Goodies!!!! [ROOT | STOCK | MODEM | RECOVERY | GUIDES]

Greetings folks. Been playing with my T-Mobile Galaxy Note for about a week and thought I would put together a little basket of goodies and quick starts to make the transition a little easier for the rest of us. I will keep this short and sweet. Follow up rooting guides posted in post 2. If these help, don't forget to hit the thanks button and/or donate. For anything that's not my work, I'll post/clean up the sources/credits/references tonight. Also, I am testing out a new online storage facility, so mirror these as soon as you can since I might have to bring it down in a month or so. If you need anything that's not here, just ask.
Disclaimer:
1. This post is intended for the T879 only. Some tweaks are necessary to get a full port of the build/baseband from the T-mobile Note to the AT&T Note. Stay tuned.
2. As is common knowledge, you use of any of these files/guides at your own risk and I am not responsible for any damages your may incur in doing so.
1. T-Mobile Note Goodies
a. T879-PRE-ROOTED STOCK SYSTEM IMAGE UVLG3 BUILD - WILL NOT TRIP FLASH COUNTER. https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3s7FNMjsmCGLMW​i. This is the latest build from the OTA update. It has been pre-rooted with the Super user, su, and busybox 1.21 installed. Flash this through ODIN. It will not increase your flash counter. Thanks to roloracer for doing for the i717 first and letting me know this was possible!​
b. T879-STOCK RECOVERY IMAGE - https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3sx0g1iX7W331U​i. This is the stock T-Mobile recovery for the T879. If you rooted using rotohammer's UVLF5 nandroid backup then you are likely stock with the UVLF5 build and cannot get the OTA update to complete because you don't have the stock T-Mobile recovery. Flash this recovery to revert to stock recovery, then the OTA update will complete without aborting and bring you to the UVLG3 build/baseband combo.​ii. After you complete the OTA update, flash the pre-rooted system image in 1.b. above for easy root.​iii. N.B. If you used Android Revolution's nandroid backup and you already have the UVLG3 build but not the UVLG3 baseband, the OTA update will not initiate because it thinks your phone is already completely updated. Flash the radio below to get the updated baseband to match the UVLG3 build. Speeds are best for me with the matching build/baseband.​c. T879-UVLG3 Modem - https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3sO3MvY67FK1gR | I717-UVLG3 Modem - https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3sZxbRD5plbMWB​i. This is the latest modem from the OTA update. Flash through CWM.​d. T879-STOCK BOOT IMAGE - https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3sKTF2WTt5njq0​i. Most useful for folks trying to get AT&T Galaxy Note roms to boot on the T879. Flash this in ODIN. I managed to get DAGr8's AOKP CM9 rom to boot and it was functional except for mounting external_sd so some tweaks are needed. May post a guide on what I did.​e. T879-FLASH COUNTER RESET - https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3sifFwMg3wmcKR​i. If you flashed CWM through ODIN you tripped the flash counter. Use this to reset it to zero. Thanks to braway for this for the i717.​f. CWM TOUCH RECOVERY - https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3sFurRZpksbs6k | ODIN FLASHABLE CWM TOUCH RECOVERY https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3sYujqhSWDjt5I​ i. Self explanatory. If you don't care about the flash counter, or you are going to reset it, flash this through ODIN to get up CWM recovery up and running.​g. Super User CWM - https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/3sRc8Cz8TcpOLC​ i. Self explanatory. If you don't care about the flash counter, or you are going to reset it, flash this through CWM recovery to get root.​

