[Q] Aussie Note - need some pointers on root and kernel versioning - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
new to the GNote forums, but been playing with android for some time now.
Just needing some tips on the way to gain rooted GB on my note.
im not super interested in getting ICS yet....but could be swayed
From what i can tell, i need to odin flash a pre-rooted gb rom (in particular an LC1 version of the rom) and then to flash a LC1 version of the kernel to suit. Sound about right?
My current plan is to
1. flash LC1 Open Europe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025 with PC odin
2. flash LC1 kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 with flasher included in download
3. enjoy rooted phone.
My phone is currently stock (only got it a day ago) and am on Optus in Australia. I am running the following spec according to "settings/about phone"
Android 2.3.6
BBand N7000XXLB2
Kernel 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701
Build GINGERBREAD.XXLC1
does my plan above sound right for this phone?
I'm well versed in flashing phones, but coming over from the X10 its a very different technique and there are lots of different files to match up that im just not 100% on yet
cheers guys, already super happy to be a samsung user - love the note!

I have a French note from Kogan that I've had for a couple of months. I just updated to ICS via Odin last night and then rooted it. I'm on Telstra here in oz. It seems ok and the internet seems faster and more stable but I'll know more after a full week of use. Its my first Samsung so although I had rooted phones before I was a bit nervous about using Odin and the brick bug terrified me.

Yes your plan sounds right - follow Dr Ketan's thread in the Development forum.
I bought a Note via UK - turned out to be Polish (it was one of the first released last November). I rooted it using Zergrush then always used CWM, so while Odin works I prefer to use Clockwork Mod as I can do all the flashing on the phone.
Some other things that may help..
I'm on Telstra and never (touch wood) had any modem / Nexg G/Wi-fi issues)
On Gingerbread I found AbyssNote kernel to be one of the best (everyone uses 4.2 version when flashing to ICS so you may find it useful to download) Not sure what my original baseband was but have used others and they all seem to be ok - maybe I'm just lucky!
Also Rocket Rom on Gingerbread and ICS seems to be reliable as well.
So if you feel the need to ICS - use the above kernel and ROM and follow instructions on RocketRom OP.
Haven't found a dedicated kernel or firmware version for the Australian Note, but since I'm on Polish one so far everything seems to work.
Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of the Galaxy Note - had it over eight months and never tire of it

thanks guys!
i took the plunge the other night - i figured that i had read as much as i could read and just dove in.
First up i Odin flashed a pre-rooted rom (LC1).
That was nice for a little while, but i wanted more
I then flashed the CF Root kernel on so i could have CWM. This was nice, i was able to take a nand backup so i could always go back to stock if i needed to.
Now, i was getting the hang of the methods for this phone. I used CWM to flash on CheckRom v6 (GB) but i really wanted to go for ICS.
I read that as i was on a non standard kernel GB rom, i could go straight there. Guess what? thats what i did next
Im currently running Paranoid Android v0.5 and am loving it!
Loving the Note, it makes my work iPhone 4 feel more and more redundant each day

[Q] I'm behind on firmware updates!

The last thing I did was root and install CWM months ago. I've had several firmware update alerts on my phone and of course I cant apply them because I have CWM installed. So my question is, how do I get updated to the latest firmware (or should I, I would hate to break root) or how do I, from the position I am in now, install a custom rom with a more current firmware? Here are my numbers: Android Version 2.3.6, Baseband Version: N7000XXKK5,Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKK9-CL725676, Build Number: Gingerbread.XXKK9.
You can install any latest ROM from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Just use CWM to keep your root intact.
See post #2 of same thread, how to update ROM with CWM.
Awesome, thanks for the link dr.ketan . So with the current vanilla update and some custom roms out there am I better off with the newest vanilla firmware update, or do some custom roms include the latest firmware along with better bells and whistles? Oh and my phone came from germany. If I install the newest samsung firmware, should I choose the "Open Germany" Not Directly Rootable update from the link you provided? I understand I can root it later since I'm already rooted on the rom I'm on.
You can use open germany lc1(as such i m that only)
Here correcting some words, you can't root it later, but you hav to keep intact while you flash lc1, n that can be done with cwm.
Read detail guide on thread i said u on previous msg.

LOL. Don't confuse him. Here is someone who did not even flash a custom ROM of existing (crappy I agree) GB and you are asking him to flash a ICS ROM which is based on a leak that was never meant for GNOTE.
P.S: With all due respects to Stunner (I am on it and enjoying too)
So Flash open germany LC1 and use the guide to keep root on LC1. Got it. Thanks so much! Yeah Im not ready to install any beta ICS roms yet.

[Q] Perfect ROM

Hi doods
I'm A new G noter
I want to ask about a perfect ROM based on official.
I had Xperia Neo before this one and theres a very very good ROM for xperias
by the name of SE.Tweaked.
it's absolutly the official ROM that excess app and sys app are removed on it.
is there any thing like that for note that deliver a speed and costumization ability beside that every thing working perfectly on it(pen and ...)
Thanks a lot
Rocket & Litening ftw!

For custom GB roms, I have tried Rocket rom and the newer Litening rom. In my opinion, both are great and definitely worth considering.
For the GB, I have tried DarkyRom, ChrackRom, CheckRom, Cassie's XtraLiteRom, and Litening Rom. I found them very comparable in performance and battery life. For ChrackRom you have option to install a full, small, and extra small rom. I am using Litening Rom right now. I might go back to ICS Stunner rom, I like the Stunner rom except that it is not as stable as the GB roms in my SGN.

I really like ICS Stunner too, but you might want to exercise caution using that or any other ICS LP5/LP6 leak based ROMS until an issue with potentially hardbricking your phone during flashing is resolved.
If you're interested, there's a still experimental (but as far as hardbricking safer) ICS CM9 build that's really cool over here:

Hiya there ! I'll seize this opportunity to avoid creating a post of my own then ! I'm like Arasl, though i bought my GNote in february and i'm still running a non-root, stock ROM because i'm sort of "afraid of flashing".
First, i've never done it before, and since i'm a Linux user i've been searching for ways to do it through linux instead of the Odin/windows method but i'm now pretty much resigned to use Odin (seems simpler, methods actually do exist and there's more feedback, though any hint towards linux-oriented methods would be great).
I've restrained myself from flashing ever since i saw the brick-related posts from ICS Stunner ROM and i do NOT want to flash that ROM.
My questions are then following :
1) Is it possible to ROOT the phone without flashing on Kernel version 2.6.35.7 - N7000XXLC1 ?
2) If it is unsafe to flash ICS-based ROMs, is it 100% safe to flash gingerbread-based custom ROMs or is there still an important risk of bricking the phone?
I can imagine most people will answer yes to the previous question and in that case, which ROM would you advise that is both light (and smooth, since the stock ROM is a little laggy on the edges) and the most battery-saving?
Thanks for any hints to existing posts, i've been looking around but i just don't have the time to read the hundreds of pages of custom stock roms to compare them all by myself ;-)
Just use the latest cm9. Very safe and beautiful. If you need the spen functionality then use gb..

If by any means you are ready to work on windows, i would gladly help you in all these...although in a RISK on anything happens on completely you only.
I, too as being flasholhoic, flashed almost every ROM here in the development section both GB and ICS, every kernel, so i will try my best to avoid any risk but god-only-knows-the-best. As per your question,
1. Yes you can root your stock rom without flashing on Kernel version 2.6.35.7 - N7000XXLC1, Go here and select the right kernel and follow the procedure.
2. Official CM9 is the only (yet most) safest ICS build here, the rest being suffered by the ultimate phenomenal hardbrick bug. And yes its safe to flash any GB rom until you are switching it from GB to GB rom only.
The most important thing, take enough time to read read and read (even query) the instruction before flashing anything, or else you can have ample amount to time to read anything with coffee placed on your new bricked note. Choice is yours.

[Q] SGN Rooted. Which ROM now?

Hey, Sorry for the Noob question but I rooted my Note a couple of days ago (Still a Newbie) and was wondering which ROMs would be best to flash now.
I've been using the rooted phone but I couldn't find much of a difference in performance or anything. Actually, I don't even know how or what to remove to increase performance and battery life.
So if you guys could just help me out with this it would be real Helpful!
Question :
Which ROM is the easiest to work with? Since I'm a newbie I have a whole lot of chance that I might just do something stupid and end up with a Hard-bricked phone.
Any help is appreciated..!
Once again, I apologize for being a noob. I haven't really learned a lot about android phone since this is my first!
The first thing I'm going to ask you is, what is your current installed ROM? Stock GB or stock ICS?
If it's still in stock GB (2.3.6), I was using CheckRom Revo HD.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQGdSuJBgRA
This video gives you some overview on what that ROM is capable of. (Video courtesy of the original maker: aphroditelikesme)
It gives you some customization while giving you a boost in your battery life. Please read and read on the appropriate forums here in xda on how to install and use this ROM (if you want to)
Now if you want to upgrade to ICS stock 4.0, then can upgrade your ROM thru the standard way, OTA or thru PC KIES. Either way, your phone gets updated with the official firmware and remains rooted still. You may want to check www.samfirmware.com for new official ICS firmware of your region.
On my personal note, I reckon ICS gives me much better life than when I was using GB. Don't forget to install the indispensable tools like Titanium backup so that you can freeze or uninstall samsung's bloatwares there by releasing some needed rams on your phone's memory and also increasing some juices on it.
Hope that helps bud and wish all the best!
Cheers!
PS. Don't forget the 'Thank' button if I have helped you in some way or the other..

Firstly, Thanks! I could use all the help I get!
Now, coming to the point. I am running Rooted Stock ICS 4.0.3 XXLP8.
Yes, I have installed Titanium Backup and have freezed some of the unusable Samsung applications which always kept running and slowed down my phone..!
I might flash GB for some custom ROM but I would prefer keeping it on ICS cause flashing GB and then some ROM would put me at a higher risk of bricking the phone.
Could you suggest some ICS based ROMs which might be easy for a first timer to handle?
I can flash other ROMs later when I am confident enough not to brick my phone.

Well, sorry to break your bubble bud but I'm not an ardent fan of custom ICS ROMS. I prefer the stock one for now. Personally Touchwiz ain't that bad (in my opinion).
Since your still using 4.0.3, try to just consider upgrading it to 4.0.4. By the way I am already on 4.0.4.
There are tons of stock firmwares for 4.0.4, depending on where your from. Try to use a kernel that's pretty much close to stock itself. I'm currently using SpeedMod v3.9 for now and I must say, From the stock kernel that I was using before (CF root LRG 4.0.4), the battery life on my phone have increased tremendously.
Now if you really still want to try out some other custom ROMS, you can try to read and read on this development thread here or get some reviews from other users as well.
JellyBean is almost a working ROM but I still prefer the stock 4.0.4 ICS one..why? let's just say I prefer to use my Note's 'all' features working and using it as a daily driver.
Cheers!

I don't think 4.0.4 is out in India yet (It wasn't there the last time I checked). I'll still keep checking in from time to time though and upgrade as soon as possible.
If I were to stay on 4.0.3 can I still use the SpeedMod v3.9 kernel you're talking about? Also, I could really use a link on how to flash the new kernel as you might have figured out by now, I'm a Newbie
You can flash DXLRG (open germany) or the latest one (DXLRK) to just upgrade it to 4.0.4
For Asian release, I heard there's one already for SingTel but I'm not sure though if it comes with an Indian language pack on it.
Anyway, if you just want to stay on 4.0.3, YES you can still use SpeedMod kernel.** http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-note-ics-download.html
Download the kernel to your SD card (internal or external)
Now since your rooted, download Mobile Odin, run it, grant access thru Superuser and go to the kernel section inside Mobile Odin pro and look for the kernel that you earlier saved from the download.
After that, just tap on flash firmware (inside Mobile Odin still) and that would restart your phone and once booted, you now have a new kernel already.

[Q] ROM Suggestion

I know you guys are probably sick of this question, but I really would like to hear what ROM you guys recommend for the Samsung galaxy S i897 captivate. There are soooo many choices. I am used to using gingerbread on my previous phone, so I am looking for gingerbread or higher (I am @ 2.2 froyo now) , with stability being #1 importance. Thanks for your suggestions.

