I just successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 using Odin and CWM Recovery.
This is exactly what I did:
- D/L Odin 3.04 and "cwm6-root-note2.tar" and saved them to my Desktop
- Extracted Odin and started the program
- Set my Note 2 to USB Debugging
- Restarted the Note 2 in "Downloading Mode" by holding down Volume Down, Home & Power buttons simultaneously
- Connected usb cord to my phone and computer
- Confirmed that Odin registered connection of my phone correctly on COM port
- Went to PDA, then selected "cwm6-root-note2.tar"
- Then I selected start, or root or whatever starts the process. And voila! Rooted with CWM & SuperUser App.
However, I might be returning the phone so I now need to know how to reverse that process and UNROOT my phone. Can someone please help walk me through that process? Do I need to obtain more files that were overwritten or deleted when I rooted?
Also, I thought, perhaps, I could unroot using the SuperUser app so I chose the option that said something like "Unroot.... etc." All it did, however, was get rid of Super User because when I restart my phone in recovery mode, it still boots CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.4
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

You rooted Note 2 and not Note 2 LTE right? Keen to find out the solution for LTE version.

Thank you for your assistance. Which link do I download though? Are they all the same? Or do I need to find the link with the country I bought the phone in? If so, I didn't see Korea on that list at all.
Also, when I do this, will the counter be reset to zero?
Thanks again for your help.

Hi,
So you rooted a LTE version, can I ask which version did you have (SHV-E250S / SHV-E250K / SHV-E250L)?
Is it meaning the rooting process of LTE version is same as the non LTE (3G?) Note II?
Also, what is the reason of returning the phone? Did you find something not good with LTE?
Thank you.

I rooted a SHV-E250L. The process went very smoothly. Especially considering I'd never rooted a phone before. So, from my experience, it seems to be the same process but don't take my word for it.
The phone is awesome - no problems at all. It was just very expensive and I was having a little buyer's remorse. I'm over it now. I was also concerned about not being able to use it in the US when I move back, which I am still unsure about. I have asked a few developers on here but haven't heard back yet. If possible, I'd like to flash a US ROM on the phone so that I can use it on the networks there and access the unrestricted Google Play Store... so, we'll see.
Hope that helps.

I dont think these will work with your phone. These are for rhe N7100. Going by your recent posts, it looks like you have a different model.

Brian,
I am living in Korea as well and I have a lot of experience with the Korean smart phones.
To answer some of your questions, you can use them in the states with either a Stateside SIM (assuming your phone is unlocked, you can get it unlocked from the store if you're going to be traveling) or a Korean SIM (obvious roaming charges). I don't think the LTE bands are the same in SK and the US, therefore you wouldn't be able to use the LTE.
In my experience (with my SGS1) you won't be able to flash a US or Int'l ROM on your Korean model. The internals might be closer than the SGS1 and it's variants were but I wouldn't do it unless you have the Note2 Korean ROM ready to flash back with Odin in the event it won't boot.
You can get unrestricted Play Store access now. You need to download MarketAccess. Google it. it Allows you to basically tell the phone what network it thinks it's on.
In the event you ever need to unroot your phone, you just need to use Odin to flash the official firmware.
If you need anything else, let me know...

Most likely Tegrak will have a kernel for this device before too long. You would then be able to use the Odin software to root the phone. The process is the same for both.

Thank you so much for the answers. I really appreciate it. So, you're saying for sure I will not be able to use this phone's LTE capabilities in the US on any network? If so, that's a huge game changer for me... I wonder what LG U+'s return policy is... I know I can just transfer the phone to someone else here in Korea when I leave and pick up a Note 2 in the states when I go back but I feel like I'd be losing a lot of money since the cost of the phone is spread out amongst the monthly payments here in Korea. Are there any phones that will work work both on SK LTE and US LTE?
Regarding un-rooting my phone, don't I need to get a hold on the official firmware before I can flash it with Odin? Or is it stored somewhere on my phone? All the official firmwares I've seen on XDA are for the N7100 not the N7105. Any suggestions?
Thank you, again, for all your support. You rock!

