My stats: Fairly comfortable with computer and other forms of tech, but have only recently began diving into the Android system. I have limited development/programming experience, however, I'm not a novice or noob to it but definitely not advanced. Importantly for those willing to help I understand most terminology and can follow instructions. Thanks in advance.
Phone Stats: AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-i717
Android Version: 2.3.6 (Gingerbread)
Baseband Version: i717UCLF6
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.11
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UCLA1
Root Access: Yes
Stock Rom: Unsure, bought online.
Carrier/Service Provider: Straight Talk (U.S.) Phone was previously used on the AT&T network exclusively, and done so with an AT&T provided SIM card. After I purchased it, I ordered a new SIM card from Straight Talk (U.S.) and reprogrammed the APN settings under their instruction in order for my phone service to work correctly, and have had no problems with that.
I can't stand being on Gingerbread any longer. I guess, since my phone is an AT&T phone but I'm using it through Straight Talk I can't get any of the OTA updates. I've tried downloading the OTA's several times, both, prior to and post Root access without success in either case.
So here are my questions:
1. Am I doing something incorrectly which might be keeping me from getting OTA updates? Please remember, I've tried downloading the OTA's several times both with and without Root Access and the conclusion is the same each time: "No Updates Available At This Time. Your Phone Appears To Be Up To Date. Try Again In 24hrs."
2. Is my only option at this point to manually update to a newer firmware? If so, should I update to a newer STOCK version or a custom ROM version?
3. If a manual update is the option, after reading my above outline of my own experience with the Android system, what would be way to go? Simple, not overly complex yet doesn't assume the user is either a complete moron or can write code in his sleep. I've checked into a couple of options. Rom Manager seems like it would be a nice route to go, but in the Recovery Setup portion I basically get told I can't use that application because my specific device isn't supported.
I checked out GooManager and, unless it's just me, it seems like it's an app that likes to do all the work without telling you what it's doing exactly, but when it does ask me or tell me information, I'm not always sure how to answer or react to it's warnings.
Plus, I've noticed that sometimes when downloading a ROM, sometimes I have to "flash" the gapps myself and other times I don't.
4. Is it easier to download everything separately and apply them one by one, for example the ROM then gapps then Kernal...etc? Or look for something that has it all in one package?
I have a laptop in which I can download/transfer programs and apps between it and my Note so download space and internet access isn't a problem.
Also, it most likely isn't information that is going to help in anyway, but I live in Oklahoma, United States of America.
Thanks for all the feedback...UnluckyOnion
I'm not answering these in any specific order,
As I kinda just sped read thru most of it...
Since you're rooted, or know how to, goomanager is superior to Rom manager.
It supports this device and has a current version of twrp to install, instead of an outdated cwm.
Just use it to install recovery, then boot your device into recovery and use that. Not the app. You'll be provided with much more information and this is the preferred way of flashing.
Official Updates are always "manual" either with a less than user friendly program called kies, or with a less annoying way (which you may be familiar with seeing as you've rooted) ODIN. Both pc programs used with the phone in download mode connected with usb cable.
Gapps are only needed to flash separately with an aosp based Rom as it's against Google's T.o.S. to include them in am entirely aftermarket compiled firmware, however if it's a Modified version of a stock based Rom (in this case TouchWiz) they can be, and thusly are, included within.
Official or custom is up to you really.
If official..just grab the .tar and flash it with Odin.
If custom, obtain a custom recovery either the way i mentioned above or downloading a .tar of twrp and use Odin to flash that.
Once you have a custom recovery, you'll simply be able to flash a Rom from there.
Roms include a kernel, if you want to use a different one than what is included, that would be flashed after the Rom.
After flashing you'll have to input your carriers apn settings in again.

