Hi guys, just got a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 dirty cheap from Hong Kong, and using it now in the states. I am a huge fan of rooting/flashing and stuff, so I decided to give myself a little test and see how long I can keep this phone stock. I lasted two days...haha.
So, I set out to see how to root this thing. After reading thread after thread, I learned about the wipe brick bug on stock Samsung kernels.
Now here's my question:
I want to use method 1A (to be safe) using this guide here, and it led me to this thread. Now here's where I get confused. Which kernel am I supposed to download and flash?
My Stock ROM system info (remember, this is from Hong Kong)
Model Number:
GT-N7000
Android Version:
4.0.3
Baseband Version:
N7000XXLR1
Kernel Version:
3.0.15-N7000ZSLPF-CL558440

Any for of enlightenment is greatly appreciated, thanks guys!
The easiest is flash a safe custom kernel that will be safe to wipe, provides root access, and has Clockworkmod Recovery. Below is how I setup my phone to flash Paranoidandroid. I started with a stock N7000XXLRT rom. I did install and run Triangle Away to later to remove the yellow triangle counter warning on boot. Largely cosmetic. Please check wikis of this speedmod kernel supports ICS 4.0.3.
If all you want is root and a safe kernel then you end with step 3 and apply Triangle Away.
1. Begin with a stock ICS rom on your Note.
2. Use Odin on the PC,select PDA, and flash speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar with usb cable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673072
3. After flashing speedmod kernel you will have root access, and a custom Clockworkmod Recovery in which to flash custom roms.
4. Get Paranoidandroid zip and Gapps zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713 . Copy the Paranoidandroid and Gapps zip files on your phone's internal sd card.
5. Backup efs folder just to be sure. Use kTool from Google Play or manually copy the EFS folder with Explorer+ also from Google Play. Copy the files to your pc.
6. Press power button, select reboot, reboot into recovery and go to backup and restore section and create a backup. Select go back and reboot.
6. Reboot into recovery (Clockworkmod Recovery) wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache (advanced).
7. From recovery, select install from zip from sd card. Select choose zip from internal sdcard. Select the Paranoid rom zip and flash. Do the same to flash Gapps zip. Go back and reboot.
*When flashing nightlies, no need to wipe cache, data, and dalvik. But install Gapps zip again in Recovery. You will need to set up your Google account again.

