Wht i understand is you want to flash a custom ICS rom on your note.
First of all..
Get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Stick with the instructions.
After doing this you will have root+cwm installed on your lovely note.
Now download Abyss 4.2 from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424
Now download custom ics rom from android development section and put it in your phone sd card or external card.
Reboot into recovery.
Flash abyss 4.2
Go to advanced and reboot recovery.
Now you have abyss redpill recovery or touch cwm.
Do all 3 wipes. Cache, Dalvik and data.
Flash rom
Reboot system

Criskelo ICS v9 trouble
Hi,
I installed criskelo v9 on my phone just now..and titanium backup doesnt work..it says i do not have root permissions
now all my apps are on it and the phone is pretty pointless without it..
I tried installing abyssnote and franco kernel just to see if it works but the update gets stuck at "installing packages" and then reboots to system to the earlier settings..
the cwm i have right now is also not the touch version and my kernel is cf-root so i do not know if i should be reflashing criskelo directly on this to check for any difference..
PLease tell me what i need to do..I am lost and could not find anything after an hour of googling

You need to get root first.. Follow this.

Then check root permissions with root explorer. Don't try to flash kernels and wipes without the instructions as this will brick your device. Just stay calm and post here. I ll try to help ya as i could.

I followed the instructions to the T.. Root permissions didnt happen..Here's what i did..
1. Downloaded CWM and busybox and placed them where he said
2. Booted into recovery and installed CWM
After this the UI didnt change to the touch UI as he indicated but was still the button UI
3. ANyway went ahead and installed busybox from the zip
Here the progress was stuck at "unmounting system" till the phone reboot itself to the system..And i still dont have root permissions as per titanium..
Where did i go wrong?

Hi, what i really want is root permission so i can use criskelo as my ROM..I was using gb (checkrom v6 with abyss) till now and thought of upgrading to ICS...if i get root permissions i can restore my apps using titanium and my problem wil be solved..titanium is currently saying i dont have root permissions and not restoring my apps...
Of course i will want to change kernels too to mix and match my requirements with battery life later on...
If your desire is to just get rooted, then download the Abysskernel touch zip file* : http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.zip
Saved it in your external SD card and install it using Recovery Mode
After that, your phone should restart and check after if you have SU(Superuser) and CWM installed. If you do have it.. Rest assured your phone is already rooted.

Thats where the problem is..i have tried installing that file multiple times..it gets stuck at "installing update" and reboots into the system..
Within the phone i already have CWM (as the app) in my phone but it says it cannot work coz i need cf-root v5 or newer for it to work...can i use the LRG file as given in this forum to change the kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
file name : CF-Root-SGN_XX_DBT_LRG-v5.6-CWM5 (i had chosen the LRG modem while installing criskelo v9)
Are there different kernels for ICS and GB and maybe im trying the wrong file?
Also right now all i want is the root..but i also wanna be able to rollback to gb later and try other roms as per my convenience if i dont like criskelo..so any guidance keeping that in mind for the future will b much appreciated
Thanks..

What is your current ROM now? stock DXLRG? if it is, yes you can flash that kernel on your link (using mobile odin pro). Try to check back after thru CWM if it still gives you the same message or not.
Yes, there are different kernels solely for ICS only and also solely for GB alone. Don't make a mistake in mixing a GB kernel to your ICS Rom or else your phone gets fried.

I am right now on Criskelo ICS v9..
The exact problem on my phone (id mentioned earlier too) is that its like its semi-rooted..things like cpuspy etc work..but titanium backup and moble odin dont..my main motive is to have titanium working so i can use the phone normally..
Now i see that criskelo has just launched v10.1 of the same ROM which has solved the semiroot+wifi issue..download is in progress and It wud be great to know how i can move on to that now..
Abyssnote kernel is not installing (stuck at "installing update" ) and as per my knowledge the phone isnt rooted (coz titanium backup and mobile odin dont work)..
Can i rollback to prerooted gb (i have this file: Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000DDLB2 - nonwipe gb ROM) via PC odin to initiate the whole process again under present circumstances?
Whole process here meaning *prerooted gb+abyssnote kernel+criskelo v10.1 install*..
PS - i did all wipes while installing the present ROM (if it matters)..
Yes, you have what we call it here as a semi rooted phone. Not getting all the permissions to access system files inside. It's a good thing though that Criskelo has a new version to his ROM and that should be appropriate in installing it.
Can you rollback to pre rooted GB? Yes you can. Just pick the appropriate GB ROM. And oh by the way bud, stay clear on fully wiping your phone... Remember your walking in a thin line here when your flashing Custom ICS ROMs...
Just a heads up, that's all.
Cheers!

