My phone's usb (charging) port is not working properly.My phone is under warranty so I want to Send it to service center but problem is that I am on a custom Rom. I need to flash non rooted stock Rom .I can't use pc odin because of usb issue.
Can this be done through mobile odin or CWM.please help

Yes can be done through mobile ODIN. Look out for the thread of mobile ODIN pro. And this is a hardware problem purely, and I don't know if you have to even unroot and stuff like that. Just for the look, you might go to a TW based ROM for some time
Should this be made a sticky? I guess it should, a fairly common problem for our note.

Hi guys,
For the first time I wanna root my Note and would like to do it cleanly. I would like to root my Note, use custom ROMs and be able in the future to come back to a stock ROM which is upgradable via KIES.
My first question is to know if the process of downgrading to an older firmware could corrupt the EFS folder. (using PC odin)
2. Will it wipe my phone? In sammobile they don't specify if the older ROMs are wipe or non-wipe.
Thx

1- it shouldnt do, i have downgraded using pc odin without an issue
2 - get a non wipe rom fromthe list in the sticky in the dev section
Thx for your reply, I would also like to know:
1. If after rooting the older rom my phone will be upgradable via (recognised by) KIES.
2. If the answer of the question is YES, then what kind of back up should I do in order to be able get my phone at that "state" later on, after having tried other custom ROMs.
I'm trying to be more cautious because with my older i9000, I couldn't get it recognised by KIES after flashing different custom ROMs. My EFS folder was corrupted (empty indeed) and there was unfortunately no way back in my knowledge...

it might be but if you update via kies you will lose root
Could somebody else give me a more convincing answer?

Yes you can root your Device. Here
Just make sure you are in rootable ROM, in case if you are not in rootable ROM then u have to downgrade ROM via PC Odin.
Download rootable Stock ROM from Here
In the above Dr. Ketan's Thread he mentioned the rootable and non rootable ROMs
after Downgrading and installing CWM+Root flash any Custom ROM
You can get back to Stock ROM again without worries. Just Flash Stock ROM which is available for your country via PC Odin. (You get warranty too)
If you do everything correctly, then nothing goes wrong.
They are many ROMs available in above thread and Dr.Ketan marked some ROMs as Wipe or Non Wipe.
I've downgraded using this KL3 firmware (india)
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/137391605/31899b9/N7000XXKL3_N7000ODDKL1_INU.zip.html
I don't know why but my phone is no longer upgradable by KIES. It shows "Your device does not support software upgrading via KIES"
Anyway, next step is rooting
Better news, after the downgrade, I rooted the phone using this method:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJjh6gi0Spw
It rooted my phone without any problem.
After, I did a complete backup using Titanium Backup then backed up my EFS Folder using the "root explorer" app (copy and paste the folder) and via the desktop app "ESF Pro" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
After that I upgraded to my original firmware LB1 using Mobile Odin Pro
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997&highlight=root
ROM: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/147259547/5483373/N7000XXLB1_N7000OXALB1_DBT.zip.html which is a non-wipe ROM.
I'm so glad that now the phone is upgradable via KIES, it shows that I've got the latest firmware.
If you upgrade via kies, you'll lose root. so in essence, once you're rooted, whatever kies says doesn't really matter, as you'll most likely always be using mobile odin or cwm from that point onward, assuming you want to keep root of course.

I cannot agree more with this...Don't bother with Kies now that you're rooted. Why wait for OTA/Kies updates when you can get any new Rom here at XDA a day or two after it is released?
Removing Kies scheisse from zips is the first thing I do before flashing new Roms. Needless to say, it's been removed from my PC ages ago, and replaced by Sammy USB drivers for transferring files etc.
In a word, forget Kies, you're in better hands here at XDA.

But if you update it with kies/OTA, you will lose Root. So update using CWM/Mobile odin only.

Exactly.
Even it appears on XDA before OTA, as usually OTA appears few days later to Kies release.
I understand all you're talking abt. I would probably not need to update my phone via KIES anhmore. But it could prove to be important when I want to sell the phone. I would like the new owner to be able to get updates via KIES or OTA.
By the way, after the root I have frozen many Apps which keep my ram free now and I assume that battery life will be better. Everything seems to work fine just HD widget doesn't work, it's my favourite. It says that there is not Internet connection or something like that. Could anyone know what it's about and how to fix it?

Did a factory reset and now HD widget works just fine.

