Please help me root and put cwm on my phone.
My current android version is 4.0.4 stock rom.
I am living here in the Philippines.
Hi slyzzz
you will need to revert your lu6200 back to gingerbread (stock firmware version 135), then follow the guide found on this forum to root and install cwm.
On stock 4.0.4 (i assume your are on software version of lu620161 (check your version under setting) you won't be able to root your phone depending on how you updated your phone.
n
I am now on 160. Could you give me the link to the thread? Cant actually find it.

You can flash the ICS engineer version in order to get root: http://115.com/file/e79w9lmj#LU620042-00.kdz
For flashing the KDZ file you better use this version of updater, i already integrated the windows enabler in it. So no need to install / activate the windows enabler: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0x75ol8y4uwz69r/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.rar
Make sure you are in USB debugging mode, or better close your phone... hold Volume up and power button. This get you into download mode and now you can start the update tool for flashing the KDZ file.
After install finished you root your phone: https://www.box.com/s/891052e09272fb345bc8
If root process finished you can bring CWM onto you phone: http://115.com/file/c26taagr#RecoveryNEW.zip
If all that is done, you should be able to flash any ICS custom ROM available for the moment.
Good luck and if you have more questions, let it out.

Dear all,
Well I dont know where to start. But here is what happened with my N7100 Note 2.
I was on the latest 4.4.2, the phone restarted suddenly one day and it just dont boot stuck at samsung logo,
flashed the 4.4.2 stock from sammobile. and it worked fine everything was perfect for a week, till it happened again
flashed the same rom. and here is where the trouble begins.
The IMEI changed to generic 00499XXX.., Serial No: 000000
i managed to downgrade to 4.1.2 with mobile odin, flashed a lot of stocks and customs as well. And after a very hard work for a week i manage to get back my IMEI and serial number back, now I backed up my EFS learned my lesson
Now i flashed the stock rom 4.1.1, phone is unlocked. cant make calls, or sms or data internet.
Now I have service: out of service, Bluetooth address: unavailable (while its in the efs folder the mac is in the file), Device status modified, And when I connect it to USB it wont recognize the phone until I have to dial *#7284# and change USB from modem to PDA, then save and reset. (EVERYTIME) I need a permanent fix as well for that.
Please I need help with those as i cant make my phone work.
Thanks and regards,
Mohamed Selim.
First and most important:
If you ever were on stock 4.4.x you can't downgrade to 4.1.x because of knoxed bootloader.
What you did with mobile odin was no real downgrade cause your bootloader wasn't touched.
Don't try to flash firmware beyond your current bootloader version.
Install Samsung Phone Info app from play store and look for actual bootloader version.

Well It actually did downgrade to 4.1.2 with Mobile odin and I checked the version and Baseband and everything it was the 4.1.2

As I said before: YOU DID NOT DOWNGRADE firmware to 4.1.2 with Mobile Odin, check with Info app from Samsung:
You will find bootloader between *ND3 and *NI1 and all are 4.4.2 KitKat
So, whatever firmware you try to flash under 4.4.2 is supposed to fail.

Mobile Odin does everything but doesn't flash bootloader so it is like flashing a custom rom which also doesn't contain bootloader.
PC Odin flashes complete firmware, so this is the only way to really up- or downgrade. Hope you understand the difference.
The only solution I see for you is to concentrate on 4.4.2 equal or up your actual bootloader version.

I really want to help you out and I assure you that I know what I am talking about (take a look into my signature with stock roms and bootloaders).
There is indeed no solution on 4.1.1 and the screenshot doesn't show bootloader version. To believe what I say try to find out what BL version you are on. If it shows XXUFND3 up to XXUFNI1 you have the proof.

XXUFND3 was the first KitKat firmware for N7100 and yours was the second.
Three options:
1) Flash firmware using PC Odin at least ND4, maybe better NE1 or up
2) Flash through recovery any stock KitKat custom rom provided by wesamothman, cosmyndemeter or me
3) Flash through recovery any KitKat custom rom you like from development section here
4.3 custom roms may work also, but not 100% sure.
Beyond 4.3 I wouldn't recommend.

Best and fastest one is XXUFNI1, NH2 and NG3 aren't bad either.
Do a clean installation (factory reset) and after setup device go back into recovery to flash SuperSu.zip.:highfive:

Hi
Thanks in advance for the help.
I have a UK orange mobile galaxy NOTE 2 LTE N7105.
I want to root it, but use a stock ROM for now.
When I looked for the CF autoroot download files, I found a problem.
My build number is KOT49H.N7100XXUFNI1 , which seems to be for a N7100. I think this maybe because it got an OTA update while i was in India.
Now my questions are -
1. Which CF auto root file should I use the one that matches my actual device or the build number itself?
CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip
for the N7100 but matches my build number
or
CF-Auto-Root-t0lte-t0ltexx-gtn7105.zip
for N7105(my phone) but does not match my build number
2. If I don't unlock the bootloader(i asume it is locked as I have not tried to unlock it) , will it wipe my data? and if so, how do I unlock my bootloader in the simplest way first?
Thanks
N710x don't have locked bbotloader.
As your device has got that OTA and seems to work for you, I am convinced you have an N7100, otherwise you would have lost wifi and ability to make calls because of wrong baseband.

