[Q] Failed Nandroid restore from ICS leak rom

Quick question, before trying out the leaked ICS for the chinese Note, I made a nandroid backup for both my old gingerbread rom and ICS rom. After trying it out, I decided that gingerbread is probably more stable for daily use. Then I try a CWM restore and it failed. It failed at system.
Then I tried out my nandroid backup for the the leaked ICS and it failed at system too.
Anyone have any idea what is causing this problem?
I was able to use odin to reflash the leaked ICS which is good, but I still wonder why this happened? It doesn't inspire confidence when a nandroid backup can fail just like this.

Mine did that.
If you attempt to restore, then after it fails, attempt to restore the same backup, it seems to work.
I think this was listed as expected behaviour in some thread. or at least someone else had the same experience as me.

This is what i posted on my thread when i hit this issue, takes some fiddling but worked for me 3 times
1. Boot into recovery
2. Attempt to wipe cache.
3. Attempt to factory reset
4. Start to recover rom it will hang.
5. pull battery
6. Boot into recovery
7. Select mounts and storage
8. Unmount system.
9. Format system
10. Remount system
11. Unmount cache
12. Format cache
13. Remount
14. Restore rom
U may need to pull battery a few times. But eventually it works and restores fine
The key is the first failed restore this has to be done.
I spent enough time myself doing it hence i got frustrated and stopped done it 3 or 4 times.

Glad it worked for ya, puzzled me for a bit

There is another way to get your restore to work:
1. download AbyssNote 3.9 kernel from this thread. It's a flashable zip.
2. put this zip on your SD Card before you try to restore your previous system or flash a fresh GB rom
3. when you want to restore, power off your phone
4. boot into recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)
5. choose 'install zip from SD Card'
6. navigate to your Abyss kernel zip and flash it
7. go back to the Recovery start menu
8. go to advanced/reboot recovery <--- this will reboot the phone directly to recovery
9. you will discover that you now have Hyperdroid Redpill Recovery - it comes with the Abyss kernel - it's pretty much the same thing as CWMR
10. wipe cache, dalvik, do your factory reset
11. start your restore, or flash a GB rom and it will work.
Hope this helps.

It worked when all else failed,
Thank you

You're welcome.

What worked for me:
1. Installing RocketRomv20(probably going to work with any ROM)
2. Restart your phone, wait until it's ready for use
3. Use CWM if you installed it, then restore via using the App, not by rebooting into Recovery
4. Wait for it to finish
5. Done, your phone (should) be working again on an older backup!

What are you on about here? We're talking about specific restore problems from ICS to GB here, not just any old GB to GB restore.

Oh, my bad. I wanted to post this in a thread where one guy was experience a loop where the Galaxy Note message wouldn't go away, but he would still can get back to CWM. Sorry.

Thanks everyone!!! I think we should try to get this info posted on the op for the leaked rom. Judging by the responses here, a lot of people had this problem.

All else failed... God bless the red pill recovery! Thanks for this.

Yeah red pill recovery worked for me too. Although i needed to resore an aosp ics backup the ics cwm failed to restore the backup created by itself so i had to flash abyyss note 3.9 and restore using red pill recovery.

Hallelujah!! Redpill recovery saved my night too! Got the same system restore error, when restoring my 30min earlier done backup! Clock is 1.14 am in Finland and i have wake-up at 8.00 am to work, so I realy had to get my phone working again, and it did it! Thank you guys!!

Currently I'm on ICS Stunner 4.3. I come to this ROM through rooting method using dr. Ketan (by zergRush).
Now my question is:
1. Will the above method (Redpill) of going back to GB will work for me?
2. How to flash the GB ROM in the Redpill Recovery?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, the Abyss/Redpill method will work. Just download a custom GB Rom (Cassie's XtraLite, Darky or Chrak's or whatever), place it on your SD Card and flash it after you've done your wipes from Redpill.

