[Q] Criskelo ICS ROM v2 install

hi there,
first off, im sorry for being a total noob.
i was trying to look for a full guide to install Criskelo ICS ROM v2.
i found an online guide from the site rootgalaxynote dot com
but its for the older version.
i was wondering if i can do this step but install using the V2 or follow the steps, install the older version then use clockworksmod to load v2?
once again, please accept my apologies as i have never touched an android in my life.. im so new, my note is still in the mail and i havent even received it yet.

Go the the development section find criskelo v2 and follow the instructions in the first post? Why go to another site when the instructions are right here

hi there,
i was there, the thing is that i want to make sure i understand the instructions the instructions
From GB:
Install ics repack by chainfire via mobile odin-reboot-reboot into revovery-full wipe-install criskelo ics.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so before i run the steps above, i should install clockworkmods and titanium backup to backup my current rom and apps rite?
then i download the ics repack by chainfire and the criskelo v2 mod
then install mobile odin and install the mod?

Very simple as ABC.
First you use PC odin and flash a single file called chain fire repack.tar
This ROM is already rooted.
Boot up and install triangleaway1.25.apk
Copy your ROM to SDcard
Reboot to recovery using the CWM app in Your note
Wipe data.factory reset wipe the other one below the list. I forgotten the name
Wipe devalik cache from advance settings
Install the zip file called Criskelo or any other ROM from Sdcard.
Once you are done reboot and enjoy your new rom.

No, you can't overclock any of the ICS kernels for the time being.

i see.. ok.. no prob.. dont really need that much juice anyway.. for now that is...
do you guys recomend i root my GB in stock condition then backup with CWM first? just so i can revert much later on in case bad stuff happens?

always make a backup incase of anything going wrong

This does however increase the binary counter thus voiding warranty. By taking some extra steps you'll be able to upgrade to any ICS rom without increasing the binary counter.
What I did was I flashed one of the pre-rooted roms found in a thread in the dev section. After that I flashed the CF Root kernel for the rom I installed (I used the pre-rooted LA6 rom so I used the CF kernel for LA6).
Now you have full root and CWMR so you can flash any rom you like. For ICS roms, install Mobile Odin, flash the ICS LP1 repack, reboot to recovery, do a full wipe and install any ICS rom you want to try.
Pre-rooted stock roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
For CF-Kernel check step two "2. I Want ROOT + CWM" of this thread and download the appropriate files for the pre-rooted kernel you flashed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

This is what triangle away is for.

To my knowledge Triangle Away only does exactly what is says, it will remove the yellow triangle after you've flashed a custom kernel through pc Odin and thus having triggered the binary counter. To my knowledge Triangle Away is not able to reset the counter though I could be wrong as I've never used it myself. There is however a thread explaining how to remove both the triangle and reset the counter using a usb JIG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888

Counter is reset
using triangle away does reset the counter as well as removing the triangle also says your rom is samsung original even if it is not!.
you must use the correct ics version to do this one that does work is I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK worked just fine on my note. It does not work on all current versions of ICS. enjoy

Thanks a lot for the info! I really didn't know and I thought I read somewhere that it didn't reset the counter.

does the triangle away work for GB phones? just wondering

No

Other way you could try
Hi, maybe you already flashed, but this is how I did it. No problems at all.
Starting from stock GB. (Or you can flash stock through ODIN)
Used CF-Root to get Root and CWR on the phone.
Downloaded and flashed Abyss Kernel 4.2
rebooted recovery
flashed ICS ROM from sdcard.
Worked perfectly well for me.
Hope this helps.

As soon as you flash the rom, abyss kernel will be overwitten (you get CWM).
Now a piece of advice, there are great risk on flashing any rom based on leak repack, there is an issue with the kernel and the eMMC, which basically can fry your phone (if you are unlucky).
I personally decided to flash back to stock GB.... just in case. I'm not willing to gamble with my note, but that is me.

thanks for the input... was kinda thinking that while doing alot of reading... im still considering a GB rom or an ICS rom

