Thanks again

Thanks for reply. That is really all I was asking. That is if anyone had used these Roms. Someone has to try it. I'm grateful you did. This gives me some confidence. On a side note. I purchased this phone from a gentleman off Craig's list. He assured me that he had requested the code from att. But of course. I have not heard back from him. So, just on the outside chance....I called them this morning to ask if I might be able to check on the progress of the request. They ran me around in circles providing information they said they needed to check on it with. In the end. They told me I would have to wait six months. I told them I would just do it the other way...He knew what I meant and went in to some spool about how some software would not work any longer? I hung up. There kinda crappy about it..Lol. Oh well...be home tomorrow..

Can't turn on wifi.

Hey there!

I have a Canadian Telus Note 2 and have flashed the 4.3 December 2013 image. Unfortunately i wasn't able to turn on wifi. Does anyone know what would be the issue? I made sure I wiped everything (including) internal, before flashing it.

Ok. So I get home today and eager to flash. But now the pc is giving me the device id \driver problem. So I wish to ask this. Can I flash from mobile odin? Also, unless I am missing it. I do not see Md5 attached to these files. Is that correct? Or am I missing it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
Uninstalled all drivers. Reinstalled. Finally drivers get installed. But Odin does not recognize phone. Hit volume up anyway just to see what happens. Bam, ow I have a com port. Flashed. Everything went well. Thanks all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
I said I would post..So in case anyone ants to know. On the att at least. Used mobile Odin to go back to 4.1.2...no problem. And I'm sorry I missed the md5 checksum the other day when I was looking. Of course they are there. Can not use more for 4.3 though. Will brick. Thank you Mr Robinson for your work here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] menbaosusu:
Wait...you're telling me you can downgrade back to 4.1.2 from 4.3 on i317m variant??? I know that the AT&T version, ppl can downgrade with no problem and the method doesn't work with i317m.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old faithful:
No it means you can downgrade from 4.1 .2 to 4.1 .1 and then unlock your phone, at least with the Bell ROM.

However what you're telling me here is worrisome... it would mean that since Android 4.3 you can't downgrade anymore? One more reason why I am suspicious of upgrades :mad:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] stevenca:
Thank you very much , this post made downgrading and unlocking my Galaxy Note 2 I317M so easy! (by making it so easy to find 4.1.1 and than 4.1.2 again , amazing)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
If I wanted to go back to a stock Bell V4.3 without root from this rooted V4.3 can anyone tell me how I would do this?

Would I be able to dirty flash the stock release using Odin on PC or would I have to wipe and then flash the stock using Odin?

I notice that Odin V3.09 has some different boxes then V3.07 so not sure which ones to pick if I did this.

I take it that I can not go back to rooted V4.1.2 after flashing this V4.3 due to Knox?

The reason I bring this up is cause I have been having issues with onandroid backup not fininishing, it hangs doing data backup and also it appears I am getting sd card problems. Sometimes my phone seems so slow now.

Please if anyone can provide guidance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eddie_Brock:
I completely wiped my phone and flashed the Rogers root firmware, and I'm happy to report everything is working great. Not to talk bad about anyone, but this is working much better than another well-reputed alternative that just didn't stay rooted for me.

Thanks again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TayzGpa:
As soon as the AT&T version hits, I'll be downloading and installing. Running MrRobinsons 4.1.2 now and it runs great!

hey i rooted some time back and i cant get the counter back to zero. i use triangle away and it works but when i reboot it goes back to 1.

how can i fix this?

i woulnt mind starting over and going back to stock unrooted. im still on 4.1.2 btw

Sometimes the counter trips if you are using an external memory card.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Please can anyone give me any info as to how I can go back to stock V4.3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eddie_Brock:
Connect your phone to your pc with the usb cable, and run Kies (download it from the Samsung site if you don't have it), and request a firmware update from within the program. It may state that you already have the latest version, but then ask if you want to flash it anyway... select this option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Thank you. Can I also use Odin if I have the stock non-rooted V4.3 rom?

I imagine I also need to wipe data and reset phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eddie_Brock:
Yes, Odin will do the job too. There is more risk with Odin if you're not very familiar with it. Double, triple check that your firmware matches your device and carrier, and that the kernel and baseband haven't changed either.

I've always been able to recover from a soft brick with Odin and the correct files, but caution is still advised.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Ah, so is best to use Kies I assume. I just want to see if phone runs better stock as mine appears quite slow. Mind you, I have a lot of stuff on it now.

