I have read all threads about,but i want to know something:
If i flash a lp8 or lp9 via pc odin,no root, no cwm,just stock, and i do not make any flashing from recovery...is it safe to use lp8 / lp9 stock roms?
thank you
No, there is no 100% safe ICS kernel (except CM9 & Co., which are NOT based on Samsung's N7000 kernel so you lose some functions).
There are SpeedMod and franco's ics modified kernels that are supposed to workaround the bug, however at least 2 people reported bricks with them.
edit:
However, if you don't do a full wipe / factory reset or remove a big file, you should be safe.
If you do need to do a factory reset, make sure you're using a gb kernel, do the reset then flash whatever ICS kernel you want.
It is 100% safe! Follow dr ketan's guide and you will definitely get ur ics working

Yes, and if he bricks his device you are obligated to replace it.
There is ALWAYS a RISK, however MINIMUM it may seem.

Thank you for all your answers!
I will wait a little bit longer for ICS, 'cuz i do not want any problems...
migrating
hi, sorry if i posted a similar question like im about to ask,
currently running on lpy(germany) + cf-root kernel + lpt modem.
i wanna know if there are any safe methods to migrate to other lp9 roms?
thanks in advance
Morning,
I've got my GNote running a stock ICS ROM rooted with Dr. Ketan method, temporary CWM.zip / install SUBusybox.
I really want to start experimenting with custom ROMS and such but given the issue with ICS Kernel I want to downgrade to GB, root and have the option to safely mess about without fear of turning the beloved Note onto a paperweight...
I've been reading across this forum a while now and there's a few things I've came across, but I'd like to know the easiest way to revert to GB..
From what I see it need to download PC Odin, a UK GB Stock ROM and install it via Odin.
Anything I'm missing out here? Do I need to flash a safer CF-Root or Abyss kernel first?
Sorry for the questions but this is much different to the HTC Desire I messed with daily without problems..
Thanks,

to revert to GB its as simple as flashing a GB Firmware in ODIN
Then when you are on GB, Flash a kernel like speedmod, Which will give you CWM + Root too ! Or just root the stock GB kernel, which ever suits you
Then flash away

I reckon u flash abyss first to do full wipe..and after that u can enter download mode to flash stock gb through pc odin.

Kinda feel a bit out of my depth here, Given I use the phone for work also I'm reluctant to brick the little son of a *****..
That said, I want to get off of ICS until they (Samsung) sort this issue out
Phone shows Running:
Android: 4.0.3
Baseband: N7000xxLPT
Kernel: 3.0.15-N7000xxLQ2
I have the root i was after, but just wondering if it's worth waiting for a fix from Samsung before i mess about a little more ..
PC Odin seems easy enough - issue is I can only seems to locate a Carphone Warehouse GB UK ROM - Guess this is not full of carrier bloatware?
Damn I'm edgy !

It's easy enough to do but understandably a little nerve racking at first.
You'll find all you need in Dr. Ketan's Stock ROM thread.. As well as full step by step instructions on how to proceed using ODIN.

Im just stating here that I will generally know what you are talking about, im not a noob when it comes to android modding/roms/rooting, however i have always been worried with my note because ive seen lots of threads on devices being bricked.
basically i want to root my note, get CWM recovery onto it, and then flash whatever ROM/s i choose, without getting my phone bricked in the process.
i want someone to advise me on the best way to go about this whole thing, thankyou!
my device:
Samsung galaxy note (not sure if international or not, i bought from kogan.com.au, i live in australia, and have a telstra sim in it, however i think kogan ships the intl model)
android version: 4.0.3 ICS (stock)
baseband: N7000XXLPT
KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
BUILD NUMBER: IML74K.XXLPY
carrier: telstra (prepaid, and phone is unlocked)
the main confusion i have here is finding the correct threads for my kernel version, however i couldnt find what i wanted, and was unsure of which was safest, so thanks all for helping me out!

