You should just be able to use your volume up key to cycle through recovery once you get there. Since you can't boot into recovery with button combos, I think your only hope is to use adb commands using a usb cable and a computer. You can use it to reboot your phone into reovery and/or download mode. Once you set up adb you should find the command to reboot into download mode and use Odin to flash back to stock(plenty of guides already on the site, search for them).I'll try and find a link on how to set up and use adb when I get more time.

EDIT:

This link shows you how to set adb up http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
I am always on wifi so I don't need LTE, 4G, HSPA or 3G.... is there any way I can force 2G or edge only on an AT&T locked Galaxy Note i717? I've looked all over the forums and people say go into the menu and select that option, but it doesn't work. Same with apps, don't work. I've read flashing a different modem will enable that option to work, but won't I need an unlocked phone to do so?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Justinfedor:
Why in the world would you want to do that. Why go to 2G? Why not just turn the data off
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
Well like I said I'm on wifi all day and don't need LTE killing my battery for no reason. And, so I can still send or receive pictures.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c6comp:
LTE/Data is automatically disabled when you connect to wifi. No need to do anything. It will turn itself on automatically to receive/send mms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Justinfedor:
100% truth
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
Im guess the op really meant to say how to turn it off when not using wifi?

otherwise, like you guys mentioned, it turns off automatcially when wifi connects

and 2G still exists?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
So by forcing 2G I'm not going to see any battery improvement since it's automatically turned off since I'm always on wifi?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
...yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
I find that very hard to believe since on my iPhone forcing Edge gave me almost 3 times my battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c6comp:
That is Apple's "innovation" for you right there. This is Android. Android turns off cellular data when on wifi and only turns it on when needed for MMS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] namtellum:
You notice how when on wifi you don't see a 4g icon? Send an mms and you will see it pop up long enough for the message to be sent and then disappear.

That is your phone automatically enabling/disabling cellular data when needed/not needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
Ok, well to get this back on track I'd like to force 2G or even 3G no matter what. Any solution for me?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] c6comp:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and hit phone information. Scroll down and in the drop down list and choose GSM Only. Reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
There's no option for GSM only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
Nope. Even on wifi, say If you're sending or receiving MMS it will use your data (4G or LTE). Also, unless you have it turned on while the phone is asleep, your phone will switch back to 4G for downloading or synchronize data. 2G takes longer to download information because of he slower speed which causes the phone to drain battery because the phone would still be downloading the data.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
Ok well I want it to do that via 2G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Justinfedor:
Thats a lie. You hit phone information and scroll down. Click the dropbox and it says gsm only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
K... if you say so...

http://db.tt/4TwHJqew
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Justinfedor:
Looks like when you root and rom your phone you cant have that option. If your not in an lte area then choose lte/gsm auto. That should force u on 2G if no lte in area
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
I can't select anything except for LTE/GSM/CMDA auto. If I pick anything else it reverts back to that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
When you switch to wifi your data modem goes into hibernation, but your GPRS modem-the cellphone-continues to receive voice and SMS and mms.

If you want NO modem, turn on airplane mode-that kills all cellular and data activity-then turn on wifi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Well that's you first problem, comparing apple and android. Were you forcing edge while on wifi and are claiming 3 times better battery life....or just by forcing edge while using data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
Forcing edge while on or off wifi gave me about 2-3 times better battery. I've also done it on my dad's windows mobile phone and his battery last him almost 2 weeks without a charge and my mom's old school flip phone.

It's kinda ridiculous I have to be questioned as to why I want to do something. All I want to know is can I force 2G only? It's a yes or no question. If yes, I'd like to know how.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Perhaps use a different APN. Probably the old MediaNet APN would let you connect to EDGE network. Then you could switch to LTE APN when you want the faster network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] klee2000:
Hey is there anyway for them to add the feature to switch between 3G or 4G like galaxy S2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
OK well being an ass won't get you far, first of all. They were simple questions, not interrogations. Learn to relax a little browski

That said, its already been stated multiple times that android turns off 3g/4g and runs only SMS/phone while connected to wifi. If you would have read that awhile ago... youd have had your answer. And yes, you can force off LTE/4g while off wifi. Look around, plenty of apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
I'm not being an ass, I didn't ask if it would automatically turn off data while on wifi. I asked if I can force 2G (edge) with a locked i717 on AT&T? I'm getting answers to questions I didn't ask. That's rather frustrating because like I said "I've looked all over the forums and people say go into the menu and select that option, but it doesn't work. Same with apps, don't work. I've read flashing a different modem will enable that option to work, but won't I need an unlocked phone to do so?"

