[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?

For OTAs - no, these will probably not work.

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.

Please, update the LGB recovery. I think that's the kernel.

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.

Thank you.

is it possible flash a rom without s-off?

as the title, my phone couldnt get into adb to get s-off
You need either HTC Dev unlock
or revolutionary s off to flash a custom ROM
That's the simple explanation

Sent from my Nexus 7
If you're unlocked through htc dev, just flash custom recovery (4ext touch recommended) and you can flash custom roms after that.
Just make sure to flash boot.img through adb as said by mark. Always do this after flashing new rom when you are s-on.

Every time you flash a new ROM or kernel you need to open up the zip of the new ROM and fast boot flash it, otherwise it probably wont boot unless there is a similar kernel already

If you use the app to install recovery, make sure to extract the recovery.img file in the downloaded zip and manually flash that through fastboot. Only have to do this while s-on

Once unlocked, can't relock & get OTA?

Hello,
So I just want to clear something out. So once I have used a the Asus app and unlocked my tab, I CANNOT relock it again? Also once unlocked, I can no longer receive OTA from Asus and therefore have to download it manually?
I just need clarification on these two questions. Thank you.

No re lock, no ota

Yep, it's a one-way process.
But we can still download the official update from Asus and flash as long as we are on stock recovery, correct? And if i'm not mistaken, we can always revert back to stock recovery. Just can't go back to a locked bootloader.
Damn if I knew this I wouldn't have... oh well. Thanks for the answers!

Another problem: I up had installed cwm recovery and cromi Rom from here. I wanted to revert back to stock firmware, so I downloaded the zip from asus site and put in root directory, however when I flash the zip with CWM it always gives me status 6 error. I searched this and I tried a possible solution using notepad++ but didn't work. Can anyone help me why I can't install stock firmware without getting the status 6 error?

You can't flash the stock firmware from cwm. You need to fastboot flash the stock recovery from droid basement and then extract the stock zip onto your internal card and boot that way. Alternatively you could just flash my stock ROM in the Dev section.
Why do you want to go back to pure stock?
Wow lol I spend hours trying to flash through CWM. thank u very much sdbags. I wanted to revert back because, lol my WiFi was acting wiered with the ROM. some apps like "showbox" worked fine with stock, but with cromi it would go very slow and take really long to load a list of movies or shows. I Donni maybe wifi drivers are not same on cromi? Anyway, thanks for the stock installation solution.

The reason I think why it not flashing because ur cromi Rom is 4.3 and the stock firmware is also 4.3 so I guess tablet thinks it's not new so it does t flash it.

Why don't you just flash my Asus Stock ROM first? It's 99.9% the Asus files - just with ROOT added.
I haven't tested the following but if you MUST flash the Asus Stock from a PC you would do it using the following. I won't take any responsibility if you brick and you do this at your own risk. Personally if I were you I wouldn't do it this way as flashing my Asus Stock will do EXACTLY the same. Note that the below instructions are for 4.2.2. Be warned - it will erase the bootloader so if it doesn't flash properly you will brick permanently.

Edit, remember, the stock recovery shows a dead android. Just hit vol up to get into it.
