Hey guys, first of all, just let me say, thanks for reading.
Here is the thing, I got my note a while back and rooted and installed CM 10 at the time, then I just kept using its update feature to keep up to date. I did that almost a year ago and never came back to XDA Devs. So im pretty rusty on procedures and that kind of stuff.
I was looking into installing a new ROM, one that has the S-Note, S-Memo and S-Pen drawing apps, and If I'm not mistaken, this one does:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626
I know how to install a new ROM, but when I reboot my phone I cant access CWM recovery to install from SD card.
So my question is: What would I need to do, to get back CWM so I can install the previously mentioned ROM, if I'm running the latest nightly of CM?
Thank you in advance for your time!
Sounds like you need to do a full wipe and flash a ROM with a kernel that has cwm. Via a computer
You can flash the hydracore kernel via PC ODIN or mobile ODIN should also work. Better do a full wipe and flash with PC ODIN.
Thanks guys!
Would asking for a link to the relevant and recommended tutorials be too much?
Help Installing New ROM
Hey guys, first of all, just let me say, thanks for reading.
I am a noob wanting to install custom rom my Galaxy Note N 7000
Android version : 4.0.4
Baseband version : N7000XXLRK
Kernal version : 3.0.15 - N7000XXLRK-CL811902
I was earlier planning to factory reset my Note and then install the latest firmware by Samsung from Kies
So I hard reset my Galaxy Note.
But I had some trouble downloading the update using Kies, that's when I decided to install custom ROM.
So the following are the details I have collected over my research on how to install Custom ROM on my Galaxy Note.
I am posting this thread because I want to check, if I have gathered the right information over my search
Please reply with the steps I have to remove or steps I have to add.
1. Have to root my phone and install a Safe Kernel.
Charge the battery to 100%
Then put my Phone in Debugging Mode
I have checked this thread [Beginners Guide]How to root Samsung Galaxy Note for rooting details and found 3 links for my kernel on the thread
[03.06.2013][PhilZ-cwm6][n7000] v5.06.1 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root+exFAT+ext4-LT6
http://d-h.st/SZ2 - Filename: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-3.1
http://d-h.st/NFY - Filename: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-2.7
http://d-h.st/b5M - Filename: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-2.5
I guess PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-3.1 is the latest kernel for my phone from the version details.
Please confirm if I was right in choosing the kernel.
- Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card to root directory
- Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
- Select install(update) zip from ext SD card
- Select PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-3.1-signed.zip' which I copied to Ext card
- Reboot device
Questions???
---> Does root directory mean I have to copy the files to external SD card when its just open?
---> How can I check if my phone is successfully rooted?
2. Backup my Phone’s IMEI
-Install Root Browser from google store
-Copy efs folder to external SD Card storage and then to my computer
3. Backup the Complete ROM
- Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
- Scroll down to the “backup and restore” option and backup the ROM to external storage using the option “backup to external sdcard” option.
Question???
---> Can I save this backup to my computer so that I can delete the back up and save space on the external SD?
4. Installing Custom ROM
I am planning to install [AOSPA 4.2.2] PARANOIDANDROID 3.60 (June 11)
- Download the latest ROM pa_n7000-3.60-11JUN2013-053741.zip using the link
- Download the latest Gapps pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130615-signed.zip from the link
- Copy ROM and Gapps to Internal SD card
- Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
- Select "wipe data/factory reset"
- Select "wipe cache partition"
- Go to advanced and select “wipe dalvik cache” and “wipe battery stats”
- Go to mounts and storage and ”format system”
- Return back to the main menu and select “install zip" and choose zip from Internal sd card” and select the ROM
- Return back to the main menu and select “install zip" and choose zip from Internal sd card” and select the Gapps
- Select "wipe cache partition"
- Go to advanced and select “wipe dalvik cache”
- Finally, go back to the main menu in Recovery and select ”reboot system now”.
Questions???
---> Doesn't wiping all the data remove the ROM and Gapps we have copied to the Internal SD card?
---> Is it really the Internal SD card where I have to copy ROM and Gapps?
---> Do I really have to wipe cache after installing ROM and Gapps?
---> After I successfully install the custom ROM how will I receive the future updates?
Thanks in advance :laugh:
Hey mate, lotta questions you got there!
Firstly, you copy the PhilZ kernel .zip to your SD card and then go to recovery and flash it. You go to recovery, you'll have an option, flash .zip from SD card.
To check the root, you'll have superuser in your app drawer after you restart.
The backup you're talking about here is the nandroid backup, yes you can copy the folder to the PC later.
And when you wipe data, you don't lose your documents on the internal SD, the ROM and gapps will be still there, and you can copy the ROM and gapps .zip files to SD card too.
Yes wiping cache before flashing tje ROM is advisable. And once you root the phone, you won't get access to future updates by samsung officially, but you'll have the stock based custom ROMs on xda which solves that problem, else you can flash the official firmware anytime and update.
Hit thanks if this helped, guess it did

