Messed around and tried to root a AT&T Galaxy S 2. I'm rooted but now back and search keys do not work on the bottom on the phones. I guess i need the stock AT&T kernel to flash back to?
Any help would be great thanks.
Source for the kernel has been released.just a matter of time untill the devs create something wonderfull you might look on samsungfirmware.com
I havent seen a kernel specific to the att version. Not sure if anyone has made one yet. You might be stuck untill e get one but I dont think it will be to long. Good money says D.G. Is already on it.

How did you get the ATT version so soon?

Yeah International kernels dont support bottom keys since they aren't on the Int' version so if you used one of the kernels you will need to go stock like you said or wait for DG to cook up his genius like another poster said.
This might not be the right place for this question and I know it's still very early but anyone think there'll be a way to unlock the AT&T SGS2 for other carriers? I know the Captivate could be unlocked simply by rooting and downloading an app from the market. I only ask because I'll be getting the phone on release day and I'm heading out of the country for 3 weeks. would love to use it wherever I go.
All you have to do is call ATT and ask a rep for the unlock code for your phone once you have it in your hands and they will give it to you.
Make sure to write it down and save it somewhere.

There may be a waiting period that i'm not sure about. I was under the impression you just had to have the phone's imei number and verification you own the phone and they would give you the unlock code on request.

It is that simple. However, a lot of recent new phones had been put on 10-month exclusivity clause by AT&T that includes Captivate which means AT&T won't give you unlock code until 10 months after the phone has been released.
The normal waiting period is 90-day if you purchase on contract. But given GS2 will be on 10-month lock, you won't get your code until next summer.
post a tutorial on how to get it and ill upload it for you.

Someone who has not flashed a modded kernel will have to pull it.
The good news is - you have the first step. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17777056&postcount=42
Now that you have a rooted kernel with a stock /system, you can get a system partition dump.
Get ADB up and running, and paste the results of running the following command in an ADB shell:
Code:
mount
From that we can figure out which partition is the system partition. After that, the following command (need to put correct system partition into it) will create a system dump:
Code:
dd if=/dev/systempartitionlocation of=/sdcard/system.img bs=1M
If you upload that dump to multiupload and put the link here, someone (maybe myself, although I'm 50/50 on whether I'll actually purchase a device) can root that dump and make an Odin-flashable system partition image. This can be flashed to a phone that has the stock kernel to get root and dump the stock kernel.

zImage can't be dumped without a rooted /system.
Do you have root via kernel? If so, get a dump as described above so someone can root their /system and get the stock zImage

Stop kidding yourself Entropy. You're getting this phone. You're addicted now.
I'll be getting mine tomorrow.
And my m8 is getting his the same day.
I don't get off work until 6, but I will be flashing mine with an i9100 kernel, and obtaining a system image. Then I will be flashing my m8's with that image, and dumping the zimage to flash back to my own, that is if you all haven't gotten it done by then.

Tried SAUROM, experiencing quite worse connectivity, esp. when switching between LTE and 4G. Would prefer to go back to complete stock, like the AT&T Odin-flashable tar that Da_G posted here but for Telus instead.
I have CWM and Odin so I don't believe format is an issue (img/tar/zip)
Can anyone help?

I too request the stock Telus Galaxy Note Firmware... If anyone can dump it, please do so!
I would also like Telus stock rom if possible.
Thanks.
If anyone is running stock Telus and is willing to do a dump, I'm sure me or anyone else here asking for this would be more than willing to type up instructions/guide you through the process of dumping the stock stuff!

sadly, as I wrote to Jckpsa already,
you can only do one of the two things.
either dump system, or get the data for the flash counter reset.
unless there is a way to dump the system image, that does not require root...

Wouldn't the best solution be for you to dump the stock rom/kernel/recovery while jckpsa pulls the flash counter reset?
I did "adb pull /system"
and I got these:
folders:
app, bin, csc, etc, fonts, framework, hdic, lib, media, T9DB, tts, usr, vsc, xbin
files:
build.prop, CSCFiles.txt, CSCVersion.txt, SW_Configuration.xml
770MB total, 1,339 files.
And there is a stock TELUS kernel in the Android-Development section.
I can upload those system folders/files if that will help.

I really need a stock odin or system because somehow I managed to forget to make a backup and I need to exchange my phone...

As far as I know, you need to input this code:
c:\> adb shell
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img
# exit
c:\> adb pull /sdcard/system.img
c:\> adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img
c:\> adb pull /sdcard/boot.img
From there, we just need to be able to make it an Odin-flashable tar file. I'm not quite sure of those specifics, can somebody else pull through here?
Okay if a stock image isn't posted up in time, am I going to get hassled if I am within my first 30 days and instead put the phone into a bootloop so TELUS cannot see that I've modified it (unless they go into recovery or download mode eep)? I really wouldn't like to do this if possible but if I do, I'll have a stock telus note and will upload the rom

I say try, bootloop should throw them off
I think I would need to root my phone to pull those dds.
Glad to help if I can but my phone is unrooted... Let me know.
That's quite the dilemma if true - how does one pull if adb su requires root?
edit: disregard the below because I realized the thread is also about having the stock recovery.
Doesn't one just flash Clockworkmod through ODIN and then perform a completely stock nandroid backup
This is the point where one would then flash the rooted kernel and/or ROM. I was positive that I did a backup before flashing the root kernel but I believe I was a little too excited
Anyone with a new Telus Galaxy Note that is untouched should reply to this thread so we can get a stock img of our device.

