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

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.
Hey Guys,
i am coming from galaxy spica (after 2,5 year of rooting) now i have bought galaxy note in Austria with simlock.
So i have make a root, use apk Galaxy_S Unlock and back unroot (i have still 1,5 year garanty, but i am not sure after this unlocking
I had kernel unrootable LA4,
so 1. I made via odin SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS
2. CFROOt_for_kernel_KJ1.rar
3. CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.zip
5. unroot via DooMLoRD_v1_UNROOTING
but what i dont understand (on galaxy spica was jut froy 2.2 and many difrent kernel or mod)
how or which version of kernel i can put now?
I would like to update on 4.0.4 (first 2.3.6) via kies or OTA doesnt work. I would like to keep without root.
Now i am downloading 2.3.6. - N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_ATO.zip but after reading many thereads i am not sure if i can put any kernel on KJ1?
Thank you for a little explanation.
I would like to know if on kernel KL1 (2.3.5) is possible to put any kernel ??? (4.0.4) ?
Go back to stock GB ROM using PC odin.Instructions are in dr.ketan's thread.
Update via Kies or flash stock ICS 4.0.4 using PC Odin again.
What a mess..
Go back to stock gb.. Then flash any known ics safe kernel (notecore/speedmod) via odin(you already gotta have the custom rom in your sd so once the phone restart go straight to cwm and wipe/data/cache/dalvik) recovery keys are volume up+power+home
Then flash any desired(custom) rom after that run triangle away to get rid of the yellow triangle and that's it(encourage you to try cleanote rom its super fast and as close to stock as posible with Notecore kernel) the phone flies and battery its great
Stock its laggy and loaded with crap and the stock kernels are unsafe to wipe/factory reset due to the Emmc brick bug..
Avoid stock kernels as much as you would avoid walking through shyt

Thank you guys,
i have already stock rom 4.0.4 LRG opened germany kernel, everthing is working. I would like to stay with this stock room and wait for official JB.
If will JB be not better than mayby a root. But I need my phone for use not for playing. Like my old Spica. Always was something wrong. So many many kernels or mod.
Just of what am i disappointed its battery live. My tread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830995
I tried all off, like sync. but still one day of very light use it not good.
Maybe will i have to make a root and wipe all... :-/
I just purchased a international Note off EBay. It has GB installed. I am not sure what country this is from but the phone's baseband version is N7000UBKK1 and the kernel version is 2.6.35.7-N7000UBKK2-CL705203. I would like to move to ICS. I need US English as the language. So:
(a) What firmware should I use? I want to use Odin to install.
(b) Is there any possibility of bricking my phone due to the eMMC issue? I have run the eMMC Check app from the Play Store and it says the chip is "insane". But the test of the memory completes without errors. I am not really sure I know what this all means but I want to avoid problems (who doesn't).
(c) I understand the brick problem is with ICS and not GB. Does this continue to be a problem with the various JB roms out there?
Thanks for your time and help.
Flash stock open German XXLRQ then, look for it in dr.ketan's thread for stock roms in note original android dev sticy.
There are no official jb roms for note yet and cm10 or aokp based custom jb roms are totally safe for wipes and all.

For people who just Dont know what version they need to install u can check this from settings -about,or simply just install kies and it will detect ur version,then u can let kies install it for u or u can download it from dr.ketan post then root it then flash any safe kernel as speedmod ir hydracore,one last thing just remember not 2 make any wipes while using stock ICS thats all.

Hello and thanks to you and the others who have so kindly replied. Does this mean I should find a non-stock ICS ROM to install? I was thinking that going stock would be safer. I was reading this guide <android.gs/update-samsung-galaxy-note-to-official-xxlrq-firmware-update> to updating to the ROM suggested above and near the end it speaks to possibly having to select ‘wipe data/ factory reset’ in recovery mode if, after the Odin install completes, the device fails to boot beyond the logo screen. I would not want to get to that point and not be able to do this if needed.
Also, I would eventually really like to get to JB - especially for the on-device voice command processing. If there is a recommended JB ROM that can do this now and avoid the brick problem, I would appreciate recommendations.
Thanks again for your knowledge and help.

