Best to flash the official stock rom since you don't have much info on what was flashed on this note 2 before you bought it.
If you're interested in stock kitkat rom then get it from here Here extract the zip file you'll find the .tar.md5 file place it in the pda/ap option in odin ,put your phone into download mode ,connect it to odin ,make sure you've installed all the samsung drivers and such and then hit start and let odin do it's job should take around 25 mins or so.Good luck.

ok, thank you, i will try it and reply.

Most (not all) of the time, you can just pull the battery out while the phone is trying to load and stuck at the screen. Sometimes this fixes bootlop and non-booting issues. If it does not, then you'll want to follow the procedure above and flash another ROM accordingly.

This just isn't true, sorry.
Most of the time boot issues are rom/kernel/data issues. So wiping data, aflashing roms or flashing a kernels are the most common fixes.
Typically the first two.

i recently got bootloop because of an app delayed lock.
fixed by using aroma file manager to delete 2 files
/data/system/locksettings.db
/data/system/locksettings.db-shm

[Q] help un rooting sn2

So I was looking at this you tube video here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTcslgE0RK4 and everything seems relatively easy except I go to dl the firmware Here:http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ for my friends note 2 and I don't see a dl for USA or anything close to it. My question is which firmware do I dl? Thanks in advance!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968136
Just to clarify, I can use the aforementioned info in the link to un root the galaxy note II?
I "believe" that its the stock ROM untouched, no root no busy box no custom boot loader.
It will put your Note 2 back to the way it was when you first got it.
* If your uncertain then PM the OP of the post for confirmation.

I followed the instructions in the link you had and when i go into odin and click pda it goes to the folder i downloaded the stock tar(which by the way is a zip folder called samsung updates which i thought was weird) but i dont see a stock tar and on my pc it wont let me extract the zip file....

Inside the the zip file you downloaded should be a file that ends in .tar or .tar.md5 that is used in Odin.
If your not sure what you are doing you may want to brush up on the process first.

2. Connect your phone to your PC and reboot it to the download mode(Volume Down+Home+Power keys simultaneously).
3. Once ODIN shows your device connected(ID-COM bar lit up and log says 'Added')
4. Drop the unzipped downloaded Rom( N900TUVUBMI7_N900TTMBBMI7_N900TUVUBMI7_HOME_VEGA.tar.md5 file) in the AP slot, and click start.
5. It takes a while, once its completed, device will reboot and ODIN will show 'PASS' in green.

I wonder why this stock Odin flash firmware is only approximatly 1/2 the size
of the official stock Note 3 N900T MK2 firmware found on SamMobile.com?
If all that's been done to it is root, it should be about the same size.
Thanks!

You are right about bmi7 for tmobile, but I was wondering why designgear's odin flash
rooted is so much smaller than the SamMobile official stock firmware.
If designgear's is also supposed to be stock firmware it should be about the same size
as the official stock firmware at sammobile.
Size is different because its a zip file, if you unzip it will be same 1.84 gb file.

My buddy just got a T-Mobile Note 3 about 4 hours ago with MI7 firmware and want to know if I would root it for him (note: he didn't care if Knox was tripped or not, not something he will ever use), so I figured I'd try the instruction you've posted here to see if would trip Knox or not.
I can say that this DOES work, Knox still at 0x0
Time to de-bloat this sucker :-]
Thanks for this...

I was able to locate a copy of the file via Google and flashed it last night, then rooted. Got that done so then I used my Google backup to restore my phone. Is there any real harm in flashing back to the stock version then going back to rooted later, as long as I haven't done any system updates? I ask because Isis still complains about being rooted, and it was a PITA to get it working on my VZ Note 2. Since I can't nandroid back and forth between roms like on the Note 2, I have to use Odin and flash firmware. They have to make such a production out of it-I miss fastboot and flashing ROM's till all hours of the morning!

[Q] Need some helpful advice on updating

It's been a long bloody time since I fiddled around with stuff on this phone. So I'm still on a rooted 4.1.2.
My questions are is it worth the upgrade to KitKat? And if so, what's the easiest way for me to do so? Hopefully retaining root, but not too necessary.
Help would be appreciated. For dummies.
Hey there.
I've gone through the process myself recently. Here is what you should do :
1. Download a custom rom from the Android Development forum. For example I downloaded the DN3 v5.2, but whatever catches your eye is fine.
2. Just follow the instructions the rom' s topic states.
3. If you have trouble getting to the recovery mode, you should flash with Odin some custom recovery. I like the cwm recovery.
4. Most guides provide info how to root your phone but if not then there is a topic in the Android Development forum about it.
I suggest backing up everything you can before- copy the phone contents to your pc, run the efs professional program to backup your efs.
Cheers

