First of all, HI guys and sorry for my irregular english.
I read since a long time XDA Forums to prepare me in flash and root methods for my galaxy note.
At now, i'm using this stock rom:
[ICS][4.0.3][Stock][OpenGermany]N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar.md5
+
CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.6-CWM5.tar + SuperSU
but i came from a stock rom: N7000UBKK2 with default kernel KK1 from Samsung and Movistar. and i have only a nandroid backup of my default Samsung/Movistar rom.
I have another gingerbread samsung stock rom, for emergency cases:
N7000UBKK8_N7000WEKK1_N7000PETKK1_HOME.tar.md5
But my point is:
I wish test some roms, before to decide which one use in dual boot system:
- Stock 4.0.4 (LRG or you suggest me LRK or another more recent ?)
- AOKP
- Criskelo
- Chrack
- Paranoid
- Cyanogen 9
And i have ready to use: Odin 1.87, Odin Mobile, SuperSU (if is necesary), Abyss 4.2 (CW/Red) for recovery, Abyss 4.2 CW for odin and CF-Root for LRG (if is necesary i can find one for LRK or another recent)
But i'm confused about how exactly do that. Yes i know there are many... MANY topics about that but, I only need a bit of help guys to understand the exactly process and avoid EMMC BUG...
If i understant correctly, i must follow this method, please correct me if i'm grong:
01 - Check if i'm root and settings are in depuration + unkown sources
02 - Because i'm using an ICS Kernel i need first downgrade to Abyss for continue
03 - Reboot in Recovery and flash Abyss4.2 CW/Red, after "reboot recovery" and make wipes
Which one should i use for this CW or Red Version?
...
But after this i have problems, because i have ever red: before flash a custom rom you need a same base. Then ok i think for use for example CM9, or Paranoid, or Criskelo, I need a 4.0.4 rom then i have a:
[ICS][4.0.4][Stock][OpenGermany]N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_N7000XXLRB_HOME.tar.md5
Ready to flash but...
If a this moment following the previous steps, i'm in recovery of Abyss CW/Red:
Should i reboot using this Abyss kernel in download mode to flash a stock LRG ?
...
Or in another reality, is not needed flash Abyss to flash a stock rom using Odin ?
I wish first test the Stock 4.0.4 before any other custom to make a base point of comparison
...
And after, using 4.0.4 LRG + CF-Root, is safe use install from zip file in recovery to flash any other rom like CM9 for example ? or i need use abyss recovery (before flash it using CR-Root recovery) to flash any other rom (ICS) ?
Again i hope you can help me with these questions, and really sorry is the text is so long but i prefeer to know rightly how to procced before brick my phone, because i still waiting for a JIG (you know, for emergency...)
Tnks to all.
First of All You need to know that there is no need for the same base to flash the ROM.
Second thing You have to use Abyss Redpill 4.2 Original Logo Recovery(It uses GB Kernel) If you are not going to downgrade to GB and want to flash on top of your current ROM
Third Whenever you want to flash CM9/AOKP/AOSP first downgrade to GB(Pre rooted Rom) OR GB then Root it and then flash the rom by going it to CWM recovery.
Fourth thing is Never flash Abyss using PC Odin.
Proper Way to Flash CM9/AOSP/AOKP for a clean install (You will lose data)
Download a prerooted GB Rom from here ===> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Reboot your phone is Download Mode. (Vol Down+Home+Power)
Open Pc Odin on your Pc/Laptop
Connect your phone to PC via USB Cable
A Small Box in Left Upper turns Yellow.It means your phone is recognized by Odin
Now Select GB File under PDA Tab (Do not change any settings)
Start Flash
YOU WILL HAVE A GB ROM ON YOUR PHONE WITH ROOT
Now Go to Recovery
Install Zip from SD Card
Flash Rom
Flash Gapps
Do All 3 Wipes (Cache/Dalvik/Data)
Reboot System.
you might wanna root first and backup efs before jumping to any rom that is different csc then you previous one.

