[Q] To LP1 or Not?

Hi XDA,
I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance. I've already flashed to LA4 using Mobile Odin and I'm keen to try LP1 but my mind is not as flexible as it used to be and I end up getting myself into a state about what the best thing to do next is.
Basically, my phone is rooted (although I haven't managed to get CWM installed yet because ROM Manager has been updated to support the N7000 if I'm right). I've downloaded the LP1 as a zip file. It looks to me as though Mobile Odin can see all of the components within it when I navigate to the file.
I've done a full TB to dropbox...
And that's where I tend to have a panic attack.
If I flash through Mobile Odin will I still have root? How can I ensure I get CWM flashed too? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?
I come from the original Galaxy S and frequently flashed various ROMs on that but for some reason I seem to have forgotten most of the things I needed to bear in mind.
Dr. Ketan's guide is great but again the words start blur in front of my eyes and I read of people not being able to get root access back on their phones. I'm right in saying that Mobile Odin will inject root automatically when I flash the new ROM?
My excuse is my baby daughter who ensures that I only get a fwe hours sleep each night
Many thanks for any rational help and advice you guys might be able to donate.

You are rooted LA4, n having backup data with TB, you want to move to ICS LP1 isn't?
You need to steal just 15 min from your lovely daughter

- extract, keep your firewall, antivirus off, install kies on PC, check unknown sources n usb debugging on device
- execute I m already rooted
- connect device
- if successfull , you will get CWM in few seconds
- place LP1 file on SD card
- Hard reset device (in recovery, wipe cache, wipe data)
- Rebbot, open CWM
- select flash Zip, point to your downloaded LP1 file
- Flash
You will get LP1 now, if bootloop, repeat wipe cache, wipe data again
then finally restore backup with TB

Hi Dr. K,
thanks for that but I made a mistake I actually meant LB1 not the new ICS rom (I'm prepared to wait for a full stock ICS).
Does that change anything?
Many thanks.

then you can go with Mobile odin. that you are having already.
- unzip your ROM file to .tar.md5, n place on SD card
- Open mobile Odin - select open file - point to your ROM .tar file
- enable (check) everroot option, including sub option
- Flash

Done, done and done! Thanks Dr. K. I'm now running on the 'snappier' LB1. Just one final question. How can I get CWM flashed (or is there already?). I just wish Chainfire would update ROM Manager for the N7000 (it's the only reason I keep going into the Market to check my apps and see if I can get CWMTouch).
Many thanks once again for the nice'n'clear directions. I appreciate that you probably get asked the same thing many times every day!

Just fillow first few steps of post #2 which i shown you. Follow till u get CWM

[Q] Rooting a Stock ROM

Hi to all
I wish to root my Note (GT-N7000) and am trying to follow the method described in Dr Katan's post here.

Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage. (use vol up/down to select, power to enter)
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard (Now use touch function to select choice)
Choose and Install SUPERSU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Rooted
Click to expand...

I am running the following stock ROM:-
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband Version
N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number
IML74K.XXLQ2
When I hold the power button, I don't see any 'Recovery' option (The only options are 'Silent mode', 'Data network mode', 'Flight mode', 'Power off' and 'Restart'). What am I missing/doing wrong..?
Many thanks to anyone who can help.
PS. Apologies for posting this in the Q&A section. I'm relatively new so can't yet make a post in the relevant development thread.

only custom ROM users get the APM (advanced power menu)
you will have to do it manually, Power off the phone and hold volume UP + Home + Power all at once
let go when you see the GT-N7000 screen

Thankyou VERY much. I did it, but haven't tried the rooting procedure yet. In the recovery menu, I saw a message about CSC being successfully applied. What does this mean...?

not sure what CSC stands for but it happens to us all, Dont worry about it, Its a good thing that it was applied successfully

Csc is country sales code. And yes as azzledazzle said, its normal to see that message.

