[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NINESIXTYFOUR:
Yeah, it is indeed really overwhelming, I'm kinda lost! I'll keep on reading, thanks for the precious advice!

Ok so if I'm right, a nandroid backup is a backup of the ROM with all the user settings/data that you can use to go back to the previous settings in case you don't like the new ROM you've flashed onto your device?

One last question, is it 100% sure that the files you uploaded are going to work my I717M? I bought it in montreal, if that can help you determining if it will work or not... And once again, thank you very much for the information! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
You're correct on the NANDROID. And as I understand it, all the i717M are the same. I have the same i717M as you and that's where the files are from. And Naughty Bot also has an i717M and has used the files to go back to stock. The only thing that may be different on yours (and I doubt this) is there may be some French specific stuff because you bought it in Quebec but you can confirm that for us. Even if there is a long as you don't mind losing that stuff then you're good to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NaughtyBot:
From what I've learned so far, there's no way to back up ALL your data and user settings until AFTER you've rooted the phone (using NANDROID or something like Titanium Backup). If you have a Google account and store your contacts and email in Gmail, that should be all be stored on Google's servers. You can use something like MyBackup Pro to back up some of your stuff but in most cases, you can't back up app data (like game saves and stuff) until after the phone is rooted. Android just won't let you get at it. However, most rooting methods don't usually touch your data, just make sure to follow the instructions closely and also make sure that the root method has been tested on your particular version of the phone. Take note that, if you unroot the phone, all your NANDROID/Titanium restore data becomes useless (phone needs to be rooted to restore it, pretty sure).

As for the flash counter, it used to be a big deal but not so much anymore. The phone has a counter that records how many times the phone has been flashed with a custom (non-stock) ROM. If you ever had to return your phone for warranty work and the counter was greater than one, Sammy had grounds to refuse to honour the warranty. You could unroot the phone but that didn't reset the flash counter. Braway came up with a method a few weeks ago but the problem was that it wasn't specifically for Canadian phones. Then MrJoran managed to obtain the stock Android components (with some help from willing friends) for the Bell Note and assembled a method of unrooting the Bell Note with provisions for resetting the flash counter. Now the only thing you have to worry about is if you brick the phone in such a way that you can't flash stock ROMs back to it. Of course, in that case Samsung probably wouldn't be able to see what you've done anyway (most likely). But once the warranty is expired, flash away. Go nuts, no warranty, doesn't matter.

I stand to be corrected on any/all of this. And what MrJoran said about the French stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NINESIXTYFOUR:
Awesome! That's all I needed to know by the way, these are the only apps that might not be included in your files, I'm not sure though and I don't care if I loose them I think I can easily get them back on Bell's site, I will confirm that in a day or two, once I convinced myself to root the Note!

Yeah you're right, the phone has to be rooted to be restored and thanks for explaining the flash counter thing in dept, it's much more clear now! I was just a bit afraid to root it since I've been experiencing a weird bug on the phone and I might have to bring it to Bell to have it checked up or something but now, it's all good! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
Those apps should be preserved after rooting and would also be restored if you return to stock using my files. No worries at all there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] auslander1138:
So long as you have CWM recovery installed you shouldn't necessarily need root to do a full backup or recovery.

If you use that rooting method mentioned in this thread then you could do a full backup and archive it for later use if needed by doing it through CWM before doing the root injection step.

Just a thought if you're nervous :-)

Thanks,

aus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NINESIXTYFOUR:
I don't really care about them but that's good to know! Thanks hehe

That's also very good to know, thanks a bunch! I now have all the information I needed, gotta love those forums :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] couellette:
Hi, I have a rooted Bell Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-I717M, and the process I used to root my phone went like this:

I. Before You Begin

1. Back up your data before you begin the process – chances are slim of losing any of it, but do it just in case.

2. This will add a number to the flash counter on Galaxy Note, which Samsung could check to deny warranty on your device. If you don’t want to face this, turn back now and visit when we have something which roots your device without increasing your flash counter.

