[Q] help update rooted Note 2 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello I'm sure this has probably been answered but iv looked and cannot find. I was wondering how do update n7100 4.3 Rooted to Latest . Thankyou

Hello. What i did was i downloaded a rom from sam mobile. Or other site with the original roms for note II. You download it than you download odin and you flash it via pda. You click start. This will not remove everything from phone (you will have photos etc). You will lose root and the recovery i think. Thats what i did and it worked great (android 4.4.2 stock rooted) . Hope i helped you man its pretty simple but i used to ask the same question

Yeah you will loose root and custom recovery (if you have any).
Flash stock ROM via Odin and root again.
Restore your backup & enjoy

Trying to update to 4.4 kitkat (NOOB)

Hey fellas,
I want to update to the latest firmware (4.4 kitkat) on a rooted 4.1.2 GT-N7100 but i'm totally confused and i have no idea how to start...
I tried searching around and i keep seeing different methods to update if you're phone's rooted, like first thing is to reset the counter then select full unroot from SuperSU, then update to latest FW, or just install the latest FW right away without unrooting, etc.
What is the safest and correct way?
Also i'm not sure about the Custom ROM and Custom Recovery versions on my phone, how can i find out what they are?

Easiest way is:
If Rooted already - Download and Flash DN3 ROM and good to go
If not rooted check the android dev section on note 2 on how to root phone>install TWRP v7>and then install DN3 ROM
Thanks guys!
But does it matter if i'm on a custom rom or not?

[Q] Stock Recovery question.

I have the SM-T210 with no root and no custom ROMS or recoveries or stuff like that.. and my device recently got blessed with KitKat in Italy. Can this stock Italian KitKat rom be flashed in the stock recovery of my device?
Any help will be apprechiated.

Download Italian FW from sammobile.com, then flash it via Odin (search XDA for detailed guide). IMO this is the safest method. I think that difference between device and FW country variant can cause problems, but I can't verify my tougths - CWM installed In fact I'm not sure if it's possible at all to flash full ROM (not an OTA update) using stock recovery.
However if you really want to try (at your own risk) here's a guide for you, download FW as mentioned above and proceed from point No. 2.

[Q] bootloader question

Im on stock image 4.3 with root. I just installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 version for 4.3 . As I was looking at the rom's the majority of them want me to be on bootloader 4.2 or 4.4 before I can use the rom. What is the safest and easiest way to get there? the last time I modded a phone was with my HD2.
sorry for the noob question. I have been out of the loop for a while.
Thanks

If I goto sammobile to download N900TUVUENK3 and flash it with odin would that give me the boat loader I need? also would I need to upgrade twrp at that point? is there a document that covers this? any help would be appreciated.
Yes just be total stock 4.3 then flash the N900TUVUENK3 rom using odin and you will be able to flash any 4.2, 4.4, or 5.0 rom available. You just have to be 100% stock to do it including recovery. After you install the new rom then you can root it and install any custom recovery you want. Thats what I did. Revert to total stock, flashed the NK3 rom, rooted, then installed recovery. After that you will have a 4.2. bootloader and will be to install any rom out there. Hope this helps you out.

ROOT SM-P601 on Lollipop XXUDOJ5

The easiest way is to Odin TWRP, 2.8.7.0, then boot into twrp and flash this pre-rooted stock. Other method is way too complicated for you since, you need to create a patch kernel from the OJ5.

Dowgrading from 5.1.1 to 4.4.2 and then installing Note 4 Mini ROM for good

Hi Friends,
I recently flashed French 5.1.1 update on my N3N and rooted through Chainfire's method. File were taken from autoroot chainfire's website. I am facing an issue as listen below:
Once the device is rooted, I download Root checker which says device is rooted. I run some root apps and yes the apps work. However, when I factory reset through the option in settings, the phone kinda hard reset. It optimizes all apps when it does first login which usually doesn't happen when resets. Moreover, once the phone starts, to my surprise, the phone has lost root. None of the rooted files work and root checker says it's not rooted. And then I have to re-root. Why is this happening?
Now, I want to downgrade and install v10 Note 4 mini ROM. May I request the gurus here to guide me. I have installed this ROM on my other N3N and it's working fine, however that phone is on 4.4.2. Will downgrading my lollipop based phone to kitkat cause the phone to brick or something? And the basic procedure to downgrade includes:
1) Install TWRP recovery
2) Wipe cache data etc
3) install Note 4 Mini ROM OR I should first install official KitKat ROM and then wipe it all and install the custom (note 4 mini) ROM.
Would appreciate your help here.
Thanks.
First of all NEVER factory reset your Rooted Phone unless it is unrooted otherwise you will always face this type of problem.
Samsung device is Hard to brick so just flash your 4.4.2 kitkat desired country Firmware using odin and enjoy

Thanks shyboy for your reply. In one of the threads, I figure out CF autoroot was partially running. It did not give complete root access to the phone and hence the problem arise. I installed TWRP redovery and copied latest SuperSU in the sdcard. Then through TWRP, I flashed latest SuperSU and voila, I had my phone fully rooted.

BDW, what if I want to come to official Lollipop 5.1.1 over my Note 4 mini ROM. Should I just ODIN the official 5.1.1 firmware or do I need to first wipe it through TWRP and then flash the official ROM?
Sorry if I am bothering you. Just wanted to know.
make a backup of your internal sd card
1. boot in recovery mode
2. wipe all (data and system)
3. power off (pull out battery)
4. power on in download mode ( "Vol-" + "Home" + "Power button")
5. flash stock 4.4.2 via odin e perform the first boot.
6. boot in download mode, flash cf autoroot and reboot
7. flash the recovery you want (kitkat version)
8. enjoy

Suppose brother you are on 4.4.2 base firmware and you are flashing Note4 mini rom you can take backup using twrp recovery, and can flash S5 custom rom for N3N which has base firmware of 4.4.2 but if you want to flash new Version of RoM 5.1.1 you have to use odin then i think you cant use Note4mini rom because it is based on kitkat hope it helped
just press thanks button rather than a reply

You can downgrade to KitKat. There is a thread on the forum who talks about that.
Please help with the reference link.

I don't know whether you have done it or not. But if not, beware, there is a risk of losing imei while downgrading from 5.1.1 to lower versions. I would suggest making a EFS backup first. By doing that you can restore your IMEI in case you lose it.
Download EFS backup apps from google play store.
