I just flash back to stock rom N7100ZSDME1
When it finish, reboot, S-Note keep force close, the phone is completely unusable, the S-Note force close comes up every second.
I already did full wipe (data, cache, dalvik), even format the internal SD card, but still no luck to fix.
Grateful if someone could help.
Turn out see some error message after flash stock rom, when the phone reboot after flash complate, it enter 3e recovery, then apply a sec_csc.zip update. But it fail:
E:signature verification failed
I tried extract the sec_csc.zip file then use CWM recovery to install, but SNote still keep force close after installed.
So now I can't get back to stock rom :crying::crying::crying:
Still looking for solution...
Thank you.

Flashing over CWM will help
I think Flashing the S-Note app over CWM will help to restore it.

My phone was rooted and working fine now all of sudden I went to install a new zip and now it says error no such path error cant open file can not open data cache etc.. what happen and how do I fix it???
Please help
wow dont everybody help at once
What exactly are you trying to do? I mean you try to flash a zip with cwm? If so you go in to install zip and either choose the internal or external memory and choose the zip you want to install. Maybe you also need to reflash the cwm.

Hi
i figured out how to update my original firmware of 4.1.1 on my Note 2 N7105 LTE to 4.1.2 by downloading this tar.md5 (N7105XXDLL4_N7105TMHDLK8_TMH) through Odin
and it seemed to work because in "about device" it says im running 4.1.2 and it also seems to be a REALLY annoying European T-Mobile version because of the short and LOUD t-mobile video every single time i open and close my phone.
I also installed CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.5-jb which works perfectly (thank god)
now when i tried to boot the deodexed rom for N7105XXDLL4 through recovery via sd card. everything seems fine i can choose all the options in sequence and when i get to the end it tries to install (percentage bar) but stops very quickly and reboots me to recovery mode...the first time i did that it forced me to restore from backup (because it wouldnt boot at all) and the second time i did it it made me reboot and the samsung logo appeared followed by "android is upgrading 0 to 162" I WAS SUPPPPER HAPPPPY!! but i was crossing my fingers...low and behold the phone did boot but all the fonts and everything else were EXTREMELY tiny and a message kept popping up saying SystemSU has closed or something..
I obviously restored back to t-mobile 4.1.2 (hungarian)
Is there something wrong im doing during the installation? should i try and upload it through odin or something instead of through my sd card??and how do you do that?? i mean it cant be the wrong deodexed because i chose the first one for xxdll4 and it the installation does boot on my phone..
i mean everything looks great except for the fact that it stops at the beginning of installation and reboots me to recovery prematurely....
ANY HELP???!!!! THANKS!!!

Hello,
I recently received the OTA update and accepted, however it messed up some apps and I went to flash a stock LJC firmware via ODIN. The issue I have is ODIN keeps failing at the sboot.bin portion. I was previously rooted using mrRobinsons root method (flashing a rooted .tar file). I can't enter recovery mode because the phone gives me the error message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery in Kies and try again." I'm not at all familiar with Kies and any help would be incredibly appreciated.
If you can get into download mode and use odin, then can you download twrp 2.4.1.0 tar and use it with the PDA button in odin? Un-check auto reboot in odin, then when flash ends and sitting there a few seconds, pull the battery, hold voldown home and power, and put the battery back in while holding all 3. (Yeah I know it requires a 3rd hand haha).
It should boot into new twrp.
The download for twrp is google twrp2, then select sprint gn2, then on the download page find openrecovery*2.4.1.0*.tar
If you can do that then you should be able to flash a kernel and rom and firmware from there by just putting them on the sd card. I would use the ma7 one and not try to go back to ljc at least until you get working again and get more comfortable with flashing and recovering from bad flashes like this. I would try the ma7 rom and all-in-one firmware zips not the ma7 update.zip in your case. The update.zip requires a stock recovery to run and possibly a stock everything else too.