[Q] updating SGN n7000 to rocketrom..need help

i am having samsung note n700 and want to update to rocket rom available here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654838
earlier i had official 4.0.3 ics stock rom kernel version- lp9
i had not rooted my phone
and yesterday i updated to 4.0.4 kernel version- LRQ using odin
Also my device too have eMMC bug
type- VYL00M Revision: 0x19
This chip is known to have brick bug..
Now pls guide me to load rocket rom to my mobile including proper rooting prcess..

Your best bet will be to install a PC with Odin (in the PDA level) some secure kernel for ICS (Notecore, Hydracore, Speedmod, CF-root kernel). You will have a yellow triangle. But remove it using TriangeAway.apk from the Market. After recovery from the CWM install Rocket ROM. Zip.

You can first root using method 1 in dr.ketan's guide (look for it in android dev sticky) and then flash some safe kerenl (speedmod or hydracore) using mobile odin, it wont raise binary or yellow triangle and then flash RR using cwm recovery (cwmr will be flashed automatically when you flash custom kernel).
Sent from my GT-N7000

i just checked dr.ketan guide
in the first method with rooting with stock recovery
there are the lines which i cant understand
1.Backup EFS
2.Flash any safe kernel with mobile Odin.
what is efs
how to flash kernel.
do i need to buy paid app of mobile odin from market..?

According to the way I do not have to buy, PC Odin, TriangleAway for free in the Market. EFS is a file which is stored data of your phone (IMEI, etc.). To create a backup of EFS is HC-kTool.apk. Saves the data in a safe place (in the case of losing). Safe kernel mentioned above. Read about them.

Its not n700 forum. lol
For rooting you already checked ketan's thread. I hope you are done with rooting now.
Did you tried the installation method posted in the RR forum ?
Now follow these instructions.
b2) coming from other rooted Samsung ICS-Custom-ROM or rooted ICS Stock ROM (FullWipe):
- download Abyss Kernel 4.2 from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c65mndvpk6ocbaa
- put zip-file on your USB-storage
- boot in Recovery
- Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2!!!
- boot back in Recovery (find it under 'advanced')
- now FullWipe!!!
- Flash ROM
- reboot system
-...you are done
If you are on safe kernel i.e. Notecore, speedmod then there is no need to flash Abyss as both are safe kernels which has the emmc bug disabled.

my fone was not rooted nor i did flashing..
i downloaded this rom N7000XXLRQ_N7000DBTLRQ_DBT.zip (i think its germany one)
and by using pc odin, going to download mode on mobile and flashed this pda file on my cell phone.
now which step 1, 2, or 3 of dr.ketan i should follow to root my cell phone

- download Abyss Kernel 4.2 from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c65mndvpk6ocbaa

1.Rooting with stock recovery - Thanx to Entropy who direct this way,as well always looking for safety measures for us, Chainfire for creating great tool SuperSu (and many more), Phil3759 as files,scripts derived from his Thread and Linus Yang for Busybox.
- Download Root_SuperSu 0.95
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card.
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install zip from ext SD card
-select 'root_SuperSU-*.zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
-You can see superSU on appl drawer. open it and update.
-Now This will give you only SuperSU not busybox, though application which doesn't depends on system busybox will still works.e.g.Titanium Backup.
-To get full Root+busybox, Download Root_busybox *.zip
-Copy Root_busybox* only to Ext SD card
-Reboot into recovery, Select Install zip from Ext SD card. select Root_busybox* .zip and Flash.

New User, have some questions

Hi guys, just got a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 dirty cheap from Hong Kong, and using it now in the states. I am a huge fan of rooting/flashing and stuff, so I decided to give myself a little test and see how long I can keep this phone stock. I lasted two days...haha.
So, I set out to see how to root this thing. After reading thread after thread, I learned about the wipe brick bug on stock Samsung kernels.
Now here's my question:
I want to use method 1A (to be safe) using this guide here, and it led me to this thread. Now here's where I get confused. Which kernel am I supposed to download and flash?
My Stock ROM system info (remember, this is from Hong Kong)
Model Number:
GT-N7000
Android Version:
4.0.3
Baseband Version:
N7000XXLR1
Kernel Version:
3.0.15-N7000ZSLPF-CL558440
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT Tue May 15 15:39:39 KST 2012
Build Number:
IML74K.ZSLPF
Any for of enlightenment is greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

