Can I install a Custom Kernel on an unrooted Note?

Hi guys,
I wonder if this is possible.. and forgive me if this has been asked before... but
can I install a custom kernel on my Note?
The Kernel version is DXLC2 and its not yet rooted.. Can I install, say Franco's kernel, or SpeedMod thru Recovery Mode ? (copying the zip kernel in the internal SD of my phone)
Would that be possible w/o root?
TIA

No. You should be rooted..................

Maybe you can try first and let us know the result. Like myth-buster, you know..

No, you cannot..
Not "you should be rooted", or "try it". You must be rooted. period.
In the first instance i suggest you spend some time reading threads about Android and rooting and flashing.

ok thanks.. much appreciated

No u cannot.....
Xperian using xda app

Well.. that answers it.. I appreciate all your answers guys... I thought I could just leave my warranty intact while flashing on a custom kernel.. but I guess, that's not the case then.. I really need to root my Note and then flash custom kernel away...
Guess you can't have the best of both worlds...
anyway.. again..thanks to all.....

I would say you can do that. I tried it before with my unrooted LA1. The problem is with unrooted phone you can't flash custom kernel with CWM or Mobile Odin because these require root. The only option you have is PC Odin. It WILL work, but it will invoke yellow triangle and increase custom binary counter.

You have to be rooted. Period !!
Also :-
Read the Stickies in the Development section and follow the methods there to the dot and you can save yourself from the yellow triangle and increasing the binary counter. And later anytime can restore it back to stock just in case the situation arises of sending you phone to samsung !!
Cheers!
Hit thanks if it helped!

best way to use triangle away

hi guys,
as of now which is the best working scenario to use Triangle Away (1.51 0r 1.70 ) from ?
4.0.3/ 4.0.4, stock-rooted or custom rom and which ics kernel ?
ps- the app throws up so many warnings it scares the hell out of me !
thanks
oops sorry (should be in question/answer forum )

Latest is working with stock ICS
Install application - open it - it will ask to download some progrramme (flasher) - let it download - select to reset counter - it will reboot in special recovery and finish job.
PS : I recommend this tool shud be use as last resort, anything flash with PC odin(when other option available) is not a good habit. i have seen many time user brick device and didn't get chance to use TA, TA works only if your device is live.

thank you doctor ketan,
everyday the scene at the forum (or our understanding) of it changes.....
In the alliance rom thread they said no matter how high your counter is you have triangle away to reset on ics.
Pc odin is the safest way to flash.
people started doubting mobile odin !
its only now that again experts are saying the ics safe kernels are really safe
sorry for my confusion

Obviously Triangle away can reset any number of counter, but just i have shown you condition. If some procedure brick your device when your counter is already raised, then it really creates problem to you, as TA works only device is live.
Thats Y i said you should select alternate way(if any) which doesn't raise counter.
- PC odin is safest way to flash and this is for stock stuffs.
-Mobile odin also proven safe tool, but each tools having its own pron & cons, but i have not seen any case which shows mobile odin is unsafe.
-I dont understan this 'its only now that again experts are saying the ics safe kernels are really safe' - indeed experts since begining saying safe kernel are safer.

yes, doc, again thanks.
i picked up from criskelos thread and other posts we can safely use speedmod and notecore for flashing roms.....that we dont have to go back to gingerbread all the time or use abyss recovery...

i moved from ios.....but....

Hello forum
last night i got a galaxy note and finally made my move from ios. I could not resist the gorgeous display. I had been using ios since early days with jbreak ofc.
Now my friend installed a custom rom for me Criskelo on ICS 4.0.4 or smthg like that. I freaking hate it its laggy and buggy and i dont know why battery drains like crazy.
I really want to rwmove this os and hard reset and go back to the "out of the box" ICS 4.0.4. Please if uou know of any step by step guide kindly lik it here. I am starting to hate android and mias the stability of my ios so much but i really hope its because this rom is buggy and would like to give android another chance. Thanks a lot team..

Thanks i went through this but didnt understand everything i am completely new ro android so all these terms i am not familiar with.

