Hello everyone.
My problem sounds strange.
Whatever ICS build I flash, I cannot uninstall app or clear data.
As a away to fix this, I've reflashed back to different stock GB ROMs ( KJ3, KJ4, KK3, Cl1 wipe) and the problem still the same.
As I had read somewhere; this problem occurs only with some NEW Notes which come with indirectly rootable ROM and you downgrade it to earlier stock GB in order to root.
The initial Firmware that came with the device LA1 ...
Any suggestion please ?!
worth to know that I am currently on TMT 1.0. I 've tried earlier version of MIDNOTE ,ZCLP6 and everything was the same "trying to uninstall does work and application info always shows Computing"

Have you tried with Titanium Backup Pro? That allows uninstall, at least for me.
Cheers!
the reason why is cause you will not be fully rooted properly

Neither the Titanium back nor the market way fixed my problem to uninstall apps!

To make sure you have proper root, try to paste anything (a pic or video) to the /system folder and see if it's saved
Tested, root works perfectly .... but it's still not fixed
Ok try this:
-download AbyssNote Kernel version 4.2 and ICS Stunner and put them in your sd card
- reboot to recovery and flash AbyssNote Kernel version 4.2 (ONLY use version 4.2)
- after flashing is done, go to advanced menu---> reboot recovery
- now your in Redpill Recovery, go to install menu and flash ICS Stunner 1.4.19
- press reboot system after you finish installation
Test if uninstalling is working this way

Thanks very much
Finally it works, but I've lost root privileges.
Do I need to reflash everything starting from android ?!
Because I've flashed this working method over TMT with wipe data/ factory reset!

Can you flash AbyssNote kernel version 4.2? If you can then you're lucky, just flash it, go to advanced menu and choose Reboot Recovery and from Redpill Touch recovery flash your preferred ROM
Hey.
Yesterday i was trying to do an update of the 'SU binary' in Superuser under the ICS StuNNeR v1.4.26.1 ROM. But it didn't let me do it.
It told me something about S-ON and about not having a root access. So i thought that i was kinda screwed.
So i downgraded to an Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread ROM via PC Odin that was pre-rooted to see if that would help and installed CF-Root v5.3 via the 'Initial CF Root Flasher'.
After i had installed that Android 2.3.6 ROM, i made sure that i actually had full root access by copying a file from my SD card to the system folder after pressing the R/W button in Root Explorer.
That went all fine. I could also delete that file in the system folder again. So all was fine here.
Now i went into CWM and did those things.
1. Wipe Dalvik Cache
2. Wipe Cache Partition
2. Format Data / Factory Reset
After that i installed ICS StuNNeR v1.4.26.1 via CWM again (i have tried with other ICS ROMs to).
The installation of the ROM went all fine.
Now i'm in the ICS StuNNeR ROM on my Galaxy Note and i'm trying to update the 'SU binary' in Superuser.
Here it will fail and give me this message: This updater cannot update the su binary on phones that have some kind of write protection on the system partition like S-ON. You can continue to use Superuser with your outdated binary, or update su with ROM Manager.
And when i try to press the R/W button in Root Explorer here, then nothing happens either.
So my question is, what i'am doing wrong here to not get full root?
I have tried every possible ways to get root on any ICS ROMs, but without any luck.
If someone can give me an EXACT way of getting the full root back on ICS, then i would be gladly.
Did you flash the ICS repack?

Well, I was double checking the instructions on Stunner and he doesn't say you have to flash the repack anymore coming from Gingerbread. He said tested and worked fine with CF root. Is the instructions of the OP of Stunner what you did?
---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------
I know on .19 of Stunner neobuddy switched to SuperSU, but he switched back to Superuser for compatibility with kernel. I'm on .19 now so I can't check the SU binary updater to see if I have any problems or not. Maybe someone else can!

Yes.
This is what i did.
Backup data apps.
Download and copy latest Stunner ROM on your SD Card.
Make sure you are on Rooted ROM. Reboot in recovery.
ONLY IF YOU ARE ON GINGERBREAD: Flash Abyss Kernel. Goto Advanced and Reboot Recovery. Tested and confirmed working on CF-Root Kernel.
Wipe Data (Recommended but not mandatory if you on Stunner ROM already)
Flash ROM.
Flash suitable Modem (Optional, recommended ICS LP5 modem)(not included in ROM)
Reboot and Read Caution.
Do not restore system apps or system data.
So yeah, as you guess. I have no freaking clue on why i can't get full root on ICS StuNNeR ROM (or other ICS ROMs).
Just follow chasmodo's guide in the Development forum (it's a sticky so you'll easily find it)..
Your problem is when you flashed Stunner directly from CWM recovery..
That guide has all the necessary steps, just follow it exactly and you'll be good with full root
So, you can't put a file in /system on Stunner at all? What about TI Backup? Do you use it? Can it gain root access?
I'm trying to work through this with you as much as I can, I'm not the smartest person on here by any means .
I want to tell you to install SuperSU, but I'm not sure if that's best. I tell you what, could you flash .19 Stunner instead of .26.1 and see if it works with root?
Edit:
I'm glad matius44 is on here to help you now!

