Morning,
I've got my GNote running a stock ICS ROM rooted with Dr. Ketan method, temporary CWM.zip / install SUBusybox.
I really want to start experimenting with custom ROMS and such but given the issue with ICS Kernel I want to downgrade to GB, root and have the option to safely mess about without fear of turning the beloved Note onto a paperweight...
I've been reading across this forum a while now and there's a few things I've came across, but I'd like to know the easiest way to revert to GB..
From what I see it need to download PC Odin, a UK GB Stock ROM and install it via Odin.
Anything I'm missing out here? Do I need to flash a safer CF-Root or Abyss kernel first?
Sorry for the questions but this is much different to the HTC Desire I messed with daily without problems..
Thanks,

to revert to GB its as simple as flashing a GB Firmware in ODIN
Then when you are on GB, Flash a kernel like speedmod, Which will give you CWM + Root too ! Or just root the stock GB kernel, which ever suits you
Then flash away

Kinda feel a bit out of my depth here, Given I use the phone for work also I'm reluctant to brick the little son of a *****..
That said, I want to get off of ICS until they (Samsung) sort this issue out
Phone shows Running:
Android: 4.0.3
Baseband: N7000xxLPT
Kernel: 3.0.15-N7000xxLQ2
I have the root i was after, but just wondering if it's worth waiting for a fix from Samsung before i mess about a little more ..
PC Odin seems easy enough - issue is I can only seems to locate a Carphone Warehouse GB UK ROM - Guess this is not full of carrier bloatware?
Damn I'm edgy !

thanks in advance.
It's easy enough to do but understandably a little nerve racking at first.
You'll find all you need in Dr. Ketan's Stock ROM thread.. As well as full step by step instructions on how to proceed using ODIN.

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

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

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

Hey guys!
I need your help in this one i want to run a custom rom on my device
but had some really bad difficulty's and ended up with a bootlooping phone what whas really hard to fix (more luck than knowledge)
Some how i managed to go back to custom and its running on :
Firmware
2.3.6
Baseband
I9000XXJW4
Kernal
2.6.35.7-I9000XXJW4-CL1043937

AND IT IS ROOTED
so i know i have to upgrade my CWM but this messed up my phone the first try.
So need some advice and direct links to versions i need to download for my type op phone and kernal.
Thank you.
First decide which type of ROM you want to flash. Since there are many custom ROMs supported for your device. So do some searching and decide.
My advice is to stay with a stable ROM with least or no bugs.
After you have done this you can flash the ROM with either odin or directly by applying update from sd card during recovery.

And yes i know there are many kinds of custom roms! how ever many roms required CWM 5 or 6
And thats where the problems are starting.
I'm interested in CyanogenMod 10.1 or Slimbean
Follow the steps given in the following link for flashing cyanogen 10.1

You can use super one click or odin to root and update CWM to higher version.

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
