[Q] [ROM] ROCKET ROM - v2 - ICS - XXLPY [Update 23/05] -- Safe?

Hi guys,
i read a lot about the hard bricking stuff and the kernel questions. But one thing is still not clear to me. In the warning thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943) they say "XXLPY official ICS release for GT-N7000" is affected. The creator of the Rocket ROM wrote as a feature "CF-Root kernel XXLPF"
Now my question:
Does this mean that i can flash this rom without the fear of the hardbricking stuff? Or would you suggest NOT to flash a new rom until there is a new stock rom out and stay at GB 2.3.6?
Thx for your help!

Better to ask this in the RocketROM thread, the guys running it would have a better answer for you.
Personally I live in fear of the SuperBrick all the time, so I avoid all the ROMs based on the affected kernels.

Hello,
The Problem is that i cant post in their thread due to the "minimum of Ten posts" rule. So i was forced to ask my question here.

you can flash it if you like. just make sure you have the RIGHT kernel before you do a full wipe. i was on rr v1 i dled v2 but didnt flash it. installed kingdom rom instead

I followed the procedure suggested by this forum:
When on any rooted GB Rom:
1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card
Also download the ICS Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.
2. reboot to CWMR and do a backup of your current system
3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery
4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
6. you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery
7. factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
9. flash the ICS Rom of your choice
10. reboot and let the Rom settle for a couple of minutes
I have flashed Criskelo V3 ICS rom, LiquidSmooth, Stunner, and CM9 using this procedure without problem so far.

question about ICS full wipe!

Just to make sure that I dont brick my note.
Im currently on costume ics rom. Ive tried several but they are very unstable and I have a feeling its bcuz Im flashing non wipe over other ics roms.
I would like to install a ics costume rom but do full wipe first.
Is it correct that if I flash my kernel to abyss 4.2, then I can do full wipe and install an ics costume rom without messing my note?
Ps: sorry if its been answered before...

1st way :
1. Flash Abyss note 4.2 Kernel
2. reboot into recovery | DO NOT REBOOT SYSTEM
3. Do the 3 Wipes | Data, Cache and Dalvik
4. Install your ics rom... follow the exact instructions.
2nd Way .
1. Use PC ODIN to flash a GB ROM
2. r00t it
3. 3 wipes in the GB CWM
4. Install your ICS ROM following the exact instructions.
Cheers

Do NOT wipe data on that rom.

Thanks... Did a full wipe and installed crisko 5.1
Works like a charm and no messups

[Q] From GB LC1... to ICS LQ3 ?

Hi guys,
I have my Galaxy note since 4 months now I and think it's time to update it to ICS and why not to a custom rom like Criskelo (before my Note I had the GS II and I was really happy of the Criskelo Rom I installed on it).
So here I am, looking for informations about how to proceed to upgrade my phone..
I read a lot of post, it seems that few ROMs are really dangerous and can block the phone, and it seems that the LC1 is unrootable so I would have to downgrade it first ?
So can someone who know explain me how to proceed ? which steps should I follow?
I read that to go to ICS LQ8 from GB, I should first
"Install ics repack by chainfire via mobile odin-reboot-reboot into revovery-full wipe-install criskelo ics "
But there is a topic "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943" which say "do not install any ics repack"...
So I'm totally lost !
I hope someone can help me, as I said, my goal is to go from GB LC1 to ICS Criskelo7 LQ3!
Thank you in advance

Hi!
To get root from lc1, you can just use a french tutorial here:
http://www.galaxynote.fr/rooter-facilement-son-telephone-t3714.html
Can't be more simple!
From there I didn't get to know how to install a stable ics rom.
Just let me know if you find a simple and safe way to install a good rom.

Hi Guys,
Thank you very much for your fast answers !
Tonight is the big night, I will upgrade my device !
@jabab : I will follow thistutorial to root my Note
@tknguyencsu : Ok then when my GB LC1 will be rooted, I just need to follow you instructions !
Can you explain me why is AbyssNote needed ? No risk to do a factory reset on my GB LC1 stock rom ? Do you agree that all this means I go directly from my GB LC1 to a ICS LQ3 without any middle step with a lower ICS version ?
Sorry for all this newb question..

Thanks for this !! But I have just got my Note and its LC1 - Can I just flash the zImage I got from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 Or do i need to do the whole downgrade procedure ?

Hi again !
Thank you very much guys, It's done for me ! I'm on Criskelo LQ3 and everything was fine !
@azzledazzle: As I understood on different post, the stock GB LC1 rom is not rootable, so you will at first need to flash an other kernel in your device.
Few options then, as tknguyencsu advice, you can install "AbyssNote 4.2 kernel", or a "Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000XXLC1_FRANCE" which I did (few posts will give you a link to the one you want).
You flash then your device with it (non-wipe) and then you will be able to root in an easy way.
When your device is rooted, do a backup, and then go for a full wipe (I think it's more than needed to go from GB to ICS).
Then > install your ROM
For perfectly for me !
Thank you for your help guys
(ps: do I need to do a batterie stats reset ? if yes should I do it when the device is fully charged ?)

