Hello guys,
I'm currently on:
Froyo 2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #91
FROYO.JPJPG
I want to upgrade to RemICS v1.3 (ICS 4.0.4), and my phone is already rooted, so my questions are:
A. Do I need to upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.3 first?
B. Do I need to use ODIN in order to upgrade the Kernel to ICS as well as the ROM.
C. I've almost consumed most of my internal SD memory, so if I do a Nandroid Backup; where would it be stored? and would it include the apps as well as the data, or just the basic data without the apps?
I'm leaning more towards using ODIN than to put the ROM on my SD card, so that if something goes wrong I can flash it directly from there again.
I appreciate your help.

First flash GB rom (best to do via odin). Kernels are usually included within rom so you don`t have to worry about that.Nandroid will be stored on sd but you can move it to your external sd or computer. If you`ll need it later for restoring you`ll simply put it back on int sd. Nandroid does complete picture of your phone, so everything will be backed up. BUT! You can not use nand restore done in GB directly from ICS. You`ll have to go back to GB rom before preforming it.
1. Yes. You need the gingerbread boot loaders.
2. Also yes. You will need Odin a second time to flash an ics kernel with cwm in order to flash the pics zip.
3. A nandroid does everything. Literally. Do one of them, go to another rom, when you come back its exactly as before. Down to the wallpaper and homescreen layout and wether Wi-Fi was on/off for example.

You don't actually need gb bootloader to go to ics, but I recommend it as if anything goes wrong it means as easy reflash to gb , rather than going back to froyo, gb bootloader are needed to get onto cm7, which is where the confusion lies
I made the leap to GB 2.3.6 using Odin. Amazing difference from that stupid Froyo. I'm enjoying GB right now until I find a solid stable ICS.
Thank you guys for the info.:thumbup:

If you want stable ICS I recommend ics333 extreme. Worked flawlessly on my good ol` s1. Since I bought s3 don`t know really how is with development on that rom but you can check it out on forum. Many different roms and ppl with different taste out there. Almost everyone has his favorite. This one worked really good for me.
Hey
I have afew questions. Im goin to root today but just need some advice. Im on ics 4.0.4.
Can i flash any rom i want?
each time u flash a rom do u need to flash the correct kernal with that rom or just pick a good kernal?
I want to flash that rocket rom v10 but it looks like it downloads with just a rom, is that normal or do i look for a kernal.
Cheers

This is a custom Kernel which includes root and cwm recovery, ROMs includes their own kernels, so you do not have to flash kernel every time unless you need some kernel of your choice.
The method which you want to follow is the safest method to root but it will raise binary count and yellow triangle, which can be removed using triangle away app by chainfire.
---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------
Yes you can flash any rom after rooting and flashing cwm recovery but make sure you flash some safe kernel before performing full wipe in recovery, I recommend using Abyss GB kernel for that. You do not have to download any kernel for Rocket ROM, it has its own kernel but make sure to flash Abyss kernel in recovery and then reboot to recovery and perform full wipe before installign Rocket ROM.
Speedmod kernel is good and will work on all TW ICS roms.
Follow the instructions given in Dr ketan's thread in Android developement
This method seems the quickest and its done by cursed4eva on youtube. You dont loose no data or apps. It only works for ics 4.0.
You flash cwm and then superSU and your rooted. Lastly you flash speedmod kernal by mobile odin and thats it.
This method takes afew mins and does not mess up anything. Video tutorial is great but from your replies, when i go onto flashing roms etc i just flash them in recovery as normal right??

Do not use this touch recovery method, this has been reported unsafe, you will end up with a brick in your hand. It is better you use custom kernel to root and flash cwm recovery. Flashing custom kernel does not wipe your data.
Could you please give me the instructions in steps...cause his video has no bad comments, everyone said it has worked fine without loosing no data or anything. But if its unsafe im sooooo confused lol

3. whats best method to flash the kernals and roms? Mobile odin?
4. Triangle away i have not yet done this but is it a must that i get this off my decive or does it not matter?
5. Whats the best rom to use for ics 4.0.4 and are their any htc sense looking roms.

