Hello all ... im still pretty much a noob when it comes to cell phone .. i just bought a Samsung galaxy note (bell sgh-i717m in Canada)
I wanted to have access to Root for the applications and the cpu speed change (was at 1.12 ghz and supposed to be 1.5 ghz).
I read a lot of posts and found in majority things from Mashi, Da_G etc.
After i tried one method with the odin 1.85 and file AT&T Note Root.zip (532 meg) which was said to just give root access and not change the whole phone ...
After rebooting my phone ... ATT animation at the boot !!! and after that a big big lag when i try to type in text or try to type in number even on dial pad to make a call !!!
HELLPPP !! lol i would not mean that much the AT&T animation but the whole phone with it and that HUGE lag !
Is there any way for me to bring that back to Bell stock ? if so, any of you would have that huge file for me to flash my beast back to Bell with a .tar file through ODIN or other ways if you know something that could help me ?
Update 1 ... i found this file GalaxyNoteRootI717.zip which helped me to get rid of the lag by flashing with their file but i am still stuck with AT&T applications and all = still missing the Bell system and all
Thanks in advance,
zykio.
I would help but i have no clue as how to rip the whole rom.

Here is what i got from DA_G for that purpose i know that a ton of people would like to have the Whole system and such of Bell stock like me to get it back as it was from Bell.
From DA_G
"From adb inside booted ROM:
(note system.img will be 1GB, compress it before upload)
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/system.img
adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img
If you have installed my rooted recovery or kernel, don't bother pulling those images as they will have been overwritten. Currently we have everything for AT&T, Rogers kernel, and TELUS kernel. Need Rogers system/recovery, bell kernel/recovery, and telus system/recovery to build stock archives for those."
Thanks to DA_G. and thanks to you if you can make that image ...

THanks for replying Wish777 ...
What i was trying to do is to repair a mistake i did ...
Wanting to just root my Bell SGH-I717M i did a whole system flash instead of just what i needed for the root and now instead of a phone that brings me Bell for the whole of the phone i have AT&T all across ... AT&T ready 2 go if i reset, AT&T Navigator for the gps .. etc etc .. the icon for the radio is not the same when i get on 4G or LTE etc ..
Overall, now it is not laggy and it is rooted but i miss the rest of it to be back as a Bell Stock but rooted.
If someone pull the Bell stock like we have in Canada for the Galaxy note SGH-I717 and let me put my hand on that i would be back to a phone like i bought from Bell but rooted then.
Thanks again to whoever will help me with that

I have a Bell Note. I am willing to pull my system and recovery images. Will it matter that I'm rooted and have CWM Beta 4 flashed? Also I'm not sure where the best place to host those files would be so that other people could download them.
thanks if u can

you didn't make a backup before you did this did you?....I'm still searching for you.....this is tough I been looking everywhere for you...only real way is to find somone on that firmware and copy out the framework res and system ui apk.....that is on bell.....I think...ill keep searching in the meantime

Even if it would be rooted and with cwm4 it would be with Bell at least for the rest to fix my mistake ...

I did thank you wish777 for your search as i know, trust me, that it is not easy to find the whole nine yards as Bell ... People will still need the untouched (if possible) Bell everything (probably people like Mashi, Da_G etc... would love it too) to fix problems or figure other stuff around for Bell users like me.
For now i got files on my pc .. ok it is Bell all the way but with root and CMW4 for me it is ok for now as i want it rooted and with Bell (counter trigger and stuff is not really relevant for me after the mistake i did = too late until they find a way to reverse it) ...

If you want Bluetint i will post your links here ... but i wont do it without your permission though.
Can you please post those links?
Also, blue, is there any way you can back up your phone, revert to pure stock, and then upload that? I am fine with CWM, but I know a lot of people would want pure stock and the devs are actually looking for someone to do that. If you can that would be amazing, regardless thanks a lot for all of your help, and the OP as well along with Wish.

