Hello All!
I have posted a thread a while ago about my htc amaze having so many issues after rooting and installing ROMs.
Luckly, I was able to return my phone and get it exchanged as I only had it for 1 week... so I got saved!
Now, with my new one, I still want it to be able to read Arabic correctly!
Rooting the device isn't the issue, I think I did it the first time with no problems (except for installing the ROM)
It seems like because I'm with "Wind Mobile" I can't flash the device, and I can't even get ICS when it becomes available.... I guess Wind customers are out of luck! (at least that's what I have been reading online)
I'm very new to Android world, and I like the phone the way it is except for supporting languages.
So I don't care if it's rooted or not, and all of these cool stuff. I just want Arabic!
My questions are:
1- Can I root my device, and add a patch without adding custom ROMs as I don't want to reck my phone again
So I want to keep the current ROM. "stock". and still add the patch. is this doable?
2- Regarding ICS. When the update comes out, will it be to specific cell phone carriers? I mean if you are with T-mobile -for example- you're good, and if not too bad?
does it depend on which company you are with, or just which phone you have?
I think that's it for today, lol... I'll wait for your answers
Thanks in advance!
well, the easiest way to get root is to flash a custom rom,
if you have the device rooted with stock, you could just flash the patch
if there is an ICS rom, you should be able to flash it

Thank you EclipzeRemix for replying!
Actually that is very promising, you gave me hope, and your reply is very encouraging!!!
So basically when the ROM (the offical one) comes out then I can flash it regardless of which company I'm with right?
just making sure I got it right lol

I don't know the answer about OTA updates after rooting, but to be honest, I'd be surprised if another OTA update ever happens for the Hero.

Oh ok n also I was readi thru my phone n it shows that what he's doin is instalin a costum rom n wouldn't do erase everythin on my phone?
Yes, installing a custom ROM would erase everything on your phone (although he also instructs you on how to do a nandroid backup of your previous setup). However, if all you want to do is root the phone you can do that without having to do any of the other stuff. Just download, install, and run Universal Androot as instructed in that thread, and you should have root without doing any other changes to the phone or your data.
Unfortunately rooting the T-Mobile G2 Touch isn't as simple as rooting a standard Hero GSM, T-Mobile made it quite difficult. I would suggest following this thread or using this tool
And if you don't install a custom rom or a rooted stock rom, your recovery will be overwritten, and you'll lose root on the first reboot.
The unrooted stock rom overwrites the recovery when rebooted.
Correct me if I'm wrong

Good point, I think you right in which case you will need to install a rooted stock ROM at the very least, which would mean wiping all your data
Sorry, I didn't know the G2 required a different rooting method.
Anyways, on my standard unlocked Hero I did not loose root when rebooting on the stock ROM, although as you said it did overwrite my recovery. I do not know if this is the case on the G2.

T-Mobile did some pretty nasty stuff security-wise compared to the standard GSM Hero so rooting is a bit different. As for what happens on reboot I can't comment, but I would recommend using a custom ROM anyway, something like [email protected]'s MCR is great for someone who just wants it working like stock but with better performance. You should be able to add something like FlyKernel to it for the overclock.

Agreed. Once you go custom, you won't go back.

Yes, that one is the best. Works on Desire Z and Desire HD too. Worked fine on my Desire HD.
Please, switch to G2 forum from now on, as this thread is offtopic in this one.
sucessful tmobile G2 temp root using VISIONary r14 this morning!
I tried ROOT on my new tmobile G2 (GSM) I bought last week. I tried Universal Androot AND z4root and neither worked to get even temp root.
This morning, I used VISIONary r14 and sucessfully gained su root and disabled a few of the branding and blotware apps on MY phone! I still haven't been able to uninstall them completely, but at least they aren't starting automatically on boot. Here's the link that worked:
android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
these branded apps are WAY annoying! I'm not good with outfits like facebook and twitter having access to all my personal info and data, including fine GPS location!! and I can hardly believe tmobile imbedded these apps as they did. I'm still within my 14-day trial and may still return the phone because of this unless I can be sure I can get these apps OFF my back!
Hey im new to the forum and love the work you guys do here. I rooted my Photon so far have wifi tether and all the goodies like that up and running, however im interested in flashing a rom now.. BUT with Ice Cream Sandwhich (hopefully) coming soon to the Photon im a bit unsure.. Can i somehow restore my phone back to stock and do an ota or however they send (if they do) the ICS update for the photon? Assuming i do end up flashing a rom, and if i can restore it, how difficult would it be..? Also what would you guys advise for battery life, the Homebase or Alien rom? Its the biggest thing im looking for from flashing a rom really. I just dont want to go through and flash a rom on my phone then a few weeks later see ICS get sent out and i somehow cant update until a dev creates a rom of it. Thanks and sorry for nooby questions but ive been digging here for a while trying to find the answer to these. Thanks!!
You can restore to stock with an SBF flash/RSD Lite - easy enough.
The roms, you should try both and see which best suits your need and use.
Don't accept an OTA - it may ruin out root exploit.
I'm on home base ROM.v1.5 with update 4.2. Not much difference in battery life between the two ROM's and not much improvement that I have seen from stock.

