sup xda!?
I was trying to ask for this in the General Thread for CM9 but only found trouble..
After looking through the thread for over an hour, I still couldn't find a comprehensive guide on how to install CM9 on my device..
I know that you need PC-Odin for it, you need gapps and of course the zip of the ROM, but I just can't figure out what to flash, what Kernel to flash and how to..
As I saw many people asking about this, I think it would be greatly appreciated if one of you pros could spare the -minutes- it takes to give us noobs some info..
I am currently on the latest Stunner build and on the LP6-Kernel..
thanks for any help! peace
EDIT:
ok, copperdawgnc sent me to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and told me:
"This will show you how to use PC ODIN & has GB roms to download"
so it seems that we need to use PC-Odin, as expected, and install a GB Rom first..
I know how to use Odin a bit but I still don't know what to install..
what Kernel, which ROM, any ROM? and do I really have to flash an unrooted stock and re-root..? why is that necessary?
p
Maybe this can be of some help:

thanks!
so, it should go like this:
1 get ODEX PRE ROOTED N7000XXLC1 (Europe) or ODEX PRE ROOTED N7000DXLC2 (Malaysia)
2 install via PC-Odin
2.1 get PIT file and choose the 3 (?) files mentioned in the screenshot
3 after it's done: download Mobile ODIN
2. download CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5.zip
3. load CF-Root kernel using Mobile Odin
4. get back into recovery
5. wipe data
6. install cm9 and gapps
7. wipe
8. done?
seriously?
wouldn't it work if we only install the CF-Root-Kernel LC1 (?) and flash CM9 from there through Odin?
LC1 or some other Kernel?
thx
Thanks for posting this question, MrKancho. I can't help, but have the exact same situation myself, with imilka's CM9 rom. Just want to confirm that the installation method you outlined works without any problems before trying it myself.
Thx

You want to flash CM9 through Odin?
And how do you propose to flash a zip file using Odin?
:facepalm:
You flash CM9 and Gapps using CWMR.

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.

Hey,
thank you for all answers so far i been reading the guide you linked but i cant find my problem... it very specific as i have abyssnote kernel and i want to keep cwm and device rooted not nessecary the kernel as i can flash it alone leater. I been reading aswell this post from dr.ketan forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445522 about flashing the new ROM but im not sure if i can use this method using CWM if i have abyssnote kernel installed and my current ROM is KKA. Please advice.
Is it possible to use mobile odin pro like this?
- download and extract la3 rom to ex. sd card
- open mobile odin pro point to folder where extracted rom is and select code file
- then just flash with selected options: everroot, superuser, mobile odin and cwm manager
hi ...
how i install the LP1 ICS Repack with mobile odin?
Install Mobile Odin and Mobile Odin's Flash Kernel - if you can't find proper kernel file for your device, buy Mobile Odin Pro and it'll do it for you.
In mobile Odin, select "select file" and browse to all 5 files included in ICS repack. After that, hit "flash". Wait untill it reboots in the recovery, after it's done - do a data wipe.
You're done.

Also remember to keep the Ever-root option checked other wise you will not get root in you ICS rom.

tried to flash via mobile Odin- phone restarted and booted to cwm.cwm says
Flashing...
then it reboots and doesn't continue.phone goes into bootloop.
tried KKA, KJ1 stock roms... no go. also tried directly flashing from rocket rom, obviously it failed miserably. any inputs?
Try wiping the cache and data. If it doesn't work then download KJ1 rom from Dr Ketan's thread and flash it via PC Odin.

I downloaded the ICS LP1 Repack, i got Mobile Odin too. We're supposed to install AbyssNote Kernel also, right? But when is that?
1/ Launch Mobile Odin and select ICS Repack (directly the TAR archive, it works)
2/ Flash WITH wipe, then install AbyssKernel?
3/ Install the ICS ROM we want.
I downloaded iMilka CM9 & ICS Stunner (will try that first). Please anyone confirm this is the right thing to do in the right order.

No. Modify your steps like this here-
1/ Launch Mobile Odin and select ICS Repack (directly the TAR archive, it works)
2/ Flash WITH wipe. Reboot and let rom settle. Then go to recovery. Wipe the cache/dalvik and data
3/ Install the ICS ROM we want. Wipe the cache/dalvik and data and reboot.
Thanks, however in Stunner ICS there's no MODEM we have to install our own it seems, they suggest LP5 but don't even provide links...

Why would anybody need ICS repak if you are on GB? If you are on GB rom, root it(either directly or downgrading and rooting with relevant CFRoot files - PC Odin). directly install ICS ROM of your choice via CWM(as rooting GB rom will install CWM auto matically if you have chosen right CFRoot files)

You lose root if you go directly from GB to custom ICS, hence the Repack step.

I dont think so... i have done the same and have not lost root. i can confirm this because i am using CWM and also Titanium backup regularly. Also have checked root status

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.)

Hi,
I am new to Android Phones. I tried to root my Galaxy Note using the above method
2. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark
-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it. OR Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin
-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery
-Install Mobile Odin Pro
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Open Mobile Odin Pro
-select open file
but i run mobile odin without downloading the odin version of custom kernel (I got confused, I thought I needed to do thisafter running mobile odin) and now my phone is stuck in flashing mode for about 45mins switching on and off.
What should I do?
Thank you in advance for your help...

