[ROOT/UNROOT/Custom Recoveries/Kernels/Roms] AT&T Galaxy Note ONLY!/ No Flash Counter

THIS IS A GINGERBREAD ROOTING METHOD, FOR WHEN YOU FIRST GET THE PHONE OUT OF THE BOX, THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH NEW OFFICIAL ICS.

This method is for people that have a AT&TGalaxy Note only and want to have root in the stock rom without tripping the flash counter only, For everything else look at the bottom of the first post!!

If you want root to flash a custom rom/kernel/CWM and you don't care about the flash counter and the warranty then this is not for you.

Go here for other root! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1504218

Now I went ahead and put the files together in one zip to make it simpler, it contains the root zip, the odin and the samsung usb drivers, all the files needed in one download .

DOWNLOAD: Big File: 532mb in size

http://goo.gl/aq2Wl

After the download follow this steps made by capite.

Extract Odin but don't launch it, run the samsung drivers for your phone on the PC and install it. Then plug in your phone to make sure it works -- it seems to take a while to get everything working. If you get an error, try rebooting and try again. Also, try using the cable that came with your phone -- 3d party cables don't always seem to work. If it still doesn't work, try another USB port.

1. Turn off your phone and uplug it. Take the battery out of your phone, put it back in, and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time. Keep them held down until the phone starts buzzing and you see the Samsung name.

2. At this point you are either in download mode or the phone will tell you to hit volume up, at which point you'll be ready.

3. Run Odin on your PC -- right click and choose "Run as Administrator" just to be safe.

4. Plug your phone into your PC.

5. In the Odin screen, wait until one of the top boxes turns yellow and displays some numbers.

6. UNCHECK all the boxes except for Auto Reboot.

7. Hit the PDA button and navigate to mashi's file that you unzipped.

8. Hit start

9. wait until your phone reboots.

10. If it didn't work, try rebooting and starting from scratch.

11. verify super user app now present. Update super user app (optional).

If you want to go back to unrooted, download this .tar file and flash thru odin! http://goo.gl/BBdow

Thanks to Da_G !

Flashing back to stock thru odin by using the stock tar in case of brick will increase the flash counter.

Enjoy and hit the thanks button if it helps you. :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zaptor99:
Since this is a System root, will it replace my Rogers ROM with AT&T ROM? I understand Rogers ROM has more features that are disabled on AT&T (NFC, Tethering, some apps).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
This will change the Rom and give issues to any other Rom besides stock AT&T rom when making root permissions.

Sorry but I edited this post to inform the people that only scroll thru the first page only!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zozodouce:
i used Da_G root

to root my note, can you tell me if i use this if this will reverse the Counter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
no nothing will reverse your counter yet, this will not increase it, sorry. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
i believe this method replaces the entire system partition so he will lose stuff like nfc. once cwm is working fully I'm sure someone will create a flashable zip that just adds root without replacing the whole partition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbran:
Not sure how it's done, but the entire stock rom including nfc service 2.3.6 is still intact. There is nothing missing or unusable from the original LA1 rom. Also since there is no hard reset, user data isn't affected. Again, we need mashi or someone far smarter than me to tell us exactly how this works. All I know is that it does.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukic:
so I guess if you want cwm to work, you'll have to use Da_G's Kernel Root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
Why, you flash cwm thru Odin and cwm increases the flash counter so this method would be pointless if you're not worried about your flash counter, if you don't care about the flash counter then use DA_G method of rooting/overclock kernel, this method is just for the people that are concern about the flash counter and want to get root.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukic:
Oh, cwm itself increases it....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
Yes you're replacing the stock recovery with a custom recovery, even when is available thru Rom manager as an official version of cwm, is still considered a custom recovery. Even the stock modified replacement recovery in here it will come up as custom when you flash it and will trip the flash counter if Im correct.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sixstringsg:
I assume this is doable via heimdall, correct? It looks like it's just a system image, which can be flashed with Heimdall.

Edit: Heimdall doesn't work on the Galaxy Note. Sad day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
there must be something wrong with your pc, you're the first person that I hear is having issues with odin, make sure the drivers are properly working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
I may wait a bit before I root but if I was to use this method I or we wont have any issues flashing roms once they come available right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
No, this is a system root to be able to have root on the stock rom and avoid tripping the flash counter, if you flash a rom I'm pretty sure you will loose this root, but if you are planning on flashing a rom and the counter is not a concern then you need the perm-root in DA_G thread.

Sent from my awesome Galaxy Note!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
Oh, I thought this method would allow root and flashing of roms without tripping the counter. So there is no fix for the counter? I've read posts off people asking how to remove trips etc. So in a nut shell if you are planning on flashing roms at this time there is no fix for the counter so use the other root method?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
no only this root won't, once you go flashing custom roms/kernels/recoveries it will trip the counter as of now, hopefully soon there will be a way to fix this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thatruth132:
can u help me with my situation i am trying to flash this in oden but it just hangs there is this because of my flashing the cwm recovery , i thought that it might be so i tried to reflash the stock recovery and now that just hangs , everything shows as connected in device manager on this pc which is a clean xp ...also it boots up fine

[General Questions and Answers] brehbreh:
hello, i just bought an htc hd2 that has android 4.0.3 ice cream sandwich. the keyboard did not work so i am attempting to redownload the operating system. the first step is to wipe data/factory reset.... when i do so it says No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext. the rest of the download goes smoothly until I reboot, when it stays on the load screen. i would really appreciate some info on how to get me past my little problem... anything would help, thank you .
[General Questions and Answers] Pietfoef:
If you don't have a /sd-ext partition you can't format it so don't pay attention to that.

