Uninstal CWM & reset

Hi all, I have a GNote, rooted and CWM instal but I want to clean everything. How to uninstal all those tools, and in the same time get the lastest official ROM (KL8). I'm downloading it from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423514
Should I flash via ODIN with special options ?

download a stock firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/gt-n7000-galaxy-note/ and unzip it in sd card in firmware folder
then flash using cwm using the option flash stock from sd card
then when asked about continuing and lossing root just continue
and after flashing u have a no root and cwm removed and everything as good as new
*it wont reset your settings and data*

Once you flash with KL8, you will lose Root + CWM
now this thread(you have shown) updated with install guide

samsung update ? 404 error ! you talking about
"No, If you dont want to Root then you can flash as per said on OP, (with three files)
Rooted is require only if you want to keep Root intact, in that case you need to use mobile odin"
what does that mean ?

can't get into recovery mode / bootloader [solved]

hi
i did unroot my phone.
did use odin to install cwm, all finished that i want to reboot my phone so i can flash a different rom.
but while pressing "home + power button" the phone freezes after the samsung logo.
the phone is still detectable by odin but no matter what i try or do i can't get it into recover mode.
please help me out.
btw the phone does still function and the download mode also still works

reflash
Your solution is to reflash stock rom. Then you must be rooted in order to have cwm ... :angel:

He's right flash the stock.
But I dont think we need to root the phone to use cwm, you can install it even you arent rooted. But fyi cwm cant be used to root the phone, it must use the stock.

Yeah, possible and good solution would be to flash stock ROM via Odin. And then if you need root, follow StoneBoyTony's method for rooting. (You can find the thread here)
Another option if you like is, after flashing stock ROM, flash CWM recovery and install any Custom ROM like CM7 or MIUI or Emanon etc. Custom ROMs comes pre-rooted, so don't have to worry about root. (But remember, CWM recovery is needed for installing custom ROMs)

True. For using CWM recovery, the phone needn't have to be rooted.
True. CWM recovery can't be used for rooting, stock recovery is preferred.

thx guys for the tips !
just a few questions
1) do i again need an *.ops file while flashing back stock rom thru odin?
2) if i do need the *.ops file can i use the same or does it need to be a different one?
3) what filetype (zip or img) to use for the stock rom and where to put in odin (boot or phone)?

download 1 package firmware put it in the one package section select TASS.ops file .ops file must be tass. connect your phone and flash
a little bit troubleshooting:-
you got stuck at Samsung logo while booting in recovery means you didn't use a proper cwm package or flashing method please check the package
can anyone tell me why cwm cannot be used to root device, it can root device with 100% success and the package also don't need to be signed because of using cwm

You can change it to English, its easy if you followed the icons. I forgot to say it before to have a look at the icons for changing language.
Anyways Click Application icon (Bottom rightmost icon) > Settings (blue Gear-like icon) > Locale & Language (White colored A icon) > Select English from the list.
And, if you plan to get a different "Custom" ROM, make sure you install CWM recovery before. (Search in Development section for CWM recovery flashable via Odin)

i already try Easy rooting toolkit and after my note reboted i see that nathing happand
from what i undestand i need to use "Get root access on Newer GB ROM (non rootable directly)" ?
if yes so
"fter updating to newer ROM, you can flash CF root kernel from here
according to newer ROM kernel. And Flash it using Mobile Odin OR CWM."
my kernal is not listed there ,can i use LB1 ?

anyone. ..?
anyone pls

Could you post the details of your device? Go to Settings and About phone.

Your ROM is non rootable
You have following option
-Flash Pre rooted ROM, and update to existing ROM with Mobile Odin / CWM
-If you want to switch to ICS, flash it after wiping device and Root it.
Guide you can find on same link sahil have suggets you.

He wrote earlier LB2 kernel thats enough to decide.

about my option
about my option
1)after i flash pre rooted rom how can i update to my rom ?
2)what is the option to wipe ? it delete the all device ? becouse if yes how can i put custom ics,if there is nothing on the device ?

