Sorry :(

I'm afraid you have bricked you phone. There is no way that I know that can recover your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
Hi all,

I just did a System Level root here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1505062 and it was successful. It didn't add flash counters which is why I chose this method.

I was able to install Superuser and Titanium Backup.

However I need to return the phone for exchange because this one is currently defective (charger issues).

Now I'm trying to unroot and restore to defaults. First I uninstall Titanium backup which was easy. Then now I can't UNinstall Superuser.apk. I look for guides and found that I need to download Terminal Emulator, enable root then run these commands:

su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su

However, when I run this it gives me this error:

#rm -r /system app Superuser.apk
rm failed for Superuser.apk, Read-only file system

So yeah, it won't delete and I can't return it with Superuser installed in there :(

Is there a different method to just download the official restore .tar file from Samsung and just restore it that way using odin. If there is, where can I find that .tar file?

Please help, I only have a few hours before I can return this :(

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
Just an update (I'll just reply to myself since I found a solution)

I was able to delete the Superuser.apk,busybox,su by following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7386761&postcount=2

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/app
rm Superuser.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

However my device is still rooted. Although Bestbuy/AT&T might not detect it, Samsung probably will .. so warranty can still be voided.

Anyway, is there way to unroot easily?

I'm guessing that using the official .tar file from samsung ... will fix this.

Where can I find that file?

THanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
How is Samsung going to link your Best Buy return back to you? Since you are within 30 days, your return will be fine. I think the concern is the flash counter when sending in for warranty repairs after the 30 day return window.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
Thanks! Point taken. But yup .. I guess I was talking about future issues when I will have to deal with Samsung (hopefully not).

So .. is there a restore .tar file that samsung provides?

Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jdphilly:
Not sure if it will work but i would assume just flashing the stock att tar would remove root
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidal:
Or just do a reset under settings>Privacy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] spec2323:
will that actually "unroot" it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
No. 2 ways to unroot. Remount r/w, and remove said binaries, or flash system.img with stock the same way you flashed the rooted system.img.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
do you have a link for a real/safe ATT stock system.img we can flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506330

There is a stock system here. I'm pretty sure since it is the stock signed kernal it shouldn't trip the counter either. Maybe someone with an already tripped counter can try it and report.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mr.Rookie:
thanks alot :)

it worked for me.. :) thanks a lot :):)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:
Another way to return to stock is with Kies. I have used this method a couple of times with no problems. Once Kies wouldn't recognize my note, so I had to flash a stock ics rom from the super everything thread, then hook it up so kies would recognize. There is also a flash counter reset in the super everything if you are worried about that.

Did you get the insurance from Best Buy? Or just worried about warranty from Samsung? If you have BB insurance, just run over the thing with your car before taking it back. That's what I plan to do. Just before my contract is up I always return for a new phone. They can't check the flash counter if it is snapped in half :p

I will say a simple method to uninstall superuser.

First you root your phone again

Download clean master which is free.

Now open it. And allow superuser permission. Now open app manager.

It shows uninstall-backup -move options.

Select pre installed apps . Click superuser and click uninstall.

Hurray u have uninstalled superuser . My what's app number 7401660083. Message me I you have any doubt:good:

Hi guys!

I´ve just updated my TF101 to ICS and it´s really fast. But I have a problem with the laucher. Some times, when touch the home button to go to the homescreen, the laucher and all the icons desappear.

I can´t go to the apps that are open (with the multi-task button) but the launcher doesn´t appear.

The only solution I know is shuting down the Tf101 or closing the laucher app, but it is quite boring to do ir every 5 or 10 min.

Does it happen to anyone here?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjarnehe:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digger44:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daithioflionn:
same here but may be able to narrow it down.

I am having the same problem. The whole screen just displays the wallpaper and removes any icons or buttons. So I can pan sideways and can sometime know what I am clicking on by memory but all icons go until I reboot.

weird thing is.... I have done a factory reset. reloaded my apps and settings. Its all working fine until I pop the Gmail and Calendar widgets on the screen, then boom. Gone again.

At the moment I am running without any widgets and I have not had a repeat. Do any of you clever clogs have any ideas on this one. Seems to be a small percentage of users with the issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Horrox101:
Same...

I had the same problem however it seems to have stopped now. Perhaps as a result of my app purge that i did the other day.

Anyway for those still having this problem i suggest you use the notification bar to access the settings then from there you can go to the Launcher under apps and do a force close. after a bit it will reopen again with all screen icons and widgets back.

Happens to me too,

I managed to fix it the latest time without rebooting, by going into settings, running apps and stopping the launcher and anything google. Next time this happen I will make a note of which killed process gives me my app icons back.

also its strange that even with the app icons gone, you can still click around the screen and open things, as if they were there.

