What do I need to do before I send my phone to Samsung? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I'm sending my phone in for repair and am wondering if someone can give me some instructions on returning my phone to stock. I'm on CM10 now and have a flash count of about 16. What files do I flash?
Sorry for such a noobish questions, but I guess I'm having a noobish problem!

When I flash the Stock ROM in Odin I can't get past the boot animation. Crap!

Might be a missed step in the process. Give these steps a try:

I did this yesterday actually, I am fortunate though and their is an AT&T warranty exchange center near my house. I'll tell you what I did, I fried the phone so they couldn't access anything on the phone. I handed them a completely bricked un responsive phone and their wasnt anything they could do but to give me a brand new one lol. If you wanna go down this route let me know and I'll explain how to brick the device for life

Have you tried flashing a stock rooted ROM and then using ODIN?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note i717 #BoycottApple

Unless you wipe data from the device prior to a return to stock via Odin ....you "will " have severe boot cycle issues....
In fact .....you must wipe data .....then return to stock via Odin .....then wipe data again before the first boot cycle on the stock rom.
But because you "must " allow the device to boot after pushing any file to the device to complete the write cycle, wiping the data a second time before booting is not possible ....
That being said ....simply wipe data after the return to stock before pushing the stock recovery over .....g
There are many methods ....but I use the above .....

Finally able to update everyone. I got it all stock. All I had to do was go into the stock recovery and wipe data and cache. Perfectly stock and shipped to Samsung!

Question about return

Hey guys. I just got my replacement phone from ATT mailed in since my old one's power button broke. I have a few questions about getting it back to stock AND doing so to reset my flash counter ( its at 1 now and i dont want them to void my warranty and make me pay for it :/) As of now, i do not have a jig, but one is one the way.
first off i had planned on flashing 4.0.3 and installing triangle away. i was told that this would get rid of the yellow triangle AND reset the flash counter. Will this work?
Next, does flashing back to stock through odin/heimdall readd to the flash counter where it'd go back to 1? if so, is there a way back to stock and be unrooted without increasing the flash counter
I'm also assuming doing a master clear will not increase it, as i dont want them to send them my data.
I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance
UPDATE: The triangle away worked successfully and flashing via odin kept the count at 0 as i thought. My new problem is when i booted up after going back to stock, i get a bootloop at the att logo. Anyone have any alternative links to getting to a nonroot version of samsung stock?

It would be worth a try... go the the Download Repository and flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries package which contains cache.img and hidden.img. It also contains the bootloaders and param but you shouldn't have to worry too much about that. That might allow your phone to boot.

Restore Note to Stock without USB connection?

I went to plug in my phone to my USB cable connected to my desktop, and and I noticed that my Note wasn't being recognized by my desktop, and but was still charging. Long story short, I deducted that it was an issue with the phone's hardware (tried different computers, cables, and ROMs). I have the $10/month warrantee from ATT, but just assumed that I could trust take it in because it was rooted and on a custom ROM. Is there a way for me to flash back to stock and unroot the phone without Odin or any other desktop utility, so that I can take it in?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I ran through the forums and didn't see a cwm flashable stock rom. So you may be out of luck on that one.
If you do find a stock rom you can flash though, you could potentially use this over wifi adb.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23499670&postcount=133
That'll remove CWM. Best bet might be to say you lost it and pay the $199 deductible. I had to do that once - I'm using the old phone as my mp3 player.
Are we sure this isn't a driver issue? I know its supposed to auto detect but it might he worth trying to install the drivers yourself manually and try again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I tired reinstalling the drivers and Kies on two different computers. I read somewhere just now that the issue was most like an issue with one of the wire strip on the USB dock part being messed up.

What about copying the original files onto a microsd from your computer and flashing from that?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Well that leaves me in a pretty bad spot I guess. I suppose my only options are to take it in to the ATT store and hope the guy can exchange it right then and not notice or care, and try to find someone who will sell me a single USB replacement part (looked everywhere though and only saw bulk dealers), and or just continue using it and never switch ROMs I guess

I didn't see a stock rom for him to do that with.
You can use the mobile Odin when you find a stock rom.
You can get a stock backup from someone who has stock rom and CWM and will reset to factory and make a backup and send it to you.
The at&t person won't check to see if you have CWM.

If the OP wants to do that, I'll be willing to get a backup for him. I'm still on the stock Gingerbread system with root/CWM. I'm about to install another rom over the next couple days, so just before hand I can get a backup.

That would be amazing. With that backup, I could just flash it, but and essentially be back to stock? Also, I how does Odin Mobile work? Will that unroot and flash me back to stock or is it just a way to flash like CWM without having to go into recovery?

And yes, you'd be back to stock. Make a backup of everything you have first though.

