I need to unroot my phone and do whatever else needed to be able to get my note 2 replaced. Some quick google-fu turned up references to doing such a thing, but no tutorial. Anyone have a link to files and instructions ? Stock rom and kernal, just rooted.
Droidstyle's guide. Section 1b, use the vramc3 file and pit in Odin. Then you are good.

Just to be certain - this will wipe out any and all traces of my rooting this device that verizon, best buy, or Samsung could see?
Yes, it will be just like it cane from the factory. Next time please use q&a.

I tried using troubleshooting but traffic to that board is next to nil. Gotta go where the people are - location location location! Hopefully there won't be a next time.
Thanks for the help!

samsungs seem to have a diff approach...

For me the easiest way is to Odin a stock rom on the phone cuz they already come rooted. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this thread belongs in general

Odin is a must if you plan on rooting a fascinate, read, read and read so more. By the way make sure when using odin you flash in pda not Phone or you will have a $500 paper weight. And this definitely should have been posted in general.

Download Odin
Download system kernel and eb01 radio
Take out battery of phone and sdcard (I take out the sd just to be safe)
hold down the bottom volume button while plugging in to computer(should show yellow android digging something I think and say downloading)
open Odin on computer
Click PDA
Click the modem file
Click start
Click the system file
Click start
Click the kernel
Click start
Reboot and you're good to go

Step 1. Smash it.
Step 2. Read forum rules and post in the right section.
Step 3. Call for replacement phone.
Step 4. ????
Step 5. Profit.

That links to a thread containing the stock ROM that comes with your phone. It'll remove root, reinstall bloatware, and put everything back to out-of-the-box.
Just Flash it via Odin and you're set. The only thing that might be different from the original is the custom ROM counter, which is not something that we can alter at this point (requires modded bootloader).
DO NOT POST A THREAD IN DEVELOPMENT UNLESS YOU DEVELOP SOMETHING
I just moved one of the other ones you created. If i see another I will start issuing infractions. Read the stickies and know the rules
I'm developing a headache.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II and I bricked it. I had it rooted and the boot was unlocked. However I flashed a nightly, using Oden, and when I turn it back on i get the message that there is "unauthorized software and to take it into the nearest verizon store. I can only go into download mode and recovery mode. I can't find the saved restore of the ROM I had before flashing the nightly so I can't recover it to how i had it before. :crying:

Says "MD5 Hash value is invalid" and the recovery is downloaded as a XZ file so Odin is not able to find it to use.

So you got a bad download and what recovery are you talking about. I linked you to a stock Odin package that just doesn't contain sboot

If he can get into recovery why has no one asked him if he can just download a rom and transfer it to SD?

Well good point he could try a stock ROM. The problem is that with that error message you can't get into recovery so something is not adding up. I didn't notice he says he gets into recovery because again he shouldn't be able to. However it really is resist to just Odin and stay over.

Thank you, but here is another problem, I went to the link above as recommended and followed everything which went fine. Proceed after step 10 to Adam's unlocking bootlooder. I got as far as loading the image with Odin but when I went back to Casual nothing happens and my phone has a loading with a Green Droid. Casual doesn't do anything like the video where it shows downloading.
