i have a bone stock ATT note with CLF6?
Im wanting to try a different ROM?
I realize that i need to do a back-up first.
Do i need to root before i do this back-up.?
thanks alot. .
ps... I cannot get this into recovery mode.
I hold down the power and volume up buttons, but all it does is vibrate off and on.
thanks again.
Can you get into download mode?

First thing is to install cwm touch reconvey by using Odin. Put phone into download mode to do this. Then boot into cwm recovery by holding volume up and down and power all at the same time. Once it vibrates, let go of the power button while still holding the volume keys. Then create a backup to sd card ( external of you have one). Then go ahead and root by either flashing super user or any rooted ROM.
Oh yeah, to put phone into dowlas mode, hold volume down and power then hit volume up key when prompted.

..and now.. thanks to this last post... I can get into stock recovery.... just no back up option there ...
so OK... I will go for the CWM touch recovery...via Odin..
can you please provide a link to this touchable CWM recovery installable via Odin....
thanks guys!!!!

All the info is in the general thread. Under" stickies" section. Its best you go there and read up.important info regarding Odin and the proper files are there. Look for the "All In One" thread.

You can root it, then run a titanium backup in order to backup all of the important data.
Also, under settings, there should be a backup option, which you could restore from the stock ROM.
After rooting, and then getting CWM or TWRP installed, you can do a NANDROID backup....which will allow you to back up essentially every bit on your device.
Note that I've never seen a ROM that required CWM, but there are ROMs that require, or reccomend TWRP. That might be the recovery of choice.

thank you for the replies..
now I guess that my next step is Rooting stock CLF6.

Have to find the link for that now.
Another question is, when , after rooting,
will that end any OTA updates?
meaning JB when it come out in the USA for AT&T.
thanks again
Yes that will end ota updates once you flash a custom ROM. But you can always return to stock later if needed and be angle to do any update that comes out.

To clarify, just rooting alone will not stop ota updates. It is flashing a custom ROM that does.

If you want to backup your phone you need to be rooted and/or custom recovery first anyways. To get into recovery you hold BOTH volume up and down with the power button. Release power button after text appears. Here you can do a complete NAND backup of your phone. This will backup your entire ROM except for your modem. If you install Titanium Backup or like app you can then backup individual apps or settings.

thanks for all the info..

nice to run into you again..
you helped my long time ago to get my HTC HD-2 from T-Mobile up and running on ATT. Walked me thu it over the phone. Thanks again for all that.
Now whenever STILL... I go to car shows and look at GTO's.... I remember agoatamer!!!!
Thanks for remembering Jim. Goodluck with your Note. Phones have come a long way since the HD2.
By the way, agoatamer... I I see your sig says " Samsung I717R Note
UXLF4 Rogers Deodexed Stock ICS ROM"
You like that ROM.... I What's so special about that one? I do you recommend it?
Thanks..
Well, other than my phone is a Roger's Note..... I prefer the stock build. Tethering is enabled by default. I can switch between 3G, 4G, and LTE. Much easier to unbrand compared to the ATT version. Stock apps are inverted by default. nothing really fancy. Just nice and stable. I put it together myself but couldn't get the help into getting it together in an all in one installable zip. Sam.jh has a like version from Telus here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801689
Hopefully when JB is released he will deodex and zip that one up too.

I went to plug in my phone to my USB cable connected to my desktop, and and I noticed that my Note wasn't being recognized by my desktop, and but was still charging. Long story short, I deducted that it was an issue with the phone's hardware (tried different computers, cables, and ROMs). I have the $10/month warrantee from ATT, but just assumed that I could trust take it in because it was rooted and on a custom ROM. Is there a way for me to flash back to stock and unroot the phone without Odin or any other desktop utility, so that I can take it in?

