[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonyo123:
I'M in with rooted Note and 4G - THANSK TO ALL

Okay, guys/gals I am on with Note 4G CWM recovery capable, rooted with android 4.04, and LTE Service.

Want to share with you the issues I ran into as it may help others in the future:

1) worked from Teyshablue's (THANKS) link for process and files:

2) I downloaded i717 drivers and loaded fine with “Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" coming up Device manager once I connected the Note to the PC.

3) Note in 'download mod'e and Olin with yellow port number indicated: I tried several times to inject CWM file from PDA slot but not dice. Several times it failed immediately. Others it got stuck and would not 'succeed'. I trembled each and every restart of the Note but it did reboot. After several combinations of cables and USB ports (I cannot believe this would be the sole reason), it finally succeeded (GREEN).

4) I then restarted into recovery mode (NOTE, the pictures and process say to let go of the power button while holding the volume down button - - But this is for download mode NOT recovery mode...You need to hold down both the volume up and down buttons then let go of the power button until recovery comes up) - this is basic Samsung back to my Captivate but in a new device things are always slightly different, like the download and recovery modes can be entered from an ON State

5) I did a recovery nadroid backup

6) I then loaded the ATTGalaxyNoteRootICS.zip file which I had copy to the external SD card

7) rebooted, confirmed root, and backed up again

8) played around with the Android 4.04 and so far works fast and has some nice features. So, for now, I am staying with it for a while before I go over to CM9

Now here is the interesting issue that came up (two parts):

9) no mobile data (I found a while later because I was using WiFi - by the way, nice to know that the Note had both 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ Series N capabilities which work fast on my Cisco-Linksys E4200 and newer EA4500). No 3G or 4G icons up top. I tried and tried including resetting my APN settings but mobile data did not work. I finally called AT&T.

10) I was walked throught he reprovisioning process and the service agent (who was GREAT), found that my unlimited data enterprise plan (work service but I bought the phone) would not work on LTE. She then migrated the unlitmited service and international plan to new class of service. An email from AT&T confirmed this. Trying and trying still no go with the data.

11) However, during one of the reboots I noticed a message popped up to update my security (I think it may have said credentials or password). This was in the scroll down so I selected it and it took me to the security screen. I reentered my password and as soon as I selected okay the '4G' showed up in the top information bar. The reason the security is important here is that the policies are driven down by my company and they require a password and certain minimum security features to be turned on. I think that until I re-verified the new clas of service with the new credentials it was not working. So, for anyone else with a company driven policy this is something to watch out for.

Summary:

A) use a PC direct USB port with original Note cable

B) check that you are able to get 3G/4G service, if not call AT&T and make sure that their provisioning matches the device (I would call them anyway as she adjusted the provisioning via the IMEI to match the Note)

C) if on IT policy driven setting and you get the notice to update your security, don't ignore it like I did, and make sure you reenter your security password to validate the changes in the provisioned service

THANKS AGAIN to all who helped as you made my day. :good:
