hi guys i just rooted all went fine but after i used cmw 5.5 lp8 through odin and flashed now im not getting wifi connection
Same here ! - Have you worked it out ?
Hi
I have experienced the same with 4.0.3 and now 4.0.4 - CWM 5.6
I found the only way to have wifi working properly IS NOT to ROOT and keep a bog standard fresh rom image current!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806214
Did you manage to get Wifi working ??
Any tips would be helpful
Thanks

Open it and update binaries. It should work after a successful message.
Wifi issue related with bunaries, it has no relation with rooting
If you use cwm.zip to root, it will have no issue. usually it happenes with flashing CF root kernel.
First root device. Your system ROM shud have 15-20MB free space.
Install busybox from market, open busybox and install binaries from inside busybox
Now flash CF root kernel
check wifi working
if any issue, again install binaries from inside busybox application, if you get successfull msg then wifi shud work.
(Edit : same busybox mention by sahil arora above.)

Thanks for that info, I didn't realise there are 2 ways to root the Note !
The method you described again I picked up on this thread too
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-gt-n7000-root-android-4-0-4-ics-xxlrg-102122/
The other way in which I was accustom to using the PC and Odin, obviously using the Pc and Odin to root using the cwm 5.6 file causes binary problems etc
Anyway I copied the 2 files as instructed and rebooted and the wifi now works as normal - (Thats without installing busybox and updating binaries!)
Now the phone is rooted with SU, I don't see the icon for CWM and wanted to know how to boot into CWM recovery mode to use a previous back up rom for the app data?
Or is that the purpose now to flash the cf root kernel via odin, which puts the CWM app on the phone desktop?
Now as for flashing the CF root kernel, what s the file name I need and the procedure for doing it?
ie use the pc and odin ??
Whats the reason for the CF root kernel ?
---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------
As for the 2nd part of the instruction ie install the CF root kernel.
I installed CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5 via the PC and Odin 1.85
Which indeed put CWM on the desktop of the phone and also produced the 'yellow triangle'
Upon booting up, I installed 'busy box free' from the Google store, chose to install binaries as suggested.
Free Space in / system ROM = 0.0mb ?? - how do you allocate space of 20 mb or more ??
Message also saying - 'I am unable to verify whether or not certain utilities needed for this application to run are present and functional on your device.Possible cause incorrect rooting, incorrect superuser settings, please configure again..
Once flashed the CF root kernel - WIFI still doesn't connect !!
CWM is just a blank black screen with NO option to choose to install a back up / boot into recovery mode etc
Mobile Odin will not install, again just a blank black screen
I think the original instructions are flawed !!
Dont flash cf root with pc odin
Make space using titanium. Remove aruro live wall paper google +

Hoorah - what a puzzle that was !! :good::good:
Did it following your instructions EXACTLY step by step - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
So basically if anyone tries to root their note the regular way ie PC and Odin, they will experience the 'partial root and lack of wifi connectivity'
Hence your instructions, when all said and done after you use mobile odin to flash the CF root kernel and reboot there is NO yellow triangle :good:
Amazing
Thanks again
Basically wifi and partial root is just.due to busybox n binary not due to cf root kernel.
And if u flash cf kernel.with pc odin it gives raised counter with yellow triangle, thats y somewhere on other thrwad i said not to.do it.
If.you update busybox.successfully then wifi n partial rooy shud b solve.

Can you confirm that that the 'CWM' file you advise to use in this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659308
Is the same 'CWM' file that comes with a 'WARNING' not to use as given in this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
If 'YES' is the answer and we are all advised to ROOT ICS 4.0.3 / 4.0.4 via pc Odin and a CF root kernel file.
Can you explain then how to over come the problem off NOT GETTING a wifi connection as already discussed in this thread ?
As I and others have already have found out that using a CF ROOT kernel - wifi problems occur
Using the CWM on the sd card method, wifi problems don't occur - but superbricking is inevitable
Reason why I am asking is I'm about to go through the process of rooting another Note and don't want to brick another one !!
Thanks

Thing is I still have the CWM zip files sat on my desktop from when I downloaded them from the post when they were active !
Also when I used the CWM.zip last week to root the phone it worked with out bricking ?
So whats changed in the last week?
If I use it again and it roots no problem, what long term affect could it have if any ?
There is reportedly dangerous to use, may it can brick ur device.

