[Q] 4.1.2 Lost Root Odin fails! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey guys I hope this isn't a noob question I watched the video and read the forum rules but a forum search comes up empty, something about adblock but I'm not running adblock!
Anyways I have an international unlocked samsung galaxy note II n7100, the non 4g version.
I used Odin to root the device and went on with my life enjoying root. Then I made the mistake of updating from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 while still rooted and it removed my root.
I've gone through so many links and forums here and elsewhere for three hours now, ran at least three separate versions of Odin. Most of them failed at the connection attempt, so a driver reinstall and restart of the samsung kies stuff fixed the connection problem.
After that I ran Odin with CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar and it said Restart ok and turned green but Clockworkmod recovery and supersu tell me root fails.
I'm really not sure what to do next here should I full wipe and start over? The data isn't super important to me so much as I need my external card flipped to internal so I don't have to deal with this tiny 10 GB useable space internal flash...
Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Full wipe cant hurt

Did a full wipe and restored factory...then ran Odin and it finally rooted it back! Now however the app external 2 internal isn't working right so all of my backed up apps aren't showing up in carbon...er...Helium.
Thanks for help with the root and odin.
Edit
Sorted out the sd card issue as well. Thanks for the assistance in returning my phone back to life.

That was all u man

I need help on re-installing stock ROGERS rom.

Ive been on ICS/JB for a while, but my battery started to swell and i need to flash back the stock rogers rom.
Ive download from samfirware the only rogers rom.
I put it in the PDA slot of Odin3 and everything works.
When the phone reboots i get an error: Can't access /system/csc/att
And the phone reboots to the samsung logo and nothing more.
I tried using the famous oneclick we had for the leak ICS and this one works good. Only the 2.3 from rogers that fails.
Nevermind, the dude at rogers told me that batteries are not covered by the warranty.
It would still be nice to find the answer to the flashing problem.

Install CWM, format /system ... should take care of it .... (edit!! do this step BEFORE you flash your rom again and AFTER you complete a backup.)
Did you flash the original rogers from samfirmware w/ Odin ?

Can you help - think we have same kinda phones !
Hello,
I have Samsung Captivate Glide but USA Att version and recently ran into a problem - the phone froze and when I tried to reboot all I can see is Samsung Logo and then it just won't do anything else
I'm not very Skilled at fixing Android and it seems like a headache to me, but Im trying to see if I can fix my phone:
what I've tried so far is play with the buttons while trying to reboot a phone and it gives me that menu where I can clear cache and then factory reset, I've tried both and it still does the same thing. The last thing I am trying to do now is to use "Apply update from SD Card" option in the menu recovery mode menu - kinda last chance in my limited knowledge: I have downloaded original packages from Samfirmware website, but somehow it doesn't recognize them when I'm trying to navigate folders in that menu - Im not even sure what to call the files (what extensions ?) or that it is something that it will let me do from external sd card that Im using because when I open the external sd folder it shows nothing but the SD card is plugged in - I'm just trying to see if it would completely reinstall the whole Android 2.3 system this way.
I'm only contacting you because I can see your phone in the forum is kinda like mine but a canadian version and you seem to know much more about androids - I wish I knew more and could somehow reinstall the whole Android 2.3 from scratch - I do not use a Windows laptop but can possibly find it ( I use Linux Ubuntu) if their some kinda PC Suite Software that does this (no cds came with phone though). Also, I have never messed with custom ROMs or anything like that - last time I used it I watched video online and it froze. Do I have any options here ?? The phone is not under any warranty and I do not care about my files on it much - I just want it to work same as before because to me it seems like it's not a hardware issue but I'm not really sure. Although my phone is ATT, it is unlocked to Walmart Straight Talk Unlimited Simcard - which is very affordable to me as well, and I like this phone! I never upgraded to ICS from 2.3 because it ran smoothly all the time - had it for about 6 months - wondering what could be wrong with it, I already spent 3-4 hours on it with no positive outcome.
Can you help ? THANKS IN ADVANCE - ANY TIPS ARE APPRECIATED
Thank You
Vlad
Sounds like a bootloop, it seems you still have access to recovery mode so you might be able to reinstall your stock firmware from here

Your recovery version is pretty old, considering cwm 6.0.3.6 is the newest...
So is there anyway to fix this ?
Download ROM Manager from the PlayStore and let it install the latest CWM, or download GooManager and have it install TWRP.
So far as the computer, you'll need to be more specific about 'talk to'.
Might need drivers, might need a new cable, can't tell from what you said.
I think if he wiped already he wont be able to download from the play store, if im reading the OP correctly, you already wiped the device, you flashed the 4.2.2 or 4.2 and it aborted..correct?
Step 1. Okay here's what you can do since the PC isnt reading your phone, reboot or restart your pc put phone in odin/download mode and see if it reads it now. If it does Odin a stock rooted rom, then get goomanger from the play store and install open script recovery which will give you the twrp recovery, then you can attempt the flash again of the 4.2 based rom.
Step 2. If it still isnt reading after a pc restart load your old rom on an sd card and try to flash the old tw rom with that older cwm recovery and see if you can get back at least to a tw rom. If that doesnt work then pull the battery out your phone let it sit for 2min, put the battery back in and get into odin/download mode, and see if pc recognizes the device and connection, if it doesnt, download kies and it might help with the connection issue.
Did that help bro. Let me know?