Download Samsung kies and install it to get drivers
Download Odin(you can find it all around the forum)
Download latest stock ics(android 4.0.4) from www.sammobile.com extract it (its zipped) (firmware section search for n7000)
Put your phone in Odin mode volume down+power+home buttons all together
Once you get the warning press volume up to enter odin mode
Make sure kies its closed and connect your phone to the pc and wait until all the drivers gets installed
After that open odin and do not change any check box
Make sure a yellow block turns on in the top left corner of odin indicating it recognizes your phone
Press PDA and put there the file you downloaded (and extracted) from sammobile.com
Press start and that's it.. Wait until it finishes and you will have a full stock phone
Edit: Hey make sure that you have at least 50% battery before you go through this

The latest android now is ice cream sandwich(4.03&4.04). It has a bug, when you performed a factory reset, recovery data wipe, and nandroid( backup&restore ) it will corrupt your pit files and the result is they called superbrick, the only remedy is to replace your mobile board.
The only safe solution for it now is to flash safe custom kernel( the stock rom has a stock kernel inside) like speedmod k3-12, notecore v12, and goku to be safe from doing factory reset, recovery data wipe, and nandroid ( backup&restore ).

If your in stock rom there is less percentage of brick, but still your in danger. Before i dont believed just like you that stock rom is susceptible of being brick, then i read some brick there note on stock rom, i change my mind.
I dont spread fear, it is documented here in xda. Better safe than sorry.

It might not sound right, and I understand you are new, but just like learning a new skill, rooting any Android device requires some amount of self-reading. People are helpful here but if you know the basics, you will be in a much better position to decide what's good for you and understand the instructions.
Android inherently treats all processes, including the touch interface, with the same priority. iOS treats the touch interface as a priority process, so Android might feel a tad laggy, but the benefits of using an Android device are way more than using iOS, which you can realize only after using the Note for around a month.
One of my friends switched to the Note from an iPhone, after using her iPhone since the first one, and she is enjoying the Note, as are many.
Criskelo's ROM is actually one of the fastest and most stable on this ROM, so it seems you have some unusual issue that's ruining your experience. Always try watching a video on YouTube of the ROM you are considering to flash, so you know how it looks and feels before flashing.

THanks for the info , yes I was told that Criskelo is the fastest and most stable but I dont know why for some reason it feels very laggy and drains battery like crazy. So I thought that maybe going back to stock ICS would solve the issue.
Lets say I want to keep Criskelo ... can I just go to Back up and Reset and Factory resset the phone ? is it safe? i dont care about the data and apps , ill have everything backed up and i can download again manually. but that might solve my lagging issues?

It's safe from safe kernels lol.. Why don't you flash notecore, then factory reset?.. Notecore its a hell fast kernel and with over clocked version I'm getting 15/16 hours with 4/5 hours screen time.. And yeah notecore its a safe kernel
If you want a nice experience with your note I really encourage you to buy for a couple of bucks mobile odin.. Will make your life hell easier and safer
With mobile odin pro you can change custom kernels like changing your underwear without risking your phone and allowing you to try custom kernels with no yellow triangle.. Notecore and speedmod are the main kernels for tw roms
You can flash notecore and speedmod from cwm too though but for that you need custom recovery and a safe kernel wich criskelo already provided to your phone..
You gotta read a lot hehe

I think I already have notecore ?
http://i46.tinypic.com/6yhdlv.png
ur right i certainly need to read a lot and i thought jailbreaking an iphone was a pain !!!
So is it safe for me to factory reset now ? It looks like I have NOtecore and CriskleROM v11
ALso for some reason Kies wont detect my GN in USB form.
I looked everywhere, tried reinstalling a zillion time, it wont do

Once you learn the basics you are good to go.. Erm yes you have notecore.. Download the latest release from his thread its v12 and yeah you are safe to perform a factory reset on your phone
Forget about kies on cuustom roms.. You only need it for drivers but nothing else... Heck not even being stock you need kies.. And if you want kies to detect your phone you gotta go settings/development /enable usb debugging
Edit: you need enable debugging

Help! New Galaxy Note user, Custom ROM

Hi, Guys!
Yesterday i bought a SH Galaxy Note, in a minty condition.
Like my S3, i want to put a modern Custom ROM, on it, and install CWM Recovery, but i find hard to gather all the informations. I was searching the internet, and i found that the Galaxy Note, is very vulnerable to soft/hard bricks.
Help me install CWM Recovery Touch and a Jelly Bean based Custom ROM. I don't want to brick my new Note, especially that i don't have a USB JIG.
Please recommend me a good Custom ROM (yes... i know there isn't a "PERFECT" ROM, but i am new to Note, and searching for a ROM, that is like FoxHound 1.4 on Galaxy S III.)
Thanks button to every one that can help me!
Cheers!