Hello Good Dr. I am about to try rooting via method 1.Rooting with stock recovery. After this am i correct in saying I should flash notecore kernel ? I would be using Mobile Odin to do this as I dont have Windows PC.
What would be safest method to get to ParanoidAndroid JB or CM10 JB from there ? After the Kernel is flashed. Would I have to downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom first then flash ParanoidAndroid ? So your method 1 > flash kernel > downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom > ParanoidAndroid ?
Kind Thanks.
If you want to downgrade to prerooted rom then no need to get root, except you have no option to use pc. In this condition just root n use mobile odin to flash prerooted rom. After successful flashing wipe cache n data and flash cusyom ROM.

So please just to clarify Dr.ketan. If I follow your method 1 to root my ICS Note and then I flash safe notecore kernel via Mobile Odin then I could flash ANY custom rom ? No need to flash a pre-rooted GB rom ? If this is correct would I need to wipe cache and data before flashing custom rom ? Please could you clarify which cache I should wipe ?
Thank you very much.
[Resolved via DM. Thanks Dr.Katan]
After flashing note core.you can.flash custom rom if that is ics based.
Otherwise i recommend to flash preroored gb rom first and wipe all (cache,data and delvic cache)

Can I flash pre-rooted gb rom with mobile odin ? do I need a tar file or will it work with zip ? or should I use recovery mode and a zip ?
Thank you.

Mobile odin can't flash zip.recovery.files. You can flash tar file, and prerooted gb rom is in tar. You can use mobile odin for that

This isnt right is it. Surely the other sections should be filled in not just System ? This is a real problem as I dont have Windows and can get my head around Heimdall. Im stumped. Is there a file I can use via Restore to install the rom ?

Hello dear friends,
I'm just a newbie here, so please be patient ...
1) I'm planning to root+CWM my n7000 and also (and finally) want to flash CM9.1 (stable) on it. Right now I'm on GB 2.3.6 (not directly rootable) it's ZSLA2... for what I understand from Dr. Ketan's rooting guide is that I have to first downgrade the device flashing a pre-rooted+CWM'ed GB ROM from Chainfire..... ok, no problem.... but, my main question is: once I already have this pre-rooted gingerbread rom, can I (must I) do a hard reset/wipe prior to flash a custom rom?... and, can I FINALLY and DIRECTLY flash the CM9.1 + Gapps files from that chainfire's gingerbread rom version/kernel?... or do I have to upgrade again to a new GB ROM and then flash the CM?.... or even further: do I have to upgrade to a newer GB ROM then to an ICS ROM and only then I would can flash the CM file??....
2) The obligated dumb question: Once I finally flash CM9.1 ROM, it's a must (or a recommended practice) to flash a safe kernel like Franco, Speedmod, Notecore (for safety and/or performance)??
Thank you for your time! cheers

1. always advisable to do all three wipes ( data , cache, dalvik) in CWM if you are on GB and planning to flash another rom from there.
--- yes, you can directly go from pre-rooted Gb to CM 9.1 with g apps
--- when you are on CM and want to go to a custom ics then best to follow the method specified in opening post of the rom thread by developer. all CM kernels are safe to wipe and flash from generally...
2 . Franco , notecore, speedmod are all Touchwiz kernels. a CM rom will not boot with it, its not compatible.there are other CM kernels available that you can use with it, refer kernel repository by Chasmodo

TW and Cm roms have varied/different and many simillar features
you must read through the rom threads for identifying them and choose your rom accordingly
I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it by searching.
I'm running 4.0.4 rooted, and would like to unroot it since I have to take my Note to be fixed on warranty. I rooted with temporary CWM and because it's considered to be dangerous now, can I run the Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip from Dr. Ketan's root/unroot thread from stock recovery ?
Just wanted to make sure before I do anything stupid. And yes, I know I could flash to stock GB, wipe and flash to stock ICS but if I could unroot straight from recovery it would be a lot easier. Thanks in advance.
Yes you can, but remember if you have flashed custim kernel then first replace with stock. As well if you have update supersu from market, then first uninstall that from setting -appl -all

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note NT-7000 which I won in a UK competition ..
Orignally it came with Gingerbread and had excellent life - then I did the official OTA update to ICS 4.0.3 and then I found it much slower and battery life sucked
So I decided to try rooting it to allow me to reset the battery calibration file.
I followed a very good video guide BUT I didn't add the Kernal, simply because I have no idea what the Kernal does.
I am confused as to what a Kernal is and what's the pro's and cons of different Kernals - perhaps that would make for a good video?
As far as I am ware my Kernel is whatever came with the phone. What is the safest / best Kernel to put on a Galaxy Note NT-7000?
I keep hearing for trying out new ROMs that something called the Abyss Kernel is safest? Could someone explain why this is the case and what's the latest version for my phone.
I used to have a ZTE Blade and used to flash ROMs on that all the time using ROM Manager but I don't ever remember anything about a Kernel.
When I tried ROM Manager on this phone it doesn't have any option for Samsung Galaxy Note, so I didn't go ahead and install the ClockWork Recovery.

