I am pretty sure the Rogers version is the international version of the phone and is completely different hardware than the AT&T version. I think it would be a mistake to try this on your phone. Like they said in Ghostbusters: 'It is very dangerous to cross the beams'.

Edited in: It seems there are people making cross kernels so I guess I could be wrong but I would be sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
Your correct completely. Don't flash this "att_root.zip" file on anything but an Att Note. They have an large entire forum for the international versions of the Note.

The Canadian Note is not the international version, it's LTE and same design, specs as the AT&T version. But I'm not sure about the differences in the ROM, Kernal, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbran:
The Rogers version is the same hardware as the AT&T phone. i717 vs i717R. The roms vary mainly in the carrier radio specs.and, of course...bloatware. An accidental flash of the other carrier's rom will usually load and not brick the phone, but, naturally all data and phone functions won't work.

I dl'ed the att_note_root.zip file from capite's,dropbox. Got a 509.96mb file. Tried to unzip, and got msg "bad zip file". Read the whole thread, but don't remember the file size ever being mentioned. Did I get a complete dl?

I think you didn't get the whole thing, it shows "522,916 KB" in Windows Explorer.

Thanks Capite for the guide Post #87. Of course, thanks to OP for the share! and the one who shared using dropbox!

I think I'm rooted now. BTW, what are the advantages and disadvantages of this root over the one that adds flash counters?

Can you overclock your Gnote with this root? What other disadvantages you get with this root over DA_G's method?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
The advantage over the other root method is the lack of a counter being tripped. Also you don't have to wipe your data using this method as you do for the other method. You can overclock IF (big if!) You install the "overclock kernel" from DA_G, which then trips your counter so it really negates having used this method. The same goes for flashing the Custom ROM by TPC, trips the counter, BUT you get a custom debloated ROM that is gonna definitely offer better performance. It all depends on you and whether you're worried about voiding the warranty visibly really.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
Thanks brittoking for the info. This is root method is more than enough for me!

By the way, since this question is related to this root method .. and searching the thread doesn't have any results.

Here it goes:

After rooting using this method, then lets say ... remove some bloatware and install only rooted capable apps. Then I decided I want to go back to Factory Settings and UNroot it (just like how it was out of the box).

Will Settings > Privacy > Factory data on Phone do the trick? (even unroot?)

Or do I have to do something special.

The reason I ask is I'm returning this note in exchange for another one in 2 hours. I need to unroot it and restore to defaults so my personal data will not be there when I return it. I also need the bloatware to be installed back to avoid suspicions of root.

Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
Most of the bloatware was removable, I don't know how extreme you went in removing things though? (Att navigator is considered bloat for instance but a lot of other Att programs were able to uninstall without root) There is a thread on this forum about flashing a "stock" image thru Odin by DA_G And that pda.tar will get you completely back to stock with all bloatware.

If I look on properties/details of the .tar file I see 796 MB or 834,672,640 KB...is this ok? Or did I do something wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
Or an easier way is to uninstall all root programs and the superuser.apk and then download the bloat. Just go to the market and download anything Att makes in the way of programs. That's what I hear most people do, rather than downloading another large tar file

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
That sounds easy with restoring bloatware apps. So does it mean that if I uninstall superuser.apk, it becomes unrooted right away too? Or will BB or AT&T or Samsung will detect it was rooted anyway? I don't need to run anything special like odin to unroot it?

Sorry for the questions, I'm really really new to this.

EDIT: This one I think uses odin to restore it to stock, which I don't know what it means entirely.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1504999 <--Is this the one I'm looking for?

EDIT 2: I did the Settings > Privacy > Reset to defaults .. and when it was done, it was still rooted :( Also, after restoring, superuser was still installed.

It needed to be extracted anyway. So it should be fine. I would use it. You are seeing the file properties size, but still make sure it is unzipped/extracted.

I noticed CWM is already out. Is there a way to install it without using Odin to avoid flash counts? I have a 1 flash count anyway. But I was thinking about returning and buying another phone if a flash count reset doesn't come out before my return/exchange grace period. Thanks in advance guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbran:
My experience is that CWM itself doesn't trigger the counter with Odin, since it's not a rom per se. I haven't looked to see if they have packaged it with a kernel that would.

My Samsung Galaxy Note™ SGH-I717 is smarter than your Honor Student.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
The post says it has to be flashed by Odin at this point, no adb or any other method yet unfortunately. It also states in the comments that it will trigger the flash counter.

My phone will eat your Apple!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
Yes you should be fine. The tar file is what you flash anyway, not the zip itself.

