[Q] Can't get Recovery/Root. Need help please.

I NOW HAVE ROOT AND RECOVERY!
Thanks to mariostar32 and krankdroid!
Hi all,
I've just bought a Note II and am trying to get root. I've followed this tutorial carefully
HTML:
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-on-linuxubuntu/
and everything completes without error, but whenever I try and boot into recovery it just get a garbled Samsung boot logo and it never gets to recovery.
Now I can't go back to stock updates since my device has been modified, so I'm commited to getting root and custom recovery now.
Can anyone help me with what is going wrong?
Thanks

download the last version 4.1.2 and flash it via odin. If you need any help tell me.

I can no longer download updates from Samsung since I have tried to root it already.
I can't use Odin since I don't have Windows.
I have tried the method in the link above using Heimdall (Odin equiv. for Linux) and everything went fine (no errors, terminal output was as expected) but cannot get into any recovery (stock or custom)

Before you proceed with tutorial, make sure:
You have installed your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 USB drivers on your PC.
You need to enable USB debugging mode which is deactivated by default.
You smartphone should have 70-80% charge remaining.
Your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 should be factory unlocked.
Backup your important data like Call logs, SMS and other data in stored in phone memory so in case if anything goes wrong, your data is not hurt.
The update is only meant for Galaxy Note 2 N7100, so don’t try it on other variants.
Step 1) Download Android 4.1.2 XXDLK7 for Galaxy Note 2 N7100. " I can't post outside links so type in google galaxy note 2 xxdlk7 "
Step 2) Download ODIN v3.07. It's an old version but you can download a newer version of odin from google but it works np
Step 3) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button until you see Android logo with triangle on screen.
Step 4) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy Note 2 N7100 to your computer.
Step 5) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn yellow and will show the COM port number.
Step 6) Select the downloaded file to install by following below steps:
Click on PDA and select file with HOME or CODE in its name.
Now click on Phone and select file with MODEM in its name.
Next click on CSC and select file with CSC in its name.
At last click on PIT and select file with .pit.
Step 7) Again to to ODIN window and check Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options.
Step 8) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the installation process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
Step 9) When the installation is completed, your phone will restart. I hope that i helped you GoodLuck

I can't use Odin, there is no Linux version.
I've found the TWRP for the Note II:
HTML:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/115
Does anyone know if I flash the latest .img file from that using Heimdall will that give me a recovery to then install Super-SU from?
I've only just bought this phone and can't afford to buy another if I brick it, so I'm hesitant to just try without some expert knowledge.

you must be rooted first before putting twrp.

Ok, so how can I root it?
The only Linux tutorial I've found doesn't work since I can't get a working recovery in order to install Super-SU and get root.
Is there another way to get root? Or another method that might give me a recovery so I can get root?

Ok after you did the tutorial you got rooted or not ? download root check from play store and check

No I do not have root. I wish to get root access and install a recovery, then Super-SU.

Try this, It's a root way without odin.

You can get the mobile Odin that let's you flash firmware from the device itself.

Great! I'll get that to install TWRP or CWM then, since Heimdall seems to be corrupting the recovery when flashing it.
I've got root now (thanks to mario above!) so mobile odin is a good option
Thanks!

It's nice to see that you get rooted, nw download mobile odin and flash twrp.img

[Q] Problems with Odin - Stuck at "setup connection..."

Hi guys. I've got a problem..... I tried flashing CWM 6.0.3.4 to my Wonder, I open Odin, I choose files (Ancora.ops and CWM), Odin recognises my phone, but when I press "Start", the program gets stuck at "<1> setup connection..."
I tried changing USB cable, port, even Odin (I tried 4.43 - 4.38 and 3.98), but nothing has changed..... I am running Windows XP, and I have installed only Samsung USB Drivers, without Kies. But, as said before, Odin recognises my Wonder..... even tried on another XP computer, and have the same result...... please help me

Lol bro he's unrooted and trying to flash cwm. Don't you think it's pretty obvious he's using stock rom?
Bro, you have to root it first, only then you should flash CWM. Because you can't root using cwm. Anyway, root first then flash via terminal emulator. Should work.

By the way,do you know how to check my IMEI ? Maybe is something wrong with my IMEI beacouse before , i had TWRP with Android Revolution HD and i got Emergency Calls Only but i coudnt fix it,no matter what. My IMEI seems good,i mean i have normal numbers but since i remember it is ending in four zeros.

Your imei is written down of battery, but for checking it your phone must boot.
You tried to flash original firmware via odin?

