootloaders if you already have the MK6 bootloaders - this will soft brick your phone - see post #2 for more **

AT&T i317 ODIN 4.3 UCUBMJ4 (Leak) Bootloader & TZ (AT&T Note 2 ONLY)

If you want to run the MH3 stock (4.1.2)

Zen also has this created.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2484338

For 4.1.1 you can use the guide on post #1

Unless you want to be locked down on the OTA bootloader, DO NOT OTA to the MK6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ghoststar479:
I actually wouldn't mind being locked down, as silly as it sounds. I've had a tendency in the past to break my phones with too much flashing, so being stuck on stock might not be a bad thing for me. If that is the path I want to take, do my options remain the same?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
It all depends on what you want phone to do. Did you want root?

If not, then follow my guide, it will get you all the way through the AT&T I317-UCUBMK6 OTA. That will lock the bootloader, and implement Knox hardcore.

If you do want root, then flash Zen's

[ROM][4.3][Dec-2013] AT&T I317-UCUBMK6/MJ4 *Stock* Rooted Odex/De-Odex/Odin. And follow his instructions....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ghoststar479:
Great. Thanks for the help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
No worries. I'll be around....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ghoststar479:
Last question, I swear :P

If I OTA, then I can not currently regain root after all is said and done?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Sorry for delay in reply.

Yes you can..

But there's more steps to do, instead of just flashing Zen's already rooted 4.3 MK6 ROM.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ghoststar479:
Getting ready to go through all of this and was wondering if there was an approximate amount of time I can expect it to take? Obviously the OTA downloads will vary, but what about the rest of it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Flashing LJ2 via ODIN, maybe ten minutes.

OTA to MH3, downloads 302 MB, depends on wireless dl speed. Should take 10 minutes at the most.

OTA to MK6 is 700 MB, 15-20 minutes.

Whole process should take under an hour.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ghoststar479:
Oh wow, was thinking it would be more like two or three. That's fantastic, thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ghoststar479:
So I was able to get the 4.1.2 update without having to flash the MK6 file in Odin, it just went on through and booted fine. Only problem is now it won't let me get into the Software Update screen. Went and changed the time like instructions say, and can no longer access that screen. It does say that it is downloading in the notification bar, but when I click on that, it doesn't take me to a progress screen. I'm guessing it's all good, but just wanted to ask if anyone else had this issue as well?

If it's downloading, I'll just have to wait for it to finish. Either way, thanks for the guide :)

Thanks.

After doing this, and root the phone, I can install any rom, for example omni or AOKP rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Have you ever been on 4.3?

The purpose of this was to fix phones that got hosed during OTA or from flashing the MK4 bootloader, and mutliple other scenarios.

So depending on your version of firmware you are on with depend what you can flash.

There's not need to root the phone, most ROMs came pre-rooted. You just need to flash a custom recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] edj809:
I'm on 4.3 (MK6) right now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Then yes. All you need is custom recovery.

INSTALLING TWRP 2.6.3.1

- Run Odin3 v3.07.exe

Download Link http://www.mediafire.com/download/77...x2/Odin307.zip

- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode

Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.

Plug into a RELIABLE usb port and a RELIABLE usb cable (preferably the white Samsung cable) and wait for it to show up in Odin (COM5 or something like that)

- Click the PDA slot in Odin and locate the openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar that you downloaded.

The filename that goes into the PDA Slot is openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar

MAKE SURE IN THE OPTION AREA ONLY AUTO REBOOT AND F.RESET TIME ARE CHECKED!!!

- Click START and wait. It will complete and reboot.

The OMINI rom main page says use this openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.8-t0lte.zip from here. http://goo.gl/gxs5HY

Then I just read the one I post above will work..

I'm downloading OMINROM now to test.

Hold on a few and I'll get back to you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] edj809:
ok thanks, I will install twrp meanwhile
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
No prob. The version I posted above 2.6.31 worked perfectly. I flashed the nightly build omni-4.4.2-20140304-t0lte-NIGHTLY.zip , not the multwindow version.

Downloaded from here http://dl.omnirom.org/t0lte/

I might actually keep it running. Pretty smooth.

Follow this guide to back up first ! Backup EFS also.

http://www.addictivetips.com/android/what-is-twrp-how-to-install-use-it-on-android-devices-guide/

After backup is complete, hit back buttons and do a Wipe. AFTER BACKUP !

***** The guide is from an older version but still good. When doing a Wipe you can select the Internal storage. DO NOT SELECT External SDCARD ! Unless you do not care about losing anything you have on it. Its a suck a$$ feeling when you actually check that box and you lose all your stuff. It's always a good practice to copy the stuff you want to save from your external sdcard to your PC. For those Oh Sh*t moments.....

Make sure you copy the ROM you are flashing to external sdcard. If you copy it to internal storage, and select internal storage during wipe, it will not be there to flash. You will need to restore your backup, or use adb push to get the ROM back on phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] edj809:

No. That's part of the guide. Instead of doing the Over the Air update to MK6 4.3. That's an option.

I read the whole thread and still puzzled... MK6, LJ2, OMG!

I have a used AT&T I317, came with 4.3, got unlocked for T-M using code.

Now comes the unclear part - how to make it 4.3 rooted?

The download menu says: "CUSTOM BINARY: No, KNOX WARRANTY VOID :0, AP SWREV: A2". Software version: I317UCUBMK6, so I guess it was upgraded officially OTA.

I only have valid T-Moblile SIM and plenty on expired ATT ones...

The thing I don't understand is that after STEP 3 in the first post quoted: "will reboot into the OTA 4.3 i317UCUBMK6", isn't it the same I have I have right now? :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
This guide is if you hose up something and need to go back to stock.... Then it helps you get back to the MK6 OTA.

Or there's the ability to flash Zen's MK6 stock ROM also. Which is already rooted.

It will not change the MK6 bootloader. Nothing can or will.

If you root your phone, the Knox Warranty will change from 0 to 1.

I have serious problems with Note 2

I'm making one At&t Note 2 from a co-worker. He had taken the update when it had the issues and then went back to older 4.1 but firmware was MK6. I followed step 1 and it worked without problem. It took the update but then after reboot it stood on the Galaxy Note 2 icon as mentioned. I followed step 2 and flased Odin provided file. After that phone never came back. during my desperation I tried to go to recovery and make a factory reset but could not get into recovery so I did reflash the Stock firmware from post #1 but I did not work either.

I am really confused since everything was working great.

Please advice how to proceed to restore this phone thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Start over again. Take it slow.

1. Flash the LJ2 4.1.1 Firmware.

2. Remember to do the factory reset at the bottom of Step 1.

That is when the phone hangs on the Flashing Blue Samsung Logo.

3. Do the OTA update to 4.1.2 MH3.

4. After the hangs hangs at the Samsung Note II screen

Flash the I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip

5, It should reboot fine.

Phone was original on Rogers, you have an ATT SIM in (I may be confused about that I guess).

You can flash ATT firmware but you have to flash Rogers modem for network.

Which is fine, I think T-Mobile folks have to do the same thing.

I'm just confused on since it's working, why you are looking to unlock. Really not any my business, not questioning your intentions or desire. Just making sure I'm giving you the right info.
