I really am tired of reading how Sprint, T-Mobile and International Note 2s have gotten their stock firmware available for download. Is there ANY way someone here can link me to or give me the stock unrooted firmware for AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317M ? I really want to Unroot my phone. I rooted it a couple of days ago using the Saurom ROM to get the multi-view on my phone. I used CWM recovery and Odin to make a backup of my phone's img prior to installing Saudom ROM. That means that the img of my phone that I backed up is the rooted version right?
Please help. I don't quite like the way my phone works while rooted. This is scary territory and I just want to go back to the way it was when I bought it I'll just wait for the ligit update from AT&T that will be coming hopefully later this month. So if anyone can provide me with the unrooted stock AT&T Note 2 Firmware, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
And I'm a noob so talk slowly

It took a few weeks after device release before Official tar got dropped on other carriers .
The same will be the case for ATT version.
The good news for Sprint etc they had developers capable of turning system dump into tar a couple days after device release.
Unfortunately are development isn't up to such task so were sol.
On a positive note - no pun intended.

Hey Guys
I was using a rooted Note II having 4.1.2 then i decided to run a custom rom which was having Android 4.4.4 and it worked perfectly then i decided to change to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (4.4.2) offical firmware and installed that using the sammobile uk version and using odin.
When it was installed i couldnt call nor i could send any messages but the mobile is detecting the Sim Card but having no signals on it, It is detecting the numbers of the sim and also the 3g Internet is working.
I saw on many threads people were complaining regarding no IMEI but my IMEI i think is the correct one, I have attached the screens of the status below.
Thanks

You've probably flashed incorrect rom.
But since you haven't bothered leaving relevant info like what model your phone is and specifically which rom file you flashed nobody can be sure.

I downloaded the original one from the sammobile sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=32635 and installed it via odin and IMEI i think is correct and it didnt show signals so i rooted it but it still didnt work, Then getting pissed off i installed clockworkmod on it that is compatible on my device and then i rooted again with a custom rom but now it wont work on the custom rom too. In other words it down grading it from an upgraded custom rom to the original rom messed up some files and now i cant call nor message anyone

"galaxy note 2" is not model number, Its name of phone. Model numbers for Note 2 are n7100 or n7105 for example. There are also multiple UK roms.
Since I can not reply to the genius post - "[REF] Your One-Stop Shop for the Note II (Kernels, Roms, Guides, Modems, Etc.)",

