[Q] My Galaxy Note GT-N7000 - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone i have bought a second hand galaxy note n7000 which has a custom rom already installed on it
Android version
4.0.3
Baseband version
N7000DXLP5
Kernel version
3.0.15-franco.Kernel

SMP PREEMPT Fri May 25 20:33:33 WEST 2012
Build number
KingDroid ICS NoteMania Edition v2.0
i am wanting to go back to its original ics stock rom when the phone was first bought, how do i go about doing this, just to note i have
experience with rooting & flashing of roms but i just want to make sure i do it the best & correct way any help would be appreciated

Download the stock rom GB ot ics.
put the phone in download mode
connect to pc.
Open odin and select the rom file in pda
flash it
if u decide to go to gb.. then u can do a factory reset from recovery
if u chose ics, then u will need to install a safe kernel first before a factory wipe.

As it's second hand, once you're on rom of choice with rooted kernel, it may be worth installing the following app to check emmc for any possible damage:

done that & there is no damage

yes.. use pc odin.

May be worth doing full wipes before flashing while you're on safe kernel.

How to install a safe kernel?

The update to 4.0.4 is, hopefully, arriving within the UK as soon as possible and set to bring some bug fixes and one or two features. Whilst not substantial, it would be nice to receive this update but I am shocked to hear that Samsung have yet to fix the well-known brick bug. So, how difficult is it to install a safe kernel on my stock ICS ROM 4.0.3 version. I don't want to change ROMs, as I need the S-Pen apps, and I don't want to lose apps or data. I just want to change kernels. Also, if I change kernels, will updating my ROM to 4.0.4 revert my kernel to a brick bug affected one? If so, how do I go about installing a custom kernel on a stock 4.0.4 ROM?
Speed mod kernel is best and free from brick bug and really smooth with good battery life

General questions on rooting and flashing roms on note

Im just stating here that I will generally know what you are talking about, im not a noob when it comes to android modding/roms/rooting, however i have always been worried with my note because ive seen lots of threads on devices being bricked.
basically i want to root my note, get CWM recovery onto it, and then flash whatever ROM/s i choose, without getting my phone bricked in the process.
i want someone to advise me on the best way to go about this whole thing, thankyou!
my device:
Samsung galaxy note (not sure if international or not, i bought from kogan.com.au, i live in australia, and have a telstra sim in it, however i think kogan ships the intl model)
android version: 4.0.3 ICS (stock)
baseband: N7000XXLPT
KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
BUILD NUMBER: IML74K.XXLPY
carrier: telstra (prepaid, and phone is unlocked)
the main confusion i have here is finding the correct threads for my kernel version, however i couldnt find what i wanted, and was unsure of which was safest, so thanks all for helping me out!

Hello Good Dr. I am about to try rooting via method 1.Rooting with stock recovery. After this am i correct in saying I should flash notecore kernel ? I would be using Mobile Odin to do this as I dont have Windows PC.
What would be safest method to get to ParanoidAndroid JB or CM10 JB from there ? After the Kernel is flashed. Would I have to downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom first then flash ParanoidAndroid ? So your method 1 > flash kernel > downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom > ParanoidAndroid ?
Kind Thanks.
If you want to downgrade to prerooted rom then no need to get root, except you have no option to use pc. In this condition just root n use mobile odin to flash prerooted rom. After successful flashing wipe cache n data and flash cusyom ROM.

So please just to clarify Dr.ketan. If I follow your method 1 to root my ICS Note and then I flash safe notecore kernel via Mobile Odin then I could flash ANY custom rom ? No need to flash a pre-rooted GB rom ? If this is correct would I need to wipe cache and data before flashing custom rom ? Please could you clarify which cache I should wipe ?
Thank you very much.
[Resolved via DM. Thanks Dr.Katan]
After flashing note core.you can.flash custom rom if that is ics based.
Otherwise i recommend to flash preroored gb rom first and wipe all (cache,data and delvic cache)