I ran through the forums and didn't see a cwm flashable stock rom. So you may be out of luck on that one.
If you do find a stock rom you can flash though, you could potentially use this over wifi adb.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23499670&postcount=133
That'll remove CWM. Best bet might be to say you lost it and pay the $199 deductible. I had to do that once - I'm using the old phone as my mp3 player.
Are we sure this isn't a driver issue? I know its supposed to auto detect but it might he worth trying to install the drivers yourself manually and try again.

Well that leaves me in a pretty bad spot I guess. I suppose my only options are to take it in to the ATT store and hope the guy can exchange it right then and not notice or care, and try to find someone who will sell me a single USB replacement part (looked everywhere though and only saw bulk dealers), and or just continue using it and never switch ROMs I guess

I didn't see a stock rom for him to do that with.
You can use the mobile Odin when you find a stock rom.
You can get a stock backup from someone who has stock rom and CWM and will reset to factory and make a backup and send it to you.
The at&t person won't check to see if you have CWM.

If the OP wants to do that, I'll be willing to get a backup for him. I'm still on the stock Gingerbread system with root/CWM. I'm about to install another rom over the next couple days, so just before hand I can get a backup.

That would be amazing. With that backup, I could just flash it, but and essentially be back to stock? Also, I how does Odin Mobile work? Will that unroot and flash me back to stock or is it just a way to flash like CWM without having to go into recovery?

I'm going to be spending the afternoon/early evening with the wife, so when I get home I'll get a backup for you.
And yes, you'd be back to stock. Make a backup of everything you have first though.

I used it, but I don't remember which phone.
So you will have a nandroid stock backup file soon. To flash that, you need CWM recovery. Do you have that?
I'm creating the backup right now..
I might find a server that can be used for downloading.. that way we at least have a completely stock cwm backup.
Good idea. Maybe Electron or another developer could host it for everyone's availability.
gagejbond, do you have PM's enabled? I'm going to send you a PM in a few with the link for the download. I'm testing the restore on my phone right now..

I'm new to the world of Android and rooting...I have an HTC Thunderbolt with all of the updates and completed the root process using a one-click program found on a different XDA thread. This program allows rooting without any file loss or software downgrades (hope I'm correct??)
With that said...First: how do I verify that my Thunderbolt is rooted? Does the 'SuperUser' app verify the process was successful or do I have to check somewhere else?
From here, what apps would I use to increase phone performance (slow screen refresh, etc.?) and what other enhancements can I change (tired of waiting for ICS)??
Thanks for any help and guidance that can be provided,
ghdroiduser
There's an app called root checker in the market that you could use. As far as enhancements go there aren't very many apps you can get to better performance. You could get a root uninstaller to remove useless apps that you otherwise couldn't get rid of. Best way to get a better phone going is to flash a custom Rom. There are a few roms that have been developed that are ICS but don't have a working camcorder. Although, flashing these roms will cause you to lose your user data...

Any help or guidance is appreciated...

Hmm... never heard of that app. You don't have to uninstall apps for superuser to take affect although superuser doesn't do anything to typical apps that you would have had before you rooted. I'm really not sure of what you can do on a stock Rom. If I remember, the only time I had a rooted phone with a stock Rom I didn't do anything to it. The best option to better your performance is to install a custom Rom. Make a backup of your stock Rom in recovery in case you need to get back to it. Also, don't take any OTA updates while you are rooted because that will brick your phone and its quite the process to unbrick.

My inquiry from the other day was incorrect...v6 supercharger is a script for improving a rooted phone's memory performance, not an app...that would explain why some people were unfamiliar with the question. When I complete the rooting process, will my my have 'S-root' and what is 'S-root'?
Is this script better than 'smurf' once my device has been rooted?
Additionally, I would like to maximize the Thunderbolt's performance...what would be the next step??
I would like ICS on my phone, however, it seems that Verizon will never get this done...I see there are several roms available for ICS...are there are any roms that do not loose any of the phone's current functionality?? Can I install more than one rom like multiple booting a computer with more than one operating system??
I used a 'one-click' root program from a different xda forum.

