Mind at least telling us what the heck you did before this happened?
It would REALLY help us in diagonising your problem, you know.

heh i suppose it would wouldnt it!
I installed the battery icon mod..

How did you try odin? I think that should have done the job.

any chance you can explain how to use it, i got it recognise the phone but thats it!
i put phone into download mode, could you explain how i can fix with it?
thanks,
madkid21

Have you downloaded an official ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

not yet, im not sure where to get it from! lol
i only had the phone like a month or 2, and i broke it but got it replaced under the warrenty lol
so where can i get a offical rom from?

There are lot of ROMs on samfirmware.com and guides on how to flash them. You need an account though.
Have you even flashed a ROM before?

i have flashed rom on a HTC Hero before, which was my old phone, but not on this phone, dunno how different its gonna be!

Check samfirmware.com, it will help you (a lot).

thanks muchly, i will check back soon when i have attempted to flash it!
madkid21

BTW, you could also check Doc's ROM if you want to use custom rom. I personally use it and its great. It has also some good guides compiled on the first post. I strongly suggest you read the Doc-Froyo.pdf guide in that thread.
Good luck!

A selfish question...

Now that we have root...how long till we can get a new rom on there?
Never happy...

We need clockworkmod recovery first to even flash a rom. Probably looking at another week or two for the first rom.

As soon as we get a custom recovery, I'm going to try at ROM developing. I wanted to on my Eris for a while, but I never got around to it (I actually did develop one, but never released it and it wasn't incredibly good, so I stopped using it myself after about a day >_>), and this phone seems like a good one to start on.

It's not necesary. You can make and install ROMs without CWM, you just cant make it idiot proof like CWM .zips are

Updating P7310XWKJ5 with USA's ICS

Hi guys,
Just posting to say that yesterday I flashed the ICS from the USA on my P7310XWKJ5 (Europe).
All I needed to do was follow this great instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582943
The file to flash, by Odin, is this one:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/169458139/5cca4ab/P7310UELPB_P7310XARLPB_XAR.zip.html
Guys... there is no need to worry. This is an official update from Sammy so if you have the Honeycomb stock there will be no problem at all.
I believe that Europe didn't receive the update only to avoid everyone in the world updating at the same time.
ICS with Touchwiz is simply great. The tablet is now much smoother and faster. ICS is much better then HC.
The only thing that you will lose in the update is the config of your 5 homes. Besides that, all your apps will be ok and your saved data.
Don't wait anymore... flashing Odin style and enjoy the best Samsung as to offer.
At least I did...
Cheers! Coragem com isso!
P.S: make sure you have the samsung drivers on your pc... to test it just install Kies and connect your tablet. If Kies recognizes your tablet then you are good to go.
BTW: no need to thank... I didn't do anything... I just pressed my balls against one another (crossed my fingers) and did the update. Thanks for your help almaalma74.

YESSS thanks so much, got it and its working, from Cambridge United Kingdom. Very happy again with my tab 8.9

does this increase the binary counter?
as I got the tab about 2 months ago, and don't want to lose the warranty as of now
I have GT-P7300 international version

Hi prince,
You must wait for the firmware of your model, the 7300.
You must have a little more patience.
This firmware is for the wifi version only.

Has anyone else tried this method? I am tired of waiting here in Spain for the ICS update, and with Sammy's background there is a low probability of receiving it in the short-term. Which are the implications of install the USA version? Will I be able to use OTA for update the tablet in the future? Its better to install via CWM? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

LOL, just gave you a free "thanks" - clicked wrong button.
Anyway, lots of people have done that - well, at least the update using the USA ICS, of course they were coming from a variety of ROM (not only that xwkj5)
Anyway, there's no reason it shouldn't work. A few people (strangely, mostly from Switzerland) had an issue, that the ICS failed to work properly (garbled screen) and found they had to Odin-flash a specific HC 3.2 version, and only then it worked. But that's a minority, and the solution is simple.
future OTA - if you load this ROM, you will get future OTA distributed to the "USA" market. (until you flash another region's ROM)
What to install... if you want to make sure to have the original ICS experience from Samsung (with nothing removed or added), I would recommend to use the stock file for Odin. If you want, you can follow that up with an Odin-flashable recovery & a root.zip flashed from recovery.
see e.g.
for download Odin-flashable recovery (I still prefer the slightly older 5.1.2.6 - for a more complete and logical menu than 5.5.0.4; and more reliable than 6.x)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30839339&postcount=52
for root package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30837767&postcount=47

Thanks guys for the help. With the fingers crossed today I flashed the usa version via Odin. Simple procedure and very happy with the update. It preserved everything just like a normal update. So long any bugs, huge improvement of perfomance, certainly a new experience. I will try to root it in the nexts days when I have time. Thanks to everyone except Sammy

I updated my P7300 with this image and it works great, except for the obvious loss of 3G.
If you don't have a current requirement for 3G then I can definitely recommend the update.
I used the rooted modded version, btw, with some apps removed. See the development forum.

