[Q] GB to ICS with Mobile Odin? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All. I have rooted GB Note. Is it possible to flash stock ICS with Mobile Odin? If yes, will it stay rooted?
Thanks.

Yes it will.
But better use safe kernels.
DAFUQ, Franco kernel version 3 and above, SpeedMod 3-3 are safe ICS kernels.
You can use CF-Root 5.6 (only 5.6, not older versions) as well.
CF-Root 5.6 is safe to restore backups and perform wipe data/factory reset but Don't flash something that contains FORMAT command - esp custom ROMs / Update.zip.
And better read the forums before you play with it.

Don't quite understand what it safe kernet. Is stock Rom unsafe? But thanks. Mobile odin won't work?

Stock ICS ROMs are not safe. I recommend you to use a CM9 kernel and also flash a CM9 or AOKP ROM. This way you won't have any problems. And yes, it can be done with either Mobile Odin or CWM, but you must root your GB ROM first.

I think you can found some answers here :

Task easy.
First choose an ICS Rom of your choice, and a safe kernel. Then check Enable everroot, Inject super user in mobile ODIN to make sure that you have root and SU after installation.

+ waiting also an answer
I was on stock GB, rooted with CWM. I had never flashed any roms. Then I recently updated to the German ICS via the method listed here. Everything is running fine.
Its safe as long as you dont flash the CF kernel. Use everoot in mobile odin to retain root. Keep kernel as stock. I have flashed LPY with this method 3 times so far.

[Q] How to go back to Stock GB safely

I am in Stunner now and I've known that it involved a leaked kernel that would be dangerous. I want to go to to Stock GB then upgrade to latest release of 4.0.3 stock. What is the safest way to go?
Thanks for answering!

I just did that. Just flash your stock rom after backing up all ur data. You will have stock rom, kernel etc.

but if I don't want to be pre-rooted....so what can I do???
Or after I flash the pre-rooted rom then I go back to non-pre-rooted rom......
Please give me some suggestions!!!
If you don't want pre-rooted, it's even easier. Just download any flash using PC Odin any stock Rom from Dr.Ketan's thread.

Is it recommended to backup on unsafe ICS kernels?
No, cause that is pointless. You cant restore that backup safely.

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.

[Q] Galaxy Note GT N7000 eMMC Bug/Kernel Related Question

Hi, I have an international varient of the Galaxy Note GT N7000 which using Chainfire's Got Brick App v1.1 says:
eMMC Chip
Type: VYL00M
Revision: 0x19
Verdict: Danger! This eMMC chip is "Known" to have the brick bug!
I once had installed a custom Kingdroid ROM v3 and wiped it but it had resulted in a Hardbrick/Superbrick so i had to take it Samsung Service Center to get it fixed. They have repaired it and given me back the handset with the Stock ICS ROM. Here are the details:
Model Number: GT-N7000
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-N7000JPLPD-CL643396
[email protected]#3
SMP PREEMPT Thu May 31...
Build Number: IM74K.JPLPD
Now i have done some researched and found that this bug is only triggered with kernels (ICS stock & leaked) which have the eMMC_Erase function/command. GB kernels are not known to have this erase function so they are safe.. Also the two safe kernels are franco r3 and speedmod k3 (Correct me if im wrong). Can anyone please guide me on the following:
1) Should I flash Stock Gingerbread OR ICS Kernel(franco/speedmod)?
2) Should I use Recover or ODIN?
3) Plz Provide the links for the Kernels - Franco R3 & Speedmod K3 which are safe?
4) Will the above Kernels provide root access?
5) Is abyss kernel safe (because it supports GPU overclock)?
6) Can i flash an ICS kernel over a Gingerbread ROM?
For answering please answer in a similar numbered way so that it is easy to read and understand for me as well as future audience! Thanking everyone who takes time to read and answer!
I use Speedmod kernel and i confirm that it is safe (for me at least anyway) Im using CleaNote ICS ROM, So I would suggest you also use speedmod kernel,
You Flash it in Odin, It will give you CWM and Root too !
Ive attached the kernel to the post for you.
Abyss kernel is safe, But its for GB ROMs only, You are on ICS so it wont work.
I dont know if you can flash ICS kernel over GB ROM, However, Your are on ICS so you shouldnt need to worry about that.
don't really want to hijack your thread an i dont really want to make a whole new thread for a simple question.
as a noob, im just wanting to know, if i update my stock gb to stock ics via software update, are there still chances of this emmc bug/brick thats going on?
and the battery drain issues, do they only exist in custom roms or does it exist in stock roms too?
cheers.

