ok, so i installed the german ics rom on my uk note using this guide.
i want to move back to my "correct" rom, but still keep root if possible. i downloaded the new ics uk rom from here
this may be a stupid question, but can i follow the exact same guide, just substituting the lpy cf root kernel for the lq2 kernel in post 7 from this thread?
my phone was originally the cpw software (even though i didn't actually buy it from carphonewarehouse) and it seems that that rooted kernel is for the unbranded uk version, but i'm guessing that won't be a big deal?
thanks in advance.
Anyone?

If you substitute the LPY kernel with the LQ2 kernel you will get exactly this, a new kernel. The rom will still be the same. In theory swapping the kernel should work but there is always a slight risk it doesn't.
Concerning the cpw branding: What matters is the model, not the branding. So if you have got a N7000 it is fine to flash any rom/ kernel intended for the N7000.

Oops, something went terribly wrong
Yeah but I'm intending to actually flash the uk ROM as well. What i really mean to ask is, can i flash the uk (cpw) ROM with the uk (unbranded) kernel, with no more risk involved than if i was flashing the unbranded rom and unbranded kernel? I understand that there's always a small risk, but just wanted clarification that flashing a slightly different kernel than the rom's normal one isn't going to completely kill my phone unless I'm very unlucky

Hi guys,
So this is my first android phone. I bought it in Shanghai, so it comes with bunch of chinese crapware preinstalled which is really annoying.
After doing some research, it appears that the only way for me to get rid of that is to root the phone (which I've never done before).
I have two goals in mind:
1) being able to delete all the crapware that came preinstalled with the phone
2) being able to install "market enabler" so that I can download "real" apps
I have downloaded Dr. Ketan's guide on how to root the SGN.
My phone's info:
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.ZSLA2
Baseband version: N7000XXLA4
So, from the guide it appears that I dont have a direct rootable ROM, and I need to flash (is that what its called?) it with Odin.
Now, I have downloaded the "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip" file. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am guessing that this file is the "rooted factory ROM"...
However, later I came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 with bunch of [stock ROMs].
My goal is to have "normal/factory/oem/stock/whatever you call it" ROM, with SuperUser access aka root.
So, the question is - should I stick with the guide and use "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip" ROM or should I flash it with one of the ROMs from the [stock roms] thread?
Cheers!

You can do either
KJ1_factoryfs if pre rooted ROM, you won't need to root it after downgrading
While if you downgrade any rootable ROM from stock ROM thread you have mentioned, you have to root it.

BTW,
do I need to install CWM? I am not planning on installing other ROMs or anything like that... just want to wait for the official release of ICS, that's all.
Not compulsory.
You can also purchase mobile odin pro, if you want to update rom to latest version.
Or u can use as it is. But kj1 or any older rom are not tuned as newer one, may experience battery drainage, leg etc, but if u r satisfied, thn you can keep it till ics.

Hello,
I've had iPhone and other Verizon android phones, but I'm pretty new for unlocked international version phone. (Sorry about the basic questions =[)
so I see my GNote version as "N7000UBKK1"
after some searching, I guess mine is south america version.
Is this right?
If I want to upgrade to ICS only for the stock version,
do I have to install German GB stock first then install ICS German one?
or can I just install ICS German one from N7000UBKK1?
Again, sorry for the basic question. It seems hard to find the information I need from sooo many threads here (from all kinds international versions)
and thank you ahead. =]
Hello,
in order to install the sock ICS on your note, you need to root your phone and seeing the basic questions you are asking you might want to wait for the official rom to come out to you country.
But if you are up for it I guess the easiest would be to check out this thread everything is really clear :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and to answer your question, you can just install the german ICS coming from any rom
You can directly flash the LPY or LPF rom using pc odin. LPY is the German release, LPF is for Taiwan/ Hong Kong. Be advised: LPY suffers definitely and LPF probably from a bug that can brick your device for good, making it necessary to get your main board replaced by Samsung (maybe you would have to pay for it).
If you don't need other languages than English I would go for LPF since so far there have clearly been less bricks than with LPY.
Once again: It is dangerous, there is a risk of bricking your device. Because you're a beginner it would probably be wise to stick with Gingerbread until Samsung releases a fixed version of ICS for the N7000.

Why is it necessary to root the Note to install ICS (LPY or LPF)? I he does not need/ want root access he can simply flash it using pc odin. Root access is definitely not a basic requirement to install ICS on a Note.

I don't think he will have any issues with bricking since he has a 'stock' device and only wants to upgrade to 'stock' ICS. Just flash the LPF through odin and is totally safe.

Since you are that much convinced that there is no bug in LPF and you can tell a person who is new to android flashing LPF is save I assume that you will gladly buy the op a new note if he bricks it because of your advice.
Like I already said I'm against panic and I run the LPY rom with a LPF kernel myself. But telling people it is save? What is your source? Your proof? There is none, LPF cannot be considered save. Ever heard of the I/O problem?

Thanks for the replies.
So, I can just odin the stock German ICS from my current stock GB?
and there's possibility that I might brick my phone?
P.S. I'm new to just international version phone so didn't know which country one I should look for or didn't know if I have to stick with my current country version to do anything, AND I've flashed many roms using odin when i had Galaxy Fascinate.
P.S. one more, and this is she not he.

Please be extra cautious flashing ICS ROMS. There are tons of threads on this forum with reports of bugs in the German and the Taiwanese ICS ROMs which damage data sectors on your device. I, along with several others, ended up bricking our devices due to the ICS ROMs. If you are new to Android and the flashing ROM scene, I would strongly advise you to wait until a reliable ICS ROM is released.

