My experience is with Motorola HTC huawei. I have never owned a Samsung before and I am a little confused. I rooted my note and it currently has an advanced recovery and I deleted some apps I never use. The image attached should tell you guys what it is at the moment. I would like to install the Bangladesh version ics Rom for the note but I'm not sure how to go about it.
1. How do I flash the Rom. Do I flash like I did with my HTC and Motorola.
2. Would I lose root in the process?
3. If and when Samsung releases jb for note would I be able to update ota?
4. What is odin why do I need it and what's flash count?
5. I don't like aosp or aokp roms. What Rom should I move to eventually?
6. If I flash a Rom will I lose everything from the internal sdcard?

1.
I never use HTC and Motorolla smartphone, but in samsung, you can use ODIN (you can choose ODIN PC, or Mobile ODIN).
For mobile ODIN, you can use the lite version free (from google play), or you can purchase the mobile ODIN pro. But mobile ODIN can only be use if you are rooted.
Otherwise, ODIN PC would be a good choice (if yours not rooted, or do not intend to purchase mobile ODIN pro).
You may refer to this thread (by dr. Ketan). Read properly on how to flash your Note, once you understand, you may proceed.
2.
If you are rooted already, and you flash by ODIN PC, yes... you will be unroot again, and go back to stock kernel.
if you use mobile ODIN, you can keep the root by choosing keep root option(but in some cases, root also gone). But don't worry, if your root gone in the process, you can always root back your device, using this thread (by dr. Ketan again). All credits goes to him, I only provide you the link.
3.
When sammy will release ? no news yet. I only know soon. But I believe it should be after the release of Note 2 in all countries, only then we will receive the OTA for JB on our N7000.
For OTA updates, I'm not so sure if you are able to do it perfectly when your device is rooted. I have never done the update from OTA / or even Kies so far. I always use ODIN.
4.
ODIN is a tools to help you to flash firmware / kernel / csc. It's an optional tools in case you want to flash firmware from other countries. Or when you want to change kernel, but your device is not rooted, or when you want to flash just the CSC files.
Flash count is the binary counter, it's like a protection to Samsung, so they will know whether you flash custom ROM / kernel onto your device or not, and if yes, how many times. Normally when your binary counter up, Sammy will void your warranty.
But don't worry, there's a tool to remove by using this thread (Triangleaway, by Chainfire).
Binary counter is up when you (edit : flash custom kernel via ODIN PC). When you flash original firmware (from any countries), using ODIN PC, it won't up your binary counter, as it is considered as official ROM from Samsung.
5.
You can use TW ROM.
6.
It is always good to move your important data to external SD card first. and/or you can backup first before you flash anything onto your device.
But my understanding, your internal SD card won't be affected eventhough you do a full wipe, unless you format it. :fingers-crossed:
Lastly,
Just a gentle reminder, DO NOT do any full wiping under original ICS stock kernel / recovery. You want to wipe, please flash a safe kernel first.
Choice of safe kernel = you can find it here, a thread summarize by Chasmodo.
Hydracore, Philz, and speedmod is proven to be safe (as they have removed the eMMC brick bug).
Please read all carefully before flashing.
Good Luck!

This was a very detailed and helpful reply. Thank you for taking the time to help me. Just one little question.
With Samsung people don't flash custom roms via recovery? People use odin? Or can it be done both ways?

Custom ROM normally flashed by recovery.
Normally you can only flash a Custom ROM after you have rooted your device.
ODIN only use to flash official firmware / CSC from samsung.
or to flash custom kernel.
anyway, if you are really new to this note, I suggest you to do more research and reading, especially on dr. Ketan thread.
He really helps us a lot here with his thread.
Only when you are confident and sure about the step, then you may continue. A lot ppl don't want to read carefully, and end up in bricking the device. (I was one of them when first time having this note). After bricking then I start to learn from scratch, read more post and thread.
u should do the other way around, read more, confident, then do.
Good Luck!