I will post here, in case some one needs it
Rogers Note 2 ~ SGH-I317M ~ Android: 4.1.2 ~ ROM: I317MVLBMA3
===============================
I rooted my Note years ago using CFRoot.
To flash ROM, please follow the youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVrhNO__9JY
using all the files from thread: 1987541
files you might need: Kies 2 + ODIN3.07 + TWRP + ROM zip files
///////////////////////////////////////
Tricky thing: the latest TWRP from Google Play won't work on my phone,
so I used ODIN 3.07 to install open recovery TWRP , also used an old version of TWRP 2.7.1.0 ,
download this file - > twrp-2.7.1.0-t0ltecan.img.tar 7.5M
from link:
https://dl.twrp.me/t0ltecan/
After successfully installed TWRP, things will be easier, follow the video using Rogers Modem/Radios zip files
to flash ROM downgrade to: I317MVLALJ2
///////////////////////
You also need to install Kies from Samsung to make ODIN work, which is mentioned in the original thread.
If you use a PC, make sure you use USB com port on the back, not the front ones.
Would it not be easier just to flash stock 4.1.1 from sammobile.com using Odin if the phone is running stock 4.1.2? After unlocking, odin can be used to flash to the latest 4.4.2 or, since the phone is on stock 4.1.1, ota updates would work too but takes a lot longer to get to the latest rom.
I had a i317m on Koodo with stock 4.4.2. I recall flashing stock 4.1.1 which tripped Knox but allowed me to unlock the phone for free. This was about a year ago.
4.1.1 MODEM
Old thread I know but I am not having any luck finding the 4.1.1 modem (Rogers?) for the note 2 SGH-I317M .Updato doesnt have it ,nor sammobile, anything else I came across was very slow downloading and never finishes or were links that lead to unrelated sites. I want to unlock it for free if at all possible but finding this modem is proving to be impossible.If anyone knows where I can download or anyone can provide it that would be great.
Doesn't matter whether the modem comes from the stock Rogers, Bell or Telus ROM on sammobile.com. You need the LJ2: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note-/SGH-I317M/BMC/download/I317MVLALJ2/8189/
Now I see why I couldnt find it on sammobile.Only for premium users.I guess forking over 10 bucks to get it unlocked would be a bit cheaper.I suspected any 4.1.1 modem would do but thanks for comfirming that.All this unlocking crap is supposed to come to an end by years end anyhow in Canada.Locking phones will no longer be legal after that here and supposedly any that are locked are supposed to be unlocked for free. Cant wait to see what the carriers will try to pull.
There is no need to pay to download. It's slow, but free. I have a free account and I am able to download.
I feel dumb for asking but how do I download the file. Ive got the free subscription but it still says that its only available for premium?
Are you trying to downgrade an sgh-i317m from Rogers, Telus, or Bell?
LJ2 modem is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67958065&postcount=8
There is no free download for the LJ2 ROM.
No I was trying to downgrade from AT&T 4.4.2 to unlock my SIM but soft bricked it.
Ohhhh man Im so freekin happy. I finaly got my hands on the 4.4.2 file and got it back to its original state.
I still dont have sim access. Any ideas on how to do that via a root maybe?
What do you mean by sim access? Do you mean the phone doesn't recognise any sim card when inserted?
Companies in the US lock their phones to use only their SIMs. When I boot the phone, there is a prompt to give a code to use my local SIM here.
Oh, you mean the phone is asking for the network unlock code to use a non-usa sim? If yes, you will have to either request and unlock code from the original carrier or buy an unlock code.
This thread is about the sgh-i317m which can be unlocked using software. If the phone is an sgh-i317 and it is not running 4.1.1, you'll have to unlock using a code.
Hey,
Still a bit of a noob to the whole rooting process and navigating XDA forums, so I'm having trouble finding the information *I think* I should be looking for. Basically, my phone's just begun crashing periodically, multiple times a day: anything from Camera, Process System, Touchwiz Home Launcher, or Samsung Apps have "stopped working" / "not responding" before. Of course, my phone's warranty has expired, but my contract isn't up so an AT&T Store wont re-image it for me :crying:
Even I can tell, at this point, that it's either my OS that's failing, or it's my hardware. I figured the easiest way to test this would be to put some stable CyanogenMod on it.
The information I'm looking for is: "is this possible?"
AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4
SM N910A UCU2DOI2
Currently @ 5.1.1
Thanks for reading,
~Vita.
No it is NOT possible to use any form of custom firmware or to root this device. It has a locked bootloader that has yet to be cracked open and the future of that happening os very bleak to non existant.
As for reimaging the device go to the note 4 at&t general section on the forum and read up on using odin and the 5.1.1 image posted there it will wipe the phone and format yhe system and data partitions and reinstall it like a new phone just like at&t would do or the manufacturer if you sent it to them.
Good luck
Thanks for the response.
Sorry for the dumb question, but isn't Odin able to flash any firmware onto a device? The "locked bootloader" means that only the stock OS may be reinstalled? Why is this...
Also, it seems unlock progress is being made on the N910V. Maybe hope?
Thanks for mentioning Odin, I'll try re-imaging the phone.

Well the problem is the kernel the bootloader prevents the devs from using an unsecure kernel (one not created and signed by at&t) on the phone if one is used the phone stops boot and says it is an unsecure non at&t kernel and to take thenphone to at&t store.
Odin can only write the firmware versiom that is currently on this phone in this case it is 5.1.1 if you flash any other note 4 versoin such as 4.2.2 it will brick.
Sm-910a flash example
Update ver Official at&t 5.1.1 / currently on phone 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 = good
Update ver (downgrade)oficcial at&t 4.2.2 / currently on phone 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 = brick not good or odin fail
Update from another carrier such as tmobile or verizon for 910t 910v 910g = fail (do not attempt)
Until oir boot loader is unlocked there is nothing we can do to mod or use custom firmware on this phone any attempt leads to a brick requiring using odin to re-flash the latest firmware (5.1.1 at this time) in order to make the phone functional again.

So from what I understand, I could use Odin to flash the 4 files which correspond to the specific AT&T 5.1.1 SM-901A version of my phone (which is exactly what I have) to re-image the device and make it functional again. The problem is, I cannot find these devices on sammobile D:
Could someone direct me to these files? Or are they not out because AT&T sucks? Or, what.

I think so, I don't know for sure but we've been able to Odin from various 5.0 Lollipop releases back to KitKat so should be fine.
downgrading from 5.1.1 or 5.0.1 to kitkat is possible but with many many problem but form 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 i don't know maybe phone will stuck or boot loop
thanks finitetime for your reply

I am sure that you are referring to a sim unlock. A sim unlock and unlocked bootloader are two completely different entities. To flash a custom rom you will need to have your bootloader unlocked, which is something that a few of us are currently working on. Until then, no custom roms can be flashed on the att variant Note 4s. Take care
the boot loader says Qualcom secure boot : disabled ?
in the boot loader screen ?

