your steps are on the right track. Update to 4.0.4 using PC kies.. and root it after again. The extra steps you need to do after rooting would be to install Chainfire's Triangle Away app to reset your binary counter of your phone.
After that, then you should be good to go!

well.. if you rooted it before.. it's going to lose root once you upgrade it to 4.0.4.. root it back again (install a safe kernel) and put your worries aside. Rooting will not cause your bricking..
bricking is caused when your initiating a factory wipe on your phone on a unsafe ICS kernel. Most bricks are caused when people readily go jumping the wagon on wiping their data without thinking it first if they're on a safe kernel or not.

Hi guys,
I wonder if this is possible.. and forgive me if this has been asked before... but
can I install a custom kernel on my Note?
The Kernel version is DXLC2 and its not yet rooted.. Can I install, say Franco's kernel, or SpeedMod thru Recovery Mode ? (copying the zip kernel in the internal SD of my phone)
Would that be possible w/o root?
TIA
No. You should be rooted..................
Maybe you can try first and let us know the result. Like myth-buster, you know..
No, you cannot..
Not "you should be rooted", or "try it". You must be rooted. period.
In the first instance i suggest you spend some time reading threads about Android and rooting and flashing.
ok thanks.. much appreciated
No u cannot.....

Well.. that answers it.. I appreciate all your answers guys... I thought I could just leave my warranty intact while flashing on a custom kernel.. but I guess, that's not the case then.. I really need to root my Note and then flash custom kernel away...
Guess you can't have the best of both worlds...
anyway.. again..thanks to all.....
I would say you can do that. I tried it before with my unrooted LA1. The problem is with unrooted phone you can't flash custom kernel with CWM or Mobile Odin because these require root. The only option you have is PC Odin. It WILL work, but it will invoke yellow triangle and increase custom binary counter.
You have to be rooted. Period !!
Also :-
Read the Stickies in the Development section and follow the methods there to the dot and you can save yourself from the yellow triangle and increasing the binary counter. And later anytime can restore it back to stock just in case the situation arises of sending you phone to samsung !!
Cheers!
Hit thanks if it helped!
Hi all.
Finally got a Note and love it, but while I wait for official ICS here in the UK, I'd like to keep stock 2.3.6 GB but safely root it.
There's so much info here, it makes me a bit nervous in-case I pick the wrong method.
I have this:

and would like to know what method I should use to root.
Thanks

Use Dr. Ketan's method!
Go here and follow the instruction for your Rom.
Edit: Just saw your picture, you have LA4 not LA6 on your device, that means that you can flash a Direct Rootable Rom!
Thanks for the reply but I'm a bit confused, my Note shows Build: GINGERBREAD XXLA6 as does the Kernel, so are you saying that it's the Baseband version : N7000XXLA4 that I should be paying attention to?
Also according to Kies it's PDA:LA6 / PHONE LA4 / CSC LA1 (XEU)
yes la4 is the rom version you are using, you will need to downgrade to be able to root
which rom do you suggest I downgrade to and still allow update via Kies?
Will the downgrade via Odin up my flash counter and give me the triangle?

go look at the root thread, there is a link for kj1, which is non wipe rom so all your settings will stay in tact
no it wont give you the triangle because it is a stock rom

I bought the Galaxy Note N7000 yesterday and I have exactly the same android-, baseband-, kernel version and build number. The only difference is I'm from the Netherlands and using Vodafone.
Now I've been looking for a way to root it, but I also wondered which XXLA# I should use for it.. I saw the reply of the downgrade (ofcourse) but I am wondering: those r for Poland and Germany... Or doesn't that matter and I can root it anyway w/o bricking the phone?
Post november roms are difficult to root, best optuon is to go to pre december 2011 rom
Or go to ICS and use cwm. Zip and superuser. Zip method

Well yeah, I get that point, but the thing is: I'm kinda noob with this. To be honest: my roommates rooted my galaxy s for me, but they did it so fast that I didn't get half of what they did..
My eventual goal is to learn how to root a smartphone and upgrade mine to android ics. My current android version is an unrooted stock 2.3.6 and I wanna go for a rooted ICS, but I already start to wonder now if I can upgrade my phone to rooted ICS immediately from the 2.3.6... Could u guide me a little in this?
By the way: sorry if I ask some pretty obvious questions that might have already been answered elsewhere on the forum, but I have been looking all over the forum and just don't know which info I should use from which posts anymore..
If you want ics then it is very easy.
First flash ics and then root it., ics is directly rootable.
I recommend first hard reset on gb rom for clean installation.
All informatikn regarding ics update n root, u can find on first link on my signature.

