[Q] Note Root problems (After yellow triangle)

My note is 2.3.6 , N7000LA2, now kernel is XXKKA,
I am not an expert, so I rooted in a wrong way then causing yellow triangle, But i removed the triangle finally
Actually I want to flash andriod 4.0 / other ICS theme rom, what procedure I should do now??
1. Is my note not a correct kernel now??
(I feel that the battery consumed faster than before, & not as smooth as than before getting yellow triangle)
2. Can I use a regular way (using odin to root back the right kernel & flash rom)?
3. my cwm mgr is not working correctly, how should i do??
Please advise ..
Many Many many thanks!

Do you have root working now?
If yes, update CWM, you can get proper kernel from my thread 'How to Root'(c signature for link)
after that you can update to any ROM with CWM

Thank you so much!
My colleague's fd finally helped me flash a new kernel ([email protected]#3)
But I have some questions
1) which version is this kernel??
2) can i keep this kernel , then flash another 4.0 rom??
3) if i dont want to use odin (pc version) to flash, can i use mobile odin or cwm to flash?
what exact procedure i have to do?
please advise..
thanks !!!

this is abyssnote kernel, universal
you can use CWM to update 4.0 ROM, put file on SD card n boot in recovery.
select flash zip file, point to ROM file, confirm it by saying ye, done.
if get bootloop, wipe cache, wipe data (it will wipe off data so take backup b4 proceeding)

dr.ketan , really thanks for your prompt reply
but I am now in another bad situation..
I flashed something wrong & the note keep rebooting, & then now cannot get in the system , just stop at the N7000 welcome page,
But i can go to CWM recovery

get into recovery, wipe cache, wipe delvic cache
still not works wipe data (you will lose data) This is routine for 4.0 based ROM
And wat u mean by 'something wrong', you are not sure it was custom ROM file?
If nothing works then go to download mode n flash older Stock ROM with PC odin

Thanks dr.ketan!
But it is not 4.0 based rom yet, just a 2.3.6, official rom (before "broke" )
So, should i still follow your method to do??
or should i get into recovery, try to flash the stock rom N7000OZSLA2 ?
I think i flashed the wrong version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415567

Now I find I cant flash any rom by CWM....
"installation aborted"

Have u wipe data ? If not do it first thn flash stock rom using pc odin

I really didnt wipe data, but finally flash stock rom by pc odin

I flash hk version LA2, but cant root
& then flash KJ1 Factoryfs, got the CWM
lastly I flash the abyssnote kernel
so is my SGN now contains a KJ1 rom?
can i flash back to LA2 without losing the root?
or is there any big differences between KJ1 & LA2??
& one more, I want to add the battery %, where can i find/search the suitable one for my SGN

Now you can flash to la2 with CWM n keep cf-root when ask
Or use mobile odin n enable everroot option in mobile odin n flash

Thank you so much ketan!
I got LA2 n keep the cf-root now!
One thing I want to ask :
Is any roms to flash can follow the below procedure?
or which situations cannot follow this procedure:
Thanks.
2. CWM recovery (you need Root + CWM on existing ROM. Get )
Download the ROM. Extract it.
Create folder /sdcard/external_sd/firmware (thats folder "firmware" (lowercase) on your external SD card) (see image)

This is for Stock ROM only
If you want to flash custom rom, u have to select flash zip option, not 'flash stock firmware' option

Going back to GB from the German XXLPY ICS

Hi everyone
I am new to Android. I upgraded my galaxy note GT N7000 to the official ICS German version. everything went smooth but then the battery consumption was terrible. I tried Franco kernel #3 and it didn't help so i restored the other kernel using CWM. everything is fine now but i heard about the risk of phone brick. I want to go back to GB but all the methods i reviewed involve wiping data which is the risky step that might hard brick the phone. Any suggestions? ?
Thank you and forgive my humble English

afaik there is no way to downgrade (officially) without wiping everything :/

flash via cwm the abyss kernel, reboot in recovery through this kernel
Wipe & reflash from abyss a GB rom

I did a CMW backup before flashed to German ICS. After that find out that the ori ics is not really fast and stable, so I restore back to GB through CMW..

probably I will try that. I was decided to keep the ICS till a solution for the brick comes up but this afternoon the phone screen started to go blank and display like old tv so it seems I have to go back to GB.
Another question please : Is there a risk that the phone will "auto-brick" by itself if I just keep the current ICS without making any changes or the brick happens only while installing or changing something??

[Q] From GB LC1... to ICS LQ3 ?

