How to root the note from step one?

Hi guys. I'm quite a new note user. Lose everything that this phone has to offer. But I just want to take it a notch up. I want to try custom roms and everything. But I need help with rooting my phone first. Anyone kind enough to help me step by step?
Thanks in an advance.
Power to the note!

I was new to the note a week ago and followed THIS guide. Scroll down to where it says "2. I Want ROOT + CWM" and follow it from there. That is assuming you want cwm (clockworkmod recovery) which i use to flash the roms.
Its simple enough to follow and now im happily running on rocket rom v19

Ok, u've got then several Methods:
1st and best: Forum Search!
2: Another Kernel comes with root and ClockWorkMod, CF-ROOT by chainfire
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
3: Easy Rooting Toolkit (only root no other modifications on ur system) by DooMLoRD:
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
All this are good guides, just try.
If you want Root and a Custom rom, u've got:
4: Flash a ROM with pre-root:
Maybe one of this:
1: CheckROM Revo NoteHD
2: SheepROM
3: RocketROM (my preferred one )
4: ROMOW
5: Stock ROOT ROM (Such as XXLA4)
Just have a look at them.
I hope i helped you, whed i've done so, pls click Thanks-Button
And sorry for my english...

I am new to the Note too. After reading some threads I think the best way to start is rooting and flashing the CF-Root kernel by chainfire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 using method 1.2 if possible with your firmware version.
Don't forget to
- note your firmware version before doing anything
- make a CWM-backup after flashing CF-Root kernel (and copy it to PC)
- make a backup of your /efs folder (this is where your IMEI and other important stuff are stored, read this to learn how)
in case something goes wrong and you want to restore.
Don't flash custom roms using PC Odin, flash them using CWM or Mobile Odin because flashing custom roms with PC Odin will make the bootscreen show a yellow triangle and change the binary counter in download mode, both will shout "hey I messed with my phone" at the customer service in case you got an warranty issue.

[Q] if compatible

hello mates...
it is compatible to root the LC1 GB..?

Root Stock ICS ROM
This method works on the released ICS rom from Germany and I would expect it to work for the rest of the ICS roms due for release..
This method does not increase the binary counter or causes a yellow exclamation mark
Rooting
Download the Files first and put in your SDCARD [CWM zip][ SU-Busybox-Installer.zip][ SU-Uninstaller-signed.zip]
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
(Touch the screen as if you are using the phone to choose the options)
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
[*]Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD
[*]Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
[*]Reboot
[*]You are done and now your device is Rooted

Not clear what you want to do.
Do you want to root an unrooted LC1 GB?

Yes...i want to root the lc1 by this procedure...its posible or not....

You should follow the instructions in the other pinned thread from Dr. Ketan.
This one here is for ICS.
If you are on a LC1: Download Mobile Odin Pro and the LC1-kernel from Chainfire's thread and install the extracted zImage with it.
I do this all the time before installing a new ICS ROM.
But again: read the above thread and the instructions carefully.

Thanks..but my note is revive from hardbrick..it now loss 3gigabyte...
My worried is downgrading via odin pc...
Its possible to encounter again to hang on to factoryfs?

1. you bricked your device already - so I think it's ok to assume you didn't really read the warning threads how to flash in a save way.
2. you want to do it again - because it's obvious you didn't read or understand what is written there
3. I really like to help, but here I'm getting afraid to give hints. Please read the pinned threads in the development forum and follow the instructions there.
"downgrading": Odin doesn't know wether you want down- or upgrading. More interesting: downgrading from LC1 to what version?

You're quite special, aren't you? Expecting an answer after that statement.
LC1: I use stock LC1 (with PC Odin) and after that I install CF Kernel with Mobile Odin Pro for rooting and permanent CWM. Then I install Abyss Kernel from CWM as base for new ICS Roms.

where to start

I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question.
I want to know how to make a back up of my factory rom before flashing my galaxy mini.
thanks in advance.

flash a custom recovery with odin and then go into recovery mode and do a backup of your current rom (stock or custom no matters )

First of all, you should start reading before posting.. Development thread is not a place for this kind of question. Post in general section. Second, factory rom cannot be backed up by CWM unlike the higher end phones.. You will always have to flash a stock rom via PC Odin to return to your factory rom.. Please do not reply to my post..

try this one
or you can try this one : http://techpandorabox.wordpress.com...-complete-backup-before-making-a-rom-android/ :good:

If you're not yet on gingerbread, better update first your device by following this LINK.
After updating, flash CWM by following this LINK.
Now that you're all set, you can now flash a custom firmware. Pick whatever you want that suits your interest well.
As for me I suggest EMANON or MIUI GB.

[Q] Re-flashing GT-N7000 with Odin3...

