Hi all! I got my gnote yesterday. it was ddlb2 which is, obviously not directly rootable. I followed dr.ketan's guide (follow this procedure when no other method of rooting works)(perfect guide, man!!!) and it has now come to XXKJ1 as per the firmware given by Dr. ketan. It is rooted and has CWM. As expected, the keyboard was giving null and CSC was unknown. Do i need to reflash the entire package (ddlb2) to get back the CSC? If so, what option do i have to chose in Mobile Odin so that the root stays now? Or can i just flash the CSC of ddlb2 over this firmware? Obviously the unknown CSC is the reason why the keyboard is giving null. Right? Sorry for all the questions, but i like to be thorough. Tks!!! BTW: the CSC of DDLB2 is ODDLA1.

Just flash the csc
okay, i have one .tar.md5 file. how do i tell mobile odin to only flash the csc? Are you sure the root wont go?
Extract the tar down 1 level, should find a file named cache, flash that as csc
Afaik it shouldn't affect root.

Hello there guys. I have the following query. I have DDJP6 Froyo with DamianTGO kernel which includes ClockwordModRecovery inbuilt. Now i want to try XWJS3 Doc's Rom which i downloaded from Romkitchen.org . The issue is that the Doc's Rom downloaded with custom CSC and Modem(both India Specific) has an older CSC of DDJG4, which the stock Froyo CSC for India is DDJP5. Now if flashing Doc's Rom will bring the CSC back to JG4(which i think it will,, since it's the WIPE version), how do i update JUST the CSC back to JP5?? I do have the JP5 CSC file as a .tar file. Can i update just that using ODIN without re-partition and leaving Phone and Modem blank?? Or update it through CWM? But how do i make a tar file CWM zip compatible??
If the query, or anything similar has already been posted and answered, kindly give me the link for the same. Thanking you all in advance
Just flash the csc bit through ODIN and leave everything else empty.
Thank You Very Much

hello everyone,
I recently purchased my galaxy tab in dubai and could not update through kies as i got the following message "This version of device cannot be updated".
Then i flashed xxjq1 along with bootloaders from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854 and the gt-p1000_mr_PIT.zip files. now everything works fine but the csc and pda fields are empty.
How can i get the pda and csc fields back. I want to flash the dxjpe firmware as this is the 2.3.3 asian version i found. Will this bring my csc and pda fields back to normal. Will this enable me to update future updates via kies.
Aren't you supposed to boot immediately into recovery after you flash the rom? That installs the csc files. Double check the instructions.
so can i go ahead and flash the dxjpe firmware , will this reinstate my csc files, and what pit file i need to use with this.
hopefully it would fix your problem. as for pit for the dxjpe use (GT-P1000_M.PIT)
I got the error when downgrading and flashing signed bootloaders... Rolling back from GB to froyo gave me that error... I suggest unsigning the bootloader then flashing again...

Your post no. 1 is confusing. You said you flashed to JQ1 yet the attachment says JM3. Anyway use this (by noxxious) procedure to get into a ROM without rooting then update thru kies.
The attachment showed the message displayed by kies when i wanted to update my gtab after purchasing. Since i could not officially update using kies i opted for manual flashing

Just follow the link above to downgrade to JK2 which is a version with unsigned bootloader. Then update thru kies. Kies should be able to detect your firmware as upgradable to JPE.
Good luck!
This happened with me after a soft brick. Reboot into recovery and see if CSC is installed, if not do a factory reset. For me flashing a stock firmware fixed it for me.

Right, I reminded him a while ago after flashing to immediately go into recovery to get the csc files installed. The JQ1thread has clear instructions.
Don't worry about that other rom yet - by correctly flashing JQ1 you will have the complete system and safe bootloaders. Once that's done, you can go in any direction.
Dears,
I require help from you. My galaxy note has stock ROM and is very laggy.
PDA:KL3/PHONE:KL1/CSC:KL1(INU).
I read in some threads that with KL7 firmware, lag disappears completely.
i have few questions.
1. I want stock ROM and when i try to connect with kies, it says 'this is the latest firmware'. i bought this from India and Im currently in saudi arabia.
2.where will i get the STOCK ROM for KL7 and how to put in my note?
3. Will this 'unofficial' way clean up my data?or will my apps and setting remain as it is after update.
appreciate your replies.

1.This is latest ROM for India, thats why kies says.(you have purchased from india)
2. Read My signature
3.It has no relation with way you are updating, Dont select 'Re-partition' option while you flashing with Odin, so you will not lose data, but it is always advisable to backup first.
Now another thing, if you install KL7 by odin, you will not able to Root it later. If you want Rooted KL7, you need this
- Get ROOT + CWM in present ROM (read My signature)
- Install Mobile Odin Pro from market
- Now download Stock firmware, as i advised you earlier, n Flash your device with Mobile Odin Pro, with ' ever Root' option enable
thanku buddy
im sorry. but i downloaded a file N7000XXKL7_N7000OXAKL7_N7000XXKL7_HOME.tar.md5. now i see 4 options in ODIN: bootloader/phone/csc/pda. now where i should i associate this field.???
also since my csc is INU and this seems DBT is there anything should i b doing??? . pls gime detailed steps
just to select PDA, as you seen in guide.
got it right.upgraded to kl7. thank you dr.
I am confused. This is the latest firmware, but it is still carrier specific, correct?
Is there a firmware that is 'pure samsung galaxy note' which hasn't been manipulated by the carriers?
I guess KL8 is the latest firmware.

Hi khan.dharvesh. Can you please tell me did this KL7 upgrade solved your problem??
Plus, I want to know, can we upgrade this without rooting out phone?
Sorry but am absolute noob. Highest level of noob I would say, therefore I am asking such quesitons.