So since I've already tried all those things I'm asking is there a way that hasn't been mentioned already that I don't know about? I know for a fact the phone can go to edge because I've been in areas where the signal bars have an "E" next to them, not a "H" or "LTE" symbol.

Also when I was using Saurom with the first ICS modem it allowed me to select GSM only and it didn't connect to an LTE network. So I'm sure it can be done to drop it down to 2G only also. Like I said running sms or phone call data through 4G or LTE is going to use more power than running it through edge. I've seen that proven with any type of phone I've had which allowed me to disable 3G ( for example - my parents phones since they don't use data)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Justinfedor:
This thread is out of control. They gave you all the answers you need. Thats it. Theres no need to force 2g while on wifi. Its not gonna change your batt life. Wifi turns off mobile data until u get a mms. Dont like the answers provided then look somewhere else. Someone needs to close this thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
I like the way the E looks next to my signal bars.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
I believe to send or receive MMS, your data has to be on because my brother has a skyrocket with NO data plan but uses wifi at home. He can send and receive regular sms text fine but not MMS. When I had the HTC Tilt awhile back without a data plan, same results. The GPRS modem is for regular sms and phone calls. MMS relies on data with smartphones. I tried to send plenty of MMS to him over wifi and I myself see my 4G icon pop out with signals. He still can't receive MMS over wifi.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
That sounds right. Oops!

When you create an APN to get data you have to set up mms proxy too. So they go together.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sumeet909:
I have a similar question. With my windows mobile 6.5, I could force it to 2G so I didn't miss any important emails and battery life would last 3-4 days. I didn't even have to bother carrying a charger with me on a weekend trip. I was considering getting Galaxy Note and had same question and found this thread. Think about this, you are going camping/hiking/whatever and you want a low power consumption data connection to check emails/get automatic weather alerts, stock price alerts etc, and don't care about data speed in particular and there's no WIFI available, is there a way to force this into 2G? Just ignore the WIFI component.

AT&T Media net doesn't help, it will get you 4G and drain your battery in >= 1 day. Need an intelligent response... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
i agree

personally it seem incredibly silly to want to force 2G WHILE ON WIFI, when it'll only use it to get a MMS or maybe a voicemail, like how much battery u think that will save?

OP claims he wants to force 2g, because he's always on wifi. That right there is borderline pointless because 2g,3g,4g, all of that is cut off when on wifi. So why worry about data thats not even on????????????

Agree, close thread

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

now your example makes since, because you're saying you'll be on data and no wifi

but good look because i still havent found a way to turn my LTE off let alone force it to 2G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Try changing your APN. There is a 3G, 4G, and an LTE APN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
Its not this one. The code you want to dial is *#2263# and change choose (3) GSM Band Preference and choose (7) GSM ALL.

This should force your phone to use 3G or HSPA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sumeet909:
This doesn't work. APN for 2G/3G are same. 3G is still high power consumption. Yeah, turning off LTE will help after rooting and deleting APN, so your response is somewhat relevant, but doesn't get you into the power-sipping 2G mode.

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

This method works on international phones from what I read, but not on AT&T phones, I think this would work on a custom ROM, but I've never tried.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
If I am on wifi and make a phone call it uses LTE/3G/4G does it not? If I'm on wifi and make a phone call on 2G it WILL save battery life. Same applies for sending or receiving a text message or mms message. Whether in standby mode or in use LTE uses more battery power as opposed to 2G.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I'm wanting to get an edge only connection as well, but for a different reason. My office is all metal, and my signal fails on anything but edge.

My note will obtain edge, then switch back to 3g-4g, then back to edge. It will suck the battery dry in 8 hours "hunting" for a signal to use over and over all day long.

Tried the APN...nadda. Tried the *#2263#...nadda.

tried beating up my co-worker that has a good signal...nadda

The only thing even close to working for edge is CM9, with it's built in switch. but until kernel source drops, that switch wont work either.

I'm desperate gents....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
Have you tried this one?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...network2g3gonoff&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
That widget simply takes you too the default (and locked) network settings page in GB rom. Or locked ICS network page as well.

currently no rom available has a direct network switch except CM9. And that feature is broken until kernel source drops.

there has to be another way.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
OK, so I want to summarize.

You are on wifi for internet.

You want to send and receive pictures.

You want to save battery.

You want EDGE because you think that has lower power consumption.

How do you know a 2G/EDGE setting will make a power consumption difference on this phone?

I have my phone on wifi and barely get eight hours. I bought a second battery and a charger. I just switch out batteries in the early afternoon.

When on wifi you can send and receive SMS, and pictures by email.

I suggested the media net apn because that was from the good old EDGE days, thinking you could cripple your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I found your answer. An app called APN-Switch forces your phone into GSM mode.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mazdamiata210:
Now I'm not an android genius or anything like that however I do know how to read.