+1 to this!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216143 - you'll need to go here if you haven't unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. It'll also answer your question about returning back to stock.
On a side note, has anyone tried the Star Wars ROM, i think people have forgotten about that one.
I never did try that one. Does it have any support still?

Looked at the thread. Looks like it hasn't gotten a lot of love in a while. It seems to be decent though.

Agreed... Make sure you follow the steps carefully because this phone is much easier to soft brick than others. I have done it a couple times.
Also, I agree with the other posters, unless you really just wanna try it it's not all that worth it yet. No real big gains in performance or battery life yet
Hi all,
I'm thinking about whether or not to root my phone and get ICS. Having answers to these two questions would really help me make my decision:
1. My phone is an unlocked G-Note i717 from the Bell network. I'm currently using it on Fido. Is there any way for me to get the 'official' ICS update? For example, will the update get pushed to my phone even if I'm not with the original carrier?
2. Which ICS custom ROMs have the S Pen (and S memo) fully working?
Looking forward to your 2 cents. Thanks very much!
I am not a developer but here is my opinion based on years of rooting and flashing roms on android devices:
1. As long as you are running stock Bell firmware and stock recovery, you should still get the official OTA from Bell, even if it's unlocked and running on Fido. You will lose root, though. Or you can wait for a dev to post a rooted stock ROM.
2. Presumably all ICS ROMs that are posted after the official build is released will support s-pen apps, unless the dev makes a conscious choice to not include them.
Hope this helps. Like I said, I'm not a developer by any means, just an experienced user.
I would say, go ahead and root and play around with some ICS roms in the meantime. You can always go back to stock. Just make sure you read, read, read to avoid any problems. The members of this forum provide alot of great guidance.
I got a question for you, I bought my note at Rogers and I'm on Fido. I didn't had to unlock the phone, is the Canadian Note sim-unlocked by default or it is just because I bought it from the same company?
Oh and also, don't worry about getting the ICS update, usualy there's a rom running on the new leaks that appears in the next day right after the official update.
Also, I tried DaGr8 Hybrid ROM on ICS and The Official ROM, both have a fully working s-pen and can be a daily rom.
Because Fido uses the rogers network. Its not unlocked.

Wanna know something funny? I had a Nokia 2720 sim-locked on Fido that wouldn't reconize a Rogers sim-card. I can tell you that I've been very happy when the Note just worked on first boot with my fido sim card.
Now I'm waiting for LTE :/

1. Yes the update will get pushed to your phone irrespective of the carrier, as long as you haven't rooted it.
2. There hasn't been an official upgrade to ICS from Samsung for G-Note. However, there are wonderful ICS Custom ROMs that have been developed built on the chinese ICS that was leaked in April.
If you haven't had any experience with rooting and flashing of roms and kernels, and are apprehensive of doing so, I suggest you wait for some more time as an official upgrade is round the corner.
Nevertheless, if you are even moderately experienced, you can flash one of these ROMs. My personal favorite is the ICS Stunner by Team Passion (only for the International version)
They have listed wonderfully clear guides on how to carry out the process on the official threads. And you can always go back to the stock ROMs if required.
Hope this helps. Press Thank You if it does.

Yes, @tmcquake is right.
However, the S-Pen features being a part of Samsung's propriety TouchWiz interface, you won't get the active-pen technology related features in these custom roms.

Oooooh, interesting... I was under the impression that the only ICS ROMs were for the N7000 and the AT&T I717 specifically, not the variant sold by Bell, TELUS or Rogers in Canada. So the Hybrid ICS will work on a TELUS SGH-I717D Note? I've rooted mine, but was going to wait patiently for the official ICS update from Samsung, but now I'm itching to try a third-party ROM...
The current roms are built on top of the touchwiz framework. Some run custom launchers, however they still keep s pen features due to them being coded into the most basic structures of the rom. When the official release comes the developers will ask Samsung for the source. After that devs can make "vanilla" versions of android. In these we will loose the s pen button functionality but it can still be used like your finger..
sent from me TouchPad. ICS of course.