1. After flashing Pre rooted ROM you will have CWN
How to use is depend on which custom ROM you want to flash
For stock ROM this is the way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20963730&postcount=3
2.Don't understand what you want to ask

about option number 2
the second opion seem to bee more easy than the first one
my Q is : the option wipe is like format in computer ? and using after that with odin is like to boot with bootable cd with os in computer ?

No, Format in computer requires to Install OS.
Here wipes means your device will reboot to factory set. Means everything will be there except stuff you have installed manually.

IMHO=In My Humble Opinion (just in case you were wondering what it meant)
Follow dr.Ketan's advice,a1shay1.
First root successfully,play around with simple things(stock,safe stuff) then think of modding.
Its very very easy,(believe me) to turn your Note a simple,humble paperweight.

suggest
A friend just suggest to root with
I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar
And then to put the stunner from sd card

stil not good

For future reference, don't perform any wipes under re packed kernel, they have the bug. There shouldn't be a need for these re packed packages anymore steer clear of them. Don't do wipes or nandroid restores under ics kernels AT ANY TIME or you risk bricking.

You should try to put your Note in download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin.
You must flash the PIT file to repartition your phone's storage, chose the right one (16 or 32 Gb).
I am almost sure that your phone is soft bricked and it is recoverable.
If it don't work, thant mean that your have bad blocks in your phone's storage. Have you wiped your note while under ICS android ?

what rom were you on? if JB, try a factory reset.

You shouldn't be doing a reset on ICS stock at all.. Install Philz kernel for ICS and wipe data and cache.. When flashing a stock rom using odin, is it a success?

So you never installed any rom or a custom kernel?

I followed the instructions provided by the manual ... after step 2 I get imei but after step 3 it get empty again.
Signals do come after step 2 but when I try to make some call it says "Not registered on network".
Looking forward to your reply.

I currently have an imei but it is some random number starting with "004999" and I do get signals but cant make a call .. Do you know if there is some hope for me or not .. and what else I can try.

This is the developer imei. You may be able to make calls of you try a GB rom. Or there is one rom by ThaiDai which had some work around built into it. I don't know which one.
Else the site I mentioned earlier has contact info of cvxcvx. He can fix your phone remotely but by charging about 10 euros.

Need help for a bricked N7000
Hi guys,Im a complete newbie to the whole custom rom scenario. Yet, after being fed up of touchwiz on my N7000 i decided i wanted to taste some KitKat on my phone. After seeing many videos with positive reviews I thought it would be a rather easy process. But somehow I seem to have made a mistake and now my phone is stuck on Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 logo. I cant get into recovery mode as suggested on most places. As of now I only have access to the download mode but dont know what to do with it.
Here's what I tried doing :
1) I was on stock OS, and these are my specifics : Galaxy Note N-7000 running JB 4.1.2
Baseband version : N7000DDLS6
Kernel version: 3.3.31-906407
BUild number:JZO54K.N7000DDLSC
2) As I was following the procedure from Omnirom's official website, I first rooted my phone using Framaroot's single click root app. This gave me SuperSU app.
3) Then I tried installing TWRP recovery (recommended by Omni) but they dont support the N7000. I read a few other tutorials where it was stated the CWM recovery and that too Philz CWM recovery is the best to go with. Apparently it is just stock kernel with CWM recovery. Since the latest one(philz_touch_6.07.9-n7000) was not being installed, I installed the one before that which worked (PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.11.2-signed).
4) I even installed the ROM Manager as per the tutorial. However, uptil now I could access recovery mode ( Vol UP+Home+Power) and i saw the touch enabled philz recovery mode once. Then i did system reboot.
5)After reboot, this is where I did a mistake in my opinion. I opened ROM Manger and clicked on "open in recovery mode" option. Since then the phone is stuck on the Galaxy Note N7000 logo. Please help me revive the phone. Thanks in advance. Again, Im doing this for the first time and most terms are new to me. So please explain the procedure as other tutorials are not very clear.

You missed on reading the most important instructions.
Rom manager will not work with note. Recovery is built into the kernel on note and not as a separate partition.
Try harder to get into recovery mode. If you still can't, get the ddlsc Philz kernel tar version. Flash it using Odin. Then power off the device and boot into recovery. Then flash raw kernel. Reboot recovery. Flash omni and other required zips.

