First off i am kind of a noob and haven't flashed any rom ext.
I have a rooted captivate on stock 2.3.5 and wanted to know how to get ICS.
Any advice on the easiest way to do this or ROMs that you recommend would be great
Thanks
If you have cwm...ask you need to do is, factory reset and format /system in recovery and flash the ROM, when that's done it'll probably boot back into recovery (which will probably look different because its the ics kernel recovery) and flash the Rom once more, and you're done.
Thanks, but what is cwm and how do I get the ics rom on my phone
Also how do I back up the phone so I don't lose all of my data?

Cwm= clockwork mod recovery.
How did you root, a custom kernel swap? If so that's got cwm.
you can transfer the ROM via usb...or download it directly to your phone.
backup your contacts to your gmail and/or Sim card (i do both)
Download and run titanium backup to backup your apps.

First, back everything up like studa recommended. If you are not on a custom kernel, download the speedmod kernel and odin in my attachments. Then download an ICS rom that you like. Put the rom on your phone. Open Odin on your computer, and select the speedmod kernel in the PDA section. Put your phone into download mode and flash the kernel. After the flash is done and your phone reboots, remove your battery to turn off your phone. Reboot into recovery and navigate to install zip/install custom zip and navigate to your chosen rom. After it installs, install it again from the new ICS recovery screen (it's probably different colored). Then, reboot your device and wait a few minutes for your rom to start. Afterwards, the apps, contacts, etc. can be restored.
There is a lot of talk about fried chip sets and dead phones with the note, is that when flashing or is it for rooting as well?
I would love to root as a few apps I want requires superuser privileges, but I want to make sure that I don't kill brick my phone in the process..
the BIGGEST issue is doing a factory reset on a STOCK ICS KERNEL
flash a safe kernel, and you will be fine !
Ok. But if I only need root access, could I not just refrain from doing a factory reset?
Is the problem really that with root access doing a factory reset in 4.0.3 can killbrick the phone?

In order to root the phone you can do it by several methods. The best method i would reccomend you is to flash a rooted kernel which is safe like the speedmod kernel n7000. The kernel will give you root as well remove the probability of you bricking the phone. It is also a very stable kernel.
Ok. But just so I am sure about this. If i root my phone and down flash another kernel. I cannot do a factory reset on my phone without it going brick?
So far i have not rooted, and I have not yet tried to do a factory reset since my ICS update a week ago. How about factory reset on stock non rooted? Would that kill the chop set?
I just don't see how rooting should make the difference between brick or no brick. If that is all I am doing
rooting does not cause the brick, Doing a factory reset / full wipe ON A STOCK ICS KERNEL causes the brick
If you flash a safe kernel such as abyss or speedmod, you can do a factory reset as much as you like !
I've tried 6-7 different roms, some were tweaked ICS roms and a few were CM9 based. I always flash Abyss kernel 4.2 and then wipe in recovery without any issues. If you go beyond root and decide to start flashing everything under the sun, it helps to have a gingerbread rom backed up that you can flash as a clean and safe starting point. Just read, search and ask as many questions as you need and you'll be fine. Its been said many many times but never perform any wipe without a safe kernel installed, that means wipes from recovery or inside the phones normal menu system. Once you adapt to it, the Note is just like any other Android device and really quite easy to tweak and play with.

@azzledazzle Can I just double check? I'm on GB. If I flash ICS, is the consensus recommending a flash of the stock, with a Speedmod kernel afterward using ODIN? Does this setup allow you to do something like a nandroid backup, i.e. do any of the modded kernals install CWM?
yes, use ODIN to flash ICS, One completed, let the phone boot, Then go back to download mode and flash speedmod, or some other safe kernel.
Speedmod will inject CWM and root into the device, So there you can make nandroids and upgrade to a different ICS Custom ROM
Would another way to do it be to follow the dr. K guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18978158&postcount=1
And then get the franco kernel from play store?