:good:
perhaps you would like to ammend your topic with additional word of [SOLVED] ?
Okay Guys, I have read thread after thread but I'm still unsure on a few things and would really appreciate some straight answers here:
My fiance has a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with the following:
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: N7000XXLRK
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-N7000XXLRK-CL811902
Build Number: IMM76D.XXLRK
Now I'm not really sure if we need to root the phone or not, all she really wants is:
1) Custom themes (different unlock sliders ect)
2) More customizing apps like SPB Shell 3D
3) Better Battery Life
From what I understand in order to get noticably longer battery life and UI customization you need custom ROMs with optimized code, but I could be wrong.
I would would also like to be able to Overclock the CPU but then thats just me being a bloke
So heres the Questions:
1) There are now One-Click rooting batch file that reduce the risk of end user mistakes Soft/Hard bricking the Phone
Q1) Is this the part that is unsafe? or is it just flashing custom ROMs which is unsafe?
Q2) Should I use CWM to flash ROMs / Recovery / Wipe as in some threads thats the advice and in others you get DO NOT wipe in recovery
DO NOT flash anything else in recovery
In general, DO NOT use recovery at all
Q3) Is there a way of installing Custom unlock sliders and SPB Shell 3D without having to root the phone? I've heard you need DroidWall to block Wifi and Data so the app doesnt call home, but that this requires the phone to be rooted first?
Im really sorry for all the stupid questions but hopefully somebody can clear things up for me.
Thanks
For installing themes and apps,you need not do any rooting
There are many third party apps to install in play store
For lock screen themes,try go locker,magic locker or milocker
And spb shell can be installed without getting rooted
If you are interested in rooting and flashing custom roms,then first flash a safe kernel(like hydracore) and then flash custom rom through cwm recovery
Dont do any wipe on stock kernel,it may brick your phone
So if you are still interested in rooting,simply flash hydracore kernel through pc odin

A1; wiping from stock recovery if ics is unsafe.
A2; cwm is used to flash roms
A3; spb shell doesn't require root. Droidwall is like a firewall. it works on iptables. so it needs root.
If u root u can customize ur phone to gr8 extent

Rooting is no problem. The cause of brick, as mention by others is the wiping under stock kernel.
Just install the philz modded stock rom, u will get a safe stock kernel + root + cwm.
Or if u want just follow dr. Ketan thread on rooting.
Anyway, try not to use one rooting.
I m not sure whether can work or not, but my last reading base on the search i found, it can't be use for ics. U may correct me if i m wrong.
Best if u want simple rooting nd safe kernel, just flash philz.
And yes if u want to flash custom rom u can only do in cwm.
U cannot flash it under stock recovery.
Good luck!

I've Only tried Go locker so far but so far so good!!!
So let me get this straight, Wiping your phone using the stock wiping utility provided with the phone on the standard Sumsung supplied Kernal is unsafe???
A1; wiping from stock recovery if ics is unsafe.

A3; spb shell doesn't require root. Droidwall is like a firewall. it works on iptables. so it needs root.

So CWM is an alternative recovery method which is used for flashing Custom Roms, simply enough.

Thankyou very much for the direct links, very helpful indeed, now if I can find the "thankyou" button you'll all be getting my thanks!
Looks like you dont really need to root. Except for the overclocking (there goes your battery life
Make sure you get the kernel right. After that there isnt much that can go really wrong. Or just wait a while, Jelly Bean (an update for your operating system is) around the corner
What I ment was if I want SPB Shell for free without paying for it, I heard that you can use Droidwall to block its internet contecting so it doesnt get dectected and require payment?

Yes N7000 running ICS stock rom with stock kernel .. wiping on them triggers the emmc erase command that corrupts the system. that y philz kernel is a stock kernel with the erase command disabled and u get root as well as CWM v6.0.1.4 latest. :good:

No Philz is a stock kernel so its just like that, for OC u need a kernel that supports it eg. Hydracore OC.

Installing custom ROMs
Installing Mods like battery mod, call recording, full screen caller ID, 15 toggles, transparent notification . infact u can change the look of ur phone if u know how to tinkle with the System apks and frameworks. Mods mainly require u to access the system folder which is only available when u root.
go thru this thread
Good battery life from my N7000 began with the XXLRK. Succeeding builds XXLRQ and XXLRT performed just as well. Therefore do not expect much battery life improvements until your wife changes her phone habits.
I am using Paranoid Utaka now. Even with low cpu settings things are the same with batt life. I believe this has already reached design limits.
Hey guys, sorry its been a long time since my last reply, the Mrs has been so happy using her galaxy note with the new themes/loaders that I haven't needed too ask for more assistance......until now!
To cut a long story short I have a two year old soon who often uses this now to doodle on some of the drawing apps and somehow he removed the apps icon which launces the app tray, and the Mrs was always complaining that she kept getting popups with invites from women on dating websites, (again probably the boy when he's frantically jabbing the screen when he's drawing)
So anyway we wanted to wipe the phone back to its factory settings and I remembered you guys saying it was unsafe to wipe from stock ICS so I've flashed Phiz latest Kernal with touch recovery mode.
I now want to install some custom roms as I'm feeling adventurous however I've been reading lots of conflicting info in the threads on here, some saying flash back to GB rom first or you'll brick your note
And others saying that flashing back to Gb roms are the cause of the bricks!!!
Now I've already made a backup in philz recovery, but do i need to flash back to GB or not in order to instsll paranoid Android?
Also any other rooms you guts can recommend? Are there any stock jelly beans roms yet?

