So today my little bro asked me to root his Note and flash CM9 on it, but I came to a halt when I found out his current firmware with which the phone was delivered is on the "not directly rootable" list, which I take it can only be rooted by flashing an older firmware?
The kernel seems to be the N7000XXLC1 while the phone is N7000XXLB2. It came delivered with a Telia (Swedish carrier) ROM.
Is there some other way to root this phone other than switching to an older firmware? Some exploit or something? I'd hate to accidentally brick his phone considering it's but a few days old. The way of helping him would be:
1. Install CWM
2. Root and/or install custom ROM
Does the N7000 have some sort of bootloader to unlock, or a fastboot mode? Is it easy to accidentally brick it? I mean a deeper brick than just a system brick? You'd have eternal gratitude if you could pinpoint me to an easy way of doing this or if you could compose an easy guide. Duly note I have checked the two guides here but the first one is a root option for ICS firmwares and the other one involves flashing an older firmware with ODIN, one thing I don't actually wanna do, just yet.
I myself use a Galaxy Nexus so things work out completely different on the two with the Nexus being more of a developer's phone. My bro hates Gingerbread by now and the lame Touchwiz UI.
Go to development subforum and read dr ketans guide.
The safest is to revert back to older roms and root if you need it. Avoid cwm in ICS if you can.
Read, read, and read some more.

I just want to get him CM9 in the easiest way possible. Why do you say I should avoid cwm in ICS?
There are many issues with bricking in ics kernels by doing factory restores or large data transfers.
To the best of my knowledge though, cm9 kernels are safe, as well as paranoid Android and a couple of others. There's a great thread about the dangers of ics somewhere.

Well his phone is currently running gingerbread and it looks like I'm gonna have to flash back to a rootable firmware. I managed to find a very easy to-do guide in my own language so now I think I'll manage it.
I'll install CM9 on his Note since I know he likes CM9 and the Cyanogenmod team is highly reliable. I'm not saying the other aren't, I'm merely saying that the ROMs by CM have always worked in some way.

I've currently got Rogers stock 2.2 Froyo running on my i896. I rooted it and replaced the 3e recovery with the modified recovery so I can run CWM Recovery on it. I also unlocked the phone by modifying the nv_data.bin file.
Now I want to upgrade to ICSSGS. A few questions:
1) Should I first upgrade using Kies to Rogers 2.3.3? What ill effects, if any, will that have to my 3e recovery, my nv_data.bin unlock, and the root?
2) What system files should be backed up before upgrading to ICS custom ROM? EFS files, etc?
3) Is it possible to go straight from Froyo to ICS? The ICSSGS installation instructions mention requiring Gingerbread.
Thanks in advance
Don't bother with kies.
No need to go to gingerbread first, and going to stock gingerbread will undo you're 3e replacement and root.
just flash ics from froyo.
It's always recommended to have multiple backups of your /efs folder in several locations.
I've read that people have a lot better results if they go to cm7 first, then go upgrade to ics. Since almost everything is based on team hacksung.(Cm9 I would go to that ics first.

Why would that be though? Any logical explanation to that theory?
Well my guess is that because cyanogen has done cm7 so well and stable. most ics builds are based on their work with cm9. It's kind of just a natural progression.
I've also read some dev's suggest doing it this way.
Also I did it this way and have had almost none of the problems that other people have.
I've never had a sleep, or charge death. Never had the data data bug. Never had the data signal bar always full bug.

