Flasing JB from ICS

Hi,
im not pretty sure how to flash safely from my ICS to JB (CM10).
Im on RocketROM ICS XXLPY v3 with the Notecore Kernel.
In the developer threads there is mentioned that you have to upgrade from
CM9 or something like that.
I just want to get sure, before bricking my note .
Hope somebody can explain to me which methods are safe and which not.
Thanks !

Safe methods:
- Flashing from GB kernel ( for CM9 )
- Flashing from custom / non-stock ICS kernel that had the format command removed
- Flashing from CM9 / CM10 kernels
Brick methods:
- Flashing from anything ICS that came from Samsung
Simply follow the instructions in the thread and you'll be fine.
Check if Notecore kernel is "safe". If it is, you're ready to go. If it's not, you need to flash safe kernel first, and then go for CM10.
If you're afraid or anything, you can always go the long way: stock GB via PC Odin > root > CM9 > CM10, although we should really stop using this method now because devs put a lot of work so that we won't have to do it like that.

Okay.
My way, i would try it:
1. Flash AbyssKernel 4.2 over my ICS RocketROM ICS XXLPY v3.
2. Reboot the recovery
3. Flash CM9 and GApps
4. Factory Reset/Data Wipe
5. Reboot
6. Reboot in Recovery
7. Flash CM10 and GApps
8. Factory Reset/Data Wipe
9. Reboot
The only part, which makes me unsure is "Flashing from anything ICS that came from Samsung". You mean the kernel or could RocketROM brick my note cause its from a samsung firmware ? Even if i flash Abyss before ?
Sorry for asking again, but the Note is a expensive device and I dont want to go back to my Lumia 900
Thank you !

This is my metod. All working good on my N7000

My method:
-Flash CM9 kernel with PC Odin
-Boot into CWM and flash CM10+gapps
-wipe/factory reset and wipe dalvik
done

Help newbie with installing new ROM

Hi, I'm stuck with installing new rom, so I hope, that you'll help me.
There are steps what I've done:
- followed THIS topic and ROOT the device with ODIN and CF-Root 4.4 file.
- OKAY, I'm rooted, so let's flash the new ROM
- entered in Clockworkmod Recovery and format EVERYTHING ( /data, /system, /cache, /sdcard etc.... just everything) for clear system
- next I load package with ROM and than INSTALLL
and here is the most important part
- when installed ROM gets something like bootloop but with restart - ROM is loading and after about 40 sec its RESTART
- and the same thing over and over again - restart ->loading->restart.... System never start up correctly to the end
- then when I saw that it does not work, I tried go into the CWM, but there was no CWM (!!!) - it was erased (by installing new ROM maybe???)
- so I must flash (old and stock) ROM via ODIN and again root device with CF-Root (with CWM) - that was only functional rom, what I was able to run, and again did this procedure
I tried this way, perhaps with millions of different ROM and EVERY was stucked (restart) while loading.
I think there are some non-deleted files in device, which should be erased (and which cannot be erased by CWM) for clear start of new installed ROM, what do you think?
Would someone please help me? I don't want old Gingerbread with Kies
Thanks for every responce!

Does it say in the thread that you have to flash a custom kernel?? Give.me the link for the thread so I can make sure that you've done everything right

there is a link, but in hypertext THIS, i repost it in full text:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
I think, when I've root and CWM, there is no problem and install a new rom will be very least, so not as it seems

Dude this is a kernel not a rom what's the matter with you??:what:
Sent from ma 5assak

please read all my topic - i flash this kernel only for clockworkmod recovery
through CWM I can flash any other rom
through ODIN only stock - cant find any ICS or JB rom which I can flash via ODIN (.tar file)

What variant of i9000 do you have? Are you sure that the rom you are trying to flash is made exactly for your variant?
EDIT: Try Darky ROM, they have an ODIN flashable version called "Resurrection Edition" or something.

I mean give me the link for the Rom you are using not kernel

Samsung Galaxy S I9000, i'm sure 100%. NOT I9001, NOT Samsung Galaxy S2. Tried many roms from Development section for I9000, tried from get.cm etc... always the same result bootloop with restart

I meant I9000 or I9000B or I9000M or I9000T there's a difference between them

I9000 only, checked it several times

Ok so you can flash Darky Rom Resurrection Edition through ODIN with no problem. Its GingerBread if i remember correctly, but it should give you a recovery mode and fully operating phone. From this point you can flash whatever you want.

