Gingerbread - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys am I correct in. Thinking, that all the time your note is on gb that it is safe from the brick bug, and if so can I downgrade to gb without any worries

Yes GB is definitely safe from Brick Bug.
You can downgrade to GB from ICS (I presume you are on ICS right now). But please follow to the point instructions given by Dr. Ketan for downgrade to pre-rooted GB ROM. The link can be obtained from his signature from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801341

you are right but you can be safe on ICS too if you want to
depends how you want to use your Note

If you're rooted on ICS - Just flash a safe ICS Kernel;
Speedmod
NoteCore
HydraCore

Downgrade to GB

Hello, I've looked around to find this answer but couldn't find an exact match. I want to downgrade from rocketrom ics to stock GB 2.3.6 using odin, my current. Kernel is franco. My device is checked and known to have dangerous eMMC bug. Is it completely safe to flash stock gb from rocketrom?

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..
Thanks
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.

hi everybody
i am sorry for bothering you i just want to ask when using pc odin to downgrade from ics to gb stock rom is enough one pda file or i had to use the other phone and csc file with pit file and repartition, that is my first question.
the second one after flashing the stock gb can stay on stock kernel or it is unsafe.
thank you in advance

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.

From Samsung ICS to CM10

Hello,
Right now, my Galaxy Note is running a rooted version Samsung ICS:
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version: 3.0.150N7000XXLPY-CL474507
Build Number: IML74K.XXLPY
I'd like to try CM10, but I've been reading a lot of issues from people flashing ROMs from Samsung ICS. What would be the safest way to install CM10? Should I downgrade to a Samsung Gingerbread ROM first? What procedure would you guys recommend?
Thanks,
Tiago
It is important to downgrade first to samsung stock GB.

Thanks a lot!
But should I flash a stock Samsung GB ROM or a rooted GB ROM? Should I use CWM or Odin to flash GB?

you can flash the pre rooted GB rom by Chainfire...then flash the cf kernel....do a full wipe and then just flash CM10. Find the procedure here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
Go to section 1.3 and u find the way....hope it helps....:good:
Flash it to stock GB
here's the other link for the video.. again all courtesy to the creator of that video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3DDEh8vyc
There's also the links of the ROM (choose checkROM GB or RocketROM) and the kernel you need to download.
Just follow his video bud, (I'm following his video for flashing roms and I never miss going back to this video to downgrade to GB)
Cheers!
I see. So flashing Abyss kernel from Samsung ICS (LPY kernel) using CWM is actually safe? I just want to be sure because I've seen many people advising not to use CWM at all if you are on a Samsung ICS ROM.
abysskernel is not an infected kernel, that is why mostly when your going to downgrade to gingerbread.. most flashers will tell you to flash first to abysskernel then flash the GB rom after.

OK, I flashed Abyss kernel (worked fine), rebooted recovery, made a full wipe, flashed Rocket ROM and rebooted the system. I see the boot animation, but after that, nothing happens (blank screen). I've waited over 5 minutes, but the ROM doesn't boot. Anything else I can try?
I'm f*cking tired of explaining this over and over again...MY GOD!! You could've just read the CM9 installation instructions, CHECKED OUT THE STICKIES, ANYTHING LIKE THAT!
THE ONLY 100% SAFE WAY TO GET RID OF AN INFECTED KERNEL IS TO FLASH TO GB THROUGH PC ODIN!! Why the F*CK does everyone prefer to flash abyss and take that risk...!?
IF!! You're confident that RocketRom flashed correctly, you could probably full wipe (AGAIN) from recovery (you'd be on a safe kernel) and that should solve your problem...
Wait for a 2nd opinion though...

I reflashed Abyss kernel, did a full wipe and installed CM10 right away. It worked just fine! CM10 is working quite well, I'm really impressed!
You guys got me worried for a second. I guess I just had a bad download of Rocket ROM after all.

Glad it worked. Going back to GB is just a myth. If you have a safe kernel to flash from, then use it.

Flash latest Notecore kernel using pc odin, it will root and install cwm recovery as well, once you are on this safe kernel you can flash any custom rom via cwm recovery. No need to flash GB for this.
Note- you have to use triangle away to reset binary count after flashin custom kernel.
You can also follow flashing guide on your selected rom thread after flashin custom kernel.

You can flash stock gb for your region or the pre rooted one, from dr.ketan's thread. Both will work fine.

There is no difference if you go back to GB or do it from notecore or any safe kernel.
The objective is to perform a Safe Wipe.

Whenever you change the base like cm9 to ics then it is recommended to flash gb to be safe. But you can use shortcuts too like abyss or direct wipe and flash from cwm. The first way gives you full performance with extra juice. No fcs and sods.

[Q] which kernel for N7000JPLA1 can make root also

I have GB stock rom 2.3.6 N7000JPLA1, and i want to root it, I read it is not directly rootable and must downgrade and root then upgrade.
So, is there any kernel to use that has root also in one step rather than downgrade, root then upgrade?
Follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
If you want to upgrade to ics then first update, b'coz rooting is easy on ICS.
Otherwise as said above follow that link
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
But I heard that speedmod kernel can be installed over GB and will make the root also, is this correct?
No, neither of ics kernel will work on gb rom

But i think speedmod k1 and k2 are for gb.Isn't it??
For GB there is abyss and Cf root kernel also there. I said ICS kernel won't work.
Fundamentally it has no meaning to raise counter just by using custom kernel for GB for getting root, If you want to update. Here OP suggest he wants update.
ultimately if you want to update to ICS, best way is to go clean with PC odin and ICS rooting will take just 5 min to root.

Safe way of rooting?

Hi together!
I am totally new to Galaxy Note and I like to root my device.
Since from what I have red, it can be dangerous to flash CWM on a certain ICS firmware, kernel related.
Now I would like to know if there is a safe way of rooting, no matter what firmware I am on.
Please correct me if I am wrong:
If I flash some old GB firmware from Samware with ODIN, I would not have this "unsafe" Kernel from ICS.
Is this even possible?
If so, I can root my device and can use CWM without any risk.
So far, is this working or do I have thinking mistake in it.
Please advice me!
