[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
I could post but let me be clear. There are exactly two files different from pure stock here. /system/app/Superuser.apk and /system/xbin/su

If you open Supersu and tell it to remove root and uninstall you are 100% stock. There is zero difference. So quite a waste to put up another 700+mb file for 2 files that total maybe 1mb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
This DID reset everything to pure stock. The only thing you would want to do is wipe data. This doesn't touch your data partition so to completely factory reset simply boot into the stock recovery. Do a factory/full wipe, then flash this. If you have already flashed this then simply do the wipe in the recovery and I'll guarantee learning hub starts working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbzgod:
Posted a fix and reason why you've been locked out of learning hub in the Q and A thread you've posted in. Its explains how it happened and how to avoid it again. If all else fails then a wipe and reflash of Robbinsons rooted injected rom would be the next thing to do.

Sent from my SGH-I317M
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] vincedoggy:
I already posted the problem in QandA but no solution yet. Will try this then report so others can avoid thus happen. Thx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
What dbzgod posted is a solution. To simplify, if you flash what is in this OP and no custom recovery with a data wipe you will not be modified and the apps will work. if you are coming from modified then just clear data in the apps as he said and you'll be fine as well.

As an aside, all the canadian variants root injection are up. Just waiting on ATT now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] scourge18a:
Just curious then if this also includes the stock recovery?

I have CWM installed now and would need stock recovery if I am to fully return yo stock.

Thanks in advance. Really appreciate your work and time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] turilo:
Nice work Mr Robinson :D:thumbup::thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
Yes. This is full stock. Kernel, recovery, bootloader, modem, system,etc.

odin is not recognizing my phone, any suggestions? Im using parallels with windows 8 on my mac. Ive used windows 7 successfully before. Any thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukic:
Did you try using heimdall?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] outkast22:
Ive never used it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
try reinstalling drivers from samsung. try running odin as admin and in compatibility mode for xp or win7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cohdee:
I flashed the ATT image several times with Odin 3.07, and I had to wipe data each time because it hung on boot. Each time after I was able to get in, I had SuperSU, but no apps could request root. I read through all of the posts on this thread, and it looked like no one else had this problem. However, when I flashed it using Odin 1.85, it seemed to work fine. No hanging or wiping data necessary. I thought I would post this here in case anyone else ran in to the same issue! I'm curious to know if anyone else has ran into this issue.. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] swampy67:
I tried rooting my phone and after Odin passed successfully I got in a boot loop. Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wiser212:
Same thing. Passed odin successfully but hangs on Samsung logo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkawa6:
Device status will still say modified tho...well, at least my phone's device status still says that after doing so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] malinois16:
Boot into stock recovert and factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
Miscellaneous Files section at bottom of the OP I posted a CWM flashable OTA update for the I317UCALJ2 to UCALK7. Modified to preserve root and your non-stock recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkawa6:
any chance that we will see an odin flashable image or stock recovery flashable update for us who want to keep stock recovery and have 4.1.2? thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Birdsfan:
I second that question and or if I go back to the previous software version that's posted and go no further so that updates will still be available will I be prompted again to download 4.1.2?

Thanks. weird.

Edit: can anyone confirm this? Not that I don't trust you, it's just a different device and even with how similar all samsung devices can be, they can also be very different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
Confirmed. they disabled the jig a while back. before the GS3, sometime during the GS2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gixxerfreak:
Can someone please confirm if the Rogers image still gives BMC as csc?

Is dialing *#272*IMEI# the only way to change the csc from BMC ro RWC? I really don't want to wipe my phone now...

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Optimuscle:
Are the modems updated in the newest firmwares or is that same as last?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
for the latest OTA for ATT it looks like the modem is the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] forchellam:
Hi mrRobinson, has the issue with the SGH-i317M being BMC been fixed to RWC now? (For the Rogers version)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
I haven't had time to try to manually fix their stock files yet. So you'd still have to flash and then enter the code to change your csc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSUtigers03:
I'm wondering this as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
I apologize if this has been covered already. I just got a galaxy Note II on Bell, V4.1.1.

