[Q] Rooting a Stock ROM

Hi to all
I wish to root my Note (GT-N7000) and am trying to follow the method described in Dr Katan's post here.
Download the [CWM zip] and put in your Ext SDCARD ] And [ SUPERSU-Busybox-Installer.zip] to SD card (internal memory)
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage. (use vol up/down to select, power to enter)
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard (Now use touch function to select choice)
Choose and Install SUPERSU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Rooted

I am running the following stock ROM:-
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband Version
N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number
IML74K.XXLQ2
When I hold the power button, I don't see any 'Recovery' option (The only options are 'Silent mode', 'Data network mode', 'Flight mode', 'Power off' and 'Restart'). What am I missing/doing wrong..?
Many thanks to anyone who can help.
PS. Apologies for posting this in the Q&A section. I'm relatively new so can't yet make a post in the relevant development thread.

only custom ROM users get the APM (advanced power menu)
you will have to do it manually, Power off the phone and hold volume UP + Home + Power all at once
let go when you see the GT-N7000 screen

Thankyou VERY much. I did it, but haven't tried the rooting procedure yet. In the recovery menu, I saw a message about CSC being successfully applied. What does this mean...?

not sure what CSC stands for but it happens to us all, Dont worry about it, Its a good thing that it was applied successfully

Csc is country sales code. And yes as azzledazzle said, its normal to see that message.

All went well (or so I thought) but I have 2 problems:-
I don't think I'm properly or fully rooted. After following the above steps, I installed Mobile Odin Pro (v2.45) and attempted to flash CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip. I extracted the tar file, placed it on the external SD card and ran it using Mobile Odin Pro. However, upon rebooting, I see that my baseband, kernel version, build no. etc. are still showing exactly the same info in the 'About phone' section under Settings, ie.
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband Version
N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number
IML74K.XXLQ2
Is this normal or have I missed an important step? I saw on another thread that perhaps I should have extracted both the tar and zimage files from the CFRoot zip, and then flashed? If so, could someone kindly tell me exactly what to do. For info, SU seems to have installed ok and has granted the necessary permissions to CWM and Mobile Odin Pro as root apps but I can't get into or use either app. What am I missing or doing wrong?
After rebooting, I can no longer use Mobile Odin Pro so cannot attempt a proper flash of whatever kernel I should be using. I can mostly now not get past the 'Loading...Checking SuperUser support...' splash screen. During this period, I see a pop-up which confirms the app has been 'granted SuperUser permissions for an interactive shell'; this pop-up usually appears several times during this loading period. Very occassionally, it gets past the Loading screen but then stays for an equally lengthy time at the next 'Loading...Detecting device model...' screen. If it gets past that, it then fails to detect any device model so I cannot use the app. What am I doing wrong? I've tried rebooting several times - no joy. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app - again, no joy.
If anyone can help me out of my rooting misery, I'd be really grateful.
One more thing - I'm not completely clear how I revert to/reinstall a stock ICS ROM once I am properly rooted or from where the phone is now? Can someone please just clarify this for me.
Apologies for the long post - just wanted to give as much information as possible.
Many thanks to all who can help

im not so sure but when you installed cwm and buzybox you did so to flash a custom rom
if you flash a custom rom you will keep the phone root and so on (supersu ecc...)
else you loose partially the root and you need to reflash the apps you lost on rebbot
so choose good cutom ics and go for it
you might try cssie xlite....180 mega
or Rocket Rom 7 700 mg
both work well
p.s. never full wipe or factory reset on ics cfroot kernell....
just do t with abyss kernel 4.2 if you need it and read about eemmmc bug crack
p.s.2 look for drkeatan posts and chasmodo....they made good walkthrough pro

Thanks for the reply. I only rooted in order to use certain root apps (Root Explorer, Titanium Backup etc) and was under the impression that the CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip was basically a slightly modified stock ICS ROM with CWM included..?

The way I've always rooted is to run the adb script on a gb from, can be found in dr K's post. You need to be rooted before you can flash cwm kernel, 2 separate processes (although combined in some scripts.
There is also a thread somewhere with pre-rooted stock roms, so you could flash one of those as normal with PC Odin and then flash cwm kernel. Might be easier.

