So, you want to switch from DN3 (Custom ROM) to the Stock Firmware available for your device?

1. What is your device model number?
2. I assume that you are familiar with flashing ROMs, right?

Here's the detailed steps to install the Stock Firmware for your device:
1. Head to the download page, this is the UNmodified firmware provided ‘as is’ from Samsung/carrier servers. [Don't forget to choose your location]
2. After download is complete, extract the downloaded file and you should get a MD5 file.
3. Enter the download mode form your device [normally by holding the volume up button + home button + power button]
4. Connect your device to your PC.
5. Start Odin.
6. Odin should recognize your device, and you can tell so by seeing that the first slot from the upper left is taken, if not then you need to install a driver for your device. [I personally just download Kies and it automatically download the proper driver for your device]
7. Click on PDA from Odin and browse to the extracted MD5 file.
8. Press Start.
9. Do not unplug your device until the process is fully completed.
10. The phone will reboot and you should see a Pass! on Odin, which means the process was successfully accomplished.
Don't proceed with any step of the past steps unless you fully understand every single one of them, if you have any difficulties understanding anything feel free to ask!

Thanks, will flash it when download finishes.

Downloaded and flashed, stuck on Samsung logo with a weird sound.

if you do all of instructions well, and didnt worked, then...
I THINK your problem will be solved by this way:
If you have installed samsung stuck recovery, or whatever ,now, just enter it by holding vol+ , home button and power button
then do all wipes. restart in download mod by holding vol-, power button and home button. after you've done it, then flash the stock official firmware in odin by given instructions
if I helped you press thanks button!:good:

These instructions mentioned above should work but, I higly recommend wiping user data ( only) multiple times [through recovery] and rebooting, then wait patiently for Samsung's logo as it usually takes longer times at first boot, If this didn't work, then I'd say doing what fellow member Reza Kashkuli recommended.

have u tried flashing philz recovery from odin there is an option to untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery)
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

some people may can go into cwm by pressing volume up + power + home simultaneously. .. i already fix it.. during we push volume up + power + home, once at the logo of samsung, realease only the power button and keep pushing the volume up + home. It works at my note 2 to go into cwm.

Hi Guys, My phone is made in Vietnam. The language I see in download mode is Vietnamese. The baseband version is N7100ZHDMB1.
It says it is rooted, I have super user and titanium backup running but whenever I try to reboot to CWM the screen flashes gibberish and then goes to the Samsung Note II logo.
Should I still try this method?
The phone works fine but I want to run another ROM.

had the same issue. downloaded latest philz touch & flash by odin. rebooted & all is good. Now will root using Dr Ketan Multi Tool

Please have patience with this noob. When I look through titanium backup all the firmware programs have N7105HDMB1 while the "About Device" menu in settings say N7100HDMB1.
Which one of the Philz downloads should I use, N7100 or N7105?

Solved!
I used the Philz for N7100 and I am cooking with gas!!!!

Hi, I had a similar problem a day ago, I corupted CWM and couldn't boot into android, When i started my phone a samsung logo appeared and then black screen, I could access download mode ( Power button, Volume - and home button ) So all you do after you enter download mode is download Odin multi downloader, and a flashable ClockworkMOD recovery, ( PM me if you want links ) and flash it into the phone, after that just reboot the phone and you will be just fine.

Hey,
First put your phone into download mode and plug it in to your PC and make sure Odin recognizes it, then add Ancora.ops in the OPS window and the recovery.tar.md5 in the One package window. Also make sure that One package , Auto reboot and Protect OPS are checked, you should uncheck reset time because i've hear that it is causing some problems. Then just click the " Start " button and sit back, you phone will be back on in few minutes.
Just a question : Did you have any android installed when you corrupted the recovery? If yes, after you flashed the recovery the phone will reboot and will boot into android, if not then just flash the rom file if you already have one in your sdcard/internal storage.
Your phone is soft-bricked, don't worry, it will be back and running again :laugh:
I just corrupted my recovery on my phone on purpose to try if the cwm recovery works. And yes, it worked, so it should work on your phone too.
Good luck flashing your recovery, Please answer back because I want to know if this method worked.
Here are the files, just extract the rar file

Finally i have KitKat!!
Finally Solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After long days and hundred tries, it works finally. The story is as below:
1- I failed to download the CWM 6.0.4.5 directly in this state using ODIN,
2- I downloaded the stock (Yes old 2.3.6 ginger bread ROM) using ODIN. However this version keep rebooting and never completed the start up.
3- With ROM installed now (even it's not booting), i tried to download older version of CWM using ODIN (CWM 5.0.4). It was successful!!
4- I tried to do the restore for my old system, but it failed as i did backup with newer version.
5- I flashed Monster ROM (4.2.2), it works wonderful.
6- I downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.5 finally using ODIN.
7- Now i'm using 4.4.2 on my mobile finally.
Advice: Never do a flashing to your mobile when you are not fully concentrating what you are doing. Also, make sure to download the right tool and ROM for your device.
Thank you for everyone who tried to help me.

My Note 2 is stuck on the "Samsung GALAXY Note II GT-N7100" screen at boot. Only by flashing a stock ROM through ODIN can this be fixed. When I try to install a custom recovery and ROM on it, it gets stuck again at that screen.

Hold down power button for 5~10 secs. after it stucks on boot logo, and try if it reboots normally.
Or press Vol. up + Menu key and then power key for 5~10 secs it'd boot your phone into recovery mode.

