Help needed to newbie - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently bought this note 2 which looked new though on deep encounter I got to know that this is an imported piece n it has knox warranty void n flash counter says 5
I searched further n found that can't b officially updated
I red somewhere I can flash till counter becomes 10
does it mean I can never upgrade ?
does it mean I can never downgrade ?
also I dont know to which country it is from
n seller had indicated if u update u will nt get network
I m newbie to this device
I previously had xperia u as well as motorola defy n both used for a year each with full flashin however since this device is expensive I plan not to finger it

Best advice I can give you is read one of Dr Ketan numerous guides. They are all noob friendly and extremely helpful. He is the fountain of all note 2 knowledge

build:jzo54k.n7100xxdll4
baseband : n7100dddlk6

Root your device then use triangle away to reset the counter. You are on 4.1.2 so it should not be a problem. Read dr ketan's guide how to root plus triangle away.

you are on 4.1.2 , so you can use Triangle away app, search for it on google and you'll get the app and it will reset your counter to 0.

well since you are already over with warranty and flashing stock is no issues but you can get OTA updates as due to trigger on the knox until it can be reset and brought to defualt which is not possible as of now ,and if looking for a custom rom make your choice on a stable one and no need to upgreade anymore.

its really difficult to nderstand how you got the knox enable bootloader without flashing 4.3 or maybe you have flashed 4.3 MK4 build knox bootloader by odin ,anyways now you cant claim warranty so just enjoy your note 2 with any rom of your choice

I think all firmwares are rootable, it depends on the provider though..some providers like Verizon(not sure) requests providers to lock the devices so it wont be rooted, but as for firmware, all firmwares are rootable:angel:
____________________________________________________________________________
Are you pertaining to root without pushing Superuser.apk? Just download from market and install busybox?
LOLERS!!
sorry if i've violated you guys
others version are like that too.. rootable and unrootable? maybe the new FW is COOL? check the lockscreen or anything else that will make it awesome

Mostly u can yes

If u had MJ7 then u have new bootloader that have Knox
U will have in Download mode 2 new flags Knox Warranty 0x1 that U CAN NOT reset
The rest of flags, like "Custom" u can reset with Triangle Away + Root

No you will not face any problem, but keep in mind that flashing firmware can trip KNOX status to 0x1 and warranty will be void but your device status will remain OFFICIAL. It will not change to modified or custom.

Ohkay, I that case do whatever you want to do with your device but with care. Don't flash branded firmware and don't try to downgrade after upgrade. Factory reset, wipe data from recovery mode before flashing.

Sorry, I not sure about dalvic. You have custom recovery...? If you are flashing stock firmware with Odin, your custom recovery will change to stock recovery and you can also factory reset and wipe after flashing. Actual reason to reset and wipe is to remove junk files.

I have flashed this ROM, i can't find any Multi user support.
The ROM is working fine and it is Official i believe. The only thing i have noticed is - sometimes i get FC in the Contacts application. Rest is fine.
And the music player widget is a transpare one.
How you flashed it? Mine its not booting up!! On which option on odin we have to flash thi? I have flashed on pda and the rom is not booting ip