The easiest is flash a safe custom kernel that will be safe to wipe, provides root access, and has Clockworkmod Recovery. Below is how I setup my phone to flash Paranoidandroid. I started with a stock N7000XXLRT rom. I did install and run Triangle Away to later to remove the yellow triangle counter warning on boot. Largely cosmetic. Please check wikis of this speedmod kernel supports ICS 4.0.3.
If all you want is root and a safe kernel then you end with step 3 and apply Triangle Away.
1. Begin with a stock ICS rom on your Note.
2. Use Odin on the PC,select PDA, and flash speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar with usb cable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673072
3. After flashing speedmod kernel you will have root access, and a custom Clockworkmod Recovery in which to flash custom roms.
4. Get Paranoidandroid zip and Gapps zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713 . Copy the Paranoidandroid and Gapps zip files on your phone's internal sd card.
5. Backup efs folder just to be sure. Use kTool from Google Play or manually copy the EFS folder with Explorer+ also from Google Play. Copy the files to your pc.
6. Press power button, select reboot, reboot into recovery and go to backup and restore section and create a backup. Select go back and reboot.
6. Reboot into recovery (Clockworkmod Recovery) wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache (advanced).
7. From recovery, select install from zip from sd card. Select choose zip from internal sdcard. Select the Paranoid rom zip and flash. Do the same to flash Gapps zip. Go back and reboot.
*When flashing nightlies, no need to wipe cache, data, and dalvik. But install Gapps zip again in Recovery. You will need to set up your Google account again.

Thanks. So it doesn't matter that I am on Stock Samsung ICS ROM from Hong Kong?
And also, what version of Odin do I use, or does it not matter?

Yes. HK rom pretty much is the same kernel with local enhancements. The XXLR1 seems to be German or European. It should be ok. Again please verify if the speedmod kernel works with ICS 4.0.3. The site says ICS so I think it does.
I used Odin3-v1.85.zip. Make sure you have an excellent usb cable. Test the rig by copying large files between your pc and the Note internal sdcard.

[4.4.x – CM11] Baseband problem : read this for my solution

Hi, few days ago I tried to flash CM11 and was disappointed with the no signal / no IMEI / no SIM problem...
I found a solution that worked perfectly for me :
1) Download and install latest recommended CWM recovery 6.0.4.5, easy to find on XDA
2) Download the latest 4.1 (not 4.3 or you will be stuck with KNOX security) firmware (on Sammobile for example).
3) Download latest CM11 nightly (and/or Paranoid GAPPS if you want them...) and copy the archive files on your SD Card then remove the SD Card from your phone.
4) Download latest modem for GT-I9305 (XXUEMK1).
5) Reboot in Download mode and flash CMW Recovery using Odin, Heimdall (tutorials on XDA...).
6) Reboot into CWM Recovery.
7) Wipe EVERY partition including those in "mounts and storage" section.
8) Reboot in Download mode.
9) Extract the downloaded Samsung package and flash the .tar.md5 file using Odin, Heimdall.
10) Reboot again in Download mode.
11) Flash the latest downloaded modem with Odin or Heimdall.
12) Power off your phone and then put back your SD Card with archive files on it.
13) Boot into CWM Recovery and do a Wipe Data/Factory reset and wipe /system partition in "mounts and storage" section then flash your archive files.
14) Reboot normally.
15) Enjoy.
All of these steps may not be necessary, you may just have to flash the latest ClockworkMod Recovery, wipe everything and try again to flash your CM11 ROM. But this is to be sure that the problem does not comes from somewhere else by restoring the phone at its factory state.
I know this is very long, but I think you could have broken some partitions with previous flashes, this guide helps you to repair bad things and you should flash all 4.4.x stuff using the latest ClockworkMod Recovery version.
I hope this will work for you guys, send feedbacks !
