[Q] Unroot SGH-I317

Does anyone know how to unroot AT&T Galaxy Note 2?? if so can you post the link.

If doing a factory test doesn't do it, you would need a stock ROM.

just rooted about an hour ago. did not flash no custom roms. it is still stock

Sometimes a factory reset will remove root, depending on the root method. If root was gained by a means that persists through factory reset, the only way to remove it is with a flash to a stock firmware.

If you want to be completely stock without losing data....
First flash cf auto root for stock recovery
Then download supersu again
Then download triangle away
Run triangle away as root
Then go to super su and full unroot
0 flash counter
Stock recovery
Unrooted
Profit.
Ps this took me 2 hours to figure without losing apps or data. So hit the thanks if it helped

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app

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:

Unroot and Flash Stock ROM

Hey Everyone,
I have a Note 2 for AT&T and yesterday it didnt work at all. It showed the Samsung logo while booting and it went away. It only does that when the battery is pulled. After a few hours I took it to the AT&T store and they ordered me a replacement but now the phone can be put into download mode and "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." but wont boot past that. I tried using Samsung Kies and nothing. When the replacement comes I will reject it because if I send my old one in they will void the warranty.
While using Odin I get the "Complete(Write) Operation Fails". This morning I downloaded a new firmware (hoping to be the right one) and will follow up.
Anybody have suggestions? :crying:

You say you tried kies ?
Did you try the updater?
Reason I am asking is because you should be using the EFR not the updater when using kies when your phone is bricked or w/e.
Updater wont fix anything.

You will need to flash rom from the link below cuz they are rooted already. Use triangle away to reset counters then unroot using superuser, go to recovery mode and do factory reset in stock recovery. Same steps above I used to put my phone back to official and removed custom / modified status.

Now how do I get the counter to say "No"

[GUIDE][HOW-TO] Return device back to stock 'Official'!

So you want to return back to stock huh? Maybe to get official software updates? Maybe you want to sell your device? Or turn it in for a warranty thing cause you decided to give your phone to someone while you were drunk and that person cracked your screen. Well in any case, here is how I returned my GS4 back to stock official!
*Warning: Using this method will wipe your internal SD Card so back up your photos, music, and other precious files on your computer!
As many of you may know, Chainfire has an awesome app called Triangle Away that will reset your flash counter and return your binary status to Offical! Well good, download it cause you will need it for this process.
Things you will need
-Triangle Away app! (Thanks to Chainfire!) Get it here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
-CF-Auto-Root! (Thanks to Chainfire again!) Get it here ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
-UVUAMDL Official TAR! (Thanks to k0nane!) Get it here ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628
Steps!
Step 0: If you haven't already backup your Internal SD on your computer!
Step 1: Place the Triangle Away app on your external SD Card!
Step 2: Using Odin, flash the UVUAMDL Official TAR following the instructions here. If you get stuck in a bootloop, do a battery pull, reboot to recovery, and wipe data/factory reset!
Step 3: With Odin, flash CF-Auto-Root to re-root your device!
Step 4: Install Triangle Away app and reset your flash counter! Follow the directions in the thread here.
Step 5: Once you have reset your flash counter, verify in Triangle Away that your flash counter is back to 0! (It should be at 0 because you should already be on stock recovery and kernel at this point).
Step 6: In SuperSU, perform a full unroot! This should uninstall SuperSU as well.
Step 7: Uninstall Triangle Away
Step 8: Verify that your device reads 'Samsung Official' for your Current Binary and 'Official' for System Status by going to Download Mode! Once complete do a battery pull and reboot your phone normally.
Step 9: Go to Settings > 'More' tab > About Device > Status > Device Status. If it reads 'Official' then you're lucky, congrats you are done! If not then don't worry, you are like me and have to perform the next step!
Step 10: Go to Settings > 'Accounts' tab > Backup and reset > Factory data reset. This will erase your internal SD Card!
Once completed your device status WILL read 'Official' and you will be able to receive Software Updates from Samsung once again! Hope I have helped you by returning your device back to unrooted Stock Official! Peace!

Yes, this is for T-Mobile. But if you use the CF-AUTO-ROOT and official firmware for that specific device's carrier I'm pretty sure it'll work.

If you never installed a custom rom or recovery but just used chainfire's CF-Auto-Root can you skip the first steps of flashing to stock firmware (UVUAMDL Official TAR) and just do steps 3-10?

As long as you're on stock rom, kernel, and recovery then yes. You can skip step 2.

Did you try factory reset from settings or restart phone and try again?

Well I tried restarting...changing time and date...clearing caches....
I hearh somewhere that the ota server searches..refreshes only once a day...I found ota yesterday 11 am...so waiting may be after that time it may show....after that I ll try all possible options.

Yes factory reset n then try but I would recommend a odin flash and why not go custom a step ahead and get all note 3 goodies with better support

well go through this and you are good to go further http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
in short what u need
samsung drivers and no kies install on pc(drivers available in the link
a custom recovery philz or twrp .tar file and use odin 3.07 to flash the recovery getting your phn in download mode if flashing recovery does not get you custom then
repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery)
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm
once u get custom recovery backup your complete rom to external sd and imp of all backup efs here are some method mentioned http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389426 keep it safe on pc
now all ready to rock and roll with custom rom my preference would be phoenix v15 or dn3 which is about to be uploaded in few hours and enjoy the latest note3 features.
and as far as a year goes with your phn i rarely care about breaking my phone the imp of all is to follow guide and no issue almost more than 3 years in xda and all good.
if any help needed shoot me a p.m and yes before doing anything just enable usb debugging on phn
