I just successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 using Odin and CWM Recovery.
This is exactly what I did:
- D/L Odin 3.04 and "cwm6-root-note2.tar" and saved them to my Desktop
- Extracted Odin and started the program
- Set my Note 2 to USB Debugging
- Restarted the Note 2 in "Downloading Mode" by holding down Volume Down, Home & Power buttons simultaneously
- Connected usb cord to my phone and computer
- Confirmed that Odin registered connection of my phone correctly on COM port
- Went to PDA, then selected "cwm6-root-note2.tar"
- Then I selected start, or root or whatever starts the process. And voila! Rooted with CWM & SuperUser App.
However, I might be returning the phone so I now need to know how to reverse that process and UNROOT my phone. Can someone please help walk me through that process? Do I need to obtain more files that were overwritten or deleted when I rooted?
Also, I thought, perhaps, I could unroot using the SuperUser app so I chose the option that said something like "Unroot.... etc." All it did, however, was get rid of Super User because when I restart my phone in recovery mode, it still boots CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.4
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

You rooted Note 2 and not Note 2 LTE right? Keen to find out the solution for LTE version.

Thank you for your assistance. Which link do I download though? Are they all the same? Or do I need to find the link with the country I bought the phone in? If so, I didn't see Korea on that list at all.
Also, when I do this, will the counter be reset to zero?
Thanks again for your help.

Hi,
So you rooted a LTE version, can I ask which version did you have (SHV-E250S / SHV-E250K / SHV-E250L)?
Is it meaning the rooting process of LTE version is same as the non LTE (3G?) Note II?
Also, what is the reason of returning the phone? Did you find something not good with LTE?
Thank you.

I rooted a SHV-E250L. The process went very smoothly. Especially considering I'd never rooted a phone before. So, from my experience, it seems to be the same process but don't take my word for it.
The phone is awesome - no problems at all. It was just very expensive and I was having a little buyer's remorse. I'm over it now. I was also concerned about not being able to use it in the US when I move back, which I am still unsure about. I have asked a few developers on here but haven't heard back yet. If possible, I'd like to flash a US ROM on the phone so that I can use it on the networks there and access the unrestricted Google Play Store... so, we'll see.
Hope that helps.

I dont think these will work with your phone. These are for rhe N7100. Going by your recent posts, it looks like you have a different model.

Brian,
I am living in Korea as well and I have a lot of experience with the Korean smart phones.
To answer some of your questions, you can use them in the states with either a Stateside SIM (assuming your phone is unlocked, you can get it unlocked from the store if you're going to be traveling) or a Korean SIM (obvious roaming charges). I don't think the LTE bands are the same in SK and the US, therefore you wouldn't be able to use the LTE.
In my experience (with my SGS1) you won't be able to flash a US or Int'l ROM on your Korean model. The internals might be closer than the SGS1 and it's variants were but I wouldn't do it unless you have the Note2 Korean ROM ready to flash back with Odin in the event it won't boot.
You can get unrestricted Play Store access now. You need to download MarketAccess. Google it. it Allows you to basically tell the phone what network it thinks it's on.
In the event you ever need to unroot your phone, you just need to use Odin to flash the official firmware.
If you need anything else, let me know...

Most likely Tegrak will have a kernel for this device before too long. You would then be able to use the Odin software to root the phone. The process is the same for both.

Thank you so much for the answers. I really appreciate it. So, you're saying for sure I will not be able to use this phone's LTE capabilities in the US on any network? If so, that's a huge game changer for me... I wonder what LG U+'s return policy is... I know I can just transfer the phone to someone else here in Korea when I leave and pick up a Note 2 in the states when I go back but I feel like I'd be losing a lot of money since the cost of the phone is spread out amongst the monthly payments here in Korea. Are there any phones that will work work both on SK LTE and US LTE?
Regarding un-rooting my phone, don't I need to get a hold on the official firmware before I can flash it with Odin? Or is it stored somewhere on my phone? All the official firmwares I've seen on XDA are for the N7100 not the N7105. Any suggestions?
Thank you, again, for all your support. You rock!

No problem, glad to help.
I am also looking for the firmware online. I haven't found it yet. PM me your email and when I find it, I'll send it over to you.
All info I have read says LTE is different. The 3G would still work just no LTE.
Idk what LG's policy is, but you could take it to Samsung a/s in the electronics market to revert it if needed.
Good luck. I might know someone who could take the phone of your hands next year if you want to go that route.

Good info here. But what about his flash counter? Will that be reset to zero by flashing stock from via Odin?

