[Q] lot of confusion. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.. I am running xxlq2 ics rom now.. But i want to install custom rom (cant resist the temptation!!) now but as i read few forums and all suggested to downgrade to GB rom first, root it ( because gb kernel is safe to play with) and then install custom rom as ics kernel has bug which can brick the note.
So first i will flash KL3 for india nonwipe ( directy rootable by zerg) version by pc odin and root by zerg exploit.. So will it increase my flash counter and give me yellow triangle on bootscreen?? Okay after that i will flash custom ics rom and use triangle away to remove triangle??will it remove the triangle?
After installing custom ics rom if i do factory reset from settings And not from recovery so will is brick my device??
Again after all this if i want to flash stock xxlq2 via pc odin will it give me an error during flashing?? It of course will unroot my device i am well aware of that..
Hope someone with good knowledge could clear my doubts.. :-/
Need help..

Don`t ever wipe or do a reset in ICS unless you have a safe kernel. You can also brick your phone with stock kernels.
Flashing firmware with Odin does not increase the flash counter or show a yellow triangle, only custom roms/kernels flashed from your pc will do that.

how to go back to Stock GB from CM9?

I want to revert back to Stock GB from CM9. .Can i flash with mobile Odin??
flashing with Pc odin gives yellow triangle. .I dont want to that
It is not flashing with Odin that gives the red triangle. It is rooting your phone that does it. I used Odin to get rid of the red triangle (though the phone obviously still retains it's custom binary count)
I just downloaded the following ROM and flashed it with ODIN -
N7000XXLC1---------2.3.6-------2012 March----------N7000OXALC1-----------Open Europe----------------------------- Download (wipe)
I lost the triangle, lost root and gained a stock Galaxy Note.
Flashing stock Roms using PC Odin never gives you the triangle. Flashing custom kernels, Roms does.

Just as he said.. but if don't wana use Odin at all..then download the custom gb rom you want and download abyss3.9 kernel in your SD card..den do the following steps..
1.. go to recovery
2.. flash abyss kernel 3,9..
3.. don't reboot system...DONT...!!..
4.. go to advanced and select reboot recovery.. you will then reboot to abyss cwm recovery
5.. flash the gb rom you just downloaded..and reboot..
Okay first of all, flashing ANY STOCK ROM with PC Odin won't increase your binary counter, i.e. no yellow triangles.
Flashing ANYTHING (ROM obviously) with Mobile Odin won't give you the yellow triangle. Flashing non-stock or custom ROM with PC Odin will increase your binary counter.
So, just download any stock GB ROM from the development section and flash it with PC Odin. Simple!
I'm on Stock GB and wanna try CM9 ICS & other ICS roms... I know i have to flash Chainfire repack first, but which..?! There are more than one version...

Flash it with Mobile Odin (Pro recommended) keeping all the options of Everroot checked. DONT flash with PC odin ...u wont get root if you do that.
Reboot and let the rom settle. Then go to recovery and then flash Stunner or any other ics rom you want.
Cheers! Enjoy your Note.
Hit thanks if it helped
I'm late in the discussion but this topic interests me.
But why can't you just restore Nandroid back using CWM from your GingerBread backup Nandroid?
(you did Nandroid your previous GB rom before you went to ICS, correct?)

[Q] How to downgrade from official ICS to GB safely

Hello guys
Since warnings about N7000XXLPY ICS kernel risks of hardbrick galaxy note i suppose that's a lot of people like me who installed last ICS 4.0.3 want to go back to GB but are affraid to do it to avoid geting theire Note dead.
I asked the question but no answer i just found this video explaining how to do it ,The problem is that it is a downgrade from an UNOFICIAL ICS rom to GB.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3DDEh8vyc&feature=plcp
STEPS : 1- go to recovery mode ( even it's not recommended to do anything with cwm with lpy kernel )
2- flash abyss kernel 4.2 final (browse zip )
3- reboot recovery
4- Wipe all- reset factory
5- always in cwm, browse GB rom and flash it
6- Reboot system
My question is : can we use the same way to go back to gb from official stock ics 4.0.3 SAFELY ? We have not many times to do it, may be we have one chance to do it right or we get the galaxy note bricked so plz any help will be appreciated .
Thanks
I have restored stock GB from stock German ICS twice with PC Odin. I had flashed the ICS ROM through mobile odin over a rooted stock GB ROM. I just flashed the ROM and NOT the LPY kernel. Had neither the root nor CWM.
I simply used PC Odin to downgrade without no problems.

