Hi.
How can I root my galaxy note with xxlb1 kernel?
I know that I need to downgrade my firmware to root, but there is a lot of tutorials on Developer section and I don't know which tutorial I need to use.
Thank you.

Unfortunately it did not work.
Odin do not downgrade my firmware. I downloaded xxlb1 (Poland) image and follow steps on post #2 to upload to my phone. After upload, phone reboots, extract and install files for about 5 to 10 seconds and reboot again.
Android boots normally and my settings stay like untouched. I tried second link but it cannot write zimage file because file system is read only.
If I go on Settings / About Phone and try to find a update, there is no update avaliable.
On your second link Chainfire suggest to use KJ1 (factoryfs). Is it secure or there is another way to get root?
Thank you!
It's done.
I downloaded KJ4 version (Kernel 2.3.5).
N7000XXKJ4 ------ 2.3.5 2011 october-------- N7000XEOKJ1 -----------------------Poland -------------------------Download
Then I go do second matius44 link and downloaded CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEN_KJ4-v5.0-CWM5.zip on post #4 and follow instructions on post #2.
Now it's rooted. I'll try to upgrade to 2.3.6 (xxlb1) again but with root using CWM from Chainfire.
If I succeed I'll post the step by step.
I'll have to buy a sdcard for testing.
Thank you.

I am very new to this forum. Recentely I have purchased GNote - Indian version. This is my first Android device.
Installed firmware / stocke ROM details as below:
Baseband Version: N7000DDKL1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKL3-CL793489 [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXL3
I think above is the latest / updated firmware / stock ROM available for Indian GNote.
I want to update it to the latest / stable firmware / stock ROM version (I don't want rooting). Can someone please guide me by providing step by step details?
Thanks in advance

If you want custom rom then you need root, otherwise you hav to use pc odin, which will raise flash counter n you will lose warranty, n that needs JIG hardware to reset.
You have option to flash any stock ROM, above said link is best choice to download stock ROM. You will find installation guide on same thread, post #2 n 3.
Btw i m in india n using latest German ROM la4 n is much stable.

Hi Dr. Ketan. Thanks for your reply. I don't want to lose warranty and I don't want to rooting the device. I want to install latest stable samsung official stock ROM which may be available in another country. In that scenario what will be the recommended steps?

Install Latest version of Kies.
download the Stock ROM from the above link (i prefer LA4)
extract it and you ll find one .md5 file
download Odin from same link
attach downloaded .md5 file to PDA tab
in Odin make sure Re-Partition is UN-ticked and do not select any pit file. rest of them let it be.
now turn off your device
restart in download mode by pressing Volume down + home + Power after that just press volume up to confirm download mode
connect Device to PC via data cable (now you can see yellow block in Odin)
now press Start and wait for complete boot.
Thats it....
(Flashing this ROM will not erase any DATA)

In that case also, you can have XXLA4 german ROM, which counts as most stable stock ROM.
Ranjan.alva have gave you a link, just above this post, follow it, you can get installation guide, How to flash ROM with odin on same thread post#2
EDIT : Ranjan have already edited his post n made easy for you. just follow it. still you have any doubt, you will get image guide on same thread post # 2
Thanks a lot both of you. Now I have one question if I upgrade to XXLA4 German ROM weather I will get future update (like ICS) via OTA? Or every time I need to install updated firmware via KIES or Odin?
And after upgrading to XXLA4 german ROM if I want to go back to the earlier stock ROM (XXL3) which already installed how can I do that?

M posting new guide in evening about how to update rom, stay tuned to my development section thread ' how to root ....'
If you install LA4, you wont get update over OTA or even with Kies, you have to update it with odin.
The way which you will update la4, same way with odin you can revert back to xxkl3

First of all I apologise for starting a new thread, but the the original thread [02Feb12]How to Root/Unroot Samsung Galaxy Note + CWM (simple step at end of post), (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360), this question is related to will not let me post a reply because I donot have more than 10 posts yet.
Dr. Ketan,
I have a GT-N7000, baseband version-N7000UBKK1, KERNAL VERSION-2.6.35.7-N7000UBKK2-CL705203 [email protected] #2, BUILD NUMBER-GINGERBREAD.UBKK2. I have Root+CWM and need to revert back to stockROM/unroot for warranty. On your post mentioned above it says "If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)"
How or where do I find this "original stock kernel (zImage file)"
Thanks.

