Hi friends, I have a galaxy note that I bought in the netherlands. it was full of bloatware. so I used odin and flashed a KL7 on it, it was nice... later on I flashed a KL8 on it.
I was watching porn the other day, and I noticed that I couldn't raise the volume of the movie because my S-Pen\finger cannot touch the edges of the screen, as if something went wrong (I cannot completely approve that it wasn't like this before the new firmwares). and also these new kernels not showing up on any official website is kinda weird you know?
so my questions are:
how do I install a customized firmware? like rocket rom abyss kernel and etc? I find it really hard to spot a proper guide over here. its like this forum only accepts experts and not new people who have no prior experience.
can I install the rocket rom on my current firmware? or do I need to root\ do some things first?
thanks in advance
Yes, you have to root first and flash CWR Clockwork recovery.
In development section you will find the proper threads.

Hi all, just wondering if anybody is feeling helpfull and explaing the easiest rooting method for my galaxy note.
I have an unlocked note on 2.3.6 latest gingerbread.
Total noob with android and finding it a little confusing after coming from apple. I jailbroke my i4 but this is alot different no click and done lol.
My main reason is so i can perform full backups including app data, and also installing a few apps like airplayit.
Been having a read but my head is swiming.

Hi mate. I was in the same boat as you.
Even after being into rooting my Androids since the G1 days.
This is my first Samsung.
Anyway. Follow the "how to root with cwm and everything in one place thread"....or something like that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I see they've moved the non rootable roms to post 4.
It depends which version you have add to what you need to do.
Download Odin and flash a completely stock GB rom as the one I had LA6 I think was unrootable .
Then I just flashed paranoid Android loved it ever since.
Follow the instructions on that thread and you should be fine.
Doing that though ill loose everything?, spent weeks setting up

Hi,
I would read, read, read & read more if you have a head that is swimming with all the information.
Read this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702214
among hundreds of others.
I managed to kill one of my notes & didn't consider myself a noob but the brick bug got me.
Yes when you install new roms there is a lot of setting up to re-do hence backups are important & time time saving BUT read about the brick/eMMC erase problem and hold out until the situation has been resolved, otherwise all you will have is a very expensive paper weight.
Yeah ill hang on. Not desperate to get it done and also dont have the time.

if you want your GB rooted, just flash a non-wipe pre-rooted ROM from bodivas thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
I did the same and worked for me
What i did was flashed speedmod kernel k2-12.tar through odin and my rom was rooted with cwm and from there i flashed abyss 4.2. By doing this i got yellow triangle which i got rid of by installing ics rom and triangle away app
what does non wipe mean?
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
Means it will install on top of your current rom without resetting all youre data and apps.
please hit thanks if i helped
ok so your saying i can flash a prerooted rom of the same type, over my current and hopefully end up with no setting up?
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
Ok, please bear with me. I was often afraid to ask questions in the E4T forum because I was new. I bought my N7000 used and the previous owner rooted and flashed Criscelo (spelling) on it. I updated to the latest version. The device has a yellow explanation point and I wanted to know the easiest method of getting rid of it? If I flash back to a stock rom, will that fix the issue? I do not have a 'jig' or whatever it is called, although I would like to buy one if someone could point me in the right direction.
Look for triangle away app... There's a paid version in Google play and the free version in forums..
Judge if chain deserves a beer for it or not.. And get the app in the store or in the forum.. It's the exact same app...
Just install follow instructions and that's it
Flashing firmwares custom or official won't solve the issue

And after you've done that check if you are on a safe kernel or not.
Safe kernel-SpeedMod,Goku,Notecore and few others.If not, then flash a safe kernel.
Read around, you'll find everything
I posted this question back in early october and no correct answers were given and thread was deleted. so here it goes again. I updated from stock hc to official stock ics through kies i guess? whichever is through the settings - check for updates on the tab. i then asked how to root to jb and people tried telling me one way and then others said no dont do it that way since im running stock official ics. i dont know what odin is, i dont know what flashing is and i dont know what kernels are. i would please like simple simple step by step instructions on how to root to the latest AOKP jb from official ics. i am sorry for the edginess but im just so frustrated i bought this tab and paid 330 for it in sept and I wish I would have waited. this tab is just to slow and id like the extra speed and features from jb as well as an option to oc the processor. $70 more and two months of waiting i could have got the nexus 10 .. oh and i have the wifi only 7310. PLEASE HELP!!
Read the stickies, they'll tell you what to do.

