Hi,
big unsavvy discaimer here, yet I managed to root my 2.3.6.Note a few months ago (CWM also installed) needing the root for a backlight notification app which I'm not using after all (I currently have NoLED which requires no root I think)
Having now installed Kies on my pc and hooked up the Note, I am offered an update to 4.0.4 which I'd like to do
1.Is that safe in spite of the rooting? mind you, I don't object to the loss of root that I understand is going with this update method.
just looking for the least time- and effort consuming way to upgrade now, I am sifting through a lot of the technical info here but the wealth of knowledge to digest before I can safely juggle roms seems a bit daunting right now.
2.Also, don't quite remember if I flashed my kernel too at the time of rooting (i was following a comprehensive how-to sheepishly), is there any way I can tell? (phone info attached)
3.Last question, will the kies update leave my apps and settings untouched?
thanks much!
d.
pls delete this second post sorry
Just download a 4.0.4 rom from sammobile if you like stock and flash it via pc Odin..
If you like custom roms go development section, download a rom then go cwm do all wipes and flash it
Do not use Kies to upgrade.. Several things could go wrong and you will end up with a brick..

no further precautions necessary? and will it install the ics over my current apps and settings? the root is no issue here?
If you like custom roms go development section, download a rom then go cwm do all wipes and flash it
ok I'll read up on the wipes, maybe that's for a later upgrade

ok.

No precautions needed while going from gb to ics via Odin.. You will lose root.. (never wipe/factory reset from stock ics kernel or you will end up with a brick
For the custom roms.. Just be sure you are in a safe kernel (speedmod /notecore) before wiping because as I said before.. You will end up with a brick if you wipe from stock ics kernel
You can wipe and flash any custom rom from gingerbread because gingerbread kernels are safe to do so.. As notecore and speedmod are

ok thanks.
to abuse your generous helping disposition further, how can I tell exactly which kernel I have installed? and is there any benefit to flashing speedmod before upgrading to ics via odin?
and does the odin upgrade to ics leave apps and settings intact?
again, thank you.

If you are on gingerbread the kernel version does not matter.. To check it just go settings>about>kernel version
Speedmod its an ics kernel.. So you gotta be on ics to be able to use it... But if you are rooted in gingerbread and you want a custom rom you can use cwm recovery and flash the custom rom straight... Custom roms includes safe kernels.. So you will be safe..
I really encourage you to stay away from stock ics kernel.. And yeah flashing ics via Odin on top of your gingerbread will keep your apps

getting closer, bear with me. I am desperately trying to find out what kernel I am currently running. I have opened another thread just for that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856345
then, all the info I need to act on your advice is- can I keep that very kernel and just flash ICS (i will go with your recommendation to select a custom one) via cvm recovery? i.e. from a rooted 2.3.6. SGN on N7000XXKK9-CL725676 [email protected]#2 (readout from the settings page)
I am obstinate at following up, sorry, but thats because the instructions come pretty casually to the novice, yet the warnings on not ommitting crucial steps abound.

Yes you can flash any custom rom ics(or whatever) from your kernel.. The new rom will flash in the process its own kernel.. You have a rooted kernel wich might have cwm.. Download the desired rom to your sd, backup all your photos /videos/documents to your pc... I encourage you to do a fresh install of your apps to avoid further issues when restoring them..
Then press volume up+power+home buttons until you get to the n7000 screen then release to boot up to cwm, once there wipe data and cache then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache... Then go back install zip from sd card and flash the rom you downloaded and reboot... That's it

I have chosen RocketROM v10 - ICS - 4.0.4 - XXLRK for this update (more or less randomly, but it is getting good reviews). In the instructions, it is mentioned that coming from a rooted GB-rom, i should install
abyss kernel 4.2. first, then do a FULL wipe (does that include the dalvik thing too?)
I mention this because these are steps not explicitly included in your last instructions, just trying to connect the last dots. If you confirm that process, I am going ahead!;

Do not flash abyss go straight from your current kernel
Coming from gb flashing abyss its an extra an unnecessary step that might gets you into troubles
Tho I gotta ask you if you know
What cwm is and if you have checked that in fact your kernel has cwm

yes, it even shows up on my apps list
THAT much I do remember from my first venture into messing with the note!
thanks for worrying though;
btw I now hear the stock ics is even leaner and as configurable (with tb) as the rocket rom I downloaded
would the flashing process for the stock ics (DL from the samsung site?) be exactly the same as for custom roms?
thanks!

