Hi Everyone,
My dealer in Canada just confirmed that they have the SGS2X T989D in stock and can sell me one tomorrow, and I want to start hacking it immediately, but before I throw a bunch of stuff at it and potentially brick it, and assuming I can get CWM Recovery and SU on it, how can I dump or back up the stock rom? I'm not a newb, but not super advanced either, so any help would be great! Thanks!

Hey guys, anyone know how to save/extract/dump/backup the stock Telus ROM for Recovery before we start flashing stuff to it?

Is it same as the T-Mobile version? Thinking about getting this phone from Telus as well but really worried about developer support.
Thanks
I would suggest not loading any custom roms yet. The roms were built for the t-mobile version. It's not a big deal, they work fine but the ROM thinks you have a T989 when you actually have a T989D.
The devs just need to incorporate our model in the current roms and it will be alright from there. The Telus model is rootable using the same procedure as the T-Mobile version.

i got pretty good at flashing stuff for my galaxy nexus, but now as a note II owner I feel like a total noob.
i have the Telus Model - SGH-i317M. is that the same model for At&T ... all At&T flashing/rooting guides would work for me?
can I flash the international firmware? by doing so, will that mean I get official samsung updates faster?
cheers,

I would also backup your modem with twrp recovery, so if you run into problems, you can just restore. Also some roms are based on the Canadian note 2 as well.

Does the Canadian version work fine regardless if the Canadian carrier is Telus or Rogers?
Is cf-auto root a recovery tool? If so, only 1 of those 3 would be needed right.... Because no sense in 3 recovery tools? Any recommendations please which would be the best one for me?

Cf-auto root roots your phone, it doesn't install any recoveries. Here's the thread, just download the Canadian version and flash with Odin (yes it works with telus/bell/rogers) . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33854391
Then, if you want to flash custom roms then you need to install either Cwm or twrp recovery. Recommend twrp.
You can install twrp by installing goo manager via play store or download the file to flash with Odin.

After you're rooted, if you install goo manager, it can install twrp automatically. I'm guessing there must be some variance to have a Canadian version.
Just search for nandroid backup for twrp recovery which is a complete backup. Lots of guides and YouTube videos if you search for it or someone can point you to one.

No problem. Well first I would only install firmwares that are in the i317 Devs section.
To answer your question, root > install recovery >do a nandroid backup!>install custom roms

Custom roms are firmwares. There are some roms that are ported from international firmwares and made to work for our version of note 2. All the compatible roms/firmwares are in the AT&T dev's section here, just make sure you read all the instructions and you can always ask them the question in they're thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1874
In any case, I would do a lot more research and reading. There are bunch of guides and tutorials.

I just started playing with the Galaxy Note 2's as well this weekend (all Rogers i317m). Rooted 5 of them, and installed custom roms on 3 of them. All in all much easier than jailbreaking iphones. That said, this forum has been a wealth of information. I've tried a few roms and really like the International Stock Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575. I will try Clean Rom next.
This is what I've done, and it's been a snap :
1. Put your phone into Odin Download mode, and root the phone using ODIN and the cwm6-root-note2.tar file (clockworkmod-there's some youtube videos on how to do this)
2. Download the custom rom you wish to flash to your phone (eg download directory)
3. Boot your phone into CWM recovery mode
4. Make a BACKUP rom of your existing phone (good for recovery, if you didn't back up all your contacts, sms, apps, etc....this is like TIMEMACHINE and saves to your phone's CWM directory).
5. Erase / Wipe Data (this does not erase your photos/videos, just basically the OS).
6. Flash ROM from ZIP (from your download directory)
7. Erase cache
8. Reboot to your new Custom Rom!
9. If you don't like the new Custom Rom, you can always boot back into CWM and restore from the BACKUP rom.
10. I highly recommend looking into Titanium Backup and SMS Backup, as well as syncing your contacts to GMAIL.
Good luck

I would flash the Telus stock which is root injected from this thread. You may need to set the csc to Telus. Flash with odin. You can easily remove the root if everything works.

You don't have to downgrade to 4.1.1 just downgrade the modem. Once that's done the hidden menu will pop up. Then you can upgrade the modem again. Upgrading modem after unlock will NOT erase unlock

Just download the modem from the link, reboot into recovery and flash the modem in recovery (TWRP is recommended) it's the same a flashing a rom but you don't have to wipe, just install and reboot.

