I upgraded my niece's Note to JB using Odin and the official AT&T JB update. It all went fine but, it is now laggy as heck! It is an easy process of just getting the official AT&T ICS rom and run it with Odin?

Did you do a factory reset/wipe after installation? This solved the lag or me as I had the same issue.

To answer the question about downgrading back to ICS, yes, you can downgrade using odin just like you upgraded.
Cool, if the factory reset doesn't work, I'll just downgrade it back to ICS.

I experienced the same thing your niece is. A real laggy device after upgrading. A factory reset did clear up the majority of my issues. I went a step further and rooted the device. Once I had root access I could freeze/remove all of at&t's junk. That REALLY improved performance! I took a 3rd step and installed ptmr's 4.1.2 kernel allowing me to overclock the cpu and I couldn't be happier! It's snappy, smooth, and good battery life. You seem pretty smart and can figure out what I'm talking about. If not let us know.

So, did you root the phone when you updated to stock JB or did you first flash it back to ICS, root it and now running a stock rooted JB rom? Also the Rooting instructions for keeping the counter has a pda.tar with a boot.img inside of it. Will that work if I just root the phone on stock JB? The reason I ask is I have an AT&T HTC One X and there isn't root for the new JB update yet. My phone is rooted though because I didn't take the OTA. Thanks guys for all your help.
I updated using kies. Then rooted. No need to revert. Just do this:
1. Use Odin 1.85 in Admin Mode for Windows users.
2. Install TWRP 2.5 via PDA settings.
3. Reboot phone into Recovery.
4. Install SuperSU via the Zip.
5. Reboot phone and viola. SuperSU is there and works.
Download twrp Odin Method here:
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/96
Flash via Odin.
Then download SuperSU.Located here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/204
Reboot to recovery, flash the zip and all done.
The kernel for the new JB 4.1.2 by ptmr is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239725
Sorry for the newb questions but, since the phone already has JB, would I need to replace the existing boot.img that is in the pda.tar file with the JB 4.1.2 by ptmr boot.img then flash with Odin 1.85? Then I will do 2, 3, 4 and 5. Just want to make sure I don't eff something up. LOL

You're on the stock JB release and do not have root right? Go directly to step 2. Use Odin to flash twrp recovery. Then superuser. Etc... your giving the stock release a recovery and superuser. Once that's done You can then freeze/remove apps and flash the kernel. OR flash any rom that's already debloated. Once you give your phone the new recovery and root access you don't need Odin anymore.

You don't even have to flash the Superuser zip. After flashing TWRP, boot into recovery and hit "Reboot System." TWRP will see that you are not rooted and offer to install Superuser for you.
Alright, good to know. Thanks again!

It sounds like you unzipped the downloaded rom. That type of zip is downloaded to the phone, then you reboot into recovery, then you install the rom zip using the recovery app. Nothing to unzip.
No, I didn't unzip the Rom. I was asking about the boot.img file whether it needed to be extracted from the pda.tar and replaced with the JB one to flash with Odin since the phone is on JB. If that makes sense.

My phone wont boot now.
It stays stuck at the 2nd Samsung during the boot up.
What happen was I updated today to offical ICS from my rooted gingerbread.
I updated via kias today to get official ICS, got it working and I noticed I didn't have cwm install anymore, so I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
It is pass it did it reboot thing, and never got past the 2nd "samsung" loading screen.
Anyone know how to get my phone booting again?
Flash the latest ICS kernel
I am not sure how to do that without cwm.
Before I updated to ICS when I press power + up down, it booted into CWM. Now when I do that I boots into Android System Recovery <3e>
EDIT: Good news.
Got CWM through installed though odin and then I restored to my gingerbread backup I made earlier.
Flash your roms via clockwork recovery mod from now on.
Drop the ROM .zip on sd card and then enter recovery. Wipe everything three times each then flash a uclf6 based ROM. Never touch Odin or kies again. Be happy. Ice cream sandwich is way better than ginger bread

