Sorry for this again.

Could someone tell me the simplest way to remove a custom recovery and return the note to factory everything. By simplest I mean something that an idiot like myself wont screw up. Would be much appreciated thank you.

1st, backup everything!!!! Then, the best way is here: [2012.12.04][SGH-I317/M] CF-Auto-Root - Page 6 - xda-developers this removes root, the flash counter and returns you to stock.

And if something goes wrong, you can always do a full recovery flash: How to Unroot/Unbrick Galaxy Note 2 with Stock Firmware! | Galaxy Note 2 Root!

There is also this but I do not know if it works and I have not tried it myself: [Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 SPRINT] Drivers, Backup, Root, CWM, TWRP, Flash to Stock - xda-developers

First make sure your model is SGH-1317. Then Just carefully follow directions laid out by chain fire. Odin is simple one you get over the fear. Good luck let me know if you need further help.

If I just use the 2nd one will that also work? Seems a bit more simpler. Do I need to download kies for it too?

Yeah I missed that somehow but yes that will work . But be aware you will lose all data so be backed up. Also make sure that works with your device. I don't have att version so I don't know model number and what not
