Been seeing a lot of post about how to install OTA with a rooted stock ROM. This is by far the easiest way for people to update and not lose any data. All are done using Odin 3.07 on Windows 7 and not going to link it or how to use it lots of tutorials out that show you.
To put in Download Mode -> Vol Down + Home + Power
To Boot into Recovery -> Vol Up + Home + Power
Things needed:
ROM
CWM-Recovery
Root zip file
ROMS
NOTE: These are the FULL firmware of LH1 and NOT small OTA. This is good to have as a backup should something go wrong.
Bell
Telus
Rogers
Sasktel
CWM-Recovery
See Attached, this is an Official CWM from CWM team. If you don't want to use this use whatever recovery you want or had before.
Root: MOVE THIS TO PHONE STORAGE
Chainfire SuperSU
1.) Boot into recovery and create backup, always better to backup
2.) Unzip firmware file and you will see 2 files a dll and md5. The one we need is the md5
Im with bell so mines is -> KIES_HOME_I747MVLALH1_I747MOYCALH1_20120814.100513_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
3.) Put phone into download mode
4.) Load Odin select PDA and select the firmware file you unzipped in step 2. The MD5 file.
5.) Let the phone do its thing and do not touch it until you are at the lockscreen.
7.) Boot into download mode again and select PDA and this time select the recovery tar file
8.) Uncheck F. Reset and flash
9.) Once back on the lockscreen go into Recovery and install the CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip to root from phone storage.
10.) Get Triangle Away from here and reset counter.

Instructions are in his OP. I have pasted below:
7.) In Odin: Boot into download mode again and select PDA and this time select the recovery tar file (he has attached odin flashable cwm tar in the op)
8.) Uncheck F. Reset and flash
After that you will have CWM. Go to step 9 if you want to root and install SuperSU.
I already updated via Kies and of course now lost my root. If I follow this method (now, after the update) will I get root back or is there another method you guys would recommend? Thanks

You have essentially completed steps 1-5 above using Kies. Go to step 7 (6 is missing) and follow instructions to flash the CWM tar file attached in OP via ODIN and the supersu zip via CWM and you are done.
I was about to follow the video guide found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728824 which shows you how to root and install CWM without tripping the flash counter. Can I follow his installation instructions, but instead use the rooted stock Telus rom linked to in this thread? I assume that if i follow the guide in his thread and use the files he links to, I will end up re-flashing the stock 4.0.1 rom instead of the new 4.0.4, which I want to keep.
Plus I want to have CWM and not trip my flash counter so I dont need to bother with Triangle Away.
This is my first time rooting or flashing anything to my phone, so my apologies for my extreme n00bness. Thanks

If you use the rooted ROM in the other thread you will have that version and not the August LH1 update, remember the ones i linked are full stock firmware. Maybe someone will create a stock rooted flashable odin tar, but you really dont need it. Just flash using the above steps and use Triangle Away. Triangle Away although dangerous does no harm at all, its a simple apk file that installs like any other app, once you confirm it is displaying the correct model (our is I747M) then just hit the reset counter and let it do its thing and then you can uninstall it simple as that.
No point in waiting for someone to create a no trip counter file because that is much hard to do. Plus the only reason I think the first ones where like that was because Triangle Away did not fully support the I747M.

The thread for the no trip method referred to in that video is here. The OP in that thread is still working on root injected versions for the new Canadian firmwares, the ones currently in the OP are the old versions. He can create them quickly, I think he is just waiting for volunteers to mirror the files. Keep checking and when you see a Telus version up ending in LH1, you are good to go.
Thanks OP, that works just fine to reroot my phone and reset the trip counter!
I have a rogers Galaxy SIII if that could help anyone!

Dont worry man then, you are on process to learn . Download stock rom from wildchild forum on development section and flsh via odin in download mode.
If you have external memory card download any rom you want from development section and place it on external memory card (via computer of course ) and flash on CWM.

