[Q] Criskelo ICS ROM v2 install

hi there,
first off, im sorry for being a total noob.
i was trying to look for a full guide to install Criskelo ICS ROM v2.
i found an online guide from the site rootgalaxynote dot com
but its for the older version.
i was wondering if i can do this step but install using the V2 or follow the steps, install the older version then use clockworksmod to load v2?
once again, please accept my apologies as i have never touched an android in my life.. im so new, my note is still in the mail and i havent even received it yet.

Go the the development section find criskelo v2 and follow the instructions in the first post? Why go to another site when the instructions are right here

hi there,
i was there, the thing is that i want to make sure i understand the instructions the instructions
From GB:
Install ics repack by chainfire via mobile odin-reboot-reboot into revovery-full wipe-install criskelo ics.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so before i run the steps above, i should install clockworkmods and titanium backup to backup my current rom and apps rite?
then i download the ics repack by chainfire and the criskelo v2 mod
then install mobile odin and install the mod?

Very simple as ABC.
First you use PC odin and flash a single file called chain fire repack.tar
This ROM is already rooted.
Boot up and install triangleaway1.25.apk
Copy your ROM to SDcard
Reboot to recovery using the CWM app in Your note
Wipe data.factory reset wipe the other one below the list. I forgotten the name
Wipe devalik cache from advance settings
Install the zip file called Criskelo or any other ROM from Sdcard.
Once you are done reboot and enjoy your new rom.

No, you can't overclock any of the ICS kernels for the time being.

i see.. ok.. no prob.. dont really need that much juice anyway.. for now that is...
do you guys recomend i root my GB in stock condition then backup with CWM first? just so i can revert much later on in case bad stuff happens?

always make a backup incase of anything going wrong

This does however increase the binary counter thus voiding warranty. By taking some extra steps you'll be able to upgrade to any ICS rom without increasing the binary counter.
What I did was I flashed one of the pre-rooted roms found in a thread in the dev section. After that I flashed the CF Root kernel for the rom I installed (I used the pre-rooted LA6 rom so I used the CF kernel for LA6).
Now you have full root and CWMR so you can flash any rom you like. For ICS roms, install Mobile Odin, flash the ICS LP1 repack, reboot to recovery, do a full wipe and install any ICS rom you want to try.
Pre-rooted stock roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
For CF-Kernel check step two "2. I Want ROOT + CWM" of this thread and download the appropriate files for the pre-rooted kernel you flashed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

This is what triangle away is for.
Resetting the counter to none!

To my knowledge Triangle Away only does exactly what is says, it will remove the yellow triangle after you've flashed a custom kernel through pc Odin and thus having triggered the binary counter. To my knowledge Triangle Away is not able to reset the counter though I could be wrong as I've never used it myself. There is however a thread explaining how to remove both the triangle and reset the counter using a usb JIG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888

Counter is reset
using triangle away does reset the counter as well as removing the triangle also says your rom is samsung original even if it is not!.
you must use the correct ics version to do this one that does work is I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK worked just fine on my note. It does not work on all current versions of ICS. enjoy

Thanks a lot for the info! I really didn't know and I thought I read somewhere that it didn't reset the counter.

does the triangle away work for GB phones? just wondering

No

Other way you could try
Hi, maybe you already flashed, but this is how I did it. No problems at all.
Starting from stock GB. (Or you can flash stock through ODIN)
Used CF-Root to get Root and CWR on the phone.
Downloaded and flashed Abyss Kernel 4.2
rebooted recovery
flashed ICS ROM from sdcard.
Worked perfectly well for me.
Hope this helps.

As soon as you flash the rom, abyss kernel will be overwitten (you get CWM).
Now a piece of advice, there are great risk on flashing any rom based on leak repack, there is an issue with the kernel and the eMMC, which basically can fry your phone (if you are unlucky).
I personally decided to flash back to stock GB.... just in case. I'm not willing to gamble with my note, but that is me.