Nop.. It's not the same.. I'd say it's even easier but risky.. As if something goes wrong while flashing it you will end up with a brick..
If you do like stock feel less bloated with a decent performance and battery life.... Go for the cleanote rom.. HERE

ok I downloaded that one. Just to be sure, it says:
"Installation:
1.Install from any rooted ROM with a safe kernel (notecore, speedmod, franco, CF). Installation script will automatically wipe /Cache and Dalvik cache for you. You can format /Data as well if you want a completely clean stock rom install with full root and performance enhancements.
Install the usual way though CWM
OR
2.If you are on a stock rom, follow the following instructions
Flash stock ICS rom in PC odin
boot phone
reboot to download mode
flash Notecore kernel in PC odin
reboot phone
copy rom ZIP to sd card
reboot to CWM
perform a factory reset (format /data / cache)
install rom ZIP"
Do I fall under the first group (rooted rom with safe kernel)? because my rom itself is still stock
just making sure
thx

You are on gb that's a safe kernel so.. You fall in the first group and you can follow my instructions or those.

Before flashing the rom get the latest ics baseband (radios) here get the cwm flashable.. So first you flash the rom then before reboot flash the radio then reboot
If you already flashed the rom.. Download the radio to your sd, reboot to cwm then flash it.. No need to wipe anything for flashing the radio

wiping data presents no risk? all my data is backuped btw
after flashing rom (didnt yet), do i flash radio directly or power off/back to recovery mode first?

From safe kernels wiping data its safe.. It will only delete your apps/system apps and it's data to avoid further issues with battery...
You can flash the radio after flashing the rom and before rebooting..
If you reboot into android without flashing the radio you gotta go back to cwm to do so.. Just the same way you flashed the rom but not wiping anything
Now go ahead and flash lol.. Want to see you happy with your note rocking ics already xD

ok ok just one LAST question;
instructions say the install routine performs the cache and dalvik wipes automatically.
that means I just do "install zip from sd card" right away, correct?
chronologically, where does the "wipe data/factory reset" which you recommend come in? before or after that?
it's coming, it's coming...;

rom and radio installed, all wiped, oh what was that last tip you alluded to? ;
I am looking for an eMMC safe ROM. I just bought a GT-N7000, I had the i717 before this one. I've been baffled at trying to find information on what is safe to flash, how to flash it, and what isn't safe to flash. I am currently running CM10, but I'm having issues with the GPS, etc, not to mention I would love to use the S-Pen again. Is there a thread that gives all of the information about what I can/can't flash and not brick my phone? I've searched, but everything I've found doesn't say anything about the eMMC bug.
I apologize in advance if this is something that's common knowledge, it's just that I am new to the GT-N7000.
Thanks,
Rob

So, let me get this straight. You would flash the kernel and ROM through ODIN?
Thanks,
Rob
Kernels are flashed through ODIN or CWM, ROMs are flashed through CWM (or ODIN if its stock firmware)
Anyway, Your on CM10 now, So your obviously rooted with CWM too, So just simply download a safe kernel (I HIGHLY recommend HydaCore cuz' its awesome ) then download ROM of your choice.
2 ROMs I would recommend to try (this is completely down to my likings) are:
CleaNote (Made by same awesome dev as HydraCore kernel) Completely stock ROM but with all the crap removed - Design for Stock look and feel, But super stable and fast !
RocketMIUI - Made by an awesome dev who also makes RocketROM - This is MIUI ROM, Highly customisable, great theming and tweaks packed full of cool goodies and apps, But also keeps the S-Pen features and apps (such as SNote , SMemo etc etc) Also, Battery life is fantastic (Im getting just short of 2 full days ! )
Once you've chosen your ROM + Kernel, Place them on your SD card, Boot into recovery, flash the safe kernel, Go to advanced menu and select reboot recovery.
Now, Do a full factory reset, along with cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) then go to 'Install zip from sd card' then 'Choose zip from sd card' Then select your ROM
Leave the phone to do its magic and once completed, select 'reboot now' and enjoy
** First boot can take upto 10 mins - dont panic if you think its not booting, Just give it time. Also, DONT forget to do a backup before doing any of this, Either a full Nandroid backup and/or a titanium backup **
Best of luck :good:
excellent explanation

So, just to be sure of what I'm doing here. Let's say I flash Cleanote, if I wanted to go back to CWM so long as I have a safe kernel installed I shouldn't have to worry about an eMMC brick, correct?
Thanks Again,
Rob
CWM is recovery, You will have it for as long as you use custom roms.
The brickbug only exists in stock ics kernels, so as long as you avoid using them you will be fine, plus, once you try hydracore you wont use anything else and hydracore is 110% safe so always use it when performing full wipes ect :good:
Sorry to steel your thread but my doubt is i rooted my note using supersu in zip format from recovery, now what i know is i dont have a CWM installed, so should i install it to flash a safe kernel or can i do it from the recovery mode?

