[Q] Question about Recovery - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on stock 4.3 rom & recovery + rooted. I want to flash ND3 kitkat rom over Mobile Odin.(to avoid flashing kitkat bootloader)
So ,my question is - Is it necessary to flash custom recovery(like philz) before flashing Stock rom from mobile odin?
Or it is not necessary?
Any Suggestions....

If your on stock 4.3 then flashing a custom recovery will trip knox as you will have a bootloader mk4 or newer (I would guess mk9) so if your attempting to keep knox at 0 then you would have to flash a Stock rom with odin, why don't you want the kk bootloader?

My knox bit is already voided 0×1
My bootloader is ML4.
& I heard somewhere wifi/battery performance degrade due to kitkat bootloader.
If I'm satisfied with 4.3 bootloader then why should go for kitkat bootloader.(offline charging is not deal breaker though ).
Btw,Anyone knows there, is it necessary to flash custom recovery before flashing Stock rom via Mobile Odin?

How about you install a custom recovery and flash dr ketan's pre rooted dedoxed deknoxed ND3 rom ,it's same as stock without bootloader and no mods.As far as flashing any stock rom one doesn't need to have custom recovery that's the whole point of stock rom you can flash it whenever you like irrespective of being rooted or not and can be done via pc odin or mobile odin.(mobile odin doesn't flash the bootloader).You only need custom recovery when you're flashing any ROM as a zip file. (as the case would be in dr ketan's rom or any other custom rom)

[Q] Exynos abuse rooted- Flash custom rom, mobile odin, triangle away, oficial stat

Can we Flash any custom roms easily using mobile or pc odin on rooted Note 2 N7100 (rooted with exynos abuse apk) and also have feature rich root to use things like nandroid backuo and restore keeping in mind rooting with exynose abuse app we don't have CWM. And if we have to send for warranty just flash stock rom and its all official and we don't even have to run triangle away etc as flashing stock ROM will take care of everything. ?

Odin is used to flash stock
And yes you need to use triangle away for repair
Flash a custom recovery to flash custom roms

I thought pc odin is used to flash stock firmware. but we can use mobile odin to flash custom roms.
When you say custom recovery do you mean custom rom..?

Cwm is custom recovery.
Custom rom is software made by people for our phone here at xda.
Use mobile odin to flash custom roms.
Use toolkit to make nandroids.

So that means we cant install custom roms without cwm.? As I rooted my phone with exynosabuse app I dont have cwm. I was under the impression I can still flash custom roms like omega rom etc using mobile odin.?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's what I said you can flash via mobile odin.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
So I can flash m omega rom for note 2 just with Phone rooted with exynosabuse app even though I don't have cwm. . And if I need to send for warranty just unroot from exynos abuse app and flash stock rom and run triangle away app if counter raises.?

Question about rooting and flashing

Hi Folk,
I have a N7105 and I'm quite familiar with rooting and flashing roms...
atm I'm on 4.1.2 stock rom, due to a repair case, I'm still on stock because I wanted to see what Samsung
has to offer in the new 4.3. But there is no Air command etc, and I read a lot about problems with Knox and the new boot loader..
Now I want to flash a custom rom (most likely 4.1) and there is my question:
Do I have to root the stock first or is it enough to just flash a custom recovery trough Odin and flash the custom rom ??
I can't see any sense in rooting the rom before flashing, it gets eliminated anyway... but I am no expert...
Cheers
there's no need to root your rom, just flash recovery with odin and then flash any rom with the recovery

Yes, flash the MJ5 bootloader to avoid any problems. And make sure that you have the latest CWM version. I personally recommend TWRP, latest version also. You should be set with that.

hey just repaired my note 2's bootloader it took me forever and lots of work so im afraid to brick it again is there a safe official way to update to android 4.3 im currently running a rooted 4.1.2 stock N7100XXDMB5

S4 4,2 to 4,4

Does flashing a rom from 4.2 to 4. 4 means I cannot go back to unroot without tripping knox? Can I go back to 4.2 custom rom with out problems?

No. You can flash 4.4 roms from recovery like any other ROM.
You only get Knox if you flash the official 4.3 stock firmware with the bootloader and radio and all that business.

[Q] can i flash older firmware using Odin?

Hey guys so i have heard that if i install the old firmware for my s4 from sammobile using Odin one from early 2013 that it will give me access to service menu so that i can unlock my phone. So my question is that is it 100% safe to Odin flash the older 4.2.2 rom when i am on 4.3? Can i flash it unlock my phone then upgrade my phone to a custom rom again? Thank you i also am running a custom rom and have philz recovery installed.

If you are on 4.2.2 bootloader then yes, if on 4.3 bootloader then no, but you can try downgrading modems instead.. Also is the ROM you are on aosp/cm or tw based?

If you update to 4.3 by one of the following methods you're out of luck:
-OTA update
-Kies update
-Odin flash the full 4.3 firmware.
Like mentioned above, if you only flashed a 4.3 ROM but keep your MDL(4.2.2) bootloader you can go back.
Faaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkk i did Odin flash the full 4.3 Damnit stupid Samsung why the hell would they block downgrading? Okay so if i did try to Odin flash the older firmware what would happen? I doubt it'll hard brick my phone right i could prob try it if it doesn't work then I'll just Odin flash 4.3
