[Q] How to flash new rom?(Stuck on ICS no root) - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, many weeks ago, I flashed a very early version of Rocket ICS rom, and I don't think I did it properly as I no longer have root.
What would be the fastest way to go back to 2.3, root and then go back properly to an ICS rom? Many thanks
Note:I do not have a PC, only a Mac, so a non-pc using method would be good, but if its the only way, do go ahead

This is the fastest way back to GB:

As for flashing a new ICS rom afterwards, you'll have to read and follow the flashing instructions of the rom you need.

heimdall
Hi for mac or linux you have heimdall or
install virtualbox (vmware) & install windaube7

Hi, Sir. I recently upgrading my note from ALBA ZCLP6 fullpack v1 to v2, but lost the ROOT, have no more SU, flash clearing cache and dalvik, can help me please?. Kind regards.
Edit. Downgrade to LP6 v1 and get SU again, I will try redownlouding again the ROM LPC6 v2.

If you can get into download mode then get some rootable stock firmware and use PC Odin to flash it.
But as you said, you don't have a PC. In this case, you need a PC and good friend who can provide you that PC.

question before i flash again.

well, i have had some issues flashing my phone to 2.3, and it is currently on continuum v5.5 working fine for a few versions. so i don't want to rush into anything and mess it up again, but i want to try another rom. im a little confused to what all i need to do to get the new phoenix rom on coming from a talon kernel.
thanks!
Just use ODIN ONE CLICK STOCK (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and then place the rom of ur choice and flash it in CWM!! tell me if u need anything else
Odin back to stock and follow instructions in the OP for the Pheonix thread.
You need to verify that your current installed kernel is compatible with your new rom of choice.
If not:
1. Find one that is compatible, install it via odin without rebooting - then boot to recovery and install the zip file in cwm.
OR
2. Odin one click to stock and go from scratch.
If going from GB to GB rom then the important thing is the kernel compatibility or you will likely go into bootloop. Other than that wipe, reset and install.

(Q) Quick Guide on CM9 installation process

sup xda!?
I was trying to ask for this in the General Thread for CM9 but only found trouble..
After looking through the thread for over an hour, I still couldn't find a comprehensive guide on how to install CM9 on my device..
I know that you need PC-Odin for it, you need gapps and of course the zip of the ROM, but I just can't figure out what to flash, what Kernel to flash and how to..
As I saw many people asking about this, I think it would be greatly appreciated if one of you pros could spare the -minutes- it takes to give us noobs some info..
I am currently on the latest Stunner build and on the LP6-Kernel..
thanks for any help! peace
EDIT:
ok, copperdawgnc sent me to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and told me:
"This will show you how to use PC ODIN & has GB roms to download"
so it seems that we need to use PC-Odin, as expected, and install a GB Rom first..
I know how to use Odin a bit but I still don't know what to install..
what Kernel, which ROM, any ROM? and do I really have to flash an unrooted stock and re-root..? why is that necessary?

thanks!
so, it should go like this:
1 get ODEX PRE ROOTED N7000XXLC1 (Europe) or ODEX PRE ROOTED N7000DXLC2 (Malaysia)
2 install via PC-Odin
2.1 get PIT file and choose the 3 (?) files mentioned in the screenshot
3 after it's done: download Mobile ODIN
2. download CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5.zip
3. load CF-Root kernel using Mobile Odin
4. get back into recovery
5. wipe data
6. install cm9 and gapps
7. wipe
8. done?
seriously?
wouldn't it work if we only install the CF-Root-Kernel LC1 (?) and flash CM9 from there through Odin?
LC1 or some other Kernel?
thx
Thanks for posting this question, MrKancho. I can't help, but have the exact same situation myself, with imilka's CM9 rom. Just want to confirm that the installation method you outlined works without any problems before trying it myself.
Thx

You want to flash CM9 through Odin?
And how do you propose to flash a zip file using Odin?
:facepalm:
You flash CM9 and Gapps using CWMR.

[q] from kingdroid to ics lpy

Hello guys, let me please get just a confirmation from you since I have no access to Samsung Service Center, i don't want to have a hard brick device.
What are the best procedures to upgrade from KingDroid v2.0 ICS to Open German LPY ?
Flash abysskernel and wipe then flash open german did not work
Thank you!
Use PC Odin.
Hey chasmodo thanks for your quick answer. Just to clarify a little bit, I still need to flash abyss and wipe, then go to PC Odin and flash using dr Keatan procedure ?
thank you so much again

Do not flash Abyss to wipe, it's not completely safe. Just use PC Odin to flash a GB Rom (pre-rooted or stock).

Help A Bro... Please will really appreciate ur help. :) anyone?

