Hi,
Recently i have just switched from IPhone to Galaxy Note, while really need some advise on get it "rooted" and flash with ICS (Since many people feed back its eventually better" perhaps someone can guide me a proper way of backing up my system as well as flashing it?
my phone details as below:-
Model - GT-N7000
Android Version - 2.3.6
Baseband - N7000DXKL2
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA1(I suppose this should be KJ1? but on my phone it shows this...)
Build number - GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
in such situation should i proceed to get it flash with the KJ1 method?
yes your ROM is newer, so you have to downgrade it.
You can downgrade to KJ1 pre rooted ROM, download link you may find on 4th line on my signature.

So in summary all i need to do is to downgrade my ROM to KJ1, follow the guide to root it, then only flash it to ICS?
by doing all these will it void the warranty of the phone?
Forget about ICS for right now..I would consider it advanced to install and for beginners I would stick to rooted GB builds until you got more familar with the phone and flashing etc..

Yes, Get Root + CWM
To install ICS, follow installation guide available with ICS ROM you want to install
Somwat agree with MrDSL, at least you shud read a lot before installing ICS.
Warranty can be regain by Reflashing Stock ROM.
Yup, indeed doing more research before i proceed to flash my SGN, sincerely thank you for all the advise and guidance though.
Rooting is pretty clear to you now I think.
As for flashing ICS ROMs, I don't actually agree with anyone above. I have earlier flashed TeamRocket's ICS ROM, Imilka's AOSP ROM and ICS Stunner on my note. ICS Stunner is actually one of the best you could have for ICS. (Almost everything works, or rather everything actually works ). Now I am using Imilka's CM9 port from SGS2, very very smooth, stable and most of the things work. Download and install instructions are pretty clear in their respective threads. I would actually suggest you to go ahead with ICS ROMs (ICS Stunner or CM9 especially)!
PM me if you need any help!

Hello, what is the best ROM for ICS on Samsung Galaxy S? I'm fed up of stock ROM being slow and want something fast and want ICS I've never flashed before and downloaded "Onecosmic's ICS Port Android 4.0.3 RC2.11" but don't have a clue on how to start flashing it, as he hasn't made a noob tutorial
Any help would be appreciated.
How about trying teamhacksung's ICS port aka soon to be CM9 rom? Just follow the guide on the first page.

But I'm a noob :-( I don't even know how to root or put CWM on... what ROM would you recommend for noob like me, ICS one or CM7? I Just want something really fast that will make games smoother and that works fully....
Do you know how to flash a kernel via Odin? You will be rooted and have CWM automatically once you flash a custom kernel. I would recommend you to use a custom GB rom, as not all apps are compatible with ICS and more bug free.

oh ok.. is the standard CM7 the fastest ROM then?
In my opinion, no. Perhaps you would want to try the Simplicity rom.
Hi.. If I install LPF ICS 4.0.3 and root it as suggested here, will I still get KIES updates when they are available?

As long as the firmware that you want to flash is Stock, you will be able to update, but you will lose Root.
The Rom in your link is stock but from Taiwan, so the CSC will have limited update options in the future. More details are given in the original thread of this Rom here.
Hope that helped!
Yes thanks.. well as its newer than the LPY German, I just thought maybe it'd be better to install this one instead. What do you suggest?

I suggest not to flash a LPY Rom, there is high risk of bricking your device. If you are not so familiar with this i advice you to look around for details about the procedures.
IMO, flash via PC-Odin a GB Rom, or a Custom GB rom (Chrack's is the Best) and then if you want a custom ICS pick one of the new, such as MidTeam 1.3, CM9, RocketRom etc.
Hope i could help!
I see.. u think even the new Taiwan one LPF would be risky? Cause I read there are many things which are not working in CM9. About MidTeam and Rocket I don't know.. will have to look at them.

LPF is better and safer than LPY.
Since you want the LPF just flash it, many people say that it works fine.
To be clear here, i haven't tried it. I prefer CM9 but it's just a matter of taste after all!
Public Service Announcement:
DO NOT FLASH OR WIPE USING ANY ICS REPACK OR STOCK KERNEL
Not even wiping in stock recovery is safe with affected kernels. Almost all ICS kernels for the GT-N7000 are affected.

Please stay on GB for now... There is a bug on EMMC that effects all leaked ICS roms so far. Read the Public Service Announcment:
Even official LPF rom is effected by this bug.
The ZSLPF official release - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1661590 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1#post26275391 are the first two reports.

Hi,i have sgn with officially updated ics (4.0.3) not rooted yet.i wish to switch on custom rom (rocket rom or cm9 based rom),but i m really afraid by hard brick issue,plz help me out what is the correct steps to proceed to flash this rom without bricking my device(emmc bug).which kernal is safe one or which rom is more safe.kindly help me............
Read, read, read. That's what sticky posts are for in android development.
There's a sticky in the development section that will tell you all you need to know. Just flash a safe gb or ics kernel before changing roms.
Sent from my Paranoid Android GT-N7000. It doesn't get much better than this!

