[Q] flashing back to stock. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey everyone
im flashing my phone back to stock in order to flash a new custom rom (themidteam 1.1) and i must start from GB or ICS based on LP5, now, as the rom im using is not based on LP5, i have to flash back to GB and start all over agine, now, my question is, how to flash the stock rom? do i simply flash it using odin? or there are other proccess?
and is there anyway to make my ICS rom (midnote 2.0) which is based on LP1, based on LP5?
sorry for these noob questions
and thanks

Yes Odin is the way
Flash stock GB (or one of the pre rooted stock GB) using Odin, get CF Root for that ROM and then follow the flashing procedure described in the OP of tue ROM you want to flash

Yes Abyss Kernel is a GB kernel, you can flash it on rooted GB ROMs and even keep it if you like it
After you flash ICS ROM (or restore an ICS backup) Abyss kernel will be over written by the kernel provided in the ROM zip (or backup zip)

Help on getting back to stock GB from other ROM and kernel

Hey guys I want to go back to stock GB rom and stock kernel.
I am currently on Rocket v20 ROM and AbyssNOTE kernel.
The guide in the sticky only tells about how to go back to stock rom but nothing on getting back to stock kernel, I am confused as to if I will flash back to stock GB would it also change my kernel to stock or do I have to do it separately?

Once you flash a stock rom via Odin it already has the stock kernel for that rom in the installation script so just download the stock rom you want and flash via Odin
Make life easyer if you are wanting to root again choose a directly root able gb rom ie kk9

custom ics to custom gb

hello guys ... i need a help to flash this rom ... but situation is.....

now i am with custom ics firmware... so can i flash this gb custom rom ???
if yes how ??? like again using abyss kernal...full wipe and flash any custom gb rom ?
switcing from custom ics to gb will give problem
Which ICS custom ROM are you on?
You can use PC Odin to go back to Gingerbread and then root it and flash a custom GB rom.
Or you can flash Abyss and then reboot recovery and flash a gingerbread custom rom. If you aren't on a stock ICS rom, you can probably just flash gingerbread rom from CWM (like if you are using CM9, franco kernel, or speedmod kernel).

This rom uses an unsafe kernel but for now there is no evidence that a kernel flash can hardbrick the phone. However, I think it's safer flash a secure one (like last speedmod or franco's which should be safe) with odin or mobile odin (extract the .zip until you have te zimage, then flash it), then flash a GB rom.
Otherwise, you can still flash a GB stock rom DIRECTLY ROOTABLE with odin (or MO), then obtain root + cwm and finally flash a gb custom rom with cwm safely.
Gingerbread custom ROMs
Hello Friends, I have asked this question before in another thread but unfortunately there have been no responses.
What are the various Gingerbread custom ROMs available for the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000? CyanogenMod 7 is based on Gingerbread but unfortunately the Galaxy Note is not officially supported.
I am presently on stock Gingerbread and I will be rooting my device in the coming few days. Having played around with stock Gingerbread, I would like to do the same with custom Gingerbread firmwares.
One more query, considering my current Android version is 2.3.6, am I subjected to using a custom ROM which is 2.3.6 or am I free to use any 2.3.x based?
I humbly request you all to respond to these queries of mine. Awaiting your apt replies.

basic Kernel question

I am extracting this specific question from my other thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855867&referrerid=1918103
1. how can I tell exactly what kernel I am running? does any part of the code "-N7000XXKK9-CL725676 [email protected]#2"
translate into one of the kernel names that is being tossed about here? (speedmod, abyss et al)
2. and wanting to follow flashing instructions (from 2.36 to stock current ics) to a "t", can I flash any recommended kernel over the one I currently have (see above, which is also no longer stock since I already flashed that but forgot its moniker, btw rooted phone) or is there a one-way caveat?
voila, dumb questions I suppose but at least I hope they're precise;
thx

Go to phone setting, about phone, and then you will see kernel version, the last three letters is the kernel your device is running. For example if it is ics kernel lq3 then it is compatible with cf root 5.6 lq3, if you want to root your phone with CWM recovery. For ics you can use custom kernel regardless what version of kernel it is, meaning it is compatible to any kernel version if it is a custom kernel, by flasing a custom kernel using the pc odin you will root your phone and get CWM recovery also at the same time safe from so called ICS SUPER BRICK BUG.

thanks.
could you address my question if the kernel KK9 (shich appears on my settings readout) translates to any of the known kernels ie abyss, speedmod or other?
can I keep this very kernel (N7000XXKK9-CL725676 [email protected]#2) and flash a custom ICS via CVM recovery?

