On the boot up screen it now shows Samsung Galaxy SII
GT - I9100
Everything is running and working fine however the fact that its not a GT I9100 and its showing that really bothers me.

Minor glitch with the ! warning screen. The ! warning screen uses logo.jpg from param.lfs and not logo_att.jpg
To get rid of the ! warning you need to either use a jig or flash a stock kernel.
Once your system image is rooted, you can Odin/Heimdall a stock kernel, then flash a CWM-enabled kernel from the device. I've posted multiple times on other threads how to do this.
New to this Community just Converted from iPhone 4 and have to say I love this phone so far. Have a look around to find how to remove that from the boot screen. Thanks

Not as - ummm - refined
OK, I have the i777 AT&T GS2 or whatever else you wanna call it
Phone is awesome, however, I find that the rooted / CM7-Galaxys2ATT leaves a little to be desired...
Things like...
How do I get Navigator app to accept speech input like it did with original ?
Almost all the driver mode on options seem to be whacked...
Maybe I did something (else) dumb??
Thanks!

I'm the proud owner of a Galaxy Note i717 but the limitations of gingerbread are driving me crazy....so the first thing I want to do is root and flash a different ROM problem is I'm without a computer ugh.
I came across a YouTube video showing how to root the other model without using a computer so I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution for the i717 model.
So is it possible to root the i717 galaxy note without a computer?
Help me out here guys any feedback is much appreciated....

I highly discourage trying anything other than what is posted in these threads...since it has been proven to best and most effective why of rooting and flashing...
in other words...You will need a computer and for a safety feature in case you soft brick or hard... you will have a need for a pc...computer.
do you have CWM on your device? like ranger stated below...no need to root to flash...
just my suggestions
You don't need root to flash an ics Rom.

Honestly I would not attempt to flash without a pc handy...due to the saying
"ya never know"
Even though we have the same make/model devices....they are not the same... my GNote may not like a ROM as to yours might...like I trying explaining ... the computer being your safety net if something goes wrong....I would wait or find a friend that you can use a computer, but it is your call, it is your investment.
btw unless someone knows a way to put CWM on the device without a computer....I believe you will need a computer...
Since CWM is a custom kernel, you could flash it from the phone using the Mobile Odin app.
Edit: oops never mind -- you need to be rooted to use Mobile Odin. Sorry for the bad information.
I rooted one phone using the terminal emulator after downloading such and busy box to the SD card. But its harder than climbing Everest without oxygen typing those commands.

So I Bought a Galaxy note (i717) the charger port is messed up on the device. It will charge, but it wont allow any PC connectivity. I have searched google and xda for information how how to root this phone with out a PC (aka using an .apk like framaroot) and I can not find a viable solution. I have tried Z4Root and Framaroot and neither of them work. Do you know of any other ways to root my device with out a pc? If i dont need a Root to Flash Could you point me in the right direction to find that information I haven't put CWM on the device yet because I Cant Root so I cant MobileOdin ect.. you see the picture lol. Is it possible to use an Update.zip file? or use a formatted SDcard to flash it like I did to Flash NookColor1?

I have rooted my phone:
1. You can block adds in apps with AdAway
2. You can make nandroid backups in cwm and backup apps + data with Titanium backup
3. You can increase volume with Volume+
4. You can wipe or freeze apps and widgets that you do not use.
5. Yoy can flash mods and themes for odexed roms
6. You can flash custom rom`s or kernels.
I you want to unroot use Triangle Away to reset the flashcounter , flash a stock rom and do a data/factory reset and your back to stock
And 7. You can use the Six axis app to wirelessly connect your PS3 control and therefore utilizing the usb out to connect via hdmi to play games on your big screen
Here's link for cf root,, it takes about 2 minutes if you are familiar with Odin,

There are many pages over the internet listing the pros/cons, so I wont relist them here.. The only thing I find most have missed out are the apps that are root protected.. If you use any that are it can become a pain, if not you don't really have much to lose...
if u use triangle away and restore your stock rom,.. your warranty is intact,...
damaging your phone depends on how you follow the given tutorials,...
also if I root and restoring to the factory settings warranty would be again available?

Its pointless not rooting and joining XDA much like a eunuch in a harem .

OP
Google rooting and weigh the benefits. Decide for yourself if its something you want to do. Lots of average users will never need root. If you find yourself NOT being able to do tasks you want, then root.. if you don't have a need to or are questioning if you should, then don't.

You can always ask help to somebody, and you can follow all the detailed instructions and videos tutorial at galaxys3root.com (i think it's the best), they have also links to this forum for better instructions.
I made it few days ago, rooting and unrooting it's very easy, always make backup of the original ROM installed.
Pay attention also at what country phone you will be rooting.
I had an xperia x10 so was not familiar with Odin but it takes about 30 seconds couldn't be much easier

I'm more of a little girl that doesn't want to void my warranty and afraid of bricking since I'm a klutz at modifying. Unless you want to potentially unlock your phone's capabilities then feel free to do so however if you aren't a North American user than your phone would most likely be void of warranty because I've read an article here somewhere made by xda that rooting doesn't void your warranty (North American users only) and I'm a south east asian user lol. For experts they feel free to do so since it's their expertise but average people like me money is hard to come by and I don't want to risk bricking it lol.
You can't really brick it rooting. Its flashing firmwares and ROMs/Kernels that can potentially brick you.. but nowadays it doesn't happen all too often. And there are methods to safeguard this. JTAG is available too for the S3.
But patriotaki .. you can find info in the Q&A and general sub forums, and for all the tools in the dev section come with instructions. Here's chainfires root method. Just follow the steps and you'll be fine! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238

I'm rooted ut here is my take on it.
The only 2 reasons I rooted was because I wanted control over my CPU settings/create screen off profiles and to change the android green off my notification bar.
Other than that, the phone was sweet **** sweet before rooting. you can already uninstall/freeze apps without being rooted and the battery life was VERY good before as well. I have flashed 4 Roms and non of them perfromed as well as the stock kernel IMO. I flashed back to BEAN R2 because it has the stock kernel and gave me the best battery life. no theme, running my setcpu, nova, all notifcations and toggles turned off that dont need to be on and I get about 17 hours with 30%+ when I plug back in when I go to bed.
There are a lot of things you can do when you root, but this phone is very good without. I have had other phones in the past that just weren't up to par unless they were rooted and I dont find that to be the case here.
