[Q] i'm going to flash XXLSA - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I don't have my Galaxy Note since 2 weeks. I've left my phone at Samsung Warranty because, like some of Note users, i had the USB port broken, so in this week i'm going to have a new replacement Note probably with GingerBread. I will flash Jelly Bean when i get it, but i dont know if with these steps will work (without bricks):
Assuming that i'm coming from Ginger 2.3.6
1: Download Samsung Drivers (kies) and ODIN 3 3.0.4
2: Install ICS XXLRQ with ODIN
3: Flash CF-Root with ODIN too.
4: Flash Philz Kernel XXLRQ with the CWM of Cf Root
(this is THE question: Flashing Philz kernel in Cf-Root, will make my phone safe for wiping? or i need some other thing?)
5: Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik.
6: Format Preload and System
7: Reboot Recovery
8: Flash XXLSA/LS7 (because XXLSA seems to be very buggy and a lot of people says the phone reboots randomly and stucl at Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000)​
Is there any risk if i do these steps?
Thanks! Sorry my bad english!
Greetings from Argentina!!

no need for step 3
just flash philz lrq in stock recovery
rest should be ok and safe

nonono, will loose warrantee, but for the lovebof your note
root first, efs backup on and off the phone. Then the rest.

No need to even root. Download from sammobile.com and install it via Odin.

By the time that you got your phone back, many of us will be using LSC instead of LSA. But I guess the steps will remain the same.

After flash using Odin, the Stock Jelly Bean will still have the brick bug? We still need to flash Philz safe kernel after upgraded to leaked Jelly Bean rom.
Correct me if wrong.

Yes....flash philz 3.71 kernel for XXLSA

I understand you might be a little shaky to flash JB over GB esp. with a new note at hand
It is safe to wipe using GB kernels, so for starters, DO NOT flash ICS or ICS kernels
1- you need to root your phone first, try dr.ketan thread for safe rooting on GB
2- download a flashable ZIP ROM for JB XXLSA e.g. Ultimate v5 or SweetROM v2.5 (I personally recommend sweetROM, great work by not-i)
3- do a full wipe (factory, cache and dalvick cache) - you might want to do it three times in a row just in case so that you won't get a bootloop
4- Format System & preload
4- flash the new ROM and you got XXLSA
I am not quite sure about the safety of jelly bean kernels, I still revert to abyss if I want to flash a ROM or do a wipe.. but that's just me
Good luck with your brand new Note

Ok, so I'm decided: I'm going to flash XXLSA or XXLS7 (Because i have the 2 roms) via Ginger Bread. I will root my phone with AbbysNote like the first time (a lot of months ago) and then after wipes and formats i will flash JB. I Cant wait to have my new note in my hands, and yes, i'm very shaky because i will Root and flash everything at one time and too fast, (i detest GingerBread since i know the existence of Jelly Bean)...
Thanks everbody for the help!
PD: (May be in two weeks i will have my brand new Note...)

[Q] How to downgrade from official ICS to GB safely

Hello guys
Since warnings about N7000XXLPY ICS kernel risks of hardbrick galaxy note i suppose that's a lot of people like me who installed last ICS 4.0.3 want to go back to GB but are affraid to do it to avoid geting theire Note dead.
I asked the question but no answer i just found this video explaining how to do it ,The problem is that it is a downgrade from an UNOFICIAL ICS rom to GB.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3DDEh8vyc&feature=plcp
STEPS : 1- go to recovery mode ( even it's not recommended to do anything with cwm with lpy kernel )
2- flash abyss kernel 4.2 final (browse zip )
3- reboot recovery
4- Wipe all- reset factory
5- always in cwm, browse GB rom and flash it
6- Reboot system
My question is : can we use the same way to go back to gb from official stock ics 4.0.3 SAFELY ? We have not many times to do it, may be we have one chance to do it right or we get the galaxy note bricked so plz any help will be appreciated .
Thanks
I have restored stock GB from stock German ICS twice with PC Odin. I had flashed the ICS ROM through mobile odin over a rooted stock GB ROM. I just flashed the ROM and NOT the LPY kernel. Had neither the root nor CWM.
I simply used PC Odin to downgrade without no problems.

How to safely upgrade to ICS

Hi guys
Just wondering how I should upgrade my note to ICS?
I am currently on the stock AUS GB rom with Hardcore's speedmod kernel k2 12 I have been waiting a while to do the upgrade as I'm a little scared to flash since I heard of the bricking bug. I have downloaded the got brick bug app from chainfire post and i do have the bricking bug hardware in my gnote
I have also put off the upgrade as I haven't found a stock AUS ICS rom that is available from sam firmwares or the stock rom post by dr ketan.
I phoned Vodafone today to ask if they have released ICS for the samsung galaxy note and they told me that they have, so any ideas on what I should do?