I wouldn't mind getting the images, if possible. Actually only need the recovery image. I haven't touched any of the others yet.
I have a Bell Note and am planning to try and pull the system.img, kernel, and recovery before I try ICS. Just trying to figure out how to get all three. I'm thinking from what I read that I can only get two of the three. Flash Da_G's 3e recovery +adb root and grab the system and kernal but lose the recovery. Or (and I'm not as clear on this one) flash his pre-rooted kernel and grab system and recovery and be missing the kernel. Catch 22 I think. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had found that, but the part I'm fuzzy on is does flashing Da_G's pre-rooted kernel change anything about the stock ROM that would make pulling it irrelevant?

I don't know. I just got the Note this saturday passed. Soo excited. But I'd suggest, if you haven't flashed anything yet, get a hold of braway. He seems to need raw data from Bell Galaxy Note to help restore flash counter to 0.
Check out this link if you would like to do that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24349492&postcount=109
I found that link too late, and had already flashed CWM.

So braway got back to me. Long and short of it is one person Note can't give all the data. Some data needs to be lost so the rest can be pulled. On the up side, between two people, we can get all the data we need. One person to pull kernel, modem, mdm, and system by flashing CWM, and one person to pull recovery and flash counter data by temp flashing mashi's rooted AT&T system. This way we'd have everything. I volunteer to grab the former (kernel, etc). If someone else would grab the recovery and flash counter, we'd be in business.
Thank you so much to braway for the help, and marshals for pointing me in his direction!

I've already lost the original recovery due to me installing CWM and my flash counter is at 1. So no help from me. Sorry. But everything else is untouched, so if anything else is needed, i'll be glad to help.
Just a little warning. If you flash is, you will loose youth stock bell modem. If you are doing a system pull. Do a modem pull with adb as well

Okay marshal, braway suggested we work together on this. Assuming you've done nothing else to your Note (root etc), if you can pull kernel, modem (amss), mdm, and system, I'll grab recovery and flash counter data. Braway already showed me how to pull kernel, etc in PM. See quote below. Let me know if you're able to do this. Otherwise, we'll need to find another person and different division of labour. Thanks!
braway said:
so, the easiest is probably to simply install cwm through odin
that will increase the counter, but doesn't touch system, kernel, modem...
then, boot to recovery
cwm provides you with root shell access through adb, so you can pull all the data you need...
I think the important data is:
kernel, modem (amss), mdm (part of modem?), system
commands (would dump the data on your internal sd, the sds are mounted differently in recovery):
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/emmc/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/emmc/amss.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/emmc/mdm.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/emmc/system.img.ext4
Note: that would dump it on your internal sd, replace emmc with sdcard if you want it on your external sd

I did root it, but it didn't touch the kernel. It was a video I watched from zedomax. The superuser-3.0.7-efgi-signed.zip. All it does is remove existing su, copy over superuser, change modes and thats basically.
I will do the commands you suggested and zip them up and dropbox them.

Braway only wants the flash counter which I can give him. But I can't give it to him if I don't have a backup of stock, kernel, etc for my own use. The whole reason I'm doing this is so I can revert to stock without AT&T stuff on my phone if I decide to go back (e.g.: for OTA update when Bell releases ICS in May). As I understand it, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but a rip of the ROM doesn't have personal info in it. If it does, I apologize for you doing all that.
Oh, ok.. I wouldn't think there would be info either. Any of that stuff would be in /data I suppose.
Essentially, I'm trying to make a stock Bell ROM so that anyone can go back to stock without having to use the stock AT&T ROM that some Canadian Note owners have been running into issues with.
About The ROM
Revision is based on I605VRALJB. Also, it's been specifically designed to be the most stable image to fall back on before or after flashing kernels, recoveries or ROMs. It will put your device into the MOST working condition possible currently. The only more possibly stable image would be the one your device came with and we don't have that.
What is Revision?
Revision is a stepping stone. It puts your device into a relatively stock, and known working condition.
Tweaks
I added the following tweaks to the ROM for usability and hackability.
Carrier Unlocked for AT&T network.
Rooted with ERD Chainfire's SuperSU
Bash
Busybox
i2cdetect, i2cdump, i2cget, i2cset
ipctool
strace
tcmpdump
viewmem
PARAMS: UART Logging Increased
PARAMS: UART Root Prompt at battery charging
PARAMS: UART Shell terminal during normal operations
The PARAMS will be available in a future CASUAL application for testing.
Download Revision3 ROM repacked
Troubleshooting
Windows users: First uninstall PDANET drivers, then install Samsung Kies.
Here's some notes I wanted to record:
Uncompressing a Samsung System image
Code:
./ext4_utils/simg2img ./originalsystem.img ./working.img
Compressing a Samsung Image
Code:
sync; sudo ./ext4_utils/make_ext4fs -s -l 1792M -a ./temp ./system.img /path/to/mounted image
Create a tar.md5.gz file from a set of images..
Code:
tar -H ustar -c boot.img hidden.img modem.bin param.bin recovery.img system.img tz.img sboot.bin>./Revision1.tar;sync md5sum Revision1.tar >> Revision1.tar; mv Revision1.tar Revision1.tar.md5; sync; gzip Revision1.tar.md5 -c -v >Revision1.tar.md5.gz;
the tools are available on the internet.
Revision1: initial release
Revision2: Fixed Baseband issue. The PARAMS were to blame for this. Removed features to add functionality.
Revision3: Carrier Unlock for AT&T.. needs more work to get rid of Verizon warning. Thanks Joder for the APN info.
Revision3 repacked: apparently there was an issue with the uploaded Revision3. Repacked is a properly repackaged version of Revision3.
thx

