Hello again,
I've installed the official german ICS (LPY) on my note today. Now I'd like to root it. Can I do it from here or do I have to downgrade to a rootable version of GB?
I used to be on Rocket rom V23 and still have a backup on my ext sd card.
Can I restore from a backup? Thanks for your precious help.

You have 2 options:
1. Flash CF Root with PC Odin, you'll get root directly but will also get yellow triangle and will increase your flash counter
2. Roll back to GB (prerooted or a directly rootable ROM), get root and flash ICS LPY with Mobile Odin with everroot (or with replacing the stock zImage with CF Root)

I've searched the entire forum and Google as well, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24656901 should provide the best explanation on how to revert back to GB.
However, in that thread, he mentioned that I need to flash abyss 4.0+ kernel first before restoring the backup. How about if the backup file is corrupted for some reason, are there any alternatives to revert back?
Also, if my phone was bricked one day(assume I can enter downloadmode but not CWM, which means I can't flash the abyss 4.0+ kernel), can I use the USB jig and flash the ics leak according to Dr Ketan's guide?

Yes. Download any custom GB rom to your PC (Darky, Cassie's XL, whatever), pull your SD card out, slot it in SD Card reader, transfer the GB rom from your PC to your SD card. Put the card back into your phone.
Boot into CWMR, flash Abyss, reload Recovery to get the Redpill one.
Do your wipes (data, cache, dalvik).
Tap 'install zip from SD card', navigate to your GB rom, and flash.
Reboot when the flash is done.
Pour yourself a stiff drink.

I wouldn't recommend that. I'd flash a rootable stock Rom via PC Odin, root it, flash the 1st ICS repack and flash the ICS rom of your choice. It's safer this way.

However in that situation I got a bricked phone with other kernel not Abyss Kernel.
People just emphasize flashing Abyss Kernel b4 reverting to GB, is that really viable to flash stock GB rom via pc odin?

If soft bricked (you can just reach the Download mode, not the Recovery), flashing Abyss is out, because you have no recovery to flash it from.
The only way to get yourself out of the sticky situation without triggering the binary counter and getting the triangle is the PC Odin and stock Rom. That way your binary counter stays at NO (meaning 0).
Afternoon all,
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 and the about phone screen shows:
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: N7000XXLA4
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341 [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
First things first, I would like to root and I've looked around XDA / Google and found a couple of different methods. Which one is best and ensures I lose no functionality?
Many thanks all.
Rob
If you don't want to spend time downgrading - then again upgrading, simply flash rooted stock rom from pc odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
So I download this the file I've highlighted in the .png attachment.
Then use ODIN to flash the 3 files on the phone and then I have fully rooted phone with stock ROM and kernel?
Yep, easy as that. After that you can flash Chainfire's CF Kernel for that rom (so you'll need the LA6 version of that kernel) if you want CWM Recovery and flash custom roms. If you just want root then you're done after you flashed with Odin.
may i know, it after rooted SGN, will i be able to upgrade to ICS via kies, or i have to flash back to stock GB.
You probably will lose root if you use kies.
use the zerg rush method, as flashing with odin will rise your binary counter and you will lose your warrenty, and i heard that if you flash any rom with odin even if it was stock one, you will lose the ability to update your phone from kies, for me updating from kies is useless as it will wipe your date and will take so long, i flash stock roms using odin because its faster and doesn't wipe your data
According to the thread where I downloaded the ROM from above I didn't need to worry about the flash counter. Can anyone confirm if this goes up or not?

