[Q] Aussie Note - need some pointers on root and kernel versioning

Hey all,
new to the GNote forums, but been playing with android for some time now.
Just needing some tips on the way to gain rooted GB on my note.
im not super interested in getting ICS yet....but could be swayed
From what i can tell, i need to odin flash a pre-rooted gb rom (in particular an LC1 version of the rom) and then to flash a LC1 version of the kernel to suit. Sound about right?
My current plan is to
1. flash LC1 Open Europe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025 with PC odin
2. flash LC1 kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 with flasher included in download
3. enjoy rooted phone.
My phone is currently stock (only got it a day ago) and am on Optus in Australia. I am running the following spec according to "settings/about phone"
Android 2.3.6
BBand N7000XXLB2
Kernel 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701
Build GINGERBREAD.XXLC1
does my plan above sound right for this phone?
I'm well versed in flashing phones, but coming over from the X10 its a very different technique and there are lots of different files to match up that im just not 100% on yet
cheers guys, already super happy to be a samsung user - love the note!

I have a French note from Kogan that I've had for a couple of months. I just updated to ICS via Odin last night and then rooted it. I'm on Telstra here in oz. It seems ok and the internet seems faster and more stable but I'll know more after a full week of use. Its my first Samsung so although I had rooted phones before I was a bit nervous about using Odin and the brick bug terrified me.

Yes your plan sounds right - follow Dr Ketan's thread in the Development forum.
I bought a Note via UK - turned out to be Polish (it was one of the first released last November). I rooted it using Zergrush then always used CWM, so while Odin works I prefer to use Clockwork Mod as I can do all the flashing on the phone.
Some other things that may help..
I'm on Telstra and never (touch wood) had any modem / Nexg G/Wi-fi issues)
On Gingerbread I found AbyssNote kernel to be one of the best (everyone uses 4.2 version when flashing to ICS so you may find it useful to download) Not sure what my original baseband was but have used others and they all seem to be ok - maybe I'm just lucky!
Also Rocket Rom on Gingerbread and ICS seems to be reliable as well.
So if you feel the need to ICS - use the above kernel and ROM and follow instructions on RocketRom OP.
Haven't found a dedicated kernel or firmware version for the Australian Note, but since I'm on Polish one so far everything seems to work.
Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of the Galaxy Note - had it over eight months and never tire of it

thanks guys!
i took the plunge the other night - i figured that i had read as much as i could read and just dove in.
First up i Odin flashed a pre-rooted rom (LC1).
That was nice for a little while, but i wanted more
I then flashed the CF Root kernel on so i could have CWM. This was nice, i was able to take a nand backup so i could always go back to stock if i needed to.
Now, i was getting the hang of the methods for this phone. I used CWM to flash on CheckRom v6 (GB) but i really wanted to go for ICS.
I read that as i was on a non standard kernel GB rom, i could go straight there. Guess what? thats what i did next
Im currently running Paranoid Android v0.5 and am loving it!
Loving the Note, it makes my work iPhone 4 feel more and more redundant each day

[Q] SGN Rooted. Which ROM now?

Hey, Sorry for the Noob question but I rooted my Note a couple of days ago (Still a Newbie) and was wondering which ROMs would be best to flash now.
I've been using the rooted phone but I couldn't find much of a difference in performance or anything. Actually, I don't even know how or what to remove to increase performance and battery life.
So if you guys could just help me out with this it would be real Helpful!
Question :
Which ROM is the easiest to work with? Since I'm a newbie I have a whole lot of chance that I might just do something stupid and end up with a Hard-bricked phone.
Any help is appreciated..!
Once again, I apologize for being a noob. I haven't really learned a lot about android phone since this is my first!

