Yup... I would recommend to first downgrade to CM7 and then switch (if you really want to that is) to any other GB rom..
Just flash away in recovery.. but I think you'll have to flash twice or thrice..
1. wipe everything
2. flash CM7
3. Reboot recovery (by going to advanced and selecting reboot recovery, if CWM doesn't come up, then power off and go to recovery mode manually by three button combo)
4. flash once more
5. reboot recovery again by going to advanced (if it didn't work the last time)
6. flash again and flash gapps and reboot.. you are done

What version of cwm does cm7 have?

As you are on a safe kernel just download cm9 and gapps put it into your sd card, reboot to recovery (cwn) wipe data/cache /dalvik cache flash cm9, then go to advanced options and reboot recovery once rebooted flash gapps and reboot system.. That's it no need to go back to gb

You can use Mobile ODIN Pro for the same. It does the job and doesn't cause Triangle on boot and doesn't cause count.
Just download GB Rom from dr ketans thread or www.sammobile.com and put it in your SD Card.
Open Mobile Odin.
Select the file in the column Open the file.
And Start Flashing. Remember to check for md5 checksum before flashing if it asks and Wipe Dalvik/Cache.
Done
Now you have Stock GB Rom on your Note.
Or
You can use Abyss Redpill Recovery Original Logo.(Reboot into CWM and flash Abyss 4.2)
Reboot Recovery
Now Full Wipe.
Flash cm9
Flash Gapps
Reboot System

Since you are on Custom ICS Rom its safe to wipe but Using Abyss 4.2 is the best way to install cm9. I have installed cm9 from safe kernel with ICS but does not recommend you as this will mess up (probably) .
Read if this can help you
For switching your existing ROM to GB ROM
here some modification
Download Prerooted ROM
and flash using Movile odin Pro
Here is guide how to use Mobile odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816158
Note : You need not to change kernel in step mentioned above guide
Go directly from where you are without doing anything.
At end you will have Rooted GB ROM + CWM without using PC Odin.

Last week I've been running Crash v8.2, it's a nice rom. This is the way I installed it:
1. Download Abyss4.2 kernel and save on sd
2. Download Crash rom file and save on sd
3. Boot in recovery mode(home+pwr+volup)
4. Install Abyss 4.2 kernel
5. Advanced > reboot recovery
6. Wipe data/factory reset
7. Install rom file
8. Reboot system
After step 3 its a good idea to do a backup(nandroid) in cwm recovery if you haven't already.
After step 7 you can install HydraCore 3.5 again if you want it back, it works fine with Crash. Im actually using 3.5oc on it.

So I cannot directly flash under Hydracore kernel 3.5 must install Abyss4.2 kernel to flash that rom right? Actually why we need flash kernel any use for it? Can we flash rom without kernel?

You can probably do the steps without flashing Abyss4.2 Just telling how I did it. I've made it a habit to flash Abyss4.2 before wipe since it's proved to be safe with wipes and stable with installations over a long time.

baseband version: N7000DXLR1
Kernel version : HydraCore v3.5
Build Number: IMM76D.DXLR5
does it safe for me to Wipe Data/Dalvik/Cache?

I have read here at xda, in description for HydraCore 3.5, that it should be safe to wipe (data/dalvik/cache) on this kernel. But thats all I know =) I would like to believe it's safe when they say so. But I have not tried myself yet.

Need a bit help on custom time installing for note ics

Hi to all expertise,
I currently have a note with stock ics 4.0.4,
it use to be on gb 2.3.6,
I use Dr ketan method (thanks) to upgrade to ics 4.0.4,
by stock gb > install custom kernel to get cwm > wipe data > wipe cache > wipe del cache > install stock ics using odin > install cwm.zip at stock ics recovery > install super user to root
Now,
I heard that if u wipe data, wipe cache, wipe delcache on stock ics will brick your phone,
so,
I can't use cwm.zip to install custom rom,
am I right?
Can teach what way should I use to install a custom rom for ics?
Thanks in advance.

Stock gb > Use PC Odin to install stock ics > install custom kernel for ICS like Philz or hydracore using PC Odin (you will get CWM & root)
Once you instal custom kernel for ICS like Philz or hydracore, you are safe to wipe since these have the eMMC_CAP_ERASE disabled.
Restrict the use of CWM.zip.
if you are not rooted, use the Philz kernel, and install from stock recovery. It will autoroot your phone and its a safe kernel and has best CWM ever built
I did a root using the cwm.zip last time till now, can i direct use the method u said or do I need to do something else 1st? And after the kernel flash by ur method, I can direct flash custom time like cm 9, right?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
i guess you are rooted as of today. Right ?
if yes what kernel are you on ? In on stock, immediately move to Philz kernel. you can use Mobile Odin to flash the kernel if rooted. if not then use the stock recovery.
After installing this kernel, you can directly flash any ROM you want
I'm still under root today, since that day using cwm.zip to root it.
My kernel is on stock ics LR2.
Baseband is LR1.
Can I direct use the stock recovery method to install this kernel u said, without unhooking the previous root?
Oh, and I didn't install mobile Odin since the day I rooted my note, just for reference.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
you can use recovery as well as mobile odin
whats your rom build... use it to find your kernel...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Is dxlr2, right?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I have downloaded this from the link u guys shown,
PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR2-OLB-v2.7.signed.zip
Is the the correct kernel I need?
And so, I will following the step bellows even though I have done the root by using CWM.zip till now:
1.put the signed zip file to the root of extenal sd card.
2.go to stock recovery, not cwm.zip recovery.
3.flash safe kernel zip.
4.reboot.
5.all set to flash custom time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, tq .

Yeah. U shld.
As long as philz kernel zip, and u download the correct kernel for ur built in, there shld be no problem in flashing philz from stock recovery.

[Q] I have rooted my device but I want to flash the CWM now

I rooted my device and I want to flash the CWM is it okay to flash it through ODIN right now? If so can you provide me the .tar file to install the CWM and at last is it correc that the CWM can make a full system backup because I wanted to flash the CM10 nightlies (I do know that to flash the CM10 I must have flashed the CM9 first) and some people said the CM10 isn't really good and I wanted to backup my system so if I didn't like the CM10 I can go back to my stock android
What rom are you on?
You will need to change the kernel to get cwm. If you are on rooted ics, you can install speedmod or philz kernel to be safe and get cwm.
Then you can make a nandroid backup and install the cm rom. No need to change the rom to cm9 if on a safe kernel.

what the kernel you have on the phone?
there is a possibility to use cwm temporarily. so u don't need to flash an other kernel:

Yes but install a rom using that may prove dangerous if the rom has bad updater script. This can be used to install a kernel.

[Q] a little help with flashing

Morning all, i am having a problem flashing any ROM via CWM. I have obtained root and my bootloader is unlocked (both the hidden menu and whilst in s/w download mode confirm this) also i have cwm recovery running with unsecure boot img, the problem is when i flash anything (from my external sd) all i get is bootloops! Is it possible i have missed something?
Thanks for your time guys!

What about your CWM version? The latest is 6.0.3.1. Incorrect version results in disasters
Sent from my Optimusx4 using Tapatalk 2
@tomkasz forgot to say i do a complete data wipe before flashing! Didn't clear my dalvik before (thanks for pointing that out mate!) @hernest my current version is 6.0.2.8, so im guessing i need to update my recovery? If so can i just use the clockworkMod app from google play and do it that way?
Am i right in thinking that because im on v20a at the moment that i need to flash a JB ROM? Or can i flash an ICS without having to downgrade via KDZ first?
Thanks for your help guys!

In order to flash ICS you have to use LG Flash Tool. There is a thread on xda showing how to do it step by step.

Your Recovery version is the culprit, then. Just install ROM Manager via Play Store and update your recovery to the latest version. Your life will be much easier in terms of flashing ROM.
To roll back to stock ICS from JB is quite a task and can't be done by simply flashing ICS based ROM. There's a thread on general section dedicated to this topic, you might want to do some research before doing so. Like the previous post said, there are no fully compatible ICS based custom ROM. Anyway, I think this device is much better in JB. Why would you revert back?
