Wht i understand is you want to flash a custom ICS rom on your note.
First of all..
Get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Stick with the instructions.
After doing this you will have root+cwm installed on your lovely note.
Now download Abyss 4.2 from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424
Now download custom ics rom from android development section and put it in your phone sd card or external card.
Reboot into recovery.
Flash abyss 4.2
Go to advanced and reboot recovery.
Now you have abyss redpill recovery or touch cwm.
Do all 3 wipes. Cache, Dalvik and data.
Flash rom
Reboot system

Criskelo ICS v9 trouble
Hi,
I installed criskelo v9 on my phone just now..and titanium backup doesnt work..it says i do not have root permissions
now all my apps are on it and the phone is pretty pointless without it..
I tried installing abyssnote and franco kernel just to see if it works but the update gets stuck at "installing packages" and then reboots to system to the earlier settings..
the cwm i have right now is also not the touch version and my kernel is cf-root so i do not know if i should be reflashing criskelo directly on this to check for any difference..
PLease tell me what i need to do..I am lost and could not find anything after an hour of googling

Then check root permissions with root explorer. Don't try to flash kernels and wipes without the instructions as this will brick your device. Just stay calm and post here. I ll try to help ya as i could.

I followed the instructions to the T.. Root permissions didnt happen..Here's what i did..
1. Downloaded CWM and busybox and placed them where he said
2. Booted into recovery and installed CWM
After this the UI didnt change to the touch UI as he indicated but was still the button UI
3. ANyway went ahead and installed busybox from the zip
Here the progress was stuck at "unmounting system" till the phone reboot itself to the system..And i still dont have root permissions as per titanium..
Where did i go wrong?

Hi, what i really want is root permission so i can use criskelo as my ROM..I was using gb (checkrom v6 with abyss) till now and thought of upgrading to ICS...if i get root permissions i can restore my apps using titanium and my problem wil be solved..titanium is currently saying i dont have root permissions and not restoring my apps...
Of course i will want to change kernels too to mix and match my requirements with battery life later on...

If your desire is to just get rooted, then download the Abysskernel touch zip file* : http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.zip
Saved it in your external SD card and install it using Recovery Mode
After that, your phone should restart and check after if you have SU(Superuser) and CWM installed. If you do have it.. Rest assured your phone is already rooted.

Thats where the problem is..i have tried installing that file multiple times..it gets stuck at "installing update" and reboots into the system..
Within the phone i already have CWM (as the app) in my phone but it says it cannot work coz i need cf-root v5 or newer for it to work...can i use the LRG file as given in this forum to change the kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
file name : CF-Root-SGN_XX_DBT_LRG-v5.6-CWM5 (i had chosen the LRG modem while installing criskelo v9)
Are there different kernels for ICS and GB and maybe im trying the wrong file?
Also right now all i want is the root..but i also wanna be able to rollback to gb later and try other roms as per my convenience if i dont like criskelo..so any guidance keeping that in mind for the future will b much appreciated
Thanks..

What is your current ROM now? stock DXLRG? if it is, yes you can flash that kernel on your link (using mobile odin pro). Try to check back after thru CWM if it still gives you the same message or not.
Yes, there are different kernels solely for ICS only and also solely for GB alone. Don't make a mistake in mixing a GB kernel to your ICS Rom or else your phone gets fried.

I am right now on Criskelo ICS v9..
The exact problem on my phone (id mentioned earlier too) is that its like its semi-rooted..things like cpuspy etc work..but titanium backup and moble odin dont..my main motive is to have titanium working so i can use the phone normally..
Now i see that criskelo has just launched v10.1 of the same ROM which has solved the semiroot+wifi issue..download is in progress and It wud be great to know how i can move on to that now..
Abyssnote kernel is not installing (stuck at "installing update" ) and as per my knowledge the phone isnt rooted (coz titanium backup and mobile odin dont work)..
Can i rollback to prerooted gb (i have this file: Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000DDLB2 - nonwipe gb ROM) via PC odin to initiate the whole process again under present circumstances?
Whole process here meaning *prerooted gb+abyssnote kernel+criskelo v10.1 install*..
PS - i did all wipes while installing the present ROM (if it matters)..

