How to put my Note back to original state as my Note screen is faulty

I got my Note yesterday from a phone shop and my screen has loads of lines across it when dark colours are displayed...not happy! Its not damaged so its not my fault I only noticed last night and its been stressing me out.
I rooted the phone earlier and also I installed the ICS theme, can I get back to original state before I go to return the phone, help needed please! Thanks.

try settings, privacy, factory data reset. if that doesnt work, you may need to flash.

Reflash back with the stock regional ROM, Although I have no idea yet as to where to get the ROM.. last time I checked with Samfirmwares they dont have it yet.

Anyone know of another way to unroot, maybe by using the unrooting method?
Here is how I rooted, I used this guide in the following link http://knowmydroid.com/guide/root-samsung-galaxy-note
...so you know what method I used so that you can tell me the proper unroot solution, thanks.

Can I use this rom? http://www.filesonic.com/file/40770...000XXKKA_CSC_N7000XENKK1_PHONE_N7000XXKK5.rar
The link came from wikipedia and is a Europe rom

I have no idea what ROM came with your phone, might as well check with the store and download the correct ROM.

How do I do that?...ring them up? I bought my phone from the Carphonewarehouse incase you have an idea of what rom it is

I have the update rom on my phone, all I need is either another rom or the stock theme to remove my current theme (ICS) so that they don't know I had root, then I can unroot my phone.

The phone will be unrooted in the process of flashing a stock ROM. Did you pull a nandroid when your phone was (almost) still stock? You could restore that against the theme. As for root/unroot, I did jot down my original version: XXKJ4. I find that ROM, I'll be fully stock again. Check the thread of the root solution you used, there might be instructions on how to unroot. Also there is a dedicated how-to-unroot-thread in the dev section.

I'm also interested in this.. I would like to root my phone, but I don't want to lose the warranty.

SAMMOBILE
Anyone in the UK who like me purchased their note from carphone warehouse, if you hop over to sammobile, you will find for the N7000, a nice stock rom listed for the note, and it is the carphone warehouse version..
I have it as backup to flash just in case it ever has to be reurned, but for the record, for those that did not know, As long as it has a rom that is stock for your region on it when you return it then its fine, Flashing or upgrading a stock regional rom does not affect your warranty, so dont worry about binary counters.
I think custom roms and kernels do affect warranty tho.

check this link to download and install as directed..

[Q] 5.0 Factory ROM?

Noob here.
5.0 OTA update I got seems to be corrupt. Never rooted my phone. After the update I got the unlock boot screen and I have no cell or data service. Cool.
Resetting through software doesn't work. Hardware seems to be okay. I need to reflash via Odin but I'm not sure what ROM I should use. Tried two so far and got binary errors on both. Currently downloading the JasmineROM v1.0 hoping that it will work.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Normal would be to flash the stock rom for your phone from sammobile .

Factory Rom ??
Hey m8.
If you want to stick with stock rom tell me your country and network provider and I'll send you the link to the rom. If you want to change the rom to something different (ie different country rom or country generic rom instead of network rom ) and still remain stock then pm me and ill send you the info.

Questions about installing custom rom and need rom suggestions.

Hey guys i want to install a custom rom for my t00j-d. I searched about unlocking bootloader and things like that but i couldnt find something useful. First off all i have latest stock rom (lolipop) and its not rooted so do i have to root my device first then unlock bootloader then flash rom? And which rom is good at the moment? My priorities are battery life > performance > visual.
thanks for reading and answers

you can root zenfone without unlocking bootloader and if you wont flash rom backup your imei using terminal and then system using twrp or another recovery

i have been looking around and can not find any info on what i want to do. so i am just going to ask and see if anyone can help. hope ive come to the right place.
about a year ago i purchased a blu studio 6.0 hd(d651u). it came stock with kk(4.2.2 i believe. can confirm if needed.) i pulled the stock firmware using droid tool. so i do have the original rom and scatter file. the lollipop update was available so i updated. afterwards i ran the updated rom through SuperRs rom kitchen, rooted, de-odexed, debloated... afterwards when i was theming the apks and was almost satisfied, i dropped the phone and it broke.. so i purchased another one. same make same model(d651u). only thing i see any different is that this new one came stock with the same lollipop rom that my old phone had updated to. so my question is this. can i use the stock rom and scatter file that i got from my original device to restore the device i have now in case anything goes wrong. im trying to find out if i can safely skip the whole rom pull step and jump right into getting my custom rom onto my NEW phone. i know i can use my old rom, i just wonder if i would be able to restore a brick with my original rom pull because they are the same device, just manufactured at different times. any feed back would be GREATLY appreciated. thank you

no, you should not use the backup from another phone to restore your new one. and you should post in the section for blu studioinstead of here, the info you get here might be inaccurate

How to go back to stock AT&T Rom?

Hi everyone, is there a way I can just back to stock ATT Rom? I had it rooted and installed one of the roms, but I just want to go back to stock, say the B170 version than later do the officail upgrade to B180, so what are the steps to do that? And when I mean stock, I mean like I just bought it from the store, no TWRP or whatever, just want the phone to be back to original working condition so that I can give it to my kid to play with. Appreciate any help.

Once you've unlocked the bootloader, you can't do an OTA update. You have to wait for someone here to post a flashable B180 ROM.

Thanks, didn't know that. Is there a way to remove that bootup warning when I start up the phone?

not atm i been trying to look into that but havent had much time busy with real life stuff but i will report back if i make any progress on that
