Flashing Recovery - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
On Sunday I'm getting my Note 2 N7100
I want to flash a costume recovery (CMW) and rom right away, but I'm not sure I can.
All I need is to flash the recovery (this for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000138), backup EFS and I'm ready to go?
And do I need SU for this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922473 or it can be preformed on a stock rom, with costume recovery?
And one last question, what is F. Reset time in ODIN?
Thanks!
NOTE: I know I can choose the easy way, and do everything using the toolkit, but I prefer to do it manually, so I could learn

[Q] must I root 4.3 (w/knox) to install custom rom?

I just got another Note 2 with the darn 4.3 and KNOX!
If I just want to install philz and a SynergyROm for 4.3, must I root ??
Thx!
Here's what you do. ..
1. Odin a recovery of choice.
2. Flash Billiards412 Rom restore . This removes Knox but doesnt reset knox.
3. Odin a recovery again of your choice. Since it gets removed
4. Flash Synergy.

I got as far as step 2, falshing 412, with philz. Now its bootlooping....and I cant seem to do anything. Pulling the battery doesnt help, it just does the same bootloop sequence when battery is reinserted.

Yes one of the joys of the phone not being locked down tight. I have had multiple htc phones and they were a pain. This was my first samsung and i have to say it is easy.
Only thing is when flashing new roms you will wont to make sure to wipe/format internal sdcard. For more info check out the guide in general section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50335424 While titled as 4.3 and 4.4 the steps should be used for all rom installs. Although the back to stock method is not allways required.

hello,
sure I'll have to flash the boot mj5 if you have not already installed and come 4.3.
mg1 is a modem, not a bootloader.
Steps you say are good for flash, keep the backups in the external sd card.
incuidos make full wipes and wipes internal sd car system and install from external sd card rom.
greetings and good luck

Don't flash bootloader first , back up your current rom and everything, make efs back up and such. Next you can either use latest Philz 6.26.6 or 6.41. Twrp use 2.7.0.2( whichever recovery you are comfortable with ). Do the wipes ( fully clean your internal memory ) If you need a guide on how to clean the phone using either of the recoveries click on my signature called JellyKat FAQ's you'll find the links to latest Recoveries as well as step by step instructions on how to flash bootloader and link to MJ5 bootloader ( it's a rar file , extract it and you'll get the .tar.md5 file and place that on Bootloader option in PC Odin). So after you've cleaned your phone flash the DN3 ROM let the phone boot up go through set up screen and such. Now your WiFi won't be working cause of old bootloader .so put your phone into download mods flash the new bootloader via PC Odin . Reboot and done. The only thing with MJ5 and other 4.3 bootloader is that you won't be able to charge your phone when powered off it reboots. If your warranty period is already over I suggest you flash the latest kitkat bootloader ND3 ( link to it is also in JellyKat FAQ - scroll to the bottom past version 5 and you'll find the newest bootloader). Only thing is that this is a Knoxed bootloader you can never go back to 4.1.2 only 4.4.2 or 4.3 ROMS would be possible . Good luck

You must flash thru recovery.
Here the installation steps, but first you must flash a custom recovery like this or other, its up to you.
Installation instructions
- Copy f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip to your SDCARD
- Reboot into CWM recovery
- Choose "Install zip from sdcard"
- Select f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip kernel and confirm installation.

Thank you so much So all i have to do is flash the recovery in Odin.. But since my s4 mini is rooted, do i have to install the S4Mini_RootKit_V2.zip?? i mean if I do, will it conflict with the SuperSU i have previously installed on my device? Or just overwrite it and work like a charm? Sorry I'm asking like too many questions, but since i'm new here i need some guidance
Btw, how do i know if my bootloader is unlocked? Before I buy this s4 mini i owned an Xperia go and to install a kernel i had to unlock the BL.. I don't know if the same thing applies for sammy devices, just asking:angel:

No, we have bootloader unlocked, so you don't need to unlock anything.
No, try with this recovery if you afraid to not doing some conflicts:
[i919x][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch
Download philz_touch_6.07.9-serranoltexx.tar.md5
boot into download mode
connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
press start to flash the tar.md5 package
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into main system and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing the 3 buttons combo to for a reboot into recovery.You should see the new CWM
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

So after i install the philz touch recovery, can i install ths deodexed rom http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/04/deodexed-and-rooted-stock-for-galaxy-s4-mini.html which comes with a custom kernel (vikinger)? will there be a problem with it because the rom is based on BML1 and my current fw is BNB3? thank you very much :silly:

Really, i don't know for sure, BUT in my previous phone (S Advance I9070) i have some errors when i flashed different baseband deodexed.
Make a nandroid backup after you have custom recovery, and you can try it. If something going wrong, restore your backup and all will just like before.

GT-N7102 recovery/rom help

hello everyone, i have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note II(GT-N7102 Daul sim) that i got from a friend of
mine. im not sure if its a clone or not but im having hard time putting in a custom recovery. the odin
method will not work nor will it go into odin mode and yes ive tried several different ways and it simply
will not work. ive been at this for about a week now.
so my question(s) at this point is:
1. Is there a flash-able recovery zip file that i can install via stock recovery?
2. Is it safe flash a custom recovery using the skipsoft tool kit via sideloader in the stock recovery(ADB)?
or
3. is it safe to install a custom recovery through the Rom Installer App?
morale of the story here folks is i just want put in a custom english rom but i cant do that without a custom recovery. and if anything i just want Gapps to work on my current rom(for now anayways)
also this probably off topic but i would like to know if theres a way to tell if i have a clone or not
your help and wisdom will be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!!
If u want try install recovery..try install twrp..

You must flash first custom recovery from Odin Other you can flash via recovery.
Also the newest I think 2.7.1.0
