[Q] Rooting Galaxy Ace GT-S5830L - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all
I have been trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830L for the past couple of days without any success. I am right now running 2.3.4 with Build number mentioned as Gingerbread.UBKP7. The prevalent methods such as using the root.zip file / using superoneclick abort in the middle of the process. Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks
Sudharshan

Cf-root ?
Defy-ing all limits.

S5830 and S5830L are The same phones with different basebands so if it works for S5830 it will work for S5830L

Still no luck rooting s5830L or s5830T
I thought renewing this thread might get the attention of someone who has successfully rooted their Galaxy Ace GT-S5830L or GT-S5830T with Gingerbread 2.3.4 DDKQ4. I'm a full on newb at all this, and have been scouring this forum for answers the past few days.
I got my S5830L a couple of weeks ago, and getting it rooted has stumped me. roidzmaster and oldernerd with S5830T models have been posting in this thread, but have not solved their similar rooting problems either.
I have read and tried files for rooting found on stickies and tutorials in these forums here, and here, and on Yagya Gaire's page here. The files and instructions were identical to ones I found elsewhere on the net here, and here. But my Ace responds with this error:
error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7) installation aborted
So:
1. Can anyone who has successfully root their s5830L please respond and tell me how it was done?
2. And can someone confirm what I read in the Newbie Guide for your Galaxy Ace sticky that suggests that before I root, I can install Clockworkmod and completely backup my phone to a custom ROM? I followed a link on that sticky to a page with a link to download ClockWorkMod 4.0.0.9. And I also found a newer Clockwork Mod Recovery v5.0.2.6 on Yagya Gaire's page. But I'm not sure if it's wise to install ClockworkMod before rooting.
3. Is there any reason to prefer one of the methods Yagya suggests for flashing clockworkmod with Odin and CWMManager.apk rather than Ace's recovery mode?
Thanks for any help on this.

I had the same problem, I can't remember the name of the site I tried but I can give you the names of the files I downloaded, there were 2 different ones I tried, the first did not work but the second did, here are the names:
upd_1.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?te9cdr348u7j4xz
I think this was the one that worked for me, it was so long ago, PM me if you get any problems.

Thanks amd-dude... but no luck on that file. Have PMed you.

Well this dropped to page 2 of listings a while back... I was really hoping someone might have a solution for rooting the L model at some point today.

The file called AceGingerRoot.zip worked on stock 2.3.4 L version (umkp3). Can't upload it right now, look for it in Latin android forums.

Thanks... in fact I just had that suggested a little while ago, and I've found 2 different versions.
Do you know if S5830L phones have been successfully UNrooted with the unroot.zip file I've found in many places after rooting with AceGingerRoot.zip?
It seems many methods of rooting require a matching unrooting file to work properly.

Well, i've never had the need to unroot.
Unroot is useful if you're taking your Ace to SAT without losing your warranty. Chances are, when that happens unrooting won't be possible (if only we had a brick for every time someone tried ROM MANAGER on their Ace).
If unroot.zip doesn't work, just reflash stock (or factory reset) and root will be gone. That's when CWM becomes useful, you can always restore your backup and have your phone the way it was.
This is the one i used to root my first time on stock 2.3.4 GT-5830L (on stock recovery, not sure if it works the same on CWM:
AceGingerRoot.zip

Downloaded my stock S5830LUBKP7 ROM from samfirmware and plan to flash with Odin if needs be. Just want to insure I can get warranty support.

I take it you haven't tried unrooting with unroot.zip I don't know if unroot.zip resets everything AceGingerRoot.zip configures... but I read the very bottom of one webpage that might imply it would work.
Thanks so very much for your feedback dxppxd.

Well the rooting went very easily. I had a choice of 3 methods, but I just ended up extracting 'updater-script' from root.zip, adding an L to the end of GT-S5830 in the script, made a new zip archive with it, and flashed the phone in recovery mode. Tested unrooting with unroot.zip too, and that worked fine.
Now on to installing CWM and backing up the exiting ROM. I originally found v4.0.0.9 for the Ace, but now see see Yagya has a v5.0.2.6.
Does anyone have a link to info on what all CWM can do, and if there's any reason to prefer the older version over the new?

hi i was wondering if you could up load the file you changed to root your phone with im having the excaxt same problem.

