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.

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

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.

Wht i understand is you want to flash a custom ICS rom on your note.
First of all..
Get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Stick with the instructions.
After doing this you will have root+cwm installed on your lovely note.
Now download Abyss 4.2 from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424
Now download custom ics rom from android development section and put it in your phone sd card or external card.
Reboot into recovery.
Flash abyss 4.2
Go to advanced and reboot recovery.
Now you have abyss redpill recovery or touch cwm.
Do all 3 wipes. Cache, Dalvik and data.
Flash rom
Reboot system

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

I followed the instructions to the T.. Root permissions didnt happen..Here's what i did..
1. Downloaded CWM and busybox and placed them where he said
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..
Where did i go wrong?

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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
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!

Under these conditions can i go ahead with installing the prerooted gb ROM that i mentioned?

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!

@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..

I rooted my phone and installed CWM.
However rooting and installing roms are not for me. So I want to go back to my warranty.
How can I unroot and remove CWM and go back to my warranty, I still have 21 months of warranty period and I dont want to burn it
I found how to unroot, installing unroot file and setuping it like rooting but how to remove CWM.
Thx a lot
Taha
if you have a stock rom then flash it with Odin
else for unrooting first remove superuser app then busybox and sqlite3 then su and you will be unrooted
for going to stock recovery you will need its img and have to flash with odin
weird thing I only had superuser. after putting unroot.zip into my sdcard.
I turn off my device and go to the recovery - tadaaa CWM is gone.
What can cause this?
How I install CWM? Put the cwm into sd card and installed it via recovery menu.
Thx a lot

I found this file in this forum and looks like it did the job. I check with root checker and it says I'm not rooted.
But I'm confused about CWM. How it deleted itself. It deleted itself before unrooting process.
I don't have the answer
I guess flashing a stock firmware gives you the stock recovery. So its obvious that you'll lose CWM.

Google Search it. Go to your phone's settings>about>baseband version. Then Google search the baseband version and look for a download or a guide. Afterwards download the file and flash it with Odin.

Hey guys,
I have rooted the GNote N7000 using CWM but haven't flashed any custom room. Still on official 4.0.4 rom. (Rooted as I wanted to put a ported Google Now app on it).
Now I want to do a factory reset. Is it safe to do so? Do I need to unroot it first?
Second, If i take it to samsung for repair under warranty, can i take the phone back in its current rooted (with official rom) status? Or do i have to unroot it first?
Many thanks,
B.
Root breaks your warranty. You have to unroot the note.
Btw you should move (or ask to some moderator) this topic in q/a section, or in general.
Dev section is only for custom roms, kernels and mods

You say you are rooted.. What kernel are you on ? if its the stock ICS kernel then its not safe at all to do a factory reset. First flash a safe kernel and then do a factory reset and then unroot by flashing the stock rom again to remove all traces of rooting for warranty
also as we dont know what method you used to root : go into download mode and check the binary counter if its 0 for warranty

Hi - when I purchased the Note (N7000) it's on stock 2.3 rom, then I updated it to ICS 4.0.4 via Kies (hence stock rom) and then rooted by going into CWM mode and flashed CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip.
All I did was rooting the phone using CWM, and I've never used Odin and flashed any custom ROM. I suppose I am on official Kernel? In the phone setting > about phone: it says baseband version: N7000XXLRB, Kernel: 3.0.15-N7000ZSLPM-CL901577
1. How do I flash a safe kernel if that is required?
2. How do I go to download mode to check the binary counter?
3. Do I have to flash stock rom to unroot? (I am not on any custom rom). If not, how do I unroot?
Thanks guys for your help! I got nexus 4 and am trying to reset this phone to then give my mom for xmas! Your urgent help is much appreciated! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
1. To flash a safe kernel you can either install using mobile odin or the Philz kernel zip file from stock recovery. This will be needed if you want to reset your phone as doing wipe of stock ics kernel is unsafe.
2. Vol down + power + home then Vol up to continue
3.to un root you can flash the whole Rom again using pc odin.

1. To flash a safe kernel you can either install using mobile odin or the Philz kernel zip file from stock recovery. This will be needed if you want to reset your phone as doing wipe of stock ics kernel is unsafe.
2. Vol down + power + home then Vol up to continue
3.to un root you can flash the whole Rom again using pc odin.

Thanks nokiamodeln91. So what i need to do now, is to flash a safe kernel, then reset the phone (by going to settings > backup and reset > factory data reset), then flash the whole stock rom to the phone to bring it back to unroot, correct?
2 more questions:
1. Where can I find this safe kernel to flash? Is it an official kernel? If it's not official, would that be an issue when the handset is set for warranty later down the road with an unofficial kernel?
2. Will flashing the stock rom back raise any flash counter? I will just use the latest stock rom from sammobile?
Thanks!
Once you flash a safe kernel boot into into recovery and do a wipe data factory reset.
Safe kernel ex. Philz, hydracore.. Look in the android original Dev section. You will find them
There are custom safe kernel and cannot be there on phone for warranty.
For warranty, you will need to flash the stock Rom using odin and will remove all the root add stock kernel back.
Will not raise counter.

Just wondering, if I have to flash the stock rom which will overwrite everything on the phone including the kernel anyway, could I not just skip the first step: (flashing a safe (unofficial) kernel to factory reset the phone),
and just do the flashing stock rom using odin which will just bring everything back to stock (including wiping everything out)?
No. Installing new Rom will not wipe everything unless you install a wipe Rom. And doing a faculty reset is not safe on stock ics kernels.

I am actually not very good at this and am worried i may brick the device. Can I just use the superuser app's 'fully unroot' option to unroot the Note, then take it back to samsung service centre for them to fully wipe my device and also load the latest rom for me? (They confirm that can do it for free for my note which is still under warranty)
Only concern for me is that, after i use 'fully unroot' feature in superuser, will samsung still be able to tell this rom has been modified and refuse to service it? I can confirm that on my device current flash counter is 0 (no), and it is showing as official samsung rom.
Uninstall apps that need root access and delete their folders before unrooting through superuser app.

thats the reason why I asked to confirm.....
if you wiped on stock ics rom in stock recovery then it means your phone is bricked.
Phone getting stuck on factory fs during flash via pc odin is another confirmation.

If you have warranty then go to service centre and get motherboard replaced ( a better option) but tell them you were trying for update and phone did not reboot.
ok, recovery mode (CWM) is on now

We need to be clear here. Did the wipe occur on stock 3e ICS recovery, Which is NOT a CWM recovery. OR did the wipe happen AFTER reflashing CWM.zip (the one from you-tube or wherever - originally used to root phone).
If the latter, then we are talking about a true SUPERBRICK. ie: repartition or new MOBO being only options.

no bro, no warranty left. too much pain bro...... i really love the note. and still trying to brig it back to life. what about ur device?
Mine got replaced under warranty. You need repartition or fork out big bucks for new MOBO. Try hg42's method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26428986