Thanks for all the information and help...more importantly, thanks for taking the time. I have ODIN on my laptop and have always used it when needed but I saw a highly rated and positively commented Mobile version of ODIN in the Play Store that claims you can do everything from the convenience of your phone which sounds appealing, however it's kinda pricey, especially if it doesn't work. Would you recommend the mobile version or PC version? Also, I have been doing a lot of ROM and Root research as of late, and wondered something...Why so many different Galaxy Note's? It seems as though I have the least popular version with the most popular being from the Galaxy Note "N" series, specifically the N7000. If I download and use an application that says it's meant for the Galaxy Note N7000 and I use it on my Galaxy Note SGH-i717, what will happen? Nothing, something, brick, work perfectly, etc...?
The N series is not carrier branded and sold internationally, so naturally it's more popular compared to a north American variant.
DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING FOR THE N7000
IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
The international version has a different cpu, gpu and antenna, for north American LTE bands to work those key components needed to be different.
So I say again just to stress:
DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING FOR THE N7000
IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
As for Odin, you're either going to flashing a stock firmware, or if you choose a custom Rom, you'll only need Odin once to flash TWRP. Then all the rest will be done in recovery on the phone itself. No need for it after you've either manually updated to the latest stock rom, or flashed a recovery for use of custom roms
So... imo mobile Odin, though being nifty, is a bit pricey for how little you'll need it, whereas it's free on pc.
I don't think mobile Odin is even available for the i717. It's not listed in supported devices.
I tried installing mobile odin and it's not supported
Thanks for the reply. And an even bigger Thanks for downloading the app and checking. I admire sacrificing your own work just to help me out. So what about yourself? Would you suggest, advise or heed caution to anymore of my questions?
By the way, what are you two running?
As long as you read the op of threads and all other important posts that follow BEFORE ever touching your phone, I'd say try a custom Rom...if you decide you don't like any of them, you can Odin flash the stock jellybean firmware at any point.
I myself am running unofficial aokp compiled and posted by a fellow team member BlownFuze.
Oh yeah, how's it running? Nice and stable or crawling with bugs? Any key selling points?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I'm on the stock 4.1.2 release and rooted.
Everything works, no bugs, but battery sucks. Even after removing and freezing useless processes a stock rom will never be as light and battery friendly as a custom rom.
I just upgraded to the same version. Planned on rooting over weekend. Any success since your last post? Do you nave preferred Root method?
Thanks

Use Odin to flash twrp
Newest version of twrp "should" Sr that you're not rooted and ask if you would like to do so within recovery before booting back into the os.
If not, there's links to an su.zip to flash in twrp for root.

Hey man, thanks, it worked like a charm. I appreciate the help from both you.
After unrooting this phone I am stuck on checking connection on the setup.
The only solluction I can think off is to flash a stock ro via the original recovery, but i can´t find anything on the web except for a .tar rom, that i can´t find a way to flash.
Can someone with the same phone please make a backup iage that is flashable via the original recovery?
Thank-you
I found a solution for my problem
Download and install SUGAR MTK_SP 3.5.0
Select the model V696
Connect and turn on the phone
Click on upgrade.
A new fw version will be installed!

Hi Jorge, what method did you use to root that device?
The only one i could find was kingroot.apk, it works.

I was to ask Vodafone (PT) to provide me instructions to root the phone, but after seeing they not help you with the ROM, I gave up.
A few questions if you don't mind.
Can you provide me the link or the apk for the kingroot that you used? There are so many kingroot's over the internet and I'm unsure what to pick.
I've read some people saying that kingroot installs crapware on their phones, it happen to you?
Why did you unroot the phone, is that related to my previous question?
Do you know if there are other ROM's for this phone?
Thanks in advance / Obrigado