Here's the root.zip I modified and the unroot.zip file that was basically the same file I found online in several places. Post back and let me know if it works for you.

I had the same problem as you.
The one who worked was AceGingerRoot.zip
Its the same method to install as upd_1.zip
Just other files and other name.

That zip had one extra file in the archive that my root.zip didn't have, and 2 that were very different. Also I found the same root.zip file paired in several places online with the exact same unroot.zip. So since I'm still just learning Android/Linux, I felt safer making a simple change (adding the L) to the root.zip file and gambling that the matching unroot.zip file would work properly to undo the changes that root.zip had made.
I couldn't find any web pages that offered any matching file to unroot the changes that the version of AceGingerRoot.zip they offered as a download would make. But the various versions of AceGingerRoot.zip and root.zip are so similar I'd bet you'll find that unroot.zip file will probably unroot your phone too. Have you tried it?

I'm having the same problem, when i try to update from sd card, it aborts in the middle of the proccess.
Have someone already succesfully rooted for the Ace gt 5830L, if the answer is yes, can you provide a guide for the method (and the working update)?
Thanks in advance

Hey buddy I also have the GT 5830L and could not root it with any other files out there, So I downloaded TakuSkan's root.zip from POST #14 and "used it" from the recovery menu and it worked like a charm.

The latest superoneclickroot has gingerbreak integrated. Did not work....I don't know about the command line method. I might try later.

I think the reason why the first GB-the Italian version was pulled out of samsung servers was because it was easy to hack/root. Now the official Asian GB has problems with rooting because they learned from the Italian version and put something on the later release to make it difficult to root.

Well, as I did it on a SGS2 and not on a Galaxy tab, I don't know if the same applies to the former. However, I experienced difficulties with SuperOneClick which I successfully worked around doing the following:
First of all, if you have .NET Framework 4.0 installed on your PC, try downgrading it to .NET 3.0. Reboot. Another thing, try SuperOneClick v. 1.5.5 (which uses rage-against-the-cage) instead of the newer ones (which use either gingerbreak or psneuter). Then, start SuperOneClick before connecting the phone (which must be on usb debugging mode, of course!). When SuperOneClick says it is "waiting for device" then connect the phone and let it do its job.
For me, it didn't work at the first try, as it got stuck at some point. However, after a huge measure of persistence, which included several trials using the mentioned procedure, I've succeeded. As since then I've upgraded my ROM twice, the process had to be done twice again, and the persistence was necessary to succeed in both. Don't give up too early: persistence is the key. At least it was in my case.
Good luck !
PS.: I also could only succeed using Chanfire's XWKDD insecure kernel, even with newer firmwares (KE1 and KE7). I don't know why, but KE1 and KE7 insecure kernels didn't work for me using SuperOneClick.
where can I get the old version like Superoneclick 1.5.5? I tried googling but could not find link....or please provide copy of your file?
thanks!
Unfortunately, as I'm new here in XDA forums, I'm not able to provide external links yet (website policy). However I was able to sent you the link via private message.
Good luck !
Unfortunately did not work for me.I think samsung have closed the exploit on this firmware - which was open on the Italian version.

doing this procedure disables the tweaks app by chainfire as far as i can tell.. wasn't able to check the CWM app and the boot recovery.
yes,
i just check it i thought if the su, cwm ,tweak apps are available in the phone it is already rooted and i check also in adb some commands not allowed/permitted
ahhhh i thought am got the right path
back to grade one

[SOLVED] ADB/Manual rooting

is there a way that i could root galaxy tab gt-p1000 using only adb, i need the files , like SU,the unlock procedure of the bootloader, recovery for GTAB , and instructions if there is any.. thank you and good day XDA! i cant use superone click my pc identifies it as a malicious file...
Disable the antivirus then.
Anyway, follow my signature for overcome method.

Yes, you can. Google for the such files, or flash overcome kernel as priyana has mentioned. You can also root it by flashing cf root files via Odin. You will find it in a pos by me named stock to ics

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S I9000 - Manual ADB Root?

