Hi all, just wondering if anybody is feeling helpfull and explaing the easiest rooting method for my galaxy note.
I have an unlocked note on 2.3.6 latest gingerbread.
Total noob with android and finding it a little confusing after coming from apple. I jailbroke my i4 but this is alot different no click and done lol.
My main reason is so i can perform full backups including app data, and also installing a few apps like airplayit.
Been having a read but my head is swiming.

Hi mate. I was in the same boat as you.
Even after being into rooting my Androids since the G1 days.
This is my first Samsung.
Anyway. Follow the "how to root with cwm and everything in one place thread"....or something like that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I see they've moved the non rootable roms to post 4.
It depends which version you have add to what you need to do.
Download Odin and flash a completely stock GB rom as the one I had LA6 I think was unrootable .
Then I just flashed paranoid Android loved it ever since.
Follow the instructions on that thread and you should be fine.
Doing that though ill loose everything?, spent weeks setting up

Hi,
I would read, read, read & read more if you have a head that is swimming with all the information.
Read this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702214
among hundreds of others.
I managed to kill one of my notes & didn't consider myself a noob but the brick bug got me.
Yes when you install new roms there is a lot of setting up to re-do hence backups are important & time time saving BUT read about the brick/eMMC erase problem and hold out until the situation has been resolved, otherwise all you will have is a very expensive paper weight.
Yeah ill hang on. Not desperate to get it done and also dont have the time.

if you want your GB rooted, just flash a non-wipe pre-rooted ROM from bodivas thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
I did the same and worked for me
What i did was flashed speedmod kernel k2-12.tar through odin and my rom was rooted with cwm and from there i flashed abyss 4.2. By doing this i got yellow triangle which i got rid of by installing ics rom and triangle away app
what does non wipe mean?
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
Means it will install on top of your current rom without resetting all youre data and apps.
please hit thanks if i helped
ok so your saying i can flash a prerooted rom of the same type, over my current and hopefully end up with no setting up?

Hi friends, I have a galaxy note that I bought in the netherlands. it was full of bloatware. so I used odin and flashed a KL7 on it, it was nice... later on I flashed a KL8 on it.
I was watching porn the other day, and I noticed that I couldn't raise the volume of the movie because my S-Pen\finger cannot touch the edges of the screen, as if something went wrong (I cannot completely approve that it wasn't like this before the new firmwares). and also these new kernels not showing up on any official website is kinda weird you know?
so my questions are:
how do I install a customized firmware? like rocket rom abyss kernel and etc? I find it really hard to spot a proper guide over here. its like this forum only accepts experts and not new people who have no prior experience.
can I install the rocket rom on my current firmware? or do I need to root\ do some things first?
thanks in advance
Yes, you have to root first and flash CWR Clockwork recovery.
In development section you will find the proper threads.

I was on gingerbread
i decided to try stunner 5 and lost root in the process like many did
there was a new thread started in the dev section that showed how to revert back to a rooted gingerbread stock rom using odin pc version
it looks like the thread was removed as to many bricks being reported
i flashed to stunner 1.4.19
once again i lost root
ive been doing some reading and im quite lost as to what direction ill have to take to get root
any suggestions or help?
If I were you I would try to get back to a stock GB ROM. Using a PC odin. Just make sure the ROM is non wipe version.
And from there start all over again.
Title made me chuckle hehe

Hi people.
I haven't visited the site in a long time and i just noticed that ICS is out.
So i am trying to figure out how to install it.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance
just forget it for now, there's lots of bug with the rom (leaked rom and official rom)
stay with GB for now
Ok, noted, but i was more wondering about the procedure.
It doesn't look like an easy straightforward procedure.
How would one go about installing ICS?
Once oficial ICS is out in your country for your carrier you simply plug youre Note into PC and use the instal wizard on Kies. It will do it for you nice and simple.
Thank you very much for your swift answers.
If you are on GB stock, just flash this ROM with mobile odin (safer!), check everroot and all (although I still didn't get root), and should be good BUT I say stay away.. It's not good and not radically different from GB.. If you flash anyway, STAY AWAY FROM LPY KERNEL.
If you're on any custom ROM, downgrade to stock GB and follow the procedure..
BUT DON'T FLASH IT.. I flashed it twice and luckily enough, I could come back to GB but you might not..

Okay, i have only 1000000 questions!
What does "flash" mean exactly? In my mind it sounds like changing firmware, am i close?
what does mobile odin do?
Is LPY kernel and LPY firmware the same thing?(as in because they are indivisible)
Why stay away from LPY kernel?
I have never tampered with my note since i bought it, i find no reason to since my phone covers all my needs, and thus i didn't familiarize myself with the terms or the procedures. For all intents and purposes you should explain it to me as if i was a 5 year old!
I understand that most probably you won't really take the time to explain these things to me, so i could use a central platform that can provide the answers to these questions in a straightforward manner without having to lurk here on the forums for a 1000 years.
Please if you know of such a place provide me with a link.
Here is a centralized link, it's been my best friend in getting answers:
Forum Search
Edit: If you have not messed with your phone, why would you even consider doing it with a rom that could potentially brick your device completely. If the juice isn't worth the squeeze, don't even attempt. If you want to learn, root with a GB rom, and for that follow Dr. Ketans thread, very easy to follow with pictures, and although you said explain it like I would to a 5 year old, I apologize in advance that the pictures aren't popup

Should answer most of your questions..
Anyways, yeah flashing means changing firmware but it could also refer to a kernel (read through the link) or anything really, even a theme.
Odin is a program used to flash various firmwares, kernels, etc for samsung devices. There's PC Odin and then there's mobile odin. Mobile Odin can be used to 'flash' just about anything, be it a stock ROM or kernel or a custom ROM.. By using mobile odin you don't get the yellow triangle too.. Which is used by samsung to detect whether the phone has been messed up with or not.. It's pretty easy to get one but it's easier not to get one if you know what you are doing.. Just read the thread above and your most questions will be answered.. Read the wiki on GN note too..