All went well (or so I thought) but I have 2 problems:-
I don't think I'm properly or fully rooted. After following the above steps, I installed Mobile Odin Pro (v2.45) and attempted to flash CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip. I extracted the tar file, placed it on the external SD card and ran it using Mobile Odin Pro. However, upon rebooting, I see that my baseband, kernel version, build no. etc. are still showing exactly the same info in the 'About phone' section under Settings, ie.
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband Version
N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number
IML74K.XXLQ2
Is this normal or have I missed an important step? I saw on another thread that perhaps I should have extracted both the tar and zimage files from the CFRoot zip, and then flashed? If so, could someone kindly tell me exactly what to do. For info, SU seems to have installed ok and has granted the necessary permissions to CWM and Mobile Odin Pro as root apps but I can't get into or use either app. What am I missing or doing wrong?
After rebooting, I can no longer use Mobile Odin Pro so cannot attempt a proper flash of whatever kernel I should be using. I can mostly now not get past the 'Loading...Checking SuperUser support...' splash screen. During this period, I see a pop-up which confirms the app has been 'granted SuperUser permissions for an interactive shell'; this pop-up usually appears several times during this loading period. Very occassionally, it gets past the Loading screen but then stays for an equally lengthy time at the next 'Loading...Detecting device model...' screen. If it gets past that, it then fails to detect any device model so I cannot use the app. What am I doing wrong? I've tried rebooting several times - no joy. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app - again, no joy.
If anyone can help me out of my rooting misery, I'd be really grateful.
One more thing - I'm not completely clear how I revert to/reinstall a stock ICS ROM once I am properly rooted or from where the phone is now? Can someone please just clarify this for me.
Apologies for the long post - just wanted to give as much information as possible.
Many thanks to all who can help

im not so sure but when you installed cwm and buzybox you did so to flash a custom rom
if you flash a custom rom you will keep the phone root and so on (supersu ecc...)
else you loose partially the root and you need to reflash the apps you lost on rebbot
so choose good cutom ics and go for it
you might try cssie xlite....180 mega
or Rocket Rom 7 700 mg
both work well
p.s. never full wipe or factory reset on ics cfroot kernell....
just do t with abyss kernel 4.2 if you need it and read about eemmmc bug crack
p.s.2 look for drkeatan posts and chasmodo....they made good walkthrough pro

Thanks for the reply. I only rooted in order to use certain root apps (Root Explorer, Titanium Backup etc) and was under the impression that the CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip was basically a slightly modified stock ICS ROM with CWM included..?

The way I've always rooted is to run the adb script on a gb from, can be found in dr K's post. You need to be rooted before you can flash cwm kernel, 2 separate processes (although combined in some scripts.
There is also a thread somewhere with pre-rooted stock roms, so you could flash one of those as normal with PC Odin and then flash cwm kernel. Might be easier.

Need someone to point me to the right direction.

Hello everyone,
I am new here, and I need someone to point me to the right direction before I start to do anything crazy to my phone.
Here is my current phone info:
Android version
2.3.6
Baseband version
N7000XXLA4
Kernel version
[email protected]#2
Build number
GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
So my ultimate goal is to install Speed Mod Kernel and Stock ICS ROM on my phone but I am not really sure where to start. I really don't want to brick my device since I just got my phone 10 mins ago.
Thank you very much!

You can upgrade to Stock ICS via OTA. Go to Settings> About Phone> Software Update> Update. Or you can upgrade to ICS via Kies.
To flash the SpeedMod kernel you will first need to root your device. Use this guide by Dr.ketan to root your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Download the SpeedMod kernel** from here
http://touristinparadise.blogspot.co...-download.html
Download the kernel to your SD card (internal or external)
Now since you're rooted, download Mobile Odin, run it, grant access through Superuser and go to the kernel section inside Mobile Odin pro and look for the kernel that you earlier saved from the download.
After that, just tap on flash firmware (inside Mobile Odin still) and that would restart your phone and once booted, you now have a new kernel.

Thank you dr,ketan but why is it good to wipe cache and data from GB Rom before moving on? Is it going to make the device run faster or what?

It makes system clean
If any leftover remains, you won't get performance on ics.

As for flashing the speedmod kernel, u can either choose the ODIN way or flash it through CWM . Follow dr.Ketan's way of installing and youll be done in a jiffy
Else were here to help
Cheers!