[Q] About Root Problems

Hello fellas. I know you don't like these kind of posts and I agree you're right but I'm completely lost. That's why i'm making this post.
I just installed official 4.1.2 stock rom and it says N7000WELSA rom.
I want to root this. I used "PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6" kernel to root that. But after i flashed that nothing happened. Can you guys give me a light on the topic? I'm really new to that stuff and can't see my way out here... Thank you !

How did you flash it? Zip from stock recovery?

Well i downloaded the file "N7000UBLSF_N7000UUBLSF_N7000WELSA_HOME.tar" from Hotfile. And put it in PDA in Odin3 v1.85 and flashed it. I'm writing down every detail because i may have done something wrong.
Then i downloaded "PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6.tar" and flashed it the same way.

http://www.ibtimes.com/how-root-android-412-jelly-bean-ublsf-samsung-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-tutorial-1128991
I used the above tutorials to do so.

If you have used odin to install philz kernel, it will not root. You need to flash the zip version. Or use the supersu.zip file from the following post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
You should now have Cwm recovery. So either flash a zip version of philz kernel or supersu
To get into recovery, use Vol up + power + home

As you are using LSA rom, shouldn't you be using the LSA Philz kernel? For the next time, just flash the zip version in stock recovery and you will get all at once. Root + CWM recovery + Safe kernel.

I don't think it's the rom he's mentioning. It s the baseband for new lsz of a different region.

Do i have to have an External SD Card to use this method ?

now no as you should already have cwm since you pushed philz tar

My last question; Is there a way to format the phone to a state that is just just unboxed? Empty sd card. No programs. Everything clear. My battery is running out real quick and the phone started to slow down a bit. It kinda laggs... And when i flashed the rom it just upgraded the OS. Everything is still the same. Widgets , apps... they are all staying.

??? i dont fully understand. you want to revert to ICS?

No no. I wanna keep JB. But this flashing just upgraded the OS. No files were deleted or so. I just wanna completely format everything on the phone.

yes cuz its a non wipe rom.. boot into philz recovery and wipe data

Thanks again. It did work out. Well i tried to format usb storage using settings>storage> Format USB Storage. But nothing happens and it doesn't format it. Is there any other way ?

Yah. Connect to pc and delete.

Is it safe to select all and delete via computer ?

yes

Rooted now overwhelmed and lost. - Point me in the right direction

Hello all
I have successfully rooted my S3 lte and want to install cyanogen on it as this was on my last phone, smashed screen.
Have read what seems like a whole ton of threads and various links here there and every where and am now so completely confused.
is there an older mod that is not very risky to install?
have rooted per This post / thread and the phone is still running. So far so good.
I just need a link to instructions to install the cynogen files to stop my brain hurting.
many thanks
Ian

I assume you have International version of GSIII i.e I9300

CM is only running nightly builds, ParanoidAndroid is a little more stable IMO at the moment. ParanoidAndroid 3.97
1. Download this PA 3.97 ROM
2. Download GAPPS too GAPPS 4.3
3. Check your version of CWM recovery, You'll be able to check by booting into recovery ( Turn Power off then Hold power + menu + Vol Up until phone boots then leave go of power button)
Check your version in the top left. 6.0.3.3 is the latest i think.
If your version is lower then download this Zip File and copy it to your SDcard, boot back into recovery like you did to check your version, hit install in CWM and navigate to the zip you just copied, viola you'll have updated your version of CWM recovery.
4.Once back on your phone, copy the first two files you downloaded onto your SDCard.
5.Restart your phone back into recovery mode, do a factory reset and wipe the Cache/Dalvik, i cant remember where these options are located as i use TWRP recovery. But they are there so you'll find em.
6.As before located the files and install the ROM file first then the GAPPS file.
7.Restart phone, you should be sorted and everything should work just fine.
Finally, if you want to use a different Kernal i reccoemmend Yank555 but you must sign up to his forum in order to access it, Yank555 Forum

What am I correcting? Is it the file for the PDA line? CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar.md5
I've re-done this but I still do not get re-boot options. It goes back to the "Downloading don't turn off screen. The only difference now is the Binary d/load count now read 3.
If I go into *#7284# and select the settings at bottom, which one does it need to be on? I changed to the bottom setting to root and then changed back to the 2nd option once finished.