I would like to have Root but if I try this will it nuke my installed apps etc and I will have to set up phone again?

Does this allow for updates to OS and other apps from Samsung or Bell?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSUtigers03:
You won't lose anything on the phone and you'll still get ota's as long as you don't replace the stock recovery. If you install an ota update you'll lose root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
thanks so much for the reply and info.

So, if there are updates to OS, you lose root as it is a different rom, correct? A new update is expected soon I think to V4.1.1 on Bell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSUtigers03:
Yes OTA updates remove root privileges. There's an app in the Play store called OTA RootKeeper. Sometimes it can restore root privileges after an OTA update but sometimes it doesn't work. I'm on 4.1.1 and I really want to download the AT&T 4.1.2 OTA for multiview but I don't want to lose root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gucci.Nexus:
flash counter

i returned my device to stock and unrooted. i was getting to addicted to flashing roms. i successfully reset the flash counter, and device status now says 'normal.'

i have one game that i backed up using titanium backup. i forgot to restore the game before i began the unroot, reset flash counter procedure.

can someone please give me their opinion? If I now root (using the toolkit) so that I can restore the game, and then reset flash counter and unroot, will my device still say 'normal'? Or, is a factory reset required, even though I am not flashing a custom recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSUtigers03:
If you root using the method in the op and you don't flash a custom recovery then the flash counter shouldn't need to be reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Thanks for the info re: app.

Well, I am hoping that someone will release a V4.1.2 rom with root but no trip counter. Take care
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gucci.Nexus:
1) Can you receive OTA if you are rooted?

2) If rooted, will device status say modified?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSUtigers03:
If you keep the stock recovery you'll still receive OTA's.

I'm rooted and my system status still says official.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Already answered
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Okay, so if I flash this rom, I can take updates but will need to root again, should an updated rom be available by kind author of this thread? As long as I do not change recovery from stock. I may attempt to flash this.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSUtigers03:
I'm not sure if rootkeeper will work so I've been postponing the 4.1.2 ota. It's kind of annoying but its not that big of a deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
There are other ROM in official att thread which is non-us rom converted to work on att and it is 4.1.2. You don't loose your root but you have to install custom recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
I would like to keep my phone as stock as possible but want root. MrRobinson's rom seems like the one. Is there any advantage to others with custom recovery?

If Bell hasn't as yet released V4.1.2 would there be any negative effects in using a modded ATT rom? Oh never mind. I need a rom for Bell Mobility Canada.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ratchetjaw:
One thing I noticed seems once you use custom recovery you lose the ability to reliably use allshare
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gixxerfreak:
mrRobinson, can you please tell me what the disadvantage is for not changing the csc to your original provider?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] WorldIRC:
Mr. Robinson

Samsung Canada will be releasing 4.1.2 this week for Bell / Rogers / TELUS.

Will there be a clean upgrade path for those of us using your stock rooted ROM without having to wipe? What do you recommend?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
If everything is working fine I'm not sure there is a disadvantage. I know instead of getting Rogers intended bloatware you'd get Bell's. But as far as functionality not sure anything.

If it comes as a full rom you could re-odin the full easy. if it is only an OTA and you've not modified system you could use something like the OTA rootkeeper app to preserve root through the process. Or if you have a non stock recovery I can make the OTA flashable with cwm or twrp and that will preserve root as well.

Nothing will require a wipe unless you mess up ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] WorldIRC:
Using stock recovery with your rooted stock ROM -- so OTA will be safe as long as I use a rootkeeper. I know SuperSU has an OTA rootkeeper built in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ratchetjaw:
I am using your stock rooted ROM on my daily driver Note. I am wanting to keep allshare working so using the stock recovery and kernel. Whats the best way to get the multi view update and keel root? Do you by chance have a root injected tar for Odin for that one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Prolab:
This is weird. I followed the instruction within the thread and followed using the ODIN process. I have a stock Rogers ROM/stock recovery but when i check on my phone for updates - it says:

Did i do something wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LSUtigers03:
If you update to 4.1.2 let me know if rootkeeper restores your root privileges. I'm too worried about losing root to update and try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dickmorgan:
hey i loading this image,

everything worked fine in odin and it said successful, however i am stuck on the samsung boot screen and the phone doesn't get passed that...