This is the link for the app that babymatteo has posted. I think everyone that replied to this thread saying what I want to do is stupid and pointless should take a look at the 3 latest reviews for that app.

If that wasn't enough, then...

That was after only 5 minutes on Google.

So based on countless people saying 2G will save battery, my personal experiences doing so on numerous phones, and apps that are made to purposely switch 3G/4G to 2G when needed; I believe that I'm not wrong for wanting to use 2G while on wifi since I don't need to be making phone calls or sending pictures all day with LTE or 4G speed.

Oh and I don't think this was built into a ROM if it wasn't a useful feature. Unfortunately it doesn't let me select that option which is why I'm here asking is there a way to make that option work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chrstndsgnr:
I assume from the screenshot that you're using the ICS leak, correct?

Actually you kinda answered you're own question a few pages back when you said you were able to get that feature to work on Sarumon ROM.

The reason it worked on that ROM was because it's based on the Canadian note, either Rogers or Bell (I don't remember which now). Afaik all ICS roms have been based on AT&T notes.AT&T blocks that feature in their roms,I assume because they like to be pricks.

Short answer to you're question: Yes, you can enable that feature, but you're going to have to dump ICS and go back to Sarumon GB for now. Once Rogers or Bell releases ICS, maybe one of the devs will release a ROM based on that.when that happens you should have access to that feature again.

Just a side note, pardon the pun, enabling 2G only will probably help with standby battery life (where you can see 2-3 days) but it won't do anything for you're screen on time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Sir,

I have replied several times with suggestions, and a link to an app like the one you found.

I also did some research into the reason why you cannot directly access the feature from a menu.

I also did a little looking into the power drain difference. Most users think there is a difference but the engineers say a modem is a modem and they all use power the same.

Bottom line-- you were disrespected by some here but not me. So don't disrespect my efforts to help.

And if you solved it by five minutes of searching then why didn't you do that first and save a lot of grief.

For me, I'm glad I did my research and I like the app I found. It will do what you want.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chairsz:
from my understanding your request is to disable 3g 4g and lte completely and only rely on 2g/edge (same thing and wifi when needed correct?

if so im new to the galaxy s 2lte (rogers canada) but i have found tha the best solution to maximise battery life by using 2g only with edge and wifi when needed and still be able to send a mms message or two here and there.

this is what you do

if your the officail stock ics rom 4.0..4

go to settings-more--mobile networks and click use packet data

scroll down to network mode and select gsm only.

now with wifi off you can have a long bat life 2 or 3 days depends u pon your other usages (games,social sitres, how many texting you do etc)

if you turn wifi on while data packet is enabled in the 2g mode you should still be able to send a mms message since it only relies on packet data and not wifi.

so until someone invents a way to bypaSS packet data for mms and allow it to work through wifi (natively and not through a third party app like skype or nimbuzz ) this is the best solution for you me as well.

hope this helps also remember the longest battery life is in direct relation to how much you use your phone period. regardless of its use.

so if you use your phone very lightly battery will last longregardless of your networkmode/.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Canadian users can do that - - - your modem is not restricted. At&t users cannot do that on any rom because every at&t modem is restricted. The phone is always on "auto".

Unless someone can decompile, edit, and recompile samsung proprietary binary files - - this cannot happen. Give it up.

First off, Thanks to sextape for his FF18 leak!

Sorry for my slackage in getting this out. I've been busy. :p

Thanks to TeaM VeNuM and rest of the XDA community for all their support and help in the threads, without you all none of this would be remotely possible! :highfive:

Rom is just STOCK ROOTED zip (Flash in CWM) of sextape's FF18 leak with stock kernel.

If you want to have a CWM repacked recovery, make sure to have any of agat63's repacked recoveries and flash it after ROM flash in the SAME session.

Download FF18 stock kernel and modem from Sfhub's FF18 one click in his resources section.

If you forgot flash custom recovery and would like to flash it still you may use Mobile Odin after you booted up into system. To do this you need Zarchiver from play store, explore to the kernel you want, tap on it, view, extract the zImage to root of sd card, open Mobile Odin, click kernel, external storage, choose the zImage (YOU MAY NOT RENAME IT or else it won't show up!)

Download Link: Down

Flashing instructions:

Flash it in any cwm or unlocked recovery.

Playstore/Market fixes:

If you're getting any error 921 or purchasing issues:

Remove your google account via Settings>Accounts and Sync. Restart and then re-add account again once. Then go back in and download it and it should be fine.

Any other errors, unmount sdcard and go into Playstore and download then remount sd card.

FF18 has been superb on battery and speed so far!

Enjoy!
