I bought a new ATT Note last week. As I am not a Noob, I did the root, CWM recovery and Sauram rom easily. But I made sure to choose the method which doesn't increase the flash counter.
Now I want to return the phone (for some reason), I mean cancel the contract. So I want to return to stock. Is there any way I can do that without increasing the flash counter?
I got it from Amazon wireless, So I don't know if they check it or not...
EDIT: I found a way to return to stock but I need rooted stock nandroid backup. Can anyone on ATT give me clean rooted stock nandroid backup please?

PM sent...can anyone else help us please...
So I got bored of waiting for Wind's OTA ICS update and them telling everyone "you get it when we get it" and i sent a ticket into HTC.. got this as the responce today.
I know how important it is to have the latest software available on your Amaze. I’ll be glad to help you. ICS updates for the Amaze are expected to release between June and July this year. Our goal is to give every customer the best possible experience on every phone. Every HTC phone is a combination of a unique HTC hardware and software experience and a core operating system, and thus, it can take some time for updates to be crafted and made available, as we want to make sure it will run as best as possible when released.
If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. Thanks for being an HTC customer and taking the time to contact us.
Let me know if I have successfully answered your question, please click here to complete this.

I'm running it now. It was available at 6am when I awoke, and according to someone on Mobilesyrup, they had it downloading before 5...
---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------
Looks like it cleaned itself out of /Download/ - so I'm guessing anyone who hasn't done it yet, to get it BEFORE they start installing it. Otherwise it'll be gone.
For some reason when I try to check for updates - it just gets stuck and only shows the message checking.... but nothing happens.
Is this because I am rooted and/or have my bootloader unlocked? Or is it because I have CWM as my recovery?
I really hope someone can provide the OTA files so I can try and update through recovery.
Please someone save the file before updating and share!
looks like its 4.0.3...
anyone care to spew out the build #'s etc and versions of everything else?

You need to relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery before you can proceed.
Coworker re downloaded it from his download link in his task bar that was still there after his update..
OTA_RUBY_ICS_35_S_Globalive_WWE_2.14.1500.6-1.46.1500.3_release_.....zip
is the gibberish after the release part important or just gibberish?
also MD5 is c2ffbf956a5dbca3ae46a13eb277eee2
unzipped okay with no errors... going to assume this is a good redownload.
ill try to post it up somewhere.. suggestions on where.

Added to my dropbox, thanks mate.
thanks to violated - we now have the zip file.
sorry - a bunch of noob questions:
Do I still have to go to stock recovery and relock bootloader to use the zip file?
If not - do I just copy the zip file to the sd card and rename it to update.zip and install it from CWM recovery?
A walkthrough would be greatly appreciated! I don't want to brick my phone!
Lastly - if I want to keep all of my apps/settings - should I do a backup and then apply the update - then reload the backup?
Thanks in advance!

If no one else answers I'll give it a try but I won't be home until later tonight and might not have much time. And will likely need hand-holding on how to do what you need, LOL!
ETA: Oh and I have a custom ROM & Kernel on mine if that matters.
Thanks for responding being on a custom rom is fine but I need stock kernel so if you could flash it that would be great!

I have a boot.img with the stock kernel in it. The Darkslide ROM has some issues with WiFi and other things when I run the stock kernel. Would the boot.img help?
if it's directly from the dev edition phone then definitely could you please upload it if it is?

Also note it says to bump your question once in 24 hours. There are not that many developer editions out there that someone is sitting here waiting for your request.
I have a stock Dev edition ATM (no root or recovery) but can access ADB if I can help. I am also interested in finding out how to get a stock recovery package for the Development Edition.

Update
Update: I have some good news and some bad news (mostly bad)
Good News: I have unlocked the bootloader
Bad News: the unlock is not permanent(?) but I might be able to fix that, just need some the run the following comands in terminal emulator and give me the files that were made:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p32 of=/sdcard/devlog.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p29 of=/sdcard/system.img
If anycone can run these (on stock w/o recovery that would be great!
I'm going to try to help. I have a stock DEV edition, non-rooted. It has been 3 years since I messed with ADB, so I will probably need some hand holding

You don't need a computer it's fairly simple just download terminal emulator from the play store and run the commands the output files will be on the root of the internal storage so if you could just upload those that would be great
Thanks. I get permission denied trying to copy /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
Do I need to be rooted?

K. I also got ADB running. Now what would be the best way to root this. I assume you don't want me to use a custom recovery to get there.

follow the instructions on this thread and help the op author out ASAP PLEASE!!
EDIT* darn it, i forgot yours is a dev phone. so root may be different..... sorry. i was just so excited about this news.
Yep. That's for an ME7. My dev phone is OYUAMDK. As far as I understand, the MDK root methods wipe the recovery or the kernel, depending on the method. I think the OP is asking for both to be intact so he can get copies. I'm not rooting until I hear from the OP.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP THIS MAN, LET'S GET THIS BABY UNLOCKEd!!
Hello, I have a Galaxy S4 developers edition stock with version 4.2.2. I have never rooted it or changed the ROM in any way. Yet for some reason I have yet to get a single update from Verizon or Samsung ... Everything I am reading says I should have 4.4 by now .. At least 4.3... Is there a reason why I am not getting update.
Thank you.

Developers Editions don't receive updates. I guess they assume that anyone with a Dev Edition will ROM it.
Hello silver7x,
I noticed your post saying that you have a Dev s4. As you may know there are people trying to unlock the bootloader for the retail version of the s4. Would you be willing to take 5-10 minutes to help them out by sending a copy of your aboot to: Surge1223 ?
We would all greatly appreciate your help. If you need help figuring out how to do so, check out his thread for unlocking the bootloader. Or send him a PM labeled "S4 Dev aboot"
Thank you!

I would be more than happy to help in any way I can. I will look at the process tonight and see how to extract the information and send it.
With regards to my original question, How does one with a developers edition phone get a stock copy of Samsung's 4.4.2
Thanks

There's no Stock KitKat ROM for the Verizon phone at the moment. You'll have to wait until VZ releases 4.4.2.

i am currently uploading the files but first 3 to pm me i will send links and full guide to so you can test it as soon as the uploads are done. if it works. i'll post guide for you guys to enjoy.
OvrDrive glad you are helping out. I still have my tmobile note 4 cause I returned my att note 7. Due to the recall. Once I get my replacement I will try the root method. Thank you.
np bud. nice to see you over here. to bad your not on t-mo though.
anyway i have the testers i need and they are currently doing what testers do
as soon as i have been informed as to this working as intended i will post it.

when i manage to get this working for you guys. you will be running full stock AT&T firmware with root, instead of AT&T modem and so on with sprint system partition(sprint apks) and the sprint database.. basically you will be on complete at&t instead of a frankenstien mix firmware

Nice. I was wondering when some development was gonna start haha.
I still have mine but not that to familiar with rooting since my last device was the att htc onex and that was with one click root.

I have been spoiled with the nexus root toolkit, but if the instructions are clear, I can test tomorrow night. I'll have my daughter until then.
If you need a tester, I could test as I still have my Att note 7 yet. I'm glad your trying to get a att stock rom root method as that I can't get my gear s or gear s 2 to work with the sprint plus att mixed together method. If you want to shoot me a pm with directions and files, I can try whatever you got cookin(lol). I'll be home from Vacation from Wildwood Thursday morning. I didn't bring my laptop with.
If we get root, we all need to donate for the awesome hard work. I'll be first in line!
ok all. i need a tester who is available to test this right now. and has telegram so i don't have to pm constantly and wait on an answer.
ok. apparently no one wants this or cares. np doesn't matter to me either way. have fun guys
