[Q] Wiping Galaxy note and upgrading to 4.0.4 - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm giving my Galaxy Note to a friend and I'm wondering what the best way is to wipe my note and install the latest 4.0.4 Stock ICS ROM.
I'm running 4.0.3 XXLPY and I'm not rooted.
Thanks for your help.

flash a safe kernel in ODIN, boot into recovery and do a factory reset along with all caches (including dalvik)
reboot back into download mode and flash the 4.0.4 firmware. easy peasy

I'm not rooted, would flashing just a kernel work via Odin?

you dont need root, just a sake kernel with cwm built in, such as speedmod , notecore and many more

The best way I feel is downgrade to gb rom do wipe and then upgrade to 4.0.4

Flash Abyss 4.2... Reboot Recovery Full wipe and flash ROM... Reboot System... Simple as that..

This is what I was thinking... is it safe to downgrade to GB via Odin from an ICS ROM? If so I think that would be easier.

giving your note away..... wow i say
So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.

Guys is it safe to downgrade from 4.0.3 ICS to GB via Odin, wipe, then update to 4.0.4?
Thanks

This works for me..
Because of the brick bug. I was afraid to do any flashes in stock ICS (4.0.3). Anyhow I need to upgrade my Galaxy Note to ICS 4.0.4. And after reading so many threads, Finally I found it is safe to Flash Gingerbread first and do a factory reset and then flash ICS 4.0.4.
ROMs I used to flash,
GB ROM (2.3.6)
N7000DDLB2---------2.3.6-------2012 February-------N7000ODDLA1---------------India---------------------------------Download (Non wipe)
ICS ROM (4.0.4) (Non-wipe)
N7000DXLR6---4.0.4/12.07.30-N7000OLBLR2---Download--Sri Lanka
Read dr.ketan's thread for ROMs and more information.

Find post #2 or 3 on first line of my sign
Download any ROM(GB), preferably your region and flash using PC Odin
You may find force closes or stuck at boot, but nothing to worry. reboot in recovery and wipe cache and data.
Flash a GB rom from ur region and wipe data / dalvik and cache from recovery
thanks for the replies guys, is there any i should avoid causing the brick that affected so many people, or have all the at risk files been removed from xda forum ?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Avoid wipe / reset once you are on stock ICS kernel.
but the other guys said to wipe after i install the stick rom?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
He said you to wipe on gb rom, I advised you not to wipe on stock ics rom.
Got it?
Read post #2 what I did say
I have said same to wipe, but on gb rom only.

That was for stock Gingerbread rom, wipe on GB is safe but it is not safe on ICS. As long as you are on GB roms you can wipe without any issue. So best for you is to download stock Gingerbread firmware for your country from here and then flash it using pc odin, you will find instructions for using odin in same thread.
After flashing GB rom you may face some boot loop or other issue, so in that case just boot in stock recovery (vol up+home+power) and perform full wipe.

Yup, his phone never root before. If the phone rooted we need to unroot before flash stock ICS rom?
No but if you are rooted on gb and then upgrade using pc odin,then you will get triangle sign.i use mobile odin to avoid it.
And as you ain rooted you can simply flash it.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Try to full wipe first on gb bfore u upgrade.
Always better to do clean install when u jump version, to avoid problems.
Do wipe in gb first. Dont do any wipe in ics stock kernel.
Sent from my GT-N7000 at the corner of this rounded earth.
just root it from dr ketan's thread .. download mobile odin and flash the ics stock rom

Wrong. If you flash stock rom, no yellow triangle.
To the OP: try connecting via kies and do it that way first. If not, then do the pc odin method.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
As you have an unrooted device why dont you try for an OTA update, you can sit back and relax while it does its work on its own, or samsung kies

Ihave included custome kernel too.which will giv u triangle.

Are you talking about OTA? If yes, then I think u should be on stock kernel..if I am not wrong, it is the same with Kies as well (not 100% sure about this) ..

first download and official firmware of both gingerbread and ics of your region.
using pc odin flash GB rom over the custom rom your using currently.
then do a full wipe/data/factory rset/cache/dalvik cache.
(this you have to do only on stock gingerbread rom)
then follow same process and flash ics rom.
and here dont wipe anything.
then use yr phone OTA checker and get the latest jellybean.

It's a note 2 leak for the note 1
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
rocket rom v3 is not a note 2 leak. its the leak of official pre JB update for N7000..
you can install slimbean on it by following the OP instruction in slimbean. if you face a error 7 in recovery, try changing the kernel and repeat the procedure
Which kernel should I change to and how to change it
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
First try installing using the one it has philz.
If that does not work, then load all the files required to flash to the storage along with hydracore. First flash hydracore the reboot recovery, do wipes and install the new rom
What do you mean by loadingall files?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
its because if you flash hydracore , then the phone wont boot normally as its not compatible and chances are there that you wont be able to put all files to storage after that. so do that before hand
