Just wondering if anyone has tried rooting their Canadian Notes. I'd try it on one of the Notes at my store if I could.
Methods that might work:
S2 Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414&highlight=unroot
This is supposed to work with all Samsung devices
Super One Click 2.3.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
There are a couple other Skyrocket methods that could be attempted too. But I don't see why these 2 methods wouldn't work. If someone could try them out and report back, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.
Can't comment on the first method since I don't feel like patching in sketchy kernels, but Super One Click is a big pile of fail on this one, as is the zergrush exploit in general. Both just crash out and fail to get permissions.

Hmm... It probably won't be any different for the AT&T version. I'll give every method a shot though.
I'm going to wait to see if someone will release a kernel that already has root more than likely.

Should work with this version since this phone is just a big Skyrocket.

I am using a Korean note which is the exact version as the AT&T version
The way to do it would be to flash a kernel which would enable root
I wonder if it would apply to the devices in Canada Nd the Us eversions
Well when it gets here I'm going to use SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and do temp root and see if it works so I don't break it lol

Using the Canadian Telus version - SGH-I717D - the latest Super One Click 2.3.3 fails when attempting the zergrush exploit.
Using the S2 Root mentioned above (without flashing anything extra, mind you), it says:
Device Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
Device Model: SGH-I717D
ROM Build: SGH-I717D-user 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD 207 release-keys
...click "Root Device"...
Checking Device Connection...
Device Connected!
Restarting ADB Server...
Checking ROOT Access...
Superuser Request Has Been DENIED! Aborting...
if I remember correctly, many users of the galaxy s series had trouble rooting at one point because of the signature verification in the 3e recovery. So if the note has the same recovery you won't be able to root using super one click until you remove this verification process. Can anyone try rebooting into recovery to check what recovery they are using.

Okay i just rooted a skyrocket and i had to ODIN flash CMW the flash superuser.zip now thinking should i try that same attempt with the Note... Uhh id hate to brick this bad boy already!

Personally, I wouldn't risk it until you know for sure you can return it. If you have your AT&T version in hand pull the full rom dump so we can root this bad boy.

I've got a Rogers i717, and I'd love to do a rom dump, but I'm not sure how. I assume I need to use ODIN/Heimdall. Could someone walk me through it?
Ill do a dump soon as i get time when i get home.

Hi guys,
I have my note in hand, just gotta run a few errands and I will get root going shortly.
Easiest method will probably be building a kernel with root already included, anyone know of a stock ROM floating about, that would make it a bit easier Reply @ my post in ROM dev forum, thanks

Ok, so I recently got a samsung galaxy s2 i757m (bell canada version) and recently wanted to root it with cf auto root. Ran it through odin, pda. And it got stuck on a red eye patched android mascot with the words: cf-auto-root and under that were some copyrights and said words flash every few seconds. Please can someone give me a fix! Now, I can reach the download prompt on it but nothing else if it involves getting to the main os after startup. that's when the page i just described appears. Please send me a fix of anykind! Because having a bricked phone isn't the greatest experiance :crying:
Put in download mode start Odin get the stock rom from here:
http://browse.feedreader.com/c/Android_Solution/3027767
Flash it to stock.. Use this Framaroot apk 1.42 to root phone using aragon exploit:

Before I installed TWRP, I extracted the stock recovery in case anyone needed it for some reason. The zip file contains the recovery.img file and instructions.

Well you can get it easily if you have a vzw kdz then use the kdz/tot extractor in the dev section and convert the recovery.bin to recovery.img using an app like magiciso

Well the way the op recommends it is:
1 - Copy recovery.img to root of SDCard
2 - Open Terminal Emulator (or adb shell) with root and run the following command-
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
3 - Reboot
But I don't know if that would work in all cases/haven't tried, the other way to flash it is by getting into fastboot mode via adb or something and using following commands:
-fastboot erase recovery
-fastboot flash recovery recovery.omg

Is this OK for 4.4.2 20c FW? I see the original post is from last year. Just don't want to brick my newly bought phone. I just did root and install TWRP recovery. Now I see there is a 20u update and read that upgrading will result in bootloop. I wanna get back to stock recovery so I can safely upgrade

Did you manage to do it?
I needed to update too, similar thought process. Wondering whether i can flash this *.img using Flashify. I also made a backup of my stock recovery.img before I installed TWRP, could that be used either?
And most importantly, was the OTA update smooth after you got stock recovery back?
Worst case scenario, no TWRP recovery & unable to boot...

