From GB custom rom to ICS stock rom... - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
Now I am on a custom GB rom with custom kernel. If I would like to move to ICS stock rom, do I need to flash with stock kernel? Sorry if my question looks stupid and repeats. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure not to wipe/factory reset if you are on any ICS stock kernel. Best way is to follow the guide by Dr. Ketan for installation of ICS. Follow this link:

Folow the yin-yang said link in above msg.
Find rooting guide on first post
and look to method 2.
That is idle for you from where are you.

All GB kernels are safe to flash from. In case you want to flash ICS Stock ROM, you would require a ICS Stock/Custom Kernel to go with it.

What are you on about here? The guy want to move to stock ICS; where I come from 'stock' means NO rooting and NO custom kernels.
All he needs to do is flash a stock ICS Rom of his choice using PC Odin and nothing else.

Oops, forgot to delete that line from my reply. The second line was meant for him, i.e., to follow Dr. Ketans Guide. Have deleted the line. Thanks & Sorry.

Hi,
[Don't know how to use multi-quote!]
Thanks for all of your replies. Why I am going to stock ICS rom is as a stepping stone to any custom ICS rom in the future. This seems to be an all-recommended method for most custom ICS rom.
Dr.Ketan:
Thanks, I have been looking into your threads, including the one yin-yang recommended. "Method 2" means "1.b Final Installation" right? And flashing stock rom will flash stock kernel altogether?
Yes I have been thinking this should be the way to go, just not sure if flashing stock rom will leave the kernel on the custom one and causes any problem.
Yin-yang/chasmodo:
Thanks for your information!

[Q] Need for clarifications about installing custom ROM

Hi,
Just got my beautiful Note, installed Root and CWM using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
One thing is not totally clear in my head and I would you to clarify it because I don't want to make a mistake.
According to the rooting topic, I have a KKA kernel on my Note.
If I want to install a custom ROM, should I install a KKA ROM or can I install any custom ROM I want? For example XXLA6 or LA1 or anything else in ROM titles, so I'm not sure I can take any of these ROMs.
If anybody could guide me, it would be great.
Thanks for your help.

you can install whatever rom you want, because most (if not all) custom roms bring their "own" kernel with them (whatever kernel the dev choose for his build)!

[Q] What do I flash first, kernel or rom?

The question is really in the title, what do I flash first when upgrading from darky froyo to ICS, the kernel or the rom?
Thanks!

Follow instructions for the particular ROM you want to flash
They usually don't mention the kernel, only the rom :/

The kernel is pretty much always included in the.zip, if you want to change from the ROM kernel to another, then usually just a case of using a cleaning script, or manually clearing cache/dalvik and a couple of others (init.d & Ns tools usually) and flash away
upgrade 2.2 to ics
You have to burn GB stock-rom 2.3 with odin first !!!
after you finish you need gb kernel like semaphore 1.8 also burn with odin (give the stock root).
and finnely flash the ics rom you wont (with the dev Specific rom Guidelines)

Afaik you don't need gb bootloader to flash to ics, (see slim website) however it is a good idea to in case you want to revert to gb, but in that case it is easier just to flash the boot loader....see nitr8s ezboot thread
Hi, I know it's been a really long time of the thread but what I know ALWAYS FLASH THE ROM FIRST AND THEN THE KERNEL

Best JB rom + how do you get there from stock ICS?

Hi,
I'm currently on stock ICS (4.0.4).
My phone has recently started occasionally/randomly restarting itself.
I've read that doing a factory reset or data wipe will result in a brick so was thinking of switching to a custom rom.
What's the best Jelly Bean rom? or isn't there a good stable one?
If not then what's the best stable/usable ICS rom and how do I get there from stock?
I know I need to flash GB via pc odin, but what after that?
There are warnings that say "FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK!"
I just wanna be as clear as possible. Would hate to have a brick.
Thanks.

JB roms are still in development and not so stable for daily use yet. For flashing custom ICS you do not have to flash GB rom, just flash safe custom ICS kernel and flash custom rom through cwm recovery.
You can also wipe your current rom after flashing safe custom kernel. No need to flash custom rom just because you cannot wipe on stock kernel
For my personal of view, liquid smooth jb v2.0 beta is the best at the moment.
If you on rooted ics. You can flash jb rom thru safe kernel such as cm9 kernel, gb kernel or notecore kernel.
But please read carefully and understand what noted at op and follow the installation method.
Good luck.

Thanks

Never Never Wipe on ICS as stated in op.
Now everybody knows JB is still under development and in preview. So I think you should have to wait for a stable version to enjoy the juice
For ICS you can try Cleanote v5,Kingdroid or RR for better performance and battery life
Here are the links :-
Cleanote v5 ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088

Here is the best thread for rooting and flashing custom kernel on Note- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Once you are rooted and on safe custom kernel you can follow the instructions on your chosen custom rom OP.
In terms of safer installation method. It have too many of opinions around note forum. Some will say flash any rom or nandroid by using abssy 4.2 kernel, some will say not neccesary to use abssy 4.2 kernel with the secure and safe kernel exists such as notecore and speedmod kernel.
Some will advice you must go back gb before flash cm base rom and some will tell you totally bull**** and not neccesary to go back gb before flash cm base rom with secure tw kernel around.
Confuse? For me, all of them have the right opinion and nothing wrong with them. Thats your own smartphone which cost about usd 500. If you scare of something, just follow the long installation method. If you feel lazy to take do such of long intallation step, you can always use the secure kernel to swap in between gb, tw and cm base rom.
But anyway, is your own asset, your own choice. You are the one who will take full responsibility for doing any modification, rooting and flashing. Not anyone else here.
You can always refer dr.ketan advice.

Thanks everyone.
I will follow all your advice when I'm ready flash the rom. Most likely tomorrow.
I would click the thanks button for you all but I am "limited to 8 thanks per day"
Thanks again.

[Q] How do I get off of Stunner ROM 1.6.26?

Looks like the Stunner ROM thread is dead here. I'm on stunner rom 1.6.26 (kernel version3.0.32-CM-g12ef675) and I want to get on another rom. What all do I have to do in order to get off of Stunner rom safely? What roms would you recommend that I move too and why?

You are on safe kernel so can flash custom roms directly using cwm. But to avoid any issue best is to flash pre-rooted GB rom using odin and then flash any custom rom you like.
My personal fav are Kingdroid, Criskelo and there is no why, I like them does not means others will like them too, it's just matter of personal choice as all roms are almost equally good .

Thanks for the reply jeetu1981. Is there a certain Pre Rooted GB ROM that I should use to flash? Or do I download a GB rom and THEN root it? Do I use PC odin or Mobile odin? Seems that since I'm on a safe kernel can I just install a rom using a zip, wiping everything and still be safe? Would that be easier or do you recommend I just flash the GB rom first?

Look at my sig. for pre rooted GB, flash it via odin. For better performance GB is recommended but you can flash any custom rom directly as well (being on safe kernel), try it and if you see any lags or issues in performance then do a fresh flash
And yes, wipe is safe on CM and safe custom TW ics kernels. And I would have directly flashed another rom in this situation

there are two ways..
First
Flash a gb rom or prerooted gb rom via pcodin or mobile odin
Or
As you are on stunner which uses a safe kernel just go to recovery,do wipes,flash rom and reboot.as simple as that...

Both if possible because it's better to know how to do it.
If you want flash custom GB download the custom rom that you wanted to have like CM7 or if you want Samsung stock rom go to samfirmware.com

Yes, Since you are using i9001, only use an i9001 ROM with AriesVe.ops in odin 4.43, your helpline is your WIKI , everything you need is written here