Okay, lets start, i used few short word as was using note to write,
Best app to backup apps is titanium backup but dont think it can restore odexed apps (apps on stock rom) so i prefer root explorer to remove apps from system and save them on sd card.
All newest custom kernels are known to be safe but better you go through kernel threads to be sure, since you are rooted now so can use mobile odin to flash kernel.
Best way to flash custom roms is cwm recovery.
And there is no best custom rom, as all are best, it depends on your choice.
Yellow triangle doesnt affect anythin except claiming warranty.
Hope this helps
Sent from my GT-N7000
That has cleared up so much for me....lol thanx
Can u flash stock roms thoe also?
As for the backups of all data, cant a nanroid backup be done? Titanium says it backs up everything but then their is a appp called mybackup which is for root and says it does the same thing. Damn maybe your way might work but 2morrow i will flash a new rom for sure so all help is welcomed....thank you kindly.
Yes you can flash custom roms but just make sure you are on one of the latest safe ics custom kernel (go through kernel threads), you can download your stock firmware as backup and backup downloaded apps using titanium backup, thats it.
Sent from my GT-N7000
What do i use to back up my stock firmware? Is that the nandroid back up in recovery
Yeh for the apps i might just use titanuim or my back up. Both of em seem to work for that purpose.
Mobile odin seems like a great app but it seems ppl just flash kernals with it but that can be done in recovery right.
Yes you can flash kernel through recovery but custom only, for stock you have to use odin/mobile odin.
Yes you can do nandroid backup but it was not recommended so far as it was not safe on ics kernels but now some custom kernels/cwm recovery are safe for it. But I personally dont use it, i have my stock firmwares on my pc as backup, best for me.

Okay well since my phone is just rooted and nothing has been flashed. what should i do first to back up everything? what do you recommend as i would like to keep the back on my pc & exernal hard drive just to be safe i have it all intact.
Just backuo with titanium
All user app + syst data
But when restore, just use
Restore all user app+data
(And data of msg n call log in yellow color. If you get it back then only
Contact n calendar will get back by gmail sync.)

Downloading stock gingerbread for your region as backup is best in my opinion, you can always flash it through odin when required and can update via kies or OTA, You can download latest ICS as well and keep it on your PC, your wish. not sure about nandroid backup, never used on Note.
My experience is with Motorola HTC huawei. I have never owned a Samsung before and I am a little confused. I rooted my note and it currently has an advanced recovery and I deleted some apps I never use. The image attached should tell you guys what it is at the moment. I would like to install the Bangladesh version ics Rom for the note but I'm not sure how to go about it.
1. How do I flash the Rom. Do I flash like I did with my HTC and Motorola.
2. Would I lose root in the process?
3. If and when Samsung releases jb for note would I be able to update ota?
4. What is odin why do I need it and what's flash count?
5. I don't like aosp or aokp roms. What Rom should I move to eventually?
6. If I flash a Rom will I lose everything from the internal sdcard?

1.
I never use HTC and Motorolla smartphone, but in samsung, you can use ODIN (you can choose ODIN PC, or Mobile ODIN).
For mobile ODIN, you can use the lite version free (from google play), or you can purchase the mobile ODIN pro. But mobile ODIN can only be use if you are rooted.
Otherwise, ODIN PC would be a good choice (if yours not rooted, or do not intend to purchase mobile ODIN pro).
You may refer to this thread (by dr. Ketan). Read properly on how to flash your Note, once you understand, you may proceed.
2.
If you are rooted already, and you flash by ODIN PC, yes... you will be unroot again, and go back to stock kernel.
if you use mobile ODIN, you can keep the root by choosing keep root option(but in some cases, root also gone). But don't worry, if your root gone in the process, you can always root back your device, using this thread (by dr. Ketan again). All credits goes to him, I only provide you the link.
3.
When sammy will release ? no news yet. I only know soon. But I believe it should be after the release of Note 2 in all countries, only then we will receive the OTA for JB on our N7000.
For OTA updates, I'm not so sure if you are able to do it perfectly when your device is rooted. I have never done the update from OTA / or even Kies so far. I always use ODIN.
4.
ODIN is a tools to help you to flash firmware / kernel / csc. It's an optional tools in case you want to flash firmware from other countries. Or when you want to change kernel, but your device is not rooted, or when you want to flash just the CSC files.
Flash count is the binary counter, it's like a protection to Samsung, so they will know whether you flash custom ROM / kernel onto your device or not, and if yes, how many times. Normally when your binary counter up, Sammy will void your warranty.
But don't worry, there's a tool to remove by using this thread (Triangleaway, by Chainfire).
Binary counter is up when you (edit : flash custom kernel via ODIN PC). When you flash original firmware (from any countries), using ODIN PC, it won't up your binary counter, as it is considered as official ROM from Samsung.
5.
You can use TW ROM.
6.
It is always good to move your important data to external SD card first. and/or you can backup first before you flash anything onto your device.
But my understanding, your internal SD card won't be affected eventhough you do a full wipe, unless you format it. :fingers-crossed:
Lastly,
Just a gentle reminder, DO NOT do any full wiping under original ICS stock kernel / recovery. You want to wipe, please flash a safe kernel first.
Choice of safe kernel = you can find it here, a thread summarize by Chasmodo.
Hydracore, Philz, and speedmod is proven to be safe (as they have removed the eMMC brick bug).
Please read all carefully before flashing.
Good Luck!