I should factory wipe and reset prior to flashing the stock non-rooted firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] razzrmaxx:
Hi everyone I'm new to the Samsungs galaxy s2, I have a few questions if anyone can help me, I have a ATT SGH-L317 running 4.3 and I would like to root, unlock the bootloader, and run a SIM unlock to use this phone on t-mobile and maybe metro PC, do you guys recommend flashing this method all the way back to 4.1.1-2 to achive my goal? Or I'm I on the road to bricking my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
Note2

Raz, your in the wrong forum..These are for note2. Just being nice..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] razzrmaxx:
That's just my nickname I do have the Galaxy Note 2 I317
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
ok

That's fine. You mean your Sig said your new to the s2? Anyway, its fine. I used these Roms to downgrade to 4.1.1, unlocked..and then went back to 4.1.2....Everything worked great. I'm staying on 4.1.2 until official Kk. That is if?..Fingers crossed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] razzrmaxx:
Oh ok, so it is ok to flash 4.1.1 being on 4.3 already without bircking
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
Hold on

Whoa, hold on. Didn't say that. I was on 4.1.2 and downgraded. However I suggest you go back a few posts and read or read it all. I believe there is a post here where someone said they did. But, check it all out. Then decide for yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] razzrmaxx:
Thanks for sharing, I successfuly flashed back from stock 4.3 to 4.1.2 using this method, now i'm off to flash 4.1.1 to be able to sim unlock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
lol

Yes, you found it..lol

Hello mrRobinson

I am wondering if you would consider create a stock root injected from the up coming KK 4.4.2 update.

I am sure many of users like me out there would benefit from it.

Thank you so much for your great works and contributions in the pass.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eddie_Brock:
I'm sure once it's been released, he'll be all over it. Don't expect to see carrier-specific roms for a couple months yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Slap-Yourself :):
Not to bring up an old thread. But I've come to realize I hate the most recent update, and want to root. I've followed these instructions to the T and I get a "failed" message every time. What am I doing wrong? ATT Note 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eddie_Brock:
Looks like the 4.4 update just dropped for Rogers and Bell... can we expect to see some rooted versions soon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarienA:
very wrong thread... sorry please delete.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
You'll see them....within hours now I'm sure...

Just watch the development threads....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eddie_Brock:
Am I the only one interested in trying an official pre-rooted 4.4 rom? Seems like it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cryingmoose:
I was also. But I got impatient and just flashed stock image from sammobile and then flashed cf-auto root
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eddie_Brock:
I didn't have much luck with CF autoroot on 4.3, however I am willing to give it a try.

I'm tired of this "software update available" screen showing up every three hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
If you have a att version. Will that even be possible? From what I read. The kk update is patches to 4.3. My son has a i747 s3. What I have read so far on thier forums is the roms the devs have come up with are bricking phones. Does not look good so far.. Im really starting to hate samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cryingmoose:
I can't speak for att. But I flashed the stock 4.4 from sammobile directly over from the bell 4.3 image(dec 2013 one in OP). Lost root initially, but not my apps(expect supersu).

Used cf-auto root, then had to reinstall supersu from the play store.

Supersu then set up root though normal install and disabled Knox.

I used titanium backup to freeze everything else that had the word Knox in it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
I understand. You guys are lucky to be on bell. Perhaps I should say Im starting to hate att too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] toronto309:
i am also interested in finding a pre-rooted 4.4 rom. any idea?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimaginet:
Me too, I am interested in Rogers root injected 4.4 stock rom. Please create one for us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
I'll work on one, no guarantee I can get it to work still. they tend to keep locking this down... Would be after next week though so 07/14
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] balance101:
hi guys,

great thread, so after 4.4.2 any rooting method will trip knox counter?

I'm on bell stock kitkat 4.4.2

I miss my root apps in jelly bean ;(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Correct Sir...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
?

Does that include towelroot? I read it trips vzw n2. But I thought it was good on att?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
No guarantees. ...

It's using a similar exploit. ..and with the enhanced bootloader we are using now. ..it will most likely trip. .

Either way. ..If a user decides to change the recovery to flash anything....it trips...And most folks want a custom recovery to run backups and flash files...

The loaders for 4.3 and 4.4 containing Knox have a "very" likely chance of tripping. ..

Flasher beware. ..

Edit:

Was on the phone with mobile tech videos yesterday. ..

The tech and I had a great discussion about Knox and bootloader revert etcetera. .

He put it this way. ..

If you root a note 2 with 4.3 or 4.4...you're gonna trip. ..regardless of carrier...and he also said that Verizon devices are his #1 device getting fixed due to bootloader issues and revert requests..

Maybe towel is different. ..But I don't think it is. ..

I'm learning right along with you here. ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pckarma112:
Yep

Yep. Im aware of flashing a cusrom recovery will definitely trip it. As I was saying though. I have read postive comments about towel not tripping. Then there are some who say it has. As your saying. Depends on the bl and device.

Either way we are responsible for what happens to our device. Ive never seen any dev who does not post a warning. Its the chance we take with our phones. If your afraid of the heat. Dont go in the kitchen...

Please help @@@ to keep unlocked

Downgrade to 4.1.1 and get sim unlocked with *#197328640# method.

Want to upgrade to 4.3 root rom or 4.4.2 stock.

Any risk to get locked?

How can I upgrade to 4.3 or 4.4.2? Safest way is Odin 3.07?

