But needs root also, so I will root first , but before that I want to take a backup from my stock rom without root , and when I went to my phone ClockworkMod recovery I did not find the Backup and restore option,! may be only after the rooting?

you cant, you would need to download the original firmware to flash it to stock, you might try one of the backup tool in the market but a full nandroid backup you cant do unless rooted

Ok I have a root now ,
when I rebooted my note to recovery I get this : Android system recovery <3e>
It looks like CWM but has no backup and restore options and thats why Iam confused
How I can get the CWM I used to use with my HTC Sensation

It looks like you only did root when what you wanted was root + CWM.
Go back to Dr.Ketan's guide and look at the procedure below this line that is in the first post:
-----------------------------------------Forget all Above and follow simple Step below------------------------------
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My summary of your best options:
Follow from Step 2 and use the already-rooted.bat file
OR
The better (in my opinion) way:
Purchase Mobile Odin Pro(MOP) from the market and go get the CF Root Kernel that matches your firmware to get CWM. Just put the Kernel on your sdcard and run MOP, make sure EverRoot and all injections are checked, select file, find kernel, flash. Done.
MOP has also enabled us to retain root when flashing stock firmware updates by using the EverRoot and injections options, however you will lose most CWM functions when this is done. To regain CWM, you simply follow the same steps as above to update to a matching CF Root Kernel.
Have fun, and be sure to hit the thanks button for Ketan and Chainfire!

Dear beestee,
So: I have Kernel KK2 - Download This - and Extract
then : I am Already Rooted - Execute "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions
is there any side effects ? like format ot can not Upgrade via OTA or else?
Is there any thing need to be packed up first? like the original kernel if this method will change it

Nothin side effect, you can upgrade over OTA, BUT If you update over OTA/kies, you will lose Root.
So you have to use CWM or Mobile odin to update newer ROM

Ok I done it and it working, but I found that CWM is a program now you can access from phone not like in HTC where you must inter bootloader and MAGLDR to inter CWM
I can make the backup and restore from inside the program - right?

You can get it with entering recovery too, you have to press Home + Vol UP + Power to enter in recovery mode.
you can simply do it with inside app - restart in recovery
when you give command to backup, it will restart and auto enter in recovery mode and finish it

How I can go back to original state just in case of warranty or else?

[Q] To LP1 or Not?

Hi XDA,
I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance. I've already flashed to LA4 using Mobile Odin and I'm keen to try LP1 but my mind is not as flexible as it used to be and I end up getting myself into a state about what the best thing to do next is.
Basically, my phone is rooted (although I haven't managed to get CWM installed yet because ROM Manager has been updated to support the N7000 if I'm right). I've downloaded the LP1 as a zip file. It looks to me as though Mobile Odin can see all of the components within it when I navigate to the file.
I've done a full TB to dropbox...
And that's where I tend to have a panic attack.
If I flash through Mobile Odin will I still have root? How can I ensure I get CWM flashed too? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?
I come from the original Galaxy S and frequently flashed various ROMs on that but for some reason I seem to have forgotten most of the things I needed to bear in mind.
Dr. Ketan's guide is great but again the words start blur in front of my eyes and I read of people not being able to get root access back on their phones. I'm right in saying that Mobile Odin will inject root automatically when I flash the new ROM?
My excuse is my baby daughter who ensures that I only get a fwe hours sleep each night
Many thanks for any rational help and advice you guys might be able to donate.

