[Q] ICS Stunner to gb

Hi All,
I'm on ics stunner 1.4.26_1 LP6 kernel. I wish to go back to stock GB after seeing some bricked notes. whats the best way to go about it?
can i just download the stock firmware i was using before from samfirmware and simply flash pda using ODIN desktop?
if so, any options i should check before flashing?
many thanks!

Solution
Here's what I Did:
Downloaded the stock jpkk2 firmware from sammobile.com
Used PC ODIN to flash the stock ROM. Re-Partition option was not selected.
Once done, the phone rebooted and went into a bootloop.
To cure that I went into recovery and did a factory reset, Wipe Cache and next time it rebooted normally.
For those who had the same situation as mine and dont wish to go into lengthy procedure in the linked thread above, you can do what i did

+1 to that. I used the exact same procedure, everything went fine and I'm now running RocketROM v23, as I think it's the ok-est ROM so far on GB
I do so miss ICS though sometimes...

EDIT: apparantly I might be very wrong.

If you already flashed Stunner then in my opinion you have nothing to worry about. Once the rom is flashed your phone won't magically brick itself at some point.

According to the opinion of Entropy512, you may indeed have something to worry about. Even after flashing your eMMC can still be damaged. No offence, but I'm more inclined to believe him than you!

Neh, don't trust those guys that know what they're talking about, have faith in little old me
That's troubling news indeed. I've done a crapload of wiping and flashing ICS roms and kernels but so far I've had no problems whatsoever. But after reading that thread I might just revert back to a GB rom. I love Stunner's rom and ICS in general but would be devastated if my Note cries 'mein Leben' a week before the official, hopefully problem-free ICS update.
I hope Samsung is aware of these faulty driver settings, otherwise we'll see loads of bricked Notes in a couple of weeks.

Yes, it's very troubling! I've changed to the DAFUQ kernel, which is not based on the faulty Samsung leaks and is supposedly safe. It's a little bit buggy on Stunner (no boot anim, sometimes colours are screwed up and you have to turn the screen on and off, but no major bugs so far). For me it beats going back to GB because I simply love tablet mode. EDIT: Also, no external sdcard...
Personally I think a big fat warning about the leaked kernels should be stickied on the forum or something because lots of people don't seem to be aware of the issues, including more experienced members.

I just flash abysnotekernel and restore my GB backup. It takes less then 5 mins.

are you implying ICS is coming to Note in two weeks? any official word on it?

Sorry to hijack the thread, I just downgraded from STUNNER to GB,
Flashed the pre-rooted "N7000DXLC2_CSC_N7000OLBLC2",
how can I install CWM on this? I don't find any thread for LC2 installation.
Thanks...

I checked this thread where they post all the rooted kernels and CWM for those ROMS. LC2 is not in the list. Why not flash a compatible ROM from that thread?

Oh, no, haha, sorry for the misunderstanding. It was just an example of Murphy using his law to mess up my Note right before ICS is finally released

lol. I got excited!

i just went back to GB (cassie's Xtralite rom) from stunner using Chasmodo's method mentioned.
install abyss kernel 4.2
reboot into recovery
do the wiping
install custom GB rom
no problems whatsoever.

Unless I've misunderstood Entropy512s posts on the matter, you still risked a hardbrick because you used the leaked kernel in stunner to flash the abysskernel.
The safest way to revert to GB is to flash an original or prerooted ROM using PC Odin thusly:
1. Odin flash a prerooted rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
Do a factory reset wipe from the recovery menu (volume up + home + power) if you are stuck in a boot loop.
2. Flash a CF-rooted kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
3. Flash your preferred flava from CWM
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

For me this is the safest way to do this:
1. Download the Abyss 4.2 Red Pil kernel and put it on your internal sd card.
2. Boot into recovery
3. Flash the Abyss kernel and do not exit recovery yet
4. Go to the advanced menu and choose"reboot recovery"
5. Now you're in the Red Pil recovery
6. Wipe Cache, then Wipe Dalvik Cache, then Wipe data/factory settings
7. Install the GB Rom of your choice
8. Reboot. At this point, I leave the phone alone for 10 minutes - I don't set up anything, just let the phone sit. Then I reboot again.
9. Set up your phone and enjoy

Technically you could still brick your Note because you're flashing Abyss with the flawed ICS kernel you're on. I did the same however to revert back to a GB rom (thanks again pboesboes for posting the links) and at the moment I'm using Checkrom with Abyss 4.2 and Nemus Launcher.
To make absolutely sure you won't run into any problems Hawklan_D's method is the safest.

