Hi guys,
I bought this device from a German online-shop. It's still on stock 2.3.6. Afaik this device is not rootable with superoneclick. I'd love to root it or flash a 4.+-rom, but do not know what roms and/or kernals are compatible. I do not even know if you consider this as a international or Korean device. It's 8GB and does have a physical home button. I use the DAB+-radio quite often and would absolutely not like to lose this option when flashing. Can anyone enlighten me on the options and pro/cons? Thanks in advance!

Go to the first link, follow the instructions there and if all goes well, you'll have a rooted Galaxy Player. Once done, you have to flash cm9 in your Galaxy player before upgrading to 4.3. Click the link, go to page 8, there's a step by step instruction that the ROM Dev wrote for someone who wants to go from 2.3.6 to 4++. And I'm not sure what's a DAB+ radio is but when I flash a custom ROM, the default radio is missing afterwards. Hope that helps.

Superoneclick does not work with firmwareversion 2.3.6. Losing digital radio is the main reason not to flash a firmware that doesn't support this. Is flashing a (rooted) kernal affecting usability?

Hi,
I'm a newbie w/ android and I made the mistake to upgrade to the ICS version of Samsung note i717. Unfortunately, my experience with it has been quite poor due to the severe lags and hangups.
However, I have been unable to go back to the stock AT&T or Samsung version that the phone came with. I didnt save a backup of the original version. Is there any way to fix this?
I tried installing a ROM that some one made of the AT&T version earlier, but the phone would not boot after that (It would get stuck in the SAMSUNG screen at boot) and I had to re-install ICS to unbrick the phone.
Any help in this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks
Search or at least look in the development section where there is the Odin to stock AT&T GB

alright so after searching both here and various other sites on this question i have found nothing very helpfull...
so at the risk of being told i need to search i have to ask. I have a ATT Galaxy note I717. I did get the OTA update to 4.0. I have not yet rooted my phone but im trying to do so. Mostly so i can flash t-mobile onto it for it work properly with my 4G.
So my question is. Were is the root process for a note that already has 4.0.
I followed other instructions here http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-sgh-i717-att-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-90018/ and here http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-method-2odinheimdall/.
After installing such CMW Touch i can not get it to boot to recovery. Just goes into download mode and as welll as i do not have superuser or root acces on the phone. If any one knows where i can find the procedure to gain full root access so i may start playing around that would be greatly appreciated

The second link you provided was for the International Note. That may be the problem. Use the method here: http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/. I know for a fact this procedure works, as I have done it on my own Note no less than a dozen times due to the problem in my thread.
Good luck and happy rooting!

It says for ginger bread rooting. I am running 4.0 and do not wish to go back to 3. Will i keep my current 4.0 with that method or will it be flashed back to ICS
nvm do appologize,,, just caught my own noob mistake... lol
seeing that you have used this method before... when i go to flash the zip file it gives me an error and says it fails... yet i have super user and root acces on the phone now?
You don't have to root your phone to flash a modem. You don't need to have CWM to flash a modem either.
You can install the modem using Odin3 and your pc.
Agreed ....
Thank you ranger ....g
Hi,
I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II I605 running Android 4.1.1 that I had originally rooted via Odin and followed instructions on the galaxynote2root website last Jan/Feb in 2012
I would like to upgrade to a stock ROM of 4.3 and keep root and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction in regards to which ROM to use and the steps to do so. I really only use root for the wifi tether and would like to keep the phone as close to stock as possible. I've gone through a number of different forums and posts but can't seem to find some good instructions with a corresponding recommendation on an Official OTA 4.3 ROM to use. I've found a lot variations on 4.3 ROMs, but most of them have gutted a lot of things or discussing having to flash firmware which makes me nervous.
Also, is it true I may be forced to take the OTA in the near future and potentially soft brick my phone if I don't either revert back to stock or install a 4.3 ROM which disables the update app. I'm not sure if the ROM i'm currently running has this disabled or not.
Thanks in advance for any help,
eugenikz
Beanstown or sophisticated rom will be the official stock 4.3, however your gonna have to flash the Official MJ9 firmware via Odin. You could take the OTA but the bootloader will be locked afterwards. There is root available with the OTA stock but you won't be able to load a custom recovery therefore no more custom roms.
+1. I did this with my note2. Was the same as yours. I'm now on sophisticated 2.0 highly recommended. I also updated recovery to Phils, which seems to be the conventional wisdom for flashing 4.3.

I bought a used used phone rooted with slimbean on it. I did manage to update through TWRP and really like that rom so far. I'll present an app in a few days and want to use an mhl hdmi adapter to project the app on a screen. It seems there's a driver issue and slimrom wont ever support the adapter. So I need to install the stock firmware for the presentation and want switch back after and would like to keep twrp. I could also dual boot it and that would be even better, but does the stock rom supports it ?
Since I know how to use twrp, that would be the simplest way to install the stock rom, How can I do that ?
Is it possible to dualboot the stock firmware ? How can I do that ?
Thanks,
Kristian
EDIT: I have a SGH-I747m (canada) and don't know which stock rom I should use, I don't know the original carrier. I looked on sammobile but you need to know your carrier to find it's original rom.
Wrong forum, this is for the i9300 only.

The device is already rooted, you just need to download any custom ROM you want, reboot to recovery, and flash your desired ROM from there.

first of all thanks for your answer.
If I understand properly
therefore, I'll have not any problem because of 4.4.4
that is correct ?
Yes, that is correct. The device is already rooted, with custom recovery, which means you can just reboot to recovery, wipe everything, and flash any desired ROM you want.
@@[email protected]........No disrespect intended, but this is "flashing 101" basics stuff........
The fact that you are asking it, tells me that you don't have the experience needed to do this comfortably.....
That's not a problem though.....we all start from the bottom, and learn as we go.....
But that being the case, i'd advise that you don't do anything to your phone until you've read, learnt and completely understood the processes behind the flashing procedure. It's best to understand what you are doing beforehand, rather than trying to figure out what went wrong afterwards.......