i have been searching stickies for hours, none of it makes sense to me thats why i am asking for simple instructions. Everyone who knows all tnis stuff post things assuming that everyone knows all the jargon, i am a tech noob. Debating on selling this thing if i cant get jb. what do you think a 32 gb 7310 only two months old aind in mint condition with a nice moto $40 leather case could fetch? lol again sorry for soundimg like an ass im just frustrated
I have a tab i957. It wasn't the easiest to get jb on. Which tab do you have?
The first thing you need is Odin. Google Odin 3 ver 1.85.
Then you'll need to flash a recovery, either twrp or clock work mod, make sure it's specific to the tab you have. you flash it with Odin
Then you'll need to down load a jb Rom on to your device,again make sure it's for your device. Then you flash it through the recovery.
The stickies will have more specific info. There are no simple steps. You have to learn by reading and trying.

You dont have to use Odin with the latest roms! do you?
Not to flash the Rom, only to get clockwork or twrp recovery on the device. The Rom is flashed thru the recovery.

hi everyone sorry for the dumb question ived looked everywhere with no difinative answer. I am new to rooting obviously but have been following u guys since hd2 days!!! Never pulled the trigger on flashing but im tired of the wait for an official jb rom by tmo which dont know if it will ever happen. Anyway i have seen all the threads on rooting the tmo note but not sure if the files to root can be done with this build uvma1. All of them are about the previous version uvgl3 or something like that which is the previous one before the update back december- january. Also would u choose cwrm or twrp cor recovery and do i need the latest version of odin or will the 1.4 be ok. Sorry for sounding lost and dumb but have only glanced through most of the process. Worst case scenerio is getting me a new note2!!

Thank you for the link and have read it but someone talks about downloading cwm and superuser and then downloading a uvma1.tar file which there isnt a link to it and the last post explains a diferrent procedure which to me sounds knid of complicated and dont know if i can pull that off as i am not very bright to such thin as u can tell lol. The original way sounded much easier but i guess the uvlg3 file wont work on this build from what i can tell. If that makes sense now im just hesitant to try any of it as i really cant afford to get me a new phone incase something goes wrong. Sorry for sounding dumb but i wish it could be much easier.
You can go to my thread and install my pre rooted version. You can use backup then restore to keep your data.

As I have mentioned in the "Goodies" forum the only way I could root the build (uvma1) is by downloading the two apps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217840 from method 3 section and flash it using TWRP 2.3. Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip did not work, would not even flash.
Hi all I've not done this before but not noob to the unlocking scene just first time for Android.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
Firmware Version 2.3.5
Baseband Version I9000BVJV3
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I9000BVJVC-CL679241 [email protected] #2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.BVJVC
What I'm looking to do is unlock it to allow me to use any network (currently orange).
after that I would then like to look at changing the rom or upgrading to the latest Rom's where able for SIII & S4. :victory:
I've spend a while reading other post so clearer than others but none that can help me as I'm having trouble finding the correct Kernel.
Please any and all help would be most appreciated.:cyclops:
plenty of unlock apps in the market

then follow this tutorial to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
Update on advice
Hi thanks for posting advice.
I've managed to unlock the phone by using a combination of
Rooting it with Unlock Root via pc
That gave me Superuser (upgraded to pro for £2)
BusyBox Free, Titanium backup Free needed also
Then I was able to use Galaxy S Unlock to save files to sdcard and unlock to any network.:victory:
Now does this mean I'm rooted and don't have to follow all the steps that the link above advices
no need if already got busybox installed

Thanks for comments, can I ask now its rooted do I need to install anything else to allow me to change the Rom's such as newer official ones or once others are raving about.
Thanks.
updating or changing ROM was easy method but deadly also, wrong move will come to brick fone. if u really hav thought it well, juz follow any instruction on xda regarding i9000 after confirming ur device version, backed up baseband, build number n etc involve.
n now u ll need cwm for flashing. find cwm to gain access to recovery n thats where u gonna flash ur custom ROM, but read a lot before doing it as here in Q & A section, many success, also failure posted here, so be sure to read first mate

Congratulations on accomplishing your unlock. Now you might be helped with a good, rich toolbox and clear guides
I'm referring you to some wonderful threads I've come across during similar quests of my own.
(It's all there; but asking the right questions and not seeing the wood for the trees will always remain tricky )
So here are my top three suggestions for your toolbox, in order of importance and relevance. You might find some overlap among them.

As to what ROM to choose, I seriously like to push my own (eventual) ROM of choice, Mackay ROM (Unless gaming on the phone is your thing, which might bring up desires and demands that other ROMs serve even better.)
Good luck!