download your preferred ics rom, (I prefer kingdroid 4.4 with speedmod k3-7 kernel combo)
put the rom and the kernel to your sd card.
So you are on gb rom with speedmod. go to recovery, flash jbdroid kernel cleaning script after that do a factry reset ( you do no need to wipecaceh and dalvik coz' jbdroid kernel cleaning scrip does it )
afeter facory reset install the rom, install jbdroid kernel cleaning script and install the preferred ics kernel and reboot.
while you are on ics and want to wipe I HIGHLY prefer to you flash abyss 4.2 touch recovery and wipe there!!!
Flash your ics rom from PC Odin and never ever wipe data /factory reset
If u follow the instructions right then u face no problems

hi danteoo7 I also read the same information on another thread about never wiping data which a reason why I posted this :|. So why should I download the ICS rom and use pc odin over a recovery or mobile odin?
Refer to this thread
Refer to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763151
Because Samsung stock rom kernel have emmc brick bug problem which can brick your mobile and its a hard brick not recoverable by jig ...
And PC Odin is always safer than mobile Odin ..

is it safe to flash gb rom (from ics) via pc odin
i want paranoid rom to flash (is it safe to install via CWM?)
if i want to come back on gb then my phone not bricked
one more q : when i install paranoid then i recover som space on hard disc ? ( because gb is 650 mb+ and paranod jelly bean is only <300 mb)
Simply flash pre rooted ROM from my signature with PC odin
After successfull flashing, wipe cache,delvic cache and data.
Then follow instruction on paranandroid ROM thread.
You cant manipulate system ROM space..

If u want flash paranoid u must rooted...
U will brick ur note if u do the wipe from stock kernel ics..
So,root ur note using cf root or other custom rom like notecore or speedmod using pc odin n flash custom kernel gb like abyss kernel..
Do full wipe on abyss kernel..
N flash paranoid..

dr.ketan, my note is on stock ics no roms/root or anything pure sotck, wanted to go back to GB
i have the tar file for N7000JPLA1_N7000OJPLA1_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar
will flashing via pc odin cause a brick ? and will the emmc fault still remain ?
Jpla1 is gb rom, you can flash with pc odin, after flashing you may find force close, but nothing to worry Reboot in recovery and wipe cache and data.
Once you are on gb rom no issue of brickbug.

thanks,
sotck ics lags a lot and when i went to ssc they advised me they dont have currently the old rom so they told me to wait for an update to fix ics which i dont think i will go back to (for the time being)
i was worried that flashing the GB stock over the ics might brick the phone using pc odin so thx for your support
will install via pc odin then reboot in recovery (power up + home + power) factory reset after the gb kernel installs
hopefully get this big screen running again

go back in gingerbread

Hello everybody, My galaxy note running on MUIU Ice cream sandwish with a dangerous kernel and i want to go back on stock official gingerbread and I wondering if i can flash a stock rom via odin and if it's was dangerous for the phone , because i don't want to use the kernel abysal method.
Thank in advance
Goldiman
Well the odin way, is the safest way in my opinion.
Flash a safe kernell and then Flash the gb rom you wish via odin.
Search in the forums and you will find the exact safe steps

thank for your anwser
I wondering why flash a safe kernel before?
I can just flash the full stock rom via odin on a dangerous kernel right?
Straigh way flash any stock GB ROM with PC Odin.
Very likely you will face force closes after flashing GB stock ROM, nothing to worry, just reboot to recovery and wipe cache and data, everything will be fine. Remember wiping should only perform on GB ROM.
So thank you very much everybody
so i flash the rom via odin , so the flash pass, aftert i get a bootloop on samsung logo so i shutdown my device, and
press home and power button and volume up and select wipe data and wipe cache
reboot the device and everythings is fine

As long as you flash with odin, no need to flash safe kernel as odin does not uses recovery, but it is not advised to flash stock ICS as you may have to wipe immediately after flash. And wiping on stock ics can brick your Note.

Most of the times we may have to wipe in stock recovery after flashing stock rom using odin (specially if flashing over custom roms or flashing GB over ICS), and we all know that Samsung ICS kernels are not safe to wipe, it may brick your device if you have to wipe in ICS stock recovery.
Best is to first flash GB, wipe and then flash ICS using odin.

[Q] flash ICS I have GB CWM zip installed steps to take

I flashed gingerbread and rooted my note a long time ago using dr.ketan method and now i want to flash a custom ICS with all the bloatware removed,
Ive forgotten the procedure now as its been so long, basically im worried about the unsafe kernels and also now ive read about the CWM.zip not being safe I have CWM installed on mine as well as HC-kTool, can some kind soul show me the steps to get a safe ICS running?
ive listed all the info below
many thanks
to root i used - DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
android version 2.3.6
PDA:N7000XXLA6

CSC:N7000XEULA1
KERNAL: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566

All gb kernels are safe to flash
So you can simply do all wipes and flash a custom ics rom
If you flash stock ics rom,then you need to flash a safe kernel.All stock ics kernels are unsafe to wipe
