So call me a super noob but I cant for the life of me unroot my dang Note 2. Ive read forums and threads on how and I dont know what my deal is. I dont know how to get odin on my laptop. I search and search to download it but cant find a way to download it. Im on a different pc than the one I rooted it to begin with because the old pc is stupid slow. I dont have supersu on my phone right now cuz I was screwing around with my phone and a friend of mine said I could unroot the phone by going into the supersu app. So I dont have su binaries. I dont even know if im rooted anymore. Im on scotts ROM the 4.1.2 version. I do have CWM recovery still tho. All I want to know is a step by step process on how to get odin onto my pc, and go from there on. And yes I have read forums about how to unroot but none say anything about how to install odin. I feel really dumb but I really need my phone unrooted ASAP. I have a new phone and tranferred the SIM card over to it....do I need to have the SIM card in my Note 2 in order to unroot it??? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help a bro out

Download Odin (it's just a simple windows program). - http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...3&d=1304094576
Make sure you have the latest samsung drivers - http://www.mediafire.com/?hzlnda0l5t8qyes
To use odin later all you do is power down the phone and boot back into download mode (volume down, power and home at the same time).
Open Odin, plug in phone...Odin should recognize the phone and you will see the com port noted in yellow.
From here you can follow these instructions to flash back to bone stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

The download is compressed so you need to extract it (unzip). I am not familar with Zip opener but it probably works like the others (7-zip, etc). Just right click on the file and choose extract. Then you should see a normal application you can open.

I don't think you can factory reset while the phone is password locked. Tried it once on an S1 when a friend's kid locked them out of the phone due to too many pattern attempts.
You will probably have to flash a new rom via Odin. You can download the firmware off xda or sammobile.com. Just search and you will find heaps of info.
If your in Melbourne I can probably help you.

You will need a 3 part file and tick repartition in Odin I believe. That's what I do.

Has anyone tried Odin flashing cwm-recovery-all.zip?
It was designed to work on many phones but also integrates voodoo for those kernels that can use it.
I don't see why it wouldn't work but I am no development and without a recovery image available from sanding I don't want to kill my player.

Could you give me a link of what you are talking about? never heard of it before, bit I would be willing to try it.
i just checked the sdcard on my mesmerize and i was incorrect, the name is cwm-recovery-all.zip - you can also google that and get tons of download links from places like mediafire.
it is CWM or Odin flashable.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-clockworkmod-all-roms-updated-3-30-11-a.html
it was actually found here but here is a link for another place that has a link for both cwm flash and odin flash versions.
frankly i have not even seen anyone post how to get into recovery or how to get into download mode...
but of course adb should easily be able to do both.
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob to android, How would I flash this? You say you can flash it using cwm but isn't that what we are trying to get on? I have no idea how to use Odin and would appreciate help.
Edit; where do I even download Odin?
Could I just do this manually with root explorer? looking inside the zip it seems possible, but would I have to do anything with the "META_INF" or "kernal_update" folders, or are they only for flashing?

nope no manual install. its a flash.
and google is your friend dude.
just look for something like Odin 1.3 or higher.
but i use 1.3 because i have a Galaxy S 1 phone. (samsung mesmerize)
and i am gunna warn you, there is a good chance this will brick your Player.
and since Samsung doesnt offer a firmware download, you are screwed. i dont think even Kies would be able to fix it.
downlaod the cwm-recovery-all.zip (or you may download a tar file i forget
unzip it, and inside is cwm-recovery-all.tar inside of it is recovery.bin. (dont unpack the tar file.
odin is easy. just put your phone into download mode. (via adb - adb reboot download )
plug it into your pc.
open odin - it should say something is recognized or added (meaning your phone.)
click pda and choose the cw-recovery-all.tar
then click start.
once again you could easily kill your Player by doing this. - atleast until someone figures out how to
but if I do brick, can I use a backup rom to fix it, or will this screw recovery mode= no possible fix?
Edit; looking at that thread, it seems this is for 2.2, I have 2.3.5, I think that is a good reason for me not to try this, sorry! I'm chickening out.

