Since apparently it can't do a proper update on this using CWM - I need to drop in the stock recovery again (non-destructive to my phone as a whole, which is only CWM + root on stock ROM), I've not had luck searching for threads on how to UN-CWM a phone without doing a full wipe/factory reset - I don't suppose anybody's got notes on where I can do that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrSewerPickle:
So, obviously this won't work on CMW without modifications but someone asked for the actual modem bin so why not..... The usual disclaimer applies here on using this (I am not responsible)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PaulF8080:
When I did the update after the reboot it went through all my installed apps and one by one and said it was optimizing them. Does your own manual install do that? I wonder what it adjusted in the apps. Cache size or ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
In pre ics versions of android, an official os update would, by default, delete you davlik cache (which is all of your apps compiled in such a way that they startup and perform better, without getting too technical).

After the davlik cache was deleted, your device would then rebuild the cache on the next reboot. This is why pre-ics it would take several minutes (in some cases, as long as 10 minutes) for the device to initially boot after installing an update, leading many users to think their device had locked up and they would then pull the battery and potentially brick their phone.

So what Google did was provided feedback when rebuilding the dalvik cache by telling you it is optimizing apps (akin to a progress indicator), rather than staring at your phone boot logo for 10 minutes.

So long story short, this isnt anything Android didnt do in the past, its just giving you feedback now. I hope this makes sense.

If I choose not to drop stock recovery in will this update be rolled in with JB or will not installing it prevent me from getting JB via Kies when it rolls out?

Isnt the modem supposed to be 2 files? There should be an amss.bin... If you can send that up as well I can package into a flash able cwm file

I have a rogers note that i flashed att firmware on including the recoveru and such i am stock att and unrooted. ...every time i try to look for the update it says communication with server failed will try again in 48 hours not sure whats goin on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrSewerPickle:
Yeah I believe the modem is probably contained inside the .bin file. Let me see if I can extract it tonight along with anything else required for a CWM flashable package.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Perhaps our first casualty. ..

My update has damaged my EFS file.

Be careful people. ..Im in a mess here. ..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zerenia:
Got tired of dealing with the nag screen....

I gave in, and found out that the update process for me wasn't so bad. I unrooted following the instructions here:

http://rootgalaxynote.com/category/galaxy-note-unroot/

The only thing I did differently was to not do the factory reset. None of my data or apps were disturbed. I ran the AT&T update and my baseband version updated to I717UCMB4 and I waited out the app optimization process. No new apps installed, no changes to any of my settings.

I went back to RootGalaxyNote.com and ran the root process here:

http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-i717-roms/how-to-root-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/

Ran perfectly. Tested Titanium Backup and was able to obtain root. Checked again and still no new bloatware. Everything is working perfectly and the nag to update is gone!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tigerknight:
Is there no way to do just a recovery mode flash rather than a whole stock image reset? It doesn't seem to have hurt you (I assume you're running stock image + root and nothing else)? I'm doing a cwm full backup now to be on the safe side, but this still makes me twitchy even though you reported success. I want to say there was a 'recovery.bin' file around here somewhere I could flash to do just that but having issues finding it currently.

edit:

Out of the uclf6 tar file for a stock install - if I just grab the recovery.img and flash that, will that do the trick for me?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildoggs:
You have to flash using Odin. If you have twrp just reflash cwm. Reboot into recovery wipe all your partitions. After the wipe is done reboot into cwm and pull the battery to be on the safe side. Reboot into download mode reinstall uclf6 using odin. After it reboots into ics turn on your wifi and try to check the att servers again. This worked for me. Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tigerknight:
That didn't answer my question. If make a tar file for odin to flash that is just 'recovery.img' out of the file 'I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar' and none of the other things like boot.img, system.img.ext4, etc - and flash that with odin, will that give me stock recovery back without touching anything else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lildoggs:
I'm not sure. I have never made a .tar file out of any .img file. But the post that i put up for you was to play it safe, and not brick your phone. I don't know if recovery.img file need some modification to make it work in that fashion. Sorry I couldn't help you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
No, you have to flash recovery separate. The new update is for the modem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chrisrotolo:
So I was on stock UCLF6 rooted with CWM. I unrooted using voodoo OTA keeper. Flashed stock e3 recovery, downloaded update, reboots to install. Phone restarts and sticks on the samsung blue logo. Logo is not flashing/blinking either , just stuck. Left it for about 15 minutes.

tried at least half a dozen times... Also wiped cache and dalvik just prior to flashing stock e3.

forgot to mention I had to also reset flash counter to get e3 stock recovery to flash and boot.

