Revert back from LSA to stock ICS - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I know there are couple of other threads on this topic, but each of them gives me different information.
I flashed eybee's XXLSA leak recently but my OCD can't cope with even minor bugs and lag. I'm wanting to go back to stock ICS 4.0.4. I believe I came from a Hong Kong firmware (tgy). I'm rooted with Philz’s kernel.
1 Can reverting back to ICS be done by using recovery, or do I have to use Odin?
2 I don't have an external SD, does that matter?
3 I flashed eybee's supercharger script zip, does that make any difference in the process?
Thank you so much!

1. Yes, you can revert back to ICS by using recovery. I did it with no problem.
2. You do not need an external SD put the zip file on the internal SD card and flash from internal SD card.

You cant flash stock ics using cwm..U need to flash it using odin

[Q] Upgrading from 2.2.1 to Onecosmics RC3.1

Hello,
I have Galaxy S 2.2.1 rooted (CF-root) with woring CWM, a Nandroid backup, and Onecosmics ICS goodys locked and loaded on my internal SD card. But still I can't find the b...courage to do a full wipe and flash ICS as if something goes wrong I will be without a descent smartphone for about 2-3 months.
My question is if I can flash straight from 2.2.1 or I should go through CM7 first.
One flash is simpler than 2 in my head..
I reckon that as the days go by I will do it and I want to make sure I do it the right way.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I, personally, went through a CM7 flash before going to OneCosmic's ICS, leaving Froyo. It took me about 10 minutes to do it, and in doing it this way, you stay close to OneCosmic's installation instructions.
1. Flash CM7
2. Reboot and test your phone (without installing apps & widgets)
3. Flash OneCosmic's ICS
Hope it might help!

I would recommend flashing JVU (using Odin) before cm7 as it contains the latest bootloaders, just to make sure everything works as it should
Sent from my sgs
thanks!!!!
Yeah,
First I think you should install JVS with CF-Root and recovery.
Just register to samfirmware, where you can easily download the required files, also you'll find some tutorial. For CF-root, just google it, and you'll also find some tutorials, than just put the zip in your internal sd, and install it from recovery. Don't forget to remove your microSD before flashing, cause it can be damaged after.
If you did something wrong, you can still go back to stock JVS ( happened to me ) and start it over.

Dont worry, you can always Odin back to 2.x
Download mode through 3-button-combo > Odin (re-partition checked!)
Thank you for your insights, I will probably go to CM7 and then to ICS and if i get any issues I ll go back to 2.2.1 and then start from JVU.
I will let you know, soon I hope..
Going via CM7 should be the safest way. CM ROMS are the easiest and quickest ROMS to flash imo and you shouldn't have any problem. Once you do that without any problems, flashing ICS should be as easy.
Gluck!
So I tried to get CM7 over 2.2.1 with no success so I took the long road and upgraded to stock 2.3.4 via Odin, then flashed rooted CF root kernet, then upgraded to CM7 and finally (and after a lot of sweating) I got to Onecosmic's ICS which is great and really a major upgrade!
I think I have some donating to do........

So let me get this straight...

I recently upgraded my Note to official ICS (OTA) and I'm not liking it AT ALL! Now I really want to get far away from this update as possible and I'd like to switch to a CM9 nightly Rom. I've that now that I have upgraded to the official ICS Rom, I run the risk of super bricking my device. So now I ask you to help me make sure the following is correct so that I may move on from this wretched update:
DO NOT perform wipes if you are on original Samsung ICS
DO NOT perform wipes if you are on a original Samsung kernel??
Flash back to original Gingerbread Rom using odin BEFORE flashing to CM9
Flash to different kernel??
I've flashed millions of Roms but this one is scary and I just want to make sure haven't missed anything... Have I?
Thanks for you help!!
John J
Just flash a stock directly rootable GB rom, root and put CM9 on it. Then do a factory reset and you're good to go. Went that way few times already.

So is the super-brick BUG on the official ICS OTA?? OMG
And yeah go back to gingerbrear via odin, get root then flash any CM9 tru CWM no problems...
I'd like to do something similar to what the OP wants to do however I have rooted and installed CWM on an official/stock ICS rom. So if I wanted to flash back to a stock gingerbread rom would I need to remove CWM and/or un-root?

There is no need to unroot first. You can flash stock GB rom directly via Odin.
I've now flashed to GB but before I move on to a CM9 nightly, do you recommend I flash the CM9 kernel as well? Seems like it is not a prerequisite but I would like to make sure. Thanks.
John J
afaik, when flashing a CM9 Nightly, the eligible kernel is built in, so no need to flash anything but the ROM.
i'm on one of imilkas first CM9 port and it says [email protected] #1 under Kernel version in settings.
Yes. The correct kernel is included in the nightly.