My version is not available at this website you suggested. Is there a way to get it from my phone itself?
Moved To Q&A
Please post all questions in the Q&A section
Maybe a PM would of been the best way to go
May be it is old ROM, have you try to connect to Kies?
get latest kies, n connect your device to kies, n check any update available for you. If available, note it n search for that ROM.
Hi all,
Seems like ICS will be delayed and instead of waiting for it, I've decided to install custom ROM. But before doing so, I would like a few comments from XDA SIFUs...
1.Am currently on:
Baseband ver: N7000DXKL2
Kernel ver: 2.6.35.7-N7000DXLA1
Does that means I'm now on LA1 ROM?
2.If so, i understood that it's not directly rootable, thus needed to be downgraded. Referring to Dr Ketan's information, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, i would like to downgrade to:
N7000DXKL3 ------ -------2011 December-------- N7000OLBKL2
Will that be...KL3 or KL2?
3.Once downgraded using Odin, will it increase the flash counter?
4.After downgraded, can I just use Zergrush exploit method to root my phone?
5.Which custom ROM is recommended?
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
SiLvErBoLd17

1.You hav not mentioned build version, basically that is your ROM
2.You have showned is KL3, but i recommend this to downgrade
N7000XXKL3 ------ 2.3.6 2011 December-------- N7000ODDKL1 --------------------India
3. this stock ROM, which won't raise counter
4.yes, n if you downgrade to above said ROM (which i hav recommend), select ' I have kernel KL1' N follow procedure from thread 'How to Root..."
5.Sorry here, I never tried any custom ROM

Hi ketan,
I received my SGN yesterday and right away the phone updated itself to LB2 (India).
I felt the need to root immediately to shift my apps from my older custom romed galaxy ace to SGN.
I read up your guide and rooted through odin (PC) which rooted my kernel down to the KJ1 version. After the customary reboot everything seemed ok - it showed superuser+CWM in app list. Then the pixellated screen began appearing after the screen off. I could only come out of it by removing battery.
On searching these forums i found some posts on pixellated screen caused by certain custom kernels in SGN. I thought that may be the kernel was being incompatiable with my SGN hardware . Then i downloaded the latest stock rom (LC1 - open europe) and tried flashing the new rom using CWM - but surprisingly the CWM prompted for the CSC file only in the firmware folder.It didnt ask for code and modem files. Still i went ahead with the installation and the CWM installed the new rom with apparently no problems - still the kernel is showing KJ1 after this and again the pixxelation problem is still there.
Iam no expert but i think the kernel KJ1 is the problem
(my baseband version is XXLB2)
Present status
Android version 2.3.6
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7 - ....KJ1 -CL627135
Build number GB.XXLC1
Can i retain my root and upgrade my kernel and get rid of this pixxelation problem ?
Is there an good way to do this ?

If you need a full stock rom you must flash through odin.Flashing through CWM will keep the kernel the same so you have the problem continuing.Flash the rom using PC odin and the problem will be solved

Root Stock ICS ROM
This method works on the released ICS rom from Germany and I would expect it to work for the rest of the ICS roms due for release..
This method does not increase the binary counter or causes a yellow exclamation mark
Rooting
Download the Files first and put in your SDCARD [CWM zip][ SU-Busybox-Installer.zip][ SU-Uninstaller-signed.zip]
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
(Touch the screen as if you are using the phone to choose the options)
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
[*]Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD
[*]Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
[*]Reboot
[*]You are done and now your device is Rooted

Not clear what you want to do.
Do you want to root an unrooted LC1 GB?

Yes...i want to root the lc1 by this procedure...its posible or not....
You should follow the instructions in the other pinned thread from Dr. Ketan.
This one here is for ICS.
If you are on a LC1: Download Mobile Odin Pro and the LC1-kernel from Chainfire's thread and install the extracted zImage with it.
I do this all the time before installing a new ICS ROM.
But again: read the above thread and the instructions carefully.
Thanks..but my note is revive from hardbrick..it now loss 3gigabyte...
My worried is downgrading via odin pc...
Its possible to encounter again to hang on to factoryfs?
1. you bricked your device already - so I think it's ok to assume you didn't really read the warning threads how to flash in a save way.
2. you want to do it again - because it's obvious you didn't read or understand what is written there
3. I really like to help, but here I'm getting afraid to give hints. Please read the pinned threads in the development forum and follow the instructions there.
"downgrading": Odin doesn't know wether you want down- or upgrading. More interesting: downgrading from LC1 to what version?

You're quite special, aren't you? Expecting an answer after that statement.
LC1: I use stock LC1 (with PC Odin) and after that I install CF Kernel with Mobile Odin Pro for rooting and permanent CWM. Then I install Abyss Kernel from CWM as base for new ICS Roms.

That is because 2.3.6 is not direct rootable. You need to follow Dr. Ketan's guide to achieve root...

This what you need to follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756030&postcount=2
You have to flash a pre rooted firmware in ODIN PC and the from there you can flash your current firmware with a CF-Kernel with Mobile Odin your kernel is listed in there. Just read carefully.

If your plan is to update to JB you can do that straight foward and then root by flashing philz kernel. That is way easy.
Thanks guys for everything!