Hi,
I installed RocketRom v.23 and so far it is great, aside from some minor issues.
However, as I need to return the phone back for some other reason, is there any way to find what was the original ROM on my phone before I install this custom ROM on top of it? Maybe from the IMEI or sth???
PLEASE ADVICE cause I know they will not accept it without the original ROM.
It is not possible to know
But you can find ROm for your country from here N flash it with PC Odin.
I think you can check the date of your purchase invoice of the device and find a rom released before that date and flash it. You can find the date adjacent to rom details in Dr. Ketans thread.

this is the answer. you dont need the exact rom on your phone before. you need to find any rom that you could have upgraded your phone over kies.
hello guys
I confirm i'm confused now and don't know how to do.
when the first ROM of ICS went out (LPY) i was so excited that i'm flashed it but i can't use the phone cause the battery can stay for one day even 5 hours.
after rezding several (concerning the brick bug) I went back to gb (following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025&highlight=direct+dl) through mobile odin and the phone is working.
Now there is a plenty of ICS ROM LPY,LP9 etc etc.
I want know to back (to the future) to ICS but still afraid of this brick but.
Can someone tell me how is possible to move to ICS ?
One more question can we mix pda phone modem from different rom
what brick are you talking about? the only bug im aware that causes brick is the one on cf root and CWM backing up and restoring... you can safely flash isc trough odin and it will work just fine
Thank for your quick reply
Correct me if i'm wrong (very newbie on android and sgn) I just have to download one of the ics Rom (N7000XX###) and flash it without cwm and root option cause right now i have cwm and root.

Flash from Mobile
You can use "Mobile ODIN to flash keeping Ever root and Inject Super user checked" or "use CWM to flash and select CF-root kernel" to keep root and SU intact with the new ROM.
Try any of the safe custom ROMs. PA, Asylum etc.. They are allow awesome but nothing beats PA for me. Once you use AOSP, you would never wanna go back. They are much much much better than the crappy stock GB-looking ICS.

Hello,
I am about to get ready to start flashing roms with my phone (Still on 2.3.5 after all this time because I didn't want to touch ISC after reports of bricking). If I understand correctly Odin basically takes care of Everything now?
My largest concern is with my USB port; Last time I messed with flashing was with the Dell Streak, which was fraught with winding flashing paths that often needed to enter a USB recovery mode that could cause Bad Things to happen if something broke. Back to my Note's USB port. It's a bit touchy and often time randomly cuts out.
So tl;dr version: Going from stock 2.3.5, is it possible to flash custom roms without touching my USB port?
Thanks in advance to any replies.

mine too is a bit dicky, if i slightly move it, it will stop charging.
best thing to do is, Order a new one
Or... connect it, dont touch it and then attempt to flash, If it cuts out without you even touching it, I would advise not to flash at all. if it loses connection mid-flash, it can brick your phone into an unrecoverable state.
What are you attempting to flash anyway ? most things can be done on the phone itself, either through recovery or mobile odin.
Yeah that's sort of the question I was asking. Is it possible to install new roms on my phone without touching the USB port. Last time I bothered with custom roms was around two or three years ago, when things were a bit more touchy.

Could you give me a rundown of what mobile Odin can do? If I just install that (and if I get the pro version because I likes my roots), could I install CM10 or leaked jellybean roms?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
mobile odin can be used to flash the roms that can be flashed by PC odin. TAR.<MD5.. Pro version can retain root when flashing and more over you have the choice to flash a different kernel at the same time flashing the rom.
CM10 needs to be flashed using CWM.. leaked JB roms downloaded in a tar format can also be flashed using Mobile odin
Thanks.
Can I install CWM without using my USB port?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
yes, download philz kernel and flash it via stock recovery, this will then give you root and CWM recovery which will allow you to flash anything you want.
Hello,
my friend has a Galaxy Note that still has warranty, but the USB port is broken. He has some custom rom installed and we need to put the stock rom back on, so he can send it in and let them repair it.
Is it possible to get back to stock (complete with recovery etc) without using the USB port?
yes use mobile odin to flash the stock official gb or ics.. and yeah this is a hardware issue not a software so i don't think the sammy cc need to do anything with what rom you have

We already contacted them, and they said that we need to flash the stock rom first.
Thanks for the tip.
I have the stock Rom in a single file format. How do I use this with Mobile Odin?
edit: I found it, sorry.
