[Q] Broken screen - how to unroot, reset counter and factory reset - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all !!
I had a little problem with my phone. Somebody hit my pocket and I have broken screen. I think it's completely broken, screen is black, no touch response, nothing, zero, null
Phone is visible via adb and I successfully downloaded all my personal data from phone memory to my pc.
I want to sell this phone, but first I need to clear phone memory (my apps, my setting, my photos), because I can pay and repair it in Samsung Poland and keep my warranty.
Phone is rooted, has custom rom and pattern lock. I know how to flash stock rom via Odin, but it doesn't help me with binary counter.
What can I do? Need to make factory reset (I don't want pattern lock anymore), make counter reset (from 1 to 0) and unroot (is it possible via Odin)?
Thank you guys a lot for your help
There's picture of my phone

Hi, hmm..
If you reflash your stock ROM you'll wipe the data.. so best way is to reflash the stock ROM and thats how u unroot too. But not sure how for resetting counter with no screen.
Give me A THANKS button if i helped

Yes it will. Flashing a stock ROM will delete everything, phone becomes fresh and new.nothing inside it.
Flash the ROM via Odin 3. I know ur screen is broken but u can still get to download mode,press volume down+power button+home buttons at the same time. And keep pressing them for like 5 to 8 seconds, and then press volume up to proceed. THEN u can flash the firmware through odin 3.
Give a thanks button if i helped please.

I didn't root her or anything. Is there a program to return to stock and erase all data? I am not new to rooting and the pic above is what happens when i get to the recovery screen.
There is a bricked thread further down... thinking you haven't quite bricked it yet... may just need to reflash recovery but read the thread before you do anything cause I have not run into that yet...

If I understood correctly he never rooted which means never installed the a200 bootloader which means he can't flash recovery.
Best I can suggest is the method of placing an Acer legit ROM named update.zip on the root of external SD, then boot holding volume down and hope it works.
Edit: did you try a hard reset?
Iirc power on holding volume down and once the vibrate happens toggle the lock switch and it'll reset for you. Keep holding volume down while toggling the switch.

I tried what you said about 4 times. it doesnt seem to respond to what u say. And you read my post correctly, I havent rooted or done anything to this tablet and it baffles me that it wont start up normally and appears to be soft bricked. 2 out of the 50 times i was able to get some sort of cwm screen and it would let me go up and down but it wouldnt let me select my choice. i am really having a hard time right now
I have update on my sd card and is in the tab, this is what happens when i hold volume down and power. makes 3 screens....
Did you do the hard reset too?
Also, the brick issue doesn't require being modded, it happens even on stock.

As far as I know I am, but feel like I might be doing it wrong

Hard Bricked - can't get into download mode

I have a very serious problem. I've managed to brick my device. I decided I wanted to install CM 10.2 on my E988 (Taiwan version) but it didn't work. I rooted, installed freegee and also had cwm. I put the files on my sd card and then formated data, cache and dalvik cache. When I tried to install from sd card it said can't partition non-vfat. So i decided then that I would push the files using adb to my devices internal storage. I managed to do this but when I did it said installation aborted. It didn't have anything else in the log. At the moment I can access cwm but I can't seem to do anything with it. I can also charge my device but the charging image is missing.
When I try to access download mode it comes up with the factory hard reset screen which does nothing.I am at the moment downloading the stock image kdz file but I don't think I'll be able to do anything with it.
When I boot up my phone it still says that freegee is installed.
I got the CM rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439827
On that thread it says that you need to remove the first four lines of text in the updater-script file. However, in notepad, it depends on how big your window is to how much four lines of text is. Further into the thread, a user asked how much was actually meant to be removed and someone replied with all the way up to 'mount'.

Try, Remove battery and put again your device, hold Volume "-" and Home button and Power button, after display confirm put power button 3 time.
It's OK. It turns out that to get into download mode you don't have to press the power and volume buttons, you just have to press both the volume buttons and then plug in the USB

Sorry, that my guide to hard reset device.

N5110 Device issue

Hi everybody, i have one GT-N5110 with issue. The issue is: ROM is damage, EFS is damage (i think) and cache partition can't be read by recovery, and when device is switch on the screen (backlight) is blinking with freq 10 - 15 Hz
So, some history:
Three days a go, one client give this tablet to me, with the issue of firmware. He told me that in past, he updated the firmware (ODIN) to N5110XXDNF1_N5110XEODNF1_HOME.tar.md5 and the firmware was damage. He does not have root and custom recovery.
When i first turn on a device, it was a note, that device is corrupted (or some thing like that) please use Kies to recovery. Kies doe's not wanna recover the device without recovery key, he even тще see him.
Well i trued to make a custom recovery (CWM) and device booted to recovery with issue of "can't mount cache/ recovery/ log. True install the firmware from recovery, wont start, going to reset.
What should i do? Only switch the motherboard?

Wow. There could be a bunch going on here. Can you get into download mode and if so, have you tried to Odin a stock package onto the tablet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773712
If you already tried this, what does it do?

[Q] In Dire Help! Need Fix!? Phone not receiving calls!

Hello!
So I wanted to change my STOCK ROM and get ROOT but without knox so I tried flashing ShinySides STOCK ROM fond here. After flashing the ROM and the kernel. I turned on to find out that WiFI is not working. Scrolled through and the dev said I need to flash the modem. Tried that through Odin 3.07 by selecting phone "PHONE" with only "Auto Reboot" (through Download) mode and that didnt work.
I tried Fennys Kernel with WiFI Fix and the Wifi worked but the phone became super slow. Along with this, my phone doesnt alert me if someone is calling and it only shows after someone has called! Tried flashing Fennys ROM and but error says "aborded (status 7)"
I tried reflashing the kernel on Shinyside using the PDA Option with his software. The Wifi stopped working, and I cant recieve calls and system is slow!
I tried fixing my build.prop but thats not working too!!
I dont know what to do anymore! I really need help! Ive been trying to fix this for 5 hours!
Here are my phone settings saying right now:

Try a double flash.
Uncheck auto reboot in odin
Flash rom then pull battery from phone and usb cable. Reinsert both then boot into odin mode again and flash with auto reboot this time.

What should I flash? What file? Modem? (Sorry if it sounds like im going crazy but my phone is slow, everything crashes, and i cant make or recieve calls cuz the phone app is crashing)
Also, when u say "flash" ODIN? What option do i select? PDA? Phone?
Just flash the latest firmware. Your phone is misbehaving because you matched modems and NON-HLOS. After that you should be back to normal and can flash the rom again with no problems

Bricked GT-I9195 Galaxy S4 Mini?

Im stuck the phone shows the logo then goes blank and nothing happens. I tried rooting with odin using CF-Auto-Root-serranolte-serranoltexx-gti9195.tar it says pass and turns green after 2 minutes but its still the same issue. Is this phone a goner? please let me know what I can do, I tried using recovery.tar.md5 aswell with no help. Thanks in advanced

Hold volume up +Home and power button, go into recovery menu and do a factory reset.
Or install kies and flash your firmware.

I tried kies but it didnt recognize my device when i connect to the pc it fails to install MTP driver.... im stumped and would appreciate any other suggestions. Thanks
Try download your intended firmware from www.sammobile.com and install it through odin and do a factory reset clear cache.