Are you sure you used Abyss kernel version 4.2 exactly? It has worked for many users but there are minority who did not work for them too..
However, if you want to flash Stunner you can flash the ICS Repack by Chainfire (LP1 ONLY, NOT LP5) and from that you can flash Stunner and maintain root..But it's been discovered recently that repacks kernels are dangerous so I do not advice you to do it, you flash it on your own risk..

Yeah, i have used the AbyssNote kernel v4.2. Is there any difference from the AbyssNote kernel 4.2 Final CW Touch to the AbyssNote kernel 4.2 Final RedPill Touch ?
I used the AbyssNote kernel 4.2 Final CW Touch one though.
EDIT: Oh, i actually did flash an Android 2.3.6 LC1 ROM that is rooted before i flashed an ICS ROM with the AbyssNote v4.2 kernel. Maybe that's the problem?

Oh ok, then i will try again with the RedPill kernel to see if this will work then.
Stay put.
Installed a rooted Android 2.3.6 ROM via PC Odin.
Then i used the 'Initial CF Root Flasher' after placing the CF-Root v5.3 (LC1) zImage file in the 'zImage' folder and then used the 'already-rooted.bat' file to get the CF-Root 5.3.
Now i used CWM Recovery (By pressing Volume Up + Home and Power button) to flash the CheckROM NoteHD v6 (LC1) ROM. Yes, i did check that i had full root access here before i did continue.
Now when i'm in the CheckROM NoteHD ROM, then i opened the CWM application and then booted into CWM Recovery and then flashed the 'AbyssNote Kernel v4.2 Red Touch Original Logo'.
Then i restarted the CWM Recovery.
From here i did this.
Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Cache Partition and Format Data / Factory Reset.
Now i installed the Nandroid backup i had of my ICS StuNNeR ROM earlier before i got those problems.
And after i did this, then i finally could update the 'SU binary' in the SuperSU application and get full access to the System folder with Root Explorer .

Am afraid to say you're one of the unlucky few who this method does not apply to them
Now you have 3 solutions:
1- From a rooted Gingerbread ROM flash the LP1 (notice LP1 ONLY, NOT LP5) using Odin (Mobile or PC), and after that flash Stunner from recovery. However, I do not recommend this seeing the recent news of how dangerous ICS kernels are..
2- From a rooted Gingerbread ROM flash the new official CM9 (taking into consideration the known issues) since it uses an open source kernel instead of one of the leaks' kernel
3- Wait for official ICS release so we have more reliable ICS custom kernels
Your choice mate

Hey, i edited my post while you replied to it, so check out the edited post
EDIT: I saw you made an edit that you saw that i fixed it.
I have read particular threads here in xda note forum... and believe me, I am getting more and more confused on the procedure on how to get back to GINGERBREAD as I read more and more about this stuff... Forgive me, but my mind is only like PENTIUM 4, I dont really understand some High-level procedures...
So here is some details
Reason why to go back to GINGERBREAD:
Because I'm afraid that my Note has suffered "slight" emmc brick. I could not mount /system as R/W on root explorer and File expert or ES file Manager also tried remounting using terminal emulator...
History:
during my CRISKELO V8 days, I have flashed in CWM the "hacked S VOICE" and after reboot, experienced random reboots and FC's. and then it could not read my internal as well as my external memory card, and says i need to reformat it, so i reformat it and everything went well.. but still getting FC's and random reboots however it can now read my internal and external sd card, so to get rid of FC's and randome reboot I flashed Kingdroid v5.1.1 final version and everything went well, smooth and all running except that i noticed that i could not mount my /system as RW so decided to revert back to gingerbread.
Current Phone Info
pda: n7000xxlrg
phone: n7000xxlrb
csc: n7000dbtlrg
ROM: Kingdroid ICS Note Mania v5.1.1 lrg
KERNEL: speedmod-n7000-ics #k3-11
Android version; 4.0.4
Planned Procedure in reverting back to Gingerbread
1. Flashed Abyss kernel 4.2 (the one with touch type CWM) via PC ODin. (may increase flash counter but it doesnt matter)
2. boot in CWM and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
3. Install Gingerbread ROM.zip via CWM (probably Kingdroid gingerbread rom)
4. boot in CWM and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and reboot system
Please tell me if my procedure is correct and please advise me if i am missing something... I desperately need your help here guys... cause i dont wanna cause more trouble to my note as he suffered a lot...
THANK YOU!!!!

