[Q] its safe or not!???

so i have galaxy note and i have ota, but i havnt instaled it yet, so reading post about kernels and otheres stuff , hardbrick! so question is easy does it safe to update it on ics or not?? i cant understand , one group say its safe other say its not! so what the hell??!!! its just so confusing

OTA is one of the safest (if not the safest) method of flashing.

Updated mine yesterday.....
After ICS update by OTA i have done factory reset/data wipe and catch wipe twice. Once by setting menu with erase everything option and second by recovery option (vol up+home+power)...
Every thing is fine. My note running better than GB now.
Do a factory reset/data wipe in GB than update by OTA.
It's safe...

ALL ICS OFFICIAL roms are effected with the kernel bug .. if you want to stay in the safe side
stay on Ginger Bread until they release a safe rom

We might never know if/when they release a safe rom since samsung never gives any change log.
So what do we do ? Wait for ever ? Take the plunge ? Pray ?
I think it's down to that: either you can have it repaired under warrenty and then you just do it, or you got the phone on the grey market and you're stuck on GB for ever.
Then there is a third choice for everybody: flash CM9 from GB.
Stock Android 4.0.4 on your note without risk: how about that ?

I am sure we will have more safe kernels soon I know entropy has one "DAFUQ" and is working on fixing the bugs

yeah, is it safe?

Please post questions in the Q&A section​

[Solved]Need some help , :)

i am quite confsed..
i am a developer from htc wildfire s forum..
i have my brother owning galaxy note..
i flashed the CM10 (unofficial ) on my device he was quite impressed with the JB in such a low end phone.. (htc wildfire s is armv 6 with only 600 mhz with no support for hd gaming.. not even temple run works on it )
so he said me to root his device.. n flash the CM10 rom in it..
so as the guide said i rooted the phone..
(i also installed mobile odin n triangle away from market )
then i googled n realised there is something called binary counter..
n then i also realised that many users are having problem in flashing the CWM. (its kernel dependent i guess,, n i dont know which one to use.. i flashed the hydracore v3 kernel)
so i am likke WTF how to back up the rom?
N now if i want to flash a rom i can do it with odin.. but then how will i revert back to my ICS(the current rom ie the stock rom ,)
can plz someone answer to my questions...
LONG story in Short :
1) how to backup (without increasing the counter)
2)How to restore backup without getting the device bricked.

Root device and flash safe kernel(e.g.Hydracore) with Mobile odin
(2nd link on my signature, use method 1 to root, and use mobile odin to flash safe kernel)
After flashing safe kernel you will have CWM advance recovery, which have backup/restore function

Check rooting guide in Dr.Ketan's sig, you will find all methods to root there.
In method 1 you have to root first and then you can flash custom kernel using mobile odin or pc odin (flashing custom kernel will also install cwmr)
method 2 is flashing custom kernel using pc odin it will root and flash cwm recovery too.

Proly when those thread were created, there was no safe ICS custom kernel, now we have lots of them, You can use Hydracore kernel. So basically as long as you are on any safe kernel, you can restore and backup using cwmr without any danger of brick (provided that you follow correct procedure, lol)

No prob bud and yes HTC phones are not that much risky, I have used HD2 and Desire and they were so easy to play with.

It depends on your requirement, I have tried almost all custom roms available for Note from CheckROm (GB) to PA CM10 and they are are too good. But I always prefer stock rom for long run (again personal choice). As of now using stock LR6 with mods.

Jeetu1981,
Your hd2 still be with you? Im really miss that legendary smart phone. ...mine sold to my staff. Im force him to let me flash his hd2 at least once per month with the reason update for better performances..
Htc phone not too risky when come to flashing. But is more complicated and need more knowledge if compare to samsung phone.

lol, same here. I sold it to one of junior one year back (he is still using it) and just flashed PA by Xylograph 2 days back for him He actually don't know anything about flashing and all but wants to see different Android versions on his Leo.

im really regreted to sold my hd2. Im really never expect hd2 will have changes to taste jelly bean. I thought it will be the end of story when ics landed for hd2.
Im really wonder hd2 are going taste window 8 as well.
Nothing is impossible for hd2....:thumbup:

Does anyone confirm flashing again the rom fixes the unknown csc? The same version (v5.1) or another version (previous as v4) of the rom?