An ultra squicky clean way would be to format all in mount section, that way you are sure to have a full clean phone. Losing all data and all possible lingering crap that could somehow interfere. Your phone wont reboot, but recovery still works as well as download mode. Which means you must have proper backup for pictures and such. Just dont restore by accident other crappy stuff. Again all this from a safe kernel booted recovery.
Warning: take out external sd card as you can also wipe that, and some instances of cwm have what appears to be sd swapped with external sd, been there done that, lost my backups many times rendering my phone useless, until I put a cwm flashable rom back on external and flashed it. Lost precious pictures to, stored in dcim on sd card.
Warning 2 if you loose imei/productcode/other efs stuff, with the backup you can get that back. Rare when it happens, but it happens, and had it multiple times.
Warning 3 if you ever use a kernel cleaning script, do not perform on unsafe kernel. And do not reboot recovery without flashing new kernel first, haven't made that mistake yet of rebooting without a kernel, but I don't think anything can safe your phone then.
Edit:all at own risk

Okay, by the looks of it I have the same phone as the original poster's. Your advice to update to ICS OTA or via Kies? Mine won't update. Kies says I have the latest ROM and so does the OTA update check. What am I doing wrong?

[Q] Samsung GT N 7000 - Yellow excalamation not bootin

Hello Team,
I thought of going for JB, before that I tried in googleplay verified through (Root Checker, joeykrim) whether it is rooted or not.. while the root checker says as "not rooted"
1. Through of the website it said tobe root so I installed through ODINv.3.04 : PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.63.tar.md5 (It said PASS) by default and (auto reboot) & (F.reset time) checked.
2. Device restarted with Yellow Exclamation mark with dead black screen.
3. Next I have done is Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache Partition but nothing worked.
4. PhilZ Touch 4 CWM Base version 6.0.2.8
Finally, I forgot to enable Debugging On. before entering into overall process.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sathish .J

Did u flash JB or just the Philz JB kernel ???

Hi Sathish,
went through your post.
Just answer the following to get the things clear:
1. What files did you flash?
2. Did you flash only the philz kernel or anything else?
3. Which version did you had before flashing the things?
And short and sweet what i can get from your message is that you just installed the kernel and not the whole OS (JB)
So just try answering or doing as above.
Press THANKS if this helped

Hello coolfire000,
Thanks for getting back. Actually I tried for getting root access through this package (PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.63.tar.md5).
Anyhow I retried back all through custom rom.
Nothing to worry.

OK bro,
Just to inform as i already mentioned in previous post, firstly you should flash any firmware and only then its rooted kernel to start your phone
And also please do remove the yellow exclamation mark with proper software to have warranty.
Hope this helped you.
Bye and best luck for future :good::good::good:

As I understand u had been flashed Philz xxlsz kernel which is based on JB. While u r flashing this kernel you were on a rom other than JB (Maybe GB or ICS) Thats why phone did not boot. Just follow below step may help you to recover your phone
Download n copy any custom rom based on JB XXLSZ to your memory card via Card reader since your phone is not functioning currently.
Boot your phone into recovery mode (Hold Vol up + Home and power key at sam time)
Do all wipes. Then select install from external sd card. Select previously copied custom rom. Wait until its fininsh every thing.. phone will reboot
Hope this help you.
For yellow exclamation triangle you may remove using CF trinngleaway app. It's available in the playstore.

[Q] can't access recovery after CWM 4.0.0.9 flash - Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 -please help!

Hi everyone,
I'm new so please be gentle with me -
Have just rooted my Galaxy GT-S5830
Running Gingerbread 2.3.4,
Baseband S5830BVKQB,
Kernel version [email protected]#1,
Build number GINGERBREAD.BVKQ9
using the file for the GT-S5830 from here: ( http://dengadgets.blogspot.co.uk/201...smarphone.html - root_S5830.zip) successfully, copying it to the root folder of the SD card and flashing it from recovery.
I Then tried to flash CWM 4.0.0.9 using the same method (which I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1168417 )
Now when I try and reboot in recovery it crashes at the Galaxy Ace screen, otherwise boots fine, and download mode still accessible - not sure why and am unsure about what to do about it. From reading a fair few Q+A posts I think I might need to flash the phone with stock rom using odin, but:
If I do will that wipe my data? (I have data on the phone that I really don't want to lose, particularly on memo - also can't backup on kies as support say the phone is too old and doesn't have that function available - backing it up is one of the main reasons why i'm going through this in the first place...)
Is there another way if it would wipe the data?
How do I avoid getting back in the same mess when flashing CWM?
If I do flash a stock rom / firmware with odin, does it have to be the one that was on there originally [France (Orange)] or can I use the latest UK one (with Gingerbread 2.3.5)?
I really apologise if this has been answered many times - i can't find it but would be grateful to anyone that can help / point me in the right direction
