How Install Stock Firmware [Unroot/Unbrick] on Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Step 1: The article should only be tried on Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Step 2: You charge your device so that there is at least 70% charge with it, so that there will be no Power interruption during the process.
Step 3: You should backup all valuable data’s on your device, so that there is no data loss during the process.
Step 4: Disable all Security programs like Antivirus and Firewall from your computer and uninstall the same from your device, as these security programs generally tend to interrupt the process.
Step 5: Enable USB Debugging in your Asus Transformer Pad TF300T from the path “Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging”. The option of USB Debugging should be ticked.
Step 6: Download Samsung USB Drivers, Odin from here to your computer. Install drivers so as to have all necessary drivers for your device. Install Odin onto your PC, it is needed for flashing the firmware.
Step 7: Now, go to either Samsung-updates.com or SamFirmware.com and download the respective i.e. compatible stock firmware for your Galaxy S2. If you own an international Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 then download the firmware according to your computer. If the specific firmware does not exist then you can use the one that’s close to it.
Step 8: If you own a carrier specific Galaxy Note 2 then you can get the compatible version for your device from here:
T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 SGH-T889
Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900
Verizon Galaxy Note 2 SCH-I605
International Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100
Step 9: Extract the respective firmware file you’ve downloaded into a folder onto your desktop.
Step 10: Open Odin and reboot your device so as to enter it in Download Mode. To do so, when your device is OFF, press and hold the Volume Down + Power buttons together until the screen turns ON.
Step 11: Now, connect your device to the PC using the original USB cable.
Step 12: If the ID: COM section in Odin turns Yellow, it means the necessary drivers for your device has been installed into the PC.
Step 13: Now, click on “PDA” button and choose the “.tar.md5” file from the folder where you’ve extracted the downloaded firmware file.
Step 14: Ensure that only “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset” are checked in Odin, do not make any other changes.
Step 15: Now, click on “Start” button to begin the flashing process.
Step 16: As soon as the flashing process has completed, you will see a “PASS” message in Odin and your device will reboot automatically.

I have the I605 (verizon) and found the correct firmware. It passed in Odin and when the phone went to restart it now is just flashing the Note 2 logo over and over. How do I fix this? Is there a recovery I can get into to fix this??
Hey how did you fix this? Just did mine and I am having the same issue.
I’m flashing mine right now. You need to factory reset the device. Turn off your phone and press the up + power+ home button. Then wipe data and cache.
Hey how did you fix this? Just did mine and I am having the same issue.
i am have the same issue. did you find a fix
i have flashed international ROM. now my Samsung Note 2 got locked. just showing SAMSUNG display only..again and again.
Well, it says “Step 5: Enable USB Debugging in your Asus Transformer Pad TF300T from the path “Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging”. The option of USB Debugging should be ticked.” on a Samsung tutorial so I wouldn’t follow what they say.
I did all of this and my phone is now in some sort of boot loop. It flashes the model number and then shuts off; and will continue to do this until I take out the battery.
I can’t find the stock ROM for the AT&T Galaxy Note 2 ANYWHERE. I have TWRP and this is ridiculous.
for anybody who is getting boot loop samsung logo, you must reset your device by entering recovery mode, ordont forget to check the reset time in odin
Nailed it. Thank you very much! 😀
Hi, had bricked my rooted Note 2 GT N7100 while trying to install Kit Kat 4.4.2 sometime time like 4 days ago and had tried re-installing the stock version of 4.1.2 in vain. Well am glad to report that anyone with the same issue can now rest assured that will be the perfect solution for them. Downloaded the International Version of the UK stock ROM and using ODIN 3.07, flash-installed my phone with ease, just like snapping my fingers. BIG THANKS guys and keep sharing this kind of good work.
Cheerz….
I am having the same problem as everyone else:
I have the I605 (verizon) and found the correct firmware. It passed in Odin and when the phone went to restart it now is just flashing the Note 2 logo over and over. How do I fix this? Is there a recovery I can get into to fix this??
hello sir this is sukumar. i am using galaxy note 2(N7100). i am intended to download its stock firmware for future use. in case i screw my note 2 i want a firmware ready to be installed using odin but with out screwing up the warranty. so i would like to request you to provide me a link to download my stock firmware. i now have N7100DDDMG1. can i get one of that kind?
awaiting for your reply. thank you.
If after 10 minutes it still hasn’t loaded, you still see the Samsung logo then do the following:
Reboot the phone into Recovery Mode by holding down Power, Menu and Volume Up and scroll down to ‘wipe data/factory reset’, and select it. Reboot the phone and hopefully you should be good to go this time. This trick worked for me

Hi Pradeep,
Just restart the phone in download mode, connect to pc and install the stock firmware using ODIN. You can download the firmware from sammobile~com
My SGH889 from Tmobile does not respond to pressing of any button, all it does is flash screen back light and stay off.
The battery is fully charged (I checked with a multimeter), and the charge logo does not show when I connected a charger.
How can I flashed it with Odin?
please check if you are able to enter into bootloader mode. if not, the phone is hard bricked and you need to take it to service vendor
Having search almost all over the net for stock Note2 Verizon kitkat, i just resisted to say keep it up. thanks so much.
Thank you! This fixed my problem completely. I am now able to check for software updates for my galaxy note 2-sch-i605
When I click on the start button, it runs for a while and then shows up a message said that(success 0/ failed 1) and then it says there is not pit partition. Can anyone help me with this problem?
my note2 is not workin by doin step by step it.s not flashing what should i do plz…. sugest me guys…
Nice post. I had a problem with Galaxy Note 4. Its charging rate was very slow. On the forum, I found the solution that I needed to flash my phone. Further, there was a problem with finding the official firmware, I spent a long time searching for a source where I could download what I needed. So I want to recommend you a site with excellent firmness and a large selection of firmware.
