I"m going to be rooting Monday, I see in the first post, it mentions using triangle away and links to the post that you can download triangle away. There are 2 files, can someone tell me where the file that is not the APK goes? Sorry if this sounds stupid, I've flashed many many roms but I don't see any instructions on that thread. I asked there but they just said I'm stupid :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplelife:
TA is an App , download TA 2.37. Apk use my file to install or can get pay version to support Dev on play store.

BTW , don't feel bad buddy. They don't even know what they talking about that why they act like that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SkyPhone:
You don't need it. The instructions are there, but only in the FAQ - what to do if you have a particular problem.

"- After using Triangle Away I get no bootscreen at all or an error message on screen ?

Try flashing the attached "param.tar" as PDA in ODIN (no repartition!), that may clear up the issue. Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100 ONLY"

Don't feel bad, I had trouble finding it, too. :)

I just installed this. It's great - Thanks! As a new user, here's my comments:

The hardest step was getting the USB drivers installed. I installed USB drivers with SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1655286

There's a link to TA on the OP, but I never saw the triangle. Some research seemed to say that you won't see the triangle if you have a custom recovery, which we do - cwm. I presume that its only value would be to reduce the count of custom flashes if you need to go back for warranty. I installed it and tested it any way. It installed fine, but it still leaves the flash count at 1 and the status as "Modified" (as expected) so I don't think it's needed unless you are going back to stock, or have flashed often and want the flash count at 1. It won't put it back to 0 or fix the status.

I wasn't sure if /efs is backed up with the nandroid backup that the cwm recovery can create. Research came up with both yes and no answers, but I figured another method of backing up only /efs wouldn't be in the OP if the cwm backup did it, so I installed and ran that backup and the cwm backup. Both went well. I noticed that the linked method of backing up /efs uses adb. I wasn't sure if we needed adb insecure, but apparently not, as it went well. Presumably that's because the adb command is via su?

I installed my favorite AdAway ad blocking software and made my backups and I'm happy!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplelife:

You should try again with precaution .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bizill:
Please forgive my IGNORANCE. I thought this would allow for unhindered OTA update checks? My status shows me as "modified" and wouldn't check for updates because my phone is "modified". I ran the Triangle program listed in OP and reset to see what would happen. Phone now attempts to search for an update but searches forever and I have to cancel out. Status still shows as "modified".

Did I mess up? Root works fine, of course. Love this phone and this place!

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

Disregard. My ignorance caused me to post in the wrong thread. That, and the beers I got in me. Probably not a good idea to mess with rooting and such whilst inebriated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplelife:
No problem , since you here :

Follow up on this... Does unrooting reset you to factory? Is there a way to simply unroot without the hassle of full wipe? Noob when it comes to Samsung. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplelife:
If you on custom rom you need flash stock firmware to get back to stock.

If you only root with CR-root then go to SuperSU / setting / full unroot . Triangle Away app to reset counter .

If you root included CWM then go head reroot with CF-root ( this will bring you back stock recovery ) then proceed step above to get full unroot.

Can't get into download mode

Just got my phone today and I already hate the damn T-Mobile boot screen.

Anyways I came from the Vibrant (SGH-T959) and I rooted it myself but for some reason I can't get into download mode with the Note 2.

I've tried the Home + Down Key + Power nothing.

I've tried the Home + Up Key + Power...nothing

I've tried turning USB debugging mode on and off + Home + Down Key + Power and I still get nothing.

I don't think I'm that stupid as I've tried the Home + Down Key + Power 4 times over and I still get nothing.

I've tried it with ODIN running and with ODIN not running.

I've tried it with a different mico USB cable and still got nothing.

My Home/Down/Power key's do work.

BTW I have the device fully powered down when trying any of these options ie soft menu and pulling the battery.

Before you boot phone into download mode or recovery you need turn off power first.

So, I have been trying all day to get ODIN to connect to my new GN2, but have run into the same problem that several others in this thread have had. I can't seem to find a conclusion after reading through this thread as well as searching the whole forum.

Basically, I have followed all the steps to a T, and yet I cannot get din to recognize my phone in download mode. I downloaded Kies and installed the drivers. I can connect just fine to Odin and kies as well as explorer while the phone is on, but as soon as I boot into download mode, nothing shows up in Odin.

From what I have read it seems some people are saying to reload the drivers. How do I find the old drivers and make sure they are all uninstalled?

Thanks for any help

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

This is exactly what is happening except for the error beep. I have uninstalled everything I can think of and have downloaded and installed the drivers from the link above, but still nothing happens when I am in download mode. Everything works fine when I am booted (usb storage access, odin, etc.) but nothing happens in download mode. I have worked at this for hours now, and I am just getting so extremely frustrated because this should be easy.

Hi!

Is there someone knows of there a application is for my question:

Is there a application thats can set for a in-call a notification with sound and for a notification for whatsapp only vibrate and that for a couple of applications who gives a notifications.

My phone, Sensation, Isn't rooted!
[HTC Sensation] dabwoy:
Theres arent application to give you notifications. You can customize notification icons if your savvy enough but it would definitely require rooting your phone. Sound profiles can be set through system settings and application specifics. Hit thanks if i helped and try searching more if you didnt already. Odds are someone on here is experiencing the same thing as you
[HTC Sensation] anasmunir:

Hope I'm not breaking any rules here, as I'm an XDA noob and I sort of have that "lost sheep" feeling whilst I walk about..

But it appears that a recent ICS/JB leak for the Atrix 4G has more or less revived development for it, making me blow the dust off of my old Atrix and wanting to experiment. It's a little difficult to tell what is stable sometimes, as all ROM posts don't exactly provide a "this works" and "this does NOT work" kind of detail.

Is there a stable JB ROM at the moment?

Good chances are there aren't, and if so, is there a stable ICS ROM I can toy with?

Assuming there aren't fully-functional ROMs for either, what's the best GB ROM out for the Atrix?

Hoping I don't get yelled at for being a noob, but I appreciate any help I get. Thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debt collector:
There are stable JB ROMs out there. I'm using epinters cm10 which is running nicely although there's no hardware acceleration so the camera is a bit laggy and you're not able to use the camcorder.

As for best GB ROM anything based on cm7 is great. I thk most people would say MROM is the best out there currently. I haven't used it but you could give that a try. I was using topsmarts GB up until a few days ago which was the best GB ROM I've used in terms of speed and battery life. Currently using epinters cm10 :D
