[Q] Help Flashing Note 2 N7100 through Odin3

Hi everyone. I'm having some troubles with a galaxy note 2. I have one but is with the firmware of China with the JB 4.3.
I've being trying to flash with the firmware of europe, JB 4.1 with odin3 but i can't. It always give an error on sboot.bin.
I've downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile.com.
Tried in different computers and differents USB cables.
Also tried to install two differents USB drivers from differents sources.
Weird thing, i cant root my device by flashing by odin.
Can anyone give me an help?
This is my device:
Android Version 4.3

I believe that if it is official 4.3 you cannot downgrade.

Is it a clone?

If it is a clone is very well disguised, and it have the same SoC (CPU, RAM, Internal Memory, etc)
And it is impossoble to downgrade from 4.3?

You can downgrade from 4.3 but you cannot downgrade the bootloader, that will be stuck

Ah the official stock images will have a bootloader bundled in it. So that maybe where its going wrong. If you install a custom recovery and put a custom rom (arhd19 or wanamlite3.9 are both android 412) that might be the easiest but I would only guess that yhey would work with the mk3 bootloader but it would probably burn the efuse voiding warranty.

Can the mk3 bootloader be downgraded? I wss under the impression that once upgraded to a mk bootloader you were stuck with it as theyre not downgradable

Ok Bro. All you need is to install a Firmware supported by your phone.
I had an N7100 with exact downgrade problem and was fixed by checking different Firmwares. you can install another if you like, european firmware maybe not compatible with your phone. DOWNLOAD Firmware which has size more than 1000 MBs.
Head Over to this Link and Download the Firmware with starting words "MSR",
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2571281
It will surely work.
I have tried all of these 4.1s but the MSR-N7100XXDMC3-201304291545.zip worked.
a "THANKS" will make my Day

That MSR version's size is greater than a 1000MBs which means that it has all the required files, which are needed to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.2.
So definitely check it out and share the result with us:highfive:

Not sure but it worked for me. I had the N7100 made in korea version which is an international version. I upgraded to 4.3 chinese version. Then I wanted to downgrade to 4.1.2, I tried the chinese 4.1.2 version and two others. Which encountered some errors in flashing. Then I tried the MSR version which worked just fine.
Everytime I was flashing the 4.1.2 versions other than the MSR it incremented the binary counter by 2.

Hi everyone. Finally i could flash the note 2 :victory: but i still dont get it why i cant flash through odin
This is how i do it.
1. Flash the ClockworkMod Recovery through.
2. Flash the TWRP 2.6 Recovery.zip through CWM Recovery. (Don't know i i cant flash this recovery directly on odin
3. Flash a CyanogenMod Nightly ROM
4. Install Odin Mobile.
5. Flash the lastest official rom by Samsung for Europe.
6.Yeh I have a official rom on my mobile :victory:
Now I have one problem, when i try to make a call i cant hear the people on the other side and vice versa. I know the mic and speaker are working, if o try to make a call through skype it works perfectly!
Obs.On every ROM i have this problem, on Stock ROMs by Samsung, Europe and Chinese Version and also on CyanogenMod.
When i try to flash the European ROM on Odin it fails when try to write the modem.bin.
I can flash the Chinese ROM without any problems on Odin.
I'm using the lastest ROM JB 4.3 from Samsung
What is the problem now?

The MSR firmware zip link no longer exists?
I have Chines SN N7100 and screwed with no Google accout

SGH-I747 flashed to 4.3 bootloader/modem cannot go back to stock?

I had encryption on my phone due to company emails. I flashed bootloader and modem to 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB) in order to enjoy the latest custom ROMs.
However, after installing 5-6 of custom ROMs, I am always asked to "enter your PIN or password to encrypt the memory". No matter what I enter, the phone always restarts and goes back to the prompt asking me to enter PIN or password.
I did factory reset and cache/etc. wipes every time I flash. I thought encryption should be erased by those resets/wipes. BTW - I use TWRP as recovery.
What I would like to know, is there a way for me to get a stock 4.3 ROM to install using ODIN? Hopefully that will also install the stock recovery, which may be able to help me really do a clean factory reset/data wipe.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

You can find pre rooted stock rom from herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
hope that helps

BTW, I have tried using ODIN to get back to 4.1.2: I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar file.
However, ODIN is giving "Fail (Auth)" errors. I suppose this is because I have flashed the bootloader and modem to a much higher version and there is no way to go back?

