[Q] Back to GB - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi..I currently running Kingdroid 1.6 on my note and i want to revert back to my old GB roms (lightning rom).However,im afraid of bricking my note.I already search through the forum but still can't find a method that is guarantee to works.Some say to flash stock GB first through PC odin.Some say i just need to flash abyss kernel then the lightning rom.so which methods is safe?
Im a newbie anyway.Thanks

I would flash stock gb with pc odin and start fresh i have done this many times this does not gurantee no probelms but in my personal opinion thats the safest way i flash straight back to prerooted gb rom.

PC Odin method is safer than Abyss. Do it like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25285584&postcount=3
If you get a bootloop after the flash, do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26460335&postcount=4

[Q]Should I use CWM or odin to flash 4.0rom like romow?

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
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
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.

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.

ICS STUNNER ---> ICS STOCK premium suite??

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.

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!)

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 ??

Using PC Odin you'll be able to flash a gb rom if you like. You'll have to go into download mode and flash from there.

you can revert to stock GB via ODIN (the safest way)

[Q] How to go back to Stock GB safely

Is it recommended to backup on unsafe ICS kernels?

Agreed, there are other ways to back up valuable data, and it's easy enough to get back to unsafe ICS if there is ever reason to without maintaining a nandroid backup with potentially fatal results.
In the result of an eMMC failure brick it is safe to assume that a backup which includes an unsafe ICS kernel will do nothing for you but cause potential for problems if you ever lose track of it and get it mixed up with good backups.
I was not exactly referring to nandroid backup, I don't even think about entering recovery mode on LPY.
Titanium Backup is OK?
pc odin flash stock gb
and thn update to ics
I don't know about backing up apps in ICS and moving back to GB. I always just consider it a loss and move on. If you have a way to offload your important files to a computer, then I would just do that.
I have tried using TB in the past, but ran into too many issues to consider it worth it.

Okay so what rom CAN I flash from ics?

I'm being a right pain in the bum now ain't I!
Been searching the forum and it seems I have to go back to GB to install another rom?
I thought it was the stock kernel that it was unsafe to flash from, so I installed Franco kernel thinking it would be okay then...but apparently not?
So is there a rom out there that I can flash nice and safely with ics on Franco?
my suggestion is: until you feel perfectly safe, don't take shortcuts (unless explicitly suggested by ROM/kernel developer),
I mean, flashing full GB to flash another ROM, may seem a waste of time, as there are faster methods (e.g.via abyss), but why take the risk?
to answer your question, afair franco kernel should have the fatal command disabled, but check in his thread to be absolutely sure

Quite a few custom Roms require you to install from gb, not because of the kernel issues, but for other reasons which I'm not too clear on. For instance if you flash paranoid over Ics rom with safe kernel, chances are you'll brick. Always follow the rom threads directions, never try shortcuts and 99% of the time you won't have any issues at all.

Alright, but don't you have to flash GB using PC Odin, or can I use mobile Odin? Or can I use cwm?
It's recommended to use PC odin although I think it's okay from mobile odin also. I wouldn't use cwm as that utilises the existing kernel.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Alright I will look into using PC Odin.... This should be fun lol
You do not really have to flash the full rom. Just flash via mobile odin the abyssnote 39 or 42, reboot to that kernel and flash your custom rom via cwm.
I have flashed stock gb and/or ics back and forth from within mobile odin without issues.

Where did you get the GB rom from? Was it from the stock rom thread on here? And where did you get the kernel, I think I may have seen it on download Android rom .com...
I have my ics backed up on my sd card, so if I want to go back to ics can I just use the backup instead of finding the ics rom?

Haha just had the freight of a life time, just flashed abnote through mobile Odin and the phone got jammed at the Samsung boot screen...lucky this time I have cwm fully installed and went right back to Franco...
LOL
Never used PC odin for flashing any roms, only used Abyss kernel 4.2 flash into recovery of abyss and flash any rom and enjoy i have been jumping from rom to rom through abyss kernel No issues till date all well and good, never flashed anything from any ICS kernels or even CM9 kernels, only abyss kernel to be ultra safe.

It won't let me install abyss kernel for some reason...both files through Odin and through cwm but it just gets stuck on the boot screen so keep having to go back to Franco....bummer :-(

It's recommended to use PC odin although I think it's okay from mobile odin also. I wouldn't use cwm as that utilises the existing kernel.

Why not make a backup in recovery when on stock GB?This way you can restore easily no odin what so ever needed!
It is safe to restore even on ICS (or at least stock ics) right?
Can restore cause brick?(this has always been a puzzle to me)
