Hi there!
Recently I've been trying to upgrade my SGS with a custom ROM, Darky's 4.0. After installing the ROM as instructed (using CWM and copying the ROM to the internal SD card), the ROM Installs, after the 1st boot it keeps looping, see video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWrijyv-8PM (not edited, sorry for that)
Original SGS:
GT-I9000T
I9000TUBJG7
Product code: GT-I9000HKTPCW
kernel: 2.6.28
Build: eclair.ubjg5
The first upgrade I made was via Kies reg-hack to: GT-I9000HKDXEU, 'I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3, and it installed Stock Froyo update. The SGS worked fine with exception of the radio, which didn't lock my 3G over the 850 band.
Currently:
9000M running STOCK Australian I9000UGJG8 (due to radio issues, besides the Canadian ROM, this is pretty much the only ROM which modem.bin's works properly with my network, 3G 850MHz).
FW:2.1-update1
Kernel 2.3.29 [email protected] #2
Eclair.UGJG8
I tried with the following STOCK ROMs prior to the custom ROM install: I9000XWJM1, I9000XWJG5, I9000XWJM9 and I9000UGJH2.
I have ALLWAYS made an SD unmount and format, formatted the cache and factory reset. After it loops, the only way to get it back is using downloader mode and installing a STOCK ROM via ODIN (always do a .512 pit repartition)
Any suggestions to make this SGS get the ROM? maybe the kernel is bad?
Cheers!
Have u tried to format everything (exept for sd) and flash again?
Btw i love infected

Format everything? Using which app or program?
I've always used the recovery's wipe commands and the *2767*3855# command. Is that enough? or am I missing another cooler and invasive method ? A friend has suggested to use davlik.
Yeah! Infected rulz, that's what I listen when I'm in the bricking-mood lol
As i saw you have cwm installed... Boot in recovery and select mount and storrage and then select eveeything that contains format (boot wont work to format) and dont select format internal sd but DO select format sd-ext
Edit: if it doesnt work write again then ill upload u the kernel that fixed it for me yesterday. Its from this forum but since ive discovered it by coinsidence, i cant remember how its called. U can format everything then select mout usb storrage (in cwm) and push it on the root of sd. Its an update.zip

I gave that a shot, still no cigar. I guess that it goes deeper than just a formatting... maybe that secret kernel u have might brick me... erhm! I mean help me
Shoot! and I'll try it.... this OEM sucky ROM aint working that good over the Australian ROM lol. now I lost access to my cam ! sucks.
Thanx!
Try any universal lagfix kernel with clockwork enabled. Since ur phone is still flashable and ur phone still has funktionality (cwm works) im pretty hopefull that it is software/sd format related. Thats one of those cases where servic centre sais a full flash is needed by now only they are able to do that:-( but till now i always found a way to work around that by trying everything in every way. I always thought my phone is bricked anyhow so it can just get better and by coincidence it worked all of a sudden

Ihave I900T with same rom image
and am trying to upgrade to FROYO as well. Any advice on how to do so would be appreciated. Tried the various registry hacks and none have worked. I'm happy to use Odin but not sure which is the correct ROM image to use (from samfirmware). Thanks!

