[Q] Lots Of Questions

Hello XDA Community,
I am an 2 year XDA veteran, so i am properly familiar with all things related to XDA.
I currently own a Xperia X10 Mini Pro and a Xperia Mini Pro....
I tinker a lot with these 2 phones. SE phones mainly need fastboot.....
I just brought a Samsung Galaxy Note(SGN) N7000 (India) a few days back and am really excited to run CM9 on it.....
But i have alot of unanswered questions.....
So i just need the community's help...
1. Does the SGN have a stock recovery....????
My cousin has a Galaxy Tab 8.9 and it had a stock recovery. I just flashed a zip to root it and another zip for CWM......
2. What exactly is ODIN....?????
The Tab 8.9 had ODIN with a Recovery but our SGN does not seem to have one.......
3. Is it safe to upgrade to official Samsung ICS......????
There is alot of talk going on in the forum about HARD BRICKING our SGN if we upgrade........
4. What do i exactly have to do to get CWM......????
The guides in Development Section by dr.ketan have me totally confused, though i have rooted my SGN using DoomLord's Kit............
I am new to Samsung devices ant dont know the way they work.....
So any help will be extremely appreciated.......
Thanks.

I used Vol down + home + power while starting up, and the phone booted into ODIN but there is no recovery.....
The screen only shows " Start Downloading"...
What is this........???/
Whereas the ODIN in Tab 8.9 gave options to flash .zips and much more......
Help please......

Thats download mode, you use with odin from your PC.... use Vol up + home + power for recovery
Download mode is mostly used to flash stock roms (afaik) and they can be found http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-N7000&r=-1#modelsa

[Q] its stoke on the Samsung logo

After flashing ad Abyss Kernel 4.2 from my sd Card, then I reboot the phone, after that it stocks in samsung logo.
I'm not sure if my steps were correct 100%. And I did not backup also.
What to do?

Try to reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache

Here what I did:
1- Entered root mode
2- install zip from sd card
3- apply/sdcad/update.zip
then the problem began

What firmware were you running? Take into consideration that abyss kernel is gingerbread. If you were running an ICS ROM then that is why is not booting. If that is your case, find hydracore kernel (flashable zip version) and flash it in CWM. :thumbup:

Like above poster said, unless your on GB it won't boot with abyss. Flash HC or speed mod if your on 4.0.x

first of all I'm a noob,,
my rom is stock
my firmware 4.0.3, and I just root it with CWM.zip
then I flash franco.kernal-r5.zip
after that I did the last post.

Download the corresponding kernel from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

looking at your posts I suggest you simply have a Skype Chat with a noble soul, who might help you go back to stock rom.
Once you have that, stick with it. Simple.

Then select the rom,if you need to be rooted,then select "ever root" option
If you were about to flash a gb rom,then select both the wipes and select "flash firmware"

How could you even flash it since the updater-script cancels installation if the device name/model number is not in the list?

Idk, i downloaded it and installed with CWM 6.0.2.8. I havent had any error or warning.

If you can access the Download Mode flash the stock firmware.. mine can't even acces the Download Mode even with USBJig, it still shows a white line..

he had a soft brick, you had a hard brick.. take it to the service center

This should be posted in Q n A not in Android Development.

then report it...posting there is waste of time...since most or all of mini 2 users are here...