TWRP is a recovery script, I'm assuming you use CWM recovery then, right?

Thanks ..I know this..
This is MJ2 stock recovery. If you need it just flash with mobile odin or ABD :
ADB guide :
In our case, we need an image for the Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T. Telus, Rogers, Bell, and SaskTel phones are (almost*) the exact same phone as AT&T, if you have one of these devices, you will be installing the AT&T recovery.
Now, transfer the ".img" file you downloaded onto your device. I'd suggest somewhere with a nice short path, like "/sdcard/<file>.img" (you'll thank me later, especially if you're using terminal emulator on the device)
Now, let's back up your existing recovery. If things go wrong, you can use this backup to get back to where you started.
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery-backup.img
That should have created a "recovery-backup.img" on your phone's internal storage.
Here's the part you've been waiting for: Flashing the new image, which installs it as your recovery system. You do this from either an ADB shell or inside Terminal Emulator.
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/<file>.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
You're done. Reboot into your new recovery by holding VolUp and Home while you power on your device.
Remember to enable USB Debugging in Developer options if you are using ADB method.
I've been searching and reading for last couple days and haven't been able to find a definite answer. I'm using note 2 i317 at&t with stock 4.3 out of the box. I've been able to root it and get past Knox successfully. My question is can I install a custom recovery using stock 4.3? I'm wanting to use xposed framework and I want to be able to make a backup and have recovery optons. I've heard it may not be possible on 4.3 due to possible locked bootloader and the Knox thing. Any help is appreciated.
Just flash your custom recovery using Odin...
The Knox bootloader is generation #1...and does not prevent the flashing of custom recoveries or kernel images. .
Edit:...custom recoveries will trip the Knox counter...and void the device warranty. ..
Once you have a custom recovery. ..you can create your full nandroid backup...
Then you'll be able to do anything you want with roms etc....g

Not exactly. ..
Once you root...or flash a custom recovery. ..you will trip the Knox counter...(bootloader flag)
Effectively. ..that will void warranty...
However. ..This flag will not effect using your nandroid backup to restore the device if you should need it... (store that backup on your PC for safety)...
But if you don't care about warranty. ..then a revert to stock 4.3 is quite easy...minus the tripped bootloader flag....g

Sry if I seem like I'm thread jacking but just wanted to clarify something. So with the AT&T note 2 on the stock ota 4.3 we can still install a custom recovery and flash custom roms and kernels or does it have to be 4.3 touchwiz based roms? If so can someone tell me the steps to do so?
The only reason I'm asking is I have both an att not 2 and a Verizon both on 4.3 and with the Verizon note 2 I had to use safestrap to flash a custom rom but can't flash kernels (so I'm not really new to flashing and all but new to the att scene and wanted to make sure bc I was told that with a locked bootloader I couldn't flash roms and a custom recovery and don't want to break my phone)
Thanks (also I only had an att note 2 is so I can get 4g lte on straight talk but I like having the note 3 features)
Again thanks for the help as of right now my att note 2 is a paper weight and if I can flash any custom rom on stock 4.3 it'd be great bc at least I wouldn't have wasted my money haha

I have the att note 2 and it came with stock 4.3 and I'm now running ezkat 4.4.2 with agni kernel. So yes you can run roms and kernels. Only thing I'm not 100% sure on is if you can downgrade to 4.2 or 4.1. Here is the link to the room I'm running. It's great and has a lot of note 3 features and some s5 features.

Here is a link that shows you step by step to root(this is how I did it) also you will probably need to do the tutorial at the bottom of the page for the Knox security. http://www.droidviews.com/root-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317-on-android-4-3-ucubmk6-firmware/
And here is recovery I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159652

My question is though is how do I install the recovery (I'll read more into it but how did u do it so I don't brick the phone) and also how can we flash custom roms and kernels if it's on stock 4.3 with the locked bootloader? Or is it not locked?

I just used Odin and flashed phils cwm file. You can get it in either a flashable zip or and Odin flashable file. The bootloader not really locked from what I understand it just won't let you replace it with an earlier version. Basically no problems flashing roms and kernels and such. You just have to kill the Knox security deal with super su

I think it does. Basically load up Odin have your phone in download mode and put the recovery file into pda slot make sure Odin recognizes your phone and hit start.

What version of Odin did you use or should I use? And can you send me a download link? And I just put the recovery file into pda slot and flash that's it?