Remember don't wipe data. Flashing the twrp recovery, rom, kernel and firmware should be fine.
If you want to try something even safer just on the off chance your rom is ok just not bootable, you can try flashing just twrp and kernel snd see if it boots. If not then go back into twrp and flash the rom. The data may or may not be compatible with ma7 but nothing we can do about that. If the apps all crash then you could try flashing a ljc based rom and see if the data works on that. All else fails you may have to wipe data from twrp.
In all cases always wipe cache and dalvik from twrp each time you flash anything else.

Thanks for info but I can't seem to find a .md5 type file when I download the zipfile for twrp recovery. I try extracting and it's just an image file. Should I just select that as the PDA file to flash via odin? And I tried using Kies in the interim but my phone was stuck on the "connecting" animation when I plug my phone in.
Might be making progress... I'm working on an emergency recovery via Kies and it's about half way through. I really hope this at least lets me boot up the phone beyond just ODIN mode. Thanks for the help again KeyofR I'm going to keep searching for a md5 file of twrp recovery in the mean time.
EDIT: I think Kies is failing at the same part as ODIN when I tried to manually flash a LJC stock recovery (the sboot.bin portion). If anyone has a link to a md5 file of twrp recovery that would be awesome, I can't seem to find that type only "image" files.
EDIT #2: Bless you lol I just ran the actual .zip file in odin and it worked. I'm hoping I can just flash a stock rom I'll live with a complete wipe, I have everything important backed up. Thank you very much again!
What I said was grab the tar file not zip or md5. And don't unpack it. Just save it. In odin next to PDA browse an select that tar file. That will flash twrp to the recovery partition. You may need to do the crazy battery pull three finger salute battery insert thing to boot into twrp the first time. I don't know why that is, it just is sometimes. If you don't it tries to boot the regular os and if that succeds it somehow puts a stock recovery back and you have to flash twrp on again. Once you've booted into twrp one time, no more problem, just a one time thing.

do you have an ext sd card ? You can load a rom on that and just flash it from the ext sd card.
Do you still have a rom you can access to flash ?
If not try TWRP and flash it in odin and see if will let you flash a rom that way. down a bit is the odin flashable .tar file for it
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/104
if not then you might need to download a pre-rooted rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and flash it in odin.
Those are a few of your possibilities.
Hi,
I've rooted my Note 2 using ODIN on latest stock.
I tried flashing a zip file with Mobile ODIN Pro (checked Clear Dalvik Cache and Cache) but
it did something sort of Factory Reset. My root was preserved but apart from that, all gone.
I used the "Select file" option to select Xperia XZ player zip file.
Can anybody tell me why did it did a factory reset rather than just adding up the player ?
Now I'm thinking of adding a custom bootloader (please suggest which is the best one) so that I can flash with the zip files that appear everyday in xda.
Can anybody help me with that ? (I'm on rooted stock already).
Also, after I get a custom bootloader and flash any zip file, how can I undo the flashing if some problem occurs ?
And last, how can I revert to stock bootloader if required ?
Thanks in advance.

Isn't odin for flashing tar files?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I don't think you can flash .zip files using Odin it's only for .tar you well have to use Odin to install and custom recovery. Then MAKE A BACK UP... Then you can flash what ever you want as long as it's made for your phone
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
Odin does let you flash zip files, I've flashes a lot of, if files including kernels roms and mods
Doing a factory reset from Odin it will erase all the user apps and data from phone memory but will keep root intact
I suggest you to go ahead and install the custom recovery twrp or cwm for flashing zip files because it will let you make an n nanandroid backup
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
@apurva.giri Don't messup custom recovery with custom bootloader, there is no custom bootloader.
Another thing, you did wrong to flash zip with mobile odin
What you have selected 'Open file' option is meant to flash full ROM, If you want to flash flashable zip with mobile odin, you have to select OTA/Update zip option.
So u mean, all those flash files that appear everyday for customization, those can be installed via that OTA/Update zip option ?
And how would I remove them in case somethin goes wrong ?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Yes flashable zip files you can flash with ota/zip file option.
To revert back, If you have restore file ready with mode, you can simply flash that, but all developer doesn't provide it, in that case you have to backup all the files manually which zip file replaces.

Its not working. I tried flashing a few zip files, nothings appearing after flash n dalvik cache clearing.
