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?
hey ppl...
again a noob q!!
things tat i wan to do ( i am on stock ics rom ,rooted tho)
1)flash speed Mod Kernel via CWM
2)Install Criskelo ROM...
3)Do a full wipe
will this brick my fone????
thanx.....
The safest way is to flash abyss then do full wipes.then install.criselko and after that go with speedmod.

i mo thing...can i install cm9 the same way?? :?
I am new to andriod
currently my N7000 is on GB, rooted and using GB Rocket Rom V23 for LC1 with Speedmod.
Am thinking of flashing to Rocket Rom ICS V7 or Criskelo's V8 ICS Rom.
How should I go about doing it safely?
Read a few threads that has the similiar steps stated above
1) flash abyss kernel
2) boot into recovery and do full wipes
3) flash criselko
4) flash speedmod (if want to)
Is that enough to flash from a GB Rocket Rom to ICS rocket or Criskelo Rom?
Or do I need to flash to a stock ICS rom 1st? If so, how should I go about doing that?
Appreciate your help. Thank you.
Here I have some doubts too and hope someone can clear the sky for me..
here the questions :
i have galaxy note just upgraded to ics from samsung. now running ics v4.0,3. already rooted. i would love to have criskelo v8 and would like to go over the steps to ensure it wont brick my note :
1. Copy AbyssNotekernel42CW final TouchOriginalLogo to sd card
2. Copy criskelo ics rom v8 to sd card
3. Reboot to recovery
4. Flash Abyss Kernel
5. Reboot to recovery (does it have an option in cwm to just reboot to recovery?)
6. Wipe data / cache / dalvik
7. Flash Criskelo ROM
8. Reboot
9. finish
i need clarification on step 5 as i dont quite understand the statement.
thank you.

yes, there is such an option in cwm. you'll need to go to advance then select the first option - reboot recovery. rest of your steps are right.. :good:
What about from a Rocket GB V23 Rom to a Rocket Rom ICS V7 or Criskelo's V8 ICS Rom?

I would rather suggest you go first flashing a pre rooted GB rom via PC odin and then think about custom ICS roms.
Hi,
im not pretty sure how to flash safely from my ICS to JB (CM10).
Im on RocketROM ICS XXLPY v3 with the Notecore Kernel.
In the developer threads there is mentioned that you have to upgrade from
CM9 or something like that.
I just want to get sure, before bricking my note .
Hope somebody can explain to me which methods are safe and which not.
Thanks !

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627854
First i get CM9 - 07-31-2012. rom PA 0.5 (Abyss kernel 4.2).
When im on CM9 i do this:
- Download the zip (CM10)
- Download Gapps
- Install the update zip from recovery (internal)

Safe methods:
- Flashing from GB kernel ( for CM9 )
- Flashing from custom / non-stock ICS kernel that had the format command removed
- Flashing from CM9 / CM10 kernels
Brick methods:
- Flashing from anything ICS that came from Samsung
Simply follow the instructions in the thread and you'll be fine.
Check if Notecore kernel is "safe". If it is, you're ready to go. If it's not, you need to flash safe kernel first, and then go for CM10.
If you're afraid or anything, you can always go the long way: stock GB via PC Odin > root > CM9 > CM10, although we should really stop using this method now because devs put a lot of work so that we won't have to do it like that.
Okay.
My way, i would try it:
1. Flash AbyssKernel 4.2 over my ICS RocketROM ICS XXLPY v3.
2. Reboot the recovery
3. Flash CM9 and GApps
4. Factory Reset/Data Wipe
5. Reboot
6. Reboot in Recovery
7. Flash CM10 and GApps
8. Factory Reset/Data Wipe
9. Reboot
The only part, which makes me unsure is "Flashing from anything ICS that came from Samsung". You mean the kernel or could RocketROM brick my note cause its from a samsung firmware ? Even if i flash Abyss before ?
Sorry for asking again, but the Note is a expensive device and I dont want to go back to my Lumia 900
Thank you !
This is my metod. All working good on my N7000
My method:
-Flash CM9 kernel with PC Odin
-Boot into CWM and flash CM10+gapps
-wipe/factory reset and wipe dalvik
done
Hello.
I got a dutch Galaxy Note, with Speedmodkernel, android version 4.0.3 build nr im74k. Xxlpy Now my question is, how do i flash a custom rom, and what rom do you guys recommend? I heard jellybean is a nice rom? I really want to get the best experience out of my Galaxy Note. Sorry if im not being very clear, im quite new to this
Please note: im a noob.i followed a video on how to install CWM and the speedmod kernel and everything turned out fine.

