Hello guys!
I was wondering how should I go about flashing another ICS Rom. I am already on AOKP build 23. If I want to flash another rom do I just wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and install from SD card?
Also, to change a kernel do I just install from SD card?
Many thanks!!
its no difficult man
Just reading. No so difficult like he said.
erm, so is what i said correct?
Factory reset (which is the same as wipe) -> install from SD. Done.
Yes, you got it right. Also follow instruction for the specific rom you want to use.
If there are problems flash to stock with odin + repartition.
Restore and flash
I tried to flash slim rom from sharing rc 4.2.but failed to pass the kernel screen. Don't know what went wrong

Apologies, but since I am a new user, I was not allowed to post in the thread in developer section.
I had bought a pre owned phone, on Rocket ROM (GB based), however as S-Pen apps were not working I decided to go on the stock ICS rooted way.
I followed the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I had downloaded the stock INdian ROM
N7000XXKK3 ------ 2.3.5 2011 November------ N7000ODDKK1 ------------------------India -------------------------Download

I followed the steps, downloaded Odin, and put the TAR file in PDA section, and flashed. All goes fine without error, on the phone it says everything is installed successfully. However after the process the phone just keeps restarting after the Samsung logo.
Have I done anything wrong here? How do I rectify the mistake and get my phone working
Did you clear cache/dalvik or do a wipe in recovery menu ? Looks like it's stuck because of leftover data from previous rom

Umm, pardon my ignorance as I am migrating from an ancient Nokia device.
No, I had done no such thing, no backups too as I just had it for a few days and no data so to speak of.
Should I be doing a wipe in recovery menu? And doesn't flashing the device, formats the memory too?
I think it should, but for some reasons it does not. To get rid of boot loop, go into recovery and clear cache. Should boot properly then
Also, avoid doing a factory reset on stock ics. If clearing cache wont help, i'd suggest flashing gb stock rom, doing a wipe and then upgrading to ics as wiping under ics has caused people a lot of troubles.
Yes you should do a wipe of cache memory and dalvik cache. That is availible from recovery menu. And no they arent allways formatted when flashing a new rom.
To go into recovery, do this.
Device off > vol-up+home+power. And now you are in recovery mode.

Thanks, I had read up how much ever I could, and am pretty wary of the emmc bug. Thats the reason I am flashing to a GB based stock rom, and then the ICS stock rom.
The error I got earlier is by flashing to a Indian GB Stock ROM, should I yet clear cache memory in the recovery mode?
A little bit of googling tells me I should be flashing to a ROM with multiple files (different ones for PDA, Modem, CSC etc) hence I am also downloading the stock Europe based ROM. Now the query is would the stock Europe GB ROM, cause any issues to a Note bought in India?
Edit: I wiped the cache partition in recovery mode, but the bootloop persists. I will try flashing to the Europe GB ROM and update.
Thanks, folks was able to install the Europe stock GB ROM, which I later flashed to an Indian stock ICS ROM. I have rooted the phone by a very helpful guide by Dr Ketan, however I miss some of the functions available to me on the rocket GB based ROM. Especially an option to have a data on/off option in quick notifications.
What is the purpose of rooting the stock ROM? Can I delete the bloatware that comes pre-installed on the stock ROM, once the phone is rooted? If yes how?
Any safe custom ICS ROM's you guys recommend? If I am right the correct way right now seems to be to flash a safe GB based ROM everytime before you flash an ICS ROM? Correct?
Last but not the least, thanks to the folks who replied and guided me in the thread, XDA is a very resourceful place, if you search it thoroughly.
About notification toggles - they are available in some roms, in others - not.
As far as rooting is concerned - yes, you can delete almost all the bloatware. There is a thread with APKs that are safe to remove - check it out and feel free to delete everything you won't be using. How ? Simple file explorer with root capabilities will do. Here's the list, thanks to pulser_g2:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
Safe custom ICS ROMs - I'd say go for CM9. For me, AOSP is the only way to go with Android. If you want TouchWiz based roms, however, can't really help cause i've never used them - there are plenty in development section though.
Nope, you don't need to flash GB ROM everytime. The problem with wipe affects only stock ICS roms ( so with stock-kernel based roms from Samsung, yeah, that's recommended ). But if you're going to flash/change/update roms like CM9, Criskelo etc. there is no need to go back to GB everytime.
Hi i was on ICS stunner and flash via PC Odin Stock GB rom.

