Hi guys,
i'll sell my 7105 in few days so i'd like to set back official rom!
my only doubt is right now i'm using custom rom on 4.4.2 can i just wipe all go in DOWNLOAD mode and install 4.3 official rom?
about keeping the root ?
thanks
Yes, Odin is the way to go. You don't necessarily have to wipe anything, but I would do so to make sure it is factory reset and to prevent you from boot loop.
Flashing stock will unroot the phone, but it won't reset the flash counter! Consider to do that as well as you are going to sell it.
thanks Yakobus for your reply.. actually i did act before reading ur msg
well i was just scared to destroy note 2 just few days before leaving me ahah!
FYI , for those like me willing to know, this is what i did...
I've got latest rom from sammobile..
I used trianlge away and then i went in recovery over my phone!
once in recovery i wiped ALL.. and i mean all with TWRP recovery!
from there i rebooted phone in DOWNLOAD mode and i used ODIN pc (u can find step by step by Dr Ketan or other post)
flashed 4.3 to my phone, when rebooted everything was working ( yes also wifi )
COUNTER went back to ZERO ... Knox is installed (apparently) but honestly i couldn't care less..
everything good if anyone has some doubts.. ask
:highfive:
You are welcome. Good to see everything went fine and thank you for the summary!
Edit:
What I did not have in mind: Your Knox counter is probably set to 0x1 as you were using a custom ROM. You cannot reset it so far and I do not know what that means for our warranty as it depends on your country's laws and your provider/seller.
with some more details pls , i'm a noob , had note II 4.3 JB , upgraded to 4.4.2 official kit kat and want to downgrade , i didn't root it , i didn't do anything at all and i dont want to lose the phone i just bought a week ago , can u help me?

Hi,
On my Note 2 7100 , I have given my phone to service centre guys to upgrade to 4.3 from 4.1.2.
After they attempted to upgrade the phone is not booting
The system status says Custom and they say it because you have rooted your phone and we cant help.
But before I gave my phone to them I have checked the phone there was no super user also every screen was looking official.
So I am not really sure if my phone was ever rooted or they screwed up my phone.
According to them if i install the old firmware my phone should boot.
But since I have no idea how it was rooted i am not able to do any thing.
Please help ... Urgent

Flash a custom ROM using ODIN Guide here. dun use the odin in the description. It's outdated. use this instead. Flash a custom ROM (or official) (official 4.3 has kies though) If u wan 4.3 without bloatware, try this.
Hope I helped!
which rom should i use
Hi,
I have tried to flash it with stock rom but its not booting.
Which rom should I use to flash the device now ?
Keep pressing buttons continuously for download mode
Then the upgrade failed message will go and then it will enter into download mode. after this you can try again.

Do a mega wipe (if u dun mind). The service guys may have put in a wrong modem so, flash a modem for ur phone. Download ur modem here. This fixed my phone 5 minutes ago when i accidentally flashed a N7100 ROM (Ditto Note 3) on my N7105.

hope this help:fingers-crossed:
firstly i apologise for my basic knowledge of this sort of thing, help would be greatly appreciated.
my unlocked at&t galaxy i747 recently was repaired via jtag after an over the air update bricked it.
i got it back and after an hour my sim wouldnt connect to the network anymore and i noticed the camera didnt work.
the guy who fixed it told me to wipe the devlik cache and factory reset which i did but i still had the camera and network issue.
i was hoping to flash back to stock rom so i cleared the current rom with the philz recovery and tried to install a stock on odin but it failed.
my main issue is that is if i have to send it back id like to with a rom on it. so if someone could provide me with a rom that will work id be most thankful. if i recall he installed a custom rom that said it was on the 4.1.1.1 version of android. the baseband wasnt ucdlk3 like my stock roms on the pc i tried to flash were. it had numbers like ...m j b ?
after i do that im hoping the guy will tell me how i can fix the camera and network issues. id rather have all stock rom and such but i dont want to interfere with that hes done.:crying:
i have a 16gb storage card so i can install the rom via zip if necessary. thanks for reading this, alex.
also i dont know if this is important but then i click turn off in recovery it says root missing.do you want to root? i just always click no.
Well if your on mjb then you can't flash to 4.1.1 or anything below 4.3 as the efuse has been triped and won't allow any other boot loader to run resulting in a brick.....so if you can flash 4.3 firmware to your phone and see if you can get it to boot.....if you can't then you may need to unbrick it with either the sdcard method or a JTAG again

Hey guys long time lurker here who needs some help,
First off, this is what I have on my phone:
Baseband: I747UCUEMJB
ROM: QuantumRom/QuantumKernel (Latest)
Philz Touch Recovery (slightly old)
Main Question: I want to completely wipe my phone (pretty much nuke it) and reset it all the way to where I still have a rooted phone and can put on a custom ROM. How do I go about doing this?
I want to do this because I may sell my phone later on down the road (approx. 2-3 months) and I want to clean out all the stuff I have, but I still want a phone that is rooted and able to sustain custom ROMs. I know this may seem like a noob question, but I want to make sure I do the process right and not lose my phone.
I'm not 100% sure but wiping data, cache, and Dalvik would pretty much wipe everything on your phone.
Alternatively, you could use Odin to flash a ROM.
The thing is, I wanna go back to pretty much stock with root. Like wipe the whole phone clean.
To go back to stock from MJB, you'll need to flash a stock ROM that has been compiled for flashing in Odin. Don't use any of the ROMs from sammobile.com.