II. Rooting the Galaxy Note

1. Download Odin3 1.85.

2. Download pda.tar.

3. Extract Odin3 to a folder on your desktop and double-click on Odin3 v1.85.exe to start the application.

4. Put your Note into Recovery Mode. To do this, with the phone powered down, hold Volume Down + Home and press the power button, then Volume Up when it asks you to confirm booting into Recovery Mode.

5a. Connect your device to your Windows-based PC. If you have already put your device into Recovery Mode, Odin should recognize it and the ID:COM box should turn yellow, as shown in the picture below.

5b. Load the pda.tar file into the PDA section of Odin

5c. Make sure that Re-Partition and Flash Lock boxes are unchecked.

6. Click on Start

That’s it. Your Galaxy Note should now be rooted after it reboots.

III. Installing Superuser

Open up the Market app on your Galaxy Note to search for it or head here for the web version. Search for superuser and then install it. You should have the Superuser app available in your app drawer once it is installed.

Thanks to Da_G on XDA forums for the original post!!

It's straight forward and my phone works fine now - not lag.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrJoran:
Might want to mention where you found these files (no links in your post) and if they are based off the AT&T system, since some people may wish to keep the Bell apps, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NaughtyBot:
I think you meant to say "Download Mode", not "Recovery Mode". The directions are correct for "Download Mode". Just to avoid any confusion over terms.

Also, there is now a way to reset the flash counter, even for Bell Note owners.

Otherwise, this is the way that I originally used, too. It was based on an AT&T build but I didn't observe anything that didn't work fine with my Bell phone.

You might want to provide a link to the files or the thread where you obtained your directions. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NINESIXTYFOUR:
Thanks a lot for this clear and precise tutorial man, and just a little question, what do you backup your data with? An app from the market? If no then just don't bother writing/finding a tutorial, I'll do this by myself!

Is it bad if they are based off the AT&T system? I guess I will only loose the bell apps?

Thanks for the precision! :cool:

That is because this post is from April, so it's for gingerbread only....sounds like you are on ics and now have a gingerbread kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
I agree that this forum is so full that it can make your head spin trying to discern the census, but be thankful that all of this information is just a few clicks away. I'm a recent convert from another forum that was so stagnate you could literally check it every two weeks and maybe see one new post.

Best advice to the OP is to read until you feel comfortable taking the fate of your new device into your own questionably incapable hands. If you're scared to root your phone then you're not ready to do so, and I'd rather be a d*ck now than read about your bricked phone tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kyrotech:
Hi there OP,

I am on Bell just like you, I absolutely love my GN and can't really see myself going to anything else.

I have rooted, unrooted and rooted again...

Everytime you play with your phone and try different things, its always a bit scary...but as they say, no guts, no glory!

I understand that this is a 700$ phone and if you screw it up, send it in if its under warranty...just mention that you did the ICS upgrade and when your phone rebooted, nothing happened

If you are serious about rooting then reading will be a major part of your progress.

But I can tell you this...I have tried many different ICS Roms and some are good, some are not for me

I can tell you this though, the Bell ICS upgrade really sucks!!!

it's not the lag, just the overall feel and look...there is just too much damn GB in it.

I guess when they decided to update, they wanted their customers to feel at home without losing too much of the GB feel to it

Sure, some of the things changed, but its still too much GB for me.

Using roms such as, Objection and OnlyOne, you will understand why the Bell ICS sucks.

If you need help rooting, let me know...and if your in Montreal, maybe we can meet up and I'll show you how to go abouts

good luck OP and happy rooting

Hi.

I`m having an annoying issue with my Nexus for the past two days.

As soon as I turn on the Wi-Fi it keeps using it (The two arrows on the Wi-Fi shows up like I`m downloading something)

I checked my router and it was flashing as well (like someone is downloading something)

I tried a full wipe and even installed a different ROM (Was using Android Revolution now using AOKP and still the same issue)

It only happens when using Wi-Fi not when on the Mobile Internet. (Edge, 3G, etc)

Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

You need to go in to your bootloader screen.