Had the same exact problem. I "believe" the problem was that the CWM I flashed was perhaps incompatible with the official ICS?
I used Odin to flash cwm 5.5.0.4 as suggested and the fone was shut down with the hanging Samsung screen as you mentioned. I used the DL screen with Odin to the 600mb Team Objection ROM, which at least got me up and running again. I found out that CWM did in fact flash once the ROM was compatible with it. Updated CWM, then to finally get full stability, I had to do a factory reset after clearing both caches, then install the CM9 official.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Update: I installed official ICS again last night, looks like I lost my root and CWM.
I don't want to mess anything up again, so could you tell me exactly what CWM file you used to flash so it doesn't hang at samsung again?
I was having the same problems but I think I was doing it wrong. How are you flashing the root files? I upgraded from Kies, then used Odin to flash cwm touch (5.5.0.4 I think), make sure to let the reboot and that it's actually turned on and you can see your homescreen. Once you do that, THEN flash the superuser 3.0.7 in cwm. Let the phone reboot properly and it should be okay.
I was doing the same without the reboots and that's what caused me to hang at the logo, but after the above it worked well. Give it a try. For anyone who needs to flash the T-Mobile radios also let the phone reboot and then flash it because I was having issues with that which was fixed by letting the phone reboot.
Make nandroids at every step in case it does hang so you can just restore and try again instead of flashing everything all over again.

I've also tried rooting my AT&T Galaxy Note I717 which had recently upgraded to ICS via AT&T/Kies and my phone is stuck at the Samsung boot screen. While I'm no expert with rooting phones, I had no problem rooting it when it had GB installed so I figured I wouldn't have any problems rooting it again. Is flashing the ICS kernel the best way to fix this? Where do I get the ICS kernel from and how do I flash it?
Details: After my phone upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 kernel 3.0.8 (IMM76D.UCLF6), I followed some instructions to root it using Odin3-v1.85 and PDA->pda.tar. Other instructions used cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 and odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_b4.tar and I tried those but to no avail. So I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed but I don't know what to do next.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update: I restored my phone back to a non-rooted working Android 4.0.4 by downloading the stock ROM for my phone (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) and uploading it using Odin3-v1.85/PDA. I didn't even lose any of my settings or data. Now I need to figure out how to successfully root it. But at least I'm not worried about getting stuck on the Samsung screen anymore.
Open odin , PDA cwm file, Droid in dl mode, plug in start unplug, reboot, go to cwm recovery mode and backup onto sd card.
Im learning more, as i soft bricked mine last time

You realize the reason you were stuck was because you flashed a GB kernel onto an ICS system? It would never boot. As the second post suggested... all you had to do was flash an ICS kernel to get it to boot.

This happened to me after misreading a comment.
If you put your phone into download mode, plug it in, run kies, and do an emergency firmware recovery. You'll need the serial number. My phone is stock ICS again. Works fine.

so cwm 5.5.0.4 touch is a GB kernel? Because that's all I flashed after the KIES update to ICS and I got the hanging Samsung logo.
I believe some people are trying to get ICS rooted with this cwm and are getting stuck. Of course there are ways out of it, but it'll help the learning process if we can find the problem.

I'm fairly confident i am able to root my device, and follow every tutorial, however i'm stuck with these qeustions...
if i install CF-root first... without cwm and later, install the package that has CF-root + cwm combined.. will this conflict with the earlier installed cf-root without cwm?..
***update****
when 4.1 hits, i can update trough kies?.. or do i have to unroot for that, and remove cwm?.. how does this exactly work... ive read other places.. it wont do ota's now..
Also, what would happen if i mistakingly did the re-partition thing?..
CF-Root (for the SGS3, anyway - can't comment on other phones) always comes with CWM as it's CWM that actually installs SuperSU etc. on the phone