My phone will eat your Apple!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brittoking:
Yes, resetting the phone does NOT remove root. You have to manually uninstall the superuser apk to make it "look" like you don't have root, or flash a stock image file in Odin, (the same way you flashed in Odin to achieve root) to really get back to stock.

My phone will eat your Apple!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbran:
Yeah I think I'll wait a bit then, until it all gets worked out. I decided I was going with the more cautious approach with this phone. And at least it's rooted with a zero counter.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kikex76:
Weird. I did factory reset today from settings, and deleted superuser. I had to reinstall it again in order to use root explorer, titanium and others.

That guy was not very careful .. she should be moved to a different department .. he can't be in the mobile department.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] papashex:
Thanks for the instructions. Success on first try with no increment to counter.

You might also add (to noob proof) "verify super user app now present. Update super user app (optional). I know if you don't already know that you should'nt be doing this in the first place, but you know someone who doesn't know will do it anyway and ask how to verify.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
In order to remove root you need to remove superiser AND the su binary. The easy was would be use Odin to overwrite system.img with the stock system.img. As this is the way you root in this thread, if this one doesn't increase the flash counter, neither will unrooting this way.

You can try reinstalling the necessary drivers and even reinstall Odin, but it sounds like a computer issue not an issue with this file? I could definitely be wrong though as I don't know anything about your specific setup, or how you use it, if you have a virus etc etc etc

very noobb question, so I want to use Mahi's method to root so I can avoid tripping the counter. I downloaded the NoteSystemDump_rooted.tar file witch was over 500 mb, than I extracted it and I saw so many different files and now I'm confused.

Witch files do I use to flash with Odin?

I flashed before, but it's ususally the PDA file, but now I don't know anymore.

Any help would be appreciated.

What Rom? This is not a Rom! This is a system root from an at&t Rom so no it won't give you nfc, saurom Rom or an ics Rom will enable nfc.

Hi, I saw some post on ASUS UK and ASUS Northamerica Facebook, that ASUS canceled the ICS on the TF101, because of lack of resources with the ongoing ICS problems on tshe prime.

Can somebody confirm this, or is it just a rumor?

Samuel Müller So sad, ASUS stopped ICS development for the TF101. Yesterday I called a ASUS Service Centre in the US, after been switched a few times, I got a service technician on the line. On my ICS questions he told me because the trouble with TF Prime they have no resources left for the Original Transformer TF101.

After the ASUS ICS announcement for the TF101 last October, the release was postponed many times and ASUS Singapore told the customers, that the prime and the TF101 get ICS the same day. Then it was postponed again to mid February and again to February/March. ASUS stopped the ICS adjustments for the TF101 in the middle of January. They where not able to handle both transformer, because of lack of resources then they stopped the ICS port for the TF101 completely. This is also the main reason why there was no official statement and confusion all over. Like · Comment · 2 hours ago ·

Colin Willson I find this hard to believe, but at the same time it must be true. For Asus to not update an 8 month old product is terrible business. Asus has proven they are a horrible company.

I don't think "Samuel Müller" speaks on behalf of Asus and neither does a random service tech.

I won't believe any of this until it's confirmed by Asus themselves in an official way.

Also, I find it highly unlikely that they would cancel ICS. It's supposedly almost done and the backlash would be huge.

Just another guy getting his couple of minutes of internet fame. Moving on ...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
I don't think Asus is really that stupid (well, I've learned that there really are stupid people.. but still..) to lose customers over a "lack of resources" ? I'm sure they'd lose more resources in not pushing an upgrade which should be somewhere in their cost-benefit analysis. In any case, let's not forget that Apple is a master at marketing, and that this is a perfect opportunity to strike at one of their competitors.. I'm not saying that these guys work for Apple, but if I were in Apple's company, I'd be telling my marketing team to go run negative publicity on Asus (discreetly, because Apple must be seen as above the rest and therefore does not need to market against people) because this is an awesome opportunity.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] pzboyz:
Asus probably snagged many 1st time Asus customers with the TF101, by having some longer term support for the TF101, it encourages you to try them again in the future when the TF101 is ready for being replaced. Most people own their devices for many years, and are not the gadget obsessed junkies who change device at 6/12 month intervals.

So I am hoping this rumour and speculation is not at all true. Otherwise this is highly likely to be my first and last Asus product.

Good stuff is still worthless if you have no love from the vendor. Mark my words, asus does not care about it's past customers, only seeing them as potential future revenue, that's why the newer, shinier stuff always gets the upgrade, but the older stuff (same general chipset, not that much different), screw those guys, time for them to upgrade. It's the exact same greedy corporate mindset that apple has.

I took a risk buying the Transformer, but now i'm wiser for it. Definately won't be buying ASUS stuff again soon, and my next tablet/phone will probably be a Motorola.