1. Shutdown phone (first disable fastboot from settings power menu)

2. Press Power and volume down until you see your screen powers on.

3. It will search for default (certified update package just wait until it stop)

4. On top of the screen you will see a line with Hboot 1.x.x.x.x this is your Hboot (bootloader) verison. (like Bios version on PC)

Be carefull on S-Off and rooting, read the guides in detail :)

I tried getting a generic car holder from pepboys that plugs into/hangs from the cigarette lighter but due to the size/weight of the phone w/ the extended battery, the holder bends forward and the phone falls off regularly.

other then that i'll put a sticky pad on my right leg and leave the phone on that(works better) but still wish the first option worked.

is there some sort of dock or holder with extended battery support that'll plug into the cig lighter?

The Verizon dock will work also with the extended battery, just no case when the battery is on. To add the first generation of Verizon docks didn't have the data pins shorted so it would only charge as a USB device, that's since been fixed.

man I'm on liteningrom 2.7 . i get a bunch of force closes.. not all the time, but randomly switching back and forth between apps one will just crash.. and when i type really fast some letters repeat, llike ththis oror tthis, its always the first letter or two.. Google maps has trouble making phonecalls from a stores listed number, and just general random lags or hangups..

I'm thinking it's cause alot of apps aren't fully compatible with ics yet, or maybe Samsung still hasn't worked out all the bugs.. but I just wanna confirm its everyone experiencing ththis right? not just meme (lol < see it just happened on its own) .

or is it a listening rom thing.. there's nothing special on this rom, so i don't mind switching if there's a ssmoother one, tho I do like the built in call recorder lol.. but I digress

I suspect you did not install the rom properly (with full wipes and flash any fixes needed after the rom)... or you're using the wrong rom... or your dpi settings need changing to work with apps properly (usually one of these dpi works 182, 184, 207, 210, 218, 240).

Most often this is a problem with the USB port. It may be dirty, but could also be faulty. Try cleaning it, first with a dry toothbrush. Then if that doesn't work, take the battery out and clean the USB port with a q tip with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Then let it dry before putting the battery back in. If none of this works, you'll probably have to replace the port.

It's unhealthy to go without reboot for a long period in my opinion. Sense framework builds up a ton of cache data, and rebooting helps purge it.

Exactly like a pc, keep it on for too long ( weeks ) and it won't perform as well.

Hellow awesome people

I was just really curious, is it possible to turn off 4G, and have the mytouch 4G running on 3G, because the 4G really kills my battery, and only lasts for about 8 hours on average use, 5-6 on high usage.

Any comments accepted :)

THanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
On MT4G, there is no "3G" and "4G", they're the same. HSPA+ that can run higher d/l speeds is called "4G", though it actually doesn't really qualify. The phone can't even differentiate between the high-speed and regular HSDPA modes.

Shortly - what you're seeing is an illusion, and your battery drains for some other reason.

Like jack said, you can't switch 4g to 3g, they are both the same for our network. You can only switch from 4g/3g to edge.

RootzWiki has an article up about the SGS3 (http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/leaks/will-the-next-galaxy-be-the-galaxy-siis-r647) that says that the SGS3 is rumored to have "[front cam] eye tracking [that will will automatically lock the screen when you look away from it] and phosphorescent green pixels (which would apparently appear white to the eye) to save battery consumption"...

well to be honest i have heard and read lots of rumors about the SIII ranging from a battery that lasts for days, moving to a flexible Super AMOLED screen and up to an ultra-thin mobile that bears ANY scratch and more...

Yea I know, everyone except the US is getting it at the same time. If its coming to sprint, you can bet you WILL NOT be getting it until Sept-Oct timeframe. Go back and check the time lag on the last 3-4 samsung phones on sprint. All at least 6 months, and some up to 8.