Well, I thought the safest way to get me ICS on the phone was through updating with Samsung Kies. After this I was planning to put CWM in the folder sdcard/external_sd and Busybox on the internal sd, but...
I got it updated now, but I lost the folder external_sd.. I can't create a new folder with this name either.. I don't actually have an external SD card, but if I remember it well, I didn't need it either. I have seen the folder external_sd for sure in there..
Edit: Bought an external sd card and did the root like u said, but without flashing back to GB. It worked! Thanks alot for the clear walkthrough! Hail dr. Ketan!
i own a galaxy note GT-N7000..my first sammy device. i have been waiting for what seems like an eternity for an official update here in SOUTH AFRICA. so i looked around the web for ways of updating safely and easily cause im a noob at this really. well, i found this http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxlpy/
but then i also found a warning about flashing this ROM...
my question now is: how can i get ICS without rooting my phone and without bricking it? has the soultion been found to this eMMC bug?
and if i follow instructions on the link provided, will i be prompted to updated when sammy finally gets around to giving me an OTA?
how do i enjoy ICS without worrying about something being slowly corroded in my phone...
help

If you follow that instructions you will be fine as long after flashing dont factory reset or recovery data wipe. The only solution to be safe is to have safe ics kernel like speedmod k3-3 or franco r3,r4,r5& r6.

will flashing that kernel mean i will no longer be able to get updates from samsung?
and how do i flash that kernel whilst following the instructions on the link and staying un rooted

Yes you will no longer get an update. You can always use the pc odin to update dont worry.
If you follow those instruction you will loose your root but you can always get rooted if you flash speedmod k3-3.
Sorry, if you follow those instruction you will remain unrooted.
if i flash the xxlpy rom and then after i get ics flash the lc1 gingerbread, will that be fine? will i get to keep ics while running it on the gingerbread firmware?

If you flash ics your in ics. If flash gb your in gb. There is no dual boot.
Sorry going to bed. Just follow the instruction you'll be fine. If your not sure, just remain in gb, you will get better batery life compare to ics.
ok thanks...battery life is important...oh well i just thought maybe i could run the ics rom but have a safe firmware...
one more question , kies asks me to update my firmware, will updating to the latest firmware which i assume is lc1 , will updating delete all my game data files?
All stock ics is no wipe, it will not delete your data.
If an update im sure it is ice cream sandwich android, if its not then i dont know its a wipe or no wipe but if its a wipe then it will delete all your data better back it up if i were you.
if its not then i dont know its a wipe or no wipe but if its a wipe then it will delete all your data better back it up if i were you.[/QUOTE said:

There is a posibility you will break your note, because of superbrick bug. Flash safe kernel like notecore.

better be safe than sorry.
I would agree to some of the advice here, flash it to a secure kernel like speedmod, CFroot or notecore. Did an upgrade before thru OTA but I never desire to factory reset my Note. It runs optimally fast even without doing the reset.
Regarding Root, there are no problems at all. Root it thru PC Odin. There is a guide created by Dr. Ketan's thread which will safely help you getting root on your phone.
Cheers!
Safe to root is to flash Notecore kernel using PC-Odin. Simple yet safe. Cherios. :good:
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this.
I have the Galaxy Note N7000, android 4.0.4, baseband N7000XXLRK, build number IMM76D.XXLRU.
Can someone please explain shortly what is the deal with brick bug and bad kernel.
The phone is notifying me that there is an software update but i'm afraid to install it because i've read that some kernels are bad and if you factory data reset your phone after update, then i would permanently damage the phone.
Also, from what i understood, there is already official jb 4.1.2 available for this phone, is it safe to install it when it will come OTA?
Now, i do realize that probably my question is outdated considering that there is a lot of information about this subject, so therefore i appreciate in advance those of you willing to answer me, thank you!
If you do a factory reset on stock ICS kernel, it may brick your phone. This happens on stock ics kernels. That's why we have custom safe kernels likes philz, speedmod etc.
Official JB is available and if you update via Kies i think it should be okay.
Install the update don't worry it will be ok.. Just don't do any factroy reset on stock ics

Thank you guys for your answers.
So if my phone now has the ICS 4.0.4 installed, logically i assume that the kernel on my phone is an ICS kernel that is dangerous, is that correct?
What is better: to avoid data factory reset the phone or install a safe kernel?
Also, which is the safer way to install JB, OTA or KIES, or it doesn't matter?
Again, thank you.

Install a safe kernel as who knows when there will be a need for a reset.

Kies if you can... OTA is too dodgy.. PC odin is also good
nokiamodeln91, thank you for your answer.
One last question: what is the correct order, install the update and after the safe kernel, or install the kernel and after the update?
Thank you.
Firstly install the philz kernel then do a full wipe and then install the jb update(use pc odin to update)