Thanks. So it doesn't matter that I am on Stock Samsung ICS ROM from Hong Kong?
And also, what version of Odin do I use, or does it not matter?
Yes. HK rom pretty much is the same kernel with local enhancements. The XXLR1 seems to be German or European. It should be ok. Again please verify if the speedmod kernel works with ICS 4.0.3. The site says ICS so I think it does.
I used Odin3-v1.85.zip. Make sure you have an excellent usb cable. Test the rig by copying large files between your pc and the Note internal sdcard.
Hi,
Ive just bought a used Galaxy Note running Stock 2.3.6 (N7000XXLC1 Kernel an N7000XXLB2 baseband) and want to put the latest jellybean rom on.
Ive read through lots of threads about the brick warning and so on, i just want to know how to go from 2.3.6 and have it rooted and cwm on and the latest 4.1 leak or a modified 4.1
Could somebody please tell me the steps to do it as dont want to brick it and this 2.3.6 is rubbish
Matt
Hello!
I've rooted my Note like this:
#1
Get the original software (like N7000XXLRU - the file is 914Mb and it is a *.md5 file. ) and odin (Odin3 v1.87), install it in odin...how?
Open odin and put the file in PDA.
Option in odin leave alone (Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time; are selected)
Put Note in download mode: Volume Down Key + Home Key + Power Key; then Volume up key to continue
Connect the phone to computer
Odin recognize the phone and you will see it on COM port
Click Start
After several minutes the phone will turn on.
Now you have a original sw on your phone, and believe me this sw is GREAT...but if you want more...
#2
Root you phone
Described in this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360)
I used ''1A.Root + safe kernel + advance recovery''
Just read carefully (will write it down)
Visit this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
And download kernel in zip format according ROM you are having on device (just look for XXLRU-VDI; PhilZ-cwm6 v3.5 with CWM 6.0.1.8)
Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card to root directory (or any folder you make; I have ''A_ROOT'' for this things)
Reboot into recovery (Volume Up Key + Home Button + Power Key)
Select install(update) zip from ext SD card (Install zip >> Choose zip from sdcard; and click on the *.zip file)
select '[your downloaded kerenel].zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
Reboot device
Now you will have Root + safe kernel
And your phone is rooted now. You can have all the programs that work only when your phone is rooted (Titanium Backup, Root Uninstaller, Root Browser Lite, ...)
#3
Your phone is now ready to install all Android Development ROMs
Read each post ''How to flash'' it is easy
For instance I like stock rom and love 4.1.2, so i have sw from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626
Example:
Save *.zip on your SD/EXT Card (Ultimate N7000 XXLSA JellyBean 4.1.2 v5)
Restart in CWMR (Volume Up Key + Home Button + Power Key)
Be sure you're on SAFE KERNEL, then you can wipe (jes you are - on PhilZ-cwm6)
Full wipe /data/factory reset /cache and dalvik (dalvik is in advanced option)
Flash the ROM (Install zip >> Choose zip from sdcard; and click on the *.zip file)
Wait some minute until your phone boot!
You are done. That's all.
I've never had any problems with any of the ROMs. You can do the #3 1000 times and nothing will go wrong. Just remember to do a back up in CWM, when you have a rom that works great for you and you like. So if anything happens and you phone is stuck in ''samsung'' sing, you can go in CMW and restore it.
I hope it helps and I didn't forget anything.
Thanks so much for posting. I followed all the instructions and it worked fine. I have however gone and installed a 4.0.4 rom after using 4.1 for a bit and finding it too juddery.
Thanks again
Matt
No problem.
You can wait for the official firmware release and then everything will work 100%.