The leak is based on the i717 (AT&T) without any doubt but I'm running it on my i717R without any issue so it should be the same for the Telus Note.
As you saw a new leaks have been release today, give our good devs just a fews days and we'll be able to flash it via cmw instead of via odin.
And I'll tell you, once you taste ICS you won't wanna downgrade to Gingerbread so do it as soon as you can!

I'm in no particular rush to reflash my Note, since it is pretty awesome as it is. I've had CM9 on my Touchpad since January, so I'm more interested in seeing how well an AOSP ROM will run. I am seeing some UI lag on the Note compared to CM9 on the Touchpad and CM7 on the Desire Z, and the Note should beat both of those. If I can also get ICS on the Note, even better.

Yes I had a GNex before the Note, no lag at all on the small 1.2 Gh/z then I bought the Note with the 1.5 Gh/h and noticed lot of lag with adw launcher. Now with ICS everything is just as smooth as the GNex. still need more tweaks hehe

how did you flash it on your i717R? I have the same as you and i've never been able to flash the leaked ics rom... I tought it was only for att.
Flash cmw via odin then download the rom in zip forma (ex : the Hybrid) then flash it via recovery mode. Follow the devs instructions before a flash!
Hello,
I'm trying to find if there is as of yet any way to root this device. I did find one thread but involved flashing a Russian (I think) rom. Before I had the HTC Legend, so I'm not used to Samsung phones. I've been searching since I got it yesterday. I'm wondering if anyone found a safe / confirmed way to do this yet. If I need to wait, I need to wait. I just wanted to pose the questions. I did fine a few roms and info on the Korean version of the phone, but was also unsure if it was safe to flash on this device.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.

In the same boat as you!! I don't want to flash any other roms as it can lead to other issues. As of now I hate not having root, but if it means I have to wait for a flashable. Zip, or a super one click. I can wait

I'm so willing to bet that there is one of the already exisiting Samsung phones that has the exact same physical characteristics and all the ROMs are compatible. I'm so sure. I'm hoping. I'm praying. You know, CM9 and all that. =(

Do want ICS!!
No offense for anyone but these generic ROMs tend to run with the least amount of efficiency with Bell's Radio and Kernel. I tried at least 10 of the CM9's out there. The battery life was useless. It was more of a gimmick than anything else.
Which section of the forum is being used for this phone?
Where is this Russian Rom that everyone is talking about? Please provide links to location on the forum!

I'm rooted but i dont know if i have CWM installed or not

bought the phone from Egypt
i think i speak for everyone when i say, dont bother at all.
the ICS only just been realeased in undeveloped form and is dangerous at this moment in time
just wait a month or two then read a few stickies about unlocking your bootloader and flashing roms!
Beware it's too early for daily use!

I would recommend MRom(build on CM7.2) which is pretty decent especially in regard of battery life, until they create a firm version of this ICS leak. It's probably going to be a Jelly Bean release because some guy succeeded to create a JB rom out of this leaked Atrix 4G ICS leak.
Thank you both for your replies
i'm not a complete noobie, i used to have the defy and i was always upgrading to cm10 nightlies

I'm definitly a noob and still trying to fill the gaps in my knowledge. Right now I still cannot figure out how to even root my phone (MB860) running android 2.3.4. I would really appreciate some advice from one of you. Is there any chance I can call one of you? I am in England but just bought 2 hrs of American minutes. I also have skype.
If any of you are interested in helping out a noob I would much appreciate it. I am technically very savvy, I'm just unclear as to the interfaces of Linux and Android and the different tools out there.
Before you tell me to, I have already read the thread for noobs.
Do let me know

I followed the link on that page and all it says is that that root method no longer works
Any other tips?

If all you want to do is root you can check out superoneclick root, it did the job for me on the last available GB update released. But remember that you have to have the proper drivers installed and that this does not allow you to flash custom roms, it simply gives you root access.
The drivers can be found here (I think).
superoneclick can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
also make sure to read a bit from that thread.
If you are a n00b don't install THAT rom... it's very unstable..
superoneclick rocks
superoneclick rocks, as does cwm recovery. Install both, and don't look back.
well , i managed to unlock bootloader and install recovery and now i just flashed cm10 by epinter
i love it