Tnks to all, at now i'm testing some roms and kernels, looking for a "perfect" mate for my paranoid android (tableted rom), and in my tests i still looking for a decent kernel because (may this is my imagination but...) CF-Root LRG kernel in LRK Rom (Chrack's Rom) consume excessively batery but i will test in an ordinary day because may is not problem from rom, this should be a problem from kernel...
I read before: SpeedMod kernel was developed just for this situation: low batery comsumption + high perfomance...

I've been doing a little reading and it appears some people have problems flashing ICS roms to the i9000m.
Can I simply just flash the ICSSGS RC3.1 rom to my phone, or is there a bit more involved in getting this Galaxy S version on an ICS Rom.
Also would love to hear from people who have the Canadian i9000m and who have upgraded to ICS, and what their experiences have been like.
Thanks
Is your phone rooted, if not you'll need to start with that.

Hi,
I have a Bell I9000M, which is just the international version I9000 with an "M" slapped on to the end of the model name, so you're in the right forum
It's pretty simple to flash to ICS from 2.3.3. All you really need is CWM recovery installed. If you're coming from pure stock 2.3.3 for the I9000M, then here are the steps for flashing ICS:
1. Flash to any Gingerbread firmware that's compatible, I usually go for something like JVT 2.3.5 which can be found in the stock firmware collection thread, so in these steps I'll just assume you're going to use JVT.
2. Flash Chainfire's kernel (make sure you flash the right CF kernel version for your stock firmware) over the stock JVT. This will root and install CWM to your phone.
3. Reboot into CWM recovery using the three button combo (hold volume up, home, and power while starting the phone).
4. Flash onecosmic's ICS ROM or teamhacksung's ICS ROM (or whatever ICS ROM you want) through CWM recovery. Both of these ROMs listed can be found in the I9000 development section.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I've run into a bit of a problem. Odin will recognize my phone when it is on because I have usb debugging enabled, but it won't recognize it in download mode. I soft bricked it and was barely able to recover it with the one click unsoft brick app.
I've tried different ports and restarting my pc. I did come across a rooted kernel that would work with my phone, but I can't flash it because odin won't recognize the phone in download mode. So it seems like I'm a little stuck now. heimdall does detect the phone in download mode though.
any ideas
try to download the drivers to your computer and make sure that there is no Kies program activity running in the background in task manager, then after that try to go into download mode and plug your sgs back

I am almost in the same position. I have 2.3.3 all stock.
Firmware version - 2.3.3
Baseband version - I9000UGKG3
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7 I9000UGKG3
Buildnumber - gingerbread.GKG3
So i need to go to 2.3.5 using JVT.
do not forget to backup your rom and WIPE everything . (not wiping usually causes bootloops and it may even bug the phone so you cant go to recovery and you'll have to use odin again ) .
I tried ICSSGS RC4.2 and it kinda sux ,in my opinion use Dark Knight 3 and flash Dark Knight 4 to fix the bugs from both roms (read rom's topic) . Very stable and not that memory hungry
Hello guys
Since warnings about N7000XXLPY ICS kernel risks of hardbrick galaxy note i suppose that's a lot of people like me who installed last ICS 4.0.3 want to go back to GB but are affraid to do it to avoid geting theire Note dead.
I asked the question but no answer i just found this video explaining how to do it ,The problem is that it is a downgrade from an UNOFICIAL ICS rom to GB.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3DDEh8vyc&feature=plcp
STEPS : 1- go to recovery mode ( even it's not recommended to do anything with cwm with lpy kernel )
2- flash abyss kernel 4.2 final (browse zip )
3- reboot recovery
4- Wipe all- reset factory
5- always in cwm, browse GB rom and flash it
6- Reboot system
My question is : can we use the same way to go back to gb from official stock ics 4.0.3 SAFELY ? We have not many times to do it, may be we have one chance to do it right or we get the galaxy note bricked so plz any help will be appreciated .
Thanks
I have restored stock GB from stock German ICS twice with PC Odin. I had flashed the ICS ROM through mobile odin over a rooted stock GB ROM. I just flashed the ROM and NOT the LPY kernel. Had neither the root nor CWM.
I simply used PC Odin to downgrade without no problems.