thanks a lot for the quick response
just a final query..i dont have abyssnote on my phone now..i have whatever criskelo v9 gave me by default (i chose cf-root during install) and im semi-rooted..
Under these conditions can i go ahead with installing the prerooted gb ROM that i mentioned?
and about the heads-up (sorry im still new to flashing ) do u mean i shudnt be wiping everything when i do the flash to the prerooted gb now? (the ROM i have is a no-wipe ROM as i said earlier)

first, let's tackle your second question. If your on Criskelo ICS now, please under NO circumstances, YOU DO NOT FULLY WIPE your phone before going back to the pre rooted GB. There's a bug circulating around the forum and it's called the SUPER BRICK BUG. It'll fry your emMC chip (on your phone) thereby making it as a dead paper bag. There are countless of folks here already that have succumbed to the bug. Most have returned their dead phone back to Samsung Repair for an exchange on the motherboard. That is how deadly this bug can sting your phone.
So stay away from it. (It's better late than never, mind you)
on your first question,
Use PC Odin to downgrade to a pre rooted GB one. That's it.
Cheers!

Did you get rooted installing busybox su? I think you have partial root.
Install busybox from playstore and open it. Press install button. It should be fine.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App
to check if you are fully rooted copy and paste in root / system...install busybox that helped me on ics roms then once your fully rooted flash a safe kernel ..dafuq , speedmod etc then flash new rom . dont do any wiping til on a safe kernel and read instructions fully
@All
Thanks for the your responses
This is what i did after getting some doubts cleared over here:
I rolled back to a prerooted ODEX gb ROM..and installed rocketrom for now..gonna use it for a while and check how people are finding criskelo v10.1..Once im satisfied with that gonna go ahead with flashing it..
Thanks again :good:
Hi Guys,
After reading a lot, I think I'm set with rooting my note (N7000) - **I was used to AT&T Note, but now I have N7000.
I was so scared hard bricking this N7000 so I watched some videos, read some articles/forums etc.
I watched the video in rootgalaxynote.com and the videos I watched are the how to avoid EMMC brick and how to root Galaxy Note without PC - and I integrated them.
I currently have a fresh 4.0.3 (pure stock)
So here goes:
1) Following this guide http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-ics-on-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-no-computer-required/ he is saying to download 3 files. CMW.zip + CMW-SU version something + Franco Kernel. **I'm skipping Franco - I'll just use Abyss because I'll flash a totally different ROM anyway
2) Follow the instructions in the guide - flash CWM + CWM-Su version -- reboot then install EFS pro then backup my /efs
3) After backing up my /efs - I will reboot to stock recovery, flash CWM again + CWM-Su-version then instead of using Franco kernel, I will flash Abyss.
4) After flashing Abyss, reboot to recovery (don't reboot completely - since it is gb kernel) <- this to avoid EMMC brick
5) Flash the ICS ROM that I want
Did I miss anything?
Thanks guys!

you probably wont be able to boot on abyss, might be best to use notecore or speedmod k3 for ICS. If your phone has GB preinstalled use speedmod k2.

After step 4 its a good idea to wipe, before you do the rom installation. Sometimes you can install a rom without wipe, but sometimes it will end up with a rom not as stable as if you did. Just make sure you have installed Abyss 4.2 and REBOOTED recovery before you wipe, else you might get a nasty brick.
Also, a nandroid backup and titanium backup of user apps could be a good thing to do first =)

Damn, I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo pissed. I left this N7000 at home then my cousin went home ... then ...
My cousin (who thinks he's an Android hero) followed the flashing step suggested by zedomax (no pc required) and he said the temp touch cwm.zip flashed fine but he can't flash the other cwm zip file with supersu .. he said it says:
can’t access /emmc/
The phone still reboots fine normally, like nothing happened.
But I'm wondering if my /emmc been tampered already? Is it still safe for me to root using Desktop Odin?
What version of Desktop Odin should I use?
Lastly if worse comes to worst and this phone got bricked - I heard you can send your phone to have the JTAG thing repaired (will that fix it?)
Sorry for the questions, but it scared the hell out of me when he told me about the /emmc thing.
Thanks
well, if you read the first reply you would know about cwm.zip being risky. The link there shows a way to get root. But first.
I think you dont need to worry, cause with superbrick its likely your phone wouldnt have booted. You can check by flashing throught pc odin a stockrom/or prerooted rom as link suggests with same csc, if it gets stuck at firmwaresys its superbricked (like longer then 60 minutes and progresbar shows no progres)
just use the links in that thread, dr ketan is very thorough with info, so in first post you will find al info you need.
alternatively, with big risk, place cwm. zip on internal sd, place cwm flashable of speedmod k3 there to, flash cwm.zip, flash k3, reboot and you are root. Then install emmc brickcheck app from market and let it check your phone You will have brickbug firware, all notes do, but you probably dont have corruption on emmc chip.