Flash Pre rooted ROm again Wipe cache and data and repeat procedure, that will be safe.
It worked! Thank you!
Just a quick question...
I followed all the steps mentioned on the thread up to installing mobile odin and copying the ics rom....
but I am confused with the odin version of custom kernel...I am trying to find the correct cf-root kernel through the link you provided but I can not find the KJ1. I downloaded the one you have attached below mobile odin screenshots. Is that ok?
And also where do I copy the kernel? Internal or external sd? Should it be in a specific directory in order to be detected by mobile odin?
Sorry for all these questions but I looked around and there is no specific instructions anywhere about this part.
Thank you...
Which rom you want to flash?

Since I am new to the android platform phones, I think it will be better if i explained what my objective is so I won't confuse you too....
I want to be able to install and use rooted applications like titanium back up. I read that in order to do this I have to root my phone.
So what I want to do now is to root my phone in order to use ie titanium black without upping my flash counter.
Also I do not care to have a custom ICS, I prefer the stock one for now until I become more familiar with all these.
I followed the steps but the customn kernel things has confused me.
My phone is as mentioned before a galaxy note with ICS 4.04 before I started the procedure, now I have Gingerbread 2.35.
What should I do?
Thank you

Go to this thread and just flash the kernel using PC Odin.(First way)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
You will have CWM and rooted device.After that you can use Titanium Backup and all other applications which required root
Sahil hez on gb rooted.rom. So no need to flash custom kernel with pc odin. i think mobile odin will b best for him.
@op
Go to first link on my signature, download any ics rom you want
Download notecore kernel std tar version
Copy both.to sd card
Now look to rom switch over from my signature and find how to use mobile odin

Thank you for the quick reply!!!
Just to be sure, when you say first method you mean the one below
1. Short, easy - requires to reset counter
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Flash it using PC odin for PDA tab.
-You will get exclamation mark and raised counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away
-First time opening triangle away application, it will ask to download file(flasher), let it complete. then choose to reset counter, it will restart in special recovery an finish job.\
If yes, then this brings us back - almost - to my original question....how do i use the custom kernel (cf or notecore) with odin? I know it uzips to a zimage etc but how do I use it which odin? Also which cf kernel -if iuse this one- is correct for my phone? Is there a link you can provide that explains all these?
Thank you!

Do you guys have any tips or some guides made for the noobs among us?
that 1st link is the safest and best.
download the rom of. your choice. It. doesn't need to be of. your region. although you can check the latest firmware on www.samfirmware.com....
Once downloaded, use pc odin with the downloaded rom tar.md5 file selected in the pda tab. The connect the phone to pc in download mode and press start.
If you are upgrading to ics, then do not do any wipes, first flash a safe kernel...

Thanks for replying. Good to know that that thread is safe, but what do you mean by flashing a safe kernel? Those terms mean nothing to me.
theres two way to flash ROM. 1 is using PC ODIN and the other one is CWM
Flashing Via PC ODIN .. you need to have two thing.. The Rom You Want to flash and the PC-ODIN software
Flashing Via CWM.. you need two things. You need to root your phone and you need to install CWM.
every rom comes with modem, kernel (the file that govern how to handle your phone cpu), csc... the kernel inside ics is known to have brickbug
theres no need to flash kernel if you are flashing Rom via PC ODIN... Flashing kernel is when you are using CWM....

So, I can just flash any ROM using ODIN, and there will be no risk bricking my device?
If I flash a ROM, will I have a fresh install, and will my kernel also change so that I don't have the brickbug anymore?

yes you can flash any ROM using ODIN safely without bricking your device.
yes you will have a fresh install. your kernel will change too. as for the brickbug....
If you flash via PC ODIN then everything is stock to what you flashed.the kernel the firmware the csc the modem..all as stock provided....
1.If you flash ICS via PC-ODIN then your kernel also would be stock ics kernel that has brickbug..
Warning :
Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM
let say you want to flash Latest JB Rom but you are on ICS stock.
first thing you need to do is root your device ...install CWM.. Flash safe kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
let say ive rooted... installed CWM with safe kernel...
what i always do is everytime i want to flash new rom whatever rom it is...i flash Speedmod 3-15 (safe kernel) and go to Advance>reboot recovery and flash any rom i want so that im on the safe side without worrying what kernel im on.
2.If you flash GB than your kernel will be GB kernel which is safe to wipe..
if you want to flash custom rom from gb then you root your device and installed CWM and Flash since GB kernel is safe.
but.. let say u flashed ICS and wanted to go back to GB. then you are not safe anymore,,, that is why i always flashed Speedmod kernel 3-15 (safe kernel) and reboot recovery (by going to advance>rebootrecovery) and flashed any rom... that way im always sure that im in safe kernel when flashing Rom

If you flash via PC ODIN then everything is stock..If you flash ICS via PC-ODIN then your kernel also would be stock ics kernel that has brickbug.. if you flash GB than your kernel will be GB kernel which is safe to wipe..

My question: I have a SGN infected with the eMMC bug, and I want to upgrade it to the latest stock ROM. I know very little about flashing, and I know there are some risks when doing some things. I would like to know if the first link is safe for me, and which ROM I should use of the ones listed there (I live in The Netherlands). Do you guys have any tips or some guides made for the noobs among us?

You can download any stock rom you want from searching it on the forum then you can flash it through ODIN using your computer
