Root 2.3.6 (LA1 Kernel)

Hey guys I recently posted a question about this on the general forums but let me explain why I repost it here.
So basically I wanna root my phone so I can use chainfire3d or some app similarly named but you have to be rooted to use it. So previously I was on a kernel KL3 which one of the expert people told me that KL3 can't be rooted or rather have issues rooting so I kinda gave up rooting but.... anyways I recently got a kernel update to LA1, I'm still on 2.3.6 but this time with a different kernel. So I was hoping atleast I might be able to root this kernel but I don't know how, I recently tried using unlockroot software but it gave me a 'failed to get shell foot's which in the website's FAQ said they cannot help imwith that error. So I was wandering if anyone can help me with rooting my phone on a LA1 kernel and please do privies detailed instructions and links if possible as I'm still new to this 'android scene' and I don't want to brick my phone. Also I'm not fond of the idea to downgrade my phone to 2.3.5 just so I can root, I rather wait for 4.0 update then hopefully when a root for ICas arrives then ill root it.
How I wish rooting is as simple as jailbreaking for my iPod

You cant root LA1 too directly.

Well that's a bummer, can I ask why haven't people created a software to root LA1 kernel as I hear its fast for android phones to get root as they are open sorce software.
Anyways correct me if I'm wrong but if i wanted to root I have to wait for the ICS software then root afterwards or I will not be able to root ever?

I cant see this cud be happen so early, better to get old version, Root it. then update to LA4 or any new version with keeping excisting root intact, as i have mentioned above. whether this method will work with ICS or not, is also difficult to say right now.

im going through the same predicament...
Galaxy note LA1 Firmware.
So now my options are ?
1. Downgrade to 2.3.5 ? and r00t and then get back to the latest firmware while keeping r00t
2. Wait for ICS ?
3. Load a Custom Rom like Rocket Rom ?
What are the issues with loading a custom rom? i will get r00t automatically right ? but the Flash counter ?

1. that is the choice shud be.
2. No guarranty ICS will have direct root.
3.Without root How you can install custome ROM? it certainly raise counter, if flash with PC odin

Doc ketan : Thanx for your prompt reply
LA1 is working fine in the non-r00ted avatar on my phone, now the Thread >> [20.01.2012][CF-Root 5.0] KJ1/4/6, KK1/9/A, KL1/3/7/8, LA1/3/4 - su+bb+CWM5 << says it can r00t the LA1 firmware.
What do you recommend should i go ahead with CWM??

No it won't Root LA1, it is just for CF Root for LA1, if you are rooted, then you can get LA1 CF Root.

Ok just to let everyone know and those still struggling to get your notes rooted basically do this.
Use pc odin and flash your phone to a lower firmware (don't worry it will go fine if you read the instructions and follow them no yellow triangle and stuff)
I used India KL1 stock rom from samfirware.com (be warned it takes very long to download it if you don't have a premium hotfile account so if your expecting a 5 minute thing then forget it, took me about 3 hors jlto do the entire thing)
Just use the India KL1 even if your note is not from india or use whatever other rom you feel comfortable with, just make sure its rootable
So after flashing your note with Pc version of odin then use unlock22 software to root your phone, which takes about 10 minutes.
Then finally download your firmware you were on or the one you want (in my case was a LA1) and use mobile odin to flash it
The reason why you do this long method to flash is because LA1 kernel is not directly rootable meaning it can be rooted but you MUST use this longer meathod.
At the end of it all my phone is still functioning fabulously like before but only difference is it is more free than before since its rooted and no loss of data.
I wanna thank Dr. Ketan a lot as he was the one who helped me with my long list of questions without getting annoyed so I appreciate it and thank you from the bottom of my heart, so basically Dr. Ketan is the best and just follow the links in his signiture if you want to root your galaxy note.
Once again thank you Dr Ketan (you rock) and this thread's question... is solved!

Hey Can you point to an Odin tutorial please? I am having the same situation and I understand everything but the Odin part!

Just follow the links on the dlsigniture of Dr Ketan

i have a computer sir.
but im really new at flashing roms.
they say that it's automatic if your usings Odin mobile and you can just choose rom and let the app find what your other needs.
i know they are a lot of guides out there
and thats the problem,im quite confused of all of the guides.
if you can guide me to a rom and easy to follow guide it would be much appreciated..

[Q] Rooting and upgrading to Jelly Bean

Hello,
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, I am not good at this and very nervous of doing something wrong and destroying my mobile... If you could please help me?!
My Galaxy S is:
Frimware version

Kernel version
2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813*[email protected]*#2

The mobile is very very slow and very difficult to use because of this. I have seen that I can root the mobile and upgrade it to Jelly Bean, and hopefully my problems will be resolved...
I am just not sure what kind of programme I should download to root it... also I'm very nervous about in what steps I need to go about to upgrading to Jelly Bean and what I need to download and in what order to do this.
I'm not sure what I download to my laptop's desktop and what I need on my mobile itself...
If you could help me with a step by step guide I would be eternally grateful.
Many Many Thanks
Wishing you all Happy Holidays.

I hope you can help me or I don't know what to do.... what do I do help.

Solved the problem with some thinking and restored the settings and re-did things and now the ROM is installing... so I think it is all going well!

