NOOBS GUIDE on how to update your AT&T Galaxy Note to the latest ICS leak and optional obtain root and CWM recovery again:
This guide will walk you through the steps to successfully update your AT&T Note to the latest ICS leak.
Please remember use this at your own risk I am not responsible for anything that may happen to render your phone as a pretty paper weight
This process uses Odin and may increase your flash counter and void your warrenty!
This will also wipe all of your Internal SD make sure to back up everything before continuing!
**First download the correct USB files for your Note**
Second:
Download the one click Odin file.. May take about 18 or so minutes depending on your internet connection.
After this is accomplished double click the file and run Odin one click.
Once this is running power down your Note.. Once your Note is off hold Volume DOWN and POWER you will be prompted with a screen that explains what happens if you continue… After you are done press Volume UP.. You will now see a little Android guy.. Now connect your Note to your computer.
You should now see that ODIN has reconized your device by seeing a Yellow box that says COM (If Odin dose not recognize your device make sure you have downloaded the correct Note USB files for the Note, If you have the correct files exit out of Odin and then re-open it)
Now click the START button… Let it do its thing may take a few minutes..
(NEVER DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE WHILE IN PROGRESS OR POWER OFF YOUR COMPUTER… IF YOU DO YOU WILL HARD BRICK!!!)
Once the process is complete your phone will reboot and now you are running the leaked ICS!
(Obtaining CWM recovery on the leaked ICS)
Go here and download the correct files to install Clockworkmod Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584576

Once this is running power down your Note.. Once your Note is off hold Volume DOWN and POWER you will be prompted with a screen that explains what happens if you continue… After you are done press Volume UP.. You will now see a little Android guy.. Now connect your Note to your computer.
You should now see that ODIN has reconized your device by seeing a Yellow box that says COM (If Odin dosn’t recognize your device make sure you have downloaded the correct Note USB files for the Note, If you have the correct files exit out of Odin and then re-open it)
Now click on the PDA button and navigate to were you have the CWM recovery saved and click on it.
Now click start should take only a minute and it will flash and reboot your Note..
After your phone is powered up turn off the phone again..
Now to check if you have CWM recovery.. Hold VOLUME UP & DOWN and the POWER BUTTON.. After the first vibrate let go of the POWER BUTTON and continue to hold the VOLUME UP & DOWN… CWM recovery will now pop up.

Great guide. Question. I did exactly what you listed twice but there's noticeable choppiness in ics on the home screens and transitions compared to gb. Power saving mode isn't on. I've read through every post regarding the leak and everyone says its smooth while I'm getting the opposite with the homescreens. Any suggestions.

Mine was choppy at first as well.. Power it down a few times and let it sit. That's what I did and it was noticeably faster. I don't use the stock tw launcher apex for me makes this rom fly

I downloaded apex. Much smoother. Though it does bother me that the default TW is laggier than gb.

Agreed. GB dose have a smoother tw launcher. I hope once we get official ICS we can port the new tw launcher off the s3.

If you're going to write a guide for n00b's, it's best not to leave out links or expect people to always know what you are referring to. For example, you tell them to download the correct USB files, but don't provide a link (however, this link is provided in the next link). Also, you state "Download the one click Odin file," but the link you provide says nothing about a one-click Odin file. I know what you mean, but you can't expect every "n00b" to understand. Anyway, just some advice to make your guide better and more idiot-proof.

Well I would say that you should go back to 2.1 through Odin. And to do that, install Odin v1.7 or whatever, and stock jfd along with the 512 pit(I can post the links later,but until then, Google is your friend). Open up ODIN FIRST.. take out the battery, and hold down the volume rockers. Without letting go, plug into the computer and then put the battery back in. When you see the yellow android digging you are in download mode. Now you should see COM(number) on the top right of ODIN on the computer .
Now choose the PDA (t959xxxjfd.tar) and pit file(512.pit), and hit start. Should take about 2-3 minutes to go back to eclair
After you are booted up, download Z4 root (again, find it on google) and root your phone. It will reboot again, after 2nd boot, download rom manager. Open this app and install clockwork mod recovery for Samsung vibrant. It will ask you for root access after you choose boot into recovery, select "allow". It will boot into regular recovery. And you will use the down volume key to select reinstall packages. This will officially install clockwork mod recovery. You may have to do this twice. The way you know is the recovery menu will be green, and have about 10 options. As opposed to the yellow and blue menu with 4 options.
After this, you are golden. You are rooted and have CWM to install whatever rom you choose. I would recommend bionix v1.3. It is an easy install.

