This version of Note has a different hardware. So this is the wrong forum (and you double posted in the other forum already).
If you search for your device in XDA you'll find many threads related to that question and with no results.
If you want to know how to flash an android device: read the tutorials that are sticky in every forum of every device. No need for the next spoon feeding...

First of all, hello. I am basically a very, VERY huge newbie that just bought an Samsung Galaxy S I9000B and I would like to start to understand specific terms used in this forums (for example, XXJBA ROM, rooting). Can anyone give me a starting guide about this ? I intend to update my phone to android 2.3.3 but I don't know if it's possible (it is a customized one from a Brazilian Carrier called VIVO and if possible I want to remove everything). So I don't know even where to start. Any guides, specific threads, advices, tips, anything to start ?
Thank you,
Amid
Download an app from the market called 'root and me'. It's a great guide for beginners

Okay, thanks. Let me read all those threads and guides than I will be back for more. Thank you again.
BTW, not wanting to rush things but very curious: will I be able to update my phone I9000B to Android 2.3.3 ? Will the B in the end of the model destroy my hopes ? Just a quick answer, don't need to detail it at this point.
Hello again,
I've read the suggested threads and some other material, included the root and me app information. Now I know that the first step to clean my SGS is to root it. The application don't exactly specify which method should I use: SuperOneClick or Z4root. I understand the SuperOneClick is the old method, more dangerous and Z4Root is a new app that does the job but required USB debugging or something like that. So here is the next question (this way, I will be able to create a stick for all newbies, just by tracing my steps): Which method should I use ? Repeating myself, I have a Samsung Galaxy S, Model Number: GT-I9000B, Firmware version 2.2, Vivo Carrier (from Brazil), Baseband Version I9000BBVJJPD, Build number FROYO.VJJPD.
Thank you very much again.

Hi again guys,
No answer yet ? Really ? Am I doing something wrong ? Am I in the wrong forum (I was directed to this forum from androidz.com.br) ? I've tried to find the answers searching other topics but the search function is not very useful in forums. Also, there is no sticky here to help newbies.
The reason I was asking here is because I can't find answers in other places. I don't dare to simply trial and error, which is what I normally do when I have multiple choices, because I am afraid of bricking my phone; It's not that I am lazy to look for answer in other places; I simply can't find them.
Can someone help a newbie or at least point me to an updated guide ?
Thank you very much,
Amid
Hi,
Got a galaxy note with baseband version N7000XXKK5 and kernel version of 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKK5-CL726566. I'm totally new with flashing ROM such as this on android and I'm just wondering if somebody could provide with the instructions and tools to get me started specifically for Rocket ROM?
I am a returning xda user from the good old times of WinMo on htc touch and htc diamond
Thanks!
first of all you need to get Root your device. If you are non rooted then go to first link of my signature. And remember
You need to post it in Q & A section or to Roket ROM Thread itself.
This is development section.
Yups. 1st u need to root your device. The easy method is CF root by Chainfire
Hi,
Rocket Rom installation is not different from any other Custom Rom one.
First thing you have to do is, sorry for this....., STUDING.
Note is a really expensive phone so, before modding it, take some time to understand what you are doing (I followed Note's forum for 1 month before rooting mine), becaouse with modding you can:
• lose your warranty
• brick(=destroy) your NOTE!! (this can 99% happen if you don't know what are you doing...).
Ok now let's start with real advice:
1) Start from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325369&highlight=efs (ORIGINAL EFS folder is ESSENTIAL for Samsung warranty)
2) Root your Note http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 instruction on the second POST
3) Go to Rocket Rom page and follow instruction http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380284 (Dev of the Rocket Rom eybee1970 stopped updating this fantastic Rom so , by now, don’t expect further update)
My last advice is READ READ READ and SEARCH in XDA forum, 99% of question you can imagine has just been asked.
XDA is a really great place to understand, but you have to put some effort into
BTW…welcome to the great community of NOTE’s Owner, probably the best Android Device.
Thank you guys for your replies and suggestions. Really appreciate it. These definitely give me a good starting point
Cheers

