Need help flashing Roms! - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really have no idea where to start on this. I traded my One X for a rooted Note and I was happy to start flashing roms but then I read that I can hard brick pretty easy. Usually I'm pretty good with following instructions but I don't even know where to start with this. I am on ICS and its rooted. How do I tell if I have a safe kernel? What do I do if I don't? Help a noob out. I've spent quite a bit of time reading the forums looking for answers but I don't even know what I'm looking for.

You can read the following thread:
Helpful info on ICS, GB, Bricks, Flashing etc...

This is what my about says. So this is what I gather from reading around, I just flash ANY GB rom, root and then flash a kernel, reboot into recovery and wipe then install the rom?
Sorry about being a noob. There are so many different things about this on here. I don't know what applies to me.

Go back to GB with root like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25285584&postcount=3
Then find the custom Rom you like, carefully read the OP, and follow the installation instructions to the letter - not all of them are the same.

I think you can try Rocket Rom! The best rom i had!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654838
eybee provide the full steps(as easy as that)
b2) coming from other rooted Samsung ICS-Custom-ROM or rooted ICS Stock ROM (FullWipe):
- download Abyss Kernel 4.2 from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c65mndvpk6ocbaa
- put zip-file on your USB-storage
- boot in Recovery
- Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2!!!
- boot back in Recovery (find it under 'advanced')
- now FullWipe!!!
- Flash ROM
- reboot system
-...you are done

Ill try the rocketrom method when I get home. Hopefully I don't end up with a fancy brick. Thanks so much.

I don't have CWM installed. Can I just flash it in the stock recovery? Or do I need a specific one?

You can't flash it in stock recovery. Get CWM in the link i gave you.

Thanks. I haven't felt like this much of a noob since the first time I rooted my old Desire HD.

Can anyone be that kind to teach me how to root and flash clockworks recovery to my G

Sorry guys, its been ages since i root android devices. I do not understand why samsung android need to use odin. Quite confusing.

Sorry dude. Start reading the stickies. Get used to the idea that you need to figure out the simple things by actually reading stuff. After some personal input, people are of course prepared to answer any questions you have might have.

First off, this thread is in the wrong section. This is not development related.
Second, since its been asked anyway, you could start off by searching and reading stickes as suggested by androidsjonnie
And my suggestion is to decide on a custom ROM to use and follow the install instructions provided for that ROM. AFAIK, by default samsung rom's, cannot be flashed using clockwork recovery. you will have to rely on odin for them.
And if you just need clockwork recovery, you start by downloading ROM Manager.
**** Topic name !
Read Stickys and learn to use the Search Function !
don't be hard on the iPhone user! we all know how they are..
If you've read the info on ClockWork recovery.. It needs a compatible Kernel to work.. so checkout the kernels at the dev't section..

The safest way is:
Download a stock GB Rom and flash it via pc Odin following the instruction on Mr Ketan's Thread.
Root it using the same guide.
Go into Recovery
Flash Paranoid Rom
Flash new Gapps
Full wipe (recommended)
You are ready!
The DANGEROUS way:
Go into Recovery
Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2 (red pill)
Reboot into RECOVERY not system (option found in recovery-->advanced)
Flash Paranoid
Flash new Gapps
Full wipe (recommended)
You are ready!
P.S.
The second method may BRICK your device, so choose carefuly mate!
Hope that helps!

I was thinking of creating a thread where i can post tutorials for interchanging ROMs
Does the tutorial posted above applies to all the ROMs out there or is it diffirent for each ROM??
i think it will help everybody and also help me learning more about android
Thank you

If you don't know that already, then refrain from putting up tutorials just as yet. It would surely help people, but then you run the risk of misguiding them (or not being able to answer questions) since you don't seem to have a good grasp of the subject. Get some more game time and help yourself to knowing all the stuff, and you will get there.
But if you feel you know enough, go ahead and try.

Is great that there are people like you here, wanting to help out others.
I totally support your way of thinking but there is a major issue.
Every Rom has specific instruction created by the Dev. I'm thinking that the idea of creating a new thread just for instruction maybe it's over the actual needs of the users. IMO it's equally important if you reply to all the question made by new users here on Q & A Section. You can guide them to the correct direction keeping them safe from easy to make mistakes.
Please let me know what you decide and I will be there for more information and help bro!
Nice meeting you, regards!

well its true that I am uncertain of the requirements of flashing as of now thus I think it is not a good idea to post anything before learning it properly.
I will learn more about flashing and then will definitely put up a thread here at XDA
thank you very much
and yes the idea was not to just post tutorials for each ROM it was to post a guide on "how to flash successfully from one ROM to another" but again I am unsure of the proper steps myself. I think I will select a few ROMs and do a research by following those threads and then post anything related to them.
clicked thanks for both of you
@tyson - After posting that I thought it could come off a little too harsh. Nice to see you taking it constructively as intended, top lad!