ofc you can use ICS Stock Rom. But just to be safe you have to flash safe kernel...Speedmod/Notecore/HydraCore are the safer kernels.
For JB there is no official update available from Samsung for our Note. But you can enjoy it with the efforts that developers are doing for us in XDA.
Go to Android Development Section and Have a look on the Topic Titles.Some of them are AOKP/PA/CM10/AOSP... For Me JellyCore is so far gud. You can find the link in my signatures.
I only know u r now in GB.
GB shld be ok to do full wipe. None reporting mmc brick on GB coz of full wipe.
So....
U can do ur full wipe first on stock GB.
Use pc odin to flash ICS 4.04 LRQ.
Voila.... U r on ICS alrd.
Once u r on ics, and on stock ics kernel....
Pls, do not ever do full wipe.
Unless, after that u root and install ics safe custom kernel, then u r safe to full wipe on ics.
Good luck!

Hello and thanks. I guess it may make sense to bypass the stock ICS which seems to contain issues related to the brick bug and go to something like Jelly Core as you mention. I looked at the page for Jelly Core and see that it says to install using Clock Work Mod and to wipe from a safe kernel first. As a newbie I guess I have some questions:
(a) I am on GB which I understand to be "safe". Is that correct?
(b) Where do I get the CWM for this phone and how do I install it?
(c) To do the "wipe" does that simply mean to use the built-in reset to factory or does this mean something else?
Thanks
Hi there,
a. Yes, Stock GB's are generally safe
b. When your going to flash ROM, each ROM has it's own accompanying CWM.. so when your done choosing which ROM your going to flash your Note to, when your going to bootup in recovery.. and you get the standard CWMR...
c. Yes, Wiping is synonymous to doing the built-in factory reset on your phone (thru Settings), or the alternate way is to go to CWMR and wipe data. Different Methods, same result.
Thanks but...

I am sorry but I am still a bit lost here. Before my N7000 I had a Samsung Skyrocket and flashed it using Odin from the GB that was on it to the stock ICS. I found several guides for this online and it worked fine and easily (although I still feared the brickbug). But this is basically all I know about this stuff.
So how do I flash something like Jelly Core? It sounds like I have to install some other was other than I did with Odin/stock ICS on my Skyrocket. Perhaps I need more of a tutorial on how to do this flashing of custom roms. Any suggestions?
I apologize to all for my thick-headedness.
the best and safest way first is to downgrade back to stock GB. Don't do any thing foolish by just flashing a stock ICS (with an unsafe kernel).
Downgrade first to stock GB and work your way up to eventually flash your preferred custom ROM (in cwmr or odin)
Okay Guys, I have read thread after thread but I'm still unsure on a few things and would really appreciate some straight answers here:
My fiance has a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with the following:
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: N7000XXLRK
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-N7000XXLRK-CL811902
Build Number: IMM76D.XXLRK
Now I'm not really sure if we need to root the phone or not, all she really wants is:
1) Custom themes (different unlock sliders ect)
2) More customizing apps like SPB Shell 3D
3) Better Battery Life
From what I understand in order to get noticably longer battery life and UI customization you need custom ROMs with optimized code, but I could be wrong.
I would would also like to be able to Overclock the CPU but then thats just me being a bloke
So heres the Questions:
1) There are now One-Click rooting batch file that reduce the risk of end user mistakes Soft/Hard bricking the Phone
Q1) Is this the part that is unsafe? or is it just flashing custom ROMs which is unsafe?
Q2) Should I use CWM to flash ROMs / Recovery / Wipe as in some threads thats the advice and in others you get DO NOT wipe in recovery
DO NOT flash anything else in recovery
In general, DO NOT use recovery at all
Q3) Is there a way of installing Custom unlock sliders and SPB Shell 3D without having to root the phone? I've heard you need DroidWall to block Wifi and Data so the app doesnt call home, but that this requires the phone to be rooted first?
Im really sorry for all the stupid questions but hopefully somebody can clear things up for me.
Thanks
For installing themes and apps,you need not do any rooting
There are many third party apps to install in play store
For lock screen themes,try go locker,magic locker or milocker
And spb shell can be installed without getting rooted
If you are interested in rooting and flashing custom roms,then first flash a safe kernel(like hydracore) and then flash custom rom through cwm recovery
Dont do any wipe on stock kernel,it may brick your phone
So if you are still interested in rooting,simply flash hydracore kernel through pc odin

A1; wiping from stock recovery if ics is unsafe.

