Hi, Guys!
Yesterday i bought a SH Galaxy Note, in a minty condition.
Like my S3, i want to put a modern Custom ROM, on it, and install CWM Recovery, but i find hard to gather all the informations. I was searching the internet, and i found that the Galaxy Note, is very vulnerable to soft/hard bricks.
Help me install CWM Recovery Touch and a Jelly Bean based Custom ROM. I don't want to brick my new Note, especially that i don't have a USB JIG.
Please recommend me a good Custom ROM (yes... i know there isn't a "PERFECT" ROM, but i am new to Note, and searching for a ROM, that is like FoxHound 1.4 on Galaxy S III.)
Thanks button to every one that can help me!
Cheers!

What's a SH Galaxy Note?
Post a screenshot of Settings/About phone here first, you don't want to brick in your first attempt to flash something that is not meant for your device.
Also, do not post questions in General forum in future. Q&A forum was created exclusively for that purpose.
Sorry for that... maybe a moderator could help me? Please?
SH = second hand, it's not new.
Android Version = 4.0.4
Baseband = N7000XXLRB
Build Nr. =IMM76D.XXLRI
Kernel Version = 3.0.15 - N7000XXLRI-CL811902/[email protected]#3
Download xxlri philz kernel and install it from stock recovery. It will root you device and install cwm and is a safe kernel. Then you are good to try all other new roms.
Try paranoid android or black cna or rocket rom or sweetrom v1

Hi!
Thank you for the help, but i have a problem.
My stock recovery, doesn't have the function to install from phone SD, and for my shame... i don't have any MicroSD cards in my house.
Is there any way to install that thing without bricking the phone?
you can also flash it using pc Odin. but that will give you a yellow triangle and increase the counter. later you can use triangle away app to reset it
Ok... no problem if Triangle Away can reset the counter for N7000. But is there any risk when using Triangle Away?
Why does my recovery have so less functions?
That's android recovery 3e. its not you.
There,s always a risk in everything you do. even flashing roms. Triangle away has been used by loads or people.

Install a safe kernel if your phone is running on ics. ICS is dangerous that can brick your device if you done any small mistake.
For triangle away, just download it and run. Follow the instructions and it will be reset.
I got mine reset
ONLY TRIANGLE IT WHEN YOU ARE ROOTED. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU USE IT ON UNROOTED PHONES.
rerunning the application will not brick your phone
Hit the thanks button if it works.

Ok, thanks very much guys, but right now i have another problem...
I used my phone until it dropped under 1%, and when i put it on the AC, it stayed about 5-8 sec, and showed a green battery with a yellow triangle near it, and it doesn't show signs of charging.
I didn't started flashing it... it's all stock. All i did, i used it until it auto-shutdown itself. What can i do?
remove the battery and put it back. charge for a while in off condition before you on
Never mind, it started charging after 10 minutes... Maybe it was too hot, or the voltage dropped down too much.
Tomorrow i'll start flashing the Kernel.

Remember to charge til at least 75% before flashing. You would not want your phone to be bricked right ?
Remember to hit the like button if works.
Ok, thanks again.
I flash it with Odin, right now. The CWM Recovery works great, but i can't see any root aplication.
I don't see SuperSU or SuperUser. Where can i download SuperSU for example? This kernel was supposed to root me too, right?
Sorry for double post, but i can't edit the last one...
What ROM should i choose? I mean, I'm still confused... i flashed that Kernel, recommended by @Nokiamodeln91, but what ROM should i choose? I want the phone to be more fluent, OC/UV possibilities, Galaxy Note specific apps included, and AROMA installer in the ROM.
What can you guys recommend me?
Thanks to everyone!

If u flash philz kernel as suggested by nokia, u shld be able to get cwmr + supersu installed.
And if u download the flashable zip, u can just flash it through stock recovery. No odin required.