Hello,
I'm new at flashing but I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note, which already had Stock ICS on it.
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband: N7000XXLPT
Kernel: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
Got brickbug confirmed that I am running a dangerous eMMC chip firmware. I bought this Note from eBay and I'm guessing the previous owner did a reset. It is still working and I had no trouble with it, so I guess I got lucky.
Since I would like to return to a safer kernel and install Paranoid Android I read myself into some threads but would like someone to review what I've gatherd:
Flash save kernel for ICS, for example speedmod kernel with PC Odin.
Device should reboot into ICS with new kernel.
Flash Gingerbread stock ROM for my country (germany) for example this one:
N7000XXKJ4 ------ 2.3.5 2011 october-------- N7000OXAKJ4 ------------------Germany (Debitel)
Device should restart wirh Gingerbread and an old Gingerbread kernel(?)
Root and install CWM using Dr. Ketans guide and batch file.
Follow instructions to install Paranoid Android v0.4 from CWM
I have some questions for this as well:
Speedmod kernel flashes CWM with it. Does that mean it flashes the kernel and the recovery partion, too? As I understood, the CWM works from inside the initramfs, which I thought got flashed with the kernel on the /system partion (or maybe the /boot partion) but not on the /recovery.
Does CWM disapear, when I flash another ROM?
I am pretty sure, that I am running a free (= open) Version of ICS on the phone. When I install a Stock Gingerbread ROM with a Carrier afterwards (like above the Debitel company), do I have to expect weired stuff?
I am running Win 7 64bit, and I would run Odin v1.85 with admin rights. Kies ist installed. Odin found the device, too.
Thanks in advance,
gador
Speedmod Kernel will install Kernel, CWM and Root - And is flashable via odin or mobile odin.
CWM will disappear if you flash a stock ROM via ODIN, If you flash a custom ROM through CWM you will keep CWM (may change depending on kernel from the ROM)
If you flash a branded ROM via odin, You will probably get a lot of carrier branded bloatware on the device, But if you are sim unlocked, you wont get any weird issues like network unlock codes and so on.

So I guess, I can go ahead and they're no fatal flaws in my procedure?
(And flashing stock ROMS overrides /recovery as well?)
Check the videos in ky sig once
Just to be safe
Erm, All ROMs are different so double check in the OP but you wont lose CWM if you switch between custom ROMs, Only a full firmware flash via ODIN will replace recovery. However there are many variations of CWM, All however do the same job
the instructions above are correct, But seem to be a more complicated way of doing it, It says to flash a safe ICS kernel, THEN flash GB ROM in ODIN ??? That makes no sense.
Anyway, What i would do is, Revert to GB via ODIN, Flash SpeedMod kernel (for GB not ICS), Load all the files on to your SD card, Boot into recovery, Do a full wipe, Along with cache and dalvik cache, Then install PA + Gapps + any other mods !

would it then be necessary at all to install the SpeedMod kernel? I included it above to make sure, the kernel is safe, but when the Gingerbread Stock ROM overrides the kernel, do I have to flash the kernel afterwards?
I suggest you stay stock and dont do any factory reset or data wipe.
Then READ and read a LOT of the topics here.
All these suggestions of flashing this and that comes with a risk. And it does not mean that if it works for others will work the same way for you.

I'd say no. I mean, as I understand it, you're flashing the device in download mode. There is no need for a root user.
So, against my inner "good angel", who told me to wait for a new official firmware release, I went ahead and flashed away.
It all worked and here is what I did:
Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.
Restarted and got lots of force close issues.
Flashed the Gingerbread Kernel SpeedMod from here ("speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-12-Odin.tar")
Rebooted, continued to have force close issues.
Rebooted into Recovery (which is now CWM, due to Kernel update)
Wiped cache, dalvik cache and did a factory reset
Rebooted into a fully working Gingerbread OS
Placed PA v0.4 and GApps onto my SD Card (from here)
Rebooted into CWM Recovery
Applied PA v0.4 from SD-Card
Applied GApps from SD-Card
Wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache and did a factory reset
Rebooted into a workind Paranoid Android OS.
Although the SpeedMod Kernel got overridden by PA, I still have CWM Recovery.
Did you root first? and did you get the yellow triangle through flashing with PC Odin?
PS
I'm still dead scared about flashing a ROM after messing up my last gnote, never ever had a problem with my desire...it's shook my confidence tbh :-(