Rooting Guides
General Guides
How to get T-Mobile 879 Galaxy Note into download mode
To get the T-Mobile phone into download mode it MUST be connected via usb to your computer first. Then hold volume button up and down while turning the phone on. When the warning prompt come up, press the volume up button.
Rooting guides.
If you're like most people and couldn't care less about tripping the flash counter (especially since you can reverse it) rooting is easy.
1. Apply the OTA update
2. Download the odin flashable CWM touch recovery in bullet item f. in post 1.
3. Flash that through ODIN
4. Download the super user zip in bulllet point g. of post 1 and flash through CWM. You should now be rooted. Alternatively, download a rooted custom rom - karryt has a UVLG3 build posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838067. I think that rom is rooted. If not just apply the super user zip after installing that rom.
5. If you did not complete the OTA update as stated in 1. before flashing CWM or a custom rom, download the modem in bullet point c. in post 1.
6. Now, download the flash counter reset in e. in post 1 and flash through CWM to reset your flash counter.
7. That's it. You should be cooking. When more roms pop up, you will have your phone in CWM all the time flashing roms and missing calls like a player.
8. Thank rotohammer, Android Revolution, karryt, and easyguy for getting the ball rolling doing all this and posting about it. Thank braway for flash counter reset. Thank me too ( it's just a button ).
If you have an unrooted t-mobile note and you want root without tripping the counter:
1. Apply the OTA update now when you still have the stock recovery.
Do that first. If you wait until after flashing CWM you won't be able to get OTA and will have to use another method (easy enough) to update your phone
2. After your OTA update successfully completes, download the pre-rooted stock image to your computer
3. Flash that image in odin. To do that:
i. Put your phone in download mode.
ii. Click the PDA button and select the tar ball you downloaded
iii. Make certain only "Auto-reboot" and "F. Reset time" are selected
iv. Click start
4. Let the phone reboot
5. Now you should be rooted but WAIT. You cannot use any custom roms just yet. now you need CWM.
6. If you want CWM but are paranoid about tripping the flash counter:
i. Download rom manager from market and use rom manager to flash CWM - Select the version for the i717 if a T879 is not yet available
ii. Now you have CWM and can create your nandroid backups and get started flashing custom roms.
iii. If you prefer CWM Touch, download if from the list in post 1 (fourth in the list) and flash it through CWM.
7. Thank rololancer for showing us i717 folks this was possible. Thank me too
Running T-Mobile T879 Stock rom and radio on the i717
*EDIT: Had to change these instructions a bit
1. Download the pre-rooted image (first in the list above)
2. Download the odin flashable boot.img
3. Put your phone in download mode
4. Start odin.
5. Flash the pre-rooted image
6. Your phone will reboot - keep holding the volume down button so you get back into download mode
7. If you miss download mode, the phone will try to boot but you will end up at a blank screen
7. Turn off the phone, remove the battery, reinsert the batter and power on the phone while holding the volume down button. This will get you back into download mode.
8. Now that you are back in download mode, start odin
9. Start odin
10. Flash the odin flashable boot image from post 1
11. Lastly reboot into CWM and flash the radio for the i717 from here this brew in CWM.
12. That's it.
13. No promises on improvements especially upload speeds. Like I said on jeet's thread ... "Not much of a speed improvement though. The T-mobile Note gives me 10-16Mb down and .8-1.2 Mb up. Best I have gotten with the modem on the I717 is 6.7Mbs down and .4 Mbs up and that is with a fully stock T-Mobile rom running on the AT&T note so the T-mobile lib files are being used. When I flashed the radio on an AT&T i717 rom - AOKP CM9, so lib files built for the i717 were being used, the results were about the same. So, the radio/rom themselves don't present that much of an improvement, but the complete T-Mobile Note definitely gave me more love in the speed department. Still funny though that I cannot get past 1.2Mbs on uploads. Anyhow, seems unless someone is able to edit the amss.bin without breaking the signature, that's the best we can get out of the i717 for now."
EDIT: Got 10Mbs and 8 Mbs down on this modem consecutively, then 3Mbs down. Uploads still 500kps. Then another 9Mbs, so teh modem seems capable of pulling high speeds, just not as consistently as the T879. On the T879 I can hit 9Mpbs and above consistently. Uploads vary between 800kbs and 1.2Mbs.
EDIT2: Last edit. Downloads are more consistently in the 8Mbs - 10Mbs range now with some 3-4Mbs in there.Attached are two speed test screen shots to give you an idea.
Booting I717 AT&T Galaxy Note Roms s
Ok, I have only tried this with DAGr8's AOKP CM9. It boots and is useable but there is an issue with mounting the external sdcard which I was working on but ran out of time. Anyhow, these are the steps to get it booted.
1. Get the rom flashable zip
2. Get CWM specifically for the I717. This will save you a lot of trouble because most devs use assert checks to verify the you're installing the rom on the "correct" device (in this case the i717 not the T879. Safety first, but it can be a pain. I don't think I have that file on the server so do a quick search on the I717 forum for the quincy-att cwm.
3. Flash the rom in CWM
4. Flash the T-mobile boot.img in odin. Alternatively, restore your boot.img from CWM from a T879 backup.
5. Reboot. Don't be alarmed if there is no boot logo (AOKP unicorn). So long as the second Samsung logo pops up at some state ... the one that glows, the rom will continue to boot and you should soon be greeted by the home screen.

you are the man tomin!

can it be posible to have a custom rom with togles , i have a hard time going to recovery on tmobile note , i have i717

Update! flash on my i717m and its turned into a slow phone lol! well maybe I will just give the modem a try and see if that fixes it
thank you very much!
downloading now and will give it a go!

please excuse my ignorance. Can i flash this on my rooted and sim unlocked ATT note i1717?
I am on tmobile using att note.