Yup .. that is why I was so pissed with my cousin. I think he flashed an N7000 (his friend's) before using the temp CWM.zip method and it did work. He actually wanted to surprise me that before I got home it was already rooted.
I was actually reading the thread that the 1st reply posted and I was already decided to do it when I got home .. then I found out about his doings
Also, maybe you might know what version of Desktop Odin I should use, I don't see it on Dr. Ketan's post.
EDIT: Correction - It was Can't mount /emmc
Not - Can't access /emmc
Thanks
version 1.85 I think. He has another thread in stickyvsection development that might be of help there. Walkthrough as such

Hope to not disturb, today my Note arrived, so right now i got 4 hours with it. Impressions?!? You all know, is a great device.
So, since this morning i start reading and reading, but are alot of infos here, i lose some and i become confuse, so i will need some help in my order questions.
My build number is GINGERBREAD.XXLA6 (i understand users with it can easily brick the device), so here all my questions:
PS: Please post links too:
1- first step is to root and install cwm (how and link please), or i need to flash a new kernel to be sure my device will never be bricked (how and link please)?
2- after i flash custom kernel and install a new rom, i can make wipe all from custom recovery? After that danger situationto brick it will be forever gone?
3- i would like to unlock the sim network, it is working and it is safe?
4- i know about warranty, but i suppose i can allways go back to stock (i need stock kernel too or only rom?)
Dont know what to ask more, users who will read and write, please, write ALL STEPS, 1by1, from first to last, what i need to do, this phone was a big effort for me to buy it, without any jokes.
Thanks in advance!

As long as you are on GB kernel, you are safe to wipe.
1. Check my sig. for excellent rooting guide by Dr.Ketan (post #3 for LA6), it will help in installing cwmr too.
2. You can wipe on any of the safe custom ICS kernels (if you flash custom ICS rom) just do not wipe on stock ICS kernels.
3. check galaxy_S unlock in play store to unlock, I dont think it is unsafe to do it (except some carrier terms, may be)
4. Once you flash stock firmware you will be back to normal. flashing stock firmware will also change kernel to stock.
I would suggest read a lot before doing anything as flashing custom roms, kernels or modding always include some risk.

No prob, and by the way, why don't you simply flash pre-rooted GB rom (look for it in my sig.), it is already rooted and includes CWM recovery too. All you have to do is to just flash it and then flash any custom rom of your choice using cwm recovery.
Reason why I suggested flashing pre-rooted GB is that your rom seems to be non directly rootable and I think only option is to flash pre-rooted rom. (atleast as per my understanding)

Well i think this i`m doing.
Right now i download SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS (GB Pre rooted ROM)
After that, since that pre-rooted rom have root, i can install cwm right?
Then i want to install an custom kernel and ICS rom (i think ics 4.0.4 is the best option for now, 4.1.1 i suppose it have bugs, i saw they are started only) -> that i asked you what is the best kernel and rom so far (ics)
Hope i`m doing good steps here
Update your phone the official way ie go into settings/about phone/ and your phone should update to ics. Then flash notecores kernal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863 using odin then your good to go i personally find this rom the besthttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088 but every1 has diffrent opinions depends wat u want.

If you choose to flash pre-rooted GB rom, then no need to install cwm separately, as it already includes cwmr, you just have to choose some custom rom and flash it using cwm recovery.
I was about to suggest you the other method of updating to stock ICS first and then rooting but it will take more time and it is of no use as your end motive is to flash custom roms

Well, i will chose the method proviced by kyleastley too, seems more easy this way.
1- I will update to stock ics
2- then flash custom kernel .tar via odin
3- root and install cwm (if the custom kernel include already, dont know)
4- install custom rom (from cwm) since i can wipe after
Is ok this way?
So many questions, sorry guys }{

Step 2 u can skip as its already done (dont know about root but definatly cmw) u wil not need root anyway as u can power down phone and reeboot into recovery via 3 button trick.
May i add step 6 install triangle away from play store as it will remove the triangle At boot as u flashed a kernal using odin.
As allways read and read again as uay already know that this phone has the brick problem but if u do everything by the book u will b ok.

