again i warn you that you can't ota update after this, but getting rid of rogers bloatware through titanium backup was much more worth it for me for the time being :d.

Perhaps you can tell me this, are there any ota updates out of the box? Or is it updated already?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kiwinadians:
Would you recommend this root process, or do you think it best to wait for mskip to post an update to add 317 support to his tools? I have rooted many an android tablet, but have never had to deal with a phone before. Why no OTA updates after achieving root? I noticed people passing their #1234# on, does this mean that we are overwriting our EFI partitions which hold some of our unique identifier number, etc. As I said, I'm not used to the phone partition structure, or the use of odin, but have spent quite a bit of time in adb and cwm.

Cheers

EDIT: Sorry, I just reread your post and noticed the quote about the 'modify flag', and then being denied OTA updates. Stupid me, I then decided to go to the source, Triangle Away, and found out it is related to the counter in a hidden boot block. Ignore basically everything I had asked, I know better than to post without searching first. Sorry.

I just got mine from Rogers today. Am with Virgin, and since Virgin is owned by Bell (or Virgin uses Bell network), I took my sim from iphone and put it in GN2 and it worked instantly.

Let me know if you need any info...

Im an anroid noob, so need to do some research before I root. I dont have ANY bloatware, so thats not an issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] WorldIRC:
You SIM unlocked your Rogers unit first....right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] savethehumans:

Hello Everyone i would like to know is it best to wait before rooting that Variant of Note 2 device

I got mine from Telus yesterday, an i try to learn a thing or 2 since i come from an Iphone.

If there's a post for newbies i would love to take a look Thanks

Thank You
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] savethehumans:
OK just so im sure....

-Reboot device to download mode

-Open odin and select downloaded file for PDA tab (cwm6-recovery-i317.tar.md5)

-Connect device to PC, and wait till device successfully added to com port

-Flash

then again

-Reboot device to download mode

-Open odin and select downloaded file for PDA tab (cwm6-root-note2.tar.md5)

-Connect device to PC, and wait till device successfully added to com port

-Flash

Then that should root and install supersu?

LMAO, I looked at 3 different root methods and now am not sure what you guys did in this thread to root your i317...and im a droid noob.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] turilo:
The second part no! Do the first part you mentioned. But put superuser97.zip in root of phone first! Then reboot into cwm vol up/home and power together then let go at boot screen. Then flash the superuser97.zip via cwm done

I'll post proper instructions tomorrow your right can be confusing for the average noob :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] savethehumans:
Thanks that worked perfect.

I did actually do the second part (before you replied) but just reflashed with recovery and all is well. ...I think. :P

Is there a good FAQ somewhere? I have looked at a couple but they seem device specific. My questions are regarding the actual root then ROMs. I would imagine that since a ROM changes the entire OS, it must change the root? Or once the stock rom is rooted, they all are? Stupid noob questions, that im sure a FAQ would answer.

Cheers, and thanks again!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CayenneGTS:
Hi turilo,

I apologize for the noob questions - I'm new to the Andriod ecosystem and I just got a Note 2 (Rogers) and have a couple of questions.

1. You rooted your device and what exactly did that accomplish? It appears you were able to get rid of the Rogers bloatware. So all the red colored Rogers app icons and software are gone? What else is the benefit of rooting your device in particular? Is it faster and the battery lasts longer? Please be as specific as you can.

2. Did your device retain all the TouchWiz and S-pen funtionality after being rooted? In other words rooting did not make your phone a pure Andriod system? I also have a Google Nexus 7 and can see differences in the OS compared to the Note 2, so I'm assuming the differences are "enhancements" (depending on your perspective ofcourse :) ) that Samsung put in.

3. As someone else mentioned, now that you will not be able to get updates OTA, does this mean that when Samsung releases the update to allow multi window or any other update for their software, you won't get that automatically? Is this not something to be concerned about? I would want to get any updates to the S-pen or TouchWiz for instance.

4. Does the above also mean that when Android 4.1.2 becomes available, you will have to update your device manually using some archane process? ie, you won't be able to do this simply from the Settings menu and click on update software?