I couldn't find out how to root 2.2 so I just converted. Repeating this process has made it quite easy to do this kind of stuff.
Its good practice! But check and make sure the 512 pit is compatible with the jfd, because I forgot.
But yes I woudl recommend this if you plan to go to any other rom. But if you just want rooted 2.2 then don't do this

Sir kind read through the noob guide posted at the top of the Question and Answer Forum of Samsung Vibrant. read through slowly and carefully and read it again and again and again. it will be the best favour you will do to yourself and your phone. you will be saved from any errors that might brick the phone. i am a noob as well so just giving you the best advice that worked for me.
good luck
p.s. once u have read and mastered the noob guide, go to development section of Samsung vibrant, and download the program at the top on the forum called "TOOLBOX" it will do everything for you. but you will understand what it is doing and why.
Thanks bassstar you rooted my phone. You the shi"" . Now lets flash lol

I am not the dev to get this done.
hell i am not even a dev. i never could get it running on Ubuntu to start learning out to create stuff.
so.. here is a starting point for those who want to get CWM running.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a 100 different methods of flashing a device with CWM, and being that this is a new device it will take some time and a good dev to get it going.
but since this is a samsung device and the groundwork on the SG I and SGII has already been laid, i think roms and CWM are only a short time away.
I imagine the SG II CWM methods would be our best starting point.
i figured i would start a thread for anyone who wants to post their progress in getting CWM flashed.
if you have any testing methods please post them.
need someone to test. just ask.. but please have a viable recovery method available to that user incase it bricks the player.
Needed
- Stock flashable Recovery
- Stock flashable Rom (incase the entire phone goes belly up)
i guess since there is no true recovery rom for the Player 5 we need a full Rom w/ recovery to reflash, or the stock recovery to reflash the device incase the device gets bricked when attempting to get a working CWM.
Known Recovery Methods
How to enter Samsung Stock Recovery mode
-Hold Home, Vol +, and Power all at the same time.
-When the Samsung logo appears let go of Power.
-Use Vol + and - for moving up and down the menu
-Hit the Home button to enter on an item. (or click ok)
How to enter Download Mode (for flashing odin files)
-Hold Home, Vol - and Power at the same time.
-When samsung Logo appears let go of Power
-to exit download mode hold Power until it powers off. (its about 5 seconds)
ADB Methods
(performed via CLI using adb while your phone is running and hooked to a PC)
Reboot - adb reboot
Reboot into Recovery (stock or soon CWM) - adb reboot recovery
Reboot into download mode (for odin flashing) - adb reboot download
Odin Flashing Tool (used when your phone is in download mode)
Here is a link to Odin 1.3
I use 1.3 because its probably the most widely used.
there is a 1.8x but i dont know of a change log to show a reason why we should use it.
short on time, will clean it up and add more soon.
Got it!!!

haha gotta love modders !
but thats not something for most people. thats a rare little device that only certain people can even make.
(i could probably make them by the dozens if someone where to pay.
but if you are not stuck in a bootloop or unbootable state as the jig is used for
never forget too that there is always adb
adb reboot
adb reboot recovery
adb reboot download
Well adb dont work on soft brick.
I made two of them. Saved my but a few times.
They sell em 10 bucks a pop
But at any rate.
Its better to have a jig and not need it than to need a jig and not have it.

oh i know the jig is perfect for that cat who killed the phone by odin flashing cwm. (i warned him but he did it anyways)
i was just stating that its not something that everyone can do, most wont have soldering irons.
but it is a must have for dev's i believe.

ha! i was waiting for the "priceless" comment at the end of your post.
but again i have to point out that this wont help that dude who flashes cwm with odin since he has nothing but a black screen.
but as long as you can get to the Sammy logo your ok.
If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you.

