Rooted and regretted. How to revert back?

Hey guys
I rooted my phone and now I discovered this is such a great phone I don't really need root access to do anything.
How can I completely revert back to its original state? I'm on international note 2 gsm. Hourly with status back to normal instead of modified.

Yes you can... Download the samsung galaxy note 2 toolkit and select unroot option form it. You might need to flash the original rom too..

You can simply flash stock rom using odin.

You should use triangle away before returning to stock for warranty reasons.

thanks everyone for helping me out. really appreciate it

Sprint note 2 rooted

If there's no such binary installed on my note 2 and I have a software update is it safe to install it without having problems?
I have no idea what rooted means I bought phone like this. Help please. Thanks

It basically means you can install non-official software on the phone such as different, lighter versions (less bloated) of the official ROMs as well as some modifications to make the phone faster or more conservative when it comes to battery usage.

To answer, yes you can install without breaking anything. When updated you may lose root though, there are certain apps out there to help you maintain root with OTA updates if you are wanting to keep it. but more than likely since you are rooted you have a non-stock recovery image. So when the update says rebooting into recovery it will go to your recovery and not install. You will simply reboot your phone and the update notification will be gone.

Although software updates usually break root, the most recent update for note 2 doesn't seem to do that. But it's always smarter to assume it will and protect your root somehow.

[Q] Wi-fi Note 8.0 (GT-N5110) - root using CF-Auto-Root OR Toolkit? Any issue?

I just got the Wi-fi version of the Note 8.0 (GT-N5110). I want to root it so I can run rooted apps (Titanium Backup, Helium, etc.) and not for installing custom-ROM.
One important thing I want to ensure is that when Samsung releases the OFFICIAL 4.2.2, I can still update it via Kies. I had the Galaxy Note 1 and I rooted it (forgot what I used to root) and when Samsung released the official Jelly Bean, I cannot upgrade via Kies, had to do Odin.
I see that there are 2 way of doing the root and I am wondering which one have LESS issue?
I. CF-Auto-Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683
- Created by ChainFire (creator of SuperSU?)
- WILL increase the flash counter (can be fixed with Triangle Away, but not sure if this works with Note 8.0)
II. Galaxy Note 8.0 Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251033
- I am still doing research, but it seems some people have issues based on the thread?

i. its work fine. i root my note 8 when it was in 4.1.2 and when upgrade it to 4.2.2
ii. some got problem with it. but not all.
btw both will increase your flash counter and can be fix with triangle away (make sure the latest one)

You have 4.2.2 already? I thought Samsung had not released the official update for the Wi-Fi version.

my device is 3g version

there are 4.2 roms out, so if you are rooted, you can install it..
and use CF autoroot; took about 3 minutes and is super easy..
and dont worry about the flash counter; why do people care about this any ways, it only comes in to play if you return this thing, and if you buy it at places like Best Buy, they usually dont care...

Thank you all!
I used the Toolkit, since it seems easier to revert to stock if I messed up.

Question on rooting, Adfree, rom,and brick?

I'm going to get t-mobile Note 3 on Black friday. I got a few question to ask.
1. What is the easiest way to root note 3 without device? Any problem with Samsung knox issue? Are there anyway way to avoid/not to do for not brikcing, or stuck in boot loop something like that.
2. Is there Adfree app I can install after rooting? I'm coming from Nexus 4 rooted, I can't stand with advertisement everywhere I go.
3. What is the best rom like Note 3 TW with little more features?
4. If I just rooted with my note 3 and installed Adfree, can I get update from Samsung or I have to unrooted it first?

[Q] Rooting and Unrooting without FLASHING ?

Hello,
I own a N5110 (Wifi) version of the Galaxy NOTE 8.0
The warranty is void since the first day... So I don't have a problem with rooting
I saw this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpMY1xqXBhU
But I've read the comments, ppl have problems!!
And I'm not sure if it works with N5110 or for N5100 variant only!
Another Q:
Will the UNROOTING Process be easy, or it'll require flashing?
Won't I receive updates from SAMSUNG while being rooted (Without custom ROM) ??

For the first question, I am not sure never rooted with that.
For the second question you do need to flash the stock. Usually people just do that to hide that it has been rooted. If it is for that purpose that you are asking, and you have flashed roms, I recommend using Triangle Away, because that erases the counter of how many ROMs you have installed.
If you are at the stock you will receive updates, and if you do the update you will lose root. I have done that in the past with my Droid Bionic. I do not recommend it though because it lagged the hell out of my phone

Well, what's the point in installing the STOCK ROM if I wanted to UNROOT in my case?? (I mean I've no warranty anyway)
Can I just unroot without flashing?
And Yes I know about Triangle Away, I've read about it recently.
For the first question>> what do you recommend for rooting NOTE 8.0 N5110 ?
Thanks

As far as I know(being doing this for 3 years) There is no way to unroot without flashing the Stock Rom. The only way to flash the stock is using odin.
Honestly I do not know the best easy way to do it. All depends on the version you are at. I was on the updated version(not sure the build number). That framework apk didn't work with the version I had. The way I rooted was by first unlocking, then installed the TWRP through odin, then flashed a zip that rooted my phone. I do not recall any of the links. For the files, I lost them all because I just got a new computer and I was dumb enough to not do the back up on the other computer. Also I dont remember if there was steps in between, so I dont recommend following what I mentioned .
the way that I did is very similar to this one:
