Sarge has it right if you want to use backup apps.

If you don't want to root, you will need to flash TWRP or CWR to get the custom recovery and backup. Then make a backup to your external SD card. Use recovery to factory reset. Send the phone away after removing SD card and sim card. The backup is called a nandroid and it is basically an image of the phone.

On new phone flash same recovery then restore the backup. When you start the phone it will be as the broken one was.

You can remove the recovery from the broken phone, but I never heard of anyone getting problems from the warranty people for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
Thanks both of you guys for the information. I am getting ready to do the root not only for the backup but there are quite a few apps that I want to use that require root that I am going to have to do it.

Now, I started reading tonight and the more I read the more I get confused. Is there an official guide to root the note (specifically AT&T running ICS 4.0.4 if there is a difference) in a way that I can unroot it in the future avoiding tripping any counters?

I have read so many different threads about rooting, they tend to be different so I am looking for the "current" accepted "method" to do this with decent steps if possible. Thanks much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CPA Poke:
Whoa whoa, are we forgetting about ADB Backup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
What do you mean CPA?

BTW, I want to root the stock att ics, I am not interested into flashing another rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CPA Poke:
Yeah I understand, you're wanting to do a full backup of your phone before you turn it in right? Or, at the very least, your apps and settings?

Welp, here you go: no root required.

A quick google search for "ADB backup" should get you the info you need as well.

Also looks like there's an XDA dev who came up with a much easier interface (as opposed to doing everything via command-line, which still isn't that difficult). Might be worth checking:

Edit: Read your second post, and it looks like you're interested in rooting...I guess I was confused as to your intentions after reading you first post, which just sounded like you didn't want to lose your info after doing a factory reset. Regardless, it is HIGHLY advised before doing any sort of root-related activity to do an ADB backup. That way, if anything goes wrong in the rooting process itself, or if you later decide you want to go back to stock and/or all of your original apps and settings from before the root, you can literally be back with a clean slate within a matter of minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
Thanks very much for the link. I have swapped phones already but it will be helpful before I root. THANKS!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
after looking at adb I see it would not work for my initial needs as it only can be restored to the same device. I wanted something I could do a backup in the old one and restore that backup in the new one. Anyway, since I am past that anyway I am going to give it a try in theold device.... thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CPA Poke:
The full backup, yes (regarding being able to only restore to the same device) but you could literally extract whatever data you want from the ADB backup using WinRar, then manually push it to your new device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
Apparently ADB backup is broke, it does not respect the -noshared flag and the resulting file is corrupted requiring more processing on the file for it to work... dang it! Seems it has been fixed in JB...

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28303

http://www.acertabletforum.com/foru...stem-backup-ics-only-root-not-required-2.html

and there is more if you search the net.... Now, why will they not fix it is beyond me. Ok, so the command does not respect -noshared, that is easy to fix, I can just pull my sd card out but making an otherwise broken and unusable file giving the user the false sense of security and not fixing the bug is plain wrong... The only option will be to upgrade to JB but the official upgrade is not out and knowing at&t I wont be for a bit... I am not much into flashing leaked rom although that might change in the near future...

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CPA Poke:
Well crap man, that sucks - sorry! I'm not gonna lie, I didn't read the link you posted as I'm pulling all nighters about 3 times a week during for the busy season of my profession (see my user name lol)...but you're saying that something actually went WRONG with the SDK on ICS firmware - and Google isn't fixing it?? That can't be right...right?

I can personally couch for this method, as I used it to make a full unrooted backup - of stock 4.0.4 ICS - back in October when I rooted my Note for the first time. And the first thing I did (per the rooting tutorial I was following) was verify the backup by doing a restore via ADB before I rooted - and everything worked fine. Like I said, sorry it's not working for you! Have you considered rooting, installing a custom recovery, doing a nandroid backup (and saving it someplace safe of course), then doing a full unroot back to stock + reset your flash counter? There are some great tutorials to walk you through all of that on the Galaxy Note Everything Thread in the General forum, in case that's an option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
As mentioned in my post....

Root, full backup, and unroot is the fastest method......g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CPA Poke:
But what's the point in putting things simply like that when I can write an entire paragraph saying the same thing, but more confusing??

[Thunderbolt General] mordant80:
I modified the android.policy.jar file located in /system/framework to enable volume wake on the new ICS OTA. This probably will only work if you're deodexed. I'm not going to make a flashable zip, someone else can if they want. Here's the .jar file, just replace your current android.policy.jar with this one and make sure you set the permissions on it as well. (chmod 644)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Has anyone tried to simply remove the white marks from the protective film that come with the Nexus 4, instead of buying a whole new screen cover?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsg86:
nah , i prefer get a new one, the existing one

easily peel off though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
The original one is crap. It scratches extremely easily.

