Got a new note for warranty exchange yesterday. I want to revert the old one I am sending back to bone stock including the clockwork mod recovery and the counter. The usb port stopped working. It is stock rooted ics. How do I flash a stop recovery/ Is there a way to do this? If it is posted already I haven't found it yet.
Thanks,
Why worry? You have the new replacement. I'd just put it in the envelope and say si-ya-narah.
Att can charge you the cost of the replacement if they decide you broke agreement ...
They can just bill you after the fact...

Hmm... lets see ... they can deny warranty and charge me $599.
This was a lot of help.
Thanks,
Without the working USB port I don't think it ALL can be done. If you did a NAND backup of your stock ROM like you should have then restore it first. Put all that ATT bloat back on there. If not stick with what you have and do a factory reset. Then install the counter reset using CWM. And the best you can do is keep your fingers crossed that they do not catch the custom recovery.
And don't forget to change your radio/baseband/modem back to the one that matches the ROM if you have changed it.
You can use a terminal emulator to push the stock recovery back in and delete su and busybox, Then reboot and it will be unrooted.

This is a forum of users ranging from complete noob to Jedi master, but its not on demand customer service.
The process usually works fine if you give it enough time.
You got a good suggestion from studacris, and if there's any further questions just come back.
First I don't mean to attack or be harsh to you...
Sir, you opened the thread looking for assistance, correct? Although you may not agree with some of the ideas/thoughts, you can try your method and see if it works. But the least you can do is thx these individuals, that are providing for your post...instead the sarcastic remark. Maybe you didn't meant it that way? But with a join date of 2010, you know where the thanks button is located.
If you are worried about warranty denial and the fees, them maybe you keep it stock your next phone?
Hope you solve your issue btw the method given by studacris would seem the best, but your call sir.

I know what I got. This is the second time you have posted useless info. I am thankful for people that try to help not by posters that post absolutly useless suggestions. My mother, bless her heart, used to say if you don't have anything useful to offer don't offer anything. Which applies to you.

Ouch!
But my honest thought was "this guy has a hardware issue that has absolutely nothing to do with rom customization. Its already stock. So at&t won't care about root. Just put it in the bag and send it."
Anyway, good luck and I hope your new phone works out better.
Yes you are right. As you can see by my posts I was only addressing rangercaptain by the 'helpful' comment and no one else. I appreciate any and all useful suggestions.
I am not worried about fees or anything else. I just don't want to pay them If I don't have to. I simply asked for help and rangercaptain makes a useless suggestion so I made a comment about that. Not about anything else.

I saw someone doing this remotely on ebay bro. Don't remember the charge. PM me if you get it done and tell me what works and what doesnt. I have a way to get 25% off your bill every month if that helps. This works if anyone else wants to use this i have for 4 years and everyone I gave this too has recieved the discount. follow it to the T . They don't want proof or anything. You will have the discount within 3 or for days. Don't forget to hit the thanks button e-1 . heres the link. If you want this post removed PM me and i'll remove it.
http://www.hustlermoneyblog.com/25-sprint-discount-on-sprint-and-nextel-service/ do it exactly.
will make your bill cheaper than boost mobile
As tempted as I am to be blunt (it seems it's expected of me now), I feel for you. I know it's rough, and I can certainly relate, but I don't think you're going to find what you're looking for by posting this here. Just saying.
Good luck.
Idk about Boost, however, if you have Cricket in your area, I just flash my 3vo by using their tutorial on cricketusers.com
I know it's not Boost, but it's another inexpensive-ish mobile carrier based off of Sprint's network.

Wrong. Although this forum is full of smug jerks who are completely useless. I do try to help out when I come to pick up a new rom but avoid it like the plague when I don't need a ROM for this reason.
To OP this is totally doable by your self and you need patience and as im sure you will find out the method is a bit under the table. For this reason I paid someone else to do it im not a lawyer so follow all instructions on your own. If you can't find someone to pay you can do it yourself ebay guides are scam all the info is free if you look or keep reading my post. All the instructions you need are here at xda. First I would suggest rooting, temp root since MSL reader app requires root there are other methods to get your MSL aka SPC but they are a pain this is simple and works. After you root download MSL reader and get your MSL you will need for later. Now you will need your phone in DIAG mode with diag drivers. Follow the instructions here only to step 7 is needed. If it reads fine you are good to go if it does not read the phone you need to fix the diag drivers instructions here. Now you are ready to start instructions here at xda but in the epic4g subforum in this thread all the instructions are the same but you can skip 11. The only purpose of 11 is to get the MSL/SPC which you already have. You are done at step 17 but if you need mms to work check the EVO4G forums pretty similar to the epic but there is an extra menu or 2 but 3D and 4G should be the same.