V6 supercharger does help with performance. The liquid ics roms are great and the only functionality you will lose is camcorder. Once you have it installed you can over clock the CPU if you want more performance although it really isn't necessary.

Are all of the Liquid ICS roms the same or is one source better than another?? What will happen to my phone once Verizon finally release the ICS update or any other update for that matter??
Is 'S-root' something that I have to install or configure? Or does it install/configure during the rooting process?
Again thanks for the help,

You must be talking about s off. S off is something that should be done during the rooting process to allow for the installation of aftermarket kernels and for changing radios. In the dev section there is a tool called the allinone thunderbolt tool that will do all of that. You really should get it and run that. There are two versions of liquid ics. One is the stock version and the other is jmod which is the one that sounds more up to speed for you. It comes with the supercharger script already in place so you don't have to do that yourself. Once you flash it you won't have to worry about the official release affecting you at all.

Alright you're good to go. You do have s off which I wasn't sure of. What you need to do is download the rom OK. To get ready for flashing reboot into recovery by going into the boot loader the way I told you. Once there, press volume down so that it will let you choose something in that menu. Select bootloader. After that it will run a check to see if you have a radio update on your SD card. Once it finishes press volume down to highlight recovery. Press power. Once in recovery you need to wipe data cache and dalvik cache before flashing the rom. This is important. If you don't then it will either not boot or it will bootloop. I don't remember all of the menus in cwm because I haven't used it in so long. Go to the menu that let's you select the file for flashing. If you downloaded it from the phone then it will be in the download folder. Find the file and select it. It should prompt you if you want to flash it. Select yes and there you go. You're off into your first ics rom.

Just to add dont get scared if it takes awhile to boot up once its done flashing and you reboot. Some roms can take a few min to fully boot. So when its on the splashscreen just let it be and let it load all the file you just flashed. Welcome to the world of rooting.

I would suggest using 4ext. Its easier to navigate since the recovery is touch enabled and the menus are organized better. Flashing the rom should be done from the phone although it is possible to do it from the PC I wouldn't recommend you trying that just yet. The main thing to remember when flashing a rom is always do a nandroid backup first. I did forget to tell you that. Also just remember to wipe data,cache and dalvik cache before you flash a rom unless the developer makes it clear that it is OK to flash over the current build.

Not really as long as you wipe your caches and data you should be good to go. You can download the rom on to your phone or you can download on to your PC. Once on your PC you will have to transfer the file to your phone via the usb cable.
4ext is a nice touch screen recovery. So you dont have to wear out your vol rockers and power button. Its easy to install just need to download the app.

I realize I'll probably get flamed by a few people here, but the rest of the forum will agree with me.
You really shouldn't be flashing/rooting unless you realize how to undo everything you've done. Do the research to figure out what you're doing before you actually do it...and then you'd have the answer to this question before it was even asked.

i wanted to try the new cm 11 but needed to install cwm and i had twrp. all i read ssaid i could just flash it over top twrp, i did so and have been stuck at samsung loop. im not sure what to do, tried using odin to restore and now im lost. i dont know if i lost root or what but i have no custom recovery after trying to use odin to flash atwrp. i managed to get cwm to install originally but couldnt flash any roms or boot. i was running jelly beans latest build. any help would be great, ive rooted all my pphones but this note 2 gives me nothing but trouble.
You flashed the ROM on twrp or you flashed CWM on twrp? Can you get into download mode? Also,this sounds dumb,but are you holding volume up, home, and power to try and boot into recovery? And download mode is volume down , home, and power.

i flashed cwm using twrp. ya i know about the buttons. i can only get into download mode. i had something like this happen before but ill be damned if i know how to fix it. the info for the note 2 is a mess. every site references the same pages and those pages are confusing to me. i have dyslexia and it gets hard for me to grasp at times.
OK. I went through this on my s3 (same process on the note 2). It sounds like you will need to "Odin" back to stock since something got messed up. And it may have been something not of your doing. I will try and find you the thread on how to do this. What I do is read the thread a few times then write down what the steps are so I can look at that instead of swapping pages on the computer. I will try and post the link in a minute.