Can I flash pre-rooted gb rom with mobile odin ? do I need a tar file or will it work with zip ? or should I use recovery mode and a zip ?
Thank you.
Stephen
Mobile odin can't flash zip.recovery.files. You can flash tar file, and prerooted gb rom is in tar. You can use mobile odin for that

Well guys. It looks like my flashing rom days are over before they have begun !
Tryed flashing the pre-rooted GB rom via Mobile Odin. This is what I get http://twitpic.com/an6zbi
This isnt right is it. Surely the other sections should be filled in not just System ? This is a real problem as I dont have Windows and can get my head around Heimdall. Im stumped. Is there a file I can use via Restore to install the rom ?
Hope someone can help !

I have read a lot but I'm still a bit confused...
Hello dear friends,
I'm just a newbie here, so please be patient ...
1) I'm planning to root+CWM my n7000 and also (and finally) want to flash CM9.1 (stable) on it. Right now I'm on GB 2.3.6 (not directly rootable) it's ZSLA2... for what I understand from Dr. Ketan's rooting guide is that I have to first downgrade the device flashing a pre-rooted+CWM'ed GB ROM from Chainfire..... ok, no problem.... but, my main question is: once I already have this pre-rooted gingerbread rom, can I (must I) do a hard reset/wipe prior to flash a custom rom?... and, can I FINALLY and DIRECTLY flash the CM9.1 + Gapps files from that chainfire's gingerbread rom version/kernel?... or do I have to upgrade again to a new GB ROM and then flash the CM?.... or even further: do I have to upgrade to a newer GB ROM then to an ICS ROM and only then I would can flash the CM file??....
2) The obligated dumb question: Once I finally flash CM9.1 ROM, it's a must (or a recommended practice) to flash a safe kernel like Franco, Speedmod, Notecore (for safety and/or performance)??
Thank you for your time! cheers

1. always advisable to do all three wipes ( data , cache, dalvik) in CWM if you are on GB and planning to flash another rom from there.
--- yes, you can directly go from pre-rooted Gb to CM 9.1 with g apps
--- when you are on CM and want to go to a custom ics then best to follow the method specified in opening post of the rom thread by developer. all CM kernels are safe to wipe and flash from generally...
2 . Franco , notecore, speedmod are all Touchwiz kernels. a CM rom will not boot with it, its not compatible.there are other CM kernels available that you can use with it, refer kernel repository by Chasmodo

Now that you mention Touchwiz (and continiuing with the dumb questions)... how can I have the latest Touchwiz (the SIII one) alongside with CM9? and... will I have all the S-Pen funcionality (pen and apps) in CM9??

TW and Cm roms have varied/different and many simillar features
you must read through the rom threads for identifying them and choose your rom accordingly
I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it by searching.
I'm running 4.0.4 rooted, and would like to unroot it since I have to take my Note to be fixed on warranty. I rooted with temporary CWM and because it's considered to be dangerous now, can I run the Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip from Dr. Ketan's root/unroot thread from stock recovery ?
Just wanted to make sure before I do anything stupid. And yes, I know I could flash to stock GB, wipe and flash to stock ICS but if I could unroot straight from recovery it would be a lot easier. Thanks in advance.
Yes you can, but remember if you have flashed custim kernel then first replace with stock. As well if you have update supersu from market, then first uninstall that from setting -appl -all

I got a galaxy note gt 7000 with LC1 kernel...brought it from finland and now using it in bangladesh.it worked fine but for some strange reason when I turned it on the samsung galaxy note gt 7000 logo appears but then the display turns black and the phone turns off...in other words it doesn't boot..
I have the android 2.6.X firmwire on it...(no costum rom)...It was rooted thoughI mean I had the stock firmware with the only difference that it was rooted with odin...
right now I can't get the phone to boot but I can get into recovery and odin mode though...

thanks a LOT...I have some stupid question though...
it says "These all are stock ROMs and this can be flashed using PC odin without exclamation mark or raising flash counter. Read installation note at end of list"
my phone gives the exclamation mark when it turns on...does that mean that I can not install these roms??
and also I don't know which country is my phone from...I mean I don't know which exact firmware I should download...all I know is that I have the LC1 kernel, the phone was brought from finland and I am currently using it here in bangladesh...
I am so sorry is just that I don't know where to start and I am panicking right now...
No, it doesn't mean you can't flash them. It just means that if you flash them, they won't raise the flash counter and won't cause the yellow triangle to appear. You can flash them safely. If you still have the yellow triangle after flashing them then use TriangleAway to remove that triangle and reset the flash counter.