Try to wipe the /system folder and dalvik-cache as well before installing a new rom.

You could also try another rom and see if that works.

I hope you figure something out :)
[General Questions and Answers] CoolTomik:
Try reformat your SD cart. Of course backup all content of card and than create one (first) partition EXT3 (for example 2GB) and the rest of the cart FAT32. U can use this windows tool EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition and card reader. Hope it will help.

[HTC Sensation] Rwayne:
Is there a fix for this?

I've flashed a new ICS firmware, Insercoin's new Rom, and the new clockwork mod touch. Not sure if i did it in the wrong order. But the app has been stuck on this since i've flashed this the rom on thu night. I've been sittin with it now for ten minutes.. after i uninstalled and reinstalled Titanium backup.:confused:
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
I have that problem too sometimes. Just force close the application, wipe the data and try again.
[HTC Sensation] Rwayne:
Thanks, Just tried it after about 20 mins of sitting there and it's been about two minutes with the same result after trying the process...
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
Strange... Have you tried rebooting your phone?
[HTC Sensation] Rwayne:
well it's been rebooted quite a bit since then.

It's still doing it now.. maybe another twenty minutes..

I'll try it in another 10.
[HTC Sensation] Rwayne:
I think i've come to the conclusion it's related to the app itself. as i've done a superwipe since then. still same result.

Ok this is totally a noob question and help would be greatly appreciated I accidentally replace touchwiz browser with stock ics browser. I was ok with it at first but I miss the automatic text re flow on touchwiz. I tryed to use system app restore to restore it from a fresh install but it wont work:eek:. Any one know how to fix this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raqball:
Go into settings -- applications -- all then scroll down to the launcher and select clear defaults.. Hit home button and you will have the option to select TW as default..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdawg244:
I dont mean the Launcher I mean web Browser but thank you for that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raqball:
Ahh... Misread sorry..

A little more info is needed.. How did you replace TW Browser with ICS Browser? From market or did you delete TW Browser from phone and push ICS Browser to system/apps??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xST4T1K:
(should be posted in Q & A section) Im a bit confused to with what your asking. Did you download an after market browser or what? The FB21 leak only comes with 1 browser, it comes with 2 launchers (a launcher is the User interface that you use to locate things throughout your phone) either way if you altered the defaults for your browser or launcher, follow as he said and go to the app (.apk) and select it then clear defaults.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Go inside the ROM zip and move the apk to system/app using root explorer , fix the permissions, reboot

Hey guys,

Havent been on in a while, now im confused and need some help. Ive been running Shiftsense 1.4X since it was released months ago before DroidTheory vanished. i feel my radio is starting to act up now that big red flipped the 4g switch in my area. i came to look for an update rom to run, but now everything is different. It appears the radios are separated now and ive never flashed them that way and i just need a little advice on getting my phone back up to date. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
You can still find them together if you search hard. If you cant, just flash them one at a time after renaming, thru bootloader. Its really pretty simple. Several good roms out thsre. Eternity is fantastic with sense 3.5 and beats, shiftsense is awesome also, gingerbread rock is the latest leak stripped down and rooted, i keep it on my sd card for when i need that basic rom. Make sure you update your radios first. The mr4 3.0 leak and thunderstick fullblown are also great roms. Good luck dude.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bking_soda:
Does anyone happen to have a link to the most recent radios paired up as one flash through bootloader? I can't seem to find one. I'd really prefer flashing them separately last resort. Just a comfort thing I guess.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
I dont, but there just as easy to flash seperatly.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrypj:
There is a newer radio than what is shown in that thread, look for the 2.11.605.9 radios.

[General Questions and Answers] Matts12345:
Hey,

since I've seen that it became possible to backup up and restore SMS on Windows Phone (with backing up the store.vol), i was thinking if it could become possible to port SMS from Android to Windows Phone. Anyone an idea how to do that??
[General Questions and Answers] cajunflavoredbob:
Currently this isn't possible. An interesting solution would be backing up the SMS messages to Gmail under a SMS label, then importing into Android under one of a couple of apps that do this already. The trick is getting a dev to write an app for WP7 that would complete the cycle.
[General Questions and Answers] Matts12345:
I really do not have an idea of all this developing things, but my first thought was, that it "just" has be possible to backup the SMS of an Android device in the ".vol" format (or convert them into a ".vol" file), so can can just restore them on Windows Phones. Maybe its complete crap what I am talking about, but for me it sounds the easiest way :D.
[General Questions and Answers] cajunflavoredbob:
I was describing a method that is already in place on Android. There are a few apps that back up SMS, MMS, and call logs to those respective labels in your Gmail account. All that needs to happen is for a WP7 dev to create an app which can process those "e-mails" under those labels and sort them to their proper places. This is much easier than having to load a file, since WP7 doesn't support .vol files.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mipr:
Hmm, I tried flash in Dolphin on OTA ICS and it seems to be working OK. At least I was able to play YT clips. Maybe uninstalling and installign flash again will help? Or clearing its data/cache via applications management?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
I cannot find anywhere to clear the cache on Flash. I can only uninstall/reinstall it. All I get is a grey window when I try to play any videos on youtube. If I force the user agent to desktop mode in Dolphin for instance it will play but if I try to fullscreen it it will just hang.