Sir, I need Vodafone grand vf696 firmware Vodafone does not open showing only boot animation please help me Thanks
Hy I rooted my device its VF 696(Vodafone grand smart 6) and I unroted it again but it does not want to update it day your device has been rooted or modified but I unrooted so the question is how can I return it to the original state pls help me
Hi all,
I am a newbie and don't know much. So please bear with me.
I was trying to root my Galaxy S5(SM-G900H) by using the tutorial given on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537 but the process did not go as planned as keep struck on recovery.img on odin3.10 so I googled and found that changing USB port will help so I take out the battery changed the port and try again but this time I soft-bricked the phone as odin struck on cache.img and now when i try to start my phone I get Firmware upgrade encountered. So now I again googled and found about unified toolkit and install it on my windows 10 ,now when i choose option 6 (i.e. flash stock boot image to your device) it says waiting for usb debugging to be enabled ,now I remember I turn USB debugging on but it is still struck here. Now what should I do? My parents gave this phone just a week ago and I am in deep trouble.
P.S.-I am only able go into the download mode not recovery mode.
Boot into Download Mode and use Odin to install the original firmware. Might require a factory reset after if still bootlooping. Here is a link to 6.0.1 from Sri Lanka https://mega.nz/#!YMAFhR4a!pZmf7OEWgzDzET1FLGsAOQ5XyVlvE8y4pJfB8KDNbMI . Any region firmware should work for the F model. If you want your specific one then check sammobile.com. I just linked to the other because it is a much faster download.
Problem encountred while installing original firmware
I tried to use Odin to install original firmware , I started the process but Odin got struck on sboot.bin (Also I read somewhere that whole process does not take more than 10 minutes). So please help me.
Which firmware did you try?
You might be able to use Kies to recover your device as well.

I downloaded it from http://www.teamandroiders.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900h-stock-rom-firmware/ with PDA: I9500XXUBOL2. I want to know one more thing as I am in India so should I use INU or INS?

Oh geez...no wonder it isn't working. i9500 = S4. Really gotta be careful with that kind of thing.
INU is for unlocked from the factory
INS is for phones from a carrier
Either one should work. As mentioned, with the G900h, any firmware should work that is for that model, no matter the region. Use the one I posted and change the language or grab the one for India from sammobile.com though it'll take an hour or 2.
Edit: I see that it was just mislabeled as i9500, but the download says g900h after all.
Were you on 5.1.1 or 5.0 before you started this process?

Well I downloaded another one from http://firmwarefile.com/samsung-sm-g900h the second one, before it all started I was on 5.0 and the link you give does not work anymore. Anyway I tried with the firmware with upper link. And Odin is struck with sboot.bin for more than an hour. And have no idea what's going on? So what should I do?
Also someone suggested to use Pit. Should I use it?
No, don't use the pit. Try the newer firmware for 6.0

I try two times to flash the firmware first time it struck on sboot.bin and second time it just showed fails(I used Odin with administrative rights this time) .Please see the attached images. Please tell me what should I do now. I want to repair it ASAP.
Not sure. This is pretty standard stuff. Have used Odin 1000 times and haven't had that much trouble with it. Sorry.

I think I should mention that the firmware I used was INS not INU and if you have a genuine link for version 6 for INU with fast download speed, please share it (different than sammobile because it has only fast speed only for premium users). Should I use PIT or try something else than Odin. Anything that might help please tell me. I have got this phone just a week ago and my parents are not gonna give me a new one so please help me.
I keep encountering sboot.bin error ,maybe there is a way to resolve it?

I want to know one more thing on the above link there is a custom firmware and there is a custom ROM with bootloader and all. So should I flash custom firmware or use the instructions given on thread to flash custom ROM?
The custom rom does not include bootloader and modem. You will need to flash via Odin if you were not on the same firmware as the software is based off of. I would flash them anyway, to be safe. You can skip the root part as it is not need. Follow the instruction in post 2 for stock rom users minus the root part. Make sure to boot directly back into TWRP recovery before it attempts to boot. You can load rom on SD card and any additional add-ons you want. Plenty of youtube guides on how to use Odin to flash TWRP and such.

Finally seen some progress, thank you very much. I successfully flashed TWRP recovery, but I got a couple of questions. Firstly I should flash ROM from recovery mode and then go to download mode to flash boot-loader and Modem files right? Should I flash ROM from SD card? And if this custom ROM causes problem is there a way to get to stock ROM? And is this custom ROM rooted or I have to root it via CF-Auto root or try anything else?
Rom might work without bootloader and modem. Just depends on your previous firmware. I would try and flash it though as it was recommended. Rom flash from SD card or internal. Either way should work. You will be able to go back to stock if you can find a firmware that works. It is already rooted.