Yes, you have what we call it here as a semi rooted phone. Not getting all the permissions to access system files inside. It's a good thing though that Criskelo has a new version to his ROM and that should be appropriate in installing it.
Can you rollback to pre rooted GB? Yes you can. Just pick the appropriate GB ROM. And oh by the way bud, stay clear on fully wiping your phone... Remember your walking in a thin line here when your flashing Custom ICS ROMs...
Just a heads up, that's all.
Cheers!

thanks a lot for the quick response
just a final query..i dont have abyssnote on my phone now..i have whatever criskelo v9 gave me by default (i chose cf-root during install) and im semi-rooted..
Under these conditions can i go ahead with installing the prerooted gb ROM that i mentioned?
and about the heads-up (sorry im still new to flashing ) do u mean i shudnt be wiping everything when i do the flash to the prerooted gb now? (the ROM i have is a no-wipe ROM as i said earlier)

first, let's tackle your second question. If your on Criskelo ICS now, please under NO circumstances, YOU DO NOT FULLY WIPE your phone before going back to the pre rooted GB. There's a bug circulating around the forum and it's called the SUPER BRICK BUG. It'll fry your emMC chip (on your phone) thereby making it as a dead paper bag. There are countless of folks here already that have succumbed to the bug. Most have returned their dead phone back to Samsung Repair for an exchange on the motherboard. That is how deadly this bug can sting your phone.
So stay away from it. (It's better late than never, mind you)
on your first question,
Use PC Odin to downgrade to a pre rooted GB one. That's it.
Cheers!

Did you get rooted installing busybox su? I think you have partial root.
Install busybox from playstore and open it. Press install button. It should be fine.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App

to check if you are fully rooted copy and paste in root / system...install busybox that helped me on ics roms then once your fully rooted flash a safe kernel ..dafuq , speedmod etc then flash new rom . dont do any wiping til on a safe kernel and read instructions fully

@All
Thanks for the your responses
This is what i did after getting some doubts cleared over here:
I rolled back to a prerooted ODEX gb ROM..and installed rocketrom for now..gonna use it for a while and check how people are finding criskelo v10.1..Once im satisfied with that gonna go ahead with flashing it..
Thanks again :good:

[Q] I'm about to root and flash rom - here is my checklist - thoughts?

Hi Guys,
After reading a lot, I think I'm set with rooting my note (N7000) - **I was used to AT&T Note, but now I have N7000.
I was so scared hard bricking this N7000 so I watched some videos, read some articles/forums etc.
I watched the video in rootgalaxynote.com and the videos I watched are the how to avoid EMMC brick and how to root Galaxy Note without PC - and I integrated them.
I currently have a fresh 4.0.3 (pure stock)
So here goes:
1) Following this guide http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-ics-on-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-no-computer-required/ he is saying to download 3 files. CMW.zip + CMW-SU version something + Franco Kernel. **I'm skipping Franco - I'll just use Abyss because I'll flash a totally different ROM anyway
2) Follow the instructions in the guide - flash CWM + CWM-Su version -- reboot then install EFS pro then backup my /efs
3) After backing up my /efs - I will reboot to stock recovery, flash CWM again + CWM-Su-version then instead of using Franco kernel, I will flash Abyss.
4) After flashing Abyss, reboot to recovery (don't reboot completely - since it is gb kernel) <- this to avoid EMMC brick
5) Flash the ICS ROM that I want
Did I miss anything?
Thanks guys!

you probably wont be able to boot on abyss, might be best to use notecore or speedmod k3 for ICS. If your phone has GB preinstalled use speedmod k2.

After step 4 its a good idea to wipe, before you do the rom installation. Sometimes you can install a rom without wipe, but sometimes it will end up with a rom not as stable as if you did. Just make sure you have installed Abyss 4.2 and REBOOTED recovery before you wipe, else you might get a nasty brick.
Also, a nandroid backup and titanium backup of user apps could be a good thing to do first =)