Just don't use one. I have been using my Nexus 4 for 2 months now. Not a single scratch. (I use a bumper case though)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
I'm not worried about scratching the screen protector, that's the point lol. I'm worried about scratching the screen. The original is quite thick and I'm fairly sure will protect the screen quite well. However, I was given a free screen protector with a case. I may invest in a few more in case this one doesn't work though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyinghero27:
LOL I've been using no screen protector, and no case and my screen is seriously getting so many super-fine scratches
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Which is why I suggest we leave the screen film from the box on, but the white marks are annoying. Mine is still on and there are no marks on it. It's great for running your finger on too. I've certainly had far worse screen protectors. I might try a little bit of rubbing alcohol this weekend to try and remove the white marks and let you know.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
I agree. I've left mine on as well and haven't any issues so far. It's really not a bad screen protector (or whatever you want to call it). I've purchased screen protectors for other phones that scratch very easily. I did purchase some screen protectors for my Nexus 4, but haven't put them on because I like the one that came with it. It gets the job done.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
So, ill have a pop this weekend with light rubbing alcohol. It might not remove it and it definitely won't if the white is on the sticky side but if it does ill happily use this as a protector lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmike413:
I tried nail polish remover and it was a no go.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Not even a little bit? :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanh1289:
I have the back protector still and from the feel of it, it's definitely not on the adhesive side. I haven't try to remove it but I was thinking about rubbing alcohol. I think it might take quite a few tries...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
The back protector? I'm talking about the screen protector...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanh1289:
Isn't it the same material used for the makings? You're talking about to volume and power button marks? For me it's the white rectangle that has imei sticker. I peeled my imei sticker off and kept the protector.

Sent from my Blenzderz 9000
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Yes, the marks. Interesting that you think they can be removed. I will have a go with some rubbing alcohol. Might not come off though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzer500:
Rubbing alcohol doesn't work for me. I've even tried to scratch them off causing a nice patch of scratches that are more annoying to look at than the marks. Good to know nail polish doesn't work... that was going to be my next step.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatalityBoyZahy:
You can try using a white background on your homescreen :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzer500:
The patch is actually pretty small just the left half of the power symbol... I do have more screen protectors on the way anyway along with the new Rearth Hybrid case that everyone has been squealing about.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Ahhh damn they must be under the protector. Will have to buy some screen protectors
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faiz2036:
weird. can afford to buy hundred dollar phone. but cannot afford to buy $10 dollar screen protector.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Maybe the OP had to break the bank to afford the phone in the first place.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Remcotjuuh:
Isn't it just a protective film for in the box? I don't concider it as a screen protector for daily use.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
I'm from the UK. I don't work in dollars toots :)

Hmm, not really, but considering you're insinuating that I'm poor somehow, you should be careful. You're straying into the iPhone smugness region, you smug ****.

Nor do I, but you'd be surprised. Idiots like the two above you talk about their 10$ screen protector like some smug iPhone user, but 9/10 the expensive screen protectors are just cheap ones with a different label on (^^^^ ****ing mugs basically).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzer500:
Well I'm glad I still have mine on. My phone slipped of the table onto tile and what do you know this "cheap" film took any scratches from the fall. If you took the time to actually look at it, it's about as thick as any of those expensive aftermarket covers. Never said it's a permanent solution but until I replace it I think it's great.

Skezza:

The marks are actually on the surface not underneath. Although I have my patch of scratches I did remove a bit of the power symbol.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossIT:
Maybe like me I'll just go buy one when the one in the box is not working anymore. No reason to replace it if it still works

Can't figure out how either
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malnoth:
I too have been unable to remove the marks.

Does anyone have any suggestions for good but inexpensive screen protectors for the nexus 4?

I saw a decent one, but apparently it didn't cut holes for the proximity sensor.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
I dropped mine on the train the other day when I was being hassled. The £1.99 case and the screen protector took all the impact. They're just brainwashed, they think by paying £15 for a screen protector they somehow have something brilliant. 9/10 it's the same protectors as those £1 for 5 off eBay.

You mean when it's scratched?

I wouldn't suggest any of the really pricey ones. These guys, they claim that a £15 screen protector will somehow be the best thing you can buy, they do scratch, they aren't always that good and considering the price of cheap screen protectors, I just dont think they're worth it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzer500:
I just ordered some acase brand from amazon along with the new rearth hybrid fusion case. It was like a 3 pk for $4. Also have a spigen protector too. It came with a case so wasn't too bad for $20. To each their own however... all dry application protectors scratch eventually and wet app usually feel rubbery. I just follow the philosophy "If it doesn't work out try another one."
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Yeah, best way of looking at it tbh. I'm going to try the terrapin ones off ebay. They come with an applicator so they should be fairly routine to apply lol :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faiz2036:
Pity droidfag. So stingy for better SP. Lol. There a lot of SP under $10 to buy. Why u need to waste you Money to buy something to remove white mark at your stock SP. =P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
droidfag??? Do you not use Android then?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faiz2036:
Yes. I'm using android. But I'm not cheapskate to buy SP for my hundred dollar android. :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbrainsol:
Same problem here. I'm still using the stock screen "protector". I don't want to change it because i'm sure that i'll fail in applying it as neatly as the original ones. I can live with three tiny marks but not fit air bubbles and stuff like that :D

