Download any complete stock ROM and flash with PC Odin

Thank u for ur kind reply.Look i still have the KL3 rom which i used to downgrade my firmware.I think it's a complete stock rom Ashwin used.So i'll be able to use this? N before i do it with PC Odin do i need to do anything from my mobile CWM tool which i got after the root.Or i just reinstall the rom with PC odin.Thank u.

No need to do anything from CWM recovery, flashing with PC Odin will reset your system.. Just make sure it is a complete ROM and flash it using the steps described in the 2nd post of this thread

Thank u so much.I'll try right now.

Thank u matius.It worked.Need to know something now.I'm still waiting for ICS.But i don't want to wait anymore. I see there is a new rom added to dr.ketan's post for Galaxy Note.ICS ROms-N7000XXLPY-4.0.3-2012 May-N7000OXALPY-Open Germany.My question is - is it the full complete stock rom of ICS for Galaxy note?I'll be able to upgrade to ICS with pc odin,the same way i downgraded to KL3 firmware.N it will not harm my warranty? In there dr.ketan added the upgrade guide too.Here is the installation method by dr.ketan ---->
Install using Mobile Odin safely
- Download N extract ROM
- Copy Extracted file to a folder e.g ICS ROM On Ext/Int SD card
- Download CF Root for LPY
- Extract CF root till get zImage file
- Copy zImage file to same above said folder in SD car
- Open Mobile Odin
- Select 'Open file' N point to ROM file
- select Kernel tab N point to zImage file
- select Ever Root option
- Flash
- You will get ICS ROM + Root + CWM
But my question is now why i need CF root?Is it necessary for this rom?I just want to stay with a official stock rom of ICS without any root at this moment.So can i just download the rom n install it with pc odin?

O n as this N7000XXLPY-4.0.3 Rom is official then i think I'll be able to upgrade all the official upgrade in future through WiFi?Cause i heard when we use custom roms it's not possible to get the official upgrade through WiFi.That time all we need to download the upgrade file n flash it.

You don't need it. CF-root is only for those who want a rooted system with CWM. You can simply flash the rom using pc odin.

It's the official ICS rom for Germany. This means in theory it should be possible to download OTA updates. But I can't guarantee it since the rom is for Germany and it is possible that Samsung checks what rom for which geographical market is installed prior to providing the update for download. Maybe they refuse to update your system if the installed rom is from another country.

Thank u for ur reply.But i think when Samsung will release the Rom for my region i'll be able to flash it again?N should i use the same settings in odin? I mean only check the Auto Reboot n Reset time when i flash the official ICS Rom ?

About flashing via odin
Well I am having the same question.. Before rooting I made a backup using cwm, then my friend flashed ics stunner 5.0. I don't know how but it crashed and I restore my phone using cwm backup. Now it is the stock ics but the kernel is different.. It says abyss kernel.. My question now is that if I flash the rom using the above mentioned method will I get the stock rom+ stock kernel and second question, and what about the binary counter will it increase again.???

[Q] Update ROM help needed

Hello,
as i have no access to development forum i have to ask here my question:
My current status is:
- have my Samsung Galaxy Note rooted using Zergrush Method
- rom: KKA
- kernel: AbyssNote v3.1
my questions are:
- how to flash newest stock rom LA3, which method to use CWM, mobile odin pro or Odin PC?
- do i have to reflash the kernel to stock kernel of KKA rom before i can flash the new stock rom?
I like to keep my device rooted with CWM if possible. If someone please who got time could give me a detailed guide step by step how todo it. Sorry for my english its not my native one .
You can download CWM or MobileOdin versions of the modem. I used the CWM version and added it I think as a flash update. Just go through each of the options till you get the one that lets you choose the downloaded modem file.

Just download said ROM, extract it.

Dont check 're-partition'
select PDA in odin with CODE * file
Modem - Modem *

put mobile in Download mode, attach to PC, once you will see yellow table on COM, set START

You can't root la1/la3 directly. You have to root first older rootable rom, root it n use mobile odin or cwm to update la1/la3.

You need to flash a stock Gingerbread rom from PC Odin. Then you can either wait for an official OTA update in your region, or download and flash the German ICS update that's been posted in the general section. Flash that through PC Odin. To get root, flash the LPY CF-Kernel that's in the development section. Flash the kernel through mobile odin. The lite version will work as you don't have root already and you don't need the everroot option. But I suggest you support the developer of that app, and buy the pro version, who gave you the rooted kernel in the first place
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646023
What I recommend, based on what I did:
- Download the leaked German official ROM (about 600-700Mb), .tar.md5 file and put into your phone's sd-card.
- Install Mobile Odin Pro from Play Store (need to pay. there's free version too, but I suggest you pay for Pro, safer).
- In M. Odin, open the .tar.md5 file, and press flash. (if you don't mind wiping, best to also check the wipe options).
I didn't wipe, and then it couldn't boot.
So I booted into recovery, and wiped data/factory reset and cache, then it booted fine.
Still had root.
Then I installed CF-Kernel. Go to the Dev thread and scroll down till you see the GT...LPY version and download that zip. Unzip to take out the .tar file, copy to sd-card.
Use Mobile Odin to open it, and then flash. It will flash the kernel, and then you will have ClockworkMod recovery so that you can backup/restore ROMs again.
(Note: You can actually do the above in one single step, but opening the CF kernel file after you open the ICS file, so that everything else points to the ICS file except the kernel points to CF Kernel.)

