[Q] HELP!! Massive Doomlord re-root problem after unroot

hey guys
i used the doomlord to root my note and everything was fine.
however, as i wanted to take my phone back to samsung for repair today i decided to unroot it so that my warrant would still be valid.
so i used the doomlord unroot kit and afterwards i realised that all the cwm and superuser icons were still there and i found that a little strange. so i thought i would re-root and re-unroot it again to see whether this problem would go away.
now here comes the problem. no matter how many times i tried re-rooting my phone, it kept saying that my phone wasnt rooted and i could not grant access to cwm etc, even though my computer said all the runs were successful...... so i am basically stuck with a note which cant be rooted anymore.....
by the way i am using the stock samsung rom (2.3.6) and kernel (kk1)
any help guys???
thanks

[Q] new note user....a little help...

my kernel is 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341
baseband is N7000XXLA4
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the tools that i need access to...
thanks to anyone that can help

I can see that mine isnt directly rootable and know that ive got to go to an older rom but which one??

You can have any older ROM, listed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
select any from directly rootable ROM, I am suggesting this one
N7000XXKL3 ------ 2.3.6 2011 December-------- N7000ODDKL1 --------------------India
as this is non wipe N rootable, you won't lose data.
Alternately, select from 4th line of my signature, which is modified pre rooted ROM

Well, first and foremost thanks for replying so fast! it'd be nice to get this flashed as soon as possible -ive got no data to keep as its new to me so ive got yours downloading now (take about another hour from what i can see) - so, once ive got your rom is it just a case of using oding to upload it (its a while since ive had a tab) so im a bit rusty.....+ i take it the next step is CWM?? is that right??

sorry - all the questions - obviously im downloading your interim rom to get it rooted - whats the best ics rom at the moment....?

There is no best rom as they all differ. I'd suggest Imilka's AOSP rom ( if you like AOSP that is ). It's fast, clean and stable.

yes, just use PC odin to flash ROM, if you have any query, refer to post #2 of thread, i have mention in previous msg.
yeah, next is to get CWM
And, finally you can update to latest ROM by using CWM to keep root intact.

What is "not directly rootable"? You can flash CF/Speedmod/Franco/Abyss kernel over any stock rom to get root. You are anyways asking to downgrade ROM using PC ODIN which is going to increase the counter. Why not flash only one of these kernels using PC ODIN?
From the Moderator,
Please clarify your statement. It is not entirely accurate. The Phone needs to be unlocked 1st before any rooting can occur. Secondly, Not All kernels will provide rooting, UNLESS they are written and configured to do so.
People's knowledge level in XDA are from total noob to expert, so it is highly advisable to provide more succinct complete postings e.g. do A then B then etc. That way, people do not misunderstand your posting.

Since how long you are on N7000 forum? looking you are since long on XDA (just seen U R developer)
May i have not uttered more thn three four words, if it was stated by newbie.
When you are 'recognized developer' it puts lot weight on every word you spoke. Hope you can consider to review again your advise.
Can you confirm once again to your statement?
Flash stock ROM using PC odin raise counter?
Flashing CF/Franco/Abyss with PC odin, won't raise counter?
I do believe, your statement is completely wrong. PC odin never raise counter, if you flash STOCK ROM. But any custom Kernel you have described, if flashed with PC Odin will certainly raise counter. Though you are recognized developer, but seems you are new to N7000 develpment.

I havent gone anywhere - still havent got your rooted file - im about 70% of the way there - this has got to be the slowest download ever!!

At last - ive got your rooted file - just extracted it and theres just one file in there - i thought with odin you had individual files....how do i load this one on....

You're 100% wrong. PC Odin won't raise the binary counter as long as it's a stock ROM. The OP needs to flash an older stock ROM so he can root and then do whatever he wants to do. The binary counter will get raised if he flashes a custom ROM with PC Odin.
PC Odin: Stock ROM's
Mobile Odin and CWM: Stock and custom ROM's

ok - i got there in the end - Firstly i like to thank Dr.Ketan for pointing me in the right direction.....i have a few post-type questions.....
i flashed the rom you suggested (the one that was already rooted) - while it went on ok - while it was in that state i lost the ability to use the keyboard - when i type anything in the key would flash up but the it came up with "null" everytime i hit a key...not too much of a problem as it was only a temporary rom.
Also when i flashed the ics rom you suggested - imilka - it flashed.....then at the boot screen it kept freezing (at the boot animation) - i popped the battery a few times and then it eventually started.....and its been fine since....anyone else ever had that/is that the norm...?
Finally - obviously ive removed the stock rom and im now on ics....is there a way i can download all of the stylus apps and put them back in (one of the reasons i bought a note was to use the stylus - bit gimmicky but it would be nice to mess around with it)
Also - i had to install clockwork mod from the market (i have a paid app version of it) - to actually get into clockwork mod....how to i get to cwm from a cold boot - i read that you had to hold down the vol up and down and hit the power - mine just boots - unless im doing something wrong but, when its fully booted i can go to cwm and restart from there and i can go in.....
Sorry about all the questions but, its a great phone, just want to start messing around with it...new toy!
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
Comfy

Keyboard null issue is common, that usually manage by flashing other rom or with flashing csc, but you have manage it so nothing to discuss.
booting error is routinely termed as bootloop, also common,particularly switching between gb n ics rom. Usually it solved with wipe cache n wipe data.
Sorry abt stylus appl, i have no expirence of ics, as i never installed any custom rom.(n it was not me suggested ics b'coz m noob for custom rom)
Market version of cwm is totally different n won't work on note.
there is custom kernel for note, which having same functiin like cwm.