Bricking an i9000 is rare, unless you flash firmware for a different phone or pull the cable halfway.

Basically what you're doing is flashing the newest GB firmware for your phone using Odin and then rooting it, also using Odin. After that you have access to " recovery mode", from which you simply choose a zip file with your ICS or JB ROM and flash it.
If your phone is normally working now, I suggest you retry. This process is fairly simple, given you follow all the steps.
Edit: wait, looks like you have a Brazilian i9000.
Since you're using a Brazilian I9000B, disregard what i wrote above, most ROMs aren't compatible, read this

Few beginner questions.

Hello guys I just sold my 4S and bought this Note 1 , anyway im new to android flashing and this stuff , ive heard that its way different than iOS restoring which is really easy and simple. Right now i got a few questions , If i missed a step or did something wrong it'll render my device unusable ofcourse , but will it be unrecoverable ? Thats the first thing. Second thing is that is it recommended that i install custom roms? right now i need one's with the Water Ripple effects on lockscreens , or if you can just tell me how to install the effect without custom rom's that'll be helpful because i want to flash official 4.1.2 jelly bean first and then the lockscreen effect. Im just new to the Android stuff and i dont know where to start Same feeling back in 2008 when i bought my first iPhone and got confused n' all

Read around for awhile, its what got me started when I first came here.
Again, read, read read, and avoid asking questions which have been answered countless times its annoying really.
Start with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, understand it by heart before attempting to root/flash on your new Note :good:

I dont really get anything , extract till tar what does that mean?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

If you just install stock official 4.1.2 rom via odin, it should come with the ripple effect.
Or if the update is already available in your country, you can just update it to the latest official rom via kies.

You'll notice that all of the download links are zip files.
You just need to extract the zip file until you find the .tar file.

Help with kernel
So recently I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note GTN7000 and flash it with franco kernel, then when I turned on my phone the bluetooth is not working and it constantly crashes and get stuck (The screen just go green and pink like an old TV with bad signal).

Alright guys thanks for the reply , i heard theres a way you cab install roms without pc since i just want to install official 4.1.2 , ill do some research

Yep, there's a way to install roms without PC, using mobile Odin, but before that you should have your phone been rooted first.

Well i can upgrade with PC but im kinda afraid .. All i want is just updating to jelly bean official on my note , I searched for about 2 days and learned how its being done but while searching i came to posts showing people crying cause they got their phone bricked cause of kernel blah blah , i also saw at the end of the installation guides that it will get my phone in a boot loop or stuck at samsung logo and im not sure xD i just want to update and im taking it seriously cause i dont want to brick my phone ..

Wait a few minutes. Let me get on my PC and I'll give you step-by-step instructions.
Now, do this:
Since you're scared, we'll do this the safest way possible
1.)Download a stock GB rom from here.(You can always come back to this ROM if you run into any trouble).Flash it via PC Odin.
2.)Wipe data and cache from recovery (Press Vol Up+Power+Home when phone is off in order to boot to recovery)
3.)Download stock JB rom from here.Flash it via PC Odin.
OR
1.)Update using Kies.
You're done

Alright ill do this when i get home , hehe thanks man ill update this thread if i get into any trouble

Im following this method right now , so i just download Gingerbread (550+mb i think?) and install via odin and then i have gingerbread? No additional steps ? No chance of loops/errors/bricks or anything or installing additional kernels like some people said cause that's whats confusing me ... i dont really want any custom kernal i want jelly bean stock ... if anybody could guide me through skype i'd be thankful
EDIT: Iv'e read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633938 thread carefully and it says that if you wipe using Settings you will get eMMC bug , i was on 4.0.4 and wiped but it booted normally without any problems (No loops No Restarting on its own No lags) and it was smooth , even though that app from playstore says my chip is insane .. Somebody explain this :S ?

Yes, then you'll have gingerbread. Don't forget to wipe after installing gingerbread.
It may brick. Not definite that it will brick. Still, better safe than sorry. Never wipe on stock ICS kernel!

Again, read, read read, and avoid asking questions which have been answered countless times its annoying really.

Well said mate. Was going to say exactly the same. People seem to rethink it's a manned help site.
We will help but help your self first. That's how you learn.

I actually read and made my research already , and also successfully upgraded to jelly bean and i must say , i made a big mistake >.< The performance is crap and the phone gets overheated in a few minutes on both note 1 and 2 ( Its on 4.1.1) Im not really into kernels or custom rom flashing cause i already had a bad experience when i emmc bricked my old s2 thats why i take my steps carefully with this note. Ill downgrade to 2.3.6 and ordered an original battery (Yeah im using fake one stupid i know) and see of that fixes it. Appreciate your help guys , thanks

[Q] Rooting the S I9000 I need advice!

Right guys
I am getting fed up on trying to root this phone using ODIN and the various CF-ROOTS but every time I do it some of them will just not flash some do flash but then the mobile does the reboot loop!
My mobile details are :
FIRMWARE - 2.3.3
BASEBAND - I9000BWJV2
KERNEL VERSION - [email protected] #2
BUILD NUMBER - GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
I honestly have tried lots of CF-ROOTS using the ODIN process but they just don't seem to work.
If somebody could just point me to the CF i need and the files i would appreciate it so much, it's getting really annoying now
Thanks all appreciate it :victory:
