Odin or not odin? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to u all. I need a little help in according with unroot procedure.
Well, I rooted my device without odin, but using a tool with mac, so flahing recovery.img with terminal and then flashing supersu with cwmd.
Right. Phone works good. I am still with stock rom. I would like to unroot the device for my reasons.
Could I unroot without odin. Having mac I am enable to run it. I read on play store that I can reset numbers of flashes and if I delete supersu, it become unrooted. But, with this procedure the device will give a state "custom" as well. So.....if someone could help me I will appriciate a lot

Heimdal is the procedure I did to root. With terminal, i wrote flash recovery revoery.img
But I don't know if it works with zip file.
In others words what format is the stock firmware?

Mobile odin back to stock.

I am stock and rooted. I woke up this morning with a CONGRATULATIONS!!! message saying there is an OTA for me... I tried to update and it wouldnt let me cuz im rooted...
I looked into it and found I could use mobile odin to unroot...
I have the app (mobile odin) I do not have the tar file. Is there a link handy?
With maybe a how-to?
Thx in advance

You can get all the FW and itas here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687
Just to clarify, Mobile Odin won't unroot you, but it will reinject root during flash so you stay rooted.
Also you can get the ota if rooted but if you don't have stock recovery, modem and everything else it'll fail.
Using Mobile Odin and the fw in my thread will work. Just make sure the Everroot options are selected to keep root.
Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper can temp unroot you so maybe that's what you were thinking of?

Well if your just trying to unroot, go into your root program and have it uninstall itself. SuperSU and SUperuser both support the ability for them to fully uninstall themselves.
Will just need to install root via recovery again once your updated.... Pretty easy
Wellllll... I got a super root kit from this site rooted just fine but removed it frim my computer avg said it was infected.
Is that what you mean forgive me for being nooby

Mobile Odin should support internal sd.... I guess you have the free version from his thread here? I didn't realize it didn't support internal...sorry bout that.
In that case just plug into the computer and use pc odin. You can use regular fw or MrRobinsons root66 fw which is pre-rooted. You can find his thread in development.

I am only focusing on your phone. IF your rooted, then you will have an app in your app drawer called either superuser or supersu (That is your root ) Open that and click full uninstall, then your unrooted.
When your done with the update, you can use Odin (Windows Version) to flash a custom recovery and then install the supersu.zip file located in chainsfire's thread.
I have superuser. I cannot find an option within the app to do a uninstall.

Why bother with OTA when you are rooted...there are a lot of custom ROMS with good potential
Well. With my galaxy s1 I did the whole flashing a new rom every week thing.. none of them worked properly... every rom had at least one problem wether it was wifi calling or gps or battery issues... I dont know convince me to start doing it again with jelly bean right around the corner

mobile odin now supports i317

Mobile Odin has just been updated to support i317 and also had some nice bug fixes. I've never used it but I'm sure its a good thing to have.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro.
Check it out for those who don't know about it. It won't increase the flash counter and it will root for you while flashing your recovery.tar. this is good if your a noob!
Nice. Thanks for posting. Seems like a useful app to have for flashing.

Do you need to root to use mobile odon and can you do full Rom backups (or is CWM the only way)?

The T999L is the Superior Cousin T999 never was. It has an LTE antenna that the T999 is missing. Practically all the Custom Roms will work fine from one to the other.
If you want to flash custom Recovery then use Goo Manager and hit Install Custom Recovery Script.
Yea already tried goo manager but it said no recovery scripts were found for your device

Don't worry the TWRP for SGH-T999 will work just fine for your device.Try this Link and get the TWRP version 2.5.0.0
Okay thanks will do.

You need to use ODIN to flash that Version. There's plenty of Tutorials on How to use ODIN.
I know how to use it, I tried it last night but everything fails.

Could be your Bootloader is locked.
Are you absolutely sure you are successfully Rooted ? Please use Root Checker App if in doubt.
When you tried to flash the Recovery via ODIN, what was the error ? Can you post a screenshot ?
With due respect "Everything Fails" doesn't really tell me squat.
I'll do that when i get back home.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda app-developers app
i tried it via odin again and it worked i have no idea what was wrong with it, thanks for finding those TWRP files for me.
Do a quick search before going any further. I have a T999L thread that answers most any question you may have.

Rooting without Odin

Is thwre a way to bypass odin and root with a pre rooted zip file or is osin the only way?
Sent from my SM-T217S using xda app-developers app
You need Odin or Heimdall (if on Mac)to install either twrp or cwm recovery. This does not root the device. A seperate zip file that must be flashed to root and is provided in your device specific root thread.
*edit this thread its reporting success without Odin or Heimdall but it's from China so may leave behind malware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403230

If you made a backupour stock rom after su setup and custom recovery then yes you can as long as you are on the same bootloader the stock rom was on. Just restore after a thorough full wipe and use the the triangle away tutorial from the point after you should have opined back to stock, installed custom recovery and su. But you should Odin back anyways because this is unfounded and gremlins don't like to be aborted. Just remember you want to send your phone in for warranty and you want to eliminate all modded softwares and Odin will eliminate the leftovers!