EDIT: I found a workaround. The default browser sends you to m.youtube.com and if I try to play a video it just gives me a grey rectangle. However if you press the rectangle the seekbar comes up. If you then press the seekbar advance a little it will then play fine and you can even fullscreen it. Nice big fat bug there though.

Flash Solution for ICS if it appears broken

To fix Flash in ICS, follow these steps:

1. Wipe Data & Cache for the Flash App

2. Uninstall the Flash App

3. Reboot your TF101

4. Install the latest Flash from Market

Your Flash should work fine, after following the steps above. Let me know if this solved your problem.

After i updated to ics i did a factory reset, does that count as data wiping/clearing flash cache? Flash seems to work ok for me on some sites but as mentioned before twitch.tv doesnt play on any browser. How can i clear my flash data/cache?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randolphslim:
Use Titanium Backup and Wipe App Data for Flash. You can uninstall the app in Titanium, too.

[edit: Titanium Backup is only for Rooted ROMs. You can go to apps in the Settings menu and select the Flash App if you are on a non-rooted ROM to clear data and cache, as well as unistall Flash. If it is greyed out, then there is probably no data or cache info to wipe and you can proceed to uninstall.]
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asusnoob:
My tf is not rooted. I have done what u recommended (app settings/clear cache/app data/uninstall/reinstall flash) still no luck with twitch.tv. Before ics, it was working perfectly. On another note, flash does not work at all on opera browser. Opera doesnt detect that flash is installed.

Has anyone on a non-root TF running ics got twitch.tv to work? Im starting to regret the update.

I have the same problem, even after wiping data and cache, uninstall, reinstall flash. For me this is no solution.:(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthWombat:
G'day...

I have exactly the same problem as described in the early posts. I have tried reinstalling the Flash player repeatedly with no success. I get similar symptoms in both the stock browser and in Dolphin.

I think I'll stop trying to fix it for a while before I throw the damn thing through the window.

My unit is an un-rooted TF101G and I only got ICS update sent out last week - I thought they would have ironed out all the bugs by now. Right now all I want to do is go back to Honeycomb...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artnat:
I had the problem when I switched to ICS Gnufabio ROM. Flash and even youtube stock player would cause problems in HD fullscreen. Videos were unwatchable. I switched to CM9 ROM - the same thing.

However, since flashing Megatron 1.0.3, flashing gapps again and with TestyMeh 1.0 kernel running @ 1.2 it suddenly started to work!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getwilde:
I've been experiencing the same problem.

I've found that it sometimes works if I go into full-screen mode first, and then plug in the HDMI cable. It all goes black for a few seconds, but then the video shows up in fullscreen on my TV.

As for the freezes, usually I have to close the browser, kill it, open it (and sometimes repeat several times before I can even navigate back to the page), then fire up the video again. But I've found that sometimes I can just power off the device (ie tab power button to turn off display), then turn it back on after a couple seconds, and video starts playing again correctly.

What a pain, though. Never had these problems with Honeycomb.

Frederuco posted this on his 4.3 ROM tutorial

I know I sideloaded flash and it only worked when I got the right version, and to tell you the truth I haven't a clue whether it is still working as I am on KatKiss KitKat 4.4.v22 now and don't use flash pages much. I do remember a lot of people talking about sideloading Flash as the only way to get it to work.

Hope this helps.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drawde40599:
nevermind i was thinking carhome sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MENDEH:
unfortunately google is blocking carhome on the galaxy nexus throught the market, which is dumb because the app works fine.

all you need to do is use the same workaround that was discovered for installing google wallet. the only hitch is the app won't show up in your launcher. i used an app called anycut to create one but since the app hasnt been updated in a while the icon will be kind of cut off. still works fine though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cleargrey:
Well that sucks. I am not sure I can be bothered with a workaround that is still hassle to use, if I'm perfectly honest.

I've gone to the market and picked up a pretty decent car home dock that has a 30 day trial. Seems pretty decent so I'll probably buy the full version.

Sometimes I wonder why Google makes the decisions it does about apps.

You can just install the APKs through a file manager. I did this installing the Car Home and Car dock APKs witch I have attached. Sorry I forget what forum I found this on, but it does work. Not sure if it will work non-rooted, but you can give it a try. You don't have to side lode or drop this in the system/apps directory, just install it like any regular APK.