Well, the SpeedMod Kernel not only gave me CWM, but also root. According to PA Thread Install instructions, you would need to root your device prior to installing PA.
Yes, after flashing the SpeedMod Kernel, I got the yellow triangle, but since I bought this phone on eBay, without any bill to confirm warranty, I didn't really care about it.
I did not get a yellow triangle after flashing the official Stock ROM!
So I would hazzard to guess that this would not void warrany. (Also, in Download Mode, there was the little text saying: "Custom Binary: No" after flashing the Stock Gingerbread ROM)
So, if I were concerned about warrany, I would have a second look at Dr. Ketans guide, which describes the CWM+Root procedure without increasing the binary counter (at least I think so).
This way, you could get root and CWM after flashing to Stock Gingerbread.
I just had the problem, that Gingerbread wouldn't allow me to go into the Settings Tab to activate Debbuging, which you will need for Dr. Ketans method. (All processes were getting force closed)
If it is possible to wipe the caches and factory reset the phone with stock recovery, I think it would work. It should look like this then:
Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.
Restart to Recovery. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache and do a factory reset (You just flashed Gingerbread Stock, which should have given you a safer kernel)
Restart
Activate USB Debugging and untrusted sources.
Follow Dr. Ketans Guide on how to Root+ get CWM
Continue from step 8 above.
Since I consider myself a complete noob to the flashing business, someone should propably confirm, what I've just written. I wanted to be on the safe side and therefore flashed a known safe kernel again over Gingerbread, just to be sure (and to get root+CWM)
Hope that helped.
Well mine didn't :-(
I'm now cursing after my planned upgrade failed :-( I'm stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen wondering what to do
My sequence was
a) Unpack SGN, and it upgraded to ICS
b) read about all the dire warnings on ICS - and curse!
c) figure out how to flash speedmod and get root via the temp CWM - and I was pretty happy about this for a few days..
d) battery life seemed poor - so I wondered if the Abyss kernel would help
e) Went into Recovery - which appeared to be CWM (volume & on/off to navigate) and flashed the Abyss kernel and performed a wipe (assured that my SGN was safe with speedmod)
f) Now stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen - wondering what to do?
My recovery seems to be the touch screen version now - when I can get into it.
Suggestions please?
(My old nexus One wasn't this tricky!)

