Now i thought that i would try rooting my galaxy note i717m with instructions from the root my galaxy note website...fail! no disrespect to him he is doing a fine job but i think that he should take down that it works for Bell at least. My question and problem is that now its stuck on the boot screen. i can still get in via odin re flash(i think thats right) but i cant seem to get any further...Help ...i've already tried flashing with Da_G pda.tar. and i got a different boot logo(original samsung/bell for the i717m logo) but still stuck....again help!!!

Sounds like you odin Gingerbread root on ICS...I would run the update again in download mode, to get a new complete fresh install or put CWM touch on to flash a custom ROM or if your gonna stay stock, (I use touch CWM)...and to put the ICS latest stock or Custom ROMs,
are all listed on the GNote Super page, see my links in my signature for all the ROOT for ICS and all the stock/custom ROMs.
Huh?
still stuck but thanks...
i have tried to flash the bell pda.tar stock and get the same. it was currently running the Bell ICS update ...where do i find the Bell pda.tar file for ICS so i can flash on to ClockworkMod...i have read almost everything...i know READ READ READ...any help will be great. thank bro...where do you fond time.

Hi,
I'm a newbie w/ android and I made the mistake to upgrade to the ICS version of Samsung note i717. Unfortunately, my experience with it has been quite poor due to the severe lags and hangups.
However, I have been unable to go back to the stock AT&T or Samsung version that the phone came with. I didnt save a backup of the original version. Is there any way to fix this?
I tried installing a ROM that some one made of the AT&T version earlier, but the phone would not boot after that (It would get stuck in the SAMSUNG screen at boot) and I had to re-install ICS to unbrick the phone.
Any help in this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks
Search or at least look in the development section where there is the Odin to stock AT&T GB

I just bought a bell galaxy note. It is unlocked and I am using it with a Mobilicity sim. Can someone tell me what would be the best way of upgrading to ICS?
Thanks.
There is a sticky right at the top of this section that will help get you started.

My sig is what I used, look it all up and see if its what you want to do (stock ROM or modded) and PM me for help. I'm a noob to rooting but I can get you started.
Is there any way to get OTA bell ICS update now that I am with Mobilicity?
Is your phone rooted? If not you should receive the update by OTA also. Or if the update is available by using Kies, you can get it that way.
Not sure if you got your answers ...
but I have my Note with ICS and with Jelly Bean OTA ................ and steps seems pretty easy if u READ and PAY ATTENTION and follow them...
here are few things that I did ...
1) download Samsung KIES ( if you have already - make SURE ITS UPDATED)
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
2) Download and install CWM ( i used the GUI version ... yes am lazy about doing three fingure boot etc ,,,)
3) Download and keep ICS rom of choice (( search and read here , lots and lots of them ..... like kid in candy jar!!)
one I suggest =
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765316&highlight=cwm+gui
The above ( 3) link will show you most resources and things to do
and sit back and ENJOY !! note = Pure amazin in RAW form , and let loose with some of the fancy ROMS
you can spend hours and hours << ah remember the days of Andriod 1.6 and 3am morning still flashing ROMS !!LOL))
Hope this helps
say thanks if it did
I did all of the above. I rooted the phone and then flashed CWM followed by super user. I then chose FJ ICS rom and flashed it as well. However, although everything went well and I was able to boot the phone to ICS 4, I have lost contact with my service provider (mobilicity).
Just so that you know, I bought this unlocked phone which came with Gingerbread and everything was working fine.
I have restored the phone back to the stock ROM but I still cannot see the Mobilicity network.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to get the phone back to its original state?
alright so after searching both here and various other sites on this question i have found nothing very helpfull...
so at the risk of being told i need to search i have to ask. I have a ATT Galaxy note I717. I did get the OTA update to 4.0. I have not yet rooted my phone but im trying to do so. Mostly so i can flash t-mobile onto it for it work properly with my 4G.
So my question is. Were is the root process for a note that already has 4.0.
I followed other instructions here http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-sgh-i717-att-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-90018/ and here http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-method-2odinheimdall/.
After installing such CMW Touch i can not get it to boot to recovery. Just goes into download mode and as welll as i do not have superuser or root acces on the phone. If any one knows where i can find the procedure to gain full root access so i may start playing around that would be greatly appreciated
Wrong Model.

The second link you provided was for the International Note. That may be the problem. Use the method here: http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/. I know for a fact this procedure works, as I have done it on my own Note no less than a dozen times due to the problem in my thread.
Good luck and happy rooting!

It says for ginger bread rooting. I am running 4.0 and do not wish to go back to 3. Will i keep my current 4.0 with that method or will it be flashed back to ICS
nvm do appologize,,, just caught my own noob mistake... lol
seeing that you have used this method before... when i go to flash the zip file it gives me an error and says it fails... yet i have super user and root acces on the phone now?
You don't have to root your phone to flash a modem. You don't need to have CWM to flash a modem either.
You can install the modem using Odin3 and your pc.
Agreed ....
Thank you ranger ....g
Hi,I rooted my phone then I installed new ROM but then, I installed Galaxy S2 I9100 JB ROM Which was I9100XXLSJ ROM
when I have Galaxy S2 SGH-i777. I know I'm stupid I didn't read it clearly it just said Galaxy S2 Jellybean
I have factory reset it but it is still the i9100 JB ROM not my old AT&T version
I used Odin3 v1.85 to do all this. I have downloaded several ROMs to see if it worked but when I opened them up it dont work with Odin and they said something about installing with SD card and stuff. I tried and i cant find the program and such.
At this moment I I just want my phone to work again. It don't matter if I use stock version of ICS as long it works again with ATT. because right now. my Back/Search doesn't work and Calling.
Please help, and give good explanations because I'm not very strong in electronics
If your phone will still enter download mode you can still fix it. Look through the stickies(important threads which have been given special status due to their importance and relevance) there are several that explain how to return to stock firmware. You should probably flash a full version of stock including the bootloaders as what you flashed may have contained I9100 bootloaders. But better safe than sorry. I've given you enough information to get started, let us know how it turns out.

Thank you! I'll get started as soon as possible and let you know how it goes.
Why did you start another thread for this same issue?

Hello,
Long time reader here. I finally made an account recently because I finally wanted to Root my phone and mess around with Cyanogenmod.
My question is this: I have an unlocked, unbranded Samsung GT-i9300 that I purchased from Newegg back in the summer time and I have still yet to receive any sort of update (still on 4.0.4). Can someone explain to me the whole stock updates scenario? I would have thought buying an unlocked, unbranded phone I would have at least gotten updates faster than the Verizon S3. Now.. I know I can flash Cyanogenmod and be done with it. Which I have which leads me to the last question. What happens if I flash my phone with the 4.1.2 stock rom that was just released in Poland recently? Will it work? Why wouldn't it? Does the baseband really matter as far as compatibility? (PDA? CSC?)
Thank you for your time.
I answered my own questions. Thanks for looking
I was so excited I forgot to elaborate a little.
I was successfully able to root my phone using cf root / odin, install clockworkmod recovery, install cyanogenmod 10 then re-flash back to stock using triangleaway, and a stock rom from samsung firmware using odin.
I had thought I bricked my phone when it was in an endless loop on the splash screen but I was able to get into android recovery mod and do a format/wipe/clean cache. *phew*