Flash counter didn't exist when I was tinkering with me s1. I'll have to investigate. I would imagine there will be a way to revert it. I also would guess the Samsung a/s could do it?

SHV-E250S problem.
Hello SHV-E250S/K/L users.
Does anyone know where I can download an official factory stock ROM for my SHV-E250S ?
I have an IMEI missing issue, and EFS file deleted issue. After wich i have a black notice on the screen and no boot logo or turn of logo, it just switches straight away after pressing the button.
No network or IMEI(((
I just came back from the Samsung official service center, and guess what, they can`t help me. They say i need to flash an original factory rom, i even brought them the two roms i downloaded from the: www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SHV-E250S&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
And they said that these are not official factory roms, that they are custom, all thaw when i flash with one them, and go to recovery mode, my current binary changes to official. Don’t know why but everything else stays the same:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SHV-E250S
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (37 counts)
CURENT BINARY: Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
DON`T KNOW HOW TO FIX, AND WHERE TO GET FACTORY ROM((((
Would appreciate any help!

I love the theme but for some reason it doesnt recognize I have a sim card installed.
did i accidentally fry my SIM during installation?
or are there some settings for AT&T I need to make?
any help/direction would be appreciated
thanks
and to make matters worse CWR cant find my backup file.

or fix the sim issue?
PLEASE

what is the best way to get back to out of box condition? (if I cant get the sim issue resolved)
I have tried a few stock root updates through ODIN and I keep getting errors. I think its because the firmwares are diffrent regions than my origonal USA AT & T.
please

ok seriously, I'll pay $$$ to anyone who can help me fix this
If anyone can help me fix this I will pay pal you $50
You flashed a ROM that's intended for international note 2 (N7100) on your US variant note 2 (N7105). There's your problem. The modem for US phone is different than international since US has LTE and International doesn't.
What you need to do is..
Go to samfirmware.com
Create an account and search for AT&T US N7105 note II firmware and download it.
Go into download mode on your phone and use odin to flash the firmware into your phone. And next time if you're going to flash something make sure it was made for the phone you're using.

Was there a box that the phone came in? Usually somewhere on that you can find something that looks like the software version that came on the phone originally. I know the standard S3 has that and I'll go out on a limb to assume that this one has it as well, if you have the box. Outside of that, not sure what else to tell you.
Good luck!

2-You need to enable USB debugging mode (Settings>Developer options) which is deactivated by default. - I cannot access it as I can`t get into my phone.
Those firmwares can go fine with any I8190 - wife`s phone has N at the end of model.
Also - ODIN doesn`t see my phone, even its in Odin mode and Samsung USB drivers installed.

Plugged USB cable in another USB port and ODIN can see my phone. Now, just need to know - can I flash any ROM or only one it came from factory with?
I don't see any firmwares for Nairobi and not sure I would flash one in any case, did you happen to check what version of android was on it when u got it? I know on my G III I can flash any I747M firmware and they all load and boot fine my concern us that you get the right radio and if I had to guess I would use I8190NXXAMG1, hope that helps, when u have Odin started on your desktop and plug in your phone in d/l mode it does not show your phone?

Yes, Odin is able to communicate with the phone based on the screenshot.
Any idea where to download ROM ?
Download links have been restored on sammobile for the UK rom I just checked it for uk (2)

Hi,
Can anyone help... I bricked my S20 Ultra SM-G9880 and tried using odin3 to flash firmware but it is asking for the Super Image so fails the process.
It say on screen; An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software but when I download this it says the S20 is not compatible.
Please can anyone help it was a lot of money?

first off, what did you do to brick an expensive phone? Is it because you can't wait for the update to come along that you tried switching different Firmware without back reading some threads beforehand?? i'm not here to offend you or belittle you, in fact we have the same device and variant, HK- SM-G9880 to be precise.

I was trying to change rom to HK instead of Taiwan because I thought it might get rid of the chinese writing and be more western friendly... Wasn't really thinking... it was an expensive mistake.
Is there away to fix?

You probably have to read this topic about samkey so just dig this thread and read about the samkey. How it can fix your phone depends on what youll choose otherwise i can still suggest using samsung switch from pc and do an emergency installation but as always find a topic about it first and do the most suitable thing for you.

Hi thanks for comment... I flashed odin but it didn't remove lock. Maybe because it is a modern phone? I have given it to a local phone repair shop so hopefully they will fix for me.

Hi Folks,
I posted this thread and just wanted to thank everyone who offered advice. I have managed to fix the phone now.
I flashed latest firmware with Odin and included .PIT file i extract from the CSC file.
So pleased to have it back!
Many thanks to @[email protected], this method worked as a charm.