The first thing I'm going to ask you is, what is your current installed ROM? Stock GB or stock ICS?
If it's still in stock GB (2.3.6), I was using CheckRom Revo HD.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQGdSuJBgRA
This video gives you some overview on what that ROM is capable of. (Video courtesy of the original maker: aphroditelikesme)
It gives you some customization while giving you a boost in your battery life. Please read and read on the appropriate forums here in xda on how to install and use this ROM (if you want to)
Now if you want to upgrade to ICS stock 4.0, then can upgrade your ROM thru the standard way, OTA or thru PC KIES. Either way, your phone gets updated with the official firmware and remains rooted still. You may want to check www.samfirmware.com for new official ICS firmware of your region.
On my personal note, I reckon ICS gives me much better life than when I was using GB. Don't forget to install the indispensable tools like Titanium backup so that you can freeze or uninstall samsung's bloatwares there by releasing some needed rams on your phone's memory and also increasing some juices on it.
Hope that helps bud and wish all the best!
Cheers!
PS. Don't forget the 'Thank' button if I have helped you in some way or the other..

Firstly, Thanks! I could use all the help I get!
Now, coming to the point. I am running Rooted Stock ICS 4.0.3 XXLP8.
Yes, I have installed Titanium Backup and have freezed some of the unusable Samsung applications which always kept running and slowed down my phone..!
I might flash GB for some custom ROM but I would prefer keeping it on ICS cause flashing GB and then some ROM would put me at a higher risk of bricking the phone.
Could you suggest some ICS based ROMs which might be easy for a first timer to handle?
I can flash other ROMs later when I am confident enough not to brick my phone.

Well, sorry to break your bubble bud but I'm not an ardent fan of custom ICS ROMS. I prefer the stock one for now. Personally Touchwiz ain't that bad (in my opinion).
Since your still using 4.0.3, try to just consider upgrading it to 4.0.4. By the way I am already on 4.0.4.
There are tons of stock firmwares for 4.0.4, depending on where your from. Try to use a kernel that's pretty much close to stock itself. I'm currently using SpeedMod v3.9 for now and I must say, From the stock kernel that I was using before (CF root LRG 4.0.4), the battery life on my phone have increased tremendously.
Now if you really still want to try out some other custom ROMS, you can try to read and read on this development thread here or get some reviews from other users as well.
JellyBean is almost a working ROM but I still prefer the stock 4.0.4 ICS one..why? let's just say I prefer to use my Note's 'all' features working and using it as a daily driver.
Cheers!

I don't think 4.0.4 is out in India yet (It wasn't there the last time I checked). I'll still keep checking in from time to time though and upgrade as soon as possible.
If I were to stay on 4.0.3 can I still use the SpeedMod v3.9 kernel you're talking about? Also, I could really use a link on how to flash the new kernel as you might have figured out by now, I'm a Newbie

You can flash DXLRG (open germany) or the latest one (DXLRK) to just upgrade it to 4.0.4
For Asian release, I heard there's one already for SingTel but I'm not sure though if it comes with an Indian language pack on it.
Anyway, if you just want to stay on 4.0.3, YES you can still use SpeedMod kernel.** http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-note-ics-download.html
Download the kernel to your SD card (internal or external)
Now since your rooted, download Mobile Odin, run it, grant access thru Superuser and go to the kernel section inside Mobile Odin pro and look for the kernel that you earlier saved from the download.
After that, just tap on flash firmware (inside Mobile Odin still) and that would restart your phone and once booted, you now have a new kernel already.

[Q] faria custom rom

Hello guys im new to the forum.
I use stock unrooted 4.1.2 JB on my I8190 but I am a little bit disappointed because it slows down sometimes and I'm willing to install Faria's [ROMS][JZ054K.I9190.XXAMA1][4.1.2-Jelly-bean] [26.01.2013] V5.1.
Link
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074514
I'd like to ask some basic questions:
1. Is there any step by step guide?
2. Will I be able to restore my stock 4.1.2 and all apps if I dont like it or decide to go for further official upadets?
3. Can I download official firmware via OTA or KIES in the future?
4. Will I lose my warranty?
5. I need to be sure that I will not lose any of my preinstalled apps, I am busy lately and browsing play store consumes time.
I used to 'play' a little with my old Motorola Milestone so I was jumping between custom roms. Have some experience.
I'd really appreciate if somebody helped me.
Cheers.