Damn, I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo pissed. I left this N7000 at home then my cousin went home ... then ...
My cousin (who thinks he's an Android hero) followed the flashing step suggested by zedomax (no pc required) and he said the temp touch cwm.zip flashed fine but he can't flash the other cwm zip file with supersu .. he said it says:
can’t access /emmc/
The phone still reboots fine normally, like nothing happened.
But I'm wondering if my /emmc been tampered already? Is it still safe for me to root using Desktop Odin?
What version of Desktop Odin should I use?
Lastly if worse comes to worst and this phone got bricked - I heard you can send your phone to have the JTAG thing repaired (will that fix it?)
Sorry for the questions, but it scared the hell out of me when he told me about the /emmc thing.
Thanks

well, if you read the first reply you would know about cwm.zip being risky. The link there shows a way to get root. But first.
I think you dont need to worry, cause with superbrick its likely your phone wouldnt have booted. You can check by flashing throught pc odin a stockrom/or prerooted rom as link suggests with same csc, if it gets stuck at firmwaresys its superbricked (like longer then 60 minutes and progresbar shows no progres)
just use the links in that thread, dr ketan is very thorough with info, so in first post you will find al info you need.
alternatively, with big risk, place cwm. zip on internal sd, place cwm flashable of speedmod k3 there to, flash cwm.zip, flash k3, reboot and you are root. Then install emmc brickcheck app from market and let it check your phone You will have brickbug firware, all notes do, but you probably dont have corruption on emmc chip.

Yup .. that is why I was so pissed with my cousin. I think he flashed an N7000 (his friend's) before using the temp CWM.zip method and it did work. He actually wanted to surprise me that before I got home it was already rooted.
I was actually reading the thread that the 1st reply posted and I was already decided to do it when I got home .. then I found out about his doings
Also, maybe you might know what version of Desktop Odin I should use, I don't see it on Dr. Ketan's post.
EDIT: Correction - It was Can't mount /emmc
Not - Can't access /emmc
Thanks

version 1.85 I think. He has another thread in stickyvsection development that might be of help there. Walkthrough as such

[SOLVED]Stock ICS vs Custom ROM

I have a gingerbread G.Note (the international version) since 6 month and I need to install ICS to install some applications. but I read that Stock ICS either 4.0.3 or the 4.0.4 are not safe as they may cause damage when simply resetting to factory settings or when doing other things.
I read about many custom ROMs but can't decide which is better because ROM fans always write positive review but also I found many people with negative feedback on the same ROMs.
I am not a game freak. so speed is not very important to me. I just need stable and bug free software because I am a busy person and I have no time for installing new ROMs every week plus I read that flashing ROM after another is a great way to damage your phone.
Any Suggestions ??

Download a stock Rom ICS and root it with PhilZ Kernel. Nothing else.
After that your are not in danger or the brick bug anymore and you have all ICS features you need.

Thank you for replying

just to be sure that I understood.
First I will root my stock GB and Install stock ICS like it's said here:

You dont need root GB to flash stock ICS. Just follow the steps in first link how to flash ICS via PC odin.
Download all necessary drivers, pc odin etc... install these, reboot pc.
After that, download ICS rom which you want, charge your battery.
Open PC Odin, reboot phone into download mode, connect usb cable to phone, check in odin (check box must turn yellow), place rom files into odin, then flash. I wrote these steps but it is all described in detail, in the first link, so follow it
When it boots into ICS, when all is finish, download philZ kernel from second link (depends which kernel, considering which version of rom you have now), place your kernel.zip in internal sd card
Reboot phone into recovery mode, follow steps written in post #3 from Philz kernel thread.
Which means, flash philz kernel from stock recovery, just reboot your phone and thats it.
Now you are rooted, and safe from brickbug :good:
But be aware that your apps will gone (not pictures and stuff from interal sd, but to be sure, backup your important files to pc), and your warraty if you have one will be void.
Good luck, if you have question, and you are not sure what you need to do, better ask here, before going into trouble, somebody will respond...

OK I'll try this way

Re: [Q] Stock ICS vs Custom ROM
I am on stock ics rom with stock kernel. My device has the 0x9 brick bug thing. I tried everything to get my device brick because its still in warrenty. But fortunately or unfortunately didnt got it bricked. So i am still not sure what advice to give u. I think u should go for a philz kernel if u feel unsafe. But being deprived of ics despite ics being on this device for half a year now is not wise.
Make the most of ur device rather than being afraid. Brick bug is not ur fault its samsungs fault, so u can always take the device to them and can yell at them.
For me i want my device to get brick so i can take it back to samsung and if they didnt own it. I would take them to the court. People make money from that. I know a lawyer who always welcome such suits with a % share.