How do I do i install the kernel using ODIN? I can only access download mode and nothing else. I cant access recovery mode. Please help.

PhilZ kernel has two versions, zip and tar. Use the tar version to flash via odin.

Dualboot for i9295[a touch of Freedom] :)

IMPORTANT! This is NOT my work, all credits to the Genius chenxiaolong who made this available for all Galaxy S4 Variants
See original Thread [PATCHER][APP] Dual boot any ROM on all Galaxy S4 variants!
The Story:
I don´t like Touchwiz very much but for some Reasons I always have to come back to it. Maybe the Camera, sometimes the Allshare Features for Smart TV...Everybody has his Reasons to use/need it sometimes...
Untill today, I had to backup/restore between Sammy and Cyanogenmod a lot, It bugged me but I thought there is no choice till I found this Thread. First, I was a little afraid because there is a lot of Information in the OP and some stuff to do but then I thought, what may happen? Bootloop, Odin, Hard-brick,naaah, what´s Life without a little risk?
So I tried and it works !
If you want to do what I did, just follow these (very easy) Instructions.
Think about what your doing. This is your very own Device with your very own contract so please proceed at your very own risk! I have tested this exactly the way it is written down here and it worked. So if something goes wrong on your Device, don´t blame me or the Developer of this fantastic App!!
...Make sure your an owner of the international Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (i9295) (if not, tell me what happened )
...If your on a stock Sammy Rom, make sure that you are rooted and have a custom recovery installed...
...Also, you will need to delete some System Apps to free Space for secondary Rom but please don´t ask me which. There is enough Bloatware inside but a good start for me always is "HRS Hotels", "Google Maps/Mail/Plus" and so on...
1. Download the 3 Files from chenxiaolong´s Thread (not linked but you will find it...remember, this is NOT my work!)
- Dualboot Patcher
- Dualboot Switcher App
- Dualbootutility.zip
2. Download the custom Rom of your choice. In my case, I used
cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx.zip
and official Gapps
3. Install the Dualboot Patcher and run it on your Device
4. Follow its Instructions to patch your custom Rom and, if needed, also the Gapps
5. Install the Dualboot Switcher App and run it

I have uploaded patched Gapps and a patched Cyanogenmod Rom here. Feel free to use
cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx_dualboot.zip
and
gapps-jb-20130813-signed_dualboot.zip

At what point to flash the 2nd ROM?
Hi,
To me the instructions are not very clear. At what point do I install/flash the 2nd rom. For example if my current ROM is CM10.2, how do I get a second rom (sammy) onto the phone?
Can you be a bit more precise on the steps?
Thank you very much

Hey,
if you want to flash a Sammy Rom as 2nd Rom you need to have it as a flashable zip File (you will find them here in this Forum)
This should be the 2nd step in OP then, so just continue with the list
But don´t forget to delete some Files from /system of the Stock Rom to have enough Space for both Rom inside the /system Folder of your Device.
I hope that helped ?

But i won't find a flashable zip of latest I9295XXUBML3 stock firmware in here? or can i make it myself (with Aroma)?

@d8389 posted mk3 here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45757227) and there are no big changes in ml3 I think.
But, why not flash Sammy as primary with Odin, makes things way easier

Sorry for not understanding:
I would love to do precisely that, but that way i will loose root and have to re-install CMW-recovery won't I?
I will try to figure out the steps to take:
1. Reboot into CWM and install DualBootUtilities
2 .Set CM10.2 somehow as Secondary ROM?
3. Flash your already patched CM10.2 ROM and GAPPS on 2nd ROM
4. Somehow set 1st ROM active and connect in Download-mode to ODin and Flash I9295XXUBML3.tar.md5 ?
Going in the right direction ??

