Hi to u all. I need a little help in according with unroot procedure.
Well, I rooted my device without odin, but using a tool with mac, so flahing recovery.img with terminal and then flashing supersu with cwmd.
Right. Phone works good. I am still with stock rom. I would like to unroot the device for my reasons.
Could I unroot without odin. Having mac I am enable to run it. I read on play store that I can reset numbers of flashes and if I delete supersu, it become unrooted. But, with this procedure the device will give a state "custom" as well. So.....if someone could help me I will appriciate a lot

Heimdal is the procedure I did to root. With terminal, i wrote flash recovery revoery.img
But I don't know if it works with zip file.
In others words what format is the stock firmware?

Use free version of mobile odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
Can we Flash any custom roms easily using mobile or pc odin on rooted Note 2 N7100 (rooted with exynos abuse apk) and also have feature rich root to use things like nandroid backuo and restore keeping in mind rooting with exynose abuse app we don't have CWM. And if we have to send for warranty just flash stock rom and its all official and we don't even have to run triangle away etc as flashing stock ROM will take care of everything. ?

Odin is used to flash stock
And yes you need to use triangle away for repair
Flash a custom recovery to flash custom roms

I thought pc odin is used to flash stock firmware. but we can use mobile odin to flash custom roms.
When you say custom recovery do you mean custom rom..?

Cwm is custom recovery.
Custom rom is software made by people for our phone here at xda.
Use mobile odin to flash custom roms.
Use toolkit to make nandroids.

So that means we cant install custom roms without cwm.? As I rooted my phone with exynosabuse app I dont have cwm. I was under the impression I can still flash custom roms like omega rom etc using mobile odin.?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's what I said you can flash via mobile odin.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
So I can flash m omega rom for note 2 just with Phone rooted with exynosabuse app even though I don't have cwm. . And if I need to send for warranty just unroot from exynos abuse app and flash stock rom and run triangle away app if counter raises.?

Have just rooted using cf auto root and want to update my firmware which is currently on stock 4.1.1. I am in the UK but my phone is a grey import with csc code (AFR), which according to Sammobile is Kenya. Can I just update the firmware using any of the English 4.1.2 files using mobile odin without messing up my phone?
I haven't got Cwm installed as I only want to use official firmwares.
Thankyou..

I think you cant just use otin mobile because you have to upgrade also bootloader and this is possible only with odin PC version. But maybe im wrong

Have just been reading through dr.ketan's guides and it looks like I can flash any official firmware for my phone as long as it's the same model number.

Yes you can update any country ROM for same device.
Just to add if you want to use mobile odin, then keep in mind Mobile odin won't flash bootloader and i recommend to flash bootloader later with PC odin, still your root will remain intact.
PS : actually bootloader need not to flash everytime and only this time there is a fix for exynose bug so you need to do it.
you can find new bootloader on my same rooting thread post #4
How do we find out which version bootloader is on note 2?
Sorry I dont mean to hijack the thread

Thankyou. I will have a look. Should I flash the bootloader first to fix the exynos bug, then the firmware, or do them both at the same time using pc odin?

you need to flash bootloader separately only if you use mobile odin to update ROM.
In case you are using PC odin to flash latest stock ROM, that will include bootloader and need not to flash it separately.
This is b'coz as i said mobile odin can't flash bootloader.(safety feature)

I thought the latest official Rom fixed sds. Will have to learn about kernel and recovery now lol. All I wanted to do was update my rom to an official one to mainly fix the exynos bug, sds bug and check out the new features.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
yes, it has fixed SDS too
I said to utkarsh that exynose is fixed with bootloader.
So
If you use mobile odin to flash latest ROM, SDS will fixed but not exynose yet
While flashing with Pc odin, it will fix SDS as well exynose

Two more questions. When I do my first update using pc odin, will I lose root? If so, can I just re root using cf auto root again? Thankyou..

Yep on both

Hey when flashing with Odin how do you know what version of firmware will work with your phone? I have a note 2 from vodafone ireland with the csc of VDI. Would i be able to use one of those 4.1.2 updates or is it only unlocked phones that work?
Any ROM should work.

Am just about to update my phone using pc odin. I have loaded the pda file, but the bootloader is still blank. Do I have to load the same file into the bootloader section as well to fix the exynos bug and sds?
Thankyou.

No need to do it
If tar file having it(4.1.2 of 2013 released have it), then it will get flashed from PDA.

but if you want root afterwards flashing prerooted will make things easier.
Do I just need to use odin to flash stock recovery to use the factory reset function within the rom and receive future ota ?

Doesn't flashing chain-fire's CF auto root install stock recovery? Of course, you have to flash it through Odin.