You are rooted LA4, n having backup data with TB, you want to move to ICS LP1 isn't?
You need to steal just 15 min from your lovely daughter

- extract, keep your firewall, antivirus off, install kies on PC, check unknown sources n usb debugging on device
- execute I m already rooted
- connect device
- if successfull , you will get CWM in few seconds
- place LP1 file on SD card
- Hard reset device (in recovery, wipe cache, wipe data)
- Rebbot, open CWM
- select flash Zip, point to your downloaded LP1 file
- Flash
You will get LP1 now, if bootloop, repeat wipe cache, wipe data again
then finally restore backup with TB

Hi Dr. K,
thanks for that but I made a mistake I actually meant LB1 not the new ICS rom (I'm prepared to wait for a full stock ICS).
Does that change anything?
Many thanks.

then you can go with Mobile odin. that you are having already.
- unzip your ROM file to .tar.md5, n place on SD card
- Open mobile Odin - select open file - point to your ROM .tar file
- enable (check) everroot option, including sub option
- Flash

Done, done and done! Thanks Dr. K. I'm now running on the 'snappier' LB1. Just one final question. How can I get CWM flashed (or is there already?). I just wish Chainfire would update ROM Manager for the N7000 (it's the only reason I keep going into the Market to check my apps and see if I can get CWMTouch).
Many thanks once again for the nice'n'clear directions. I appreciate that you probably get asked the same thing many times every day!

Just fillow first few steps of post #2 which i shown you. Follow till u get CWM

N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number

When I hold the power button, I don't see any 'Recovery' option (The only options are 'Silent mode', 'Data network mode', 'Flight mode', 'Power off' and 'Restart'). What am I missing/doing wrong..?
Many thanks to anyone who can help.
PS. Apologies for posting this in the Q&A section. I'm relatively new so can't yet make a post in the relevant development thread.

only custom ROM users get the APM (advanced power menu)
you will have to do it manually, Power off the phone and hold volume UP + Home + Power all at once
let go when you see the GT-N7000 screen

Thankyou VERY much. I did it, but haven't tried the rooting procedure yet. In the recovery menu, I saw a message about CSC being successfully applied. What does this mean...?

not sure what CSC stands for but it happens to us all, Dont worry about it, Its a good thing that it was applied successfully

Csc is country sales code. And yes as azzledazzle said, its normal to see that message.

All went well (or so I thought) but I have 2 problems:-
I don't think I'm properly or fully rooted. After following the above steps, I installed Mobile Odin Pro (v2.45) and attempted to flash CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip. I extracted the tar file, placed it on the external SD card and ran it using Mobile Odin Pro. However, upon rebooting, I see that my baseband, kernel version, build no. etc. are still showing exactly the same info in the 'About phone' section under Settings, ie.
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband Version
N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number
IML74K.XXLQ2
Is this normal or have I missed an important step? I saw on another thread that perhaps I should have extracted both the tar and zimage files from the CFRoot zip, and then flashed? If so, could someone kindly tell me exactly what to do. For info, SU seems to have installed ok and has granted the necessary permissions to CWM and Mobile Odin Pro as root apps but I can't get into or use either app. What am I missing or doing wrong?
After rebooting, I can no longer use Mobile Odin Pro so cannot attempt a proper flash of whatever kernel I should be using. I can mostly now not get past the 'Loading...Checking SuperUser support...' splash screen. During this period, I see a pop-up which confirms the app has been 'granted SuperUser permissions for an interactive shell'; this pop-up usually appears several times during this loading period. Very occassionally, it gets past the Loading screen but then stays for an equally lengthy time at the next 'Loading...Detecting device model...' screen. If it gets past that, it then fails to detect any device model so I cannot use the app. What am I doing wrong? I've tried rebooting several times - no joy. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app - again, no joy.
If anyone can help me out of my rooting misery, I'd be really grateful.
One more thing - I'm not completely clear how I revert to/reinstall a stock ICS ROM once I am properly rooted or from where the phone is now? Can someone please just clarify this for me.
Apologies for the long post - just wanted to give as much information as possible.
Many thanks to all who can help

im not so sure but when you installed cwm and buzybox you did so to flash a custom rom
if you flash a custom rom you will keep the phone root and so on (supersu ecc...)
else you loose partially the root and you need to reflash the apps you lost on rebbot
so choose good cutom ics and go for it
you might try cssie xlite....180 mega
or Rocket Rom 7 700 mg
both work well
p.s. never full wipe or factory reset on ics cfroot kernell....
just do t with abyss kernel 4.2 if you need it and read about eemmmc bug crack
p.s.2 look for drkeatan posts and chasmodo....they made good walkthrough pro

Thanks for the reply. I only rooted in order to use certain root apps (Root Explorer, Titanium Backup etc) and was under the impression that the CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip was basically a slightly modified stock ICS ROM with CWM included..?

