I have a unlocked galaxy note i717 gingerbread 207. Orginally it was locked to telus but now im using it on the rogers network. So how would I get ICS? Do I have to wait for the telus release or rogers? I also heard it better to use a custom ics rom. So when I unroot my phone what is the best ics rom out there at the moment?
Why are you unrooting? As to which rom is best is in the eye of the beholder

I thought you need to unroot to use custom roms?

U got it backwards. I think u just got ur words mixed up. Rooting gives you super user contral and flashing cwm allows u to flash custom roms. Read the general stickies for more information.

This helped me a TON.
I've already rooted my phone. But now I'm stuck in the next step : Install "Clockworkmod recovery" because it doesn't works with Gingerbread.207 version. I didn't find an answer to this problem and it seems that installing "Clockworkmod recovery" is an important step before installing a new ROM. I just want to inform you about it.
It's never easy for canadian version of mobile phones to use the same rooting and flashing tools than worldwide phones. We really have less choice for custom ROM and the few really good ROM are made for US users. Well, if I find something, I'll let you know.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Read the first page of the thread for the kernel you want to try. That will tell you which roms it's compatible with.
No suggestions. Reasons being you use your phone differently to everyone else, have it set up differently & no two phones come out of the factory the same. So you won't have exactly the same experience as me with a given rom or kernel. Also, many people who are users of a particular rom or kernel end up being total fanboys, rendering their opinion on same biased/meaningless.
So...Try out a bunch of roms/kernels until you find one you like. With CWM, it's so easy to backup/restore & flash roms/kernels there's no excuse for you not trying a bunch out for yourself.
Thanks man

I just used Kies to update my Samsung Galaxy S2 I777 from 2.3.6 to 4.0..3 ICS that just came out. I was previous rooted and now the root seems to be gone. How do i fix this and root my phone again while its 4.03?
Does the super 1 click root work on the official 4.0.3 version?
I would appreciate any help/directions on how to reroot my phone after i updated to the official ICS from AT&T. Thank you!
You can not root the official update

So I'm stuck with this forever or will there be a fix for this in the near future?
Btw was it normal for my root to be removed by updating my phone using kies? Because when i updated previously from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 OTA using my phone's software update option, it didn't remove the root. I was surprised to see that ICS did
Also, what do you guys think about using this method to root my official version of ICS 4.03 on my S2: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-ics-on-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/
I know most people on here don't like galaxys2root.com but I'm running the unrooted version of ICS from galaxys2root.com and am having no problems.

Yea but i want to root so that i can freeze apps using titanium back, as well use root capabilities such wifi tethering and root explorer. So i need to root soon. What is the best/safest way to do this on the official ICS 4.03 version?
Well I don't know why his rooted version would be good as well...have you read the comments on his tutorial in the link you posted? Probably will give you a good idea of how it's going for other people.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA
It seems to be working for some people but I honestly don't want to have to root using a I9100 version/kernel to have a root. I was hoping that there was an similar root to the super 1 click root method where you can keep your phone on the i777 version.
Also some of the comments say that they are having issues with certain buttons, and on the youtube video one comment says something about getting bricked. So idk
Restore to stock kh7 with root, then flash the official rom in the dev section is the only way I know of at the moment

My humbly tendered suggestion would be that you start reading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659
Oh, man...why won't someone spend the time to find this poor guy the info he needs and post the links? It's not his fault he did an update without first knowing what effects it would have on his phone. What a heartless bunch you guys are. It's not like he's been here for over 3 years and knows how this forum works.
Yes you can root the update but trying to flash an update script thru 3e recovery didn't work for me and will format your sd card when you exit 3e but I was rooted within 10 minutes after upgrading to att official ICS. Just to be sure I downloaded/installed Superuser and busybox, then I flashed the CWM recovery kernel ( if you don't know ahead of time how this process works please research before attempting it) which won't boot the phone but allows you to use the button combo to get into recovery and then flashed the latest Siyah kernel .zip (or whichever ICS kernel you prefer), which had been strategically placed on my sd card prior to the Kies flash. And voila...root and recovery.

Why not just flash the pre-rooted version?
...and then there's that ! ^ As a matter of convenience that works too...but personally I like to take what I've learned thru these forums and apply it in real life to retain the process.

Another way to do it, if you have the Odin flashable files, would be to use Mobile Odin with the everroot option checked.

I can say from experience that the tool you posted works on ics (rooted). Pretty sure it should work for jb too.
Follow the instructions here once again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289395
(You don't need to root again)
How are you checking if it worked? The code mentioned in that thread only works for Samsung based rom's. If unlocking is absolutely necessary, and you're somehow sure you're not unlocked, make a nandroid, flash to a Samsung based rom, check if unlocked using that code mentioned in the thread I listed, if not --> unlock phone using steps in that thread, check for unlock using code

You can search the threads for guides. I don't use HTC so I'm not familiar with it. Starting you can find a ROM that is suitable for your firmware. Gt i9100G. Be sure not to get GT-i9100 ROM because its two worlds apart. Once you done that, go to cwm and fully wipe everything. Then install from SD card. If the roms has aroma installer you are good to go. To get detailed guides please search the forums.

Give a try to the temporary unroot option in the superuser app...

If you already have CWM recovery why not use CWM to flash a custom 4.1.2 rom thats based on Stock firmware (like Android Revolution HD)?
Thats just as easy, has more support, rooted and you'll have future updates faster as well.
I already downloaded omega v34 but didn't flash it because people have lot of issues with it.. Lag, random reboot etc. Stock rom will be more stable I guess..
I haven't tried revolution though...
I'll try it now..
Any other rom you recommend?
Thanks!

I had the same experience, Omega had loads of launcher redraws and sudden lag. No such experience on ARHD with Perseus kernel. That kernel now even has the exynos exploit fixed.
Nope, all other roms i've tried i never used more then a few hours.
Can you give me a link to the ARHD page?

Yeah, everytime you flash the stock image, you'll have to root the phone again... but so what?? I have my mobile sine 8 weeks and i think i flashed it 10times now, and lots of custom-rom installations, configuring the phone etc....
It's not a hard work, you just have to read carefully BEFORE you start rooting, modding or whatever. This forum is awesome and till now i really found an answer to my questions everytime without bothering the ither guys with a question that is already answered a thousand times just have to use the search... so, good luck and have fun with your rooted mobile. By the way, i recommend the Omega-ROM for galaxy S2 and S3, the guys are.doing a great job with their ROMs. If you own a S3 LTE (i9305) i recommend the Pandoriam ROM, works best for me