want to downgrade

hi
I lost my last sgn after super brick
now i m want to downgrade my phone from ics 4.0.4 to gb
i have not root my phone (fear from BRICK)
is it safe to flash gb rom (from ics) via pc odin
i want paranoid rom to flash (is it safe to install via CWM?)
if i want to come back on gb then my phone not bricked
one more q : when i install paranoid then i recover som space on hard disc ? ( because gb is 650 mb+ and paranod jelly bean is only <300 mb)
Simply flash pre rooted ROM from my signature with PC odin
After successfull flashing, wipe cache,delvic cache and data.
Then follow instruction on paranandroid ROM thread.
You cant manipulate system ROM space..

If u want flash paranoid u must rooted...

So,root ur note using cf root or other custom rom like notecore or speedmod using pc odin n flash custom kernel gb like abyss kernel..
Do full wipe on abyss kernel..
N flash paranoid..

dr.ketan, my note is on stock ics no roms/root or anything pure sotck, wanted to go back to GB
i have the tar file for N7000JPLA1_N7000OJPLA1_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar
will flashing via pc odin cause a brick ? and will the emmc fault still remain ?
Jpla1 is gb rom, you can flash with pc odin, after flashing you may find force close, but nothing to worry Reboot in recovery and wipe cache and data.
Once you are on gb rom no issue of brickbug.

thanks,
sotck ics lags a lot and when i went to ssc they advised me they dont have currently the old rom so they told me to wait for an update to fix ics which i dont think i will go back to (for the time being)
i was worried that flashing the GB stock over the ics might brick the phone using pc odin so thx for your support
will install via pc odin then reboot in recovery (power up + home + power) factory reset after the gb kernel installs
hopefully get this big screen running again

My question: I have a SGN infected with the eMMC bug, and I want to upgrade it to the latest stock ROM. I know very little about flashing, and I know there are some risks when doing some things. I would like to know if the first link is safe for me, and which ROM I should use of the ones listed there (I live in The Netherlands). Do you guys have any tips or some guides made for the noobs among us?
that 1st link is the safest and best.
download the rom of. your choice. It. doesn't need to be of. your region. although you can check the latest firmware on www.samfirmware.com....
Once downloaded, use pc odin with the downloaded rom tar.md5 file selected in the pda tab. The connect the phone to pc in download mode and press start.
If you are upgrading to ics, then do not do any wipes, first flash a safe kernel...

Thanks for replying. Good to know that that thread is safe, but what do you mean by flashing a safe kernel? Those terms mean nothing to me.
theres two way to flash ROM. 1 is using PC ODIN and the other one is CWM
Flashing Via PC ODIN .. you need to have two thing.. The Rom You Want to flash and the PC-ODIN software
Flashing Via CWM.. you need two things. You need to root your phone and you need to install CWM.
every rom comes with modem, kernel (the file that govern how to handle your phone cpu), csc... the kernel inside ics is known to have brickbug
theres no need to flash kernel if you are flashing Rom via PC ODIN... Flashing kernel is when you are using CWM....

So, I can just flash any ROM using ODIN, and there will be no risk bricking my device?
If I flash a ROM, will I have a fresh install, and will my kernel also change so that I don't have the brickbug anymore?

yes you can flash any ROM using ODIN safely without bricking your device.
yes you will have a fresh install. your kernel will change too. as for the brickbug....
If you flash via PC ODIN then everything is stock to what you flashed.the kernel the firmware the csc the modem..all as stock provided....
1.If you flash ICS via PC-ODIN then your kernel also would be stock ics kernel that has brickbug..
Warning :
Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM
let say you want to flash Latest JB Rom but you are on ICS stock.
first thing you need to do is root your device ...install CWM.. Flash safe kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
let say ive rooted... installed CWM with safe kernel...
what i always do is everytime i want to flash new rom whatever rom it is...i flash Speedmod 3-15 (safe kernel) and go to Advance>reboot recovery and flash any rom i want so that im on the safe side without worrying what kernel im on.
2.If you flash GB than your kernel will be GB kernel which is safe to wipe..
if you want to flash custom rom from gb then you root your device and installed CWM and Flash since GB kernel is safe.
but.. let say u flashed ICS and wanted to go back to GB. then you are not safe anymore,,, that is why i always flashed Speedmod kernel 3-15 (safe kernel) and reboot recovery (by going to advance>rebootrecovery) and flashed any rom... that way im always sure that im in safe kernel when flashing Rom