actually it used to be part of the instructions to flash CM7 first.
CM7 CM9 and ICS use a different partitioning table and call partitions by different names, CM7 used to be the only one, and has a conversion script.
now most of the more popular ICS base roms include the conversion script.
read the instructions for each ICS you look at.
some have no requirements but CWM, some require flashing CM7 or any other ICS rom first.
coming from pure stock froyo you want to flash a CWM3 kernel with odin, then reboot to recovery and flash the ICS rom off your sdcard.
read the how to flash captivate roms sticky, also found in my signature.
It seems like a question which may be answered somewhere, but while trying to research and find my way out of a bricked phone, I realized there are solutions that exist within this forum, but are not widely viewable and it helps to ask again.
I know the most popular way to root a GB ROM is to rollback to an older version and then root it. But I have bricked my phone once due to ICS and would really like to retain the stock GB configuration with my new phone. So, is there a way I can root my phone while keeping the same stock GB ROM that came installed on the phone and the modem?
Please do not suggest how easy it is to root by rolling back or installing a deodexed pre-rooted ROM - I have done that with my old phone and I know how easy it all is. I just want to retain my stock GB confirmation and root it. Thanks.

That's all fine and dandy, but you still haven't told us which Rom is currently running your Note? How do you expect anyone to answer your question without that info?

Sorry, I thought posting from the Note includes my signature, which has the info. about the ROM and kernel.
Anyway, I guess people on the Note do not see the signature in the xda app, so here are the details:
Stock GB ROM 2.3.6.7 XXLA6
Kernel: XXLA6
Modem: XXLA4
I am located in the US. By the way, I had XXKKA when I got the phone and then it got updated to the version above. I tried Google but didn't find where the firmware was originally from.

I have a rather complicated method in mind.
What I understand your requirement is : you want to retain your Stock GB ROM (most probably data as well, which could be the reason behind the reluctance to flash another GB ROM)
What if you:
1. flashed a CF-rooted GB kernel, and made a CWM backup(the ROM would still not be rooted);
2. carried out the roll-back procedure to get back to your current ROM with root but no data, and
3. restored just /data from CWM?
I believe stock GB ROMS are non-wipe, so you shouldn't have a problem. Since your current ROM is not directly rootable, I'd say there isn't any method to just root it.
Right, Chasmodo?
I have an even better idea: how about an upgrade while rooting?
Use this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25285584&postcount=3
Download LC1 Rom and follow the instructions from the above post.
P.S. Signature is pretty much invisible if you access XDA from your phone.
P.P.S. If you run into a bootloop after flashing follow this:

Thanks, but I want to stay away from CF kernels too, as they introduce the triangle and raise the binary flash counter.

Thanks, again. It seems like there is no way I can retain my stock GB ROM and modem. The concern with flashing any other version, such as LC1, is that I will go away from the originally installed ROM, and when there is an ICS update available for my version of GB (LA6), I may not be able to upgrade it using Kies or OTA. Is that true?
The first link you provided has a reference to CF kernel, which will introduce the the triangle and raise the binary counter. Is there any way around that?
And, is there anything I can do to avoid the bootloop?
How come LA6 is assigned to a ROM from Russia as well as Open Europe? I thought the characters "LA6" were assigned to merely one country/region.

Heh, I already told you in my previous post.
Go to Chainfire's kernel thread and download CF-Root LA6. Extract the tar file, and flash it using Mobile Odin.
That way you don't get the triangle, and don't trigger the binary counter.

Do you still get the triangle with the cf kernel? No one responded for a long time last night so I flashed the Abyss 4.2 kernel, but I'll switch to cf kernel if it's better.

No. You do not trip the flash counter when you use MobileODIN..... ever. And if you want to stay as stock as possible, use CF-Root.

I followed the instructions on the Galaxy Note Root website then the triangle was annoying me so I used Triangle away to get rid of it.

No specific benefit, it all comes down to user preference.
I never had much luck when testing Abyss, it kept draining my battery.
However, many users like it and report great battery life. Also, Abyss
can be overclocked.
CF-Root is closest to stock of all kernels. It's stable, just a tad slower
and easied on the battery.

Sorry for the delay. Chas is right. There's no specific benefit to using CF-Root. However, CF-Root is a completely stock kernel with only root and SuperSU added. So technically, it's just as stable as an unrooted stock kernel. When compared to elaborate kernels with overclocking, undervolting, boot scripts, added governors, etc., CF-Root can actually be a significantly more stable option for those in need of a rooted kernel. In addition to CF-Root, there are also kernels based on CF-Root. For example, although built from source instead of being a modified stock kernel, the new Franco kernel is largely based on CF-Root 5.3. As a matter of fact, they are so similar that even Chainfire's own CWM Manager app detects the new Franco kernel as CF-Root 5.3.
So you see, your options are vast. You're not limited to Abyss & CF-Root, but CF-Root is one of the best options available.