All the ICS galaxy note has eMMC bug which can brick your phone due to wipe/factory reset.so,kernels basically save you from that.and plus gives you better performance and stability.and you can do many stuffs by rooting+wd a good kernel.
if you want a kernel for your stock rooted ics 4.0.3.then go for speed kernel or notecore.both are good and double safe.
You are with a dangerous kernel right now
Flash speedmod or notecore kernel which are asfe and emmc bug free
OK I've done a bit more reading since I posted and researched, so starting to understand a bit more was a kernel does
So right now I have a standard GalaxyNote ROM 4.0.3 (although I removed two Apps Weather App and Yahoo! Finance)
So if I want to simply change the Kernel, all I have to do is push the volume up button, home key and power and then it will book into the standard CWM and from there choose update from ZIP? and that is all that is needed to update the Kernel?
I was thinking of updating using the latest version of SpeedMod on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673072
speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-CWM.zip
This version of ClockWorkMod doesn't have any backup option listed will an option to backup appear when I update the ZIP file?
I also now have Mobile Odin Pro could I use that in anyway to update the Kernel?
Do I need to change my Kernel from stock Kernel if I wish to load a totally new ROM using Mobile Odin Pro?
I was looking at perhaps trying Classic_ROM_V3 .zip which looked pretty good?

Mobile odin can be used to flash stock ROM not custom, you can flash custom kernel in same operation while flashing stock ROM with Mobile odin (by selecting custom kernel for kernel Tab)
Custom ROM will already have safe kernel, though you can change later.
Use mobile odin to flash your new custom kernal (a safe one free of emmc bug) you should then have clockwork recovery instead of stock and you can then flash new roms through said clockwork recovery. Or stay stock with the custom kernal.

Cool .. I used Mobile Odin and the speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar Kernel File .... all went well.
Now I am on Samsung's Stock 4.0.3 ROM
I've backed up this ROM in CWM to the SD Card
I ran some benchmarks before and after the Kernel upgrade - according to all the benchmarks it'snow running slower then before BUT the real world user experience seems faster.
If I were to do a Factory Reset would this Kernel now remain in place?
Also on the website I download the Kernal from (http://touristinparadise.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Samsung Galaxy Note)
It states This version is only for Samsung ICS ROMs. It will not work with CyanogenMod or AOKP ROMS!
Does that mean Original Samsung ICS ROMs or does it also include ROMs which might be based on Samsung ROMs?
Main thing I want to try now is moving to an ICS 4.0.4 ROM so I can use the new Movable Video Feature and perhaps squeeze some more everyday battery life out of my phone.
Yes that is only for samsung galaxy note....it wnt work 4 custom roms......

thanks a LOT...I have some stupid question though...
it says "These all are stock ROMs and this can be flashed using PC odin without exclamation mark or raising flash counter. Read installation note at end of list"
my phone gives the exclamation mark when it turns on...does that mean that I can not install these roms??
and also I don't know which country is my phone from...I mean I don't know which exact firmware I should download...all I know is that I have the LC1 kernel, the phone was brought from finland and I am currently using it here in bangladesh...
I am so sorry is just that I don't know where to start and I am panicking right now...
No, it doesn't mean you can't flash them. It just means that if you flash them, they won't raise the flash counter and won't cause the yellow triangle to appear. You can flash them safely. If you still have the yellow triangle after flashing them then use TriangleAway to remove that triangle and reset the flash counter.

really I can use any country's firmware??so what are actually the things I should look out for when downloading a rom??the kernel??I mean what are the precautions I should be aware of before downloading a rom??
how does the cyanogen mod9 works??the thing is I need to flash my note becouse it is stuck in the boot logo...then it turns off without booting properly...is there any risk I should take into account before flashing cyanogen mod9??
No, you won't need stock ROM if you are flashing a custom ROM. Just follow the instructions very carefully. Most important of all is to flash a safe kernel to wipe. NEVER wipe using stock ICS kernel as that will brick your phone (read about emmc bug).
Flashing CM9 works like any other ROM. You download the safe kernel and flash it using Odin PC then boot into recovery to wipe data and cache. Then copy the ROM zip file to your memory card or internal storage and flash it from recovery mode.

