Hey Guys!
I've a question! I know chasmodo and may others said me the way but I've just to be sure
I'am on Alba Rom v2.0. So far so good, but I've just partially root. This means every flash on Mobile Odin or CWM can be deadly for my Note
So now chasmodo said to me that I have to flash a pre-rooted GB (LC1) with PC Odin, but I'm a little bit afraid from the flash the first time Anyway does somebody know a really really safety way to get from The partially rooted rom to pre-rooted GB without bricking the device?
History on stock ICS:
I've wiped already the first time I've flashed LPY but with Stock Recovery. Flash AbyssNote Kernel and Flash Darky.. pardon Uni-ROM went also very fine. Then I saw the AlBa Rom. Wow, I thought and flashed it. Now partially root
Pls give me the safest way you know
Pozdrav

do what chas said ,flash a GB ROM through PC ODIN ,it's the safest method ,just don't flash pit or bootloaders ,and follow DR.Ketan's guide on how to flash with pc odin.
note that a pre rooted ROM will give you a triangle though.
if you want you can flash a full stock ROM and root it later following DR.Ketan's guide ,this way you'll get no triangle.

Pre-rooted Rom will most definitely NOT give you the triangle.

I know this is a very stupid question but I just want to make sure flashing with CWM is viable.
For the leaked stock ics 4.0 rom I know I should use odin to flash, but how about custom 4.0 rom like Romow? Should I use CWM to flash the zip file?
Thx~
ps: I am currently running rocketrom v19 with CWM
use CWM n flash zip

You should read in the post how must it be done, you should start in annual kernel 3.9 then install chainfire.repack and so on

There are no instructions in romow's thread and that's why i am here to ask for any further instructions. I bet flashing a 4.0custom rom is similar to flashing Gingerbread rom. Am i right?
Also, some ppl claimed that I need to first flash the stock leaked 4.0 rom then have my phone rooted with CWM installed and finally flash custom 4.0 rom with CWM. Is that really necessary?

There are better roms now than ROMOW's one i think, try flashing Rocket Rom, or the new AOSP
From the instructions given in [02/24/12][Team Rocket ROM][open beta ICS v4.0.3][v1.5][15Tooglebar] daily ROM now! , it seems I really have to flash the leaked ics rom first before installing the rocketrom 4.0.3 rom, is that true? That means I cannot directly install the ics rocketrom from any gingerbread custom rom?

Yes youre right, there is a problem with root a cwm in ics, and you need to da that
Follow carefully the instructiones if not you wont hace fullroot
PROBLEMS!
Just have to ask it right here as well...I went to romow yesterday for testing reasons (just flashed the zip in cwm) but I have to go back since there are too many bugs imao atm.
Just tried to go back to my CWM Backup....now I´m stucked at the bootanimation!
Do you guys know what could be the reason here? And what I could do to get my nandroid backup working again?

Did you flash 4.0.3 directly from gingerbread rom? BTW I've heard many people say their phones were stuck in the bootscreen(The samsung N7000 with no boot animation) when they tried to go back from ics to gingerbread. Seems this is a common problem....

Yes, I came directly from GB!
If you can load the boot animation that means ur phone is not bricked. You should try to download a stock gingerbread rom from dr ketan's post and flash it by odin pc.

When going back to GB, i kinda 'restart' the whole process by going back to Stock ROM via Odin, and redo the root and CWM.
Else, there are strange quirky issue ex. CWM just hangs while wiping the phone.
Hey Kelvin Fong & J.wong, thank you guys for your support!
Sorry for noobing around from now on...I´m not exactly the newest guy when it comes to these flash-things, but I have to admit that I´m kind of confused now...
I tried to find dr. ketans thread (this one?) but I´m not getting into his post (sorry for that, as I said: I´m confused!):
dr.ketan said:
Now How I can revert back to Stock ROM/Unroot (In case of replacemet may i need)
If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)
Now place this file in zImage folder, n repeat procedure(Initial CFRoot Flasher), which you have done at time of pushing CWM by selecting I am rooted already
Now unroot with above said unrooting tool.