Wouldn't it brick my phone?
Wouldn't this brick my device though? I have the MJ2 Bootloader and I never updated OTA to 4.4 Samsung Stock. Reading through those posts gave me the feeling that the method stated would brick my device.
EDIT: Well I just hard-bricked.

Which bootloader did you have? The first post said MJB, the second said MJ2.
With the MJ2, I believe you could have flashed back to stock 4.1.1 and just run OTA updates until you hit 4.4.2.
MJ2 is the leaked bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233
Hello,
I'm a noob but usually try to fix this kind of issues on my own, looking at the boards, following tutorials, learning, but this time I think I'm not able to find a solution on my own so I'm asking for advice here.
Some time ago I installed cyanogenmod 10.1 on my Note 2 LTE and was happy with it for some month, than last week I tried to upgrade to cm12.1 It worked but there where some issues and bugs, mainly I wasn't able to swap internal/external sd cards.
So I decided to go back to latest available stock rom 4.4.2 from sammobile.
Here is where the problem starts. The stock 4.4.2 resulter in a bootloop, tried cache/dalvik/factory reset, flash again, whipe again.. nothing.
The phone is not able to get past the white label "Samsung Note 2 gt-n7105" screen. It goes black than the white label again and again.
It doesn't even get to the Samsung animated logo.
Ok bottloop, no problem, try to flash again something else.
I tried different Custom roms, different kernels, different flashing methods. I can flash anything with no problem but every time a get a bootloop.
During the various attempts knox fired, but I don't care. I don't know if this could be the cause.
Actually the only firmware that works is the original oldest STOCK 4.1.2, every other stock firmware past that or any custom rom is bootlooping the same way. To fix I only can reinstall stock 4.1.2 with odin.
I really need any advice or hint.
At the moment my goal is to get at least to stock 4.3 but I cant.........
Thanks!
When you first bought your phone, did it come with Knox?

nope it doesn't existed before, but now I can see it when I boot in download mode "knox warranty void:1"
Try to get the latest firmware available via kies ,that worked for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088809/[URL]
From what you've described, I think the Stock ROM 4.4.2 from Sammobile contained a bootloader update. So when you flashed this ROM, it updated your bootloader from the non-Knox version to the Knox version.
I am very unfamiliar with the technical details of Knox, but I think the new Knox bootloader is causing your bootloop problem.
However, I don't know why 4.1.2 works when everything else doesn't work!
Can you check the Stock ROM 4.4.2, and see whether it really contains a bootloader update?

Since a boot.img is present, it means that it would flash your boot partition. So now we know for sure that when you attempted to flash the Stock ROM 4.4.2, your bootloader was changed to the Knox version.
So the lesson here is: before you flash anything via ODIN, always check to see if there is a bootloader update. Usually you don't want to be changing the bootloader on your phone.
***
So now there are 2 possible ways to reach your goal:
1) Keep your new bootloader and see whether you can get Stock 4.3 or Stock 4.4.2 running on your phone
2) Try to restore your old bootloader
As I said earlier, I'm not familiar with the technical details of Knox, so I'm not sure how to get Stock 4.3 or Stock 4.4.2 running on your phone when your Knox indicator is already 0x1. You need someone else to help you.
And you can only restore your old bootloader if you happen to have made a copy of your boot partition before you flashed the Stock ROM 4.4.2. Even if you did have a copy of your original boot partition, I'm not confident with helping you to restore your old bootloader. You need someone else to help you in this case too.
Conclusion: I don't think I can help you to solve your problem I'm sorry. Hopefully someone else who is more of a pro than me will come along to help you out.
Good luck!
First of all thanks for passing by my thread , my case is a really strange one , i have an galaxy s6 edge t mobile with DOJC wich is the lastest build , i unlocked thru a direct cable software method provided by unlockbase , as always i rooted the phone , i used unikervel ver 8.0.0.2 and did the unlock , problem is that the fingerprint stopped working forever eversince , and no matter what i do it just displays the same error " an error ocurred with the fingerprint sensor " now i tried everything in my knowledge and google researching , tried the erasing cache method , flash stock bootloader and system plenty of time , downgraded a tons of times even installed a custom rom to see if there was any change , it was working before so im wondering what could happen , ive done this with multiple s6 edge with older builds and never has happened to me , today i downgraded againg do DOl1 and something more weird happened , the imei is there as always but the numbers after the slash are gone says /null now this hasnt affected anything but i dont know why it happened , the second werdiest thing its that the sensor version , in the secret menu for testing everything gives me a null version , does anybody know what can i do to get my fingerprint working againg ?? every lil comment would help thanx a lot
Sorry to hijack his thread. But I see you got root on the tmobile dojc firmware.
I got the edge today and have been going through post trying to figure out what needs to be done.
I know that two needs to be flashed through Odin. Not sure on the version tho.
And that a kernel needs to be flashed then the SU.zip
My question is what kernel. No one specifically says which one to use for the DOJC firmware and the BL option in Odin is where the kernel would go correct?
So
Odin -install tarp
Odin- kernel
And then flash the su zip in twrp
Am I missing anything ?
And hope somebody chimes in to help with your issue at hand ! Good luck
There no need my friend , just flash unikernel Ver 8.0002 thru odin adn the phone will be instantly root

Installing stock kernel should make your fingerprint scanner work. Once you change the kernel, poof no scanner.

Thanx for the reply my friend i did that alredy still does not work i think it just broke the moment i rooted coincidentially

I recall reading somewhere that not tripping knox when rooting had something to do with scanner not working.
Did you "not" trip Knox?

Have had this happen with some of my customers. Flashing stock firmware solved the issue.
Can download stock OJC here

I recommend Odin 3.10.6
ODIN 3.10.6