Hi guys,
I have my Galaxy note since 4 months now I and think it's time to update it to ICS and why not to a custom rom like Criskelo (before my Note I had the GS II and I was really happy of the Criskelo Rom I installed on it).
So here I am, looking for informations about how to proceed to upgrade my phone..
I read a lot of post, it seems that few ROMs are really dangerous and can block the phone, and it seems that the LC1 is unrootable so I would have to downgrade it first ?
So can someone who know explain me how to proceed ? which steps should I follow?
I read that to go to ICS LQ8 from GB, I should first
"Install ics repack by chainfire via mobile odin-reboot-reboot into revovery-full wipe-install criskelo ics "
But there is a topic "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943" which say "do not install any ics repack"...
So I'm totally lost !
I hope someone can help me, as I said, my goal is to go from GB LC1 to ICS Criskelo7 LQ3!
Thank you in advance

Hi!
To get root from lc1, you can just use a french tutorial here:
http://www.galaxynote.fr/rooter-facilement-son-telephone-t3714.html
Can't be more simple!
From there I didn't get to know how to install a stable ics rom.
Just let me know if you find a simple and safe way to install a good rom.

You can follow the procedure suggested by xda developers:
When on any rooted GB Rom:
1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card
Also download the ICS Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.
2. reboot to CWMR and do a backup of your current system
3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery
4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
6. you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery
7. factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
9. flash the ICS Rom of your choice
10. reboot and let the Rom settle for a couple of minutes

Hi Guys,
Thank you very much for your fast answers !
Tonight is the big night, I will upgrade my device !
@jabab : I will follow thistutorial to root my Note
@tknguyencsu : Ok then when my GB LC1 will be rooted, I just need to follow you instructions !
Can you explain me why is AbyssNote needed ? No risk to do a factory reset on my GB LC1 stock rom ? Do you agree that all this means I go directly from my GB LC1 to a ICS LQ3 without any middle step with a lower ICS version ?
Sorry for all this newb question..

Thanks for this !! But I have just got my Note and its LC1 - Can I just flash the zImage I got from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 Or do i need to do the whole downgrade procedure ?

Hi again !
Thank you very much guys, It's done for me ! I'm on Criskelo LQ3 and everything was fine !
@azzledazzle: As I understood on different post, the stock GB LC1 rom is not rootable, so you will at first need to flash an other kernel in your device.
Few options then, as tknguyencsu advice, you can install "AbyssNote 4.2 kernel", or a "Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000XXLC1_FRANCE" which I did (few posts will give you a link to the one you want).
You flash then your device with it (non-wipe) and then you will be able to root in an easy way.
When your device is rooted, do a backup, and then go for a full wipe (I think it's more than needed to go from GB to ICS).
Then > install your ROM
For perfectly for me !
Thank you for your help guys
(ps: do I need to do a batterie stats reset ? if yes should I do it when the device is fully charged ?)

Hey man, Did the above steps but ran into a few issues, To save me double posting heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27716441&postcount=78
Im back on ICS now, with CF kernel... Dont know what step(s) to take next

And what about the triangle after flashing with Abyss?

Yeah I have that too, But im not using abyss any more, Im using CF kernel, and i still have it.
Not so keen on CF kernel, I heard someone got the hardbrick with it. Am i to use the CWM app for all flashing now ? Cause when i booted into recovery and flashed abyss it wouldnt boot.

From what i as able to understand - if we do this:
"4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery"
in other words - if we do not boot with Abyss we won't get the yellow triangle.
Is this correct?

flashing back to GB then ICS("partial"/full root problem)

Hi,
i came from CheckROM GB to ICS ROM.Initially tried both Criskelo's and Kingdroid and got stuck in nandroid backups and install zip into system.Hangs.Found out that the problem is partial root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828538.
Tried to reflash ROM with CF kernel,install SuperSU,superuser all failed
So right now i am going back to GB first to install ICS ROM then custom ICS ROM to get full root.
I looked at dr. ketan's thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 and downloaded the pre-rooted ROM SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip. I would like to claify something before i proceed.
-Currently on Kindroid + CF root kernel.I can just go ahead and start flashing the pre-rooted GB ROM right?safe?
-So after installation,"Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery"-Wipe everything from recovery meaning factory reset?
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)-any ICS ROM?