Hi Guys...
I need some help to root my buddies XXLA4 galaxy note...
it is currently on gingerbread.
I need the zimage file to root with the easy rooting toolkit.
but i've read some sonflicting ideas to downgrade first etc etc
Any ideas?
thanks a mill guys!
LA4 is non rootable directly
-You need to downgrade first to get it rooted
OR
-Install Pre rooted ROM
OR
Update to ICS and root it
Thanks Dr Ketan...Was actually looking at your thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Basically what he wants is Just Stock ICS.
ICS is not availabe in south africa yet. so guess option 3 is out of the question.
he does not want custom rom so option 2 is out as well.
If you can point me to the correct thread to downgrade i would be most gratefull.
If it was my own phone i would have no worries to try stuff but here i only have 1 chance LOL
thanks again!!!
You can flash any Stock ICS ROM, not necessarily it shud from country you have purchased note/using.
If you check his CSC (*#1234#) it may be something like JV*** if it was from south africa
As JV code is for contries includes South africa.
So find ICS ROM having CSC JV*** will be closer to his/her home country.
here is two version having this code Turkey and morocco. have ICS released.
N7000XXLPY-------4.0.3-----------2012 May-----------N7000OJVLP6-----------Turkey
N7000XXLPY-------4.0.3-----------2012 May------------N7000OJVLP6----------Morocco
This will be closer.
But practically there is no rule, you can have Any N7000 ROM.
Thanks again mate!
So i should first downgrade to a lower ROM...
then Root....
then go up to ICS?
No you can directly Flash ICS, ICS is rootable.
But as i said earlier go clean, wipe cach and data then flash ICS.
Thanks!
So i'm going to use this file N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar
to flash using your guide ICS installation and root.
that is the one I used on my galaxy note.
thanks man!
Hi,
First of all here are my specs...
S5830
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: S5830XWKPA
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL561786
[email protected]#1
Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKPY
I want to flash this rom from sammobile which I beleive should work with my phone
Model Country/Carrier Date Version PDA CSC
GT-S5830 United Kingdom / Ireland 2011 September Android 2.3.6 S5830XWKPY S5830XEUKP1
but before I do I would like to backup my existing rom in the same format as this rom so I can flash through odin.
I found this page on the wiki for backing up your rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/How_to_backup_Original_ROM but its not in the same format as the downloadable roms. Can I flash this through odin? or how can I backup my rom like the downloads from sammobile?
I just want a backup so I have something to fall back on should I need to.
Thanks
First of all. The rom you are trying flash is very old. New firmwares are more stable. Try a rom which was released this year. I wonder why you want to backup the original rom, its old. Anyway, just backup stuff using cwm, search for your current firmware of sammobile and download it. If you want to return back to original firmware, flash the firmware via odin and restorethe cwm backup.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
There is no official rom higher than 2.3.6 for this phone, I'm guna flash cyanogenmod at some point when I get a bit more time but for the time being I just wanted to flash official 2.3.6. Am I wrong in thinking the CWM needs a rooted phone to work? or will this feature run on unrooted phones?
thanks
Try the Spanish Rom XWKTQ.. And i'm sure you'll love it.. Almost Bug free and really fast..

CWM needs a rooted phone.
About the firmware. Yes the highest android version is 2.3.6, but new firmwares have more features and more stable. Flash XWKTQ.

thanks for that

Just 1 quick question, just want to double check, aslong as its XW*** or another uk rom can I just flash it, because i was under the impression you cant flash roms from other countries unless its rooted?

If your phone is operator specific then flashing rom from different countries might cause problems. If your phone is unlocked and you can use it with any operator then no problem. You can flash any rom.
reply
ah ok, mine is on o2 uk but it was bought from phones4u so it should already be unlocked, so thats good to know. There doesnt seem to be any o2 branding on the phone so i'll have a play when I get sum spare.
cheers
But still, just try using a sim from some other operator and see if it works. If it doesnt, your phone is operator specific.
yeah, will do,
thanks
Hi guys, i've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070 and I'm a little confused. My previous phone was a Galaxy Ace S5830i, I had that phone rooted (but it was too easy, just flash a .zip file) and with a custom rom.
So I have some questions:
1) For now I just want to root my new phone but the methods that I found here are not too clear to me. I first saw this method, but my firmware is not there. My phone came with I9070UBLI1 (2.3.6 GB). So i can't root my phone? my kernel isn't even in sammobile.com/firmwares
2) I want to make a backup just in case before rooting, so, what recovery should I use with this phone? cwm? this? or which one?
3) What is "binary counter"? In galaxy ace that wasn't present.
4) I saw that in samsungfirmwares site there are some 4.1.2 kernels, but they are for Rusia. I'm from Chile. So can I flash the russian kernel? will I loose my signal, 3G or something? Do you recommend upgrade to JB? with stock russian or a custom rom?
5) Do you recommend a custom kernel? which one? This looks nice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you can help me with those questions (numering your answers just like i did with my questions), I just want to enjoy a lot my new phone. :good:

I read the forums, but I'm still confused, for example, for rooting, in the thread that I linked in 1) there isn't the firmware that came with my phone, so I went to here, there isn't neither, then I read this post, but to do that I need dowload my phone's firmware, but the one that came with my phone there isn't in samsungfirmares web page, so I suppose I can flash anyone for Chile (my country), there are 2, but idk if they will work, so, if I'm going to take that risk I need to make a backup first, but idk what recovery I should use.
I have a mental bootloop
