[Q] Galaxy Note Counter reset - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I am having trouble resetting the flash counter on my AT&T Galaxy Note I717 phone. I have downloaded the counter reset.zip file I have found on the XDA website and I copied the .zip file on to the phone and rebooted in to the recovery mode and then selected the .zip file and it keep aborting. I keep getting a error
E:signature verification error
install aborted.
What am I doing wrong to get this to rest? Since I have had this phone I have updated it to the ICS rom that is on the XDA website and the converted back to the AT&T GB rom that is on this web site using the Odin program. Now when I hook my Galaxy Note to my pc and use the Kies software to sync my phone I see under Firmware info it says that "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies." Then is shows the firmware as PDA:LA1/PHONE:LC5/CSC:LA1 (ATT). Is this the correct firmware I should have with this phone? I am back to the GB Rom 2.3.6. I did not back up the factory rom before I did an upgrade to ICS.

Just checked my stock GB rooted w/CWM on Kies and it shows PDA:LA1 / Phone:LA1 / CSC:LA1 (ATT). Maybe you have the incorrect radio modem installed?

How do I get the correct radio modem firmware installed? I downloaded the AT&T GB rom and the kernal that is on this web site for the Galaxy Note I717 General page then under
[REF] Start up guide for rooting, recovery, ROMs, de-brick, and tether updated 04/2
section. then I downloaded the AT&T kernal and GB rom that I found.

Not sure if the incorrect radio is your issue or not, maybe someone else can chime in. Check this thread for stock radio

Thanks that fixed the Kies issue not seeing the correct firmware. Now all I need to do is to figure out how to rest the flash download counter. It keeps failing when I copy the .zip file to the phone and go to the recovery and then I select the .zip file and then it fails. Not sure what I am doing wrong or if I need to have some other file to reset the counter.

Why didn't you do a NANDroid backup of your factory ROM?

I just for got to do it untill it was to late. I have already installed ICS rom I found on this XDA site when I knew I for got to back it up. Its just one of those thing I guess. I am also still kind of new to install ROM's and unlocking the phones. But I have it figured out now. My phone is back to normal. I am on GB 2.3.6 and I have the correct stock raido software and every thing. The only thing that I am running is the touch version of the Clockworknod. I was able to reset the flash counter and every thing. The only thing I have to question since I had to run the Clockworkmod to reset the flash counter is how do I get back to the orginial recovery rom with out raising the flash counter? I had to use the the ClockWorkMod to reset the flash counter is because I keept getting a siginature verification error when I put the reset flash counter on my phone and then booted in to recovery and then ran the .zip file and it kept on giving me an error. So all is well now. Now waiting for the ICS OTA to come out.

Cannot upgrade to ics official

I have searched and searched and cannot find a solution. Here is my problem. I bought a note 2 weeks ago. I updated to ICS through kies. At the very end of the update my pc had a blue screen of death and reset on me. The update seemed to take though as I was on ICS when I checked my android version. So I proceeded to install cmw and root my phone. I had been noticing some issues regarding uninstalling downloaded apps. I decided to connect to kies again and lo and behold I received a message saying that the update had not completed and I needed to do an emergency firmware recovery. Well, since my phone was rooted kies wouldnt do it. So, instead I decided to try to install official ICS (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) through odin. It fails every time. It goes all the way to the end and fails on (write).
I decided to take my note back to stock GB and see if that may help. I got it back to stock using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330 and on download mode it showed custom binary: yes and current binary:custom also the flash counter read 4. I am however back to GB. I tried kies and it still says that my phone cant be upgraded through kies. This is what it says under current firmware version: PDA:LA1 / PHONE:LF6 / CFC:LF6 (ATT).
Next I tried installing cmw on the stock build and resetting the flash counter in hopes that kies would then be able to upgrade. Since doing that download mode now shows custom binary: no current binary: official samsung and no flash counter. However, I am still unable to upgrade through kies (still says my device cannot be upgraded through kies) or the flashable odin tar (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) still fails at the end when it has to write.
I just want official ics on my phone. I really hope someone can help me. I am very sorry if this has been answered, I hope you can see that I have done some searching and exhausted any options that I have found. Thank you in advance.

