[Q] [How can] Remove CWM? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Everyone,
At the begin i search for this question in google and in XDA forum, i don't find direct answer!
How can i remove CWM from samsung not 2 completely?
My advice for everyone have Note 2 Don't root it, you don't need to.

i dont think there's a way to just remove it,
i know you can flash a stock rom using odin and it will remove it

I did it with my S3.
After soft bricking my phone, I installed a rooted stock ICS rom in my phone then again installed Rom manager. CWM was not found. I think you can do it also in your Note 2.

Reroot with CF-Root this will put you back stock recovery.

Returning to stock - selling phone.

I am currently on the aokp rom and i need to sell the phone and wipe everything on the phone. I cant seem to find a guide that does this perfectly. Ideally I would like to return to 100% stock as if the phone is brand new out of the box.
Any suggestions?
Flash one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33570269 and you should be good.

Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665 and follow the instructions - watch the video from wwjoshdew and it's super easy. Get a stock rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 - this thread also provides instructions on how to revert back to stock.
You could always sell the phone the way it is - the aokp rom is a definite feature..

Yea but i think the average person is going to be like wtf is this. Most people don't know about custom roms and phones. (at least i dont think they do)
So i flashed the stock firmware and it keeps hanging at the samsung boot screen it does the att boot animation then gets stuck at the samsung one.
I put the md5 fild in the pda box on odin. thats correct right?
I'm trying to download the file from another mirror maybe i got a corrupt download.

No, just pull the battery and reboot into recovery. Do a wipe data/factory reset then reboot and you should be good to go.

Since the thread is here. If I used the root method to not trip flash counter. How do I return to stock without tripping the counter? Kies?

Use Odin to flash the stock ROM mentioned above. That process won't trip it.

Rooting without flashing?

This probably a dumb question but I haven't been able to find the answer by searching and reading through numerous threads.
Is there a way to root without having to flash an image? I don't want to have to set up my phone again and would just prefer to root so I can get rid of all the bloat.
Heck, I'd probably unroot afterwards because I'm perfectly happy with everything else. I just want to get rid of NFS and all the other apps that I never use.
Yes, you can with keeping stock just to remove stuff.

Step 8. Hit Start and let ODIN flash the custom CWM Recovery. When it’s done, your Galaxy Note 2 will reboot and you should have a fully rooted Galaxy Note 2.
So this doesn't wipe the phone? I saw this method but am hesitant to try it because I don't want to lose all my data.

Can anyone who has done it confirm? Alternatively could try How to root T889 +Counter reset + Unroot+stock firmware which was posted 3 weeks later in dev ( T-Mobile Galaxy Note II Android Development ) without Max YouTube video within instructions however

I have used that method from galaxynote2root.com and had no problems. the only thing it did was install superuser and give root access, did not touch phone data.

Thanks for confirming
+1 on that method..I did this as well to set up hotspot tethering and it works..no data wipe..
First time doing this odin method so my question is
1. Will I get future OTA updates? It says my phone is modified. Will triangle away fix this?
2. What do I need to do now if I want to flash a custom rom? Install cwm flash recovery and rom as per normal?

Hey if that's really all you want to do, ICS and newer Android allows you to disable bloatware apps such as NFS. Just go into your application manager, swipe to the right until you get to "All" find the apps you don't want and hit "disable" and Tadda! :good:
Even though this requires flashing through odin, this is the best method. No "Modified" status and will not wipe your data. Your phone will be rooted and all settings and apps stay intact (you need to confirm this in the thread).

[Q] GSIII 4.3 Root Help

Hi everyone,
I want to root my Galaxy SIII which is currently running Touchwiz 4.3 from last week's official update but I can't find any guides on how to do it for this specific android version, only 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. If anyone could write a tutorial here or send me in the correct direction that would be much appreciated! :laugh:
Thanks

When you root your phone, I believe that superuser/supersu asks if you want to disable Knox.

After you're rooted, I recommend flashing the latest stable CM 10.2! I just flashed it today, and it runs like a champ!
I try flash in cm and nothing

[Q] just got my note 10.1 2014...

looking to root, install twrp, and flash cleanrom.
i saw a root method that says to use a stock recovery, and i also saw the i shouldn't wipe the cache using twrp... can anyone give me a proper procedure to get to where i need? i have two little kids that are keeping me from doing the proper research myself, otherwise i would.
i am on mk1 firmware btw...
thanks!
wow, no one?
I haven't done this yet as I am kinda hoping there'll be a non-warranty killing approach available soon. I am in much the same boat as you, kids and all, too.
But I think the way to do it is:
1. Root the device with cf auto root: http://honai-android.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/how-to-root-galaxy-note-101-2014.html / http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490805
2. Install TWRP via Odin
3. Install cleanROM via TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577389
I hope this at least gets you started. Let us know how you go as I will probably be following in your footsteps as soon as I can't stand this unrooted tablet any more... which will probably be very darn soon, warranty killing or not.
Or maybe someone else will chime in with better instructions.
Good luck!
+1 I'm about to send my warranty to hell. Stock ROM is ridiculously over bloated. The only thing i need is a working ROM with my "exotic" p605m variation.
I really need working radio / LTE.

Yeah, I have the SM-P600, which is wifi only. We have a confirmed root, custom recovery, and CleanROM, but the Knox counter gets tripped, and for now there is no way around it.

TWRP is custom recovery so yes you have to flash it using Odin.
read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515656
After that you can download .zip file to storage and then install it using TWRP recovery.

Nah, just open up Odin, connect your phone to your computer, download CWM, PHILZ or TWRP tar file, click on PDA, choose the tar recovery file you just downloaded, and flash it. That's all. Very simple. Then you can go into recovery and flash custom roms.

First, calm down, I can read. Second, you are solely responsible for your own device. Third, Saferoot is only for root, it has absolutely nothing to do with recovery. Flashing a recovery through Odin will allow you to flash custom roms, which is what you asked how to do. No need for Safestrap.