We're up to Jelly Bean now, if you're on froyo, you'll need to flash the GB bootloaders (can be found in the dev section in stickies).
If you're looking for stability over anything, AOCP by the Collective would be my suggestion. Of course, every user have their preference but the 2 most stable ROMs I've used on JB are AOKP by Sixstrings and AOCP (either stock kernel or semaphore).
Keep in mind that the more mods you make once on your ROM, the more chance you have to break something (that goes for any ROM).

As he said, make sure you get the bootloaders installed before moving forward. As for my two cents on which ROM to choose... I haven't used AOCP since it first released so it is undoubtedly much further along than the original build. My personal favorite is Hellybean but with the installer the dev uses you end up having to download a large file compared to other ROMs.
Thanks, I am doing a lot of reading. *head explode*
I liked Andromeda and AOCP.
Since the phone is used, I restored to factory (but it stayed @ 2.2). Looks like I need to go to 2.1 factory. From reading I think I should use the Heimdall method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266172 to revert to stock and flash GingerBread Boot-loader. Then I will follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983079 to install AOCP (JellyBean 4.1.2).
Very nervous about this lol.
Thanks guys.

Actually, you should be getting stock KK4 (GB): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
From there, you get Odin 1.85 flash Corn Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477 - This will give you root.
Now you can flash the ROM you want in cwm recovery as per their instructions.
Happy flashing!

[Q] Going to flash to a safe rom on my Note GT-N7000 on 4.0.4 but i have questions

Hi Everyone
After waiting for a year now and it seems that Samsung didn't released any newer updates for my Note GT-N7000 at my country. I was hoping for them to release an update to prevent that "MMC_CAP_ERASE bug? that causes hardbrick" that i have been hearing around here..
But now i got tired of waiting and Now I want to try to root/flash to a safe custom rom, Since i am currently having some problems with my Note now. It's acting a little weird like apps not functioning properly and deleting a small MB file on Internal Memory it takes very long to get it deleted Annoying artifacts appearing during at Dark or Black scenes while watching a video. Using Earphones while watching a video the audio sometimes got muted itself then for a few seconds it resumes back with audio back on repeatedly.
I have only experience on rooting and flashing my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 but i had a soft brick thanks to the person who posted misleading instructions that causes this to happen. But eventually i managed to recovered from the soft brick and successfully flashing to a JB custom rom
Yeah before you asked me "have you read this Important thread ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 " Yes I have already read everything on the first post by dr ketan at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Anyway, Here is my Information i found on my Note.
Model Number is GT-N7000.
Android Version 4.0.4 Stock ICS.
Baseband version N7000DXLR1.
Kernel Version 3.0.1.5-N7000DXLR5-CL968032
Build Number IMM76D.DXLR5
Here are my questions,
[Q Number 1]
I have already read everything on the first post by dr ketan. I notice there's so many of methods to root the Note. But I'm not sure which one is the safest and easiest method to Root and Flash Hopefully someone here is kind to guide me through the process since this is my first time rooting and flashing on a Note GT-N7000 running on Android 4.0.4 Stock ICS.
[Q Number 2]
There's tons of JB custom roms everywhere! I'm not sure which one is the best and popular one. I'm looking for a fast and stable Jellybean custom rom that are currently available for my Note GT-N7000.
I will be waiting and checking this thread regularly

I have only experience on rooting and flashing my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 but i had a soft brick thanks to the person who posted misleading instructions that causes this to happen. But eventually i managed to recovered from the soft brick and successfully flashing to a JB custom rom

Here are my questions,
[Q Number 1]
I have already read everything on the first post by dr ketan. I notice there's so many of methods to root the Note. But I'm not sure which one is the safest and easiest method to Root and Flash Hopefully someone here is kind to guide me through the process since this is my first time rooting and flashing on a Note GT-N7000 running on Android 4.0.4 Stock ICS.
[Q Number 2]
There's tons of JB custom roms everywhere! I'm not sure which one is the best and popular one. I'm looking for a fast and stable Jellybean custom rom that are currently available for my Note GT-N7000.

