Quick question, I searched but just want to be sure. I recently come over to ics but might want to go back to stock with root. Will doing a nandroid backup take me there if that's when I did it?

I suggest flashing UnNamed if you want a stock rom feel & look with a few extra benefits.
Also ShoStock but its more beefy with nice additions but still stock base.

Ok so i restored my stock backup because i needed to do a fresh install of unnamed. now when i turn the phone off it comes right back on and when i try to go into recovery it just continues booting up. what have i done and what do i need to do?
Even with phone on you can press and hold power and both volume up and down. Keep holding it and it will boot you into recovery.

there is no need to go to stock to do a new rom flash
The problem is fixed but now i face a new dilemma. When i go to turn the phone off it comes right back on. Even with a hard shut down. Also happens when i pull the battery and put it back in. It will turn on again by it self. I am on unnamed 1.3.1 with the blue monkey theme. Any ideas?
what if maybe your power button is tweaked?

If you revert the root using entropy rom and a jig you can return it for warranty work undetected.

Ok I'm honestly baffled here. My battery life has been terrible. Here's what has been done recently. two days ago I restored my stock back up and flashed unnamed 1.3.1. Noticed my battery was dying very quickly. So I went into cwm. Wiped data, cache and davik cache and reflashed unnamed 1.3.1. My battery is dying no exaggeration about 10% every 40-50 minutes. In addition to all this...my phone wont stay turned off. It turns it self on after about 2 seconds. Ugh please help me.

Also when you say go back to 100% stock...do you mean like restore my stock back up? Or am i going back to 100% stock unrooted? Or what? I've seen a couple threads, I'm just confused so I apologize. If you could guide me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Use Entropy512's return/unbrick to stock package. Or I have an Odin3 OneClick Downloader of his package is you prefer. It's a little easier. See the link in my signature.
There is no such thing as a backup of 100% stock. To make a working nandroid backup, you need to already have a custom kernel installed.

Thank you so much. I will check it out when I get home. So after I do that I'll still be rooted? Or do I need to root again before I flash a rom again? I promise im almost out of noob questions.
And I might try getting a new battery to fix the other problem. I'd hate to have to send my phone in for warranty
EDIT: ok i just looked at your link with odin 3. say i use the one without root. i would essentially be bone stock out of the box correct? and from there i could just start over, use the guide on how to root, etc.?

The only difference between the two packages is one will give you root while the other will not. If you go with the one with root you will be 100% stock aside from root. I only recommend going 100% because then you'll know it won't be any rogue apps draining the battery or issues from a custom rom. If you get the expected battery life stock rom has then you'll know the battery is good. If it's lower than what is usually is for stock rom most at&t stores will replace the battery on the spot for you.
So no benefit of going with the package without root unless you're taking it back to at&t.

thanks for the effort but dont do that.
after some reading, designgears .exe leak changes everything INCLUDING flashing ics bootloaders. if you read dag8s op he uses gingerbread bootloaders with ics on top to allow you to restore back to a gingerbread backup seamlessly.
Otherwise you will have to manually flash gb bootloaders

my guess is downloading the ODIN version of the stock gingerbread, and then flashing it through ODIN.
I take no responsibility if you brick your device though.

It shouldn't. All I did was boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then install from sd card.

I bricked my phone, I want to know why
Hi.
First of all I apologize for my not so good English.
The thing is that I hard bricked my note i717 by flashing a wrong kernel and now I know that JTAG is my only option, but I want to know if they are going to be able to bring my phone back to life, I don't live in the US that is the reason why I want to be 100% sure before I send it.
I was experiencing some problems with the USB not being recognized by any computer, after searching and reading a lot of post it came dawn to an incompatible kernel (something to do with the fast-charge option) so I´ve tried to flash a fast-charge compatible kernel but I downloaded it wrong and BAM!!! my phone is just a brick now (kinda useful to hold the door)
Full info:
I had the stock AT&T rom, then flashed some other roms without problems until this one:
cm-10.1-20130304-experimental-quincyatt-m2, that's where the USB problems began... after that one I had pa_quincatt-2.57-20120122-201611 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686320)
My question is:
Is it possible to connect the device(you know the JTAG method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0SX3iDuIZc ) now that it is hardbricked even if it wasn't recognized before bricking?
I appreciate the responses in advance. :laugh::laugh:
I was on CleanRom ACE 5.0 I think. Then I deleted my EFS data from within the service menu. Then I couldn't get a cell signal.
Today I flashed back to a stock I605VRAMC3 using ODIN. That didn't fix it.
Can you please point me in the right direction on how to fix this?
I've read the forum for about 3 hours and can't find the answer.
Thanks.

No, I have twrp installed on my phone, but didn't make a backup on this phone.
I don't think I have any saved backups from older phones either.
Is there a file I can copy to my phone or ADB commands to make it work?
I've seen a few posts where people ask for the EFS files, maybe there are three of them?
I don't know what the result of those requests were.

Thanks! I had replaced my Note 2 in December using my assurian insurance with $100 deductible. So I called them today and told 'DonTrey' what happened. He said they'd send me a new phone for free so I didn't argue.
It should get here tomorrow. Are there any issues flashing to the latest ROMs? Which one would you recommend?
Depends on what firmware is installed when you get it. If it's completely locked down then safestrap will give you root but no custom roms as of yet. I prefer meanbean but that's just my opinion. I run meanbean reborn v0.9 It's so smooth and battery life is the best. But again just my 2 cents.

OK thanks Macasus, I might try that meanbean. Is it a 4.4 or 4.3 Touchwiz based ROM? I saw some ROMs that included some stuff from the Note 3. I might try some of them out.
I'll do some reading and find out how to tell if my new phone is completely locked down. That would suck. I'm hoping it will arrive today.
I have a week of vacation, and of course I have to deal with my phone for half of it. I'm almost ready to jump ship and get an iPhone. j/k
