But needs root also, so I will root first , but before that I want to take a backup from my stock rom without root , and when I went to my phone ClockworkMod recovery I did not find the Backup and restore option,! may be only after the rooting? How I Can do a backup to use it to revert to first state?

you cant, you would need to download the original firmware to flash it to stock, you might try one of the backup tool in the market but a full nandroid backup you cant do unless rooted

Ok I have a root now ,
when I rebooted my note to recovery I get this : Android system recovery <3e>
It looks like CWM but has no backup and restore options and thats why Iam confused
How I can get the CWM I used to use with my HTC Sensation
It looks like you only did root when what you wanted was root + CWM.
Go back to Dr.Ketan's guide and look at the procedure below this line that is in the first post:
-----------------------------------------Forget all Above and follow simple Step below------------------------------
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My summary of your best options:
Follow from Step 2 and use the already-rooted.bat file
OR
The better (in my opinion) way:
Purchase Mobile Odin Pro(MOP) from the market and go get the CF Root Kernel that matches your firmware to get CWM. Just put the Kernel on your sdcard and run MOP, make sure EverRoot and all injections are checked, select file, find kernel, flash. Done.
MOP has also enabled us to retain root when flashing stock firmware updates by using the EverRoot and injections options, however you will lose most CWM functions when this is done. To regain CWM, you simply follow the same steps as above to update to a matching CF Root Kernel.
Have fun, and be sure to hit the thanks button for Ketan and Chainfire!
Dear beestee,
So: I have Kernel KK2 - Download This - and Extract
then : I am Already Rooted - Execute "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions
is there any side effects ? like format ot can not Upgrade via OTA or else?
Is there any thing need to be packed up first? like the original kernel if this method will change it
Nothin side effect, you can upgrade over OTA, BUT If you update over OTA/kies, you will lose Root.
So you have to use CWM or Mobile odin to update newer ROM

Ok I done it and it working, but I found that CWM is a program now you can access from phone not like in HTC where you must inter bootloader and MAGLDR to inter CWM
I can make the backup and restore from inside the program - right?
You can get it with entering recovery too, you have to press Home + Vol UP + Power to enter in recovery mode.
you can simply do it with inside app - restart in recovery
when you give command to backup, it will restart and auto enter in recovery mode and finish it

Help, my Note is stuck on the boot logo after trying to install a custom rom.
I have tried several roms now and non of them pass the boot screen. Getting a little scared now.
Here are the steps I have taken. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
Stock rom
Root and install clockwork mod
nandroid backup
flash abyss kernal
wipe data
wipe cache
install custom rom
stuck on boot logo
I have just tried restoring the nandroid backup and the same thing happens... stuck on boot logo
Have I bricked the phone?
I can still access clockwork if that's any help.
I'm trying a restore via pc odin now.
Not got much hope though, seems to be stuck. The bar doesn't move anymore :'(
Hope an expert will assist.
What stock rom are you on, is it ics? If so nandroid backups and restores are dangerous on stock kernel.
Try flashing stock gb with pc Odin and go from there. If it fails, post at what point ie factory.fs.

I might have flashed Abyss while on temp. Can't really remember.
What do I do now?
Anything else I can try?
Get Amazon to replace it?
Edit: I can't seem to get into clockwork recovery anymore. It just says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
But I can get into the 'downloading' mode.
Help.
Wipes using Temp CWM.zip will result in brick
''Odin just stops at a certain point; yes it's at factory.fs''
that means you have bricked your phone.
So what can I do now?
Return to Samsung/Amazon?
Will they know that it was my fault?
Warranty
Go to recovery mode and check whether its showing binary counter 1 or above, ''Staus'' Official or Custom
If binary count is 0 and status is official you will get warranty
tell service center people that while updating new update via ota , your phone bricked
deleted
Flash GB
just pull out the battery. wait for 10 secs.. reinsert. go back to download mode..
use odin 1.85 and just select the tar.md5 fine in pda section..
Flash Gingerbread rom.

I will try that in the next 20 mins once the stock rom downloads.
To stop this happening again, could someone please, please, please post some noob friendly instructions on how I should flash a custom rom from stock.
I know someone might say 'just google it' or 'there are plenty of guides out there', but I was sure I had the steps nailed down otherwise I wouldn't have tried it.
It would be very helpful.
Especially to see exactly where I went wrong.
Anyway, thanks for all the info.

Yeah, I'm getting the stock GB (UK) rom from there.
Taking a while as a free user.
Thanks.
My Way of root + cwm (i have checked this in ICS only )
1. flashing safe kernels like hydracore 5.4 or Philz kernel 2.7 using PC odin
2. reboot
3. now you have root + CMW
4. open super su / superuse app
5. check for root access using Root Checker
6. Flash Supersu.zip in CMW if experience any root issues
7. now will be having stock ics with safe kernel and cwm.