Hello,
I have to tell you that I'm completely new at this, and therefore even more uncertain to start doing the job I think that needs to be done, without having you guys consulted first.
Two weeks earlier, after reading and studying the internet for lots and lots of hours, I decided to flash my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (Netherlands), using the Odin3 (v.1.83) software, with the downloaded German firmware version: N7000XXLSZ_N7000OXALSZ_DBT. And fortunately, to my own big surprise, everything just worked out fine and I’m having Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 installed and running in Dutch.
A few days ago, I read the message on the internet that for the Note GT-N7000, the Dutch firmware version: N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN, finally became available and was now to be downloaded here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ . And so I did…
As I stated before, I am completely new at this and here are some questions I would like you to help me out with:
1. A little voice in my head keeps saying, that I should “re-flash” my Note again to have the right firmware for my smartphone. Although I would very much like that, would you also advise me to do so?
2. If so, would it be just as simple, using Odin3 again, as I did before (so: “just flash”) or am I thinking too simple now? So, whatever the answer, could you please explain me the procedure I should follow to have the Dutch firmware installed – if so advised by you?
3. I am also thinking about rooting my Note. I have seen several instruction videos on the internet, but most of them were explaining about rooting the Note that still had the Android Ice Cream firmware installed. I am not sure if I could “simply follow” that procedure, let alone, if the rooting software the videos are talking about would also work on an Android Jelly Bean smartphone?
4. If Odin3 also is capable of rooting my smartphone, would it be easier for me (being a novice) to use Odin3 as well for this purpose?
5. Would you please be so kind to advise me in this matter as well with the procedure for me to be followed and the software to be downloaded and/or used?
I really hope to hear real soon from you.
Thank you!
Robert.

1. there is not much of a difference between the 2 firmwares apart from a few widgets and lock screen shortcuts ( i think). its up to you if you want.
2. yes same procedure will just do fine for the new firmware too. detailed tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
3. easiest way is using one of these kernels. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191. it will auto root and safe.. procedure requires an SD card. same explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 procedure 1A
4. odin can be used to root but it will cause the counter to raise and yellow triangle at boot... so use the 1A method
5. As explained above

Thank you for your swift reply.
Advising me to use the "1A method", it says:
Installation
1.a Pre installation : (For clean installation, optional)
- Make backup with Titanium Backup or other similiar app.
- First flash GB ROM if you are on any other ICS/Custom ROM
- wipe cache, data from recovery on GB ROM
Would it be safe for me to think that, flashing my Note again, the "1A method" does not apply to me at this moment since I already have the JB ROM (4.1.2) installed and running? Also, when I flashed my Note earlier with the JB ROM (4.1.2) through Odin3, all the data on my phone was kept intact. Was I lucky here, or does that all make sence?
Now, reading most of these forums, I often stumble upon the word "kernel", which frightens me a bit because these "kernels" mostly need to be downloaded for use. What is it, talking about kernels, that you are really talking about then? I mean, I don't suppose that a kernel is the same as my N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN firmware?
You also advised me to make use of this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 but, using this link, I don't see and/or understand WHAT I should be downloading or WHERE I should be downloading this kernel.
Could you PLEASE (!) take me by the hand here (step by step), before I mess everything up and with that, killing my Note?
I hope to hear from you again soon.
Thank you!
Robert,

- 1A is not from the link you are referring to.. its in the 3rd step.. to root.. donot follow 1A from the first link. its not needed.
- yes.. even when you flash the Dutch rom.. it will be intact if you donot do a wipe..
- the kernel i linked you to is a safe kernel which when installed auto roots the device and install CWM recovery..
here is a link to the LSZ kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39105835&postcount=2749

OK! Thank you again!
Excuse me for still having some small questions left, although I begin seeing the light...
I've downloaded the kernel: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.88.2-signed (name of the RAR-file). Should I use both the Dutch ROM and the downloaded kernel-file to have them both installed, if so - in which follow-up?, or am I talking non sence here? Or, is the Dutch Rom included in the kernel-file?
I cannot start with the procedure right away, because I have to go to work now; maybe later tonight. I'll also have to find out first how to install the kernell through Odin3, unless ofcourse you could tell me right away.
Anyway, thank you for your help so far.
Again, I hope to hear from you - provided I'm not annoying you!
Robert

Its just the kernel,., its to root your phone.. you can use it on the current rom you have or later after installing the new rom.
is the Dutch Rom included in the kernel-file?

No.. considering the fact that rom size >= 900 MB and kernel size >= 8MB

Thank you again! But I am afraid, I still need your help .
After unzipping the Kernel file in a map on my desktop (see picture), I see three maps with several maps and more files included and the "zImage" file (which I think is the actual Kernel file?). Could you please tell me what to do next to let it all work within Odin3? Which file(s) should I pick and how and where do I connect them to Odin3? In short: ehhh... help?:crying:
Maybe I am making too much trouble out of it and am I seeing bears on the road that aren't even there - If so, I appologize. But please, take me by the hand here... A small relief however: I AM learning from your answers...
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you!

you donot need to unzip it.. just copy that file onto the ext sd card.. boot into recovery and choose apply update from external storage..

[Q] Changing ROM plus rooting plus other apps

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
Build info: Wed Jul 11 19:41:13 KST 2012
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!