I used it, but I don't remember which phone.
So you will have a nandroid stock backup file soon. To flash that, you need CWM recovery. Do you have that?
I'm creating the backup right now..
I might find a server that can be used for downloading.. that way we at least have a completely stock cwm backup.
Good idea. Maybe Electron or another developer could host it for everyone's availability.
gagejbond, do you have PM's enabled? I'm going to send you a PM in a few with the link for the download. I'm testing the restore on my phone right now..

I tested the CWM backup on my phone, it worked perfectly. I sent you a PM, if you don't get it/have PM's disabled just let me know and I'll post it here. Downloading should take less then 5 minutes. Good Luck!

[SOLVED] my i9100 died on me, what now!

well guys seems my sgs2 i9100 died on me.
I'm an experienced user so I know what I'm doing, but this time seems it died.
what happened.
flashed new LQ5 sammy rom via odin for a quick test drive, all went smooth and tested all I had to test.
then it was time to flash another rom via odin.
as always before flashing another rom, I boot into fake recovery using cwm 5.8.1.5 and erase all partitions, system,data & cache and then reeboot straight to download mode to reflash the other rom via odin.
well this time, after erasing partitions I reebooted but it just went dead.
I tried about everything, even booting with usb jig into download mode, but it just doesnt work. screen is always black no message no signal no nothing.
what can I try to before RMA this Sucker ?
edit: solved by repair center replacing PBA MAIN

Well nothing, there are only to things that can resurrect this paperweight for you, and my guess is that you have neither of them
1. Fix it using JTAG
2. Change the PCB
So send it off to a repair centre near you mate

I have good soldering skills but For jtag looks like there´s a box needed, and since its still under warranty I guess I'll try to RMA before opening and permanently void my warranty.
Sounds like you hit the eMMC brick. I know this sounds cruel but it gave me the heads up as I was about to flash the new LQ5 ROM. Might think twice about it. Don't mess about with it, just send it off for repair and play dumb.

I think it has to do with the fake recovery. once this LQ5 firmware as a new pit file different from the older gingerbread one. and the fake recovery might not be prepared to deal with the partitions the way this new pit repartitoned
If you stay off the recovery, the rom works flawlessly, its my bad habbit of formatting the partitions before flash that screwd me
its nice that I have a usb jig and the counter is zero that way they cannot acuse me of using non official firmware.
Can you explain to me what the “fake" recovery is? Do you mean custom recovery?

you can boot into stock recovery and from there boot into fake recovery without the need to having a custom recovery installed in your phone.
Interesting. You didn't have ClockworkMod Recovery then? Because ROM Manager and CWMR don't get on together. Just return your phone to Samsung and say the update failed in Kies. It's a 50/50 chance they will fix it. But it's worth a try.

i told them i was updating the phone in kies and after that my phone din start
What build did you die on? Saying "LQ5" is useless - with ICS you MUST include the FULL build identifier including region code when talking about a given build.
Well now I might be little more cautious, but I have wiped multiple times using the dial code and it worked fine.
Might be the touch recovery done something or you!
Have to be sure before everyone gets Bizzurk about the Emmc brick, which we didn't have until now.

The LQ5 release the OP is talking about is the leaked Samsung release of 4.0.4 for the GS2. Leaked a few days ago by sammobile.com. Is there any way to tell if the MMC_CAP_ERASE is still present in Samsung's new kernel? Or that is is at least equal to 0?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Mobile Odin Pro
Just a heads up. I purchased and used Mobile Odin Pro from since the release and have always used that ever since to flash leaked or official samsung roms due to the fact the pc version bricked my i5800 years back. Happy to say, It never failed me, Also it has support for Wipe Data and Also Dalvik cache. Options to Enable Ever Root, Inject Super Su (Best), And Mobile Odin so your always ROOTED :good:. Gotta hand it to Chainfire for his awesome works. I would suggest for everyone to use it for a worry free Day anytime changing non custom recovery roms, also I have had problems using superuser in the past when trying to install CWMR. Never with Super SU Pro, That's why I use it. Before thinking this post is not useful, think about it, you would be able to wipe data before flashing with no need to worry and perform it via fake recovery or CWMR. Also Odin performs MD5 checksum at your request to ensure its official.

[Q] Unroot i717 help

After extensive research, I have finally given up on looking for my answer.
Please have mercy on my tired soul for having to ask the next question:
Is there a way to unroot your phone without using Odin? My USB Port is damaged.
Thus, I am returning it to ATT warranty to get a new one.
I want to make sure that they won't be able to notice that the phone was rooted.
Stock rom, stock kernely; counter, the whole shibangbang.
Is there a way you can simply flash via CWM or..? Something that doesn't require a USB.
Any sort of direction or advice is much appreciated!
Thank you in advance, even if you don't have a response, thanks for reading.