The way I've always rooted is to run the adb script on a gb from, can be found in dr K's post. You need to be rooted before you can flash cwm kernel, 2 separate processes (although combined in some scripts.
There is also a thread somewhere with pre-rooted stock roms, so you could flash one of those as normal with PC Odin and then flash cwm kernel. Might be easier.

Need someone to point me to the right direction.

Hello everyone,
I am new here, and I need someone to point me to the right direction before I start to do anything crazy to my phone.
Here is my current phone info:
Android version
2.3.6
Baseband version
N7000XXLA4
Kernel version
[email protected]#2
Build number
GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
So my ultimate goal is to install Speed Mod Kernel and Stock ICS ROM on my phone but I am not really sure where to start. I really don't want to brick my device since I just got my phone 10 mins ago.
Thank you very much!

You can upgrade to Stock ICS via OTA. Go to Settings> About Phone> Software Update> Update. Or you can upgrade to ICS via Kies.
To flash the SpeedMod kernel you will first need to root your device. Use this guide by Dr.ketan to root your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Download the SpeedMod kernel** from here
http://touristinparadise.blogspot.co...-download.html
Download the kernel to your SD card (internal or external)
Now since you're rooted, download Mobile Odin, run it, grant access through Superuser and go to the kernel section inside Mobile Odin pro and look for the kernel that you earlier saved from the download.
After that, just tap on flash firmware (inside Mobile Odin still) and that would restart your phone and once booted, you now have a new kernel.

Thank you dr,ketan but why is it good to wipe cache and data from GB Rom before moving on? Is it going to make the device run faster or what?

It makes system clean
If any leftover remains, you won't get performance on ics.

As for flashing the speedmod kernel, u can either choose the ODIN way or flash it through CWM . Follow dr.Ketan's way of installing and youll be done in a jiffy
Else were here to help
Cheers!

An ultra squicky clean way would be to format all in mount section, that way you are sure to have a full clean phone. Losing all data and all possible lingering crap that could somehow interfere. Your phone wont reboot, but recovery still works as well as download mode. Which means you must have proper backup for pictures and such. Just dont restore by accident other crappy stuff. Again all this from a safe kernel booted recovery.
Warning: take out external sd card as you can also wipe that, and some instances of cwm have what appears to be sd swapped with external sd, been there done that, lost my backups many times rendering my phone useless, until I put a cwm flashable rom back on external and flashed it. Lost precious pictures to, stored in dcim on sd card.
Warning 2 if you loose imei/productcode/other efs stuff, with the backup you can get that back. Rare when it happens, but it happens, and had it multiple times.
Warning 3 if you ever use a kernel cleaning script, do not perform on unsafe kernel. And do not reboot recovery without flashing new kernel first, haven't made that mistake yet of rebooting without a kernel, but I don't think anything can safe your phone then.

Okay, by the looks of it I have the same phone as the original poster's. Your advice to update to ICS OTA or via Kies? Mine won't update. Kies says I have the latest ROM and so does the OTA update check. What am I doing wrong?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy note - it wont get passed boot up screen

I am struggling with my Samsung Galaxy Note. My phone over night switched it self off. It wouldnt come back on. I took the battery out and then the sim card. When booting up - I got passed the initial screen of the phone - it went to the samsung logo - now has continued to go back to that screen. I followed advice I have seen on here and pressed the 'on' button, the 'home' button and the 'volume up button'.
It has taken to me to 'Android system recovery' screen. It now has given me 6 options:-
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- apply update from external storage
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- apply update form cache
This is all in blue. Below this in yellow it has:-
#MANUAL MODE#
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Below this in red it has:-
Various error messages - too many to list
I have read the threads in this forum. I am slightly lost at what I have to do now. I have gone onto the Dr Ketan's link - which has refered me to SamMobile website. I am now downloading some firmware from there that is saying it is going to take 2 hours.
I am not sure what this is and what I have to do with it?!?! Am I doing the right thing?
My phone is not backed up and I do need all the data from it. I am not a techi - so I am really not sure what I am doing??
Can anyone help this non techi get his phone working again!!!???

