[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
I thought as long as you were on stock recovery you were all set - you'll be unrooted after the OTA, but you can just reroot. I may be wrong, but that is what I understood. It's why I haven't gone to CWM or the other one yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
When you request a software update, what does it say? Does it say latest installed, or do you get any sort of error?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
No errors, it just says there's none available at this time and the phone will automatically check again in 48 hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
That would then lead me to believe OTA will work. But we still have others saying it won't. Hmmmmmm....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
I guess it's different results for some if you are able to check for software update while rooted. Others may need to use triangle away and unroot for it to work.

I guess you'll find out either way. One thing that I am wondering is if your counter has raised despite using stock recovery, since I THINK cf-auto root installs cwm while rooting and then restores stock recovery. If you boot into recovery, do you see the yellow triangle?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chainfire:
CF-Auto-Root itself triggers the counter, you need to run Triangle Away afterwards to reset it.

CF-Auto-Root however does *not* install or run CWM. That doesn't even make any sense to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
No triangle, because I used Triangle Away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
Ok, I thought that in order to root, you had to install su through custom recovery and then it flashed stock recovery back. So what I meant was in the process, install cwm(not when it finishes), I guess not. I guess cf-auto just adds su files or something similar. New to all of this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chainfire:
CF-Auto-Root does install su through a modified recovery (CF-Auto-Root). That still has nothing at all to do with CWM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
Ok so it's exactly like how I thought (process), but it's not cwm/twrp that is used, rather your own/other custom recovery/modified stock, in which case its then replaced by stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chainfire:
I have updated all the CF-Auto-Root downloads. The scripts have been slightly improved, the roboto font is now used, and SuperSU has been updated to v0.98 !

There is no need to flash the updated version if you are currently successfully rooted (you'll have gotten the latest SuperSU from Google Play updates already).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] steenbuilder:
This is such an easy way to root! It's especially user friendly. Thanks for the great work! However, I have one question. My dad also got a note 2 and un installed supersu. How would I go about fixing it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ctruong17:
Stock Recovery

I downloaded ROM MANAGER (and even paid for the premium) to download CWM Recovery. It says it flashes just fine but when I go into recovery it's the stock recovery...any tips on how to solve this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
If you want cwm, you could flash the cwm recovery for i317. Here's the thread where you can download it:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I have a Rogers (I317M) note II, I haven't done this yet but I was wondering is there a way to unroot? Are there any stock firmwares I could use to return the phone back to factory condition after?

My main concern is how root will affect OTA updates.

Thanks for any help, the Samsung world seems pretty overwhelming, it was much simpler on my older phone :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] turilo:
I'm also with Rogers and have already fully unrooted and returned my first note 2 with them with no issues, and yes there is stock Rogers fw released by Samsung
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
There's an unroot method posted in this thread somewhere, search or read through the thread (preferred, you'll learn a lot) - it's only 16 pages :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gucci.Nexus:
i have the SGH-i317m Telus model. i want to use ODIN to flash TWRP. Is there a LTE Canadian .tar version of TWRP that works? If so, can you please tell me where? The reason I don't want to install from Goo Manager, is because that requires root. I want to make a clean backup of my stock unrooted rom before I start messing around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bradxnght:
so i rooted my girlfriends note 2, and installed CleanROM on it, for some reason i uninstalled TWRP, so its rooted, on scotts rom and stock recovery, can i start with triangle away and continue from that step?

and this will bring my device back to stock even tho i have a custom rom installed on there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jee'sgalaxy:
So I cant find the answer to this anywhere. People say that triangle away should be used on i317 designed ROM. If you use triangle away on a att note 2 with a ported international ROM, it may bork or hard brick the phone. I thought I should post this in the Q&A, but then again, this is developmental question... but does anyone know if this is a fact or opinion?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] royalh:
I don't think anyone wants to risk hard bricking their phone to find out for sure....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeIII:
So, I maybe deciding to finally root my Note 2. Of course I will be backing up my data but will this root method wipe the device?

No

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gillion:
Take my advice.

Do not risk using triangle away on anything but pure stock.

You have been warned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeIII:
Just so I know. After using this method of rooting and not installing any other ROMS or Recovery or Kernals, just pure stock. What is the best way to unroot after using his method? TIA

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] braddman:
I'm assuming it still works, but on galaxynote2root a couple of people have failed, not sure if it has anything to do with the update. My phone is on backorder so maybe by the time I have it in a week or so there will be an answer here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
It works fine, I updated to 4.1.2 and rerooted with this tool. Go for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnabgibeht:
Thanks. I see you helping mskip over at the toolkit thread. Maybe ill wait to see I can root using the toolkit instead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
I just gave him the boot files he wanted, I'm sure he'll get things fixed up soon :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tangmu:
Does this leave all your settings, apps, data, etc. intact? Or do you have to restore everything after rooting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
Doesn't touch any of that, it just grants you root access :)

Just got my Note 2. It updated to 4.1.2 and I wanna root. I got it into Download mode, Plugged it into my PC and nothing happens. I run the Odin3 program and it says 0 succeeded 0 failed. It doesn't do anything. It just sicks on a screen that says "Downloading..... Do Not Turn Off target!!""