Hello xda-developers!
I am really new on android development (i bought my xperia x8 phone before one month)
So i am having 2.1 android version and i want to update it into a stable + fast + without problems android version can help me how to find/install it?
There are lots of good roms but some need custom kernels and not all phones can get one.
If you are willing to unlock your bootloader you need to see the manufacturing date on the white sticker below the battery. If it is 11w29 or older then you will have a very big chance of bricking the phone if you try to unlock it. You need to use a rom that supports the stock kernel in this case.
If you CAN unlock the bootloader then you also have better roms at your disposal.
Go to the x8 general forum and read the stickies. Search for tutorials and how-tos'..

Hi guys,
I just converted to Windows phone platform as I previously used a LG G3 Andorid device. I used xda developers alot to Mod my device such as Root Access, Unlock Bootloader, Custom Recovery and install Roms and Kernels.
My question is - Is there the same sort of things for the Windows phone? This forum for Windows 8 isn't as straight forward due to different devices that are all in the one forum " Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking "..
Could someone point me in the right direction where I may use some developer tools to unlock bootloader etc or install kernels to MOD my Lumia 930? Or is there such thing?
Hope I can get a response...
Thanks in Advanced!
Anything? These threas doesn't get acknowledged much as androids

It's not about the attention these forums get, it's more about all the guys are literally tired answering questions like these ( no pun intended ) .
So basically for now it's a "NO" for all your questions, you can't unlock ( i mean filesystem access ) your phone, and surely can't modify the bootloader, in this aspect WP is not like Android, it's focused on security ( enterprise in mind ).
For more on your question please refer to this thread > The first thread in "Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking, literally "
Also, as per the rules, please don't bump your thread more than once per 24 hours. 12 hours may seem like a long time to wait for an answer but it's still annoying when people do that. The WP community is a lot smaller than the Android community. On the other hand, as VSparxx points out, you could have had your answer easily with a little research. Currently, hacks for WP8 devices without SD cards are extremely limited. Samsung and Huawei have sort-of-custom ROMs (only limited modifications possible); HTC and Nokia don't even have that.
Hello there, as the usual disclamer English isn't my native language please excuse any mistake.
Im usually one of those silent users, who learned lot of stuff with my previous android devices (SII, Young, Ace2, and so), today i found myself with a 635 from Movistar Argentina.
I wanted to do a Suggestion post, to help me get in order for newbies the info about Lumia, would be my first usefull post, but as im not an expert i decided to do a question thread. Maybe i can latter make the post to help newbies as me to find a starter info with link
The point is, i found quite messy the info regarding Lumia phones, for example
There are methods to take from W8 to W10, unlocking, reflashing, etc.
In this moment i have like 10 tabs on windows devices trying to understand, and not ask with the "help help me plz" post.
So, the point is.
-At the moment, there are not Specific forums for any Lumia device as for example the S5 forum. (i couldn't find any with the search) we only have this sub forum of W8 phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8 . And also is not separed on W7 W8 and W10, we have just this one, First error, there ARE sub forums for W7, W8 and W10, but there is a W8 RT and a W8 what is the difference between them?
-If you want an specific forum we should vote here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1660354
-There are Unlocking methods, flashing and de-branding but not all of them function with al models.
Regarding deeper on this info.
We can change from W8 to W10
We can flash a Custom Windows (i assume?) Operating System
We can de-brand (take out logo for example?)
We can unlock
There are ways to install android on WP (as a professor used to say, if you want to go faster buy a bigger engine don't tunne it, so go buy android )
But i also found a thread about Phone internals, so....this internal are before or after or independant to flashing o unlocking?
¿Did my question get to the point? im trying to do a Dummy guide for new-ones like me to not spend 2 hours looking arround XDA to finish posting the "help me plz" post hehe. I saw in android forums that you can get a "read here all you need" post.
Thanks for the help!!