Kindly advice... can't flash any ZIP from CWM

Folks,
I have one issue with one SGN which i couldn't solve, and, would like to seek help from all the good fellas out there
Basically in one liner... i can not flash any file from CWM after upgrading to ICS - as of now. It will always kind of 'hang' when I/O performs write. I/O read is OK.
What i have done so far ;
-- Reverting back to Stock Gingerbread --
a1.) PC ODIN back to Gingerbread w/ PIT. Re-root and CWM.
Gingerbread boots all good.
a2.) Reboot to CWM and perform wipe.
Gingerbread boots all good and back to "Default'.
a3.) Enable "USB Debugging" and proceed to root and installation of CWM.
Gingerbread boots all good, with verified Root and CWM.
Flashing any ZIP from CWM from either internal or external SDcard has no issue.
-- Upgrade to ICS --
b1.) Reboot to CWM, flash Abyss safe kernel, wipe and format all mounts.
b2.) Reboot again to CWM, flash custom ICS ROM, JBroid, and kernel.
ICS boots all good, with verified Root and CWM.
-- Flash a ZIP via CWM --
c1.) Reboot to CWM
c2.) Flash any ZIP from either internal or external SDcard.
It will read the ZIP successfully, but, when I/O starts to write, the operation will just "hang".
Thinking it could be a lost root access issue, i boot back to ICS to check the root access, which unfortunely has no problem.
I have also tried "Set Permissions" from CWM, but to no avail.
Lastly, I have replicated the exact same process mentioned as above to another SGN, but the latter does not pose such issue

Are you trying to flash cf root, because it cannot be flash in CWM recovery. I cannot flash cf root myself in recovery.

Make sure you have checked unknown sources under Settings--> Security..
When you flash a custom ICS rom don t flash jbroid after flashing the rom. Reboot Recovery and try to install applications .

Please make sure you have full root before flash anything at recovery. For your cases, should be involve in partial root issue.
Please report back, and we will guide you how to gain full root again.
Please using "root explorer" copy and paste some file into system.

cant flash from CWM
i think your prob is mainly because of the partial root like what lee mentioned. i personally experience that before..the only solution for u is to flash the stock ICS <pls download fr dr.ketan's post> thru ODIN PC. After u flashed the stock ICS, root it and u r free to flash any ICS rom u like..cheers..
if this guide is useful..a Thank ll nt cost u a buck..:good:

Doesn't flashing a custom kernel through PC odin give you full root? In that way he can flash a custom kernel to resolve the problem.

But kernels with rooting ability gives us full root. I rectified a similar problem when i was running Ginger bread. Used Speed-Mod k2-12 to get full root.

Flash AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo ( attached file ) using pc odin (pda slot ) . Its a .tar file so you can flash it using pc odin . You will get a functional clockworkmodrecovery after this step allowing you to flash any rom .
Caution it will raise your flash counter and you will get yellow triangle

To remove yellow triangle and and reset flash counter to 0 follow these steps
1. Flash AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo using Odin 1.85 since the kernel is a .tar file .
2. Do full wipe and install RocketRom ICS with the ClockWorkMod Recovery( or other LPY ICS roms).
3. After successful boot , flash DAFUQ_N7000_05272012 Kernel( triangle away works on this kernel ) , which is again a .tar file , so flash it with Odin 1.85.
4. Check if the supersu app is installed , if not download from play store.
5. Install triangleaway.apk .
6. Reset the count
7. If the Samsung logo Screen is not visible then flash param.tar , with pda slot in Odin 1.85.
Hit thanks if i was any help to you

It might be worth running emmc check from play store also, make sure you haven't damaged a section of the chip

Folks... thanks for all your valuable inputs!
I have retry what i have mentioned, but this time round, i did a change of the ROM and Kernel to Criskelo and SpeedMod, and somehow the issue dissapeared
Still pretty much unsure what's the root cause, but, i believed like what you guys have mentioned - partial root

Criskelo ICS v9 trouble
Hi,
I installed criskelo v9 on my phone just now..and titanium backup doesnt work..it says i do not have root permissions
now all my apps are on it and the phone is pretty pointless without it..
I tried installing abyssnote and franco kernel just to see if it works but the update gets stuck at "installing packages" and then reboots to system to the earlier settings..
the cwm i have right now is also not the touch version and my kernel is cf-root so i do not know if i should be reflashing criskelo directly on this to check for any difference..
PLease tell me what i need to do..I am lost and could not find anything after an hour of googling

2. Booted into recovery and installed CWM
After this the UI didnt change to the touch UI as he indicated but was still the button UI
3. ANyway went ahead and installed busybox from the zip
Here the progress was stuck at "unmounting system" till the phone reboot itself to the system..And i still dont have root permissions as per titanium..

