Last few days i've been trying to install the ICS version on my galaxy note. I asked ppl here and watched more than 1h of videos on youtube but i found nothing. Maybe the instructions are hidden on threads of 500 pages and i couldn't find it, or the information was not complete, idk.
So I also did nothing, better than hardbrick, but i already used the ICS on galaxy nexus and now i'm addicted to that sys.
I'd like to ask if someone here could create a full tutorial, with "how to perfectly install ICS".
Which kernel we should use, which rom is trustable, remember, we are jumping from GB to ICS.
Thank you,
Enio.
PS: I mean we BEG your help lol
Check the links on dr ketans signature for all kinds of rioting and upgrade guides.
Are they updated according to bad kernels and roms?
let me just tell you how i do it....
go to stock GB rom..KL3 would be good....
flash it...root it...
put the rom that you want in your SD card...
go to CWM and wipe data factory reset....wipe cache...wipe dalvid cache...
reboot to recovery...
install the ICS rom...
enjoy....
next time you want to install a new ICS rom...
download Redpilltouch Recovery...flash it...reboot to recovery and do all 3 wipes and install the RoM
If you are on GB and not rooted then easy way is to flash GB Speed mod kernel odin version through PC odin then you will be rooted (of course you will get yellow triangle thats not a problem you can use Triangleaway app from CF) then flash Abyss 4.2 redpill kernel boot into recovery of abyss perform 3 wipes then proceed to flash any custom ICS rom and you are done.
Its already rooted since day 1.

I am on firmware LA3, using the LA3 CF root files. I have placed the zImage from one .tar file into the correct folder in the CFroot files and have the other .tar on my desktop like I saw in a video tutorial. USB debugging/Unknown Sources enabled, and all drivers are installed. Everything looks to be working fine until the end of the zergrush where there is a permission denied error when trying to write to dev/block/mmcblk0p5. Other than that, i don't know what else it would be. Any suggestions?
I also included a screenshot of the Zergrush.

LA3 cannot be rooted using zergrush method. You have to downgrade to at least KL1 or older stock Roms to be able to root them with ZG. Of course, you can upgrade to whatever you want once your Note is rooted, and keep the root in the process.
Read carefully this thread, and you'll get there.
What if I directly install it through Odin? I know that it would increase the binary counter, but I don't really plan on getting it returned ever since it is not under warranty. Will it work then?

No it will not. Follow downgrade method
I did flash my stock LA1 using PC Odin and it worked fine, only giving triangle and +1 custom binary counter. But I used JIG method to clear the triangle and reset the counter.

This is confusing me... I am trying to follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22843343&postcount=1259
which tells me to use LA3 and then flash the kernel. What is going on here? I just want to get to ICS...

Above method installs only CWM Recovery. If you want root , then u have to downgrade to KL3 and below version, then Root.

Thanks you. That clears things up a little bit. I haven't been keeping track of things the last couple months and am getting overwhelmed with all the new stuff that is coming out .
Don't go for KL3, because some of those are rootable directly, some are not. As I said before, pick KL1 or older. You can root any one of those with zergrush for sure.
Then you can proceed with installing Chainfire's ICS Repack and any custom ICS build.
hi,im a new gn user..can someone help me to confirm this...here is my current kernel n build..when i purchased this phone,my phone come with gb then i update the firmware to ics using the update function in the phone...

now,the question is,can i root using the mentioned method?ive downloaded the how to root guide from dr.ketan, but when i read about the hardbrick,im getting confuse..so,is it safe to continue using this method?..
thanks in advanced
Yes the rooting process is safe. Its just not safe to do a factory reset or data wipe if you are on a lpy-lpf etc kernel.
ok,so whati need to do,i downgrade my phone to direct rootable rom using pc odin,root it then install cwm..and if i want to install an ics rom,i use the cwm is it and keep my cf root..then i will have an updated rom with root and cwm...am i correct?
anyone?

no no no, thats not the way it works, no need to downgrade, but there are some other things to consider as the yellow triangle that appears after flashing a cf root.tar, i thing the safer and quicker method would be this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647148
as it says, just dont make any backup or restore because it dont work but the root will work fine
what if i wanted to flash a custom rom?for example the kingdroid..so,i need to install cwm is it?
Flash Using Mobile ODIN
With root on, you can always use mobile ODIN to flash to any firmware of your choice. No binary count and also no triangle.

