Yeah, I'm trying to restore mine from a mis-flash from the N7100. Anything that might help out would be great!

Got mine back up and running and started installing my stuff again.....A font installer program is the one that burned me. Now I have the backup I have no fear :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sniperleader:
Would anyone be willing to make a CWM backup that I could restore? I am unable to install TWRP.

Willing to donate. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] llsektorll:
Me too. I will donate to anyone who will put up a CWM backup of their Note II ATT/Rogers ROM

I only got a twrp back up of rogers stock :/ but if twrp would flash via Odin you should be good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
K how do I get this working could someone spoon feed me?.. So wut I'm tryna do is download the file to my s3 through xda app then I switch my sdcard card to my note then what sorry I'm such an idiot.... And a big big thanks to turilo and all the nice people here at xda...

Edit... What would be the backup folders name to put the back up in?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sniperleader:
From what I understand we have the international version installed, which changes the Modem and Kernal

We have to wait for someone to either give us a ODIN flashable tar or maybe CWM?

We can't use the international version because of the way it handles the modem from my understanding.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyhawk1983:
correct .. someone would either have to crack the code of a brand new phone using it as a dummy phone not caring to brick it if they mess up ... but yes someone has to do a system dump and put all the files back where they go .. pretty much like deviding a hay-stack from small pieces to big pieces .. it takes time of which file goes where

Check out post #74 :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] turilo:
For rogers sghi317m-- ok hopefully you have an external sd card from your phone that you can connect to pc. First extract that .rar so its a folder, connect the external sd card to the pc, make a folder on root of external card called TWRP then another folder inside that one called BACKUPS and inside backups place the Original.ROM.TWRP.NoRoot.NoApps folder in there! so like this TWRP/BACKUPS/Original.ROM.TWRP.NoRoot.NoApps now put the card back in the phone boot into twrp and click restore then click use external SD, and hopefully it sees that Original.ROM.TWRP.NoRoot.NoApps then flash away! let me know m8

Sign of relief! phew! :D

I could able to get the bars now and did my first phone call to my better half but needed to check what are the versions from an existing AT&T Note 2. The current image from OKA1 shows are

Model No - SAMSUNG-SGH-I317

Android Version - 4.1.1

Baseband Version - I317UCALI6

Kernel Version - 3.0.31-143071 se.infra@SEP-96 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Sep 11

Build No - JR003C.I317UCALI6

Can anyone confirm if these are the same as the new Note 2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sniperleader:
How did you do it? Did you use the dump through ODIN?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rameshgk:
Yes, I downloaded the full ODIN TAR image from the link posted by OKA1 - http://d-h.st/K8Q

Used ODIN 3.04 to flash

If there is a verification error, try renaming the file by stripping of the md5 in the last

Did a Factory Reset

Done!

Currently I am trying to install the TWRP but seem to be not able to do it from ODIN as it is crashing on my Win7 when I click on start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] turilo:
use goo manager from market to instal twrp :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sniperleader:
Yay! I got it back working, S note keeps crashing, but I will be thankful that I have a working phone now and just wait for an official rom to come out.

I will throw together a post about the steps I had to take to get it back working for anyone else that went through the headache that I did.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rameshgk:
Great, Thanks!

I used the dump from malinois16 and got back most of the versions up to date and normal except for the modem version on I317UCALI6 instead of I317UCALJ2 (not sure if this is the modem version).

sniperleader, the new dump fixed the issues with S Note as well.

Thanks to malinois16, timmyhawk1983, turilo and antiochasylum

I will try to closely monitor the threads for the newer modem for now. :)

Oh my god this thread saved my Note 2. I idiotically installed Chainfire 3D and ended up soft bricking it. Spent ages looking for the stock rom and found it here. Downloading now! :D

Edit: It didn't work at first but stripping the md5 at the end did. It's installing on Odin!!! IT'S ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING NOW!! :D

Alright, just finished installing the stock rom. I can't get data to work, and S-Pen is crashing as reported before. Any solutions or do we just play the waiting game? :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] demock:
does everything work? rameshgk said his mobile data wasn't working. how did you fix it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] turilo:
There should be a rogers system dump coming soon hopefully! What recovery are you currently using?

