Only replacement software of Odin is Heimdall for Mac, AFAIK. Search Google for it.

only way to do this without a mac is to push files through using ADB and flash it old school, i warn you its note for the faint hearted but you are going to need to get a stock boot.img stock recovery.img and a stock rom, get the files on your device and then flash your rom, flash your boot and then flash your revovery.
If your returning this to samsung before you do anything you are going to need to purchase triangle away and reset flash counter aswell.
Tbh your best off borrowing a mates laptop downloading the note 2 toolkit and do it that way but its your phone bro.

Download latest stock rom for your country directly into phone.
Flash it via mobile odin.
If you want to return phone to service center then leave a comment and I will tell you the procedure.

hi, im new to android but from what i read here maybe you should download the stock rom 4.1.1 that you had on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
than just flash it with odin.

Look 'N7100 all in one ' in my signature, download and flash any rom as said in op.

Thank you both for quick response....If I want to revert back to 4.1.1 then is there any extra thing i have to do?? or to download any 4.1.1 firmware and simply flash via ODIN???

Yes simply download and flash using odin
If you get bootloop then you have to wipe cache and data from recovery.

Firmware update using mobile odin

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
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

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?

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?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

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.

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

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.

[Q] can i flash older firmware using Odin?

Hey guys so i have heard that if i install the old firmware for my s4 from sammobile using Odin one from early 2013 that it will give me access to service menu so that i can unlock my phone. So my question is that is it 100% safe to Odin flash the older 4.2.2 rom when i am on 4.3? Can i flash it unlock my phone then upgrade my phone to a custom rom again? Thank you i also am running a custom rom and have philz recovery installed.
Sent from my SGH-M919V using xda app-developers app

If you are on 4.2.2 bootloader then yes, if on 4.3 bootloader then no, but you can try downgrading modems instead.. Also is the ROM you are on aosp/cm or tw based?

If you update to 4.3 by one of the following methods you're out of luck:
-OTA update
-Kies update
-Odin flash the full 4.3 firmware.
Like mentioned above, if you only flashed a 4.3 ROM but keep your MDL(4.2.2) bootloader you can go back.

Faaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkk i did Odin flash the full 4.3 Damnit stupid Samsung why the hell would they block downgrading? Okay so if i did try to Odin flash the older firmware what would happen? I doubt it'll hard brick my phone right i could prob try it if it doesn't work then I'll just Odin flash 4.3