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------
Also you might want to know that you will lose all Touchwiz applications when you flash CM9 like S Memo and S Pen. You can flash it until you get your hands on the stock ROM later so you can use your phone now.

guys thanks a lot for the replies...
so here is the thing I can flash any rom i want into it right??
but I have to use a safe kernel...my question was can I use any a kernel that's different from the kernel that's on the phone?? (XXLC1)??
oki thanks a lot for the replies...I wil ltry the CMW mod9 way...I don't use s pen or s note anyway...I need the phone to work..
guys another question though...since my phone is stuck in the boot logo then it just turns black(the display of course)
won't this prevent me from flashing cm9 into it??I can still get into recovery mode and download mode...plus mine have a rooted gingerbread stock rom 2.3.6 that is apparently "soft bricked" or needs to be flashed...are there any other option such as cm9??I mean there are a lotta bugs in the CM9...maybe an older costum rom??should I get the safe kernel for cm9 before installing cm9??
thanks a again for all the help...
Nope. You don't need a working phone to flash ROMs and kernels. As long as recovery and download modes are working then you are fine.
Just boot into download mode and flash ANY safe kernel using Odin and then you can wipe data and flash any ROM you want from recovery.
For safe kernels, there are a couple of them. There's Notecore, speed mod and the one included with CM9 (might be speeemod, not sure). Check the forum you will find many of them.
I think you already have a safe kernel though. GB's stock kernel is safe as far as I know. But to be on the safe side, follow the instructions on CM9's site to the letter and you will have a working phone.

THANKS A LOT!!!
are there any other costum rom of gingerbread that works without bugs and is like 150 mb like cm9??I mean I am not albe to download 550 mb at a time right now...
TANKS A LOT FOR THE REPLIES YOU GUYS ARE SAVING MY A*S...I love this forum I'm new but I love the help I am getting thanks much apreciated!!
SPEEDMOD AMD NOTECARE ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CM9. if you have speedmod or notecore installed cm9 will NOT boot
you need a non touchwiz kernel
you can download the cm9 kernel from this link... Have the cm9 zip ready to flash on the sdcard and run it. It is safe to wipe without worry about hardbrick omce cm9 kernel is insyalled.

the "[GUIDE] Which Kernels are Safe/Unsafe to Wipe and Flash from" post says GB kernel is safe...I have GB kernel....but the thing is I want to install CriskeloRomNOTE. v7 and in the post it says
"CriskeloRom Note V7 No Wipe
LINK
CriskeloRomNOTE.v7-MD5-5F1906B96CA2380265104AC12D7EEF5C.zip
NOTE CriskeloRom V7
• Rom No Wipe (not erase your data)
• Kernel 4.1 AbyssNote
• Full support for BLN
• New and improved dialpad
• More wallpapers in the stock application
• Repaired, Select Wallpapers
• Jkay v13.5.1 + Spanish
• Improved response when an application
• More things that I remember and all of the previous version"
so basically it says kernel 4.1 abyssnote...does that mean that I have to install such kernel to flash this rom??
also what does "No wipe" means??that if I wipe data before flashing will it brick my phone??
I am sorry i these questions may seem stupid and very bugging I just don't want to take chances before flashing...thanks again for all the help though!!
Abyssnote is a GB based safe kernel. You cam flash that. Abyss is safe to wipe from and so is your stock gb kernel. Just do notwipe if you are on a 4.0 based kernel that is not a safe kernel. All kernels in the post i did above are safe. All gb kernels are safe to wipe in. It just says no wipe because it doesnt require one if going from certain other roms. You shoukd wipe if you choose that rom...
Flash it with pc odin with a wipe... So long as your not on ICS based kernel the wipe itsrlf should not brivk you..
