Hi guys!!
I need advice from u guys.I need to flash a safe kernel Thor 13 to my device. Actually right now I'm on paranoidandroid v2. Is it safe to flash it directly using mobile odin?? I'm little confused right now. Also I'm on 3.0.32 cm kernel (affected kernel). Pls I'm seeking for a good answer before proceeding.
n7000 paranoid android v2
Check whether the Kernel is ODIN flashable or CWM flashable.
Also double check that it is safe, Search the thread and read the replies. If in doubt.....ASK.
Its recommended to use abyss kernel, What ROM do you want to flash ? Check the OP for instructions, follow them precisely
thanks for replying. actually i want to flash rom paranoid android from v.2 to v.3. meaning i have to go back to GB via PC Odin for the safety. is it possible to flash custom kernel like Thor v13 directly from custom rom - paranoid android v2/3?
appreciate if you can help me on this.
From what I know PA requests that you use Abyss kernel, So I would use that for now, Although Thor Kernel maybe safe, I dont think its worth the risk.
Download the Abyss Kernel for GB - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo.zip
Put it on SD Card, Boot into CWM and flash it, Then without exiting, Go to advanced, Reboot recovery, From there you can wipe and install v3 - Make sure you reboot recovery !!! It should be RED and operated by TOUCH.
ok will do.
thank you!:good:

Hi,
I need to ask it, before testing, in order to be sure I make no mistake.
I have sucessfully updated my Note from
GB 2.3.6 official samsung, to ICS paranoid v0.4 ICS, rooted (I used Odin PC to root, then Odin mobile to get the kernel + CWM)
actual kernel :
I would like to test some kernel (Abyss, Franco, ...). then, after that, some ROM (???)
I bought Mobile Odin.
is it safe to use it to flash kernel ?
is it better to use the recovery mode ?
same question about ROM ?
thank you

Yes it is safe and easy. Recovery or mobileodin, either of them. Just remember not to recovery reset or data wipe in stock ics. Even if your on safe kernel like speedmod k3-6, do the wiping at on your own risk but i never read once that they brick there phone doing the wiping on speedmod k3-3. Dont blame me okay.
Hi,
thanks for the feedback.
it gives me another question :
I read that I shouldn't do any wipe, under ICS.
but, for some ROM, or Kernel, it is adviced to do a wipe.
does it mean that I should then going back to GB.
do a wipe.
and flash again the rom and kernel starting from "scratch" ?
or should I flash with mobile odin, no wipe, and let's go, it should work well ?
thanks

I always do wiping while on speedmod, that's me, i dont know about you if you trust the speedmod, im not 100% sure that is really safe, you do it at your own risk. Well you can go back to gb and do the wiping there and flash ics if want to be really safe.
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
I apologize if this has been asked several times before but I want to be 100% sure I'm doing the right thing since my Note currently has brickbug. When I first got ICS via a Kies update, I had to do a stock wipe from Settings because apps were crashing and freezing. As far I can tell there hasn't been any permanent damage. I've since done another OTA update via WiFi.
I want to go from Stock ICS 4.0.4 to ParanoidAndroid JellyBean

Then can I use CWM to flash latest build of JB ParanoidAndroid from http://goo.im/devs/Utacka/n7000?
Also will this cause the Yellow Triangle?
what i did was flash hydracore kernel with mobile odin then flash paranoid android as described in its own thread.
also make a full wipe AFTER flashing hydracore from CWM

Flashing the PhilZ kernel via Stock Recovery wouldn't work? That seems to be the most simple method. Does HydraCore have advantages over PhilZ?
it should work too. i just write the method i used and of course it is not the only method to do it.

Ok, I have PhilZ on my Note now. But still have stock ICS. The ParanoidAndroid threads say "Make sure to run CM9 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK!"
So does that mean I can't just flash HydraCore and then flash ParanoidAndroid? Do I have to flash a CM9 ROM or other AOSP ROM before ParanoidAndroid? Also is PhilZ kernel compatible with ParanoidAndroid?

I did exactly the same recently (but I went from stock to another ROM which had the same message, not ParanoidAndroid) - ran philz then the kernel should be safe which means you should be safe to flash to another ROM. That brick message on the thread I assume only applies if you are running a stock ROM with the stock kernel. If you want to be sure check in Settings>About Phone>Kernel Version - see thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857556.