Hello
I have a simple question, now i am on JVU (ODEX) with value pack, semaphore 2.5.0, ext4 and some various mods. What is the flashing procedure...copy to sdcard than wipe cache, dalvic cache, factory reset...than install from sdcad??? Please give me som instructions. I'm new in subject. I LOVE your ROM, and i think it's PERFECT!!!
Hi,first make a backup, download the zip.
Copy the zip file in the internal SD (SD internal phone, not the removable SD card).
Restart the phone in recovery mode CWM.
disable ext4
Select "install from sdcard zip."
Select "choose zip sdcard".
Locate and select the downloaded zip file.
Then restart the phone.
Ok. But can i flash it with my ROM??? It is not an issue??? Thx for quick respond There will be no problem that i am on ODEX??
No, no problem
but do not forget to do the backup
if you did not Titanium Backup installs to save your apps (before flashing)
take the version no wipe
If this is your first flash ... take a maximum of precautions
THX. And that is not my first flash. But first on rom without ODIN.(CMW)
With pleasure, good flash
I flashed GB rom KJ1 via PC Odin. Everything is fine except the key board saying null null. But that is ok beacuse I am not going stay in GB but planning to flash kingdoird 4.1.1. When I go to recovrey mode I can see all the options, such as wipe data and cashe. Also in advanced option wipe Dalvik cache and mountunt and storage format /cache,format /system,format /data and also the ROM KD 4.1.1 in external SD card. Therefore my question is since all option are avaiable to me in recovery mode and I am in GB rom, can proceed to flash the custom ICS rom, KD v4.1.1. Thanks
.
Custom ROMs usually require root access as well as the option to install a ZIP file from SD card/internal memory. Do you see such option as well? If not, you probably need to download a matching rooted kernel with CMW recovery console pre-installed. See here for a list, choose the one matching KJ1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
I can see the option Install zip from sd card and the rom file in sd card. The Recovery mod is CWM based recovery V5.0.2.7
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to experience ICS, but after much reading on the EMMC Bug, I wanted to hold off until the situation was resolved to some extend, in terms of custom-kernals. Whereby, the EMMC erase commands are "disabled'.
So, I think it's time for me to experience ICS on my GT-N7000.
Presently, I have the following:
Builder Number: CheckROM Revo NoteHD V5
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband: N7000XXLA4
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.14-ver.4.2
[email protected] #3
I would like to do a "clean-factory-install" (meaning, erase everything, start from scratch, factory settings - no Titanium Backup, SMS Backup, etc.) to "Rocket ROM V10"
So, can anyone confirm if the following steps is what I need to do (I kind of mapped it, using extra precaution):
1. Boot into CWM (currenty has: RedPill Touch Recovery by AF974, CWM v5.5.0.4)
2. From CWM Main Menu, access Wipe Menu, then:
3. Wipe Data / Factory Reset
4. Wipe Cache
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache
6. Wipe Voltage Control Settings
7. Wipe Battery Stats
Afterwards, Go Back To CWM Main Menu:
8. Go to Install Menu
9. Select "Choose ZIP From SD Card"
10.. Select The: AbyssNote 4.2 Kernel (posted within the RocketROM thread)
Afterwards, Go Back to Main CWM Menu:
Repeat Steps 2 thru 7 *again* - - - just to make sure after installing AbyssNote 4.2 Kernel
11. From the Main CWM Menu, go to Reboot Menu
12. Select Reboot Recovery
13. Now I should be under the AbyssNote 4.2 CWM Recovery
14. Do All The Wipe(s) Again: Data/Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik Cache, Voltage Control Settings (if applicable), Battery Stats, etc.
15. Install The ROM - by going to Install Menu & Select "Choose ZIP From SD Card" - point to RocketROM V10 zip file.
16. Reboot To System
17. Let The ROM settle down
18. Reboot Phone back into CWM (AbyssNote 4.2 CWM Recovery)
19. Install NoteCore / SpeedMOD Kernal (by choosing to Install From ZIP)
20. Do All The Wipe(s) Again: Data/Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik Cache, Voltage Control Settings (if applicable), Battery Stats, etc.
21. Reboot!!!
22. DONE!
23. Enjoy ICS ...
Since you are already on GB kernel so it is safe to flash ICS rom, you can skip step 10-14, After flashin ROM you won't be able to re-boot in AbyssNote 4.2 CWM Recovery as it will be replaced by new recovery from the kernel included in new rom. Better to reboot normally and then flash another kernel using cwm recovery.