What about all the people who have used it (CWM.zip) in the past and have had no problem with it?
As I mentioned I followed your advice / post last week with this wifi issue and using the CWM.zip direct on the sd card, it didn't brick the phone as I followed your instructions.
For those who have had their phones bricked, could it be down to something else those users have done, rather than blame the CWM.zip?
I'm speculating because for example I bricked my 'Note' last week by flashing a S2 bootloader into it via Odin by mistake, see what I mean?
I have another 'Note' and want to root and bypass the wifi problem.
I don't want to root using the cf root kernel and have the wifi problem, it's pointless doing it unless the procedure either way is flawless :good:

I may try, but I'm inclined to wait.
Theres nothing more annoying than rooting, getting the phone set up and the wifi or something else doesn't work properly!
Last time I used the 'CF Root Kernel' it was the 'Speedmod' one and then I tried the 'CWM_XX_5.6' one - both same results!
Even installed busy box, binaries, permission fix and a whole load of other apps to get it working - Nothing!!
I will wait for now.
Dr.Ketan
Tried the method you suggested in the thread 1st page.
Cleared 'caches, wiped dalvik'
Used 'hardcore-speedmod k3-11 Kernel' to root
Used triangle away 1.70 to remove triangle.
Used 'busybox v9 - installed binaries'
Turned 'on' wifi switch on phone, mesaage box appeared middle of screen:
'ADD NETWORK, TURN ON WIFI' ?? - when wifi was clearly switched on!
Doesn't make any sense.....:silly:
just turn off and On
Have you any error using wifi connection?
Turn 'ON' and screen message is 'ADD NETWORK' - 'TURN ON WIFI' ?
I will try over the weekend to see if I can pick up spurious signals around the town to be sure and will let you know.
Just seems peculiar in relation to the last time I rooted using the CWM.zip when WIFI worked, rooted using Odin and Wifi didn't work.
Give it try!

Ok, so this really seems to be a school-boy question, but I'm stuck.
I've flashed vanilla Gingerbread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854) onto my Tab (P1000 UK model) using the non-bootloader version, all working fine. Now I want to root it so that I can grab a copy of the kernel and crack on with some Meego development.
I've tried two methods: SuperOneClick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) with the Gingerbreak method selected, it all runs (after messing about to get rid of the 7 cdcs driver using the *#7284# pda selection screen) and sits there saying "Gingerbreak running" (or words to that effect) but never stops or reboots.
I've also tried running Gingerbreak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765) directly from the "Start menu" after moving it across to and installing on the device with ADBD and again it just sits there and doesn't seem to do anything (after 30min or more).
I've tried this both with an SD card mounted and with it un-mounted (running Gingerbreak on the device asks for it to be mounted, running SuperOneClick asks for it to be un-mounted.) In both cases I have usb debugging turned on (presumably that is required so that ADBD is running in the background - this is obviously working ok as otherwise SuperOneClick wouldn't get as far as running Gingerbreak.
So I'm just about out of ideas as to what is wrong. Has anyone else successfully used either SuperOneClick 1.9.1 or Gingerbreak?
Next step is to grab all the necessary files (Superuser, su, etc) and try running the original Gingerbreak exploit over the ADBD shell to see if the exploit is at fault and then just install them manually.
Any other ideas?
Hmm, more reading and apparently this loophole has been closed.
Perhaps time to flash a pre-rooted kernel then, drat, was hoping to avoid messing about with Odin any more.
if you just read what the Dev said in the 1st link you pointed probably you are rooted now , and i'm not replying you with 1 eye open ...