....And there is one more important thing:
When I have a stock kernel and stock rom from Samsung, cant get into recovery mode - VOLUME UP and POWER non functional. Only when I type: "adb reboot recovery" in terminal.
Just after when I flash a new pre-rooted kernel with CWM, VOLUPE UP and POWER is now functional
k4Z3666: OK, I try and give you an echo I think, when I format everything in CWM, there will be no sign of the earlier system and ALL WILL BE CLEAR

ok, flashing ICS, may need to be done twice, as first flash may bootloop, IF you want to return to stock to get out of this mess, since you are not sure as to where you are now, due to flashing many roms, use any kit from My Android Collections, link below to get you to a booting ROM, than add a kernel with CWM (use EZbaze package with kernels)

that's helped me too thank you

[Q] changing from RocketRom ICS -> ParanoidAndroid CM10/AOSP

Hi all.
I'll make it concise. I'm not really sure about the way to change my custom rom from Rocket Rom (I'm currently at V12) to ParanoidAndroid - CM10/AOSP based (current latest version is 2.51, I believe). I've read through the instruction, but it really confuses me. Any advice/instruction will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
P/s: my kernel is NoteCore_v14.1

You are on a safe kernel
So simply copy the rom into your sdcard and flash through cwm recovery

Hi,
To be able to flash paranoind and get as less bugs as possible , please do the following :
1. Make sure you are on a safe kernel ( if not download 1 and copy it on you phone )
2. add paranoind on your phone , start into recovery ( if your current kernel is not a safe, flash the one you have just downloaded) and do a full wipe ( data , partition , dalvik )
3. flash paranoid android
4. flash gapps from 11/10/2012
Don't flash any custom kernel over paranoind android , I think they must get updated to a new driver
Have fun

[SOLVED] Taking the leap - first update from stock GB to CM10.1 - right process?

Got a Galaxy Note (N7000) in Australia back in March 2012 (and loving it ). Been reading the forums for about 6 months now - was thinking about upgrading to ICS for a bit, then Jelly Bean came out so I held off. It's taken a while but looks like a few JB roms stable enough that I'm keen to try out - CM10.1 & Paranoid Android.
Really want to try out Paranoid Android but CM10.1 looks like its in a better state so looking to try that, at least until PA moves to JB4.2.1.
I'm aware of the brick bug and not to full wipe (aka factory reset) on an ICS or JB kernel unless known to be safe & I'm making sure I MD5 verify downloads where I can. I've watched a bunch of tutorials on YouTube regarding rooting & installing custom ROMs but I can never be sure how directly they apply to my particular phone/kernel or if their out-of-date (and don't trust their downloads).
Some info:
Phone: Note N7000
Location: Australia
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341
Android version: 2.3.6
* Just want to check whether my process is correct before going ahead:
Can I just install the latest PhilZ JB Kernel here (XXLSC-XJB (JB Leak) "-signed.zip"), using stock recovery to install? I believe it would be incompatible with my current GB stock ROM but my plan is to install this kernel, reboot recovery, then a CM10 kernel (latest from Chasmodo's Kernel Repository, reboot recovery, install CM10.1 ROM (Chasmodo's nightly (20121217)), factory reset and reboot.
Will this cause in problems (keeping in mind I'm coming from an unrooted GB rom)? I've already read about downgrading to a rootable GB ROM and/or using ODIN with a pre-rooted GB ROM including CWM. Another option is ahalford's CM install guide here which seems to indicate I can just flash the "CM9_safe_kernel.tar" via PC Odin - but I'm not sure this will give me CWM (seems more to be a safety measure for upgrading from stock ICS).
Thanks in advance for any assistance and a huge thanks to all who have helped work alternate rom/kernels & community that make all this possible.
--Zar.

Finally worked it out So here's an update & details on how I did it (haven't got much time to post, so apologies for the mess )
After my post I read that TW (touchwiz) kernals (which PhilZ is) are incompatible with CM roms - not sure why this is as I thought the stock kernel/ROM was TW anyway. The official instruction for CM10.1 when coming from PhilZ was to go back to GB so my previous plan seemed a bit redundant.
After reading the tutorials on here a few more times I found the one that works for me. I followed Dr Ketans step one from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Step One:
"As name suggest flashing This ROM with PC odin, you will have ready made Root + CWM. This ROM was modified by ChainFire (All credit goes to him only). And you can flash it using PC Odin without getting exclamation mark/raise flash counter.
Download :
http://d-h.st/HJM
Mirror"
Downloaded pre-rooted GB image (with CWM) from link above, installed via PC Odin.
Attempted to use KTool to backup EFS but didn’t work
Home button didn’t work for normal use but did allow me to get into recovery mode.
From CWM recovery I followed steps to install Chasmodo’s CM10.1 from here :
install from zip: CM10 kernel
advanced: reboot recovery
install from zip: CM10.1 nightly
install from zip: GApps
factory reset
reboot
CM10.1! Yay
Ktool now works - but EFS verification doesn't (will look into this).
Google backup/restore automatically grabbed my contacts & previous apps.
Data didn't work as the APN's set up for Vodafone whereas I'm on Crazy Johns (related networks in Australia - Crazy Johns uses Vodafone network so I guess that's why it picked up the Vodafone APN). Updating with APN info from Crazy Johns website fixed this.
Happily running CM10.1 now

[Q] General Questions with my N7000! Please Help!