This should help you out. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask. Just a note (no pun intended) this will make you start over completely. It will be like your pulling your phone out of the box for the first time. So I would hope that any backups you had are on the external SD card and I highly suggest you backup the SD card before starting anything. Here's the link.

Hello all,
I will confess that I am an absolute noob. I have had my Sprint Galaxy Note 3 since November last year. I finally decided to go ahead and root my phone so that I could use the tether feature. I also like the idea of having control of my own device. I have been reading and reading, and reading on the forum and referencing information from a copy of the Android Hacker's Toolkit by Mr. Jason Tyler and Will Verduzco.. and I'm confused. The information is great however the vast majority of it is over my head.
I have used Chainfire's method for rooting my phone and have installed TWRP for the recovery, and have made a back-up. I have tried installing and using WiFi Tether by TopAppLoft and several other applications from Google Play. I am unable to get the wireless router to work.
What could I try in order to be able to use the WiFi router without having to pay the extra $ to Sprint?
Thank you in advance for any information anyone can provide

Just realized the download link is broken. You can ask the developer if he could send it to you via pm or micmars may be able to help you get it. You could also try one of the many roms in the development section. I Believe most if not all have it incorporated.

Thank you sir! I took a peek and the Odexed Blue ROM looks like a pretty cool ROM. Once I flash the ROM if I want to go back to what I originally had I can just use the Reboot Recovery command through Goomanager? I created a nandroid back-up file through Goomanager of the current configuration on my phone.
It will be a few days before I can get back home and flash a ROM but thanks again and I will let you know how it goes. :good:

I honestly only used goomanager a few times and never made a backup with it. I use twrp for backups and flashing as I believe most others in this forum do as well. I would consider making a backup through recovery unless someone can tell you otherwise. All the roms should have the 4 in 1 power menu and you can access recovery through there. The two easiest ways to go back if you were unhappy with a rom would be to restore a backup through recovery or Odin back to stock. However I think you will be very happy with strongsteve and his odex blue rom. I have used his rom since he released it and it really is flawless and very appealing to the eye. Good luck. Let us know if you need help.

Sir,
I selected Bonsai_BETA_v0.0.5 - 01.14.2014 as my new ROM to flash as it lists the native hotspot mod as one of the things it has included. I was unable to figure out how to install OdexBlue through Odin version 1.85 (this was Chainfire's autoroot application) and I was unable to locate OdexBlue through Goomanager. I made sure to do a nandroid back up and did a complete wipe as I installed Bonsai through Goomanager. I successfully flashed it however I do not know how to get the Native Hotspot feature to work without it telling me to "Call Sprint Customer Service" to activate it. Not sure what I should try at this point. Perhaps try another ROM or seek out the Native Hotspot mod from Mr. Micmars?
If you want odex blue download it from the rom thread to your PC then put it on your sd card. For some reason my phone will not download the odex blue roms. No need to use goomanager to download roms, you will find the download link in the original post where you find the rom description. Once it is on your sd card reboot to recovery, make a backup in recovery, wipe system, data, cache, and dalvic cache. Now from the main menu of recovery go to install, find the rom and install it. Reboot and it should work fine. These are the basic instructions for most roms but always read the developers instructions as some are slightly different. I'm guessing you may not have wiped system, data, and cache which may not allow you to use the hotspot mod. Report back with your results.

IT WORKS LIKE A CHAMP!!! I downloaded odexblue and moved it over into the goo manager download directory. I then did a wipe and I installed it through goomanager. I'm connected now through my hot spot as I type to you. Thanks again for your guidance and patience with this noob!!
Glad it worked.
