Hi,
I know that it is safe to flash AT&T roms on our 889 or 889V note II but if we do so, when we go to settings, we se I317 under device name.
Its not really a big deal because i can connect without any problem on a windows computer.
My only problem is when I was on Ubuntu (latest version) the usb connection could'nt mount.
If its possible to post a guide, will it bother the developpers?

My wife's Tmobile Samsung galaxy s2 got wet and now it's only recognized as "unknown device" by PC via USB connection. The sim card is not detected either but everything else work fine. The battery still charges ok with usb cable and PC can access the phone with kies. Now I’m trying to find out if it’s possible to root this phone without usb connection.
I've searched the forum and seen many people asked the same question before. Pretty much all answers were that it's impossible to root without pc/usb. Sorry I’m asking this again but I see some more recent posts (first 2 links below) in the I9100 Galaxy S2 forum suggesting it's doable by following the guide at the 3rd link below.

so my questions are:
do I understand this correctly and it's indeed possible to root tmobile gaglaxy S2 in a similar way to what described in the I9100 forum? If yes do I have to get the ICS first? I suppose I can get it via PC+Kies since the sim card is not working. the CWM.zip file (cwm stock recovery) used in the guide above seems for AT&T galaxy s2 only. is there a .zip file for tmobile version too? I found a .img file but don't know if it will work and how to put it into the external SD card.
many thanks

I dunno about you but if my wifes phone got wet.. I'd be getting it fixed asap before I got my head chewed off instead of worrying about rooting it..
As far as an initial recovery flash with cwm goes, I was under the impression the only way to do it was with ODIN while in download mode and rooting it through the flashable zip from CWM.. Maybe someone can offer some better suggestions though..
Hey guys,
Im a recent android convert after having bought an iPhone on the first day it was available, and almost all revisions since. I bought my Note II just before Xmas and cannot believe how satisfied I am with the new OS and the hardware.
Now in the android world, I'm lookign to gain the full functionality of multi-view by rooting and installing CLEANRom. However after reading all the guides I still have a couple questions.
1) By using the root injected roms (Im on Rogers), will the phone be ready to accept CleanRom? Im just unclear if root injected methods allow a custom ROM to be installed without any issue. If not, is there an alternative or easier rooting method that will allow cleanrom to be installed?
2) finally, due to my noobness, Im just wondering if there exists a very clear guide (perhaps with a video or picture step by step) that uses as few acronyms as possible (im still getting the hang of the jargon) for first root injecting/rooting a note II/similar phone and also installing a custom ROM?
Also, as Im a mac user, any tips on being able to carry on this on a mac would be appreciated. As it stands, Im boot-camping windows XP using a virtualizing software with windows 7 to be able to do this.
Thanks in advance guys, looking forward to being a part of the community.
It sounds to me like you are looking for a "laymans terms" description on the physical mechanics of installing a custom ROM. Here is a link to a post where I gave the best instruction I could to install a custom ROM (in this example the jedi rom) for someone on att. Most of the steps will be exactly the same for Cleanrom and I think there will be seperate instructions for Rogers in the actual Cleanrom thread.

Thanks topshelf. That thread clarifies things big time.
as a fellow Mac user, you are pretty much going to be frustrated and pissed off when trying most Mac methods to root. I dual booted mine with Windows 7 just for the purpose of screwing around with my phone(s).
I don't know about root injection or whatever. I know I used Odin on Windows to flash a single .tar file and that gave me superuser, and my cleanrom 4.05
There are several ways to root and it seems there are different methods here and there. It is quite frustrating at first.
http://galaxynote2root.com/ is a good site and I believe it is the same guy that has made like 60 videos for the Note 2.
There are different Roms and people sometimes try different ones. I like the cleanroms by scott. Just search for scotts roms on google and it will take you to his site.
You will have to do a factory reset on your phone first. It will erase everything and bring it back to how you got it out of the box. Reset won't touch your external sdcard.
I don't know how anything works with virtual windows. You may also have to download Samsung drivers to get the computer to recognize your phone.
So yeah I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919V) by Videotron which I then unlocked, sadly I had the surprise of not having access to LTE so I came here immediately in order to find a solution, which I sort of did but didn't work as well as people claimed it would. I downloaded T-Mobile's stock ROM (M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB ) and extracted it to get my modem.bin which I then put in a .tar to flash in Odin with no success, instead I go a Security Check Fail error. I've then did some Google search which brought me to a few threads here and there with other people with similar issues but no actual clear explanation on how to go through this, any idea or optimal solution for this? It would be greatly appreciated.