ICS STUNNER ---> ICS STOCK premium suite??

Anyone got a easy step by step guide to go from ICS Stunner to the GERMAN STOCK OFFICIAL that is floating around in the forums???
Do i have to go back to gingerbread and then do upgrade or is there a easier process to go from stunner to stock Germany?
Thanks in advance i am sure there are others that are thinking this same thing as the ICS STunner was the popular rom with ICS

Just use good old mobile odin and flash the rom, make sure you use the wipe settings to

i was also on ics stunner 1.4.26.1 i just downloaded the stock rom copied the tar.md5 file and flashed it through mobile odin pro, these steps worked for me, but however there is a problem with my samsung keyboard whatever keys i type it only shows null null ... changed it to swype keyboard there is no problem with swype but however there is a problem with samsung keyboard in this build

so basically install mobile ODIN, Put the tar.md5 file on sd card, point mobile odin to the md5 file and use wipe settings and thats it?
sounds easy downloading the file now hope it works if i am wrong in this procedure or if anyone can add extra things i should do before i flash let me know thank you!!!

Do not use mobile odin to flash from a rom that uses the leaked kernel repack;
Use PC odin.
You risk permanently bricking your note.

Can you kindly give me a step by step then if possible? some say use mobile some say dont? what is best way to flash [email protected]!!!

You can use Mobile Odin but it's not recommended if you're on a leaked ROM/kernel. Use PC Odin and flash it from there.
Just follow the short "guide" here.

Flash the ICS ROM that is already prerooted form this thread, it's stock ICS with only root.. Flash it with PC Odin and you're good to go..

Ok guys here goes.
I downloaded one of the stock ICS roms. For Premium Suite make sure its bigger than 600MB. There is various sources.
I flashed using PC Odin (V1.85) then did a full wipe after flashing. Its all running buttery smooth now. Enjoy!
(First boot will take a while. Just wait it out. Any longer then 15 mins, get worried!)

Note : If you have i9220 bootloader, dont use pc odin, mobile odin will work. There is no way to remove bootloader till now .Chaifire have brick his device due to this. AFAIK i9220 repack LP5 only have this bootloader

WRONG
I am talking about kernels, not bootloaders.
If you use mobile odin, it will use the bugged kernel to flash the mobile odin kernel, therefore risking bricking your phone.
The risk is a lot smaller then using CWM recovery to flash a rom, but it is still there.
I do not know which extra steps to take if you have a different bootloader.

Do not confuse people with incorrect information.
Only those who somehow managed to flash Chainfire's original LP5 repack have said
bootloaders.
Since that flashing procedure is so complicated, I doubt there's more than 1-2
users who managed to do that.
And don't use red fonts to post panicky and false warnings.

so dumb question i have the international version of note in USA - can I use the german rom or ??

[Q] Root XXLA6 question

Hi all.
Finally got a Note and love it, but while I wait for official ICS here in the UK, I'd like to keep stock 2.3.6 GB but safely root it.
There's so much info here, it makes me a bit nervous in-case I pick the wrong method.
I have this:

and would like to know what method I should use to root.
Thanks

Use Dr. Ketan's method!
Go here and follow the instruction for your Rom.
Edit: Just saw your picture, you have LA4 not LA6 on your device, that means that you can flash a Direct Rootable Rom!

Thanks for the reply but I'm a bit confused, my Note shows Build: GINGERBREAD XXLA6 as does the Kernel, so are you saying that it's the Baseband version : N7000XXLA4 that I should be paying attention to?
Also according to Kies it's PDA:LA6 / PHONE LA4 / CSC LA1 (XEU)

yes la4 is the rom version you are using, you will need to downgrade to be able to root

which rom do you suggest I downgrade to and still allow update via Kies?
Will the downgrade via Odin up my flash counter and give me the triangle?

go look at the root thread, there is a link for kj1, which is non wipe rom so all your settings will stay in tact
no it wont give you the triangle because it is a stock rom

I bought the Galaxy Note N7000 yesterday and I have exactly the same android-, baseband-, kernel version and build number. The only difference is I'm from the Netherlands and using Vodafone.
Now I've been looking for a way to root it, but I also wondered which XXLA# I should use for it.. I saw the reply of the downgrade (ofcourse) but I am wondering: those r for Poland and Germany... Or doesn't that matter and I can root it anyway w/o bricking the phone?