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply.
I am not experienced with any of this. I am not sure if the bootloader is locked. I was asking just because on the CF website it mentioned this.This is not related the the first query I amde about the build number discrepancy.
I got the OTA when in India - I am not sure if this makes a difference. My device as the LTE sign on the back of the casing. And my phone has a 4g connect mode in the mobile networks tab in settings.
In the "about device" section it states my model as GT-N7105. And it states the 7105 model on the box I received from orange.
My baseband version is N7105BVUFNE1 and the SE for android status - enforcing SEPF_GT-N7105_4.4.2_0040.
Any thoughts?
OK, now it is clear that you have LTE N7105.
I suggest to flash stock firmware for your region from HERE through Odin and then TWRP from HERE.
I suppose you are going to flash a custom rom so no need to root your device.

What is TWRP?
I assume that the firmware I must pick is for a N7105?
I wanted to root but use a stock ROM - I was mainly worried about custom ROMS not having updates for security related issues as I use banking apps. Is it safer to root and use a stock ROM?

I have linked to N7105 firmware in my last post.
Forget about TWRP and go for CF-autoroot for your LTE device after firmware flash.
Custom roms aren't unsafe but you got to find out yourself and it is your decicion where to go :good:

Sorry - not sure if I am being dumb here.
But...
On the Sammobile website link you posted the firmware for my device is correct.
"United Kingdom (EE) 4.4.2 N7105XXUFNI2 " This is what shows in my device information.
But on the ChainFire page this build number does not correspond to the LTE version N7105 cfautoroot file.
See the details from the table on the chain fire website please.
"GT-N7100 t03gxx t03g smdk4x12 exynos4 KOT49H.N7100XXUFNI1 4.4.2"
"GT-N7105 t0ltexx t0lte smdk4x12 exynos4 KOT49H.N7105XXUFNH1 4.4.2"
So, if my build number is N7100XXUFNI1 but my phone is the LTE version - which cfautoroot file must I flash?

If it wasn't complete it wouldn't pass the md5 check in Odin.
I always use FDM (Free download manager) to download and have never had an issue.
You need to use Internet Explorer and click through the links as normal (no right clicking) for FDM to pick it up.

here is a screen shot of the error in odin
The firmware is fine it passes the md5 hash check.
The problem is either the wrong firmware or your bootloader is locked or doesn't allow downgrades.
As a hunch I'd say the wrong firmware for your device, try a t705 firmware instead if t705w.

thank you for your time ashyx I have tried everything like different firmwares, different odin, different computer but all the same results. I think the bootloader is locked. the only firmware I could flash using odin is the last lollipop and all kitkat failed. I think I might sell it and buy an international model instead.

Thanks for this thread. I have MM stock, but the hotspot now requires a reboot to get it working. Can I use this method to flash back to Lollipop? I saw a thread saying you cannot flash anything older than 5.1.1. That was an older thread, and basically he was told he can't flash 5.0.2 back on his S6 because he already had 5.1.1.

Well, I flashed my stock Note 5 rom over to the MM leak and now I'm stuck with it till the official release is out and I can flash back to stock and receive the latest official updates as they come out.
What happened was I wiped the drive and then flashed the lower # official roms and all it did was bootloop or just wouldn't flash the version at all and would just give me an error while trying to flash.

my phone stiil blocked on recovery mode after mm 8.0 download with dm-verity verification failed. Chek drk first i can try this ?
I flashed backed to 5.1.1, I left my phone sitting with wifi enabled, sprint downloaded the 6.0.1 update and gave me no choice but to install it again. I had no way to back out of it. I put 5.1.1 on my phone twice today and it keeps sending me to MM. Is there a way to flash back to 5.1.1 and disable OTA without rooting the phone..? if not then you really can't go back because Sprint will force the update to your phone.
i guess there should be an option in setting/update for you to uncheck the "update".

The DRK error means that someone changed your phone's IMEI but did it improperly. Now the phone will not even turn on past the Samsung screen. I run phone a business and offer a service to fix it - PM me if interested

Is there a way to flash back to 5.1.1 and disable OTA without rooting the phone..? if not then you really can't go back because Sprint will force the update to your phone.

wait a minute... you can roll back a stock unrooted rom without having to root??
I need tether. I have to have tether. They forced the Marshmallow update without my permission. Complete BS. Now I have no tether.

Rolling back is as simple as using ODIN and flash the stock rom, I rooted 6.0.1 and its starting to grow on me but I can flash back to stock 5.1.1 even if I was not rooted, I only root because like you I need tether and so far this was the only way on 6.0.1 MM
Man oh man, I thought I broke my charging port the day after I rooted. I was about to cry myself to sleep for the next 2 months.
Going to MM
Should I use this to go back to stock and then take the OTA to get to the latest firmware? Or would it be a better idea to download the current firmware from Sammobile?

Don't go the SAMMOBILE page, I have linked to a much faster site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862

I can't say if it actually works as I live in the US and my phone is not unlocked, but it seems to have helped others.
Here a link for the latest stock TAR files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862

This is a very old thread. That error means that your phone has updated to a software version of 6 or 7 and you can't revert back to 5.

More accurately, it means that your bootloader version is 4, and you can't flash anything lower.
But no, you can't go back to Android 5