My advice is dont use Philz kernel for flashing ICS to JB... becz i read somewhere no unique Philz kernel to supports for ICS and JB
I had done many time ICS to JB (like Kingdroid RAM to Paranoid JB, Paranoid JB to STOCK ICS etc. ) no issues...... because of I used Hydracore 4.3b kernel..
thanks

The Kernel version looks the same to me as it did before I went to PhilZ. I rebooted into recover to make sure CWM is on there, which it is. And I installed a custom boot animation to make sure that worked, and it did.
Sounds like I should go to HydraCore Kernel first since it's compatible with TW ICS and JB then flash ParanoidAndroid ROM.

Thanks, sounds like my best course of action is to flash HydraCore now and that way I can test various ICS/JB ROMs.
Since my original post I have:
Flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-2.7-signed kernel in stock recovery to get original root and safe kernel.
Flashed GL_HYDRACORE_v5-4_STD kernel because I thought that's what I needed for PA.
Flashed pa_n7000-2.51-24OCT2012-192916 and followed instructions from Hydracore thread which said to flash kernel after done flashing new ROM and gapps. However - PA would not boot after that. I also tried pa_n7000-2.52-29OKT2012-101254-Utacka this way. Same problem.
So I decided to flash pa_n7000-2.51-24OCT2012-192916 this time but without changing the kernel. Booted fine this time and my phone flys now! Way faster than Stock ICS 4.0.4. It's nuts that official ROMs, by comparison, are so slow.
So I'm trying to understand how to know which kernels will work with which ROMs. So I've been reading the various stickies and this thread in particular - very carefully. And I see the part about "WARNING: Do NOT use the below listed kernels for any CM10 build dated October 3rd or newer because your system will not boot.". I assume this why I was having issues after flashing Hydracore immediately after PA? And if I'm understanding this right, I could use the new HydraCore v7 with this PA JB ROM I'm on now? Is that because of this new MALI driver?
I did an EFS Backup after I did the original PhilZ kernel install but I never did a Nandroid backup while I had stock ICS. Should I just do that on any functional ROM now to make sure I have a full working copy of something to get my phone restored if something goes haywire? Is that the idea?
Also a lot of people seem to recommend flashing ROMs using PC ODIN. Is this considered safer or less risky than using CWM?
ParanoidAndroid JB imilka build has been great - but I noticed a few annoying issues:
1. WiFi signal seemed a lot better in Stock ICS than it does with PA. My signal is always "Poor" in my bedroom and I'm not very far from the wireless router but when I'm in the living room - it's excellent. Is this to be expected or is there something I can do about that?
2. Audio issues - sometimes I have to play with the volume to get speaker phone working after hitting the on-screen toggle.
3. None of the Voice Input stuff works. It just says "Initializing" and then "I didn't catch that". Also described near the end of the PA thread but haven't seen anyone reply with a fix.
4. No timer/stopwatch built into clock app. Can someone recommend a good app?
5. When I change the Slider shortcuts under Settings->Interface->Lock screen, they don't save. It always go back to default - Camera, Google Search and Unlock options only.
6. Looking for a nicer clock widget. Can someone make a recommendation?
Just wanted to point out that I love that it automatically had the StraightTalk APN configured for me. I know you're probably thinking - yeah so? - but I'm relatively new to android ROMing - just been lurking for awhile - so it was a pleasant surprised.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi guys,
I am new to this forum and to flashing custom roms in particular. I have read a lot of stuff about the eMMC chipbug and how to avoid it. I want to install pa_n7000-2.53-05NOV2012-125144-Utacka from stock ICS 4.0.4 with this kernel: speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-15-Odin. Is it safe to flash the PA with the CWM of the speedmod kernel or should I go back to gingerbread as I have read on some other fora?
Thanks in advance!
yes its safe. speedmod is a safe kernel

So all I have to do is reboot in cwm recovery, and install PA from sd card, then install Gapps, then wipe/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache and it should work 'without' risk?
yeah.. first wipe data /factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
format /system
then install zip from sd

i m concerned about this warning...Make sure to run CM9/10 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK! - You're warned!

