I have a tar of the system dump rooted, I do not have a Note! And therefore no extensive knowledge of Odin, if someone knows how to make it a Odin flash able here it is,
http://db.tt/KtVtP8pl

Edit: its a large file, about 500mg
its a system pull from a friends completely stock, the I added su busybox and super user.apk

Edit 2: also if someone can turn it into something Odin can flash, does anyone know if it will hit the counter?
I know if u flash a kernel it will, but unsure if just a system partition will also hit the counter?

Where we at with this? It seems like we hit a wall.

Whatever's easiest. zip, apk, rar. Probably just upload it as the op package would be fine. Greatly appreciated.

In case someone is anxious for this, here is a quick and dirty guide how to do it:

1.) Grab my stock system.img.ext4 from stock odin post
2.) Boot into a linux with ext4 support compiled into kernel and e2fsprogs installed
3.) Put the system.img.ext4 in your home folder
(from your home folder)
4.) sudo mkdir /mnt/system
5.) sudo mount system.img.ext4 /mnt/system
6.) look in /mnt/system, here is the whole filesystem mounted as a folder. you can add/remove/change things at will from here, like adding su to /mnt/system/xbin, theme stuff, whatever. every change is preserved in the system.img.ext4.
7.) leave the /mnt/system folder so it's not in use
8.) df -h (note the size of /mnt/system in MB)
9.) sudo umount /mnt/system
10.) sudo e2fsck system.img.ext4 (say yes to the prompt asking to create lost+found so it is marked clean)
11.) sudo resize2fs system.img.ext4 790M (this is assuming df -h read 785MB, I am leaving 5MB free space. You can make this any size up to 1GB which is the full system partition size)
12.) (optional) re-mount system.img.ext and delete lost+found folder, then umount it. Android doesn't require that folder, we just needed e2fsck to mark the filesystem clean before resize2fs resized it.
(you should now have a system.img.ext4 at the size you set in resize2fs step.)
13.) tar cvpf pda-odin-system.tar system.img.ext4

That's it, you've cooked up a custom system.img.ext4 to be flashed by Odin to /system, this is my favorite way to mod a ROM :)

    This is what worked for me:

    1. Download mashi's file onto your desktop. Use 7zip and extract it.

    1. download Odin 1.85 onto your PC and install it (actually you might not have to install it, just extract it and have it ready).
    http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=581913&d=1304094576

    2. Download the drivers for your phone on the PC and install it. Then plug in your phone to make sure it works -- it seems to take a while to get everything working. If you get an error, try rebooting and try again. Also, try using the cable that came with your phone -- 3d party cables don't always seem to work. If it still doesn't work, try another USB port.

    3. Turn off your phone and uplug it. Take the battery out of your phone, put it back in, and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time. Keep them held down until the phone starts buzzing and you see the Samsung name.

    4. At this point you are either in download mode or the phone will tell you to hit volume up, at which point you'll be ready.

    5. Run Odin on your PC -- right click and choose "Run as Administrator" just to be safe.

    6. Plug your phone into your PC.

    7. In the Odin screen, wait until one of the top boxes turns yellow and displays some numbers.

    8. UNCHECK all the boxes except for Auto Reboot.

    9. Hit the PDA button and navigate to mashi's file that you unzipped.

    10. Hit start

    11. wait until your phone reboots.

    12. If it didn't work, try rebooting and starting from scratch.

    13. Papashex says: verify super user app now present. Update super user app (optional).

    This one is difference than Da_G one. Da_G one is perm root but it will increase flash counter. This one flash with Odin but in system level not boot kernel

    Well since no one else was either dumb enough to try this or I'm the only one who really doesn't want to trip a counter on a day old device....I went ahead and flashed this thru Odin! Btw....it works for those still reading this thread.