Chief, which ROM were you on when this happened? Was it stock Sammy or some custom rom mod?
Data can be salvaged but dependant on many factors...
Pls tell me if u r rooted and on a custom ROM ATM

Hi there - thanks for the reply. I am not sure how to check what ROM I am on - or even what that is? I bought the phone with contract and have not added anything custom to it.
What is rooted?
Sorry if I sound basic - however, I am not a techi....
Any help would be appreciated

Okay, that means you are on stock Sammy ROM. And as you spoke about a contract, is it the international version n7000 or carrier locked version?
Its moot to know if your phone is the international version note GT n7000 ?

I have read the threads in this forum. I am slightly lost at what I have to do now. I have gone onto the Dr Ketan's link - which has refered me to SamMobile website. I am now downloading some firmware from there that is saying it is going to take 2 hours.
I am not sure what this is and what I have to do with it?!?! Am I doing the right thing?
My phone is not backed up and I do need all the data from it. I am not a techi - so I am really not sure what I am doing??
Can anyone help this non techi get his phone working again!!!???

You're downloading a new ROM (system). This will wipe all Your phone's data (will leave all the internal and external sdcard files, only apps and their data will be gone). However before flashing it (using ODIN) try to wipe data in the recovery ("Android system recovery", blue text). It will do the same leaving Your current OS. If it doesn't help, flash new ROM (which You have downloaded from sammobile)- use ODIN (find some tutorial for it, if You don't know how to use it). This should help, if it doesn't, the battery may be broken (my friend had such a problem related with battery).
PS. How old is Your battery?

Hi - thanks for the reply. My battery is fairly new. Is there anyway of not losing the data?

There is a way if it works...
You can try the following:
1. Use Odin to flash a custom recovery- learn from this link here, you will have to do a fair bit of reading though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
2. Reboot into recovery by using the button combo- Vol Up+Menu+Power
3. Scroll to Backup/Restore
4. Back-up your current Rom to ext SD/internal SD card- I prefer internal sd card
5. Now, after the ROM has been successfully backed-up, the backup will contain a snap shot of your current system with all messages, call logs, contact details, account, etc.
6. Go ahead and flash the new stock Rom that you are downloading at the moment.
7. Refer to point 1 to Root it and install a custom Kernel
8. Now reboot the system and install an app from Playstore called nandroid manager. This will help you extract your personal data from the backed up Rom that we did at point 4/5 above.
9. Once installed, open nandroid manager and you should see your backed up rom under backup tab
10. Click on the backup and it will open a new window where you will get an option to restore data (top left)- click on it
11. From this window, you can restore your call logs and messages, apps and other stuff. Please note that its always advisable to reinstall your apps using the playstore because restoration of app+data sometimes messes up the system.
12. Please note that as you have installed a custom kernel and rooted the device, your warranty stands void. Please understand the implications.
Also, if you do not understand the steps involved as mentioned above, please desist and take your phone to the local authorized service station.
There are alternate ways to try recover data, but the I have stuck to the above method and it has worked fine for me in such cases.
Give it a try, who knows a couple of hours of investment will get you a working phone!!! Best of luck!

Hi thanks for this!! On point 3 - there is no option of back-up/restore??

Please refer to point 1, you will need to flash a custom-recovery and kernel to be able to backup your current rom. This can be done via Odin.
I have provided 2 links (Dr. Ketan's guides) from where you can get a step by step guide, please do read it before you go ahead.