Which firmware are you trying to install and how are you trying to install it.
Like I said in my post, I'm on 4.1.2 and am trying to install 4.3..It's an over the air update.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
A guess you are rooted so OTA as per the faqs and guides has failed .
Use Kies or flash a rom via Odin .
A guess as the OP is lacking information .
But whatever you are posting in the wrong forum if you have an I9305 .
No i am not rooted. As i stated in my op, I am on stock firmware and have never tampered with it... And I do mean NEVER as in not rooted or any other of the goobldegook things that gets spoke in here... Now can anyone tell me how to sort this bug out?

The question about the firmware was not the version I could read that it was what country or carrier specific type UK, (BTU), O2, Vodafone or whatever.
You really need to calm down otherwise you wont get help people will ignore you and the mods will be the one that close your threads and ban you, are you this aggressive towards people you work with.
The less detail you give the less we can get help, so we ask the questions to try and find out exactly what you are wanting to do, just updating 4.1.2 to 4.3 isn't enough on an international forum.
Sorry was seriously stressed at the time. And i took some of these replies to be seriously condescending.
I'm in the uk and using an unbranded s3..I've factory reset the thing and it still has the same error. I also booted it holding the up, home and off button. Then cleared thr cache. Still thr problem remains.

Hi
This has just happened to me today as well. My phone kept getting the you need to wait your turn message and then it finally downloaded today but upon install it got to 27 percent and rebooted back up.
It how says it is the latest version.
I'm also in the UK on Three however my phone is rooted but I did run triangle away to reset the counter and disable supersu first.
It is running stock firmware - JZO54K.I9300XXEMG4
I guess ill install using Kies later. I hope it can install with losing anything? Ill read up later - just driven back from Scotland back to Midlands so a little tired atm

Hi Yellow Yogult
You can get OTA when rooted you just need to ensure your counter is reset and also the status is set back as normal using triangleaway as it describes.
I believe the other guy said earlier that it was his wifes s3 but he has an s4 (or was it the other way round?).
I'm just going to follow the advise to use Kies instead though after a little reading up.

Well. If u are rooted, u can nvr be Official in device status as the phone checks if u are rooted every time u restart. So even if u use triangle away, when u reboot. U are still rooted. So the device status will STILL be MODIFIED. I did it

Not quite true. triangle away has the ability for this reason to reboot and fix the status from modified into normal.

Yeah, as I said previously it worked fine. Downloaded the 4.3 update through OTA however upon install stopped at 27 percent and just rebooted back.
I guess it would just be more sensible just use Kies anyway as it was very easy.

I've been searching for a few days how to fix this problem but nothing helps, so I came to ask here.
I've tried flashing emergency firmware , also with .pit files ; tried repairing it with KIES too. Nothing.
It's S3 Blue 16gb version.
It's impossible to get into recovery , but I managed to get in it with CWM(after trying at least 100 times) , and these are the errors I got.

It shows Samsung galaxy S III logo and stays there or reboots all the time.
I can get into download mode and flash whatever I want with odin, but whatever I flash, same issue.
Looking forward to your advices/help. Anything would be appriciated.

I need to try like 100x times to just get into CWM and then when i try to wipe I get those errors I posted in photos.
Philz / TWRP doesn't even want to boot into them.
When I boot into recovery there is android standing and some sort of progress bar and it starts to fill and the phone restarts to galaxy logo again..

I tried flashing stock ICS but no luck.
I flashed stock ICS with "T flash" and " NAND erase " turned on and I just got android Downloading mode.
Then, I went to Kies and did firmware repair and I got past Galaxy screen and phone started turning on and installing apps
and rebooted again with the same issues.