CSC= UNKNOWN
same problem with me, also hanging alot
please someone comeup with solution..

Some problems after installing Ultimate JB 5.1
I came from CyanogenMod 9.1.0 Stable.
On the whole Ultimate JB 5.1 is good but:
1) Bad battery life - the wifi stays on 24x7 even though I mention only when charging.
2) The Google search doesn't include options for Evernote and Google Drive and other apps. I don't know if it is specific to this Rom or JB.
3) I can't go back to CM9. The package doesn't install anymore. Do I need to change the kernel in Ultimate JB 5.1 first?
Ultimate XXLSC JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.1
Kernel 3.0.31-593490 [email protected] #4
I wanted to post this on the much larger thread in the development section but it says newbies can't post there :crying:

is it error 7 in recovery when installing new rom? then you will need to change the kernel. but keep in mind that the other kernel you try might not be compatible with this rom and thus you will have access to recovery /download mode only. make sure you have all the required files to flash the rom before hand

Hello all,
I'm from indonesia and currently I'm on ultimate ROM 4.1.2 V5.1 from joosh and I had a problem everytime made a phone call.
The phone call always hang up or disconnect after couple times. It never let me make a phone call more than 3-5 minutes.
What do u think guys? Is it because the modem or because I had a bad signal from operator? How can I find a solution for this kind of problem...
At the first time I thought it was just a bad signal. But it happened all the time when I had a long phone call
Thanks guys and will appreciated any explanation.
Happy New Year to u all

Urgent Help Required.

I know a lot of people will curse me for opening this thread but i really need help. I have searched and could not find my query resolved and i have no other choice left except to post here,
So my dad randomly gave me Galaxy Note (Indian version) today. I mean, this phone is 3 years old. Anyway, i have Sony Xperia L and Xperia SP as my daily drivers and flashing Roms, kernels is quite easy on them as i only require flashtool. I have never before used a samsung product. So, i do not have a clue on how to root it and flash CM/AOSP on it.
I searched quite a lot and came upon a rooting guides and Philz kernel but i have no idea what to do.
Any help would be appreciated, all i want to do is flash a custom Rom (CM 10.1, CM11)
Android 4.1.2 sucks on this beast.
Android: 4.1.2
Baseband: N7000DDLS6
Build No.: JZO54K.N7000DDLSC
UPDATE: So i flashed a .zip:- PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.11.2-signed and voila, i have root ;
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Regards,
Ishaan

Didn't you try the cm installer app?
Anyway once you have Philz kernel installed, you can flash the cm 10.1\10.2 zip from recovery. To flash cm 11 you will need to first install raw r4/5 kernel and then go with cm 11.

I appreciate your reply man
Yes I have his kernel the one I have named in the OP.
So I just need to flash cm10/10.1 from recovery?
No need to unlock bootloader or anything or flash a cm based kernel? :$

Ishaan

So i pretty much messed everything up.
I did as you said and download cyanogenmod installer on both my note and laptop. Everything was going fine and all files were downloaded.
But all of a sudden, CM installer on PC said something like device not found. And on note, there was the CM logo. So i pressed retry but the problem persisted.
So i turned of cm installer, removed battery from device and turned it on. Below the Samsung Galaxy note, there is a yellow triangle and after that the screen goes blank. No samsung or CM bootlogo.
I tried and i am able to get into recovery and download mode. What do i do guys? :'(
Just help me get back to stock and ill be happy.
Thanks in advance

N7000 does not have a lock bootloader at all.

EDIT: So flashed CM10.2 (4.3.1). Finally the phone is working. Flashed it manually through recovery.
Still getting the yellow error icon.
Only 2 things i require now,
How to get back on complete stock firmware? (4.1.2 INDIAN)
AND,
Remove the stupid error?
Thanks a lot Guys :'D

Thank you man
I flashed stock GB Indian version and even the triangle went away. So far so good.
Currently I am on Ultimate Rom v6 with speedmod kernel. The battery life is not impresive.
Any idea how to increase it? Any suggested rom or kernel?
Fyi- I'm using an original samsung battery. Bought a week ago so its brand new.

Why did you name this "Urgent Help Needed" when it obviously isn't urgent and doesn't say anything about what the problem concerns?
Since the battery is new then you should be getting at least 4h on screen time.

Start by finding issues using wake lock detector and then uninstalling or freezing apps.
