+ waiting also an answer

I was on stock GB, rooted with CWM. I had never flashed any roms. Then I recently updated to the German ICS via the method listed here. Everything is running fine.

Its safe as long as you dont flash the CF kernel. Use everoot in mobile odin to retain root. Keep kernel as stock. I have flashed LPY with this method 3 times so far.

[Q] Upgrading to stock vodafone AUS ICS ROM

Hi Guys
Just wondering if anyone has done this or could shed some light on this issue.
I have found this rom from this website:http://androidromupdate.com/2012/08...e-ics-4-0-4-n7000bdulr5-vau-firmware-upgrade/ which is the default vodafone aus rom which is where I got my phone from vodafone australia. Since I got it from vodafone its a GT-N7000B model phone.
Currently with GB I was able to root my phone by re-flashing a XSA AUS rom from samsung so I was able to root my phone by using a custom kernel speedmod.
Im just wondering if anyone has tried using a GT-N7000B ICS rom and using a custom kernel such as speedmod for root access as i have read on the FAQ for speedmod that its GT-N7000 only phones?

I did not find any N7000B ICS ROMs in the Development section, highly doubt ANYONE would flash a ROM made for the N7000B while there are many ROMs for the N7000 and especially as this is the N7000 forum.Devs,as always, are exceptions

If its a .tar file you can flash with Mobile Odin Pro to retain your root. GT-N7000 Roms/kernels work fine in Aus Vodafone GNotes so flash away.

Thanks for the reply, i think what i will do is is wait until the 27th of august as Telstra will be releasing their ICS XSA rom which is the Australian ICS rom for the GT-N7000.
So I will wait to flash that one so I can be on the safe side for using a custom kernel.

Hey mate, I've just deodexed & zipaligned this ROM, added CF-Root LRG kernel, superuser, busybox and SGS3 music player, TW launcher and weather widget. Can flash with cwm and retain your root.
Let me know if your interested and I'll upload for you. I'm testing it now :good:

not-i with that rom can I directly flash from mobile odin from within my GB rom or will I still have to remove my kernel first then do a factory reset and then flash the rom using pc odin like most other ICS upgrades sorry for such a late reply been at work all day.

not-i I took the plunge and installed that rom from vodafone succesfully through mobile odin thanks for the advice really appreciate it
Only thing I cant do now is get back into mobile odin for some reason i think it doesnt support the 7000B but thats ok im happy I still have root access for titantium backup.

Check if you still have full root. That means you can read/write in system. eg. copy something into system/app with root explorer. Copy a jpeg in there then delete it. If you can then you are sweet.
Do you have Superuser app. Open it and you may need to update the binary. Then should be full rooted again and fine with Mobile Odin

I definitely have root access as i can copy files into system fine as well as delete files from in there. No luck with mobile odin though, I tried updating the su binary and uninstalling mobile odin and re-installing i think what I might try is recovering the app data from titantium backup and see how i go. If that fails Im not too worried as least Im on ICS now.

Non-Rooted JB ROM

Hi guys,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a Jelly Bean ROM that is not rooted? I have no need to be rooted and my banking software will not run on a rooted ROM.
Thanks
BN

You can flash any jellybean rom and then unroot it

There's no official firmware yet. You can grab the leak in http://www.sammobile.com and flash it in Odin PC.

Thanks, was CyanogenMod not moving towards a non-root by standard with the option to root if you need to? Is the CM10 ROM rooted by default?

All custom roms comes rooted by default
You can unroot any rom if u wish

go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-N7000&pcode=-1&os=1&type=1#firmware and select your desired firmware, flash with odin

Currently on stock ICS. The reason I'm hesitant to install a rooted ROM and then unroot it is because I always had my HTC Hero on the latest rooted ROM (GB at the time) and when my bank released their app, try as I might to hide root or unroot I couldn't get past the message 'your phone is rooted, you cannot run this app'.
Why say you do you want to root then? Because I want JB :cyclops:

if you want jb, the there is a xxls2 unrooted in sammobile which can be installed via pc odin. just don't do any wipes on stock kernel as we don't know if it's 100 pct safe. but it's the unrooted jb rom, lacks features of multi windows. but you will have jb experience

That is very very easy.
You can flash LSA from SAMFIRMWARE or you can flash any JB rom and then..
Just open SuperSU and thengo to Options and then Full unroot...
Simple!

[Q] Philz Kernel - will it stay?

I recently loaded Philz Kernel and also rooted my Galaxy Note.
I would like to return to it being not rooted so that Sky Go will work. I have tried a number of changes to regain the not rooted status but without success.
I would like to keep Philz Kernel for the ease of use of it.
I am now being prompted to install JB (which I have tried before but without great success - problem with the bluetooth in my car not detecting contacts) - if I let the stock OTA JB install will I then return to being not rooted?
After using stock OTA JB will Philz kernel still be present or will it have also been replaced,
Ideally I would like to have stock JB and Philz kernel but I dont know if these are mutually exclusive.
I apologise if these are very basic questions to which I should know the answer.

First: check in what forum you posted your question.
Second: There is no 50:50 solution: rooted or not rooted, that is the question.
Third: so you have to decide: SkyGo and you stay on official unrooted JB - or - root and don't use SkyGo.

if you use OTA for JB it will unroot and you will loose Philz kernel.. there is JB kernel by Phil too.. Use the unroot option in SuperSu App to unroot and see if SkyGo works.. this way you will not have root but still Philz kernel will be there.

Moved to Q&A

Beware sky go will need removal of root and apps that require root. You may even have to flash the stock rom and kernal again for it to work.
I have had loads of issues with it
Sky confirmed to me that the app checks for modified kernal, root, and apps that need root on boot. Doesnt say that in the permissions does it!

Help! Get mye phone back to stock samsung android

Hi!
I unrooted my phone to stock samsung galaxy s5 ROM (Touchwiz, using sammobiles). I thought that everything would be as if the phone was brand new, but I suspect that my kernel isn't stock samsung, since tv2 sumo app that uses kernel detection says my phone is rooted. (though I have no root access now...) The app won't play videos! Please help me get it working again!
Is it possible to have stock android ROM but not stock kernel? How can I get stock kernel?