I'm not the person to say for sure, but I think if you've successfully flashed away from the leak repack ICS kernels by whatever method with no ill effects, you're in the clear.
That's my hope anyway, having messed with a lot of the flashing methods / kernels with (touch wood) no damage to my Note.

These are the correct instruction for your case, taken from the OP of the Rom.
DON'T flash FROM ANY SAMSUNG ICS OR ROMS BASED ON SAMSUNG KERNELS (my CM9, AOSP, etc)
Flash any stock GB rom with odin / or any GB kernel, and reboot into recovery once again before flashing this
Install Rom: http://d-h.st/sGz 171.14 MB
Install HYBRID Gapps: http://tjohansson.is-a-geek.com/file...0511-fixed.zip
Wipe caches, factory reset is a must if you're coming from another rom than CM9
Hope that helps mate!

You have to gain root once you have flashed a GB Rom via PC Odin.
Then you can proceed to flash Paranoid.

Have I lost full root????

I came from ICS rocket rom with bad kernel - flashed abyss kernel, rebooted recovery, did full wipe, flashed paranoid android and flashed gapps. All seemed well until I realised I can't paste into /system, am I right in thinking I only have partial root, is there any way to gain full root without wiping back to GB rooted rom and starting over????????

You don't have full root, that is certain. The only way you're gonna regain it is by
going back to rooted GB, then back to ICS.

Do not do restores through a partially working Recovery, you might mess up your phone.
Do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25285584&postcount=3
After you are done injecting the CWMR, go to Paranoid thread and follow the instructions.

OMFG i'm an idiot
Well durrrr, just realised I hadn't checked the option for mounting system as writable - I am fully rooted on what is easily the best ROM I've used EVER!!!
Thanks a lot for the replys - this is a much better place thanks to people like you

Do you have vcf backup of contacts? I personally have my contacts on google contacts, so whenever I flash a new ROM, contacts restore by syncing google account.

Wht i understand is you want to flash a custom ICS rom on your note.
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.
Flash rom
Reboot system

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

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.

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

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!

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)

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

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:

Stuck on boot logo after trying to install custom rom...

Help, my Note is stuck on the boot logo after trying to install a custom rom.
I have tried several roms now and non of them pass the boot screen. Getting a little scared now.
Here are the steps I have taken. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
Stock rom
Root and install clockwork mod
nandroid backup
flash abyss kernal
wipe data
wipe cache
install custom rom
stuck on boot logo
I have just tried restoring the nandroid backup and the same thing happens... stuck on boot logo
Have I bricked the phone?
I can still access clockwork if that's any help.

I'm trying a restore via pc odin now.
Not got much hope though, seems to be stuck. The bar doesn't move anymore :'(
Hope an expert will assist.

What stock rom are you on, is it ics? If so nandroid backups and restores are dangerous on stock kernel.
Try flashing stock gb with pc Odin and go from there. If it fails, post at what point ie factory.fs.

Did you use CWM.zip to root your phone and flash Abyss?
Did you do wipe while still on Temp CWM?
If the answer is yes to both, you are Superbricked

After flashing abyss kernel have you rebooted to recovery to do all 3 wipes. ?

I might have flashed Abyss while on temp. Can't really remember.
What do I do now?
Anything else I can try?
Get Amazon to replace it?
Edit: I can't seem to get into clockwork recovery anymore. It just says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
But I can get into the 'downloading' mode.
Help.

Wipes using Temp CWM.zip will result in brick
''Odin just stops at a certain point; yes it's at factory.fs''
that means you have bricked your phone.

So what can I do now?
Return to Samsung/Amazon?
Will they know that it was my fault?