Well, first thing is first. I've been a couple of weeks away from my SGS tweaking. I'm right know figuring a way to make a backup of my ROM (non-nandroid), in which I can extract the Kernel, Modem and CSC (I received a brand-new unit from my provider, so I will take advantage of it )
That way I can flash them back in case of a screw-up. I didn't have that much luck with modems offered in other ROMs, so I need to keep an OEM copy of my stuff.
Also make a good copy of your /efs folder in case you mess it up. It took me around 3 weeks of reading before I started making any changes to my phone, so I'll recommend doing the same; there's no "quick-start" or quickguide on how to start. You will en up with 6 different windows open reading from everywhere
The FWs from samfw are OEMs. Theres like "not much" of improvemente if you switch to those. Take special attention to the one you chose cause most likely you will lose your 3G and/or 850MHz band. I recommend using only Australian and Canadian ROMs(I9000UGJG8 and I9000UGJH2 worked for me, you might try also I9000UGJK3). Regarding custom ROMs, you will need to try and try until you get it right as our SGS model is not the most popular. This means endless flashing
Cheers.
Sgs froyo flash nam bands
Thanks for the advice. This project consumed my thanksgiving but I finally got a good working SGS in the ATT network. I bought an unlocked SGS from Negri Electronics with the USA 3G bands but it came without FROYO and didn't have the 3 button restore available. After reading and reading (your note about multiple open windows at the same time is all too true!) and trying and trying, I was finally able to get to download mode by installing all the Android SDK tools onto my PC then going in by way of ADB. Far more complicated than a simple registry hack and ODIN but it worked.
I installed the DOC BUJP8 v9 ROM with all the enhancements and AOSP Email (I tried and tried to get stock FROYO email to work with 2 exchange accounts but it was impossibly slow and didn't work) while AOSP is working fine.
It seems, because my SGS had the 850 bands to begin with, that it's working fine. I found this other post on XDA (#770041) that had some keycodes I was able to use (*#2263#) and confirm I still have the 850 band.
Needless to say, make a good backup and be prepared - as already warned - to flash several times and it was ultimately a "trial and error" process that worked.
does anyone have the original brazilian/latinamerican i9000T firmware? I flashed the SGS I got from Negri with spike speedy and it looks like I lost my 850 3G band.
I never did find out how to totally back up the SGS as in back up each PDA, PHONE, and CSC file so as to be able to truly factory default it.
Hello pls where i can get P990 stock rom zip ( czech version ) in zip format... for me is better instalation.
Please answer fast
I have backup stock rom but if i flash it .... in boot screen freeze and after 5 sec restart phone
You'll first need to convert your file system to EXT3 first. CM is EXT4 and stock is EXT3. Flash this zip in recovery: http://android.modaco.com/topic/336...3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/
So you'll need to do this in recovery:
1. Wipe everything
2. Flash the BackToExt3 zip
3. Restore stock rom backup.
This should work.
Nice big thx this is easy and very fast

I read this post above and cant go anywhere further because the silly rules do not allow noobsters to ask noobster questions ????
heres my problem,
I have P990 that came with froyo
the thing was working perfectly apart from front camera in Skype and silly old me, not being able to ask novice questions here (because you are not allowed) somehow managed to install the cryogen 9 naively thinking that this will fix the only problem I ever had. And then the world of unstability, locked and frozen screens, freezing, restarting, random uninstaling of apps, cameras not working, video freezing, music (what music??) not available and not even starting etc started to be my daily dose of my randomly properly working p990 phone.
Is there anyone kind enough to explain how to do stock rom as per above post install on top of my big mistake .
I have an unstable, unreliable (rooted ) P990 that is currently (very randomly) running cryogen 9 , I downloaded the 2 part files from trapacska's post (thanks for thinking of us mortals), I have 2 laptops , one with windows XP , one with windows 7 64 bit, a usb cable to connect laptop to the phone and I will to do anything to return my phone to some normality .
Please take me step by step or show me links how to do it and what other programs do I need in order to make my phone work as it is supposed to work.
Please understand that I do not understand what all this bellow means, and would really appreciate if anyone could explain or point to places where these things are explained ( please omit the first point, I found how to root elsewhere):
THIS IS 100% FACTORIAL STOCK:
-you have to root
-wipe data and cache NOW NOT NEEDED(built in format /system /data /cache)
-100% factorial stock kernel included
-baseband and recovery will not be changed
-if you have bootloop, try to flash backtoext3 first
Hello,
I tried searching for my problem in the forums but I didn't find my exact setup and don't want to brick my phone. (Well maybe it already is)
I had Cyanogenmod 7 for quite a while and tried the Nightlies for 9 some months ago. In the early days of my phone I used ODIN to flash the newest Stock firmwares and then used the chroot kernel to root my phone and install cwm. Since then I installed Cyanogenmod 7 and later Cyanogenmod 9 Nightlies with cwm recover and there was never a problem.
Today I tried the ROM from DerTeufel1980 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28819140
I flashed the rom, the addons, the superuser and google now fix. Then I flashed the kernel Devil3_1.0.0-Rc5_datadata_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120719.zip and fixed permissions. After that my phone wouldn't boot. The boot animation was the old standard android logo.
I managed to get into Devil Kernel Recovery and thought to try a reflash of just the ROM but when I try to "choose a zip" it always tells me
E:can't mount /sdcard/
After that I flashed the kernel with odin and now the phone seems to boot but veeeery slow and it has a ton of flickering the whole time. The bootanimation is the cyanogenmod 9 boot animation. I got into Devil Recovery and I still can't mount the sdcard. And it seems that it doesn't detect my sim card.
I hope you can help me.
Edit: Actually after rebooting several times the boot sped up and I could get into the ROM. I still can't mount the internal sdcard though and I have no phone functionality. It seems that my IMEI number is gone.
Hey
Downgrade your sgs to 2.3.6 valuepack using odin3...
Then root it and use it for a day atleast..
Then flash CM9 nightly..use that for a day too..
Then flash JB...not the same one u did earlier..
Instead Goto teamjellybean.noez.in (ad www.)
Find d latest version of jb and follow the instruction there..
Cheers

