Hey everyone.
I am running stock ics 4.0.3 , with Hydrocore kernel also my device is rooted and have CWM mod.
Im just wondering how i go about getting Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean via ParanoidAndroid custom ROM.
Using the download off the rom on the site:
http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...-4-1-1-jelly-bean-paranoidandroid-rom-116835/.
Any help is appreciated thank you.

Since you are on Hydracore it is safe to wipe. But just to be sure just take a nandroid backup, by Booting in to recovery
Selecet Backup & restore--> Select Backup & do a nandroid backup Then just follow the installation procedure below
Keep both the ROM & Gapps file on your SD card
Wipe data / factory reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Go to Advanced - > Wipe Dalvik Cache
Select Install Zip from SD Card--> Select either internal card or SD card (external sd ) based on where you kept the file-->Install the zip file of the ROM
Same way Select & install the Gapps package
Go Back & wipe Cache Partion & Dalvik Cache once again
Reboot & you are Paranoid...:good:
the best advice I can just offer you is to go to the respective Paranoid Android ROM thread and post this question there. There many people there as well willing to help you. Or you can wait for someone who has PA already on their device and perhaps they can give you some nice info on how to go about installing PA on your phone.
sorry, I can't do much help on you as I'm not using JB for now.
You can flash any custom rom if you are on safe kernel, hydracore is safe and you can simply boot into cwm recovery and flash the rom zip followed by gapps.

Yes you need to factory reset when coming from another rom that is not aosp based, i.e stock gb/ics.

I think you need to read instructions to the point before carrying them out. I had posted you the method for installation of PA which so far as I know is the correct one coming from any non AOSP based ROM. Pls. do follow the instructions. In case you are in doubt just ask for a reconfirmation.
Also any ROM developer will have the instructions posted in the OP thread, which you should definitely follow.
As others have told you, do a full wipe coming from a non AOSP based ROM..
By the Way if your problem is solved just change the OP title to Solved..
In regards to doing a full wipe: When doing the same process a couple of weeks back, coming from a stock ICS rom to PA i read you need to do a full wipe.
google brought me to this page: http://checkrom.com/threads/full-wipe-the-correct-way.432/
do you guys consider wipe/factory reset to be sufficient or is it a good idea to do this manual format of the /system/ /data/ and /cache/ partitions as per the above guide?
I was in a bit of doubt on that one at the time, so i did it anyway to be on the safe side and it all worked fine.
Paranoid android
Hey :laugh:
Someone can tell me what's the difference between the Paranoid rom from Imilka (PARANOIDANDROID 2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797698) and the Paranoid rom from Utacka (PARANOIDANDROID 2.15 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713)????
To be sure
OK, just to be sure I want to make everything straight... So if a have Hydracore kernel and a non-AOSP rom (for example ClassicRom V5) I can flash ParanoidAndroid? Even without AOSP rom? Just having Hydracore kernel and non-AOSP rom I can install ParanoidAndroid safely? I just have to do a Full wipe, then flash paranoid, flash Gapps, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot and thats it? Thanks in advance for the answer

i wanted to do data factory reset
im on paranoid android v0.5 having some probs with it
so i decided to hav a fresh install of th same rom with all 3 wipes
so vich version out of the 4 abyss kernel shd i use?
1)AbyssNote kernel 4.2 Final CW Touch Custom Logo
2)AbyssNote kernel 4.2 Final CW Touch Original Logo:
3)AbyssNote kernel 4.2 Final RedPill Touch Custom Logo:
4)AbyssNote kernel 4.2 Final RedPill Touch Original Logo:
People tend to use RedPill so you see the difference when you've rebooted into recovery therefore you know you're on a safe kernel....
I tended to use: AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo
Although now for uber safety (And paranoia) I tend to downgrade to GB and do all my wipes and FR's in there, Then approach things afresh...
No need to use abyss. Since cm9 is a safe kernel.
Sent from my GT - N7000 using XDA Premium
1) install paranoid v0.5
2) install gapps
3) wipe data factory reset
4) wipe cache partion
3) wipe dalvik cache
is this th way i can go? js asking to b sure
I too use: AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo, have not run into any issues.
I have run with issues . In the abyss recovery ext SD card doesn't show up. I was struck on the recovery luckily I had nandroid backup so I restored it . I don't know what would have happened if there was no ROM to flash and I finished all three wipes . It was awkward. Luckily I came out of the situation. But cm9 and speed mod is safe to make three wipes. But are they safe to flash cm10 ?

