[Q] Need some guidance on note...

Hi,
Recently i have just switched from IPhone to Galaxy Note, while really need some advise on get it "rooted" and flash with ICS (Since many people feed back its eventually better" perhaps someone can guide me a proper way of backing up my system as well as flashing it?
my phone details as below:-
Model - GT-N7000
Android Version - 2.3.6
Baseband - N7000DXKL2
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA1(I suppose this should be KJ1? but on my phone it shows this...)
Build number - GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
in such situation should i proceed to get it flash with the KJ1 method?

yes your ROM is newer, so you have to downgrade it.
You can downgrade to KJ1 pre rooted ROM, download link you may find on 4th line on my signature.

So in summary all i need to do is to downgrade my ROM to KJ1, follow the guide to root it, then only flash it to ICS?
by doing all these will it void the warranty of the phone?

Forget about ICS for right now..I would consider it advanced to install and for beginners I would stick to rooted GB builds until you got more familar with the phone and flashing etc..

Yes, Get Root + CWM
To install ICS, follow installation guide available with ICS ROM you want to install
Somwat agree with MrDSL, at least you shud read a lot before installing ICS.
Warranty can be regain by Reflashing Stock ROM.

Yup, indeed doing more research before i proceed to flash my SGN, sincerely thank you for all the advise and guidance though.

Rooting is pretty clear to you now I think.
As for flashing ICS ROMs, I don't actually agree with anyone above. I have earlier flashed TeamRocket's ICS ROM, Imilka's AOSP ROM and ICS Stunner on my note. ICS Stunner is actually one of the best you could have for ICS. (Almost everything works, or rather everything actually works ). Now I am using Imilka's CM9 port from SGS2, very very smooth, stable and most of the things work. Download and install instructions are pretty clear in their respective threads. I would actually suggest you to go ahead with ICS ROMs (ICS Stunner or CM9 especially)!
PM me if you need any help!

[Q] need a safe ics

hello i want to ask if theres is a completly safe(without hardbrick ) ics rom out there ?? if yes how i can fully root it ??
i am using cm9 and i want to enjoy the s pen applications and want official ics with a way to root it ..
i appeciate any help

IMHO the only safe ICS is the stock, but the problem is rooting it. The CF root is not safe. The safest thing would be to wait for a kernel that is not risky.

Currently there are no 100% safe ICS roms for NOTE. There have been reports of both XXLPY official ICS and ZSLPF official ICS being effected by a bug in eMMC which gets damaged while users wipe large amount of data. Read the public announcement please http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943. This unfortunately includes CWM wipe data and Factory reset. Just stay on GB for now. I am using ICS my self but i am only staying here cuz i don't want to risk bricking my device going back on GB.

Well pretty much any GB kernel is safe as long as you haven't been effected by this bug. But there is no way to detect that. If you are completely sure that you haven't done any wiping of data or very heavy use of I/O, then you should be good to flash. But i don't want to take that chance because i have no warranty on my phone. That and if a patch comes along i can use it on a bootable phone but NOT on a bricked one. ICS is working pretty smooth btw. I am just not messing with large files and anything that includes wiping of data

Completely safe ICS Roms:
1. CM9
2. Asylum
3. ParanoidAndroid
4. MIUI

Unfortunately you can't port the s pen apps to cm9, but there are substitutes.
I hope Samsung is already working on it

u can go to gb via odin .. it's safe

CF-Root + ICS + Note + Full Wipe = Risk!!!!
If you need to Wipe Make sure you have abyss kernel 4.2 final....
Good Luck!!!

[Q] LPF & LPY Kernels for ICS

I thought I read that installing the LPY Kernel you might risk not being able to reinstall another ROM if you want to change back.
Is the LPF safer, or is there still an issue with it, also? Did I misread that warning about the LPY kernel?
Thanks!

You are able to revert to GB from both those kernels/Roms. However,
they are not safe. There's been reports of superbricks on both those
versions.
The only safe things for now are
1. Gingerbread Roms
2. CM9-based ICS Roms (official Xplod's CM9, Asylum, Paranoid and MIUI).
However, CM9 Roms don't have TW framework and some of the TW apps
are not included.

A question from a Samsung beginner. What does LPY and LPF mean ?
Thank you

[Q] from LPY to LPF ?

hi,
I am on the German ICS (LPY).
As my phone is TPY (hong Kong) and now the ICS for Hong Kong is out and named LPF , I'd like to reflash my phone to LPF, as LPF is considered to be more mature than LPY.
1) should I prefer LPF or stay on LPY?
2) it is a big 900MB file (but only one) should I flash it with Odin on PDA? is a bootloader in it? (downloaded with checkfus from Samsung)
3) does it kill all my settings and home screens? Or is it like an update keeping all my data?
thanks for a quick answer

i'd love, if s.o. had an idea.