So i have a tmobile note.......and as far as flashing the stock recovery image how would i flash..... do i flash through odin? Because odin wont recognize unless its in tar form or do i just send it to a zip file and flash through cwm?

Wrong reply. OK, I went ahead and gave it a shot on my i717 and it ran pretty smoothly after giving the T-mobile bloatware a chance to settle down. Check post 2 for what I did.

Yes, you would flash it through odin. It's only for people who don't want to trip the flash counter. Look at the rooting guides in post 2 and decide which method is best for you. Most people will opt for the nice and easy method in the first guide.

Im on a rooted att note.... What would be the recommended way?
I also dont know what flash counter or tripping flash counter is lol

The flash counter tells warranty people if the phone was flashed to non stock roms or other software and modifications via odin. So it can sometimes void your warranty if they(warranty people) are on top of things and do their job.
Braway came up with a program to reset it to look like it was not tampered with. So if you have problems, it can be returned or warrantied without the "I wonder if they will honor this since I modded my phone?" type of guilty questions to self!
@ tomin- you have been verry busy!! Great thread. Thank you. I am looking forward to ?maybe? getting the ATT version to work flawlessly on tmo! I am thinking positive here!:fingers-crossed:

I should have also added flashing stuff via CWM does not bump up your flash counter. Putting CWM on your phone via Odin does bump it.

It's up. Third guide in post 2. Gotta say, even with a fully stock T-Mobile image and radio (expect for the amss.bin needed to prevent lagging) the results are still not as great as the T-Mobile Note. The speeds are consistently 5-6Mbs down and .4-.5Mbs up. So uploads, which was the only real problem I suffered on the i717 are still paltry.

so we have to flash the radio in the new thread for att users not the one previously posted on the thread?
I guess if we cant get passed 1mb uploads ill stick to the ROM and ICS Blaze radio till someone makes a big improvement.
Im currently getting 4mb download and .4 - 1mb Upload with ICS Blaze

HELP --- Note 5 --- SM-N920P --- 3.10.95-SkyHigh_TW_v3.9 UpInTheAir#1

I Rooted awhile back and I am searching the forums to find information on how to update my current 5.1.1 to Marshmallow....
Should I simply flash a new rom with ODIN? Or I need a new Kernel? I'm trying to be overly cautious. Where do I find the new Kernel or Rom? I went to the SkyHigh page that I rooted from originally but it looks like he has not updated since 5.1.1.
Any help is appreciated??
Thanks,
KJ

Hi, go a head and download a Marshmallow Firmware from here:
Firmware for sm-n920p
use this tool to download faster:
SamFirm - Samsung firmware downloader
flash via odin and then search for a custom kernel. I used SkyHigh kernel for marshmallow but he isn't building kernels anymore and took all of his links down (Not in XDA) so I guess you are out of luck. But there are other custom kernels you can try.
I believe you would have better results if you search in Sprint Section (If I'm not mistaking N920P is the Sprint variant)

Go to ndroid.site , search that in google. there u can find latest skyhigh kernel

Here's the sprint firmware. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545065934258585 You'll lose everything so backup any pictures, music, etc.
That'll get you up to date on MM. Then I'd sign into your google/samsung accounts so you can get onto the phone and take the system OTA to the latest. Then used odin to flash TWRP, twrp-3.0.2-0-M-nobleltespr.tar. Don't let it auto reboot. Rather once flashed manually boot into recovery. If you let it reboot automatically the phone will overwrite TWRP with stock. Once you boot in recovery flash SuperSU, BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328. Then you have stock MM rooted on latest. That's what I'm running along with systemless xposed.
Though there's also the latest MOAR Rom that has a lot of options you can flash in TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...m-moar-pc3-mm-rom-v3-0-making-smoars-t3364338

SM 920G Issue

Hey guys I bought a brand new note 5 from Rent a center. paid it in full i own it, and i noticed that i can root and flash this device. This is my second note...the other i had was a verizon note 3. But upon reading all over the web. I noticed that the one i have is the international version of this device and it has twrp and custom roms and kernels. Well I am not new to all this but I know that I need to activate developer options you have to tap on the build number like 7 times. Well On this device it wont let me tap on it. Nothing happens when I do. Is there a way to activate it or unlock it so I can get flashing? Its odd I am tried factory reset and still nothing. I had the idea of flashing the stock software but couldnt find the north american version or something. Sorry its been a while since i had a samsung since the note 3.

You can't flash North American firmware on international version. Go on samfirmware website and download the right version for your phone. Flash it with Odin and you should be OK. After that you can root and flash twrp again with no problem.

ok I will do that but the question i am worried about is. the device i have came with the box that said north america sim only..that going to be an issue?
Update: How can i flash the correct firmware with odin if I cant access the developer options? it wont let me tap on the build number? Do you need developer options enabled to use odin.