I just did that, move safely to GB Rom. Just remember ALWAYS STAY AT RECOVERY TILL U FINISH FLASHING GB NANDROID BACKUP.
Hey guys, hope you guys can help me answer my question.
I always am not able to update any rom via the zip file.
For example i am now on Ice cream sandwich Kingdroid. I want to flash abyss kernal but it hang in the recovery saying updating files.
My only way of changing roms is to use ODIN to downgrade to factory gingerbread and go back up again to any rom i wish to use.
This happen with any rom, liquid or anything, i just can't flash any rom in CWM.
Is my phone partially brick from fullwiping on a icecream kernal previously?
I don't think so, you should flash stock GB rom with Odin (the rom must have 4 files, PIT, CODE (PDA), CSC and Modem (PHONE).
You must enable "repartition" on Odin.
After that your Note will be like out from factory.
I think you are not fully rooted, flash franco kernel and from franco recovery flash abyss kernel and then do full wipe and then install any custom rom and see wether you are fully rooted????
Hey guys (and girls but i dont think that there are many present^^)
As far as i know you should NEVER do a full wipe with the CF-Kernel on an ICS Rom.
But: Is it safe to do a full wipe on a GB ROM with cf-kernel?
Thx for your help!
* You can do, just flash the kernel + 4.0 Abysnote every time you want to do a backup or restore. This is also the safe way to restore a backup nandroid Gingerbread, after you have finished playing with ICS. There are some caveats, if you do a backup of ICS and forget to reflash the kernel ICS, we will try to boot with a kernel ICS Abyss .... method,1
- reflashed CWM,: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26212001&postcount=2203...- flashed AbyssNote 4.2 kernel - reboot recovery - flashed checkrom v6 - full wipe. method,2_ PC Odin is the only 100% safe way to install a fresh kernel.
And that's the other BIG problem with this guide - why is it telling a user to go from a dangerous kernel to YET ANOTHER dangerous kernel (XXLPY-based?)
The safest way to get away from ICS is: Use PC Odin or Heimdall to flash a safe Gingerbread kernel with working CWM (NOT a full firmware package, and DO NOT mess with repartitioning), such as a Gingerbread CF-Root release. From there you can wipe and then flash whatever you want.
To be clear - JUST flash a safe kernel and then wipe/flash using that - don't flash anything else in PC Odin. If the full firmware package you flash has bootloaders it could hose you.
until now that i read about the bug with the ics roms have i didnt bother to use them....i am using asylum because i read that the cm kernels are safe......i was just wondering if now is safe to flash some touchwiz roms ?
to flash touchwiz ROMs you will need a samsung based kernel, I assume you want to test out some TW ICS ROMs ?
If that is the case, Upgrade to ICS using ODIN, Once completed, let the phone boot, then reboot back into download mode and flash a safe ICS kernel made for Samsung ROMs, Such as Speedmod.
Dont use a CM kernel on a Samsung ICS ROM, And DONT wipe using a Stock ICS ROM.
with this that you told me i assume that the speedmod and franco ics kernels are now safe as before the ics ?
Yes both kernels are safe from the MMC_CAP_ERASE bug which bricks the phone.
However, to flash these kernels you should already be on ICS, Of which i assume you are ?
i am on cm9 asylum 15
ok, well if you want to flash a TW ICS ROM, you will need to:
1) Wipe your phone in CWM
2) Download ICS for ODIN
3) Flash ICS in ODIN
4) reboot, then reboot to download mode
5) Flash a SAFE kernel, Such as speedmod
6) Flash the ROM of your choice
NB: Installation instructions may differ, providing which ROM you want to use, Always double check on the ROMs Thread !
