Set phone back as new - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

II'm looking to sell my phone and want to set it back as new. I don't have a backup of the original rom so how can I go about it? I'm looking for an odexed, non-rooted stock rom with UK/IE CSC. I have the drivers and Odin installed so I'm just looking for the stock rom but having no luck finding it.

Replacement Help

Ok, I recently cracked my screen and through 5 att reps and some choice words I was able to get a replacement phone free of charge. My problem is that my current phone is rooted with the serenity rom installed and my backup isn't found on the phone, even though I did back it up. Does anyone know where I can get the original ics rom to flash back on my phone?

You have a few options. You can find the stock ROM here: http://samsung-updates.com/
and you can flash it with Odin. This will get rid of your custom recovery too.
Or you can download http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
which is a nifty program that Samsung put together. Go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation and follow the instructions.
That will find the latest stock ROM for your phone (using the Model and S/N you provide) and flash it for you. This is the same
as using Odin but it can be easier.
Ok thanks dude!

Well you have a att model it is going to take a very very very very long time before you see an update. Just wait for a rom here it will be so much better and sooner than anything att will give you.

No you can't just update through kies.
You have to be on one of the stock ROMs supported by Samsung first for kies to recognize a starting point. And it is possible to get into a reboot loop coming from a custom ROM. After you flash the stock ROM using Odin After your phone reboots, pull the battery, put it back in, go to recovery and reset/factory reset/clear cache & data so your stock ROM starts out clean.
This will eliminate the boot loop possibility.
And frankly since you're going to have to do a stock ROM flash why not just get the newest release you are aiming for and just flash it with Odin that way you don't have to deal with kies !
This is your newest Bell release it is Android 4.1.2 so if you have a thing for 4.2.2 Samsung hasn't released it.

Just remember to back up before you start messing with flashing back to stock.

You can use kies to update from other rom too.
Open kies - tools - firmware upgrade and initialization
You need your Sr number to proceed, you can find in setting - about device or from back side of device under battery.

Get latest firmware for your note 2 model and region
download it from here
http://samsung-updates.com/
get in downlaod mode and then flash it via odin
its all in one package so you will have to click on PDA tab and select the stock ROM you downloaded ..nothing else needed
If you want to backup your alliance ROM you can do it in recovery incase you would like to come back if anything goes wrong then you would have option to switch back to alliance ROM

Flash the stock firmware via Odin. You can find it in a thread in the general section.

If you don't care about custom recovery you could always go back to stock with kies.

how to go back to stuck rom?

i'm on the alliance rom v4 and i would like to go back to stuck 5.1.1
how do i go back?
will smart switch recovery will do the trick?
Probably not, smartswitch isn't custom friendly.
Odin with stock, not stuck firmware.

Can you direct me to stock rom?
Or odin stock 5.1.1 firmware will do?
