[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
There were two primary reasons for providing these firmware options for the i317:

1 - AT&T has not released a complete 4.3 Odin firmware for the i317 - the only option they provide is the OTA update

2 - The AT&T official firmware contains a bootloader with non-revertable Knox tattletale custom flash flag - see OP for details. We were fortunate to have access to an unofficial prerelease bootloader that does not include that "feature" so I included it here.

Neither of those two situations apply to the t-mo firmware - the bootloader does not have the same isses afaik, and they have provided a full firmware (see link below). If you want stock rooted, just flash that, followed by Chainfire's cf-auto-root specific to the sgh-t889 and you should be good to go.

I've tried jerking him thru PM. But then I found out it's a replacement phone. So there's the possibility the motherboard or something inside the phone is faulty...

I don't know if he tried this yet. But he did do some flashing to get it to work. Multiple kernels, and Rom's.. And his Wi-Fi nor BT is coming on for him???

Can i flashe a custom kernel on mk6 bootloader if i have a custom recovery installed?

Also after rooting i cant turn on wifi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cnote74:
Yes you can just wipe cache and dalvik first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Perry2547:
So here's my question as best as I can articulate it:

I currently am running a cm 11 nightly.

I would like to have a stock tw 4.3.

I've looked at several customs on here but too much talk about flashing this and installing that to get things working.

If I flash the rom listed in the first post, will I still need to hook up to a pc/laptop to get Wi-Fi working? Bc that is what it seems to be doing at first glance.

I've never had a problem flashing roms before and having things working right out of the box.

Also, I'm not concerned about voiding any warranty as that ship has done sailed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Yeah, you need a 4.3 bootloader for WiFi to work with an otherwise stock setup. You'll need to flash the bootloader and tz package provided in the OP via Odin, which does require a Windoze PC connection.

For the main package, the cwm/twrp options will wipe system for you. If you use the Odin option (again talking about the main package here) I recommend wiping system before flashing. Coming from cm11 you might need a factory reset after flashing.

Either way, you should make a backup from recovery before starting so you have something to go back to - just in case.

I've been trying to download the rooted Odin file from dev-host all night and it keeps failing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
There is no equivalent to the MJ4 bootloader for the i317m phones afaik. You can try a custom kernel (see skynote and other 4.3 roms) to avoid the official 4.3 bootloader if that is your goal.

There was some discussion on this a while back - search the thread. You might find one in the latest jedi over in the t-mo forum.

PDA slot for every odin package (Assuming you are using 3.07). All main packages replace kernel, modem and system, so it really doesn't matter what version you are on, but for best results, if using the Odin main package, wipe system before flashing (the cwm/twrp packages do this for you). If coming from a non-ATT stock rom, you may need to do a factory reset or wipe data beforehand as well.

I need some help bringing this device back to life. It was given to me as is, so this is what I can gather:

Hangs on boot screen, will not go into recovery but will go into download mode (using a usb jig) and this is what reads on download screen:

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (2 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1

I used the stock odin file provided by OP but no dice, just stuck on boot screen. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Still no factory recovery ???

Unless you can get recovery running....it becomes very difficult...

You'll need it to wipe the partitions and clean the device to prevent the loop...

See here for an Odin flashable recovery...

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/133

Once you flash the recovery...

Boot into it...then wipe data and caches...

Then try a reboot again...

If it fails...then boot to recovery again and fully wipe the device including internal storage and flash Zens rom again...

Lets get that far...and see how it goes....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pigbenis12:
Thanks for the reply.

Recovery seems to be a problem because it will not boot into it, even after I flashed TWRP using Odin (hence the custom count?)

At this point, no matter what I try, it just goes into the boot screen and nothing else. I suppose it's not a total hard brick because I can still go into download mode and "successfully" write a rom using Odin.

But it just won't go past this point.

Where can i get the 4.3 MK6 Stock ROM...which is untouched...and non rooted...

I want to flash it via ODIN...

Thanks!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
There is no AT&T option to directly flash 4.3 MK6 via Odin... but you can follow this guide from @dicksteele to get to MK6 stock unrooted by choosing option 1 (OTA) in post #3 when you get there....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2618447

You'll want to do a format of /system before starting the Odin of LJ1 (assuming you have a custom recovery loaded). Contrary to popular belief, Odin does not do this. If you've only been on stock firmware this is less of a concern.

If OTA is not an option (i.e. no provisioned AT&T SIM)

... you can install the firmware in this thread

[*] , then flash the stock recovery (see OP), uninstall busybox (see below), then run SuperSU app from the phone and select the "Full Unroot" option. After this, the only evidence that the phone was ever rooted will be the absence of the "Knox" app in the app drawer (and the absence of the "install-recovery.sh" file in /system/etc, fwiw, but no impact, and it gets replaced if the OTA process gets run at any point).