for above problem.. i managed to flash back to my stock rom.
1. download your stock rom from samfirmware (2.2/TTT version in my case)
2. download odin3 1.85.
3. flash using pda button
worked for me.
ps. i had mine bricked due to checking partition box, using above method fixed it.
Last time I checked, samfirmware didn't have it for U.S.
Also were you able to get yours into download mode, if so how?
Also about my post above, I just mean the recovery.bin file, not whole rom.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I backed up; system, kernal, and recovery. I put these int a .tar.md5 file with cygwin, and when flashing with odin it fails as it gets to "recovery.bin" wich leads me to believe that is the problem.
Ok a buddy of mine last night started rooting my phone using the (How to Root AT&T Galaxy Note SGH-i717! [ICS][Gingerbread][Easiest Method]) he made it through the first part of puting the cwm on it. then when he tried to connect the phone via usb, to transfer superuser, the compter would not recognize my phone. so he could not go anyfurther do to the time we had left. so i tried to go home and finish up on the computer, since i figured the hard part was over. Now my computer does not recognize it either. ive tried re-downloading the drivers and downloading kies. and still nothing.
so my question is, can i finish rooting with out a computer and if not, what can i do?

I've assumed you followed direction got a rooted kernel using odin then install superuser, from that then use odin again to flash cwm.
Are you in download mode on your Note?
"1. Turn off your phone and uplug it. Take the battery out of your phone, put it back in, and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time. Keep them held down until the phone starts buzzing and you see the Samsung name.
2. At this point you are either in download mode or the phone will tell you to hit volume up, at which point you'll be ready."
IF not working, recommend starting from scratch

Try using a different cable or different USB port our maybe even a different computer and see if you can have a different setup recognize your phone. In the man time, read the tutorials at the top of the general section to get up to speed if your friend is not there to help anymore.

I don't think he has super user so he might not be able to delete it. If he can't connect at all and odin doesn't recognise then he ia in a tight spot. If you can get into cwm by holding the power button and vol up and down, try wiping everything factory cache div. Cache then fix permissions. If that and the drivers being ddownloaded did not work i sure hope you have an att warranty or have only had the fone for 30 days. If you take it back to the retailer and act like its stock they will never know or care. Try to get a guy who is an iphone fanboy if you get and android wiz you could be out of luck

Ok a buddy of mine last night started rooting my phone using the (How to Root AT&T Galaxy Note SGH-i717! [ICS][Gingerbread][Easiest Method]) he made it through the first part of puting the cwm on it. then when he tried to connect the phone via usb, to transfer superuser, the compter would not recognize my phone. so he could not go anyfurther do to the time we had left. so i tried to go home and finish up on the computer, since i figured the hard part was over. Now my computer does not recognize it either. ive tried re-downloading the drivers and downloading kies. and still nothing.
so my question is, can i finish rooting with out a computer and if not, what can i do?

this is the rason why u dont let friends do this kind of thing for u!! it is something u must learn..u may have bugs here and there and if u have no clue how to fix it ur %[email protected] so i would say undo all that he did then start fresh...use odin 1.85exe go find the att recovery b4 file plug in to odin click pda find where u put the recovery file that u DL put it in the pda box then u should be good to go
Ok ill make this so simple. You need to start over from the top. I would suggest going on YouTube search for how to root the Att galaxy note. Just watch it. Its a good way to learn odin. Then search Att galexy not recovery. This way you have a visual step by step. That's how I did it I watched it then followed along. I read all the comments (if any) in the comment section. Trust me it so much easier that way cuz you can stop and compare screens and such or stop and replay parts that u need.

