[Q] is there a way to flash CM9 based rom from ICS 4.0.4 ?

Hello guyez ,,
First of all .. i have searched for an answer before making this thread but i didn't find a clear one ..
Second ..
i'm on KingDroid v5.1 ~> 4.0.4 with GL NoteCore Kernel . and i'm thinking to flash CM9 based rom like Paranoid Android ..
the question is .. how can i install Paranoid android from ICS without bricking my note ? and how to go back to ICS if i want to ?
what i know is to go back to GB first then root then flash Paranoid .. i'm asking if there is a way to install it directly from ICS
can i use the same way installing ICS over ICS by Abyss 4.2 redpill ?
thanks in advance

Sorry but read a lot about bricking their note because they flash the paranoid or cm9 while in ics. But if you use abyss then its ok, im not pretty sure about this abyss method because i never experienced it myself. Better flash gb first if were you.

Nothing To Worry. I always use this way to flash any rom and never had a problem as Abyss use a safe GB kernel... Flashing GB then re-rooting and upgrading it a long process as it is not suitable for the noobs because they don't know how to complete the whole process....

I had read that ics kernel cannot handle the process of flashing the cm9 based rom, so by flashing a gb kernel then it ok. I never read the way of flashing cm9 base rom by only using abyss, i read it the first time from you, thank you for that info.

CM9 is a safe kernel so you don't have to flash Abyss. Just do this...
- boot in Recovery
- FullWipe
- Flash ROM
- reboot system

I agree with sahilarora2003. if you read the sticky on Brickbug, it clearly mentions that
1- Never Wipe/ Restore using CWM when in an unsafe ICS Kernel. Always flash a safe Kernel. Details are provided in the sticky
2- CM9 is a safe Kernel. If you are on CM9 you can very well flash any ROM you desire. The steps given by sahilarora2003 are correct. However, it is always better to follow the specific instructions given by the ROM developer in his original thread just to be on a safer side.
3- In case you want to revert back to ICS from CM9 you dont need Abyss as CM9 kernel is safe. But for the other way round, i.e., going from ICS to CM9, its better to be first on a safe Kernel as doing a Full Wipe in ICS is a no no....

Is there a pit file when you flash? Because it is not recomendable to check the repartition if there is no pit file. How many files when you flash the gb rom?
Sorry you never yet flash the gb rom. Dont tick the repartition if there no pit file.
Your gb must be rooted and have CMW recovery to flash the custom rom. This is if your already in gb rom, yes you can wipe data cache and dalvik before flashing the custom rom.

[Q] Gnote N7000 showing 799 MB RAM

I am on ICS 4.0.4 Stock ROM; I flashed 3.0.36_Hydracore_v5.34 (screenshot attached)
and now my Gnote is showing only 799 MB ram available in RAM Status.
How can I get back my total RAM ?
Also I want to know Can I flash stable custom ROMs like CyanogenMod 9.1.0
or nightly jellyBin ROM safely without loosing my apps and settings?
Please Help
Thanks in Advance

different kernels show different ram values, some is used by the system so you can never see full
stock shows 808
notecore shows more than that... its normal
---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------
no.. you need to make a full backup of your apps and data before installing custom roms

Yes simply flash the same rom you were on right now and you will get the stock kernel and its not required to do a factory reset

You are on hydracore v5.4,and want to flash hydracore v7,then why were you thinking about stock kernel
And to go to cm9,you need to wipe the data

use titanium backup. you will never loose your apps and data

4.1.2 ZSLM5 kernel and rooting

Can I root this version:
N7000ZSLM5_N7000OZSLM5_TGY
With superSU-busybox-installer?
And after that I can use to access CWM features Philz-cwm?
If rooted, will I be able to flash hydracore?

You just need to download PhilZ ZSLM5 kernel, reboot into stock recovery, flash kernel, then restart device. And thats it, you are safe and rooted all in one. (follow instructions in OP of Philz thread, everything is explained)
After that, dont flash any kernel please, you will have problems, Hydracore is ICS kernel, and it will not work properly on your ZSLM5 rom.
For now, the best one is PhilZ kernel

You can directly root with Philz LM5 kernel.. just flash it using stock recovery and you will get root and CWM.. no you cannot use hydracore on JB TW rom

Can you provide links to this kernel?

LOL we posted at the same time :silly:. I think that he downloaded ROM Manager to boot into CWM and not to install it because he says that he uses CoCore kernel. So just flashing the reboot-system-cwm.zip file should be enough.

That happened to me too but for other reazons. I installed this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scartech.holoreboot app from market, then I went to recovery using the app and got stucked in CWM. Strange thing it's I'm still using a previous version of cocore kernel (4.4) but I fixed that using the same .zip

You 100 % sure it was ICS? Install the rom you were on again using odin. Its will put back the original kernel. Just dont wipe while on ICS stock kernel.

Thank you so much for your help!
Can you suggest me a good rom to install, without doing same errors!? (maybe this could be my last question! )

In this case you just have to flash the JB Speedmod kernel the same way you flash previous one. The phone is not booting because of having an ICS kernel on JB rom.

If you want all the Samsung features then check AryaMod rom.
If you are OK with AOSP, cm 10.2 or omni 4.4 are great roms. It's up to you to try and decide which one suits you the best.
This time for rooting and cwm, use Philz kernel. Methods and explanation in his thread in the Original Development Section.

Sure, I'm very ok with AOSP and I was thinking about cm 10.2!
Please, clear me up if first of all I have to install the Philz kernel or the rom cm 10.2! (that wasn't the last question! )

First root using Philz kernel.. Then back up your efs folder. Then flash the rom or your choice. Custom rom can only be flashed using cwm recovery.

AryaMod v3 is very good and smooth stock LTA based TW rom. I'm on it since it was issued. As the owner set v4 will be issued in few days. You can try it.
