Hi Guys!

Hi! Yes, now that you say it this way thats what i have done. Because in some tut it was said to do it that way, but i guess they were talking about flashing a GB rom/zimage.

As the install guide says you are meant to flash the repack and then go into recovery and flash the rom. You will likely need to flash a gb kernel via obin and then do as hia install guide says

Ok, thanks for your help so far.
So you mean the PC version of Odin. In which state will i have to bring my phone in order to do so? Where do i get the GB kernel from?
Would be really cool if you could help me further.

Well i am not 100% sure, tbh your safest route would be to re flash a stock gb rom then root it and then try again just to make sure theres no issues, in which case you can download a gb rom from the sticky in the dev section (make sure its a older rootable image!) and flash using odin while your phone is in download mode

please start at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 then/or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
i am hoping of course, that you can still somehow manage to get into download mode.

I has almost the same issue! I am running speedmod kernel and i want to put back the cf-root 5.3 kernel so I flashed the tar which was included the zimage via mobile oding and after reboot the phone gave me a blank screen and no recovery! only downlaod mmod where I can manage to flash speedmod again via pc odin...
why is that happend?

Come on mate have you even read the opening page for the liquid smoother rom on all opening pages it tells you to the letter how to install and yet you don't follow it and wonder y you have a black screen. Have you installed clock work recovery after rooting your note if not search how to install cwm on you tube cursed4eva is a brilliant guy who spells it all out for you- . Please don't use the fact you a noob as an excuse as I'm probably newer than you but can read and follow instructions to the letter as the developer knows best.

W00t! The phone came back to life! Thanks alot.
Now, what i dont understand is that repack_lp1 thing. I downloaded I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar ... now do i flash this one using mobile odin? Will this install the CFM?

Look for cursed4eva on YouTube watch the video were he shows you how to install clockwork then read the op of liquid smooth rom simple !

Please do some more research before randomly flashing files without having any knowledge as to what they do.
Before you start fiddling with repacks and leaked ICS based roms, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633938
If you still think it's a good idea to flash anything based on the leaked ICS builds, go to the thread of the rom you want to flash and read the instructions. Again, read the instructions and then to be sure read the instructions once more.
Then follow the instructions step by step and you're good to go.

From my rooted GB Chrack's rom I just used PC odin to flash AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar then I flashed Liquid Smooth rom without problem. However you should follow the instruction from their website.

This snippet of information can only further confuse a man who's mustering the courage to step into the unknown. Don't post stuff like that in threads like this. You can tell that to me or any other vet, and we'll know what you're talking about. OP won't.

[Q] Changing to a safe kernel

Well my problem is that I flashed my Gnote with ICS and now seems to be a problem with the kernels ( i read it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26272631 )
So as that thread says, now i have to change the kernel by flashing with odin/heimdall, but i wanted to ask you guys if any kernel will work with my rom or not... and if you can give me a link with a safe one (i didn't find any link to say that is safe, although i have to confess that i haven't searched too much neither ) I have this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589375 but v01 and i'll upload a screencapture with the system info because i think that would be useful.
Thank to evereybody and lets hope that the problem is going to be fixed soon

Flash this kernel to be on a safe kernel flash via Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...4&d=1337346991
Read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627854

the first link doesnt work, and about the second, what you want me to say is that is ok to flash the kernel they recommend there via odin and no need to change my rom right?
really thank you i was pretty worried about this problem...

WAIT
I think you should go back to stock GB and then use one of the safe kernels to install an ICS rom, like CM9.
I'm really a bit confused but this is from what I understand.

I still don't know what to do... does the kernel have to be combatible with the rom or it doesn't matter which ROM i'm on? for now i want to keep this ROM because works really good or to get the original ICS... so guys what do you say? Is it ok if i flash the kernel that brockyneo told me?

I would reccomend flashing the latest cm9 nightly as the rom your using is a old unoffical version of it. In order to do this flash the kernal i have attached via mobile odin (your phone will NOT boot using this kernal so make sure you go into recovery). Then flash the abyss note kernal via cwm, after which go into advanced and reboot recovery. Then in this recovery you can flash the CM9
Hope that helps

[Q] Rooting I-9000

Please see post 3 for the 'worse' update
-------
Hello,
Just a bit of background - have had my galaxy I-9000 for 1-2 years now, had been running dramatically slow, so upgraded it to 2.3.6 (GINGERBREAD.XWJW6) & it runs a lot faster. Unfortunately, it has many more "optus apps" which I detest.
I'm looking to "reboot" the phone - which from reading some threads means "rooting" the phone. My questions relating to this are:
1. If I 'root' the phone, will my contacts/messages be retained, or is it a complete wipe of the phone
2. How exactly do I 'root' the phone? Is there a thread that shows you (I've seen threads, but they are technical, & I become confused when they start mentioning roms etc)
Furthermore, as far as I've read, after you 'root' your phone, you have to install a ROM, for example "SLIM ICS" (what's ICS stand for?)
I've also read, but I'm not sure that because the firmware I've upgraded to is relatively new - that 'rooting' is not yet available? Is this also true?
Thanks for your help =)