OR... you can simply purchase three(3) 100Kohm resistors from radio shack, twist them together, and fish around in the USB port until you hit pins 4 and 5 (on the top and bottom on the same side of the usb port)... It's really that simple. Tape them up so you dont make contact with your skin and throw off the ohm reading.

I'm working on this.. This is all that's left
2: use market app Terminal Emulator and run the following commands on the device
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/mnt/sdcard/data.rfs
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/mnt/sdcard/cache.rfs
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/mnt/sdcard/efs.rfs
Another native method for those of you with Mac or Linux... With windows you use putty. Get market app SSHDroid then SSH in to your device and copy-paste the code block in.
3: copy the files "data.rfs", "cache.rfs" and "efs.rfs" from your SDCard. put them onto your computer and compress them to save space. They will compress down quite a bit.
4. host them somewhere they can be deleted... a personal mediafire account or PM me for access to my server.
I can make an Odin3 1-Click back-to-stock from there.

I would think the one that doesn't increase your counter? Da_G's root method increases counter.
There are 3 ways
System root
Rom root
Kernel root
I belive the system root is is the only one that doesn't increase your counter so the only way undetected by AT&T or Samsung for any warranty work.
Is there a way to erase the counter?
Not at this time
So have the majority used the system root?

Ok I'll give you the short short version:
If you need the samsung drivers so your pc recognizes your note, download them here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I717ZBAATT
If you need odin, download it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=581913&d=1304094576
Download this and when finished unzip it and will become a tar file. If this doesnt work find another host link in the system thread I posted earlier.
ftp://www.slimeinside.me/Samsung/AT&T Galaxy Note/Root/att_note_root.zip
1. Put your device in download mode by powering off, after its off hold the volume down botton and power on and hold at the same time until the download screen comes up and then volume up.
2. Connect your note via usb.
3. Run odin
4. Click the PDA button and locate your tar file.
5. Click start and let the magic happen, it should reboot once finished.

this may be a dumb question but, i don't see where to download the drivers from. I see and went to the provided drivers link but i just don't know were to get the drivers from.

Ok I'll give you the short short version:
If you need the samsung drivers so your pc recognizes your note, download them here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I717ZBAATT
If you need odin, download it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=581913&d=1304094576
Download this and when finished unzip it and will become a tar file. If this doesnt work find another host link in the system thread I posted earlier.
ftp://www.slimeinside.me/Samsung/AT&T Galaxy Note/Root/att_note_root.zip
1. Put your device in download mode by powering off, after its off hold the volume down botton and power on and hold at the same time until the download screen comes up and then volume up.
2. Connect your note via usb.
3. Run odin
4. Click the PDA button and locate your tar file.
5. Click start and let the magic happen, it should reboot once finished.

I did it this way to a T and it worked perfect. Only took like 20 seconds and then rebooted. Fastest root process I've seen AND it changes the boot animation which is bad ass cuz I hate the att one. Another thing that was different is that it asked me to dl super user. Other methods just automatically install it during the root process. Nice work. Thanks.

This may be a dumb question, but for those of us who who do not have pc's is there any hope of a method coming our way? Thanks!

How did you download the drivers? My phone should be here on Monday so I'm just trying to get all read for when it arrives. Not sure if I actually need the phone on hand to get the drivers.

SO i found out how to manually get into Stock recovery on the t mobile version of the galaxy note.
1) While the phone is on just hold down Volume Down + power button for 10-12 second
2) When you feel a light vibration release the power button while still holding down button, and then just hold volume up button as well
( both volume up and down at same time) hold until it show manual mode.
once her it give me the same stock recovery options.
apply update through external sd
apply update through cache
and some other options i don't remember
" what i did"
i tried to flash Superuser binaries by pressing apply update through external sd. It seemed like it was about to go through then it said error invalid signature. When i tried to reboot the screen went completely black and my heart stopped. SOOOOOOO i waited a minute and then just held the power button and it booted up again "PHEWWWWWW"
Just wanted to share my experience as it seems there are alot of people trying to find more info.
Maybe this will help someone get closer to cracking the puzzle
I should be sleeping, since I need to be up in 4 hours for work, but I can't sleep because it's too friggin hot.
Did you have it connected to a comp when you tried this? It should force it into download mode then instead of going to recovery. Theoretically, then it would be a matter of using Odin to push custom recovery and SU.
Unfortunately, it's too damn hot to even fire up my computer, or I would be working on this right now. Well, if nobody has managed to get it by morning, I'll try to work on it while at work.