How to downgrade from official ICS to GB safely

Hello guys
Since warnings about N7000XXLPY ICS kernel risks of hardbrick galaxy note i suppose that's a lot of people like me who installed last ICS 4.0.3 want to go back to GB but are affraid to do it to avoid geting theire Note dead.
I asked the question but no answer i just found this video explaining how to do it ,The problem is that it is a downgrade from an UNOFICIAL ICS rom to GB.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3DDEh8vyc&feature=plcp
STEPS : 1- go to recovery mode ( even it's not recommended to do anything with cwm with lpy kernel )
2- flash abyss kernel 4.2 final (browse zip )
3- reboot recovery
4- Wipe all- reset factory
5- always in cwm, browse GB rom and flash it
6- Reboot system
My question is : can we use the same way to go back to gb from official stock ics 4.0.3 SAFELY ? We have not many times to do it, may be we have one chance to do it right or we get the galaxy note bricked so plz any help will be appreciated .
Thanks

just for safe purposes, this is how i done it from any ics roms
1. use mobile oding pro and flash any GB firmware (tar file) by injecting the everroot and mobile oding
2. since by doing the above procedure, you will not be having any CWM recovery, hence i used stock recovery to clean the system (wipe data, or factory reset and cache partition)
3. reboot system
4. flash abyss kernel red pill using mobile oding or CWM and then enter int o recovery
5. clean wipe data, cache and dalvik
6. flash any GB custom ROM

Which will potentially brick his device.
Now who is stupid?
In general you come across as cocky and arrogant and contribute little.
Whist on LPY no nandroid should be restored. Firstly you should flash a GB kernel and enter recovery.
Alternatively flash stock GB with ever root via mobile odin pro ensuring you wipe all.
This is the stock type alternative to the very good abyss explanations offered above.

I was twice been on the offical ICS .. and safely returned to GB .... and will remain here until settle matters with ICS ...
I used the method of through the Odin PC ... I do not use backup ... because I use this phone for entertainment ... so my data is not so important ...

me also did flashed back to gb custom rom from Lpy+cf root.
I would not say that my method is safe and secure. But i will share the way how to do that.
1. Boot into download mode. ( without wipe anything.
2. Apen pc odin and connect your devices with pc.
3. After devices connected with pc, please select gb pre-rooted rom tar.file at pda button.
4 Press start and flash. after the rom finished install and let the rom fully booted and settle down for a while.
5. Install mobile odin and flash any gb rooted kernel with cwm such as franco....speedmod.....
6. After install rooted kernel, your gb rom will be fully rooted. and you can go cwm to do any wipe and install custom rom.
( This is the way how im went back to gb from Lpy. I would not say that is the safer way. But me successfully to did it, and wanna sharing here)

I did the exact same way no problems at all. But now I am back on fully rooted kingdroid ics. Used mobile odin to flash stock ics (wipe cache and Dalvik cache) and after that I flashed cfroot kernel and updated.supersu binaries. With cwm I flashed kingdroid ics. No problems at all!!

First i'd like to apologise for going off topic. But when i saw Wildestpixels signature i got too excited. Your Nexus S ROM: PixelRom, The best ROM I've ever used. If You're going to be working on the N7000 we are all very, very lucky! You've made me so glad i got a Note. That is of course, if you are working on the note.
It's so nice to see a Dev i recognize. You've made my day.

First of all..
Get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Stick with the instructions.
After doing this you will have root+cwm installed on your lovely note.
Now download Abyss 4.2 from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424
Now download custom ics rom from android development section and put it in your phone sd card or external card.
Reboot into recovery.
Flash abyss 4.2
Go to advanced and reboot recovery.
Now you have abyss redpill recovery or touch cwm.
Do all 3 wipes. Cache, Dalvik and data.

Criskelo ICS v9 trouble
Hi,
I installed criskelo v9 on my phone just now..and titanium backup doesnt work..it says i do not have root permissions
now all my apps are on it and the phone is pretty pointless without it..
I tried installing abyssnote and franco kernel just to see if it works but the update gets stuck at "installing packages" and then reboots to system to the earlier settings..
the cwm i have right now is also not the touch version and my kernel is cf-root so i do not know if i should be reflashing criskelo directly on this to check for any difference..
PLease tell me what i need to do..I am lost and could not find anything after an hour of googling

I followed the instructions to the T.. Root permissions didnt happen..Here's what i did..
1. Downloaded CWM and busybox and placed them where he said
2. Booted into recovery and installed CWM
After this the UI didnt change to the touch UI as he indicated but was still the button UI
3. ANyway went ahead and installed busybox from the zip
Here the progress was stuck at "unmounting system" till the phone reboot itself to the system..And i still dont have root permissions as per titanium..
Where did i go wrong?