Thanks that's exactly what I have done and it worked.
I've seen a lot of folks saying that they might have bricked their phones when some issue occured while flashing a new rom.
Personally whenever I face issues, I just goto the Download mode and Flash a GB rom and then move my way up (GB --> ICS --> JB).
As long as you can go into Download mode, shouldnt be a problem
Fwiw, I lost my IMEI for the first time trying out the JBs. Not sure if it was Slim or DerTeufel's. I ended up with the kind that allows you to connect to your mobile provider, a fake but working IMEI. But when I saw that I tried to go to GB and it didn't come back automagically. And the IMEI was totally wiped so I couldn't even register on the network. Ended up getting to ICS and only then did Root Browser let me write to the efs folder.
Lesson, in short: make a backup zip of your efs folder (to preserve permissions) and double back it up using Nitrality from the Play store.
Glad you got yours back, too.

OK, so I'm *definitely* a crappy speed-reader, because I missed this part about waiting on each version. What does the waiting do? I'm now wondering if that means I need to use the phone and, with the restored /efs folder, sometimes later /dev/block/stl3 will repopulate itself with the proper info.
Hey
I asked to wait on roms coz it can just make a few things working...like data..if it doesnt work on 1 rom it would not (probably) work on the next update..(personal experience)..

If my post helped, don't mind hitting the Thanks button..
Hi, I am Noobie & I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy note, GT-N7000, on gingergbread 2.36, using the ..XXLB1 kernal, I bought the device in spain with a CSC- OXXLB1. * Whilst I absolutely love this device and would like to keep the ROM, I am really tired of un-wanted apps seemingly doing what THEY want, some of these apps appear hazardous to security. With this it's strange to own a "computer" and not have access to all its parts? Consequently I appear forced to "root" this device- and take charge!
After exhaustive reading of the XDA site (for which I am seriously grateful) It seems I have to flash with odinPC a pre-rooted "older GB rom" and then use the newly installed CWMR5 to flash any stock or custom rom after (as long as its chainfire!)- from the external sd card. Accepting this procedure is correct? I still have some questions that hopefully the forum can answer- before I comit to bricklaying! *
1. Is this the only method I can use? Will the device be exactly the same as before, but rooted, after re-upgrading back to the stock XXLB1, from chainfire- despite this rom being "not directly rootable"? *
2. In respect of using the external sdcard to flash from. Does it matter if I flash from sdcard via the usb port, or do I have to use the slot next to the battery? After flashing, does the zimage run from the device ROM, or do I have to keep the sd card installed- does this slow things down? What happens to the original ROM and boot loader? *
3. With CWMR5 it seems I can "wipe" all the caches etc- from recovery. What happens if I use factory reset- does it go back to original and lose everything else? Is it true I can only flash up to 50 times? *
4. Ordinarily I would prefer to flash the device ONLY through a PC based loader (odin/ heidemall). Noting my kernal seems to prohibit this, is it possible to completely erase every thing that comes with stock and re-flash, on a virgin device, any appropriate PDA, Modem, PIT file or boot loader of my chosing- ie be in a position to know exactly what my device is upto and "have Control"- you know, a Linux! *
5. Lastly despite rooting the device, as above, some users appear still to have problems with some apps not staying shut down or problems when deleting them. Such apps include "maps"and "mobile tracker"! Is this simply a case of setting permissions correctly and using a good start up manager, or are such apps so embedded that they can not be removed/ stopped? On my device every time I hit the "home" button a whole host of apps start up, if rooting cannot provide a way to solve this then it would appear almost pointless to root in the first place.
Sorry so many questions, but this is a tricky subject and it would be nice to clarify I am on the right track, if any one can answer any of them I'd really appreciate it. Trying real hard not to FUp!
Many thanks
1. you can just download a stock ICS rom for your country, flash it, root using hydracore kernel, cfroot or any custom kernel, then use triangle away to remove the custom binary counter,,, you can also flash custom roms...
all of these must be done after a lot of reading...
2. i don;t really get the part where you say "or do I have to use the slot next to the battery?".
but with respect to zImage or other files, you can delete them after flashing... the original rom or bootloader is replaced if you flash files that replace them..(i am starting to think that i am not making any sense, lol)
3. using factory reset deletes everything from the phone... that's why, it is often required before flashing custom roms... also, you can flash as much as you want, provided, that you FOLLOW instructions or else you may end up posting a "i-am-bricked topic", which is often accompanied by some whining.. LOL...
other users report that they have 100+ flash counters, which mean they have flashed more than 100 times...
4. i dont get the part where you say that your kernel prohibit you to flash... but you can flash anything, provided that again, you read the instructions..
5. i don't experience any of that, my guess is that you have a branded phone?? i am using an international note and i don't expience that...
to other members, please feel free to correct me i said anything wrong.. just trying to help a fellow here, i know the feeling of having a new phone, it's like living in a different world.
and yeah, thats one hell of a post, many users might find your post too long to read.

