Safe way of rooting? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi together!
I am totally new to Galaxy Note and I like to root my device.
Since from what I have red, it can be dangerous to flash CWM on a certain ICS firmware, kernel related.
Now I would like to know if there is a safe way of rooting, no matter what firmware I am on.
Please correct me if I am wrong:
If I flash some old GB firmware from Samware with ODIN, I would not have this "unsafe" Kernel from ICS.
Is this even possible?
If so, I can root my device and can use CWM without any risk.
So far, is this working or do I have thinking mistake in it.
Please advice me!

After successfully flashing the stock Ice Cream Sandwich firmware of your choice, flash a safe custom Ice Cream Sandwich kernel such as SpeedMod K3-9 or K3-11 and flash it via PC ODIN. After this, you should be rooted and have CWM and Superuser installed on your device.
After your device reboots, a yellow triangle may appear, but do not worry! Download the app Triangle Away from the Google Play Store and it will help you get rid of that dreaded image!
Refer to the kernel development thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673072
I hope this helps.

CWM recovery or CWM manager or Both of them.?
CF root LRG include CWM recovery n CWM manager but any superSU issue.
Notecore v.6,goku kernel v.1.5,speedmod K3-9 include cwm recovery but nothing cwm manager,u can install cwm manager as add on..
U should rooted before flashing the kernel..

Cwm recovery is cwm in recovery mode..

LRG kernel have conflict with superSU..
yes, u can use LRK for ur LR1..
Notecore had been erase emmc bug n had been patched..
CF just stock kernel which has given root access..
Notecore V.10.2 is recommended choice..

By flashing a safe kernel like Goku, Speedmod or Notecore for your stock TW ICS you'll get a safe cwm...it is up to you which one you prefer, just try them out...
As I know Speedmod is very stable (no oc/uv but battery friendly), Goku is undervolted/not oc'ed (don't know the voltage table) with a 100MHz frequency, but it makes no sence 'cause 100MHz use the same voltage as 200MHz...and finally there is Notecore with an eye more on performance than battery life (but it is good as well regarding battery)...if you decide for Notecore, flash the STD-version first (not every Note can handle the oc'ed version).
To switch from TW ROM to CM9/CM10 it is recommended to go back to GB via PC Odin to do a fullwipe from there to safely switch over to CM9/CM10. Other's only flash Abyss (a GB-kernel) without going back to GB to do the full wipe, but I read something about that there COULD be some problems at the end...you'd NEVER flash CM9/CM10 directly from TW ICS stock or custom ROM!!!
Ok, so happy flashing for you :laugh:
thanks for your rich info advices bro, a few questions.
1. custom kernel will render from official ota updates?
2. will mess up my current app, data? like notecore will reverse sd n ext sd
3. needs to restore backup after flashing?

1.-> I don't think that OTA is possible for rooted devices, but via Kies (yes, this buggy software) you'll get official updates if rooted I've read...I always flash my FW via Mobile Odin. You can get the stock FW's on sammobile f.e.!
2.-> No, Notecore overwrites only the stock kernel...your apps'n'data should be safe! The built-in CWM of Notecore kernel shows the correct paths for internal and external sd!
3.-> Before flashing anything you'd allways backup your apps with TB f.e.! And before flashing the kernel, you'd wipe cache/dalvik cache (not DATA!) or use the jbroid kernel cleaning script (this wipes cache, dalvik and fragments of old kernel for a clean flash)! After a kernel flash there is no need for a restore backup if all went as it should.
When on Speedmod, Goku or Notecore you can also do a nandroid backup before flashing any other kernel (I allways do).
And just to clear things before you'll try to flash...You have a rooted device already???
ok thank you :thumbup:that clears my doubts, yes im already rooted with mobile odin but no cwm injected well m ready to try out..

Okay, here we go...:fingers-crossed:
If you stick with Notecore ( I think so, 'cause this kernel is amazing), you have to flash often 'cause Gavin (g.lewarne) allways is cooking a new creation of his outstanding kernel.:laugh:

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.

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

Flash Stock LRT with PhilZ Kernel

It seems your devices has been rooted. You can just use pc odin to flash any stock rom. And it wont give you any triangle and increase binary count.
But the way, you should not mentioned loki kernel at xda forum.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
flash the stock rom using pc Odin. Then you can flash the philz kernel for you rom using the stock recovery.
Forgot to say:
My USB is broken, so I have to send it to Samsung...
Can I use MobileOdin?
yes.. put the rom in external sd.
Flash using mobile odin. then do not change kernel or wipe.
what ever wipes you want to make, make now before flashing ics
yes you can
My problem is:
I do know not if Triangle Away will work now with my Kernel/ROM ...
Can I flash LRT with MobileOdin AND select Philz Kernel LRT directly?
So brick bug should not be any problem?
yes when you select the stock rom in mobile odin, you can change the kernel from stock to philz at the same time.
Thank you all, will do so now.
everything worked fine
Yup, just as nokiamodeln91 said. Use mobile odin to flash the stock rom.
As info given, you can now apply triangle away before flash any stock rom with mobile odin.
Should you have any question, please ask here. Me and other member will try to give you help.

I flashed XXLRT with PhilZ Kernel in Mobile Odin and used Triangle Away then.
I wiped already everything, this should be enough for Samsung to fix hardware-related issues only with my Note.
Already got Note 2..
May be you want to unroot, just incase
Assuming it's a warranty claim. I think Samsung will be a little surprised if they boot into recovery and see Philz touch recovery there......

Help noob

I have stock ICS 4.0.4 rom and I want to root
my Note and flash to Cyanogen ROM or paranoid rom.
1 question: Will I be able to flash using Philz Cwm6 Kernel, or should I use other Kernel?
2. Does a stock ICS rom is a peoblem flashing to Jelly Bean Cyanogen or is the kernel which is important for flashing?
P.S Sorry if I wrote something because I'm still noob on phone modding.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
just go to install a safe kernal here for ur ICS4.0.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
my advise is do a backup using the safe kernal b4 flashing any roms it might help u in case something when wrong.
if u really don't know how to flash CM u can go find a rom manager it might be the easiest way for noob.
Flashing cm requires first flashing a cm 10 or 10.1 kernel, have a look in chasmodo's kernel repository in the stickies somewhere for cm based kernels.
Doesn't matter what rom you're on, you're right it's the kernel that's the important part.
Also if flashing cm base, make sure you perform full wipes before and after flash for best stability.

You won't be able to boot into ics, but once you've flashed cm kernel, then reboot into recovery and flash CM rom and then gapps, then do 3 wipes before boot.

Philz has fixed th error 7 on the 3.99 release. So you can go ahead and do the formats and flash the cm rom. There is actually no need to flash the th cm kernel first.
I have done it myself a couple of days ago