one of chainfire steps ( EDIT#2: CF-Root v3.2 for JQ1 / Gingerbread has arrived: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=176 )after u open this link hit the 1st post with red color ,
download this CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip ..
put your tab into download mode , put the zip in odin PDA . without pressing anything or adding anything , just hit the start button on odin , 2seconds your tab will reboot , with CWM & ROOT ... good nigt

The tail end of the Gingerbreak threads on this forum say that the loophole has been closed afaict.
As I couldn't get it to work after a fair bit of trying, I assumed that was indeed the case and flashed Chainfire's pre-rooted kernel (CF-root).
Does anyone have a vanilla zImage backup they could post a link to for me, I don't want the CWM stuff in the CF-root kernel anyway and am also having troubles extracting the initramfs from it.
I'm going to alter the init binary and get back to Meego porting with the new kernel (which should now be easier to use with Meego's multitouch).
Thanks.

I asked a similar question to chainfire here and he said not possible here
I did find a way to root it here http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-on-android-2-3-3-gingerbread/
I thanked you in your previous post for your help
I apologize in advance if this has already been asked and answered, but I did search and couldn't find a definitive answer.
I have a "German" Note which came with 2.3.5 initially, I did one OTA update (to KK9) and it appears that luckily for me, I was still able to use the ZergRush exploit and root it and get the custom CWM, etc.
Now as I sit on KK9, I see that there is another OTA update available to me (KL7?) that clocks in at about 71MB.
With root, custom CWM, and CF-Root 5.0 at the moment, I don't want to lose that in an update.
So, is it safe to OTA or should I download something else and flash it via CWM? If so, what should I download and how should I flash it?
Thanks! Just don't want to brick or loose root.
-Rob
(From memory only
You can "safely" update: that is, some users have reported no problems but I've already read issues with backup managers not being able to unfreeze apps, boot loops, and keyboard/random apps crashing when you try to open them.
KL7 is a stunning update (my battery now lasts forever). I'm going to root later in the summer once everything becomes stable.

After update, you cant root it with zergrush exploit as previous. Better you download full rom, install mobile odin pro, n flash it with 'ever root' option. So will get root during flashing
Thank you!
How can I confirm that the update being offered via OTA from KK9 is indeed KL7? Is that the most appropriate and current update path to follow? I know there are many different builds for potentially different devices, and I just want to make sure I am on the right path, and am merely assuming at this point that KL7 is the next step for my Note.
Thanks again, your advice makes much sense, and with already being Root and having Mobile Odin Pro, this seems like a much more intelligent approach. I want my device to be rooted, but rock stock and absolutely stable otherwise.
Regards,
-Rob
I can only say 71MB is almost exactly what I remember the KL7 update being. Other than that, I don't know how you can check (alternatively, you could download the update from XDA, apply it, then check for OTAs to see whether or not it was KL7).

So, what if you have CWM installed? Can I use Mobile Odin still? Or will this get rid of my CMW recovery and/or screw something else up?
if you use cwm still u can flash it to kl7, but again same, u cant root it. So using mobile odin pro, u can root kl7 during flashing by selecting 'eve root' n again u can cf root n get cwm for kl7 as you did it b4
Edit : yes with installed cwm still can use mobile odin, n remember u need pro version of mobile odin