Cheers man, just finished flashing the ultimate JB rom and its awesome, thanks again to everybody who has helped me out through this whole process.
hey guys, I was thinking to root my note n7000 running android 4.0.4
I read many threads and guides but could not understand the way to do it...
some says "this way is better and safe" and some says "that one is risky, try another"
Actually I want to root because of two reasons
1. Want to install a beautiful (good looking) ROM like MIUI (cause installing themes makes my note slow, toooo slow and then it crashes too)
2. I want some apps that require root (like an app to remove permissions that apps ask but they don't actually need)
So I wanna ask you guys, is it worth rooting?
Is it possible to install MIUI in note OR is there any other better alternative to MIUI
I don't really care about the warranty as long as I can understand the way to root my phone safely so I won't brick it (though I even read in some threads that you can root without going against the warranty conditions)
I also saw the one-click root setup that needs a PC, download the rar, connect phone, USB-debugging and start the file in PC, is it safe and not outdated or patched by the android 4.0.4
So guys, suggest me should I root or just wait for JB update for the note
and if you suggest that I should root then can you please :angel: point me in a direction, to a good and easy to follow guide for newbies...
:highfive:
i rooted the note as soon as i got it..
its very simple to root a 4.0.4 these days and safe as well..
check you rom build number and download the kernel corresponding to your rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
then place the zip file in the ext SD.. boot into recovery and update from external SD and point to the Zip file.. install and done..

thanks man for the reply,
I understand the later part that transfering the zip files to external SD and install from it
but I fail to unerstand which zip file to download
my "build number" is "IMM76D.DDLR9"
and "baseband version" is "N7000DDLRR1"
also I wanted to ask if this the same CWM.zip method as mentioned in this THREAD cause they are saying that following this method will result in a brick
one last thing, if you could also make my doubts clear
rooting is needed to access to system files so that we can install and use apps which require ROOT
but I do not know about kernel and CWM...
once again many many thanks for the reply...:victory::angel:
Use ddlr9
cwm.zip can result in a brick
yes root is needed to access system
to install. mods, tweaks, different roms etc etc. etc

kernel is a universal name. You can look it up anywhere
cwm is an advanced recovery that can perform many tasks as compared to stock recovery and is embedded in the kernel for note. when you change kernel your recovery will change as per what the dev included.
cwm is aso required to install custom roms

Considering your requirements you should root.
Your only concern is that you may not be able to do it properly.

yeah that's what I thought
I would rather give it to some other person who knows the process of rooting than doing it myself, looks very confusing to me :silly:
okay done!
so I have finally rooted and flashed my kernel...
I followed this guide on youtube
youtube[dot]com/watch?v=fIV84TwdPdY
basically, it told me to download "Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed.zip" and update from the zip and I followed
then I got the supersu app in my note and my note was rooted then following the guide again, I installed "mobile odin pro" from the play store, downloaded "speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-15-CWM.zip" and using mobile odin i flashed it
so now my phone's "about" page is like this
View attachment 1653682
so I just wanted to ask whether this kernel is safe or not, do I have to still flash something else cause I read that most of the ICS kernels are affected with the "brick" bug and I was on android 4.0.4 when I rooted and flashed my phone..,
and what about flashing roms...,
It's only stock ics roms that are unsafe. Speedmod is safe, also worth checking out is phillz kernel which is as close to stock as you can get but with the mmc_cap_erase command disabled.
Since you're on a safe kernel now you can flash most roms straight away, although if flashing cm based rom like paranoid or cm10 you usually need to flash a cm based kernel first, then boot into recovery and flash the cm rom from there. All first posts will contain necessary flashing procedures. You'll get the hang of it and if you need help continue asking.