If u root u can customize ur phone to gr8 extent

Rooting is no problem. The cause of brick, as mention by others is the wiping under stock kernel.
Just install the philz modded stock rom, u will get a safe stock kernel + root + cwm.
Or if u want just follow dr. Ketan thread on rooting.
Anyway, try not to use one rooting.
I m not sure whether can work or not, but my last reading base on the search i found, it can't be use for ics. U may correct me if i m wrong.
Best if u want simple rooting nd safe kernel, just flash philz.
And yes if u want to flash custom rom u can only do in cwm.
U cannot flash it under stock recovery.

Looks like you dont really need to root. Except for the overclocking (there goes your battery life
Make sure you get the kernel right. After that there isnt much that can go really wrong. Or just wait a while, Jelly Bean (an update for your operating system is) around the corner
What I ment was if I want SPB Shell for free without paying for it, I heard that you can use Droidwall to block its internet contecting so it doesnt get dectected and require payment?

Yes N7000 running ICS stock rom with stock kernel .. wiping on them triggers the emmc erase command that corrupts the system. that y philz kernel is a stock kernel with the erase command disabled and u get root as well as CWM v6.0.1.4 latest. :good:

No Philz is a stock kernel so its just like that, for OC u need a kernel that supports it eg. Hydracore OC.

Installing custom ROMs
Installing Mods like battery mod, call recording, full screen caller ID, 15 toggles, transparent notification . infact u can change the look of ur phone if u know how to tinkle with the System apks and frameworks. Mods mainly require u to access the system folder which is only available when u root.
go thru this thread
Good battery life from my N7000 began with the XXLRK. Succeeding builds XXLRQ and XXLRT performed just as well. Therefore do not expect much battery life improvements until your wife changes her phone habits.
I am using Paranoid Utaka now. Even with low cpu settings things are the same with batt life. I believe this has already reached design limits.
Hey guys, sorry its been a long time since my last reply, the Mrs has been so happy using her galaxy note with the new themes/loaders that I haven't needed too ask for more assistance......until now!
To cut a long story short I have a two year old soon who often uses this now to doodle on some of the drawing apps and somehow he removed the apps icon which launces the app tray, and the Mrs was always complaining that she kept getting popups with invites from women on dating websites, (again probably the boy when he's frantically jabbing the screen when he's drawing)
So anyway we wanted to wipe the phone back to its factory settings and I remembered you guys saying it was unsafe to wipe from stock ICS so I've flashed Phiz latest Kernal with touch recovery mode.
I now want to install some custom roms as I'm feeling adventurous however I've been reading lots of conflicting info in the threads on here, some saying flash back to GB rom first or you'll brick your note
And others saying that flashing back to Gb roms are the cause of the bricks!!!
Now I've already made a backup in philz recovery, but do i need to flash back to GB or not in order to instsll paranoid Android?

Yes lots of stock leaks jb roms like Xxlsa and xxlsc. No need to go back to gb just make sure you on a safe kernel. That's it

Cheers man, just finished flashing the ultimate JB rom and its awesome, thanks again to everybody who has helped me out through this whole process.
Hi Guys,
I wondered if any of you (more experienced, long serving) users are aware of any Gingerbread ROMs? Preferably a CM or any 2.3.7 based, but if they don't exist, any build will do... It needs to be a safe build, a non eMMC bug version, or DeOxed (is that the term)?
Sure, you're gonna say, why bother.. There's JB and KK now, but I like GB and wanted to see what it's like on the N7000?
All help gratefully welcomed..
Thanks, Lister
all GB kernels are safe to wipe data (only stock ICS kernel is unsafe)
i advise you to try Checkrom HD v6, still my favorite GB rom

Hi @ASMI1,
Thanks for such a fast reply.. I've been to the main website where I can download it.. One thing I'm worried about, I've seen in this ROM and mentioned in another GB based ROM for our phones is: CSC?
the CheckRom v6 features "Multi CSC" what does this mean, and is it dangerous?
Do I flash Philz Kernel, and install with that? Do I need to flash another kernel afterwards? Does this room raise the counter or anything?
I'm OK flashing JB or KK, but not done a GB ROM and worried in case summit not aware of, don't want to brick this...?
Thanks, Lister

CSC means customer service code. Multi csc means that this rom is not locked to any country or carrier.
Yes you can flag it under philz kernel.

