I am planning to exchange my phone back to the store. I have unrooted and factory reset but it still shows clockwork recovery. Since there is no odin version of stock rom, how do I then return back to stock recovery? Thanks.
Edit: I think I may have found the answer myself. Will report back.
Edit 2: Didn't realize that there is in fact an odin version to stock under development thread. I just odin'd and everything is ok.
Can you post the exact thread to the stock method? What I've seen so far is what seems to be half axed ways.
Thanks.

it does not.
I actually had to return the phone since they didn't have any left in stock and bought it at another store. I forgot about the flash counter. I have been looking around and don't see any answers to reset it or not count for T-mobile. I think ATT and Sprint have a way to reset it. Can anyone chime in? I will probably start a thread here or in general about it.
I have done this twice and it has worked for me every time. By using the App2SD script and turning your exsdcard into your main card that your system will use to store apps. Then formatting your sdcard. Then you can just use the Kies firmware upgrade and initialization. It will start programming your phone and when it has completed you are back on non rooted stock rom. I would give thanks to the individual that designed the App2SD but I don't know who they are or if they ever thought it could be used to unroot your phone.
Wrong thread
Wouldnt it be easier to just use odin? If your a fan of samsung mobile odin is the good tool.

This puts your phone back to factory unrooted, normal device status without the flash counter being tripped. If one way don't work this is another way.

Firstly, is your device rooted? have you got cwm installed in your device before not being able to boot? If yes i recommend you to try and reflash the file and stock firmware through odin. MAKE SURE that it is for you device! [eg. for n7100 and not for n7105]
The stock browser doesn't have anymore the "zoom on the side" feature on XXDLK7? or is it custom rom specific? any way to get it back?
Thanks^^

Should get chrome hahaha but anyways, there is a possibilty that it is rom specific but that is very unlikely, as developers would not really wanna touch the stock browser as normally i would see they would add an alternative browser such as chrome to their roms. To get the feature back you might need to push the app from the previous rom/version you were using.

TriangleAway crash
Hello, thanks for this thread. I have a GT-N7100 now but previously i had GT-9100 and i'm familiar with rooting, rom flashing, etc.. and i've used TriangleAway so many times. When i get my hands on note 2 first thing i've done was rooting it with CF Auto Root package via Odin. then i've done wiping steps and after that i tried to flash my counter via TriangleAway(purchased from market). It said i have to download data to use it so i did. When TriangleAway opened "Current Status" said current status cannot be determined so i have to go special boot mode for reset. So i tried to reset my counter. Unfortunately when app tried to check for kernel, first app froze and after that it crashed and showed a warning about app being stopped. I tried to delete and re-install app(no good), gone to download mode it said normal status with 1 custom software install, looked to recovery menu for any changes(it is stock not CWM) and tried to find any wrong thing i've screwed up while rooting. But i couldn't find anything. I've looked at chainfire's blog, TriangleAway app post and everywhere i can think of. I cannot find anything. Can u help me with my problem. Thank you for your time and if i misused English anyhow and it came difficult to read sorry in advance.

I used cf auto root on a friends n7100. The counter was reset by auto root itself.
You dont need triangle away as separate app. Just use cf auto root and make sure you use the right version for n7100
EDIT: you need triangle away for the counter. Auto root just installs stock recovery after rooting. I was wrong.

Ktp1976 well even before i used TriangleAway counter was showing 1 due to CF Auto Root flash via Odin. But what you are saying is interesting thoug i've never seen something like it.

As it seems you are right and my memories were wrong
It installs stock recovery after rooting. You need triangle away to reset the counter. I just looked it up under forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933542
I did not have any problems though.

Hi, at the moment i would recommend you to try and restock again and then try to reset the counter. You can also try and download the triangle away version from the xda forum(i know its the same but who knows it might make a difference). If this does not work, i would recommend you to try and install redpill kernel and then try to reset counter again then restock, if you are running a custom roms in your phone, everytime you reboot the device will store a counter, so you will have to reset the counter everytime. Hope i have helped you.

Your case is really weird, maybe try root it before installing the cwm and see what happens. Then after that try and restock it again.

First of all thank you and ktp1976 for answering.. Ok now i'm re-download everything from your thread and try it again.. I saw redpill kernel yesterday while i was searching is there any siyah kernel for note 2.. I luvved siyah kernel on my sgs2 but unfortunately there isn't one for it and developer wrote he will not wrote any version of siyah kernel for note series anytime soon.. so while i was looking for a kernel written by a suggested developer from gokhanmoral i came across to it.. the thing is i never have used any kernels double rom features or try to overlock any of my devices, i tried custom roms like miui, cyanogen, lightning on sgs2 but there was always a downside of all of the custom roms and every single time i've re-return to stock roms.. and while using stock roms i don't need any cutting edge features of advanced kernels i just need root permissions for using TitaniumBackup, Root Explorer and ROM ToolBox.. so that is the reason why i didn't try to have an advanced kernel.. Still if you are saying i will need it i will give it a shot.. I'll report after.. :fingers-crossed:
I'm wondering why I can't find a sticky on how to unroot? I would think lots of us restore to factory again, unroot and start over, I'm surprised there's no guide stickied.
That being said - does anyone have a link or guide to returning to stock - or better yet returning to stock/rooted?
My phone really need a reformat...
Thanks!
There is a sticky in the general thread with exactly what you are looking for. Has root roms and other links in it.

How do you get an ATT S3 back to full stock config and count reset??
I have an SGH-I747 that was rooted, cwm recovery and a few roms installed in the past. Right now I am stuck. I want to go back to all official/original, like it would if you bought it new. I would like it to have the latest official ATT firmware build, kernel ,modem, etc.... and the counter reset. I'm currently on 4.3 but I don't know if its the official build for ATT, I included a screenshots of device info. Please check them for more info. If you need more let me know.
I know some of you are going to say "did you read through the forums??" The answer is yes I did but could not find a good answer to my particular problem. I am somewhat of a noob but I do know the basics. All I ask is for a bit of help or info.
Thanks in advance
You can reset the custom binary count, but not the warranty bit.
The best you can do is follow enewman17's stock restore thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Then update to 4.4.2 via ota.

Try factory reset in recovery
Factory resetting solves about 99% of all boot hangs.
