You don't seem to be rooted and seem to be on a LA4 rom which is not directly rootable.
Follow this guide step by step to downgrade first and then root your rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Once you have root and CWM installed you can flash different roms.
Yeah you can flash the ICS repack via Mobile Odin Pro
Yeah before flashing a ICS rom you are advised to flash the ICS repack first.
You can flash ICS repack from the CF kernel or any other custom kernel but not with the stock kernel.
If you need to go to gingerbread you can download the GB rom and flash it in recovery. (before doing so just make sure of the kernel first...in some ICS roms the default kernel (recovery too) will not allow zips to be flashed...so you need to flash a different kernel (recovery too) before flashing a GB rom )
thank you so much.
as i stated this phone was traded to me
i do believe it is rooted tho...one way im sure of this is just i have SU access to everything also i have the CWM app installed on the phone. in the app it says the kernel is CF-ROOT 5.0
idk which kernel that is or if i have to change it to do anything else?
If you need to go to gingerbread you can download the GB rom and flash it in recovery. (before doing so just make sure of the kernel first...in some ICS roms the default kernel (recovery too) will not allow zips to be flashed...so you need to flash a different kernel (recovery too) before flashing a GB rom )
on this just so i know!
once i use the repack i can still flash GB roms without having to do some other type of repack? and are all CF root kernels flashable to any rom?
Well then you are good to go. You can choose the rom you want to go for. Read the instructions there (in the thread of that rom).....they will advise you to flash the ICS repack first so do that and flash their rom after wiping and clearing caches and dalvik.
Have a great roming day (lol i just made that up)
Cheers!! Hit thanks if it helped

Yeh you can use any GB roms. No repack of any other kind is required to revert to GB.
Just some change of kernels.
Thank you thank you and hit button couple times for you!!

Here you go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1349
Just make sure you are choosing the correct rom thread. Read carefully some roms will say its ICS themed...so those are still GB roms with ICS theme-ing over them.

Hi,
I finally got a Samsung Galaxy S after finding a great a deal on it. I'm aware that there are several ways on how to root this device. However, due to that I don't know which to use.
Currently I'm running on 2.2.1 Froyo XXJPY with Kernel Version of [email protected] #1.
I'm not totally clueless about rooting as I've done it already on my HTC Wildfire.
Could someone please advise me which is the most up-to-date and safest method of rooting? Link would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm a bit confused about installing ROMs. I used to use CWM on my HTC Wildfire which was incredebly easy to do. Would it be the same on my Galaxy S?
I'm planning to test out MIUI, DarkysROM and such ROMs. Would these ROMs have the LAGFIX feature integrated in them as well?
I apologise if a thread like this has already been posted a thousand times but I just can't come up with a definite answer.
Thanks in advance.
I have a galaxy s Vibrant the I9000M and I rooted and unlocked mine today using SuperOneCick and then The Galaxy s unlock by helroz on the app market took a grand total of 6 minutes
Thank you! Now, that's one down.
Now just want to know about flashing ROMs e.g. MIUI, DarkyROM and such.
Do I need to root my SGS first to be able to flash custom ROMs?
I also noticed that you would also have to flash firwares and kernels. Do I need to this before flashing custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance.
In order to flash a custom rom you need to have clockworkmod (CWM) recovery.
and from that its easy
As for the newer rom's here, they are all 2.3.x, so in order to get from 2.2.1 JPY, you will need to flash a stock rom 2.3.x with bootloaders via Odin.
use this link to read about odin and flashing with it. its a great guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
to find stock rom's - they are in the general section. and custom rom's in the dev section.
read a little and after that have fun!!
And keep in mind every rom has its little guide, read those before you flash any.
Hi,
Many thanks for replying. Can I follow the video below made by a fellow XDA member direct from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 via Odin?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lO3Y86N2p0&feature=BFa&list=FLqhM0qK4aVsLmWAA_YYhBCA&lf=mh_lolz
So I will Download stock JVQ from Samfirmware > Download Odin > Flash a stock 2.3.4 JVQ > Install chosen Kernel with CWM > Flash chosen ROM using CWM.
When would I need root then?
Is that right?
This reminds me when I had my Samsung Tocco. Pretty much same procedures.