Please reread my post. It's a persistent issue. Rebooting doesn't do anything. Recovery doesn't do anything.

I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue to mine and how to flash a custom rom after that. The only way I've found for the phone to work was to use ODIN to flash the stock firmware on it. After that, if I try to install a custom ROM, it goes back to the SAMSUNG screen at boot.
So if you, jikre, know how to fix this issue, I'm all ears.

This method has fixed numerous problems. Might be worth a try.

If you wanted to install custom rom, if so, you can't flash it through Odin (Only for flashing for Official stuff ). Download a custom rom, whichever you wanted(Copy that rom on externel SD), reboot into recovery and by selecting 'wipe data and cache' >> 'clean to install a new rom'.
Then again coming to main menu select Install zip from sd, and redirect it to rom file which you've downloaded. In any custom rom like DN3, SenSonic they've full procedure for flashing the rom, just stick to it to install it perfectly...

Got you man, i'm just saying that this problem of yours is come with the Andro v4.3 and knox bootloader. First if anyone tried to install custom recovery it get stuck on bootlogo, but that is an another factor you can reboot it manually into recovery menu.
On the end when you attempt to reboot (from recovery) it asks you to disable stock recovery and you reboot your phone normally, that's it!

Ah okay, that makes sense. Unfortunately that doesn't apply to my situation. I had already been on a 4.3 custom rom for several months when the phone just died like that. As of right now, I can only get it to work if I flash a stock ROM on it.

My phone on bootloop, and Odin is not working.

Hello. I'm not a developer or anything, but I do think that I know some things about technology. I have been trying to fix my GN2, AT&T. I have rooted it, and I did something bad, and now I don't even have access to recovery. Sorry if this question was posted some where else, but trust me. I've searched everywhere to find a way to fix my phone. Oh, and I do have access to download mode. Well, I did saw on a other post that you have to flash a ROM, via Odin to fix this. It did not work. It's my first time using Odin, but I put the .tar file in to the PDA section, and clicked start. (Of course with my phone plugged in to my laptop on download mode). After like 30 minutes, it failed. I tried some other USB ports, but it did not help. Please help me. I don't know what to do.

No worries. Did you take a 4.3 backup before flashing 4.4.2 ?
If not, just ODIN back to 4.1.1 LJ2 like in Post #1. Then flash a custom recovery and you can then flash one of the 4.3 ROMS.
Oh look here's one ...:laugh:

Flash the 1.75 version then scroll down and do the 2.0 Update.
You can do that after completing Post #2 and following these steps under Option #2 in Post #3
OPTION 2:
You will need to flash a custom recovery. I'm detailing a TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP) install
Here is an explanation of TWRP and how to use it to flash the [ROM][4.3][Dec-2013] AT&T I317-UCUBMK6/MJ4 *Stock* Rooted
http://www.addictivetips.com/android...devices-guide/
by Haroon Q Raja
Here are other ways to install a custom recovery on your Android phone
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/...-phone-device/
Also by Haroon Q Raja
INSTALLING TWRP 2.6.3.1
- Run Odin3 v3.07.exe
Download Link http://www.mediafire.com/download/772dlmuaxfgm0x2/Odin307.zip
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Plug into a RELIABLE usb port and a RELIABLE usb cable (preferably the white Samsung cable) and wait for it to show up in Odin (COM5 or something like that)
- Click the PDA slot in Odin and locate the openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar that you downloaded.

No worries. Did you take a 4.3 backup before flashing 4.4.2 ?
If not, just ODIN back to 4.1.1 LJ2 like in Post #1. Then flash a custom recovery and you can then flash one of the 4.3 ROMS.
Oh look here's one ...:laugh:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704375
Flash the 1.75 version then scroll down and do the 2.0 Update.
You can do that after completing Post #2 and following these steps under Option #2 in Post #3
OPTION 2:
You will need to flash a custom recovery. I'm detailing a TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP) install
Here is an explanation of TWRP and how to use it to flash the [ROM][4.3][Dec-2013] AT&T I317-UCUBMK6/MJ4 *Stock* Rooted

INSTALLING TWRP 2.6.3.1
- Run Odin3 v3.07.exe
Download Link http://www.mediafire.com/download/772dlmuaxfgm0x2/Odin307.zip
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Plug into a RELIABLE usb port and a RELIABLE usb cable (preferably the white Samsung cable) and wait for it to show up in Odin (COM5 or something like that)

Sorry. I was really sick. I'll try it today.

Glad you were able to get it fixed. I had the same issue a few weeks ago. I'll compare your thread to mine to see the differences that got us the same problem...assuming they are the same. My thread about it is here

[Q] Locked my phone!! Want to save data!!

Problem is I'm using Jellybean and my phone is locked and I forgot the pin!! Now, when I try to flash TWRP kitkat version it stays on stock recovery, same with Cwm recovery!!
Thats why I need the Jellybean version of the twrp recovery!
But I tried to download jellybean version of recoveries from xda and several other sites but it is erased from everywhere!!
Kindly provide a new link for downloading if anyone has it still.
Thanks in advance!!

No, you don't need an older version. You simply aren't installing it correctly. Follow the instructions EXACTLY as shown the recovery thread.

As I expected, you did not follow the instructions properly. The instructions direct you to "uncheck auto-reboot in Odin". You did not do this.

Directly from the instructions:
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).

When you get into recovery, flash the SuperSu zip to root.

Yes, depending on what data you want. But you will need the custom recovery working first.

Awesome
I will try what you instructed me when I wake up its 2:28 am here!!