5. Last noob question - for Andriod idiots like me (I'm a little bit techy - I jailbroke my iPhone back in the day, but would rather not root my Andriod phone unless the benefits outweigh the disadvantages - get rid of Rogers bloatware, keep the Touch Wiz and S-Pen functionality, improved battery life, faster processing etc), can you point to a link that explains how to do this for Andriod dummies?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] purplepizza:
So a ROM will have one of the available firmwares embedded. Correct? If so, then it seems possible to have a ROM that provides root access?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] st@@tz:
the root access belongs to the kernel which is part of the ROM, so yes! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] purplepizza:
I was considering JetMod to get my phone rooted. But reading the instructions it seems I need to flash using TWRP. I look at TWRP and see I need GooManager to install. GooManager provides a warning that this app is for ROOTED USERS ONLY! So it seems I need root access to flash a pre-rooted ROM. Is that correct.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
Need to know what is your phone model . Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S

you can get a rooter or a rooting kernel from My Android Collections

Tips before Flashing:-

Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM

Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card

Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>

Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC

Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
Hi all

Just wondering if anyone has a copy of the official Australian Razr M release firmware.

77.176.16.XT905.Telstra.en.AU

Always good to have a fallback system image!

Thanks in advance
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozsultan:
Hi, I am also looking for the same firmware, managed to root the phone using Motofail2go but unable to use Clockworkmod to backup or load other firmware. Now when I try to Erase the phone I get the AP Fastboot Flash Mode (s) Device is looked Boot Failure. Luckily pressing the power button gets me back to a working phone. I have also unrooted the phone using DoomLord unrooting script but still the same boot up error. I know now the bootloader is locked by Motorola, this is why I need the original Telstra firmware.

I will donate $ 20 by Paypal to anyone that posts a working 77.176.16.XT905.Telstra.en.AU firmware that I can use and fixes the boot issue.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
Out of curiosity what CWM did you try to flash?

You do know that you CAN unlock your bootloader right? exact same procedure as Razr I. Yeah the moto website doesn't mention telstra Razr M model blah blah blah it works as confirmed by Ausdroid editor in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33777574#post33777574
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozsultan:
Hi I used CWM from Google Play and selected the Motorola Photon Q from CWM, maybe a mistake but no RAZR M was listed.

I registerd on the Motorola site to get the unlock key but there is a quite a process to complete the excersice. Rather just have my stock rom back and forget about rooting for now.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
I dunno how experienced you are at this so I apologise if I'm getting mixed up here but:

a.) You will NEVER flash ANY RECOVERY aside from stock without unlocking your bootloader, and you don't flash CWM from google play (not even sure what you're referring to!!!). You CAN flash recoveries from rom manager if your bootloader is unlocked and you have root.

b.) The only recovery I've seen around the place confirmed for Razr M (unlocked bootloader) is this one

http://aosp.us/?p=294

If you think the steps in unlocking bootloader is too hard you shouldn't even attempt it. Sorry to say but thats pretty much standard stuff for flashing recoveries etc. !!!! (having drivers installed, using fastboot via command line etc.)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozsultan:
Hi Thanks for your help and comments, I have rooted my old HTC Desire using Unrevoked in the past and flashed a Cyanogen mod and a LeeDroid mod without any problems so I thought I would try the RAZR M. Maybe the boot loader was different or not locked. I was able to go into recovery mode and select the cooked zipped roms from the SD card. I can not find any roms for the Aussie RAZR M either, I guess that is what you are looking for and concerned about updating the the JB from for the Verizon version as the radio may be different.

Anyway, the Motorola UI is not so bad and I especially like to start page with the circles. Hopefully JB update will come OTA soon. I hope that the JB update will return my phone to stock and the Bootloader error does not come up anymore. All is fine for now but if I have to wipe my phone and start again I can not do it. Have you ended up using your Motorola unlock code to unlock the boot loader ?

I am not completely a newbie :eek:
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
No waiting for

- backup stock image for obvious reason!

- something to actually flash to appear!

BTW check this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33789915#post33789915 the comments from apacheo who has confirmed unlock and recovery install (TWRP though not CWM)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozsultan:
Thanks. did you mean now waiting, I guess u could mean either as apacheo has something available ? Looks like apacheo might be getting my $20 via paypal. So with the recommendation from apachio do I still have to unlock the booter. If yes, can this only be done via the Motorola site unlock code?

