[ODIN][N8013]Stock Kernel and Recovery Images

This post will contain N8013 stock kernel and recovery images. For UEALGB these were dumped from a device that was rooted using the "root injection of /system" approach. For UEALH2, they are simply extracted from the Kies dump at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706 so that you can get a stock kernel or recovery without downloading 1GB of files.
If you flash any of these using Odin, they should not trigger your flash counter. Note that for some reason, flashing these in Heimdall will trigger the counter (unlike Heimdall on most other devices).

Pardon for some ignorance. What should be the steps to follow in order to root from an updated to latest OTA update stock Rom on a 32gb USA version? Do I need to flash the kernel, or just recovery should be ok?

Why don't u ask this in the root thread?
Here is what you should do:
Root Via CWM (method 2 in the root thread)
1. Download and put the superuserzip on your internal memory on your device
2. In odin uncheck auto reboot and load the cwmrecovery tar in the pda slot
3. Start odin
4. Once finished boot directly into clockwork (volume up and power til the samsung screen then let go of power while holding volume up)
5. Use the volume rockers to scroll in clockwork cause its finicky and flash the superuser zip you put on your device.
6. reboot
7. Make sure you have root and touch screen and pen works
8. Download goo manager
9. In goo manager hit menu and hit the install recovery script
10. DONE
Have any problems odin back to a stock image and if things go bad flash entropys triangle away kernel and clear your binary count

Any chance you could update the thread to account for the updated kernel for the N8013, that adds support for exFAT?

Hey guys,I just picked up a GT-N8010 -Canadian Wifi version - running LG4 firrmware, will any of these stock recoveries work for me or do I need an LG4 recovery?
Looking to root via cwm then restore stock recovery so I can receive OTA's.

For OTAs - no, these will probably not work.

Ok I downloaded the UEALGB stock recovery tar again and it contains only boot.img. Is the link bad or am I just screwy?

Thanks Entropy, as much as I want to root now I am going to wait for either a stock LG4 recovery or a root injected LG4.

I have the Canadian 8010 model, and installed the prerooted firmware that was provided. It didnt flash right the first time but the second time it did. Everything works great and Im rooted with CWM. The only thing I noticed is that it says I have the 8013 model now which is probably because of the firmware but its not a big deal.

Does anyone have a working UEALGB stock recovery?

Please, update the LGB recovery. I think that's the kernel.
Can I flash the H2 recovery in a LGB rom??
Cheers!

You can't, but you can flash the entire H2 ODIN image from here (about 1GB):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
and not lose your data. You lose root though (which you can get again through the alternate recovery method)

Can we get a kernel and recovery from UEALI3 please.

Can someone dump latest firmware please and pm me.

Anybody have stock recovery for N8010?

N8013 UEALI3 Recovery
Can anyone post the UEALI3 stock recovery? I want to root my Note, but want to root my Note with the CWM method, and go back to stock recovery so I can get OTA updates.
Thank you.

[Q] Help on Android System Recover <3e>

its a seriously annoying bug..
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-n7000,
its a new one.
I just tried to install the custom rom (Paranoid Android 2.+),
so to root my phone i installed the CWM.ZIP file provided in that thread
but when i tried to install it, it shows signature verification failed and it din't install on my phone.
Now my recovery screen shows "Android System Recovery <3e>"
with these options
i.install from sd card
ii.clear cache
iii.clear data
iv.redband test [fota]
and i could not install anything with that..
whatever i install it is shown that "sign verify failed".
Now what should i do to install the custom rom?
Am i stuck in some danger zone ?

I take it you are on stock GB. You can't flash zips from that recovery. Better do some more research before you end up bricking your device. Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20963707 is a good place too start.

Just to add to this, don't use cwm.zip its got issues, more with ics, but still, I'd steer clear of it. Either install a pre rooted gb rom or root the old script method.

Downgrade from ICS to JB

So I received my Razr I today and it already has JB on it
So I was wondering, any chance that I could downgrade it to ICS?
From what I've read on xda and some German forums it did work for some people...
I'm referring to this threat:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184877
So in the end, is it possible or not?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you should definitely be able to do this. You need to install a custom recovery on to your device to start with. I think the ROM Manager app on the Play Store supports your device. If you download it you can flash CWM Recovery onto your device. Then you need the zip file for the ICS stock firmware which can be found easily by Googling it (I've already seen it so it exists). Once you've moved the zip file on to your SD card, boot into recovery and install the zip file and you should be back to ICS stock.