First, make sure that the kernel version you are using is safe. Speedmod is safe but just in case make sure that it is checking it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397
the election of the custom rom is strictly personal. I am running cleaNote V6 wich is almost stock with hydracore kernel and no bloatware. So just look for some you like and just try it out but always make sure that you are running a safe kernel in ICS before doing a wipe or nandroid backup.
To flash the rom just follow the instructions in the custom thread. Usual steps are:
Download rom file and put it in the external sdcard
Reboot the phone in CWM recovery (Power + home + volume up)
full wipe (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition and I usually do a format system under mount and storage)
Install from sdcard
choose zip from sdcard
once it is done reboot.
But again, read the rom thread instructions and always make sure that you are running a safe kernel in ICS. Enjoy.

Before I begin, yes... I did search and look through a few threads with similar titles but did not find my problem.
I am not a phone geek and I am new to all this, but I rooted my Note along with a "Franco kernel", which worked successfully. My phone booted up as it was before (in fact I noticed absolutely no difference in my phone, whatsoever).
The problems begun when I tried to install an "Abyss" kernel via CWM, which apparently installed successfully, but the phone would never get past boot-up (not so successful after all, huh?). I realized that it wasn't going to work, so I though no problem, and went back into CWM and re-installed the Franco kernel that I was using before (which worked). Strangely, this kernel, too, would now no longer boot.
I successfully restored the phone with a GB rom via odin (teriible rom), and proceeded to install the so-called "Hydracore" kernel (love the names) via cwm.... this kernel made things even worse. Once again the installation was supposedly "successful", but the phone doesn't go past boot. This time, it gets stuck on a very dim black screen, which isn't actually black, it is a dark creamy/pink hue that you can only notice in absolute darkness. (WTF?) This screen has random black blotches on it, but again, if you are in a lit up room the screen looks completely black and you cannot tell that it is actually lit. When I say that this kernel made the problems even worse, I say that because when this happens (dim black screen), I cannot even enter CWM recovery at all to try and install a different kernel. From here, I can only access download mode, and have no choice but to restore the phone with the GB rom via odin. I did so, and proceeded to install the latest version of "Hydracore" (v5.4) posted right here on XDA by the member 'chasmodo.' This time, I did the installation of the kernel via odin, which, once again, was supposedly successful... and once again a lie, as the phone just goes into the same black screen, with no option other than download mode.
The sole reason I have wasted hours of my life researching and understanding mobile phone terminology in the past few days is so that I can have jellybean on my Note. It seems that I am unable to do this because the Kernels are not working on my device. I have a very powerful and capable phone, which is currently stuck on this GB rom (which I think has to be the most terrible piece of coding ever made) so any help on this would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
can you try go back to stock GB rom.. then upgrade to ICS and root using Dr Ketans method and then install Hydracore
You flashed Hydracore on GB rom? that's the main reason behind your problem, this Kernel is not for GB. Now either flash custom GB kernel or flash stock GB firmware using pc odin and then root it. Check post # 2 in this thread for rooting. (I guess you know how to do this )
Once you have root and cwm recovery, you can flash any custom rom you want.

Hi there, sorry to hear of your challenges.
One thing to remember before flashing is the nature of safe / unsafe kernels. Equally as important is compatible / non compatible kernels. It's not clear from your post but did you flash Abyss on an ICS ROM? If so, Abyss is a GB kernel. It will install but the ROM wont run due to lack of compatibility.
Abyss is used by many as a Safe kernel, a base to flash a new ROM from . Alternatively, it can be used to "downgrade" to Gingerbread ROMs.
If you are intent on trying a JB ROM, I would suggest a doing a full wipe (use the numerous guides on XDA) and a kernel clean (jBroid Script Cleaner for example). Now, research Chasmodo's excellent Kernel Repository and choose a kernel. Hydracore 4.3 Standard is a good "benchmark" however you could try the Official CM10 kernel from Entropy. Reboot to Recovery and flash your JB ROM of choice.
You will now have "Full Wiped" (including Script Clean), installed a Safe (Compatible) Kernel and flashed a compatible ROM.
For what its worth, I found GB to be an excellent ROM, particularly 2.3.6 and 2.3.7. CheckROM was one of my favorite ROMs on the S2 and they didnt even feel the need (till recently) to make an ICS version.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Yes, I forgot to mention that when I rooted it I was running official 4.0.3 which I got OTA. After I rooted I tried the Abyss kernel. I had read that if you try and install CM10 straight from ICS you can brick, and that you had to downgrade to GB to do this. There must have been a misunderstanding on my part as I though that installing Abyss would downgrade me to GB.
What I don't understand is that I have now installed a GB rom, yet the Abyss gb kernel still does not work.
The two members that posted mentioned that I should root, though I did mention in the OP that it is already rooted... Am I missing something?
Anyway, I want to avoid having to download any more big files. I already have the latest "nightly" build of CM10 in my SD card. Is there any GB kernel that I can install from where I am now that would make it safe to install the CM10 zip?