I have an LG Optimus M and it would be appreciated if someone could develop a ROM for it. You can find the LG Optimus community at androidforums .com/lg-optimus-m Thanks alot.
I recently purchased the Optimus M and am seconding this request for a ROM.
I would also like to see this happen. Thanks in advance!
Maybe you guys should setup a beer fund.
By the way, I'll have a look at it.
Edit:
And yes, I've taken this from a topic on Androidforums, but it is true. I don't have an Optimus M myself, so:
1) I need a dump of your system.img (replacement apks for people that deleted them by accident).
2) Boot.img (which includes the necessary files like the kernel).
3) Splash.img (to take a look or change metro splash screen.
4) recovery.img (to make a modified recovery).
Edit2:
And a phone to test it on. Beer fund anyone?
i have manage to get a bin not img file and all of the apks
ill send it through message

Thanks dude, that files are vital! I've already found a custom recovery, now I'll just have to optimize it for the Optimus M. The key-layout is different but that can easily be fixed by replacing default.prop (or build.prop, not completely sure. I can't check it now, I'm on another laptop now)
I'd really appreciate if people could help testing the recovery once it has been published. It won't brick your device.
I would be willing to test it, as long as nothing bad could happen.

There's a slight little chance it explodes like a nuke when it boots, but except for that little issue, it won't do any damage.
Hey, just thought I'd jump in. I'm pretty much new to smartphones. Since I found xda, I've managed to read enough to learn root explorer, root my Optimus M, delete the bloatware, change the boot, learn adwlauncher and download rom manager.
So how can I help make a custom ROM happen? I think I know enough to flash my own device, except for the recovery/backup stuff worries me.
*Also, my roommate deleted browser.apk on his optimus m (rooted obv), factory reset a few times and has the usual broke market/google problems. Any hope for his phone; he has phone insurance w/metro.
Thank you

Wait wait wait. BTW hi fellow dudes from androidfourms.
You said after the update. Is he working with the files from 2.2.1 and not 2.2?
We need a custom recovery, kernel and rom for 2.2!! Not the evil 2.2.1.
Plus the source for 2.2 for the Optimus M has been released and can be found here: www .lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensource.jsp and choosing "Mobile Phones" from the dropdown menu and typing in LGMS690
If this guy needs the 2.2 files and not the 2.2.1 file they are obtainable.
I was gonna test this recovery but not if it's the 2.2.1 version.

I'm in contact with this guy. We're discussing the plans and who does what.
I'm in contact with this guy too as he is also an active member of the androidfourms sub-forum for the Optimus M and has since downgraded his phone back to 2.2 after he gave you the Boot.img, System.img & Recovery.img. Those ones were more than likely from 2.2.1 which running stock was unabled to even be rooted.
You say you want testing done but by your wording you seem to want to keep this all hush, hush. If that's the case no bother. If you want no extra help then so be it.
I will provide he proper files for 2.2 though.

no sorry my bad does are the 2.2 files not the 2.2.1..that i pull out of the androidforums
So then this recovery is built from 2.2 files correct? And have you personally tested it?
F*** it we'll do it live!!!!! LOL!
I'm about to flash this thing to my phone even though we have no custom rom to use with it yet. Pray for a good outcome.

There is a kernel and root via heimdall. Google for it. No forum here yet. I think we will end up with a Lagfix, Voodoo modded kernel first.
Root information = http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7840-kernel-guide-root-your-stratosphere/
Be sure to download these drivers as well if you are on Windows:

Right now there's one person by the name of knightcrusader on Rootzwiki trying to get CWM ported to the Stratosphere but is running into issues. If anyone here who can help him figure out his issues that would be amazing... and huge thanks in advance.
Awesome replies, thanks. Can't wait to flash something!

Thanks for the dump, but that doesn't help me. I don't think its possible to read those files. Could you root (there's a guide for that at androidcentral forums) then install root explorer (or alternative file explorer that supports root). Then go outside of your sd card into the root space (keep pressing back till you see a couple other folders). Then press mount r/w at the top right. Then press and hold on the system folder and press create zip.