1. Its availabe on faria's thread only, under how to flash section
2. You can always revert everything back. Refer this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159660 Thanks to samersh72
3. With Faria's Rom 5.1 i dont think update through kies is possible. But the Rom status is official. You can flash the update or try OTA.
4. Play with your device at your risk. Make sure you follow correct steps. Learn more before you try. Warranty can be gained by reverting everything.
Thanks to Chainfire(TriangleAway),Faria,Benzonator,Shaan,Infected,Tyson and all S3 mini developers for making it possible.
5. Roms have un-necessary apps removed. Remember to take backup of everything in yo device before proceeding for anything. For missing apps, always playstore or restore ya backup

Thank you for quck reply
And question for my consideration: how would rate stock firmware and Faria's one in scale 1-10? And how firmware update affects your using experience?

I'm on Faria V5.1 ROM too. Is a good custom ROM, but still original Samsung based. I don't like the official ROM, it have a lot of bloatware, not really quick, and not really smooth... So...
Stock ROM - a poor 3!
Faria V5.1 ROM - a good 7!
I hope one day we'll get CM for the mini!

[Q] Going to flash to a safe rom on my Note GT-N7000 on 4.0.4 but i have questions

Hi Everyone
After waiting for a year now and it seems that Samsung didn't released any newer updates for my Note GT-N7000 at my country. I was hoping for them to release an update to prevent that "MMC_CAP_ERASE bug? that causes hardbrick" that i have been hearing around here..
But now i got tired of waiting and Now I want to try to root/flash to a safe custom rom, Since i am currently having some problems with my Note now. It's acting a little weird like apps not functioning properly and deleting a small MB file on Internal Memory it takes very long to get it deleted Annoying artifacts appearing during at Dark or Black scenes while watching a video. Using Earphones while watching a video the audio sometimes got muted itself then for a few seconds it resumes back with audio back on repeatedly.
I have only experience on rooting and flashing my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 but i had a soft brick thanks to the person who posted misleading instructions that causes this to happen. But eventually i managed to recovered from the soft brick and successfully flashing to a JB custom rom
Yeah before you asked me "have you read this Important thread ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 " Yes I have already read everything on the first post by dr ketan at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Anyway, Here is my Information i found on my Note.
Model Number is GT-N7000.
Android Version 4.0.4 Stock ICS.
Baseband version N7000DXLR1.
Kernel Version 3.0.1.5-N7000DXLR5-CL968032
Build Number IMM76D.DXLR5
Here are my questions,
[Q Number 1]
I have already read everything on the first post by dr ketan. I notice there's so many of methods to root the Note.

The safest and easiest way to flash ROM and get ROOT at the same time is using Odin Mobile, which offers option for getting ROOT.
You can use Stock ROM LT4.
For most popular custom ROMs : Eybee1970, Team Union, Alliance, Sweet,
ThaiDai ROM for slim and mutillanguage, Glory ROM also for multilanguage with mods.
There are a lot of other good ROMs here, you have to read more to find out what suits better to your taste.

Hello there
I'm really sorry if i just break some of the rules here. I wonder if it's okay for me to just follow the recommended method 1A by dr ketan ? Now i am in PhilZ thread i suppose i have to find my own Galaxy Note Kernel Version first right ? which is DXLR5 so i guess i have to download this kernel here http://www.mediafire.com/?c2jmfqnwajw8ei1 .PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v3.99 Then flash it in the menu called Stock Recovery (VolumeUP+HOME+POWER button)
I found out that my Baseband version has a DXLR1 in there. Should i be worry on this ?
The PhilZ kernel file listed v3.99 there. my Kernel Version is 3.0.1.5-N7000DXLR5-CL968032, Example when i managed to flash that kernel. I guess that my Kernel Version will changed to like 3.9.9.9 am i right ? or it is not okay to just flash to latest updated kernel like v3.99 ?
I hope it's okay to just answer my newbie questions here. I need someone to help me and tell me whether if i did it right or wrong.
Thank you very much

No problem when you see :
- Baseband DXLR1
- Difference between 3.99 and 3.0.1.5-N7000DXLR5-CL968032.The first is the Philz own version, the second is the Samsung one.
It's normal.