Ok so the only option to get it back working was to install TWRP back and flash Android Revolution HD so i can check the imei in the system,and it shows like this:
004999010640000/01
On the back of the phone and on the original box is another IMEI as follows:
355xxxxxxx4671/1
So clearly my IMEI has been changed/damaged somewhere on the way. Don`t know when,and i don`t have an EFS Backup.
Thing is like follows: If i install TWRP (twrp-2.5.0.1-n7100) and then flash Android Revolution HD the phone works fine,the only problem that i have is the stupid Emergency Calls Only that i can`t fix beacouse everything that i patch or every fix that i try doing it,the phone restarts itself and goes into Samsung Bootloop.
If i flash CWM Philz (philz_touch_6.46.3-n7100) and try to flash Phoenix Rom it doesnt even get pass the blue Samsung Circle,same stupid bootloop.
So my problem is in fact the IMEI ? What do you think ? This is why all of my ROMS bootloops ? And this is why i always get Emergency Calls Only ?
Please help me out Vagsvag beacouse i am loosing my hope here.... This is my only phone and i`ve been trying to fix it since 2 weeks now...

When you say you tried to flash everything you include and original firmware unrooted etc via odin also and you have the same result?
If it is doing the same with original fw sorry but I don't know what you can do in this situation my friend, efs is a big sh1t if is corrupted and you haven't a backup. I had heard that Samsung service center can rewrite it but I don't have experience .
Please edit your message and delete the number of your imei, it is unique and personal.

I don't know if you try to flash the modem only over revolution HD via chainfire's mobile odin what will be happened.
For doing this install mobile odin lite http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899 download from end of the page the add-on for n7100 (it's kernel for n7100) also download latest firmware from Sammy or better fne1 (the same version with revolution HD rom), unzip it, copy to your phone and mount the firmware at mobile odin at the place which is saying modem and flash it. Other way to do this is to extract with 7zip the Samsung fw (unzip first and after extract the unzipped .tar.md5 file with 7zip) and take the modem.bin file, copy to phone mount it at mobile odin and flash it. If is difficult to do this post to search at my pc and upload the modem. I have it somewhere.

Thanks very much for your help Vagsvag,i will try and do exactly what you told me to,step by step right now,and if it works out man.... you are going to have a big donation from me. Hopefully i am going to bring my phone back to life.
Forgot to mention,here is a list of ROMs i flashed with ODIN but with no succes.
Odin ver.3.09 (Run in administrator mode)
Stock ROMs as follows:
- GT-N7100_BTU_1_20121003084149_ (This is a 4.1.1 but still bad imei) after i flashed it with ODIN
- ROM-N7100XXUFNL1-20150116192411 (This one was 4.2 i guess) Still bad imei
- XEF-N7100XXUFND3-20140425111035 (This one`s the latest 4.2.2) And still bad IMEI
And all of them (i think) are stock ROM`s (Or at least that i what i tried downloading) From different locations. NONE of them worked thow...
Then i tried Phoenix ROM,no luck there,then i tried Android Revolution HD and still no luck. BUT it seems that everytime i install Android Rev.HD and i press reboot system , TWRP keeps telling me `FIX ROOT etc....` Everytime i install the ROM...hm.... Guess it`s just stupid permissions but it doesnt matter for me. As i had no problems,everytime i installed it,it had supersu in it,and busybox,and rootacces. So it`s ok.
Now i will try what you told me to do,and we will see how that goes. I will reply soon. Thanks again man,you have one beer from me. Your patience is gold for me.

This is the modem of fne1. I don't remember if revolution HD working correct with mobile odin. Some roms don't restart to make the flash. When you mount the modem and you click flash now mobile odin will do restart to flash it, if you see to don't restart is necessary to manual restart to recovery push the power button and select reboot to recovery, this is important, don't do normal restart if it fails to restart do only to recovery to avoid corruption of your installed recovery, after this your phone will restart at mobile odin recovery and will flash the modem. Also check wipe dalvik cache at mobile odin, not really necessary but check it.
https://mega.nz/#F!eR8BCbCD!ga982JMkmdbthMtsBnVeKg
Check md5 before flash, md5 is

Also this is a good server to download original sammy fw

Now about donations etc thanks but are not necessary and also are not acceptable , the good feeling is enough

the second matter i noticed that when the start up i found the bluetooth icon trying to turn to green like i'm turning the bluetooth on but a few seconds it didn't turn on even i try to turn it ! the bluetooth doesn't work at all !
the third thing when i recieve a call that turn on the proximty sensor automatically if i touch the sensor the screen go black but i lose the control and give me no response at all and i have to remove the battery and turn it on again !
the things i noticed when i flashed the galaxy star rom with mobile odin that it has partion called param and the note to doesn't have it with its rom but have partion called modem which i didn't found in the galaxy star rom !
i need help please how i delete things that caused that conflict .. i tried to reflash the stock rom of my note with odin on my lap top but nothig changed and it hanging and the screen freezes with no control at all and that happened when i try to use a custom rom and flash it through the recovery .. please help urgently
sorry for my bad english

Two options I see:
1. Try to restore your device using Kies3
2. Flash newest firmware (get it from sammobile) for your region using PC-Odin.