What's a SH Galaxy Note?
Post a screenshot of Settings/About phone here first, you don't want to brick in your first attempt to flash something that is not meant for your device.
Also, do not post questions in General forum in future. Q&A forum was created exclusively for that purpose.

Sorry for that... maybe a moderator could help me? Please?
SH = second hand, it's not new.
Android Version = 4.0.4
Baseband = N7000XXLRB
Build Nr. =IMM76D.XXLRI
Kernel Version = 3.0.15 - N7000XXLRI-CL811902/[email protected]#3

Download xxlri philz kernel and install it from stock recovery. It will root you device and install cwm and is a safe kernel. Then you are good to try all other new roms.
Try paranoid android or black cna or rocket rom or sweetrom v1

Hi!
Thank you for the help, but i have a problem.
My stock recovery, doesn't have the function to install from phone SD, and for my shame... i don't have any MicroSD cards in my house.
Is there any way to install that thing without bricking the phone?

you can also flash it using pc Odin. but that will give you a yellow triangle and increase the counter. later you can use triangle away app to reset it

Ok... no problem if Triangle Away can reset the counter for N7000. But is there any risk when using Triangle Away?
Why does my recovery have so less functions?

That's android recovery 3e. its not you.
There,s always a risk in everything you do. even flashing roms. Triangle away has been used by loads or people.

Install a safe kernel if your phone is running on ics. ICS is dangerous that can brick your device if you done any small mistake.
For triangle away, just download it and run. Follow the instructions and it will be reset.
I got mine reset
ONLY TRIANGLE IT WHEN YOU ARE ROOTED. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU USE IT ON UNROOTED PHONES.
rerunning the application will not brick your phone

Ok, thanks very much guys, but right now i have another problem...
I used my phone until it dropped under 1%, and when i put it on the AC, it stayed about 5-8 sec, and showed a green battery with a yellow triangle near it, and it doesn't show signs of charging.
I didn't started flashing it... it's all stock. All i did, i used it until it auto-shutdown itself. What can i do?

remove the battery and put it back. charge for a while in off condition before you on

Never mind, it started charging after 10 minutes... Maybe it was too hot, or the voltage dropped down too much.
Tomorrow i'll start flashing the Kernel.

Remember to charge til at least 75% before flashing. You would not want your phone to be bricked right ?
Remember to hit the like button if works.

Ok, thanks again.
I flash it with Odin, right now. The CWM Recovery works great, but i can't see any root aplication.
I don't see SuperSU or SuperUser. Where can i download SuperSU for example? This kernel was supposed to root me too, right?

Sorry for double post, but i can't edit the last one...
What ROM should i choose? I mean, I'm still confused... i flashed that Kernel, recommended by @Nokiamodeln91, but what ROM should i choose? I want the phone to be more fluent, OC/UV possibilities, Galaxy Note specific apps included, and AROMA installer in the ROM.
What can you guys recommend me?
Thanks to everyone!

If u flash philz kernel as suggested by nokia, u shld be able to get cwmr + supersu installed.
And if u download the flashable zip, u can just flash it through stock recovery. No odin required.

Triangle Away

Does Triangle Away work on SIII mini for reset flash counter to NO?

only custom ROM`s
No that`s if you only Flash custom ROM`s or kernels. You don`t need it if you only use Samsung official firmware`s. Hope that help`s.

Since Triangle Away is useful only after flashing custom ROMs or kernels and there aren't any for our device yet, I don't know how we could even test this now.
Even so, in my opinion, it won't support our phone. It's pretty clear that the S3 Mini won't have a huge user base, so there won't be any pressure to make it work. This, combined with the fact that chainfire won't release any new updates for Triangle Away means that we'll have to look for other methods.
If you want to learn more about it, check chainfire's blog post here.

A little piece of relevant info - like others suggested your bin counter wont increase if you flash custom roms (w/o kernels) . The counter rises only when you flash custom kernels via odin
