Hi,
I am currently having trouble unrooting my N8010 Note.I did the method of downloading stock ROM and flashing it in Odin PDA tab.Everything went successfully with the green success message.However when it reboots,instead of a new clean factory ROM,it is still my current ROM with all the apps and wallpaper still present.but when i opened Adaway,it says that SU binary not found??which means root is not present??
Upon checking download mode:
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom
I retried reflashing 3x..still the same, I cannot get a fresh stock ROM...Help??
If it says the su binary cant be found then you have unrooted. but if you have a custom recovery its not going to be official.
The most reliable method ive found to get it all to stock and official is: root your device, use odin to flash the stock recovery. use triangle away to reset counter (thats why you need root). boot into recovery and factory wipe. use odin to flash stock image. should be totally stock like the day you bought it.
There are other ways but this has never failed for me
Hi,
I kept stock recovery,did not install custom recovery.
Right now i seem to be neither here nor there.By right when i flash stock ROM using PC Odin i shld get a clean ROM.But right now i am still stuck with current ROM with device status as "Custom"

I now have problems rooting..
When i re-root using cf auto root..everything well smoothly..BUT there is no SuperSU.I also can't download it off playstore as it is always loading and loading.Cant check for root access too!!
In summary:
-Tried to unroot by flashing stock ROM,however Stock ROM did not get installed,instead still current ROM and lost root in the process
-Rerooted now triangle-away but same as above:
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom
Must i do anything to make it back to official before reflashing stock ROM?Or flashing a stock ROM will make the it back to Official?
Run TA
Reboot flash stock rom via Odin
Factory reset
Flash stock rom again if the two indicators are modified

Hi guys, I just got a new Note. I was able to flash CWM Recovery using odin. After this, I flashed the stock recovery and booted it up. I tried updating the software via OTA, but after it reboots trying to update, it says update failed. It fails at 24% when the android symbol comes up after booting
Please help me
no help yet??
I'd bet $100 you didn't reset flash counter before flashing stock recovery....
Agree.
U have to reset counter, flash back stock recovery.
OTA is urs.
Sent from N7105, at the corner of this rounded earth.
Most curious. AFAIK, OTA's will fail without stock recovery.
It seems the OTA's check for root or altered rom files, this has been my experience anyway, and if found to have been altered fails....
Ive searched all over but i cant seem to find the .tar file i need to flash for n8013 ueclk8 stock recovery so i can recieve updates should there be any. I have seen in various threads the stock recovery for a n8000. If i install that will i recieve updates? Im in the USA. Any kind soul that can educate me on this matter?

Get the stock recovery there. I believe from everything ive read, to receive OTA you must be stock, unrooted with a device status as normal or official. As long as you're rooted, no OTA.
Stock recovery for all devices should be same but incase you hit a road block and cannot find it anywhere just flash the firmware for your device again and it will automatically install the stock recovery
Before flashing stock recovery be sure you use triangleaway to reset your binary count

Ahh. okay thanks.
What gives? I'm using my P5113 and i want to official stock unroot my tab. So what i did was apply triangle away and wipe to stock ICS firmware via mobile odin (which does not raise the flash counter). I would then upgrade to JB firmware OTA and now when i click for updates i get the "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." message. Even if i check about<status it says my device status is custom. This method should "officialize" my tab 2, but what gives? I need it to be Official unrooted stock firmware with no signs of modification. Please help!
Edit:
I once again did the same method but i am now back to ICS stock where i am able to update to JB but i am choosing not to, If i check the status, it now comes up as modified instead of custom. Is there a way to show stock?
Ummm , yeah, stock is stock , get rid of any crapware or root it , it becomes unofficial

Even if i reflashed the official firmware and removing the flash count?
If so is there a way for Samsung to know the warranty is void? The method i follow is said to work from a guide here at XDA.

Are you using Custome Recovery.?
Flash with Stock Recovery. I think it should resolve the issue.

Thats's right if you need back to orginal stock system easiest way is :
- flash it to official stock samsung rom - (best way by odin so it will also put back default recovery program)
- root this stock firmware
- use triangle away to reset flash counter
- flash it once again with odin to stock rom (to unroot it)

I was thinking of doing that but thought it was a dumb idea (i'm always doubting myself). Now that you mentioned im thinking it would work. I'll give it a try and let you know.

This didn't seem to work, i used mobile odin pro to flash to stock again while i had stock recovery. I think it still raises the flash counter. Do you think it would work if i unroot it with super su?
You are still rooted with stock rom? That will be problem. If you flashed with mobile odin pro there was an option to root rom while being flashed if i remember correctly try to untick that option
I can confirm that the Super SU method works. I am now official. Thanks for the help everyone!

Dude,
Follow this procedure.
1 Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM)
2 Root the Device
3 Clear Flash Counter from Triangle Away
4 Do wipe data/factory reset through CWM
5 Install Mobile Odin
6 Extract Stock Recovery (Recovery.img) from Stock Rom.
7: Flash it Stock Recovery from Mobile Odin
This is Pure Stock Rom with Root. You should be able to Update your device with OTA updates

This is exactly what i did multiple times and i made sure it was an unrooted flash vith mobile odin, it still seemed to raise my flash counter by 1.
So instead i did your method but rooted it afterwards and then resetted the flash counter. Later i unrooted the device with super su and wiped data using stock recovery. I am now back to normal.
Hi,
Being a newbie to this flashing thing. I rooted/SUsered and I had Google Apps running ok on 4.2.2 Android happily on this GT-i9502 from China...
Then I decided to try and update to 4.3. Dumb.
It's current state is: If I try to re install 4.3 latest factory stock in Odin 3.07 it fails at SYSTEM bit. then I have to put CWM back onto it to get it to do anything again (It goes into that yellow triangle screen only.)
I've tried wiping cache etc. But still no joy with Firmware restore from PC - Odin. I'm now in a cycle of Fail firmware restore then CWM to un-Brick it slightly… I can get into CWM but normal start up is just the China UNICOM splash screen then blank…
Also I might have formatted the data a few times…
I didn't do a back up of 4.2.2 either, I know I'm an idiot. :crying:
On the downloading screen in ODIN mode it says
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
WARRANTY BIT: 1
Have I really messed it up?
Also if I try to install 4.2.2 official stock again it says: Unsupported Version
What can I try next? Flashtool?
Thanks

Hi Guys.
I've reached a state of confusion reading about OTA-updates, TWRP and root. My question question is this:
I installed TWRP, flashed the verity opt encryption kernel and rooted my G930F. Everything works and all is good. But with the new Chainfire AUTO-ROOT (is it X.72?) OTA-updates has been disabled.
I'm confused about the reason for this. Does this mean that I risk bricking my phone if I at some point in timez deside to flash stock rom via ODIN? Or will this just replace TWRP with original recovery and overwrite root?
Sorry for my noob-mind. I'm new to Samsung devices.
Best regards.
If you flash stock rom via Odin TWRP will be deleted and stock recovery will be installed. You will also lose root privileges. Make sure you have a backup before flashing stock via Odin. Once restored stock rom via odin follow same steps you took the first time you rooted your phone.