Your phone is SIM UNLOCKED which has NOTHING to do with root, bootloader, or custom roms.

Sorry, was off the forum for the weekend. Spexwood was correct, that is sim unlock. Qualcom is for the sim IE network. Take care.
Root is possible btw
Root is possible if youre willing to dedicate 10-30 hours of repititive root fails
How?

Hello guys,
For some reason, my phone shows that my SIM is locked ( I was on RR 6.0). I need to flash the 4.1.1 firmware for Koodo to unlock the SIM.
Can anyone send me a link for this firmware?
Thank you!
You don't need Koodo to unlock the sim. Just flash the stock LJ2 firmware with Odin and use the dialler menu to permanently network unlock the phone.

Maybe this will work: http://rapidgator.net/file/0207e341...yos.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-stock-firmware/
I know it's been a long time, but did this procedure actually WORK? AFAIK, Koodo Note 2s never came with less than KitKat, and we all know that Samsung has blocked downgrading though its bootloader starting then.
The reason I ask is I'm looking for a spare phone for mine as a backup and can't seem to find one on which I can load my Jellybean 4.1.2 CM based phone image.
Well this an interesting post, I have a similar problem, I have 2 exact Note 2 phones one with custom firmware (4.1.1) one without, I would like to copy/clone the stock firmware to my other (as I somehow managed to delete the stock firmware on it)
Now I have made a backup with TWRP and copied it to the other phone but TWRP refuses to install it, it tries to install and gets most of the way but at the very end I get the 255 error "install failed"
Why can't I copy/ install this backup?
Do I need to to use some other recovery software or make a backup some other way.
Thanks

The note 2 sgh-i317m was used by Telus, Rogers, and Bell.
This downgrade method works. I've used it to network unlock four note 2 models.
The stock 4.1.1 firmware from sammobile.com did not contain a bootloader file which allowed me to flash it using Odin on a phone running a stock 4.4.2 rom.

Man, if this really works it's going to solve all my problems. Are you saying you can flash the 4.1.x ROM on top of the the 4.4.2 bootloader (presumably one could deselect the bootloader from the 4.1.x ROM if it was included - sorry I'm quite rusty at this, haven't used Odin in years), so that the phone may be running ICS or JB despite having a 4.4.2 encrypted (locked) bootloader?
The idea is being able to load Clockworkmod recovery and from it, the rooted 4.1.2 backup on my external sd card...
Sorry if it's been asked before and if I may be confused - Thing is, I haven't done this type of tweaking in 5 years
I could flash a stock 4.1.1 ROM from sammobile.com on top of a stock 4.4.2 ROM because the stock 4.1.1 ROM didn't contain a bootloader. I did this to use the menu method to network unlock the sgh-i317m; however, the phone cannot stay on a stock 4.1.1 ROM with a 4.4.2 bootloader because the phone cannot connect to a cellular network with this 4.1.1 ROM/4.4.2 bootloader combination. After I unlocked the phone, I either re-flashed a stock 4.4.2 ROM or a new custom ROM.
The bootloader on the Canadian Note 2 was never locked the way it was with some USA carriers.

Are you saying the Koodo/Rogers.... 4.4.2 Note 2 bootloader is NOT locked on our phones, ergo, that I could downgrade to 4.1.1 including its bootloader successfully?! If so I'm set, I could purchase a used one on kijiji and simply reload my old Bell based ROM backup on it I simply look for a way to load my 5 year old Rooted ROM onto a newer version of the phone. I have on it apps that won't run on 4.4.2 that I sorely miss on my tablet (which runs 4.4.4)
The bootloader is not locked which allows for the installation of TWRP and cwm but it cannot be downgraded.

In other words it does allow for installing the 4.1.1 ROM for unlocking the phone, but it can't can't actually be used with the 4.1.1 ROM... What if I simply reinstalled the 4.4.2 modem, wouldn't that work?
I now I'm asking quite a lot - but in my case if I haven't been able to find a used phone that hadn't been at some point 'upgraded' and consequently became shackled (I've been looking for over a year now) in which case I might as well mourn it and move on to a new phone and start the fight for freedom all over again Honestly, I've grown tired of having to fight for the basic right of ownership against the relentless push for slavery that is the general trend in technology, to force people away from freedom of using the software they prefer and force them into a system where they must follow the dictates of corporate giants so perfectly exemplified by the cell phone, computer and browser based service industry.
Like Frederick Douglass famously said "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never had and never will"... In other words if you want freedom and true control, you MUST FIGHT the providers and the manufacturers whose prime interest is to keep you enslaved
Installing the 4.4.2 modem will install but the stock 4.1.1 dialer doesn't work with a 4.4.2 modem and 4.4.2 bootloader from what I recall. It's been a long time since I had a note 2.