I think it was the Galaxy S3 that I had that the kernel had CWM built into it. That's why I was thinking when you changed the kernel you had CWM installed too. So the note has a separate recovery partition?
Thanks Again,
Rob
PS: I really appreciate the help. It's frustrating for someone who hasn't had the international note during the eMMC era to flash things. Bricking this phone would break my heart, lol.

i guess that s3 also had a custom kernels cuz the stock kernel will never have CWM as its a custom recovery.
when u change to a custom kernel, it will mostly have CWM builtin

its mainly for flashing custom ROMs and do advanced tasks as the stock recovery dont offer such facilities.
more over ICS kernel is not safe even to do a factory reset. so if ever ur becomes slow and u want to do a factory reset u risk ur phone.
so better install a safe kernel and all safe kernel comes with clockworkmod recovery and its safe to do a reset
I guess safe to reset is related to kernel not to CWM? Why do we actually need to replace our recovery?

As far as I remember, there r 2 EMMC erase things..one related to the kernel & other one related to the recovery..below text is from one of Ketan's post here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894293&page=5

New safe kernel on the way
I have tested kernel. This kernel won't universal for all but just like Cf kernel. It will be according ROM. B'coz here there is no other modification from stock kernel but just made it safe by removing mmc_erase_cap command.
This is stock kernel but binary patched with MMC_CAP_ERASE removed from both recovery as well kernel
Best thing is you can flash with stock recovery and also gives root.
So anyone want to test let me know."
Hi, I installed the Call_rec_Galaxy_note.zip in CWM found here, and now JellyBam won't boot. I'm able to see the Samsung logo and access CWM, but cannot boot. I tried wipe/factory reset but it's still the same problem. How should I proceed?
Always always keep a nandriod backup before flasing anything using cwm
Eek... I know now How do I repair it so I can boot again?

Thanks for your help guys. If I am to go to another rom (such as this), is it ok just to do the following:
Load *.zip on your SD/EXT Card
Restart in CWM
Be sure you’re on SAFE KERNEL, then you can wipe
Full wipe /data/factory reset /cache and dalvik
Format /data /system and /preload
Flash the ROM
Wait some minute until your phone boot!
Does the fact it is XXLSC matter? My kernel version is XXLRK... thought I'd better ask!
If you are indeed on stock lrk kernel now - you better Flash the LRK version of Philz kernel before doing anything. You are not on a safe kernel. You should not do factory resets in your current kernel. You will brick your device eventually.

Sent from my GT-N7000000000 using Tapastalker 2
I have flashed the LRK version of Philz already, but I think the JellyBam installer installed the latest CM10/AOKP Kernel? Can I install the above rom, even though it installs Philz XXLSC kernel over a XXLRK? Forgive me for asking nooby questions... I'm just fearful of bricking
Yes because cm10 kernel has secure erase suppressed and is thus 100% safe.

Sorry, just read your comments...
From stock I installed the LRK version of Philz, but not sure what JellyBam installed... I'm not too sure of what LRK kernels etc are :silly:
If you are on jellybam kernel (cm10) OR philz you are safe (at least from brick bug)