Hello all... After reading here and there and in other forums, I have a series of questions that I would really appreciate if anyone can answer based on facts...
I currently have a Galaxy Note N7000 with this settings:
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version:
3.0.15-n7000XXLPY-CL474507
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT Fri May 4 04:49:06 KST 2012
Build Number: IML74K.XXLPY
I want to install the 4.1.2 leaked version (already downloaded it) BUT I have some questions:
1.- I have read in different sites that I just need to do it with ODIN, no wipe required; and in other sites I have read that after installing, a wipe is required. Which one is it?
2.- According to many sites, by wiping I am at risk of hard bricking my note because of the death bug found in ics kernels. Should I still wipe?
3.- If after testing 4.1.2 I decide to roll back to I.C.S.... Again I should do that via Odin... but again I should wipe right? At risk again of bricking?
4.- This leaked version DOES NOT accept the s-pen functions at all right? so basically my spen would just be useless...
5.- THe recovery that is installed in the phone is the basic recovery that came with the phone, I havent changed it... I have read that installing some recovery files is dangerous. Which recovery is recommended?
6.- My note is NOT rooted... Does this affect my possibility of updating with this leaked firmware?
7.- and final... Do you guys recommend that I update or should I wait for the official firmware?
Sorry for the long post, but I need advice from the best ...
Greetings from Venezuela

1. you can install that without wipes using PC odin. but its a matter of luck. if it gets stuck in a boot look then you will need to do a factory reset and for that to be safe you need to install a safe kernel Philz XXLSA (i guess thats what you downloaded)
get it from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
can be flashed using stock recovery and external SD
2. No, Always install a safe kernel and perform wipe
3. You may have to wipe this time for a proper boot as it might enter a boot loop. Same procedure, install Philz and do a factory reset. Its better to do a nandroid backup of ICS rom if you wish to return back to ICS. this way all your settings apps and customizations will be restored.
4. Incorrect. Spen is fully functional on JB leaks TW based.
5. Philz works perfectly with JB TW roms. Recovery is not dangerous. Its what you perform on it without proper reading is dangerous
6. No, PC odin can successfully flash a JB TW rom on to a non rooted Phone. But if it enters a boot loop install Philz kernel to do a reset from recovery
7. Its a long wait and no one knows when its gonna come. so if me, i would do it and i have been on all the JB TW roms available till now.
I would say, do it, do it the right way and you will enjoy the phone.
You can root your current ICS phone using the Philz kernel PhilZ-cwm6-XXLPY-XEN-v2.7 and then do a backup from recovery to be able to revert back with no problems.

Thank you so much for your reply... will do it today

Bienvenidos

Dude, another question... When you say JB TW version... What do you mean by TW...? I downloaded the one from sammobile PDA N7000XXLSA CSC N7000OXALSA... Is this a good one?

Yes. TW is TouchWiz, samsung Roms

You rock! Thank you so much... I will start doing this right now... Hope it doesnt die on me... I'm going to flash the PhilZ file and then work through the JB update... Crossing fingers...

anything, just update the post

Quick question... First: flash PhilZ... Then Wipe and then Odin? or do I go with Odin and then Wipe Data/Cache

first flash Philz, boot into recovery do a backup, then Odin, install Philz for XXLSA then wipe

Ok problems!!!! Flashed Philz (link you gave me) and when reboots, it doesnt get past the NOTE logo... I entered Recovery to do a backup and gonna go wo download mode with ODIN to update to JB and then do wipe from Philz... I-m scared beyond my pants if that makes sense at all...

Your current ROM is XXLPY right ?, which kernel did you install ? If you installed an ICS kernel , your phone should boot anyway, but if you installed a JB kernel then it wont

Yeah my bad... I installed a JB PhilZ kernel... I did a backup and flashed via ODIN the leaked 4.1.2... It loaded fine... , now my question is... Should I still update to the JB kernel for my version of JB? or do I stay with the one I installed... another question... should I still wipe?

OK. Main thing first. Now that you have backed up your rom, and the backup contains a JB kernel and ICS rom, so in future if you choose to restore the backup, dont be surprised if the phone does not boot. Later change the kernel to ICS
Which kernel did you install, update to your version of the kernel.
If the phone is fine, dont do a wipe. You can do it when you face some issues like Force close of apps or something not working as it should

I get it... will update the Philz to the right vkernel... Everything is working beautifully... Thank you for your support and patience!