Hi guys! I believe most of you obtained root via this method by Jiangyi: [TUTORIAL] Root access for ICS on I9100G which requires a temporary CWM. Quite a few users face problems because in temporary CWM, internal storage is swapped with external storage, i.e. sdcard=internal storage, internal sdcard=external storage. It may be confusing for newbies, especially on their first attempt on rooting. Therefore, I decided to release an easier method, where you can flash the zip files directly via stock 3e recovery!
Requirements:
- Running a stock ICS/JB ROM
- External sdcard
Features:
- SuperSU v0.99 by Chainfire
- Busybox v1.20.2 by Stericson
- No yellow traingle
- No increase in binary counter
Instructions (Root):
1. Download SU-BB-Installer.zip from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390233485161005747
2. Place it in your external sdcard.
3. Power off your device COMPLETELY.
4. Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously.
5. Navigate to "apply update from external storage" using the volume buttons.
6. Select it by pressing the Power button.
7. Select SU-BB-Installer.zip.
8. Wait for it to finish and navigate up (select "../").
9. Select "reboot system now".
10. Congratulations, you now have root and busybox!
Optional: (For ICS only)
To obtain CWM recovery in order to start flashing ROMs or mods, read on:
1. Download kTool from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.ktool
2. For ICS: Download the CWM recovery kernel by codeworkx from here: [KERNEL][GT-I9100G] ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.2
3. Extract the .tar file and you will get a file named zImage.
4. Place the zImage in the root of your internal storage.
5. Launch kTool and select "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage".
6. Reboot and profit! If you boot into recovery by Volume Up + Home + Power buttons, you will now see CWM recovery.
Optional: (For JB only)
To obtain CWM recovery in order to start flashing ROMs or mods, read on:
1. Download one of the stock recovery flashable zips of Blazing Safe Kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293576
2. Place it in your external sdcard.
3. Power off your device COMPLETELY.
4. Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously.
5. Navigate to "apply update from external storage" using the volume buttons.
6. Select it by pressing the Power button.
7. Select the zip.
8. Wait for it to finish and navigate up (select "../").
9. Select "reboot system now".
6. Reboot and profit! If you boot into recovery by Volume Up + Home + Power buttons, you will now see CWM recovery.
Instructions (Unroot):
1. Download SU-BB-Unstaller.zip from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390233485161005748
2. Place it in your external sdcard.
3. Power off your device COMPLETELY.
4. Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously.
5. Navigate to "apply update from external storage" using the volume buttons.
6. Select it by pressing the Power button.
7. Select SU-BB-Unstaller.zip.
8. Wait for it to finish and navigate up (select "../").
9. Select "reboot system now".
10. You are now unrooted.
**NOTE: In order to use this method to unroot, you MUST use my method to root before this.
Optional (remove CWM recovery)(For ICS only):
This is the tricky part, the easiest way is to reflash a whole firmware via ODIN. But if you like new methods, try this:
1. DO NOT uninstall kTool or unroot your phone first!
2. Obtain a stock zImage (either you download it or extract it from a firmware package), make sure that it is meant for the firmware you are using.
3. Place the zImage in the root of your internal storage.
4. Launch kTool and select "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage".
5. Reboot and if you boot into recovery by Volume Up + Home + Power buttons, you will now see the default stock 3e recovery.
6. Now you can unroot your device.
Optional (remove CWM recovery)(For JB only):
1. Download stock_XXLSR_kernel.zip from here: http://bit.ly/XCEejd and place it into your external sdcard/internal sdcard.
3. Power off your device COMPLETELY.
4. Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously.
5. Navigate to "Install zip from sdcard" using the volume buttons.
6. Select it by pressing the Power button.
7. Select "Install zip from sdcard" if you placed it in the external sdcard, or select "Install zip from internal storage" if you placed it in the internal sdcard.
8. Navigate and select stock_XXLSR_kernel.zip.
9. Wait for it to finish.
10. Select "reboot system now".
11. CWM recovery is now replaced by stock 3e recovery, and back to stock kernel too.
That's all from me. Happy rooting!

Keep in mind that you need an EXTERNAL SDCARD for this...Or you are already using one, you will have to wait a while in recovery if that happens...it takes some time...if not, reinsert your sdcard...
This is going to be a bit of a noob question, but I'm new to samsungs, I swear that rooting is very different on everything else.
Is this the best way to flash a new aosp rom? The phone is not ICS at the moment, so I was going to flash stock ICS, follow this tutorial to root, and then install some jb rom like rootbox. Or can I just do temporary CWM and flash the root box on there and keep cwm?

No, JB ROMs require ICS bootloader...so the best way is to flash a stock ICS ROM, root it and get a kernel with CWM, then only flash the new ROM...

This guide will root your device through Stock MI Recovery(Works with TWRP also), but this is not Native Root. A new app named SuperSU will be installed, which will give root Permission.
Note : - Rooting Void Warranty.
Caution:
This is a safe process, but I am not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone.
In most cases this approach of rooting should not block OTA updates.
Steps to follow for rooting:
1. Download the Redmi2pLRoot.zip and Copy the file to the folder 'Internal storage' (root of internal storage)
(File at the end of thread)
2. Open the Updater app, Press the 3 dots at Right Top Corner, A menu will open. Tap on “Choose Update Package“ and select the Root.zip File.
3. Wait until device will reboot.
4. After reboot a new app SuperSu will be installed.
5. Open the app and Choose"Continue".
6. Choose "Normal", Don't Choose TWRP/CWM, device will go into Boot Loop.
Note:- Don't Choose TWRP/CWM, it will brick your device.
7. After sucessful updation , press ok.
8. Your Phone has now Root Permission
