hi
i am on stock rooted ICS rom, with stock recovery and kernel..
I rooted this rom via some temporary cwm recovery which goes away after rebooting..
i rooted via busybox_supersu method via temporary cwm recovery.
Now how can I install new custom rom?
is a permanent cwm recovery necessary? if yes, from where can I download it? Or is it ok to flash abyss kernel via this temporary cwm?
Here's the ultimate root+cwm guide by dr. Ketan.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Just download the one for your kernel ( the last 3 numbers must match ) and run it. You'll have permanent root+cwm installed. If your kernel is not directly rootable, download and flash any of directly rootable firmwares first:

And then repeat the first step.
To install custom rom like CM9, all you have to do is copy the .zip to your phone, reboot into recovery, install the zip via CWM, wipe/clean cache and reboot.

hey guys. How to install simplicity ROM? Im currently on stock JVP with Galaxian Kernal. Never done flashing Custom ROM before. Can anyone provide steps to install it?.
First flash semaphore 1.5 via odin.
Copy the Simplicity 0.32 - Wipe CWM3 to ur sd card. not into any folders!!!
Go to recovery mode (HOME+VOL UP+POWER) do a factory reset - IT WILL ERASE ALL THE DATA IN UR PHONE SO PLS DO BACK THEM UP.
After rebooting again go to CWM recovery and install the "rom" .zip file and u are done. Then u can upgrade to 3.3 via the same way.
Its all there in the rom's thread itself. Check it out
" If you are on Gingerbread (2.3). Install a kernel with ClockWordMod (most recent ones do so. Boot into recovery (CWM) and flash the latest wipe version of Simplicity.
If you are on a previous version of Simplicity. Flash the new update zip or the new full no wipe zip in recovery (CWM)."

1- no problem at all.
2- yes. Flash stock rom with odin.
3- yes.
4- stay away from rom manager, it bricked ace.
one more thing... i see in the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18178563&postcount=13 that the falsh is with the old veriosn recovery.. if i have stock rom i need only to boot in stock rom and update from zip file: recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip . correct?
Questions 1-3 have been answered.
To flash a rom, download it from xda.
It will be a ZIP file.
Go to recovery, do the wipes, install the Rom, gapps if you whish, reboot. First Boot might take a while. No worries.
For detailed instructions see the thred of the Rom of your choice.
Cheers!

I flashed CWM via Rom Manager. I want to remove it so I can flash a new CWM and flash eaglesblood rom.
Flash to stock ROM by Smarflash

Not nessecary to remove or smartflash if you are going to install it again. Just upgrade/install it through the cable using .bat (on win), go to rusty`s cwm thread for download. If you want stock recovery, install stock recovery image by paul o brien.
Hi,
i came from CheckROM GB to ICS ROM.Initially tried both Criskelo's and Kingdroid and got stuck in nandroid backups and install zip into system.Hangs.Found out that the problem is partial root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828538.
Tried to reflash ROM with CF kernel,install SuperSU,superuser all failed
So right now i am going back to GB first to install ICS ROM then custom ICS ROM to get full root.
I looked at dr. ketan's thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 and downloaded the pre-rooted ROM SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip. I would like to claify something before i proceed.
-Currently on Kindroid + CF root kernel.I can just go ahead and start flashing the pre-rooted GB ROM right?safe?
-So after installation,"Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery"-Wipe everything from recovery meaning factory reset?
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)-any ICS ROM?

1-As such there is no issue to flash any GB ROM on Any stock/custom ROM. yes it is safe.
2- yes it will be factory reset, when you wipe data.
3-This step is righ if you want to use Mobile Odin Pro for stock ICS (for custom ROM you need to use CWM, not mobile odin)
Thanks for quick reply.
As by searching i am going to follow this step by step guide>http://www.geekyandroid.com/2012/05/how-to-downgrade-ics-on-samsung-galaxy.html (Have to turn OFF USB debugging?)
Does this pre-rooted ROM come with CWM?Once i factory reset it,does it retain root?
Yes said prerooted ROM having CWM
And hard reset doesn't erase root/CWM
Humble request, stick to XDA. Difficult to give opinion on all guides around planet.
Ha,OK..just randomly searching ard on google for downgrade steps.
Do u have a step by step guide on the GB downgrade part,the one i saw on yr sig is after flashing back to ICS.thanks for yr help!
Post #2 of first link on my signature have guide how to Install rootable GB ROM, here same way you can flash prerooted GB ROM.
OK just successfully flashed back to GB..Thanks!
sorry can i ask i can download any ics ROM?is there any recommendation?
For kernel selection,is it safe not to select CF root?will be get the partial root problem again?
You can have any stock ics
Use notecore kernel.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Ok.thanks.So thankful for yr patience and help!
In summary
I downloaded ICS stock ROM + NoteCore Kernel,open Mobile Odin,Flash them.So I would have Rooted ICS with custom kernel
then if i would like custom ICS ROM,i flash in CWM after install stock ROM:
-Need full wipe?
-is abyss kernel essential for flashing?
-OK to flash kernels other than CF root for custom ROM,root will stay intact?
Hello,
I have recently downgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6(using this Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000DDLB2.rar), kernel version LB2. Now, I am really struggling to understand what should be done next?
How can I root LB2? Do I have to downgrade it again to the lower version using PC odin? If yes, which is the safest one?
My main aim is to install a custom ROM.
EDIT: Ok, so I can see superuser app in my drawer(so it is rooted). I want to install a CWM recovery option so that I can flash kernel and flash custom roms. Sorry for the confusion.
use the three button option to go to custom recovery that must have come with your present rom
( vol up+power+home -- till you see N7000 logo, wait for recovery to appear)
from the options in this recovery flash whichever rom you want.
read the instructions in opening post of the rom you want first.
wipe data, cache, and in advanced -- dalvik and then flash zip file of the rom you must have placed on your sd card from before.

That is the issue. CWM recovery is not there.
what happens when you use three buttons for recovery ? blank screen ?
then download KL3 rom from Dr Ketans sticky thread and its corresponding rooting tools ( zergrush method) and flash that rom.....
or you could also try KJ1 from Dr Ketans signature, thats also pre-rooted, it will give you a recovery,
flash again indownload mode if you face simillar problems.
KL3 is reliable though.

I was not getting options to take backup, restore. Now I have installed CWM recovery using InitialCFRootFlasher method(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784).
I can see CWM now and also many option when I restart the mode in recovery mode.
Now, next step whether to flash a kernel and then flash a custom ROM? If I flash a kernel first, which one is compatible with 2.3.6 firmware?
u dont need to change kernel now on GB
u want to flash ICS custom rom right ?

This is one thing I have to explore now.
Any good custom rom would be good. Pleas suggest.
i just realised you should have posted in QA forum.
No matter which rom you decide to flash you must read the opening post and last couple of pages to get a fair idea.
ICS kernels and stock ics based kernels like CF root, - you cant wipe on them, factory data reset, flash new zip roms, nandroid restore, so be careful
my fav is Kingdroid v 7.4
but you can also flash the most recent release of Touchwiz official - LRQ and learn to root it and then install mobile odin and flash a safe kernel- its newest headline on this forum, worth it. :good: you can flash it with mods from Jeetu's thread in theme section.....
have fun