Thanks for looking at this.
Your system dump is very similar to our new gb update. DRockstar, a recovery developer from the epic 4g forums is looking into helping you guys.
yes, I'm aware of you guys now, and have experience porting ClockworkMod to Samsung devices...
I need to find a willing rooted user, to let me teamviewer into his computer with the phone connected, to get the information I need.
I won't be able to do it today, but perhaps tomorrow.
In the meantime, I have an irc channel set up now, on
irc.irondust.net #stratosphere

I'll subscribe to this thread, to keep up with the news... anyone interested, please join the irc channel I just created.

i tried to use recovery and i cant get it to work it when it reboots it takes me to android recovery and on the bottom says
lfs done open fail
deleting cryption meta data
Ok here it is,
Im reading and reading about the rooting.
I tryed to synch my tab with kies to root my tab following this THREAD but it doesnt work
So I posted about it and someone suggested me to check the LOOK HERE THREAD instead
I have a p7500 16gb 4G(well in fact 3G++) and wi-fi (p7500ruxkh4)
Im in canada (quebec province) and am with rogers
data plan, locked sim
honeycomb 3.1
kernel is 2.6.36.3
Now i want to use some apps like titanium backup and some others that need a rooted tab and thats it. I dont want to change kernel or rom or whatever else.
In the LOOK HERE THREAD, there is 2 different P7500 rooting method, one for the 3G and one for the 4G.
On my box and in my "task bar" its says 4G but for what i know, its more 3G++ than real 4G, So WICH one of the tuto do i follow ?
Also, at http://www.samfirmware.com/ i cant find the stock firmware for my p7500ruxkh4
That mean that if i do wrong, i wont be able to recover as brand new. Any clues of where to find it ?
Now about CMW and Odin, since i just want to root, do i have to dl thoses programs ?
Also in the UNROOT tutorial, you guys talk about the filesfordummies, but for what i read, this file is for the p7510 and not for my p7500 right?
So if i want to UNROOT my P7500, what are the proper steps to follow ?
I know, theses are probably noob questions but after searching on the net and this forum, I couldnt find any clear anwsers so i think i should ask you guys first instead of trying and brick my tab.
There is 5 bold/underline questions. I hope some of you have all the anwsers.
Thanks in advance for your help
1. IMPORTANT: in the look here thread use the root package for the 3G model
the 4G/LTE version will cause your system to bootloop
2. DO A NANDROID backup of your stock install -- then you have that to go back to.
3. Team Overcome have a great guide and package: stock for restore and clean purposes, CWM for root usage and a very nice custom rom: see here
4. if you want a custom kernel, there is one by Pershoot and the modification by rego here which plays nice with Overcome and matches your 7500 very well.

thanks but just like i stated before, all i want is to ROOT the tab.
I was wondering if you backed up your Stock Firmware? I am using some Europe firmware as of now because I was one of the unlucky who used the 4G unlock.

well, i rooted my tab and used rom manager to backup my actual rom. i dont know if it can help u.
another thing, i changed the hosts file in /system/etc/hosts to avoid ads in games or app.
since im not rally used to all this stuff, tell me if there is something i can do for you, and if so, ill help with pleasure
If you backed it up just after you rooted it should be okay, I should be able to load your Backup to get my rom back to normal and then Factory Reset to get it all cleaned off. Let me know if there is a way you can email or dropbox it to me in a pm.
It would be awesome!
check ur pm, if it work, just click thanks
Thanks alot. I'll click thanks and personally write a thank you note.
Just so you know you're likely to be asked to help other Canadians as well. As the firmware is apparently hard to come buy.

perhaps upload the base firmware in the version you have from your nandroid backup to multiupload or mediafire and then just post the link??

im about to get a Rogers 4G (3G+ w/e u wanna call it) GT 10.1 and have been reading a lot about how to root and get everything backed up, was just wondering if you guys could clear something up for me about the "UNROOTING & RESTORING STOCK RECOVERY" steps...
step 2..."2. Use Odin to flash the stock recovery from the filesfordummies.zip."
where can i get the stock recovery for the rogers version? or how can i extract and save the stock recovery from the tablet when i get it?