You try wipe caches? Add your apn settings, link is few posts up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] akaNeel:
Just tried that, and phew, what a relief. Got everything from S Pen to LTE working. This thread was a life saver. Within 36 hours of the phone I had already managed to screw it up. Thanks guys :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rameshgk:
Hi akaNeel, How did u get the LTE working. I tried all settings but could not able to get it to work. I am still stuck at getting the data connection and thinking that it must be the old modem version I317UCALI6 that is causing the issue.

What is your baseband version on the phone - I317UCALI6 or I317UCALJ2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] akaNeel:
I317UCALI6 is my baseband. I used Odin and downloaded the kernel and modem file from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1883823

Put the kernel file in the CSC part and the modem file in the PDA part and flash! If it says error, remove the md5 from the extensions and try again. Working just like before for me! I rerooted and everything and 0 problems. :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rameshgk:
No luck, My entire build is on I317UCALI6 but cannot able to connect to mobile data. however i see that I did not get the S Note errors which I got earlier because I did not update the Kernel at that time.

Are you using AT&T or Rogers?

I tried putting the SIM on my old captivate and seem to not get the mobile data in that phone as well. Must be something wrong with my sim card or network connection.

My phone comes mid next week, somewhat on Nov 14th-15th. I'll do it when I'll put my hand on the device.

All I need to do is to root it and install CWM, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sniperleader:
I had that as well, I just ended up flashing the modem (from ATT). From my understanding it loops like that if something isn't correct like the modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
Yes it will work. The phones are identical.

Wrong, a modem will not cause a boot loop. It will only show as unknown on the base band and you won't have signal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sniperleader:
I do not get mobile data either, I'm downloading the kernel/modem from above and seeing if that works.

Yup! After a Modem/Kernel flash I'm back to 100% stock, and everything is functional.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sniperleader:
This should answer your question :) just put them both in their respective places and hit start!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
There are way to many of you guys already breaking your device.

If you are un-experienced at modding I have to say leave the device alone. As there is not a 100% survival method.

12 pages of help and people trying to get their device back?

I finished de-odexing the system files and flashed it to my device. I'm going to post it up hopefully today.

Crap, I too made the same mistake by installing "revolution rom for n-7100", I didn't think of a good idea to back up my stuff.

But I did say when installing the revo HD rom to backup my efs thing...

Is there then something i could do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rameshgk:
Try doing the Kernel (CSC) and Modem (PDA) first and then the full ODIN image (PDA). Not sure of the error though but I tried this for multiple times. Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DanKicker:
wait.. what?

Sorry to ask for this, I really feel like a newb, but it is what it is.

If I,m stuck on a rom that was made for N-7100, Is there any way I can install new files so at least mobile network will be back ON again?

Just got i317m from Rogers (2 days aheah "the plan").

Does some1 still stock ROM?

If so, all I need to do is:

1. root

2. install CWM

3. from CWM back ROM.

Right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZedZardoz:
Thats a good start. Once you have your basline Stock ROM backed up, you are free to play. Once you have tested a candidate ROM, make another recovery backup to preserve your new position. It would be helpful to move/store these backups on you Ext SD card or better yet to your computer.:good:

Another step would be an App level backup tool like Titanium. Then you won't have to re-do your Angry Birds after every flash, just reload your Titanium for the app you want your "preserved data".:)

The Stock i317m TAR is an ODIN level re-flash that can return you to true Stock, just like when you first powered on your Rogers Stock ROM. Eventually Samsung will post these but there are many examples of folks with phones not fully operational because they jumped without building their safety net first.:crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cottageboy:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] billy938292:
What is difference between I317UCALJ2 I317UCALI6. My Galaxy note 2 At&T came with I317UCALJ2 but then due to rooting and unrooting I couldn't remove CWM recovery from it. So one of the good fellow here recommended flashing using ODIN and use stock firmware

https://www.hotfile.com/dl/179166171/402ce90/ATT_I317_STOCK.rar.html

It worked fine and removed CWM recovery sucessfully from at&t galaxy note 2. But now I have baseband of I317UCALI6 instead of I317UCALJ2.

Does that matter? If yes is their anything that is not going to work for me? I see data and s pen working fine. Also do you think their will be release of stock rom based on I317UCALJ2. Why samsung dont offer these stock rom? I try connecting to Keis also but it tells me phone is not supported or dont need upgrade firmware. I was thinking may be keis will automatically put back I317UCALJ2.

