[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AllTheWay:
It won't work if the device is modified in any way. Best is to just root the device install TWRP and then when a new OTA is released just wait a couple of days for for somebody to zip up the file and flash it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kiwinadians:
Sorry Chainfire,

I realized I dropped the ball after asking you to post the .tar of your rooted stock recovery. I wasn't available for a few days. I see you got things sussed anyway. Many Thanks for your hard work on all our behalfs.

EDIT: Just tried Triangle-Away from Play Store... works like a charm. I'm running CWM, so still display a modified flash counter, but went from 3, to 1. So I can confirm it works splendidly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabesh:
Thx, worked perfectly for me. I purchased Triangle away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rocket42:
All rooted and ready to go!! Piece-o-cake. Thank you very much for ALL of your Awesome work.

EDIT: .just an FYI. I came from Note1 and i had the version of Odin already on PC and the Note1 drivers worked just fine. so, easier than easy seeing as i just needed the tar

Thank you!

I have tried this method but upon reboot it goes back to twrp, how do I get rid of the recovery and go back to stock recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jkpdon:
I rooted and did Triangle way and i still Device Status = Modified.

Where do you verify if flash counter is 0 now. i believe Device status should be Original correct

How do you put it back phone to original where its not rooted and nothing modified.!!! Do you have to have original stock backedup. i dont have anything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Auto-Root worked great! How do you flash TWRP? Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 9wire:
Goo.im app, menu/ install open recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cottageboy:
im in the same boat...need original (i guess)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabesh:
In the same boat.

After root, before Triangle Away:

Keeps checking, but never finishes checking:

Still in modified status.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] d.cortez:
did you perform a factory reset? if not, try that and then check device status. i'm assuming you have the factory recovery installed as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cottageboy:
when I do a factory reset it restarts in twrp and not samsung recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] d.cortez:
that's why your device shows modified; you're using TWRP. If you're trying to return to a completely stock setup - where device status is Normal - you have to have the stock recovery installed, not TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cottageboy:
fair enough...How do I get stock recovery back? i'm currently rooted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Dude, I mentioned in another thread that you have to ODIN a stock .Tar for your carrier and that will set you completely back to stock, unrooted with stock recovery. I literally just did it to my Galaxy S III that I just sold on ebay. It works!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] d.cortez:
did you complete step #2 from my post? if yes, then that would have re-installed the stock recovery. if you did and it didn't install the stock recovery, then i'm not sure what the solution is. maybe try repeating the steps in my post? hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabesh:
Thx, it's actually not an issue for me. Just relaying info to help. But yes, I didn't install CWM or TWRP. The Root in this thread is the only Mod I've made. Will try the Factory Reset when time permits.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cottageboy:
I appreciate the help guys and I am a little confused.

My steps:

Rogers note 2

used odin and flashed cwm recovery (worked fine) and I had root

I then installed goo manager and installed twrp (it worked perfect) There is nothing wrong with my phone.

I made a complete backup before I installed anything other then goo manager so (stock with root)

I have now developed a problem with my bluetooth and rogers is sending me a replacement, so I am trying to go back to stock

I used triangle away and reset my counter (that worked perfect)

I then rebooted to TWRP recovery and did a factory reset and when I reboot back into recovery TWRP is still there and I was expecting original recovery?

not sure what to do at this point? I dont have original .tar for odin

Is there another way for me to do this?

Thanks for your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabesh:
Thx for the steps!

Done!

Follow those directions......This is actually the same link I directed you to in the other thread ;) You usually have to use the stock recovery and factory reset after doing this because of a potential boot loop you may encounter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cottageboy:
does it matter that its an att file that you quoted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] d.cortez:
did you try the steps in post #51? I've done this 3 times on 3 different devices and they were restored to stock configuration with Device Status=Normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
ok I didnt notice that. I appologize :) Are you planning on returning the phone? I will try to find a stock rogers .tar for you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] turilo:
I can post a stock rogers recovery tar give me a sec

EDIT: here you go stock rogers recovery http://db.tt/eAXARJ0f
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cottageboy:
ok, well I did the steps over again and I think I have it. Device says normal but my trip counter is 1, is that ok to return it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wire-frame:
It would depend on the guy that will be receiving the unit back from you.. if he checks the counter or not ...thats why u had to use the triangle away before resetting the phone)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cottageboy:
ok, got it worked out, the root of my problem (no pun intended) was I restored to an original stock rom that I saved but i forgot that I had changed the kernel. And just like triangle away says "if you dont have stock kernal it can increment the counter" yup, that was happening. after following the steps outlined above, got it working in 5 min. flat, thanks to all helped.:highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jkpdon:
thanks cortez

let me make sure here. i only rooted and not installed any other stuff. how can i put if back to original stock? do i still need to follow your steps 1 to 9.

if yes where do i get twrp to install. i did triangle away and my counter is set to 0 but device status is modified little weird. i am not returning device but my tethering goal isnt completed so i want to goto normal stock.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

If i flash stock tar would it take care of unroot and reset counter to 0 and device status to normal? I would prefer that actually. Where's the link for ATT stock tar

Thanks very much my droid friends.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] d.cortez:
@jkpdown - you didn't mention if you used CF's method to root your phone. if you used CF's method, then completing steps 3-8 should return your device to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jkpdon:
yes cortez i did rooted with CF-auto root and already did step 4/5 now i guess just need to do step 6 to 8 since dont want to return but still debating should i get white or keep grey!! damn hard decision to make.

one more things where do you download apps without googleplay.