Thanks for the confirmation mate, one more thing to ask you: Is the speedmod kernel faster than the stock ICS kernel? Is there any flaws such as battery drain/WIFI problem with it? Also does it support GPU OC? Thanks once again for your help!

Firstly get your Galaxy Note checked using Chainfires App (Gotbrick v1.1). If the verdict says "Danger" only then does your device have this problem. My Galaxy Note (Rev 0x19) had this problem and came with GB out of the box and i upgraded it to ICS through Samsung Kies and it worked fine. So i do not think that while updating to ICS via Kies will cause this problem. As of what i know it is triggered when a command eMMC errase is triggered when either doing a factory reset or wipe through recovery. The update as such did not brick my device, however this does not mean it cannot brick yours. I am no expert on this so be a little cautious while updating. I would suggest stick to GB until Samsung Releases a safe stock ICS ROM with a safe Kernel. Cheers!
really easy
1: (optional ) in GB do factory reset (after you have made a backup with TB)
2: put phone in Download mode.
3: use PC odin flash STOCK ICS rom
4: reboot device let it load
5: put device back into download mode
6: use PC ODIN flash Speedmod k3-3
7: reboot
8: launch CWM and tell it to reboot in cwm recovery
9: load your custom rom of your choice
i HIGHLY recommend doing ONLY THE FACTORY RESET WIPE data and cache in GB before you start anything.
ONCE you are in ICS and have successfully loaded speedmod or franco's kernel then it is safe to do a factory wipe if you want. but ONLY after one of those 2 Kernels are on your device.

truth is i haven't actually bought the note yet.
just doing substantial amounts of research beforehand.
im pretty sure only the n7000 model is out in australia.
but it's all okay if i dont factory reset/wipe/anything-risky-in-general right?

Yes, this bug is known to trigger usually when you do a wipe using the recovery. However there have been some cases when doing a factory reset via the settings has also resulted in a brick. However if you stay away from recovery and do not intend to doing flashing/wipes then i guess you should be ok. And it is a matter of time before Samsung Comes up with a solution. They are said to be working on this bug already. I have the N7000 which i bricked once while flashing and then wiping but i got it repaired since i had warranty. Since then i have stayed away from wiping or installing any custom roms so the device has not given any problems. Hope this info helps! Cheers!
Rom doesnt load during boot
Dear Developers
I rooted my galaxy note and soon as that i got gained super user access for chain fire app, then i flashed CWM and installed crisello rom with abbysys kernel , it installed all the files correctly and soon after that the phone rebooted .After reboot the phone went inside the boot menu ( the world of galaxy UI boot menu ) and it frozen since then
i tired flashing various custom or stock roms and still the same problem i face
If someone could help me out on what the problem is and how i could get a fix to it

1. Afaik yes
2. NO, you'll brick, flash from GB kernel, I know some have done from abyss.
3. No. CM based not compatible with Touchwiz framework.

I have a quick ( hopefully) question about the brick bug. I already asked but I think a mod must have deleted the whole thread, even though the thread was about the brick bug and I think I might have been bringing a new way ( well for some anyway) to flash safely to new ROMs.
So anyway, I have a 'safe' kernel ( speedmod), and I want to try out 4.0.4 stock ROM. I have extracted the stock ROM zip and the tar file inside. In there is the Zimage.
Do I just delete the Zimage then re-zip and flash from CWM?
OR Do I have to replace the Zimage with another, 'safe', Zimage ( for example just put the zimage in there from speedmod because I want to keep that for now). Does there NEED to be A Zimage there, or will it work fine without one. I don't want to start flashing the ROM and it get stuck half way through.
If it will work this way then this might be a fairly easy way for anybody to flash any new ROM they want. They'll just need to get a safe kernel on there in the first place.

Only from GB kernel such as abyss. If you flash from ics kernel you WILL brick. This goes for all cm based roms.

Gave that a go last night and I must not be doing something right. Either I need to re-zip it differently or I need to use something other than CWM (mobile odin?) because it's just aborting before it actually starts flashing anything.
Suppose I could always flash the separate elements on pc odin?