This was a very detailed and helpful reply. Thank you for taking the time to help me. Just one little question.
With Samsung people don't flash custom roms via recovery? People use odin? Or can it be done both ways?

Custom ROM normally flashed by recovery.
Normally you can only flash a Custom ROM after you have rooted your device.
ODIN only use to flash official firmware / CSC from samsung.
or to flash custom kernel.
anyway, if you are really new to this note, I suggest you to do more research and reading, especially on dr. Ketan thread.
He really helps us a lot here with his thread.
Only when you are confident and sure about the step, then you may continue. A lot ppl don't want to read carefully, and end up in bricking the device. (I was one of them when first time having this note). After bricking then I start to learn from scratch, read more post and thread.
u should do the other way around, read more, confident, then do.
Good Luck!

:good:
perhaps you would like to ammend your topic with additional word of [SOLVED] ?
hey guys, I was thinking to root my note n7000 running android 4.0.4
I read many threads and guides but could not understand the way to do it...
some says "this way is better and safe" and some says "that one is risky, try another"
Actually I want to root because of two reasons
1. Want to install a beautiful (good looking) ROM like MIUI (cause installing themes makes my note slow, toooo slow and then it crashes too)
2. I want some apps that require root (like an app to remove permissions that apps ask but they don't actually need)
So I wanna ask you guys, is it worth rooting?
Is it possible to install MIUI in note OR is there any other better alternative to MIUI
I don't really care about the warranty as long as I can understand the way to root my phone safely so I won't brick it (though I even read in some threads that you can root without going against the warranty conditions)
I also saw the one-click root setup that needs a PC, download the rar, connect phone, USB-debugging and start the file in PC, is it safe and not outdated or patched by the android 4.0.4
So guys, suggest me should I root or just wait for JB update for the note
and if you suggest that I should root then can you please :angel: point me in a direction, to a good and easy to follow guide for newbies...
:highfive:
i rooted the note as soon as i got it..
its very simple to root a 4.0.4 these days and safe as well..
check you rom build number and download the kernel corresponding to your rom

then place the zip file in the ext SD.. boot into recovery and update from external SD and point to the Zip file.. install and done..

thanks man for the reply,
I understand the later part that transfering the zip files to external SD and install from it
but I fail to unerstand which zip file to download
my "build number" is "IMM76D.DDLR9"
and "baseband version" is "N7000DDLRR1"
also I wanted to ask if this the same CWM.zip method as mentioned in this THREAD cause they are saying that following this method will result in a brick
one last thing, if you could also make my doubts clear
rooting is needed to access to system files so that we can install and use apps which require ROOT
but I do not know about kernel and CWM...
once again many many thanks for the reply...:victory::angel:
Use ddlr9
cwm.zip can result in a brick
yes root is needed to access system
to install. mods, tweaks, different roms etc etc. etc

kernel is a universal name. You can look it up anywhere
cwm is an advanced recovery that can perform many tasks as compared to stock recovery and is embedded in the kernel for note. when you change kernel your recovery will change as per what the dev included.
cwm is aso required to install custom roms

Considering your requirements you should root.
Your only concern is that you may not be able to do it properly.