1.As far as rooting method is concerned on said thread, all the methods are safe. there are pros and cons of different method and already mentioned on thread.
I do recommend 1A, as it will root device as well gives you protection from brick bug and without raising flash counter too. So in case you want to go that way, download LR5 philx kernel in zip version and flash from stock recovery.
2.See ROM selection is totally depends on own taste, you can never rely on others answer, but best way go through OP of custom ROM thread, read features mentioned, read some reviews/bugs and try it yourself. that's the only and best way.

First of all, Dr Ketan Thank you very much for helping me with this. I really appreciate your help Yeah i understand what you're trying to mean about that custom ROMs I will take a look at all of them later.
But now I want to see if i got it right again. I will flash it after you give me the final confirmation i need :victory:
1. Find my own stock Kernel build code DXLR5 then go to PhilZ thread and find PhilZ Kernel that listed my Kernel code which is PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v3.99 then download it After that Connect a USB cable to the computer + Note then copy the PhilZ kernel and place at Root dir of External microSD card then turn off Galaxy Note, then hold VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER button for a few seconds to boot in Stock Recovery Menu then flash it at there. am i right ?
Last question here, Finding a Custom Rom that suit my needs might take awhile since i haven't read all of them yet. But i wonder if it's okay to stay in Stock ICS Android 4.0.4 + PhilZ Kernel ?

1.Yes, but remember you have to select zip version of kernel not tar
obviously there is nothing wrong to stay on stock with safe kernel till you couldn't find out best custom ROM for you.

[Q] StockROM?

Hello!
Im new to android story so please excuse my stupid questions.
I would like to install the barest version of gingerbread on my phone. Where to find it? Im not clear if stock mod is what i have on my phone now (original) or is it android without the preinstalled apps that i cant uninstall? I Would like the version without any preinstalled apps.
And since im meddling with my phone, what do you think is the best kernel to use with bare gingerbread?

Gingerbread is Android 2.3. The S Advance has Android 4.1.2 available for it (AKA Jellybean). Follow the above guide to upgrade to Jellybean, and if you want you can also install a custom kernel or ROM.

Stock ROM Gingerbread 2.3.6

Stock Rom is a System Rom which comes preinstalled in your particular android device when you buy it. Stock Rom is preinstalled by the manufacturer of that particular device such as Samsung, Nokia, Sony etc.
If you have Gingerbread 2.3.6 just do a factory reset and from Settings > Application Manager > force stop unwanted apps.
What you want is unclear in your post. What I could realize from your writing that you want a fresh Gingerbread to flash your device.
You can download official Gingerbread 2.3.6 from here. Choose OS version 2.3.6
where do u live? what is the official release for your device there?

Thank you for your replies people.
What I want is to install fresh gingerbread, but some kind of bare version, non samsungs version like i have now. Without preinstalled apps that i cant uninstall. Is that even possible?
What im asking is how is such bare version called and where to find it? and since im doing that i thought i could upgrade kernel but i m new to whole meddling with android thing so i thought i could ask which kernel is good to use with this version of gingerbread?
I live in croatia. There is no croatian version on the page above, besides, those are all samsung versions, like the original on my phone, right?

By bare version, I'm guessing you mean like stock android version like the nexus have. Unfortunately for this device, we don't have the stock android firmware. For GB, even the custom roms you found here is based on stock samsung firmware. So, there will be some samsung apps preinstalled in the custom rom.
If you upgrade to Jellybean 4.1.2, you can try the latest CM 10.1 nightlies (although it is not recommended for newbies, as it is still test builds but has gotten to a pretty stable version). Cyanogen (CM) roms are built from source and it is very similar to stock android interface.

Thanks. Thats what i wanted to know.
I ended up on this forum becouse i wanted to install new cyanogen, but after some reading here it seems that GB is still better option in terms of battery and performance. So i concluded that best bet would be gingerbread without the bloatware. Maybe ill try some GB based rom.
Anyway, i hope this information will be useful to someone else also. Or delete the thread if thats the practice on this forum.
One last question. Im pretty sure i know the answer but better be safe. If I root my phone, i will be able to unistall all the apps that were preinstalled that i cant uninstall now?

Yes, you can. You're granted with superuser access by rooting your phone. So you will be able to remove any app and play with your device anyway you want. :good:

Rooting Gingerbread is a bit tricky for newbies. Follow the guide in the following link