Let's say you've set up a Sammy Rom completely including root and cwm recovery. The normal way as usual.
If you downloaded the already patched Files, place them somewhere you can find em.
Now, install and start the "Dualboot Switcher" app and set first Rom as primary.
Boot into Recovery.
Install the patched Files the normal way.
Reboot, phone will boot into second Rom now by default.
Once, second Rom has booted, install and run the "Dualboot Switcher" app again. Inside the App you can now choose which Rom to boot, then push reboot Button inside the App.
Done
I hope that helped but feel free to ask!

Thanks again for helping me/us...great!
Started with:
Rooted S4Active with cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx, gapps-jb-20130813-signed and CWM installed.
1. Installed SwitcherApp in CM10.2
2. Reboot into recovery and flashed cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx_dualboot and gapps-jb-20130813-signed_dualboot
- as you stated it reboots into 1st ROM and makes CM10.2 2nd
3. Rebooted into Download Mode
3. Used Odin 3.09 to install I9295XXUBML3_I9295PHNBML2_I9295XXUBML3_HOME.tar.md5
4. Rebooting now.... :fingers-crossed: I think it did not work. Looking at the Samsung glowing logo for some time now.
* This way i dit not remove files from /system so that could be the problem?

No, this way Odin will flash Sammy Rom and everything will be gone.
Now, after you flashed Sammy successfully, flash cwm recovery, root, delete some bloat and then (!) work down the list in OP
Then it will work. Without offense, you need to read more careful

LOL i think that won't work cause i put it on my Ext-SD so i first have to install the right CWM to access my Nandroid
But i will be fine, serious
I am just waiting for my apps to re-install...so i wondered...when i have 2 roms/dualboot, will the Samsung Update show me an update in the stock rom? So, like kitkat is coming next month? #ProbablyNot

Well... Back to single boot CM10.2 for now...
Didn't work out for me but I'll be back for a 2nd attempt soon.
Meanwhile: SammyStock won't update in dual boot setup (obvious)
Had to disable Knox along the way to be able to install some apps that required root privileges.

Before getting in the same mess as before:Using Nandroid restore will destroy the dualboot setup?
So titaniumbackup-restore is the way to go?
I am preparing a flasable zip of the latset firmware but i am not 100% sure it is working (still have some reading to do :laugh
Please correct me if i am wrong:
Stock-SammyROM (latest firmware: I9295XXUBML3_I9295PHNBML2_I9295XXUBML3_HOME )
1. Root with Odin
2. CWM-recovery with Odin
3. Enable Developer-mode
4. Disable Knox
5. Enable USB-debugging
6. Enable 'Install unverfied apps' and disable Google unverified app install warning
7. (can't find ADB-settings in this ROM?)
8. Install Dual Boot Switcher app
9. Set kernel 1st ROM as primary kernel
10. Remove some bloatware
11. Reboot into recovery and flash patched zip files (CM10.2 + GAPPS)
12. Reboot and install Dual Boot Switcher app in 2nd ROM
13. Install Titanium backup and restore apps+app-data

Yes, you are very close
I´d do it this way :
After a fresh install of your Sammy Stock Rom, let it set up. Then, turn of Device and restart into Download Mode
1. Root with Odin Flash this recovery with Odin
2. CWM-recovery with Odin After flash, Device will reboot, press Vol Up + Home, it will go into recovery
2a. Flash this from Recovery
2b. Reboot Device and Click on the SU App. Let it do it´s job (it will install stuff and disable KNOX)
3. Enable Developer-mode not needed
4. Disable Knox is done by SU App
5. Enable USB-debugging not needed
6. Enable 'Install unverfied apps' and disable Google unverified app install warning
7. (can't find ADB-settings in this ROM?) not there in stock and not needed
8. Install Dual Boot Switcher app
9. Set kernel 1st ROM as primary kernel
10. Remove some bloatware
10a. Apps like Google+, Maps, Samsung Bloat are good candidates for this as they are downloadable from store later or not needed at all
11. Reboot into recovery and flash patched zip files (CM10.2 + GAPPS)
12. Reboot and install Dual Boot Switcher app in 2nd ROM
13. Install Titanium backup and restore apps+app-data
Yes, there should be no Problems with TB even tho you´ll get warnings about SU. It works.
Good luck

Flashing in Step 1 and 2a the same file? Are you sure?
