[Q] Downgrading to rootable ROM in order to install custom ROM?

Hi all,
Seems like ICS will be delayed and instead of waiting for it, I've decided to install custom ROM. But before doing so, I would like a few comments from XDA SIFUs...
1.Am currently on:
Baseband ver: N7000DXKL2
Kernel ver: 2.6.35.7-N7000DXLA1
Does that means I'm now on LA1 ROM?
2.If so, i understood that it's not directly rootable, thus needed to be downgraded. Referring to Dr Ketan's information, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, i would like to downgrade to:
N7000DXKL3 ------ -------2011 December-------- N7000OLBKL2
Will that be...KL3 or KL2?
3.Once downgraded using Odin, will it increase the flash counter?
4.After downgraded, can I just use Zergrush exploit method to root my phone?
5.Which custom ROM is recommended?
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
SiLvErBoLd17

1.You hav not mentioned build version, basically that is your ROM
2.You have showned is KL3, but i recommend this to downgrade
N7000XXKL3 ------ 2.3.6 2011 December-------- N7000ODDKL1 --------------------India
3. this stock ROM, which won't raise counter
4.yes, n if you downgrade to above said ROM (which i hav recommend), select ' I have kernel KL1' N follow procedure from thread 'How to Root..."
5.Sorry here, I never tried any custom ROM

Hi ketan,
I received my SGN yesterday and right away the phone updated itself to LB2 (India).
I felt the need to root immediately to shift my apps from my older custom romed galaxy ace to SGN.
I read up your guide and rooted through odin (PC) which rooted my kernel down to the KJ1 version. After the customary reboot everything seemed ok - it showed superuser+CWM in app list. Then the pixellated screen began appearing after the screen off. I could only come out of it by removing battery.
On searching these forums i found some posts on pixellated screen caused by certain custom kernels in SGN. I thought that may be the kernel was being incompatiable with my SGN hardware . Then i downloaded the latest stock rom (LC1 - open europe) and tried flashing the new rom using CWM - but surprisingly the CWM prompted for the CSC file only in the firmware folder.It didnt ask for code and modem files. Still i went ahead with the installation and the CWM installed the new rom with apparently no problems - still the kernel is showing KJ1 after this and again the pixxelation problem is still there.
Iam no expert but i think the kernel KJ1 is the problem
(my baseband version is XXLB2)
Present status
Android version 2.3.6
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7 - ....KJ1 -CL627135
Build number GB.XXLC1
Can i retain my root and upgrade my kernel and get rid of this pixxelation problem ?
Is there an good way to do this ?

If you need a full stock rom you must flash through odin.Flashing through CWM will keep the kernel the same so you have the problem continuing.Flash the rom using PC odin and the problem will be solved

This will erase Root, kernel can be updated later too. He has done exact correct steps, Now he just need to update kernel.

[Q] Question for rooting SGN

Im currenly using SGN GT-N7000,
Android Version : 2.3.6
Kernel : 2.6.35.7-N7000DXLC2
i want to root + cwm + flash new rom ( looking for ICS )
i have searched and some of forumers said these version of kernel cant root yet,
is it?
any idea's?
any tutorials for me? easier for me to understands
Thanks.

Lazy, aren't you? There's a big juicy sticky in the Development subforum covering that in great detail.
But since I'm so nice:
Use Odin to downgrade to a stock ROM that is directly rootable (KKA is great for this purpose), then root using DoomLord Zergrush exploit. Flash a new build using Mobile Odin Pro, keeping root, then flash an appropriate CFroot kernel via Mobile Odin to get CWM recovery. Then you can safely flash whatever.

You may need to downgrade. You can check Dr. Ketan's sticky in the Development forum for the guide.

Hahh..
i do readed and watched several times of the rooting tutorials..
and some says DXLC2 are newer version and can't be root yet,
is it true?
and must downgrade it only can root?

Yes, follow Flintberg's directions and check out the sticky thread.

..and try reading and posting in the relevant section

thanks guys for helping
im from Malaysia, so
can i download / downgrade to :-
N7000DXKK1 --- 2.3.5 2011 November --- N7000OLBKJ6 ( Malaysia )
coz " KKA " roms is other country.. affraid the language changed..
if can, so that after downloaded these older stock rom ( directly rootable ),
use Odin3 to flash it?
after that where to get mobile odin pro? market ?
then use mobile odin pro to flash newer rom " Not Directly Rootable " DXLC2 " with " Ever Root " option ENABLE .
finish >> phone already rooted ???? running on [email protected] ?
got CWM too??
sry.. headache !! -.-"

Since we are in the noob-zone, i have two questions to ask.
1. If i decide to go back in stock ROM, can i use Odin for that? No matter what custom ROM i am at that moment?
2. If i want to flash another custom rom over my old custom rom, do i just make reset, wipe cache, wipe darvic cache and flash using CWM recovery?