[Q] Galaxy Note GT N7000 eMMC Bug/Kernel Related Question

Hi, I have an international varient of the Galaxy Note GT N7000 which using Chainfire's Got Brick App v1.1 says:
eMMC Chip
Type: VYL00M
Revision: 0x19
Verdict: Danger! This eMMC chip is "Known" to have the brick bug!
I once had installed a custom Kingdroid ROM v3 and wiped it but it had resulted in a Hardbrick/Superbrick so i had to take it Samsung Service Center to get it fixed. They have repaired it and given me back the handset with the Stock ICS ROM. Here are the details:
Model Number: GT-N7000
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-N7000JPLPD-CL643396
[email protected]#3
SMP PREEMPT Thu May 31...
Build Number: IM74K.JPLPD
Now i have done some researched and found that this bug is only triggered with kernels (ICS stock & leaked) which have the eMMC_Erase function/command. GB kernels are not known to have this erase function so they are safe.. Also the two safe kernels are franco r3 and speedmod k3 (Correct me if im wrong). Can anyone please guide me on the following:
1) Should I flash Stock Gingerbread OR ICS Kernel(franco/speedmod)?
2) Should I use Recover or ODIN?
3) Plz Provide the links for the Kernels - Franco R3 & Speedmod K3 which are safe?
4) Will the above Kernels provide root access?
5) Is abyss kernel safe (because it supports GPU overclock)?
6) Can i flash an ICS kernel over a Gingerbread ROM?
For answering please answer in a similar numbered way so that it is easy to read and understand for me as well as future audience! Thanking everyone who takes time to read and answer!
I use Speedmod kernel and i confirm that it is safe (for me at least anyway) Im using CleaNote ICS ROM, So I would suggest you also use speedmod kernel,
You Flash it in Odin, It will give you CWM and Root too !
Ive attached the kernel to the post for you.
Abyss kernel is safe, But its for GB ROMs only, You are on ICS so it wont work.
I dont know if you can flash ICS kernel over GB ROM, However, Your are on ICS so you shouldnt need to worry about that.
don't really want to hijack your thread an i dont really want to make a whole new thread for a simple question.
as a noob, im just wanting to know, if i update my stock gb to stock ics via software update, are there still chances of this emmc bug/brick thats going on?
and the battery drain issues, do they only exist in custom roms or does it exist in stock roms too?
cheers.

Thanks for the confirmation mate, one more thing to ask you: Is the speedmod kernel faster than the stock ICS kernel? Is there any flaws such as battery drain/WIFI problem with it? Also does it support GPU OC? Thanks once again for your help!

Firstly get your Galaxy Note checked using Chainfires App (Gotbrick v1.1). If the verdict says "Danger" only then does your device have this problem. My Galaxy Note (Rev 0x19) had this problem and came with GB out of the box and i upgraded it to ICS through Samsung Kies and it worked fine. So i do not think that while updating to ICS via Kies will cause this problem. As of what i know it is triggered when a command eMMC errase is triggered when either doing a factory reset or wipe through recovery. The update as such did not brick my device, however this does not mean it cannot brick yours. I am no expert on this so be a little cautious while updating. I would suggest stick to GB until Samsung Releases a safe stock ICS ROM with a safe Kernel. Cheers!
really easy
1: (optional ) in GB do factory reset (after you have made a backup with TB)
2: put phone in Download mode.
3: use PC odin flash STOCK ICS rom
4: reboot device let it load
5: put device back into download mode
6: use PC ODIN flash Speedmod k3-3
7: reboot
8: launch CWM and tell it to reboot in cwm recovery
9: load your custom rom of your choice
i HIGHLY recommend doing ONLY THE FACTORY RESET WIPE data and cache in GB before you start anything.
ONCE you are in ICS and have successfully loaded speedmod or franco's kernel then it is safe to do a factory wipe if you want. but ONLY after one of those 2 Kernels are on your device.

okay...
truth is i haven't actually bought the note yet.

im pretty sure only the n7000 model is out in australia.
but it's all okay if i dont factory reset/wipe/anything-risky-in-general right?

Yes, this bug is known to trigger usually when you do a wipe using the recovery. However there have been some cases when doing a factory reset via the settings has also resulted in a brick. However if you stay away from recovery and do not intend to doing flashing/wipes then i guess you should be ok. And it is a matter of time before Samsung Comes up with a solution. They are said to be working on this bug already. I have the N7000 which i bricked once while flashing and then wiping but i got it repaired since i had warranty. Since then i have stayed away from wiping or installing any custom roms so the device has not given any problems. Hope this info helps! Cheers!

1. Afaik yes

I have a quick ( hopefully) question about the brick bug. I already asked but I think a mod must have deleted the whole thread, even though the thread was about the brick bug and I think I might have been bringing a new way ( well for some anyway) to flash safely to new ROMs.
So anyway, I have a 'safe' kernel ( speedmod), and I want to try out 4.0.4 stock ROM. I have extracted the stock ROM zip and the tar file inside. In there is the Zimage.
Do I just delete the Zimage then re-zip and flash from CWM?
OR Do I have to replace the Zimage with another, 'safe', Zimage ( for example just put the zimage in there from speedmod because I want to keep that for now). Does there NEED to be A Zimage there, or will it work fine without one. I don't want to start flashing the ROM and it get stuck half way through.
If it will work this way then this might be a fairly easy way for anybody to flash any new ROM they want. They'll just need to get a safe kernel on there in the first place.