yeah atleast follow paragraph rules.. its really hard to point what exactly u want to achieve..
1: > to root.. best is to be on ICS > download a kernel for ur ICS rom from here > flash it from stock recovery.. u will have root and custom recovery.. no changes to apps or data wat so ever.. no triangle as well
2: > its not adviced.. its better to keep the flashing roms file internal storage or external SD slot besides the battery.. the OTG mite not mount in the recovery. what zImage are u referring to ?
3&4 : > Custom roms can only be flashed from CWM..Odin flashes stock roms.. if u do a factory reset it will delete all userapps and data.. but doesnot delete anything on the internal storage .. has to be done manually
for flashing roms
format /system
format /data
format / cache
wipe dalvik cache
5: > with root u can almost uninstall anything eg Titanium backup. with root u can control the apps that startup when boot, connectity changed, power connected, media mounted.. etc.. using (romtoolbox >autostart manager)/ (autostarts) etc.
Tired. need to rest my fingers
newer GB root
Thanks for replies, sorry about lack of paragraphs- copied & paste as I had a lot of questions and lost format in transition. (51 year old noobie!).
I am using a Samsung Galaxy note, GT-N7000, on gingergbread 2.36, using the ..XXLB1 kernal, I bought the device in spain with a CSC- OXXLB1.
I would like to root the device and keep as close to stock as possible. *
From the XDA site it seems, with my kernal being a newer GB kernal, I cannot use "zurgrush" or any other method for 1st root. It appears I have to flash a pre-rooted "older GB rom", from Chainfire, and then upgrade back to near stock ROM after. *
In respect of questions 1 & 2, and the responces.
I mearly wished to confirm if this was the only option open to me and also to check that after re-flashing chainfires XXLB1 kernal and ROM, that the phone would be as close to stock as possible- but now with root.
Both replies suggested I flash ICS, which I was not looking for (and it seems cwm6 can only be used on an original ICS, and not GB?).
After reading about all the problems with ICS I am happy to keep GB, particularly as this was written for my phone, in future I intend to customise this ROM to my own requirements.
However I am concerned that if I use chainfire/root to initially root my device, this may limit my option in the future?
For Q2. I just wanted to confirm that I could remove the external SD card after flashing, ie, is the new ROM flashed onto the internal SD memory. *
In respect of question 4. I was very surprised to read that Odin can only flash stock ROM's. I believed that Odin could flash any appropriate PDA, Modem, PIT file or boot loader of my choice? I would very much appreciate clarification of this situation as the forum gives the impression it is better to flash via PC, weather rooted or not? Note: All initial roots appear to be via PC? *
Thanks for your patience, I'm happy with answers to Q3 & 5. But dearly need clarification on my initial root options.
PS: The wise monkey watches his mates fall from the tree first. Many thanks. *
yep odin can flash PIT, files boot loaders and (PDA, CSC and PHONE but needs .tar file)
odin can flash custom kernels as well in .tar format.
newer GB problem
Hi, Samsung Galaxy Note, GT-N7000, on gingergbread 2.36, ..XXLB1 kernal, *CSC- OXXLB1 (Spain). I'm trying to root the device+ keep as close to stock if*possible? *
From reading the XDA, with my kernal being a newer GB kernal, I have to flash a pre-rooted "older GB rom", from Chainfire, and then upgrade back to near stock ROM after. *
I've just tried this method (using FACTORYFS.tar, as adviced)- via OdinPc. Unfortunately it did not work. Odin stops at "factoryfs.img", with no increasing status bar- this issue is covered in a Dr Ketan post (No:4- 3rd Jan, 2012).
All of the help from here assumes bricking- or resolution for allready rooted devices! *
Luckily I am not bricked & I am able to shut down the device, via 3 buttons, and the device will boot up as normal stock. After disconnecting USB cable, Odin prompts of a total write failure.
Tryed reloading drives, cables etc, but it just can not load the .img file.
I do not get any counter displayed in top right corner.
Note: The .tar file only had the factoryfs.img inside, the other file was a zimage kernal (after 1st unzip) do I need this? *
One last point is I am flashing from a 2000 laptop, with an older usb version- don't see why this should hurt unless the samsung drivers have issues, note the yellow high light suggests all is well before starting Odin. *
I am really stuck from here, would appreciate any advice as to what I can do now- even if it means I can not have a near stock GB.
Many thanks,
Hi Cheapskate1,
I have been following this thread for a while, because your situation seems very much to resemble mine. I have however hesitated to offer you advice because I am pretty inexperienced myself. I did however root my Note in the same way as you are trying, with much enormously valuable help from XDA members in this forum. And I found it very valuable to have the device rooted. At the moment you seem to be at the same point as I was here. I suggest you have a look at this thread, and try to follow what I did from there.
The first part of the way you can follow from the posts in the thread. In the second part of the process I was helped by an XDA member (Afilopou) who preferred to use PMs to communicate so as not to make the thread unnecessarily long. I have his permission to forward those PMs to anyone I think could be helped by them. I think I can safely say that if your Note will still start normally then you are not bricked. When I was at this stage the problem was the USB connection. So perhaps you could try a different USB port on your PC. The PC-Note USB connection is a tricky business in my (limited) experience with many variables which you may need to troubleshoot before it works.
I'll keep following your progress with interest.