Download abyss from the following site:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar
Flash the file with PC odin then reboot into abyss recovery. You can then do the wipe.

Hello, I am new on forum and just discovered about setting new ROMs on my cellphone (its a Galaxy Ace S5830), then I instantly installed CM9 ICS, but now I wanted to install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583871...
The question is:
Can I install an lower ROM version? What I need to do?
I use the CWM 5.0 and when I try to format everything (cache/data/system/sd-ext), it gives an error on "sd-ext", then anyway I reboot the system and start on CWM 5.0 again, and click on "install update from sdcard" and select the ROM in zip mode of course, then it gives and "Installation aborted"...
for safety I don't want to try other things without consult other people's experience and as I am with my computer on the maintenance I don't have much time for running around searchings about this...
Thank you if you can help...
Cya;
err, may be you should mount data and system before flashing the zip..
Go back to stock rom with odin then try to reflash again using cwm but only wiping, data + cache + dalvik cache
Sent from my GALAXY Ace.
I don't think you need to go back to stock for flashing cm7 over cm9,you are already on ext file system, just do a complete wipe(leave sd-ext if you don't have an ext partition on your sd card), also wipe cache and dalvik cache, then mount data and system and flash the cm7 rom.
That should do the job. Although don't act on my comment yet, wait for a senior member to approve of my statement here, i am a noob too.
P.S. Go for Apocalypse rom, both miracle and apocalypse are made by itasoulas but apocalypse is very new and very awesome rom.

Hi everyone,
Newbie posting here.. I've had my share of flashing Roms a few times (say 4 or 5 times) but i stuck with cm 7.2 when they released the stable mod for the i9000.
Now i see that the cm9 stable mod has been released and i definitely want to try that out however, I'm not sure on how to go about it and I don't want to do anything stupid. Don't get me wrong, i've tried reading around through different sites and forums but all the mix and match methods of flashing and installing has gotten me confused..
My main question is, how do i flash to cm9 from cm 7.2? naturally i have cwm installed and can boot into cwm recovery. Am on the XXJVK baseband with the pawitp kernel. Not sure if i have to donwload new drivers (since the base ROM is going to change)...
Do i just place the zip file for the cm9 mod in the internal sd storage? could you guys help me out and let me know if this process is correct:
1) save zip file in internal storage (both cm9 and gapps)
2) do a nandroid backup
3) boot into recovery
4) wipe data and dalvik cache
5) install the package
6) wipe data and dalvik cache
7) install gapps
8) reboot
Once it boots up, i'm assuming it'll be running cm9 already.. could you guys help me out and let me know if this procedure's correct? sorry for the noob question but i'd rather just make sure and ask you guys first.
thanks in advance guys! cheers and more power!

wipe date
wipe cache
wipe delvik cache
then flash rom nd gapps
wipe cache nd delvik cache again.. good luck..
Best and most reliable way to do this is flashing through stock rom via Odin. Then flashing kernel with CWM Recovery via Odin. And only then flash CM9 via CWM.
thanks for the quick reply guys. will try it out tonight and update this post. hope all goes well.
cheers!

and if u want u can try chimera rom from team passion.. it s combination of cm9 and AOKP.. It s stable and fast..
took me less than 10 minutes to flash to cm9 and it's as snappy as i thought it was. now to fix up everything and check if everything's okay.
so far, wifi and network signal are working fine and dandy. might just have a go at that chimera rom.
So, this is what happened. I first upgraded to the latest official JB 4.1.2 XXLSA firmware. I noticed that it still wasn't as fast as I'd like, and wanted to try a custom ROM instead. I read through the guides in here and get that I have to downgrade to a GB ROM first in order for me not to hardbrick my phone. So, I download "N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries" from that list over stock ROM's in the Q&A root guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 . I follow the flashing guide to the letter, puts my phone in download mode, runs the flash via Odin, the phone restarts, and everything goes south. Basically this happens: When I start my phone it get's to the point in the GB initial startup where I'm to touch the Android to start, but then all it does is throw messages at me about this service and that service having stopped responding, untill the phone reboots. So now I have reflashed back to the JB ROM.
So basically, what am I doing wrong, and what can I do to make a proper downgrade so I can get rooted, install CWM and get down and get it on with some custom ROM's?
Thx in advance!
Same happened with me. I flashed GB and was getting force close messages. But not a big problem. Just flash GB rom again. And after flashing just delete all user data from recovery and reboot. U wont get those messages any more.