Will the stock Telstra image from apacheo fix my boot failure issue ? Will I need to have a rooted RAZR M and loader (TWRP) to load the file?

Thanks appreciate your help.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
You shouldn't need to unblock bootloader to push the stock image. If its stock you should be able to flash it.

The whole point of unlocking is to be able to push NON OFFICIAL stuff however not having seen that image I can't confirm. e.g. Maybe because he extracted it himself its not signed like an official moto image so you may need to unlock.

If he has extracted a fastboot image it will INCLUDE stock recovery and you flash it via fastboot command line utility. Thats better than a ROM you have to flash with a recovery because it lets you roll back even if you screw your recovery.

All in all, ask him yourself, I'm only speculating based on first principles :)

BTW android manufacturers have gotten a lot more anal since desire, and yeah back then a lot of stuff was unlocked, now pretty much only Sammy ships unlocked bootloaders. I'd say that back then you could probably unlock the bootloader pretty easily so you don't remember jumping through hoops.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apacheo:
The stock recovery img is probably not going to fix your device.. sounds like you probably need the boot image, but how'd you manage to corrupt that?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozsultan:
Hi Apacheo, thanks for the reply, my procedure was as per my first post yesterday. Using Clockworkmod Rom Manger app I picked the Motorola Photon Q for Flash Alternate Recovery as this was the only close Motorola phone to the Razr M. (MY BAD) Maybe that was the problem. I tried to back up the existing rom using Clockworkmod but again got the AP Fastboot Flashmode error.

How do I get the boot image and load that? Meanwhile I have unrooted the phone and can use it. Just can't do a factory data reset and start with a new slate if I have to. Just hangs on the AP Fastboot Flashmode (S) black and white Device is locked screen.

Thanks, I was hoping to lose that $20 to u.

Thanks Apacheo, I assume I can use RSD Lite 5.4.6.4, how to open the 10 MB RAW file ? I know RAW as a picture file from a camera. Does the 10 MB file contain the whole Telstra ROM ?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apacheo:
No idea about RSDLite, you use Fastboot to flash that, and it's a raw dump of the Recovery partition. Flash it like this:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-file.raw

The extension is irrelevant, you could equally rename it .img (which is the standard for fastboot files) but it won't make any difference. It's not the whole Telstra ROM, just the recovery partition. The whole ROM would be something like 600 mb, and as I've modified my system partition (i.e. rooted it) you may not want that, and with only 3G internet, I couldn't upload it anyway ;)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozsultan:
Hi apache, thanks again, HELP.

OK, I press vol up and vol down and press the power key at the same time. I get the menu boot load selection, availlable boot modes if I pick recovery or AP fastboot I still get back to the AP Fastboot Flashmode (s) screen Device is locked Status Code:0

I assume I get into recovery mode and use your raw file from my SD card to update the recovery partition. What am I doing wrong?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
incorrect, you flash via fastboot command line in.... fastboot mode (not recovery mode)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmydafish:
Hey,

I'm hoping to help you guys out. First I have a couple of questions.

2) are you rooted?

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apacheo:
If you have methods to recover an Australian modem IMG (instead of the Verizon-based one) then I'm all ears.. because until I find an AU modem, my phone is now completely unusable.. whoops :/
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmydafish:
We can work on this, do you have access to another AU M? Plus this may be easier via gtalk or email.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apacheo:
If I had another, I'd just root it and dd the modem image off and flash it on the broken one.. sadly I don't :(

I managed to screw it up by flashing the VZW ICS stock, so I could get the JB update on.. I deliberately didn't flash the modem from the VZW ICS stock, and I modified the JB update so it wouldn't apply any changes to the modem... but seemingly, I missed a couple of lines (checking the updater-script, I missed a couple that messed with the modem) so it's completely wrecked. Says the SIM is invalid, and won't detect or connect to any UMTS or GSM carriers here.

If someone else with a rooted Aussie RAZR M is able to step up to assist, it'd be great.
