[Q] updating firmware stock ??? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I used the PC to make Odin to my ROOT Note 2. My question is:
- If I make Update firmware by Kies, do I have to re-configure and INSTALLING applications again, or is everything intact?
- I have to re-do ROOT?
- It is better to use Kies or PC Odin to make UNROOT?
- I lose the settings of Directory Bind?
Thank you.

Intact data. Need to Reroot. No need to unroot.

If you update to a stock rom using pc odin you will have to re root, but you won't lose any settings or apps and directory bind will still work after re rooting.

After rooting and rebooting you got to go first to the play store and update supersu, after that supersu will run.

I have the same problem on XXUENA1, I downloaded the 4.3 rom with Mobile Odin, and checked the EverRoot option, now I get the security alert from Knox, and SuperSU doesn't open, and I can't uninstall SuperSU (I tried wiping from recovery, and even download the 4.3 image again using PC Odin, I still see the SuperSU app).
When I go to market to upgrade SuperSU, I don't have the upgrade option, only open (Already the SuperSU version installed is 1.93, which is the latest I believe?).
I tried rooting with CF-root and also in vain...
Any ideas?
Is anyone else having the same problem

I'm about to start using my Note 2 N7100XXUENA1 using a method I googled.
I'm sorry I can't post the link yet since I'm new and need 10 posts before outside links can be posted so try this hint.
The site should be nasirtech.blogspot (dotcom). That's specific to Note 2's with the XXUENA1 firmware.
I'll see if it works.
I got my phone in the Philippines from Globe and I think you have the same handset.
We could end up in the same boat if the method in the link fails to work but I'll give it a shot.

Hi dude, it seems the guide I followed actually works.
I saved the instructions in a Word Document to see if I could share it via dropbox (Since It's still my 5th post as of now).
Here goes nothing;
/s/mjd5sk2mqz9lgb5/N7100%20Root.docx
Just type in dropbox(dotcom) before the line above.
And another thing. Please tell me if that's the guide you followed, I'm suspecting that the CF-Autoroot that you are using maybe different from what I used.
Hope this helps.
First remove SuperSU from Application manager. If u can't then re-flash 4.3 from Computer Odin to get rid of corrupt SuperSU.
Downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.2. I have done this with 100% Success
BACKUP everything. (Important)
Turn ON USB Debugging mode and Unknown sources.
First ROOT your phone.
(For N7100 Note 2 use CF-Auto root, here is the link
http://download.chainfire.eu/264/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip
NOTE: Knox and Binary Counters will get Triggered and your Warranty will be VOID.
Donwload CF-Auto root to your computer. Then boot your phone into Download mode. Open Odin. Connect your phone to computer. Click PDA and load CF-Auto root and click Start button. Let the process finish and your phone will reboot. You will see SuperSU icon on your phone).
Open Playstore and Update SuperSU. Open SuperSU and it will give a message to disable KNOX. Click YES/Ok.
Then install Titanium backup root from Playstore. Open it, go to backup/restore tab.
Find,
1.com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation
2.com.sec.knox.eventsmanager
3.KLMS Agent
4.KNOX
5.Knox Notification Manager
6.KNOX Store
Go to each one of it and Uninstall them.
Next restart your phone.
*VERY IMPORTANT* Now Backup your efs folder by using EFS Professional on you computer (Link: http://d-h.st/Gfo ). Because your imei number will be changed after downgrading. You can easily restore it later.
Now install Mobile Odin Pro from Playstore on your phone. Here is the link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro
*IMPORTANT* DO NOT flash firmware for downgrading with Computer Odin as it will NOT work and it will FAIL. *ONLY Mobile Odin Pro from Playstore will work.
Copy your 4.1.2 firmware to your phone. Next Open Mobile Odin Pro on your phone and let it download some necessary files from internet.
When done, click on Open file and select the firmware. After loading the firmware scroll down and UNCHECK EverRoot(because it cause problems). Then click on FLASH Firmware.
*IMPORTANT* If your phone get stuck on samsung logo. Go into recovery mode by pressing Home+Power+Volume UP keys together for 15 seconds. Click Factory wipe/data and then Wipe Cache. Then Reboot.
Now check your imei by *#06#. If imei is changed then restore it from EFS Professional.