Hi there. I'm using n7100. N7105 is not far different to n7100. I've recently upgraded my phone from 4.3 to 4.4. I can't see a big difference from the 2 version except 4.4 consumes more battery than 4.3. I think you should consider 4.3 first before going straight to 4.4.
Just to inform you. What I know is...4.3 and 4.4 Official Rom already have Knox. So maybe you should read about them first. And Flashing Custom Recovery like PhilzTouchRecovery may trigger your Knox and increase your Binary Counter. And you may loose your warranty.
Flashing and rooting stock ROM is easy. But you have to do it right. What I did:
1. Download Odin
2. Download Samsung USB Drivers
3 Download 4.4 Firmware for my phone at sammobile.com
4. Install Samsung USB Driver
5. Run Odin
6. Put phone in Download Mode. Check if Odin successfully detected my phone
7. Once success, load the firmware to PDA Tab/Button. Don't touch anything
8. Press start. Wait till done. Wait till your phone reboot on it's own.
9. Once rebooted, check "About Device".
10. Done!
11. Download PhilzTouchRecovery 6.26
12. Put device into Download Mode again.
13. Run Odin again
14. Connect device again
15. Load PhilzTouchRecovery.tar.md5 to PDA Tab/Button
16. Uncheck Auto Reboot from Odin
17. Click start. Once Pass! Disconnect device.
18. Hold Power Button, DON'T RELEASE till you boot into your new recovery.
19. Once booted to PhilzRecovery, select reboot system now, but make sure not to overwrite with stock recovery or else you're PhilzRecovery will be reverted back to your stock recovery and you have to flash again your PhilzRecovery.
20. Once successfully flashed PhilzRecovery. Make all necessary backups (Full backup) you can't make EFS/MODEM backup yet because your not yet Rooted. You just installed Custom Recovery.
21. Once fully backed up. Copy backup files to your PC.
22. If you want to root again. Use CF-ROOT on 4.4.2 or use Dr.Ketan's Multi-Tool-Advance-V6 in 4.3. And follow their instructions.
Good Luck. HTH.

Very concise steps, cheers for that. Might give all that a try. Just need a safe rom. Not sure what. Is there anything else that needs flashing, like modem files or anything?
Thanks for both your comments.
Only the rom is necessary. Shouldn't flash modem and kernel etc unless something doesn't work.
All the roms published in xda are fine and safe. I just went for the topic with the most views.
If you want you can also download stock 4.3 from www.sammobile.com
Just choose your device and you get a file flashable with odin. About 1.9 giga download.

Your current Bootloader doesn't have Knox. So you better search for a 4.3 or 4.4 rom that doesn't flash new bootloader. I think i saw it somewhere in the development.If I were not mistaken, it should be flashed thru custom recovery. Coz it's a zip file.
All I know is all rom files from sammobile.com includes new kernel, bootloader and modem. So if you flash this roms from sammobile, you will have a new kernel, bootloader and modem. It's all up to you. If I were you, I'll stay away from Knox. So find a rom that supports your current bootloader. Maybe a custom one.
Maybe this will help...

Yeah nice find... It should work fine... you're on the 3rd status "For those are on the 4.1.2 bootloader the rom could work normally with AGNi Kernel include in rom". I think you should go for DEODEXED for more customization and etc. Read here: http://codeversed.com/deodexed-vs-odexed-rom/.
Make sure to follow instruction precisely and strictly. And make sure to copy your Backup to your PC right after you created it. Coz if you do a Full Wipe, Reset and Clean Install, it will also delete the backup that you made. Read the instructions multiple times carefully to avoid mislead. Once you done it successfully, you will be on Custom Rom and Custom Kernel. Sounds very techie. Hahaha. Good Luck!

Thanks for the advice.
Really, I wanted to upgrade to Android L but then I saw it wasn't out yet so I was like...huh, KitKat time?
I'm not even sure if it'll be any better than what I have! Mostly just want something with better battery life. Even though I just bought a new battery that lets me use my phone for 3 days and a half hour. I have noticed that Screen/Android seem to be bleeding power a lot more these days, so figured it might be worth a wipe and an upgrade.
In any case, whenever I do, I have some handy guides now. Cheers~

the_dumbest_noob for actually pulling the .tar for kies to save our behinds!
yep i can verify i had to get this version cause the charging port on my phone died and according to the site it came from it should work across the board with Sprint, Boost, and Virgin Sph-L710T
I made a flashable zip that De-Odex the stock rom https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473400340 check it out if you want but read the description
Great news, thanks to all who made this happen!
I'm a novice at this, If I flash this .tar my phone will no longer be rooted, correct?

if you flash the stock tar that is provided it will erase your entire phone except for the external storage and then replace it all with whats inside of it including your recovery

I see, thanks! What then would be the benefit of flashing the deodex zip posted above? Will that allow me to uninstall bloatware? What's the purpose?