Nova

you should try Nova Launcher, it looks and acts like the default launcher in ICS. But with a couple functions added. I havent had any troubles with it.

Just search it in the market. to get the widgets to work just move it to /system/app
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the-gog:
I installed ICS on mine at the weekend. For a couple of days it reasonably stable, though certain apps lagged somewhat. Then it got much, much worse. There's a recurrent problem with the launcher. If you've gone away from it, such as to use an app, and then return, firstly the widgets and stacked/grouped app icons vanish, then all the rest of the icons vanish, and the three squares on the top right of the screen. The icons are still there, as it's possible to stab on the screen in the right place and launch the app that the invisible icon links to. All five screens of the launcher have vanished. The tablet still runs, as the live wallpaper still runs, and the recent apps are accessible.

Other problems include major freezes or lags. It's common to go to launch email or the web browser only to have to wait 20 seconds or so before anything happens. I've had to wait 5 minutes before now for Opera to launch. Eventually the tablet will freeze and I have to reboot it, but even then, apps take an age to launch, and regularly freeze. It's getting to the point of being totally unusable. It's taken many, many attempts to write this email as the app crashes of its own accord, and perish the thought that I copy and paste any text in, including the email address - it's enough to crash the email app.

My TF101 ran Android 3.2 perfectly fine, and very, very quickly. It was gloriously stable. I can't get more than 2 hours of use out of this without having to reboot; this afternoon I've been having to reboot every 10 minutes.

I've drawn Asus' attention to these problems via Twitter and Google+, and I know they've been told about it on Facebook, but there's been a wall of silence.

I had the problem with a disappearing launcher on ICS on 4 different launchers. Recently I removed a few widgets (NewsRepublic, Bacon Reader, and DroidWidget) and haven't had the problem reoccur. Maybe some widget incompatibility is to blame?

Same problem here with the stock ICS launcher. Using ADW Launcher EX without problems.

Some apps seems to be running super fast at times and then others super slow at times with ICS. Guess I'll do a Titanium backup and factory reset and see if that helps. ugh...

Had the same problem until I discovered that the Plume widget was the cause. Once I removed the widget from my homescreen, the glitch disappeared and never have it ever since.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
Try resetting the tablet, and it actually helps and sorts out most of the problems.

Turn off the tablet

Press vol down and power down buttons together.

You will get into recovery kernel options choose it and reset.

ICS will reload and hopefully your problems will disappear.

Remember "ALL DATA WILL BE WIPED CLEAN"
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taomyn:
Actually no, before that try clearing the data/cache for the app in question. So far just the Launcher, Music and the Media Storage apps have given me issues and clearing just their data has fixed them. My whole TF is running fine now and I haven't had to wipe it.

My only remaining issue is panorama mode for the camera already acknowledged as a bug.

Less third party widgets

I have the same problem since android 4.0 first update. I didn't root the tablet and don't want to for many reasons, this is not the place.

I see many of you had or too much apps or too much live widgets. The issue comes even with other launchers as nova, apex, adw and go launcher hd.

The last update of this week make everything more smooth, not as seen on jelly bean but almost there. After a reset I have again the problem after using widget as Gmail, email, google Reader, evernote, tweetcaster, google plus and Facebook. I installed less then 150 apps.

Now I will try only Gmail and email widgets for a few hours.

Hello,

Here I have a small question since AOSP ROMs are most popular with Nexus phones.

Also is C++ or any other programming language necessary?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
You'll want to know java.

And you'll want to read thru the stuff on source.android.com

As for setting up from source, start here: Initializing a Build Environment

As for guides, there's literally hundreds of them - excluding the one off of the Official google source site. Search xda, google, etc.

Here's just one example: [TUTORIAL] Setting up and Compiling ICS from AOSP (for the galaxy nexus) which follows the guide found on -> How to Compile ICS (Ubuntu)

Catch my drift ;) the information is all out there. You just have to take the time to search and read.

One last thing, for setting up for dev environment. A lot of people seem to go for ubuntu (my recommendation so it might be the most user friendly.

Personally I use arch linux :D so the w/e flavor you choose shouldn't hinder you.

So far after owning the phone for 3 days I've noticed several problems with my Note and may go ahead and return it for a new one. First my stylus seems to to thinks its pressed down when it's not but only towards the bottom of my screen where the "space" and "." key are on the Samsung keyboard. Secondly I've noticed a dark splotch and some dots towards the top of my screen thats only visable on grey to black colors and is really only visable at night. Lastly ive beeb unable to get my USB host to work, though its possible its just the cable (from/for my old Nokia N810). Anyways have any of you guys experienced these problems or other problems and is it worth returning in my case? Thanks.
