Just make sure you read tons before flashing
It should be pretty simple after you have an idea of what's going on.
Read the stickies they will help
And flashing the Official ICS thru Odin/Kies shouldnt brick or harm your phone at all

It does not matter if your phone is rooted or not. Start up Samsung Kies. Connect your phone. Go to the Tools tab. Select "Firmware upgrade and Initialization". Fill in the info and you should force the update. Model is SGHI717. No hyphen. And use caps for model and SN.

I tried that and it said SGH -I717 does not support initializing. Now what?
It say my current firmware is PD:LA1 / PHONE:LE2 / CSC :LA1 (ATT )
Maybe update not availble yet for that??

Its not that hard just a couple files you have to download and you'll be set..
Google Odin for ATT Note and
Download this .zip file found here
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162779447/3bb6230/I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_ATT.zip.html
(its stock official ICS ) extract the .zip and put the .tar file inside in the PDA slot
And hit start
Make sure you put your phone in download mode first
(Holding volume down and power when powering up)
You should be set
I think there is a video on the stickies on how to do it as well if you get lost or confused

Some mentioned there was an ATT software update by OTA on some phones. Maybe this was an update for kies compatability on older Note handsets. Have you looked there first? Sorry if I could not help more.

Model is sierra golf hotel india seven one seven. All caps and no spaces. Kies probably didn't recognize the model.
FYI I guess there are different model numbers, or at least different ways the model number must be entered. My model # is SGH-I717...and when updating this way via Kies, I had to enter the dash. It wouldn't take it without the dash. Also, I've seen others report the model # they used was ATTI717.

and that you might have fixed it already but...
The quickest fix for me was to install ATT's original Baseband back its official I717UCLA1. Your note might have a different/custom one installed. I ran into the same exact issue today on my girlfriends Note (forgot I had a tmobile radio loaded for her). I would assume that CWM is loaded on the device also. If thats the case, search XDA for ATTNOTEUCLARADIO.zip (approx 22.1mb file) and copy to sd or internal storage on device. Boot into recovery via vol up + vol down + power. choose install via .zip. point to file and run. once completed, reboot.
now connect note to computer and run Kies. It will now tell you update is available.
Hope this helps anyone else who stumbles across this post via google search. I had to re-download files as we weren't home when I had did this where I have the files backup to to storage drive. Its safe and fast.
(Update) This will remove root access, remove CWM recovery and install ATT's bloatware crap. The cool factor: It DOES keep all your data and apps untouched except Superuser, which it removes

Put it in download mode. Start kies and once it shows your phone as connected click emergency firmware upgrade have your s/n ready make sure you have 3 gigs of space on your pc and a internet connection. It will.restore to official ics for the i717. WARNING........ THIS WILL ERASE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE BEFORE HAND. Stock ics sucks if i was you id root and install a custom ics. Example i am using the new blackstar Rom. Its the best Rom for ics in my eyes..goodluck.

I just exchanged my phone with AT&t today. Before doing so, I brought it completely back to stock from CM9.
Odin'd stock GB rom.
Odin'd stock radio (1).
Odin'd CWM.
Flashed flash counter reset via CWM.
After doing that, Kies let the phone update to official ICS. But only after doing all of that. At some point in there might be your problem.
Once I got the new phone home, I IMMEDIATELY rooted and restored to my CM9 backup. Stock anything is blegh.

I was also getting the message 'SGH-I717' does not allow initializing.
Going throught the post, I Booted the device with Vol-Up + Vol Dwn + Power (I kept the USB cable connected) and when the Samsung Logo first appeared released all the keys.
Once in the menu I selected last option click on Ok (the second touch button) then selected first option to reboot.
The phone booted normally and connect to Kies it asked for update. The update is downloading right now.

First thing first, was it working before? Where did you buy it from. Carriers have start blocking phones that are reported stolen or have balance in the account.
What does it say in settings/about phone/status?
Does that number match the one on the back of the phone under the battery?
Could you please explain what you did to get to this point?
Flashed bad modem?
Deleted /efs folder or contents?
Remote unlock error?

I am not too sure.. i got the phone from a friend who has messed it up...
He said he flashed the bell upgrade from Gb to ICS and this happened.....
I doubt it .... anyhow... couple of other things
the function *#06# shows a null/nunll
*#9090# - shows nothing
*#2263# - shows nothing in service menu
Also, *2767*3855# system format doesnt work either....
Rom is working fine... wireless and internet are all functional....
If i go to adb... i can see the efs folder and other partitions...
Well yeah, the efs folder will be there, is just generated a new one, with a generic imei.
As i said earlier, mobiletechvidoes can fix it, but since everything is working perfectly, and you live in Canada, might wanna just not worry about it?
I read the ota Canada ics update had a bad install script. Just get the zip file and flash that.
too late for that, the "damage" has been done, and he is already running it, flashing the zip won't help now.