That's the first thing I did when I got my S3 lol. Dont worry, it's an easy fix. Just use the instructions on VibrantThemer's third link, but use the file from his second link instead of the CWM file they are talking about and it will put you back to stock. The first link is the program you use to do it all. :good:
Edit: Odin also comes with the toolkit you used to root, so you don't really need to download it. Just go to the folder where you extracted it and open Odin
That's not really bricked. Your n00b kungfu is weak. Odin back to stock. Or just Odin a stock ROM with root already injected. Done & done.
I was going to say the same

If you can get in then all is good
If you still have access to CWM, you could just flash a Custom ROM of you choice then and there. They way you won't have to ODIN back to stock and re-root again.
Hello I know there is a lot of guides but with the different rising number of users lurking among the community I thought it'd be nice to release a guide with how to update to the official Virgin Mobile GB28 (4.1.2), as well root it manually.. because hell I love doing things manually.
Legal: I'm not held responsible if you manage to somehow lose connection between your device and computer within the process or if for some freak reason your device choose to blow up because it was a sleeper cell! =))
How to update manually:
Step 1:
Have a stable USB cord and a reliable power supply!
Step 2:
Download and install the Virgin Mobile USB drivers for the samsung galaxy S2 if you have no samsung drivers installed currently. Also, Reboot your PC after installing the drivers.
Click this text to download drivers!
Step 3:
Download a reliable Odin version such as 3.04! I personally use this version linked blow. Don't forget to extract the folder as it is zipped.
Click this text to download odin 3.04!
(Thanks to Rwilco12 for download link!)
Step 4:
Download the Virgin Mobile tar file for GB28 from the download link below:
GB28 Tar download here!
Step 5:
Open up odin, click the "PDA" option and select the tar you downloaded name "SPH-D710VMUB.GB28.tar"
Step 6:
Put your phone into download mode.
Step 7:
Confirm phone is connected to odin (It'll shown a com:6 or so in yellow), and press start!
Step 8:
Once it is done flashing you'll be done.
How to root GB28
Step 1:
Download a kernel with a recovery such as GB27 repacked found in the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2193849
Step 2:
Download SuperSU v1.25 via link below and move it into your internal memory or micro sd card.
http://download.chainfire.eu/315/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip
Step 3:
Open up odin and select the "PDA" slot, then select the GB27 kernel tar. Once selected press "Start".
Step 4:
Once phone reboots turn off phone and reboot into recovery (Vol up+Power button).
Step 5:
Click install zip and select choose from internal or sd card option, then choose the SuperSU file named "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip".
Step 6:
Once file is flashed, reboot phone and enjoy! =)
Step 7:
Flash back to Stock GB28 Kernel if you wish to using the flashable zip below:

Yes, you will retain root. You'll just be replacing the custom recovery with Stock. If you want the options to do such things as make a nandroid backup, flash zips, etc, you'll need to flash a custom recovery to do so. I do know Garwynn is working on a source Kernel with Agat's recovery and will be posted once he get's it completed.

To have a recovery again just flash the GB27 repacked kernel or the GB28 repacked. I'm not sure if they're released yet repacked for boost and virgin mobile repacked

Being that the GB28 link is the low ship tar, no, you shouldn't have to roll backwards to flash that in Odin. You are advised to backup everything prior, as with any flashing. I haven't seen comments on the internal memory being wiped with this so, until someone confirms that the tar doesn't, assume that it will and save everything just in case.
If you plan on using Kies to update, you will need to be on a stock official build.
Hi. I have succeeded with all the steps listed above except for step 7. How exactly would you flash back to kernel GB28? Sorry, I am kinda a newbie in this field.

If you want to go back to GB28 then download the zip and put the GB28 zip on the internal storage of your phone or the sdcard if you have one and flash it through recovery.