Hi. I'm 13 years old and a bit of a n00b so sorry about that, but in a years time my parents will let me buy a new phone for £100 (about $153) or less. So, I saw that several i9000s were being sold used and refurb from amazon UK, so I am thinking about going for that when the time comes. The only thing about it though is that it is only updatable to 2.3.6 gingerbread. I have rooted all the android devices I own so far (Samsung Galaxy Apollo I5800, LG E400 and Nook Simple Touch), and have recently installed cm9 nightly on the lg e4000 and a port of cm 7.2 RC called Kyrillos Rom (great rom, kudos to the developer) and have loved it. So, if I was buying the galaxy S, one of the first things I would want to do with it is to install cm10.1, stable, which is officially compatible with this phone, or whatever the latest version is at time of buying is. Anyway, to do this I need CWM Recovery, and to get that I have to root. I have looked online on many sites including these forums, youtube, etc and the main way to root this phone seems to be to flash the cf-root kernel, using Odin, for gingerbread, or use an update.zip or superoneclick if its running eclair. However, many people have said that they got boot loops using cf-root, and I'd rather not risk that. Also, a couple of extra complications, 1) since I am buying it off of amazon I will not be able to return it because a root method will not work, 2) Because I am buying it in a years time I do not want to be stuck in 2.3.6 when 5.0+ is out.
So, I wanted to ask a question. Could I use a guide like one of these to root my phone. They are essentially thee same thing, just using different root exploits. Would ONE of these definitely work with any of the official baseband versions, because I want to be pretty certain when I buy it that I can get JB.
http://forum.ucweb.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=65836
http://www.matbra.com/en/2011/04/20/root-manual-do-android/
or something like the above two but using a different exploit (download or guide link please)
I'm not too uncomfortable with basic cmd and adb so it seems the best way for me, as I would be uncomfortable if confronted with boot loops.
It would be great if someone actually has used one of these methods on their stock i9000 devices before. It will have to work with whatever the latest official kies or ota update is because there is no telling which android version my used/refurb device will come with.
I would be really, really grateful if I got a definite solution to this. Thank you in advance for helping and I'm very sorry about the long post.
ps on my lg e400 i tried superoneclick, the run.bat and all the other one click root methods. None of them worked, but manually rooting it5 using adb, cmd and the rageagainstthecage exploit worked perfectly.
too much to read mate, why dont u simplify things here.
bootloop will occur if u flash wrong cfroot its common, no panic, juz find a suitable one n flash it again, ur fone will be rooted
da important thing here is da info of ur device, see setting for info on build number, ur imei, android version, n etc n copy it somewhere, thats da references for knowing ur region base n fone info. but make sure ur own device version before do it (i9000/i9003/i9001/shw m110s/ or etc!)
upgrading also need some confirmation, u can follow any ways in xda provided each of them was doing it with their own experience, but da important thing is u know what u re trying to do, thats all

So, the people who complain in comments are flashing the wrong one? Is there one for every model (I'd be getting international but I don't know what baseband etc)
Also, I'd love to know if there's any way you can just go back to basics and root using a command line. I'd just feel slightly more comfortable doing it that way.
Sorry about the last long post and thanks for replying so soon