Hi, what i really want is root permission so i can use criskelo as my ROM..I was using gb (checkrom v6 with abyss) till now and thought of upgrading to ICS...if i get root permissions i can restore my apps using titanium and my problem wil be solved..titanium is currently saying i dont have root permissions and not restoring my apps...
Of course i will want to change kernels too to mix and match my requirements with battery life later on...

If your desire is to just get rooted, then download the Abysskernel touch zip file* : http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.zip
Saved it in your external SD card and install it using Recovery Mode
After that, your phone should restart and check after if you have SU(Superuser) and CWM installed. If you do have it.. Rest assured your phone is already rooted.

Thats where the problem is..i have tried installing that file multiple times..it gets stuck at "installing update" and reboots into the system..
Within the phone i already have CWM (as the app) in my phone but it says it cannot work coz i need cf-root v5 or newer for it to work...can i use the LRG file as given in this forum to change the kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
file name : CF-Root-SGN_XX_DBT_LRG-v5.6-CWM5 (i had chosen the LRG modem while installing criskelo v9)
Are there different kernels for ICS and GB and maybe im trying the wrong file?
Also right now all i want is the root..but i also wanna be able to rollback to gb later and try other roms as per my convenience if i dont like criskelo..so any guidance keeping that in mind for the future will b much appreciated
Thanks..

What is your current ROM now? stock DXLRG? if it is, yes you can flash that kernel on your link (using mobile odin pro). Try to check back after thru CWM if it still gives you the same message or not.
Yes, there are different kernels solely for ICS only and also solely for GB alone. Don't make a mistake in mixing a GB kernel to your ICS Rom or else your phone gets fried.

I am right now on Criskelo ICS v9..
The exact problem on my phone (id mentioned earlier too) is that its like its semi-rooted..things like cpuspy etc work..but titanium backup and moble odin dont..my main motive is to have titanium working so i can use the phone normally..
Now i see that criskelo has just launched v10.1 of the same ROM which has solved the semiroot+wifi issue..download is in progress and It wud be great to know how i can move on to that now..
Abyssnote kernel is not installing (stuck at "installing update" ) and as per my knowledge the phone isnt rooted (coz titanium backup and mobile odin dont work)..
Can i rollback to prerooted gb (i have this file: Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000DDLB2 - nonwipe gb ROM) via PC odin to initiate the whole process again under present circumstances?
Whole process here meaning *prerooted gb+abyssnote kernel+criskelo v10.1 install*..
PS - i did all wipes while installing the present ROM (if it matters)..

Yes, you have what we call it here as a semi rooted phone. Not getting all the permissions to access system files inside. It's a good thing though that Criskelo has a new version to his ROM and that should be appropriate in installing it.
Can you rollback to pre rooted GB? Yes you can. Just pick the appropriate GB ROM. And oh by the way bud, stay clear on fully wiping your phone... Remember your walking in a thin line here when your flashing Custom ICS ROMs...
Just a heads up, that's all.
Cheers!

thanks a lot for the quick response
just a final query..i dont have abyssnote on my phone now..i have whatever criskelo v9 gave me by default (i chose cf-root during install) and im semi-rooted..
Under these conditions can i go ahead with installing the prerooted gb ROM that i mentioned?
and about the heads-up (sorry im still new to flashing ) do u mean i shudnt be wiping everything when i do the flash to the prerooted gb now? (the ROM i have is a no-wipe ROM as i said earlier)
Thanks again

first, let's tackle your second question. If your on Criskelo ICS now, please under NO circumstances, YOU DO NOT FULLY WIPE your phone before going back to the pre rooted GB. There's a bug circulating around the forum and it's called the SUPER BRICK BUG. It'll fry your emMC chip (on your phone) thereby making it as a dead paper bag. There are countless of folks here already that have succumbed to the bug. Most have returned their dead phone back to Samsung Repair for an exchange on the motherboard. That is how deadly this bug can sting your phone.
So stay away from it. (It's better late than never, mind you)
on your first question,
Use PC Odin to downgrade to a pre rooted GB one. That's it.
Cheers!