Wll I reflashed speedmod with Odin - and at least it looks like its booting!... anxious minutes later.... well I/m back. I don't know what i did wrong - but |I don't want to repeat that in a hurry.
I'll wait for CM9 to come out with an approved kernel before messing further!
Hi good folk!
I have my son's new GN and I want to help him to safely update to ICS OTA and root.
Is it safe and possible to go from unrooted GB, do the OTA update to ICS, then flash n' root the SpeedMod kernel via Odin?
It's wipe and restore with default ICS kernel that's unsafe if I've read right?
Thanks for your help!
Ok, I sound like a total noob, I admit it!
Safest way to get speed mod kernel onto unrooted stock ics please. I have been looking, but it's like spaghetti junction out there!
Thanks!
Yup, its wiping in recovery or factory resets which is causing problems. You should be able to safely upgrade to ICS.
Not sure about the kernel. Just read the stickies. I think it would be covered.
One advice: scrap stock ROM all together.. Flash something like Asylum ICS, or some safe custom ICS ROM based on stock ROM because frankly stock ICS sucks like hell.. if you need any help, feel free to PM me!
Sent from my Galaxy Note running ParanoidAndroid v0.4 using XDA Premium. xD
The safest and easiest method would be,
1. Upgrade to ICS via OTA
2. Root with temporary CWM method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647148
3. Get Mobile Odin from Google Play (or search in xda)
4. Flash latest speedmod kernel for ICS (k3-5 .tar) via mobile odin
5. Reboot to recovery and do wipe from there if needed
Great! Thanks for your helpful replies, much appreciated!
i suggest you to be on gb to stay on safest side otherwise ics is a pain in ass.. go upgrade i can't stop you
+1
Anything is not safe if you don't know how to use it properly...
I don't advise you to go OTA, as if you read there are many posts are there describing battery issue, FC, unable to go to deep sleep. what are happens is likely due to previous ROM junks (thogh may not happen in all cases, b'coz there state of ROM may be clear at time of OTA update)
What i suggest best thing is to go this way
-Take backup of important data, as you have unrooted GB so you have limited scope for backup, but there is lots of applications then worth to get Root (if your RO is directly rootable) then create backup with titanium or same other application. just backup only user applications only not system junk.
-Wipe cache and data fro recovery (you can get recovery with Vol Up+home+power)
-Download ICS ROM and flash using odin from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Here is installation and rooting guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26455511&postcount=2475
-Now you will feel fresh ICS experience. and you can restore your data which you have created earlier.
But if you dont have much application to backup, then escape root, Backup/restore steps i have mentioned. Contacts can be backup with google sync, as well from contact - import/export
and SMS can be backup with SMS backup and restore application
as well there is free appl for unroot ' My bakup" on market is good to backup these stuffs.
GoodLuck!
Edit : Yes wiping is not safe on ICS. but custom kernels are safer compare to stock. you can flash any safe kernel like CF,Franco,speedmod and some more (get it from development section) after finishing root ICS.
Just remember golden rule, avoid deleting big files, wipe and recovery function on ICS. then you are safe.
Ahh wow thanks but too late! My son started playing with his phone before I could speak to him last night, and this morning I looked at his phone and saw it had ICS. Either this phone came preinstalled with ics, or I suspect that it updated when he turned on wifi, as auto update was ticked.
So I root, flash speedmod kernel and reboot to recovery to be safe from the bad bug, then install a custom ics rom over the ota stock rom?
One question please. So I'm on stock ics from ota. After flashing speedmod kernel and rebooting to recovery, is it then safe to wipe cache and dalvik after doing this, and before installing a custom ics rom?
Many thanks again..bowled over by responses to a noob from respected xda peeps!
Okay, I'm on the Speedmod kernel and already the stock ota ics is visibly smoother. one step at a time!
Speedmod kernel is.safer.then stock.and disabled emmc erase cap command to remove brick bug. But still to be safe side avoid unnecessarily wipe as well.recovery function till that's not must. Here nobody claim 100% safe like gb kernel.

Hey all,
Quite confused here, taking the advice from the older threads I flashed using odin the stock firmware which I got from samfirmware and followed the instructions. Everything installed correctly however the phone will not boot :S
I ticked only PDA in which I entered the md5 file.
Came from cm9 nightly and flashed United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse) 2012 July 4.0.4 N7000XXLRK N7000CPWLP5
Any help is appreciated and needed urgently - Thank you.

did you make a nandroid?
if you could get into recovery, (and you still have CWM) it would imply that you did not successfully flash the tw-based kernel.
no tw-based kernel means that a TW-based rom will not boot (unless you had hydracore)
buut... if you do have the stock ICS kernel on there, and try to flash anything, you could brick.
so best bet is to flash GB via odin, then flash CWM, SU, and then flash a custom ROM with a safe kernel in it.
pretty dangerous to even use stock ICS rom
when u say phone will not boot? is it blank or stuck on GT N7000 logo or the Samsung glowing logo?
Its stuck on glowing Samsung logo, I'm in download mode now - what is the best option for me? Might just flash GB rom

getting into recovery is the opposite of getting into download mode. use power button/ volume up/ home instead of power button/volume down/home
but IMO safest thing to do at all is to just get yourself onto a safe kernel before doing anything else.
flash yourself a stock pre-rooted GB ROM via odin.

