[Q] Please need help unroot my Galaxy Note 2 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi guys, I have had my Galaxy note 2 I317 for only 7 weeks now with the 4.3 update. A couple days after I had it, I rooted the phone. However, 2 weeks ago, the sim card reader stopped working. I contacted samsung since I was still under warranty and they told me to send the phone so they can fix now. Now while trying to unroot it, I flashed it using the wrong stock firmware. I used 4.1 instead of 4.3 firmware. Now the phone is stuck to the Samsung logo and I am so depressed. I need help finding the 4.3 stock firmware and telling me exactly what to do in order to unroot the phone, reset the binary count to zero, so that i can be able to send the phone to Samsung to be fixed.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can find Stock 4.3 ROM here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
If you can go into recovery mode you can flash "AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Odexed* Stock CWM Note 2" from recovery mode.
If not you can go into download mode and then flash "AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Odexed* Stock ODIN Note 2"
Also, if you want you can flash bootloaders too.

[Q] AT&T Galaxy Note 2 Stock Firmware

I really am tired of reading how Sprint, T-Mobile and International Note 2s have gotten their stock firmware available for download. Is there ANY way someone here can link me to or give me the stock unrooted firmware for AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317M ? I really want to Unroot my phone. I rooted it a couple of days ago using the Saurom ROM to get the multi-view on my phone. I used CWM recovery and Odin to make a backup of my phone's img prior to installing Saudom ROM. That means that the img of my phone that I backed up is the rooted version right?
Please help. I don't quite like the way my phone works while rooted. This is scary territory and I just want to go back to the way it was when I bought it I'll just wait for the ligit update from AT&T that will be coming hopefully later this month. So if anyone can provide me with the unrooted stock AT&T Note 2 Firmware, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
And I'm a noob so talk slowly

It took a few weeks after device release before Official tar got dropped on other carriers .
The same will be the case for ATT version.
The good news for Sprint etc they had developers capable of turning system dump into tar a couple days after device release.
Unfortunately are development isn't up to such task so were sol.
On a positive note - no pun intended.

No Pit Partition.. Am I bricked?

Hello,
2 Days ago my phone unlocked galaxy note 2 in the uk stopped working in the middle of the night, no idea how, My borthers phone stopped the same night also.
My friends note 2 got an OTA update the next morning but his is working fine.
SInce then my phone wont go past the first boot screen, it is completely stock and has no custom rom or root.
I took it to a samsung repair centre they put it in DL mode and they said i had a custom rom and they cant help..
Iv come home and i have tried to now flash a new firmware, i have then tried to flash CWM via odin but it comes up with a message..
No pit partition
then it fails...
Anyone have any ideas? what has caused this the OTA update? Both me and my brother bought the phones directly through samsung trade but my friend bought his through phones 4 u..
The update my friend got was N7100xxdmb2
ANy ideas or help is greatly appreciated
mods please delete, posting in AT&T thead in error, need internation thread...

Please help me, it's urgent. My Note 2 became a tablet..

Two days ago i bought Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 (international). It had android 4.1.2 but i saw there is available update. After update to official android 4.3 my phone lost signal and started showing me "Not registered on network". 1 day passed since i am searching how to fix this thing. Tried custom rom (4.4.2) and still the same. I went back to official 4.3 for UK O2 , successfully rooted it, passed knox, installed busybox, installed ARIZA Patch. Still the same. Tried to flash MJ5 bootloader via ODIN but it shows me FAIL. And after every FAIL my phone is bricked so i am flashing all over again official ROM. I have NO backups of my EFS (in my search i saw that i need some EFS to repair this thing). I got no issue with WI-FI but only with network. If i revert back to stock android 4.1.2 will i be able to call somebody? If the answer is "YES", would somebody tell me how? I saw in some threads that with new 4.3 ROM note 2 got knox locked bootloader which is impossible to be downgraded. Please, give me guide step by step what to do to repair my phone by myself. Thank you in advance.
I would suggest you to take an efs backup on 4.1. Then flash 4.3 and if you aren't getting network try restoring your efs backup. That might solve your problem.

Force Updating to 4.4.2 + Unlock

Hi All,
My wife's old AT&T Galaxy Note 2 - never been rooted - is still on 4.3.
So I went to Software update and it is saying that the update has been interrupted and I have to wait 24 hours. So I keep on restoring to factory defaults / changing the time trick -- and It still fails. I have clue why it can't pick up the updates from the AT&T Servers.
Is there a way to update it forcefully - Like using ODIN or something? The last time I tried this (even with the official AT&T ROM - it tripped the counter of my Galaxy Note 1). -- is it the same case with ODIN and Note 2?
Also, the more important question is - will I lose my SIM unlock if I update to 4.4.2 via ODIN or other methods?
Long time ago, I have used the trick *#197328640# and it worked wonders. Will I lose it in 4.4.2 ?
As much as possible, I don't want to root it because I will sell it and he doesn't want rooted phones.
Thank you.

Galaxy Note 8 , SGH-i467 (ATT)solution for 4.4.2 recovery?

Hello,
So I have the 4.4.2 Galaxy Note sgh-i467, it is stuck in the recovery mode,
I've been trying for some time already to contact Samsung to have some help with the device no luck, they ask me to go to USA or ship it to them for the fix. I have tried a few methods I found here on the forums but no luck with them also, maybe I missed something, basically my question is : was someone able to recover from 4.4.2 to a working tablet ?

I had the same problem and tried Kies and Odin as nothing else seemed apparent. Kies 2.6 would download the 4.4.2 update and show almost finished on the green bar indicator in download mode then Kies would freeze up on my Windows 7 computer and I'd have to end task on it and restart the tablet. There doesn't seem to be a KitKat ROM on sammobile or anywhere else I could find. I did find a thread in the development forum that I've since lost where a senior XDA developer had indicated he'd put in a request with Samsung's executive level of support to get a copy of the 4.4.2 ROM. I tried using Odin to flash the JellyBean image from sammobile, but that's what had caused my table to get stuck in recovery mode in the first place, so it didn't work. I've flashed plenty of ROMs on my GS4, so I'm no stranger to Odin but you seemingly can't go back to JB from KK thanks to the locked bootloader that comes along with it.
I was lucky in that I'm in the U.S. and could bring the Note 8 to my local Best Buy's Samsung Experience kiosk. After my fourth visit to the third Best Buy, I finally found a guy who reloaded the Note 8.0 with the 4.4.2 ROM. It's back up and running now with the stock 4.4.2 ROM.
Charcaroth I wish I could hit that thanks button a hundred times. The Samsung Experience Center @ Best Buy fixed my Note 8.0 that was hopeless just as you said.
Thanks for going above & beyond with your help via private message!
