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

Hi all. I rooted my 2.3.5 note and all was fine until I updated to 2.3.6 via kies. In "about phone" in settings it still mentions root however Superuser doesn't work, nor will Titanium Backup. I used Dr Ketan's guide to root ( thanks Dr ) have tried to unroot and reroot but nothing appears to work. Otherwise phone is functioning fine. Can some kind soul help me sort my issue out please?

2.3.5 and 2.3.6 is not sufficient to describe ROM
what rom you were using first which was rooted, N wat ROM you have got updated
Describe Baseband version
Kernel version
from setting - about phone
And it is naturally when you update via kies, you will lose Root
You have to ReRoot, n that depends on which ROM you are having Now
Update
It seems that SU binary files have gone missing! Reinstalling Superuser has had no effect - Doh. Still need help!
Hi Dr.
Original baseband N7000DXKJ3 now N7000DXKL2
Original kernel N7000DXKK1 now N7000DXKL3

Ya many time i have seen this strange things happens in KL3, it reacts just like KL7/8/LA1, which are non rootable.
Once hard reset device and try to Root, if not success then Reflash to Old ROM
You will get Root easily on that.
Get Mobile Odin Pro from market, then Flash KL3 with Mobile Odin, n keep option 'Ever Root'Enabled.
Thanks for the quick response. I only wanted root to enable me to use Titanium Backup so I could freeze all the bloatware etc. I didn't want to use mobile Odin so if I had to send back my phone I could unroot it without affecting the flash counter or whatever it is, and have no probs with samsung service. As it stands phone works ok and bloatware still frozen but unable to unroot if I do have to return it. Also if I hard reset do I lose all my data? I was using Titanium to backup but that is obviously no longer working. Is there any way to restore SU binary files?
Kind Regards

if not mistaken, u can use USB Jig to reset that flash counter.
How can I reflash old rom when i cant use a root app and kies doesn't have an option to revert to old rom?

Read second link of my signature, Stock ROM for N7000
You just get old ROM from there and flash it with PC Odin.
These are Stock ROM, it wont give you yellow triangle or raised counter

Yes hard reset will erase all data
No other way without Root
Mobile Odin wont raise binnary counter
Any time you can back to stock(for warranty purpose) by flashing stock ROM with PC odin
As it is often mentioned that the KL7 is not directly rootable, I was wondering if in the near future it will be? I'd hate to flash my Note as I've already set up things the way I like (for now!). Just want to add some stuff, like titanium and ubuntu, that needs root.
@toadski how was your flashing of the old FW?

If you want custom rom then you need root, otherwise you hav to use pc odin, which will raise flash counter n you will lose warranty, n that needs JIG hardware to reset.
You have option to flash any stock ROM, above said link is best choice to download stock ROM. You will find installation guide on same thread, post #2 n 3.
Btw i m in india n using latest German ROM la4 n is much stable.

Hi Dr. Ketan. Thanks for your reply. I don't want to lose warranty and I don't want to rooting the device. I want to install latest stable samsung official stock ROM which may be available in another country. In that scenario what will be the recommended steps?

Install Latest version of Kies.
download the Stock ROM from the above link (i prefer LA4)
extract it and you ll find one .md5 file
download Odin from same link
attach downloaded .md5 file to PDA tab
in Odin make sure Re-Partition is UN-ticked and do not select any pit file. rest of them let it be.
now turn off your device
restart in download mode by pressing Volume down + home + Power after that just press volume up to confirm download mode
connect Device to PC via data cable (now you can see yellow block in Odin)
now press Start and wait for complete boot.
Thats it....
(Flashing this ROM will not erase any DATA)

In that case also, you can have XXLA4 german ROM, which counts as most stable stock ROM.
Ranjan.alva have gave you a link, just above this post, follow it, you can get installation guide, How to flash ROM with odin on same thread post#2
EDIT : Ranjan have already edited his post n made easy for you. just follow it. still you have any doubt, you will get image guide on same thread post # 2
Thanks a lot both of you. Now I have one question if I upgrade to XXLA4 German ROM weather I will get future update (like ICS) via OTA? Or every time I need to install updated firmware via KIES or Odin?
And after upgrading to XXLA4 german ROM if I want to go back to the earlier stock ROM (XXL3) which already installed how can I do that?

M posting new guide in evening about how to update rom, stay tuned to my development section thread ' how to root ....'
If you install LA4, you wont get update over OTA or even with Kies, you have to update it with odin.
The way which you will update la4, same way with odin you can revert back to xxkl3

Does anyone have a suggestion how to root a Note with version N7000XXLA6?
For your information:
- SuperOneClick don't work.
- DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit) don't work.
Any suggestions?!?

As I read in this post, you have to flash an older stock rom, root it, then flash the new stock rom using mobile-odin with keep root option on.
Text from the post:
"As New ROMs are not direct rootable, you cant root it direct method like Zergrush exploit or CF-Root, If you want such new ROMs Rooted, You shud have currant Older ROM installed, If you are not rooted and flashed Newer ROM, first downgrade to older ROM as above said.then you may update n Root it with one of following two methods."
XXLA6
i want also root my note
Baseband Version : N7000XXLA4
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
KERNEL: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341 [email protected]#2
anyone how and what to use
As jellevanb wisely stated... This thread holds the answers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I was on La6, flashed KKA with PC Odin, then used CF-Root for KKA (props to Chainfire for his amazing work) then flashed LA6 on-device using CWM Manager that was installed with CF-Root. Now I have La6 with root
I also was on LA6, flashed AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar with PC Odin then used CF-Root-SGN_XX_SER_LA6-v5.0-CWM5. It worked for me.
The easiest way to gain root would be this:

Im currenly using SGN GT-N7000,
Android Version : 2.3.6

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?

1. YES
2. YES, unless going from gb to ics custom. You can flash abyss 4.2, reboot recovery then flash
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.
