I have the GT-N7000 Vodafone GR with XXLA6 Kernel.
I 've tried all methods I could find in XDA and/or on the Internet (zergRush, reverting in older stock ROM, reverting rooting and updating to latest ROM, ODIN, CRW etc)
All attempts that succeeded have resulted to one unstable Note; instability meaning that it reboots, repeatedly and uncontrollably, at any time it wishes, especially after a normal restart (power off or simple reboot). Or, in some cases, losing the 3G data connection and having to reboot to regain it.
I need root access for ad blocking and quick rebooting. I'm not really into overclocking or tweaking the device but I'd do it if possible without losing stability.
Any ideas how this can be achieved?
Thanks in Advance

I think, the only option to only get root is to downgrade your note to a rootable rom and then root it with zergRush.
Please let me know if you need further help.
Alternative and easier way for you to root your Note would be to flash using PC Odin one of the pre-rooted stock Roms.
After that download the corresponding CF-Root kernel (i.e. if you flashed LC1 Rom, download LC1 CF-Root kernel) and flash it through Mobile Odin to inject CWMR.
That's all.

Don't know about this thread Bookmarked it.
You can use this method 'cause it's the easier one.
I've tried ODIN with older Stock Unfortunately as soon as I upgrade to latest ROM it becomes unstable
The thing with the pre-rooted is that none is Greek Vodafone and I need the latest Vodafone GR
Thanks for the replies
Anyone else?

The usual remedy for system instability is just to do a factory reset once.
Everything usually behaves nicely after that.
Won't it be unrooted by the factory reset as I'll be "upgraded" to the latest stock ROM?

No, never. Reset just erases your personal apps and data, and doesn't touch the system.
OK! Thanks a zillion Starting the process....
Looks all right I'll monitor and update in case of problems. FYI for better or for worse I wiped/FSed BEFORE and AFTER downgrading the ROM and rooting
Just now More than 36 hours of operating smoothly and greatly, it started again rebooting at will with no GSM signal etc.
Any ideas?

just out of interest, why dont the pre-rooted roms have the CWM kernel as default?

Why do you need 'Greek Vodafone', as you put it.
There is nothing specific about the Vodafone rom except perhaps some bloatware.
Don't all of these ROMs support the Greek language? Under language/keyboard, my ROM displays Greek, I believe it is the euro version

I need the Greek Vodafone Menu "app" that comes with it
OK 72+ hours after a new factory reset NO problems appear. I stronly believe that the issues were brought by too may apps installed. All previous times I had >190 apps Now I kept it <150 and it seems to work fine. (Could this mean that I have a hardware problem on my phone's memory chips?)
Any how the road was:
A) Downgrade to a rootable ROM
B) Root
C) Factory reset
D) Upgrade to the latest ROM with CWM
E) Factory reset
F) Full reinstallation from GP(Just to be on the safe side
That is all> If I have any news/probs I'll update

If you follow that instructions you will be fine as long after flashing dont factory reset or recovery data wipe. The only solution to be safe is to have safe ics kernel like speedmod k3-3 or franco r3,r4,r5& r6.

Yes you will no longer get an update. You can always use the pc odin to update dont worry.
If you follow those instruction you will loose your root but you can always get rooted if you flash speedmod k3-3.
Sorry, if you follow those instruction you will remain unrooted.

If you flash ics your in ics. If flash gb your in gb. There is no dual boot.
Sorry going to bed. Just follow the instruction you'll be fine. If your not sure, just remain in gb, you will get better batery life compare to ics.
ok thanks...battery life is important...oh well i just thought maybe i could run the ics rom but have a safe firmware...
one more question , kies asks me to update my firmware, will updating to the latest firmware which i assume is lc1 , will updating delete all my game data files?
All stock ics is no wipe, it will not delete your data.
If an update im sure it is ice cream sandwich android, if its not then i dont know its a wipe or no wipe but if its a wipe then it will delete all your data better back it up if i were you.

hi.
i have an Australian N7000B Note, and it is currently rooted on the latest available android in the country for the phone (2.3.6)
i have superuser and CWM installed.
i can boot into CWM and navigate with no worries, but whenever i try to install any custom rom, regardless what rom it is, i get the same error.
i really want to get off this crappy rom that Telstra provides with the phone, so any help is greatly appreciated.
many thanks
pic attatched of error.
Use ODIN to flash a stock ICS or GB ROM and then re-root and add cwm and try again
the issue you face is because your version is the GT-N7000B and the build.prop is for the GT-N7000 so its failing because it believes the ROM is for a different device.
if the product codes do not match up in the build.prop it will fail - this applies to all devices and all ROMs.
you could also open the .zip and find the build.prop and change all of them, But its a pain in the ass !

Because these are for the N7000 if i flash a stock ICS rom on my N7000B what will happen?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8
Put your details in there and it will find you a stock ROM. Ive seen threads where N7000B users have flashed N7000 ROMs without any issues.
EDIT: You CAN use any GT-N7000 firmware !
Awesome! I am downloading the Gingerbread Australian Rom as we speak for the N7000. if i flash it with odin, root it, and then install CWM would it work with installing custom roms such as paranoid android etc?
Yes because the Stock firmware will remove the 'B' and you will have no more install errors
Be sure to follow the instructions to the letter !! and make a nandroid before commencing.