I rooted by installing the i717 cwm in odin, installing superuser for ICS in cwm.

If it is the torrent one it did not have superuser permissions. I couldn't even use titanium backup.

Get into recovery and flash this file in recovery, i got it from roto, here is his post on how to do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30081450&postcount=34
comfirmed root!
i can confirm that if you have nandroided rotohammers tmobile dump then all you have to do is download the root superuser file and put it somewhere in your sdcard and manually go back to cwm (powering off device and pressing power vol up and vol down once you feel the phone vibrate let go of the power button but keep holding vol up and vol down until you see the cwm screen) then find the file you downloaded earlier flash and once done reboot the phone. "walla" your rooted on att galaxy note with a full Tmobile stock rom.
I can confirm that the TMo Note is easily rooted, almost the exact same way as the ATT version.
These steps all assume you have rooted before and have ODIN installed on your computer. If you have never rooted and don't know what ODIN is, you will need to read up on both before attempting anything or risk bricking your phone. I, or any other member of XDA, am not responsible if you brick your device. Attempt at your own risk.
Step 1: Download Clockwork Recovery tar file found here, select ODIN at top of post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431
Step 2: Download SU binaries (attached in this post)
Step 3: Open ODIN
Step 4: Connect usb to phone and computer
Step 5: Boot phone into download mode by pressing VOL DOWN+ POWER until phone goes blank and phone vibrates, then release POWER and hold VOL DOWN + VOL UP at same time. Once in download mode, select UP.
Step 6: In ODIN, select PDA and locate the recovery file. Then select Start.
When finished, close ODIN and copy the SU binary zip to the root directory of your internal phone storage.
Reboot into recovery by disconnecting phone from USB and following Step 5 above.
Install SU zip through CWR, you are now rooted. Reboot and update SU binary from app.
I know this can all be found elsewhere, I just wanted to place it in this thread for convenience

Yes, the USB cable does the trick. Found that out by accident myself after I didn't need to use Odin any more.

The at&t phone is put into recovery with the volume and power buttons, but the t-mobile phone needs the usb cable plugged in also to enter recovery.

No, you still need ODIN to install recovery for the rooting process. For that, you have to be in download mode on the phone, not recovery, and you can only get to download mode with the USB cable attached. I think my instructions in my earlier post may have confused some people. I'll have to clean it up later.

I've flashed CM9 & CM10 ROMS and none work. So hang tight on the stock ROM right now. Freeze all the crap with Titanium Backup. Its working well for me so far.
OK, Now that I got rooted, and got wifi tethering working....next step is to wait for a dev to make a rom for t-mobile.

Speaking from personal experience on two separate accounts of having to deal with the unauthorized software. If you wait for about a minute or so, the phone will shut off or you can pull the battery. Hold the volume down and home buttons together. While pressing and holding those two buttons together, press and hold the power button until the phone turns on and when you see the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo, release the power key. At this point, your phone should enter into downloading mode.
Use ODIN3 v3.07 to flash both of these files together. Also make sure that the Auto Reboot option is checked.
You'll need to download and open this file http://d-h.st/mKu in the PIT section of ODIN.
You'll also need to download and open this file http://d-h.st/Qd4 in the PDA section of ODIN.
Within seconds of flashing the two files at the same time, your phone will reboot and start up like normal.

Also, in order to flash a custom recovery, make sure you are both rooted AND unlocked. There is a very easy to follow guide in the development section by Adam Outler, who developed a pretty much automated system to do so.

Hey buddy, glad you were able to help him out. Wanted to give you a little advice. It's usually considered bad form to just link the download. Most devs prefer you to link their thread, you know so the person can click Thanks or donate if they feel inclined to. I'm not sure if that's how Adam is, but wanted to point it out to you.

OK, followed Adam's instructions. I'm sure phone is rooted and unlocked.
Now, holding down 'Volum - and Home, then holding down Start' does not work.
I've tried it over and over again.
Any help appreciated.
