Usually if I remember correctly from my s3, the stock tar files include the stock recovery. It restores the phone to in box settings

thanks man! thats all i need to know))
this is what ill flash in ODIN right : http://server10.stockroms.net/download/GalaxyNote2/SCH-I605/official/I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_VZW.zip

I believe so but it would be great if someone else who has gone full stock on this device to chime in. My experience going to stock was on the s3.very similar just wanna double check with someone else too. I never Odin ANYTHING unless I'm 100percent sure that it's correct
And as you might know, CHECK md5. A bad tar flash will most likely hard brick your device. It's not the same as a bad rom flash

I did but i tryed using that triangle away and it brought me back to the screen where it says unatorized software when I did a reboot and I need that firmware again so I can take it out of that unatorized software thing not unless if you know of a way to do it with out having to re dowload the stock firmware again thanks
Sorry I am new to this device. I was under the impression if you flashed it back to a stock rooted odin then you would have the original firmware and the app should work as advertised. Sorry never used it myself that is why I am curious incase I ever get in your position.

I need I 605 vrall4 stock image

I had my phone unlocked and rooted cleanrom 3.5 I downloaded triangle away because I was told it would fix allshare cast and that I needed a zero count so I bought the app and ran it ...Big mistake I lost trwp in the process and somehow got stuck in a bootloop so I did adams unroot method and went back to stock i605 vralljb great right ? Well no because in the process of when I went back to stock I ended up receiving the garbage ota vrall4 and I was having a hella time re rooting so I made a huge mistake I tried to use odin with bootloader locked to get back to I 605 vralljb it wont do it so now my phone goes through the process in odin but when it gets to recovery it fails halfway through the download ...When I turn my phone on it says Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue .Please select recovery mode in Kies n try again....WTF do I do ? Am I screwed ?

Just wanted to ask: We should flash this AFTER completing the rooting methods? (Flash via ODIN the same way we did root etc..,) Sorry Im new to Samsung and rooting phones in general, but I do have experience with root/bootloader/etc.., on my tablet...
I see we refer to this as "MDK" Would that be the baseband version or build number? If I am already on Build#JDQ39.I545VRUAMDK and baseband# I545VRUAMDK, would I still need to flash this file to get back to "stock" w/ root? Just a little bit confused....

The provided build at the moment is a "Back to Stock" restore. I'm working on a pre-rooted version but AFAIK you'd have to have the bootloader unlocked in order to flash these. Being on Sprint I'm still a little confused on how that works - hopefully spending a little more time around the forums will help clear that up. (Thinking about getting one of these for the parents as a holiday gift - the lower end one they have seems to just be... substandard.)

good **** on the leak! i thought u were just a sprint leaker lol but i guess times have changed. and thats definetly a good thing for us

Is this the Definition of a soft brick? Fix?

So I rooted my S4 and all was good (Not my first rodeo)
I was running a Stock Deodexed ROM and I flashed a mod to change the toggles to blue. Still... all was good, but
then I decided to start fresh and clean up a bit. So I formated the device, wiped caches, data reset, yadda ya...
Flashed a different Stock Deodex and everything still seemed fine. I tried flashing the blue toggle mod and then got stuck on boot. Pulled battery and still nothing. Wiped all data again and flashed the ROM again without doing the toggle mod. Ever since then, no matter what ROM I'm on or have any mods, if I reboot I get stuck at boot screen. The only way to get past this is to wipe EVERYTHING again and start over. However... Hot/Quick/Shell reboot doesn't lock up on me.
So basically I'm at a point with my S4 that makes it impossible to flash anything and be able to boot. I even have to wipe everything before I can do a successful restore.
I'm using TWRP 2.5.0.2 and currently on my latest backup of cleanrom 1.3
Any ideas are greatly appreciated and welcomed. Thanks community!

I had your issue happen to me last week. I tried everything to fix it and nothing worked. I ended up flashing back to stock. Started flashing again using TWRP with no problems.
Here is where I got info to go back to stock. Go to android development and scroll down to (Guide) No-wipe factory image by open1your1eyes and follow as instructed. Happy flashing bud!

Whelp... I got that other recovery on there, but now I can't boot or anything. No ROM works
I think I tried everything, but it looks like I'll need to get Odin involved and go from there. Its too bad that the cwm recovery can't restore a twrp backup. This sucks. Ugh. First world problems... Anyone got a link for the stock image or whatever I need to push via Odin? Ideas?
Thanks again for your help guys. I do appreciate it and know I'll get up and running again soon.

From DarkMenace's signature, quite a nice resource he has composed. I ran into a similar situation with TWRP and ClearnRom 1.3 last night, ended up using Odin to push the "SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5.gz" in that link. Went back to bone stock, but it's nice to know there is a fallback incase something ever goes awry.

Yes, but there are root files there also.
So then what? Or do I just use Odin to do the whole kernel flashing thing again to gain root? Sorry to sound so noobish, just don't wanna go through this again. Lol
Should I just maybe try that VRUAMDK no wipe .tar?

You use Odin. You can use either file.

Yeah I know I use Odin. I guess I should have worded that better.
If I push the .tar you mentioned, I lose root, but some root files will still be there. So my question is... What files and what can I do with them? Or do I just start the whole root process over again as in the first place with those two modified kernels?
The other "no data wipe .tar" file you push with Odin as well, but would you retain root? If so... I would prefer the no wipe .tar, but you know better than me and I greatly appreciate your help and guidance. If the first .tar file is the better way to go and start all over, that's what I'll do. Its almost done downloading anyways, but was just curious about the no wipe and if ya knew anything more about it. I owe you man!
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda premium
Both files will remove root. You would need to reflash with the kernel files.

What did you flash? The ONLY things you should have tried are a MJ7 no-wipe or the MJ7 emergency recovery ROM.
Now I suspect you'll need to use the emergency recovery, but try the No-wipe one first. That also links to the full-wipe recovery ROM.