you can use an app to root i9000 or with PC or with a semaphore kernel even , look in My Android collections (link below) under unlock and root section
that looks brilliant. I assume its the link under 2e recovery for the 'i9000 root update.zip' on mediafire.com. I just have a few basic questions to ask.
a) Does this work on 2.3.6 value pack?
b) I'm in the UK so I should be able to update from whatever it comes with (eclair, froyo) to 2.3.6 officially, either OTA or with kies, right?
c) Does this work for all baseband/firmware versions?
d) Can I install this as update.zip with stock samsung recovery?
e) I assume this installs su, busybox and the Superuser apk, does it?
f) After rooting could I download rom manager and use it to flash the appropriate version of cwm recovery?
Sorry about all the n00b questions, but thanks
a) Does this work on 2.3.6 value pack?
sure, but less work involved when you use Framaroot or Z4root app ( its just install app and you are rooted)
b) I'm in the UK so I should be able to update from whatever it comes with (eclair, froyo) to 2.3.6 officially, either OTA or with kies, right?
yep
c) Does this work for all baseband/firmware versions?
Nope...mostly for latest Gingerbread...you may need to find earlier versions of it for earlier ROMs
d) Can I install this as update.zip with stock samsung recovery?
yep, IF you have 2e recovery, but like I said, just install app and you are done
e) I assume this installs su, busybox and the Superuser apk, does it?
SU and superuser are the same, it will install that, busybox you install by downloading from google
f) After rooting could I download rom manager and use it to flash the appropriate version of cwm recovery?
yep, and can also be done by Flashing a kernel with CWM or installing Flasify or Mobile Odin to Flash whatever you want.
sure, but less work involved when you use Framaroot or Z4root app ( its just install app and you are rooted)
OK, thanks so much for this. So, to confirm, I can just use z4root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953?vm=r&s=1) or framaroot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276?vm=r&s=1) on all versions of baseband provided I am running firmware version 2.3.6. One or the other will work, just by installing the APK and tapping some sort of root button. I am familiar with z4root because it worked to root my samsung i5800 when it was on eclair. However, it would not root it after the official upgrade to froyo. Is this the same issue that the galaxy s is faced with. Will I have to somehow downgrade it to eclair if it comes from froyo or gingerbread? Also, framaroot does not say that the galaxy s is supported. Does it work?
Also, one other thing. No offence to chainfire (the root is very impressive and I wouldn't know where to start in making one) but why is it that all the tutorials I have recently seen are using odin and cf-root not z4root or framaroot. Is there a catch, or something.
Anyhow, thanks very much for answering. Sorry about yet more n00bish questions.
ps Also, just for the record, what is 2e recovery. Is it stock?
I can just use z4root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953?vm=r&s=1) or framaroot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276?vm=r&s=1) on all versions of baseband provided I am running firmware version 2.3.6. One or the other will work, just by installing the APK and tapping some sort of root button.
yep, but stick to Framaroot a it was only released in 2013, whereas Z4root was in 2010
I am familiar with z4root because it worked to root my samsung i5800 when it was on eclair. However, it would not root it after the official upgrade to froyo. Is this the same issue that the galaxy s is faced with.
The above link you posted will tell you it is compatible with 19000
Will I have to somehow downgrade it to eclair if it comes from froyo or gingerbread?
Don't waste your time downgrading, upgrade to gingerbread and than root with framaroot
Also, framaroot does not say that the galaxy s is supported. Does it work?
Read the link you posted it is compatible with i9000 and users have used it successfully
Also, one other thing. No offence to chainfire (the root is very impressive and I wouldn't know where to start in making one) but why is it that all the tutorials I have recently seen are using odin and cf-root not z4root or framaroot. Is there a catch, or something.
Nope Framaroot only came out February 2013, so very few are aware of it and CF rooting kernel was sort of the first to come out and semaphore rooting kernel later, and is also popular kernels have added features, where rooting apps only place SU into your system.
ps Also, just for the record, what is 2e recovery. Is it stock?
yep, but not all phones have 2e recovery, they mostly have 3e recovery, which does not give you the option to flash updates
Sorry about the Framaroot thing, I missed the galaxy S when scrolling down fast - derp. So, its as simple as downloading the APK, transferring it to the phone, installing it, tapping the right root method, rebooting, installing rom manager or something like it, flashing cwm recovery with it, downloading the latest version of cm, making a nandroid backup and flashing the .zip from the sd card using cwm to get cyanogenmod on this phone.
Also, a question of opinion, next year I will have a £100 budget to get a new sim free or payg smartphone with. I will see if I can get a refurbished s3, but it probably will not hit this price point. Do you think the i9000 refurbished would be a good choice for this budget, particularly if I then root it with framaroot and installing cm
Thanks for all your help and for the quick reply.
Sorry about being a n00b, I am learning...

well, next year is still to come , so the way things are going, you might even get an S3 for that price

Well hopefully I can get an s3 :fingers-crossed:, but whatever I get, the S is an awesome phone. We wouldn't have the nexus s, s2, s3, s4 etc without it.
Thanks for helping me, I'm not scared of Odin, but I tend to try to avoid it if there's another possible way.
I think, for someone like me, who is probably not going to stay stock for more than about a week, its better to get an older high-range phone than a brand new low range phone.
So, I think that's probably the end of this thread. Thanks to everyone who helped me.

