Im just stating here that I will generally know what you are talking about, im not a noob when it comes to android modding/roms/rooting, however i have always been worried with my note because ive seen lots of threads on devices being bricked.
basically i want to root my note, get CWM recovery onto it, and then flash whatever ROM/s i choose, without getting my phone bricked in the process.
i want someone to advise me on the best way to go about this whole thing, thankyou!
my device:
Samsung galaxy note (not sure if international or not, i bought from kogan.com.au, i live in australia, and have a telstra sim in it, however i think kogan ships the intl model)
android version: 4.0.3 ICS (stock)
baseband: N7000XXLPT
KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
BUILD NUMBER: IML74K.XXLPY
carrier: telstra (prepaid, and phone is unlocked)
the main confusion i have here is finding the correct threads for my kernel version, however i couldnt find what i wanted, and was unsure of which was safest, so thanks all for helping me out!

Hello Good Dr. I am about to try rooting via method 1.Rooting with stock recovery. After this am i correct in saying I should flash notecore kernel ? I would be using Mobile Odin to do this as I dont have Windows PC.
What would be safest method to get to ParanoidAndroid JB or CM10 JB from there ? After the Kernel is flashed. Would I have to downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom first then flash ParanoidAndroid ? So your method 1 > flash kernel > downgrade to pre-rooted GB rom > ParanoidAndroid ?
Kind Thanks.
If you want to downgrade to prerooted rom then no need to get root, except you have no option to use pc. In this condition just root n use mobile odin to flash prerooted rom. After successful flashing wipe cache n data and flash cusyom ROM.

So please just to clarify Dr.ketan. If I follow your method 1 to root my ICS Note and then I flash safe notecore kernel via Mobile Odin then I could flash ANY custom rom ? No need to flash a pre-rooted GB rom ? If this is correct would I need to wipe cache and data before flashing custom rom ? Please could you clarify which cache I should wipe ?
Thank you very much.
[Resolved via DM. Thanks Dr.Katan]
After flashing note core.you can.flash custom rom if that is ics based.
Otherwise i recommend to flash preroored gb rom first and wipe all (cache,data and delvic cache)

Can I flash pre-rooted gb rom with mobile odin ? do I need a tar file or will it work with zip ? or should I use recovery mode and a zip ?
Thank you.
Stephen
Mobile odin can't flash zip.recovery.files. You can flash tar file, and prerooted gb rom is in tar. You can use mobile odin for that

Thank you once again.
Is this safe to do on mobile odin ? Please could you provide me with a link to a pre-rooted gb rom in .tar format as the one in your sig is in .zip
Stephen
Just extract that, n you will get .tar file.

Well guys. It looks like my flashing rom days are over before they have begun !
Tryed flashing the pre-rooted GB rom via Mobile Odin. This is what I get http://twitpic.com/an6zbi
This isnt right is it. Surely the other sections should be filled in not just System ? This is a real problem as I dont have Windows and can get my head around Heimdall. Im stumped. Is there a file I can use via Restore to install the rom ?
Hope someone can help !

I have read a lot but I'm still a bit confused...
Hello dear friends,
I'm just a newbie here, so please be patient ...
1) I'm planning to root+CWM my n7000 and also (and finally) want to flash CM9.1 (stable) on it. Right now I'm on GB 2.3.6 (not directly rootable) it's ZSLA2... for what I understand from Dr. Ketan's rooting guide is that I have to first downgrade the device flashing a pre-rooted+CWM'ed GB ROM from Chainfire..... ok, no problem.... but, my main question is: once I already have this pre-rooted gingerbread rom, can I (must I) do a hard reset/wipe prior to flash a custom rom?... and, can I FINALLY and DIRECTLY flash the CM9.1 + Gapps files from that chainfire's gingerbread rom version/kernel?... or do I have to upgrade again to a new GB ROM and then flash the CM?.... or even further: do I have to upgrade to a newer GB ROM then to an ICS ROM and only then I would can flash the CM file??....
2) The obligated dumb question: Once I finally flash CM9.1 ROM, it's a must (or a recommended practice) to flash a safe kernel like Franco, Speedmod, Notecore (for safety and/or performance)??
Thank you for your time! cheers

1. always advisable to do all three wipes ( data , cache, dalvik) in CWM if you are on GB and planning to flash another rom from there.
--- yes, you can directly go from pre-rooted Gb to CM 9.1 with g apps
--- when you are on CM and want to go to a custom ics then best to follow the method specified in opening post of the rom thread by developer. all CM kernels are safe to wipe and flash from generally...
2 . Franco , notecore, speedmod are all Touchwiz kernels. a CM rom will not boot with it, its not compatible.there are other CM kernels available that you can use with it, refer kernel repository by Chasmodo

Now that you mention Touchwiz (and continiuing with the dumb questions)... how can I have the latest Touchwiz (the SIII one) alongside with CM9? and... will I have all the S-Pen funcionality (pen and apps) in CM9??

TW and Cm roms have varied/different and many simillar features
you must read through the rom threads for identifying them and choose your rom accordingly
I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it by searching.
I'm running 4.0.4 rooted, and would like to unroot it since I have to take my Note to be fixed on warranty. I rooted with temporary CWM and because it's considered to be dangerous now, can I run the Unroot_SuperUser-Busybox-Uninstaller-Update2-signed.zip from Dr. Ketan's root/unroot thread from stock recovery ?
Just wanted to make sure before I do anything stupid. And yes, I know I could flash to stock GB, wipe and flash to stock ICS but if I could unroot straight from recovery it would be a lot easier. Thanks in advance.
Yes you can, but remember if you have flashed custim kernel then first replace with stock. As well if you have update supersu from market, then first uninstall that from setting -appl -all

I just rooted my old T-Mob tablet with the one click root method .... there is no custom recovery yet ... can I put ......[ROM][10-04-2013][AOSPA 4.2.2][GSM] ParanoidAndroid 3.15 or any AOKP jelly bean on it ? and how?
you can, but you probably want to forget about those rooting(which makes no difference) and putting custom recovery on it.
That path is fraught with failures.
The reason is, recovery is part of a kernel in this tab. If you find a custom kernel that has custom recovery, likely it is not a suitable kernel for your android.
Just follow my signature to use Overcome method.
Follow the guide from page 7 or 8 onward.
It guides you on flashing a Samsung GB stock rom that works with overcome kernel.
From there you can use overcome's CWM recovery and flash the Paranoid ROM.
Okay so stock rom with an overcome kernal/recovery and from there I can go into the recovery like any other CWM and flash the paranoid rom? Btw my tab is still in Froyo lol
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Yes.
And the guides will help you move to GB (Gingerbread) first.

Very nice and easy step by step instructions!
Hello guys! So i have got a problem, i want flash a new firmware but the user that had this phone before has allready flashed a new firmware...
It is an old 2.2 FW but i want a 4.3 FW. However what should i do now? Its rooted allready, and there is a old recovery installed(no option to flash roms)
At first you have to flash a Custom Recovery Mode. For example CWM or TWRP.
Then you can flash your Custom Rom.
Just use Google an you will find an instructions.
For the best experience you can flash it to the latest stock ROM via ODIN, install CF-Root (contains CWM too) and then upgrade to CM 10.2 with fullwipe
Just go to the forum and search cyanogenmod 10.2 from ADC team then they will provide the link to install the CWM. You can install CWM through odin (makesure u got the right odin). Follow strictly the instruction that is provided by the forum

I think there are only Roms by the ADC-Team for the I9001 and not the I9000.

I'm on stock Rom GB 2.3.6 on my Samsung s plus and I tried to flash any Cyanogen Custom Rom in CWM ( Ics and Jb) and Always i get the same answer . O f course I rooted My phone ,Installed CWM and did all the wipes .Always the same answer no matter what version of Custom rom I tried to flash.What can I do?
Makesure you have to use correct version of cwm to install the cm. I recommend try cyanogenmod 10.1 JB 4.2.x . GO to the cyanogen official rom post (under ADC team).
FOllow all the instruction that stated inside the topic.
Any mismatch of the version of installation can fail to install rom.

You have i9001
The rom you try to flash is for i9000

Exactly.
Looks like your installation is failing because the file is for an I9000B. If you want to use CM10.1 on an I9001, you'll need to go here.

or you can use mobile odin.
ask questions in Q&A sections. As for your problem, if you want pure stock then only flashing via odin through usb is the way afaik. Repair your usb port.

You can't flash a stock rom using CWM, just custom roms, but here there is a pure stock rom...just kernel changed (cf-roof b83)
And yes you can flash a stock rom WITHOUT Odin using Mobile Odin MOD for GT-S5830
Be carefull with this app...but several members used it to flash a new stock rom successfully even you can read the latest post in the thread to get more info
