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

Stuck on boot logo after trying to install custom rom...

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.

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.

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.

[Q] How to install CWM manually

Hi all,
I want to install CWM on my rooted SGS however there appears to be on CF Kernel that matches my JVN Kernel so using the CF method is not an option from what I have read.
So I installed ROM Manager and tried to install it that way but I now get signature verification errors when I go into Recovery.
Next I downloaded the recovery image from the CWM website but I cannot seem to find any information on installing it onto a SGS.
If anyone could offer any suggestions it would be appreciated.
TIA
Greg
Edit: Firmware is 2.3.3

Why dont you just flash JVU then Root it
Comes with CWM ....
As I am guessing you want CWM to flash a rom yes?
If so most Roms require ...from my knowledge a clean install of JVU with ODIN before flashing a New Rom

Download this "update.zip". Place it in your SD card. Power off and boot into recovery with the 3 button combination (press power, volume up and home button till you see the boot logo) and select "apply sdcard: update.zip". DO NOT DELETE THIS FROM SD. You should have CWM installed now. Let me know if you have any problem.

You need to root your phone first with update.zip for i9000, download the latest CWM.zip, put it in the storage. Then go to recovery and install the CWM.zip Goodluck flashing!

Can you use any version of JVU? eg: Europe, Asia, Australia. Or, should you only use one for your region, in my case Australia.
I have an Australian verion of JW6 (2.3.6), would that be acceptable?

Thanks for the UPDATE.ZIP, I note it is just a renamed CWM. I did not know you could just rename them and then install them. Thanks.
So, my plan at this stage is to update to 2.3.6 (JW6) and then install CWM via UPDATE.ZIP. Should this work?
TIA

Yeah you can upgrade first. Flash a firmware or upgrade OTA. You should root your phone first before flashing a custom recovery such as CWM.

[Q] Help restoring my rooted Galaxy Note n7000 to stock status.

Hi there,
I have a rooted Galaxy Note N7000 running JellyBean 4.1.2. and I've got a ton of apps/photos/videos/messages... etc.
and I've sensed the phone is getting slow. I've removed all the unnecessary apps and deleted photos/videos etc..
but its still slow.
so anyway I decided to start from scratch, I decided to unroot the phone and install a stock rom. delete all photos/videos/apps.. everything.
so I downloaded the official latest stock rom released from samsung for my region. (N7000JPLSB_N7000OJPLSB_XSG)
and I've looked at many many pages on the internet and some site different methods than other, which got confusing.
finally i decided i'd go with the method mentioned in this page:
rootgalaxynote(dot)com/galaxy-note-unroot/how-to-unroot-galaxy-note-gt-n7000/
(sorry for the link formatting it wouldn't let me post a url)
the problem is, at the end of the page it says to do a “Wipe data/factory reset”. However, I have read on many sites and threads that you should never do a factory reset on stock Rom!
So now i'm confused.
1- is the method mentioned in the page i linked above correct and safe?
2- will the method above delete everything? ie: photos/videos/apps.. etc (which is what i want) if not, how do i achieve that?
3- do i do a Wipe data/factory reset? or not?
Thanks in advance.

To boot in CWM, you shut down your Note. And then you press Vol-, Home and Power for recovery Mode.

Yes, use tar.md5 file with Odin PC as previously shown.
That file is Philz kernel and add ROOT by default. To avoid root add, use philz_installer.cfg as indicated in the Philz thread.

Ok great, thank you for all the help.
i just hope i don't brick the phone

HI just one last fast question please...
as for philz_installer.cfg it says to put it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/philz_installer.cfg
but i don't have a clockworkmod folder.
should i create it? or put on directly on /sdcard main folder?

Don't use the tar file. It will cause a yellow triangle. Use the zip version. Place it on external sd card. Don't worry about cfg file for now. Boot into recovery and choose apply update from external storage. Choose the zip and flash. After it completes, click on reboot system. The again boot into recovery and you should see cwm

I've often used Odin PC to flash new ROM's, for example Stock LT4 and Stock LT5, no problem, no yellow triangle. To avoid it in the future, please explain when and why we get the trouble triangle yellow. Thanks.:good:

you will get a yellow triangle if you flash anything else that stock roms using PC odin. you will also get an increased counter. nothing to worry if you are out of warranty though