[Q] How to delete files that are flashed?!

Hello there, I'm just new to the forum and i'm here because I need your help!
Okey, let's start from the beginning.
I want to root my SIII mini ( GT I8190 ) because I saw a site that enumerates the benefits or good things that you can
access if you root your phone. So I searched and searched and found a guide. I followed all the instructions and ended bricking my phone or having a problem with the
firmware thingy thing that I cant explain because I am not smart as you guys are. So I almost messed up the whole thing but
luckily, I fixed it by, I dunno.. So let's continue, I tried and tried searching for how to root my phone and I found the one! But when
I went to recovery mode, I can see the logo, the whole logo but I think its stuck and I think it is because of the files that I flashed
from Odin ( which is 6 by the way, 6 files ), So I want them to be removed!!!
PPPPPPPLEASE HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!!
THANK YOU!

firmware thingy thing that I cant explain because I am not smart as you guys are. So I almost messed up the whole thing but
luckily, I fixed it by, I dunno.. So let's continue, I tried and tried searching for how to root my phone and I found the one! But when
I went to recovery mode, I can see the logo, the whole logo but I think its stuck and I think it is because of the files that I flashed
from Odin ( which is 6 by the way, 6 files ), So I want them to be removed!!!
PPPPPPPLEASE HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!!
THANK YOU!

download stock firmware and flash it with odin and to root your device download VRoot for me it is the easy way to root my device I'm new with s3 mini so I see that it is the easy way to root it
When you flash with odin you fully overwrite one or more partition on your phone, that means that you lost what was there, so "delete some files" wont change a thing...
It would be useful to know what you've flashed, but probably you just need to flash a stock firmware.
You can find a stock firmware at sammobile.com, just search for your model (exact model, fw is different for N/L/T variants) and region (if you live in europe any fw starting with I8190XX is ok. You may follow this guide for instructions and troubleshoting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159660
Anyways there's a very easy way to root an s3 mini, just follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU everybody for your help! THANKS!!

My Note GT-N7000 don't start anymore

Hi, I wanted to change the ROM of my old GT-N7000 as I recently got a Note 4 but I did what I should have never done.
I wanted to install TWRP to get the Spirit ROM. TWRP app downloaded well from the Play Store and I did it!
When I restarted the Note I stayed with the Samsung Galaxy Note screen and since several days I cannot found out anything to install a new Rom.
I searched the Web, found out a few guide saying to install CWM but I don't have any Recovery mode available now.
I still get the connection in Odin when I put the Note in download mode but that's all.
Please, if someone could help and tell me what to do. I'm a homeless and all my money is going into cyber to search for solutions.
I really need one.
Thanks anyway...
Really, nobody can help?
Hello. Can you install any recovery via Odin? Try to install officiall firmware via Odin.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I just don't have any idea of I could install.
Everything I tried failed or links are too old and things are not available anymore.
I do think I should format or erase everything and reinstall something but what and from where ?
If you can help I would thank you a lot as the phone is unusable since several days now...
Did you tried the firmware way?

Okay, so...
From my old stuff in an external HD i Have this :
ROM STOCK WIPE SAMSUNG - N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1_OXA (GingerBread).zip
Rooted Stock Odex N7000XXLC1 (GingerBread France).rar
XEU-N7000XXLT9-20130611091825 (Jelly Bean Euro).zip
In the link you gave me they ask to download a firmware from SamMobile but they are 3 for the French GT-N7000 and my last update was a 4.1.2 working with any provider, even in Spain (I do live in Spain). Secondly, one have to be a premium member to download those firmware.
I think I should be able to install what I need using files I already have but Odin doesn't recognize .zip or .rar files and I don't know what to do. I upgraded the system a few years ago and don't remember how.
I also have no idea if zhat i recently did with TWRP changed partitions size and if it is the case then I have no idea of how to use PIT files.
Also, those guides refer to versions of program not available anymore and sometimes they changed names of buttons...
Have you repartitioned your phone? Those .zip files have .md5.tar files and odin recognise then in the AP section. I think that the 1-st .zip maybe is firmware. For download firmwares only you need to register for free to download firmwares with slow download speed (aproximately hour or two for downloading a single firmware file).