You can use MO to flash any STOCK firmware of your choice.
For custom ones you need to have a working CWM Recovery.
Hi all,
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 and install Cyanogenmod 9 on it.
I'm using a Mac and will be using Heimdall.
The problem is I don't know where I can find the correct version of Clockworkmod for my phone. Can anyone point me in the right direction? My phone details are below:

Also, is installing CWM actually rooting my phone or do I need to do something else?
Thanks!

If I do update to 2.3.6, how does that get me closer to rooting my phone?

Yes, because you need the gingerbread bootloaders to install CMx anyway. So do this.
1. Upgrade to 2.3.x with kies or Heimdall. Doesn't matter.
1a. Put the appropriate cm9 files in your SD card. (Gapps, ROM)
2. Flash semaphore or devil kernel .tar files under pda in Odin. Not sure about heimdall sorry!
Note: Please note that recovery is packaged with the kernel on this ROM, so flashing a kernel changes your cwm as well.
3. Now, you phone won't boot, no big deal. All we need is the recovery. Reboot into recovery and flash the cm9 file.
4. Now wipe data / factory reset
5. Reboot, Rejoice, enjoy

flash semaphore kernel with odin
then flash cm from here download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxysmtd&type=stable
Whew, I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I've searched through the threads hoping to find something that would help me but I keep hitting dead ends. Ok, When I first rooted my Samsung Captivate over 5 months ago I used Odin method. I flashed speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz to my cappy and then I flashed Slim Bean 4.2.2 build 6 and I loved it! Since I liked it so much i flashed Build 7 when it released and then to what Im at now which is Slim Bean 4.3. After I flashed Slim Bean for the first time it changed my kernel from speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz to Semaphore 3.0.91+. Yesterday I decided i wanted to switch up my rom to the Avatar cappy rom. So I got the rom and the gapps. I then loaded in recovery which changed to Semaphore CWM 6.0.3.6 after the flash. I then did factory wipe then cache then delvik cache. I selected the avatar rom to install and it gave me a status 7 error. I searched it and it brought me to the mobile odin fix. So I downloaded Mobile ODIN and when it loads it says "A compatible device was detected, but with an unexpected partition layout". So that was just a kick in the face. I searched what ODIN said but didn't get a good answer or fix. I've also tried to switch to TWRP but when I try it says there are no recoveries. If anyone can help me I would be so grateful. I'm kinda green at this whole rooting and rom flashing but it really intrigues me! Thanks.
PS. Sorry if there is already a thread for this. I didn't see anything.

I don't know anything about TWRP but if you are using CWM, do this....do all your wipes....then go to "Mounts and Storage" click on "Format System".....then flash your rom and gapps and reboot.

I don't think you can go directly from 4.3 to 4.2. You might have to flash kk4 without bootloaders and work you way back up.
Imo, even if there was another way, i'd still take that one to be sure to have a clean install.

Ok thanks I will give that a try! I had that same thought so I tried 4.3 CM10 but no luck. I will try to flash that kernal. I flashed the speedmod kernel the other night but it still acted the same. i will give what you recommended a shot when i get a few minutes. Thanks again!
Hey just checking back in! I'm glad to say that flashing back stock worked flawlessly! I used Odin One Click to go back to Eclair then I just flashed speedmod then [4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[RC2]. Everything is running great! Thanks for all the help!
so i found out that working with a 4.2.2 version of android is making my device extremely laggy, so i basiaclly completely formatted everything via windows from my mobile and decided to start fresh, i want to downgrade, i know how to do it and all,but it keeps getting stuck in a boot loop when i flash this

so anyway i went on to another trial which is this one and odin wouldn't go through the installation
so i tried to download a zip rom and install it after adding a kernel, and it just keep restarting the phone when i try, all i need is a smooth rom with a suitable version of android for my i9000, if you can't answer, just post a link to a rom.
You need to install stock rom first, then add cwm, then install! If you just do this 4.2>2.3 you will get a bootloop
I didn't saw your 2 pic.
stupid question.. have you wiped?

yes i did wipe ofc ^^
i am installing the stock rom, and is it really important to get the stock rom for my country ?
i am installing a kernel before the stock rom, maybe that would work and yes i am downgrading from 4.2.2 to 2.3