You always need to WIPE data / factory reset after downgrading from JB .. GB is safe to go ahead.. if you choose ICS then first flash a safe kernel and then do wipe
It seems to me that KK5 is non wipe, which explains why you got those messages. The rest is detailed in nokiamodeln91's message BTW, JB is still not official for our Notes. What you installed was a leak with a safe kernel (if it was Philz).

Exactly.
I had this issue too when downgrading to GB. Wipe Cache and Dalvik and you should be ok from then on.
Wow. A lot of replies in just a single day. You guys are awesome
Now you say that the KK5 is non-wipe. Are there any GB-roms which are wipe, so to speak? Or do I have to do the flash to GB, enter recovery, wipe cache partition and do wipe/factory reset, then reboot into a now working phone, set up for root with USB and so forth, root and install CWM, copy the custom ROM to my SD-card (gonna go for ParanoidAndroid) as well as Google services if I want those, and then install them via CWM/Mobile Odin?

GB LC1 is wipe. But if you want PA (which is an excellent choice) just flash a CM10 kernel in your recovery (if your recovery is safe, like GB for example). Then follow Utacka's instructions for the installation.
But if I want CWM I should do root and install CWM there? And then flash the custom ROM from CWM?

The CM10 kernel comes with its own recovery where you can flash from. If you have root issues, just flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip. In any case don't flash from stock ICS with CMW.zip: if you are on ICS and not rooted flash the relevant Philz kernel (which is safe and will give you root and CWM) then the CM10 kernel.
Edit: what ROM do you have now?
I use the 4.1.2 XXLSA ROM
Btw, anyone knows where I can download the Google Services Framework so I can install it alongside Paranoid Android? I have been led to believe it's not included as per default
Thx for all the replies!!
If you have downloaded the xxlsa rom then it's inside the rom zip file. Path system/app/GoogleServicesFramework

Hi all,
I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong place but as a newbie I cannot post in the thread of the ROM I have trouble with.
So, atm I'm trying to flash Alliance ROM Final ICS to my N7000 but I'm having some troubles with it. I have followed all of the instruction correctly, I have tried installing it either via ROM Customizer or CWM.
With ROM Customizer: when I was trying to flash the zip file then the phone reboot and takes me to the recovery window with error notification.
With CWM: After flashing the kernel (I tried both with Speedmod 3-13 and also Hydracore 4.3b STD), reboot to recovery, wipe data/factory, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik, and then flash the ROM zip file. The ROM installed and says it finish. Then I choose go back and reboot the system. However, instead of continuing to install and to show Alliance bootanimation, the ROM that actually loaded is my old ROM which is Chrack 14 (also with Chrack bootanimation).
So basically, even though it looks like that the ROM successfully being installed, the fact is it failed. It looks like that this Chrack ROM very persistent to be uninstalled from my phone
Do you guys have any ideas what's happening here and what could be the problem?
FYI, my current ROM is Chrack 14 with Speedmod 3-13 as the kernel.
I really need your help guys. Believe me, I won't hesitantly ask you questions if I haven't read and follow instruction which are given by the developer of the ROM about how to install it correctly.:cyclops:
Really appreciate any inputs or solutions for my problems.
Thanks in advance guys.
boot into recovery and go to mounts and storage > then format system,data and cache. this will clear up the old rom. then try to install Alliance again.
Note: this will erase the system partition and there will be no rom to boot with if the install of new rom failed. so make sure you put all the required files in the phone before doing the formats. also to be extra prepared another rom may be.
Thanks for the reply. Uhm, what's the risk should it failed to flash the new ROM? And what will be the solution should it really fails at the end?
Is there any other safer options and maybe anyone can explain the possibilities that causing my current problem?
Also what do you mean by "the required files" here? And where i should put the files? In the internal memory or sd card?

Not much.. only you need to install a different rom or boot into download mode and flash a stock rom using PC odin

i mean the files required to flash the rom.. and CWM can flash from both storages so it really doesnot matter
