easy question CWM and ROOT - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed an old firmware [N7000XXKKA], applied ROOT and CWM to it.
now I upgraded my firmware to a new one [N7000XXLA4], by using the CWM manager, and choose KEEP CF-ROOT.
my question is:
did the firmware get completely upgraded? or did the kernel remained the same and I just did nothing

Your kernel will be same old.
You can update it to new LA4 with this
Download , extract n Run I am already Rooted. it will take few seconds

What kind of features am I going to miss if I'm on the latest ROM (LA6), but stay on the KK1 kernel?

If your CWM application is full functional, I dont think any thing you will miss.

Ok I was afraid staying with the older kernel meant I was giving up performance enhancements (or other enhancements) in the later kernels.

[Q] SGS screen error after update to Gingerbread

After flashing gingerbread 2.3.3XWJVH deodexed to my SGS using this guide
*Cannot be shown, first post :/*
My problem is that at boot and right before the home screen displays the device shows a distorted assortment of colours, different everytime.
Anybody have any ideas of the cause / solution?
Cheers guys.
You need updated bootloader for Gingerbread firmware.
Intratech is correct, download a gingerbread rom with bootloaders included, flash through odin with repartition and update bootloader both ticked

Can this have to be done via the same method I used before? (ODIN)
Or can it be done as an addition step? I have a sneaking suspicion it's the prior.
Thanks for the quick reply by the way.
EDIT: Answered before I even posted, you guys are so quick you are in the future.
One more thing, could you link me to the files needed to ensure the gingerbread update is pre rooted, as this one was?
Also, I just read that in it's current state my phone can't go into recovery mode, does that mean that if this next update goes wrong, I'm screwed?
No need to repartition, just get rom with bootloader. Same as before with Odin, the firmware will include the bootloader.

Thank you for your help, all sorted now. All I need to find now is a way to root this and install CWM to it.
I know it's rather unrelated and I shall seek out/ make a new threat if I can't get an answer here, but would you recommend the installation of the ported TouchWiz 4 update.zip at the moment?

Go to the dev section and look for the CF-Root thread, it will root and install CWM to your phone. TW4 is a major improvement on TW3 that comes with SGS. I have a SGS II now as well and I love TW4 so if you can install it on your ROM then go for it. Make sure you do a nandroid backup in CWM recovery in case anything gets messed up so you can just restore before installing it though.
Try flashing Cieto's JVHbase Rom from my signature. It's very stable and very fast. Here'sthe link for front facing camera fix. Try his rom. You will be blown away by how good it is. He is very quick to give support as well. The difference with battery life and speed compared to stock JVH from samfirmware.com is huge.

I'm currently looking at Tweaky V4.1. It looks to be what I'm after I'm just not sure if it is compatible with my current set up.
I will check out Cieto's Rom too.

[Q] Problems Rooting the SGN

I have the GT-N7000 Vodafone GR with XXLA6 Kernel.
I 've tried all methods I could find in XDA and/or on the Internet (zergRush, reverting in older stock ROM, reverting rooting and updating to latest ROM, ODIN, CRW etc)
All attempts that succeeded have resulted to one unstable Note; instability meaning that it reboots, repeatedly and uncontrollably, at any time it wishes, especially after a normal restart (power off or simple reboot). Or, in some cases, losing the 3G data connection and having to reboot to regain it.
I need root access for ad blocking and quick rebooting. I'm not really into overclocking or tweaking the device but I'd do it if possible without losing stability.
Any ideas how this can be achieved?
Thanks in Advance

I think, the only option to only get root is to downgrade your note to a rootable rom and then root it with zergRush.
Please let me know if you need further help.
Alternative and easier way for you to root your Note would be to flash using PC Odin one of the pre-rooted stock Roms.
After that download the corresponding CF-Root kernel (i.e. if you flashed LC1 Rom, download LC1 CF-Root kernel) and flash it through Mobile Odin to inject CWMR.
That's all.

Don't know about this thread Bookmarked it.
You can use this method 'cause it's the easier one.
I've tried ODIN with older Stock Unfortunately as soon as I upgrade to latest ROM it becomes unstable
The thing with the pre-rooted is that none is Greek Vodafone and I need the latest Vodafone GR
Thanks for the replies
Anyone else?

The usual remedy for system instability is just to do a factory reset once.
Everything usually behaves nicely after that.
Won't it be unrooted by the factory reset as I'll be "upgraded" to the latest stock ROM?

No, never. Reset just erases your personal apps and data, and doesn't touch the system.
OK! Thanks a zillion Starting the process....
Looks all right I'll monitor and update in case of problems. FYI for better or for worse I wiped/FSed BEFORE and AFTER downgrading the ROM and rooting
Just now More than 36 hours of operating smoothly and greatly, it started again rebooting at will with no GSM signal etc.
Any ideas?

just out of interest, why dont the pre-rooted roms have the CWM kernel as default?

