[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
Good morning!

These are Odin-flashable .tars of the stock Bell system, boot, recovery, and radios and can be used to revert to stock for he upcoming OTA update of Ice Cream Sandwich. I've been using DAGr8's ICS alpha 2 for a while now and have found that some Canadian-specific apps will not install, and although his ROM is excellent, I'd like to try the stock Bell ICS when it comes out.

Files Available

NB: All files are zipped to save space. Please extract the .tar before flashing via Odin.

pda-odin-bell-stock.zip - This .tar contains stock system.img.ext4, stock recovery.img, and stock boot.img and can be used to mostly restore your Note to stock by flashing it via Odin's pda option. However, flashing this .tar via Odin will increase your flash counter so if you're interested in resetting the counter, check out the next file.

pda-odin-bell-stock-system-boot.zip - This .tar contains the stock system.img.ext4 and stock boot.img and can be used to assist in resetting your flash counter using braway's method. Flash it via Odin's pda option. The recovery.img has been removed to preserve CWM if you've already flashed it to your phone. Once your flash counter has been reset, you can then return recovery to stock via this method using just the recovery.img file in the archive here.

phone-odin-bell-stock-radio.zip - This .tar contains the stock Bell modem/radio and is flashed via Odin's phone option. Not working correctly. Working on fix. My apologies.

Bell-Modem-CWM.zip - This .zip is made by pterry30 from the modem/radio files in my .tar and works perfectly. Just flash via Clockworkmod recovery. I'll keep working on a way to get the Odin .tar to work though.

SkyDrive Folder containing all Bell Files - All above Bell files can now be found in this SkyDrive folder. Provider changed since my public DropBox links keep being suspended to due to excessive bandwidth traffic.

The stock Bell kernel can be obtained from this thread thanks to Da_G. Flash via Odin's pda option.

Disclaimer

I am in no way responsible for any damages caused to your Note by anything you flashed. These files are provided as is to help Bell Note owners return to stock after whatever they've done to their phones.

History

These stock files were pulled from two different Bell Notes so we could get everything we were looking for unmodified. marshals pulled the system.img.ext4, boot.img, and radio files from his Note after replacing recovery with CWM. I pulled the recovery.img and flash counter data from my Note after flashing a rooted AT&T kernel. The files were then prepared in an Ubuntu Virualbox into .tar, then checked in Odin for errors by loading them into the program. No errors were reported. These files have not yet been flashed to a Note as I'm still playing with DAGr8's ICS alpha 2 and only have the one device.

Special Thanks

marshals for pulling the system.img.ext4, boot.img, and radios from his Note.

braway for taking my constant questions and providing much needed guidance in my first developer-ish project as well as for the flash counter reset.

Da_G for the stock Bell kernel, instructions on using Odin, and indirectly showing me how to use the Linux terminal.

pterry30 for packaging the stock modem/radio files into a CWM-flashable .zip.

Please post your experiences with these stock Bell files below and if you have any questions, I'll do my best to help. Enjoy!!