Sorry it took so long for me to reply. Yes the file worked. Although your stuff was backed up on it as well. I just wiped after the first startup.

you have to register to dl the p7500 firmware
dunno if its the one for canada, but you can send an email to the address refered in the post i gave you to ask the admin if he knows where to get it, and then, i guess you can tell us if you found it and where.
This one is difference than Da_G one. Da_G one is perm root but it will increase flash counter. This one flash with Odin but in system level not boot kernel
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c3cd812/n/att_note_root.zip
please elaborate ?
i'm a bit confussed
Where is the file?
im guessing what he means is that when you flash this via odin it will give you root perms UNTIL you reboot then you will no longer have root kinda like the temp root the evo3d started with
Hi,
I think what Mashi meant to say and didn't explain too well is that this is a pre-rooted /system image, in the form of system.img.ext4 inside of a pda.tar to be flashed via odin.
Both ways result in a permanently rooted system partition, just this way flashes it directly, leaving the stock kernel intact, whereas my method flashes a modified kernel which then roots the /system partition via a script.
Apparently the download site he uploaded it to doesn't allow non-premium users to download files that large.

+1. I decided i don't want to mess with flashing roms and kernels with this phone, i just want root so i can block adds and restore my titanium backups from old phone.
Well... a friend got one and wants root as well, and my first thing I told him, pull system, root it, (add su to /system/bin and superuser.apk to /system/app) then flash it back with Odin.
Can anyone tell me that would not work? It sounds like that is what this is...

Sense will likely never happen unfortunately. Ics is only a material of time... just need a leak for our device, the int leak doesn't really help as there is too many differences hardware wise.

I need some dumps to help me with the me7 recovery/unlock if that helps motivate.
Really No-one ?! I just need a quick dump and I might be able to get recovery on the ME7 update

If no one else answers I'll give it a try but I won't be home until later tonight and might not have much time. And will likely need hand-holding on how to do what you need, LOL!
ETA: Oh and I have a custom ROM & Kernel on mine if that matters.
Thanks for responding being on a custom rom is fine but I need stock kernel so if you could flash it that would be great!

I have a boot.img with the stock kernel in it. The Darkslide ROM has some issues with WiFi and other things when I run the stock kernel. Would the boot.img help?
if it's directly from the dev edition phone then definitely could you please upload it if it is?

Also note it says to bump your question once in 24 hours. There are not that many developer editions out there that someone is sitting here waiting for your request.
I have a stock Dev edition ATM (no root or recovery) but can access ADB if I can help. I am also interested in finding out how to get a stock recovery package for the Development Edition.

Update
Update: I have some good news and some bad news (mostly bad)
Good News: I have unlocked the bootloader
Bad News: the unlock is not permanent(?) but I might be able to fix that, just need some the run the following comands in terminal emulator and give me the files that were made:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p32 of=/sdcard/devlog.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p29 of=/sdcard/system.img
If anycone can run these (on stock w/o recovery that would be great!
I'm going to try to help. I have a stock DEV edition, non-rooted. It has been 3 years since I messed with ADB, so I will probably need some hand holding

You don't need a computer it's fairly simple just download terminal emulator from the play store and run the commands the output files will be on the root of the internal storage so if you could just upload those that would be great
Thanks. I get permission denied trying to copy /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
Do I need to be rooted?

K. I also got ADB running. Now what would be the best way to root this. I assume you don't want me to use a custom recovery to get there.

follow the instructions on this thread and help the op author out ASAP PLEASE!!
EDIT* darn it, i forgot yours is a dev phone. so root may be different..... sorry. i was just so excited about this news.
Yep. That's for an ME7. My dev phone is OYUAMDK. As far as I understand, the MDK root methods wipe the recovery or the kernel, depending on the method. I think the OP is asking for both to be intact so he can get copies. I'm not rooting until I hear from the OP.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP THIS MAN, LET'S GET THIS BABY UNLOCKEd!!