So any way i can revive the phone back to life?
Had this happen to me a few times on my sgs1.
Only thing that fixed it was flashing older stock rom through Odin. You can try samfirmware to get it or there is a complete set of stock files here in the forum as well.
Good luck.

I'm sure he will provide the answer ...
And I hope he posts here as well, as it would help others like yourself ....g
I'm not sure if this would help at all but it might be worth a shot.It creates TEST IMEI's and other stuff through ADB .Maybe it can even retrieve your actual IMEI somehow? Post back in this thread if anything comes of it so other people with problems can follow .

Here's my fix
I had the same problem with IMEI showing null/null....this happened after I flashed new radio band to get 4g on Tmobile for my AT&T Galaxy note. It appears that I had flashed a zip file for new radio that messes up the IMEI number. I have heard that others have just simply re-flashed their Note using other custom roms that has it's own radio band and IMEI number reappears. I simply used Samsung Kies to force most current factory rom into my Note (search how to do that) and it added factory setting to my Note...including all the AT&T stuff but it did unroot my phone....but it fixed the problem and I got my IMEI back....PM me if you have any questions.
To get to download mode when hooked up to Kies: hold down volume down and power at the same time until download mode comes up. And push volume up button once download screen comes up. Hook the phone up to Samsung Kies and click "Tools" and click "Firmware upgrade and initialization".....enter model using caps "SGH-I717" and enter ok....and enter serial number...using caps....and sit tight and wait...

It didn't lock the pohne after it went back to stock did it .?
I bought this used i717 which was alleged to have been unlocked.
Android 4.0.4
Baseband i717UCLF6
Kernel 3.0.8
The phone can't recognize a Tmobile sim, nor could it recognize an AT&T sim or a few international sims for that matter.
I attempted flashing a few tmo radios from this site but it would not budge.
I reflashed an AT&T radio but it still can't see the AT&T sim.
Finally, I had thought of returning it to as it came out of the box condition and see if it'll see the AT&T sim.
At that point I'd start from a known platform, but of course my ultimate goal is to use it on the tmo network here in the US and any international GSM network as in an N7000 when I am traveling.
Any thoughts on this plan?
Are there files out there to make a stock AT&T i717 (or from the state it is now in) operate on a tmo network?
Are there any files out there to make it operate internationally ( from a stock AT&T condition or from the state it is in right now)?
THA.
Nothing you did so far or plan to do will unlock the phone.
Either you buy a code from ebay, etc. or call at&t and ask for the code. Then put a non at&t sim in the phone, start the phone, and when it requests the code, enter it. Then you are unlocked.
Once the phone is unlocked successfully, search the Super Everything stickie for the procedure to run on tmobile network.
It sounds like you got a bum phone. It should recognize the AT&T SIM with no problem whether it is unlocked or not.
Since it doesn't see any SIM, plus the fact that it's used, makes me think that the SIM card slot is broken or malfunctioning.
I'd return it if you can and get your money back.

Assuming that it was never unlocked as the seller claimed, I did buy an unlock code yet the phone fails to ask for an unlock code when I turn it on with a tmo sim.or any sim other than AT&T.

It did see the AT&T sim one night and I actually made a few test calls from and to the phone.
After an attempt or more to install a tmo radio the following day, the phone could not see any sim.
That is why I am thinking that putting everything back the way it was out of the box will give me a known point to start from.
I then could try to install any SW needed for tmo.
Thanks.
Thats the usual troubleshooting process. The stock rom and modem is in the Super Everything stickie as well.

If you want just call att like I did and request the unlock code, they gave it to me in 5 minutes. I've never had att service, using mine on tmobile.
Don't pay to unlock the phone, just read here if the above fails. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37357905
When my sim stopped detecting, you have to odin to stock to repair the EFS partition, and be careful which radios you flash. I use the ATT UCMD3 on tmobile and it gets LTE.

The phone is already unlocked.
When the phone is turned on with the tmo sim in it, the phone does not ask for an unlock code but still it does not see any sim.
So with it not seeing any SIMS, try and grab the uclf6 stock rom to reflash through odin.
Fixed my sim card not showing in the phone after many tmobile and att radio flashes.
Also the super everything thread is located here for i717. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43498032
Try using odin to restore to stock UCLF6 or the newer stock JB UCMD3 then use odin to flash on twrp recovery. Then flash your chosen rom.

Sorry about the triple qoute. Stupid 3rd party forum apps.
Did you actually use odin to flash in download mode and factory restore it? That would reflash everything at once including the baseband to a known working one. If it doesn't work after that, then its a hardware problem.

Yes I did use odin to flash stock AT&T 2.3.6 rom but please elaborate on the factory restore step.
When and how is that done if it is actually a step.

