Just a warning to those of you trying other Note 2 root methods on the Verizon Note 2.
If you flash a custom recovery on Note 2, you will get Kies firmware encountered error and break your phone. (which what just happened to me)
It is recoverable however using ODIN Tar: (You can run ODIN in that mode.)

It seems clear Verizon has locked the bootloader and so we will have to wait around for a workaround like the Galaxy S3.

What's up Zedo...I'm subscribed to your YouTube channels. Thanks for the heads up.
So this has nothing to actually do with rooting?
You dont have root, correct?
Maybe this should be in General.

Well, it's not actually black but that is what the local Verizon store called it........
Titanium gray is the color...honestly I like the pebble blue on my gs3 better.

Hi, I was hoping someone could direct me to the back to stock file so I can unroot this galaxy tab 10.1 I had a friend root it for me, but I honestly, at least for this tablet have had nothing but problems. I cannot stand the inconsistancies, and lack of camera use. I did a restore to what I thought was stock, but the tab is still rooted and while I have functionality of the camera's back, the pictures are terrible and grainy.
If someone has a link, or anything helpful to get this tablet back to stock/factory settings for I'd love it. I have been currently trying to fix this. I loved this tablet until it got rooted. Please help.

Uninstall superuser.
And use root explorer to remove "SU" file from: /system/bin/SU or /system/xbin/SU
Howndo you uninstall superuser. This whole rooting madness is driving me crazy. Ive yet to see any real benefit to it. At least on my tab.

I've flashed from rooted ICS to HC 3.2, and then updated back to ICS via OTA with no problems.
Unsure if this thread will even be seen anymore, but I just saw an article for the program triangle away. Since I have flashed this tab several times, I am about to send it into the mfg for repair for the cable charge problem it was having. I'm wondering. Will I need to unroot this tab again, use triangle away and reflahs again? Or is this model exempt from the flash counter?

No root, no problem.
I'd run it for a while on stock unrooted
And see if you are still having the same problems.
From there I would ree download the Odin file to start fresh

It was said earlier, man. If you Odin back to stock, it brings the phone to an Unrooted, completely stock state. It's as if you just turned it on for the first time in the Verizon store.

I'm trying to update my phone, but my phone won't let me. My co-worker thinks it's because of the cLockwork recovery that's doing it. How can I get rid of the cwr so I can update my system
Well you didn't give any information on the software on your phone. Why not flash to an updated rom since you're already rooted. Searching and learning helps.

Your co-worker is right; no custom recovery will allow you to take an update on this phone. At the moment, however, you should not have to take any update.

Under reality.
The insane one provided, yet again, lucidity. This pertains to the Galaxy Note 3, which has a Knox fuse, and running custom recovery disables one's ability to take over-the-air or over-the-wire updates.
Your S3 firmware upgrade is not relevant nor is it germane to the question posted.

Yea reading is tough.....
So I see so many threads about the difficulties about the S4 and whatnot, such as compatibility with Roms... However, I see no mention of Cyanogenmod anywhere. How would I go from stock 4.4.2 to CM?
I understand that Cyanogenmod has this page (can't post links... but I Googled "cyanogenmod galaxy s4 verizon" and chose link to Building CM for S4) but will that work with the 4.4.2?
If that is not what I am looking for, I understand they have nightly and stable builds here (Googled same as above, but chose the CM downloads page [1st one listed for me]).
Just want to make sure I don't brick/screw up my phone
You can't get CM on your phone. Read the stickies they explain what you can and can't do with this phone because of the locked bootloader

If you can manage getting your phone rooted again you can use the app Tri Angle Away to get rid of that silly Custom screen that hangs at boot. I hate that screen!
That screen just means that your phone has found files that have been altered and no longer stock... So it pops up with that.
It's very annoying for us on MDK as it can sometimes make getting into recovery a pain.

It works. I'm on a Verizon S4 myself. I have the MDK bootloader however... Someone on a later bootloader will have to confirm if the Flash Counter can be reset.... I know it can definitely run the Periodic System Check for all our Verizon S4's.

I use WanamXposed to remove it, it's an option under "Security Hacks". You have to be rooted and install the Xposed Framework. I can say for a fact this does NOT trip the Knox counter, and works on JB(MJ7 & MK2) and KK(NC5) bootloaders.

Yeah he's stock 4.4.2 though... only way he could use Wanam to get rid of the custom splash screen is to run a rooted custom rom haha.
I received a new s4 from best buy to replace my dna that was backorder. since the dna was completely unrootable and the phone I originally wanted was the s4 (couldn't get it because it wasn't out yet and family needed phones) I said I would accept the s4 replacement. the last phone I rooted was my old s2 so I see a lot of unfamiliar talk about the version of android on my phone about downgrading to root. could anyone update me or link a good guide to allow me to root my phone? would really like to root it tonight or tomorrow, it will be my only form of internet after I move Friday.

You can't get a custom recovery on any bootloader except mdk (mdk phones were only available during launch, you pretty much have to buy a second hand one from swappa with an mdk build)