Also I want to mention that i got 2 Conters in downloading mode. Not sure if i have to reroot use triangle away and then flash to stock rom to get rid of them incase I want OTA or need to return the phone in future.

Hi! I am in love with AOKP, however I am experinecing some trouble in games such as fruit ninja, air hockey etc..

The swipe doesn't go continous, as if it drops sensing my touch for .1 - .2 seconds.

I play these games on other devices too and so the difference is very much noticable.

Is it a hardware problem? Do you guys game? and have any such problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike86325:
Hey, after a few searches, I know this has been brought up elsewhere, but I'm just looking for updates.

I just changed over to handcent so I can have emojis, but now I'm realizing that the app doesn't work with one of my favorite features: the lock screen shortcut notification for sms/mms messages. What I'm looking for is some way that when you swipe that circle with the unread count for sms that it brings you to handcent (or whatever other 3rd party sms app) instead of the stock messaging app. I figure there has to be a way..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
You're talking about on ICS TW(Stock setup) right? I don't believe that would be able to be done without a MOD of some sort.

I think you can do what you want, with a bit of a different look, using something like widget locker or some other lockscreen replacement app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike86325:
Thanks for the reply. Yea, ICS TW for now (synergy to be exact, not that it matters in this case). I really like the stock setup for the lockscteen, but I'll check out widget locker. I guess the best solution would be if someone made emojis work on rooted stock, but I'm not sure how much work that entails. I've only seen it available on AOSP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
GoSms also has emoji support. But you'll run into the same issue with the lock screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm having trouble visualizing what you're both talking about, however I haven't used Synergy. Are y'all talking about the four lockscreen shortcuts or a widget on the lock screen in addition to the lockscreen shortcuts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrPeter1985:
If you talking about the missed sms count to swipe to the left, dunno.

As for the sms icon/app you can change it under shortcuts where you toggle it on and off, you can click it and change it to your sms program.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Yeah, the OP wants to change where the missed message count brings him when he swipes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike86325:
Long shot, but is there an ASOP messaging app we can use? And would that be able to be recognized as "stock"? I know ASOP has a mod for emojis

I did this on my old RAZR so maybe it's similar. What I did was rename the stock MMS to .bak then moved my preferred MMS app to system/app folder and renamed it to the stock MMS rebooted and it worked. Worth a shot, I'm on eclipse or I'd try it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Solar257:
I have an inverted version of the stock MMS app (4.0.4-eng.tvap624.20120702.011632) and I can say that the notification that pops up on the stock lockscreen is unique to the Samsung mms app. This means notifications using any other mms app will not show up as a swipable event on the stock lockscreen. Inverted stock is a great version of the mms app. I just renamed secmms.apk (I believe) with .bak, put in the new app, renamed it as the original, set permissions, and rebooted. I have emoji support and messages on an all black background. It's nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike86325:
thanks for the info. where did you get the inverted stock mms app? does it work 100%? I think this will be the best option for me since handcent has been slow and crashing. is the emoji support complete ios6?

Hi everyone, first than nothing, English its not my native language so please try to understand what I want to focus on this threat...

As we now, the Nexus 4 will be available this 13th/nov. and tons of people are getting ready to buy this beauty and powerful device having on mind the sweet price of it.

However, many developers already has the preview release version in their hands, and they share with us in videos their experience with this device, but something its getting me nervous, many of them are saying that the battery isn't enough, the black crystal its too fragile, no LTE (IDK), a washed-out screen, etc etc, we all know the "issues" with this device but, you guys think that when the official release version get available this "issues" will disappear?

I really like this device, but I can't understand why the hell so many bad reviews...

I'm counting the seconds for the moment that I can buy this thing... and I really hope that Google kick the asses of The Verge/Engadget etc...

NOTE: Look at this video and let me know what do you think about this "new leak" of PhotoSphere...

Make sure to read that thread before you buy! ;)

Pretty much with the reviews coming in about the battery life, overheating, poor benchmarks those could all be explained by the fact that those review units aren't the final versions we will get.

But either way... wait to purchase the phone if you're unsure you could live with the issues above and let the early adopters either confirm or deny the issues before purchasing so you don't wind up with a restocking fee if you're in the U.S.