Haha, I'm never safe So can I go ahead and install this rom as it said? Does it not matter that I was on XXLRK and this says XXLSC? Sorry for the questions, I'd just rather be safe(r) than sorry
OMg! So much of confusion. What rom are you on now? When you go onto recovery, what do you see? Cwm-philz.?
Do you have the new rom download into the phone storage?
I'm on JellyBam. When I go into Recovery, it says CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.9. I'm so sorry to have confused you! I haven't finished downloading the new rom. I know that what I am on (should) be safe from the EMMC brick, but I just don't know what the kernel version means. When I rooted my phone from stock, I installed PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-3.71-signed, as my stock kernel was XXLRK. What I don't know is whether the fact I was previously on XXLRK matters anymore when choosing other kernels/roms. Sorry again to be so troublesome.
Essentially, the whole confusion stems from not knowing what XXLRK or XXLSC refer to? I know when I went from stock to PhilZ, I had to make sure I got the correct version for my device, so I dont know whether I can now go to XXLSC.
So now you on philz kernel xxlxx.
JellyBAM won't boot on that kernel but it's safe. Download the rom and put in phone storage and do wipes and formats (system, data, cache, preload) and then flash the new rom. New rom will come with its own kernel (philz)
I've just looked into it, and JellyBam states that it features "Latest CM10/AOKP Kernel compiled from sources"... would I be best flashing Philz that I installed previously just to be safe? I think my recent bricking has made me too cautious haha
You can flash it using the cm10 kernel as well or philz too. Any will do the job well
Thank you so much for tolerating me Would you be able to explain what the XXLRK/XXLSC means?
Hi,
I was redirected to this part of the forum. A friend of mine rooted my samsung mobile Galaxy S I9000 with a android 2.2 version. I cannot contact him anymore to help me with the update and I am really a newbie in this rooting world. So, I am coming on this forum to have some advice. I read information on rooting your device, in which everything is explained very well, but could not find information on how to update once a device was rooted (probably I did not search in the right place). What I did so far is:
1) Taking backup of my pics (by manually drag and drop the folder on my pc), SMS and call logs (with sms backup + app), syncronized my contacts with gmail so that I can recover them later on and backup the music folder. I installed backup Titanium to back up my apps on my SD card.
But now, I am stuck with some questions (could you guide me where to find the information?):
1) Which most recent version of Android is supported on the device I have? Which version will work best?
2) Is there important information that I forgot to back up? + I have a problem with the backup Titanium app. It could reach my root in the beginning, but then the Superuser app updated the binary and from then on my titanium app got stuck when getting access to the root. Any idea how to solve this? Install an older version of the bin.file? How to do that exactly? thanks! => I could fix this problem by installing an older version of superuser in CW recovery. If others have problems with this issue, I can provide help from now on
3) Is there a guide with step by step procedure on which files I have to download on my pc and which procedure to follow? Or could you advice me some useful links?
thanks!
1) there is android 4.2.2 available for this amazing device
2) you propably forgot to backup efs folder
3)
- 1) follow this guide to get android 2.3.6 to your device: http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
- 2) follow this guide to get android 4.2.2 (cm 10.1) to your device after: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
- 3) now you can flash most of the roms you find in i9000 android development forum. i personally use slimrom
copy /efs! backup ur imei n md5 in efs first! copy da whole efs file! or do nandroid backup.
READ N FOLLOW CAREFULLY here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
considering u already done flashing Sammy n CF
prepare for ROM & kernel(optional) hunt! go to dev section and choose which JB u wanted.download it together with cm9.1.0 n copy to root of internal sd.
n make sure to flash cm9.1.0 stable from cyanogenmod website (galaxymtd) first from 2.3.6, first flash will bootloop, go back to recovery with 3 combo button. flash again n dont leave recovery.
after done flashing twice (if flash ended too quick, then flash again). direct flash 4.1/4.2 chosen rom, twice (first flash will come up with error, juz ignore it flash again (bootloop) recovery again n flash again

I followed the guide you mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2149455
in which they install that JVU ROM... then they say at the end that you have to unmount SD card (but that option was gray in my case) and wipe the USB storage and then reboot in recovery and do those 4 wipes, what I did, and then he mentioned that you could install your custom ROM, so I put the version of slimrom 4.2.2 on my sd card and launched it for installation.
However, the procedure started, but after a few seconds already my phone rebooted and now it is stuck at the logo of Semaphore...
What did I wrong? And what should I do?

Should I shut down my phone and try to put it in download mode again to put the JVU rom on it again via odin? is that the best strategy? Or should I do something else? and if that would work, what is then the best procedure to avoid such situations again?
nope, u did rite, but also wrong, ok, read carefully here....
flashing for upgrade is easy if u follow carefully, when in GB, after flashing CF ROOT, flashing to 4.0 (cm9) first (take da zip from cyanogenmod website) but luckily ur on 2.3.6 JVU (if u follow da link i gave), so it will be safe (safe procedure will be GB-ICS-JB), first flash will bootloop, second flash (sometimes) will occur error n third flash will succeed, which means u hav to flash twice or thrice or maybe 4 times! if its bootloop, go to recovery back by 3 button combo (its da matter of when u release da combo button, release it rite after u see da first white bootsplash)
bootloop cause by changing da partition tp ext4, its common
but if u already try to reach recovery n failed most times, u need to flash back firmware n cf root.