Have you looked at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188510
My guess is that the work-around will be based on it.
Long Story Short : My impatience got to me, and I foolishly flashed the root for the non-US GS3 onto my phone. Now I'm soft bricked.
I was curious if the stock bootloader and recovery are available for download anywhere so I can flash back to basic function. I enjoyed the phone for the 4 hours I had it, and I'll be happy just getting back to normal for the time being.
Thanks in advance.
Not alone
Like an over excited kid on Christmas I did the same thing not thinking and it's not like this is my first time rooting a phone. Glad to know someone else did this too now I just hope we get a response!
just got back from the sprint store with the same issue. They dont even have the stock files yet!! But they did order me a replacement device that should be here in 3 days. Ahhh more waiting, even though this one is totally my fault
I was able to get to recovery with the CWM recovery posted in the Dev forum, but no further. Hoping to see a rip via the Kernel dump soon.
From the look of it, if there's a stock firmware flash, I can flash it on via CWM, when that becomes available.
Disappointing to hear the Sprint support doesn't have the flashes yet. Looks like I'm out in the cold. :|

If you want to go deeper than Airplane Mode, you will have to create a customized firmware for it. Here is a link to a thread in the Captivate (SGH-i897) forum about turning the captivate into something like an Ipod Touch. It may give you and idea of what would be involved.

No, but if you have the time, following that thread would be a good way to get into light development. Essentially, all you have to do is take someone's existing firmware distribution, and do some relatively easy modifications. You would have to learn the tools and how to use them. If you can contact the author of that thread, he said he is willing to show someone what modifications to make. It may still apply on our phone.
Problem is that if someone doesn't have an interest, they are not going to do something for someone else. Maybe if you offered a bounty, someone might take it up.

I'll give whatever support I can. I don't know the tools real well, but I've played with some of them a little, and I do know some windows programming and some other stuff.
Edit: Did a little looking around. You probably will not hear back from the original poster as he appears to be inactive on xda for most of the last year. Here is his original thread which has basic instructions for removing the phone components on the Captivate. This might work on this phone. I think the second thread was to make the interface more pretty.

I never did listen from him as u said. Hmmn but i did visit this thread and did as he did which was quite very simple to be honest. I deleted the phone and telephony apk and csc file. And all other files which were related to phone activities in one or other way.
And well with that the cell stand by went away...
Now i get yellow phone signals
Anyways their is mo cell standby in battery drain
But all is not well i get kernel wakelocks which are keeping my phone awake and draining battery like hell when in standby or screen off...

guesses why this question?
Perhaps to demonstrate to a carrier representative that the phone is borked in an attempt to obtain a replacement, but maintaining the ability to recover the device in case the plan backfires? Not to be disrespectful to the OP, just the cynic in me I guess.

My guess is that he is going to try for a free upgrade with the boot loop. Then, if it fails, then he can restore his phone.
If I am wrong, I am sorry. But, there is no other possible reason I can think of.

Boot looping or soft brick will only get you in trouble. At&t will still able to get into recovery and see your flash counter raised. Then say bye bye to warranty!
Hahahahahahahahahaha anyone actually knowing what recovery is let alone a flash counter at a local store.... oh man. That made my day.
Btw flash counter is shown in download mode not recovery.

