[Q] A few rooting questions.

I am new to all this so just wanted to ask a few things.
I just installed TWRP and rooted with this tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525630
Everything went well.
If i flash the stock firmware back on the device does that also remove the root and the TWRP recovery and replace it with the stock recovery?
Also, if i had to return it for service is there a way of making sure samsung don't detect it has been rooted?

When you flash Stockrom with Odin ,you lost root and it flashed stockrecovery, so all is original.

Power down your device and put it into download mode. To do this, press and hold the Home + Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously for 3 to 5 seconds until you see the warning screen. Check tha binary cound number. If it is 0 you are Ok. If its not 0 you lose your guarantee.

Look to sammobile site for stock rom and choose your region (country you live).

You can do it before and after flashing the stock rom.

you should be good
if current binary and system read custom then you're boned
i don't know if there's a sneaky samsung flash counter hiding somewhere though

I'm not 100% sure,but on this device there have no flash counter.
The complete way to theck that all original is to go to settings and press software update , its all fine ( original ) than come info, there update avaible or your Tab is modified.

quick question
so does binary refer to recovery ? [custom/official]
if so can a custom recovery be hacked to mask itself as official
like adding a false checksum or the right magic in a hex editor ?

The first versions of the T210 do have a flash counter. Mine shows over 300 flashes (lots of recovery testing) when I'm in Download mode. They apparently changed the bootloader on the newer devices and it no longer shows flash count in Download mode, but they may have just hidden it.

I got a refund in the end, went and got a galaxy tab pro 8.4.

[Q] Should I consider this N7100 emmc is dead?

The image in the picture is the only thing it shows when I try to turn it on normally. It will get in download mode normally so I tried to flash a bootloader and ODIN said there is no PIT partition. I don't know much about samsung phones but reading some posts the only explanation I can figure is that the emmc died.
The thing is that on the download mode I can see the model and the knox count.

U r able to get into download mode......so that is not the sds or wht u say emmc dead....just flash a stohk firmware via Odin and follow the instructions properly.....make sure that u uncheck repartition. ....that shld sovle the issue.....
Hope this helps. .......cheers:good::good:

My international Note 2 is doing this exact same thing, it's there anyone who could help? When I try to flash with odin, it tells me No Pit Partition.

Dear all
You have an eMMC failure.
My Note 2 had the same issue where the product name did appear in download mode however no amount of flashing (ROM or PIT) solved the issue. ODIN always failed with the message "there is no PIT partition"
This was aslo confirmed by a workshop i sent the phone to for fixing.
Solution is new motherboard or eMMC chip replacement
Best of luck

[Q] SGH-I317 - Cannot Get To Recovery Mode

I cannot get my Note 2 into recovery mode. I am able to get to download mode and have tried installing a few different ROMS through Odin. The install results in a "Pass" but the phone does not make it past the Samsung boot screen. I have tried a few of the suggestions on different postings in the forums but haven't had success. I am somewhat new to the rooting community and am in need of assistance with this, I am getting nowhere on my own. Thanks in advance for any assistance you all can offer.

You didn't mention if you ever flashed a custom recovery.

Sorry for the lack of details. I am sure I made a rookie mistake but heres the process that got me to where I am now:
I was rooted on 4.3 (used CF Autoroot). I was attempting to upgrade to 4.4.2 using EZKat's zip file, installing it from an external sd card throuh recovery mode. I did get that to take, but was having issues with the Samsung keyboard crashing (I now know there is a second file that fixes this, but got that info too late). So thinking I had made a mistake at that point I attempted to revert to the stock 4.1.2 rom, which also took. However, I then got a notification for an OTA update, and I went for it (probably a bad choice?).
The OTA update completed but on the reboot it started hanging at the Samsung logo. And that is where I am stuck now. I can get to download mode and Odin still lets me flash roms and gives me a "Pass" but the phone never gets past the boot screen freeze and I cannot enter recovery mode to factory reset or clear cache.
Thanks for your replies, I appreciate any assistance you have to offer.

The first file is a 4.3 rom you can flash but the 2nd file is the bootloader and when I did the ota from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 you have to flash that mk6 bootloader to make it boot

Just use cf auto root and make sure you get the right recovery and put it in the pda or ap slot in odin or you can flash a stock custom rom that's rooted already like the one I'm on

Note 2 I sent out of state is also stuck. I had downgraded to 4.1.1 to root it and left it there. It did work for a little bit, but not now. Will just flashing the bootloader file do the trick or do we have to flash the ROM too?

If it won't boot on 4.1.1 you might have to go up to 4.3 or 4.4.2 to make the phone work again I tried to go back to 4.1.1 and I couldn't get it to boot but I didn't try flashing the bootloader but it won't hurt anything if it don't work

[Q] Possibly bricked phone and need any form of help

I have a Note 2 i317 and I was using Cyanogen mod, but that doesn't mater, because I am now stuck with default modem, recovery, and kernel. I need to find a way to get the stock ROM or any ROM for that matter on the phone with out USB debug.
This means
I can't use ODIN or KIES or ADB pretty much my only options are using a microSD card to some how push an update without using ADB, so does anyone have an idea on how I could do this? Or if it's even possible

If the phone is in download mode you don't need ADB . So put your phone in download mode start odin or check device manager (windows) if it is showing connected then flash the firmware for your device i would recommend doing a factory reset through stock recovery after it is finished

Help With Root and Going Back To Stock Firmware Problems N910p

Hey guys im kinda new here and english isnt my native language so mind the punctuation and bad english
so here goes
I have a Note 4 910p which was working fine until i decided to root it with the cf-root method for note 4 available on XDA . everything went fine but i needed root to install few ported stuff from other brands. I wanted to install a ported SONY XPERIA CAMERA , for that i needed a recovery i installed a CWM recovery , i installed the camera and after flashing it and finishing of the work , in the end it asked me if i wanted to root. i didnt know what to do i click okay. so it rooted after that my cell booted and the touch calibration was off . i fixed that by *#2663# code .
the main problem im facing is that after the whole process i cannot install any apks, like i can click the install button but as soon as it starts installing i get an error "App not installed . Package may be corrupted" i thought it was with just one apk file. i tried multiple apks on my cell and other cells. its working on other cells but not on mine. secondly i cannot seem to activate the Private Mode no matter how much i try. i have tried factory resetting it from the OS. ive tried factory reseting it from the CWM recovery. everytime i factory reset the calibration goes whack.
I downloaded 2 different STOCK FIRMWARD Tar files but every time i try installing them , its starts installing and ends with
AUTH Fail in Odin
Please help me.
PS : The Camera Apps From XPERIA package stay no matter how many times i factory reset please help

if it helps i cant post images but i can give u the spec and other details of my cell if it can help u people in understanding my problem

Are you pulling battery out and waiting 20 sec before you boot to download mode?

I see you have cwm try flashing twrp
---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------
You can find a zip for twrp so you don't have to use odin
---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------
If you just want 100%stock you will need odin so keep trying deferent version of odin, reboot pc and start fresh also boot into download after you pull the battery
Because if you want to use Kies you will need stock recovery even for ota's you need stock recovery so best bet is to get odin to work properly

thank u guys for ur quick response. i couldnt find the proper solution for the APK and Private Mode problem but i did manage to find the solution for going back to stock
What i was doing wrong was that i had the OTA update upto 6.01 and i was trying to flash a 5.0 firmware tar . i was researching where i came across that after the 5.01 update u cant downgrade to older one thats y i was facing the
AUTH Fail
Error while using ODIN thank u all for ur help and suggestions