For those who want to flash the latest ics rom from GB rooted rom., Please follow the instruction provided by DR.ketan, I did follow his instruction completely and ICS loaded with rooted.
I would not say the given instruction will 100% work to all user since we might not know what really mess up with your personal storage after flashing rom and mod so many times.
Just to remind all, please do backup in cwm before proceed to any step as noted above.

I'll be interested to know if upgrade works with mobile odin. And also if root can be kept this way.
BTW, downloading too.

Is it multi-CSC?

Thread in General, poster said mobile odin from CM9 -> root achieved! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25911144&postcount=89

Careful, people. You might not be able to revert to any other Rom if you flash it straight away.

I'ma try flashing with Mobile ODIN and EverRoot. Should probably work.

Rare firmwares ? Other questions too...

Hi
First of all, I come from the Archos world so Samsung is a bit strange for me.
I live in Morocco and I run an old firmware. It is rooted with zergrush and has got CWM and mobile odin. My GN is now on KK2/KK5/KK2 and it aqked me to do an update : LA1/LA4/LA1. I tried through FOTA but it failed in recovery (well at boot). My first questions are about this firmware : should I do it by kies or will it be the same? Does the update deletes root? (then could anyone tell me where to get the firmware to flash in ODIN) Does the update wipes data partition or resets Android (as in deletes settings accounts apps)?
Then I would like to get the ICS update as soon as it gets out. Does it require the update above? I tried to get info about it on Sammobile.com but I can't manage to find my product code in any of the firmwares (MAT - Rare?) but I see that there is another update for Morocco (product code FWD). Then same questipns as above : can I flash it through Odin directly?
Sorry for my bas English and for the noob questions as I'm not used to the large number of versions firmwares.

The reason the update fails is probably because you're rooted and have CWM installed.
When you update through Odin you will lose root. The easiest way to update to an official rom is by flashing a pre-rooted firmware with Odin from the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
You can pick any rom you'd like. You can find the LA4 update there but you can also flash LC1 which is a newer version.
After you have succesfully flashed with Odin you have a rooted firmware but no CWM yet. To get CWM you need to download a separate package from the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18978158&postcount=1
Scroll down a bit to section "2. I Want ROOT + CWM" and download the appropriate package. If you chose to flash LA4 then get the package for LA4, if you flashed LC1 then get the package for LC1 etc.
Extract the package you downloaded and execute "already-rooted.bat" and CWM will be flashed.
After that you have an updated and rooted firmware with CWM recovery.

Thanks for your reply. So basically I just need to get back to a stock rooted and then reinstall CWM?
But then I will still have the issue when updating to ICS right?
Ps : I see the LC1 version but it says France. Will I be able to flash it? (then maybe also the ICS after because the France and Moroccan have the same version LPY or sonething)

Hi there.
1. It's necessary to note that samsul not do the update again on device S Advance through direct ota for those who still use the stock Gingerbread (GB). While still using the stock GB I once never get a firmware update but only minor updates. BUT you can to do firmware updates manually, by downloading firmaware directly from some of the sites that provide specific firmware for your country, such as: sammobile*com, samsung-updates*com.
Note: I assume if you expect an update to a firmaware. But if you run into problems updates an application from playstore, then I suggest you to do a wipe applications through: settings - application - select playstore and wipe data. Then try reboot. But if it still doesn't work then, try to wipe data / factory reset through default recovery.
2. If you still want to use the stock GB and want to root your device, then you can follow a guide on the thread here. You can try some of the menu that is available there may exist that are suitable for firmware are you using now. Honestly I never tried it.
3. For flashing method is the same on every device model samsung, using Odin application. For the method of rooting the device janice as far as I know have several methods, depending on which firmware you use now. If you are using firmware Stock GB then you can follow the above method. But if you use the stock firmware Jelly Bean (JB) then you can use the method on a thread here.
Hopefully it helps & Good luck.

So the matching firmware i download i can flash it using odin without needing root or anything?and if i dont update and root gingerbread,can install cm11 from gingerbread?

The end result im looking for is cm11 running on my device. Your help is much appreciated

No.. Just flash from stock GB to Stock JB via odin. And.. Done.

I cant find the exact firmware for my country. Will flashing other countries firmware brick my device?