Right so its rooted without touching the stock recovery, ok.
To flash a new recovery you must connect your phone to odin how you did before and apply a recovery, search on here for "installing a recovery" or google "install recovery on galaxy s3 using odin" it doesnt matter on the model for the process of instructions just make sure you USE THE ZIP i linked you too in my first post. the CWM version 6.0.3.3 zip.

Flash philz kernel (.tar) from pc odin while in download mode (latest version). See if you can get into recovery, if you can, download and put the CM rom+gapps on external sd card, flash without any wipes from recovery or if you did take any nandroid backup you can restore that from philz kernel.

download philz kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
download the one that says .tar instead of .zip. put the phone into download mode. Open PC odin, connect phone to pc, COM ID should light up in yellow with some number. click on PDA and choose the .tar file and click on start. once it is finished, reboot into recovery and see if it works. You can fix the counter and yellow triangle later with Triangle away application.

Is the Kernel version essential? Since Philz v5.11.2 has several Kernels you can choose from, where as you cannot check which one you have running since the phone does not boot anymore.

correct , you're right!

still waiting for a clear answer to proceed the steps.
Philz Kernel may need a LINK here. maybe URL ?
THanks ALL ! feel that solutions are near now.

as you cannot check, you can download the one for your region, check on sammobile.com/firmwares for which one is for your region and i already gave the link to the philz kernel, i wont post the direct url for the file.

Basically got my phone to boot, CWM is still broken, anyway to work with this?

It doesn't matter which kernel you flash, you're just flashing to give you recovery and then you can flash cm and gapps. It won't boot, it's not supposed to.

Not sure I'm in the same boat...
is anyone seeing the same as I am - I also can't boot into Recovery since nightly 20130824. I can boot into Download mode... and... I can still boot into my current CM10.2 nightly (20130824)!!!
I've tried reflashing CWM using ROM Manager, even a few times... but nothing changes. Trying to get into recovery using VolUp+Home+Pwr doesn't work (after Samsung GT-N7000 white text... blackscreen (which I can see is still 'on'). If I try to boot into recovery using Rom Toolbox or similar, it behaves the same and I can only get it to reboot into the ROM once I've pulled the battery out and then put it back in and connected to a charger so the battery charging icon shows... which somehow clears the 'boot into recovery' flag somewhere.
Very concerned... saw something in the changelogs back at 20130824 about recovery fixes and wondered if this might happen. The first time I got it to boot back into the ROM something wasn't quite right with the internal/external SD mounts... all my ringtones and alerts etc. were reset to just numbers (e.g. 40125) which actually happens more often than I expect... but this time I couldn't find the ones I usually use in the selection list.
I rebooted with SD card out... then re-inserted it... and then things went back to how they should be and I could see and select my preferred tones again.
Have tried booting into Recovery via app, via hw keys... with SD card in, SD out... SIM card in... SIM out... both SD and SIM out... there's just no way into recovery.
Using ROM Manager I also tried to setup the alternative Recovery (TWRP) but that also gets stuck with the message 'ROM Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation'. but same behaviour when trying to boto into recovery.
I've also used Android Root Toolkit to try save/protect Root... Restore Root.. etc. but to no avail.
Any ideas... please?
EDIT: Thanks for the Odin3 / PhilZ Kernel advice - that seemed to work.
Question: Now that I've got back to recovery and updated to nightly of 20130826, did I overwrite PhilZ kernel?