Did you get rooted installing busybox su? I think you have partial root.
Install busybox from playstore and open it. Press install button. It should be fine.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App

to check if you are fully rooted copy and paste in root / system...install busybox that helped me on ics roms then once your fully rooted flash a safe kernel ..dafuq , speedmod etc then flash new rom . dont do any wiping til on a safe kernel and read instructions fully

@All
Thanks for the your responses
This is what i did after getting some doubts cleared over here:
I rolled back to a prerooted ODEX gb ROM..and installed rocketrom for now..gonna use it for a while and check how people are finding criskelo v10.1..Once im satisfied with that gonna go ahead with flashing it..
Thanks again :good:

[Q] From an old ICS Stunner ROM, to a new CM9/10 ROM

It's been a long time since I was last seen here, I've been busy working and studying, but now that it's vacation I'd very much like to update my ROM.
Currently I'm on Kernel version: 3.0.15-I9220ZCLP5-CL295568
And my ROM is ICS Stunner Beta 5.0 (yes, a pretty old one)
CWM: v5.0.2.7
So, the question is.. How do I get from that ROM, to a new, updated one?
I've been looking around but there are no specific guides on how to do this.. And I rooted mine back when I was on 2.3.4.
Honestly, I have no idea what I should get back to before putting a new ROM over it.
It'd be great if any of you could help me out describing how it's done! I would really appreciate the effort.
Thank you in advance, and hopefully I'll be able to get the best out of my Note again after this!

Use PC Odin to flash a stock gingerbread ROM, then root and install clockworkmod recovery, download and place whatever ROM you'd like to flash on your external sd card or internal memory, lastly boot into recovery (hold volume up + home + power buttons) and factory rest, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache then flash the ROM and reboot.

Can I go directly from a GB ROM to a ICS/JB ROM? Or do I need to flash some ICS update first?
Thank you for the explanation thus far!

You can go directly from a rooted GB ROM to a ICS ROM. I wont recommend JB rom as of now as its a preview and not a daily driver.
No flashing of ICS repacks. Forget them. They are now history

Alright thank you.
By the way, I'm on the LP5 Kernel from Stunner ROM, which had alot of bricks when you flashed stuff.
Is this still an issue? If so.. How do I work around it? Because I don't want to brick it obviously.

Bump .

Nobody has an answer for me? Please?

I just explained to you the "100% safe way" to go from a stock ics rom to a custom rom in my last post. Stock gingerbread first through pc odin, root, install clockworkmod recovery, flash custom ics/jb rom of choice.

Follow these instructions.
If you have CWM installed and your device have full root.
Reboot into CWM Recovery
Install a safe kernel (hardcore, notecore, cf root, franco etc) or flash abyss 4.2 redpill recovery.
Reboot recovery
Now full wipe for a clean install.(cache/dalvik /data)
Flash rom
Reboot system
Done.

So I wouldn't even need to go back to GB if I follow your instructions sahilarora2003?
And you install a kernel just by flashing a .zip file right?

+1 I would hold off on the Jelly.....nothing exciting now. Give it a little more time....like another 3-5 updates I flashed CM10 and lasted 10mins before I came back to ICS. :good:

[Q] weird bug. need expert advice + solution

Today I tried to update my phone to a new custom rom.
I followed the instructions of the threads and tried to get it to work.
Of course it didn't work or else I wouldn't be here right now asking for help.
Here's the current situation.
I am able to boot into download mode + recovery mode and also boot into cwmr and install a different kernel.
I used pc odin to install it each time and it does pass and the rom (i've tried installing a gingerbread rom so that I can try everything again) does install.
the problem is that it is currently stuck in a boot loop at the "Samsung galaxy note gt-N7000" screen.
I have looked up dr.ketan's posts and tried some too.
currently i am booting abyss note kernel 42cwt touch original. (I know for sure it is a workable kernel because I've been using it this whole time.
here's what i've done. please tell me what i've done wrong and the possible ways to reverse it.
1. backed up everything
2. went into recovery
3. factory reset/cache clear
4. use pc odin to install new kernel (since I was looking into switching to another kernel anyways)
5. use pc odin again to install gingerbread rom (I do get the green light saying it did get installed
6. phone auto reboots
7. it gets stuck at the boot loop like i have mentioned above
i will try to attach a few pictures of my note as soon as I can so you can see what's going on with it.