Ok, so many new stock roms have come after that. so go and use
N7000XXLC1---------2.3.6-------2012 March----------N7000OXALC1----------Open Germany-----------------------------Download
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997.
Hello I am sorry to be a nuisance but I wonder if someone could help me. I made a mistake I think in updating to 2.3.6 baseband N7000XXLA4 kernel N7000XXLA6. I have been reading the posts and as they suggest downgrade via PC Odin. My concern however is if I do this will my flash counter increase and will I get the yellow triangle?
Thanks in advance

When you flash any stock ROM with PC odin, it won't raise counter, nor it give triangle.
Remember, never flash any custom ROM/Kernel with PC Odin.
You are on right track, Download any older, directly rootable ROM from here and flash with PC Odin
Hijacking the thread a little bit since I noticed the Doc was here and it involves downgrading to stock ROM
I'm on a rooted LC1 rom and want to downgrade to this stock rom... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20208273
I'm downloading the file right now and have about 45min left so I don't know exactly what's inside the archive.
But... do I really need Odin to downgrade? In my case... isn't it enough to flash the rom using CWM?
Brgds... /Tubgirl
Thankyou so much for replying Dr Ketan
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Update:
Download has finished and the file inside the archive is called N7000XBKK4_N7000OXXKK5_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5
I renamed the extension to .rar which allowed me to extract it. Inside are the following files...
boot.bin
cache.img
factoryfs.img
hidden.img
modem.bin
param.lfs
Sbl.bin
zImage
Any assistance on how to downgrade to this rom would be highly appreciated
Can it be done with CWM recovery?
Brgds... /Tubgirl
First.of all, dont manipulate qith file name.
Just extracted upto .tar.md5 is enough.
Another thing you have cwm (it needs cf root cwm, not stock recovery) then you can flash it with that, if you want to keep root intact.
You can.also use pc odin to flash any stock.ROM. With pc odin u will lose root.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Thanks Doc.
In my case I want to lose root because I'm sending my Note in for repair. Can I just flash with CWM recovery (choosing to flash everything including the kernel) and I'll be back to an early Stock ROM without root?
Thanks again Doc for taking your time
Brgds... /Tubgirl
Then best way to flash it with pc odin.
This will auto unroot u too.

Thanks again... flashing with Odin was easy and it didn't increase the counter.
Unfortunately it didn't solve the problems I'm having so I guess I have to send my Note in for repair. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577638

Hi kramevans,
To ease your concern and worries, try watching this video from Ashwin:

Thank you doc, planning to root/flash my note to ICS. I don't know where to start(afraid in some case) to do it.
can we unroot our phone to get back warranty???
Flash any Stock ROM with PC Odin, will unroot device.
Just so I understand...
I have just bought a GN7000 off contract, so unlocked and unbranded. It has the same LA6, 2.3.6 and radio as the OP.
I've some experience with Android because I've rooted my HTC DesireHD, but not a lot. I want root to run Titanium and some other things that require root but have no real desire to flash additional roms (certainly not at the moment).
If I understand what I've read, and the sheer number of different posts and cross referencing means its hard to get a clear definitive view of what the current state of play is but as I understand it the options seem to be:
1. To root the phone without getting the warning counter you need to flash (with odin) an old samsung firmware then you can root it. If you upgrade after this you will need to wipe the phone and start again, and, you will need to use other tools too.
2. I also read of Mobile Odin and the post on that seems to indicate it can root the newer ROMs, but does it cause the warning counter to get updated or is it safe from that? Can I un-root a phone rooted in this way?
From the look of things option 2 seems the way to go, if I can understand the answers to the questions - which I can't seem to from the posts I've read.
Any help/advice would be most welcome.
Cheers
Hi guys. I’m new entry with N7000, from all point of views and I need your help.
I have this firmware on my phone: PDA N7000XXLA6; PHONE N7000XXLA4;
CSC N7000OXXLA1 (note I am from Romania – Orange carrier – and the phone is unlocked).
Before custom ROMs, I understand that I must do a downgrade.
Can you, please, tell me:
- what stock ROM should I choose (from those posted by Dr. Ketan) for downgrade?
- is it necessary to do a factory reset or any other thing before flashing stock ROM with PC Odin?
Thank you
Done it.
Thank you all for your posts.
Hello,
I just wanted to ask one thing about flashing the Samsung Galaxy Note stock firmware. I'm currently completely stock, never rooted, never flashed, the firmware is the Android 2.3.6 LA6, on the TOP CSC (Serbia, Telenor). Since I really want to finally switch to ICS, I've been planning to switch my CSC to CPW and get the OTA update for 4.0.3 XXLQ2.
Could someone tell me how to get the same LA6 firmware on my phone, but with all CSC's available, so I could switch back to TOP after updating? I wouldn't want any problems like the yellow triangle, not being able to have my phone recognized by Kies and such etc.
Any way to do it, or am I asking too much?
Don't be desperate, Wait for official ICS...
Or follow dr. Ketan's guide....
The thing is, ICS won't appear for my CSC in forever, so I just wanted to switch my CSC to something else and flash 4.0.3, then change the CSC back to my old one. I don't see any guide to do that in Dr. Ketan's, but there's only a list of all European firmwares. I don't know which CSC options they have

Press *#1234# on dialer and post your screen shot along with about phone in settings. More information will be good.
Here are the screenshots. Also, in Ketan's guide there is a bunch of STOCK firmwares. Is there a way to see which CSC options they have before downloading, or something?
I saw Open Europe firmware with the N7000OXALC1 CSC, any way to check which CSC's are in there?