Sorry, want to be as clear as possible.
Flashing Any Custom Roms
1. Flash Any Safe Kernel and reboot to recovery
2. do all 3 wipes (wipe data/factory, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache)
3. Flash custom rom.zip
4. reboot
5. enjoy new custom rom
@ anoopva
Thank you for all your valuable info.
I may put it to use if I have the courage to risk a replacement phone.
Will update thread shortly on how flashing to GB goes.
I won't hold my breath.
You won't be able to flash a ROM anymore. Odin will get stuck. DO NOT attempt to flash a custom kernel through PC Odin. It will RAISE your flash counter and then it will be obvious that you have messed with your phone, so warranty will be voided! There is another way to get recovery, just wait.....

Yes, just found that it got stuck.
Got further than with the stock ICS rom.
So do I have any options other than to return the phone?

I assume I attempted the root method built for the non-4G model. What can I do to fix it? I'm tapped out.. I've been searching for hours. I repeatedly get FAILED.
I would say no, you don't have a paper weight. As long as you can boot to download mode you should be able to flash a rom of some sort to get you booted back up again.

Try to restore with kies in recovery mode
Or just flash in cwm via Odin and pop in an external SD card with a ROM on it and flash away

You really need to read the guides before flashing anything to your device. Goto the dev section and goto my sticky backup guide and the part you need is near the bottom of the first post.
Download and flash the param binary in odin. Then flash a stock firmware. That should revive your device but you should be able to boot again after just flashing the param binary.

Hello there, i suppose you use the root package which is not meant for the 4g-model. I also had flash a non 4g root package on my s3 lte when i first wanted to root my phone and everything was still alright. I can access all my apps. So if your phone can only go to download mode then i suggest you flash clockworkmod recovery then download any rom(custom roms or stock rom) on your com. Once download finished plug your phone into the computer and drag the files in. After that boot into cwm and wipe date/factory reset. maybe wipe cache partition (optional). Then chose install zip from sd card , chose zip from sd card then flash the rom. (I suggest you flash custom rom asyour flash counter would have increased when you flash the ''CF-Root-SGS3-v6.0'' so that you would be rooted so you can use trangle away to clear your flash counter then you can revert back to stock rom if you want.
I was trying to install TWRP on my Note 5 using odin and everything worked perfectly. I even got the green "PASS" icon. But when it rebooted, I turned off the phone to boot into TWRP using Home+Power+Vol Up, and I got a installing system updates icon, then a fallen android bot with a yellow cross sign on top, and then it loaded into default android recovery, not TWRP. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!!
This happend to me too. What you need to do is to flash a custom kernel for your device because you installed a custom recovery and what happens is that that the stock kernel stops working or it gets erased, but the fix for the problem is flashing a custom kernel.

I can't flash it through custom recovery because I can't get to it
But before you flash the TWRP again to your device and the kernel you need to download the official firmware for your Note 5 because it seems that you messed up real bad with you phone.
Just google official firmware N9208 and download it to then flash it through ODIN in download mode, then after installing the Firmware boot up the phone and set it up, after that you go to Developers Mode and enable OEM and USB Debugging, after that you download the kernel i provided above for your N9208 IN YOUR PHONE. Afterwards, go to Download Mode and flash TWRP through ODIN in your phone and then boot up the recovery and flash the kernel that is in thr internal storage of your phone in the Download folder. Now the phone should br rooted. If you still didn't understand the instructions then look up this video https://youtu.be/We6OUJvzve0
hope it works for you ?

I think you need a custom recovery installed such as TWRP to disable dm-verity, but don't quote me on it.

I think your problem is that you're not on the stock rom and you're trying to use the stock recovery... dm_verity goes hand in hand with the official rom, you can see this if you go into download mode, you would see binary would say something like "samsung official" system status would say something like "original" or "official". You can find this in smart switch > more > emergency software recovery and initialization > device initialization.
Why is using TWRP not possible? Please elaborate, what rom are you running? I think 3rd party recovery is necessary to bypass this issue in all cases when using unofficial rom.
I would suggest initializing your device via smart switch, make sure to back up everything if you can as it will be lost, however, I think that it should resolve the issue entirely. Initialization if you can't boot into stock rom, you will need to enter download mode and in smart switch type the model number and then the serial number, it should initiate then.
You could try waiting for someone who knows their stuff, but initialization via smart switch (not just the image pulled from sammobile which leaves some files out) is probably the way to go, IMO. I'm just a novice, but I'm the only one that's replied, so hopefully some others can chime in and say if I'm giving you bad advice.

You will always fail dm-verity in stock recovery on a modified device.
It's pointless trying to OTA on a modified device. It will fail.
To update you need to flash the stock firmware with odin in DOWNLOAD mode not RECOVERY.

Then there's nothing you can do. You either need root, twrp or odin.
I have a similar problem, dm+verity verification failed in stock recovery but I have not rooted or installed any other firmware.
So my questions are
1. Has someone else installed it without my knowledge?
2. Has someone installed something through adb sideload without my knowledge?
3. Have i deleted something I shouldnt have?
4. When i go into stock recovery and before i choose what to such as "recovery logs" if i hold down the home/finger print button for about 2 secs the highlighted colour changes from blue to green, is this normal?
Thanks in advance
