[Q] Rooted on KK9 - Can I safely OTA to KL7?

I apologize in advance if this has already been asked and answered, but I did search and couldn't find a definitive answer.
I have a "German" Note which came with 2.3.5 initially, I did one OTA update (to KK9) and it appears that luckily for me, I was still able to use the ZergRush exploit and root it and get the custom CWM, etc.
Now as I sit on KK9, I see that there is another OTA update available to me (KL7?) that clocks in at about 71MB.
With root, custom CWM, and CF-Root 5.0 at the moment, I don't want to lose that in an update.
So, is it safe to OTA or should I download something else and flash it via CWM? If so, what should I download and how should I flash it?
Thanks! Just don't want to brick or loose root.

(From memory only
You can "safely" update: that is, some users have reported no problems but I've already read issues with backup managers not being able to unfreeze apps, boot loops, and keyboard/random apps crashing when you try to open them.
KL7 is a stunning update (my battery now lasts forever). I'm going to root later in the summer once everything becomes stable.

After update, you cant root it with zergrush exploit as previous. Better you download full rom, install mobile odin pro, n flash it with 'ever root' option. So will get root during flashing

Thank you!
How can I confirm that the update being offered via OTA from KK9 is indeed KL7? Is that the most appropriate and current update path to follow? I know there are many different builds for potentially different devices, and I just want to make sure I am on the right path, and am merely assuming at this point that KL7 is the next step for my Note.
Thanks again, your advice makes much sense, and with already being Root and having Mobile Odin Pro, this seems like a much more intelligent approach. I want my device to be rooted, but rock stock and absolutely stable otherwise.
Regards,
-Rob

I can only say 71MB is almost exactly what I remember the KL7 update being. Other than that, I don't know how you can check (alternatively, you could download the update from XDA, apply it, then check for OTAs to see whether or not it was KL7).

So, what if you have CWM installed? Can I use Mobile Odin still? Or will this get rid of my CMW recovery and/or screw something else up?

if you use cwm still u can flash it to kl7, but again same, u cant root it. So using mobile odin pro, u can root kl7 during flashing by selecting 'eve root' n again u can cf root n get cwm for kl7 as you did it b4
Edit : yes with installed cwm still can use mobile odin, n remember u need pro version of mobile odin

Got the pro version. Thanks!
So just to make sure, coming from Stock KK9, rooted + with CWM:
Flash KL7 w/ ever root option Odin Pro
Re-install KL7 version of CWM.
Should all be set?
This is non-wipe too right? So everything should remain in tact?

Exactly, and when v dont select re partition box, it shud remain intact.(here also v dont selecting) But always keep backup b4 these kind of stuff.

Edit: I was able to get my phone flashed and updated to KL8. The process I used I descibed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21153439#post21153439
Ok, I'm using Mobile Odin Pro to try to flash to KL7 from KK5. I have root + CWM in KK5, use Mobile Odin according to the instructions to flash KL7...but I always get stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Note" boot screen. No matter how long I leave it, it will stay that way. To recover, I have to use Odin on PC to reflash KK5 and then reroot. Any suggestions on what else to try?

I couldn't get flashing with Mobile Odin to work correctly. I ended up getting the update to work by using CWM to flash the KL8 firmware, while pre-rooting. I then had to fix the keyboard issue by flashing the CSC, as mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997.
Once I did that, I installed CMW Manager again using the method found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360. With the firmware updated and the radio working (phone wouldn't work in KL7) I just restored everything from a Titanium Backup file and it's all working.

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."

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.

[Q] how to uninstall CWM on Galaxy Note?

I am currently on LB2 and has been rooted (since KL3) from tips by Dr. Ketan (16nov11 simplified, I just want root)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
However i applied CMW post root last night after LB2 update, following this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515105&page=3 (1st March 2012, 12:47 PM)
incase i want to revoke warranty claim, how can i:
1) unroot it and uninstall CWM as well, just like STOCK ROM?
2) should i just download stock rom and flash it via MOBILE ODIN PRO (uncheck "Ever Root" option)? Will this restore to stock rom and loose root and CMW as well?

Thanks Dr. Ketan for quick response, but will PC Odin not increase binary count? If yes will Warranty be still valid?

Flashing stock Rom with PC Odin does not increase your binary count. Flashing custom Roms/kernels does.

N7000 GB Unlock?

Hi,
I've already posted something about this before but I haven't had any response in a while.
I'm trying to unlock my Dad's N7000 locked to Orange in UK and my Galaxy S2 locked to 3 in UK so we can swap.
I know I can flash a pre-rooted ROM or I can Downgrade from 2.3.6 to 2.3.5 usin Odin or other softwares but I don't know which firmware I am supposed to use or kernel or what ROM for UK. or is 2.3.6 rootable? or shud I upgrade to ICS then root?
I'd like to stick to the original ROM as much as possible, and hopefully would be able to update to ICS once rooted and carrier unlocked.
The details for the N7000 are
PDA: N7000XXLC1
Phone: N7000XXLB2
CSC: N7000ORALA1
I've been trying for ages to find the info to do this, i'd appreciate any help pleeease

You can directly update to ICS and then root. as it is easy to root on ICS.(i recommend go clean, e.g. wipe cache and data on GB then flash ICS)
once you root device unlock using this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helroz.galaxysunlock&feature=search_result

Call your provider,
They do it for free - well, o2 do anyway, not sure bout Orange etc... And I had only had my Contract about 2 months..

You have partial root, try installing Busybox from market and then install binaries from busybox application inside.

That is because 2.3.6 is not direct rootable. You need to follow Dr. Ketan's guide to achieve root...

This what you need to follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756030&postcount=2
You have to flash a pre rooted firmware in ODIN PC and the from there you can flash your current firmware with a CF-Kernel with Mobile Odin your kernel is listed in there. Just read carefully.

If your plan is to update to JB you can do that straight foward and then root by flashing philz kernel. That is way easy.

Thanks guys for everything!
