Will AT&T GNotes running stock I717UCLA1 rooted by RoloRacer's method (no tripping of flash counter) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518962 get the official AT&T OTA ICS update when available? Or will these phones need to be unrooted to get the update?
Thank you.
generally, rooted phones do NOT get OTA updates, but since this hasn't been released yet, no one can answer your question.
let us know if you get it when the ota gets released, ok?

Certainly!
I keep checking for an update daily, hoping that it will be available sometime this month. But, if it isn't here by the end of the month, I think that I will flash one of the custom ICS ROMs that are available.
If I decide to install a custom ICS ROM, will I need to first, unroot the device and then flash this new ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980

No. You will need to be rooted to get into CWM and load a ROM...if You dont have CWM installed, install it via Odin. Be aware though that this will trip the flash counter, but there are ways to remove that notification
na, just root your phone, and start flashing custom roms..
the dev's here will incorporate any changes/improvements from the official release into their base roms once it ACTUALLY comes out
there won't be anything unique in the "official" release that the dev's here won't be able to use, if its an improvement over what they are doing now..
I already have the phone rooted using the mashi root method listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518962 Being a NOOB in the Android world, I'm not sure what needs to be done next to be able to intall the ICS ROM.
Since my Note is already rooted, can I install the ClockworkMod Recovery listed here, first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23170524 and then install this ICS ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980
Thank you.
I installed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery last night with success! Now I plan on flashing ICS later today. I'm going to try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980

You don't need root for cwm. At all.
Download mode and recovery are underneath the os, only need root while inside Android itself

I feel like you've said that before...:banghead:
I have, a million times, and i will a million times more.
I installed ICS and it works GREAT!!!! Much faster than GB! Now I wish I had done it sooner.
Hey all. Quick question for ya. I am going to flash one of the JB roms to my wifes galaxy tab 10.1 this weekend.
She is currently running task's honeycomb rom. She has been running that for a good 5 months now.
What order do I proceed to get her to JB??
Must I flash an ICS rom first then flash a JB rom??
Do I need to flash a JB bootloader or an ICS bootloader?? If so where can I find them. Been searching the forum with no luck.
Any other info would be greatly appreciated. Specifically the orders or anything I have overlooked.
Thanks in advance,
Nycorduroy
not mandatory to have an ICS step, you can directly go to JB.
you just need CWM, you probably already have it if you are running task's rom.
backup your app (titanium is a great tool in my opinion)
copy rom file to your tab
make a full wipe (+cache +davilk)
flash rom
reboot and enjoy

This does not belong in the Development section. All questions need to be put into the Q&A section. Please do that from now on.
With that said, I am not sure about the bootloader but you probably need to update your version of CWM recovery, and you can find out about that as well as the bootloader stuff in the threads for CM10/JB. Pershoot's threads are probably a good place to look as well.
Edit: well someone got to it first, follow their instructions as well

Yes, Pershoot stated in Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10 Preview thread that you need to have a US HC or ICS bootloader in order not to have charging SODs. If you have a US bootloader you should be fine if not flash a stock US HC or ICS rom via Odin before you flash CM10 (you'll loose all data on the tab). Alternatively there are flashable US bootloaders but I've never tried one. I can't put the links because search feature is is temporarily unavailable.
Finally, You could still get charging sods and some wifi problems etc. even if you came from a US bootloader. Pershoot says a small minority will face these issues no matter what. A hard reset fixes these issues temporarily. If you could wait a little bit more a new cm10 is on the way with 3.1 kernel which is supposed to work fully functional. But still, I think current CM10 is the best rom available right now.
I have read through the forums and am hesitant to post, but I am stuck. I have rooted my Note II using Causal and following the tutorial after Verizon's first update.It worked great. I am not using a custom rom, but have the TRWP recovery, super user, busy box installed; I am certain that was part of the Casual Root (thank you Adam). I have also updated Casual to NoYouVerizon, but realized that my phone is already rooted. I want to update to 4.1.2 and have read to not do so OTA. Would someone please either provide a link or directions on how to update I did download the stock Root Odex - I605VRAMC3 on both my PC and my Note II, but have no idea what to do with it.
Thank you
I was in exact same scenario as you. I was rooted and was just using themes but the only way to get updated was to use a custom rom. I may be wrong but that was my way of updating. Since then I have flashed just about every rom out there that is touchwiz. Been happy with the Beans build 17.
Hope this helps!

The best way to do it would be to flash a rom through recovery, and only a rom made for flashing in recovery (ie a .zip, NOT a tar.md5).
You need to figure out which rom you want, download it, make sure the md5 checksum matches, and the flash the zip in your recovery.
There are quite a few choices for stock TW roms, and everyone had a favorite, but you have to decide which you would want and if you want any of the added features. Here are a few of the more popular stock roms that are the latest update from Big Red:
Stock Odex/Deodex:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108510
This is just the latest straight Verizon stock rom and you can choose the original odex or get the deodexed version if you want to theme your phone because having a deodexed room makes themeing easier and less glitchy.
Beans 17:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032447
This is the latest Verizon stock rom with a few added tweak and it is themed to look like an AOSP rom.
CleanRom VZW SE 3.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073390
This is the latest Verizon stock rom but it had been completely debloated and had an Aroma installer so you can choose what all you want to be present in the rom. It is different from CleanRom ACE. CleanRom ACE is the latest international Note 2 rom that had been modified to work on our phones, it usually has more updates and features than CleanRom VZW SE because CR VZW SE is the Verizon stock rom with very little added. All CleanRom roms have bloatware removed.
You also need to flash the latest radio along with your new rom if you want the newest radio that came with the VRAMC3 update, the radio will be the VRAMC3 one.