There's another option though, you can try and download CyanogenMod9. It's only 150MBs.
Either way, good luck!

really I can use any country's firmware??so what are actually the things I should look out for when downloading a rom??the kernel??I mean what are the precautions I should be aware of before downloading a rom??
how does the cyanogen mod9 works??the thing is I need to flash my note becouse it is stuck in the boot logo...then it turns off without booting properly...is there any risk I should take into account before flashing cyanogen mod9??
No, you won't need stock ROM if you are flashing a custom ROM. Just follow the instructions very carefully. Most important of all is to flash a safe kernel to wipe. NEVER wipe using stock ICS kernel as that will brick your phone (read about emmc bug).
Flashing CM9 works like any other ROM. You download the safe kernel and flash it using Odin PC then boot into recovery to wipe data and cache. Then copy the ROM zip file to your memory card or internal storage and flash it from recovery mode.

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------
Also you might want to know that you will lose all Touchwiz applications when you flash CM9 like S Memo and S Pen. You can flash it until you get your hands on the stock ROM later so you can use your phone now.

guys thanks a lot for the replies...
so here is the thing I can flash any rom i want into it right??
but I have to use a safe kernel...my question was can I use any a kernel that's different from the kernel that's on the phone?? (XXLC1)??
oki thanks a lot for the replies...I wil ltry the CMW mod9 way...I don't use s pen or s note anyway...I need the phone to work..
guys another question though...since my phone is stuck in the boot logo then it just turns black(the display of course)
won't this prevent me from flashing cm9 into it??I can still get into recovery mode and download mode...plus mine have a rooted gingerbread stock rom 2.3.6 that is apparently "soft bricked" or needs to be flashed...are there any other option such as cm9??I mean there are a lotta bugs in the CM9...maybe an older costum rom??should I get the safe kernel for cm9 before installing cm9??
thanks a again for all the help...
Nope. You don't need a working phone to flash ROMs and kernels. As long as recovery and download modes are working then you are fine.
Just boot into download mode and flash ANY safe kernel using Odin and then you can wipe data and flash any ROM you want from recovery.
For safe kernels, there are a couple of them. There's Notecore, speed mod and the one included with CM9 (might be speeemod, not sure). Check the forum you will find many of them.
I think you already have a safe kernel though. GB's stock kernel is safe as far as I know. But to be on the safe side, follow the instructions on CM9's site to the letter and you will have a working phone.

TANKS A LOT FOR THE REPLIES YOU GUYS ARE SAVING MY A*S...I love this forum I'm new but I love the help I am getting thanks much apreciated!!
SPEEDMOD AMD NOTECARE ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CM9. if you have speedmod or notecore installed cm9 will NOT boot
you need a non touchwiz kernel
you can download the cm9 kernel from this link... Have the cm9 zip ready to flash on the sdcard and run it. It is safe to wipe without worry about hardbrick omce cm9 kernel is insyalled.

CriskeloRomNOTE.v7-MD5-5F1906B96CA2380265104AC12D7EEF5C.zip

• Kernel 4.1 AbyssNote

• More wallpapers in the stock application
• Repaired, Select Wallpapers
• Jkay v13.5.1 + Spanish
• Improved response when an application
• More things that I remember and all of the previous version"
so basically it says kernel 4.1 abyssnote...does that mean that I have to install such kernel to flash this rom??
also what does "No wipe" means??that if I wipe data before flashing will it brick my phone??
I am sorry i these questions may seem stupid and very bugging I just don't want to take chances before flashing...thanks again for all the help though!!
Abyssnote is a GB based safe kernel. You cam flash that. Abyss is safe to wipe from and so is your stock gb kernel. Just do notwipe if you are on a 4.0 based kernel that is not a safe kernel. All kernels in the post i did above are safe. All gb kernels are safe to wipe in. It just says no wipe because it doesnt require one if going from certain other roms. You shoukd wipe if you choose that rom...
Flash it with pc odin with a wipe... So long as your not on ICS based kernel the wipe itsrlf should not brivk you..

