My kernel is KF3 (cfroot) how do i restore back to the stock recovery?
Do i need to have stock recovery if my flash counter is 0 to claim on warranty?
For your phone to be warranty ready you have to be on stock firmware and not rooted. To get the stock recovery, flash the stock KF3 kernel back to your phone. You will need to delete the cwm and superuser app first. You can also just re-flash the entire stock firmware to the phone.

You need a jig to reset the counter.

I'm trying to get back to completely stock before return the Note. These are the steps I found in another thread. I was coming from the UCLF leak but the baseband is still showing UCLF.
1) Flash stock odin through Odin
2) Flash CWM Recovery through Odin
3) Flash AT&T Reset Flash Counter Zip through CWM Recovery
4) root without tripping the flash counter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1518962
5) unroot without tripping the flash counter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=133
After doing this, I thought everything looks stock until I noticed that the baseband was still on UCLF5. Did I flash the wrong stock odin?

If you're on ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers you can do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 to get your stock recovery back. Stop after step 2. You'll still be rooted but it won't increase your flash counter.
I'm planning to flash Siyah kernel on my stock firmware (Samsung 4.0.3). In the Siyah thread it says it includes a CWM image. I inspected the Siyah flashable zip and I only found a zImage file. Is the recovery included inside it?
Please confirm that I can return to stock using the method below, im still a noob
* To restore counter I can use TriangleAway app.
* Should I wipe anything before returning from Siyah to stock?
* Then i flash stock firmware through Odin and the counter wont increase since its Samsung firmware right? Does flashing the official firnware also give me the stock recovery?
Is this all that I need to know ?
Should I worry about backing up EFS before flashing the Siyah kernel or perhaps before returning to stock?
Thank you very much! All answers appreciated!

If are on stock ROM now, you will have to flash SiyahKernel as tar file with Odin.
And yes, CWM recovery is included in the kernel (zImage).
Before flashing, you should backup everything important. Just to be on the safe side.
Some EFS backup tools require root. If you find one which works without root, then you should backup before flashing.
Otherwise make the EFS backup (and a nandroid/system backup in CWM recovery) after flashing SiyahKernel.
Then use TriangleAway app to remove yellow triangle and rest the flash counter.
When flashing stock kernel after SiyahKernel, you don't need to wipe anything.
You can wipe data, if you want to do a factory reset, or you can do the factory reset later (on stock) too.
And yes, after flashing stock kernel, you will be back on stock recovery.

i am a little confused there, can i update it directly to jelly bean using safe kernel?
Have you got root? you don't need to be worried about emmc brick bug as you aren't on ics 4.0.4.
Yes you can. It was only the stock 4.0.4 kernels that where not safe if I remember correctly if you are rooted already you can download and flash via CWM or if you dont want to root you can get stock from sammobile and flash with oidn

If you don't plan to root then download stock from sammobile and flash with odin if you are looking to root get a rooted kernel Siyah and Philz are popular flash one and then flash the rom you want via CWM

yes, i want to root it,
do i have first to install any stock ICS first?
No you can just download a custom rom and flash it. If you flash non stock via ODIN you will increase your binary counter and get the yellow triangle at boot time
If you dont want to have the yellow triangle at boot time there are ways to root without increasing the counter flashing PhilZ kernel via stock recovery is one way but I did not try it myself else there is the triangle away app

non stock and custom sounds like same
im not sure if you saw screanshot of the phone
Do you meant sound the same to flash? If so it will since both are just flashing a new ROM one made by Samsung and the other not. If you flash a custom rom the differences come after it starts up
is it possible to uninstall TWRP recovery and reinstall stock recovery, so i looks normal again..
And is there a way to reset the Knox void..

Now i want to totally reset to stock, so that i can sell my device.

Flash stock firmware (you can get it from sammobile) with odin to go back to stock recovery and unrooted but this won't reset knox count...i don't think there is a way to reset knox.
