Hello guys, let me please get just a confirmation from you since I have no access to Samsung Service Center, i don't want to have a hard brick device.
What are the best procedures to upgrade from KingDroid v2.0 ICS to Open German LPY ?
Flash abysskernel and wipe then flash open german did not work
Thank you!
Use PC Odin.
Hey chasmodo thanks for your quick answer. Just to clarify a little bit, I still need to flash abyss and wipe, then go to PC Odin and flash using dr Keatan procedure ?
thank you so much again

Do not flash Abyss to wipe, it's not completely safe. Just use PC Odin to flash a GB Rom (pre-rooted or stock).

I want to revert back to Stock GB from CM9. .Can i flash with mobile Odin??
flashing with Pc odin gives yellow triangle. .I dont want to that
It is not flashing with Odin that gives the red triangle. It is rooting your phone that does it. I used Odin to get rid of the red triangle (though the phone obviously still retains it's custom binary count)
I just downloaded the following ROM and flashed it with ODIN -
N7000XXLC1---------2.3.6-------2012 March----------N7000OXALC1-----------Open Europe----------------------------- Download (wipe)
I lost the triangle, lost root and gained a stock Galaxy Note.
Flashing stock Roms using PC Odin never gives you the triangle. Flashing custom kernels, Roms does.

Just as he said.. but if don't wana use Odin at all..then download the custom gb rom you want and download abyss3.9 kernel in your SD card..den do the following steps..
1.. go to recovery
2.. flash abyss kernel 3,9..
3.. don't reboot system...DONT...!!..
4.. go to advanced and select reboot recovery.. you will then reboot to abyss cwm recovery
5.. flash the gb rom you just downloaded..and reboot..
Okay first of all, flashing ANY STOCK ROM with PC Odin won't increase your binary counter, i.e. no yellow triangles.
Flashing ANYTHING (ROM obviously) with Mobile Odin won't give you the yellow triangle. Flashing non-stock or custom ROM with PC Odin will increase your binary counter.
So, just download any stock GB ROM from the development section and flash it with PC Odin. Simple!
I'm on Stock GB and wanna try CM9 ICS & other ICS roms... I know i have to flash Chainfire repack first, but which..?! There are more than one version...

Flash it with Mobile Odin (Pro recommended) keeping all the options of Everroot checked. DONT flash with PC odin ...u wont get root if you do that.
Reboot and let the rom settle. Then go to recovery and then flash Stunner or any other ics rom you want.
Cheers! Enjoy your Note.
Hit thanks if it helped
I'm late in the discussion but this topic interests me.
But why can't you just restore Nandroid back using CWM from your GingerBread backup Nandroid?
(you did Nandroid your previous GB rom before you went to ICS, correct?)
Can someone write a proper guide how to revert back from ICS to GB with CF kernel and without CF kernel?
Thanks

Prior to flashing GB, donot wipe data using stock or cwm recovery on ICS.
Do not use touch recovery to flash GB rom.
Do not restore GB backup from ICS.
Flash GB firmware with PC odin.
If you are stuck in bootloop or there are FCs after flashing GB, don't panic, just wipe data/factory.

Hello guys.
The very same thing like to OP happened to me today in the morning. After reading the warning about ICS bugs I decided to revert to GB through PC Odin. And the result is same .... stuck in factoryfs.img and not able to access recovery ...just download mode. Unfortunately I stopped reading at page 7 or so ..... need to leave the computer right now. If there are any thoughts to help us, please reply .... thanks in advance.
P.S. It looks like MoBo replacement is required, right?

hi...
who is the best GB or custom?
Hi guys,
I have just installed Rocket Rom ICS v4.1 and have found myself in a bootloop. I can boot into recovery but i'm really worried about bricking my phone.
I have tried reflashing the abyss kernal v4.2 but it freezes on install before restarting after about 5 minutes.
I have a nanoid backup of my GB phone but as I understand it you need abyss to restore to this safely.
What would you guys suggest?
Thanks in advance for any help

You can get into recovery but you cannot reflash abyss kernel. If this is the case you can use pc odin to flash abyss. You can download the tar file from:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar
You can then restore your backup once you are on abyss recovery.
It would be safer if you use pc odin to flash a GB rom.

Thanks fro the speedy response
let me just check I understand you correctly (I am new to this). I think I would rather just go back to my working GB rom. So if I just follow the guide listed in to flash the kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and choose the N7000XXKKA English kernel, once flashed I can just restore my nanoid backup. This means I will not need the abyss kernel either?
Again thanks for the help, its greatly appreciated.