Well, i have a nandroid backup of the current firmware, i made it just after i rooted it.
so, i will flash it with Odin on PC correct? does it require i wipe everything off the phone?
sorry for the questions i am a noob lol
you can wipe before or after it makes no difference so long as your on GB.
Dont ever wipe on ICS unless your on a safe kernel.
But do do a wipe as it will start you off on a fresh clean install

Hi, Can u please help me. I'm having the same problem as u. Got the getprop error when flashing any rom through
How were u able to flash roms through cwm & what file did u use to turn your 7000B into a 7000?
Hi guys
Wonder if you can help me.
So have a custom kernel running, but stock ICS.
If I were to get an OTA / Kies update, what would happen to the custom kernel? After the update, would I get stock kernel?
Also, I presume I would also lose root, and would have to re-root (or could I just use OTA Rootkeeper).
Thanks!
your update will fail upon install cause you aren't running all same components of same version rom. Try it at own risk. Even having different modem makes update fail. At least for me
Change kernel back to rom version and update will succeed. Then put custom back.
Ota and you dont have to loose root. Kies then you must be unrooted.

well... just sharing....
i was on 4.0.3 ICS stock with speedmod v11... then i got the update for 4.0.4 via kies and i was able to install the update successfully. the kernel when back to the stock one and all the stock apps came back... and i lost root as well.
cool, It always failed with me. I concluded it wasn't possible. Probably I was wrong.
Sent with L0VE&CΔRE
Hmm, OK, so there is no clarity then!
I guess I could download the firmware from Sammobile and update manually via CWM or Odin in that case?
If I were to do that though, would that be a no wipe?
Try to follow this link (from doc Ketan's thread) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
You can download the firmware on your specific region, use PC Odin (you wont get the triangle mark in anyway)
There are also guides on that thread that might help you out.. Just read and see if it might interest you or not.
P.S. Regarding your initial post. You will lose your Custom kernel when your going to flash /upgrade to the Official Samsung ICS firmware. The kernel will be replace with the kernel package on that ROM. And YES you will lose root upon upgrading it but nothing can't be fix if your going to flash back the custom kernel again (to gain root) and use Triangle Away to reset your binary counter and clear out the yellow triangle on the bootup screen

It gives instructions on how to install JB on an ICS note.
Installation
1.a Pre installation : (For clean installation, optional)
- Make backup with Titanium Backup or other similiar app.
- First wipe cache and data if you are on GB ROM
- If you are on ICS/Custom ROM, make sure you have safe kernel, otherwise first flash it (here is philz safe kernel)and then only wipe cache and data.
1.b Final Installation
- Download ROM, and extract it to .tar file
- Download Odin, open it
- select PDA tab and point to ROM file. Leave Re-partition, pit, CSC, Phone tab unticked (see Image below)
- Switch off device, Put in download mode (Vol down + Home + Power)
- completely close kies, Anti virus if running
- Connect device to PC
- ID com port shud turn yellow (not shown in image)
Now hit Start

I'm from the UK and the only UK based ROM of JB is a Vodafone rom, my note was originally on 3, but it accepted an O2 sim card. I want to be sure that there would not be a problem using the Vodafone rom.
Secondly, how do I install a safe kernel on my note as this is an appropriate kernel to use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
I'm a little confused as some threads are in/out of date and I'm unsure which instructions to follow.
All help is appreciated,
Matt
It's up to you, I didn't do any of the wipe this, format that.
I was on a stock ICS rom, with a safe kernel, rooted.
I just downloaded the JB rom for my device, used PC-Odin, flashed the JB rom.
After flashing, I flashed philz kernel for this version of JB.
Some swear by the wipe, delete stuff. I have noticed NO ill problems with the device.
I guess if you do a lot of wiping, flashing it's best to wipe, delete before flashing, if you want to
make sure 100% of the old stuff isn't left behind. I'm pretty conservative with my device.
I only use stock roms, and other than rooting, I don't install the latest tweaks to squeeze every little
bit of performance.
My guess, I'm not familiar with the Euro roms/sim cards, but I'm guessing you will have to unlock it before
the rom would take the sim card (perhaps someone else can chime in on that).
My device was an unlocked Germany device (DBT) that I bought from Amazon, shipped to the States.

Currently, my device is using the stock ICS rom, with the stock kernel. It was rooted using the Exynos Abuse app and patched the CPU exploit, but I un-rooted it. After un-rooting, my device has began to randomly reboot, So I think I need to install a safe kernel and a stock JB rom. I hate Samsungs touchwiz rubbish.
Also do a search for dr.ketan, he has a pretty good wiki on how to do an update.

Hi there.
1. It's necessary to note that samsul not do the update again on device S Advance through direct ota for those who still use the stock Gingerbread (GB). While still using the stock GB I once never get a firmware update but only minor updates. BUT you can to do firmware updates manually, by downloading firmaware directly from some of the sites that provide specific firmware for your country, such as: sammobile*com, samsung-updates*com.
Note: I assume if you expect an update to a firmaware. But if you run into problems updates an application from playstore, then I suggest you to do a wipe applications through: settings - application - select playstore and wipe data. Then try reboot. But if it still doesn't work then, try to wipe data / factory reset through default recovery.
2. If you still want to use the stock GB and want to root your device, then you can follow a guide on the thread here. You can try some of the menu that is available there may exist that are suitable for firmware are you using now. Honestly I never tried it.
3. For flashing method is the same on every device model samsung, using Odin application. For the method of rooting the device janice as far as I know have several methods, depending on which firmware you use now. If you are using firmware Stock GB then you can follow the above method. But if you use the stock firmware Jelly Bean (JB) then you can use the method on a thread here.
Hopefully it helps & Good luck.
So the matching firmware i download i can flash it using odin without needing root or anything?and if i dont update and root gingerbread,can install cm11 from gingerbread?
The end result im looking for is cm11 running on my device. Your help is much appreciated