What rom is there on the phone now ? if you boot into recovery .. what recovery do you get now ? CWM or stock ardroid 3e recovery ?

Right now it reboots to 3e recovery.
The rom that I tried to inject to it is currently a the stock gingerbread rom from dr. Ketans thread.
The rom that I had on it is the official ics rom for the hk region.
The rom that I wanted to inject to it was a custom jb rom that uses hydracore as a kernel.
Thanks!!

try installing a prerooted Gb rom or an ICS stock rom using PC odin.. if you choose ICS, after flash install a safe kernel..

If I do a stock ics update can I just do it through kies or do I have to do it through pc odin? Also. Would abyss or hydracore considered as a safe kernel???

yes if kies can do it then good but at this situation i dont think. its better to use PC odin for now. yes both are safe kernels

I've tried your suggestions...and it didn't seem to work out too well.
I am able to flash to different kernels and get in and out of different recovers and such, but ya...still no luck with running a rom.

Well I am not sure but I soft bricked my phone when I tried that Abyss Kernel. In my view Hydracore is safe. Philz is super safe.
Flash ICS which matches your region using Odin. If phone boots flash Philz, If not, then be ready to read a lot of stuff or get phone repaired.

Hey guys. my note seems to have cooperated and allowed me to flash a new rom and also a new kernel. Here's the catch though, now it's stuck in the samsung logo and won't boot beyond that. Any suggestions of what to do? I am continually searching on the forums to find a solution.
At least I'm happy to know it's not a brick that can't be fixed.
Thanks nokiamodeIn91 for your help so far. I really appreciate it.

which rom did you flash and which kernel? how?

I currently flashed the abyss note kernel 42 cw touch and I downloaded an old gb rom from sammobile .
Here's what I did.
1. Put my phone into download mode
2. Run as admin on PC Odin
3. Selected the Abyss kernel then flashed it.
4. Boot into the cmw, wiped cache then booted the phone into download mode again.
5. Then I installed the old GB Rom on to my phone and restarted it.
6. Phone starts, loads past the GT-N7000 logo and goes into the samsung boot logo.
7. Phone repeats the animation of the samsung logo a time or two then restarts on its own. This loops until the phone is completely drained. I know that the rom works because that was the rom that I used to root my phone. I definitely don't mind downloading another rom if I have to.
my current goal, if we can fix this, is to quickly just update to the official jb rom for n7000 and not play around with the rooting and such until I have even more time to learn more.
at least I know for sure my phone isn't hardbricked, I would imagine I have either missed a step or something that caused the problem.
I have read through the forum and I did come across one post talking about checking my phone's partition and such.
I got to be honest, I'm really not technically skilled enough at this point in time to dare to mess around with that type of thing yet especially with so much coding to make sense of it. (I know this is kind of dumb to say especially when I rooted my phone and screwed up this bad). More importantly, I don't even know for sure if I need to do a partition or not.
Please let me know what I did wrong and how I can fix it.
I got a question though (out of curiosity), how come there's no toolkit for the n7000 like the S3 and also the note 2???

this is the name of the old gb rom that I tried flashing.
N7000ZSKJ6_N7000OZSKJ6_N7000XXKJ6_HOME.tar
I actually have tried several other roms as well (from GB-JB, official and custom) and all of them so far has gotten to the samsung boot logo
I have read on the forums to try using Philz-cwm 6 kernel but I don't know if it'd solve my problem.
let me show you one of the threads I have read, if I dived into the wrong material let me know and I won't consider using it (or learn how to use it) for my current situation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661590&highlight=samsung+logo+bootloop&page=2
like I was saying before, I really have no experience in coding so all the things that really made near no sense to me. I understand the basic concept of what its trying to do it's just seems like a very unsafe method for me to try especially when I lack the necessary knowledge in this area of expertise.

did you flash the GB rom using the standard PIT file ?
also you could try with the 5 file flashing method from this thread

Hello..
Why are you only wiping cache.
You should have done a factory reset on that step.