De-Odex helps for themeing and swapping out system apps that aren't from Google.....like if you want a updated Samsung app like the music player for instance

Copy that. Out of curiosity, it appears most people need this .tar because they lost their baseband / modems after installing a different rom. Wouldn't it be easier to just flash the L710T NF4 modem firmware? I downloaded it and was going to try it with a few roms that were messing with my baseband. Thoughts?

that file basically just puts the right files in on your SD card which then can be used in PhilZ via custom restore i believe....let me check into that
Will this work for SPH-L710T on Virgin Mobile?
Because this happened to my friend on her's: http://androidforums.com/threads/sph-710t-deleted-google-play-services.887991/
TLR=She deleted Google Play Services and her phone is all kinds of screwed up, factory reset didn't help the phone refresh the system file on its own, so either I need the stock .tar OR someone to upload me their Google Play Services system app (my Stratosphere II's usually works once but I think Google Play tries to update it and it fails and then all the problems start again)

So her phone wouldn't get screwed up with any kind of modem/network setting incompatibility because she's a Virgin Mobile subscriber and this was pulled from a Sprint L710T would it?

or the AP slot for Odin 3.09+
(you might want to add that to the OP)
THANK YOU, her phone is back to normal and it even kept her model intact!
And now I backed up her phone (Titanium and Nandroid) right this time (to SD not internal)
flash this kernel after you flash Conquest so rotation gets fixed https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5y5w6clj...T747-TW-KK-4.4-ATT-05-13-2014 kernel.zip?dl=0
You sir, have fixed my phone.
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! It actually worked! After 2 weeks of searching, this thing actually worked! I will definitely recommend this page to anyone who has the same problem.

Do you still have this TAR available? The mega.co.nz link says the file is not available. I am in this exact same predicament where I thought this phone was the same as the L710 and now... I can't get anything I try to work. Always stuck in a boot-loop and I've tried a couple ROMs. I also can't seem to find a Stock ROM anywhere!

I hate bumping an old thread, but in this case, I'm in the same predicament after flashing an OS and not having a way to update the PRL and such. The L710T TAR would be greatly appreciated.

Update Stoped On Galaxy Note II Screen

Hello, I used to be rooted with custom ROMs ect but went back to stock I317ATTALJ2 so I can give the phone to my daughter. Well everything went smooth until an update from AT&T came through and she ran it when the battery was at 21% but I'm not sure it that matter but didn't help in matters... Anyhow it ran the upgrade and on reboot it stayed on the Galaxy Note II screen and wont do anything but sit there. I let it sit for a long time before pulling the battery and booting but it goes to same screen and same thing. I can not get into recovery (Volume Up, Home, Pwr) but I can go into download mode. With the battery being so low I read that it charges while in download mode so for the remainder of the day I put the phone in download mode and plugged into charger.
Suggestions?
After you get it charged up some and you're in download mode. Just Odin back to stock Att firmware should fix the problem hopefully...
You can find the stock firmware here>> http://bit.ly/1HNVFVJ
Guess the phone didn't like that update ?.

Ok.
Hopefully everything works out next time around.
Another thing you could try is flashing which ever recovery you previously had installed. Last time I was having issues with something similar, after re flashing my recovery everything started working again. Just just a thought that might work.
I'm monitoring this thread too see what happens ok.

Recovery? can I flash the stock recovery using ODIN? If so where do I get it.... I always have used TWRP I wanted to use custom ROMs never really experimented with anything else.

Yes you can flash a custom recovery from Odin. You just have to use the (Twrp) tar file found here>>>
http://bit.ly/1y0Tyg7
Find your device model and download the tar. And make sure you're downloading the correct file for your device ok!
I to use Twrp and luv it.?
OK, well its not looking good....
1) Flashed the stock firmware suggested...... Still get same results!
2) Flashed TWRP through ODIN and it made it to the same screen and froze. Did a battery pull and button combo and it wont go into recovery.
Is there a application that will force your phone into recovery and download modes? I remember back when I messed with the captivate there was a application someone built that did such a thing.
Any suggestions?

Not sure you were on the newer 4.4.2 bootloader or not. If it was on a newer bootloader then you won't be able to downgrade.. This might help you get the phone working again since you just flashed the original firmware.

Unzip, Boot into Download mode, Open ODIN, put tar file in PDS slot, click Start.
Then you can go here for the latest stock Att firmware. If the above steps don't help you, then you could try flashing one one the rooted stock packages from this thread.

Ok not is back working again, which is great news ?. Go to the link I posted for the stock firmware, and use the rooted one.
But first make a backup of your working system first ok.