OK... one thing I forgot ot mention is that... after i have installed Kingdroid v5.1.1 Final, i have no superuser app and busybox... now i tried to install this app via play store, the result are as follows
SuperSU : Installed correctly but failed to update binaries
Busybox Installer app: Installed correctly but could not install any version of the busybox
Another thing is that i have no space left on my /system it is 100% used?? why is that?
does this means I have partial root??? If thats the case... then what can I do to obtain full root???
Thanks....

It seems like you don’t have full root. Revert back to GB. Root your device. Upgrade it to any ICS version. Remember to do full wipe on safe kernels. Not on stock ICS kernels.

Ok probably I would revert back to Gingerbread later, because i am at the office right now. I will follow your instruction on reverting to gingerbread and as of now I am downloading n7000dxlc2 2.3.6 for indonesia... but i am from Philippines will it work for me???
another question... why is my /system 100% used?? Is it because i do not wipe data/factory reset when i install ROMS and so some system files remains in my phone?? it is stated in ROM thread that it is ok to flash their ROM even without wiping.... its really weird...
Thanks Sir for your response:good:

For the first question . YES it will work for you.
Second after installing Rom you have to do all three Wipes for a clean install. Your system shows full because you didn't perform wipes after flashing

Its too early to come to the point that it is affected or not. First complete the steps. Root it. Then Try again in root explorer.

Before I begin, yes... I did search and look through a few threads with similar titles but did not find my problem.
I am not a phone geek and I am new to all this, but I rooted my Note along with a "Franco kernel", which worked successfully. My phone booted up as it was before (in fact I noticed absolutely no difference in my phone, whatsoever).
The problems begun when I tried to install an "Abyss" kernel via CWM, which apparently installed successfully, but the phone would never get past boot-up (not so successful after all, huh?). I realized that it wasn't going to work, so I though no problem, and went back into CWM and re-installed the Franco kernel that I was using before (which worked). Strangely, this kernel, too, would now no longer boot.
I successfully restored the phone with a GB rom via odin (teriible rom), and proceeded to install the so-called "Hydracore" kernel (love the names) via cwm.... this kernel made things even worse. Once again the installation was supposedly "successful", but the phone doesn't go past boot. This time, it gets stuck on a very dim black screen, which isn't actually black, it is a dark creamy/pink hue that you can only notice in absolute darkness. (WTF?) This screen has random black blotches on it, but again, if you are in a lit up room the screen looks completely black and you cannot tell that it is actually lit. When I say that this kernel made the problems even worse, I say that because when this happens (dim black screen), I cannot even enter CWM recovery at all to try and install a different kernel. From here, I can only access download mode, and have no choice but to restore the phone with the GB rom via odin. I did so, and proceeded to install the latest version of "Hydracore" (v5.4) posted right here on XDA by the member 'chasmodo.' This time, I did the installation of the kernel via odin, which, once again, was supposedly successful... and once again a lie, as the phone just goes into the same black screen, with no option other than download mode.
The sole reason I have wasted hours of my life researching and understanding mobile phone terminology in the past few days is so that I can have jellybean on my Note. It seems that I am unable to do this because the Kernels are not working on my device. I have a very powerful and capable phone, which is currently stuck on this GB rom (which I think has to be the most terrible piece of coding ever made) so any help on this would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
can you try go back to stock GB rom.. then upgrade to ICS and root using Dr Ketans method and then install Hydracore
You flashed Hydracore on GB rom? that's the main reason behind your problem, this Kernel is not for GB. Now either flash custom GB kernel or flash stock GB firmware using pc odin and then root it. Check post # 2 in this thread for rooting. (I guess you know how to do this )
Once you have root and cwm recovery, you can flash any custom rom you want.

