[Q] KIES updated after ICS?

Hi.. If I install LPF ICS 4.0.3 and root it as suggested here, will I still get KIES updates when they are available?

As long as the firmware that you want to flash is Stock, you will be able to update, but you will lose Root.
The Rom in your link is stock but from Taiwan, so the CSC will have limited update options in the future. More details are given in the original thread of this Rom here.
Hope that helped!

Yes thanks.. well as its newer than the LPY German, I just thought maybe it'd be better to install this one instead. What do you suggest?

I suggest not to flash a LPY Rom, there is high risk of bricking your device. If you are not so familiar with this i advice you to look around for details about the procedures.
IMO, flash via PC-Odin a GB Rom, or a Custom GB rom (Chrack's is the Best) and then if you want a custom ICS pick one of the new, such as MidTeam 1.3, CM9, RocketRom etc.
Hope i could help!

I see.. u think even the new Taiwan one LPF would be risky? Cause I read there are many things which are not working in CM9. About MidTeam and Rocket I don't know.. will have to look at them.

LPF is better and safer than LPY.
Since you want the LPF just flash it, many people say that it works fine.
To be clear here, i haven't tried it. I prefer CM9 but it's just a matter of taste after all!

Public Service Announcement:
DO NOT FLASH OR WIPE USING ANY ICS REPACK OR STOCK KERNEL
Not even wiping in stock recovery is safe with affected kernels. Almost all ICS kernels for the GT-N7000 are affected.

Please stay on GB for now... There is a bug on EMMC that effects all leaked ICS roms so far. Read the Public Service Announcment:
Even official LPF rom is effected by this bug.
The ZSLPF official release - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1661590 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1#post26275391 are the first two reports.

[Q] need a safe ics

hello i want to ask if theres is a completly safe(without hardbrick ) ics rom out there ?? if yes how i can fully root it ??
i am using cm9 and i want to enjoy the s pen applications and want official ics with a way to root it ..
i appeciate any help

IMHO the only safe ICS is the stock, but the problem is rooting it. The CF root is not safe. The safest thing would be to wait for a kernel that is not risky.

Currently there are no 100% safe ICS roms for NOTE. There have been reports of both XXLPY official ICS and ZSLPF official ICS being effected by a bug in eMMC which gets damaged while users wipe large amount of data. Read the public announcement please http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943. This unfortunately includes CWM wipe data and Factory reset. Just stay on GB for now. I am using ICS my self but i am only staying here cuz i don't want to risk bricking my device going back on GB.

Well pretty much any GB kernel is safe as long as you haven't been effected by this bug. But there is no way to detect that. If you are completely sure that you haven't done any wiping of data or very heavy use of I/O, then you should be good to flash. But i don't want to take that chance because i have no warranty on my phone. That and if a patch comes along i can use it on a bootable phone but NOT on a bricked one. ICS is working pretty smooth btw. I am just not messing with large files and anything that includes wiping of data

Completely safe ICS Roms:
1. CM9
2. Asylum
3. ParanoidAndroid
4. MIUI

Unfortunately you can't port the s pen apps to cm9, but there are substitutes.
I hope Samsung is already working on it

CF-Root + ICS + Note + Full Wipe = Risk!!!!
If you need to Wipe Make sure you have abyss kernel 4.2 final....
Good Luck!!!

ICS XXLPY vs XXLQ2

Is there any difference between XXLPY & XXLQ2 ?
Is XXLQ2 better than XXLPY ?

don't know about technical details, but on my device LQ2 seems to have much better battery life than LPY, in fact on LPY battery consumption was so unstable i went back to GB for a while

They have the eMMc brick bug if you wipe data or factory reset...unless you use a custom kernel like franco or speedmod.

I have found myself getting more wakelocks with LQ2 , multipdp is taking up way more juice.
Changed the radio to a newer one and made no difference.
Only thing I have noticed is that I don't get pixel salad / garbled screen in LQ2 which I did in LPY now and then. Seems more stable to me.

Generally yes, after initial disappointment with LPY, i find the LQ2 with Franco kernel quite satisfactory (no revelations though), so I'm not going back to GB,
or you may want to wait for Samsung to release brick-free update - reportedly they're working on it (ETA unknown),
or wait for stable release of CM9, which should provide the best Android-experience ever

Thanks a lot !

Why you were disapointed by LPY? Im running it and it works just fine.
Does XXLQ2 has better battery life than LPY?

LPY worked ok, only battery consumption was much higher than on GB, and I could not find any way to make it behave. LQ2 -on my device - seems to have it solved (battery current usage in standby mode - with data off - below 10mA)

My Note is my daily driver and with LPY runs very good but battety life very poor after flash LQ2 my device runs more smooth and also battery life is better

You mean you want to flash LRG kernel so that you can upgrade to 4.0.4? Why dont you download stock XXLRQ (German) firmware from dr.ketan's thread and simply flash using odin. Its the latest 4.0.4 rom.

I dont want to root my phone or put any custom kernel in it.
If there is the way to put stock kernel, that will be my first option, if thats not posible il put custom one.

To change build number you will need to flash updated rom.
This is what it means in "Settings / About Phone"
Baseband version - This is your Modem
Kernel Version - Your Kernel
Build number - your ROM
You need to flash an updated ROM to change to 4.0.4. Latest is LRQ

Find the XXLRQ3 (Germany) in there and flash it. It will restore back the LRQ3 on to your phone, together with the stock kernel that comes along with it.

[Q] Rooting and CWM my 2nd n7000

Hi guys
I recently brought a 2nd hand n7000
This rom is totally stock, to be precise, it is a Hong Kong version 4.0.4
Since I want to improve the battery life and have a more defined rom.
I would like to root and install CWM.
Up to now, I understand that there's the infamous brick kernels out there. And I probably need to stay away from ICS.
But because of my n7000 is 2nd hand, i don't know much history about it.
i can not know for sure, that this n7000 is shipped with GB or ICS at the first place?
Or the last guy actually upgrade it from a GB.
My research in this forum tells me it's always better to start with the JB aka 4.1.2 stock.
My question is can i simply flash a HK 4.1.2 as a base without doing all sort of EMMC checking?
Then, flash kernel comes with root & CWM? And finally my rom of choice?
I would like someone could guide me and show me the SAFE way,
Thx in advance!!

Ya.. You can upgrade to JB.. Use of Odin or Kies. Then use Philz kernel to root and get cwm. Now you may proceed with custom roms.

Thx for answering.
I have successfully upgraded my n7000 to JB
it's ZSLR1 (Hong Kong latest stock JB)
Just one more question about rooting.
Can you help me check if this is the correct kernel?

That kernel is fine if you plan to flash another 4.1.2 or touchwiz based ROM. If you plan on upgrading to kit kat or 4.3jb custom ROMs, you will need raw kernel instead.
