So the other day i bought the note 2 form someone. I did not realize it had a custom rom on it until i got the 4.3 update and could not proceed with the download because for interruptions. When I found out it wasnt the orginal one from ATT I was thinking I know there was something that could be done.
Most likely the person was trying to unlock the phone and downgraded with a custom rom and tried to update OTA.
How could i uninstall the custom rom and go back with the factory firmware.
My phone is in odin mode with custom and knox cout is 1.
Would I have to root my phone to do it or could i go into the setting using the down vol, home and power btn and wipe clean or would that mess everything up.
Also my phone have bad signal problems when in certain houses lol .
HELPPPPPPP
this is what my phone say.

hi everyone,
i got my note n7100 on meteor in ireland. everything was great so i decided to root it like i did with my previous phone. i rooted and everything was grand. then i decided to install a custom rom (omega rom), installed grand. i used it for a while and then decided id like to go back to stock firmware and maybe root again. so i used triangle away to reset flash counter, done. then i used odin to try flash my stock rom but i got a message saying "incorrect parameters" if i recall correctly. so i thought it was the stock rom and tried another one i thought was correct and it flashed but hasnt seemed to work, i then flashed CWM and then wiped the cache and factory reset and such but it hasnt changed anything. i dont have a restore file unfortunately. so that is why i am trying to flash back to stock. the phone now will boot normal with a few jitters and frame rate. then if i try to use the keyboard to type it come up black and no letters so i am unable to type anything or text. but i can call. then when i leave it down for a while it just turns itself off and i have to turn it on again. im at a loss of what to do next. if i can get it back to normal i would love it and i wont be doin anymore rooting and such again ha. any help would be fantastic. thanks in advance.
very sad person a.t.m. :crying:
try doing stock recovery and clearing cache then reboot. if it still doesn't work, wipe data and do factory reset. should bring your N2 back to stock.
do all of these after backup, of course. good luck!
can you advise me on how to do a stock recovery please cheers.
Try to do a factory reset.

power down NOte 2, then boot up by just holding down power, home and volume up.. android robot should appear.
it should give you options and choose using volume keys and select using power.
try the 2 options mentioned above and it should solve your problem. :angel:

What stock rom are you using or where did you get it?
I got it from Sammobile.com it's the proper stock rom and as far as I can tel the phone has returned to stock but my csc is unknown and the overall phone is not working 100% when I try to use Odin wit the correct stock rom from Sammobile Odin says parameters are incorrect so I ended up just wiping the phone and cache and that's as much as in able to do so far. Used Odin v3.04 and v3.07 . In android recovery <3e> I have the android lying down with a red triangle out of his stomach, and #manual mode# applying multiple-csc... Applied the csc code : BTU Successfully applies mutli csc. Has this anything to do with why is not working properly?
Ok I flashed the revolution hd rom and its fixed the phone as far as I can tell. Only one problem persists is that when the screen goes off it takes two taps of the power button to come on, but at least the phone is usable. cheers for help so far and also with this problem.

I rooted my phone with GALAXY NOTE 2 Toolkit. It was working fine for few months. Recently I noticed a problem when I tried to reboot it, but I pulled the battery out and after reinserting all went OK. then Next day or two another time when I tried to reboot, I got to the point where I cannot boo the phone anymore. I get to the initial T-MOBILE screen and that's where it gets stuck.
I tried to upload a recent ROM through Odin. It worked fine, no errors, no problems, but when I try to boo the same thing happens.
I also tried to get to the other menu ( Power+Home+VolumeUp). It shows the menu with some options but I'm not sure how can I use those. I treid few things but it does not work.
I need to use the phone for work every day so I am completely stuck and this is critical for me.
I would appreciate any help.

SAME HERE!!!

While Knox is a problem, the bootloader is the booger that won't allow return to 4.1.2. Sammy hosed us on that little bit of trickery.
If my wife didn't have a GS3 that I maintain I might have OTA'd. I have been watching their "upgrade" process for a while and knew that there was trouble in the OTA.
It will be painful for a while as people migrate in with problems that have been covered several times. We'll get through it.

Hi,
I had my galaxy note 2 with stock android 4.3 firmware. Phone is unrooted. And I decided to downgrade to 4.1.1. Took stock firmware for my region, took odin, entered download mode and flashed my phone with this firmware. Odin completed without any problems, phone rebooted and stuck on splash screen. I entered recovery mode then, wiped data and cache partition and phone booted without any problems. But here goes my major problem - my phone can not register onto my mobile network. When I search for the networks - phone can see them but when I select network phone simply refuses to register onto this network Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Its a problem with the radio incompatibility . Did you download the firmware for the correct region ?
Just to test try flashing any of the custom firmware in 4.1 framework . See if the network registers . If it does then ur flashing a wrong version of stock .

Hi, it seems that I was able to find solution. As I've been on 4.3 official rom it seems that EFS partitions were modified and when I flashed stock 4.1.1 it seems that the modem can't access info on this partition. So I flashed modem from official 4.1.2 firmware and everything started to work. This thing was mentioned somewhere on this forum.
But here comes my another problem When I flashed to 4.1.1 I saw knox warranty void 0x1 But it was too late when I saw what this does mean But the problem is that download mode says that my phone is in custom state and that I loaded custom firmware 1 time. Well... I've tried to root the phone, installed triangle away and tried to reset flash counter. When I entered download mode I saw that flash counter was set to 0 and that the phone is in official state. But when I rebooted phone till Android OS and went to download mode after that I saw that flash counter was set to 1 again but the phone is in official state. Why is that? I have stock recovery and stock rom. As I've read there must be no such thing. Could it be because my bootloader is from 4.3 version? And one more thing - I was not able to enter recovery mode when I rooted the phone Phone stays at the flash screen forever Is it expected thing with stock recovery?
And one more question. Lets imagine that I have 4.1.1 official rom, I'm rooted and want to flash 4.1.2 official rom with odin. Do I need to unroot my phone at first or can I skip this step? Thanks.
If you are on 4.3 then Triangle away will not work due to knox . Its recommend you unroot the phone before flashing a new rom using Odin.
So, I have a rooted device running Cyanogenmod 11 via TWRP. I have only had the device for about 2 weeks, but have noticed the speaker makes a weird noise with the volume all the way down. I am trying to return it to the store, as I have about a day left before I will not be able to return it. My issue is I CANNOT get the device back on the stock recovery. I have tried to download many files, but none of them have worked for me. Is there any other way I can reset the device back to a stock recovery so that the store will take the tablet back??
I believe you need to fash a factory firmware file through ODIN to return to stock. Though if you have already flashed TWRP and a custom rom, you will have tripped the Knox counter