this way you will ensure that you are on a safe kernel.
from there get yourself a working version of CWM and move on to whatever ROM you want.
are you trying to flash stock ICS for a service request for the phone, etc? you might be much better off with any stock-based ICS rom.
if after this you REALLY REALLY want a stock ICS rom, then use mobile odin to flash the ROM but use a 'safe' stock kernel with mmc_cap_erase disabled.
this is the closest you can get to bone stock but safe. (this will not even get you rooted).
another advantage of starting with pre-rooted GB stock and going from there is no raised flash counter either.

Doing this now, hope it works - using the GB rom from when I first rooted (from GB) so hopefully should work
its just a matter of doing a wipe cache and wipe dalvik and data wipe. but as u on ics u can't. unless u install a safe kernel. If you installing gb, then after that reboot into recovery
vol up + pwr + home and then do a data factory reset, wipe cache and all should be good

it's possible, but quite unlikely, that you have already hardbricked your phone between flashing stock ICS via odin and the boot.
more likely than not you are fine.
next time remember to make a nandroid. and never flash stock ICS kernels (or especially flash anything while already on a stock ICS kernel). these are the top 2 rules of having an n7000. if you follow them in teh future you will never have any problems
and please thank me if my posts helped
FWIW there were reports of hard bricks using the new stock JB kernel too, as Samsung decided to patch the bug 'their own way', which didn't seem to work. so only thing which is 100% safe is when mmc_cap_erase is disabled
Ah Relief - Finally got the phone booted into GB rom. How can I now install the Stock unrooted ICS room? Can't I just upgrade using OTA? I'm selling the note on ebay so need it to be fresh ICS.
as the phone is in the boot loop its clear indication that it's a data corruption problem and not a brick at all. Just need that wipes after ics install on a safe kernel

Thanks for this, you're right it wasn't a brick - I'm now on a safe GB rom but really want this note to be in a stock unrooted ICS rom for the person buying it off me.
Connect to kies and update. If not use the same ics rom and flash it using odin. This time phone will start.
Before that while on gb do a factory reset.. connect to pc and format internal storage for you to get rid of all data
edit:
post removed.
if you are selling it, then I guess bone stock (without even safe kernel) is the way to go
just bear in mind with my method it is possible to get onto stock unrooted ICS but with a kernel without the bug.
I am not 100% certain if the phone will update OTA with that kernel though, so I guess use the other method
guitarplayerone said:
with all due respect- this is not true.
yes, in the general case, this is a sign of a softbrick. and if he never mentioned a stock ROM, it would definitely be a soft brick
however, there have been folks with hard bricks who have had /system and /data partitions screwed up who have even booted all the way into the OS. yes HARD brick. implying that there are actual corrupted partitions.
updating to stock ICS rom will put the affected kernel right back on his phone.
flashing another kernel from the affected kernel brings chance of a hard brick. (yes even though hypothetically you are only flashing /boot. but would you really take that chance with /boot? there have been reports of other partitions besides /data and /system being messed up, FYI)
it makes much more sense to flash the ROM via mobile odin, which gives you the option to flash a safe kernel at the same time.
this way OP is never on an unsafe kernel.
just because very few people bricked from flashing a safe kernel off off stock ICS doesn't mean that it isn't possible.

So if I use the OTA install method, there is a risk of bricking my device? I really don't think the person buying my phone will fiddle around with roms and kernels - so what do you reckon I should do? Does mobile Odin download a safe kernel for me?

Flash stock GB over odin.
if you wanted to be nice to the user, you could flash a ROM with a CSC corresponding to whatever region they are located in. That way you can factory reset and it will show up in the language they are used to.
If he is on stock, it will automatically go look for updates and tell him he could update