Hello Im sorry to bother but I would really appreciate with all my hearth you could take a min to help, I got this amazing phone yesterday, of course is the gt-n7000 unlocked international version, well i have no effin clue on what to do to start learning on how to change the gingerbread to the ICS, tried to check if i could do it trough kies and gave me an error just to even hook it up, gave me MTP driver not found, please tell me how to install the new ics please
should i try with kies or a custom ROM like cm9?
so sorry im a noob
Im new too ! Had mine about 3 days now, I flashed ICS via ODIN, Then flash CF kernel booted into recovery and flashed my ROM, (CleaNote)
pretty straight forward really, Dont be confused by all the BrickBug threads (DO take them seriously tho!!!) Just avoid making a full wipe along the process.
CleaNote ROM flashes SpeedMod kernel which is safe, But flashing ICS via ODIN wipes the device anyway so no need to worry
Which ROM would you like ? Stock Samsung ICS or AOSP / CM9 based ROM ?? If you want CM9 you can use ParanoidAndroid..
If you are on GB at the moment, Just root and get CWM then flash Abyss kernel in recovery, Then reboot recovery, then flash the paranoid android ROM
(Double check just incase Im also new to the Note and still learning daily)
Don't worry bro.. you have a soft brick and you can fix it by following next steps..
1) Go to dr.ketan thread "[STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1place,Latest ICS LQ3" and download the followings:
- PC Odin
- Drivers "for Win 32 bits or Win 64 bit"
2) Download ICS ROM for the region that you are belong to in the same thread..
3) Go to dr.ketan explanation on how to flash and root in the following post.
IF YOU STICK TO THIS PROCEDURE TO THE WARD, YOU WILL INSTALL STOCK ICS ALONG WITH ROOT PERMISSION​ :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Install KIES to your PC and follow the instructions in the samsung user manual and web site. If it doesn't work, come back and give a shout. Personally, I wouldn't be in any hurry at all to install ICS. Gingerbread is nice and stable, and I'm guessing you would prefer to spend your time using the device rather than fixing it.

What are you talking about? How on earth is he soft bricked when he hasn't even flashed anything? Ignore this idiots statement.
If you purely want stock ics then:
If kies is having trouble connecting its usually due to out of date drivers. Make sure you have the latest version. If you do, uninstall kies and Samsung drivers from PC, reboot, reinstall latest kies. Use original USB cable plugged into back USB port on PC (one straight off motherboard). Hopefully that will pick up your device now, if still not detected, try all USB ports one at a time.
Easier method, read dr.ketans sticky in development section which lists all stock roms, select the one you want for your location and flash with PC Odin.

[Q] [i9000] [SOLVED] Upgrade to CM7.2.0

Here is my question: I have a SGS i9000 with froyo 2.2 stock and cf-root, by flashing cf-root i gained obviously root but also the recovery 2e that should be without signature verification. Now if i want to install CM7.2 can i just install it via recovery 2e by renaming it update.zip? or i will brick the phone? On Cm official wiki page about installing they say you need to have gingerbread installed but i'm on mac and i can't flash a gb rom because heimdall is not detecting the file, i also tried with a linux partition on my mac but it did not worked. to get root i used first z4root and then mobile odin to flash cf root with recovery 2e.
thanks in advance to who will help me!
PS: I also have a I9001(see signature) but the phone for wich i'm asking is a i9000!

download KIES for Mac from My Android collections link below, and upgrade your phone to Gingerbread 2.3.6 (KIES will do it automatically) than root it with a semaphore kernel to get CWM, before going on to ICS and than to JB...should be done in this manner , do not jump from GB to JB ( you will have less problems)

ok i will try it, but kies from samsung site is not working at all. and moreover i have this problem, i just want to go from froyo to CyanogenMod 7.2 (android 2.3.6 GB). without any intention to go to ICS or JB. Second thing, if i manage to update from kies then heimdall is going to recognise it? Because if not i can't flash semaphore. Last thing i should uroot the device to update from kies right?
Many thanks for your help!
new information: I have installed your version of kies, and it finally recognise the phone, but it say that the device do not support update via kies, what can i do? thanks
Second edit: i researched and now i know the problem is that i cf-rooted my phone. so how could i revert? to cf-root i have used mobile odin after gained SU with z4root. i would had avoided to flash that if i had know that today kies were to recognise my phone! please help me lso if it was a noob mistake.

Ok, since you have installed KIES and working , heimdall should also be working, IF not you can download a latest heimdall mac version, from earlier link to update to ginger bread 2.3.6, before CM..also backup efs. contacts, images etc first, IF you have CWM, you can even do a nandroid backup, before any upgrade .
Always best to do progressive upgrade as it will not complicate the upgrade by jumping from froyo to CM ( which is a custom ROM) . Best to READ the developers Flashing guidelines before upgrade too.
Flashing the gingerbread ROM will automatically remove your earlier CF root, just download your original Firmware for your region from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 , than use a semaphore Kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 this will give you root plus CWM for you to upgrade to CM 7.2
Do not jump, as you need Gingerbread bootloaders for upgrade to CM
Solved!

Ok the problem was with froyo secondary bootloader, that is not recognised by heimdall if connected to a mac, nor to a VM Linux on the same mac. so i had borrowed my neighbour's netbook with windows 7. installed heimdall there and everything went smoothly. Firstly i have flashed a new GB rom, 2.3.6, the newer eropean one, then flashed CF-root for that rom with integrated CWM 3.x.x.x. The only problem was that when i flashed from cwm CM7.2.0 i hade a boot loop, so i had to swith off the fone by long pressing the power botton, then i booted in recovery, now the recovery was cwm 5.x.x.x so i wiped data/factpry reset and wiped cache, from the new cwm 5.x.x.x reinstalled CM7.2.0's zip and the latest gapps, booted again and everything went smooth from there.
Thanks for your help!