The first thing I´ve made evertime in the past was to read the full-noob tutorials...for some reason, I can´t find something like that for the note!
May I kindly ask you if you know a thread were these things (and perhaps the results after going back to stock) are explained from scratch again? Just want to understand what I have to do and how, it´s getting harder to find some information that are not based on years of flash-training

Should be this one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997).
Firstly, download one of the roms from [Older ROMs (Directly Rootable)].
Secondly, follow the [Installation Guide For Older ROM ], the one using odin pc.
You may see below another flashing method using mobile odin, but that doesn't suit you since that one requires your phone rooted before and will keep your root after flashing. The one with odin pc will wipe out all your data and apps(of course not your SD card) and also unroot your phone. That means your CWM and root will all be gone and you have to follow another post to root it again(now this one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360)
this one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997)teaches you how to flash a rootable gingerbread rom, but not rooted. This one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360)shows you how to root your phone and install CWM. I think these two posts are the best tutorials you are looking for.
I think you should download this >>http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=907734&d=1329574136
This one is better organized.
Thanks mate! Saved it to my desktop...but finally i was able to manage the problem by simply flashing a *fresh* RocketRom again (?!). I thought it would be worth a try...
Anyway: Thank you very much for your support, it´s good to still meet that friendly kind of people with patience here on the board (it´s getting less these days) hope i´ll be able to return the favor in future
You are welcome! Please note your binary counter may increase if you flash a rooted rom like rocketrom you've mentioned above directly via odin.

As far as I remember I made my very first steps with odin after I reveived my note (root, cwm)...rocket has been flashed by using cwm. But yes, my binary counter increased definitely...
...I do have a USB Jig, but in some was I am kind of afraid of going trough this! To fumble around in pure darkness...hmmm i don´t know
Have you tried it yourself?
Actually I've got a yellow triangle together with increased binary counter as I followed another tutorial guide(I should follow dr ketan's guide before).
I think removing the counter with a jig is way too dangerous for me so I don't want to risk it. Simply remove the counter only when you really need to bring your phone to samsung because maybe you don't even have to claim the warranty at all.
Anyone got a easy step by step guide to go from ICS Stunner to the GERMAN STOCK OFFICIAL that is floating around in the forums???
Do i have to go back to gingerbread and then do upgrade or is there a easier process to go from stunner to stock Germany?
Thanks in advance i am sure there are others that are thinking this same thing as the ICS STunner was the popular rom with ICS

Just use good old mobile odin and flash the rom, make sure you use the wipe settings to
i was also on ics stunner 1.4.26.1 i just downloaded the stock rom copied the tar.md5 file and flashed it through mobile odin pro, these steps worked for me, but however there is a problem with my samsung keyboard whatever keys i type it only shows null null ... changed it to swype keyboard there is no problem with swype but however there is a problem with samsung keyboard in this build
so basically install mobile ODIN, Put the tar.md5 file on sd card, point mobile odin to the md5 file and use wipe settings and thats it?
sounds easy downloading the file now hope it works if i am wrong in this procedure or if anyone can add extra things i should do before i flash let me know thank you!!!
Do not use mobile odin to flash from a rom that uses the leaked kernel repack;
Use PC odin.
You risk permanently bricking your note.

Can you kindly give me a step by step then if possible? some say use mobile some say dont? what is best way to flash [email protected]!!!
You can use Mobile Odin but it's not recommended if you're on a leaked ROM/kernel. Use PC Odin and flash it from there.
Just follow the short "guide" here.

Flash the ICS ROM that is already prerooted form this thread, it's stock ICS with only root.. Flash it with PC Odin and you're good to go..
Ok guys here goes.
I downloaded one of the stock ICS roms. For Premium Suite make sure its bigger than 600MB. There is various sources.
I flashed using PC Odin (V1.85) then did a full wipe after flashing. Its all running buttery smooth now. Enjoy!
(First boot will take a while. Just wait it out. Any longer then 15 mins, get worried!)