You don't need usb debuting enabled to flash stock firmware with odin. Just put the phone in downloading mode and use Odin. But be careful which firmware you're gonna use. Download the firmware for your model number from samfirmware site. About sim card it's all about activation. It has nothing to do with the firmware.

AT&T Note 3 (USA) - Emergency Call Only

Hi Everyone,
I am kind of lost in the upgrade process.
6 months ago, my Samsung Note 3 (USA AT&T) phone was working perfectly fine, but just with OLD firmware. ,then due to urge on upgrading, i searched so many sites and found a link somewhere on droidviews.com (as my firmware was NJ1 or something, website said i need to upgrade to NC2, and then to OC1), this process messed up my phone call receiving & making capabilities.
Most of the time callers see me unreachable and I am unable to call them as i get "emergency calls only"....I still don't have a way out from this issue. Some places I read i need to install right CSC / modem etc, I even tried this thread by reflashing using ODIN & N900AUCUEOC1_N900AATTEOC1_N900AUCUEOC1_HOME.tar. Even after this, i still have calls related issues same as above.
Can someone guide me to right direct (or) did i totally messed up with this? BTW, i am now in INDIA, using Airtel services...

I believe nj1 firmware is newer than nc2.
The Odin files came from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/100-stock-lollipop-5-0-n900aucueoc1-t3069609 ?

Thanks. I tried flashing to OC1, still same problem. my calls are mostly not working. Is there a way i can go back to original 4.3 stock rom that came with Note3 AT&T? or is there a way i can get current AT&T rom (latest) to try with?
Good part is, i can go between 4.4.3 and 5.0 as i have original stock roms downloaded. But bad part is, my calls still failing...
appreciate any clue/help.

Where did you get the stock ROM? AT&T never released full firmware for the 900a.
There is no way to go back fully to 4.3 since the phone bootloader can be downgraded to 4.3.

Hi, i downloaded NC2 & OC1 stock firmwares from XDA only. they are loading up fine (using ODIN). But my calling problem remains same.
So, Yesterday, i tried rooting the phone and installed AllianceROM. then i went into series of issues like "unfortunately NFC has stopped", "unfortunately settings has stopped" etc... then followed the instruction to wipe/factory reset, 3 to 4 times and disabled NFC services etc. As of now, phone works fine, but still need to check the calling function for a week...
thanks for your time.

Are we SOL with 900a? I was in the wrong forum earlier and was ready to use update to 7...until I realized it wasn't for me.
Dying on Lollipop (where I landed after the 7 fallout)

I re-read my post and noticed that I made an error: the bootloader on an n900a CANNOT be downgraded.
You cannot flash any ROM to the phone using TWRP, you must use flashfire. Only ROMs based on the stock Samsung ROM can be flashed to the n900a.

HELP needed (can't flash stock rom)

Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920G I need some help here. After a long time using custom roms, recently I've tried to flash a stock rom to my device (it was an Indian nougat rom from sammobile) and I got an error on Odin when flashing system. After that I lost my recovery (TWRP) an my Note 5 went only in download mode. Then a I flashed TWRP again and installed a custom rom again. Now I'm trying to flash any stock rom and I am getting random errors like "device 1 binary 0". I've tried many different roms and 0 luck. Someone could help me here? I never have this problem before and I just don't know more what to do.

Peace..
I'm having the same exact problem--I found firmware that only flashed to radio--then abruptly stopped--wiping my system, so i'm stuck in download mode, phone will not power off. Instead of flashing Nougat ROM, i opted to flash "stock" MM firmware (6.01) and let phone update to Nougat on its on---then re-root it. As of now I have a paper-weight and it appears there's no support for 920G

Have you all tried Smart Switch?

It's because you flashed Nougat and that's Android 7.0 and it now thinks you're trying to "downgrade", which is pretty much blocked by trying to use "stock" roms.. The only thing you could probably do is find the stock rom you're interested in flashing but make sure it can be flashed via TWRP.. I don't think you can use Odin now to flash backwards "downgrade" to another stock rom after flashing Nougat 7.0..

Well I figured out you can downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow but that's only to a specific firmware version. Depending upon what bootloader has been flashed (meaning if you flashed Nougat bootloader you can only go back to Marshmallow with the same bootloader level).. But this is only working (surprisingly) on the locked bootloaders of Verizon and AT&T.. The other S6 Edge Plus I have with an unlocked bootloader and tripped knox that I recently acquired will not accept nothing stock which is unusual, but I'm still working on that one.