Yeah, I saw that one too. No AT&T specific ones that i saw. One of the reasons why I asked if you could use one of those successfully on an ATT variant.

Actually, didn't even think about it, but I will have my bone stock replacement tomorrow. So I'll have that one and the one I need to return to stock. Now I just need to figure out how to grab all the goods off the new stock one. I was reading Mr.Hofs thread about stock backups. Do you know how to do it? Not sure I completely understand. Do you put the custom recovery in your fastboot folder and then boot that through the pc?

unlock bootloader, reboot system "so many people don't do this and it causes boot loop" once in system, copy supersu.zip to your phone.
get newest twrp but DONT flash it
keep twrp on computer and go to boot loader and type "fastboot boot twrp***.img" this will boot into twrp without flashing recovery.
obviously you need to put path to twrp in your command. Once in twrp, flash supersu and reboot. open supersu and update or whatever but VERIFY that you have root with root checker or something. while in system, open terminal or whatever you use and type
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p43
exit
When you type SU make sure you watch your phone because you may have to allow it root. This command will drop recovery.img into the root of your sd. verify you have it then copy it to your computer and on your old phone, just go to boot loader and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
then "fastboot erase cache"
PLEASE let me have a copy of this as I did not back mine up. Message me when its done and i'll let you upload it to me. We need to get stock att recovery out there so people have access to it until ruu's come out. There is no private info in recovery either if you are wondering. I would have backed mine up but didn't know you could boot into recovery since you could not with the m7.

Thanks. I'll do it tomorrow evening. I just went through the instructions that are in that other thread. I tried it on my current phone and it seems to have worked. I browsed to the clockwork folder and found the 24mb recovery.img (twrp). I'm gonna do a full backup (recovery, system, etc) of the new phone right out of the box tomorrow. And of course I'll share it! I'll get with you once it's done.

Thanks. I just need the recovery.img i backed up my phone, just didn't get recovery.
I would also like to obtain a stock att recovery.img if at all possible. I rushed to get s-off and completely forgot to backup stock recovery.

Dropbox, mega, or devhost are free.

Alright cool. I'll set one of those up. Any one easier/better than the other?

Mega probably has the most storage space for a free account. If you download the dropbox app for your phone, can have it back up pictures there as well as other methods. Devhost is ok, but they tend to have slow download speeds, not that it would matter too much with such a small file.
I have a stock recovery image from my M8, if you still need it. XDA won't allow to post a link, until I have 10 posts. I will PM the link.

Me too please, can upload it to a couple sources and link in here.
If not posted by the morning I post stock recovery from dump
PM sent with the link.
I can't post links yet, cuz i have less than 10 post.
Here is the stock recovery thanks to @gcc121! Both links have the same file, just different sources for those that want them.

Noob question how would you run this? Through twrp? Does it make the phone completely stock?

Ive been trying to root this thing, and got really close but ruined the /system.
So i found one in the discontinued Twrp thread but that one is rooted. I need to be able to update the watch from what it is at
My goal is to try and bring everyone together to make this a group project.
Edit*
Looks like kingroot can be uninstalled via their exe so i can update the watch.
Could the /system be retrieved by any user?
Maybe you should write a tutorial?

What im finding is that su is absolutely needed to pull the system partition which kinda sucks a little bit.
Tomorrow I will be working on another solution, which if I can get it to work, can be used to pull whatever off the watch, which in turn, can be used to get a absolutely untouched image. If not ill dump what i have made onto the forum so other people can poke at it in hopes that we can root this thing, and get it going.

Why don't you just do a rooted boot img. Your over working yourself. Unlock the bootloader. Make your boot.img. then inject superuser. Enjoy root.
