how to downgrade sgn from 4.0.4 to 2.3.6 - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,I hav just updraded my sgn from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 and m in India.First, I thought there would be a solution in 4.0.4 for battery drainage....but of no use.
Now I want to downgrade my sgn to 2.3.6(N7000DDLLC1) which is provided by sammobile.com and i hope that is official gb for indian sgn.
1. Please tell me hot to downgrade safely to 2.3.6 using clean installation.Actually, I have eMMc bug in sgn,so I can't wipe or format it.(MOST IMPORTANT)
So guys,please help me in doing this soon.thanks in advance......

Get the firmware from the original dev forum. Reboot phone in dowload mode. Open odin connect the phone and select the tree files from the firmware then pres GO. Its better to pick an allready rooted version of GB. Then you are all set.

Follow dr.Ketan's guide. They have clear instructions to downgrade.
Per the best I can remember
1. Download and install a safe karnal like Abyss.
2.Reboot to recovery.
3.Now wipe all
4.Then instal stock GB ROM

Get official from Sammobile and use odin.
As I see you don't know what root its.. You don't need so... Stick to the standart procedure and I'm afraid you gotta wipe/factory reset once you have finished flashing gb if you downloaded a Kies version
Why? Because all your apps will FC if you don't....

Thank you very much for your reply.i have a very small question to you that my phone wouldn't get harm or bricked due to this downgrade?or it will get harm?tell me please.

as long as you follow all the instructions (on the downgrade to GB), your phone will be fine.

@coolcris
There is no need to go to abyss, as you are downgrading to GB, so first downgrade then wipe is enough
@OP
Downgrade/Flashing won't harm your device
Find 1st link on my signature. and select GB ROM to download and simply flash it with PC Odin, everything is mentioned there. Read it completely and still you have any doubt post your quuery.

Hi,
Thanks alot, its work and now I'm on 2.3.6 stock ROM with rooted but when I use mobile odin pro to flash it that time, there isn't an option for me to select the 'Inject CWM Manager'...so now need to install again.
Any idea why don't have that option? Could it be the version of mobile odin?

You can do that using zergrush exploit.. You can follow the instructions given in the stock rom thread by Dr. Ketan.

What do you mean "using zergrush exploit"? To root? If yes then I know what you mean but I already rooted my device and flash the stock ROM 2.3.6 using mobile odin pro.
I just want to know why the my mobile odin pro (2.30)does not have the option called 'Inject CWM Manager'?
Thank you.

Hi guys,
Im on Stock ICS XXLQ2 can i flash stock GB XXLC1 using Odin PC after that i can do Full Wipe/Factory reset etc..

I got the idea i need to flash the Open europe version of stock GB via odin. But the one I found is Wipe version, will this trigger the eMMC bug? (my device is affected)

Afaik the full wipe part will be performed under the gb kernel as that is flashed before the from, so you'll be fine.

Cm kernels will not work with tw based roms, only with aokp/aosp, and vice versa. You'll have to read up on the kernel pages themselves on which rom types they support.
So flash to gb first, perform full wipe, root and install cwm, then you can install custom kernels and roms from there. Never install from ics kernel, only downgrade to gb to be safe.

Downgrading to gb means; directly flashing a gb rom right? Yes, i'm new to all this.

Most of the rom files split down into three files but If you place the original tar file into pda, odin sorts out the partitions correctly for you.
All stock gb kernels are safe from emmc superbrick bug, safe to perform wipes.

Unable to upgrade by Samsung Kies (custom kernel)

Hi, I want to update Stock ICS ROM (found from Sammobile available in my region). When I connected to Samsung Kies, it shows "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". Possibly due to custom kernel, I guess.
Currently I'm using Notecore v12.5 kernel on Stock ICS ROM (DXLR2 - my region). Do I need to flash back Stock kernel first (from XDA thread) following the same as my current ROM version?
Thanks for your help.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Not guaranty even after flashing stock kernel you may get it. But sure you can try. If your installed rim is not for your region still it wont allow to update, in that case update using Odin.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
You need to be full stock but also you need to match your csc with the rom to be able to use kies...
I encourage you to flash a gb stock via odin and once in gb change the csc as it requires a wipe and wiping in ICS stock kernel its not safe..
Don't know if you can change csc in a custom kernel... SO someone like dr. Ketan could guide you better in this... In order to avoid going back to gb to change the csc

Thanks for your reply, Dr. Ketan.
I've tried flashing back Stock kernel downloaded from your thread Anyhow, still unable to upgrade by Kies. Checked firmware version shows on Kies, looks like PDA & CSC version incompatible even I chose the same kernel version
Shall I clear cache & Dalvik? Which method much safer on stock ICS?
If all still not working, perhaps I need to re-flash using PC Odin.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
No wipe is safer on stock ics.
Reflash notecore, full wipe then flash ics using pc odin
Then again reflash notecore n finally reset counter. This shud b easiest n safest way.