Gave that a go last night and I must not be doing something right. Either I need to re-zip it differently or I need to use something other than CWM (mobile odin?) because it's just aborting before it actually starts flashing anything.
Suppose I could always flash the separate elements on pc odin?

Try mobile odin. If you point to the tar, it should load all the components. You can then review which components are being flashed.

Stock rom in a zip? Are you sure you are nit flashing a custom rom? Point us to the file/thread please.
If it is a custom rom, the it is meant to be via CWM.
1. Flash abyss42
2. Reboot recovery
3. Do your wipes
4. Flash.
Im sure there is a specific instruction on where you got that file. Or better yet, go to dr. Ketans thread and get your stock rom from there.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
It's just the standard rom file from sammobile.It does come as a zip you know. If you unzip it, then use rar on it you can see all the bits. I thought if I just put a different zimage in there it would just go ahead and use that, but didn't seem to like it after I zipped it all back up again.
Tonight I've ended up getting chainfires excellent CF-Root kernel.Flashed that through odin, over my speedmod kernel.
Put just the factoryfs part of the stock rom zip onto the SD card and flashed that using the cwm app that CF-Root installs for you.. Now have CF-Root kernel and 4.0.4 firmware.
If you don't already have a "safe" kernel then I dunno what the brick chances would be, but since I had a safe one already I thought it couldn't hurt to try it out.
The reason I haven't flashed the hidden, cache, model and sbl parts of the zip is that simply they wouldn't fit on my SD card If it behaves funny or I can make space then I'll try the rest too. And the reason I didn't flash the zimage from the zip should be fairly obvious. Because I don't want a brick
EDIT: I managed to clear some space on the SD and flashed the rest of it. Seems to be working ok, so far anyway. I'm hoping the battery issues from 4.0.3 will be a little better. This is a really good way of doing it all as you can just swap out a potentially bad kernel for one that has been 'protected' by having te emmc cap erase turned off.

[Q] Upgrade confusion - Froyo to ICS

Hello guys,
I'm currently on:
Froyo 2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #91
FROYO.JPJPG
I want to upgrade to RemICS v1.3 (ICS 4.0.4), and my phone is already rooted, so my questions are:
A. Do I need to upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.3 first?
B. Do I need to use ODIN in order to upgrade the Kernel to ICS as well as the ROM.
C. I've almost consumed most of my internal SD memory, so if I do a Nandroid Backup; where would it be stored? and would it include the apps as well as the data, or just the basic data without the apps?
I'm leaning more towards using ODIN than to put the ROM on my SD card, so that if something goes wrong I can flash it directly from there again.
I appreciate your help.

First flash GB rom (best to do via odin). Kernels are usually included within rom so you don`t have to worry about that.Nandroid will be stored on sd but you can move it to your external sd or computer. If you`ll need it later for restoring you`ll simply put it back on int sd. Nandroid does complete picture of your phone, so everything will be backed up. BUT! You can not use nand restore done in GB directly from ICS. You`ll have to go back to GB rom before preforming it.
1. Yes. You need the gingerbread boot loaders.
2. Also yes. You will need Odin a second time to flash an ics kernel with cwm in order to flash the pics zip.
3. A nandroid does everything. Literally. Do one of them, go to another rom, when you come back its exactly as before. Down to the wallpaper and homescreen layout and wether Wi-Fi was on/off for example.

You don't actually need gb bootloader to go to ics, but I recommend it as if anything goes wrong it means as easy reflash to gb , rather than going back to froyo, gb bootloader are needed to get onto cm7, which is where the confusion lies
I made the leap to GB 2.3.6 using Odin. Amazing difference from that stupid Froyo. I'm enjoying GB right now until I find a solid stable ICS.
Thank you guys for the info.:thumbup:

If you want stable ICS I recommend ics333 extreme. Worked flawlessly on my good ol` s1. Since I bought s3 don`t know really how is with development on that rom but you can check it out on forum. Many different roms and ppl with different taste out there. Almost everyone has his favorite. This one worked really good for me.

Want to do a clean ICS reinstall - confused by ROMS and process

Getting sick of the ICS battery and kernel issues and have decided to clean out the phone and install everything fresh.
I am currently on an unrooted stock ICS ROM (N7000XXLRK) and understand that I should go back to a GB ROM first then install ICS. I will search on here for a guide on how to do it (links welcome ) but am confused as to which ROM I should use of the many stock ROMs posted on here.
Since I am going to do a clean install, is it worth going back to the XXLRK ROM or is there an improved one which has sorted the battery kernel issues out? Which GB ROM can I safely go back to without confusing things before I reflash ICS?
Is it recommended that anything else is added or flashed while I have the hood up? Unless there is an uber stable custom ROM I want to stay stock, but will want to root it.