As your device is already rooted, I would suggest that, there are a few ROMs available on XDA that supports the OTA. you can install them to have OTA available. as in your phone currently OTA will not support because you have just rooted the phone, there are some changes to be done in the system after rooting the phone so that it will support OTA.
Long story short,,,
Install the ROM with OTA support. done... happy flashing...
No you can't get official OTA's now, but you can still download and flash official stock jellybean firmwares and flash them to your phone. Chances are they'll be on xda before you ever get an OTA anyway.
As for repartition in Odin, that will repartition your internal storage and wipe your data and may corrupt your filesystem which -may- be irreversible. Stay away unless told otherwise, some situations call for that to be used but only in emergencies and following strict instructions.
As for the guy above that is talking about OTA's, he is getting confused between official OTA's and custom ROM OTA's.
Some custom ROMs support OTA updating, but it will be a custom ROM.

Upon rooting my phone I attempted to install custom recovery in order to install the Eclipse S4GE v1.4 ROM made by nitroglycerine33. I downloaded Goomanager and installed TWRP. Upon telling TWRP to flash the custom ROM it rebooted the phone, as usual. After reboot i was put into Odin. I tried this process 4 times with no avail, continuously booting into Odin. After trying TWRP, I tried Clockworkmod and the same happened to me. I am unable to get anything other than Odin, and I really hate TouchWiz and want to switch to this ROM. Thanks for any help.

You cant flash roms on the new update, you can only root.
With rooted ME7, we do not have the capability (yet!) to install custom roms or recoveries. See the thread on the bounty about this.

What's your build number? If it ends with ME7 the best you can do is root (for now).
Is there a way to downgrade, or a reason as to why we cannot install custom ROMs?
Me7 blocks older versions of the firmware so no downgrading. You cant install a custom recovery because me7 patched the loki exploit. Once on the me7 ota youre stuck, for now atleast.

obviously.. what i should have wrote was,
surprised nobody is able to compare and contrast the 2 bootloaders, find out whats different and examine a way to release that block. which im pretty sure what they have been trying.
basically it should be the same bootloader, one locked and one unlocked. find out how the lock is there and whats different
Is there any way to get out of the Odin mode when you attempt to reboot to recovery on ME7 using TWRP? Is it possible to flash back to the stock ROM?
You cant flash a custom recovery on the me7 ota. Turn your phone off and use the odin/download mode key combo. When it asks if u want continue decline and your phone will boot normally. Me7 images flashable via odin are in the dev section.

You're not using TWRP if you updated to ME7. You have the stock recovery and are on the stock rom. There is no going back to MDK.

Unfortunately I have figured that one out. So, is there any way to install one of the ROMs posted by Dubbsy? I was under the impression that these worked with ME7, but I must be very wrong in that assumption. Forgive my ignorance. I'm just really sick of TouchWiz and I can't wait to get a clean Android install on this device.
No you cant install any rom as of yet on me7. The me7 roms in the dev section are an me7 base with mdk files so you can retain ability to flash a custom recovery and flash other roms. As for your pm shut your phone all the way off and then hold volume down + power. Release power when it vibrates keep holding vol down and itll ask for you to confirm or deny booting to download mode. If you deny it your phone should boot normally. Everytime you boot I believe itll do this so youll eventually need to use one of the me7 odin images. There is no wipe versions in the dev section so you wont lose any apps and data associated with them.

after doing that procedure once, it let's me boot up fine. Powering off, then on, reboot, or batter pull..they all work fine now. How would I install one of the ME7 Odin images? Is there a doc on how to do that using Odin?
Ok, been away from the note 2 for a min. Anyone want to give me the low down on all this 4.3 stuff? I'm seeing roms say that MJ9 has to be flashed in Odin before a the rom can be flashed? Is this a one time deal or does it have to be done every time I want to flash a tw rom? Do I have to do anything to go back to an aosp rom? I'm sure I could figure all this out on my own but I'm impatient. Lol. TIA