Need help

Hey Guys,
I have Galaxy note GT-N7000
android ver. : 4.0.3
I wanna know how could I update to jelly bean or at least ICS 4.4 if there is no official version of JB for Note yet,
I'm afraid that I heard that there is a problem with the Kernel or something like this in galaxy note that I can't update to newer version of andriod,
could you tell me please how to do this safely without any harm ?!!
Once you flash stock ROM for your area then you will be able to update with kies/OTA (once it released to your area)
But incase if you are on any other ROM there will be option to update with Odin.
stay tuned to XDA.
do you have a costum rom or are you planning to get a costum rom??
if that is the case you can use odin to flash a safe kernel and then flash an unofficial costum rom...search in the forum...
if you are on stock rom and you plan on staying on stock rom you will have to wait till it releases and you can download it once its released
the thing about the ICS being unsafe applies only if you're rooting or flashing a costum rom...other then that you should be fine as far as I know.
just out of curiosity why is everyone so eager to get on ics or jb??I am still on gingerbread and I don't exactly need to update...

how to get safe kernel ? and how to flash kernel and costum rom ? sorry I'm newbie :$
I rooted ICS 4.0.4 by a way I found it in XDA forum and it is rooted safely but without CWM
about why i'm eager to get ICS or JB is that some people told me that it is better for battery usage , I'm not sure !!

Thnx so much
but I wanna know , after I flash it , what should I do ? install new rom or it will be back again to GB or what ?! sorry that is my first time to flash anything !!
You will remain same on ICS 4.0.4 by flashing this. But this is safe kernel, you will be safe from emmc brick bug, as well you can use its CWM to backup/restore nandroid, as well you can flash custom ROM.

Root Checker says it is rooted , I downloaded Mobile Odin v3.25 , but the same happened !!
free or pro version?
Free version seek thread on xda and follow instal instructions.
Pro version check if you have granted root rights in super user app.

i installed got brickbug app ,and it says : Danger this eMMC chip os known to have the brick bug !! after flashing the kernel
does that mean i still can't flash custom roms , factory reset or wipe on stock ICS 4.0.3 ?
After flashing safe kernel, you can safely wipe or hard reset.
And yes flash custom rom too, but before flashing custom rom you have to read instruction from custim rom thread op.

is it safe to download and install roms from rommanager (CWM) ?! the rom is cyanogenmod 9.1.0 !!!
so sorry I know that i'm annoying and bothering u , but I really want to make sure that my phone will not break down !!

[Q] How to uninstall Cyanogenmod 7?

I've been using CM 7 on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 and recently it has started to crash really frequently... So how do I remove it?
I understand that I'll have to download some "ROM" and go into download mode (how?) and then do something..
Please have in mind that my USB is NOT working for some odd reason but I can transfer files to my phone via Airdroid if transferring ROMs(?) is a thing I have to do.
EDIT: My android version CURRENTLY (with CM) is 2.3.7, before it was 2.0.2.
You're in the wrong section. Please post in the right section next time.
Try searching a flashable Stock ROM. If u don't find one, buy a new USB cable.

So I guess I'm staying with Cyanogenmod...
You can try a Stock Based Rom or even a CM 7 based ROM which is more stable.
A few good ROMs have been reviewed by me here,

1. Flash your current official firmware via Odin
2. Upgrade to Gingerbread flashing a stock rom via Odin
I advice you to be careful flashing GB roms when you are using Froyo, so you should upgrade to GB before flashing a GB custom based rom

There's no such thing as uninstalling a rom, just flash a new one and you're good to go