[24sept12]How to Root/Unroot Samsung Galaxy Note + CWM
Follow the guide.

As you are on ics,you are not on a safe kernel
So as soon as you root your phone,you need to flash a safe kernel
So follow the 2nd method in the first post of the above link
By using that method,you need to flash a safe kernel(hydracore or philz are best) and you will be automatically rooted
Your flash counter increases after you flash a safe kernel and you can clear it by using "triangle away" app in playstore
This is an easy and safest method
best as u on ddlr9,look for philz kernel in the android dev section. Download the ddrl9 version. put it on ur sd card or internal storage. boot into recovery and choose install zip from sd. choose the zip file and done
u have root, safe kernel, cwm. voila!
no counter no triangle
the guide ask only to to dwnld su.zip file put in the root of ur sd card and flash.. thatz it.. cud u tell me why do i ve to flash a new kernal.. and what the f is odin.
Follow the 2nd method in the first post of the above link or follow nokiamodeln91 instructions and flash philz kernel
And if you dont even know what odin is,then better stay stock
First make some reading,know the basics,and then think of rooting
okay. i ll read some more.. i always used rom manager and cwm recovery to flash roms. is odin like rom manager.. spare my noob questions..
no odin is a flash tool used on pc to flash roms on the phone
well u said in ur previous post that if i m on ddlr9 thatz best so does this kernal version is safe. can i directly flash su.zip file or if i need any safe kernal w.r.t ddlr9 can u post its link.
thankz in advance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
just download the ddlr9 kernel from the above post and install from stock recovery.
u will get root, cwm and safe kernel. no other files required
thankz i get it.. i d be thankul if u answer this do i ve to make any backup before flashing this 7mb file.. cuz in the thread developer has asked to backup EFS files.. i wonder what are they?
yes ofcourse.. copy the efs folder to a secure location as well as use ktool from the playstore to backup efs as well.
EFS is the one that holds crucial data wifi address,bluetooth address and mainly imei number
Its safe to use ktool than just copying the efs folder
how m i supposed to baclup efs files that app u recommended requires root permissions..
which 7mb file were you talking about?
---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------
oh you mean the Philz kernel?
no need to backup efs. it's required before you start flashing new rom.
Its not mandatory to backup it right now
First root your phone and then backup efs
thankz.. i m obliged with such generosity. cud u also tell me if in future i plan to revert back i.e getting on stock rom and unroting inorder to claim warranty and all that stuff. how shall i do it.. and after flashing kernel will i b able to get over the air(OTA)updates...

I currently using ICS 4.0.4 and would like to use JB. I am just trying to know if there is any means, we could able to use external sd card for the update as there is option...
if you are talking about the option is android recovery 3e then No. to install a new rom you need CWM recovery, Mobile odin or PC odin.
nokiamodeln91 is right, you need cwm , or Odin for flashimg new roms
if i download the german firmware JB and flash with odin, Will i get the update NEE? Do I need to have german CSC as well to install in in my GNote which is running NEE ICS 4.0.4

no you will not get the NEE update. Only DBT updates.. if NEE JB comes out then manually update using odin. You can install any rom.

Thank you!! I am installing right now. can't wait to test JB as samsung is taking long time to update in Finland.
once again thank you very much all of you.
Enjoy JB. But keep in mind that JB out of the box might not be smooth. You may need to root it and remove some boatwares.

I accidentally wiped out the internal memory @ ROM of my tablet ( Samsung SM-T330NU). It is now frozen on a download screen with the Android logo in the middle , I cannot turn it off or go into recovery mode with any of the usual buttons.
In addition, the PC doesn't see it, so I cannot use Odin either from the PC or the tablet.
How can I fix it? I thought I could download the stock firmware on the PC and copy it to the tablet external card, but I am not to sure how to do it. The stock firmware I was able to download is an MDS file. Can I copy it to the Ext SD card of the tablet as it is, or do I have to do something else?May be extract the files. How?
Thanks for the help
Ittiandro
Problem solved! . My tablet was able to connect to the computer with Odin and I could flash the Stock ROM . Never thought it would ! One of those wrong assumptions!
Thanks
Ittiandro