Re: [Q] Stock ICS vs Custom ROM
@quazibasit. If you want to brick your note, download Cwm.zip from rootgalaxynote.com or youtube, flash it in stock recovery from extSdCard and do /wipe data factory reset with it. It a temp recovery and will disappear on next boot so Samsung won't know what you did.
Let us know if it bricks on first wipe.

Everything is perfect
Everything went perfect.
I have rooted ICS 4.0.4 now with philz kernel.
Thank you all for your help.

I rooted my device downloaded rom manager flashed cwm, give my phone a complete wip and rebooted. It deleted all the data and my device was like a fresh decice. But didnt find anything that explains the brick bug. Some OPs said that its not necessary that it happens when one wipes the data. It can happen anytime even file deleting a large file. But fortunately i didnt experience such thing. So i am no more scared of this bug.
I even flashed slimbeans on my stock ics with stock kernel, but didnt find any bricking, yes it went into bootloop once, but on wiping data it was all ok.
Sorry folks wont advice any of u to do this, it was just experiment which ended smoothly.

Yes I know I am a NOOB at 46 but I still can't resist messin with **** that isn't broken. Loved the NOOB video.
The probem is I think I flashed a dodgey ROM app and got scared half way through and tried to reset the phone to factory.
This is my Galaxy Note GT n7000. I have done a factory reset 3 times and believe I am well on my way to bricking my phone if I do this again.
All is good so far except the CAMERA.
I have downloaded the necessary HOTFILE STOCK ROM for NZ from your site but am now scared ****less to flash it.
Should I just give it back to the manufacturer and say DUH I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED and let them fix it
I also have GINGER BREAD 2.3.6 ROM Should I just flash this and hope for a fix
I also have ICS 4.0.4 XXLRG Should I Flash this after 2.3.6
Just need a little help and direction, as this is all quite new to me. Yes I'm sure this has all been done before and as I yell at my kids for doin stupid **** you deserve the same latitude.
Cheers ****

flash gb first.. after flashing the gb do a factory reset and then check your camera if it's working or not.. if you got lucky and got it working then flash a ics otherwise take it to manufacturer for repair.. don't mess up when you don't know what you are doing
Ps: if everything goes well and you flashed a ics rom then please flash a modified stock kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

Thanks for your reply, but if you look at the other reply it says to flash ics and NOT to do a FACTORY reset and you say to do the factory reset what is the risk of doing the factory reset
Not to sure which version of PHILZ modified Kernel to use Can you help with this

If you choose GB, it's safe. But ICS kernels have a bug which can brick the phone if a factory wipe is made. What abhinav said was to do a wipe in GB. Which is safe. What I told you was you can directly install the ICS rom but refrain from wiping till you install a safe kernel.
Go to OAD forum of note and you will see Philz thread. Download any ICS kernel like DDLRB and place on external SD. Then boot in to recovery and choose "apply update from external storage". Choose the zip file you downloaded. Once done boot into recovery again. Yubwill have Cwm. Now you have a safe kernel. You can do a factory wipe.

Thank you for your help. I have fixed the camera with the GB update and went on to update ICS XXLRG, but this still isnt CwM.
Im not sure which Cwm to use There is an XXLSC-XJB which is close. Should I use this one or does it matter
. PhilZ files were unavailable for download as well is there another place to get this file and what is the easiest method to install

Choose as per your rom build number.

My wuild number after flashing ICS is IMM76D.XXLRG but nothing is the same the clsing osest on Philz is XXLSC XJB
Could I flash this using ODIN from my laptop?
Thanks
PS where is the thank you button for my responses I like to say thanks but cant seem to find where

You have an ICS rom. You can use any ICS kernel by Philz. Use xxlrt or ddlrb
Flashing via odin will increase the counter and yellow triangle at boot. Best is to flash via recovery. Place the zip version of the kernel on ext sd card and boot into recovery

Thanks again
I used modified ICS kernel PhilZ cwm6 XXLRG DBT 3.99 signed zip version but when I boot from SD it stops and says that it can't verify the signature and wont install
Do I need and unzip app? If I install this update will I have root access to run apps like Titanium Backup?
Or should I use the tar file in ODIN?
I do appreciate all your time and effort

What option did you select in recovery?
This is what you need to follow
1. Download the signed zip version of the kernel and place in external sd.
2. Boot into recovery and choose "apply update from external storage".
3. Choose the file you downloaded.
4. It will do the magic.
This will give you root access and yes apps like TB can be used. Also you will get CWM and it's a safe kernel too.