I generally move mine to my external SD because I like to wipe the entire internal memory when flashing to a competent different rom to get rid of all the filets and miscellaneous crap that I let accumulate so it'll be like a freshI new phone.
Then again I have a 64 GB micro SD card and keep several different releases of each rom I use along with all the recovery flashable kernels, radios, GAPPs, current version of TWRP and CWM, a couple previous releases of TWRP and CWM, miscellaneous mods, and various other flashable stuff.
Really its all up to you though. I like to keeo everything perfectly arranged in its own folder in my external and leave the internal for apps, if you want evening on your internal you can do that too!
Just remember if you choose to wipe your internal memory before flagging like I do then itll delete EVERYTHING on your internal SD card so you'll need to back up your media (pictures, videos, and music) because itll be deleted. You don't have to wipe your internal memory and it won't hurt anything if you choose to wipe it or if your choose not to hurt anything, it's completely up to you!

Thank you, you have been a great help. I was able to flash Scotts Rom CleanRomAce last night and worked without a hitch. I assume, from what I have read, that I can flash any Rom or updated Rom over this, when the time comes. Just curious, which one do you favor.
Thank you Again for taking the time to help me.

When an updated version of Cleanrom comes out you can dirty flash over the current version you are running, however I ALWAYS clean flash Cleanrom because usually the only reason Scott updates it is to fix an issue, rarely because there aren't many, and when a new version comes out. When a new version comes out I like to clean flash, and its recommended to clean flash BTW, because dirty flashing can lead to all kinds of bugs. As for AOSP it is generally recommended to clean flash because it is more lrone to bugs because its constantly updated. Whenever you flash a different rom though, like from Cleanrom to Beans or CR to anything else, you ALWAYS clean flash it.
Just in case you dont know what a clean flash and a dirty flash are:
Clean is when you do the wipes explained in the OP of every rom thread.
Dirty is when you flash a rom over your current one without wiping anything.
if I am going to use TW I am going to use Cleanrom, its just a personal preference. Some people love Beans because it is modded to look like AOSP, personally I would rather run AOSP. As for AOSP I prefer ParanoidAndroid (aka PA or AOSPA) and Vanilla RootBox (aka VRB or RB). I prefer VRB more than PA lately though because for me it seems more stable at the current time, when HALO is finally released for PA I will most definitely test it out and may switch back until VRB kangs it. Really you should run any that tickle your fancy out and see what you think of them before deciding on just one.

Okay - Maybe you can help me one more time...So I dirty flashed over CleanRom ACE to try Beans17. I didn't like it and flashed back to ACE. Everything was working fine until I realized ACE doesn't support Verizon Visual VM. No real big deal, but I use it regularly. So II was going to flash to CLeanRom SE and when I went to do so, I soft bricked my phone (Triangle of Death). I read through the threads and read Adams post to flash back to stock using Odin (downloaded the correct pit file and tar, but Odin will not recognize the device. I tried new cables, ports and installed the latest Samsung USB drivers. Am I stuck taking it to Verizon?

Not yet you aren't, you don't take it to them until its a last resort. this is just a driver issue.
Thats also why I said you needed to clean flash different roms, if you were updating from Cleanrom ACE 4.9 for 5.0 a dirty flash would be acceptable but if you experienced bugs you would have had to go back and clean flash before you could report those bugs and get help from the guys in the CR thread. When flashing completely different roms you ALWAYS clean flash.
Did you put the phone in download mode before connecting to Odin? What OS is your computer on? Do you have both the drivers from droidstyles guide and Kies installed?
I will help you with the driver issue as much as i can but you should really really really create a new thread in the Q&A section about this so it will get more views and maybe Hopesrequiem, droidstyle, and some of the other members who trouble shoot the driver issues can help. You should title it something like Odin driver issue with a soft brick, they'll need to know what OS youre using, what version of Odin you're using, and a lot of other stuff. Before you do that though I have a thread I am going to link in my next post here and I want you to read it and do what it says.

Here is the link I said I would post, read the OP and do what he did and see if that fixes your issue with Odin not seeing your phone.

Also remember when youre using Odin to put your phone into Download Mode and to launch Odin before you plug your phone in.

Hi
Sorry if the post does not go here.
My question is simple. Im looking to install CM in my galaxy S2 through the Cyanogen Installer. My question is, if I install it with the official installer (which Ive read it should install CM 10.1.3) can I later update it to CM11 thorugh the updater without doing anything else?
Thanks in advanced
Having never used it I can't be sure.....
But one thing i DO know is that CM11 needs a different version of CWM to that needed by CM10.1 to install....
I would be surprised if CM Installer takes care of this for you.....
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right
Heheheh thats good to be a phone geek.
Ive read that the CM11 uses the new CWM thats why I doubted if the updater could work. But didnt know if the installer when install everything uses already the new CWM. Maybe someone already tried that.
Im using the stock 4.1 for now, but wanted to try the CM11 I really like the new features.
Thanks in advanced
Anyone have a link and instructions to flash from nc5 custom rom to lollipop do I have to change kernel or modem I been reading for ever seems all links are toasted had to wipe and Odin this rom is so stable not one force close need to get my flash on guys what do I need to do I miss the galaxy s2 epic touch was nice so many roms and things to do now can't even get cm 10 . On my note no data guys I could use some help here
First off please use punctuation, it'll make it easy for people to help you. However, what I did was a Odin flash back to stock NK4 then took the OTA for OC5. Did another Odin flash to get TWRP. After that I flashed SU. Then some debloating.
Now I did see some where I think in the General section or Q&A section about flashing OC5 via custom recovery but personally haven't tried it yet.
Please excuse me I'm mobile I wanted to provide link to point you where you need to be.
Or search. Even a little. Saw a thread titled...any guesses? lol accepting bricks as donations. Jk
Thanks! Sorry been a long game time since I've posted or needded help