The safest and easiest way to flash ROM and get ROOT at the same time is using Odin Mobile, which offers option for getting ROOT.
You can use Stock ROM LT4.
For most popular custom ROMs : Eybee1970, Team Union, Alliance, Sweet,
ThaiDai ROM for slim and mutillanguage, Glory ROM also for multilanguage with mods.
There are a lot of other good ROMs here, you have to read more to find out what suits better to your taste.

Hi Everyone
After waiting for a year now and it seems that Samsung didn't released any newer updates for my Note GT-N7000 at my country. I was hoping for them to release an update to prevent that "MMC_CAP_ERASE bug? that causes hardbrick" that i have been hearing around here..
But now i got tired of waiting and Now I want to try to root/flash to a safe custom rom, Since i am currently having some problems with my Note now. It's acting a little weird like apps not functioning properly and deleting a small MB file on Internal Memory it takes very long to get it deleted And annoying artifacts appearing during at Dark or Black scenes while watching a video.

Bump for more replies
The safest and easiest way doesn't exist. It's up to you.
And best Rom threads and questions are simply against XDA policy, read the rules and you'll see.

Hello there
I'm really sorry if i just break some of the rules here. I wonder if it's okay for me to just follow the recommended method 1A by dr ketan ? Now i am in PhilZ thread i suppose i have to find my own Galaxy Note Kernel Version first right ? which is DXLR5 so i guess i have to download this kernel here http://www.mediafire.com/?c2jmfqnwajw8ei1 .PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v3.99 Then flash it in the menu called Stock Recovery (VolumeUP+HOME+POWER button)
I found out that my Baseband version has a DXLR1 in there. Should i be worry on this ?
The PhilZ kernel file listed v3.99 there. my Kernel Version is 3.0.1.5-N7000DXLR5-CL968032, Example when i managed to flash that kernel. I guess that my Kernel Version will changed to like 3.9.9.9 am i right ? or it is not okay to just flash to latest updated kernel like v3.99 ?
I hope it's okay to just answer my newbie questions here. I need someone to help me and tell me whether if i did it right or wrong.
Thank you very much

No problem when you see :
- Baseband DXLR1
- Difference between 3.99 and 3.0.1.5-N7000DXLR5-CL968032.The first is the Philz own version, the second is the Samsung one.
It's normal.

1.As far as rooting method is concerned on said thread, all the methods are safe. there are pros and cons of different method and already mentioned on thread.
I do recommend 1A, as it will root device as well gives you protection from brick bug and without raising flash counter too. So in case you want to go that way, download LR5 philx kernel in zip version and flash from stock recovery.
2.See ROM selection is totally depends on own taste, you can never rely on others answer, but best way go through OP of custom ROM thread, read features mentioned, read some reviews/bugs and try it yourself. that's the only and best way.

First of all, Dr Ketan Thank you very much for helping me with this. I really appreciate your help Yeah i understand what you're trying to mean about that custom ROMs I will take a look at all of them later.
But now I want to see if i got it right again. I will flash it after you give me the final confirmation i need :victory:
1. Find my own stock Kernel build code DXLR5 then go to PhilZ thread and find PhilZ Kernel that listed my Kernel code which is PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v3.99 then download it After that Connect a USB cable to the computer + Note then copy the PhilZ kernel and place at Root dir of External microSD card then turn off Galaxy Note, then hold VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER button for a few seconds to boot in Stock Recovery Menu then flash it at there. am i right ?
Last question here, Finding a Custom Rom that suit my needs might take awhile since i haven't read all of them yet. But i wonder if it's okay to stay in Stock ICS Android 4.0.4 + PhilZ Kernel ?

1.Yes, but remember you have to select zip version of kernel not tar
obviously there is nothing wrong to stay on stock with safe kernel till you couldn't find out best custom ROM for you.

Okay Yeah i got the signed version instead of that .tar version which is for ODIN.
Good News! i just flashed it and it works! I have SuperSU application installed. I really appreciate all your help that you have done dr ketan thank you very much. Now i have PhilZ CWM kernel. does it uses the same buttons to activate it like the stock recovery ? VOLUMEUP+HOME+POWER BUTTON,
