[Q] How to install CWM on stock 2.3.3 (not rooted) ? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I got a SGS for my wife and it has stock provider's 2.3.3 ROM.
I want to preserve it, so I need to install CWM somehow (without root), do a clean NANDROID backup, then flash in CWM the "GamerzROM Legend Edition v2.0" without rooting the phone first.
I'm guessing this new rom comes with ROOT so no need for flash rooted kernels via ODIN ...
How can this be achieved ?

You must root first

in order to root i need to upgrade to 2.3.6 first, right ?

No

Hi,
I don't know how to instal CWM without root! but you can flash semaphore kernel with Odin and you have root and CWM.
Download the tar file containing the kernel from here
Start Odin application
Select the tar file as PDA (do NOT select Re-Partition)
Put the phone in download mode
Connect your phone through USB to your PC and wait for the ID:COM to become yellow
Press start button
I hope it helps!:good:

[Q] Least effort phone reset :-)

Hello, I need to go back from LP1 ICS (imilka) to stock rom, which is the easiest way to do that?
I do not have a Windows PC and no PC Odin for that reason, could I flash one of the stock roms with Mobile Odin?
Many thanks

Hi, as far as I can tell the procedure goes like this. You flash AbyssNote http://www.mediafire.com/?o2yi462tby2lzan
Then you restart recovery. Now full wipe and then you can flash stock rom or restore your nandroid backup. I hope this helps.

Also to know how to use mobile odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
Yes you can use mobile odin / cwm to flash stock rom.
I recommend wipe cache n data before n after switching custom to stock n wise versa.

hello,
yes flashing abyss with mobile odin worked fine, had to extract the zImage from the zip file first
will install rom now via recovery when download is finished, thx guys
Just mobile odin is enough
1.extract rom(stock) file to tar.md5 n place on sd card
2.open mobile odin, select open file n point to rom file.
3. enable ever root option if you want to keep root intact
4flash
Done
You need nothing to do with abyss kernel
Still u ned any clearance, download guide from last link on my signature, extract it. You will find a file 'update rom using mobile odin' in new folder.

Dafuq are intruding in my topic?!
if you are saying you want to downgrade to GB from ICS, then you should probably
1. download and flash abyss kernel v4.2 thru CWM
2. reboot into recovery
3. flash GB ROM
4. reboot
Mobile Odin should be a safe way back from imilka....
provided you are 100% certain your Note is fully rooted.
Try to paste a file (any file) into /system folder using any explorer with root permissions. If you succeed, you have root.
If not, stay well away from Mobile Odin or any type of CWMR retreat.
Use PC Odin.

Hi chasmodo, i has flashed alba ics rom. After succesfully installed this rom, i cant do copy and paste in the system by using root explorer.
I still can use titanium back up and also able to boot into cwm. it is mean my phone only have half rooted? can i flash another kernel.thru mobile or cwm?
For your infomation, i have fully rooted gb rom before flashed alba rom.

Partial root is bad news. Do not use either Mobile Odin or CWMR.
Use PC Odin.

[Q] Remove CWM from kernel after ICS Root?

Hay all,
I've just rooted my SGN by using this method: here
I want to now remove CWM-Recovery from my phone as it has no more use for me (can't safely make back-ups with ICS at the moment). Am I right in saying that I can use Mobile ODIN to flash a stock version of my kernel and that will remove CWM-Recovery from my phone?
If so, does anyone also have a copy of the stock version of my kernel that they can upload (see attached image)?
Why don't you read "Unrooting" part of the instructions from the same link you have supplied?
BTW you have the very same same stock kernel you started from on your phone right now.
The unrooting part of those instructions is for removing busy box and supersu which I dont wish to do...
I am only looking to remove CWM-Recovery and I am led to believe that flashing the kernel with the stock kernel will remove CWM-Recovery but leave root intact.
I am aware that the kernel showing in the picture is the stock one, but I dont have that stock kernel with which to flash using Mobile ODIN. I only have the GB one which will not work.

Alternative Option...
Ok... Would this work as an alternative?
I download the full stock ICS ROM from here.
Then install them on my phone using Mobile ODIN Pro and Enable EverRoot, Inject Superuser and Inject Mobile Odin. Would that work?
Many thanks all.

About stock ics 4.0.4

I wanna ask somthing about galaxy note
Now am running stock 4.0.3 rooted with CF-root and flashed speed mod kernal
Now i want to update my note to stock 4.0.4
With this kernal.
can anyone tell me how step by step?
Thanks 4 all

You will not be able to update via KIES / OTA with your setup (same as mine)
Options are;
- Flash the custom Kernel back in via CWM
- Downgrade to Stock GB and update via KIES / OTA from there then root and add desired kernel
- Flash the 4.0.4 Stock ROM via PC Odin.
Cheers
I was using the same configuration i.e. ICS stock 4.0.3 with speedmod kernel. I updated to 4.0.4 via mobile odin (4.0.4 downloaded from dr.ketan stock rom -german open). Speedmod has eMMC cap erase disable so it is safe to flash via mobile odin from 4.0.3 with speedmod kernel to 4.0.4.
now i m on ics 4.0.4 with speedmod k3-9

Nice - I know SpeedMod has the eMMC Cap Erase disabled, I've just never had the balls to test it out

before anything, just a precaution. Always remember to backup your phone. Now the steps to flash to 4.0.4 thru mobile odin
1. download your stock 4.0.4 ics firmware specific to your region in www.samfirmware.com in your pc or laptop
2. Extract the zip file you've downloaded, it should have the tar.md5 inside. and copy the tar.md5 file to your external sd card.
3. using mobile odin, navigate to OPEN file and go to the destination /folder where you've saved the tar.md5 file (inside your sdcard)
4. In mobile odin, scroll down and tap on Flash fimrware. Hit continue and it will flash your phone after that to the latest stock 4.0.4 ROM.
You don't need to perform a factory reset.
Really thank u man i will do that now

Hi. I hope it is ok to ask something here about icw 4.0.4 instead of posting a new thread...
I have tried the stock rom for open german ics 4.04 and the hongkong ics 4.04 on my galaxy note. I thought international version stock rom should have minor differences only, but it turns out that these two stock roms are quiet different.
Open germany version has pop up video with the old gallery apk.
Hongkong version has NO pop up video but came with a very nice new gallery apk.
I wonder which ics 4.0.4 region/version is the most complete rom?
If there are non, how can I combine them?
Thanks
