Are you rooted? If you arent, you should be able to get the update straight from google because you won't be able to flash it without your phone being rooted and also without a custom recovery. Do you have cwm or twrp?

If you have the official zip from Google, you can use thishttp://rootzwiki.com/topic/13819-how-tovzw-return-to-factory-state-unroot-and-relock/ as a guide. You'll have to change the file names, but it's a start.

Since the user is not knowlegable, I suggest wugfresh's toolkit because its a one-click thing.
*if you are rooted
You just plug your phone in and click flash stock + unroot. This will download the newest firmware and also put into your device for you. Also use the OEM lock if you don't went to be rooted anymore.

It goes into fastboot mode by itself. Or do you mean that ADB is not found?
If ADB is not found then go to settings > about phone > and tap build number 7 times
Then hit back and go into developers options and tick android debugging and try it again.
An alternative way is to power your phone OFF and click volume up + volume down + power button all at the same time! This will put it into fastboot mode and when you plug in your phone and click unroot device, instead of having device is on/normal, have the other option ticked instead

All ROMs have their advantages. Now it depends on what you are looking for.
If you are looking for performance, I would suggest Vanir, AOSPA, Rubik
If you are looking for visual customizations then CM, AOKP are awesome
You will also find more ROMs which are a combination of 2 or more ROMs.
Just go through: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1339
Choose something, flash it!
Since every phone is unique, you will have to fins the "best ROM" yourself!
Happy flashing bud!

[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

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 !

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.

nice write up. you might want to note that after the recovery is flashed. do not reboot the device system. i did it twice on accident and both times, because after the flash, it stays in download mode. the system re-installed the stock recovery. so what i did was hold: vol down, home and power to reboot back into download mode then from there i hit vol up to cancel. then as soon as the phone is about to reboot, i did the: vol up + home + power button combo to boot into the new recovery. *my phone didn't let me boot into recovery from download mode.

I don't believe so. So far the research I did S6 Edge could use a app to root but that doesn't support Android 5.1.1 version. Until they support 5.1.1 we have to use this method.

i can confirm that the steps are the same for the s6 edge, the kernel and required files are different. Just search and you will find it. I know this because i previously had the s6 edge (international) on 5.1.1

I'm not sure mate, seems like it's not listed. Browse around the kernel thread to see if anyone has reported flashing a compatible kernel.
Ah alright. Thanks for sharing it.

samsung i747 help

Good afternoon . sorry for my english writing an interpreter because of Belarus.
The problem, in my i747 screen does not respond to touch, after the installation cm13, all done correctly and according to the instructions, and after flashing when the phone beeps, the same does not go in recovery in odin mode. And now I do not know him Thu wasps do.

Flash the stock rom using Odin. You have i747 or i747m? You can confirm the model in Odin mode.

@Tegra56
You may have to provide some more information about your device before we can start to identify the problem:
1. Have you checked the md5sum on the ROM you are using? (To make sure you did not get a bad download)
2. Is you device rooted?
3. What is your Bootloader/Modem Version #? [Settings-About Phone-Baseband Version: ( I747UCUFNJ2- this is the latest)]
4. Have you installed a custom recovery?(TWRP; CWM; Phil's Touch)
If you can provide this information I will try to assist with the problem.
edit: If you can't get into your settings follow @audit13 instructions in Post#2 and we will proceed from there.

1 Firmware has been checked md5
2 firmware has rights root
3 This I can not say. as the phone will not turn on, it was i747
4 Was installed TWRP

Did you install cm13 for the d2att? Sounds like the incorrect ROM may have been flashed to the phone.

Ok @Tegra56
I noticed in your reply to @audit13 that you cannot get into Odin. But does the phone get into stock recovery mode?
Did you make a backup (with TWRP) of the ROM you used before flashing cm13 ? fingers-crossed
If you did, try restoring this backup first.

unfortunately I did not make a copy

It may not help but have you tried using a USB jig to force the phone into download mode?

Ok, Here is where the fun begins!!... First we must know what your bootloader/modem # is right now. This is very Important.
Based on the information you have provided thus far, it seems to me that your firmware was out of date when you flashed the custom ROM. My suggestion to you, would be to do a clean install (Wipe) of this ROM: http://d-h.st/sV2 You can Read More about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390147 It's a Custom KitKat ROM, just so you can boot into something, the recommended gapps for this ROM have been discontinued, but you can try "Open Gapps" Choose the 4.4 -Nano Package: http://opengapps.org/
If you were running KitKat 4.4.2 chances are, you might be updated to at least I747UCUEMJB in which case they are 3 incremental firmware updates left for your device. However updating firmware should only be done using Odin so we must try the above alternative first and then work on getting Odin to work with your device. Good Luck.
edit: I just noticed you said the phone won't turn on!!....
If you have TWRP installed then you will have to hold down the "Volume up" , "Power" and "Home" buttons, release the power button(Keep holding the other two) once you feel the device vibrate, when you see the android logo you may release the other two, TWRP recovery should boot.