Note : If you have i9220 bootloader, dont use pc odin, mobile odin will work. There is no way to remove bootloader till now .Chaifire have brick his device due to this. AFAIK i9220 repack LP5 only have this bootloader

WRONG
I am talking about kernels, not bootloaders.
If you use mobile odin, it will use the bugged kernel to flash the mobile odin kernel, therefore risking bricking your phone.
The risk is a lot smaller then using CWM recovery to flash a rom, but it is still there.
I do not know which extra steps to take if you have a different bootloader.

Do not confuse people with incorrect information.
Only those who somehow managed to flash Chainfire's original LP5 repack have said
bootloaders.
Since that flashing procedure is so complicated, I doubt there's more than 1-2
users who managed to do that.
And don't use red fonts to post panicky and false warnings.
so dumb question i have the international version of note in USA - can I use the german rom or ??
for gods sake this panic had its toll like never before on th GNote
now please devs and people I have simple question
- If I am on a NON Rooted GB rom, can I flash stock LPY through PC odin will that be safe
I will not use cf-root kernel, as I don't care about rooting the LPY rom
My question is LPY rom official safe to flash with PC odin coming from non rooted GB rom
I'm pretty sure LPY is safe as long as you don't use CF-Root or that kernel. 100% stock is absolutely fine. The recovery doesn't play with the kernel very nicely.
yeah should be fine , please report how you get on I'm sure theres others in the same boat !
I dont & I do understand this panicing about CF-root or kernel. But If one out of 1000 bricks their phone its not really an issue.. After all i dont think chefs would let us download (really) dangerous kernels.
So id said its safe to flash LPY.. Now 100% sure about CF but havent heard many complaints when used with LPY so.... Make you own decisions..
And some who have bricked their phones before offical ics and with offical ics they have made some mistakes when flashing so you cant blame kernel or os if you dont follow instructions. Or your PC gets BSOD when flashing or power failure etc..
And sorry my bad english,.....

I flashed LPY (fully stock)while being on unrooted 2.3.6 through pc odin. Then I rooted it by using the universal root method. Wiped cache and factory reset. Everything is working nicely for me

Thank you so much.

Download dr.ketan guide and follow this to get back to gb and root. I did the same without any problem. Then you can you odin mobile to update stock ics with everoot and wipeall for safest possible experience with ics.

Hi,
well ICS has finally landed in my corner of the globe.
Unfortunately, the Samsung idiots have decided to roll it out even if it still bricks phones, sometimes even at startup...
So, my phone hasn't yet heard Samsung's call for an upgrade and I'd prefer not to do anything stupid.
Formerly, I was on a GB rooted rom that I updated to the last GB (unroot, then update via KIES).
The fact is, I want to know if there is any possibility for me to flash to an ICS rom directly ?
So far I understood that I can possibly make it even with an unrootable GB thanks to Odin. But I'd prefer not to mess up with my precious...
Thanks in advance for you help.
You have to go back to a rooted GB...i prefer KL3 and only then flash the custom ICS roms..its the safest method...you can know more in the videos. ..links are in ky sig.
Yes you can flash directly with odin
Here is thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
You may find installation and rooting guide link at starting of ICS listing.
Just to add, if you want best performance then take backup(there is limited scope on non rooted) and wipe cache and wipe data from recovery before flashing ICS.
Edit : oh sorry just i read header you need custom ics, i wrote above is for stock ics.
Thanks a lot for your quick answers!
Actually I wanted to switch directly to RocketRom, but it seems that I need first to have a stock rooted phone. :/
So if I get it well:
If unrootable GB ROM:
1/ Flash to stock ICS using Odin
2/ Flash safe custom kernel such as speedmod
My question there is, can I do both at once using Odin?
1/ Flash to stock ICS using Odin
(Still with the french one? It's deemed as being unsafe, any particular recommendation?)
2/ Root the phone with the third post on dr.ketan's amazing thread :laugh:
3/ Flash to safe custom kernel such as speedmod using CWM
Right?
So if I understand well, the issue is because of the "erase rom" method present on ICS stock kernel is not supported properly by the faulty emmcs ?
So unless on a "safe" kernel: No wipe/full wipe/reset. right?
Sorry for my messy post...
