Well it’s time for the latest update to our Galaxy Note and it’s in the form of ICS otherwise known as Ice Cream Sandwich. Warning!!! This is just for the AT&T Note, not the international. You are risking your device and I’m not liable for you flashing this leaked ROM. It’s pretty stable and makes the phone run a lot smoother. Just follow my instructions and you should be good. Make sure you battery is fully charged before we start. The screenshots are pictures of my Samsung Note after this is completed, not process pics. Lets get started :)

1) There are two links for Odin below. You only need to select one. It doesn’t matter which one. Click one and be patient as it downloads.
Windows Only!!
SOURCE 1
SOURCE 2
2) On your computer, go to the .exe that you just downloaded above and run as administrator. Typically you right click and Run as Administrator. Say yes or okay if it prompts you. Odin will open. Now, leave the computer alone. Back to your phone.
3) Time to put your phone in download mode. Turn it off, or power it down completely. Press and hold volume down (on the left) and the power button (on the right) until it turns on. You’ll see a warning message. Don’t worry. Press volume up (on the left) to enter download mode.

4) Now plug in your phone to your computer using your USB cable. Odin should recognize the phone. The indicator is usually a yellow box within Odin.
5) If you see a yellow box or that Odin has detected your phone, CLICK START!
6) Be very patient as it can take some time. Also it will boot up possibly twice and show the Android logo and the AT&T logo. Do not unplug or interrupt this process at all
7) Your phone should boot up if you followed my instructions and you should have ICS or Ice Cream Sandwhich with facial recognition and all the goodies that come with ICS except a few others because this is a leaked version but it’s very stable. Almost everything runs smoothly.
Note: If you get a forced close upon start-up this is normal because this is a leaked unfinished version.
8) Optional! Most importantly if you want to take advantage of ICS I recommend you download the Apex Launcher. It’s highly customizable. I recommend it and I love this launcher!
[How To] Root Galaxy Note i717 model
Beforehand: Make Sure Samsung Kies is install on your computer. If that link is down then just Google it and download and install it on your computer.
1) Time to put your phone in download mode as we did in the above instructions. Turn it off, or power it down completely. Press and hold volume down (on the left) and the power button (on the right) for approximately 10 seconds. You’ll see a warning message. Don’t worry. Press volume up (on the left) to enter download mode.
2) Now plug in your phone to your computer using your USB cable.
3) Download This ZIP file HERE and make sure you unzip it. If you did successfully you should see 4 files. If the previous link doesn’t work please contact me and I’ll find another source.
4) Locate where you unzipped those files and double click odin3 v1.85.exe . In Odin you should see a yellow rectangular box and that means you’re ready.
5) In Odin click the PDA button and find where you unzipped odin_ni717_cwm_recovery_b4.tar. It should be located in the same place as the other files. Hit START!!
6) You should see a PASS or RESET in Odin. Once your phone reboots copy over Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to your SD card. To do this just plug in your phone to the computer, as it may already be, and copy and paste that previous file into the root or somewhere convenient on the Phone or SD card. I picked Phone Storage.
7) Now we need to reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery. This is important. Hold down the Volume Up and Volume Down as well as the power for 10 seconds. When your phone resets (you will feel little vibration and the screen will turn off), now keep holding down the Volume Down and the Power button ONLY. If you didn’t do this correctly, try again.
8) Phone will boot up into CWM Recovery and the text will look blue. Using your volume buttons as navigation, go to Install zip from sdcard. Press the power button to select. Then go to choose zip from Internal sdcard or wherever you stored it and you the power button to select. You should eventually see Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip. Select it with the power button, confirm and let it run by selecting YES.
9. That should be done very quickly and when it has it will say “Install complete. Enjoy!” Install from sdcard complete.
10. Root and you’re now rooted!! I hope you have ICS as well!!
11. Optional! If you want to take advantage of ICS I recommend you download the Apex Launcher. It’s highly customizable. I recommend it and I love this launcher!