And I would suggest you to first get a hold of changing ROMs before jumping to ICS. There are various GB custom ROMs available. Try flashing them..

I posted this question back in early october and no correct answers were given and thread was deleted. so here it goes again. I updated from stock hc to official stock ics through kies i guess? whichever is through the settings - check for updates on the tab. i then asked how to root to jb and people tried telling me one way and then others said no dont do it that way since im running stock official ics. i dont know what odin is, i dont know what flashing is and i dont know what kernels are. i would please like simple simple step by step instructions on how to root to the latest AOKP jb from official ics. i am sorry for the edginess but im just so frustrated i bought this tab and paid 330 for it in sept and I wish I would have waited. this tab is just to slow and id like the extra speed and features from jb as well as an option to oc the processor. $70 more and two months of waiting i could have got the nexus 10 .. oh and i have the wifi only 7310. PLEASE HELP!!
Read the stickies, they'll tell you what to do.

i have been searching stickies for hours, none of it makes sense to me thats why i am asking for simple instructions. Everyone who knows all tnis stuff post things assuming that everyone knows all the jargon, i am a tech noob. Debating on selling this thing if i cant get jb. what do you think a 32 gb 7310 only two months old aind in mint condition with a nice moto $40 leather case could fetch? lol again sorry for soundimg like an ass im just frustrated
I have a tab i957. It wasn't the easiest to get jb on. Which tab do you have?
The first thing you need is Odin. Google Odin 3 ver 1.85.
Then you'll need to flash a recovery, either twrp or clock work mod, make sure it's specific to the tab you have. you flash it with Odin
Then you'll need to down load a jb Rom on to your device,again make sure it's for your device. Then you flash it through the recovery.
The stickies will have more specific info. There are no simple steps. You have to learn by reading and trying.

You dont have to use Odin with the latest roms! do you?
Not to flash the Rom, only to get clockwork or twrp recovery on the device. The Rom is flashed thru the recovery.

Hello guys I just sold my 4S and bought this Note 1 , anyway im new to android flashing and this stuff , ive heard that its way different than iOS restoring which is really easy and simple. Right now i got a few questions , If i missed a step or did something wrong it'll render my device unusable ofcourse , but will it be unrecoverable ? Thats the first thing. Second thing is that is it recommended that i install custom roms? right now i need one's with the Water Ripple effects on lockscreens , or if you can just tell me how to install the effect without custom rom's that'll be helpful because i want to flash official 4.1.2 jelly bean first and then the lockscreen effect. Im just new to the Android stuff and i dont know where to start Same feeling back in 2008 when i bought my first iPhone and got confused n' all
Read around for awhile, its what got me started when I first came here.
Again, read, read read, and avoid asking questions which have been answered countless times its annoying really.

I dont really get anything , extract till tar what does that mean?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
If you just install stock official 4.1.2 rom via odin, it should come with the ripple effect.
Or if the update is already available in your country, you can just update it to the latest official rom via kies.

You'll notice that all of the download links are zip files.
You just need to extract the zip file until you find the .tar file.
Get 7-zip if you don't already have an archive reader.
Help with kernel
So recently I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note GTN7000 and flash it with franco kernel, then when I turned on my phone the bluetooth is not working and it constantly crashes and get stuck (The screen just go green and pink like an old TV with bad signal). So I panicked and unroot it immidiately. But that didnt seem to solve the problem.
So my question is, can I flash it with the original kernel. If so how? and where can I get it. can you teach me. (NOOB REQUEST )
just flash the stock rom again... using PC odin
Alright guys thanks for the reply , i heard theres a way you cab install roms without pc since i just want to install official 4.1.2 , ill do some research

Yep, there's a way to install roms without PC, using mobile Odin, but before that you should have your phone been rooted first.
Well i can upgrade with PC but im kinda afraid .. All i want is just updating to jelly bean official on my note , I searched for about 2 days and learned how its being done but while searching i came to posts showing people crying cause they got their phone bricked cause of kernel blah blah , i also saw at the end of the installation guides that it will get my phone in a boot loop or stuck at samsung logo and im not sure xD i just want to update and im taking it seriously cause i dont want to brick my phone .. If someone can walk me through step by step id be thankful , we can use skype or something xD

Wait a few minutes. Let me get on my PC and I'll give you step-by-step instructions.
Now, do this:
Since you're scared, we'll do this the safest way possible
1.)Download a stock GB rom from here.(You can always come back to this ROM if you run into any trouble).Flash it via PC Odin.
2.)Wipe data and cache from recovery (Press Vol Up+Power+Home when phone is off in order to boot to recovery)
3.)Download stock JB rom from here.Flash it via PC Odin.
OR
1.)Update using Kies.
You're done
Alright ill do this when i get home , hehe thanks man ill update this thread if i get into any trouble

Yes, then you'll have gingerbread. Don't forget to wipe after installing gingerbread.
It may brick. Not definite that it will brick. Still, better safe than sorry. Never wipe on stock ICS kernel!
