Thank you for your fast reply
and you right...i have No knowledge about this kind of stuff and i have read everything you gave me already...
but still there is questions...those guides doesn't tell you what do you need to do and what not to do from the very first step
unlike HTC HD2 tutorials for rom flashing that have everything...
so if you have some more guides that you can recommend for me...ill be glad
and for my second question: "Do i need to unlock my phone to flash a new ROM?"
what do you mean by "Depends"?

[Q] Two questions about Rooting and Warranty.

Hello All!
I've been around for a while but this is my first time posting in xda.
I just got my Galaxy Note and I'd like to root it and install custom roms on it. My questions are the following:
1 Does my warranty gets restored once i revert to stock ROM and baseband after rooting? or there is no way to get it back after root?
2 If warranty can be restored, how do I backup my stock ROM and everything to revert to it when needed? I couldn't find the stock ROM for my country in the sticky thread of stock ROMs

Q How to lock bootloader

You want to unroot... which you don't need to to upgrade! Use Odin! Btw, do some reading around here! READ READ READ! AND USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!

but when my phone operator want to make an over air update it download then it say cant upgrade because unlocked bootloader.
I have only root it with abyss kernel. for some apps.

OTA needs stock recovery so stock kernel .. you need to flash stock rom using pc odin or mobile odin to install OTA updates

ok.

[Q] Changing from CM10.1 to stock rom?

Hello
Just upgraded to a Note II and have sold my Note 1. The new owner wants stock rom, root and unlocked bootloader. Is there any guide for reverting? I could probably just flash a stock rom trough CWM?
I'm just a little concerned about the earlier problems with breaking the storage part on the phone.

you can use odin to flash a stock rom.
use this tutorial

What ROM version are you on? Unless you're on a intact NB4 ROM, you can't flash the NC2 update, it will fail the file checks.
If you're on MLG or one of the JB ROMs you can just flash back to one of those if your base installation is damaged/corrupted. This is assuming your bootloader isn't A3. If it is, you can only flash the MLG ROM with the A3 bootloader, or have your phone completely restored by the Samsung people at Best Buy.
If your base installation is damaged/corrupted/etc... on bootloader A3 you will not be able to flash the update and you will need to either warranty the phone or go to Best Buy and have them do a full restore on the phone.