That's is completely fine if you want to go this way , step 1 and 2 are okay but step 3 not required as flashing custom kernel via odin will root and install cwmr. You will get yellow triangle and custom binary count by flashing custom kernel, which can be reset using triangle away. check rooting guide in my sig, once you are on stock ICS or ask here.
Checked above post after I posted mine, seems like its getting confusing here, okay so once you are on Stock ICS you have two methods to root and install cwmr,
1. once you are on stock ICS just flash some custom kernel using odin, it will root your device and flash cwmr too, then use triangle away app to remove yellow triangle and reset binary count. (method 2 in rooting guide in my sig.)
OR
2. Once you are on stock ICS, follow method 1 in rooting guide in my sig. in this you can root using stock recovery and then can flash custom kernel using mobile odin, so no yellow triangle or custom binary count.

Good you clarify me
5% left from download and then i will flash the update to ics.
let me see if i understand, after update to ics i will flash a custom kernel via odin (this will have root and cwm too), i will restart the phone and install yellow triangle and reset binary count
then i must root using stock recovery as you say and install again a custom kernel since the yellow triangle doesnt show up anymore? or you want to say i can flash custom rom since the triangle dont show up? -> confuse!

No, don't follow what you have understood so far about rooting. these are 2 different methods for root, check rooting guide in my sig. it will clear everything.
And just want to make sure, are you downloading ICS rom or are you talking about percentage in kies?

Oh OTA, that's cool , now once you are on ICS (confirm it in setting/about phone before rooting) and then check rooting guide in my sig. and follow either method one OR method 2 described in it.

No need to have root to flash custom kernel via odin, it will root it automatically.
Do you have Samsung drivers installed on your PC? If yes then try restarting your phone once again.

You don't have to remove yellow triangle to install custom rom, you can still do it. Traingle away is just to remove the yellow triangle and to reset binary count for warranty purpose. Yes, you can wipe now, as you are on safe kernel.
Download any custom rom, which you wish to install, put it in your SD, boot in CWMR , perform full wipe and then flash the rom .zip.

hi, i newly owned a brand new galaxy note for a month and now i am planning to root/flash modded rom on it.
i have had experience with flashing rom with my nokia phone and jailbreaking iphone, but doing it on android phones seem differently.i have been done reading several forum topics here, but still dont know where to start..
do i have first to root my phone or flash rom or install kernel?sorry for this newbie question but i need your ideas and knowledge upon these.what would be the best application to root and backup original data?i am planning to go for romrocket v3 by eybee.i think it was stable and smooth based on the feedbacks.
if you cant help me directly, please post some links here.i am willing to read and learn from them.thank you all in advance.
You didn't mention what rom and kernel u are on
If u are on ics, then first you need to flash a safe kernel..the stock ics kernel is not safe to wipe and flash
So flash either hydracore or philz kernel..so that u will be automatically rooted and will be on a safe kernel with cwm
Then copy the rocketrom into sdcard, go to cwm, do all wipes and flash the rom

sorry my bad..here they are:
android version 4.0.4
baseband version N7000XXLRK
kernel version 3.015-1068447
i will try that.thank you.
go ahead with your rom build version of philz kernel as this can be installed directly from the stock recovery, but hydracore can't be. Once rooted you can later change to your choice of kernel.

before flashing rr, make sure you go to mounts and storage the do

please help me, i have updated with one of phil's kernel volume up,power button,home key then after choosing the kernel from the external sd and finishes it, i tried to reboot my phone.
from there when it tries to start the boot logo it the light turns off but i can still here the booting sound of samsung.
please help me, does my phone is dead or hard bricked???i don't know what to do,im afraid to do another step that would worsen this situation.
i already installed odin if ever i needed it..please help..
You say you updated with one of philz kernels...
You should update with the right kernel eq. the LRK or
if not available, something close to that like LRI
Also don't be impatient, it could take several minutes to boot as it has to rebuild it's cache

yes i have waited to finish all the process, and now if i opened the phone the light turns of but i know it was working because if i double tap tap the home key i am hearing the svoice saying "unable to connect to server".
my kernel was LRK or LRQ. i didn't have yet wipe any data.
so you mean to say the phone is booting fine but the screen is black?
boot into recovery and explain what you see there.

and choose the method you seem comfortable in. although 1A is the best and tried and tested method
Just pick a correct kernel version for ur n7000 from philz kernel.
U can flash from stock recovery nd u dont need to think abt rooting nd CWM, as it goes in package.