Hey, I also Will be getting my Note in the morning (just came from the HTC One S forums)
This hard brick issue worries me too. Is ICS official for the Note now ? And what are my chances of receiving it with ICS not GB ?
Is it as simple as you say ? Flash a safe Kernel then away I go ? I know how to use ODIN, Used it a million times for the SGS1, I just have this uncontrollable urge to use a custom ROM the moment i get my new phones lol, I'm not a big fan of stock to be honest.
Thanks guys ! Looking forward to being a part of this community
Only one way to brick your phone: Full wipe through CWM on ICS official and affected kernels, read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943
Use Abyss kernel 3.9 - 4.2 for wipe.
Hi,
I'm currently on stock ICS (4.0.4).
My phone has recently started occasionally/randomly restarting itself.
I've read that doing a factory reset or data wipe will result in a brick so was thinking of switching to a custom rom.
What's the best Jelly Bean rom? or isn't there a good stable one?
If not then what's the best stable/usable ICS rom and how do I get there from stock?
I know I need to flash GB via pc odin, but what after that?
There are warnings that say "FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK!"
I just wanna be as clear as possible. Would hate to have a brick.
Thanks.

JB roms are still in development and not so stable for daily use yet. For flashing custom ICS you do not have to flash GB rom, just flash safe custom ICS kernel and flash custom rom through cwm recovery.
You can also wipe your current rom after flashing safe custom kernel. No need to flash custom rom just because you cannot wipe on stock kernel
For my personal of view, liquid smooth jb v2.0 beta is the best at the moment.
If you on rooted ics. You can flash jb rom thru safe kernel such as cm9 kernel, gb kernel or notecore kernel.
But please read carefully and understand what noted at op and follow the installation method.
Good luck.

ok I see.
So I need to go from Stock ICS > Safe ICS > Custom ROM
Have you guys got a link to an easy tutorial?
Thanks

Never Never Wipe on ICS as stated in op.
Now everybody knows JB is still under development and in preview. So I think you should have to wait for a stable version to enjoy the juice
For ICS you can try Cleanote v5,Kingdroid or RR for better performance and battery life
Here are the links :-
Cleanote v5 ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088
Rocket Rom ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654838

Here is the best thread for rooting and flashing custom kernel on Note- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Once you are rooted and on safe custom kernel you can follow the instructions on your chosen custom rom OP.
In terms of safer installation method. It have too many of opinions around note forum. Some will say flash any rom or nandroid by using abssy 4.2 kernel, some will say not neccesary to use abssy 4.2 kernel with the secure and safe kernel exists such as notecore and speedmod kernel.
Some will advice you must go back gb before flash cm base rom and some will tell you totally bull**** and not neccesary to go back gb before flash cm base rom with secure tw kernel around.
Confuse? For me, all of them have the right opinion and nothing wrong with them. Thats your own smartphone which cost about usd 500. If you scare of something, just follow the long installation method. If you feel lazy to take do such of long intallation step, you can always use the secure kernel to swap in between gb, tw and cm base rom.
But anyway, is your own asset, your own choice. You are the one who will take full responsibility for doing any modification, rooting and flashing. Not anyone else here.
You can always refer dr.ketan advice.

Thanks everyone.
I will follow all your advice when I'm ready flash the rom. Most likely tomorrow.
I would click the thanks button for you all but I am "limited to 8 thanks per day"
Thanks again.

Simpler if you are on warranty and you can make use of it and off you don't want to flash or to scared to do a flash then wipe if the phone bricks you can send it on ssc for repair on warranty.

Got a friend with a StraightTalk Captivate SGH i897 that is sluggish and driving her crazy, so I want to root and get her on a stable 4.1 or better. Any of you guys have an unlocked version that flash? Should I stick with an AT&T ROM?

Nope. Throw Cyanogenmod on that baby.
GB: CM7
ICS: SlimICS
JB: CM10.1.3
4.2.2 performance wise is the same as 4.1, but you get access to Google Now and a few more tidbits here and there (like the new Clock app)

Thanks for the reply, knew if I was patient someone would chime in.
I poorly worded my question.......I really should have instead asked if I can flash the i897 like any other Captivate? Same root process, etc?

Pretty much. With Samsung device, you don't even have to root it.
1. Get Odin/Heimdall
2. Flash a kernel with CWM
3. Flash Cyanogenmod 7
4. Flash whatever rom you want.

No need to flash CM7. Easy to follow update guide here -> Guide.
I recommend CM10.1.3 Stable as first custom ROM, Android 4.2.2 based.

I find that some kernel don't play well with the Cyanogenmod 9/10/Any other ICS JB roms, especially if they're kernel for AOSP, and the whole BML to MTD process gets a little iffy(it never boots, just constantly reboot to recovery, partitions can't be formatted, mounted partition are always empty). If you're starting from a Samsung ROM's kernel, it goes OK most of the time, but if you start from Semaphore JB or GearKernel or another AOSP kernel, the installation process just skipped the BML to MTD conversion, or screw it up somehow. It may just be me, but doing one extra step can't hurt
The phone in question runs stock ROM. First needs to be updated to GB 2.3.x, than Corn Kernel + CM10.1 Stable will update it to JB 4.2.2. No need to flash another GB-based ROM after the stock GB. CM10.1 Stable installation process has no issues with Corn Kernel. Tested many times.