any ideas??

btw im on AT&T and used the mirror 1 image.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sqb:
Good day Mr Robinson I too have gotten stuck at Samsung splash. first thank you for all your hard work. Second this is for my wife's note 2 not my original in sig. I had already done the ota to k7 before doing any of this. Tried mirror one got through att splash looped on Samsung. Tried mirror two and got the same. Re downloaded all required packages and drivers. Each time (even run as administrator) odin finding and "pass"ing each time. When I pull the battery to stop loop I can even plug back into a wall charger while off and it recognizes and charges. I don't want to get myself too jacked since I can get download no problem still. Any thoughts or tips you might have would be greatly appreciated!

edit: forgot to try going into recovery manually and factory reset. Worked like a charm. Thanks again for sharing your hard work! Sorry for cluttering your thread

Too many posts to read to quickly find answer.

I am looking to Root my AT&T Note II SGH-1317

The links in the very first post of this thread. Are they for the multi-view Jellybean 4.1.2?

Thank you for the assistance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ratchetjaw:
No they are for 4.1.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NJRonbo:
Thank You.

I was just able to root my phone using instructions found here:

http://www.samsungupdate.com/tag/root-sgh-i317-att

I used the ODIN and Rooting file linked from that page.

So, that successfully rooted my phone. I suppose that I did not need the files in this thread after all and just wondered what the advantage would be of using them, if they were compatible with 4.1.2?

Thanks again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ratchetjaw:
You're welcome. Glad you got it rooted. I didn't check the link but the main advantage with this one was it keeps it in the unmodified state from what I can tell

Edit: checked the link I used that method on my grey Note 2 and no issues. Just raised my flash counter. Can use triangle away to try and reset it

Mr Robinson, are you kidding or serious?

I did not mean for you to take on more work. I was sort of joking, but it would be fan-tabulous of you.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

So does this mean that I will not have the Bell Bloatware but will have Rogers?

Is there any way this can be fixed or no?

And BTW, what is Mobile Odin? Is it something you install on the phone itself? Someone had mentioned it and curious.

Mr R, does this rom install a custom Recovery? Just cause I notice this from page 1:

De-Bloater

If you've made it this far with a stock, rooted phone with CWM or TWRP and you don't want to flash a custom rom (which will do its own de-bloating) you can check out my mrRobinson Note II De-Bloater to easily get rid of bloat system apps you no longer want to see. Simply flash in CWM or TWRP like anything else and you will be presented with a menu system to choose what to remove. If you are unsure it is safe to pick Minimal and still get a decent de-bloat.

Miscellaneous Files

CWM/TWRP Flashable OTA Update: I took the stock I317UCALK7 update.zip that was posted by reinbeau (thanks!) and simply made it flashable with a non-stock recovery preserving root through the process. I see nothing in here that would wipe data but did not test it myself.

Download: root66_OTA_I317_UCALJ2_to_UCALK7.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] digitalallstar:
The question I have is, is anyone else getting having this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
everyone will. I posted the files above. in csc/common were rogers files. Which means no matter which csc is set on your phone you'll be getting those rogers files.

Now if the csc were being set to rogers, I wouldn't like that but it looks like the sales code file is correctly set for BMC which is for Bell.

So I'd say just remove the bloatware or freeze it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
I already posted Rogers and Bell. Telus will be up shortly. Sasktel and virgin prob tmr.

You'll get the things in common i posted above and I guess anything in the BMC section which is:

Yes install on phone. can flash root66 with it.

this is pure stock, no custom recovery. install goo manager after rooted to install TWRP. (if you want) then with custom recovery you can flash the de-bloater etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Canadoc:
mobile odin is an app.

It allows you to flash firmware on your phone like you do from a pc using Odin.

It has a feature that injects root and keeps it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
It says you need Root to use it so how can I use it to flash to root66 if I do not have root as yet? Or am I mistaken again?I'll read up on Mobile Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Canadoc:
The point was to use mobile odin to update your rooted stock rom.

You can always go back......