This is what he tried before and ended up with a blank screen.

thank you all for the help. i am now happy with my note with rocketRom v3..i will always be thankful to all of you.
thread closed..
I have a gingerbread G.Note (the international version) since 6 month and I need to install ICS to install some applications. but I read that Stock ICS either 4.0.3 or the 4.0.4 are not safe as they may cause damage when simply resetting to factory settings or when doing other things.
I read about many custom ROMs but can't decide which is better because ROM fans always write positive review but also I found many people with negative feedback on the same ROMs.
I am not a game freak. so speed is not very important to me. I just need stable and bug free software because I am a busy person and I have no time for installing new ROMs every week plus I read that flashing ROM after another is a great way to damage your phone.
Any Suggestions ??
Download a stock Rom ICS and root it with PhilZ Kernel. Nothing else.
After that your are not in danger or the brick bug anymore and you have all ICS features you need.
Thank you for replying

just to be sure that I understood.
First I will root my stock GB and Install stock ICS like it's said here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Second I will root the stock kernel and install safe kernel like it's said here:

I'll be very thankful if there's more suggestions.

You dont need root GB to flash stock ICS. Just follow the steps in first link how to flash ICS via PC odin.
Download all necessary drivers, pc odin etc... install these, reboot pc.
After that, download ICS rom which you want, charge your battery.
Open PC Odin, reboot phone into download mode, connect usb cable to phone, check in odin (check box must turn yellow), place rom files into odin, then flash. I wrote these steps but it is all described in detail, in the first link, so follow it
When it boots into ICS, when all is finish, download philZ kernel from second link (depends which kernel, considering which version of rom you have now), place your kernel.zip in internal sd card
Reboot phone into recovery mode, follow steps written in post #3 from Philz kernel thread.
Which means, flash philz kernel from stock recovery, just reboot your phone and thats it.
Now you are rooted, and safe from brickbug :good:
But be aware that your apps will gone (not pictures and stuff from interal sd, but to be sure, backup your important files to pc), and your warraty if you have one will be void.
Good luck, if you have question, and you are not sure what you need to do, better ask here, before going into trouble, somebody will respond...
OK I'll try this way

Re: [Q] Stock ICS vs Custom ROM
I am on stock ics rom with stock kernel. My device has the 0x9 brick bug thing. I tried everything to get my device brick because its still in warrenty. But fortunately or unfortunately didnt got it bricked. So i am still not sure what advice to give u. I think u should go for a philz kernel if u feel unsafe. But being deprived of ics despite ics being on this device for half a year now is not wise.
Make the most of ur device rather than being afraid. Brick bug is not ur fault its samsungs fault, so u can always take the device to them and can yell at them.
For me i want my device to get brick so i can take it back to samsung and if they didnt own it. I would take them to the court. People make money from that. I know a lawyer who always welcome such suits with a % share.

Re: [Q] Stock ICS vs Custom ROM
@quazibasit. If you want to brick your note, download Cwm.zip from rootgalaxynote.com or youtube, flash it in stock recovery from extSdCard and do /wipe data factory reset with it. It a temp recovery and will disappear on next boot so Samsung won't know what you did.
Let us know if it bricks on first wipe.

Everything is perfect
Everything went perfect.
I have rooted ICS 4.0.4 now with philz kernel.
Thank you all for your help.
I rooted my device downloaded rom manager flashed cwm, give my phone a complete wip and rebooted. It deleted all the data and my device was like a fresh decice. But didnt find anything that explains the brick bug. Some OPs said that its not necessary that it happens when one wipes the data. It can happen anytime even file deleting a large file. But fortunately i didnt experience such thing. So i am no more scared of this bug.
I even flashed slimbeans on my stock ics with stock kernel, but didnt find any bricking, yes it went into bootloop once, but on wiping data it was all ok.
Sorry folks wont advice any of u to do this, it was just experiment which ended smoothly.