Nope. these I747ATTDLK3 images won't work because once you flash these new 4.3 bootloader (I747UCUEMJB), you cannot go back to early stock ROMs. The only way is to find the 4.3 stock ROMs for ODIN, which is no where to find on the internet.
Here is the error from ODIN when I tried the I747ATTDLK3 image:

I have run KK ROMs with a stock 4.1.2 bootloader with no problems at all. Updating to 4.3 isn't necessary in my opinion.
AT&T never released a stock 4.3 ROM that can be flashed via Odin. AT&T released 4.3 as an OTA update.
At this point, you may be better off flashing a custom recovery such as Philz Touch and flash a KK ROM.

Wow. CWM recovery (Philz Touch) + CyanogenMod 10 Nightly Builds for SGH-I747 solved my problem! I can finally use my phone now!

That's great. Why stop at CM10? Try some 4.4.2-based ROMs like Cyanfox or Valiudus. Both are great and I love the dark theme for Validus.

Nope. Sorry. Once on 4.3 you cannot downgrade your firmware without hard bricking your device. Using a valid code is the only way now.
You might find one for fairly cheap on ebay.

i can try do any playing with knox??? sorry for my insistence, the problem is so right now i can not pay any unlock code. can you please recommended any site or way in case i can pay de unlock code???

Best I can say is to search ebay for sim unlock galaxy s3. I dont know of any specific sites. I think a few may have been mentioned in the unlock thread, but you'll probably just have to do a lot of reading to find them. Look for posts with links in them.

what if the phone is on a rooted version of stock 4.3?

If you updated to 4.3 via OTA/Odin/Kies it doesn't matter.. If all you did was flash a 4.3 ROM while still on 4.1.2 or below bootloader its still possible to unlock unless you have a T999L then you are out of luck

And root doesn't matter for this. Should work either way.

I assumed they meant downgrading to unlock but I guess not necessarily.. But yes unlocking by code isn't affected by being rooted

Updating to NF4

I'm running stock bootloader from launch when I got the phone in 2013. Currently running 4.4.2 updated via Mexican firmware leak back in early spring. I need to update to NF4 bootloader. I keep getting error in Odin when I try to flash NF4. Do I need to be on NF1 before I can flash NF4?

You don't need to be on NF1 or any other baseband version in order to update
to the NF4 baseband.
Here is the direct download link for ODIN in case you need it, this version works
best for me: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/Odin85.zip
Be sure you have the latest Samsung USB driver installed which can be found here:
http://tinyurl.com/nlnegmj and be sure to use the original samsung usb cable which
came with your phone for best results.
Good luck!

It's failing because the bootloader is not authenticating. Since you flashed my custom rom odin package I'm surprised it's not letting you flash the official OB7 rom tar. Apparently there's more to this equation than just the bootloader or else you tried or successfully flashed the pre-rooted kernel before you tried to odin the OB7 rom tar. Try flashing my custom OB7/OG5 rom tar again THEN flash the official OB7 rom tar. You need to be bone stock before attempting the odin of OB7. If it still fails then give up because you can't win this battle. Just update to OG5 and don't worry about it.
I'll be honest, there's really no reason why you shouldn't just go ahead and wipe everything clean and flash my custom OB7/OG5 rom tar again or the official OG5 rom tar and let your bootloader update to OG5. I think 5.1.1 is by far the best version of Android to date. I see absolutely no reason to flash older software versions because 5.1.1 is much more responsive in every way and battery life is improved as well. Don't sweat this. If I had any trouble with my OB7 bootloader I'd update mine to OG5 in a second.

After blowing nearly an entire day....
To start off my phone was stock / rooted, I then installed the latest update via Kies (OE1, wanted the Stagefreight patch) and attempted to re-root my phone which I then found was stuck in a boot loop. I got lazy, updates had been going well on the Note 4 and I failed to come to XDA to see if there were any problems rooting it, turns out there is :crying: and I couldn't get Kies to recover it, and factory reset didn't work either. To recover I tried to use ODIN to flash OB7 and received the above results, I tried a few other stock ROMs and got the same problem.
At this point I was about ready to chuck my phone out the door until I noticed a comment saying that once you flash OE1 you can't go back and the only option is to flash an AOSP ROM such as Notirized. I downloaded Notorized, following the OP directions step by step and I now have my phone back! So far I like this ROM, so maybe this was fate

Thanks XDA! Now if I only had come here first and saved myself an entire day of grief! (Took away from my time playing Elite Dangerous! lol).

Thanks man. I appreciate the response and the explanation. I thought it was an issue with the bootloader, but I was confused about what I had done. I did wind up wiping everything clean and flashing your custom OB7/OG5 rom tar. Thanks for putting that together. I definitely should have updated everything sooner. I appreciate the advice on the OG5 bootloader as well. Have a great weekend.