The long awaited Story!
Well First off thanks everyone for not helping me out at all lol! Seems the story is the only reason why you guys even bothered to reply to the question lol. Luckily for me I decided to just download a jellybean Rom and dirty flash and it sure did put me in a boot loop...not entirely what i was looking for because instead of being at the Samsung screen it was a Slimbean screen kept flashing. All that aside, at the end of the day it wasnt even necessary.
But the good part for you all!!! THE STORY!!
I have a Galaxy Note right...Well my sister in law's boyfriend said he had "found" one. She let me know that whenever she tried turning it on it would but 2-4 seconds afterwards it would just shut off. I told her to bring me the phone to check it out, when she brough it to me I tried turning it on and no luck. i tried my battery in their phone and no luck... So then i tried putting it into Recovery...it wouldnt it would just vibrate over and over with black screen. I even tried putting it into download mode to use odin...still no luck. I let her know there really was nothing i could do, what i could do was sell it for parts on ebay. or maybe sell it as is if price was good. she said ok. She was trying to sell it to me and have me fix it and keep it but as i saw i couldnt i refused offer and offered here to do so on ebay.
weeks passed and I never put it up for aution.... she let me know to give the phone back as her dude had a friend who wanted to buy it and he was giving him $100. I ignored it and a week passed by.
I was bored at home and said shoot might as well do some research and see whats really wrong with it or check if someone else has had this experience...and sure enough there was a thread on here. It seems that stupid power button on the phone was stuck. Another member asked the question in this thread and my man Bubbajoe40356 along with some other guys gave us the answered we wanted. After messing with the phone finally got it into download mode and also recovery with pulling out the battery each time after automatic shut off. Opened up the phone, cleaned out the power button and voila!!!
As the phone turned on I saw it was some ones phone i knew (not friend but i knew her) it was actually my sister in laws friend... So i told her i dont think your dude found this phone he JACKED it from your friend...her response was "LMFAO he probably did"... So i figured i dont know the girl and this dude f***ed her over so im going to do the same to him.
I told him I had already sold it on ebay and only got $60 for it and i needed to ship it.
(now the part that this whole thread was created for)
If he was to ask for the phone back and say no F that than he would get a Bootlooping phone and make it seem like phone was still messed up. If he didnt and went along with my plan then he would say ok give me the money and i could revert easily...
Long story short, he took the money and im left with a perfectly fine working note. Im guessing it was already stolen prior as it was running on tmobile since it was already rooted and blaze 4g modem was flashed on it. But I will call Att and make sure and see whats the deal. My plan is to sell it and make money off his stealing ass!

Yeah, that comment about a store rep booting into recovery and checking the flash counter was a good one. It was so funny I laughed so hard I sharted.
BubbaJoe, I'm staying positive too and saying I'm positive he wants to get another phone.

hahahaha she actually hates when i mess with phones... I learned what little i know on mine and hers lol hers was a headache back then. rainbow screens and everything lol she wasnt too impressed and is less now.
First ... Glad we could help diagnose and help fix it ... Even if it was inadvertently..your sister in law and her boy friend sound like peopl I would distance myself from .. As she probably knew all along.
It was a good story well worth the wait. But I personally hate the ending. My rewrite would be to have contacted the rightful owner and return the phone. Also giving her the name of the person you got it from.
My house was broken into years ago and a few things stolen. One thing was a 45 automatic. After 5 years the police in the next town called me in and to my surprise ... returned it to me. I would have been happy to reward the person returning it ...but it was recovered in a drug bust. So they got their reward.
Not sure what will happen when you call att...but personally ... I would never keep it.
MIUI has always been my favorite rom and I was wondering if anybody has ported it to work on the Verizon model or if they plan on doing so?

I'd love to see it as well, but haven't heard anything just yet. Most of our AOSP roms have a few bugs yet, but many are quite stable. Since MIUI is AOSP-based now, we could see it sometime if there's a willing dev out there.
If you want something like it right now, try the Avatar rom in the development forum. It's basically a CM10.1 rom with the MIUI theming engine.

I'll look into it, maybe it'll hold me over until MIUI comes our way.

I have been working on this myself, or was I should say, until I fried my S4 and had to buy a new one.
I've got it booted, it definitely runs, just need to get DATA working.
If anyone wants to throw their hat in the ring, by all means, lets do it. I miss MIUI.
EDIT- Alright, well, I'm working on building a fully functioning MIUI now. I need testers, however. Just be aware, you test at your own risk and I am not responsible in any way for anything that happens to your phone. PM me if you'd like.

I think you can find multiple definitions of "fried" in the no-fault disclaimer in any MIUI thread.

It's not as easy as "soft or hard brick."
The radio fried, whether or not this was a software or a hardware issue was never determined, as the radio never worked again after ODIN/NANDROID backups were restored. That said, it was likely hardware.

Oh, lol.
Well the ROM definitely runs, I will upload it shortly after I finish rebuilding it. I need to test the data.

Actually I've decided I'm not going to do this. After too many problems with getting booted and what not, and once it's running, things not functioning correctly, I can't afford to break my device.
There are directions for porting in the internationa galaxy s4 thread, which will at least get it booted. The rest is up to you.

Need to get rid of the ugly roaming indicator off crap. And the signal bars aren't reporting correctly. But I've got reliable data, phone, and text.

Well, yes. MIUI was one of them. I was asked by Jonestown if I could give it a go. It wasn't too bad but it was tricky compared to other aosp ports.
As you will notice in my updater script when I post it... I don't like miui. Not even a little bit. I worked on miui v4 and hated that. And now in v5 and I still hate it.
But hating it doesn't mean I can't make it mostly work. I just probably won't put the same amount of time into it's support I do the interesting stuff.