Warranty
Go to recovery mode and check whether its showing binary counter 1 or above, ''Staus'' Official or Custom
If binary count is 0 and status is official you will get warranty
tell service center people that while updating new update via ota , your phone bricked

deleted

Flash GB
just pull out the battery. wait for 10 secs.. reinsert. go back to download mode..
use odin 1.85 and just select the tar.md5 fine in pda section..
Flash Gingerbread rom.

I will try that in the next 20 mins once the stock rom downloads.
To stop this happening again, could someone please, please, please post some noob friendly instructions on how I should flash a custom rom from stock.
I know someone might say 'just google it' or 'there are plenty of guides out there', but I was sure I had the steps nailed down otherwise I wouldn't have tried it.
It would be very helpful.
Especially to see exactly where I went wrong.
Anyway, thanks for all the info.

Yeah, I'm getting the stock GB (UK) rom from there.
Taking a while as a free user.
Thanks.

My Way of root + cwm (i have checked this in ICS only )
1. flashing safe kernels like hydracore 5.4 or Philz kernel 2.7 using PC odin
2. reboot
3. now you have root + CMW
4. open super su / superuse app
5. check for root access using Root Checker
6. Flash Supersu.zip in CMW if experience any root issues
7. now will be having stock ics with safe kernel and cwm.

Sorry, want to be as clear as possible.

Flashing Any Custom Roms
1. Flash Any Safe Kernel and reboot to recovery
2. do all 3 wipes (wipe data/factory, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache)
3. Flash custom rom.zip
4. reboot
5. enjoy new custom rom

@ anoopva
Thank you for all your valuable info.
I may put it to use if I have the courage to risk a replacement phone.
Will update thread shortly on how flashing to GB goes.
I won't hold my breath.

You won't be able to flash a ROM anymore. Odin will get stuck. DO NOT attempt to flash a custom kernel through PC Odin. It will RAISE your flash counter and then it will be obvious that you have messed with your phone, so warranty will be voided! There is another way to get recovery, just wait.....

Yes, just found that it got stuck.
Got further than with the stock ICS rom.
So do I have any options other than to return the phone?

[Q] How to upgrade GB to JB?

Hi Guys,
Can someone guide / help me on how to upgrade my N7000 unit to JB and still rooted.
I'm still using GingerBread ROM with AbyssNote Kernel and already Rooted. Also installed with CWM
I want to know the step in upgrading it to Custom JB ROMs (MKalter JB, RocketRom)
Any suggestion will greatly appreciated.
Kindly refer on the images regarding details of my beloved SG Note
Thanks

You can not go from gingerbread to jb.
You need to download an ics rom ,like rocket with root and cwm. Do full wipe. Flash ics rom.
If that's cool download eybees jb
Full wipe and flash that .if root has gone open up SU and update the binary. The app will do this .just press on it .
Do not try skipping the ics . You will brick your phone ! Hope I helped
Sent from the man in Your attic.....

who says you can't go from gb to jb
i was on rooted stock gb and i flashed leaked stock jb over it and everything is working fine..
why do you think that ics has to be flashed ?
infact i did ask here at xda before flashing and nobody told me to flash ics over gb first

Same here. I downgraded to GB yesterday to SIM unlock my phone and went back directly to JB the second it was done.
Safe kernel is the only thing that matters, Rom base has nothing to do with it.

You mean guys I can flash directly to any Custom JB ROMs without bricking my beloved Note?
Downloading the RocketRom V1 JB (by Eybee1970 -Thanks!)
Currently, I'm using the AbbysNote 4.2 Kernel I just need to follow this steps below and everything will be fine. Right?
copy ROM on your USB-storage
boot in Recovery
FullWipe (also when coming from other Sammy-JB-ROM!)
Format SYSTEM!!!
flash ROM (it will reboot automatically in most cases)
after initial setup, open Super SU-app and you have to update SU-bin (app will do that for you if necessary!)
*FullWipe - clear cache, clear Dalvik, format system, factory restore?
Thank You..

That's correct, all you need is safe kernel.

i agree!! i've done that several times to flash from gb to jb using abyss kernel (just a personal preference); there are other safe kernels to flash from.

Present HydraCore kernels will most certainly NOT work with the JB leak Rom.