Thank you thank you thank you this method worked like a champ!

Reason for un-root flash count clear is becuse there is hardware issue exchage will take place.

For those having issue getting method to work here is what my toy has been through since release day.

Activity that took place before cortez clear count method.

1:Chainfire root.

2:TWRP install.

3:TWRP recovery back up

4:hehe my first TWRP custom rom flash - Modded I317_N7105ZHALJ4 MultiWindow Control

5:TWRP Flashed att kernel to work with Modded rom.

6:Enjoyed me some multi view for a day :)

7: Restored TWRP backup

8:TWRP Flashed CleanROM Lite Edition v1 used for a couple days< SWEET ROM! but very sad developer decided to return device went back to Verizon :(

After all that I gave cortez un-root method a go and it worked flash count clear :D

EDIT ADDING:

how do i backup my rom with this?? i hold volup, middle and power button but there is no back up rom setting like in some youtube videos i watch for custom ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
This only roots your phone. You then have to install cwm or twrp recovery. Once you have your recovery flashed, then you can press volume up+home+power.

I would recommend doing lots more research before touching your note 2. If you get stuck, many peeps on here are friendly and willing to help :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] he11bringer:
i did try to install teh cwm but it keeps saying failed even though i did the take out battery thing, is there like a specific cwm i need to use just because of the sgh-l317m??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
Yes there's a cwm for i317 version. You can use odin to flash cf-auto root, once you rooted your phone, you can download goo manager from play store, and you can install twrp from that program. If you want cwm, turilo posted bunch of useful links for download including cwm for i317 in this thread:

Then reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache too,

reboot, open play store and log in, all should be well!

CANNOT change ROM's from Telus to Bell

Hi,

I'd like to flash Bell's stock firmware on my Telus SGH-I317M.

1. I'm rooted using CF's method and TWRP installed

2. I have downloaded Bell's firmware from Sammobile

3. I did (successfully) flash the "I317MVLALJ2_I317MOYAALJ2_I317MVLALJ2_HOME.tar .md5 " file using Odin BUT after reboot the firmware still shows as Telus', the modem is still Telus' - basically no (visible) changes whatsoever.

4. Currently there is no version of Bell's stock ROM, flashable from recovery (I assume I should wipe the current system files from within the recovery, in order to be able to start fresh and then continue installing the "zip" version of the stock ROM from within recovery) - but then again, a zip file is not yet available.

Is there any way to actually do that BEFORE somebody repacks the existing "*tar.md5" file into a "*.zip" file?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Update:

This is really weird: I figured I would use Mobile Odin Pro since it has the ability to also wipe clean data/cache/Dalvik, so:

1. I used the above tar.md5 file (Bell)

2. Before flashing I opted for wiping data/cache/Dalvik cache

3. The flashing process went through nice and smoothly, no hiccups

but guess what?...the firmware is still Telus. I'm puzzled. I am very much aware of the fact that the firmwares for the 3 Canadian companies are the same, but what about the modem and the specific files? No matter what I do, I just can't get rid of this Telus ROM.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] C.Flat:
Maybe there's a code on your device that identifies it as a telus unit. I remember it said installing apps when I first turned mine on

I'm saying this because there is someone from another thread who complained of rogers bloat being on every ROM he tried to install install on his Rogers purchased device

The CWM recovery for the AT&T Note II?

This is the one I used.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nacos:
You'll find the recovery and much more in this section, however, as far as the recovery goes, I would highly recommend TWRP. I used myself the CWM for a very long time and I have to admit I only installed TWRP because at the time there was no CWM available for our device but having used TWRP since, I know what I've missed. Hope this helps.

It means its rooted now, restart your phone and look for the application called SuperSU...

or you can check with application available in Play Store >> Root Checker

This will confirm if your phone is rooted or not.

Also, now you got new CMW Recovery

Root checker just keeps checking status. Super SU says fail :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kat0072:
Did you received any confirmation message to Grant/Deny when you launched Root Checker after installation ??

Else go to SuperSU application which is already installed and check if RootChecker added in the APPS list. If yes click on it and change the Access level to Grant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] proper158:
no, I do not see the grant or deny dialog box or any apps in super user. Any ideas on what I should do? another route checker app told me that I do not have root access.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThaiM:
Just wondering... So from what I gather, OTA won't work for those rooting with CF-Auto-Root because it trips the counter. But yellow triangle app will reset that counter back to 0. So then the device status will be recognized as "normal". So with that said, OTA updates should work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
I believe you still need to have stock recovery and unrooted for ota to work. There's a great step by step someone posted that shows how to get back to stock and status normal.
