When my SGN was in ICS Criskelo v3 I did the following steps suggested by this forum
1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card
Also download the GB Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.
2. reboot to CWMR and do a backup of your current system
3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery
4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
6. you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Recovery
7. factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
9. flash the GB Rom of your choice
10. reboot and let the Rom settle for a couple of minutes
It worked for my SGN. I am not sure if it will work with your ICS rom.

I am not sure if it is safe, but I reverted to GB from LPY using PC odin.
No problem.

I'm in a similar situation: stock LPY, rooted with temp CWM. The thing is that I did a full wipe with stock recovery a few days ago. How could I know if my eMMc is damaged? being a flashaholic in rehab, i don't want to risk my note... is it safe for me to flash, say, singapore LC2 with pc Odin??

flashing back to GB then ICS("partial"/full root problem)

Hi,
i came from CheckROM GB to ICS ROM.Initially tried both Criskelo's and Kingdroid and got stuck in nandroid backups and install zip into system.Hangs.Found out that the problem is partial root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828538.
Tried to reflash ROM with CF kernel,install SuperSU,superuser all failed
So right now i am going back to GB first to install ICS ROM then custom ICS ROM to get full root.
I looked at dr. ketan's thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 and downloaded the pre-rooted ROM SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip. I would like to claify something before i proceed.
-Currently on Kindroid + CF root kernel.I can just go ahead and start flashing the pre-rooted GB ROM right?safe?
-So after installation,"Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery"-Wipe everything from recovery meaning factory reset?
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)-any ICS ROM?

1-As such there is no issue to flash any GB ROM on Any stock/custom ROM. yes it is safe.
2- yes it will be factory reset, when you wipe data.
3-This step is righ if you want to use Mobile Odin Pro for stock ICS (for custom ROM you need to use CWM, not mobile odin)

Thanks for quick reply.
As by searching i am going to follow this step by step guide>http://www.geekyandroid.com/2012/05/how-to-downgrade-ics-on-samsung-galaxy.html (Have to turn OFF USB debugging?)
Does this pre-rooted ROM come with CWM?Once i factory reset it,does it retain root?

Yes said prerooted ROM having CWM
And hard reset doesn't erase root/CWM
Humble request, stick to XDA. Difficult to give opinion on all guides around planet.

Ha,OK..just randomly searching ard on google for downgrade steps.
Do u have a step by step guide on the GB downgrade part,the one i saw on yr sig is after flashing back to ICS.thanks for yr help!

Post #2 of first link on my signature have guide how to Install rootable GB ROM, here same way you can flash prerooted GB ROM.

OK just successfully flashed back to GB..Thanks!
sorry can i ask i can download any ics ROM?is there any recommendation?
For kernel selection,is it safe not to select CF root?will be get the partial root problem again?

You can have any stock ics
Use notecore kernel.

Ok.thanks.So thankful for yr patience and help!
In summary
I downloaded ICS stock ROM + NoteCore Kernel,open Mobile Odin,Flash them.So I would have Rooted ICS with custom kernel
then if i would like custom ICS ROM,i flash in CWM after install stock ROM:
-Need full wipe?
-is abyss kernel essential for flashing?
-OK to flash kernels other than CF root for custom ROM,root will stay intact?

Q Can i format /boot from CWR and be able to go into download mode?(KK4root and CWR?)

Hey there Xda,
I'm having an issue with my phone, whenever i install a Jelly Bean Rom(coming from CM9), 1) the lock screen is completely gone(it is checked on) 2) no notications come 3) no recent menu pops open.
I am running GB boot-loader (from KF1) and someone suggested to update to the latest.
So i would like to format everything on my cellphone (manual internal sdcard format using mount and PC) as well as formatting the /boot from CWR.
Before i go ahead and do that, i would like to make sure that it is still possible to go into download mode.
My plan is to format everything and /boot, then Odin one click to KK4 (i don't know the differences between KK4 and the others; the good or bad, does anyone know?)
Do i have to odin back to jf6 then kies it to kk4 ????
Then root the phone using something, i haven't found a simple method of rooting and installing CWR (if you know one, let me know)
Then from there flash a jelly bean kernel, reboot into recovery and flash a ROM.
What do yall think, good? bad? ugly?
any help would be appreciated.