Help with rooting Stock 2.3.6

Hi all, just wondering if anybody is feeling helpfull and explaing the easiest rooting method for my galaxy note.
I have an unlocked note on 2.3.6 latest gingerbread.
Total noob with android and finding it a little confusing after coming from apple. I jailbroke my i4 but this is alot different no click and done lol.
My main reason is so i can perform full backups including app data, and also installing a few apps like airplayit.
Been having a read but my head is swiming.
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
Hi mate. I was in the same boat as you.
Even after being into rooting my Androids since the G1 days.
This is my first Samsung.
Anyway. Follow the "how to root with cwm and everything in one place thread"....or something like that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I see they've moved the non rootable roms to post 4.
It depends which version you have add to what you need to do.
Download Odin and flash a completely stock GB rom as the one I had LA6 I think was unrootable .
Then I just flashed paranoid Android loved it ever since.
Follow the instructions on that thread and you should be fine.
Doing that though ill loose everything?, spent weeks setting up
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
Hi,
I would read, read, read & read more if you have a head that is swimming with all the information.
Read this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702214
among hundreds of others.
I managed to kill one of my notes & didn't consider myself a noob but the brick bug got me.
Yes when you install new roms there is a lot of setting up to re-do hence backups are important & time time saving BUT read about the brick/eMMC erase problem and hold out until the situation has been resolved, otherwise all you will have is a very expensive paper weight.
Yeah ill hang on. Not desperate to get it done and also dont have the time.
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
if you want your GB rooted, just flash a non-wipe pre-rooted ROM from bodivas thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
I did the same and worked for me
What i did was flashed speedmod kernel k2-12.tar through odin and my rom was rooted with cwm and from there i flashed abyss 4.2. By doing this i got yellow triangle which i got rid of by installing ics rom and triangle away app
what does non wipe mean?
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
Means it will install on top of your current rom without resetting all youre data and apps.
please hit thanks if i helped
ok so your saying i can flash a prerooted rom of the same type, over my current and hopefully end up with no setting up?

[Q] Does rooting a Galaxy Note GT N7000 has any risk ?

Hi everyone
Recently i got my Galaxy Note, but i would like to root it only. to gain access to apps like droidwall, adblocker and other more apps. i wonder does rooting a Note has any risk ? like bricking it or similar problem like this ?
Is it easy to root a Note ?
Why am i asking this ? because my brother said that there's a risk rooting Note. i used to owned a Galaxy Tab GT P 1000 and i rooted it easily without risk or problems that was a year ago. but now my tab died due to some user here named cx5 posted misleading guide to flash latest ICS or JB caused my tab unable to power on anymore.
If you are on ics rom,then u are on an unsafe kernel.Wiping or flashing on stock ics kernel will brick your phone
So as soon as u root your phone,u need to flash a safe kernel.If u are on ics,u can simply flash philz kernel to root your phone and its a safe kernel
Here is a guide to root your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
1A method of the above mentioned thread is the best. There is no risk involved of you do everything by the book.

Yeah i am using ICS now android version 4.0.4. Does rooting it have any risk of bricking it ? what do you mean by unsafe kernel ?
stock ics kernels have a bug that has a mmc erase command enabled that could delete critical files and render your phone useless. so comes the need of custom kernels which the devs here disabled this command.
wipe using stock kernels is unsafe

Ima be blunt with you man. I can tell by the way you replied to what these guys have told you, you probably lack the reading skills or attentiveness to do something like this. If you can't understand that they answered a question and you ask it again... chances are you'll miss something in one of the guides.

Well this is my second time doing rooting on a android phone. hopefully there's no problems doing it. I'm not sure whether should i flash a custom roms as i am afraid since there's a risk bricking it. it's my first time flashing custom roms. I just found out some sort of bug that exist on stock ICS at Note that makes the phone bricked if flashing other roms/deleting the current OS. hmm i wonder does the bug affect factory reset too ?
Actually this would have been the second time flashing a android phone if i did not follow misleading guide posted by some user here causing my tab to be bricked.
I'm still not sure why my brother said there's a risk of bricking when trying root a note.
Is it safe to stay rooted on stock OS ?
Is it possible to set permanent landscape mode on note ?
Your answers are in the stickies.
Summary of 2 ways to destroy your phone:
1) Factory reset/wipes on stock ICS kernels (Samsung default).
2) Rooting via cwm.zip through temp recovery

Please simple steps for official ics to jb

I posted this question back in early october and no correct answers were given and thread was deleted. so here it goes again. I updated from stock hc to official stock ics through kies i guess? whichever is through the settings - check for updates on the tab. i then asked how to root to jb and people tried telling me one way and then others said no dont do it that way since im running stock official ics. i dont know what odin is, i dont know what flashing is and i dont know what kernels are. i would please like simple simple step by step instructions on how to root to the latest AOKP jb from official ics. i am sorry for the edginess but im just so frustrated i bought this tab and paid 330 for it in sept and I wish I would have waited. this tab is just to slow and id like the extra speed and features from jb as well as an option to oc the processor. $70 more and two months of waiting i could have got the nexus 10 .. oh and i have the wifi only 7310. PLEASE HELP!!
Read the stickies, they'll tell you what to do.

i have been searching stickies for hours, none of it makes sense to me thats why i am asking for simple instructions. Everyone who knows all tnis stuff post things assuming that everyone knows all the jargon, i am a tech noob. Debating on selling this thing if i cant get jb. what do you think a 32 gb 7310 only two months old aind in mint condition with a nice moto $40 leather case could fetch? lol again sorry for soundimg like an ass im just frustrated
I have a tab i957. It wasn't the easiest to get jb on. Which tab do you have?
The first thing you need is Odin. Google Odin 3 ver 1.85.
Then you'll need to flash a recovery, either twrp or clock work mod, make sure it's specific to the tab you have. you flash it with Odin
Then you'll need to down load a jb Rom on to your device,again make sure it's for your device. Then you flash it through the recovery.
The stickies will have more specific info. There are no simple steps. You have to learn by reading and trying.

Not to flash the Rom, only to get clockwork or twrp recovery on the device. The Rom is flashed thru the recovery.
