Guys, I successfully flashed my AT&T i717 and have a few questions. But first a big thanks to tomin.fhl for his how to in the first post. I must have flashed the wrong radio at first because the phone ran like a bucket. So slow and crashy, but I used the proper radio and now it is running really sweet.

When it started updating everything it got really hot, which did concern me but now everything seems to have stabilized and doesn't seem to get hot anymore. The Download and upload speeds are all over the place, ranging from downloads of 10,000 last night to 1,500 this morning. No idea what is going on but I guess it could be network congestion. Middle of Houston so anything is possible.

Biggest concern seems to be terrible battery life. Unplugged the phone at 7:30 this morning. Did a couple of speed tests, updated a few apps and at 8:50 phone was sitting at 89% battery. My Galaxy S2 would still be on 60% by 8PM after a day of mild usage. Not sure this big fella will get close.

Anyone else any experience of what the battery life is on a stock AT&T or T-Mobile Note. Maybe what I'm seeing is normal. The big ass screen just eats battery.

Oh one other thing I noticed is that the memory usage gets into the red all the time. Never saw that on the S2. I have set up the Note with exactly the same apps etc as the S2.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] adiprince1:
Ya the battery drain was the biggest issue for me too. I guess its the radio not the rom itself. I flashed back to blaze radio and now its much better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] needabottle:
Thanks. How are your speeds with the Blaze radio? Also do you have a link for it? I've been trawling through the forums but I'm not sure which radio it is for the T-Mobile Rom i717.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] adiprince1:
Try jeet's radio test4.zip. That radio is good at battery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] peez206:
odin version

hi what version of odin is everyone using? 1.85 or the new 3.07 version for GS3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alicklee:
First i would like to thank tomin for making this awesome guild and getting the the files we need to have a fully operational note. Thank you tomin.

Now for the for report. After a few days of usage i can say this awesomeRom is golden for the wind network in Canada at least in Vancouver.

ok so after doing everything in the guild and using the mod i717 version of the radio. For the first two days the phone was no different then the blaze modem with mod rom. It was dropping data and still only running on hspa speed. I check the network service setting and there was no hspa+ also the voice call was sounding like dub step lol.

After about two day of just,letting it do it's think all,of a sudden the phone stop getting hot and voice call come in,normally and data on my streaming radio was stable. I was getting like 5 to 8 drops for a 25min bus ride to work ! Now the phone almost doesn't drop at all and it's on full hspa+ the upload is still a bit slow but not too much WAy Better then before .

Mind you this all happen after a few charge cycles and Manuel reboots.

As for Battery like I can get though almost a full day with it.

The phone also doesn't get hot anymore .

On a side note I guess a lot of people were not wiping the phone before odin flash. You must make sure you wipe your phone all of it then Odin flash rom and radio you need. I am using twrp for my recovery boot works great. Reason being is because if you just Odin flash the rom and radio it still keeps the old radio setting and data. that was what,happen,the first few times I,install it. but after doing a full wipe it works right, But it still needed a few charges and reboot to work fully for network and not getting got and sounding like dubstep when you make phone calls

Here are some screen shot of the network showing hspa+ and data speed

Hope this helps all you,fellow i717 note user on wind/ mobictity and TMobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] nbog:
great

i am also on wind and was waiting to hear a success story. since I did cwm backup of my GB stock rooted 717, would full wipe also delete my original cwm backup of the system? I am new to android and dont want to make a mess with the phone. I guess Iwould have to rebot into cwm and do wipe, then follow the steps in post 2, right?

Or how do I make a copy of my cwm backup on the sd card?

thanks

Do I tar the recovery image to be able to use it with Odin?

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

Or could someone post one that will work with Odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] kelvin_swe:
Im using 1.85
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Think I uploaded a tar version of the stock recovery. If you downloaded before I updated it, the tar image is in post one now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alicklee:
hey you can make a backup of the the cwm backup folder. you dont have to wipe the internal sd on the phone.

what I mean by wipe everything was all the wipe data / factory reset wipe cache partition but not your internal sd storage.

format /cache

format /data

format /system

wipe Dalvik Cache

wipe Battery Stats

those are the options you want to use.

but if you want to keep a copy just incase you can copy the cwm backup folder into your desktop computer for safe keeping or copy it to your sd card from the phone directly. you can do this with a astro file manager or es explorer on your phone.

I personally like team win recovery project http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/ for my boot recovery. but cwm will work as well.

let me know if that works for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alicklee:
On a side note I also did *#2263# and set the setting to wcdma and (6)all freq in the setting as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] manson1978:
Thanks I'm all set up and good to go!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] nbog:
Done

:highfive:

Actually, I didn't do any wipe steps, just installed as per the orinial post and I am now doing my GN clean-up thanks to the Titanium Backup Pro. What's interesting is that, even though I also backed up my user apps, they were all preserved after the flash, all contacts and S Notes etc... accounts...