Putting "need help urgently please :'(" does not help you in any way, in fact it makes it more likely that people will simply ignore the topic. Topic titles need to be descriptive, not generic non-descriptive.
Your problem is that like many newbies you cant be bothered to do research, read and learn before messing around with your device.
You should boot into download mode and flash a stock rom. Preferably a older one that doesn't have knox. Then flash a stock rom(without knox) in recovery mode. All the info you need is here on forum.

i forgot to tell that one of the things changed that my mobile lost the usb support in the normal mode as there is no change when i connect it to my pc except it charges only but it works in the download mode and when i reflash the stock rom v 4.3 the screen freezes after a few seconds of turning it on and i have to remove the battery .. do you think that flashing the 4.4.2 sthock rom will make a change ? as the solution of kies isn't possible due to the lack of usb support !
is there a way to format the sectors that the pation " param " which flashed by the sumsung star dous stock rom is in it and make that conflict to delete that ??

What was your last stock rom on your device before messing up?
I do absolutely not agree with those horror tales about knox, most people don't use and easily get rid of.
Do you remember your last bootloader? MK4 or above? Then don't take any risk by flashing 4.3 firmware and go straight ahead to 4.4.2.
It will be the safest way to get a working device again.

So you can also try the NA1 firmware, but nothing beneath that. NA1 is a knox enabled BL, so whatever you flash successfully will have Knox in it.
DON'T TICK REPARTITION!

OK, I see. Try a wipe from stock recovery, wipe all possible.
Another option: Kies!
I know, you said not recognized but you must get it to work. Uninstall all drivers from PC an re-install drivers until Kies can restore your device.
Very last option: Find a Samsung repair near to you.

As you mentioned you already have been on NA1 firmware and as it seems you have flashed latest 4.4.2 with "a kind of success" I find it hope- and useless to even try this rescue rom. Bootloader is the reason why you can't successfully flash. NO DOWNGRADE POSSIBLE.

Can you illustrate your words ? For kies it's unpossible to connect my mobile to any pc the drivers works perfectly for any similarphone the fault is in my mobile not the driver and for sumsung care it will be high cost as the warranty ended ! And I wipe every thing possible through the stock recovery but noyhing changed !

I am beginning to lose my patience cause you don't follow my advice or even don't consider that I am right.
Look into system on your PC if there is an unknown device.
Whenever hardware is connected to PC Windows starts to search for drivers.
It doesn't matter that other devices are recognized correctly.
Wipe all Samsung drivers and re-install. Even re-install Kies too.
Start Kies and try restoration, maybe it will fail, but try. AND with current drivers you are supposed to fail.
At last: Try to find a friend with knowledge who can help you at your home or his.

[Q] Trying to install firmware, but Odin failed and now phone won't boot

I was trying to install the latest firmware on my son's M919 via Odin 3.09. I downloaded M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB from SAMMOBILE and went to Odin to install. The installation failed. The error said Fail (auth). Now when the phone boots, it goes to a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I downloaded both versions of Kies, but neither one can see the phone in Firmware emergency recovery. I can still get into Download mode, but have been unable to successfully flash any stock firmware. I notice on the screen that the phone says SYSTEM STATUS: Official and WRITE PROTECTION: Enable. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It is possible that the file you downloaded from sammobile did not finish correctly and is corrupt. Try redownloading it and try it again. I dont think it will make any difference but I usually will use odin 3.07.

I have downloaded files a couple of times. Even downloaded the file from the post in the General section of this forum. Used 3.09 and 3.07, all with the same results. I am using Windows 8 if that makes a difference. May try it on Windows 7 when I get a chance.

I used to have that a problem with my desktop that has windows 8. Recently I have been using my windows 7 laptop. There are different drivers needed when you are in download mode, plug it in when the phone is in download mode and let it search and find the drivers. You might even want to reinstall the samsung mobile drivers. I would also recommend to use the usb cable that came with the device. Best of luck.

It finds the drivers. I have done this on my Note 8.0 without issue. Not sure why this phone is giving me such grief.

The phone does show up in Odin in the com box correct? Even so I would still just do it on a Windows 7 computer.

Uninstall kies and try again. You can also try different USB ports

Had you previously been using the modem/baseband from a firmware that you weren't officially on? i.e. NB4 modem/baseband on either MDL or MK2 bootloader? If so, revert just the modem to your bootloader version and then attempt the Odin flash again.

Honestly, I am not sure which version he was on. I had assumed the latest or at least 4.3. How would I install just the modem?

Yes, Odin sees that there is a device on the COM port.

Success. Windows 7, 4.4.2, and Odin 1.85. Flashed without issue. Thanks everyone.