When you open Odin and plug the phone in via usb does the box on the top left of Odin say "com" then a number? If it doesn't say "com' and a number then Odin is not recognizing your phone and you should reinstall drivers.
I NOW HAVE ROOT AND RECOVERY!
Thanks to mariostar32 and krankdroid!
Hi all,
I've just bought a Note II and am trying to get root. I've followed this tutorial carefully
HTML:
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-on-linuxubuntu/
and everything completes without error, but whenever I try and boot into recovery it just get a garbled Samsung boot logo and it never gets to recovery.
Now I can't go back to stock updates since my device has been modified, so I'm commited to getting root and custom recovery now.
Can anyone help me with what is going wrong?
Thanks
download the last version 4.1.2 and flash it via odin. If you need any help tell me.

I can no longer download updates from Samsung since I have tried to root it already.
I can't use Odin since I don't have Windows.
I have tried the method in the link above using Heimdall (Odin equiv. for Linux) and everything went fine (no errors, terminal output was as expected) but cannot get into any recovery (stock or custom)
Before you proceed with tutorial, make sure:
You have installed your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 USB drivers on your PC.
You need to enable USB debugging mode which is deactivated by default.
You smartphone should have 70-80% charge remaining.
Your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 should be factory unlocked.
Backup your important data like Call logs, SMS and other data in stored in phone memory so in case if anything goes wrong, your data is not hurt.
The update is only meant for Galaxy Note 2 N7100, so don’t try it on other variants.
Step 1) Download Android 4.1.2 XXDLK7 for Galaxy Note 2 N7100. " I can't post outside links so type in google galaxy note 2 xxdlk7 "
Step 2) Download ODIN v3.07. It's an old version but you can download a newer version of odin from google but it works np
Step 3) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button until you see Android logo with triangle on screen.
Step 4) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 to your computer.
Step 5) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn yellow and will show the COM port number.
Step 6) Select the downloaded file to install by following below steps:
Click on PDA and select file with HOME or CODE in its name.
Now click on Phone and select file with MODEM in its name.
Next click on CSC and select file with CSC in its name.
At last click on PIT and select file with .pit.
Step 7) Again to to ODIN window and check Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options.
Step 8) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the installation process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
Step 9) When the installation is completed, your phone will restart. I hope that i helped you GoodLuck

I've found the TWRP for the Note II:

Does anyone know if I flash the latest .img file from that using Heimdall will that give me a recovery to then install Super-SU from?
I've only just bought this phone and can't afford to buy another if I brick it, so I'm hesitant to just try without some expert knowledge.
you must be rooted first before putting twrp.

The only Linux tutorial I've found doesn't work since I can't get a working recovery in order to install Super-SU and get root.
Is there another way to get root? Or another method that might give me a recovery so I can get root?

This is a stock MI7 tmobile firmware downloaded from sammobile and rooted using URDLV.
I am uploading this to those who don't want to(or don't know to) use cygwin to generate the rooted firmware described in the root de la vega thread.
None of this is my work, All CREDITS GOES to designgears
If you follow the instructions properly, this is will not set your KNOX flag , THIS WILL NOT RESET IF IT'S ALREADY SET.
Instructions
1. Open ODIN, make sure Re-Partition is unchecked. Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time must be checked.(you can get ODIN from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539)
2. Connect your phone to your PC and reboot it to the download mode(Volume Down+Home+Power keys simultaneously).
3. Once ODIN shows your device connected(ID-COM bar lit up and log says 'Added')
4. Drop the unzipped downloaded Rom( N900TUVUBMI7_N900TTMBBMI7_N900TUVUBMI7_HOME_VEGA.tar.md5 file) in the AP slot, and click start.
5. It takes a while, once its completed, device will reboot and ODIN will show 'PASS' in green.
6. Now download the root_de_la_vega_sdcard.7z file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46818366
7. Unzip it and place the contents(a root_de_la_vega.sh script file and root_files folder) in the root of your phone memory(internal storage).
7. Reboot.
8. Delete the newly added files(a root_de_la_vega.sh script file and root_files folder) and Reboot again
You are done!! , Now you are Rooted and stock.

This was tested only by me and it worked for me without any issues , no force closes or anything. My phone also came with MI7, i don't know if it will work if your phone came with a different firmware.