I chose LPF over LPY. Basically I would just give you one reason.
I Don't want to live with the risk of bricking every now and then I do something new with my note.
And besides, what you got to lose? TouchWiz features. Oh well, it is far better than working without it in a safe kernel than working on a risky kernel.

Both LPF and LPY are dangerous. I recommend you to go for a CM9 based ROM and Kernel, like the ParanoidAndroid, but do not flash it from recovery over LPY. If you want to flash another ROM and Kernel, downgrade to GB first.

I guess this should be able to clear up things to you now.
Well, I thought LPF is safer as compared to LPY as bricks have been alarmed in the LPY category more.
But Seems like LP 1,5,6,Y,F => Each one carries their own level of emmc brick bug.
All bricks have first had their device rooted (then custom rom, and cwm whatever). In this discussions between whether rooting is the reason for bricking or not.. safer is to stick to stock ROM non rooted. Going from stock GB to stock ICS is 'safer' compared to other techniques around.

thanks guys,
just flashed lpf via odin over my lpy.
Works like a charm no problem and a much better bat life than before.
I am aware that "wipe" is a no go.
so, I am going to simply root my phone without using any other CWM modes or options.

Good! You have one another lucky note which survived the bug ! But ya, touchwiz is good provided you use the features. Else, anytime you are welcome to the AOSP world

Best JB rom + how do you get there from stock ICS?

Hi,
I'm currently on stock ICS (4.0.4).
My phone has recently started occasionally/randomly restarting itself.
I've read that doing a factory reset or data wipe will result in a brick so was thinking of switching to a custom rom.
What's the best Jelly Bean rom? or isn't there a good stable one?
If not then what's the best stable/usable ICS rom and how do I get there from stock?
I know I need to flash GB via pc odin, but what after that?
There are warnings that say "FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK!"
I just wanna be as clear as possible. Would hate to have a brick.
Thanks.

JB roms are still in development and not so stable for daily use yet. For flashing custom ICS you do not have to flash GB rom, just flash safe custom ICS kernel and flash custom rom through cwm recovery.
You can also wipe your current rom after flashing safe custom kernel. No need to flash custom rom just because you cannot wipe on stock kernel

For my personal of view, liquid smooth jb v2.0 beta is the best at the moment.
If you on rooted ics. You can flash jb rom thru safe kernel such as cm9 kernel, gb kernel or notecore kernel.
But please read carefully and understand what noted at op and follow the installation method.
Good luck.

ok I see.
So I need to go from Stock ICS > Safe ICS > Custom ROM
Have you guys got a link to an easy tutorial?
Thanks

Never Never Wipe on ICS as stated in op.
Now everybody knows JB is still under development and in preview. So I think you should have to wait for a stable version to enjoy the juice
For ICS you can try Cleanote v5,Kingdroid or RR for better performance and battery life
Here are the links :-
Cleanote v5 ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088

Here is the best thread for rooting and flashing custom kernel on Note- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Once you are rooted and on safe custom kernel you can follow the instructions on your chosen custom rom OP.

In terms of safer installation method. It have too many of opinions around note forum. Some will say flash any rom or nandroid by using abssy 4.2 kernel, some will say not neccesary to use abssy 4.2 kernel with the secure and safe kernel exists such as notecore and speedmod kernel.
Some will advice you must go back gb before flash cm base rom and some will tell you totally bull**** and not neccesary to go back gb before flash cm base rom with secure tw kernel around.
Confuse? For me, all of them have the right opinion and nothing wrong with them. Thats your own smartphone which cost about usd 500. If you scare of something, just follow the long installation method. If you feel lazy to take do such of long intallation step, you can always use the secure kernel to swap in between gb, tw and cm base rom.
But anyway, is your own asset, your own choice. You are the one who will take full responsibility for doing any modification, rooting and flashing. Not anyone else here.
You can always refer dr.ketan advice.

Thanks everyone.
I will follow all your advice when I'm ready flash the rom. Most likely tomorrow.
I would click the thanks button for you all but I am "limited to 8 thanks per day"
Thanks again.

Simpler if you are on warranty and you can make use of it and off you don't want to flash or to scared to do a flash then wipe if the phone bricks you can send it on ssc for repair on warranty.