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjstep3:
I "upgraded" to the Italian version of ICS, as I couldn't wait for the real thing. Mistake - terrible battery drain has made it unusable.

So now I want to go back to Honeycomb. After half a day's effort, I managed to root my Tab, and have installed CWM. I have a copy of the UK firmware v3.2, but how to install it? Where do I put the copy of the ROM - on root of the folder structure I suppose? What do I have to wipe first before flashing with CWM? I say this because trying to install HC from Odin did not work and led to a reboot loop.

Of course, some kind soul here may be able to recommend a functioning ICS ROM instead ...

Otherwise, how do I get back to stock Honeycomb?

TIA

All stock roms from sumsung, based on Android 4.0.4 suffer from battery drain ! So flash stock Android 3.2 rom via odin OR install this custom Rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1813651

- Android 4.0.4 (modified in the best way ! )

- battery drains 3% per 18 hours - the best battery drain since last year ;)

- completely everything works as in stock samsung rom

- pretty fast (faster than stock Samsung rom based on android 4.0.4)

- flash A1 kernel v1.7 via CWM 5.5.0.5 mode ! (or battery will drain up to 10%) from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1833136

Install:

1. Boot the tab and copy downloaded archives to internal memory:

* A1-p4-1.7-3G and JellyBeanRomICS v7 XWLP5 GT-P7500

2. Reboot in CWM

3. Wipe data / Wipe cash

4. Advanced - Wipe Dalvic Cash

5. Go back - Mounts and storages - format System, Preloads, Data, Cash (ALL data will be lost !)

6. Go back - install zip - choose zip one by one, flash rom first then A1 kernel

and only after then reboot.

Enjoy :o
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjstep3:
thanks for the recommendation of ROM - I'm going to try it now!

One question: does it have to be CWM 5.5.0.5 - mine loaded is 5.8.3.1?

Update: I used my CWM and everything seems to be on OK: thanks for the suggestion and the instructions - really appreciated from someone who doesn't know an awful lot about these things. I'm going to have fun testing this ROM over the next few days and, if it has stopped the battery drain, that means one fewer gadget for the cellar!

what rom did you use when you try it??

cause i think it depends on the kernel version or rom

its also kernel specific. if ur roms kernel supports vpn etc, then u can install from playstore.

try using it by changing another rom

.ko(kernal object ) file is related to kernals only, located in lib/modules inside linux machine.

They are like drivers.

Well i was using official cm7.

But you can try mebitek's cm7 too.

I'm using latest cm7 by mebitek but it says its not compatible???

Try using squadzone old cm7 rc5.6.(if you have it)

Otherwise official cm7.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meatlikeproduct:
I am on a family data plan and after upgrading to the S3 from my nexus (broken) I lost my unlimited plan and was shoved down to 2GB. The other three phones on my account are unlimited and honestly there is no reason for these three family members to even be using smartphones. Don't tell them I said that. Is there any way to get an unlimited plan back under my number? Verizon says no but I need to hear it from one of you guys. I could switch two sims and then have an unlimited plan with my S3 correct? Could I then go through some steps to change those numbers back to what they were originally for that phone? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ummduh:
Google voice number? Only way i can see it working is by losing your current number.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luke1987:
Might be difficult since your number is registered to shared data plan on Verizon's end . Could you just swap plan (number)? You are right about phone info being stored on sim card though. Someone more knowledgeable will have to give definitive answer.... I'm interested in what you figure out, will you let us know?

Edit. Swap plan/number with family number..if nothing pans out with Verizon you may be able to drop your shared plan, port number to Google voice, pick up another shared plan and swap that plan with family member. Than you could keep your number and get unlimited data back. That would be expensive(breaking contract and establishing new plan), but if you use enough data it may pay for itself down the road

[Nexus 7 Accessories] tamanaco:
Is that stand a separated piece?... (Never mind... I just saw the video) I like the case, but I'd want a built-in kickstand... Very promising minimalistic approach. I'd be happy with a skeleton case like the one shown with a built-in kickstand and separated invisible screen shield.

EDIT: Short of having a built-in plastic kickstand... can a separated (detachable) stand be made mostly of plastic with metal where it needs to be attached to the back of the case. Also if the stand was fold-able or made with a hinge so that it can be easily placed in a pocket or attached magnetically (flat) to the back of the case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] zapro:
There is absolutely NO components inside the Nexus that could be affected, other than the compass chip, which in itself is non-ferrous, so it won't be damaged even by the most powerfull magnet you could come up with. The only ferrous parts in the Nexus is the shielding cans and the mounts for the USB connector.

So you can place whatever magnets on the Nexus without any chance of damage.

And a couple posts back someone basically said the deal breaker for them was no built in kickstand. There is no one reason it failed other than we didn't help enough with the startup.