:good::highfive::victory:
It should work to reflash the original firmware through Odin. Just get the one that matches your baseband version.
I have this canadian version of Huawei honor 5x, and I've been scouring to find answers to whether if am i able to flash a custom rom such as cyanogenmod or not. Can anyone please help me out with this; I've already made several post and it get unanswered. Sofar I've managed to unlock the bootloader, flashed twrp, and rooted it. When I tried installing CM 13 from a thread on this site, I always get the "error 7" and I tried deleting the 2nd line in the meta-inf and rezipping the rom and reflashing; results remain the same.
Here's more info on my phone:
Build#: KII-L05C654B330
EMUI 4.0
Hopefully this will answer your question.
You have a slight typo in your thread title, the Canadian version is the GR5.
I have the same phone as you, and am currently running Lineage OS which is the only one so far that the developers have stated they support all variants (except firmware with VOLTE). Even though they support all variants, thus far the zips they provide still have a line where they assert, so you need to edit out those lines in the updater script. But everything works including fingerprint.
Now, I am currently on chatr, so I do not know if LTE is enabled or not as chatr doesn't use LTE, just 3G. But I do have a backup of my ROM in case you need it. My Backup is from the Zoom Mobile version (Rogers subsidiary/MVNO) which means it doesn't have all the Rogers bloatware apps. But same firmware. Also, I did read here that you need to be running recent firmware so your firmware etc is up to date. I trust you ran all the Huawei updates prior?
Have a look at Lineage OS. It's awesome.

Hai bud , he mentioned that he is on emui 4 . So we have necessary proof that he is on marshmallow which we require to flash a rom on 5x:highfive:
And after thinking for a while , the last version (latest updates) have modem issues so custom roms may have stopped working for u due to this. I have solutions for u .
Hi Chaos Storm!
I'm fellow Canadian and just got GR5 on kijiji for my daughter.
Just couple quick questions: what ROM do you have now? (i.e. which one you recommend?)
Are there any tricks to flash? I'm having issue now - unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, SU. But when I try to boot into TWRP I get stock recovery. Can boot into TWRP only from TWRP app or ADB command...
Then I tried to flash LinOS 14 but got Error 7...
Thanks in advance!!!

Not sure what happened there. When you unlocked the bootloader did you reboot at least once to allow it to reset all data? I've had issues before if I unlock a bootloader then immediately flash something.
I know TWRP should ask you if you want to prevent stock recovery from being restored when you exit, always say yes. (It should only ask once)
Did you edit the updater-script in the Lineage install zip? You need to remove the first line or two where it says: "assert device" or something like that.
If all else fails, boot the phone into fastboot, flash twrp again, and make sure you "fastboot reboot recovery" so the unit doesn't have a chance to try and restore the factory recovery. Then try flashing your rom again.
Thanks for reply! With the help of fellow members I figured it out - I was holding POWER button TOO LONG And if that happens, phone goes into built in recovery... You suppose to let button go once you see first splash screen.
So it's all good!
Thanks!!!

I will have a look. As things would be, I also need to restore my GR5 so I'll find it for both of us.

- G930UUEU4BQD2_G930UOYM4BQD2_ATT.zip
Thanks a bunch! I've been trying to download it with no success
Thank you. Time to tinker again...haha
Yeah I'm gonna get this rooted and hopefully get some performance back after UPDATE: i rooted successfully but after i tried to fix the fingerprint sensor issue my phone would only boot to recovery and download mode so i flashed to stock
It turns out that when I flashed those files it kept trying to activate my phone on the sprint network instead of att and also it made my settings go wonky so I'm downloading the u firmware with the att product code again because it messed it all up
Just a heads up, I was unable to get the EngBoot Kernel working on this ROM. It would reboot on its own every 2-3 minutes. I spent about 6 hours on this until I gave up and flashed the ATT ROM and then EngBoot. That worked just fine (except for the performance issues).

Ok I just want to make sure I'm not going crazy over this so thanks
If I'm using a G930T but using Cricket at my carrier should I flash this or.the TMO variant that you posted in the T-Mobile S7 forum?

I don't know if it will make any difference but I would try the t-mo version to match your device.
Help!!! I went ahead and flashed the TMO version of the 930u code. I downloaded the ZIP. Placed all the right files in the correct place in Odin (comsey odin) and finished the process. The phone didn't reboot even though reboot was checked. Now I'm in a boot loop. Help!!
Update:. For it to work after flashing a second time. Not sure what happened the first time.