Post november roms are difficult to root, best optuon is to go to pre december 2011 rom
Or go to ICS and use cwm. Zip and superuser. Zip method

Well yeah, I get that point, but the thing is: I'm kinda noob with this. To be honest: my roommates rooted my galaxy s for me, but they did it so fast that I didn't get half of what they did..
My eventual goal is to learn how to root a smartphone and upgrade mine to android ics. My current android version is an unrooted stock 2.3.6 and I wanna go for a rooted ICS, but I already start to wonder now if I can upgrade my phone to rooted ICS immediately from the 2.3.6... Could u guide me a little in this?
By the way: sorry if I ask some pretty obvious questions that might have already been answered elsewhere on the forum, but I have been looking all over the forum and just don't know which info I should use from which posts anymore..

If you want ics then it is very easy.
First flash ics and then root it., ics is directly rootable.
I recommend first hard reset on gb rom for clean installation.
All informatikn regarding ics update n root, u can find on first link on my signature.

Well, I thought the safest way to get me ICS on the phone was through updating with Samsung Kies. After this I was planning to put CWM in the folder sdcard/external_sd and Busybox on the internal sd, but...
I got it updated now, but I lost the folder external_sd.. I can't create a new folder with this name either.. I don't actually have an external SD card, but if I remember it well, I didn't need it either. I have seen the folder external_sd for sure in there..
Edit: Bought an external sd card and did the root like u said, but without flashing back to GB. It worked! Thanks alot for the clear walkthrough! Hail dr. Ketan!

How to change to my local Rom (solved)

My experience is with Motorola HTC huawei. I have never owned a Samsung before and I am a little confused. I rooted my note and it currently has an advanced recovery and I deleted some apps I never use. The image attached should tell you guys what it is at the moment. I would like to install the Bangladesh version ics Rom for the note but I'm not sure how to go about it.
1. How do I flash the Rom. Do I flash like I did with my HTC and Motorola.
2. Would I lose root in the process?
3. If and when Samsung releases jb for note would I be able to update ota?
4. What is odin why do I need it and what's flash count?
5. I don't like aosp or aokp roms. What Rom should I move to eventually?
6. If I flash a Rom will I lose everything from the internal sdcard?

1.
I never use HTC and Motorolla smartphone, but in samsung, you can use ODIN (you can choose ODIN PC, or Mobile ODIN).
For mobile ODIN, you can use the lite version free (from google play), or you can purchase the mobile ODIN pro. But mobile ODIN can only be use if you are rooted.
Otherwise, ODIN PC would be a good choice (if yours not rooted, or do not intend to purchase mobile ODIN pro).
You may refer to this thread (by dr. Ketan). Read properly on how to flash your Note, once you understand, you may proceed.
2.
If you are rooted already, and you flash by ODIN PC, yes... you will be unroot again, and go back to stock kernel.
if you use mobile ODIN, you can keep the root by choosing keep root option(but in some cases, root also gone). But don't worry, if your root gone in the process, you can always root back your device, using this thread (by dr. Ketan again). All credits goes to him, I only provide you the link.
3.
When sammy will release ? no news yet. I only know soon. But I believe it should be after the release of Note 2 in all countries, only then we will receive the OTA for JB on our N7000.
For OTA updates, I'm not so sure if you are able to do it perfectly when your device is rooted. I have never done the update from OTA / or even Kies so far. I always use ODIN.
4.
ODIN is a tools to help you to flash firmware / kernel / csc. It's an optional tools in case you want to flash firmware from other countries. Or when you want to change kernel, but your device is not rooted, or when you want to flash just the CSC files.
Flash count is the binary counter, it's like a protection to Samsung, so they will know whether you flash custom ROM / kernel onto your device or not, and if yes, how many times. Normally when your binary counter up, Sammy will void your warranty.
But don't worry, there's a tool to remove by using this thread (Triangleaway, by Chainfire).
Binary counter is up when you (edit : flash custom kernel via ODIN PC). When you flash original firmware (from any countries), using ODIN PC, it won't up your binary counter, as it is considered as official ROM from Samsung.
5.
You can use TW ROM.
6.
It is always good to move your important data to external SD card first. and/or you can backup first before you flash anything onto your device.
But my understanding, your internal SD card won't be affected eventhough you do a full wipe, unless you format it. :fingers-crossed:
Lastly,
Just a gentle reminder, DO NOT do any full wiping under original ICS stock kernel / recovery. You want to wipe, please flash a safe kernel first.
Choice of safe kernel = you can find it here, a thread summarize by Chasmodo.
Hydracore, Philz, and speedmod is proven to be safe (as they have removed the eMMC brick bug).
Please read all carefully before flashing.
Good Luck!

This was a very detailed and helpful reply. Thank you for taking the time to help me. Just one little question.
With Samsung people don't flash custom roms via recovery? People use odin? Or can it be done both ways?

Custom ROM normally flashed by recovery.
Normally you can only flash a Custom ROM after you have rooted your device.
ODIN only use to flash official firmware / CSC from samsung.
or to flash custom kernel.
anyway, if you are really new to this note, I suggest you to do more research and reading, especially on dr. Ketan thread.
He really helps us a lot here with his thread.
Only when you are confident and sure about the step, then you may continue. A lot ppl don't want to read carefully, and end up in bricking the device. (I was one of them when first time having this note). After bricking then I start to learn from scratch, read more post and thread.
u should do the other way around, read more, confident, then do.
Good Luck!