Hi, what i really want is root permission so i can use criskelo as my ROM..I was using gb (checkrom v6 with abyss) till now and thought of upgrading to ICS...if i get root permissions i can restore my apps using titanium and my problem wil be solved..titanium is currently saying i dont have root permissions and not restoring my apps...
Of course i will want to change kernels too to mix and match my requirements with battery life later on...

If your desire is to just get rooted, then download the Abysskernel touch zip file* : http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.zip
Saved it in your external SD card and install it using Recovery Mode
After that, your phone should restart and check after if you have SU(Superuser) and CWM installed. If you do have it.. Rest assured your phone is already rooted.

Thats where the problem is..i have tried installing that file multiple times..it gets stuck at "installing update" and reboots into the system..
Within the phone i already have CWM (as the app) in my phone but it says it cannot work coz i need cf-root v5 or newer for it to work...can i use the LRG file as given in this forum to change the kernel?

file name : CF-Root-SGN_XX_DBT_LRG-v5.6-CWM5 (i had chosen the LRG modem while installing criskelo v9)
Are there different kernels for ICS and GB and maybe im trying the wrong file?
Also right now all i want is the root..but i also wanna be able to rollback to gb later and try other roms as per my convenience if i dont like criskelo..so any guidance keeping that in mind for the future will b much appreciated
Thanks..

What is your current ROM now? stock DXLRG? if it is, yes you can flash that kernel on your link (using mobile odin pro). Try to check back after thru CWM if it still gives you the same message or not.
Yes, there are different kernels solely for ICS only and also solely for GB alone. Don't make a mistake in mixing a GB kernel to your ICS Rom or else your phone gets fried.

I am right now on Criskelo ICS v9..
The exact problem on my phone (id mentioned earlier too) is that its like its semi-rooted..things like cpuspy etc work..but titanium backup and moble odin dont..my main motive is to have titanium working so i can use the phone normally..
Now i see that criskelo has just launched v10.1 of the same ROM which has solved the semiroot+wifi issue..download is in progress and It wud be great to know how i can move on to that now..
Abyssnote kernel is not installing (stuck at "installing update" ) and as per my knowledge the phone isnt rooted (coz titanium backup and mobile odin dont work)..
Can i rollback to prerooted gb (i have this file: Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000DDLB2 - nonwipe gb ROM) via PC odin to initiate the whole process again under present circumstances?
Whole process here meaning *prerooted gb+abyssnote kernel+criskelo v10.1 install*..
PS - i did all wipes while installing the present ROM (if it matters)..

Yes, you have what we call it here as a semi rooted phone. Not getting all the permissions to access system files inside. It's a good thing though that Criskelo has a new version to his ROM and that should be appropriate in installing it.
Can you rollback to pre rooted GB? Yes you can. Just pick the appropriate GB ROM. And oh by the way bud, stay clear on fully wiping your phone... Remember your walking in a thin line here when your flashing Custom ICS ROMs...
Just a heads up, that's all.
Cheers!

thanks a lot for the quick response
just a final query..i dont have abyssnote on my phone now..i have whatever criskelo v9 gave me by default (i chose cf-root during install) and im semi-rooted..
Under these conditions can i go ahead with installing the prerooted gb ROM that i mentioned?
and about the heads-up (sorry im still new to flashing ) do u mean i shudnt be wiping everything when i do the flash to the prerooted gb now? (the ROM i have is a no-wipe ROM as i said earlier)

first, let's tackle your second question. If your on Criskelo ICS now, please under NO circumstances, YOU DO NOT FULLY WIPE your phone before going back to the pre rooted GB. There's a bug circulating around the forum and it's called the SUPER BRICK BUG. It'll fry your emMC chip (on your phone) thereby making it as a dead paper bag. There are countless of folks here already that have succumbed to the bug. Most have returned their dead phone back to Samsung Repair for an exchange on the motherboard. That is how deadly this bug can sting your phone.
So stay away from it. (It's better late than never, mind you)
on your first question,
Use PC Odin to downgrade to a pre rooted GB one. That's it.
Cheers!

