Hello, I know this question was asked by others before, but the answers are not clear and I still have some doubts.
My phone was on GB for stock rom. Updated it to ICS ( 4.0.4 DXLR5 ) thru Kies last year and recently updated my kernel to Philz's safe kernel ( PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-2.7 ) My phone was susceptible before I flashed Philz's kernel. Not sure about now, didn't check yet.
So here's my question, can I update my N7000 to ( 4.1.2 ) DXLSE official rom thru OTA or Kies? Is it safe or is there still a risk of bricking?
Please advice. TQ.
These are my previous data on eMMC:
[email protected]:/sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device # cat cid | cut -b 19,20
gives back: 19 (susceptible)
[email protected]:/sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device # cat name hwrev fwrev manfid oemid date type
gives:
Name: VYL00M
HwRev: 0x0
FwRev: 0x0 (not completely safe)
Manfid: 0x000015
Oemid: 0x0100
Date: 01/2012
Type: MMC
Yes you can upgrade via kies. OTA wont work as it needs stock kernel and recovery

Thank you for replying! But is it safe or risky to update it to JB?
JB is pretty safe.. alteast safer than ICS. Your call

Sorry, I think my question misled you. What I meant was, will it be safe for me to do the upgrade? Are the risks of triggering the eMMC brick high?
no... kies and odin upgrades are pretty safe

As of now LA1 is not directly Rootable. Flash Rootable ROM then root, and after flash LA1.

Download guide from last link on my signature, it will guide you step by step to Root it. yes you have to downgrade it first. N if you follow it exactly, there wont be raise counter.
I was on LA1 but now I downgrade to KJ1 and flash to Custom Rom by use Odin successfully. Seems no problem. But I really want to know is Counter raise.
What happened if Counter raised and what is it? Thanks

Binary Count will raise only if you flash any custom ROM using PC Odin.*If your Binary Counter is 1 or more than than 1 you will lose warranty. and there is way to make it 0. but that app needs ICS. and Chainfire is working on it.
Just Boot in download mode
In your device upper left corner you can see Custom binary count
it should be : "No"
Thank you
So I've to wait for Chanefire's work
Hi, I'm a new user & I need to root my GNote. I read the thread by dr.ketan. But I need to root my phone directly (without downgrading). Is it possible now ? or do I need to wait few days (until CF-Root is out for DDLB2) ? or is it mandatory to downgrade it ?
no it's not possible. it has nothing to do with CF root LB2 or the present LB1. you still have to downgrade, root and then upgrade.

Thank you !, Well, I'll downgrade it first then.
btw, will it increase the flash count if I downgrade via PC odin (mentioned in dr.katen's post) ?

No, flashing stock Roms with PC Odin never increases the flash counter. Flashing custom Roms/kernels does.

Yes, you can flash CF-Root using PC Odin or Heimdall, but you will get the triangle and trip your binary counter.
There is a way to do it without voiding your warranty. Go to Abyss thread, and you will find out how.

Can any1 school me on this?
I flashed LPF to my polish N7000 along w a new bootloader & csc (Hong Kong TGY) I flashed them all...it works great
I want 2 go to 4.0.4
but I'm worried about my bootloader and csc since most stayed on LPA & didn't flash the new bootloader I'm worried my downgrade process is different...I don't kno anything about bootloaders and understandably w all the bricking drama I'm paranoid about it...
Can any1 tell me what Rom kernal bootloader csc should I flash...to safely get off LPF and get 2 a safe rooted versatile ICS kernal through GB?

A safe bet would be to go to stock GB, root it, flash required recovery and then flash the 4.0.4 through the GB Recovery you have installed. Or use Abyss and flash your way through. Cheers!

This ^^
But bare in mind that there are no "Safe" 100% kernels on ICS - in 4.0.4 the reports seems to be that brickbug is still present in the kernel..
Most, if not all will tell you never to reset / factory wipe with ICS Kernel.
I want to install CWM recovery mode. So first do I have to gain root privilages to my device? If so, how?
Or Can we directly install cwm recovery without rooting the device? If yes please guide me how.
Thank you so much

If I was on your place, I would flash with Odin JV5 or JV4 stock FW with baseband for your region (India?) and flash after that kernel Semaphore 2.7.4, it contains root, CWM recovery and works great.
Alternatively, you can flash JVU stock FW and after that the Semaphore 2.5.0 kernel (compatible for that firmware)
All you need is Odin 1.81, 1.82 or 1.83 (last compatible version for the i9000). You can check my latest thread, there is step by step guide, all download links and even video how to flash a kernel or whole firmware (same proceeding). But read carefully whole the guide before you start!

No, you don't have to root to get CWM, you can flash a semaphore GB kernel as is to get CWM and upgrade to others. juts follow this guide and the semaphore GingerBread (latest) kernel