That is right... basically when you flash a kernel with CWM you get root access. it's one of the features of a custom kernel. some of them activate it on there own and in some you need to activate it your self from the recovery (very simple).
And all the custom rom's come with root access, so in following the steps you wrote, you will get the root access with the custom kernel, and again in the custom rom.
Thanks for everyone's help. I'm now running Armetris 3.6.1 with Semaphore Kernel.
Just a question though, with my phone rooted, lagfix enabled, flashed with custom ROM and such, can I just simply go back to stock ROM? e.g. JVQ/JVR using Odin without any problems?
It is suggested to disable lagfix before changing rom's and kernel's
I know some how would say it is not a must when you use odin, but i always disable it before doing changes. I like to keep it safe.
sorry for this nooob question....
new to the samsung gt i9000, do i need to create a gold card before i do anything else????
sorry to be a bit thick but im used to htc
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently running on Semaphore Kernel but I can't find any Lag Fix option on my phone? There isn't any on CWM Recovery as well.
I thought when you use EXT4 and convert it, Lag Fix would show up but I found nothing, so I just converted back to RFS.
So, I'm fine to directly go back to 2.3.4 JVQ even even I have a custom Kernel and custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If you used the EXT4 app and converted to RFS then you have disabled the lagfix.
The lagfix changes the filesystem from RFS to EXT4. so when you converted to RFS yoh disabled it.
So,yes you are good to go.

Gold card?? what??
Also, If I were to flash a JVS Based ROM do I need to be on stock JVS and a JVS Kernel to flash it?
Once on I'm on JVS custom ROM can I just go back again to JVQ stock (Older firmware) without problems?
Really appreciate all your help Bork84!
Basically using odin you can change to JVS and JVQ no problem.
As far as custom rom, from what I know it does not matter on which 2.3.x you are, thay all have the same bootloders. so technically you dont need to be on stock JVS to flash a JVS custom rom.
but I am not an expert on that.
from my experience, i flashed to a JVR (2.3.4) custom rom via CWM from a 2.3.3 stock rom, and didn't had any problems.
So i cant give you a 100% answer

th rom ur talking abt is tw based? vl it hv premium suite apps?
What I recommend, based on what I did:
- Download the leaked German official ROM (about 600-700Mb), .tar.md5 file and put into your phone's sd-card.
- Install Mobile Odin Pro from Play Store (need to pay. there's free version too, but I suggest you pay for Pro, safer).
- In M. Odin, open the .tar.md5 file, and press flash. (if you don't mind wiping, best to also check the wipe options).
I didn't wipe, and then it couldn't boot.
So I booted into recovery, and wiped data/factory reset and cache, then it booted fine.
Still had root.
Then I installed CF-Kernel. Go to the Dev thread and scroll down till you see the GT...LPY version and download that zip. Unzip to take out the .tar file, copy to sd-card.
Use Mobile Odin to open it, and then flash. It will flash the kernel, and then you will have ClockworkMod recovery so that you can backup/restore ROMs again.
(Note: You can actually do the above in one single step, but opening the CF kernel file after you open the ICS file, so that everything else points to the ICS file except the kernel points to CF Kernel.)
Hit the THANKS button if this helps any of you!

The kernel is pretty much always included in the.zip, if you want to change from the ROM kernel to another, then usually just a case of using a cleaning script, or manually clearing cache/dalvik and a couple of others (init.d & Ns tools usually) and flash away

You have to burn GB stock-rom 2.3 with odin first !!!
after you finish you need gb kernel like semaphore 1.8 also burn with odin (give the stock root).

Afaik you don't need gb bootloader to flash to ics, (see slim website) however it is a good idea to in case you want to revert to gb, but in that case it is easier just to flash the boot loader....see nitr8s ezboot thread
Hi, I know it's been a really long time of the thread but what I know ALWAYS FLASH THE ROM FIRST AND THEN THE KERNEL
Im just stating here that I will generally know what you are talking about, im not a noob when it comes to android modding/roms/rooting, however i have always been worried with my note because ive seen lots of threads on devices being bricked.
basically i want to root my note, get CWM recovery onto it, and then flash whatever ROM/s i choose, without getting my phone bricked in the process.
i want someone to advise me on the best way to go about this whole thing, thankyou!
my device:
Samsung galaxy note (not sure if international or not, i bought from kogan.com.au, i live in australia, and have a telstra sim in it, however i think kogan ships the intl model)
android version: 4.0.3 ICS (stock)
baseband: N7000XXLPT
KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
BUILD NUMBER: IML74K.XXLPY
carrier: telstra (prepaid, and phone is unlocked)
the main confusion i have here is finding the correct threads for my kernel version, however i couldnt find what i wanted, and was unsure of which was safest, so thanks all for helping me out!

Hello Good Dr. I am about to try rooting via method 1.Rooting with stock recovery. After this am i correct in saying I should flash notecore kernel ? I would be using Mobile Odin to do this as I dont have Windows PC.
What would be safest method to get to ParanoidAndroid JB or CM10 JB from there ? After the Kernel is flashed. Would I have to downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom first then flash ParanoidAndroid ? So your method 1 > flash kernel > downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom > ParanoidAndroid ?
Kind Thanks.
If you want to downgrade to prerooted rom then no need to get root, except you have no option to use pc. In this condition just root n use mobile odin to flash prerooted rom. After successful flashing wipe cache n data and flash cusyom ROM.