[Q] Root Note 2 on 4.4.2 without using Odin

Hi! I just want to root my Note 2 without using Odin. I am having difficulties in connecting my phone to a USB connector, so I don't want to take any chances. All of the instructions in the Internet say that I need to use Odin to either flash CF- Auto Root or flash Philz Recovery first before I use the SuperSU zip file to flash it on my device. If I flash the SuperSU zip file without installing Philz recovery first, would it brick my device?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

You cannot flash any zip file via stock recovery,hence you need to flash custom recovery first to be able to flash SuperSU and to flash custom recovery you need to either flash it via odin or terminal emulator.In order to flash via terminal emulator you need to flash cf auto root via odin first. To sum it up you need Odin either ways to root your phone .
If you have correctly installed the Samsung drivers and tried different USB ports and using stock samsung cable Odin should recognize your phone.Uninstall the drivers and re install them from scratch.
Don't root without Odin. Or you will get into problem. Try another computer or another cable. My laptop does not recognise my note 2. I use my friend's. Njoy 4.4.2 till u find above solutions. I have successfully rooted 4.4.2 without any problem.

I cannot also go to CWM Recovery mode by Pressing Vol Up + Home Button + Power Button as screen go mad and switch it off, Then I need to start it again to use my phone normally.
I have also installed an app from Play Store named Root Checker which verify if phone is rooted or not and it say "Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted".
Thanks to god my phone is still working but I still wish to Root My phone again with correct process !
Q. Can I still Re-Root My phone ? If Yes, Then please guide me through latest correct process with files.

[Q] Updating a rooted galaxy note 2

Rooted phones have their status set to "Custom" so you cannot update OTA.
What you can do is to download the stock rom from Sammobile and flash it using odin, then root it again.
P.s. Rooting triggers knox so warranty will be voided.

thanks, but flashing it will delete all of the files installed?
if it does, do you have any recommendations for a backup software?

[Q] Note 2 not rooted via cf autoroot

Hello,
I've tried to root my Galaxy Note 2 GT N7100 (KitKat 4.4.2) [original, NO custom ROM or CWM]
with
CF-Auto-Root-t03g-gtn7100.tar.md5
via ODIN
as shown in several tutorials.
All seemed passed ok, nothing obviously went wrong, SuperSU appears in the app drawer.
BUT
If started, SU has been be stopped, Root Checker says, the system is very slow and the phone is NOT rooted (properly).
Updating SU via PlayStore is NOT possible, only to deactivate.
Counter is on 1, Triangle away and other system apps don't work, because the phone isn't really rooted
Wipe data also is changing nothing.
So I've now a NON-rooted phone with the counter on 1, updates via OTA were denied, by reasons seen above.
What can I do? Could 'GalaxyNote2Root' be an option?
THX!
KitKat 44.2
BasisBand: N7100XXXUFND3
Kernel: 3.031-1552758
Build: KOT49H.N7100XXUFNE1
Try to flash CWM via Odin

Ohh, THX for you fast reply!
Does
openrecovery-twrp-2.7.2.1-t03g.img
match?
Or alternative: cwm6-root-note2, but this is old (2008)
I tried rooting my N7105 LTE last night and think I am having the same problem mate, hopefully someone can help!
Most important question: Why do you want to root your device?
If you want to run custom roms, forget about root cause you only need a custom recovery (best the recommended one for the rom) flashed with Odin.
Then you can flash any rom you want through this recovery and most of them are pre-rooted, so :good:
Only if you want to be rooted with stock rom I will try to guide you.

Only to prevent KNOX to deny access to the external card and run some apps, which need SU-rights, e.g. Titanium- / efs- Backup and so one.
At last to make TC working again. This app makes the phone freezing (superSU cannot start and hangs).
Thanks for yor reply.
One way to do it:
Flash custom recovery through Odin and afterwards latest SuperSu.
After bootup the app will deactivate Knox.
EDIT: I have not tested, cause I make my own rooted base-roms, so I hope it will work for you.
I can provide you such a base