Try mobile odin. If you point to the tar, it should load all the components. You can then review which components are being flashed.

1. Add goku, dafuq, gl-notecore and abyss42 (GB) to your list.
2. Only do it from a GB firmware or at least a GB kernel like abyss42. SPECIFIC instructions per firmware is listed for a reason. Follow those instructions to the letter.
3. No.

Stock rom in a zip? Are you sure you are nit flashing a custom rom? Point us to the file/thread please.
If it is a custom rom, the it is meant to be via CWM.
1. Flash abyss42
2. Reboot recovery
3. Do your wipes
4. Flash.
Im sure there is a specific instruction on where you got that file. Or better yet, go to dr. Ketans thread and get your stock rom from there.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
It's just the standard rom file from sammobile.It does come as a zip you know. If you unzip it, then use rar on it you can see all the bits. I thought if I just put a different zimage in there it would just go ahead and use that, but didn't seem to like it after I zipped it all back up again.
Tonight I've ended up getting chainfires excellent CF-Root kernel.Flashed that through odin, over my speedmod kernel.
Put just the factoryfs part of the stock rom zip onto the SD card and flashed that using the cwm app that CF-Root installs for you.. Now have CF-Root kernel and 4.0.4 firmware.
If you don't already have a "safe" kernel then I dunno what the brick chances would be, but since I had a safe one already I thought it couldn't hurt to try it out.
The reason I haven't flashed the hidden, cache, model and sbl parts of the zip is that simply they wouldn't fit on my SD card If it behaves funny or I can make space then I'll try the rest too. And the reason I didn't flash the zimage from the zip should be fairly obvious. Because I don't want a brick
EDIT: I managed to clear some space on the SD and flashed the rest of it. Seems to be working ok, so far anyway. I'm hoping the battery issues from 4.0.3 will be a little better. This is a really good way of doing it all as you can just swap out a potentially bad kernel for one that has been 'protected' by having te emmc cap erase turned off.

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.

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?

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.

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)

Error while flashing Rom with CWM

hi.
i have an Australian N7000B Note, and it is currently rooted on the latest available android in the country for the phone (2.3.6)
i have superuser and CWM installed.
i can boot into CWM and navigate with no worries, but whenever i try to install any custom rom, regardless what rom it is, i get the same error.
i really want to get off this crappy rom that Telstra provides with the phone, so any help is greatly appreciated.
many thanks
pic attatched of error.
Use ODIN to flash a stock ICS or GB ROM and then re-root and add cwm and try again
the issue you face is because your version is the GT-N7000B and the build.prop is for the GT-N7000 so its failing because it believes the ROM is for a different device.
if the product codes do not match up in the build.prop it will fail - this applies to all devices and all ROMs.
you could also open the .zip and find the build.prop and change all of them, But its a pain in the ass !

I've looked everywhere and everywhere for a ICS or GB rom to flash onto the phone using Odin but all of them are for use with CWM, which doesn't work
WHAT !?!?!?!?! theres a whole thread dedicated to stock ODIN ROMs lol !!

Because these are for the N7000 if i flash a stock ICS rom on my N7000B what will happen?

Put your details in there and it will find you a stock ROM. Ive seen threads where N7000B users have flashed N7000 ROMs without any issues.
EDIT: You CAN use any GT-N7000 firmware !
Awesome! I am downloading the Gingerbread Australian Rom as we speak for the N7000. if i flash it with odin, root it, and then install CWM would it work with installing custom roms such as paranoid android etc?
Yes because the Stock firmware will remove the 'B' and you will have no more install errors
Be sure to follow the instructions to the letter !! and make a nandroid before commencing.

Well, i have a nandroid backup of the current firmware, i made it just after i rooted it.
so, i will flash it with Odin on PC correct? does it require i wipe everything off the phone?
sorry for the questions i am a noob lol
you can wipe before or after it makes no difference so long as your on GB.
Dont ever wipe on ICS unless your on a safe kernel.
But do do a wipe as it will start you off on a fresh clean install

I'm successfully on a N7000 Rom, it unrooted my phone is there a way to root it again?
flash the CWM.zip in recovery and then the SU package
or flash a rooted kernel such as speedmod

read this and be more careful when flashing other phones firmware on different versionhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698788
I guess the 7000b is very similar no?