Lame..

its my wife's phone anyway... we will just wait for JB. We are seeing 20down 12up LTE speeds here.in Hartford CT, which is plenty good for now..

any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmbomb:
if you MUST HAVE this up-date.....

Odin back to CLF6...(AFter you back everything up you want to save)

once back to stock CLF6 (including stock recovery)

then connect to a wifi and get your up-date...

then start putting your sh*t back on your new CBM4 rom

good luck

In the FWIW category, I had an interesting conversation with an AT&T rep this evening. They wanted me to buy a tether plan because "they have identified that I am tethering blah blah blah". He tells me to run the new update and he "guarantees I will not get any more messages from them that I am tethering". Basically, what I got from him is that the update will block any attempt to tether. Maybe that was written into the update. I don't know if it can\will still work after being flashed over with a non-AT&T ROM but if it is written into the base-band then it could stick. Take with a grain of salt because the same bozo told me that sending iHeart radio through Bluetooth to my new car is considered tethering. Ugh!!!!!!!!!

Incidentally, today I fired up Kies and got an update dated today. Installed it, rebooted PC (required by a windows update) and now I no longer get the 'no hardware ID' error when plugging in micro USB. Yay for the little things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rlay:
I unrooted and went back to the stock ICS Rom to apply this update and disabled most of the bloatware. My battery is lasting measurably longer than before. The phone goes into deep sleep more often, and the screen dims bit more on the lowest brightness setting. Although if I go into an area with weak reception (in a large department store, for example) and try to use data, the phone warms up and drains the battery at a much more rapid pace. I used to have to reboot everyday after charging or else the phone would not go into deep sleep. I've gone 2 days now charging each night and have not had to reboot because deep sleep is working just fine (according to CPU spy).

I found this notice from ATT, http://www.att.com/esupport/article...ote (i717) using Android 4.0#fbid=jgnQNMKAa8T. Says the update is "required" for UCLF6 but I keep getting "the servers are busy". It includes that you need to be on WiFi with a full battery charge.

Hello there.

Well, my gf's SGSII soft bricked itself (I hope is just a soft brick, I haven't seen the phone yet). There are important files on the internal memory that she does not want to lose. The phone is running ICS 4.0.4 and rooted by the PhilZ's kernel.

I'm gonna try this metod provided by the user "noise":

The problem is, as far as I know, the phone needs to have the USB Debuggin option enabled so I can use ADB on it, I'm almost sure she does not have that option enabled.

I need your help guys, I hope you can give me some advice:

1- If I do a factory reset from the custom recovery, are all the files from the internal memory deleted?

2- There is a way to preserve the internal memory files flashing another ICS rom not selecting an Odin option, I don't really remember which one...

I'll see the phone tomorrow, are there more solutions for this problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LosserKlosser:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Files stored on ur internal memory ARE SAFE no matter if u wipe data in stock/custom recovery or flash a stock/custom rom via odin/cwm. They are only deleted if you format the internal USB memory using a PC or ur phone.

Please provide more details when u get the phone:

1. Are recovery and download mode still accessible?

2. Does the phone turn on and go into bootloop, or is it completely dead?

The phone only goes to the black screen with the white letters and stay there, it does not reboot itself. When I try to get into recovery mode, the black screen with the white letters blinks once and nothing happens, I guess the custom recovery is not working. Luckily, download mode is still accessible. So I guess the only choice I got is to flash a new stock rom? Which stock rom do you recommend?

If u can ask her what caused the soft brick, other options may open up, but as of now, you would have to flash a new rom.

While going for stock, choose a 4.1.2 rom available for ur region (or if not, closest to ur region) and u should be fine. Actually it doesn't make quite a difference.. :)
