Unrooting GT-N7100? i've done my research desperately....in vain? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA
sorry to ask a question that many of you are aces at, but how can i unroot the n7100? i've done my research; the proof is the links at the end of my post. I want to unroot so that the phone can receive the latest updates OTA or by downloading official files. No custom roms, theyre just not required (yet), since its my brother's phone.
Details: Model is GT-N7100
Currently: Android 4.1.1
Baseband: N7100XXALJ2
Don't think kernel is relevant, so omitted
Build Number: JR003C.N7100XXALJ3
(i've double checked, and all above information is correct)
I wanted a few questions answering, really.
1 - What is the difference between the build number and the baseband? I have 2 note ii's in the family, and the above details are my brother's. and in both of our phones, the baseband and build number are only slightly different. What are they?
2 - In one website, i was directed samsung-updates.com (http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7100) to download the appropriate firmware, but there was a differentiation by region code (3 letters). What is this? And what if i cant find a UK/GB version?
3 - When unrooting, which firmware do i actually use? What if there will NEVER be a sim card inserted? (it's a gaming phone only)
I will happily and with much appreciation respect your responses to this....Help me out? I may be a novice, but not a noob. I don't want it just answering; I'd really like to learn more here, so please treat me as a student (i'm only 16 anyway, but that's besides the point), and explain how and what.

Easy. Download a stock rom in odin format. Download triangle away, reset flash counter (just for being safe) put phone in odin mode (power+vol down+home) and open odin and then flash the file

you make it sound really easy, but aaagh, i dunno where to download the stock rom! (With the latest update). That's my definite BIGGEST problem. The rest of it is fine, methinks. Since you've mentioned it, is the triangle away app really necessary if it isn't going back to Samsung/dealer?
Thanks

I dont use it much. Dont worry. BTU is factory unlocked. Use your specific one. Remember triangle away before flashing
BTU = Factory Unlocked
H3G = Hutchinson 3G so ThreeUK
O2u = O2UK
VOD = Vodafone.
Use carrier specific please.

[Q] Am I N7105 or N7100?

Hi
I have search the forum for this and google. I am a bit stumped
I have attached 2 images, one a screenshot of my Note 2 device info and the other of the Samsung Galaxy note 2 toolkit 2.3.1 (donation activated).
Basically Im confused on what my phone is. According to the device info its a GT-N7100 Build N7100XXALIJ but the baseband is N7100XXALIH
When I look on the toolkit to chose what my phone model and build are it says that the N7100XXALIJ build is model GT-N7100.
I am assuming that as I am on o2 UK that I am a GSM model and not a LTE but what option should I select.
Im not currently interested in stock roms, I do plan later to but I am worried about my flash counter, I am primarily looking just for root.
I thank you for reading this.
all of the version, baseband, etc... shows begin with "7100"
why would u ever doubt yr phone is 7105?
because in the device info it says model n7100
also I didnt think o2 woukd be lte ?

First i`am not a moderator, second if you have 3 confirmations that you have a N7100 it is stupid to ask any further. You think it is a N7105 in disguise?

stikk doesnt help me with finding out which option to select when if I sekect the buukd for my phone its for a n7105 and alk the n7100 are different builds. im new to andriod I just wanted clarificatiion on what may seem a stupid question. were not all born with answers as you
I don't understand where the confusion is coming from. All signs point to you having an n7100. No where in your screenshots is there any indication that it could be an n7105.
That is why people are getting annoyed.
So to answer your question in case you are still unsure, and you have an n7100. Don't flash anything for the n7105

Thank you very much. I did search the toolkit before for XXALIJ but it didn't come back with any results.
I really appreciate that you found that for me. I will be donating for your work in helping me!
I tried donating to you but get the following error on paypal:
Currently PayPal accounts in India are only able to send payments. This recipient is not eligible to receive funds.
If you send me alternative payment method I will send u a donation for the help you have given.
Yes this is issue since last 1 month, don't worry and your words of thanx is enough. Don't bother and enjoy exploring your new rooted device.

Okay. I see what the OP was trying to get at. His N7100 had the LIJ build installed and was trying to use his phone with the Note II toolkit. And when the toolkit asked him what phone and build he was using, the option for an N7100 with LIJ wasn't there. However, the option for an N7105 with LIJ was there.... hense, confusion.
So, for future reference OP, if another device has a build of Android with the same number as yours, that doesn't mean it's the same build as yours or that you actually have that device instead of what you originally thought you had. You do in fact have an N7100 with LIJ. Welcome to the Android community and sorry for the "FAIL". Enjoy your Note II!

[Q] GT-N7100

Hi, i have this phone...
GT-N7100
Android: 4.1.5
Baseband: N7100ZCALH3
Kernel: 3.0.13-93991
Build: JRO03C.N7100ZCALH40
The GPS do not work and i want to install another rom.(i think it has something to do with the rom, its a china rom i think.)
Downloaded Odin Mobile and i get an error : A compatible device was detected but with an unexpected partition layout. Mobile odin cannot operate. This is a common error on CM and MIUI ROMs on some devices
I have never tried flashing a rom to a android phone before, and must say i am pretty "green"..
I really hope on some help
If you need additional info, i will provide anything you need... JUST want this phone to work 100%
Android 4.1.5?

If it's a fake Note2 there's nothing XDA can do for you.

I want to flash firmware 4.2+ from 4.1.9 gt n7100 built cnanzhi Samsung made by Korea
I root with kingo because cannot enter dload mode. Then I install mobile Odin
And it says ..but with an expected partition layout. How I going to solve this
I think that in practice what you are trying to do is install a ROM that is made for SG Note 2 to your phone, that's not a Note 2... Hopefully it gave an error and it wasn't possible because if your phone did flash the ROM, I think that you would end up with a bricked China Note 2 instead of a working one
Mine is I think original Samsung Galaxy Note II or the least recond bcoz I checked at the back Samsung made in Korea assembled in china and comes with warranty. And FYI I would like to flash cwm ROM and flash 4.2+ like jellybean or kitkat sir but I just can't enter download mode but I didn't yet used adb download mode bcoz its very big to download man.half a gig.Thanksgiving

[Q] Rooting Galaxy Note 2

Hello,
I tried looking thru the forum to find my answer but I couldn't find anything regarding rooting my Galaxy Note 2 build JZ054K.I317UCAMC3
So when I run the Galaxy Note2 Toolkit V4.1.0
I get to the part that ask you to find your device build and carrier I get only 2 options under the AT&T Carrier.
51. Android 4.1.1 Build ALJ2
52. Android 4.1.2 Build ALK7
Which one do I select since they don't match my build?
Here are the details to my phone.
Samsung Galaxy note 2
Model: SGH-I317
Android Version: 4.1.2
Build:JZ054K.I317UCAMC3
Hope someone has encountered this problem and can answer my question.

Don't know which Note 2 it is... please help

So My friend had network issues in his note 2 so i took it to help him. Now in the about phone in settings, it says n7100, however in download mode, it shows SGH T889 which is the t-mobile version... in the widgets it shows a few t-mobile widgets as well...he bought it second hand, so it is possible that the person flashed the t-mobile rom in the international version, or is it the t-mobile version. Thanks!

Your questions are specific to N7100 and the ROM for that device. You will have a better luck and audience in this N7100/N7150 forum.
You are more likely to find members on Revolution HD 19 ROM with N7100 devices than SGH-T889.