1-As such there is no issue to flash any GB ROM on Any stock/custom ROM. yes it is safe.
2- yes it will be factory reset, when you wipe data.
3-This step is righ if you want to use Mobile Odin Pro for stock ICS (for custom ROM you need to use CWM, not mobile odin)

Thanks for quick reply.
As by searching i am going to follow this step by step guide>http://www.geekyandroid.com/2012/05/how-to-downgrade-ics-on-samsung-galaxy.html (Have to turn OFF USB debugging?)
Does this pre-rooted ROM come with CWM?Once i factory reset it,does it retain root?

Yes said prerooted ROM having CWM
And hard reset doesn't erase root/CWM
Humble request, stick to XDA. Difficult to give opinion on all guides around planet.

Ha,OK..just randomly searching ard on google for downgrade steps.
Do u have a step by step guide on the GB downgrade part,the one i saw on yr sig is after flashing back to ICS.thanks for yr help!

Post #2 of first link on my signature have guide how to Install rootable GB ROM, here same way you can flash prerooted GB ROM.

OK just successfully flashed back to GB..Thanks!
sorry can i ask i can download any ics ROM?is there any recommendation?
For kernel selection,is it safe not to select CF root?will be get the partial root problem again?

You can have any stock ics
Use notecore kernel.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Ok.thanks.So thankful for yr patience and help!
In summary
I downloaded ICS stock ROM + NoteCore Kernel,open Mobile Odin,Flash them.So I would have Rooted ICS with custom kernel
then if i would like custom ICS ROM,i flash in CWM after install stock ROM:
-Need full wipe?
-is abyss kernel essential for flashing?
-OK to flash kernels other than CF root for custom ROM,root will stay intact?

[Q] JB to GB downgrade failure?

So, this is what happened. I first upgraded to the latest official JB 4.1.2 XXLSA firmware. I noticed that it still wasn't as fast as I'd like, and wanted to try a custom ROM instead. I read through the guides in here and get that I have to downgrade to a GB ROM first in order for me not to hardbrick my phone. So, I download "N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries" from that list over stock ROM's in the Q&A root guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 . I follow the flashing guide to the letter, puts my phone in download mode, runs the flash via Odin, the phone restarts, and everything goes south. Basically this happens: When I start my phone it get's to the point in the GB initial startup where I'm to touch the Android to start, but then all it does is throw messages at me about this service and that service having stopped responding, untill the phone reboots. So now I have reflashed back to the JB ROM.
So basically, what am I doing wrong, and what can I do to make a proper downgrade so I can get rooted, install CWM and get down and get it on with some custom ROM's?
Thx in advance!

Same happened with me. I flashed GB and was getting force close messages. But not a big problem. Just flash GB rom again. And after flashing just delete all user data from recovery and reboot. U wont get those messages any more.

You always need to WIPE data / factory reset after downgrading from JB .. GB is safe to go ahead.. if you choose ICS then first flash a safe kernel and then do wipe

It seems to me that KK5 is non wipe, which explains why you got those messages. The rest is detailed in nokiamodeln91's message BTW, JB is still not official for our Notes. What you installed was a leak with a safe kernel (if it was Philz).

Exactly.

I had this issue too when downgrading to GB. Wipe Cache and Dalvik and you should be ok from then on.

Wow. A lot of replies in just a single day. You guys are awesome
Now you say that the KK5 is non-wipe. Are there any GB-roms which are wipe, so to speak? Or do I have to do the flash to GB, enter recovery, wipe cache partition and do wipe/factory reset, then reboot into a now working phone, set up for root with USB and so forth, root and install CWM, copy the custom ROM to my SD-card (gonna go for ParanoidAndroid) as well as Google services if I want those, and then install them via CWM/Mobile Odin?

GB LC1 is wipe. But if you want PA (which is an excellent choice) just flash a CM10 kernel in your recovery (if your recovery is safe, like GB for example). Then follow Utacka's instructions for the installation.

But if I want CWM I should do root and install CWM there? And then flash the custom ROM from CWM?

The CM10 kernel comes with its own recovery where you can flash from. If you have root issues, just flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip. In any case don't flash from stock ICS with CMW.zip: if you are on ICS and not rooted flash the relevant Philz kernel (which is safe and will give you root and CWM) then the CM10 kernel.
Edit: what ROM do you have now?

I use the 4.1.2 XXLSA ROM
Btw, anyone knows where I can download the Google Services Framework so I can install it alongside Paranoid Android? I have been led to believe it's not included as per default
Thx for all the replies!!

If you have downloaded the xxlsa rom then it's inside the rom zip file. Path system/app/GoogleServicesFramework