Ok, thanks!!!! this worked!!! I justed flashed cm9 and it works. So, if I understand well now, I can just return in recovery mode and install from zip from sd card to cm10 and then for instance to slimrom? Or between 'two' flashes, I need to follow the last part of the procedure in the link you gave me? So:
"Now, what I do now is go into :
Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage
Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone
Window should open up showing your phone Directory..
Copy over your ROM that you want
Shut Down Phone
Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)
Data / Factory Reset
Cache Partition
Go to Advanced > OK
Dalvik Cache
Battery Stats
Go Back > OK
To move Up or Down > Use the Left Side Volume Rocker Switches with Menu to OK Action
Install your Custom ROM from Zip Card that you want..."
OR: can I just go to recovery mode and do install from zip without doing that procedure with "wipe" etc?
Just to know, as I am just a newbie in these things!!! But I want to thank you once again for the clear explanations and the good help!!!!
juz flash mate , its easy, da important thing is to follow da sequence, thats all, juz flash, wiping cache or resetting juz for changing ROM. not upgrading
juz FLASH it
GB-ICS (twice)(do not leave recovery after second flash)-(any custom JB ROM u choose(twice or thrice))(make sure u already put da zip file in internalsd). dont need any wiping.
but FLASH AT UR OWN RISK,remember that.
n yes, recovery need hardbutton except TWRP recovery.

Thanks!!!! Just one small question. I just flashed CM10 in recovery mode and first flash gave error, second went well. Then while still being in recovery mode I directly flashed slimrom and that went well from the first time. Do you always flash a second time to make sure that things went well or this is ok then?

as i already said, flash more than 2 times when upgrading, juz upgrading process. GB-ICS-JB (CM7-CM9-CM10/10.1) is upgrading process.
changing ROM not necessarily need double flashing, but u can do it if ur not satisfy whether da ROM already flashed or not

ok, thanks!!! no, everything is working fine with this slimrom, except for google play that does not seem to open once I install it. It opens and closes directly... but I guess there are persons that had the same problem. will have to check the forum for a solution

Hmmm, is probably because I get this error when starting slimrom: invalid IMEI number...I flashed it a second time, but it gave me the same error...
Which gapps have you flashed? Slimbean needs a special package, you find it under slimroms.net.

I will have a look there for that google play problem.
More problematic is that problem of IMEI. When I flashed from CM 9 to CM10 I did not do that wipe of cache and data as suggested above (the reply came later on), and then I flashed slimrom. That I forgot to wipe between CM9 and CM10, can that be the cause of wrong IMEI now? Is the solution now, to wipe cache and data, to flash again CM 10 and to flash then slimrom again?
Or should I just leave everything like that and do a recovery of my efs folder? If yes, any link for this?
Hello, i recently tried to flash the C-Rom on my gt n7000, but i keep getting the tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7) error, now my phone is stuck in bootloop. i read that i need to flash a stock rom but my charging port has been damaged as such i cant connect the phone to my computer to use Odin.

You came so far, its to late to turn back...
If only you had read the instructions...
Then you would know...
That you need a more recent version of your recovery...
Which is part of a kernel...
So flash raw kernel...
And then flash C-Rom...

To Flash ANY/ALL KK Based Roms (4.4+) you need base recovery 0f 6.0.4.4+. Can you still reboot to recovery? What rom vers are you previously on? Rooted? What recovery? If your charging port has been damaged, how are you gonna charge your phone? Get it repaired ASAP before doing anything else. Loss of battery during Rom flashing can make your phone a nice desk decoration.

Do you still remember your Stock Rom's Build number? If yes, then you can try downloading philz safe kernel with recovery that is compatible with your build number, flash it in cwm recovery, then reboot to RECOVERY, from there do a factory reset wipe, all formats (system, data, cache, preload) wipe dalvik cache (If you don't understand any of the terms I mentioned above, please go to philz page and read) and Flash a TW BASED custom rom first (you can find and download any rom as long as it's TW based). See if that boots.
Ultimately you WILL need that charging/USB Port fixed so please make that a TOP Priority

@annie22 you could also download any JB kernel (if you were on JB) of philz and flash it in recovery, reboot recovery, then flash Raw kernel r4 or r5 and reboot recovery and from there flash C-Rom or any other KK rom. You can use any philz kernel irrespective of the build number as long as you are using it only to flash another kernel and then rom of your choice. Make sure to download the .zip version of the philz kernel and put that and raw kernel and rom on external sd card. Keep back up of these kernels and roms on pc as well so that you can connect memory card to pc and transfer those files back to card, as it so happened that i while doing full wipe on philz kernel it also wiped my external card.