After further research, I came across a few information which draws me to a different issue that could probably be causing the rest.
Apparently Odin has to read my phone and show a yellow box to say that it's actually working and ready to go? I already had the latest Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones and USB Debugging Mode enabled but I still do not get that said yellow box and it keeps giving me Auth Fail errors with literally ANYTHING I flash on my phone whether its a Custom Recovery, a Modem or even a mere input in Android Terminal Emulator, it's as if my phone was completely blocked from any type of outside source for whatever reason, never had this problem before. Anything that I could be missing?
So I managed to install a custom recovery and rooted it, so basically, the issue isn't Odin, it's a modem compatibility issue, my current modem is M919VVLUAMG1 which is from Videotron and doesn't support LTE, and on this exact website people said that it was possible to flash a modem.bin from T-Mobile's firmware in order to be able to get my LTE back but this leaves me with an Auth Fail error all the time. I'm really desperate here and the lack of support is saddening.
The temporary solution that I found is simply installing the latest T-Mobile Cyanogen Mod on my device and I got my LTE back but that isn't what I am looking for, so until I find a more solid solution I'll stick to this.

Is that 10.1 or 10.2 CM? You got LTE with calls to work with that?
10.2 RC2, set your APN to the proper LTE one, it'll show you 4G but in reality its LTE, its written in the CyanogenMod's FAQs and I also did a speed test which got me 45 Mbps DL and 25 Mbps UL
Hello everyone!
I thought I bought a unlocked phone from Fry's electronics! but it ended up as a AT&T SGH-i317 Galaxy note 2
I tried to take it back but they said the only way it to buy an international phone??
what I got is a Galaxy note 2 SGH-i317 AT&T android version 4.1.2
can anyone tell me the very best way to root this phone and the best custom recovery app for this phone and also
is there a stable or should I say the best reliable rom to use for this phone
I can see all the post for all this for this phone but I wish to only do this once
and not like all the apps I did on my old htc evo 4g
Thanks for all the help and advice

Rooting
yes I have gone through and have read all the post I can about rooting this Samsung Galaxy note 2 SGH-i317
I see two ways of rooting
1 using the program Odin
2 ExynosAbuse-v1.40
3 then there is this one here http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...s/247891-t-guide-how-root-unroot-t-note2.html
I am sure there are other way I have seen on the web. But then we read about this knox thing about rooting
then ExynosAbuse says that way is the most secure way, safe from hackers
does this mean the other ways of rooting open your phone up for hackers to get in??
I am SORRY I can not write code I am not a computer or cell phone geek (brainy person in the computer world)
but I do not wish to brick, mess up my new phone!
So I am here to ask the question what is the best way to root and why
my aim is to get rid of the AT&T stuff I also would like to install a custom recovery / boot loader and a stable custom rom
on my Galaxy note 2! like I had with my old phone htc evo 4g
but from what I have read on the web it seem the Samsung phones have issues with rooting then the htc evo 4g did
so my I politely ask for help and information on this rooting of the Galaxy Note 2
to me so far number 3 from about seems good but then for safety I got to go number 2 from above??
HELP PLEASE
Bill
Root is done
well I rooted my phone as I have gotten no advice from here allot of peek-a-boos I see
I tried the Odin way but I kept getting a c++ error from both of my computers and the program had to be shut down?? oh well
then I tried the Skipsoft toolkit and that got it done
now is there any one out here that is a rom installing maniac?? Could you tell me please what rom out there that is fully functional and
stable like the stock rom on this Samsung galaxy not 2 SGH-i317 is!
my reason is to have a clean system on my phone with no AT&T gunk while I am on T mobile service
is there any help or advice for this or am I posting to dead air
Bill
Use CF auto root....found in the development section under the same name...
Verify that you are using root for the 4.1.2 firmware..and done...
Don't use those odd root methods or you'll have issues...
CF auto root is the root standard for this device...
Once rooted...you will want to flash a custom recovery and make a full nandroid backup of the device...(I use TWRP recovery...but you can use CWM as well without issue)
Both recoveries are also available in the development section in their respective threads ...
Store that backup on PC so you don't lose it to bad sd cards or deletion...
And do "NOT" upgrade your bootloader....or you'll never be able to go back to pure stock later if desired...
Read read read...and go slowly for comprehension...
Happy flashing....g

About 1 and a half months ago I flashed a Rom, as I had done many times before, and expected to have little to no problems with it. Man was I wrong. I was unaware that I had flashed a T-Mobile modem with it by mistake. I had done 3-4 backups in TWRP but they all must be too old to help or something. I have read that any Canadian SGH-T889v Note 2's, which is what I have, that flash the T-Mobile modem can not revert back to the Wind Mobile modem. If I am wrong can someone with more experiance with this issue, please, correct me and guide me in the right direction to repair it. I have bought a Z3X box to repair my imei but over the last 7 days I have been unable to have my Note 2 even be recognize by it. I am assuming that something has been damaged in the usb communication setup. And yes I have reconfigured the settings in the hidden menus just as the instructions laid out. The baseband appears to be locked to the T-Mobile version "T889UVUCMK7". I am at the android version 4.4.2, and my bootloader is at version T889VVLUDNE7, which is also the number for my PDA Version. I have read that a JTag may be the way to go to recover the full functionality of my Note 2. If this is correct can someone recommend a good one.
Thanks to everyone who shares their experience.
If you end up with JTAG, mobiletechvideos.com is a reputable one. I doubt you will get far without something akin to JTAG. YMMV.