Op stated the he made a full backup. Should be able to boot directly into recovery and restore the backup?
thanks for the info everyone . the operating system is gone so no luck on play store.
mrkevo3000 yes the roms got aborted half way its weird why it would do that.... my phone has always had issues.
just like that as i am typing this my phone is now recognized by odin so i will what you said load up stock and the reflash my backup and then update cwm.
I will try and update and againg to 4.2.2 and let you know what happens.
I have seen so many flavors any preference one somethiong that might work on i747m ?
ill update this after recovering my phone and attempting reflash.
Also for some reason my sd card is not recognized by cwm and it is only looking at internal again never did this to me before thats why i got stuck.
Last time i attempted a update for some reason my apn settings were locked and could not be changed.
I did the same stupid thing myself. Really can not believe I did it but i was rushing and didn't read what it was, thinking i was doing something else. Was not worried as I had my trusty nandriod backup -.- . I guess I can consider myself lucky as i took it to telus hoping they would buy my story and they sent it to the samsung repair center. Worried all week that if they checked it would be clear i had voided the warranty and i would be paying a high repair cost or buying a new phone. Well I got the phone back an hour ago and they fixed it.... no charge. I guess I can consider myself very lucky.

I would use odin 1.85 and odin a rooted stock 4.1.2 rom.. then go to the playstore and download goomanger and get the teamwin recovery, by hitting menu inside goomanger app, and installing the open script recovery which will install the teamwin recovery, you can flash any pure google rom with that recovery, before you do make a nandroid of your current setup and then flash away, get into a habit of doing at least one back and check the md5 hash of the roms before you flash away... download using your pc instead of phone browsers, sometimes mobile browsers corrupt the files.

[Q] CWM recovery Incomplete phone restarts

Hello all, my First post so please bear with me, Been using these forums for quite a while and all answers have been allready given, so no need to post... till now.
I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 i747 running android 4.1.2 OTA update and used CF-Autoroot. No problems there,
installed Rom manager, and cwm recovery touch. no problem
When I restart in recovery mode, also everything seems fine...
When I try to backup the phone however using cwm recovery it starts backing up everything including system but the just as it starts data the phone restarts.
Tried reinstalling cwm over and over different versions.. nada same result..
went into the settings to mount the various options as suggested to another user. same problem nada...
To be completely clear, I am trying to make a backup of my stock / rooted only Galaxy s3 i747 onto it's own storage NOT SDcard.
as I also could not figure that out either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Erdericks1976
Sorry about misleading Subject. This is about making my first backup successfully..
Followup.
Well seems there are/were more problems here than I thought, it has begun randomly? restarting,..
Well. not Ramdomly. Whem specific apps are run it would restart.
I did a titanium backup and it would backup alot of the apps. but them would restart the phone when it got to 1 specific app.
I think I figured out what I did wrong here.
I have a Galaxy Note 2, and I may have flashed something from it by mistake......
so I have restarted my Gs3 From scratch Re-Following all instructions.. waiting to test and see if CWM works to back it up now..
It sure was faster with the Note2 rooted Kernel though. (if that was in fact what happend)
I'll update soon as its done..
Followup 2
Yep. that musta been it. Used the correct stock (rooted) Rom
OTA updated from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, then used CF auto root to Re-root, then reinstalled SU and CWM and Backing up now.
Just passed the Data section the phone would always restart at...

Yet another device status problem

Hi,
I've been searching these forum for a while now looking for a solution, yet nothing helpful...
I have a galaxy note 2 SGH-i317m that I rooted last year. I unrooted it completely last month so that I can acces to the Samsung update to 4.3. BUT when I try to update, it tells me that my device has been modified.
I can hear your questions comming so:
Yes I triangled away before unrooting,
Yes I tried wipe the partition cache
Yes I try rerooting then unrooting again
My device status is "modified" in the settings but "custom" in download mode
Yes I'm running everything stock
Yes I tried removing the sd card, in fact I don't even put an sd card in these days
Yes I tried every single tutorial I could possibly found...
Well, now I'm kinda stuck.
Thanks for the help!

What I did was:
- Root and use triangle away to Official/Official/No
- Flash your local ROM with latest Odin.
- Wipe to factory.
Now my phone is Device Status: Normal, and download mode is perfect
Not sure if anyone encountered this before, that android apps work perfectly fine while on wifi, but when switched over to 3G or LTE, the app will not be able to connect using the 3G/ LTE signal. When starting them, they give a message that no connection was found.
The few apps tested were:
Whatsapp
Chrome
Play Store (able to browse for apps using 3G, but fail to be able to downloaded)
If anyone has encountered this before and solved it, please advice! I'm severely handicapped without 3G while on the road.

System UI crash evry time it tries to restart after root66 flash

never had this problem first here is all the background information from my last thread (yes i must be challenged)
really I don't know what to do
I believe i need to completely erase everything from my device as i cannot think of what else it could be but some conflicting something somewhere I am not educated enough to know
it flashes fine with odin but always system ui error I will be trying to go back to 4.1X as i believe that was my last bootloader and hope it works out. In all i want to update to NC2 and take advantage of the last roms beuing developed for this device.
In all i want to get my phone working again i need to get and send calls and texts so i plead for help Any question i will answer to the best of my ability
I have flashed with odin 3.1 and 3.07 NC2 then MJC basically both root 66 4.3 roms I don't know what my problem is maybe if while im waiting for help and using a root 66 for 4.1.2 (last working state) i will use recovery to wipe the sd card? idk but in all i think i need to start FRESH as long as i can get my contacts from Google i'm fine (and the phone rings and such lol)
IM eagerly waiting for help!!! someone else who is having a crappy holiday season maybe you can relate when you get in a funk where it seams everything breaks or needs to be replaced at one time

You can't flash back to 4.1 with Odin. Root66 performs a full update including bootloader so no downgrade. You probably just need to factory reset with recovery. Just make sure you backup your internal sd
