Hello XDA Community,
I am an 2 year XDA veteran, so i am properly familiar with all things related to XDA.
I currently own a Xperia X10 Mini Pro and a Xperia Mini Pro....
I tinker a lot with these 2 phones. SE phones mainly need fastboot.....
I just brought a Samsung Galaxy Note(SGN) N7000 (India) a few days back and am really excited to run CM9 on it.....
But i have alot of unanswered questions.....
So i just need the community's help...
1. Does the SGN have a stock recovery....????
My cousin has a Galaxy Tab 8.9 and it had a stock recovery. I just flashed a zip to root it and another zip for CWM......
2. What exactly is ODIN....?????
The Tab 8.9 had ODIN with a Recovery but our SGN does not seem to have one.......
3. Is it safe to upgrade to official Samsung ICS......????
There is alot of talk going on in the forum about HARD BRICKING our SGN if we upgrade........
4. What do i exactly have to do to get CWM......????
The guides in Development Section by dr.ketan have me totally confused, though i have rooted my SGN using DoomLord's Kit............
I am new to Samsung devices ant dont know the way they work.....
So any help will be extremely appreciated.......
Thanks.

I used Vol down + home + power while starting up, and the phone booted into ODIN but there is no recovery.....
The screen only shows " Start Downloading"...
What is this........???/
Whereas the ODIN in Tab 8.9 gave options to flash .zips and much more......
Help please......
Thats download mode, you use with odin from your PC.... use Vol up + home + power for recovery
Download mode is mostly used to flash stock roms (afaik) and they can be found http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-N7000&r=-1#modelsa

download mode can be done by pressing Middle Key(HOME Key) + Power key and Volume Down Key .
Here is what you will need:
1. You might already have USB drivers for you Ace if you have Kies installed. If not, download manually from here.
2. Download Odin Multi Downloader v4.38 (Imp.- version no. is important) and the cooper_v1.0.ops file from http://www.mediafire.com/?lga31u288f6nvu2
3. Now download a firmware of your choice from samfirmware.com.
link for latest india baseband firmwre :- http://www.hotfile.com/dl/148986856/f274ebd/S5830DDKQ8_S5830ODDKQ7_INU.zip.html
4. Make sure you have the phone’s battery charged to at least 40-50%.
Now that you have everything now you need to go and set Odin.
1. On ODIN select the OPS button and load the Cooper_v1.0.ops file unto it. Ensure that the Auto-Reboot, Protect OPS and Reset Time is checked.
2. Unzip the firmware .Zip file in a folder If you get have the contents in .TAR (or .tar.md5), Check “One Package” option on the left side & skip PDA, Phone, CSC, BOOT options & directly go to ‘One Package’ option. Browse for the .tar (or .tar.md5) file & select it
3.enter into dwld mode
4.click on start
the whole process wud take arnd 5 mins.if it bootloops on restarting.enter into recovery(home + power button) n erase caches.
As its filesystem conflict you just need to flash cf-root to boot your backup...seriously ppl reply with extreme final solutions

Yes u do need to install drivers or else USB mass storage wont work and your phone wont connect to your pc..google them..
Yep..just boot into download mode and start odin...though wiping data should be done just in case...
before doing all those things you should have atleast taken care of going back to stock.. i am pretty damn sure that google will give you a complete noob guide to use and flash ROMS with ODIN on atleast 100 sites.. i am sure you can use google atleast ?

Sorry for being such a noob but i have downloaded both files and connected phone with laptop and odin where do i load the file that i have downloaded?
if it is one single file then it will go into the PDA section. If it comes in 3 files it will go in the respective section, i.e PDA, Phone, CSC.
do not select pit or repartition

It's a ZIP file and PDA requires a .tar file?
open it up There will be a .tar file inside it, Extract it and then load it into odin

That type of rom is not to be flashed with odin ! You have to go to samfirmware download a stock one for s5830 put cooper ops on odin select one package and then select the tar file. Put your phone in download mode and flash it ! Search youtube for video tuturial there is plenty of them

There's a guide in the Dev section (stickied).. a little reading goes a long way!
Basically it's gonna look like this: Stock KK4 w/o BLs with Odin -> Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 (go in recovery to get root) -> Flash custom ROM as per their instructions -> Enjoy!
So yeah, little rundown but you have some reading to do to make sure you understand what you are doing.
Since u r runnin android 2.3.4 then u have gb bootloaders so u r good concerning that.
Simply Odin flash the .tar packaged KK4 Corn Kernel version 7.0A , afterwards reboot into the cwm recovery and install ur rom of choice that u should have copied to ur internal sdcard by now, per said rom's install instructions. (u will have to select to install it twice) Success.
--- Option is there, in the advanced cwm recovery menu, to gain Root access. But the big unrealized fact to a lot of users is that u actually don't need to have Root in order to flash a Developer's Rom. If u follow the method i just laid out. :thumbup:---
Enjoy ur Rom of choice !:beer:

Recovery is both volumes+power buttons. You release when the screen flashes usually (there are 2 AT&T image that look the same)
Hold volume + & - together with power button until u see the at&t logo, then release and u should be in recovery.

Can you get in download mode? (volume down + power button)
I'd say to retry flashing Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 (don't forget the .pit)
If that doesn't work, flash stock KK4 without BLs, then reflash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85.

I'd say to retry flashing Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 (don't forget the .pit)
If that doesn't work, flash stock KK4 without BLs, then reflash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85.

The .pit file.
When you use Odin 1.85, you need 2 files to flash a kernel: .tar and .pit
Your flash most likely didn't work cause you didn't have the .pit file (hence why I said a little reading goes a long way).
It can either be found in here (little search) or on the samsung website.
EDIT: here it is: http://www.droidevelopers.com/attac...752561-[download]-ops-pit-files-s1je4.pit.rar
If you don't know how to use Odin, there are plenty of videos on youtube. Please take time to really understand what you're doing otherwise you'll end up with a paperweight in your hands.

No, when using Odin 1.85, you put the .tar file in the PDA and the .pit file in the PIT.
Flashing Corn kernel will give you a cwm recovery and you won't need to root, just flash the ROM you want to as per their instructions.

Ohh thanks a lot but unfortunately I don't have a PC at home, so I can only try this in the morning. Btw your link for pit file needs registration.

Seems good. The i9000 is the International version of the captivate so it should be fine.

So I tried to install a rom and every thing went fine. I rebooted my phone via clockworkmod and then it shows me the logo of Galaxy mini 2 and the screen gets whiter and whiter. I tried going back to CWM but it wont open the only thing i can do is go to download mode.
So if somebody coud help me i would appreciate it.
Have you tried reflashing stock?

You could follow my TUT here. xD

Next time, please, check carefully what you're flashing.
Thank you all for your comments.

Will do.
How could you even flash it since the updater-script cancels installation if the device name/model number is not in the list?

Idk, i downloaded it and installed with CWM 6.0.2.8. I havent had any error or warning.
If you can access the Download Mode flash the stock firmware.. mine can't even acces the Download Mode even with USBJig, it still shows a white line..
he had a soft brick, you had a hard brick.. take it to the service center
This should be posted in Q n A not in Android Development.
then report it...posting there is waste of time...since most or all of mini 2 users are here...