Why do you need 'Greek Vodafone', as you put it.
There is nothing specific about the Vodafone rom except perhaps some bloatware.
Don't all of these ROMs support the Greek language? Under language/keyboard, my ROM displays Greek, I believe it is the euro version

I need the Greek Vodafone Menu "app" that comes with it
OK 72+ hours after a new factory reset NO problems appear. I stronly believe that the issues were brought by too may apps installed. All previous times I had >190 apps Now I kept it <150 and it seems to work fine. (Could this mean that I have a hardware problem on my phone's memory chips?)
Any how the road was:
A) Downgrade to a rootable ROM
B) Root
C) Factory reset
D) Upgrade to the latest ROM with CWM
E) Factory reset
F) Full reinstallation from GP(Just to be on the safe side
That is all> If I have any news/probs I'll update

How do i get back to GB? I really hate battery drain on ICS (have tired airplane mode and screen on before unplug etc.) and just want a stadyer battery life via GB and a safe ROM to remove files and download stuff without constant feeling of brick...
Im running XXLPY and I rooted using touch CWM and BusyBox
I put the CWM.zip and BusyBoxInstaller.zip on to my SD and went on my GB recovery and flashed CWM touch version and used it to root = does it mean i have partial root or full and can i just install Rooted GB via PC Odin and be good with it or do i have to first unroot XXLPY and then revert to GB and then root it coz i like CF3D and couple other root required apps..
Thanks!

Error while flashing Rom with CWM

hi.
i have an Australian N7000B Note, and it is currently rooted on the latest available android in the country for the phone (2.3.6)
i have superuser and CWM installed.
i can boot into CWM and navigate with no worries, but whenever i try to install any custom rom, regardless what rom it is, i get the same error.
i really want to get off this crappy rom that Telstra provides with the phone, so any help is greatly appreciated.
many thanks
pic attatched of error.
Use ODIN to flash a stock ICS or GB ROM and then re-root and add cwm and try again
the issue you face is because your version is the GT-N7000B and the build.prop is for the GT-N7000 so its failing because it believes the ROM is for a different device.
if the product codes do not match up in the build.prop it will fail - this applies to all devices and all ROMs.
you could also open the .zip and find the build.prop and change all of them, But its a pain in the ass !

Because these are for the N7000 if i flash a stock ICS rom on my N7000B what will happen?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8
Put your details in there and it will find you a stock ROM. Ive seen threads where N7000B users have flashed N7000 ROMs without any issues.
EDIT: You CAN use any GT-N7000 firmware !
Awesome! I am downloading the Gingerbread Australian Rom as we speak for the N7000. if i flash it with odin, root it, and then install CWM would it work with installing custom roms such as paranoid android etc?
Yes because the Stock firmware will remove the 'B' and you will have no more install errors
Be sure to follow the instructions to the letter !! and make a nandroid before commencing.

Well, i have a nandroid backup of the current firmware, i made it just after i rooted it.
so, i will flash it with Odin on PC correct? does it require i wipe everything off the phone?
sorry for the questions i am a noob lol
you can wipe before or after it makes no difference so long as your on GB.
Dont ever wipe on ICS unless your on a safe kernel.
But do do a wipe as it will start you off on a fresh clean install

Rooting problem on latest firmware

Brief of the problem:
Have updated to latest firmware (2.3.6) but unable to root.
Am using superoneclick for rooting as i am not fully clued up in the technical bits of all the rooting. When I press root, it goes through all the processes and gets stuck at step7.
I have rooted this device before and unrooted it back (If i remember correctly it may have corrupted halfway but phone still works and still has the superoneclick/superuser app in the phone)
Can anybody help me to root this device successfully as i need to remove some stock apps I hate.
Many thanks in advance
I guess you could use Z4root as well on Gingerbread Roms. Otherwise you can do a nandroid backup and flash a clean and pre-rooted GB Rom
Root it using CF-Root kernel.. Download this http://download.chainfire.eu/155/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.zip (I suppose you have updated to a value pack - jw4 or jw5), just put your device to DL mode, put the *.tar file in PDA field in Odin (repartition NOT ticked), press start... done.. and you have your phone fully rooted, with CWM, superuser etc.

problem is to root device not to flash a new rom ........:cyclops:
Thanks to all for your replies. Have tried a few of these methods but still no luck. Dont fancy going down the flashing new rom route just yet as just want to root the phone to remove root/factory apps to make the phone run smoother as it seems tolag everytime i open an app or text messege etc.
Any other ways to root simply? sound like the newest firmware makes it harder to root..
yup no simple way to root a device ....
flashing rooted kernel does not sound like anice idea .....
why not just root the official kernel of rom
its surely will be most secure and most stable ...
I know it might sound silly as im not clued up in all this.. but what is a kernal and what does it do?
Can you submit me with a link to official kernals? and possibly a simple way of how to do it.
Cheers