What modem have you found works best wirth Wind? I installed the UVLG3modemfori717 from tomlin's 2nd post and works fine. Haven't tried the famous test4.zip :) or ics blaze...

Charging my battery to do the calibration after flash...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alicklee:
I would do a full wipe just to,clear everything but if that works,then that good but I found that was also a problem at first as well. I figure clean install would have no problems from the old rom and radio.

As for best radio I say the uvlg3 modem for i717 world best I had tried both tests and had blaze for a while.

But let Me know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alicklee:
Strange thing happen this morning I had rebooted my.phone and now the network will only work in hsdpa. Odd well going to try voice call and see if dub speak will happen

tomin:

could up toss up a guide on how you got DAGr's rom to work properly?

i flashed that rom, then i tried the boot.img you posted and it wouldn't boot.

i did another wipe, reflash and then just restored my boot partition from my nandroid and it still didn't

boot.

the steps are simple enough, inject/flash the stock tmo boot.img after you flash an att rom. but i couldn't get it to

work with either DAGr's rom or the Blackstar rom, the two roms known to work using this method.

i'd love to give a miui rom a chance or something super slimmed down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Yeah, I posted the guide a few pages up, I'll look for it and put it in post 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] javip:
Thanks for the instructions.

I was able to get DAGr8s king kang aokp working fine.

I followed the instructions perfectly before as well but with non aokp roms. Maybe that was the key.

Thanks again tomin!

Aokp+pa is awesomness :)

my results

so far, after 2 days of testing, all I can see is that my battery drains in less than 12 hrs

of normal usage. But when I leave it in flight mode overnight the battery drops only by 5%.

So, it must be my Wind because I had somilar experience with my Nokia which now lasts 7 days with kids playing games on it.

I guess, due to the weak Wind signal... Thinking of getting Koodo or Virgin when

good deal comes. Mobilicity would also drain the battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] recepo1:
Im on a tmobile note and i want to flash an akop at&t rom i read the instructions but how would i get back into odin from revocery to flash the tmobile boot img after flashing the rom? I flashed the rom and in recovery i just took out the battery and put it back in and tried to power up into download mode but it wouldnt work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] tomin.fhl:
Make sure you have the USB cable connected.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] recepo1:
Gracias
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] javip:
recepo:

The easiest way is to flash the rom then restore just the boot part from your stock nandroid backup. Then flash the latest TMo radio last.

I tested about 4 aosp/aokp roms and they all worked. I couldn't get any other source types to work.

Flash restoring the boot partition lowers your flashing time considerably as you can download multiple roms to your phone for testing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] recepo1:
Ok thanks i didnt flash the radio but did flash the latest jellybean aokp rom and restored my boot image and it didnt boot but will try again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] illest_one_7777:
Can u make a thread on which ROMs work with this method that you have used? IM currently running Blackstar and have been itching to find a ROM which allows me to run the Android data files from the external sd card. I'm feinding for some flashing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] javip:
i posted in another thread which roms i tested. just do a search for my current posts.

recepo:

one thing i forgot to mention is that jb roms don't work yet. i tried like two i think and neither booted. i leave each rom about 10 minutes after the boot screen to make sure if it's booted or not since you won't see anything. like for instance the aokp boot ani doesn't show.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] nark0117:
what to choose under ODIN.

tomin.fhl

Thank you for great collection.

This may sound dumb, but when we go back to stock recovery using Recovery.img per post 1.b., under odin do we choose "PDA" or "BOOTLOADER" ???

I currently have T879 with CWM, need to revert back to stock recovery in order to perform OTA.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thank you.

in calgary on mobilicity with stock gb rom on the att note with blaze radio im getting 2mbs download and 1 up

yesterday i was get 0.2 dl and it was horrible, and now its pretty quick in comparison, mobilicity is slow to begin with.

i'll try this radio and post my updates
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] dutchschultz:
ok changed to the radio for i717 you posted here, and still i717 stock gb rom and getting .2 dl right away i'll leave it for a day and see where we are tom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alicklee:
just give it a few days for the modem to work properly you're gonna have to let it run on data for a few times and even a few hours just do like on off data and stream radio and then it should be fine unless mobilcity just suck then it time to switch to wind lol but give it a chance to settle in,first and also I notice on reboot the phone causes the radio to connect to hspa then reconnect to hspa+ sometimes before full speed data is working again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] recepo1:
Yea i noticed that too thanks for the heads up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] dutchschultz:
It weird yeah thanks for the advice i noticed it got much faster later on. Mobility sucks but its cheap
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alicklee:
Also one other thing I have notice with the stock rom and att radio, if you are using any kind of under volt setting it causes the data to drop and go crazy on the disconnect. I was testing around the uv setting With CPU tweak and notice while trying to listen to di.fm streaming radio on my usual bus route and also at home. I beginning to think as soon as uv happens if messe with the radio. I had tried a few setting as well and as soon as any uv happen it does it. So anyone of you out there uv having the same problem if so can you confirm this issue ? Thank just wanted to put this out there for the rest of you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Lvnlegendinc:
Hi... If i want to flash back thru CWM to another att rom on my i717 can i just flash it.