Updated my UK GT-P7310 yesterday via Odin. Man what a difference! It just feels so much smoother and quicker. Even the boot time seems to have shortened, although I may just be imagining that. No apps lost, no data lost. Absolutely perfect.

I updated my UK GT-P3710 with US Stock ICS via ODIN. Initially smooth and good update. I have had 3 freezes while updating Titanium Backup Pro around 100+ apps. I ended up restoring apps individually with no freezes. I also noticed some brief pauses while playing Airline Control which I have noticed in the past with ICS Custom roms.
I flashed CMW5.5.04 and then used original root from recovery to gain root. No problems. Camera is working great.
I am now trying to flash A1 kernel ver 1.7 wifi to see if I can overclock. FAIL so I restored original boot.img. Overclock might have to wait.
I am liking ICS so much I might get a Galaxy S3 now with rumours of JB update coming.

I just flashed it using ODIN on my 7300... it works without any problem (but without 3G of course).
Just for info: Flashing using ODIN replaces the recovery as well.... so afterwards you will have to re-flash (again using ODIN) a custom recovery in order to continue playing...

AOCP 2.1 ICS Rom

I take no credit for this just thought it would be helpful to stimulate some development for the T mobile Galaxy note.
Id like to thank the DEV's over at AOCP for allowing me to do this write up and use of cross links. they are found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773229 as well as tomin.fhl for some insite as well as files he is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837907
Again i am not a DEV and just wanted to do a write up to show it is possible.
What you will need
*ATT Galaxy Note SGH-I717 TWRP http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/96
*AOCP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773229
* TMobile Modem https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3sO3MvY67FK1gR
* ICS Gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
INSTRUCTONS:
1) Install the ATT version of TWRP to your tmobile note. Follow the instructions in the link to install.
2) Create a back up of your current rom which utilizes Tmobiles BOOT.IMG (Note without this back up you will have to get into Download mode and flash boot.img through odin. The file for this is here https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3sKTF2WTt5njq0 thanks to tomin.fhl for the link.
3) Place files on phone ROM,Gapps,TMobile modem on sd card ( internal sd perferred)
4) Clear everything system, factory reset, cache (note dont clear sd card or you will lose files on your *SD YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*
5) Flash AOCP 2.1 which is the Icecream Sandwhich build *NOT THE JELLYBEAN BUILD* after flash is finished return to home menu of TWRP
6) From TWRP menu select restore and select the rom with the tmobile boot.img ( now when asked to restore make sure that the only box checked is the BOOT box( if you restore completely you will end up with the ROM you backed up origanlly.
7) Once the boot.img is restored, flash the tmobile modem/radio this will allow you to use data ect. on the rom.
8) Flash the ICS Gapps to allow access to android market
9) Now reboot phone. (note: there is no boot animation. instead there will be just a black screen. Dont freak out and have patience and the Rom will boot up.
CONCLUSION:
what you end up with is a very stable barebones version of stock android ICS with no bloat
*Known Issues*
External Sd is not found for some reason

Good job.

No problem I would love to build from scratch simply don't have the coding knowledge. That's what's great about Android someone with little experience can try to do something and learn so much in the process. Again the original devs at AOCP are the ones who deserve all credit and even donations maybe we can convince some devs to port to our notes and really get the ball rolling

Never say never.
In open source android so many times I've seen "won't never happen"
But then of dose.
Where there is a will there's a way.
If some one had asked last week could they get AoCP T-Mobile note. I would have replyed "I don't have that device so I don't intend on building for it, and have no time to do a blind port" and then it would have been stated "the devs said they got no plans to make it happen ever"
But look at this here.

I think most ICS ROMs will work, just remember to flash the T-Mobile kernel (the boot.img, also, the T-Mo radio files if the ROM includes AT&T radio) over the top or else it won't boot.

been using this rom since it was posted yesterday. so far no problems at all.
super fast and sexy. no bloat.
only thing missing of course is WIFI-CALLING but that's to be expected since it's an ATT rom.
only other thing is TMO visual voice mail which can be had from the market anyways.
excellent slimmed down rom, thanks again for posting this! :victory:

Forgot to mention that the response time is incredible. I use my phablet with Sketchbook mobile and Sketchbook pro and Sketchbook mobile is blazing. Sketchbook pro is a little slow but that's probably a hwa issue. I use that one mainly on my regular sized tablet.
Loving it.

[Q] Reduced S-Pen writing and reading capabilities

After buying N7000, I was able to write with the S-Pen everything including punctuation marks and symbols like @, etc. I could also zoom text on the browser, changed to landscape position and the text would re-wrap to fit in the screen. This last thing disappeared after the next updates.
After the very last update of Android (weeks after ICS) IMM76D.XXLRT, I no longer could write punctuation marks at all. I now need to resort to the keyboard every time I need a dot or a comma. Google Voice does no longer recognise the commands for the punctuation. So I wonder how could I get all these remarkable features back without buying the new N710x? Or is there a way to revert to the first ICS update we had for Note I?
If Samsung does not release adaptations of TouchWiz to every new Android version I fear nobody is going to buy a Note 3.