No problem, glad to help.
I am also looking for the firmware online. I haven't found it yet. PM me your email and when I find it, I'll send it over to you.
All info I have read says LTE is different. The 3G would still work just no LTE.
Idk what LG's policy is, but you could take it to Samsung a/s in the electronics market to revert it if needed.
Good luck. I might know someone who could take the phone of your hands next year if you want to go that route.

Good info here. But what about his flash counter? Will that be reset to zero by flashing stock from via Odin?

Flash counter didn't exist when I was tinkering with me s1. I'll have to investigate. I would imagine there will be a way to revert it. I also would guess the Samsung a/s could do it?

SHV-E250S problem.
Hello SHV-E250S/K/L users.
Does anyone know where I can download an official factory stock ROM for my SHV-E250S ?
I have an IMEI missing issue, and EFS file deleted issue. After wich i have a black notice on the screen and no boot logo or turn of logo, it just switches straight away after pressing the button.
No network or IMEI(((
I just came back from the Samsung official service center, and guess what, they can`t help me. They say i need to flash an original factory rom, i even brought them the two roms i downloaded from the: www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SHV-E250S&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
And they said that these are not official factory roms, that they are custom, all thaw when i flash with one them, and go to recovery mode, my current binary changes to official. Don’t know why but everything else stays the same:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SHV-E250S
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (37 counts)
CURENT BINARY: Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
DON`T KNOW HOW TO FIX, AND WHERE TO GET FACTORY ROM((((
Would appreciate any help!

Hello magick86,
You probably saw my problem posted above, i wonder if you can help me with my phone.
And other users as well please, If someone has SHV-E250S, could you please share your pit file with me?
For me to try and flash my device with your pit.file in order to recover my partitions and BINARY TYPE, when i open my pit file in pit magic, binary type is unknown((( Want to flash with official rom and your correct pitfile.
Thank you.
I made an incredibly stupid mistake and didn't notice what the actual model number for my S4 Mini was. I used a guide to root it as if it were a GT-I9195 and now I've completely screwed it up. When it booted I couldn't connect to any type of network and the soft keys didn't work at all. I tried to install what I thought was the original firmware to the phone, but again didn't know I had the wrong model number. How do I restore my phone to its original state? I no longer care if it is rooted or not, I would just like to have a working cell phone again.

I did do something very similar, or kind of similar recently. After installing Lineage 14.1 in order to get root you have to flash a superSu zip. However this was on an S5 so I'm not sure if it would work on this model. I wish I wouldn't have lost my J, I may be able to help more. However for less than these phones cost, you can have an S5 or S6 (occasionally I even run into S7s for under 100. Even a 2 or 3 year old flagship is far above these vl series. (and they're easy to root plus have tons of custom ROMs, mods etc.)

Downloading this through Odin - would that be considered tampering? - I have had 7.0 on a sprint note 5 and I loved it. I now have an AT&T note 5 on cricket and I have to wait for cricket to come out with the update ... zzz .... does samsung s health and pay still work after flashing through Odin? I'm only using this phone until the new note phones come out, so I don't want to mess up selling this phone by downloading through Odin. - thanks in advance.

OK just to be clear - making sure before I download this since with 7.0 there's no going back - This doesn't trip Knox or Samsung? I don't want to mess anything up just want 7.0 now instead of waiting months or so for the update through cricket. Thanks in advance. Also, I seen a post say this is just a partial/half of 7.0 is that fixed or us this still just half of the 7.0 upgrade?

No. This is an official ROM with matching modem bootloader, and recovery. It will not trip Knox.