[*] I actually recommend using the CWM/TWRP version of the firmware install (Odexed in this case), because it does a format of /system first and then lays down the files (cleaner). With this version you have to trust that I'm recreating all the file system permissions correctly from what was present on /system plus those changed in the OTA updater-script. (I'm 99.9% certain this is the case and I did multiple comparison passes before publishing). The Odin version is an ext4 image taken after the OTA completed and after /system was rooted and busyboxed, but as noted above, Odin doesn't wipe first so you need to do that yourself or files from previous roms will still be there ... bad Odin :)

As for removing Busybox, I recommend trying this script (CWM package which can be run from stock recovery) from @Phil3759 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1853419. Easy enough to check after it is done. If /system/xbin only has "su", "daemonsu" and a couple other files, it worked :good::good:

Hey Zen,

Any chance of a Stock DeOdex Rooted 4.4.x ROM From you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cnote74:
Yes probably once AT&T releases the rom first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Yeah, 4.4.2 was just released for the i747 (att sgs3). It usually takes a couple weeks more for the i317 - for all the s-pen specific features and apps to be tested. Might be quicker this time around since kk is not that big of a change.

I'll be working on something similar to this one here for 4.4 once it shows up.

Time for some Kit Kat!!! Did you get it yet [MENTION=4520272]Zen Arcade[/MENTION] ????How is it coming?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Short version: "along" ;)

Longer version: Working on Odin packages now - a pure back to stock option and a rooted/busybox option. Next will be the recovery zip packages and separate kernel/modem/recovery flashables.

Good news is that the MJ4 bootloader and tz still work with NE5 firmware and modem so there's still a revert option to clear out DL mode if anyone still wants that option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] stewwmann:
Excellent! Should I be looking for it in the our development section soon? Thank You!

In the mean time you can try the AGNi 4.4 kernel. It's based on n7105 sources, but works on our phone. Doesn't sleep all that great and it's definitely not stock, but SELinux is disabled.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
What is your goal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skylinegtrvspec:
goal is to make it be stock with no root meaning if i wanted to would i use the stock recovery here to make it back stock if i ever wanted do a factory reset
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
There are a couple ways to do this, but the simplest is to do a full unroot from SuperSU, then boot custom recovery and flash the stock recovery package as you have described.

More involved process would include removing busybox (I think Stericson's app may do this) and putting the original /system/etc/install-recovery.sh in place.

Advanced process, assuming you don't have a locked bootloader would be to revert back to 4.1.2, run Triangle Away to clear download mode counters, then OTA for a pure stock upgrade.

Depends on what you want... :cool:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
MK6 is newer than MJ4. You can't go back from MK6 or later bootloaders. To clear the issue you can Odin flash something without a bootloader... A recovery or a known working rom.

As for WiFi make sure you have a current modem. You can try flashing the tz or tz+param file. Read OP for more info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shadowcliffs:
I thought the boorloader is downgraded when the phone is odin flashed 4.1.1 ROM, no?

My issure turned out to be the wifi hw got trippled somewhere along the way. It's back after resetting it through service menu->power saving on/off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Glad to hear you got wifi back. :good:

Once you are on MK6 or higher, there's no reverting the bootloader - you can only flash newer bootloaders. (btw, UCALJ2 Stock Odin file - 4.1.1 - does not contain a bootloader)

I will flash the Odin package again this afternoon and retest.

You can try flashing the

CWM odex

package over your current config to see if that helps - they should be identical so this is a bit of a long-shot (no harm in trying, though). If that doesn't do it ....

It appears from other reports that coming from a highly customized stock-based rom a full wipe may be required. See my previous post (#13) on this thread for suggested steps to take.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Thanks. I did a full wipe, including wiping data, x4 before Odin'ing the tar.md5. I may try it again or doing the CWM Odex instead to see if it makes any difference.

Thinking a little more about it, after I Odin'ed this, it took me straight into TWRP, and I just told it to Reboot System and didn't do a Factory Reset. I shouldn't need to do that though, right? I mean, I had *just* Odin'ed it...so I should be good to go...maybe when I try it again I'll do another factory reset after loading the ROM...seems weird that GPS is the ONLY thing not working though...

Thanks again. :)

He's flashing the rooted MK6 Odin package I put together - it should be identical to the CWM Odex package. The only "X" factor is a remote chance that the tool I used to create the system image did not capture a permission or symlink correctly. The quick test is for Chris to flash the CWM Odex package as I've confirmed that GPS is working there. The longer one is for me to flash the Odin package, and pick through the file system properties in detail to see if there's a mismatch somewhere (I'm skeptical, but it's possible).