Got the pro version. Thanks!
So just to make sure, coming from Stock KK9, rooted + with CWM:
Flash KL7 w/ ever root option Odin Pro
Re-install KL7 version of CWM.
Should all be set?
This is non-wipe too right? So everything should remain in tact?
Exactly, and when v dont select re partition box, it shud remain intact.(here also v dont selecting) But always keep backup b4 these kind of stuff.
Edit: I was able to get my phone flashed and updated to KL8. The process I used I descibed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21153439#post21153439
Ok, I'm using Mobile Odin Pro to try to flash to KL7 from KK5. I have root + CWM in KK5, use Mobile Odin according to the instructions to flash KL7...but I always get stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Note" boot screen. No matter how long I leave it, it will stay that way. To recover, I have to use Odin on PC to reflash KK5 and then reroot. Any suggestions on what else to try?
I couldn't get flashing with Mobile Odin to work correctly. I ended up getting the update to work by using CWM to flash the KL8 firmware, while pre-rooting. I then had to fix the keyboard issue by flashing the CSC, as mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997.
Once I did that, I installed CMW Manager again using the method found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360. With the firmware updated and the radio working (phone wouldn't work in KL7) I just restored everything from a Titanium Backup file and it's all working.

If there is no way of rooting thru the device, which is the Simplest Method (There are many post and its so confusing, please direct me to the easiest rooting Method), also without downgrading, if any (without the risk)
Also i have updated to the latest 4.0.4 DDLR6 and still i see the emcc chip is at risk (thru Got Brick bug app from chainfire).

u can root via cwm and su files using your phone
infact dis was d most easy and widely followed method till few days back
buy it has been discovered to be risky lately
u may find an old thread and use dat method
but some bricking risk rrmains..v remote chances..
best safest way today is what u already know..downgrade to prerooted gb..then mobile odin pro..everroot..flash ics..
A shorter and currently recommended way to root:
1. Flash safe kernel with root (ex: speedmod, notecore) through PC Odin.
2. Use triangle away app to reset binary counter.
I'm also on 4.0.4 stock and will probably use this shorter method.

Sri, I guess u r anxious after reading several threads. Since you mentioned you are already on 4.0.4 DDLR6 and considering that if your objective is to just to ROOT (safely), follow what @gtranvi has rightly suggested. That will be a two step process.
1. Flash safe kernel with root (ex: speedmod, notecore) through PC Odin. (click here to download Speedmod. Thanks to hardcore for his post on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673072&highlight=download+speedmod )
2. Use triangle away app to reset binary counter. Thanks to Chainfire, who has done a tremendous job on this (click here to download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22463153#post22463153) Remembe rthat you have to download JUST the "TriangleAway-v1.70.apk"
And let me assure you... no need to panic, if you adhere to all the instructions properly!!!
Good luck...
You guys dont think we should stop mentioning that old method??
that method is proved unsafe, and no meaning to discuss more, as many newbies will find it from other site by reading here.

Hi All,
A very good morning to all.
As the title suggests, I am requesting guidance in step by step manner. Since there is so much information that I am confused & hence creating this thread.
Below are the complete info of the phone:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I9000DDJV7
Kernel Version: [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DDJVB
My phone is a stock phone & has been never flashed before.
As per my research, its said that I should have a custom recovery in place & Clockworkmod recovery is the one of the best. I want to install the same using ROM Manager rather than using ODIN. I have got it from Google Store. But after clicking on install/upgrade "Clockworkmod recovery" then confirming my phone model. Then when I click Flash Clockworkmod Recovery I get this error - "An error occured while flashing your recovery".
I am not using ODIN as I can't delete update.zip file from my SD Card. Hence I am avoiding that approach so that I don't have any issues with accidental deletion of update.zip.
Requesting guidance.

Sudhir
Now, I have found an app called root checker. It is giving me the below info:
SU - Not Found.
Root Access - No Access.
Please guide me on what should I do next.

Hey there,
So the reason why ROM manager isn't working for you is precisely the thing you discovered using Root Checker. You're not rooted, and ROM Manager needs root access to work. (ROM Manager doesn't install Clockworkmod properly either, so you may want to refrain from using that).
So you need to root your device first.
The easiest and safest way of doing this is
1.) Flashing XXJW4 using Odin (if you're unable to use Odin for whatever reason this step isn't easily done).
Then
2.) Flashing Cf-Root made for XXJW4 (the thread is in these forums) through Odin.
This will root your device and install CWM onto it, so you can flash away.