yes

Yes,

Read the rom thread, fixes there

[Q] Bricked Galaxy Note GT-N7000 using CWM

Hey Guys. Greetings. I wanted to update my galaxy note [GT-N7000, India] to Android OMNIRom 4.4.2 Kitkat nightly build from Android 4.1.2 [Kernel version DDLSC]. Following steps led to bricking my phone:-
1. I first installed philz custom kernel [Version DDLSC CWM version 6.0.3.7] so that I could have CWM and SU.
2. Then I went to CWM Recovery mode, did factory reset. Then Wipe Cache. Then Wipe Dalvik Cache. Then I tried applying the omnirom update. It failed and gave me some context error and status 7.
3. Then I restored my 4.1.2 image using the CWM recovery only.
4. I booted into 4.1.2 and tried updating the CWM to 6.0.4.3 using ROM Manager. It succeded.
5. I went back again to recovery mode but it said again 6.0.3.7.
6. I tried applying update to CWM from CWM itself. It stuck at something like “replacing the stock recovery….”.
7. I powered off my phone. It went into boot loop once but somehow it started.
8. Then again I went into ROM manager and selected Boot into recovery mode.
9. It bricked my phone. Unable to boot since then. I cannot access recovery mode but I can access download/ODIN mode.
Here’s what I tried to do.
1. Downloaded CWM 6.0.4.3 touch .zip from clockworkmode.com
2. Renamed it to recovery.img.
3. Converted it to tar.md5 using img to tar tool.
4. Using Odin version 3.07, I tried flashing CWM.6.0.4.3.tar.md5 It stucks at NAND Write start.
Please help me recover my phone.

Few things you should have already read and understood.
1. Note N7000 doesn't have a separate active recovery partitions as the S3 and so on.. The recovery is built in to the kernel. So flashing Philz was a correct step.
2. You cannot update the recovery using ROM manager as it writes to the recovery partition which this phone doesn't use. Thus you didn't get the updated recovery.
3. Using odin will not work due to 1&2
Download the Philz kernel DDLC tar version and flash using Odin (uncheck Auto reboot). Once it shows Pass, then power off the phone and remove the usb cable. Boot into recovery using the vol up+home+power. The flash a kernel like Raw r4/r5. reboot into recovery and wipe. Flash Omni, Gapps, SU. Reboot.
Revive your phone by flashing stock firmware using.
So its not really "Bricked Galaxy Note GT-N7000 using CWM" but bricked due to sheer ignorance.

my device bricked

Try different USB port, cables, and check if the drivers are installed properly.. Samsung USB drivers..

Looks like the drivers are working back after using Kies. Now I connected the device and ODIN is doing its task. Will update if it successfully finishes the job.
Thanks
Edit: Everything is working as expected. ODIN has flashed CWM on my device and now I am restoring my device using the backup I created yesterday...

Got into the same problem as the OP. Wiped everyting and only have Phliz recovery. Couldn't flash CM11 because according to CM thread must have latest version of CWM (6.0.3.4) while the philz recovery I installed is based on 6.0.2.7. Couldn't flash newer recovery I downloaded from CWM site, it would just freeze and get stuck.
My solution is to just flash CM10.1.3 stable plus gapps. Worked fine. Then proceed from there.

You must have CWM 6.0.4.4 or higher, which is fully SELinux compatible for KitKat.
Just flash Raw kernel r4, reboot in recovery (of raw kernel ) and then do your flash and wipes.
You can't simply install a newer recovery on our device, as kernel and recovery are bound together, but ...THIS IS BASIC KNOWLEDGE FOR OUR DEVICE!!!
#fail²

Just resurrecting this!
After failing to flash KitKat because I had Philz kernel installed, I've got into a real mess.
I'm trying to flash raw kernel r5 but recovery isn't able to mount the SD card and so can't see the zip files on it.
I'm on a Mac and don't have Bootcamp so can't use Odin. Any suggestions?

Oops didnt realise this was kinda necroed :/

Same problem...i have brisked my N7000
i want to know where you have got stock ROM 4.1.2....please help me sir. regards,

Hi all,
I am new to XDA, and has been following XDA for ROM upgradation on my GTN7000 Samsung note
But today I have landed in the problem when I tried to upgrade the CWM through ROM manager. May be because of half knowledge.
After searching on the XDA I came across above thread identical to the issue I am facing wit same note config, with a great relief I tried to replicate the same for my N7000
steps followed.
- Download the Philz kernel DDLC tar version (PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.11.2.tar)
- flashed using Odin by unchecking Auto reboot option
- Once it showed Pass( it also showed RESTE then went on to became green), then power off the phone and removed the usb cable.
- Tried to boot into recovery by using the vol up+home+power
unfortunately got stuck in the initial screen with yellow triangle
Kindly help.

Try downloading XXLTA stock firmware. Flash it with odin, after finished reboot to stock recovery n do a factory wipe reset, reboot. After that download phils XXLTA kernel and flash it in stock recovery. It will give u root n phils recovery. After that u can do whatever u want with ur phone
