[Q] 2. Naive questions about Root+CWM - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

1. Does installing Root + CWM wipe the phone data and installed apps?
2. Having installed Root + CWM how can one still benefit from the upcoming OTA release of ICS?

1. Yes
2. You can't, but prolly ICS will be ported to Note by some third party before Samsung, which means no touchwiz yay!

No and no. Installing root and cwm on stock ROM won't wipe anything, if you then flash a ROM then you'll need to wipe first though

[Q] I cannot uninstall apps on any ICS build

Hello everyone.
My problem sounds strange.
Whatever ICS build I flash, I cannot uninstall app or clear data.
As a away to fix this, I've reflashed back to different stock GB ROMs ( KJ3, KJ4, KK3, Cl1 wipe) and the problem still the same.
As I had read somewhere; this problem occurs only with some NEW Notes which come with indirectly rootable ROM and you downgrade it to earlier stock GB in order to root.
The initial Firmware that came with the device LA1 ...
Any suggestion please ?!
worth to know that I am currently on TMT 1.0. I 've tried earlier version of MIDNOTE ,ZCLP6 and everything was the same "trying to uninstall does work and application info always shows Computing"

Have you tried with Titanium Backup Pro? That allows uninstall, at least for me.
Cheers!
the reason why is cause you will not be fully rooted properly

To make sure you have proper root, try to paste anything (a pic or video) to the /system folder and see if it's saved
Tested, root works perfectly .... but it's still not fixed
Ok try this:
-download AbyssNote Kernel version 4.2 and ICS Stunner and put them in your sd card
- reboot to recovery and flash AbyssNote Kernel version 4.2 (ONLY use version 4.2)
- after flashing is done, go to advanced menu---> reboot recovery
- now your in Redpill Recovery, go to install menu and flash ICS Stunner 1.4.19
- press reboot system after you finish installation
Test if uninstalling is working this way

Thanks very much
Finally it works, but I've lost root privileges.
Do I need to reflash everything starting from android ?!
Because I've flashed this working method over TMT with wipe data/ factory reset!

Can you flash AbyssNote kernel version 4.2? If you can then you're lucky, just flash it, go to advanced menu and choose Reboot Recovery and from Redpill Touch recovery flash your preferred ROM

Switching CM9 from Samsung ICS?

So there's three questions here.
1) What improvements are there in CM9 over the Samsung ICS ROM that really make it stand out and make flashing CM9 worthwhile? What happens to all my apps and are there any killer bugs?
2) How would I go about installing CM9 considering the brick problem with the Samsung ICS ROM?
EDIT:
Some extra information. My Note is an unlocked version purchased from Amazon UK and I have already rooted my device, prior to which I flashed the official ICS ROM using PC Odin.

Samsung ICS and CM9 are two completely different ROMs, CM9 is the pure android experience, No junk, No bloatware, Super fast you really should try it.
However, if you use CM9 you will lose all the S-Pen features and it will become just a normal stylus, You will also lose the S Memo app(s) but there are some alternatives. To install it, Just flash a GB rom via ODIN, Flash abyss kernel and then flash CM9 (you will need to wipe on abyss kernel)
Pretty simple really I have a nandroid of paranoid android and a nandroid of rocketROM, so i can simply flash GB or ICS via ODIN and restore my nandroid, So i can constantly switch between the 2 as im undecided which one i like the most
Losing S-Pen features isn't a big problem as long as it still works as a stylus. My biggest thing is my widgets and apps. Particularly SPlanner. Does CM9 come with a decent calander along with a widget for said calender?
For installation, do I flash the GB ROM with mobile ODIN or PC Odin? And how do I install a kernel?
Sorry I'm new to the whole custom ROM world
Im not sure if the stock calendar will suit your needs but no harm in trying Theres a ton of calendar apps & widgets in the play store so you'll be fine.
As for installation, You can either use Mobile ODIN or PC ODIN, I always use PC ODIN cause i've always used it.
So after you have flashed GB in ODIN, Reboot the phone, Put all the stuff on the SD, then reboot in to download mode
as for kernels, Download this one https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/GingerBread-speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-12-Odin.tar
Flash it in ODIN (PDA) Then put this one on your SD card along with your CM ROM https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo.zip and flash it in CWM recovery, reboot recovery (under advanced menu in CWM)
Now find the ROM and flash it Job done !
So step 1) Flash GB with Odin.
step 2) Flash new kernal
step 3)... I'm lost
1) Flash GB
2) Flash Kernel
3) Boot into recovery
4) Flash abyss kernel ( not necessary as there is no brickbug on GB, But it states to use it on the OP of Paranoid Android (CM ROM) )
5) Reboot recovery
6) Wipe and factory reset, Wipe cache + Dalvik cache
7) Flash your CM based ROM
8) Jump for joy
9) Report back saying it worked
All your softwares which are part of Samsung rom will be lost, like S-Memo or the SNote, Splanner, TW launcher etc.
The CM9 roms have their own calendar installed and which also does the work that its supposed to do. With CM9 roms you get lot of options for modification and also as per your liking.
To install - you need to go back to GB roms first. Use the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
1. The above link will give you prerooted GB Rom and will also ensure your binary count does not increase. Use PC Odin to flash
2. Download your choice of CM 9 rom like the Original CM9 or Asylum or the Paranoid Android and keep it in your phone's root drive.
3. Download Abyss 4.2 kernel and flash using the Mobile Odin. Reboot to Kernel once installed.
4. Install your selected CM9 variant from your internal storage.
The above steps will help you get CM9. My favourite is Asylum and PA. Asylum for further speed enhancement over CM9 and PA for its Tablet mode.
Hope this helps.
+1 to paranoid android, The hybrid tablet/phone mode is awesome, and it looks really good on the note, Lots of customisation to change DPI too !
Thanks to kailashnj for linking a prerooted GB rom That should save you some time !