Yes you can flash stock ICS 4.0.4 without wipe too.
If you flash nonwipe version(My stock ICS ROM thread listing contains only Nonwipe), still your data will be intact, but No root.
But, If anything goes wrong you have to wipe compulsory and you will lose data. another thing is clean flashing always give you better performance.
So in case of you want to keep data, use mobile odin. like this
1-Reflash Custom kernel to get root access(i doubt you may have partial root.If you having full root, you can escape this step)
2-Backup with Titanium
3-wipe cache and data(here only if you have safe kernel, otherwise skip)
4-Reflash ICS
5-Reflash custom kernel
6.Wipe cache and data, if you have note did on step3
7-Restore data wit Titanium

Dr. Ketan, you are right. I updated SuperSU from Google Play. I did not remove it while flashing Stock ICS ROM.
Afterwards, I tried to flash latest version DXLR5 (my region) downloaded from Sammobile. It managed to clear my SuperSU from menu & About Phone shows the same version.
Note : I found SMS can't send or receive. Even I manually key in phone number of Operator's SMSC.
However, it still doesn't support upgrade by Kies. I guess likewise you said due to CSC / kernel incompatible
If so, how can I change back to Stock firmwares to get back ori PDA/Kernel/Modem/CSC (since I reflashed Stock ICS ROM directly still helpless)?
Shall I flash back to Stock GB ROM & do full wipe first? Then, install back Stock ICS ROM? Lastly, can flash Notecore v13 kernel?
Thanks for your help
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Find out any GB ROM which was available for your country, then flash it using PC odin.
Then check your CSC by *#272*IMEI#, if it is not same as it shud be, then manually change it from list available there. This will hard reset your device, then you should be able to get update on Kies.
PS: Practically i dont feel any importance to have correct CSC. You can use your country Modem if you have any issue with SMS or mobile service related issue on foreign ROM.

Noted, Dr. Ketan. I have Stock GB 2.3.6 ROM (from Sammobile) & will flash via PC Odin & do full wipe from there.

Again, thank you

Oh, yes, Dr. Ketan. If I flash back Notecore v13, is it necessary to upgrade SuperSU from Google Play? Or just leave it as existing version pre-installed with Notecore kernel? Which is advisable?

Thanks for recommendation. Mostly I update by OTA. As I saw firmware update available in my region from Sammobile, hence I click OTA but not found. Then I try using Kies but it shows that msg.
So, I wonder why Kies can't upgrade since there is no issue for the past.
P/S : My friend told me he got update from OTA (not rooted his phone with Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM)

Hey guys, Recently my dad got a Galaxy Note (N7000) and he has been complaining about The Note 2 getting jelly bean and stuff.
I already rooted it for him with Superuser.
I want to install a custom rom for him but I read a lot of topics saying that theres a very high chance on bricking your device using CWM and stuff.

He's already rooted and on stock kernel, if he tries to flash a ROM using above CWM.zip or does factory reset on it, he will brick his device.
Best advice is to go Here, download PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-2.7-signed.zip (that's the one that is compatible with his ROM) and put it on external SD card. From there, boot into recovery mode, and flash Philz kernel from external storage. (It's the only one that can be flashed from stock recovery). Then phone will be fully rooted with safe stock kernel and safe CWM recovery. Only then should any attempt be made to flash ROMs from recovery.
Re: CWM.zip READ THIS
Easiest for me is to flash ICS of your choice using Odin. Then flash speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar using Odin. Select PDA in Odin to use this file. Google it up. Double check that the file you get is for ICS N7000 and that it is the Odin version.
The end result will be a rooted ICS that you can safely wipe. It also has Clockworkmod installed. This allows you to flash custom JB roms. You may get a yellow triangle upon reboot. Just buy Triangle Away on Google Play store. Reset the counter using the app.
But flashing philz from stock doesn't result in triangle, raised counter and need for triangle away. Surely easier

If he has to ask what is xxLRG, thr i wont even advice him to flash custom roms.
Sell the Note and get your father a Note2. Chances are, he will complain of so many things "not normal" once in custom rom, etc.

Hey guys, Recently my dad got a Galaxy Note (N7000) and he has been complaining about The Note 2 getting jelly bean and stuff.
I already rooted it for him with Superuser.
I want to install a custom rom for him but I read a lot of topics saying that theres a very high chance on bricking your device using CWM and stuff.
If anyone could post a step by step guide, That would be super-appreciated, Thank you in advance.

Go to Here to read and find your answers. If you're still stuck, then ask again. Even though there a few custom roms that can be flashed through Odin, I suggest you avoid using it unless you want to flash stock firmwares.

Why would u choose 4.0 with all the emmc brick bug threat presents? Search the forum or google with the keyword "how to upgrade my N7000 from Gingerbread to Jellybean/ICS" n see what turns out.

Hello. Firstly, I'm sorry to say that I don't have much experience as mine came directly from ICS. I can suggest a long roundabout way which is to update your android vers. from GB To JB through Odin procedure first, then just flash philz safe kernel. and then flash any roms u want. Or if you just want stock JB, then u can download stock JB firmware n flash it through odin.
Edit : Go Here And watch the video and read. The link for the kernel provided includes CWM. After Installing CWM, you can directly flash philz safe kernel, reboot to recovery, do a clean wipe and formats (Follow OP of the rom you want to install)