If I were on a GB ROM and wanted to run CM10 I would Full Wipe (including Cache and Dalvik) then do the following -
Flash Official CM10 kernel.
Reboot to Recovery (do not go straight to ROM flash)
Once back in Recovery, flash the CM10 ROM.
Reboot device.

So the official CM10 kernel is a gb kernel? Because remember that is what I'm currently on.
And just to make sure I got you... wipe everything, install kernel (I don't understand what you mean by "go straight to rom flash"), but then not "reboot system", instead "reboot to recovery", then install CM10 rom?
Also, when you say a "full wipe" do you mean that it will erase everything like a factory reset and delete all my apps and everything else? And is there anyway to install CM10 without doing this or is that the only way?
Cm10 kernel is a jelly bean kernel, so gb rom will not run under it.
Full wipe does mean erasing everything. Coming from gb, there is no other way to install, you need a full wipe, remember, you're updating two full revisions of the os, so it's not surprising a full wipe is needed. If you're worried about your apps, root gb before upgrading and use titanium backup to backup you're apps and then restore them when on cm10.

If you are on rooted GB Rom and want to flash a custom JB or ICS one, this is what you do:
1. drop into recovery
2. do a full wife™ (factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik)
3. flash your JB/ICS Rom
4. reboob
Nothing else is needed, no intermediate steps like flashing another kernel in between, and especially no running Jbroid or Sybr kernel cleaning script.

Nothing else is needed, no intermediate steps like flashing another kernel in between, and especially no running Jbroid or Sybr kernel cleaning script.

You telling me that I can safely go straight to JB from my current GB rom and kernel?
I already have a "nightly" JB rom on my SD card, so just to be clear, all I do is go into CWM recovery, do a "full" wipe (how do I do that by the way?) and install the JB rom from zip?
Yes, you can go ahead. Just follow the instructions kindly provided by chasmodo.
But please, do not forget to flash GApps after you flashed the JB "nightly ROM which is on your SD Card". Otherwise you won't have Google account, play store etc yada yada.
Full wipe (aka full-wife™) means wipe data/factory reset. Nothing else.

Great! I am downloading the GApps for JB now. How do I install them? I understand that this is also done through CWM recovery, but how do I instal them? do I install the JB rom and reboot to recovery and then just install GApps from zip before rebooting system?
Also, does the full wipe have to be done in CWM recovery, or can I just do the normal wipe on the phone menu before entering recovery?
You flash the ROM by pointing the recovery to the "ROM.zip", the same is valid for "GApps.zip".
So you do the following, no reboot in recovery in between those 2 steps!
Install zip (from where it is located, internal/external SD )
*ROM.zip
*Gapps.zip
*reboot system
Wipe data/factory reset is done (most of the times) in recovery. Just get used to it. Saves you some bad habits on doing it on stock ICS ...

OK install ROM and then install GApps straight away, got it.
Just about the wipe, is it a simple one button wipe that wipes everything, or are there several things that I have to wipe independently? This is the part I'm not too sure about.
Just go into recovery and have a look. I mean, a really close look! Your topic was "need help to install a kernel" not "I don't know how to use recovery and please can someone come over to my place in order to explain me CWM recovery".
Sorry. Everything has been explained. Can't (or rather dont want to) help you further than what has been already mentioned. Period.

That's fine. I'll go into recovery and have a look. Thanks for the help that you did give anyway.
It worked! I have been messing around with my new Note on Jellybean and looking through all the settings. It doesn't have project butter (or at least the project wasn't very successful), but still miles ahead of Touchwiz.
Just want to extend a big thanks to everyone that has helped me out. Much appreciated.