How do I do step 6?
Okay, Once you have flashed your kernel, It should inject root + CWM on to the phone, So boot into recovery (volume UP + home + power) then select wipe data / factory reset, After that is done, wipe cache partition, then after that, go to advanced and select clear dalvik cache.
then on to step 7

[QUESTION] From ICS 4.0.4 to any gingerbread ROM Please help on procedure...

I have read particular threads here in xda note forum... and believe me, I am getting more and more confused on the procedure on how to get back to GINGERBREAD as I read more and more about this stuff... Forgive me, but my mind is only like PENTIUM 4, I dont really understand some High-level procedures...
So here is some details
Reason why to go back to GINGERBREAD:
Because I'm afraid that my Note has suffered "slight" emmc brick. I could not mount /system as R/W on root explorer and File expert or ES file Manager also tried remounting using terminal emulator...
History:
during my CRISKELO V8 days, I have flashed in CWM the "hacked S VOICE" and after reboot, experienced random reboots and FC's. and then it could not read my internal as well as my external memory card, and says i need to reformat it, so i reformat it and everything went well.. but still getting FC's and random reboots however it can now read my internal and external sd card, so to get rid of FC's and randome reboot I flashed Kingdroid v5.1.1 final version and everything went well, smooth and all running except that i noticed that i could not mount my /system as RW so decided to revert back to gingerbread.
Current Phone Info
pda: n7000xxlrg
phone: n7000xxlrb
csc: n7000dbtlrg
ROM: Kingdroid ICS Note Mania v5.1.1 lrg
KERNEL: speedmod-n7000-ics #k3-11
Android version; 4.0.4
Planned Procedure in reverting back to Gingerbread
1. Flashed Abyss kernel 4.2 (the one with touch type CWM) via PC ODin. (may increase flash counter but it doesnt matter)
2. boot in CWM and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
3. Install Gingerbread ROM.zip via CWM (probably Kingdroid gingerbread rom)
4. boot in CWM and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and reboot system
Please tell me if my procedure is correct and please advise me if i am missing something... I desperately need your help here guys... cause i dont wanna cause more trouble to my note as he suffered a lot...
THANK YOU!!!!

SuperSU : Installed correctly but failed to update binaries
Busybox Installer app: Installed correctly but could not install any version of the busybox
Another thing is that i have no space left on my /system it is 100% used?? why is that?
does this means I have partial root??? If thats the case... then what can I do to obtain full root???

It seems like you don’t have full root. Revert back to GB. Root your device. Upgrade it to any ICS version. Remember to do full wipe on safe kernels. Not on stock ICS kernels.

another question... why is my /system 100% used?? Is it because i do not wipe data/factory reset when i install ROMS and so some system files remains in my phone?? it is stated in ROM thread that it is ok to flash their ROM even without wiping.... its really weird...

For the first question . YES it will work for you.
Second after installing Rom you have to do all three Wipes for a clean install. Your system shows full because you didn't perform wipes after flashing

[Q] JB to GB downgrade failure?

So, this is what happened. I first upgraded to the latest official JB 4.1.2 XXLSA firmware. I noticed that it still wasn't as fast as I'd like, and wanted to try a custom ROM instead. I read through the guides in here and get that I have to downgrade to a GB ROM first in order for me not to hardbrick my phone. So, I download "N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries" from that list over stock ROM's in the Q&A root guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 . I follow the flashing guide to the letter, puts my phone in download mode, runs the flash via Odin, the phone restarts, and everything goes south. Basically this happens: When I start my phone it get's to the point in the GB initial startup where I'm to touch the Android to start, but then all it does is throw messages at me about this service and that service having stopped responding, untill the phone reboots. So now I have reflashed back to the JB ROM.
So basically, what am I doing wrong, and what can I do to make a proper downgrade so I can get rooted, install CWM and get down and get it on with some custom ROM's?
Thx in advance!
Same happened with me. I flashed GB and was getting force close messages. But not a big problem. Just flash GB rom again. And after flashing just delete all user data from recovery and reboot. U wont get those messages any more.