I am still confused whether the cf root causes the yellow triangle or not, as someone said in this thread that the triangleaway app removes the binary count, but I didn't get an impression the app removes the triangle, too.
Isn't there anyway I can flash the cf root kernel and not have the triangle and the increased binary count?

Dear fellow xda'er,
I have a galaxy note n7000 running a Rocket v6 by eybee. I recall when I first bought the phone and flashing it to this ROM but am completely lost now as to to what to do install jelly bean (or ICS if thats what is recommended).
I have read Ketan's informative posts but am still confused especially with regards to cyanogenmod (actually with everything). I have no idea what version I have but am given to believe that I should be running version 10.
I know there is plenty of information out there with regards to installing ROMS and as such but I would be grateful if someone would point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Bhavik
First you decide what exactly you want to install
Jellybean OR Stock ICS
Then only can someone direct you the exact steps.
Thanks for replying doctorji.
What do you suggest? I would explect ICS to be more stable but if there are no significant issues with JB then I would just install that.
I have never flash any Custom ROM, so can't say about jellybean, but latest ICS DDLR9 i am using and i am satisfied completely.
Cool. I'll go with ICS then. I think i rooted with cf-root possibly before installing the custom rom. I dont suppose I need to re-root.
By the way, any suggestions with medical apps?

Hi there
I am fairly newish to rooting etc and have spent the last week trawling the P1000 forums to try and understand it all.
I would like to take my P1000 GSM TAB from my stock GB2.3.3 to JB4.x and from what i have seen although the CM9 is stable I am tempted to go for the CM10 nightly install. (Do they differ greatly? not sureeven after reading the forums)
I am not sure how much such an install would differ from the tweaked CM10 versions I also see on this dev forum from the likes of Erezax (Sapir), Cdesai and Alroger etc. Only in minor ways i suppose with the possibility of further undiscovered bugs.
So from what i can gather, the method would be similar to that laid down in the Overcome installation pdf.
My question though is do i need to go the whole hog and install the overcome kernal/rom prior to installing the CM10 or can i just go as far as installing the stock GBStockSafev5 (which i want to do just in case, even though i have a stock ver of GB already) and then do a wipe install of CM10?
I ask because i read that it was even safer to go from an overcome rom with GB to CM10, as opposed to going from stock GB to CM10. Is there any truth in this would u know.?
many thx in advance for any reply
best rgrds

No direct way from stock to cm10 because stock recovery doesn't flash non Samsung made zip.

After waiting for a year now and it seems that Samsung didn't released any newer updates for my Note GT-N7000 at my country. I was hoping for them to release an update to prevent that "MMC_CAP_ERASE bug? that causes hardbrick" that i have been hearing around here..

The safest and easiest way to flash ROM and get ROOT at the same time is using Odin Mobile, which offers option for getting ROOT.
You can use Stock ROM LT4.
For most popular custom ROMs : Eybee1970, Team Union, Alliance, Sweet,
ThaiDai ROM for slim and mutillanguage, Glory ROM also for multilanguage with mods.
There are a lot of other good ROMs here, you have to read more to find out what suits better to your taste.