And i have loads of spare SPs...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
That's the stupid thing, hes calling me a cheapskate because i dont want air bubbles, what a retard eh?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzer500:
What I don't get is that we're being called cheapskates even though we never said we wouldn't buy a screen protector. It's not that we won't but why throw something away that is working so well right now.

As for the bubble thing I've been hearing good things about this hinge method of applying dry protectors. That and I do this thing where I cover the screen in a layer of scotch tape first to clean any dust or lint off of the screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
Exactly. :). I feel the exact same way. Lol. Those are the main reasons I've kept it on, no air bubbles, it hasn't started scratching and the button identifiers aren't that big of a distraction to me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silencer96:
Has it ever occurred to you that OP doesn't want to waste money on a cheapo screen protector that won't hold-up as well as the factory screen protector? He clearly stated that he likes the feel of the protector, and isn't necessarily cheaping out as you're making it out to be.

Come on, dude, stay on topic.

As a side note, I don't think that rubbing alcohol will do the trick. The markings are on the adhesive side of the protector, not on the front.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzer500:
No trust me they are on the front of the protector as I have stated earlier. I have actually scrapped part of the power marking off on mine. I also have a nice patch of scratches to go along with it, but nonetheless they are on the front not the adhesive side.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Interesting, did you just use your finger nail Panzer? I didn't get round to trying with rubbing alcohol.

To be honest, that is how little they distract me lol, all these lot calling me a cheapo eh? At the end of the day, the OEM protector is far tougher than the cheapo protectors these guys are paying for, even if they cost 10 dollars. Most of them are garbage, I've seen them. The wet application ones are horrible and turn all greasy and slimey, and the dry ones always have air bubbles, although Terrapin come with this applicator, which if that's the way forward will be the one worth going for.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitin.chobhe:
Mine is also as it is. I've been using it since I got the phone... 10 days to be exact :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzer500:
I wish it was my nail but no I was using a sharp tooth on my key since a nail isn't going to do anything. They are on there pretty good hence my idea of a chemical solution. I should take a pic but I think I'm still too low on the totem to post one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzer500:

since I can't embed pics or links it seems yet
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Ahh I see so that definitely means its on the top layer then, although I guess it could be a question of how thick? I had a real good go with my finger nail and as you said, nothing, it wouldn't budge lol!! :P grrr haha
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzer500:
I really think it is just like something that is bonded on as opposed to say just something printed on. It's not a huge priority to me though sometimes the marks do get in the way of watching vids but other than that ehh. I'm just amazed nail polish remover doesn't do anything then again it might not be acetone but something else that was used. I don't know if anyone else has noticed but it seems any video review of the phone or of accessories that has a screen protector installed just happens to be the factory installed film. I think I saw 5 different case reviews and each one had the preinstalled film on it and even some phone reviews too. It made me laugh.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
There has only been one instance where the power logo has slightly irritated me, and it was while browsing. The rest of the time, I really don't notice them lol. I guess if you focus on them then you will notice them every time but they aren't a massive priority. Ultimately, I will probably go ahead and remove it eventually, but no need to just yet :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
I wonder what Google would say if I phoned up and asked what the film protector was made out of haha :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzer500:
"Well let me google that for you sir." Or something along those lines haha

[HTC One X] cessna784:
Hello guys I just have a couple of questions and maybe if you guys need to let me know some things I would appreciate the further insight. I have flashed roms before and this time I am just going to leave the phone as it is but it is more about what was done to this device and what could be causing some very minor issues with the play store. This device was rooted and unlocked by the previous owner and is working great. I been trying to download the Tegra Zone application and it says that my device is not compatible with that version. In fact I have it in my downloads history from another phone. When I search for it it doesn't appear in the market. Is there anything that is causing this HTC one x from ATT to not be recognized properly. If you need me to provide some minor information I would be glad to. At this moment I can only provide that is unlocked, rooted, and running version 4.0.4.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Well, unfortunately you do not have a tegra soc under the hood. AT&T One X is different and it has a dual core cpu.
[HTC One X] cessna784:
Are you saying that the Htc One x doesn't have a Tegra 3?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
You are sayin' that you have an AT&T One X. That means you have evita version which comes with dual core snapdragon, not tegra 3. Go to settings -> hardware info, what does it say? Or go to bootloader, does it say endeavoru or evita on the top line?