So please just to clarify Dr.ketan. If I follow your method 1 to root my ICS Note and then I flash safe notecore kernel via Mobile Odin then I could flash ANY custom rom ? No need to flash a pre-rooted GB rom ? If this is correct would I need to wipe cache and data before flashing custom rom ? Please could you clarify which cache I should wipe ?
Thank you very much.
[Resolved via DM. Thanks Dr.Katan]
After flashing note core.you can.flash custom rom if that is ics based.
Otherwise i recommend to flash preroored gb rom first and wipe all (cache,data and delvic cache)

Can I flash pre-rooted gb rom with mobile odin ? do I need a tar file or will it work with zip ? or should I use recovery mode and a zip ?

Mobile odin can't flash zip.recovery.files. You can flash tar file, and prerooted gb rom is in tar. You can use mobile odin for that

Hello dear friends,

1) I'm planning to root+CWM my n7000 and also (and finally) want to flash CM9.1 (stable) on it. Right now I'm on GB 2.3.6 (not directly rootable) it's ZSLA2... for what I understand from Dr. Ketan's rooting guide is that I have to first downgrade the device flashing a pre-rooted+CWM'ed GB ROM from Chainfire..... ok, no problem.... but, my main question is: once I already have this pre-rooted gingerbread rom, can I (must I) do a hard reset/wipe prior to flash a custom rom?... and, can I FINALLY and DIRECTLY flash the CM9.1 + Gapps files from that chainfire's gingerbread rom version/kernel?... or do I have to upgrade again to a new GB ROM and then flash the CM?.... or even further: do I have to upgrade to a newer GB ROM then to an ICS ROM and only then I would can flash the CM file??....
2) The obligated dumb question: Once I finally flash CM9.1 ROM, it's a must (or a recommended practice) to flash a safe kernel like Franco, Speedmod, Notecore (for safety and/or performance)??
Thank you for your time! cheers

1. always advisable to do all three wipes ( data , cache, dalvik) in CWM if you are on GB and planning to flash another rom from there.
--- yes, you can directly go from pre-rooted Gb to CM 9.1 with g apps
--- when you are on CM and want to go to a custom ics then best to follow the method specified in opening post of the rom thread by developer. all CM kernels are safe to wipe and flash from generally...
2 . Franco , notecore, speedmod are all Touchwiz kernels. a CM rom will not boot with it, its not compatible.there are other CM kernels available that you can use with it, refer kernel repository by Chasmodo

TW and Cm roms have varied/different and many simillar features
you must read through the rom threads for identifying them and choose your rom accordingly
I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it by searching.
I'm running 4.0.4 rooted, and would like to unroot it since I have to take my Note to be fixed on warranty. I rooted with temporary CWM and because it's considered to be dangerous now, can I run the Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip from Dr. Ketan's root/unroot thread from stock recovery ?
Just wanted to make sure before I do anything stupid. And yes, I know I could flash to stock GB, wipe and flash to stock ICS but if I could unroot straight from recovery it would be a lot easier. Thanks in advance.
Yes you can, but remember if you have flashed custim kernel then first replace with stock. As well if you have update supersu from market, then first uninstall that from setting -appl -all

You are on safe kernel so can flash custom roms directly using cwm. But to avoid any issue best is to flash pre-rooted GB rom using odin and then flash any custom rom you like.
My personal fav are Kingdroid, Criskelo and there is no why, I like them does not means others will like them too, it's just matter of personal choice as all roms are almost equally good .

Thanks for the reply jeetu1981. Is there a certain Pre Rooted GB ROM that I should use to flash? Or do I download a GB rom and THEN root it? Do I use PC odin or Mobile odin? Seems that since I'm on a safe kernel can I just install a rom using a zip, wiping everything and still be safe? Would that be easier or do you recommend I just flash the GB rom first?

Look at my sig. for pre rooted GB, flash it via odin. For better performance GB is recommended but you can flash any custom rom directly as well (being on safe kernel), try it and if you see any lags or issues in performance then do a fresh flash
And yes, wipe is safe on CM and safe custom TW ics kernels. And I would have directly flashed another rom in this situation

Looks like the Stunner ROM thread is dead here. I'm on stunner rom 1.6.26 (kernel version3.0.32-CM-g12ef675) and I want to get on another rom. What all do I have to do in order to get off of Stunner rom safely? What roms would you recommend that I move too and why?

there are two ways..
First
Flash a gb rom or prerooted gb rom via pcodin or mobile odin
Or
As you are on stunner which uses a safe kernel just go to recovery,do wipes,flash rom and reboot.as simple as that...