You always need to WIPE data / factory reset after downgrading from JB .. GB is safe to go ahead.. if you choose ICS then first flash a safe kernel and then do wipe
It seems to me that KK5 is non wipe, which explains why you got those messages. The rest is detailed in nokiamodeln91's message BTW, JB is still not official for our Notes. What you installed was a leak with a safe kernel (if it was Philz).

Exactly.
I had this issue too when downgrading to GB. Wipe Cache and Dalvik and you should be ok from then on.
Wow. A lot of replies in just a single day. You guys are awesome
Now you say that the KK5 is non-wipe. Are there any GB-roms which are wipe, so to speak? Or do I have to do the flash to GB, enter recovery, wipe cache partition and do wipe/factory reset, then reboot into a now working phone, set up for root with USB and so forth, root and install CWM, copy the custom ROM to my SD-card (gonna go for ParanoidAndroid) as well as Google services if I want those, and then install them via CWM/Mobile Odin?

GB LC1 is wipe. But if you want PA (which is an excellent choice) just flash a CM10 kernel in your recovery (if your recovery is safe, like GB for example). Then follow Utacka's instructions for the installation.
But if I want CWM I should do root and install CWM there? And then flash the custom ROM from CWM?

The CM10 kernel comes with its own recovery where you can flash from. If you have root issues, just flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip. In any case don't flash from stock ICS with CMW.zip: if you are on ICS and not rooted flash the relevant Philz kernel (which is safe and will give you root and CWM) then the CM10 kernel.
Edit: what ROM do you have now?
I use the 4.1.2 XXLSA ROM
Btw, anyone knows where I can download the Google Services Framework so I can install it alongside Paranoid Android? I have been led to believe it's not included as per default
Thx for all the replies!!
If you have downloaded the xxlsa rom then it's inside the rom zip file. Path system/app/GoogleServicesFramework

[Q] Correct order upgrading from GB to JB.

Hey!
So I have decided I can't wait any more and want to put the JB ROM on my device :victory:.
Currently I have Cocore 4.1 kernel + stock GB ROM.
I want to upgrade to the latest LQ4 from this thread.
What would be the right order to upgrade:
1) Install new kernel for JB (Does it matter if it has CWM or TWRP? Since the LQ4 on this thread is said to only be update-able with CWM, and I actually like TWRP better)
2) Enter recovery --> Full wipe / factory reset
3) Install ROM
Or
1) Enter recovery --> Full wipe / factory reset
2) Install ROM (remember I am currently using CoCore 4.1 for GB with TWRP)
3) Flash new Kernel for JB
If a full wipe / factory reset isn't needed, which wipes are needed?
Thanks again!

1) Install new kernel for JB (Does it matter if it has CWM or TWRP? Since the LQ4 on this thread is said to only be update-able with CWM, and I actually like TWRP better)
2) Enter recovery --> Full wipe / factory reset
3) Install ROM
Or
1) Enter recovery --> Full wipe / factory reset
2) Install ROM (remember I am currently using CoCore 4.1 for GB with TWRP)
3) Flash new Kernel for JB
If a full wipe / factory reset isn't needed, which wipes are needed?
Thanks again!

1. That thread is just for deodexing your JB ROM. It is not a ROM. There are just deodexed files from system/app and system/framework.
2. Non of above are the way of upgrading from GB to JB.
3. Use this.
4. Do factory reset after.
Thanks again shut_down! :good:

Oh, I thought the official JB ROM is already deodexed, no?
As for the wiping whats the difference between factory reset, cache wipe and dalvik wipe?

Every stock is odexed. You deodex it to get posibilities of using more modified stuff.
Factory reset wipes all your apps, that you installed with Play store (or any other way), and all your data. Making your phone like it was when you bought it. Cache and dalvik chache do not touch any data, but sometimes when you change something it is suggested that you do it (like change some system app or somethig like that).
So you better backup your installed apps with Titanium Backup, backup your phonebook and things like that. Before you do factory reset, that you can restore it on JB later.
Thanks!
By using ODIN to upgrade, does it also wipe my current kernel to the stock one?
Meaning I can later put TZ, CoCore or watever I want the usual DD flash way (after rooting off course)?

Yes, Odin and stock JB firmware will overwrite old 2.3.6. kernel, and install new 3.x.x. And you can install any JB custom kernel with DD later when you root.
Thanks again mate!