Are you getting data drops or dub step sounding calls
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] nbog:
sometimes

sometimes - strange thing is that it looks to me like an "aging" process - first few days were bad but now its getting better. Or maybe that was just bad timing with wind network
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alicklee:
Have you tired with the mod.att modem I been using that and other then the so.call warm up to hspa+ process I been getting good speed.

IM in Vancouver myself and on wind.

IM just a few blocks from you.

Speed test at Burrard and Smith

. also I notice with the blaze modem its seen to connect to a WInd tower from back east. Everytime I would do a speed test it always shows me closest to Toronto. With the AT&T mod modem in,post #1 it connect to the tower closest to me on Vancouver as you can see form the picture I have posted and also the speeds are good one it does it warm up it starts using hspa+ how you can tell is when your doing something like streaming radio just do *#0011# and it should show you something like in my 3rd picture where the hsupa and hspa+ has 1 besides it then your on hspa+ if the hsdpa has a 1 then your just on hspa slow connection

Hope that helps

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] mad212:
Installed this last night on my i717 and it seems to have made a significant difference on my data coverage and speed. I was ready to give up the idea of using this phone on t-mobile. I found a great deal on a T879 and am supposed to pick it up after work but if it falls through I wont be as disapppointed now.

Can I flash any of the t879 custom roms on the i717?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alicklee:
You should be able too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] mad212:
So has anyone tried this on any other i717 roms besides DAGr8's cm9? I ended dumping the i717 yesterday and picked up a t879 on craigslist. I'm currently running the paranoid android jb rom and its great but I'm a flash freak and I'm missing all of the rom options I had with the i717.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Christogq:
Well I'm stuck now. It loaded up and showed me T-Mobile stuff, but now it's just sitting at the Samsung screen with the pulsing letters. It's been there for about 10 minutes now. Did I brick it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] illest_one_7777:
I once had a similar issue and it was due to a corrupt ROM download. Download the ROM again with a reliable connection and place it on the sdcard/external sd and see of you can back into recovery. Wipe everything system, factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache just to be sure and then flash ROM again. Good luck

Looking Forward to Getting Started

Hi tomin.fhl and All,

I looked over the thread several times and it is a bit confusing can someone help me get through this process please. I just got my AT&T Note last night which is unlocked and using it on T-Mobile network. It is NOT Rooted and I have not connected to my computer at all yet.

Can someone tell me do I root it with ATT root instruction or T-Mobile root instruction? Model # SAMSUNG -SGH-i717, Android version 2.3.6, Baseband version I717UCLA1, Kernel version 2.6.35.11, Build # GINGERBREAD.UCLA1

Sorry for being such a Noob... :confused:

And which threads can I pick Roms from?

Thank you in advance. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] illest_one_7777:
Well for one if you have an att galaxy note you must root thru that method. From my understanding the instructions are almost the same except for how to reach download mode. 2ND the ROM you should be flashing depends on choice. If you want to use on att you should use one of there proper radio. If you would like to use I. TMobile use a TMobile radio and boot.img

Question

Looked through the thread and really did see anyone ask but when I click the link to download the Odin CWM touch recovery from post 1 it takes me to cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 file which says its for I717 and I have T879... I Know there the same phone internally but is this the right file to flash for the T879?? If you have the Tmobile version T879 and have used this file please respond. Thanks.

Edit: never mind it works..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Alicklee:
Just wondering is there any plan for the radio to be upgraded or modded for better connection time. I would like not to wait up to 5 to 8 hours for it to work fully on my i717 note. It would be nice for that,to happen :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] zizux:
I tried this last night and had to restore to stock AT&T Firmware. I would like to try it again.

Just to make sure I have this right:

Flash tmob-system.img

re-enter flash mode before letting it boot all the way (I think I messed this up)

Flash t-mob-stock-boot.img (Or is there another boot image I should use?)

Reflash Recovery then boot into it and flash the modem

Reboot and you should have a working device for tmobile

It was pretending to boot but then would just sit at the samsung logo forever. I gave it like 30 min so I'm thinking I must have screwed up something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Xelstyle:
That tutorial only requires you to flash 3 things:

tmob-system.img

t-mob-stock-boot.img

------

And in CWM, flash modem

Don't know where the reflash recovery part is coming from.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] zizux:
It was my assumption that the tmob-system.img replaced the CWM but I guess it doesn't.

I'll have to try it again. Any suggestions if it gets stuck at the samsung logo?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] CJ225:
followed the steps in the op to flash on the 717 everything seems to go good but it just sits on the glowing samsung logo..it does glow though and the animations show before that...not sure what Im doing wrong...Are both the stock image and boot image flashed from the pda section in odin?