You have to flash MJ9 firmware that has the tz, params and modem in it.. This allows wifi to work.. then flash away! Just do not flash MJ9 official OS KIES bc you'll lock your bootloader..
Once your done flashing the firmware you can flash in between roms no problem doesn't matter what version,4.1.2, 4.3 or aosp 4.4.2:good:

Alright, got one more question. So I thought I had bricked my phone last night. Accidentally flashed an S4 stock rom. I know, dumb. Anyway, after 3 hours of trying to Odin multiple stock roms, I finally got one to take and the phone booted. So I immediately went and used casual to root the device. Everything went fine there. I went ahead and updated TWRP to the latest and proceeded to flash aokp. It locked up at the boot animation. So I then tried to flash a 4.1.2 tw rom. This is where it got weird. It flashed fine but then it never booted. Just a black screen after the Samsung splash screen. I then decided to try and Odin a rooted 4.1.3 rom. Still nothing. So last ditch effort I odin'd the pit file. Back in business on an unrooted tw rom. Now when I try to use casual, it won't download the proper driver to root again. Gives a perpetual error and requests the driver be installed over and over until I pull the USB cable. Is there something I'm missing?

Try this. With the phone booted, go into device manager on your computer and uninstall the driver. Then boot the phone into download mode and uninstall the driver for it in device manager. Boot phone back up and try casual again. Also make sure your Antivirus is off before you run casual.

Hi all,
I previously had my GS4 rooted on JellyBean, running the stock ROM and ClockworkMod. I upgraded my phone with the Verizon update to 4.4.2 when the update came out. I am now on the NC5 build. I am now trying to root my phone again, to run a different ROM. I still have Rom Manager and SuperSU on my phone from the last root.
I tried using Towelroot yesterday. It said the root was successful. I was able to go into Rom Manager and update CWM, which also said it flashed successfully. SuperSU is working. However, when I try to boot into CWM, it boots into the stock (I think) recovery. I'm trying to run a nandroid backup before I do anything drastic.
Do I have to wipe my device, and start fresh? It seems that CWM is installed, but the stock recovery is overriding it. Sorry if this is a noob-ish question. I've been out of the Root game since my Incredible.

I believe when you accept the Verizon OTA update it locks down custom recoveries like CWM/TWRP and the only option is SafeStrap.

Ah ha. Thanks for the reply. So can I proceed with installing SafeStrap, or do I need to uninstall CWM first?

Yea if your on a Verizon s4 running any build after MDK... which you are... SafeStrap is your only option.
Hard to say what that will do to your phone after trying to install CWM.... usually it just soft bricks it and you need to Odin back to stock...

I just started the process of installing SafeStrap, but maybe I will wait until I'm home from work, in case I need to Odin..

May be a good idea just in case. I've seen some on here do the same as you with ROM manager and once they rebooted they were brought to the unauthorized software detected screen.... And without a recovery and a backup already made you'd be out of luck.

It would probably be smart to remove CWM with Odin before attempting SafeStrap, correct? Is there a specific thread for removing CWM from a Verizon S4? I searched around but couldn't find anything specific to the S4.
Edit: I found a guide on NasirTech. Looks like that will work.

Well it didn't actually install it since your kernel doesn't allow for it now but what I would do is just use Odin and start over. Can use a No Wipe file and keep all your stuff.
You could try the method you found... I'm just not familiar with it.
Hard to say really how it will act. Maybe you'll have no issues at all just be able to install SafeStrap. Maybe you'll be able to install it but then it won't boot properly into it... who knows. Both have happened to me with my recovery ( CWM ),.. and using Odin was the only thing that helped.
Good luck .. I'm sure you'll get it going

Thanks! Would you mind helping me find a correct no-wipe file? I found a couple files, but since I'm a new user I can't post links here, so I can't ask anyone if its the correct file or not!
