Mix & match stock ICS kernels? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I am are running a stock ICS rom, can I change the kernel to a different stock kernel?
eg. If I am running the XXLPF rom, will it still work if I flash just the XXLQ2 kernel?

Yes, it will work. Just make sure you use an ICS kernel, or you'll face a bootloop. If you do, somehow, face a bootloop after accidentally flashing a GB kernel, just flash an ICS kernel via odin.

Thanks i just tested it and it works

How to installs CWM?

Hi Guys,
I'm on stock rooted ICS LPY with Franco #3 ICS kernel.I would need your guidance on how to install CWM recovery.thanks!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Hi Guys,I was quite surprise that cwm recovery is already installed.can someone enlighten me?I was previously using Motorola Atrix and it was different.just hope to understand more on SGN.

Kernels nearly always contain CWM Recovery, so when you flash a kernel, you get the CWMR as well.
Thanks for your reply!you have really brighten my knowledge on SGN.

are kernels ICS and/or GB compatible only or can we flash any kernel on any rom ?
"are kernels ICS and/or GB compatible only or can we flash any kernel on any rom ? "
Nope. ICS kernels only work on ICS roms and vice versa for GB kernels.

Ics/gb dont wanna kill wifes note!!

Hello forum, well the wife at the moment is on gingerbread, but she was on ics which i put back to gb using pc odin..
We also have the thing with brickbug too
We want to go to a ics custom rom instead of ics stock we had originally....
Are all ics kernals with the bug or is it just stock kernal???
Correct way to clear old stuff on phone? I did clear phone using mount/storage area (was this okay???)
Thank you for any help!!!

It's only the stock kernel which has this brick bug, if you flash a safe kernel you will be fine and can safely do a full wipe.
I would recommend trying cleanote rom and kernel its very smooth and fast and stable and is close to stock.
Start by upgrading to ics again and then flashing speedmod kernel in odin

Eventhough the brick bug scripts are disabled in many kernels it would be preferably safe to always flash abyss kernel 4.2 before a wipe. You have nothing to lose spending a few minutes more. So time to time before switching between roms and doing wipes think and re-think. be safe. :angel:

[Q] sbl.bin file on stock

I've had flashed STOCK LQ3 and on that flashed CleaNote v3 (Custom 4.0.4)
I also notice that inside the stock LRG there is the sbl.bin file and it is the only file that not exist on the 4.0.3 LQ3 stock
I'd like to know whether it is important to flash this LRG stock to have the sbl file, is it important?
Over all I'm satisfied with my note and all is working well at the moment without it ....
Sbl is bootloader flash. Its recommended to flash if say going from gb to ics. But i did n9t flash it going from 4.0.3 to.04 and all is good
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well that's exactly what I did therefore I'm asking for its (SBL file) relevant
Is your phone working ok without glitch then no do t flash it. If u have atuff not working then flash it
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
all works great for me. to flash this sbl means to reflashing stock ROM again and kernels for root and custom ROM. I don't want to do the whole process again.

Notecore is not a ROM, it is kernel . And as long as you are on safe ICS or CM kernel, no need to flash Abyss kernel. You can wipe/flash roms on safe ICS kernels, make sure to read the selected rom OP before flashing it.
opps...my bad, i mean cleannote rom. the.problem is he is not in safe kernel, he is using stunner 1.4.19 version which is not safe. i knw can flash abyss then flash some other safe rom..say if he wan to flash cm9/cleannote, after fullwipe under abyss recovery, can he flash either 1? again, thanks for replying.

Yes, if he is not on safe kernel then using Abyss kernel is good, you can flash any custom rom once you are on safe kernel.
But the best you can do is to flash pre-rooted GB rom using odin and then flash whatever rom you want.
yea..but him wanted to flash abyss then flash other rom..doesnt wanna go bk GB to start all over again...