Yes, if you choose to go that route to go back to your GB rom you will not need abyss.
Thanks i'll let you know how it goes
Thanks for all the help, my phone is now working and restored back to GB.
I ended up using pc odin to flash the Abyss 4.2 kernel and then doing a restore
Again thanks for all the help I was really worried then I'd ruined my phone.

Hello!
I currently own a SGS II I9100 and a SGNote N7000. The I9100 is on stock GB(rooted) and N7000 is on stock ICS(not rooted). I want to have CM9 on both my devices. Both my devices are in the faulty hardware list that ICS brickbug can affect. So decided to downgrade the N7000 to GB before flashing CM9. Went through a lot of threads here, and one in particular was by Dr.Ketan which lists all the stock firmwares. A bit unsure whether my understanding of the steps are correct or not!
Download the stock firmware files of GB
use PC Odin to flash GB(as per steps in Dr.Ketan's guide)
after flash wipe and do factory reset(any corrections?)
Flash CWM Recovery(or need to root before this?)
Install CM9
My concern is that the N7000 is already on ICS. Won't a direct downgrade to GB via PC odin brick it?(Please don't castigate me if this question enrages you! I am dumbfounded here.)
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
NOTE: I did ask this question by mistake in the SGS II section(since i'm going to flash CM9 to both my devices). But all i got was a sarcastic reply and a link to the CM9 Nightlies Discussion thread(because i used N7000 as an example!). I did go through many threads before posting this question, so please tell me whether the steps according to my understanding are correct are not and also if i'm missing something here. This is my first attempt at flashing ROMs. Once i get the hang of it, i wouldn't ask such questions. Thanks.

To be precise From GB kernel you can flash as much as you want. There is no risk. Follow Dr. Ketans Guide for the same. But for your N7000 as u r on ICS you need to be first on a safe kernel like Abyss 4.2. Since yiu do not wipe for the Kernel change it is safe as wiping or factory reset from an ICS kernel triggers the brickbug. So as the thread link above will say DO NOT WIPE WHEN IN ICS.

Yes i do understand that wiping from ICS will wipe the life off my device as well :silly: I wanted to go back to GB and then flash CM9. Let me re-phrase my question then. Is going back to GB from ICS as simple as downloading stock ROM from Dr. Ketan's page, Flash it via PC Odin and after flash, wipe and do factory reset? Do i have to re-partition or something? Because in the thread that you've pointed me to, the OP has posted saying going back to GB by repartitioning and flashing via PC Odin! I'm truly in the dark here. Kindly advice!
This is what i have now:
Directly rootable KL1 stock rom from Dr. Ketan's Page
Odin 1.85
CyanogenMod9 RC2 for N7000
So do i have to Flash GB, root it, flash CWM Recovery and get into recovery mode, and flash from the CM9 zip? These steps are the ones that are confusing me.
Yep, the steps you've outlined are correct, simple pc Odin flash of gb, no need to repartition. Then from there you can root and cwm, then flash cm9 zips through cwm.

Thank in advance

Well the odin way, is the safest way in my opinion.
Flash a safe kernell and then Flash the gb rom you wish via odin.
Search in the forums and you will find the exact safe steps

thank for your anwser
I wondering why flash a safe kernel before?
I can just flash the full stock rom via odin on a dangerous kernel right?
Straigh way flash any stock GB ROM with PC Odin.
Very likely you will face force closes after flashing GB stock ROM, nothing to worry, just reboot to recovery and wipe cache and data, everything will be fine. Remember wiping should only perform on GB ROM.
So thank you very much everybody
so i flash the rom via odin , so the flash pass, aftert i get a bootloop on samsung logo so i shutdown my device, and
press home and power button and volume up and select wipe data and wipe cache
reboot the device and everythings is fine

As long as you flash with odin, no need to flash safe kernel as odin does not uses recovery, but it is not advised to flash stock ICS as you may have to wipe immediately after flash. And wiping on stock ics can brick your Note.

Most of the times we may have to wipe in stock recovery after flashing stock rom using odin (specially if flashing over custom roms or flashing GB over ICS), and we all know that Samsung ICS kernels are not safe to wipe, it may brick your device if you have to wipe in ICS stock recovery.
Best is to first flash GB, wipe and then flash ICS using odin.