They can easily use an external battery to use the phone.
Then they'll see all the amazing mods.
I remember reading somewhere that you can do it with Mobile ODIN Pro from the play store, no PC required. You'll have to drop 5 bucks on it but I imagine that beats $500 on a new Note
Mobile Odin doesn't support the note. But you should double check me in case he made a version for us.
Ah I think you're right. I think what I read was for the international version. My mistake!
In the super everything stickie there was a method to return to stock without a PC. That should work for you.

Brother let me tell you what u have to do, either way if Ur usb port is screwed u have to keep Ur cell I'll tell ya why. First you are rooted. Second you probably flashed another rom. Third your flash counter. Why not buy a USB port and attempt the fix your self or take it to a repair shop near by u? The fix is cheap.
This happened to me my USB port was shorted and if u move the cable at a right position it would or wouldn't charge or USB to PC. Got lucky enough to flash, reset counter, and also flash recovery stock via adb. Shipped the phone next morning to att since I already received my replacement phone(which glass screen lens is cracked now) will fix it waiting for parts

I have an AT&T repair center in town here. I called AT&T for my issue, got them to say "yea ok we'll do a warranty on it" so I took the time to unroot it, return to stock reset the flash counter and after I waited for 15 minutes while the guy showed a blond how to load pictures onto her iphone he took a quick look at my phone, checked the notes on my account and handed me a refurb. he didn't boot it, didn't look at flash counter, nadda. so take it as you will. I would however flash a stock rom and remove your custom recovery but I'm not sure about dealing with the counter.
Download SUPER USER PRO from the google play and iinstall (course)on settings you should have the option to FULL UNROOT there see pictures!!!!!

There is a zip file for the stock recovery that you can flash in recovery (cwm or twrp). I used it before. Can't remember exactly where I found it though. Check the Super Everything thread. It may be in there.

Do you have clockworkmod recovery installed? If so try going into recovery and wipe the cache and dalvik cache

You might give some more info on what all you did or what file you were trying to flash....
Sounds like the problem of Gingerbread root on ICS system, or vice-versa. Just redo your work, ensuring you use the appropriate file for your system.
By the way, NEVER tweak your system until you learn to move important stuff to your external sd card or pc.
Boot into clockwork mod. Do factory wipe, wipe dalvik/cache. Should fix it.

Its the best advice that's why it deserves an echo!

Really? I think the best advice was rangercaptain's advice followed by crixley. OP was using odin which means he was trying to install a rooted kernel most likely from a different android version or he was installing CWM. So I highly doubt he has CWM installed and functioning. So how is he going to boot into CWM??
Well I guess I thought he followed the proper instructions and installed cwm first. I admittedly skimmed most of the posts.

What if we can't get into clockwork mod any more?

I screwed mine up by not wiping after installing the new Cyanogenmod. The thing is, I can't get it to boot into clockwork mod recovery mode any more. Volume up + home + power is not doing it. Have I bricked it?

Its volume up + volume down + power hold those.
ROM: Jamie's 4.2.2. Previews\Jellybam v6.6.0\Sons Of Android.
Kernel: Chris's Aces Kernel.

I have to chime in here...I have bricked mine, too, started with 4.0.1...I installed cwm-LATEST touch-i717, followed by openrecovery-twrp-2.2-sgh-i717-signed, ran fine. Then I was going to use Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC8-d2att.zip, but used the wrong gapps (Google Apps) file, gapps-jb-20120726-signed, instead of Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC8-gapps. Now, I have a black screen, and on my Mac, the thing just connects and reconnects all by itself! Can I get out of this, if I can't get to a restore screen?

You were going to flash the wrong Rom anyways d2att is s3. Would have bricked you right there if you flashed it. If you can't get to download mode or recovery you will most likely need jtag

Is that something one can do themselves? What is JTAG?

A JTAG is a recovery service offered for bricked phones. You can find one for your device at mobiletechvideos.com for 50$. Just Google android JTAG service. It will come up. Hit thanks

There has to be another answer...
When you find it, come back here and share it with us.
JTAG service costs $50, takes a week, and restores a phone that cannot enter recovery, or download mode, or isn't recognised by a computer.

Just to chime in here... I just got my AT&T Note back from MobileTechVideo. I had them do a JTAG repair ($50) and ordered a new jig. They replied with fast, reliable service. I highly recommend them if you decide to send your phone out for repair.

Thanks, but I found someone a little more personal...when I approached them, they simply recommended that I send it to them, rather than try some basic troubleshooting... Maybe just the way they do things...lots of volume with MobileTechVideo...