All roms other than created by OEMs (Samsung in this case) are custom hence cleannote and all other CM, AOKP, MIUI and TW based roms modified by XDA developers are custom
Flashin stock GB is best method, you can also use abyss kernel and flash other roms using cwm recovery.
Yes but no need to flash abyss kernel you can just flash first notecore v14 or speedmode kernel then flash to your preferred custom rom.

wow...tats new to me...meaning after flashed a safe kernel (notecore/speedmode) from unsafe kernel(stunner) then i can flash my preffered rom(cm9/miui/cleannote,etc)...can skip abyss, ok thanks guys. but speedmod/notecore flash directly from stunner cwm recovery?

Right, I already told him as long as he is on safe ICS custom kernels he is good to flash any rom, but he is familiar with abyss kernel and if comfortable using it then it's good to use abyss kernel as well. Moreover he is not on safe kernel and has to flash that as well, so it's just a matter of choice using custom ICS or Abyss
Yes, these kernels are also available in cwm flashable .zip files as well, so you can flash them using cwm recovery too.
thanks a lot guys..i will tell my fren then let him choose which way he wat to use.:thumbup:

edit: my fren did this--> flash abyss, reboot recovery, fullwipe, flash alliance rom(latest), reboot. Everything is fine now. Thanks.

[Q] Stock ROM the best ?

Hello, Im on jellybam and I get games little laggy. I done full instal, full wipes, full formats. Everything is clean. And I heard that ICS stock ROM is for best performance and games running very smooth. Is that true? If yes, which one Stock rom I have to install. Im from Lithuania, East Europe. Do I need first downgrade to GB and then write ICS? Or easiest way would be flash GB and try upgrading vie Kies?
I was on JellyBam and have went back to a stock-based rom, but I installed Sammy stock roms first. The process is simple...
1) Download GingerBread rom for your model from here
2) Get Odin, and follow the instructions on the thread to flash GB.
3) You can now either download a stock ICS rom from that thread, or do an OTA update, it's up to you. Using Odin will not increase the counter as it is an official rom.
4) Flash ICS using Odin/OTA
5) DO NOT WIPE ON ICS UNLESS USING A SAFE KERNEL. Personally, I'd go for Philz kernel, so download it and follow the instructions on that thread.
All you need to make sure is to be on a safe kernel whilst on ics. So you can flash ics using odin and the install a safe kernel and do a reset to get going.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Ok, so I need go to GB, then ICS and then to safe kernel, yes? And when I flash safe kernel then I should do full wipe and flash ROM again or just wipe?
Load the rom you want on pc and the corresponding philz kernel to ext sd
You can install ics using pc odin
Once it's done, boot into recovery and install philz kernel and then boot into recovery again and do a factory reset.

Ok, I try it tommorow
philz kernel is better or speedMod is better for performance?
Philz is Samsung Kernel. No tweaks. If you want good battery the speedmod performance then try hydracore

I looking for stock ICS and I found only One ICS for Baltic region N7000XXLQ3 and there is no philz kernel that is near XXLQ3 , so what to do? I tried KIES but it just showing rotation CONECTING... and nothing happpening, i reinstalled drivers, but still nothing.
As far ics is concerned, most of the ics kernels work with any rom. So worth a try

Download the stock rom you want from the link you were provided above and download the philz kernel for that firmware and flash them in mobile odin. You don't need to flash the kernel after the firmware has been flashed. With mobile Odin you can do it all in just one step.

Well, you can flash kernel at the same time you flash the firmware in mobile Odin by selecting kernel in that option. Your build last three letters have to match the kernel version...check philz thread that is explained in,detail there.

for Baltic is only this one N7000XXLQ3---4.0.3/12.06---N7000OXXLP7---Download---Baltic
Also I cant connect via KIES to get upgrade from GB... Its stuck on connecting... Maybe there is no way for baltic countries to get ICS? :/
I found on samfirmwares.com ICS 4.0.4 for Baltics. PDA is N7000XXLRI , CSC N7000OXXLP9 . So witch one of philz kernels I should donwload?
There is some kernels with XXLRK , XXLRU, XXLRL, XXLRW. So which one?
You can use any regions rom. Does not matter.
