Don't believe this is an update. This is simply the stock firmware that came with the phone. It might come in handy if/when something goes terribly wrong and a backup won't fix your issue.

I'm curious if by flashing this it resets the Device Status to "Factory Mode" for those of us who rooted and run into a situation where it needs to be taken back to the store.

I'm not exactly sure if this is the stock tar or not.....
BUT if it is, you should be able to just restore your stock nandroid and pull out the recovery file and put that in the pda slot of odin.
Or just put the entire tar in the pda slot... looking for some confirmation on this

I'm just concerned about whether that Device Status field in the About Phone settings is something that is stored underneath the OS and can't be changed once you flash something. This would be an easy indicator that the phone has been messed with and clear void of warranty for normally clueless reps even if you do a return to stock type flash. Before I rooted, it said "Factory Mode“ but now says "Modified“. I haven't touched anything else other than flashing CWM and Superuser.

Unroot Note II?

Hey guys
I recently rooted my Galaxy Note II but now that the multi-screen update is out I want to unroot it to be able to update my mobile phone. How can I do so without re-flashing my device? I also looked for the newer build that contains the multi-screen functionality but I couldn't find the one for my region (UAE). So please if anybody finds it please post the link because I think it would be so much easier and faster...

I am afraid I was on the same position like yours and I did unroot, just go to SU and select the option to Unroot and SU will be uninstalled and your device will be unrooted for sure but some trace will still be there and device status will stay as 'Custom'. Even if you use the Play Store version of Trinagle Away and reset the counters! To make it official either you have to perform a Full wipe, if that don't do it, then you have to re-flash the whole ROM.
Unless and until your device status and binary both are Official you WON'T be receiving any update via OTA or Kies.

Hi there
If you are rooted you can still get Over The Air updates so dont worry
You can find all stock ROMs here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
And there is no need to Unroot to flash a newer version of stock ROM. Unroot or keep rooted, flashing a rom will have the same effect, and updare over the air will have sane effect :good:
Hit thanks if i helped

I can absolutely confirm no need to unroot - I rooted mine immediately I received it last week, after a couple of days it automatically updated ota to multiscreen.

Thats wrong.
I myself have updated OTA with root.
And its also wrong that you will not get OTA update. Lol we even get OTA updates on totally customized Custom Roms but they cant be updated because of change kernel (and changes in rom ofc).
And lol he is quoting dr.ketan and saying that he is wrong. dr.ketan is a recognized contributor so he would be correct or this person? i stand and testify dr.ketan's statement

No need to bash me friend. I am not questioning anybody, I just asked 'why'? I don't think it's unfair. And I am not the ONLY person. I have see other persons have the exact same problem like me.
And another thing, do you really think this RC/RD/Thanks meter stuffs mean that much? I am not questioning Dr.Ketan's credibility by ANY MEANS but you know what I mean!
One thing, what I've said is applied to them who have rooted with either Chainfire's Stcok recovery or Chenglu's Advanced recovery, can't say about any other thing.

Hi guys,
I have just unrooted my device Galaxy Note 2. I also use the triangle away to reset the counter and now the counter is now "NO". the system status is official. But when I connect the device with Kies and it says "your firmware is not supported to update via Kies", anybody experience that problem? I'm using the latest stock room.
When i check the update on my device, it stated the lastest update has been installed my device
Please help

Q: Touch doesnt work anymore all of sudden but can still use the spen.

i bought a note 2 32gb 2 weeks back and all of a sudden the touch doesnt work anymore..i tried resetting and flashing the os to stock and still doesnt work..and the other thing is since i bought this while i was overseas in UAE, i cant do anything in australia..they kepy insisting that i go back to UAE...any suggestions or advice?:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

anyone? >:

The S-Pen and touchscreen work with two different systems.
Appearently your touchscreen are either damaged, or the drivers are not working properly.
Perhaps try a factory reset, or download the latest firmware again?

i have tried that but when i type the code for hard reset with the dial pad it kept saying invalid code. >: i assume there isnt a way to download the drivers?

Oh, sorry I didn't read your post close enough. Then I don't know any good options.

Just a question? Have you done anything else than using OTA or upgrades by Kies? Trying Emergency Firmware upgrade or what ever it says in Kies might restore stuff that Factory restore does not, I guess.

Tried everything with no results...I believed the problem started with chainfire...

