Can I flash this directly to this?

I wanna install Kingdroid 3.0
Currently on rooted Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Can i just download the whole packaged which contained fransco's kernel v3.0 and flash it straight via CWM recovery?
Then after that install the rom?
current kernel > fransco's kernel > install ICS rom???

What u can do is flash abyss kernel (which is GB) and then reboot recovery from advance options. Then full wipe and just then u can flash ICS rom.
I guess that Franco's kernel is safe but not sure and it is not worth the risk....
Any GB firmware or kernel is safe to wipe. Also all the roms that are built from source such as CM9 are also safe....

Thanks for replying but im already in GB kernel aint i? is it really necessary to flash to another GB kernel? (abyss kernel)?
And after installing ICS rom v3.0 (kingdroid) >>> may i still be able to overclock the CPU???

Ahh if you are already in GB then, there's no need to flash another GB kernel or firmware Sorry, I am new to the Note and I am not used to the names yet.
If you are rooted already you can flash an overclocked kernel or install SetCPU or other daemon controlloer that allows you to overclock the CPU, there's no need to use a custom rom for it...

how to flash cm10 or cm9 over ics rom?

how can i flash properly a cm9 or cm10 rom if i'm currently using kingdroid v7.1 and notecore kernel ???

If you mean notecore kernel.. It is safe to flash roms from there as it has MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled and you can perform all the necessary wipes in order to flash the new rom

Notecore is safe but not any ics.kernel is safe to flash cm base ROM
Dont understand why op asking someone tried, why someone flash from ics when it can brick device. Just to try brick?

i'm sorry cause in a cm10 based thread i asked if it is safe to flash cm10 with notecore kernel and someone said that it's a safe kernel..So what do they mean by that? just finding a way how properly flash cm9 or cm10 if i'm on kdv7.1 ics and my kernel is notecore v13.. sorry for the misunderstanding....

i meant notekernel by gavin..

Notekernel is safe means you can safely wipe, flash CWM, can take nadroid backup/Restore on ICS ROM only.
Here in your case this safety have no concern. Notecore is TW based ICS kernel. You can't flash CM based ROM on any ICS based kernel/ROM.
To flash CM based ROM, get GB ROM/Kernel + CWM and flash CM based ROM using that.

Yes. Flash using pc odin, then root and install cwm, before flashing cm9.

That is 100% wrong,
you CAN flash CM{9,10} from a safe kernel, be it SpeedMod, franco or NoteCore, exactly the same way you can flash a TW rom from a CM kernel, as long as it's a safe kernel you can do whatever you want.
Now, if you flash NoteCore *after* you flash CM, your device won't boot, however you can always use the recovery to install a CM kernel or just a TW rom.
You do NOT need to flash a whole GB ROM, you can just flash the kernel and boot into it's recovery.
Also, you do NOT need a GB kernel or Abyss to flash anything as long as you have a safe kernel, aka SpeedMod, NoteCore, CM9/10, Thor, etc.
Your statement about flashing a whole GB ROM just to flash CM is misleading and wrong.
I still appreciate all your useful posts.
@PierreTech, it is 100% safe to wipe and install CM from NoteCore.
Steps :
0. Do a nandroid backup or a titanium backup. (optional really)
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Do a factory reset.
3. Install CM9/10/whatever.
4. If it doesn't include google apps, make sure you have the appropriate zip file and flash it too.

Hehe dr.ketan I gotta agree this guy... You can use notecore kernel to flash any ICS custom rom... Aosp or tw.. As when you flash the rom via cwm the rom will flash its own kernel... In the case of CM9/10 the proper kernel will be flashed along with the rom overwriting notecore/speedmod..
But I can not agree the tone he does make things clear.. He could just kindly say no dude this works this way or that...
I'm sure you know way more things than me or him but in this little thing they guy its right

I meant no disrespect to dr.ketan, without his great guide I wouldn't have been able to root my phone.

Oh, i really dont mind. It.is possible i may not knowing everything . My opinion was just based on Instruction on cm9 thread where it is mentioned that cm based rom shudn't flash on ics based rom, and that only thing i took into reference. I never have used any custom rom so may be not aware of fact, but this also be useful if such clearification to be made on installation instruction on op of cm rom thread, as really i m feeling awkward to go against developers instruction.
Just to edit :
@life.eq.null
You finds my statement to flash full rom misleading and wrong, but actually
I already used word 'GB ROM/Kernel' to flash.
That just means either rom or kernel. I never said you need to flash only ROM. I showing you one possibility, if someone on Non rootable GB ROM, then it will not be easy task to flash Full prerooted/rootable ROM to get CWM? in that case it is niether misleading nor 100% wrong.
Now here i am copying text written on CM9 thread installation instruction
Make sure to run CM9 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK!
Click to expand...

Now if my statement is 100% wrong. totally misleading then you should head up to developers of CM9, to edit instruction in more clear way. b'coz here ROM itself said to avoid, no instruction about to use safe kernel mentioned.
I am agree your information may be recent and experience based, even i can say may be better and useful to users who are on safe kernel. But that doesn't make older instruction wrong and misleading, when till now everybody following this instruction which is instructed by developer only.

"Quote:

I think they only talk about the Kernel, not about the whole rom. I flashed many times a cm9 rom on a stock ics rom, but always AFTER flashing through CWM a safe cm9 kernel, or abyssnote4.2.
from ics stock, usually I boot to recovery, apply the cleaning script Sybr, flash my safe kernel (do not reboot, it will work now), do the 3 wipes, then flash new rom cm9 based. then reboot.

[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...

[Q] Safe to flash Hydracore Kernel under "Crash Rom"

I just flash "Crash Rom" under Hydracore Kernel but when I done flashing "Crash Rom" my kernel version become N7000XXLRK-CL811902. Is that safe for me to flash hydracore kernel again under that rom? If i want changing rom i can wipe data through that kernel(N7000XXLRK-CL811902) or better on hydracore?

Crash rom includes CF-Root XXLRK kernel by default (as the latest version is without aroma I guess), that's why Hydracore was replaced by it (N7000XXLRK-CL811902)
CF root kernels are safe to wipe but are not 100% safe to flash roms using cwm, look here. Yes, you can flash Hydracore again.

I suggest flashing HydraCore (former NoteCore) kernel before performing a full wipe / flash.
Flash HydraCore kernel.
Reboot recovery.
Perform a full wipe (manually format /system/, too, if you come from TW and want to flash CM, for example - I've had troubles with that).
Flash your desire ROM.
Also, HydraCore works on all ROMs : TouchWiz, MIUI, CM9, CM10, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid... everything . And HydraCore is the kernel I'd reccomend for general use, anyway .

[Q] PhilZ-cwm6 kernel not showing on about phone

hey guys.
this is my first post on this forum..
last night I rooting and flash PhilZ-cwm6 DXLR5 from ICS 4.0.4 DXLR5 following this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
after that I accidentally chose PhilZ file-cwm6 # # #. zip again and installed twice ..
after flashing I can't see information about phone kernel like "PhilZ-cwm6 bla bla bla"
it is normal ?
and it is safe for flashing costum rom from stock ICS and this kernel ?
sorry for my bad english and noob ><
thanks

It's normal and it's safe.
Do you have SuperSU app in your app drawer?

so i can flash a custom rom from this stock ICS rom ?
if i can..
should i flash another kernel for a custom rom ?
and what rom you recommended for me ?
i'm looking for custom rom that working well with pressure sPen
thanks

If you have flashed Phillz kernel, you will have same kernel description as stock, b'coz phillz kernel is stock + patched for brick bug + root+adv CWMR
-You will have advanced CWMR, and you can flash custom ROM safely. It is recommend to wipe cache and data before flashing custom ROM
You can find custom ROM on android deve section, read OP of custom ROM, and few post after that for any instruction from developer. there you can find features of ROM and installation method
Decide yourself which suite you best
GoodLuck

now.. i see
okey..
for the flashing custom rom
should i flash other kernel ?
or keep stay on Philz Kernel ?
or maybe just follow instruction for that custom rom thread..
thanks

Custom ROM should come packed with kernel
So it will get change once you flash it. Later if you want to change, find out which is best supporting for your custom ROM and you can change.

You can use Philz kernel as your base to flash any custom rom. Usually the instruction to flash custom rom requires full wipe, i.e. wipe cache/dalvik/data, and Philz kernel is SAFE to do full wipe.

Very useful thread!
A Must-See for new users that want to root their S2.
Just one more question, if I want to upgrade the CWMR in the future, can I do it in the CWMR by "Install zip from sdcard"/"Choose zip from sdcard" ? Theres no need to worry about the kernel, right?
Thank you

I am in same situation, is there a way to check if Philz kernel is properly installed before doing the wipe, just to be safe,
any info will be greatly appreciated

If you kernel is flashed properly then you should have advanced recovery.