If you can't access a computer.
I'm writing this because as I understand it, your friend was SUCCESSFUL at getting CWM on and just not root. If your phone is working otherwise, then try this.
With the phone turned OFF
Hold down BOTH volume buttons and turn the phone ON
When you see the Samsung logo appear LET GO of both volume buttons.
If you have CWM installed right you should be at the CWM menu, offering various options, just select REBOOT SYSTEM and post back here and let us know if CWM is in fact installed correctly.
Can Odin be used more than once? I am getting a message with yellow triangle and can only boot phone into Odin. I cannot seem to find a working valid MD5 file either to restore stock.the one posted here seems invalid when checked by Odin.I was going to reflash beans106 build 1 since that seems to be my only option.i wonder how verizon would like me showing up with a phone to reflash.
Anyone I am stuck
Thanks

You should be able to use Odin multiple times! over and over. If you go to Verizon they will laugh at you

Thanks I keep reading threads that say only use stock roms for Odin after you loaded a custom rom.
I am screwed at this point now anyway not being able to even load current beanstown verson 1 in phone anyway.
Guess a totally bricked phone is all that is left to do then they can have a real good laugh.
Your phone is soft-bricked??

you have a serious problem on your end...either your computers have viruses or your not telling the whole story. the files work fine i have used them all. i would try installing a fresh copy of windows on your pc.
alternative option: send me your device and 20.00 and i will unlock it and put whatever rom you want on it, then send it back.

I need my phone for a sick family member so a trip to Verizon maybe my only option
The files you speak of do not work now for me or they may not need to be unzipped and not specified in directions
The only file Odin sees and does a checksum is is the one that loaded yesterday. The one you said I could not have loaded.
Does Imnuts files for stock recovery need to be unzipped?

Use SirVilhelm's post for the Odin flashable and make sure you are using the Odin exe from Adam's bootloader unlock thread. Or flash Revision 3 instead of the full stock image. I borked my phone slightly and this worked.
Uncheck auto reboot, and after it finishes unplug and pull battery and wait for 10 seconds so it doesnt keep going back to odin.
Report back if it works at all
EDIT: Imnuts file does not need to be unzipped. Use as is.

your getting corrupt downloads because of something on your end...That's the part your failing to understand... you keep saying "oh well that don't work for me"....ok but there must be a reason. All those files and methods that have been provided work for everyone else including myself. Take a step back make sure your doing everything correctly and make sure your pc is clean and no viruses...again its something on your end.

I have been working with the above poster on this issue for a couple days. He has supposedly tried all these files you posted and they don't work for him. there is something going on from his side of the coin...
Very informative response.I thank you a bunch. I ended up using Imnuts stock rom and she booted up fine.I needed to know when those special rooted stock files were there ending in xz format.I could not get Odin to see them.I was not going ti buy this whole brick thing because I was at least able to get into Odin.
I have yet to get Casual to work though even though my machines see my phone in ADB
Happy holidays!

I provided you with the same links? Now all of a sudden imuts rom worked?? come on tell the truth what else was the problem?? Im not buying it lol...glad you figured it out tho. :good:
Hi I was wondering if anyone had a link or a copy laying around of the latest ota (vramc3) to use with Odin? The link in Droidstyle's guide takes you there, but the download doesn't work at all. I went to the Samsung sites, but I don't want to flash the wrong thing. I'm not new to using Odin, use it on my tab. I just need that file/safety net before i actually NEED it. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it very much.

It works for me...click on regular download, wait 30 seconds and click the download link.
Thanks man. I'll give it a try again. Maybe the site was acting up last night. It took me to hot file and when I clicked the link it said downloading for like a minute then I got got network error. Weird thing was I downloaded Odin again and the pit file again without a hitch using your links. I'll report back.

Great, it's coming down now. For some reason I kept getting "unknown network error" last night. So I still use 7-zip to unzip it and stick it in PDA, stick the pit in there and run in DL mode correct? Factory reset in stock recovery to avoid bootloop and then I'm good. Please forgive all the questions, just never used Odin on my N2 and I want to be really sure. Took me a minute to figure out why the stock rooted and unlocked file by Mr. Davidson wouldn't show up in Odin. Then remembered I needed 7-zip.