Dont worry, you can use triangle away ( download from market or forum) to remove this yellow triangle or reset binary count to zero.
But to be safe please flash cf-root custom kernel before proceed further. Im not really sure wiith speedmod kernel able to use on triangle away apk or not.
To be safe, please give full detail which speedmod kernel you flashed? gb or ics? you now stick with what rom.
Its an indicator that you've flashed a custom kernel or firmware to the phone .
There are some links on how to remove it given in the galaxy note wiki in the guides / how to section at the bottom of the page linked below

I see, ok go chainfire rooted kernel section and download ics custom kernel which match with your LP9 firmware. Then flash it thru pc odin. ( yellow triangle will appear again and binary count increase to 2 ).
Download the "triangle Away" apk and install on your handset. Then, launcher the apk and make sure your model is N-7000 and proceed accordingly.
To be safe, please read all the instruction given at the OP.
Good luck.

Yup, is ok with the yellow triangle stay at your handset and binary count not zero as well. It totally doesn't affect the operation of your handset in terms of software and hardware.
But those 2 things will void your warranty. Is better reset the binary count to zero before anything happen.
@Hi Lee,
I tried CF-Root last night and end up causing my wifi to be down hence I do not dare to try it again. I just tried the Angelom 1.2 brick kernel hoping that it will reset my counter to 0 but end up now the yellow triangle is back.

Hi, are you new with flashing? If you did please read or ask before do anything especially play with the dangerous ics kernel.
ok make easy. Just follow the step im told you before. Our first priority is to remove the yellow triangle and reset the binary count. Dont thinking about the wifi drop issue.

After successful remove those 2 things and now we are talking about the revert back to speedmod k3-3 kernel by using mobile odin.
Hi Lee,
I am not really that new to flashing been do that to my old samsung galaxy s and I just bought this galaxy note 3 days ago. I have been reading up alot before doing the flashing. Apparently I am not the only experiencing the lost of wifi connection after flashing to CF-Root. Hmm I am quite fine with the yellow triangle (since its an indicator that I am using a custom kernel which I am) as long my phone can function normally because I will really like to try out speedmod kernel as its reviews has really been good in term of speed and saving battery life.
The triangle away apk will only work with CF Root? I read what chainfire post and its quite scary THIS IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION AND COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Your prediction was right. Speedmod kernel is the most stable and battery friendly kernel at the moment.
But to be safe just follow what the op stated in cf-root forum if you wish to remove those 2 things. Otherwise just enjoy the performance of the speedmod kernel and forgot about the binary count.
Hi Lee,
Thanks for your advice. Greatly appreciate it
I download the TriangleAwayv1.51.apk as a backup and for now
I think I will just enjoy the custom kernel for treat the yellow triangle invisible
till I want to trade in my phone again in about most probably 1-2 years time.
Can I check if it is a must to flash to CF-Root Kernel first before using triangleaway? Reason for me now not to use it now is mainly because there will be no point if after I use this application to remove it and then it comes back to me after I flash back to speedmod kernel again ~~ Kind of doing a repeat.

Ok Im try to make it simple. After remove those 2 things, you dont necessary to use pc odin to flash speedmod kernel again. You can flash speedmod kernel in cwm or mobile odin. Those cwm and mobile odin wont give you yellow triangle and binary counter getting increase.
1. Download mobile odin and install it.
2. extract speedmod kernel to Z-image.
3. Lauch mobile odin, under kernel section and choose the z-Image file.
4. Press flash button.
5. Done. wait for reboot.
Going on bed now. If you need anything, i will come back to you by tomorrow. Have a nice day.

Its ok, in that it won't affect the performance of the phone. HOWEVER Samsung use it for warrenty information. So if you need to return your phone within warranty for repair, if you have the triangle present or flash counter raised, then your warranty may be void.
Hence the advantage of using the triangle away method
Thanks Lee and Speedo.
You 2 have been a great help in easing my worries and that I can comfortably finish and win a LOL game
I will do that the first thing when I woke up in the morning.
Flash to CF-ROOT
Install TriangleAway apk
Remove the 2 nuisance away
Flashing to speedmod kernel again
Hope to let u guys know the good news later in the day.
Hi Lee and Speedo,
Thanks for your time and advice, the 2 nuisances are finally gone after flashing to CF-Root and use Triangleaway.apk. I am now using speedmod kernel and will be using only mobile odin and CWM in future to prevent the same thing from happening again.