first, thank you SpyderTracks for your quick response, I actually slept last night cause I didn't think that I would get an answer so fast :angel:
now, what rom you people suggest me to install as I am AGAIN confused to choose the rom
and as SpyderTracks said to install CM roms i need CM kernel too, so I suppose there will be again many more choices, so would anyone tell me which one is the easiest and simplest...
I actually looked at many roms
like MIUI, CyanogenMod, some jellybean roms like JellyBam
so from where should I start to understand this rooting things
P.S I have got mobile odin pro and rom manager from store, if they can help
EDIT
please help me out, I did something wrong
i downloaded and installed mobile odin pro
flashed latest CWM
and then I downloaded "RocketMIUI v8 - MIUI 2.10.19 - SNote running!!! - multilang" and wenti into recovery vol. up+power+home
first of all I used "wipe data/factory reset" option and then "wipe cache partition" and then finally I used "install zip from sdcard"
update was succesfully done but now when I start my note, it gets to samsung logo normally then the welcome page of samsung shows up and there i'm getting an error "unfortunately, phone has stopped" and now I cannot do anyting
PLEASE help O

It's just a flashing error or kernel issue, don't worry just yet. Reflash the rom, it comes provided with hydracore kernel. Leave it with that kernel, remember to do 3 wipes after flash, then try reboot.

Good day. My name is Renoux. I have a South African Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 on the MTN network but currently using Vodacom Simcard.
I am so new to flashing and rooting and there is just TOO much info to go through on this site and also any other. I am even more clueless now than I was before after reading about it.
I would like to do the following:
1) Backup everything on my phone (will the app I'm going to use still be on my phone after reset? do I need to download again and my backup file will automatically be added? Will I lose some data?)
2) I want to use a ROM called Paranoid Android. the one I have is pa_n7000-3.60-11JUN2013-053741.zip
3) How do I uninstall my current OS? I am using Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.0.4 with Baseband version N7000XXLRB.
PDA: N7000XXLRI
PHONE: N7000XXLRB
CSC: N7000OJVLR3

4) What are the programs that I need to download? for both my PC and the phone to get this done? could you maybe include links please?
5) Do I root after or before installing the new ROM? using what? how?
basically, delete everything on my phone, after backing up the most important stuff, delete ICS, install paranoid android and then root it for full use.
Thanks.
If you want to backup everything like app+data then you can use titanium backup pro but you need root for that.. I usually provide links but as you are too lazy to read what already exists and will be there till next year for sure (just saying).. Search for philz kernel on google for n7000 and download .zip for kernel corresponding to your rom.. Put it on ext sd.. Press volume up+power+home button and you will get stock recovery from there use the volume down key to choose install zip from ext sd and press power button to select. Once done you will have brickbug safe kernel and root. Now you can install titanium backup pro and backup all the apps+data (only non system apps recommended). Now once you are done go to paranoid rom thread and read the instructions there for how to install.. If you want to install ics or even jb for any other country you can do that using pc odin or mobile odin.. Search for dr ketans stock rom n7000 in google and you will get all the stock rom to download with how to.. If you ever install stock rom again you will have to root again using the same method as mentioned above to be able to use tbp and restore apps with or without data..

Here is how to do it.
Root your phone. There are a lot off info on YouTube on hire to do. Here is one example: http://goo.gl/UWgl6
When rooting, you do not lose any information on you phone, by when changing rom you do. Therefore, use titanium backup pro (yes, buy the pro version) to backup your data.
When rooted, it is also very easy to install a new rom. My suggestion is the Stunner rom. How to install a rom is also very simple. Here is a video to show you hire to do it: http://goo.gl/Df72h
Good luck!

Ask the moderator or just leave it be.
Hi!
I have tried googling my question and I find different solutions for this, but I am a sceptic and I only trust the xda forum when it comes to this
Where can I get the I9295 stock rom for my phone and what is the best way to completely wipe the phone and install the rom?

If you have a custom recovery you can install the stock rom from there. The factory reset is also available. After an OTA update the custom recovery will be gone. The problem is the triangle. I don't know if there is one and how to reset it.
The only problem is getting the stock rom. I am also interested in that as I want to update the baseband through the OTA update.
Best wishes, Christian

Hi, just find your appropriate FW here and use ODIN and you should be set.