None of this is my work, All CREDITS GOES to designgears

I wonder why this stock Odin flash firmware is only approximatly 1/2 the size
of the official stock Note 3 N900T MK2 firmware found on SamMobile.com?
If all that's been done to it is root, it should be about the same size.
Thanks!

You are right about bmi7 for tmobile, but I was wondering why designgear's odin flash
rooted is so much smaller than the SamMobile official stock firmware.
If designgear's is also supposed to be stock firmware it should be about the same size
as the official stock firmware at sammobile.
Size is different because its a zip file, if you unzip it will be same 1.84 gb file.

My buddy just got a T-Mobile Note 3 about 4 hours ago with MI7 firmware and want to know if I would root it for him (note: he didn't care if Knox was tripped or not, not something he will ever use), so I figured I'd try the instruction you've posted here to see if would trip Knox or not.
I can say that this DOES work, Knox still at 0x0
Time to de-bloat this sucker :-]
Thanks for this...
Surprised this hasn't gained more attention...

I was able to locate a copy of the file via Google and flashed it last night, then rooted. Got that done so then I used my Google backup to restore my phone. Is there any real harm in flashing back to the stock version then going back to rooted later, as long as I haven't done any system updates? I ask because Isis still complains about being rooted, and it was a PITA to get it working on my VZ Note 2. Since I can't nandroid back and forth between roms like on the Note 2, I have to use Odin and flash firmware. They have to make such a production out of it-I miss fastboot and flashing ROM's till all hours of the morning!

The development for the AT&T I747 has been discontinued by the developer. Thank you for your support.
WARNING: YOU WILL PROBABLY BRICK YOUR PHONE! The possibility is very real. Samsung made it difficult to update the firmware with the introduction of Knox.
This is a full firmware update!
I'm not the best at giving directions. I do expect a certain level of knowledge and skill on your end.
I did try my best to safeguard you from bricking your phone. The install scripts will fail with an error 7 if something is wrong.
More then likely if it fails... you are on very old firmware version. I suggest you double check your bootloader version and if it is older then the latest Odin update available on http://www.sammobile.com/devices/specs/SGH-I747/ Update to DLK first.
Or try updating the firmware incrementally. If your firmware is MJ2 or below, it is safe to flash any previous firmware without fear.

Need a 16 gig AT&T I747 with a custom recovery.
usb debugging turned on.
adb and a rooted device.
proper drivers for phone installed on your pc
Knowledge of flashing and using Odin.
Checking the bootloader.
If your not sure what bootloader your on.
Code:
adb shell
getprop ro.bootloader
exit
exit <--- the second exit is to completely terminate the shell connection.
Or in a terminal emulator on your phone.
Code:
su

1. In a custom recovery flash MJB bootloaders https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319197285
Reboot phone fully then reboot back into your custom recovery.
2. In a custom recovery flash the MJB to NE4 firmware update. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358559161
3. Wipe and install UCUFNE4 in custom recovery.

4. (Optional) Flash the stock recovery in your custom recovery. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23681161096070493
While working with spagman72 on debricking devices we figured out no amount of ODIN will be as effective as a full wipe in the stock S3 recovery.
A wipe in the stock S3 recovery will also fix any sdcard encryption issues as well.
Now reboot back into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.
5. Use Odin and flash your preferred custom recovery again.
Hey man! Nice write up! Does this modded ota preserve root? Ive been trying to get one working all day here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53554046
For some reason it keeps failing to flash. My first attempt was in post #47 of that thread, but TWRP gave an error that the binary was incompatible (or something to that effect).
I changed the updater-binary but it still isnt working. Did you change yours? Just curious if you had any ideas. If yours preserves root though, I guess I don't need to worry about it anymore, but still wondering why it wouldnt work. If you have any thoughts I would love to hear them!
Thanks!

I didn't miss anything did I? [emoji3]
it's important that the directions are followed to a t.
I didn't replace the binary I only renamed the file and the extension from cfg to zip. then I just deleted the checks in the installer script. I didn't see anything that would get rid of root but with as easy as it is to obtain again it's really a moot issue.