This screen has random black blotches on it, but again, if you are in a lit up room the screen looks completely black and you cannot tell that it is actually lit. When I say that this kernel made the problems even worse, I say that because when this happens (dim black screen), I cannot even enter CWM recovery at all to try and install a different kernel. From here, I can only access download mode, and have no choice but to restore the phone with the GB rom via odin. I did so, and proceeded to install the latest version of "Hydracore" (v5.4) posted right here on XDA by the member 'chasmodo.' This time, I did the installation of the kernel via odin, which, once again, was supposedly successful... and once again a lie, as the phone just goes into the same black screen, with no option other than download mode.
The sole reason I have wasted hours of my life researching and understanding mobile phone terminology in the past few days is so that I can have jellybean on my Note. It seems that I am unable to do this because the Kernels are not working on my device. I have a very powerful and capable phone, which is currently stuck on this GB rom (which I think has to be the most terrible piece of coding ever made) so any help on this would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there, sorry to hear of your challenges.
One thing to remember before flashing is the nature of safe / unsafe kernels. Equally as important is compatible / non compatible kernels. It's not clear from your post but did you flash Abyss on an ICS ROM? If so, Abyss is a GB kernel. It will install but the ROM wont run due to lack of compatibility.
Abyss is used by many as a Safe kernel, a base to flash a new ROM from . Alternatively, it can be used to "downgrade" to Gingerbread ROMs.
If you are intent on trying a JB ROM, I would suggest a doing a full wipe (use the numerous guides on XDA) and a kernel clean (jBroid Script Cleaner for example). Now, research Chasmodo's excellent Kernel Repository and choose a kernel. Hydracore 4.3 Standard is a good "benchmark" however you could try the Official CM10 kernel from Entropy. Reboot to Recovery and flash your JB ROM of choice.
You will now have "Full Wiped" (including Script Clean), installed a Safe (Compatible) Kernel and flashed a compatible ROM.
For what its worth, I found GB to be an excellent ROM, particularly 2.3.6 and 2.3.7. CheckROM was one of my favorite ROMs on the S2 and they didnt even feel the need (till recently) to make an ICS version.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Yes, I forgot to mention that when I rooted it I was running official 4.0.3 which I got OTA. After I rooted I tried the Abyss kernel. I had read that if you try and install CM10 straight from ICS you can brick, and that you had to downgrade to GB to do this. There must have been a misunderstanding on my part as I though that installing Abyss would downgrade me to GB.
What I don't understand is that I have now installed a GB rom, yet the Abyss gb kernel still does not work.
The two members that posted mentioned that I should root, though I did mention in the OP that it is already rooted... Am I missing something?
Anyway, I want to avoid having to download any more big files. I already have the latest "nightly" build of CM10 in my SD card. Is there any GB kernel that I can install from where I am now that would make it safe to install the CM10 zip?

If I were on a GB ROM and wanted to run CM10 I would Full Wipe (including Cache and Dalvik) then do the following -
Flash Official CM10 kernel.
Reboot to Recovery (do not go straight to ROM flash)
Once back in Recovery, flash the CM10 ROM.
Reboot device.

So the official CM10 kernel is a gb kernel? Because remember that is what I'm currently on.
And just to make sure I got you... wipe everything, install kernel (I don't understand what you mean by "go straight to rom flash"), but then not "reboot system", instead "reboot to recovery", then install CM10 rom?
Also, when you say a "full wipe" do you mean that it will erase everything like a factory reset and delete all my apps and everything else? And is there anyway to install CM10 without doing this or is that the only way?
Cm10 kernel is a jelly bean kernel, so gb rom will not run under it.
Full wipe does mean erasing everything. Coming from gb, there is no other way to install, you need a full wipe, remember, you're updating two full revisions of the os, so it's not surprising a full wipe is needed. If you're worried about your apps, root gb before upgrading and use titanium backup to backup you're apps and then restore them when on cm10.

If you are on rooted GB Rom and want to flash a custom JB or ICS one, this is what you do:
1. drop into recovery
2. do a full wife™ (factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik)
3. flash your JB/ICS Rom
4. reboob
Nothing else is needed, no intermediate steps like flashing another kernel in between, and especially no running Jbroid or Sybr kernel cleaning script.

You telling me that I can safely go straight to JB from my current GB rom and kernel?
I already have a "nightly" JB rom on my SD card, so just to be clear, all I do is go into CWM recovery, do a "full" wipe (how do I do that by the way?) and install the JB rom from zip?
Yes, you can go ahead. Just follow the instructions kindly provided by chasmodo.
But please, do not forget to flash GApps after you flashed the JB "nightly ROM which is on your SD Card". Otherwise you won't have Google account, play store etc yada yada.
Full wipe (aka full-wife™) means wipe data/factory reset. Nothing else.

