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,

So if I follow AT&T model stuff, it should be fine for my model? Wouldn't it screw up network stuff like LTE?

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?
Many thanks

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
I wouldn't rush into things though before your really comfortable doing so and understand it.

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.
well you've got me off to a great start! Thanks a lot for your help!

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
Wow, thanks for your detailed post jun3280!

No prob. I have 5 Note 2's because everyone in my family has one....at my urging My wife was the first adopter, and everyone fell in love with how functional the device was. Ironically, I'm still using a company issued Iphone 4S...which I loathe.

Hi there,
I'm new to this, but my question is how to I return my phone to stock, I had someone root and add a rom to it and now I have lost my lte radio..but this person tells me all is fine and that I'm completely stock and just rooted, this may be true but the phone hardly works now..
info:
telus phone Note 2
sgh-i317m
but when I check my phone know it says its a samsung sgh-i317 now instead of sgh-i317m, this have made me believe that the phone maybe was rooted with n7100 firmware.
all I want is the phone to be completely stock as if I have just pulled it out of the box
I dont want it rooted or any sort of rom, I need all stock files because I have no backup of any sort also from what I can tell I may need samsung drivers and Odin I have no idea which I need or where to acquire the correct files...
please help

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.

Hello, there. (yes, I'm new here). So...
A few days ago I rooted my phone using CF's method and had installed TWRP. But now, I sorta don't want to be rooted anymore (yeah, yeah. ). But now, I'm confused. How do I;
Get back to stock recovery?
Unroot my device fully?
Any help for a noob on rooting (okay, on rooting a Samsung device; I've done it on an Inspire before :laugh: ) would be awesome!
P.S. I'm still running the stock ROM (as in out-of-the-box I317 with all of the AT&T stuff still installed), just not stock recovery.
I believe the supersu has an unroot option. I know it was mentioned in some of the threads dealing with the apk root method.

Yes check your device status. If all rooted apps are uninstalled your status in settings should say match the picture posted at the end of the thread

The only app that I had installed (other than SuperSU) that required root was Goomanager (and I uninstalled that). SuperSU appeared to have removed itself after running the unroot process. Is it showing modified because I didn't run Triangle Away?
That might bw the reason. If you have stock kernal and stock recovery and stick rom just run teiangle away. You may want to check status after using triangle away and uninstalling triangle away

Just letting you know I think device status needs to be unmodified for you to get updates.

Hello Everyone,
At the begin i search for this question in google and in XDA forum, i don't find direct answer!
How can i remove CWM from samsung not 2 completely?
My advice for everyone have Note 2 Don't root it, you don't need to.
i dont think there's a way to just remove it,
i know you can flash a stock rom using odin and it will remove it
I did it with my S3.
After soft bricking my phone, I installed a rooted stock ICS rom in my phone then again installed Rom manager. CWM was not found. I think you can do it also in your Note 2.
Reroot with CF-Root this will put you back stock recovery.

Is there a easy way to root 4.1.2 and have TWRP installed? I'm trying to get PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 on my device. I downloaded the Note II Toolkit, but the only option was 4.1.1 under ATT, so I wasn't sure if that was safe.

Yes download ExynosAbouse 1.4 APK and install it. Once you run it, it will root your N2 and and install superus. Next go to google play store and download Goomanger and this will install TWRP recovery. That's it.

This is not meant to flame you...only to educate you. Read and follow directions. Its all right there. Flashing a custom recovery is very commonplace in the world of modding. Each device will have their own methods and instructions posted in their respective subforums. Reading is your friend...
