You can upgrade your phone to GB using this thread:

Upgrade recovery by doing these:
Download http://www.mediafire.com/?f8xechum4q78q8r
place it on the root of your sdcard.. flash it on stock recovery.. Just apply update from sdcard and the first file you'll see is the CWM zip file.. confirm installation and reboot your recovery.. you're done..
Choose and download Custom ROMS available in Dev Sections..
Good Luck!

Notecore is not a ROM, it is kernel . And as long as you are on safe ICS or CM kernel, no need to flash Abyss kernel. You can wipe/flash roms on safe ICS kernels, make sure to read the selected rom OP before flashing it.
opps...my bad, i mean cleannote rom. the.problem is he is not in safe kernel, he is using stunner 1.4.19 version which is not safe. i knw can flash abyss then flash some other safe rom..say if he wan to flash cm9/cleannote, after fullwipe under abyss recovery, can he flash either 1? again, thanks for replying.

Yes, if he is not on safe kernel then using Abyss kernel is good, you can flash any custom rom once you are on safe kernel.
But the best you can do is to flash pre-rooted GB rom using odin and then flash whatever rom you want.
yea..but him wanted to flash abyss then flash other rom..doesnt wanna go bk GB to start all over again...

All roms other than created by OEMs (Samsung in this case) are custom hence cleannote and all other CM, AOKP, MIUI and TW based roms modified by XDA developers are custom
Flashin stock GB is best method, you can also use abyss kernel and flash other roms using cwm recovery.
Yes but no need to flash abyss kernel you can just flash first notecore v14 or speedmode kernel then flash to your preferred custom rom.

wow...tats new to me...meaning after flashed a safe kernel (notecore/speedmode) from unsafe kernel(stunner) then i can flash my preffered rom(cm9/miui/cleannote,etc)...can skip abyss, ok thanks guys. but speedmod/notecore flash directly from stunner cwm recovery?

Right, I already told him as long as he is on safe ICS custom kernels he is good to flash any rom, but he is familiar with abyss kernel and if comfortable using it then it's good to use abyss kernel as well. Moreover he is not on safe kernel and has to flash that as well, so it's just a matter of choice using custom ICS or Abyss
Yes, these kernels are also available in cwm flashable .zip files as well, so you can flash them using cwm recovery too.
thanks a lot guys..i will tell my fren then let him choose which way he wat to use.:thumbup:

edit: my fren did this--> flash abyss, reboot recovery, fullwipe, flash alliance rom(latest), reboot. Everything is fine now. Thanks.

What should I do next?

I already rooted my gnote by using method stated by dr ketan and thanks for the tutorial so what should I do next?
I installed mobile odin so i just flash the HydraCore then flash rom?
Anythings I need backup before flashing?
Which rom is good for speed and battery life?
You have flashed hydracore?
If yes then make a nandroid backup via cwm and then flash any custom ROM with their respective flashing instructions.

We no need backup the system files right? What we need to backup just apps we installed and some personal settings right?
You need to do backup of your boot and system and all as they are important and if anythg will go wrong then they will help you in regaining your phone at a old condition.

Can have more details on it because i still very confusing, i read the post on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863 it say Supports Touchwiz ICS, AOKP, AOSP, CM9 , CM10, JellyBean, ParanoidAndroid, MIUI roms. So mean CyanogenMod 10, paranoidandroid, AllianceROM and other roms all can use without take note on this caution - Make sure to run CM9 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK!? Can you suggest one rom that you feel most stable and best to use at this moment?
Please flash hydracore kernel. Its a safe kernel and maybe then flash "cleaNote" ROM or any other ROM. Whatever you do just flash hyrdacore kernel and be safe.

latest stock ICS Rom

Help noob

I have stock ICS 4.0.4 rom and I want to root
my Note and flash to Cyanogen ROM or paranoid rom.
1 question: Will I be able to flash using Philz Cwm6 Kernel, or should I use other Kernel?
2. Does a stock ICS rom is a peoblem flashing to Jelly Bean Cyanogen or is the kernel which is important for flashing?
P.S Sorry if I wrote something because I'm still noob on phone modding.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
just go to install a safe kernal here for ur ICS4.0.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
my advise is do a backup using the safe kernal b4 flashing any roms it might help u in case something when wrong.
if u really don't know how to flash CM u can go find a rom manager it might be the easiest way for noob.
Flashing cm requires first flashing a cm 10 or 10.1 kernel, have a look in chasmodo's kernel repository in the stickies somewhere for cm based kernels.
Doesn't matter what rom you're on, you're right it's the kernel that's the important part.
Also if flashing cm base, make sure you perform full wipes before and after flash for best stability.

I just don't understand one thing. Now I'm sitting on Philz 3.99 safe Kernel and stock ICS 4.0.4 rom . If I flash CM9 Kernel from chasmodo Kernel repository then should I flash to CM ?

You won't be able to boot into ics, but once you've flashed cm kernel, then reboot into recovery and flash CM rom and then gapps, then do 3 wipes before boot.

Philz has fixed th error 7 on the 3.99 release. So you can go ahead and do the formats and flash the cm rom. There is actually no need to flash the th cm kernel first.
I have done it myself a couple of days ago

Twrp without root

Can I flash twrp recovery using odin without root?

Which android version are you on? For JB,there is only in CoCore-E kernel and you can flash by using Universal Kernel Flasher or via CWM.
Answering the questions and helping you is my favourite.

I've heard it's not compatible in jelly bean. I'm currently on gingerbread, but if I flash Jelly bean, is there a risk of bricking or will the recovery be as it is??

Who said that TWRP is not compatible with Jellybean? And no there is no risk of bricking your phone if you flash or update to Jellybean (but don't flash the Chinese firmware - I've heard that some people bricked their phone by doing that)... Just be sure that the firmware you will be flashing is the "right" one... I suppose that you are running the Indian Gingerbread firmware - so you can officially update to DULP8 (but backup all you data, apps, etc . first)... And yes, root it and install CoCore E 6.2 or 6.8 kernel - it has TWRP 2.5 with it...

Ok but it is written that cocore kernel 6.8-or-something version is only compatible with jb. And I meant that flasing twrp when on jb is not supported. It was written on the thread. And by the way I am on JPLK2 firmware so is it safe to flash that kernel over twrp?.. I'm relatively newb to kernels but not custom roms, so it may seem like a noob question... my apologies

No. Galaxperia is jb stock based rom. You need to be on jellybean first to flash that. Once you're on jb, you can flash with either twrp/cwm. If you flash that while you're on gb, you're gonna stuck at bootscreen.

You need to stop worrying about "bricking your phone"... as long as you know what you are doing, nothing bad should happen to your phone... and Yes you will lose TWRP... but after updating to JB you can easily root it and install CoCore E kernel with TWRP.....

Custom recovery (TWRP in your case) is on the same partition as kernel is. By flashing stock firmware kernel partition is getting wiped and new kernel with stock recovery will be instaled. First try to understand what is happening when you do something, and you will not have anything to worry about.
Againg what is already said - you can't install JB custom ROM on GB, and you can't install GB custom ROM on JB. Flashing firmware with Odin will not brick your phone, but only if you use firmware for your phone. If you have I9070P, I9070 firmware will brick it. And otherwise, if you have I9070, I9070P will brick it. Hard brick.
If you want TWRP you have to install kernel with TWRP embended in side of it. Rooting will not harm your phone, it just insert SU file that enable having root permissions.

All right. I was doubtful because in my Micromax canvas 2, all I needed to do was to wipe /system,/data,cache partition and dalvik cache and I could flash just about any custom rom, so I was a little confused on this one. Thanks