![reootnote How To Root AT&T Samsung Note SGH i717 [Easy Instructions]](http://www.traemcneely.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/reootnote.jpg "reootnote")
Bought a Samsung Note or i717 model from AT&T and had it rooted in less than a minute, seriously!!
DO THIS FIRST: Make sure you have the latest Samsung Drivers downloaded and installed to your computer. Download them HERE. Install them successfully before you proceed to the next step.
DO THIS SECOND: Download pda.tar file HERE and put it somewhere, I recommend on your desktop. Save it to your computer basically.
DO THIS THIRD: Make sure you have Odin3 1.8.5 HERE installed on your computer. If you do then skip this.
Step 1) Power off your phone completely. Also make sure it isn’t connected to your computer (doesn’t matter, but it’s what I did). Hold down the Volume down and Power until you get another screen which is download mode. When you get download mode, press Volume up to continue.
Step 2) Open up Odin3 on your computer. Now, plug phone (it should still be in download mode) into computer using your USB cable. If should recognize it. If it doesn’t then you did something wrong. Try again.
Step 3) In Odin3, click the PDA button, nothing else, and select the pda.tar file that you download and placed, on your desktop or wherever you previously saved it.
Step 4) Click start. Your phone may reboot a couple of times but that’s normal.
Step 5) Lastly, on your phone download the Superuser app from the Android market HERE. It’s easier just to go to the market on your phone and download it. You’re rooted, got Superuser and you’re done. If an application asks for it, and you know what you’re doing and you will want to give Superuser permission by selecting yes if ever prompted in the future.

Wow, what a beauty. AT&T and Samsung have announced the Note is coming to AT&T’s network. It will be LTE compatible for broadband speeds while on the go. The Note also comes in blue or white featuring a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. The screen with be a brilliant, huge 5.3 Super AMOLED touchscreen

With a bigger screen comes the need for a bigger battery so the Note will feature a 2500 mAh battery. The back camera with be 8MP and the front will be 2MP which is expected. I’m already lining up buyers for my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. Why won’t Samsung at least give us time to break our phones in for a few months? We don’t know a release date but it seems like it will arrive in stores within the next few months.

Did you try and download an app from the Android Market and you got the following message…”Your Device Is Not Compatible With This Item”? Probably did. There are 3 methods to fixing this. Let me provide you with the most common fix for this. I’ve provided a screenshot below.
![wpid SC20111217 152033 [How To] Fix Your Device Is Not Compatible With This Item In Android App Market Galaxy S II, Skyrocket, Etc](http://www.traemcneely.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wpid-SC20111217-1520331.png "[How To] Fix Your Device Is Not Compatible With This Item In Android App Market Galaxy S II, Skyrocket, Etc")
Method 1. Go to your Menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Press All > and then scroll down to Market. Press clear cache first and then clear data second. If you clear data it will clear cache but the first way is my method. Reopen the market.
Method 2. If you have a custom rom this is most likely your fix. This fix involves the program LCD Density. If LCD Density is set to something other than the norm. I recommend you set your LCD Density to 240 or back to the norm. The nook is 160 I believe if you’re using a nook. If you’re using an Android phone like on my Skyrocket, then set it to 240 and then press KillAll and let it do its thing. Make sure you give it permissions when SuperUser asks. I set mine to 200 and 220 and some programs in the market won’t download so I recommend, depends on your phone setting the density to 240, download the program and then set it back to your preferred density setting.

Method 3. Like above, if you have a custom rom like CM7 or some other rom I would recommend doing the above as well but also try this. Download MarketEnabler from HERE. Go to the settings list and long-press Verizon [us] and then fake this provider now. You can try T-Mobile if you want. Reopen the market and try and download your program.
The first method is recommended for everyone if you’re going to a different rom and I recommend the method 2 and 3 if you’ve flashed a custom image or rom on your Android device.