Yes, this is the FULL 7.0

from here https://www.androidsage.com/2017/03...ndroid-7-0-nougat-ota-n920aucu4eqc6-download/
fyi >> im using virutalbox windows 7 and odin to try to do this <<
after i unzip the files i get four tar files
AP_N920AUCU4EQC6_CL10809541_QB12921033_REV00_user_ lo w_ship_meta.tar
CSC_ATT_N920AATT4EQC6_CL10809541_QB12921033_REV00_ use r_low_ship.tar
CP_N920AUCU4EQC6_CP6021124_CL10809541_QB12921033_R EV 00_user_low_ship.tar
BL_N920AUCU4EQC6_CL10809541_QB12921033_REV00_user_ lo w_ship.tar
i select each one as per requested slot in odin and then hit start and then odin crashes.
since that didnt work i opend the ap.xxx.tar.rar for the ap slot and hit start. there was some activity int he odin message box. firmware update start. single download..... and left it like that for over 30 minutes and there was no change. so i shut the phone off and restarted and nochange on the phone.
THEN i opened that ap.xxx.tar.rar file and saw that there was tar.md5 file inside. extracted and repeated the process and since i dont have a pda slot i choose to open under the ap slot.
so far same deal. odin message says NAND Write Start.
(im starting to believe that headers are not correct and doesnt want to follow through withe update)
if someone can guide me in the right direction or help where i went wrong. do i really have download 20gb of 10 updates for each step by step update to get to nougat and adb sideload?? cuz that is crazy. any help to get my note 5 lolipop to nougat is much appreciated.
also, if there is any knowledgeable buddy out there, since im on the 3BPH4 endind baseband is it rootable? (without loosing root when you reboot)
either way i dont care much about root but would definitely like tobe flashin roms etc, but as for now i just want to get to nougat
Hello I was rooting my Moto g6 play and made the awful mistake of not backing up efs partition ( I know Dumb). I got it all done and booted up and now unknown imei. I was wondering if there where any tech savvy people on here that would know how to fix this problem. I know the Imei and if I fastboot getvar I can see the iemi. Plzz help thanks.

Just flash stock firmware. thats a pretty big mistake to make lol I'm pretty sure I made it quite clear in my guide to backup at least 2 or 3 times. But just flash stock firmware using the commands at the bottom of my guide. Even if the bootloader is locked the commands will work to reflash it still. The need links for stock firmware is also in the guide. And I will say this. If you took the newest update before rooting then you will have to wait for that firmware to be uploaded because its not uploaded yet.

The newest build is only a few days old so it will be nearly impossible to find online. And it has a different baseband and radio than the previous build. But the October update is OCP27.91-150
As long as the imei isn't zero you should be able to get service back. I had the same issue when I flashed an older firmware like a moron. But when I took the update again, I got service back. I don't recommend it because I may have just been lucky, but no matter what don't flash the gpt, asdspo(?) And bootloader with the older firmware. It'll mess your life up.
Ok i guess ill have to wait it out. Tried to flash stock and still unknown imei and no base band version so guessing it was updated. Thank guys!

Try taking the update again over WiFi if you can. You shouldn't have an issue as long as you're back to stock. But the update is only 3 days old so you may have a chance.

@ninjakira Would my modem.img backup be of any use here? Or anything else? I don't know what is stored where.

At this point no it's gonna need a full reflash of the firmware. I was having issues with my service and went and flashed the OEM file from the 2nd update through fastboot and did the erase carrier command and got my service fixed. Could try that.

If you have the xt1922-9 then that means you have the att version if I'm not mistaken. If so just go to the links in my guide for stock firmware in the att folder. It has both the firmware your on plus the updated firmware from September which is ocp27.91-62-3 plus my guide will help you achieve root. Just please read it all

It flashes an everything seems to be ok other than the Imei unknown which causes the phone not to read my sim card if im not mistaken. Thanks for taking the time to try and help.

Baseband is software. Radio is a piece of hardware. The piece of hardware that gets your carrier's signal. It can't be upgraded without physically altering the phone. Even then it would need to be the same exact radio because the stock drives probably wouldn't work, and the chances of a dev making a version for 1 person with a different hardware would be slim to none.

Try flashing stock firmware. If that doesn't work there are other options still.

You were flashing a gsi not a rom. Even then a rom and even less so a gsi, doesn't contain all the same data as what stock does.
