I will probably reroot and run a custom rom after warranty runs out. who are in search of a more direct and straightforward reset without complicating the steps. Perhaps someone or some devs can explain this bit of mystery to me, and perhaps others. Next- Why wont factory reset work to clear the flash counter, modified status to normal with full wipe? and as much as I admire mr Cortex method to full wipe ( 10 min process.) is that repetitive process of wiping, triangle away,unroot, reroot etc.necessary? I had a rooted samsung epic 4g touch before this note 2 and All I did to return phone to stock firmware for trade in was factory reset! yes- it was Not jellybean, was Gingerbread android. I did install stock recovery via same toolbox, But How do I tell if it is stock vs twrp? I dont see where/how to check if it succeeded. So due to concern for warranty being voided, I'd like to return to stock: ( Heres the stupid question part). Having rooted the Note 2 att with mr skips toolbox, I then noticed a few days later the modified status. I switched USB ports and now it works apparently.Īlso something people that do this in the future should know: if you unplug the cable, it just gives you the error message saying that it couldn't find it which shouldn't cause any trouble. Hooray! it's now actually installing it and i didn't mistake it for downloading this time. Post added at 08:03 PM - Previous post was at 07:10 PM. I got into emergency recovery mode on purpose but expected to get out of it. I've had it rooted using CF-root and i did a firmware update to trigger emergency recovery mode. What can i do now? Should i just pull the plug out of it and try again? Will this not break anything? Now i've got two problems, one is the phone not getting out of this mode and 2 is it not even giving me an error message meaning i can't try again since it's still busy restoring. I tried doing it with the button you said not to click and running as admin. It's given me an error message a few times before and i tried again but it still stays at 0%. I tried doing exactly what was in the OP and it's now stuck at 0% at restoring. Step by step instructions just follow the pics in order: Run kies as administrator as I said And do all the usb updates, kies updates No need to install "myfree codecs" hit no on that. Kies will automatically check for updates and proper usb drivers. Make sure you are connected to the internet. ON your computer "run as administrator" the kies icon. When you are done, (dont forget hit "yes" to dl current usb drivers) I will assume the same for my note 2.įollow the prompts but no need to install the stupid codecs. Keep in mind: I corrupted my recovery on my gs3 several times and this still worked. I am pretty sure this is for ALL Samsung phones but I can only confirm this for my gs3 and note2. If it doesnt work or you get an error, you are doing this wrong. If you can get into DL mode you CAN 100% recover your device. Even with Odin you may have to try several times, its the nature of android. If this doesnt work you are doing it wrong, so try again. Ok ready? You want step by step you got it. :thumbup: This method will remove "modified" status from your phone! :thumbup: Release quickly when you see the screen come up. Press : vol down power and home key all at the same time. This works with corrupted recovery as well.įor now lets just say download mode is achieved one way only: Ok so unsure about odin or just new and now you just borked your brand new phone?ĭont worry about recovery mode because it doesnt matter for this. I mean hey some of you super geniuses have no probs but when I see posters who have no clue about usb drivers or even how to use kies, im confused why you would want to venture to odin? 500 $ is a very expensive brick. If you are new, have no rooting, rom flashing or w/e experience, imo you should NOT be using odin until you have completely read up on it. Some people have reported a flash count of 1 but idk I always went back to 0. This is also imo the fastest and easiest way back to true stock w/o a "modified" Its great for you Odin is easy, but I made this for people who want a hassle free easy way to recover their phone. Please: dont flame or post useless comments. So its come to my attention a lot of new guys are getting stuck soft brick, bootloop, borked recovery etc. Would you get on ship with no life boats or life preservers? Please complain to Samsung, locking the bootloader is one thing but no EFR? If you took the MJ5 update you will no longer be able to use the KIES Emergency Firmware Updater. This includes KIES 2.XX and KIES 3! What does this mean? Edit Nov 28 2013: GN3 Owners PLEASE READ!Īs of the new update the ATT Galaxy note 3(possibly all carriers) IS NOT compatable with KIES EFR!