Dude he has done everything correct i know.. The v.3.99 of ics kernels are not built correctly when you flash them in stock ics recovery they always give a verification failed error.. But the older versions are ok to be flashed in stock ics recovery

I just flashed the ddlrb 3.99 and worked just fine. Where did you get this info?

Use the tar method only if u are confident enough
And yes you will be able to run applications like titanium backup
And for the flash counter just use triangle away
Search Google for it
All is well that ends well

4.3 is Jelly Bean (JB), not ICS (..."I scream sand witch"....) could it be that you 've flashed wrong Gapps version?

It is just name of the ROM, and the developer writes you clearly in the first blue field, in the first text line:
Android Base CM10.1.3. RC1 JellyBean
JellyBean is not ICS (ICS is 4.0.x) so you need Gapps for CM10.1x / Android 4.2.x
CyanogenMod 9 is based on ICS

HELP needed for RemICS Odin installation
Not sure whether to start a new thread or not so for the sake of making xda a little less cluttered i will first post my query here:
It refers to the RemICS ROM thread already mentioned
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300693
This looks like a great ROM and i would like to do a one time flash using Odin
Are there any install methods using Odin. I see there is a full download on the page but it appears to be for a I9003. Have searched all over and not seen anything as yet
FYI: I am currently running DarkysROM JVQv10.2 Extreme Edition, firmware 2.3.4
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVQ-CL281085
thx in advance :good:

This isn't meant to be flashed via Odin.
Download the rom + addons + gapps + CM9 (you don't need CM9 gapps). You can download the rom + addons from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075058
1.) Backup everything you need to- call logs, SMS, bookmarks, etc with Titanium or other methods of your choice
2.) Reboot into recovery. Perform the three wipe combo (data, cache, Dalvik)
3.) Flash CM9. You'll probably have to flash it twice- once for the kernel, another time for the rom. Let it boot.
4.) Once CM9 has booted, check that you still have reception.
5.) Reboot into recovery again and do the wipe combo. This time choose to flash the base rom. You'll need to flash it three times- once due to the incompatible partition (first flash overcomes this), another time for the kernel, a third time for the rom.
6.) Once the base rom's finished flashing, reboot. Check you still have your IMEI- you'll know if you still have reception.
7.) Reboot to recovery, flash addons (flash Addons then Addons_V1)
8.) Reboot
9.) Back to recovery (AGAIN), flash gapps.
Unfortunately a one-time flash with Odin isn't possible. But the endless flashes you have to do for RemICS V6 is well worth it

thx for reply
thx for your reply and apologies for getting back to you late.
If only i could do it the way you suggested but for some reason (me) i have messed the phone so that it now no longer is able to mount the external SDCard so putting the relevent zip files on the ext card is useless because in recovery mode using CWM these files fail to show.
I note that via CWM it shows the card as unmounted. If i try and do a mount it fails.
any ideas?
thx

What about your internal storage?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk HD

Here is where my noob-ness kicks in.
What internal storage is available by default on the Note1? Is it just the internal sdcard?
what puzzled me when I last flashed with odin (repeated it a number of times as I was trying to get the device to recognise ext sd card) to get the current Darky Extreme rom on (which is working fine no problem at all) is that there was still some relic directory structure left over. These were all empty folders visible when navigating within CWM. Didn't matter what type of formatting I did they wouldn't go. To summarise: much confusion and something got twisted.
So questions arising are:
-How to nuke the internal disk/card properly so there are no remnants prior to me doing another darky reinstall?
-Then, how to copy a zip file to internal card but still have it remain after the format and wipes that would precede a zip install?
-How to fix the device to mount the ext sdcard? FYI other sdcards can't be mounted either. I have tried 4 different ones. And here's the kicker-once booted I go to file manager and there I can see and access all the files/folders on the external card!!! So it's definitely a phone problem as opposed to a sdcard problem. Something got flagged along the line.
