Running a G800F on stock lollipop ROM, but rooted with Odin, so I can't get the OTA update.
Can I download a ROM and flash it through Odin without losing my data (apps, photos, etc) on the phone?
Try using Samsung Smart switch with the updates: there are a lot of videos on YouTube about it

Odin flashing question
I have used Odin to flash kernels but no roms.
I understand how to use it can't easily find Info on how to flash a stock rom without wiping my apps, data etc. To mimic a kies update. I'm moving from jpy to jp5 or 7 so don't expect to require a factory reset.
O heard about a high level firmware is this the case? Or will any Odin update keep settings if a repartition is not selected
Stock JPY, Insanity SpeedMod OC-1200Mhz/UV, ext4, JVE gingerbread Modem,
Afternoon all,
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 and the about phone screen shows:
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: N7000XXLA4
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341 [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
First things first, I would like to root and I've looked around XDA / Google and found a couple of different methods. Which one is best and ensures I lose no functionality?
Many thanks all.
Rob
If you don't want to spend time downgrading - then again upgrading, simply flash rooted stock rom from pc odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
So I download this the file I've highlighted in the .png attachment.
Then use ODIN to flash the 3 files on the phone and then I have fully rooted phone with stock ROM and kernel?
Yep, easy as that. After that you can flash Chainfire's CF Kernel for that rom (so you'll need the LA6 version of that kernel) if you want CWM Recovery and flash custom roms. If you just want root then you're done after you flashed with Odin.
may i know, it after rooted SGN, will i be able to upgrade to ICS via kies, or i have to flash back to stock GB.
You probably will lose root if you use kies.
use the zerg rush method, as flashing with odin will rise your binary counter and you will lose your warrenty, and i heard that if you flash any rom with odin even if it was stock one, you will lose the ability to update your phone from kies, for me updating from kies is useless as it will wipe your date and will take so long, i flash stock roms using odin because its faster and doesn't wipe your data
According to the thread where I downloaded the ROM from above I didn't need to worry about the flash counter. Can anyone confirm if this goes up or not?

Using a complete stock ROM will not increase your counter..also using Mobile Odin and recovery to flash won't..
The only thing that will increase your counter is flashing custom ROM and kernel through PC Odin..
So I can assume that because I used PC ODIN to do this update I've increased the flash count by one?
Is there any way to reset it?
Not if you flashed stock samsung rom.
To reset triangle and custom binary count,
Wait for official ICS then use Triangle Away.
Is there any way to get back stock recovery from TWRP except flashing the whole stock firmware via ODIN
I recently read about this in the SII Skyrocket forum.
Some people have complained that having custom recovery restrains you from installing OTA/Kies updates.
So someone in the forum created a recovery.tar file
Another question is that does updating the firmware via ODIN wipe your data??

If you flash firmware with Odin but dont do factory reset, Odin just reflashes your system, removes root and brings back stock recovery. But DONT wipes your data, apps ant etc.

You kidding me?
Odin formats everything.
I do not respond to tech support via PM
Well, I tried flashing CWM on my T mobile Note 4, and it never worked. I used Odin, and while it said it worked, I still get stock recovery. HOWEVER, when I check for OTAs, my phone says it has been modified and I need to use Kies. I'm on stock firmware and haven't even rooted, so wold it be posible, much less safe, to update via Kies when lollipop rolls out? I haven't deleted any stock apps, and as previously stated am on stock firmware and recovery and am
not rooted.
I'm not that familiar with Kies, but for sure you will be able to update by Odin flashing the Lollipop firmware once it gets posted. Your CWM flashing may have worked but then the recovery got overwritten at boot by the stock ROM. But unfortunately that would trip your Knox flag and give you 'modified' status. If you try flashing CWM again, uncheck auto reboot, and then try booting straight into recovery.

questions:
1.) How did you flash CWM without root? If you attempted this with ODIN you tripped KNOX and therfore voided the warranty and the abilitity to get an OTA.
2.) If you already have ODIN installed and know how to flash with it why bother with Kies and/or OTA's? You can use ODIN to flash the update as soon as it is posted only. With this dev community it shouldn't take too long.
Also if you are looking to use a custom recovery you should work with TWRP. Technically CWM and Philztouch are no longer being support. Finally if you already tripped KNOX by trying to flash custom recovery, why not just root the thing now. There really isn't much of a different now.

This is how you root:

If you want an update later you can always odin to stock + factory reset.
My phone won't boot past the att logo screen. I have been running a custom mi9 jellybean rom since early last year. I decided to upgrade to jellybean finally. I wiped and flashed carl1961's deodexed rom and super su both of which were successful. I tried flashing the oc1patch firmware that was next in his instructions but it failed. I decided to continue on with the next instruction and flash the oc2 firmware file, it was successful. Then I rebooted from SS reboot menu. The "galaxy note 3" screen comes on and hangs for a while goes away and comes back on for a while. Then the att logo screens starts and freezes. That's as far as it gets. I'd like to either restore my backup from SS or upgrade to LP w/root. Do I use Walter whites Odin files to get LP? Or Odin to KK, root, then upgrade to LP? TIA!!!

The best way to upgrade to OC1/OC2 (atleast with the least probabilities of a bootloop occurring) is to first flash NC2 wipe tars via odin and then flashing carl1961's OC2 deodexed rom (with SuerSU).
1. Download the NC2 odin flashable files from https://mega.nz/#F!wg5wRQrQ!vR7a6pze9dgSWjbaRSyhWA (Caution: These are wipe tars and will format the phone's internal storage, so backup everything from the phone memory). Flash them via odin, and your phone will boot into NC2 KitKat.
2. Once the phone boots up and you've completed the crappy startup questions, install towelroot (https://towelroot.com/) and root your phone. Install supersu and busybox from playstore and install them. Download and install safestrap (Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03.apk)
3. Download carl1961's rom and a few other things:
The rom (https://mega.nz/#!qc8QHI6T!_8x88BL-ivTM0yj5uhbmNITernym8HMr2VKJJZB9JeE)
OC1 Patch Firmware (https://mega.nz/#!fQ8nSbbA!qzw9IzKf6BzwY0IOHGjGFOmV1QgWoYv-AV4NsjyuiT8)
OC2 Patch Firmware (https://mega.nz/#!iF8xBS6Z!XQNgLscWM5SOOddlkunQYBCQp2QO03raEMN91sF1g34)
Xposed Framework (optional) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3454433&d=1440761913)
SuperSU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3478515&d=1442612185)
Optional OC2 fixes/addons from http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/development/8-24-15-t3185574
4. Boot into safestrap and follow the following steps:-
Factory wipe
Flash ROM
Flash SuperSU
Flash Xposed (optional)
Flash OC1 patch firmware
Flash OC2 patch firmware
Flash OC2 Addons/Fixes
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot

For backing up your internal memory, you need to dirty flash with a stock firmware (ie. a non-wipe odin flashable NC2 tar). Download it from here: bit.ly/1q98wGU, and flash this in the AP section of Odin, keep all others (BL, CP and CSC) empty. This way, the flashing won't erase the phone's internal memory. Although I think it factory resets and erases your apps (and their data), but doesn't erase user downloaded/added data.