Using a complete stock ROM will not increase your counter..also using Mobile Odin and recovery to flash won't..
The only thing that will increase your counter is flashing custom ROM and kernel through PC Odin..
So I can assume that because I used PC ODIN to do this update I've increased the flash count by one?
Is there any way to reset it?
Not if you flashed stock samsung rom.
To reset triangle and custom binary count,
Wait for official ICS then use Triangle Away.
Hi all, just need sme advice as I've done a lot of reding tonight but still unsure how to proceed.
I have a UK Galaxy Note, originally unlocked stock Samsung.
It currently has the original chainfire repack of the I9220 chinese leak (http://download.chainfire.eu/146/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-I9220_ZC_OZH_LP1-v5.2-CWM5.zip) from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500186
I'd like to flash the official N7000OXALPY ROM on it now.
My question is, can I use mobile odin to apply the german ICS ROM directly?
I believe I may need to flash a GB ROM first? If that is the case could I do this via mobile odin?
Unfortunately I don't have a nandroid of the GB ROM i was on before to restore (I've learnt my lesson!).
Thanks!

Here is what i did. I flashed N7000CPWLB2--United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse) using PC Odin, download link from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997. I then root and used PC Odin to flash the german ICS. I did full wipe afterwards in recovery. You don't get CMW with this approach but i don't need it.
With regards to the second link, do I have an i9220 bootloader now from the chainfire repack? (not sure how to confirm this).
I'd like to follow the instructions from dr.ketan but bit unsure if it's safe?
If you have flashed LP5 Repack then you have i9220 bootloaders ! If you have flashed the LP1 repack then you are without those bootloaders
Hackerboi, its the LP1 ROM. Does that mean I can use dr.ketans guide directly to flash the official ICS via mobile odin, or should I still flash a GB rom with odin first?
I was on TMT 1.0, what I did was flash a direct rootable ROM using PC Odin, root the ROM, flash stock LPY ROM using the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 and that's it.

Flash NOTHING from Repack, be it with Mobile Odin or CWMR.
Use PC Odin to get to GB first. Then you can proceed to ICS.

Just did that exact same way myself - I always flash back to stock with PC Odin, and then re-root. Takes longer, but less hassles!
I tried each and every thing to get full root but everytime I end up with that fu** partial root. Is there anybody who can guide me. I had tried following things till now :
1. Installed Factory kJ1 via pc odin.
2. Got full root access in KJ1 GB rom (tested by pasting a file in system folder)
3. Rebooted in recovery.
4. Installed Red pill Abyss kernel.
5. Did all the three wipes in red pill mode.
6. Installed Kingdroid Rom and s3 mod patch via red pill abyss.
7. Booted up in Rom and noticed a partial root.
8. Then flashed Chainfire 5.6 kernel via pc odin.
9. Used remove triangle apk ( succeded in removing triangle)
10. But still that partial root.
11. Then tried to flash cwm.zip via "update from sdcard" mode in CWM but failed to do so. It says no update file available.
12. Then installed the same file via "Select zip from sd card".
13. Did succeded in installing by this method then tried to install SU installer but CWM hangs at "unmounting system".
14. And guess what that fu**ing partial root.
I have tried many times the same methods but still no benefit.
I upgraded using Mobile Odin and I have full root.
When MO loads files, replace kernel with CF-Root 5.6 or any other safe kernel.
Hope it helps.

Read this post before you continue.
As CF said Beware: update.zip's can trigger the bug if they use "format" commands!
This kernel is safe to restore backups and to perform wipe data and factory reset but do not use it to flash custom roms.

even i did this but i never flashed cf root via pc odin earlier. let me give it a try will tell u. ...
Success
Finally succeded in rooting ICS thanks to robbie hood and his method given in Alliance rom forum.
I have galaxy note with officially ics updated. i wish to downgrade to gb without any brick( hardbrick or superbrick). which is the safest mode to flash gb over ics. pc odin(with pre-rooted stock gb rom) or cwm with safest ics kernal (custom gb rom) ..
In my opinion, the best way is to use this guide by dr. Ketan:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
1. Download correct directly rootable rom from that thread.
2. Flash it via PC Odin.
3. Reboot into recovery.
4. Wipe, clear cache, boot your device ( after flashing GB, not on ICS )
5. Root and install CWM using ZergRush automated installer.
Never had any problems with this method, while flashing pre-rooted roms caused a few glitches.
it is must to choose non-wipe gb stock rom, am i correct ?