Try flashing UCKK4 (download from the master stock collection thread) and then corn kernel. It has cwm recovery built-in. Then you should be able to flash a JB rom. If it doesn't work, first flash CM9 and then a JB rom.

[Q] JB to GB downgrade failure?

So, this is what happened. I first upgraded to the latest official JB 4.1.2 XXLSA firmware. I noticed that it still wasn't as fast as I'd like, and wanted to try a custom ROM instead. I read through the guides in here and get that I have to downgrade to a GB ROM first in order for me not to hardbrick my phone. So, I download "N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries" from that list over stock ROM's in the Q&A root guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 . I follow the flashing guide to the letter, puts my phone in download mode, runs the flash via Odin, the phone restarts, and everything goes south. Basically this happens: When I start my phone it get's to the point in the GB initial startup where I'm to touch the Android to start, but then all it does is throw messages at me about this service and that service having stopped responding, untill the phone reboots. So now I have reflashed back to the JB ROM.
So basically, what am I doing wrong, and what can I do to make a proper downgrade so I can get rooted, install CWM and get down and get it on with some custom ROM's?
Thx in advance!

Same happened with me. I flashed GB and was getting force close messages. But not a big problem. Just flash GB rom again. And after flashing just delete all user data from recovery and reboot. U wont get those messages any more.

You always need to WIPE data / factory reset after downgrading from JB .. GB is safe to go ahead.. if you choose ICS then first flash a safe kernel and then do wipe

It seems to me that KK5 is non wipe, which explains why you got those messages. The rest is detailed in nokiamodeln91's message BTW, JB is still not official for our Notes. What you installed was a leak with a safe kernel (if it was Philz).

Exactly.

I had this issue too when downgrading to GB. Wipe Cache and Dalvik and you should be ok from then on.

Wow. A lot of replies in just a single day. You guys are awesome
Now you say that the KK5 is non-wipe. Are there any GB-roms which are wipe, so to speak? Or do I have to do the flash to GB, enter recovery, wipe cache partition and do wipe/factory reset, then reboot into a now working phone, set up for root with USB and so forth, root and install CWM, copy the custom ROM to my SD-card (gonna go for ParanoidAndroid) as well as Google services if I want those, and then install them via CWM/Mobile Odin?

GB LC1 is wipe. But if you want PA (which is an excellent choice) just flash a CM10 kernel in your recovery (if your recovery is safe, like GB for example). Then follow Utacka's instructions for the installation.

But if I want CWM I should do root and install CWM there? And then flash the custom ROM from CWM?

The CM10 kernel comes with its own recovery where you can flash from. If you have root issues, just flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip. In any case don't flash from stock ICS with CMW.zip: if you are on ICS and not rooted flash the relevant Philz kernel (which is safe and will give you root and CWM) then the CM10 kernel.
Edit: what ROM do you have now?

I use the 4.1.2 XXLSA ROM
Btw, anyone knows where I can download the Google Services Framework so I can install it alongside Paranoid Android? I have been led to believe it's not included as per default
Thx for all the replies!!

If you have downloaded the xxlsa rom then it's inside the rom zip file. Path system/app/GoogleServicesFramework

Need help restoring everything to stock

Hello Guys!
I will sell my note today and i dont know how to install stock recovery etc.
On the device runs CM10 with CWM installed.
I know that i can flash stock rom but what is with the recovery system etc?
Should i flash with Odin from PC or with CWM?
Can you guys give me some help to change everything to stock back?
Thanks in advance!

Install a stock Rom (ICS or GB) from sammobile.com (or search here in Dr. Ketan's threads) with the PC version of Odin. Save your data on the internal SD card, after you can format it from within the new installed stock Rom.
Recovery is stock too then.