Hello there
I'm really sorry if i just break some of the rules here. I wonder if it's okay for me to just follow the recommended method 1A by dr ketan ? Now i am in PhilZ thread i suppose i have to find my own Galaxy Note Kernel Version first right ? which is DXLR5 so i guess i have to download this kernel here http://www.mediafire.com/?c2jmfqnwajw8ei1 .PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v3.99 Then flash it in the menu called Stock Recovery (VolumeUP+HOME+POWER button)
I found out that my Baseband version has a DXLR1 in there. Should i be worry on this ?
The PhilZ kernel file listed v3.99 there. my Kernel Version is 3.0.1.5-N7000DXLR5-CL968032, Example when i managed to flash that kernel. I guess that my Kernel Version will changed to like 3.9.9.9 am i right ? or it is not okay to just flash to latest updated kernel like v3.99 ?
I hope it's okay to just answer my newbie questions here. I need someone to help me and tell me whether if i did it right or wrong.
Thank you very much

I'm really sorry if i just break some of the rules here. I wonder if it's okay for me to just follow the recommended method 1A by dr ketan ? Now i am in PhilZ thread i suppose i have to find my own Galaxy Note Kernel Version first right ? which is DXLR5 so i guess i have to download this kernel here http://www.mediafire.com/?c2jmfqnwajw8ei1 .PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v3.99 Then flash it in the menu called Stock Recovery (VolumeUP+HOME+POWER button)
I found out that my Baseband version has a DXLR1 in there. Should i be worry on this ?
The PhilZ kernel file listed v3.99 there. my Kernel Version is 3.0.1.5-N7000DXLR5-CL968032, Example when i managed to flash that kernel. I guess that my Kernel Version will changed to like 3.9.9.9 am i right ? or it is not okay to just flash to latest updated kernel like v3.99 ?
I hope it's okay to just answer my newbie questions here. I need someone to help me and tell me whether if i did it right or wrong.
Thank you very much

No problem when you see :
- Baseband DXLR1
- Difference between 3.99 and 3.0.1.5-N7000DXLR5-CL968032.The first is the Philz own version, the second is the Samsung one.
It's normal.

[Q Number 1]
I have already read everything on the first post by dr ketan. I notice there's so many of methods to root the Note. But I'm not sure which one is the safest and easiest method to Root and Flash Hopefully someone here is kind to guide me through the process since this is my first time rooting and flashing on a Note GT-N7000 running on Android 4.0.4 Stock ICS.
[Q Number 2]
There's tons of JB custom roms everywhere! I'm not sure which one is the best and popular one. I'm looking for a fast and stable Jellybean custom rom that are currently available for my Note GT-N7000.
I will be waiting and checking this thread regularly

1.As far as rooting method is concerned on said thread, all the methods are safe. there are pros and cons of different method and already mentioned on thread.
I do recommend 1A, as it will root device as well gives you protection from brick bug and without raising flash counter too. So in case you want to go that way, download LR5 philx kernel in zip version and flash from stock recovery.
2.See ROM selection is totally depends on own taste, you can never rely on others answer, but best way go through OP of custom ROM thread, read features mentioned, read some reviews/bugs and try it yourself. that's the only and best way.

First of all, Dr Ketan Thank you very much for helping me with this. I really appreciate your help Yeah i understand what you're trying to mean about that custom ROMs I will take a look at all of them later.
But now I want to see if i got it right again. I will flash it after you give me the final confirmation i need :victory:
1. Find my own stock Kernel build code DXLR5 then go to PhilZ thread and find PhilZ Kernel that listed my Kernel code which is PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v3.99 then download it After that Connect a USB cable to the computer + Note then copy the PhilZ kernel and place at Root dir of External microSD card then turn off Galaxy Note, then hold VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER button for a few seconds to boot in Stock Recovery Menu then flash it at there. am i right ?
Last question here, Finding a Custom Rom that suit my needs might take awhile since i haven't read all of them yet. But i wonder if it's okay to stay in Stock ICS Android 4.0.4 + PhilZ Kernel ?

1.Yes, but remember you have to select zip version of kernel not tar
obviously there is nothing wrong to stay on stock with safe kernel till you couldn't find out best custom ROM for you.

Okay Yeah i got the signed version instead of that .tar version which is for ODIN.
Good News! i just flashed it and it works! I have SuperSU application installed. I really appreciate all your help that you have done dr ketan thank you very much. Now i have PhilZ CWM kernel. does it uses the same buttons to activate it like the stock recovery ? VOLUMEUP+HOME+POWER BUTTON,