No I didn't change size of partitions...
I finally tested a XEU-N7000XXLT9-20130611091825 (Jelly Bean Euro) I had (don't know where it comes from). Unziped and opened in Odin with the AP button.
It installed this new ROM and the phone started but is not rooted anymore. I have now a 4.1.2 which doesn't seem to be one a got before,
At least I can start the phone...
What surprise me is to see the TWRP app on the phone screen and also SuperSU. SuperSU say the phone is not rooted.
Now, I suppose I have to forget everything about TWRP and must think about CWM no ?
If I want to test and then, install different ROM I sometimes see that TWRP is the one needed to do the job...
What do you think I should do now ?
Root the device using CWM or something different ?
You can try everything you want in the Android development section but this time follow the steps as they are and use the kernels and recoveries that are suitable for the deserved rom. Probably your Note is with custom 4.1.2 now. I am now using my Note with Leanige OS, based on CM12 and android 6.0 and am not having problems plus the phone is running very smooth and fast. This rom is using own Kernel, recovery and google apps(gaps) package.

You really interest me...
I'm surprised cause it's because I found out a guide to instal a 6.0.1 which needed TWRP that drive me to install it.
I'm really confused too because I downloaded TWRP app from the Play Store and it accepted to downlñoad and install the app to my phone. It also accepted to download the Rom and it's when I restarted the device that I met me with an unusable phone...
So ?...
Sure, if I wasn't alive I wouldn't have done that but is it all my fault ????
I would ne glad to get all the steps you did and files you got to install your ROM on mine Ç(as far as it speak french and spanish too )
Is it "Leanige OS" or "LineageOS ?
What about the battery ? The autonomy ?
And I must say I'm a homeless and don't have a computer with a 22= screen in my backpack. Also I have only 1 Gb of data each month so...
Most of the time when I have problem that means I have to go to cyber and this is never free....
Then I cannot really read everyday everything about all my devices ( and I'm not only speaking about phones)
Anyway thanks a lot to everybody who help me...
This is what I use now : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/development/rom-nightowl-alpha1-t3255536 It is stable and usable as a every day phone. I followed every step Bauner wrote and I don't have issues for now. Battery life depends on the use of the phone and how old is the battery. Mine is 2012 and it can hold 1 day and it is logical.
Try using Kies to restore it. I had to use Kies to update the OS on my bratty little sisters Note as she had gotten it running full throttle all the time.

Hi, I will try now to upgrade the ROM but wanted to ask you if you make any change to your partition size and if yes what did you do, I mean how much place did you allow for the system?
Tell me if your phone is rooted and how you did it and if you have CWM or TWRP installed please...
Thanks
I downloaded those two files:
N7000_STOCK_PIT.zip => In case I have to reinitiate partition size one day
n7000_(16gb)_4_6_8_10_12gb.zip => Cause I think this one should be the one I need.
I suppose I should be allowed to use the ROM I just previously installed which give me a 4.1.2
Well....mine is repartitioned with 8GB internal and 5gb for sdcard0. It is rooted of course with TWRP. Rooting comes with the rom. It has SU instaled and to root the device you only need to go in the dev options and to tick on the root acess.

I am dowloading this https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=25384 and I am a little bit surpised cause of the file size...
It should be bigger for a full OS no?
I'm a little bit stuck with this http://opengapps.org/?arch=arm&api=6.0&variant=micro
What version should I get and how did you install TWRP ? The las version of this ROM must be installed with it...
Well I lied to you. I am using Philz touch CMW recovery and sorry for that. The size of the Rom is normal. With the Gapps you just need to hit the download button (red one) and flash it later. Install could be not a big problem. The steps are in the post. If you didn't find them here they are: Copy Rom + Google Apps to your sdcard.
3.flash PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1.tar.md5 (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120702299) to get cwm recovery by using odin or mobile odin
4. boot into recovery
5. flash this kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526788121 to get an updated cwm recovery
(this step will make your old rom unbootable stuck in the n7000 screen but you can boot into recovery with press and hold "home" and "volume+" buttons and power on your phone)
6. you need to reboot! your device now to recovery
7. you are now in the updated recovery and you need to do a factory reset (and to go sure you should also format the /system partition)
8. you can now install the rom and gapps and reboot your device
