i want to ask a question about my kernel. Im using 4.0.3 ICS beta at Xperia Arc. But when the time comes i wanna get my update for ICS officially and that's why i want to lock my bootloader again. I am using ModLord Kernel. I ask about how to get my stock kernel back and is it doable with re-flashing to a 2.3.4 GB ?
Sure,
Just re-flash 2.3.4 with flashtools.
When your regional Official ICS is released, It wont be necessary to have locked Bootloader!
so, It is not necessary to have your bootloader re-locked!
and be careful, never downgrade to 2.3.3 to avoid 0% battery issue!

go to wotan. It was for free, but i think now you must pay for one flash. But i think the easiest way to go back to the stockrom.

I'm currently on Avatar's JB ROM with Wind kernel, how do I revert back completely to the stock Telus ICS/GB?
It seems that HOINO's stock Telus ICS ROM is giving install errors.

Did you do a nandroid backup directly after rooting your device as recommended by most people?
If so, simply revert to that, and if you're using cwm as your recovery at least, I know it backs up your original recovery so you can just delete the cwm recovery.IMG, and rename the backed up recovery to recovery.img
Now do a factory reset, load into stock ROM and use your rooting app to unroot. Factory reset again and that should be that.
If not you may have trouble getting back to true stock, as many of the stock imgs that are around contain all bloatware removed which would require root, which should void the warranty if that's an issue for you..

i know for me i soft bricked when trying to install CWM recovery because i hadn't read about locked bootloader, and then unbricking doesn't bring you to a stock telus rom it brings you to stock at&t at which point it's impossible to backup stock telus rom.

i believe one of the ways to return to telus stock is by flashing a stock telus KDZ, i have never wanted to return to stock so i don't know the exact steps, what you need to do is find a telus kdz from a reliable source and make sure its for your model and everything, then read a guide how to flash kdz in order to return to stock you should be able to find guides on these forums if you can't then i'll try to help but i think they are easy to find

however if you want STOCK ICS experience i don't even recommend returning to telus stock rom.
if you go at&t ics rom it's better, but it has the same stability as the stock telus rom. the only thing it's missing is 2 or 3 telus apps, but you can find those and install them on your own if for some reason you need them.
the link to the rom i use when i want a stock rom that supports everything (including MHL) is this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980541
all you have to do is add Telus APN in order to get your data sms and mms working. this rom is 100% stable like stock rom all he did was remove bloat and crap you don't need, i also recommend installing the ICS wind kernel as your kernel, its far better than stock and 100% stable on a stock ics rom.
you want ics p930 3.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119976
unless you have an su640 if so get 3.6 ics su640
i'm also not sure if the rom i linked supports su640 u might want to check that if u have it before flashing.
i recomend using this rom because you can keep a recovery on your phone and still do backups and stuff that you can't do with a real stock rom, however this rom has everything that you would want a stock rom for.
you can also continue to test new roms as they come out until you find a custom rom you like (while still having a stock backup in CWM recovery to revert to in case needed)

Just download firmware from Sammobile and flash using Odin. Just a word of warning if you want to flash 4.3, it has KNOX and it is impossible to go back without triggering KNOX bit....

Hmm, I am not sure but I think that if you flash officail samsung ROM from Sammobile that it will flash even the stock recovery. I did that like once, that's why I'm not sure Can someone confirm?
i was sure Dr Ketan had a thread for it in the original android dev segment ...cant find it, it had the stock kernel, recovery, modem for MG1, had the prerooted MG1 file too
You should run triangle away before flashing the stock ROM. Flashing of stock ROM doesn't increase the counter.
Here is a link to a tutorial: http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...ootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/
Ill give it a crack later. Dont suppose theres any possible way to know if my phone was voda branded or unbranded when I got it? It did come in a normal samsung box but thats all ive got to go on lol - this would matter as to which firmware I download. Id probably be safer getting the vodafone one hey.
Ha theres another thing, I cant downgrade lower than dmg1 can I?
I guess if the model is n7100 there is no difference if it was Vodafone branded or not ? You need this for something specific ?
Yeah, I think that Note 2 was released with 4.1.2 originally.

Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II corrected me It was released with 4.1.1 initially.
But I don't think it will make you a difference.

Warranty. So I cant exactly pretend to have a valid intact warranty if it doesnt have a valid rom on it. Mine came with alij rom on it which is vodafone and android 411. I think the next release was a dmc and then mk9.
Doesnt overly matter now anyway, the problem I was having has gone away now
Glad that you've managed to solve the problem.

If you're on the LK3 bootloader and baseband, the simplest way to get to 4.4.2 would be to flash back to stock 4.1.1, unlock it using the free method if the phone is still locked, and run OTA updates until you are running the latest TW.

Thanks all. I was able to get it working successfully. Only thing is I cant seem to go past 4.3 via OTA. When I check for OTA (for 4.4.2) it says none exist. It wants me to try again in 24 hours but is it normal for it to take some time? Thanks
I have a friends tmo note2 running 4.12 w/root&twrp.is it safe to flash a current 6.01 rom.or should it be done in steps.any tips appreciated.thnx

I recommend installing the latest bootloader and modem before flashing a custom MM ROM. Easiest way to update both would be to flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com.
im running Revolution Remix, i didnt like Oct-M it was too dull, and I haven't tried any other. RR is a good daily driver, I was already running the current OTA 4.3. There is NO OPTIONS for kernel support on the Marshmallow ROMS, you must use the kernel that comes with it, and there is no overclocking options. That being said, it runs 1000 times better than the stock 4.3. I recommend you use TWRP. You can do this very easy by rooting with KingRoot, downloading the TWRP App, install, and reboot your recovery to flash your ROM, no USB needed, no confusing guides, no catch. Kingroot>TWRP>Wipe>Flash>GAPPS>Boot. You should be running the latest OTA when you do this. Bootloader is already unlocked unlike Verizon.

Also, do a nandroid backup before you do anything.