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
---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------
here the link for jvu

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?

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

Put your phone in Odin mode volume down+power+home buttons all together
Once you get the warning press volume up to enter odin mode
Make sure kies its closed and connect your phone to the pc and wait until all the drivers gets installed
After that open odin and do not change any check box

The latest android now is ice cream sandwich(4.03&4.04). It has a bug, when you performed a factory reset, recovery data wipe, and nandroid( backup&restore ) it will corrupt your pit files and the result is they called superbrick, the only remedy is to replace your mobile board.
The only safe solution for it now is to flash safe custom kernel( the stock rom has a stock kernel inside) like speedmod k3-12, notecore v12, and goku to be safe from doing factory reset, recovery data wipe, and nandroid ( backup&restore ).

If your in stock rom there is less percentage of brick, but still your in danger. Before i dont believed just like you that stock rom is susceptible of being brick, then i read some brick there note on stock rom, i change my mind.

It might not sound right, and I understand you are new, but just like learning a new skill, rooting any Android device requires some amount of self-reading. People are helpful here but if you know the basics, you will be in a much better position to decide what's good for you and understand the instructions.
Android inherently treats all processes, including the touch interface, with the same priority. iOS treats the touch interface as a priority process, so Android might feel a tad laggy, but the benefits of using an Android device are way more than using iOS, which you can realize only after using the Note for around a month.
One of my friends switched to the Note from an iPhone, after using her iPhone since the first one, and she is enjoying the Note, as are many.
Criskelo's ROM is actually one of the fastest and most stable on this ROM, so it seems you have some unusual issue that's ruining your experience. Always try watching a video on YouTube of the ROM you are considering to flash, so you know how it looks and feels before flashing.

THanks for the info , yes I was told that Criskelo is the fastest and most stable but I dont know why for some reason it feels very laggy and drains battery like crazy. So I thought that maybe going back to stock ICS would solve the issue.
Lets say I want to keep Criskelo ... can I just go to Back up and Reset and Factory resset the phone ? is it safe? i dont care about the data and apps , ill have everything backed up and i can download again manually. but that might solve my lagging issues?

If all these steps complete successfully will my phone still be "rooted" ?
And I believe it should solve my battery drain issues along with bugs and lags right ?

Follow this to get back to stock... Its the same as the instructions given by someone earlier but if youd prefer a video...
Then if you want root use the video below...

It's safe from safe kernels lol.. Why don't you flash notecore, then factory reset?.. Notecore its a hell fast kernel and with over clocked version I'm getting 15/16 hours with 4/5 hours screen time.. And yeah notecore its a safe kernel
If you want a nice experience with your note I really encourage you to buy for a couple of bucks mobile odin.. Will make your life hell easier and safer
With mobile odin pro you can change custom kernels like changing your underwear without risking your phone and allowing you to try custom kernels with no yellow triangle.. Notecore and speedmod are the main kernels for tw roms
You can flash notecore and speedmod from cwm too though but for that you need custom recovery and a safe kernel wich criskelo already provided to your phone..
You gotta read a lot hehe

I think I already have notecore ?

ur right i certainly need to read a lot and i thought jailbreaking an iphone was a pain !!!
So is it safe for me to factory reset now ? It looks like I have NOtecore and CriskleROM v11
ALso for some reason Kies wont detect my GN in USB form.
I looked everywhere, tried reinstalling a zillion time, it wont do
Once you learn the basics you are good to go.. Erm yes you have notecore.. Download the latest release from his thread its v12 and yeah you are safe to perform a factory reset on your phone
Forget about kies on cuustom roms.. You only need it for drivers but nothing else... Heck not even being stock you need kies.. And if you want kies to detect your phone you gotta go settings/development /enable usb debugging
Edit: you need enable debugging

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 .

Rom Manager is what I used after the phone was rooted.

Get a patched rom. V20S is what I used. Flashed with Smart flash. Quit simple. Lots of reads out here on howto.

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.