Enter into recovery by pressing volume up + home + power botton
Then do a factory reset from there
Hope that helps

The only thing using Chainfire 3D could do is cause you to bootloop (as its not working on jellybean!).
It couldn't mess your touch screen.
Also nothing that CF3D does will survive a factory reset, and or full ODIN flash.

Try again that same chainfire download with reloading it from web, possibly bad download.

Lost Update on Note II and Can't get it back! Help!

Hello, a couple of days ago I received a pop-up notification in my notifications bar that said an update was available for my device. This was on Wednesday. Since I was at school, I was unable to update at the time since I didn't have access to WIFI and had two tests to write. During my tests I had to turn off my phone. When I did, I guess the update disappeared because when I turned my phone back on it never came back! I tried going into "settings", "about", "software" and hitting "check for updates", but it just keeps checking for updates continuously and never actually finds one. I really want that update! How can I get it back?
I'm on Rogers, and my model number is I317M. Anything else you need to know, just ask. I really want my update back! Please help, and thank you in advance!

Maybe it was pulled by your carrier or Samsung.
Try kies to update. But you'll have to download the whole rom again then. Also you can try sammobile for latest rom.
If you are on pre dll7 do it asap.

Hello, thanks for your response. So if I try updating using Kies, I'll have to download my rom again (meaning I'd lose all my data)? I don't want to lose all my data! What is pre dll7? I'm actually on a rooted stock rom, does that make a difference? Sorry I just got this phone a couple of months ago, so I'm still new to it. Thanks!

Pre dll7 means the firmwares released before dll7 like dll4 and dll5 and all starting from a. No you won't loose data.
It's just like a normal update just you have to download the whole firmware of 1gig again.

Which update ?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Try clearing data from
Setting - application manager - all - software update (both)
Sometime it may able to get ota again
But even after getting update it will install successfully is a big question if your device is rooted.

I'm not sure since I lost the update before being able to check it out, but I'm assuming it is the "multi-window" feature that many other Samsung Galaxy Note II phones have recently received, as it was a software update. Has your phone received it yet?

Okay, so I should try clearing the data through the applications manager? You said both, but I saw you only mentioned clearing "software update" data, what do you mean? And I assume "ota" is the update, correct?
Why would having a rooted phone prevent me from receiving an update? When I had a Sony Xperia X10, it was rooted and I still received updates. I also have never heard of rooting impeding updates in any way. Was I misinformed??

you may see 'software update' application two times under application manager, i said clear data for both
yes, you are mis informed at least you have heard such things for Note 2.

Galaxy Note 2 Says Phone is up to date with 4.1.1 JB instead of 4.1.2

Hi I recently just bought a Galaxy Note 2 and noticed it was on 4.1.1 JellyBean and know that there's suppose to be a 4.1.2 update out for the major Samsung phones. I went to Settings- About Device- Software Update- Check For Updates and it says "Current software is up to date". Anyone know what the problem could be?

Since your trying to update the stock firmware. You can just go to Sam mobile and grab it from there.
Go HERE:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Where is you'll just be putting an updated stock firmware!! Instructions are all there!
But you can also root the device then just flash you a custom AT&T 4.1.2 stock Rom and be good to go. And you'll be better than stock any day!

That doesn't have the 4.1.2 update. I've tried updating using Samsung Kies but it it shows like it's about to start updating and then the application forces close. I have no idea why the Kies application would be forcing close.

Try the date and time trick ..
Set the device date ahead 1 day and try the update again ..
The ATT servers are touchy...and sometimes won't function properly ..
Another question ...
Is the device completely stock ??
Basically you must have the stock 3e recovery or the update will fail...g

Phone was rooted and I unrooted it. Also I haven't setup the SIM card since the phone isn't unlocked not sure if that's the problem. When I tried again to update it said Software Update Interrupted try again in 48 hours blah blah blah.

Carrier detection may be part of the problem ...
And depending on the return to stock method you used ...
The device may have files or a dirty area that the update app doesn't like ...
If you are wanting to run the device fully stock ...then try the unroot again ...
I'm thinking it's dirty somewhere ...g

I doubt it's still rooted because under device status it says Normal which if I'm not mistaken means there's nothing wrong or tampered with. Maybe it's just that I have to unlock it before I can update it.

After countless hours of searching and trying multiple different ways to update I realized I chose the wrong update file from stockroms. The phone was originally rooted and I unrooted it and when it came to choosing a rom to download from stockroms.net I chose the first one which I realized was the 4.1.1 stock rom. So I re-rooted it and then unrooted it intsalling the 4.1.2 rom and it worked and finally I have 4.1.2!!!