Sounds to me like a hardware issue then.
Odin will factory restore your phone to whichever file you use. You are using a 2.3.6 stock restore. There are 4.0.4 and now 4.1.2 stock files to flash through odin as well. You put into download mode and run odin and select pda option, find your stock rom and click start.
You can try restoring to a newer stock rom to see if it fixes it, although you did try this. Any stock restore should bring your baseband back. Sim works in your other phone so not the sim then?
There are a couple other pages here referring to no sim detected. Google search "no sim card detected i717 xda" and read a couple threads.
Otherwise what you did should make it work. Are all 6 gold contacts attached where the sim slides in? Not the card itself but under the guide where they contact the phone.

I wanna share my knowledge here
Learning from my experience using Samsung's devices, I found similarities in the way of reversing Samsung devices to stock rom.
So this guide should be practice for almost all Samsung devices

The site is blocked at my job so I can't go on there, but does it have the I527 version? When we were looking on there before there was nothing for that model.

Yes, it does.
Hate to burst bubbles. Sammobile still does not have sgh-i527 stock rom for att. It only has the Canadian version, sgh-i527m... sorry. Already sent mine to Samsung in plano, texas for flashing.

Great guide, but this will not work for the US i527. For whatever reason, AT&T does not even have the softeware for the Mega. I sent mine in for flashing and they had to send me a new one because they didn't have any software to flash.
Not all mega are sane bootloader and rom it varied by carriers mine is special lte version with spark usa onlt fyi samssung website do not carry usa region sigh!

Right. ATT doesn't have the software. Samsung made it for att and Samsung has it. You need to send it to Samsung but sounds like they fixed your problem anyway

Actually, I've gotten 2 new Megas. The first one had the slow rotate problem and they gave me a new Mega since it was in the 30 days. Two months later, the wifi wouldn't connect. Was told to take it to a device service center. They worked on it for 30 minutes before giving me another new Mega and was told AT&T still does not have the software.
Regading how you fix white screen problem
If I use the canadian version will it still work? Just curious because as of right now I am in a bootloop. Getting the white screen only but still allows me to download a new OS. I thank you for all the information in these thread but I need to know what else can I do if it does not have sghi527 as one of the download stock ROM?

Need help with samsung mega SGH-I527? is there any fireware and rom that are stock to download in my phone. IM IN A BOOTLOOT this moment and cant get out of the white screen mode. anyone help me please.
I was in bootloop too. No recovery rom available. I had to send mine to samsung. You can try wipe data and factory reset from recovery (power + vol up + home) but that didnt work for me.
Canadian or another rom will just give you an authentification error.

I don't know about model for at&t, cause only 1 model in my country, but if it's GSM too not CDMA, you could try the Canadian version software or international version
If you want a paper weight go ahead and flash,
We all know that our Mega has locked boot loaders making it unable to flash anything else.

4g/LTE is missing in my network menu. it only shows

I tried all new and old firmware , (including: G850FXXU2BNK3_SER_ROOT_NO_KNOX_O ) but the result is the same.
Can anyone help, please?

I had that issue on another Samsung device (i9195). It seems Sammy hides that meny for the countries that jt lists as not having 4g. Try resetting your phone completely, install a fresh and most recent build from www.sammobile.com/firmwares
Or you can try and change the CNC
thanks for answering to my question.
But the problem still remains.
Any other ideas?
are you on custm rom,coz with custom rom you are not flashing modem.bin
modem.bin you can flash as phone in odin
no, I have stock, not custom rom.
the phone is new, and every phone from it's party have the same problem.

If you dont like to wait your provider update,you must root your phone & flash modem.bin with odin as PHONE
I think in Eudemony ROM v2 & 3 you have separat modem download link from me
That is your solution
thanks for answer
i have download your modem.bin from dropbox, root phone, write modem.bin with ODIN
network menu is still same
WCDMA/GSM
WCDMA only
GSM only

Flashing the modem.bin did not help, but:
Now i tried installing the custom rom itself, Eudemony ROM 3 and the LTE appeared in the network settings.
But i cant stay on custom rom, i need the stock .
but if nothing other helps, at least please tell me how can I delete the custom battery showing of that rom?
why i should make root to to flash modem by odin ?? coz i face same issue that i dont have lte 4g network ???????

Yes I think you are right I was worried I did some thing wrong coz I messed with my device when I first bought it couple of months ago
After you have rooted the device completely, go to Google Play and install 'ES file explorer'. Open the app, and press the menu key on the device and you will get a panel to your left on the screen. Scroll down and enable Rootexplorer (you will ask to grant permission by the SuperSU app since you have rooted, so give permission). Now use the search function and find the file with this EXACT name 'persist.radio.lteon' and delete it. Please make sure you are deleting this exact file. Don't delete anything else and end up bricking your device. After deleting restart the phone and that's it! You will have the LTE/WCDMA/GSM option in the network mode once you are booted and you will receive 4G signals if you are in an area with LTE coverage.