Thx for your response. I did see that thread and gave the kies suggestion a go earlier, however kies kept crashing.
At this point i may just flash a custom rom. Any suggestions? Looking for something ics with touchwiz.
Just wanted to provide a little more info. I am at&t. Also, in the thread i refernced with the stock gb tar there is also a few other files underneath. Stock kernel only odin tars, one of which is for at&t. I did not install that. Also, cwm is still installed on the phone. Can that be whats causing kies to reject the device?
Looks like you have the GB rom and ICS radio and that's why Keis is not recognizing your rom. Flash the stock GB radio from the dev section and Keis should update. If not, you should be able to perform emergency firmware restore through Keis. There is a thread in the general section that details how to enter your serial number, etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731654
This procedure should put you on the latest firmware regardless of root or what you currently have installed.
You could flash one of the debloated official ICS ROMs.
I'm not sure but I think Bigfau has the complete official posted. Flappjaxxx has a nice one also

I went with bigfau. I installed the better stock ics rom. Works like a charm. Thank you to those that replied.

could be one of a few things wrong. from the information your giving....................
kies unsupported firmware???.......are your drivers updated? uninstall and re install updated
as far as the recovery error.....what is the error?.........status 7 says your recovery needs updating. most are using TWRP now instead of CWM
you said you are familiar with rooting, but is the Note rooted? though you don't have to be rooted to flash
maybe its just me, I play it more safe than most, but why wouldn't someone just get the upgrade officially through Samsung. you get the firmware and drivers in same place. then if something were to go wrong, its not your fault.
Ignore the firmware message and follow the instructions outlined by 440bro in this post. Easiest way to update to stock 4.1.2.

[Q] Another soft-bricked Verizon Gs4

Hey everyone, i am not a very experienced android user by any means and i made the mistake of updating my stock ROM on my Verizon GS4 while rooted. The phone worked properly but i lost my root. I tried to revert the phone back to stock by downloading the SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Srock_restore.tar file, but when i used Odin to flash the "stock" tar file, it failed and my phone now says that there is a problem updating the firmware (something about placing the phone into recovery and into Kies.) I can still boot the phone to that display page and i can still get into "download" mode. I really need Help.
PS: I tried searching the forums but i couldn't find anything similar to my problem based on the fact that i updated my firmware...

Once updated, the bootloader will not allow you to revert to older images.
Grab the ME7 image from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357235
and flash it using Odin.

[Q] System Software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone

So, I'm trying to fix an AT&T Samsung Mega SGH-I527. The person I am trying to fix it for had bought it rooted, then recently tried to install an update (I'm guessing the NE7 update) and it threw his phone into a bootloop. If I attempt to go into Recovery, it says: "Secure fail: Kernel. System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help."
I can still enter download mode.
I've tried repartitioning it with the PIT file and flashing a MK2 tar through Odin, however, that fails every time.
I have tried searching for an NE7 tar file, but with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this phone up and running?
Thanks in advance!
check out my thread in like a hour or so. Im uploading the odin package for kitkat 4.4.2.

Go into the General forum, apparently there is a person by the name of SUNDERWER who has come up with an Odin flashable file.
Go check it out
Good luck. I beleive you needed to unroot first before updating via OTA, but your not the first to have this problem.

If you haven't found it yet, Droidstyle's guide should help you restore your phone. You can find the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181
Depending on what firmware version you were on (4.1.2, 4.3, or 4.4.2) you will want to restore the phone back to that firmware version that you were on. If you were on 4.4.2... then you can't downgrade down to 4.3 or any earlier firmware versions. Same goes for 4.3..can't downgrade to earlier builds. There are bootloader security measures in place that prevent downgrading.
I think Droidstyle's 4.1.2 firmware link is down.... so you can get 4.1.2 from XDA developer imnuts thread (under VRAMC3/Mirror 2) at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35265728.
You can also get all the firmware files at Sammobile by clicking on this hyperlink HERE.
Hope this helps.
im on the nd7 firmware currently im thinking its the newest out so which one can i down grade to?

Unfortunately... if you are on ND7, then you cannot downgrade... it will fail in Odin every time because of bootloader security measures that prevent reverting back to earlier firmware versions.
If you were on 4.4.2, then you can download the firmware for 4.4.2 ND7 from Sammobile and use Droidstyle's Restore guide to flash the 4.4.2 firmware (including the step of flashing the pit file). His guide should still work to help you restore the phone.
After the ODIN flash is complete and you see a pass message in Odin, then power the phone off and boot the phone back up into stock recovery. Then do a factory reset to make sure your getting everything wiped... as I don't believe Odin wipes everything thoroughly.