YES it has one of philz safe kernels..
so what i think is its totally safe to flash a new rom if u have a safe kernel. Am i right???
what if i flash a kernel(safe one) which is not compatible with my currrent rom....is it risky or my device will just not boot or anything else.....??
Hello,
I want to flash the Chimera 3.0 Rom to my Galaxy Note. Well, I already looked for many tutorials that couldn't help me.
I rooted it by using a youtube tutorial which I can't find anymore at the moment. But I remember downloading 3 files: cwm.zip, franco kernel and another zip file.
So, I read that if I flash a new rom with the cwm.zip installed, my phone will get bricked (which I obviously dont want to happen).
The more i read the less i understand Now i really dont know what to do...
At the moment, the original ICS 4.0.4 firmware is installed, and i didnt make any changes to the kernel (or maybe that franco thing did, im not sure).
Also, I didnt understand what to do first: flash new kernel or the rom? Because the kernel needs to be safe so that my phone doesnt get bricked.
Anyway thanks in advance!
P.s. sorry for my english, i'm german
You always need to be sure your ROM is running a safe kernel. The standard kernels from Samsung are NOT safe, i.e., if you do a full wipe/reset to factory settings, you can get your phone bricked. So, before doing that, you need to flash a kernel that works for your ROM and is safe. If you are using a Samsung ICS 4.0.4 ROM, I would suggest Speedmod K3-15 or Hydracore 5.4 kernels. Since you already have CWM installed, it's rather easy: download the kernel zip file to your SD card, reboot your phone in recovery mode (to access the CWM menu), select "Install Zip from SD card" and flash the kernel. Don't do any wipes, just reboot. Now you got yourself running a safe kernel. Confirm that by going into Settings -> About phone.
Spend some time reading the tutorials here on the forum. Trying new ROMs is nice, but bricking your phone is definitely NOT nice, right? So, make sure you understand the whole process and can make sure you are on a safe kernel before proceeding.

Stop using obscure tutorials - use XDA.
There are many threads here providing detailed and exact information.
Until now you should feel very lucky that you didn't brick your device.
Choose an up-to-date Rom here and follow the installation instructions provided in the thread - I do not know any Rom thread that doesn't give this hints.
cwm.zip, franco kernel and another zip file - after you told about the first two I do not really want to know the content of "another zip file". Delete them - they are old or dangerous.
Download some nice JB Rom here or switch to CM 10.1. You will like it and learn.
(You shouldn't be concerned about your language knowledge - it is far better than your device knowledge )
Ok, i installed the hydracore 7 kernel. what exactly am i supposed to do now?
so you on ICS and have hydracore kernel installed now ?
if yes, then place all the required files to install the rom on internal SD ( check OP rom thread for details)
boot into recovery and go to mounts & storage > format/system > format/data > format/cache. go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
go back and choose install zip from SD and select the ROM file
This worked for me, thanks!
Hi,
I'm currently running on ICS 4.0.4 stock ROM, I was wondering how to root and add CWM?
need much more info than that. which build of rom. use the philz kernel for your rom to root and CWM. follow his thread
Hi guys I'm new to the N7000 forums, but I am no means new to the android and flashing scene. I'm just a bit confused as to how to safely install ROM's on the note.
I've attached a screenshot of my "about phone" so you guys can tell me what kernel I should flash before installing different ROMs
The ROM(s) I'm interested in flashing are Jellybam, Sweet ROM (JB version) and Ultimate jellybean. Can these roms work with any safe kernel? i.e. once iv'e flashed philz or franco kernel I can let the flashing begin.
Also do I need to flash a safe kernel in order to install cyanogenmod or other, not based on stock roms?
Forgot to mention that I am rooted. Any help at all would be appreciated, if I am wrong about anything so far, feel free to set me straight.
Thanks to all who responded, if anyone else wants to reply feel free but i'm going to mark this as resolved so their won't be any confusion.

if you are on stock kernel then download Philz kernel for LP7, flash that in recovery, should give you root again aswell. then you can flash away to any of the ROMs you listed above. just every time you flash a ROM or think of factory reset or data wiping make SURE you're on a SAFE kernel. that's all
as you are rooted, just install any safe kernel like hydracore or philz. thats all. then you can try out any rom. Just make sure you follow the instruction to flash the rom in the OP
I saw that the Philz kernel has a lot of different versions, which one do I choose, am I right in saying the UBLPC one, as that is my build number? Or any one can work, I also read that you should not flash with the temp CWM, I will admit though I used the temp CWM to flash the root files and i'm still ok but I don't want to take any chances, how do I flash with the stock recovery?

First, forget about the franco kernel. The franco kernel for the Note is outdated and thus useless. Second, if you plan to flash a JB leak the only kernel you should use is PhilZ. And especially important with the JB leaks is to stick exactly to the instructions how to flash. Otherwise your phone won't even boot.
Have fun with your device! The Note is still an outstanding phone.

Thanks guys for the quick replies, i'm gonna flash the philz kernel now and give the leaked version of JB a try.