Did you get rooted installing busybox su? I think you have partial root.
Install busybox from playstore and open it. Press install button. It should be fine.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App

to check if you are fully rooted copy and paste in root / system...install busybox that helped me on ics roms then once your fully rooted flash a safe kernel ..dafuq , speedmod etc then flash new rom . dont do any wiping til on a safe kernel and read instructions fully

@All
Thanks for the your responses
This is what i did after getting some doubts cleared over here:
I rolled back to a prerooted ODEX gb ROM..and installed rocketrom for now..gonna use it for a while and check how people are finding criskelo v10.1..Once im satisfied with that gonna go ahead with flashing it..
Thanks again :good:

thanks! but is it possible if i can just flash a kernel for tw (tw is touch wiz rite?) so that i can boot the phone n place the zips in the phone memory?
if so, which one of the tw kernel should i be using? i will need to flash them using pc odin using the pda tab rite?
thanks man

Try aroma file manager, you can access file manager from rcovery and try moving file to desired location.
OR flash hydrakernel, which is universal, which can boot your device.

Stuck on boot logo after trying to install custom rom...

Help, my Note is stuck on the boot logo after trying to install a custom rom.
I have tried several roms now and non of them pass the boot screen. Getting a little scared now.
Here are the steps I have taken. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
Stock rom
Root and install clockwork mod
nandroid backup
flash abyss kernal
wipe data
wipe cache
install custom rom
stuck on boot logo
I have just tried restoring the nandroid backup and the same thing happens... stuck on boot logo
Have I bricked the phone?
I can still access clockwork if that's any help.

I'm trying a restore via pc odin now.
Not got much hope though, seems to be stuck. The bar doesn't move anymore :'(
Hope an expert will assist.

What stock rom are you on, is it ics? If so nandroid backups and restores are dangerous on stock kernel.
Try flashing stock gb with pc Odin and go from there. If it fails, post at what point ie factory.fs.

Did you use CWM.zip to root your phone and flash Abyss?
Did you do wipe while still on Temp CWM?
If the answer is yes to both, you are Superbricked

After flashing abyss kernel have you rebooted to recovery to do all 3 wipes. ?

I might have flashed Abyss while on temp. Can't really remember.
What do I do now?
Anything else I can try?
Get Amazon to replace it?
Edit: I can't seem to get into clockwork recovery anymore. It just says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
But I can get into the 'downloading' mode.
Help.

Wipes using Temp CWM.zip will result in brick
''Odin just stops at a certain point; yes it's at factory.fs''
that means you have bricked your phone.

So what can I do now?
Return to Samsung/Amazon?
Will they know that it was my fault?

Warranty
Go to recovery mode and check whether its showing binary counter 1 or above, ''Staus'' Official or Custom
If binary count is 0 and status is official you will get warranty
tell service center people that while updating new update via ota , your phone bricked

deleted

Flash GB
just pull out the battery. wait for 10 secs.. reinsert. go back to download mode..
use odin 1.85 and just select the tar.md5 fine in pda section..
Flash Gingerbread rom.

I will try that in the next 20 mins once the stock rom downloads.
To stop this happening again, could someone please, please, please post some noob friendly instructions on how I should flash a custom rom from stock.
I know someone might say 'just google it' or 'there are plenty of guides out there', but I was sure I had the steps nailed down otherwise I wouldn't have tried it.
It would be very helpful.
Especially to see exactly where I went wrong.
Anyway, thanks for all the info.

Yeah, I'm getting the stock GB (UK) rom from there.
Taking a while as a free user.
Thanks.

My Way of root + cwm (i have checked this in ICS only )
1. flashing safe kernels like hydracore 5.4 or Philz kernel 2.7 using PC odin
2. reboot
3. now you have root + CMW
4. open super su / superuse app
5. check for root access using Root Checker
6. Flash Supersu.zip in CMW if experience any root issues
7. now will be having stock ics with safe kernel and cwm.

Then what do I do?
Sorry, want to be as clear as possible.

Flashing Any Custom Roms
1. Flash Any Safe Kernel and reboot to recovery
2. do all 3 wipes (wipe data/factory, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache)
3. Flash custom rom.zip
4. reboot
5. enjoy new custom rom

@ anoopva
Thank you for all your valuable info.
I may put it to use if I have the courage to risk a replacement phone.
Will update thread shortly on how flashing to GB goes.
I won't hold my breath.

You won't be able to flash a ROM anymore. Odin will get stuck. DO NOT attempt to flash a custom kernel through PC Odin. It will RAISE your flash counter and then it will be obvious that you have messed with your phone, so warranty will be voided! There is another way to get recovery, just wait.....

Yes, just found that it got stuck.
Got further than with the stock ICS rom.
So do I have any options other than to return the phone?