Thx in advance!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] soleil10:
Flashed 4.1.1 from previous 4.4.2 (stock) for unlock. Got unlocked and boot loader NF1. How can I get upgrade? Thx.

Hey mrRobinson,

I just sent you a pm. I'll be on this shortly, sorry I didn't try sooner, last couple weeks been crazy and I haven't checked xda.

Will let you know how it goes.

Thanks!

Don't think it leaves you with root. Might have a fix Monday

Just thought i'd put my two cents in... After trying the upgrade, I got 4.4.2 running but I don't have root access...

how do I go back to 4.3???

Omg, thank you MrRobinson. I've been looking for this firmware for over an hour and finally found a link that worked for my AT&T Note 2. I need to unlock my phone but mine is on 4.4.2 kitkat. Thanks a lot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jun3280:
Hi there, just out of curiosity - did this endeavor stop at 4.3? Or is the Rogers 4.4.2 root that was posted in September working (doesn't trip KNOX)? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Bump...to keep this resource on top...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ST4321:
Can I still flash the 4.3 version without any problems if I already updated the phone to 4.4.2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Flashing the prior bootloader image will soft brick after flash. ..you'd be better off using Zen Arcades 4.3 stock rom as it does not contain a bootloader image.

It will flash perfectly with the 4.4 loader ..g

Use the rogers that has the csc. Not sure if heimdall works on mac. might need to find a windows pc. The ota updates typically squash the permissions on su. So you can use ota rootkeeper to preserve root through an ota update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] med-:
okay where can i find the root keeper and one last thing do i need to backup or change any settings on the phone before rooting it? and what if anything happens and i get stuck or it bricks is there a stock one that i could flash or something. thank you again much appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
this would recover you the same as stock would. if something goes wrong you'll still be able to get into download mode and try again. the ota rootkeeper is in the play store. this will not wipe data so you don't need to back anything up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xdeathstarx:
Up and running

I just flashed the Rogers "csc" on I317M for Rogers Note 2 I just received last week. Installed perfectly. It crashed S-Note in first boot up but no issues since.

It is a beautiful thing. Thanks for the work so far. I can not wait to see where the development goes from here. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] med-:
I just flashed it I'm having trouble dialling up this code how to u enter letters? and when i entered the numbers for those letters it ran something but without success. And I'm having trouble with the S note it keeps saying unfortunately s note has stopped. also the LTE is not working anymore and it doesn't say rogers. update: aslo the keyboard doesnt open all the time and lost my contacts and apps keep crashing and the system is lagging. one thing i forgot to mention after the reboot was done it said failed verify whole-file signature signature verfication failed and i chose reboot and the phone rebooted with those things happening to it. for some reason the keyboard is greyed out and it doesn't open can you please tell me where i can flash a stock one of rogers without root. thank you!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] med-:
I already flashed back to normal it works perfect again, no lag and s note and LTE are back.

does anyone know why the verification failed and thus making problems with the phone and if so is there a way to fix it or an alternative stock+root? basically all im looking for is just root no other modifications.

thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] med-:
did you get a verification failure after reboot or it just worked right away?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
ok so something is going on with the csc one. I'll have to look into more. but xdeathstarx seemed to be fine after a reboot while med- seemed to have constant little issues.

and you don't have to flash back to stock you can just flash the download I have that doesn't have the 'csc' in the file name. that is un-modified stock just with the root injected. The csc one is the attempt to correctly set the Rogers csc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
also can you dial this code *#272*IMEI# and see if you have Rogers csc it would have RWC selected by default.

Fixed. dbz clarify below.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbzgod:
The IMEI part of the dialer code means you must enter your IMEI number, you can find it behind your battery or on your box, or dial *#06# to view your IMEI ignore the /01 or /02 part that comes after it, its not needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] med-:
i flashed stock then i thought i should give it another try i flashed the one without the csc works perfectly. Keyboard is back, no lag, LTE back, S note works and even it selects rogers so this one is perfect. thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabesh:
I had the same issue. Signature verification failed when I flashed the CSC version. I then flashed the non-CSC version and all is good. Data wasn't wiped during the whole process.

But I am still unable to check for software updates. When I click on update, I see "Checking for software updates.." and remains that way: Never finishes checking. Hence, this flash wasn't really beneficial to me (prior to this, I had stock, rooted via the CF auto root method, and had the same issue - so nothing's changed).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] med-:
I never rooted via CF and my status says normal check yours. Also when i check for updates it tells me the latest updates have already been installed so its definitely the CF that changed something. cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
Well I'm uploading an attempt at ODIN flashable ATT stock rom now.

The reason why I say attempt is because the file supplied by me was packaged up differently than I normally see. I took apart the separate files, root injected the system.img and then put them back into one tar.md5 that we are used to flashing with ODIN. So to ensure this works someone will have to try flashing this with ODIN and report back.

This attempt is made possible by an image supplied by Kirbo20. Please thank him for his time and attempt regardless of whether this ends up working or not.

If someone can flash it with odin and report back, much appreciated.
