Note 2 n7100 locked to stock rom? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
I have here a samsung note 2 gt-n7100 from Globe telecom (philippines) which has the following software details:
Android 4.3
Baseband n7100xxuena1
Got this OTA from the time it was released..
The problem is i have tried flashing recovery both cwm and twrp but it doesnt seem to get installed, i flashed 6 times already by odin. And whenever i boot my fone to recovery I still get the stock recovery from samsung. Do you have any idea whether the phone is locked and prohibited from any flashing?
I am trying to root and install custom rom but still no lock. I am really stuck.
I already have installed a custom rom to sghi747 and i9305 before so im not a newbie to most procedures.
Can anyone help / enlighten me?

SOLVED guys
1. downloaded and installed stock from for n7100 (singapore) via Odin
2. flash Philz Recovery
3. Flash Mr.Luong custom rom.

[Q] Help needed GT 9505 turned SGH M919 TMob

My phone is a i9505, rooted and with latest Philz recovery. I flashed [ ROM ][AROMA][4.4] KitKat KangBang v1.0.3 [Nov, 13 2013] from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524837.
Now i have this problem: i lost root, i can't reboot in recovery mode and my phone is now turned from the international version (9505) into TMobile US version SGH M919 so i can't downgrade or upgrade anymore.
Tried to reflash Philz by odin but nothing changed: everytime i try to enter recovery mode the phone keeps booting KitKat KangBang v1.0.3 (almost perfectly working).
What have i to do? Flash original firmware by Odin, then root and mod recovery?
Is so what kind of original firmware should be used? International 9505 or TMobile M919 one?
I'm scared to brick my device and i'd like to have it back to 9505.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

If you can access Download mode (Odin Mode) then you have no problems. If you're too scared to try out flashing back to original, let Kies do it for you. Install Kies and choose "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization". It will ask you for a specific Model number, You should write GT-I9505 and then it will ask you for the serial number, and then it would ask you to switch to download mode and it would download the latest stock rom for your device and flash it.

This is very simple if you want it to be. Flash using the instructions at the link then do a factory wipe from stock recovery, flash again to stock and do another factory wipe.
For the flash to stock, just head over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267895
Follow the instructions and that will re-flash T-Mobile stock everything.

Install latest philz cwm or twrp recovery, go into recovery and wipe data/factory reset or choose option to clean for new rom Install, after that flash custom rom.

KitKat 4.4 unmoded needed

Hello, I wanted to root and install TWRP then a KitKat ROM that's NOT altered or one that's been running and is a proven daily ROM. I haven't messed with Roms or phones for some time so I got all the info I need up to the ROM and I cant seem to find a stock rom. Any ideas?
Thanks!

This is the latest NE1 4.4 stock firmware (france) from sammobile uploaded to a different host by an user for faster download speeds,extract the zip file you'll find a .tar.md5 file flash it via ODIN.Then you can just install custom recovery via pc odin (use philz 6.26 ot 6.41 initially and once you get a custom recovery successfully installed you can switch to twrp) now once into philz recovery flash supersu 1.99 from this post flash it right after you flash your recovery ,your phone should be rooted.Few things that you need to do is uncheck auto reboot in odin when flashing the recovery,after flashing philz you should manually enter it by pressing the right combination of buttons ( volume up + home + power) and then flash the supersup 1.99 zip file right away. (place the supersu zip file in sd card right after you flash the 4.4 ROM and before you proceed to install custom recovery)
Philz touch
twrp
NE 1 Stock France
Unclear
singhpratik87, I'm a little unclear on the sequence your proposing me to go through to install a ROM. I thought you installed;
1) Superuser ...... Done!
2) ODIN Custom Recovery (TWRP) ...... Done!
3) NE1 4.4 ROM ..... Downloaded moved to phone but not installed...
Ok here are my concerns, I'm on a AT&T 1317 phone will this ROM work OR would a custom ROM be better? Next, what is Philz touch?
Thanks,
Soggy

See you didn't mention that you were on AT&T,unfortunately it wouldn't work you got to wait for your carrier to release the update. My explanations were pretty straight forward but now it doesn't matter anymore since you don't have the international note II GT N7100. The rom was supposed to be flashed via ODIN not SD CARD (it's a stock rom not a custom rom).And the steps are (for future reference) flash stock rom via odin, then flash philz via odin(uncheck auto reboot in odin),manually enter into recovery mode , flash supersu 1.99(or whichever is the latest) , reboot phone , DONE.
Philz touch is another popular recovery used by note II users .it's based on CWM with advanced features.
singhpratik87..... What custom ROM out there is equivalent to the 4.4 kitkat for a AT&T I317 Note 2 running 4.3? Those would prob be better anyway....
Also this other recovery you mention is it better? Like I said I have been out of messing with phones for a few years Thanks!

None in the International Note II forum that would be compatible with AT&T as far as 4.4.2 is concerned.There's no development for 4.4.2 in your a&t note II thread?
why don't you check out this thread which is specifically for your at&t branded note 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2-att/development

Stuck on boot after flashing most recent bootloader

today i rooted, flashed the most recent version of twrp on a stock n7100.
I did all this via Skipsoft unified android toolkit and intended to flash DItto note 4 on the n7100.
Ive done this before since i own another Note2 with Cyanogenmod X currently installed, coming from DN3.
on that phone i have current version of twrp and bootloader OD4.
I flashed the new OD4 bootloader on this newly rooted phone but i have been stuck at the samsung screen since then.
ODIN completed the flash successfully with no errors so i do not understand why i am experiencing this problem.
I have a TWRP backup though.
Can anyone help me sort this out.
THe device still boots into download mode but not into recovery.
Thanks

Note 2 gt n 7100 upgraded to nougat 7.1 lost root and cwm recovery

Hi
Recently I installed nougat 7.1 on my note 2 7100. Phone is working smoothly but I lost my root and cwm recovery . I tried to enabled root from developer option but failed. Any can help to get it back
Not sure but flashing Nougat with CWM may have caused the problem. I suggest using twrp to re-flash the ROM.
Thank you for you reply.
I have odin3 v3.10.7 which I used for galaxy ace 3. My question is the same Odin can I use it for my note 2 also.
If so where can I get a suitable version of Twrp for Odin.
Please answer.
OK I have solved my problem by re rooted the phone.