yeah that's what I thought
I would rather give it to some other person who knows the process of rooting than doing it myself, looks very confusing to me :silly:
okay done!
so I have finally rooted and flashed my kernel...
I followed this guide on youtube
youtube[dot]com/watch?v=fIV84TwdPdY
basically, it told me to download "Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed.zip" and update from the zip and I followed
then I got the supersu app in my note and my note was rooted then following the guide again, I installed "mobile odin pro" from the play store, downloaded "speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-15-CWM.zip" and using mobile odin i flashed it
so now my phone's "about" page is like this
View attachment 1653682
so I just wanted to ask whether this kernel is safe or not, do I have to still flash something else cause I read that most of the ICS kernels are affected with the "brick" bug and I was on android 4.0.4 when I rooted and flashed my phone..,
and what about flashing roms...,
It's only stock ics roms that are unsafe. Speedmod is safe, also worth checking out is phillz kernel which is as close to stock as you can get but with the mmc_cap_erase command disabled.
Since you're on a safe kernel now you can flash most roms straight away, although if flashing cm based rom like paranoid or cm10 you usually need to flash a cm based kernel first, then boot into recovery and flash the cm rom from there. All first posts will contain necessary flashing procedures. You'll get the hang of it and if you need help continue asking.

now, what rom you people suggest me to install as I am AGAIN confused to choose the rom
and as SpyderTracks said to install CM roms i need CM kernel too, so I suppose there will be again many more choices, so would anyone tell me which one is the easiest and simplest...
I actually looked at many roms
like MIUI, CyanogenMod, some jellybean roms like JellyBam
so from where should I start to understand this rooting things
P.S I have got mobile odin pro and rom manager from store, if they can help
EDIT
please help me out, I did something wrong
i downloaded and installed mobile odin pro
flashed latest CWM
and then I downloaded "RocketMIUI v8 - MIUI 2.10.19 - SNote running!!! - multilang" and wenti into recovery vol. up+power+home
first of all I used "wipe data/factory reset" option and then "wipe cache partition" and then finally I used "install zip from sdcard"
update was succesfully done but now when I start my note, it gets to samsung logo normally then the welcome page of samsung shows up and there i'm getting an error "unfortunately, phone has stopped" and now I cannot do anyting

It's just a flashing error or kernel issue, don't worry just yet. Reflash the rom, it comes provided with hydracore kernel. Leave it with that kernel, remember to do 3 wipes after flash, then try reboot.

Good day. My name is Renoux. I have a South African Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 on the MTN network but currently using Vodacom Simcard.
I am so new to flashing and rooting and there is just TOO much info to go through on this site and also any other. I am even more clueless now than I was before after reading about it.
I would like to do the following:
1) Backup everything on my phone (will the app I'm going to use still be on my phone after reset? do I need to download again and my backup file will automatically be added? Will I lose some data?)
2) I want to use a ROM called Paranoid Android. the one I have is pa_n7000-3.60-11JUN2013-053741.zip
3) How do I uninstall my current OS? I am using Ice Cream Sandwich version 4.0.4 with Baseband version N7000XXLRB.
PDA: N7000XXLRI
PHONE: N7000XXLRB
CSC: N7000OJVLR3
Build info: Wed Jul 11 19:41:13 KST 2012
4) What are the programs that I need to download? for both my PC and the phone to get this done? could you maybe include links please?
5) Do I root after or before installing the new ROM? using what? how?
basically, delete everything on my phone, after backing up the most important stuff, delete ICS, install paranoid android and then root it for full use.
Thanks.
If you want to backup everything like app+data then you can use titanium backup pro but you need root for that.. I usually provide links but as you are too lazy to read what already exists and will be there till next year for sure (just saying).. Search for philz kernel on google for n7000 and download .zip for kernel corresponding to your rom.. Put it on ext sd.. Press volume up+power+home button and you will get stock recovery from there use the volume down key to choose install zip from ext sd and press power button to select. Once done you will have brickbug safe kernel and root. Now you can install titanium backup pro and backup all the apps+data (only non system apps recommended). Now once you are done go to paranoid rom thread and read the instructions there for how to install.. If you want to install ics or even jb for any other country you can do that using pc odin or mobile odin.. Search for dr ketans stock rom n7000 in google and you will get all the stock rom to download with how to.. If you ever install stock rom again you will have to root again using the same method as mentioned above to be able to use tbp and restore apps with or without data..

Here is how to do it.
Root your phone. There are a lot off info on YouTube on hire to do. Here is one example: http://goo.gl/UWgl6
When rooting, you do not lose any information on you phone, by when changing rom you do. Therefore, use titanium backup pro (yes, buy the pro version) to backup your data.
When rooted, it is also very easy to install a new rom. My suggestion is the Stunner rom. How to install a rom is also very simple. Here is a video to show you hire to do it: http://goo.gl/Df72h
Good luck!