Hi @kaborayyan / @ASMI1 / Guys,
I've flashed Philz original Recovery/Kernel first, and then do all the usual wipes... Factory Reset, System, Davlik Cache (and even tried Pre-Load? after first failed) and same result each time.
During the flashing process it seems to backup the EFS (even though that was the first thing I did when I got this phone, so hope it hasnt over written my original EFS backup) but then gets stuck. It seems to stay on Flashing Modem for ages, and progress bar doesnt move... And then the phone goes black, and it reboots... But then gets stuck on the white Samsung splash screen "Samsung Galaxy Note - GT-N7000" and stays like that, unless I reboot....
I reboot, but notice CWM 5.0.2.7 is installed (not sure if thats a safe one?) so I flash Philz from within that, reboot recovery and then do all the wipes again... and the phone seems like normal again. However I dont know if I've done anything wrong, or if the phone is still safe or if I've killed it any way??? lol
Cheers for any help/support.
Thanks, Lister

Reboot into recovery again if you found the touch colored recovery then you're on philz kernel. If not be sure that you selected the suitable philz kernel.
If I helped hit the thanks button.
Hi @kaborayyan,
Yep, I'm certainly on Philz Kernel.... when it's loaded, its kind of a pink/purple-ish colour.... (not sure what version, but something like 5.1.1.1) It's the first one I downloaded when I got this phone a couple of months back, that I used to root/and then flash custom roms with... (namely, JB).
However, I fancy seeing what GB is like on it, but get stuck... it seems to hang on Flashing Modem, sits there, and then reboots without finishing by the looks of things...?
Its a UK Vodafone, N7000
Thanks, Lister
Did you try to flash a stock GB ROM through Odin? May be you get better results. Then root it and flash whatever you want of custom GB based Roms.

yeah like kaborayyan said, try to flash any stock GB rom using odin3 v1.85 only (you can find instructions and download links in the sticky thread in the orginal development section, you should look for mirrors because hotfile is down or just download chainfire prerooted stock rom)
After you get a stock rooted GB rom installed on your phone, install checkrom using the recovery after wiping data, cache and dalvik.
as i said stock ICS roms are unsafe, other roms are safe... just keep a backup of your efs
and be careful when using odin3.
btw, hitting the "thanks" button is easier than writing it
cheers

Go to www.samsung-updates.com firmware section. There are a few 2.3.6 roms available. Stock though. These roms might be non root able. Not really sure as there are not many methods of rooting GB (check Dr ketans thread for more info) . It could also be possible that for rooting again you will need to flash an ICS or JB rom again using Odin.
If you just want to taste the ginger then stock GB rom is quite fast.

Pristine LC1 is a good option. Its in the OP of the pristine thread. All GB kernels are safe, as above mentioned.
There is no 2.3.7 or CM based N7000 rom

Hi @ASMI1, @kaborayyan, @nokiamodeln91, @AndroidSlave,
Thanks guys, with you're help.... I've finally made it !!! It appears CheckROM HD v6 does not want to flash under Philz (or some other recovery, cant think what now??) However I did manage to get it to Flash under Abyss Recovery Kernel (which is based on GB kernel, apparently).
So it has flashed now, not had chance to play around with it yet as am at work... But just by looking at it, it's bringing back the GB love....
Yes I know it's sad, why go back to GB?? lol. But sometimes it's just nice to go over, for old times sake... Used to do it on my ZTE Blade many a times...
So, (quick questions).
1) With this stock-ish rom, can I remove/tweak/clean up, and then package it (in CWM) as a flashable rom?? or do I have to backup/restore only in that version of CWM??
2) It safe to flash any version of CM9, without using flashing a seperate recovery afterwards... and still avoid the eMMC. It's only official STOCK firmware that killed them....
Thanks once again guys for all your support, I know its not normal (and frowned upon) to use older firmware... But just wanted to see what GB was like again...
Cheers, Lister

1) not really unless you use a new version of philz touch recovery, which wouldn't happen because on the n7000 the recovery sits on the kernel, thus you are stuck with an old kernel and old recovery. As such your best bet is to do a nandroid backup. Further - when you restore such a backup, I recommend flashing abyss again first so you are in the Ame recovery it was made in
2) yes. Just be concerned of Stock ICS (4.0.4) with a custom recovery. Never flash temporary cwm.zip. matter of fact, just avoid stock ICS at all costs. Newer versions of cm9 are safe. Avoid very old cm9 versions. My personal recommendation to you would be Paranoid Android cm9 ( I think it stopped at around .4a) that one was amazing.