Well I have the files and everything (RSDlite) but from what I've read there might be a problem flashing the fastboot files...

He talked about flashing over CWM and not with RSD-Lite...

But for CWM I need root, for root I need unlocked BL and I don't have it and also don't want to unlock my BL.
So, locked BL JB -->locked BL ICS

Then you must stay with unrooted JB. Downgrade to ICS with RSD is not possible afaik.

How to instal TWRP in rooted phone with CWM?

I'm forgetful and can't remember the procedure I used to install TWRP on my rooted Exhibit which had CWM at the time. I now need to install TWRP on my girlfriend's Exhibit, which is rooted with the stock root (no custom ROM, just rooted) and which already has CWM.
I will copy the TWRP file onto her external SD card. I will then boot into CWM recovery, and flash the TWRP zip file. After I do that, when I reboot the phone, how does the phone now which recovery I want to use? Does TWRP over-write or wipe out the CWM when you flash it? Must I make a selection for my default recovery choice?
I am a dummy and I should remember this stuff, since I already went through this on my phone.
By the way, I am installing AOIP on her phone. I have really liked it on mine, after trying Slimbean and Nexus4 and CM10 etc. Her tired old phone on the rooted stock ROM is giving her fits. So it is time for TWRP and AOIP.

Once you flash it it will overwrite cwm so it will be the only recovery. If you wanna go back to cwm just flash that over twrp.

When you flash a recovery zip it overwrites the recovery partition in your phone. You don't have to choose anything because it will stay TWRP until you flash a different recovery.

[OTA] [KITKAT] For 98.18.94 stock phones

I had my phone download this and then just copied it off. My phones build was 98.18.94. Not sure what the difference between this and 98.30 is. I'm rooted so I haven't installed it but it's here for anyone that wants it. My phone downloaded a different version than I found online. It was version 182.46.10XT907.Verizon.en.US. I don't know what other phone builds it will work with. Either way use at your own discretion.
Here is the update for phones running 98.18.94

Did anybody try it with unlocked bootloader?
Bootloader still unlocked or OTA relock it?

My understand is that it should leave the bootloader unlocked. It will replace the recovery, radio and other system partitions. If you removed anything from the /system/apps folder then I think it will fail/abort install. I've removed some so I need/want to RSD back to stock and then update but if I do then I'll lose root which I use.

Yes, and with SELinux and some other enhancements in KitKat I wouldn't even take a future root for granted.

Posting updates on how to use this thru the stock recovery.
This is how it is supposed to be used:
1 - Flash LATEST stock SBF of JB thru RSD. (Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US)
2 - After RSD flash reboot phone on stock recovery and proceed to install update from SD card, here select the file that is provided at the beginning of the thread.
3 - After this first flash completes, phone is going to reboot in recovery again, to open the menu of this specific recovery, the combo of the buttons is power + vol up.
4 - proceed to install from sd card again and select the same file that you selected on the second step.
5 - Wait for it to finish
6 - Wipe data/factory reset
7 - Select restart system, Phone will restart in KK, enjoy guys.
Keep in mind that you have to follow the explanation at the beggining of the thread or this one, if you dont follow this steps like this, you wont be able to install this update or you wont be able to finish installing the update.

is this the offical KK update?

Yes it is official. Like I posted earlier, its OTA from Verizon.

I doubt it. It's for stock phones. It will need a stock recovery I do believe.

Hmmm..
My razr is stock & rooted, and I have manually removed several bloat apps. If I attempt to this update ota could it cause any harm to my system aside from possible abort/update fail? Will it remove root? Gracias.

It won't install... or its not suppose to.

My understanding is you can retain some root functionality using SuperSU Pro's Survival Mode. I believe you'll still lose R/W capability.
The best approach would be to unlock your bootloader. I've heard some success with custom recovery, though stock recovery would be best bet.

This method did not work for me after i flashed back to 98.30.1 the stock recovery doesnt see the update and i just get the android logo. When i go to software updates the service is unavailable/

my bootloader has unlock. and does it mean I can have root permission after I flash the stock zip package?

OK here it is, black and white and very simple:
Bootloader Locked - NO ROOT, NO CUSTOM RECOVERY.
Bootloader Unlocked - CWM Recovery and FULL ROOT with SuperSu.
That's it, no if ands or buts.