1. Rooting doesn't wipe anything. Maybe cache or/and dalvik cache uf you flash with cwm.
2. Look for cf-root kernel thread.
There is a step-by-step guide and the needed rooted kernels.
You will need, Odin, the kernel.tar file and the phones Downloadmode (volume down + home + power)

Hello again,
Well my phone seems to have shat itself? It comes up with the "black screen of death," but I have been able to get to the downloadable screen.
I wanted to know how to recover it, I am no tech wizard, but this is the stuff I have:
- ODIN v1.85
Please tell me what else I need, I'm guessing a ROM?
I will be forever grateful, thanks

if you have the download mode, you have to flash properly the GB JVU, then to flash the CF root for JVU to become root and have access to CWM. then you can upgread to ICS

here the link for jvu
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/
good luck

Thank you!
I'm following it step by step (downloading the XJVU 200meg file at the moment)
I will let you know about my progress

you need the three files, for phone, pda and csc. And you also need the pit file, and the cf_root file.

So an update!!!
Black screen of death, diverted!!! (phew)
Flashed to 2.3.6 XXJVU
Rooted it as well
Now looking for a ROM to put in...
Now because I'm on 2.3.6, does that mean I can only get the "SURFACE" ROM? What's the advantage of changing ROMS anyway?
Cheers

If you want to flash slim just go to slim website, and follow the instructions, take your time, and make sure you read and follow the instructions, any problems then post on the slim thread, I will keep an eye out for you

I'm glad for you thiolus. Cm9 or slim are good. I'm on cna by franzy and i think it's a very good rom on ics

Another update guys!
Well I flashed it, then rooted it (see now I'm using proper lingo =P) XXJVU
Then finally put on CM7 which makes everything faster, for now I think it is okay, although I think I will update it later as I want more whizzbang!
Another problem I encountered was getting all the contacts, kies saved as SPD file which wasn't recognised - had to save it as VCR/vcard file, then merge all of it together into one file - I learned how to use DOS too!
So literally 8 hours later (slept at 430 am, now its 730 =P) this is it for now, thanks everyone for helping so much

I need advice on flashing

Hi there, my friend has an optimus black and runs on stock gingerbread firmware. I want to flash something new bcause the stock lags :/ I have a samsung phone and this type of flashing is new to me.
So basically what i will do is :
1.Root the phone by method one in the "starter guide"
2. Install ROM manager.
3. Use ROM manager to flash a new ROM.
Will this work or am i missing something? Thnx Is there any risk, cause i don't want to brick the phone as its not mine .

As for as roms go after u root the phone there are plenty. Sable or not is the question.

Thnx for reply but are there risks of hard bricks? Does Optimus black has flash counter?

flash counter? i don't think so
best solution is to install cwm as you can get out of troubles such as bootloops and other things faster
if you want best stability, try zeus rom but if you want jellybean, you can test it

No flash counter. It's possible to hard brick if you modify bin files you flash from SFT. Flashing ROM you can only get bootloop (at various stages of the boot process depending on how far it fot ). adb is usually accessible buy you can recover using SFT or LG R&D.
There's no know solution to recover from hard brick. LG emergency recovery tool requires working first stage bootloader.

[Q] Serious battery problem after upgrading to ICS 4.0.4

Hi, my note is experiencing serious battery problem after upgrading. The phone screen flashes, mobile data turns off itself and restarts itself everytime when the battery reaches around 50%. After restart, the battery level drops to 1%. I have wiped my phone to factory settings etc but the same is still occurring. Is anyone on this forum having the same problem? Does anyone know how to get it fixed? It is causing so much trouble in my daily use. Thanks!

Try a different battery first of all

Tried and unfortunately it's still the same.

Make sure you install a safe kernel, then do full wipes.

ok then go back to the gb and test your battery stability agaib

Sorry I am new to this... how do i install a safe kernel or go back to GB?

So you said you wiped your phone..did you do that on the stock kernel??
And to go back to gb,download a gb rom from here,you can also find the instructions to flash the gb rom there

If you did all the wipes on stock kernel and your phone is working fine,then you are really lucky and dont do that again,it may brick your phone

Yes you can
You can flash any rom from any rom if you were on a safe kernel
After you flash a gb rom,if you want to go to ics,then do all the wipes and flash 4.0.4
After you flash ics,flash a safe kernel like hydracore,philz or speedmod

Problem solved following the steps you all suggested. Thanks again for your help!