Sorry, I might not have been completely clear. It wasn't yours that didn't flash, it was min in the thread I linked. Was just trying to understand why my own modded versions don't work.
The first attempt I only preserved root, and removed the recovery flash. That one was reported to error due to the binary.
Replaced it with a different binary and it seems to have other issues now. (I tried replacing the binary in one and another also removed all the file checks.)
You're right about rooting being easy enough. Just didn't think it'd be so problematic when I started with it. Anyway, no worries. Don't want to take your thread off track any more than I already have!
THANK YOU!!!
A million thanks for the easy to follow write up! I've been waiting for this for what seems like forever lol.On the last steps now and everything has been smooth as butter. More or less.
Is this a stock firmware can I jus install it in recovery mode if I don't wanna backup

This is how I updated to 4.4.2
Need a device with a custom recovery.
usb debugging turned on.

If your not sure what bootloader your on.
Code:
adb shell
su *grant super user permission on phone.*
getprop ro.bootloader
exit
exit
Or in a terminal emulator on your phone.
Code:
su
getprop ro.bootloader
Step 1: Backup
Backup your internal Sdcard.
Backup all personal info, apps, data, pictures, ect...
If your already on MJB bootloaders continue to step 4
Step 2: Custom recovery.
were going to go ahead and use Odin 3.0.7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722686
and were going to use TWRP 2.6.3.1 just because I know it works. http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar
Make sure phone is in download mode. With power off. Hold Volume down, Home, and Power till you see a warning screen. Then press up or adb reboot bootloader
Open Odin
Load the TWRP tar file in the pda slot and then press start and wait for phone to reboot.
Enter recovery by holding Volume up, Home and Power or adb reboot recovery
Step 3: Flash MJB bootloaders.
If your not already on the I747UCUEMJB bootloaders then you need to update them first.
Flash this in the custom recovery we just flashed.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319197285
Reboot your phone. Hopefully all is well and your on the new bootloaders. Check again by using the code above.
Step 4: Flash stock tar file.
Download 4.3 tar http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407590581
Unzip the file and you will find I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Reboot your phone into download mode.
Open Odin 3.0.7
IMPORTANT! Make sure only Auto Reboot and Re-Partition are checked.
Check and load the tar.md5 file in the PDA slot. Wait a minute till its done verifying the md5
Start flash and wait till the phone reboots.
You can go through the set up once the phone boots up if you want and get it out of the way.
Step 5: Flash custom recovery.
Reboot phone into download mode and repeat step 2.
Step 6: Flash OTA.
Reboot into TWRP 2.6.3.1 and flash this modified 4.4.2 OTA zip
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358549454
If you want root continue to step 7
At this point once you reboot you will have a phone that is now completely updated to TW 4.4.2
Step 7: Root.
Before you reboot out of recovery flash SuperSu.
http://download.chainfire.eu/450/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip?retrieve_file=1
Step 8: Reboot.
Reboot your phone and verify the update.
Step 9: Flash custom recovery.
If you want a custom recovery...
Reboot phone into download mode and repeat step 2. Except this time use whatever recovery you prefer.
Or if you rooted you could use GooManager or ROM Manager to flash TWRP or CWM.

Will this wipe out internal SD or just overwrite?
Thanks.
Never mind my question. I followed steps 2 and 6 and was able to update my phone to 4.4.2. Thank you enewman17 and DocHoliday77 for all the help.
thanks.
After several unsuccessful tries at updating with the OTA, I used this routine and I have successfully updated to 4.4.2.
I had gone back to stock 4.3 using the routine in enewman's thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486 I tried with the phone rooted and unrooted. With CWM recovery and stock recovery. The phone would find the OTA update when checking for update and it would download. When I tried to run the update it would get to 24% and then fail. This morning I found this guide and found success.
Thanks enewman for providing this guide.

if fails because it looks at the bootloader for the warranty bit info. when it sees it is tripped it stops. 24% is around that time in the script when it checks that after verifying the system integrity.

Should be fine. Worst that will happen is you'll have to go back on this when it hangs on boot or doesn't get signal/wifi.