Great! I am downloading the GApps for JB now. How do I install them? I understand that this is also done through CWM recovery, but how do I instal them? do I install the JB rom and reboot to recovery and then just install GApps from zip before rebooting system?
Also, does the full wipe have to be done in CWM recovery, or can I just do the normal wipe on the phone menu before entering recovery?
You flash the ROM by pointing the recovery to the "ROM.zip", the same is valid for "GApps.zip".
So you do the following, no reboot in recovery in between those 2 steps!
Install zip (from where it is located, internal/external SD )
*ROM.zip
*Gapps.zip
*reboot system
Wipe data/factory reset is done (most of the times) in recovery. Just get used to it. Saves you some bad habits on doing it on stock ICS ...

OK install ROM and then install GApps straight away, got it.
Just about the wipe, is it a simple one button wipe that wipes everything, or are there several things that I have to wipe independently? This is the part I'm not too sure about.
Just go into recovery and have a look. I mean, a really close look! Your topic was "need help to install a kernel" not "I don't know how to use recovery and please can someone come over to my place in order to explain me CWM recovery".
Sorry. Everything has been explained. Can't (or rather dont want to) help you further than what has been already mentioned. Period.

That's fine. I'll go into recovery and have a look. Thanks for the help that you did give anyway.
It worked! I have been messing around with my new Note on Jellybean and looking through all the settings. It doesn't have project butter (or at least the project wasn't very successful), but still miles ahead of Touchwiz.
Just want to extend a big thanks to everyone that has helped me out. Much appreciated.
So, this is what happened. I first upgraded to the latest official JB 4.1.2 XXLSA firmware. I noticed that it still wasn't as fast as I'd like, and wanted to try a custom ROM instead. I read through the guides in here and get that I have to downgrade to a GB ROM first in order for me not to hardbrick my phone. So, I download "N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries" from that list over stock ROM's in the Q&A root guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 . I follow the flashing guide to the letter, puts my phone in download mode, runs the flash via Odin, the phone restarts, and everything goes south. Basically this happens: When I start my phone it get's to the point in the GB initial startup where I'm to touch the Android to start, but then all it does is throw messages at me about this service and that service having stopped responding, untill the phone reboots. So now I have reflashed back to the JB ROM.
So basically, what am I doing wrong, and what can I do to make a proper downgrade so I can get rooted, install CWM and get down and get it on with some custom ROM's?
Thx in advance!
Same happened with me. I flashed GB and was getting force close messages. But not a big problem. Just flash GB rom again. And after flashing just delete all user data from recovery and reboot. U wont get those messages any more.

You always need to WIPE data / factory reset after downgrading from JB .. GB is safe to go ahead.. if you choose ICS then first flash a safe kernel and then do wipe
It seems to me that KK5 is non wipe, which explains why you got those messages. The rest is detailed in nokiamodeln91's message BTW, JB is still not official for our Notes. What you installed was a leak with a safe kernel (if it was Philz).

Exactly.
I had this issue too when downgrading to GB. Wipe Cache and Dalvik and you should be ok from then on.
Wow. A lot of replies in just a single day. You guys are awesome
Now you say that the KK5 is non-wipe. Are there any GB-roms which are wipe, so to speak? Or do I have to do the flash to GB, enter recovery, wipe cache partition and do wipe/factory reset, then reboot into a now working phone, set up for root with USB and so forth, root and install CWM, copy the custom ROM to my SD-card (gonna go for ParanoidAndroid) as well as Google services if I want those, and then install them via CWM/Mobile Odin?

GB LC1 is wipe. But if you want PA (which is an excellent choice) just flash a CM10 kernel in your recovery (if your recovery is safe, like GB for example). Then follow Utacka's instructions for the installation.
But if I want CWM I should do root and install CWM there? And then flash the custom ROM from CWM?

The CM10 kernel comes with its own recovery where you can flash from. If you have root issues, just flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip. In any case don't flash from stock ICS with CMW.zip: if you are on ICS and not rooted flash the relevant Philz kernel (which is safe and will give you root and CWM) then the CM10 kernel.
Edit: what ROM do you have now?
I use the 4.1.2 XXLSA ROM
Btw, anyone knows where I can download the Google Services Framework so I can install it alongside Paranoid Android? I have been led to believe it's not included as per default
Thx for all the replies!!
If you have downloaded the xxlsa rom then it's inside the rom zip file. Path system/app/GoogleServicesFramework