KK9 is a gb rom and has a stock gb kernel. Abyss is a gb custom kernel. Speedmod is a custom kernel also. To get a custom kernel must flash first in pc odin.
To root and get CWM recovery read this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Yes you can flash custom ics rom over it using the CWM recovery, pls read the op in the custom rom for the procedure before flashing any custom rom. By flashing a custom ics rom you will get ics kernel, you will not retain the kk9 which is a gb kernel.

cwm / philz = root ?

do i understand that right, that i can root my stock gingerbread by flashing this cwm/philz kernel, without the need to wipe any data?
i just want to flash ultimate rom. it says i need cwm. i don't fully understand why cwm comes together with a kernel and why that kernel gives root on any rom. how to root topic doesn't mention the flashing of just a kernel to get root. i guess i got something wrong here?
baseband XXLA4 - GB 2.3.6
You cannot flash PhilZ kernel on a GB Rom. It wouldn't boot up if you did.

for the Note the kernel and recovery are integrated, each kernel has a corresponding cwm recovery and root features too
so when you want to root a rom you have to flash a suitable kernel which will give it a cwm recovery to flash custom roms from and it will also give root features too.
Phillz kernels root stock ICS Touchwizz roms when flashed from stock recovery. after a complete reboot you can safely wipe from recovery and flash custom roms.
BTW - this thread belongs to the QA forum.

but would let me use cwm to backup and flash another rom?
You can't flash ANYTHING from stock 3e GB recovery. It won't pass signature verification.
(Unlike ICS). You need to root it first, then use an app such as mobile odin to flash a kernel which has CWM recovery.

Edit: to root GB without going through Dr. Ketans long winded process, just download Chainfires exynos app from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35512626 click on it, and select root device

unfort my kernel is not bugged. can i flash a bugged kernel?
i think i understood that i need to use odin to flash on a GB device? if so, i hope i can directly flash ultimate custom rom using odin?
1. Root Gb
2. Install Mobile Odin
3.Flash Cf-Root or Abyss (both are GB with CWM recovery)
4.Boot into recovery, do wipes and flash new ROM.
NOTE: custom roms can't be flashed with Odin.

Use the exnos abuse app to root.
Hey can i flash philz on 2.3.6 (rooted) format and install a JB rom?
Yes

Need some clarification , hardbrickbug JB?

Hi. I am new into flashing in Android and considering of flashing to another rom , sweet rom to be exact. But there's this hard brick bug that is preventing me to do so. I am currently on Stock Jelly bean and it's too laggy , that's the reason why i wanted to flash to another Rom.
Anyway , is the JB kernel still not safe? As shown in the thread of sweet rom , it states there i would just have to flash my current stock kernel to Philz JB Kernel , to proceed into wipe. Some of the instructions are so foreign to me. Is the risk there? Also , i tried Chainfire's gotbrickbug app and it states i do have. That's why i am afraid into further flashing before i get some more information since i am still a newbie!
Thanks in advance bros!
hi,
asfar as i know you just have to flash a safe kernel
(i prefer K5-5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181599 - touristinparadise.blogspot.de/2013/03/samsung-galaxy-note-jb-download.html) trough odin.
after flashing you have the CWM, from there you can flash every ROM you want
I rooted on ICS 4.0.4 with CWM.zip x) not recommended because the kernel isnt safe (?), but it worked for me

Hmm , SweetROM instructions states to flash Philz JB kernel before wiping and then flashing? Sorry man , i'm quite a bit confused!
you can flash any safe kernel first,, philz or speedmod or hydracore.. as when you install the new rom.. it will replace the kernel with its own
