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.

Yes, use PC Odin to flash, then perform a factory reset when you're on gb.

Sorry but i need to clarify this
So, is it ok to flash any rom with safe kernel? For instance CM9 RC1? I'm on official ics 4.0.3 from samsung, and like most of the note users i have the f*ing bug

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.

Downgrading to gb means; directly flashing a gb rom right? Yes, i'm new to all this.

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.

Either you dream of having it..... or you can root your phone with. GB there are many methods, next download CM night.. version don't remember which its now but you'll flash it simply using CWM if you don't have it flash a kernel with CWM and watch your counter

Or you can follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662802 and follow the installation instructions and/or videos to get this AWESOME rom on your device :good:

Take a look here:

It's all you need to download and use any of our amazing custom roms. Just make sure you're on GB, choose the right package, run it and then go browsing custom roms to find the one you like
I personally recommend AOSP roms. Go for CM9 or Paranoid, those are probably the best available - though some might disagree, i always consider AOSP roms as best.

Yeah now I'm rocking cm9 flashed a stock rooted gb rom then flashed cwm via mobile Odin then flashed cm9/gapss and that's it

Any special procedures?

Okay so my friend has a Samsung captivate. He is on 2.2 and I would really like to help him root and install cwm and a stable cm9 build. I see a lot of one click methods but I'm not particularly sure which one to use... I have an s3 which to me seemed easier to root and install cwm. All this eclair, froyo, and gb things are hurting my head.And just driving me in circles. But if I had some direction it would be appreciated. I just want to know what I need to do to get ,root,cwm, and cm9 thanks ahead of time!

I don't claim to know everything but I do know this. Being that he is on 2.2 you will have to flash to gingerbread first and make sure whatever you flash has bootloaders included otherwise you will have a bricked phone at some point along your way to CM9.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Go to that link and it will give you several one click options to get you to a variety of stock GB roms. Also for your intitial root there are several one click applications available that will get you fixed up you should just have to google them.

Yeah I'm used to having to flash new firmware, flashing cwm again then new Rom.that was on my old sensation. But thanks I will tell him to update to gingerbread via kies.then I will flash a custom kernel via Odin then just update to cm9

Stickies also have some good instructions.

Okay so he just upgraded to 2.3.5 so am I going to need to install boot loader as well? or am I just going to use the one click tool
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

If he is on 2.3.5 GB already, root the phone and flash a corn kernel so he will have a working CWM

If he has kk4 gb 2.3.5, then he has the gb bootloaders. So all u need is to flash a kernel with cwm and then the Rom of ur choice copied to ur internal sd and u will be good to go. So see this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19425513&postcount=1

So even though they are gingerbread boot loaders, I can still flash an ics Rom?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

^ Yep... And each Rom should have it's own install instructions and requirements in their OP as well.

Yes GB bootloaders are the requirement and are even backwards compatible. You should be able to install anything from Eclair to Jelly Bean now without problem. But as the previous response states make sure you follow the directions for whatever rom you are using so you are less likely to run into issues.

Yeah I just ran into problem after problem tonight. Finally got cm9 installed and his imei for changed. I am running into every speed bump possible with this phone

Struggling To Flash Rom

Hi guys,
Now I had no problems flashing a custom ROM on my HTC Desire but my Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 is causing me a huge headache
I would like to flash Jelly Bean but I'm struggling.
My Note is rooted and I have purchased Mobile Odin off the Play store, using Mobile Odin has not resulted in a successfull flash, yet. lol
What's even more confusing is that the kernel version on my Note has changed but no visible settings can be seen.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
Stefan

1. How are you flashing in mobile Odin?
2. What rom are you trying to flash?
3. What exactly happens?
4. Are you sure you have full root (DL an app from play store to check)?

nice one..

what rom are you from.. if you have root then install ClockWorkMod and flash Safe kernel such as Speedmod 3-15 and Hydracore,, after flashing safe kernel go to Advance>reboot recovery and flash Custom Rom.

Is ClockWorkMod safe with Samsung Note on ICS?

Depends which kernel, you need a non stock kernel to be completely safe.

Rom flash usually includes kernel, then flash required kernel after.

Appreciate your help.

You obviously really need to do some reading before flashing anything. Start with the stickies.

Help please. The horror!

Hi all, I upgraded to the official JellyBean on my German Note n7000. Didn't like it particularly the battery drain. Wanted to go back to ICS 4.0.4. Downloaded XXLRK 4.0.4 and flashed via Odin. No issues. However it will not go past the Samsung logo with the blue universe swirl. Not the N7000 white text screen the one with the flashing Samsung letters....
Any help will be appreciated. My beloved Note is hanging in the wind...

Full wipe before back to ICS...mak3 sure you know how to do that first...

If you are still in the original status I advise to go to any official Samsung dealer that have a technical service. Samsung can even give u a adres near u. They can help u without any cost.