I hear that SpeedMod is a safe kernel to wipe on - Although as mentioned earlier I have not tried, despite running SpeedMod

Yes CM9 is safe to install CM10 but not Speed Mod
Question
Does have a difference between come back to 2.3.5 and then install rom or just make the wipes (data/cache/dalvik) in a safe kernel and install rom too?
Tks!
Hi everyone,
Newbie posting here.. I've had my share of flashing Roms a few times (say 4 or 5 times) but i stuck with cm 7.2 when they released the stable mod for the i9000.
Now i see that the cm9 stable mod has been released and i definitely want to try that out however, I'm not sure on how to go about it and I don't want to do anything stupid. Don't get me wrong, i've tried reading around through different sites and forums but all the mix and match methods of flashing and installing has gotten me confused..
My main question is, how do i flash to cm9 from cm 7.2? naturally i have cwm installed and can boot into cwm recovery. Am on the XXJVK baseband with the pawitp kernel. Not sure if i have to donwload new drivers (since the base ROM is going to change)...
Do i just place the zip file for the cm9 mod in the internal sd storage? could you guys help me out and let me know if this process is correct:
1) save zip file in internal storage (both cm9 and gapps)
2) do a nandroid backup
3) boot into recovery
4) wipe data and dalvik cache
5) install the package
6) wipe data and dalvik cache
7) install gapps
8) reboot
Once it boots up, i'm assuming it'll be running cm9 already.. could you guys help me out and let me know if this procedure's correct? sorry for the noob question but i'd rather just make sure and ask you guys first.
thanks in advance guys! cheers and more power!

wipe date
wipe cache
wipe delvik cache
then flash rom nd gapps
wipe cache nd delvik cache again.. good luck..
Best and most reliable way to do this is flashing through stock rom via Odin. Then flashing kernel with CWM Recovery via Odin. And only then flash CM9 via CWM.
thanks for the quick reply guys. will try it out tonight and update this post. hope all goes well.
cheers!

and if u want u can try chimera rom from team passion.. it s combination of cm9 and AOKP.. It s stable and fast..
took me less than 10 minutes to flash to cm9 and it's as snappy as i thought it was. now to fix up everything and check if everything's okay.
so far, wifi and network signal are working fine and dandy. might just have a go at that chimera rom.
hi
i m not able to install paranoid (any version) on my galaxy note... but rest of the custom roms are working fine...
everytime i install paranoid rom, it gets struck at the boot samsung logo and i cant even access to cwm recovery..
then the only option left for me is to revert back to stock 2.3.6 via odin and then root
is there any developer or expert who can rectify the problem so that i may be able to install paranoid on my note

It's safe to wipe using a gingerbread kernel in recovery which is exactly what abyss is, a gingerbread kernel. No need to use abyss if you're already on a gingerbread stock ROM.

even i cant understand where is the problem why paranoid is not working on my note.....confused
can i try installing paranoid without installing gapps..... will that work or not?
when you were on GB stock without rooting did you boot into recovery and wipe data, cache ?
( vol up + home + power ) buttons in combination together take you into recovery. you have to keep pressing till N7000 logo shows up, then u let go and then recovery appears
If you already know and done it then im sorry to repeat.
what method you followed to root GB ?

you must keep gapps ics ready for flashing with PA v0.4a,
keep both zip files on sd card
get into recovery, wipe as told before
install zip from sd card ( remember the name and keep looking till you find it ) choose zip file,, flash it,
then same thing with gapps , flash
do the wipes again
then reboot phone ( first boot takes time so be patient )
you can use the present recovery or flash abyss kernel - --go to advanced -- reboot recovery ...etc etc ( same proceedure)
if this doesnt work ill tell you a method using CM9 safe kernel tar ( give me some time)

Hi all,
I know similar questions have been asked literally hundred times, but as a complete noob to roms, I want to make sure that I get a full set of instructions and then I won't brick my phone. I want to upgrade my note to this JB Rom by cronosmachine. I'm on stock ICS 4.0.4. Never rooted or did modding to the phone. No kernel change (which I know nothing about), nothing.
I'm not sure how much info you guys will need but here are the basics:
Baseband version: N7000XXLRB
Kernel version: 3.0. 15-1115729
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 20 00:40:29 KST 2012
Build number: IMM76D.ZSLPN
I know that I have to first root my phone to get CWM? My guess is to follow method 1 on [24sept12]How to Root/Unroot Samsung Galaxy Note + CWM?
And then from there I don't know what to do in order to get the ROM onto my phone.
And is there anything else I need to be aware of?
Appreciate any kind of help.
yes first root usin 1a method using philz kernel.
Once done, you will have root and cwm and is a safe kernel.
Download the zip file of the rom you want to flash and place it on internal or external sd card.
boot into recovery now (vol up +power+home)
go to mounts and storage
format/system
format/data
format/cache
go to advanced
wipe dalvik cache
go back
install zip.
point to the rom you downloaded.. and wait for it to install. that's all. see your phone booting into jb.
hope that was clear enough

Thanks SpyderTracks.
One more question before I pull the trigger, can all this be done with the "internal" SD card? Or does it have to be an external SD?
stock recovery doesnot allow installation from internal SD. so external is required. but you can use PC odin to install it, but it will leave a yellow triangle and increase the counter. later you can use triangle away app to reset it, Final call is yours.,
So after I installed philz's root and safe kernel, I went into recovery to wipe data cache system, went also wiped dalvik. Then I went to the main menu, chose install zip, tried to select choose zip from sdcard, but it keeps giving me this error: E:Can't mount /sdcard/
Nevermind, I managed to install from internal SD. But I'm not liking the ROM that much, so I plan on flashing CM10 Nightly to try it out.
On the CM10 thread, it says that I shouldn't be on a ROM based on stock. What I want to do is to flash CM9. But in order to do that, I'm not sure if I'm already on a safe kernel (after rooting using dr.ketan's 1a method (Phil's)).

I'm not sure either, I booted into recovery, went into Philz Settings > about, and got CWM base 6.0.1.5, and PhilZ Touch 3.00 (n7000).
And what you're saying is that if I'm on Philz xxls7 kernel, I can go right to flashing CM10, without worrying the "do not flash on stock based ICS fw" (even though I'm on jb)?
Yes.. you are on philz kernel and you can directly install CM10

reboot into recovery,
install the rom,
install google apps,
wipe data,
factory reset,
reboot into cm10
I don't need to wipe system/cache/dalvik??
once in recovery

Hi guys. I just decided to use custom Roms because stock is slow. I checked some Roms and 2 interested me: CM 11 and Zaiben.
1. Could you tell me about differences between them? At the moment I have got orginal Android 4.1.2 V20B. Is it possible to flash Zaiben from V20B, I am asking because in Zaiben's thread there isn't any information about flash from v20b. There is only about flash from v20a. And I can't post in that thread yet.
2. Also what should I do before flash new Rom. Will wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition be enough?
3. And could you tell me if I want to flash new Kernel I just use install zip option? And which Kernels do you recommend guys?
Thanks in advance.

1) Zaiben is a modified stock rom, cm is a completely independent rom based on open source project.
All you need to do is have the most updated recovery and you can simply flash right away.
2) If moving to zaiben you can probably dirty flash and don't need to wipe data since it's basically the same basis
If moving to cm you will most likely need a full wipe (system, data cache and dalvik
3) Yes - you canno't ask that question
Before you do any of the above you must unlock your bootloader to install cwm or twrp recovery!
Thank you for the help And last question: If I change Kernel what do I need to wipe after this?