Thanks Soryuu.. for the guidance.I wanted to know if CF-Root made for XXJW4 will work for DDJV7.

It may but I do not recommend it. I have done that a couple times but with xxjvk and I think xxjvo. If you gona try it do it at your own risk. Rather download the cf root for ddjv7
Hmmm, I don't think one was made for DDVJ7. Chainfire stopped making them after JW4 so a lot of newer firmwares are missing.
I wouldn't recommend trying, but you SHOULD be able to flash in a stock rom or stock kernel again should something go wrong.
But as I said, I wouldn't try it for the sake of safety.
Easier to flash XXJW4 instead because at least you know that the CF-Root made for it will obviously work

I have been reading this website and several others over the last few days and last night decided to give rooting a go. Trouble is - I am not sure where to begin.
Last night I tried downloading Philz kernel - PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v2.7 since my kernel version is 3.0.15-n7000dxlr5-cl968032.
I then followed these instructions:
Download xxx-signed.zip kernel matching your ROM
Put the previously downloaded xxx-signed.zip file on your external sd card
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power)
Select "apply update from external storage".
Now select the xxx-signed.zip file you copied in previous step
You are rooted + new PhilZ-cwm6 kernel with CWM6
What I got was a message like - signature authorization failed.
Not sure what to do next and would appreciate some guidance.
I am doing this basically because Ive decided to keep this phone a little longer, learn about rooting and try my hand at experimenting some of the custom roms.
Again appreciate any assistance / guidance anyone might be willing to provide
thank you
Is this the one you tried?

yes... i think that is it
download using phone browser. the move it to ext sd and try again..
case sensitive link.... my bad
Obviously Not. The link i posted links to the kernel. It should be downloading the kernel.
same result..... signature verification failed
The otherday I use PhilZ 3.99 for LR5 from his thread in ori dev. It works fine.

Like I said... im new to this, but the instructions seem simple enough (as above). Wish I could get it to work for me....
I saw you are using ver 2.7. On the PhilZ he has 3.99 for lr5. It worked for me.

i am downloading the 3.99 version now - see how it goes
tried 3.99 and get the same result -- signature verification failed
Strange. Maybe check if there a box in the stock recovery that can be ticked or unticked? Otherwise, check other root method from dr.ketan sticky at android dev thread. Many easy method, even an apk that root.

dont know if this is relevant to the issue, but here it goes
About a month ago, I let the phone update some software - didnt really pay attention what it was updating as i was working.
Later that day i noticed my company email was not coming through. I raised a ticket with IT and received a response after looking into my case stating that the company does not allow rooted devices to access the email system. I found this strange because I had never tried to root the device. Is it possible that somehow an update occurred that rooted my phone?
Im aware that there are several ways to root, but again, im new to this would appreciate further guidance that might help me get this phone rooted.
thanks again
I would try method 0 and 1B from dr.ketan thread below.

Let us know how it goes.

willing to try these methods - if i start with method 0, how do i go about flashing with a safe kernel?
i have read quite a bit about kernel issues for 4.0.4 so just dont want to create a serious issue

once rooted, use mobile odin to flash tar.md5 version of philz kernel, not zip
ok.... im rooted - thanks to both of you for the assistance.
now.... im rooted at 4.0.4. If i want to install a custom rom say for 4.2 or 4.3, I guess I need to root to the appropriate operating system. how does this process work? do i need to first flash to a safe kernel?
bear with me.... this is very complicated for my non-IT brain : )
The most reliable roms now are still stockbased custom roms 4.12. Other newer roms are still experimental. I like Sweet rom 10.5. You need to read instructions for rom flashing from the rom thread.

i have downloaded the following files to computer and getting ready to place them on my phone:
PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-3.99.tar.md5
MobileODIN_FlashKernel_N7000-v3.0
MobileODINLite-v3.85.apk
Is there any special instructions i need to be aware of for mobile odin? I assume i just run the apk program and follow instructions from there to get my safe kernel flashed?