Hey man, Did the above steps but ran into a few issues, To save me double posting heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27716441&postcount=78
Im back on ICS now, with CF kernel... Dont know what step(s) to take next

And what about the triangle after flashing with Abyss?

Yeah I have that too, But im not using abyss any more, Im using CF kernel, and i still have it.
Not so keen on CF kernel, I heard someone got the hardbrick with it. Am i to use the CWM app for all flashing now ? Cause when i booted into recovery and flashed abyss it wouldnt boot.

From what i as able to understand - if we do this:
"4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery"
in other words - if we do not boot with Abyss we won't get the yellow triangle.
Is this correct?

Criskelo's ICS 10.1 instalation guide

hi there, can someone guide me how to install criskelo ics 10.1 rom, i use to flash rocketrom before, so i think i got some skill on flashing custom rom...but itried to flash criskelo 9.1 last week n the result my note got hard brick, cant turn to download mode or recovery mode... luckily, i still got waranty on my note and sent it to SS n get new board as replacement...so can some one guide me the safest way to flash this rom...now im on stock ics 4.0.3 rom n rooted...

CRISKELO IS A VERY GOOD ROM BUT TRY WAIT A LITLE MORE TIME GET BETTER IN HIS VERSION ICS BECAUSE I AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS , THE SAME WAY YOU INSTALL ROKET YOU INSTALL CRISKELO,
BUT IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE THIS IS THE STEPS
FROM THE ORIGINAL GB
ROOT YOUR PHONE WHIT CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5
THEN INSTALL ABISS KERNEL REDPILL GO TO ADVANCE AND REBOOT RECOVERY
WIPE DATA, CACHE,DAVLICK CACHE
AND INSTALL THE CRISKELO ROM
BUT TO ME IN THIS WAY THE ROM CONTINUE TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS:
SUPERSU ASKING FOR PERMISS FOR ALL APPS
BATTERY PERCENT NOT SHOW CORECTLY
IN THE OTHER HAND CRISKELO VERSION 7 IS A ROM WHITOUT ANY PROBLEM VERY RECOMMNDED:good:

so which rom is best for now

If I were you, I would:
1. Download abyss kernel (this is a gb kernel so it should be safe)
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.zip
2. Install abyss from cwm (don't do any wipes)
3. Still in cwm, go to advance and reboot cwm
4. Do the three wipes (cahe, dalvik and factory)
5. Install criskelo's rom
It should be done.
That's how I installed,
I'm using criskelo's rom with glnotecore kernel and everything works fine.

Flasing JB from ICS

Hi,
im not pretty sure how to flash safely from my ICS to JB (CM10).
Im on RocketROM ICS XXLPY v3 with the Notecore Kernel.
In the developer threads there is mentioned that you have to upgrade from
CM9 or something like that.
I just want to get sure, before bricking my note .
Hope somebody can explain to me which methods are safe and which not.
Thanks !

Safe methods:
- Flashing from GB kernel ( for CM9 )
- Flashing from custom / non-stock ICS kernel that had the format command removed
- Flashing from CM9 / CM10 kernels
Brick methods:
- Flashing from anything ICS that came from Samsung
Simply follow the instructions in the thread and you'll be fine.
Check if Notecore kernel is "safe". If it is, you're ready to go. If it's not, you need to flash safe kernel first, and then go for CM10.
If you're afraid or anything, you can always go the long way: stock GB via PC Odin > root > CM9 > CM10, although we should really stop using this method now because devs put a lot of work so that we won't have to do it like that.

Okay.
My way, i would try it:
1. Flash AbyssKernel 4.2 over my ICS RocketROM ICS XXLPY v3.
2. Reboot the recovery
3. Flash CM9 and GApps
4. Factory Reset/Data Wipe
5. Reboot
6. Reboot in Recovery
7. Flash CM10 and GApps
8. Factory Reset/Data Wipe
9. Reboot
The only part, which makes me unsure is "Flashing from anything ICS that came from Samsung". You mean the kernel or could RocketROM brick my note cause its from a samsung firmware ? Even if i flash Abyss before ?
Sorry for asking again, but the Note is a expensive device and I dont want to go back to my Lumia 900
Thank you !

This is my metod. All working good on my N7000

My method:
-Flash CM9 kernel with PC Odin
-Boot into CWM and flash CM10+gapps
-wipe/factory reset and wipe dalvik
done