Hey jeetu1981,
I'll try what you have mentioned, and report back.
Thanks! (I'll click on the Thanks! Button Too...)
jeetu is right
at point 17 you will already be on NOtecore kernel so no need for step 19.
check your root status first after booting into new rom.

Hi Again,
Sorry just been really busy, I finally going to be having time to do this. Quick Question: Copy the RocketROM zip to internal sd card or external sd card, I am siding with external card, since the internal one is going to be deleted when I go through format/system, etc., right?
You can copy it to internal sd card
The data on the internal sdcard will not be wiped
If u want to wipe the data on the sdcard, in cwm>mount and storage>format sdcard

i am in the same boat. I have CheckROM V6 and looking for ICS update.
Can i ask why you need to do a full wipe? Why not just install the ROM on top and keep all the same settings?
Or reload it back with Titanium?

GB and ICS uses different settings and framework so restoring and using same settings OR flashing without full wipe is a no go I believe. same goes for ICS roms with different base like CM, TW, AOKP or MIUI.
You can flash rom without full wipe if the base is same (TW to TW etc) but then you will have lot of performance issues and FCs.
You can restore apps and data using TB but settings is still not possible.
Right, ive rooted my note, and im looking for an iPhone type Miui theme rom, ive looked at how to install the new rom and i have no idea what to do, it says that i cant flash on stock ICS ROM, currently running 4.0.1 atm, and it also says something about Aroma Installer. i am a big newb when it comes to this, i dont wanna f**k my phone up so can someone help me and tell me what to do please?
Firstly remove the stock kernel, thats what it is referring to, So flash something safe like Philz or Hydracore.
And also, Aroma installer is something that will appear when flashing via CWM, it is a neat feature which allows you to pick and choose optional extras to install, or to remove certain things from installing.
Once it appears just follow the instructions, its simple really.
when i rooted it i changed to franko kernel? what do i need to flash Miui ROM Vengeance Note v2_4-08 09 2012? im downloading that atm
Go with something popular like philz or hydracore, it will be overwritten once the ROM installs anyway.
Make sure to do the wipes (if necessary)
so i install that kernel, then flash the rom using cwm and it says to do a wipe, how do i wipe it?
In recovery there are several options, you will need to wipe data / Factory reset, then wipe cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
You may also need to format /system and /preload, you will find these under the mounts and storage menu

i still have no idea what to do.. all i know is when doing a new rom install in from sd card is all i know, i need an easy to understand explaination lol because what you're saying is just letters to me, if you can tell me how to do it because i dont know what im doing..
Okay, so you're completely stock now right? If so, head over to original android development section and download either philz kernel for your version (find this in settings > about phone) or hydracore kernel (this needs to be flashed with odin unless you are already rooted with Cwm recovery, if not just use philz)
Once downloaded place on your internal sd card, power the phone off, hold volume up + home + power all at once until you enter recovery.
Now select apply update from sd card or update . zip (can't remember which one) once flashed do the same procedure again, this time you will notice how different it is.
Now either mount usb storage in recovery (under mounts and storage) or reboot the phone to use mtp / mass storage.
Place MIUI rom in your internal sd card, reboot into recovery, select wipe data / Factory reset (will remove all apps and data, not media, so backup what's important before hand)
Now select wipe cache, then go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache.
Now go to install zip from sd card, then choose zip from internal sd card, find the MIUI rom and flash it.
Once done, reboot and wait upto 10mins for it to boot properly.
Double check to MIUI thread for install instructions as you may need to format system and preload too when performing the full wipe in recovery.

4. Wipe everything except /sdcard and /emmc
5. Flash the ROM
6. Flash the GApps
7. Reboot System and wait a bit ( first boot always takes a time)
Hope I could help

thanks for the directions mate!
I got this working on the first try
however I didn't wipe anything before installing this, because it was giving me heaps of trouble, like not being able to find my internal sd
if anyone else wants to install this and coming from gb 2.3.6 rooted:
flash semaphore 2.4.7 with odin first
copy the rom and gapps to internal sd (I made a folder named fireworm and put the rom and gapps there)
boot into recovery with button combo vol.up + home + power
don't do any wipes
choose zip from sd card, select the rom
flash
it's gonna get stuck at semaphore logo
take out the battery and recovery button combo again
choose zip from sd card, select the rom and flash again, this time it will work
choose zip from sd card and select the gapps
flash
reboot
done!
finally on 4.2.2. after I don't how many errors, semi bricks and grey hair
p.s: looks and feel are great
I'd reply on the thread but it says I don't have enough posts