Many thanks for your post syncopath,
I downloaded the usb drivers from softpedia and noted the file was a. Bin (binary), and dont,t know what to do with this on a windows machine?
These drivers appear to be a lower version from the ones I got from Dr Ketans tool box, which is 1.5.5.0.
Consequently I'm still stuck on the "factoryfs.img prompt.
It is worth noting my computer is an ME laptop, 2000, and I have currently a hacked version of XP running on it, and I note the compatability settings for the samsung driver application does not cater for this, only older machines inc, NT, but not XP.
The only other thing is my usb is not part of the boot run up, and so it might be any port I use would act like a "front usb instead of a "motherboard usb."
Anyone with any comments appreciated, I will try to find a newer machine to try again, but in the mean time- HELP
Thanks again,
newer GB rom
Hello again, Still do not have root???? *
Changed computer, loaded XP OS, Odin and Samsung drivers- v.1.5.5.0. Re-booted computer & started Odin added factoryfs.tar, before attaching phone, in stock recovery mode. Still had same problem, as "Syncopath" mentioned in previous post. Odin showed as follows, *
Com3 added,
Odin engine,
File analysis,
Set up connection,
Initialization,
Get PIT mapping,
Firmware update started,
Factoryfs.img. *
Essentially only things not changed are, phone/cable, plus computer OS and flash files.
Sincerity "yellow" flash, on ID:Com, is present- assume drivers are working?
Assume since Odin is able to setup firmware update, that all is fine untill Odin tries to flash the chainfire ROM .img file. *
The phones boot graphics are all static, none moving, with text in top left corner-
Odin mode,
Custom ROM- No,
Originial stock ROM- Yes. *
To me all of this implies the phone will not accept any custom ROM.
Which raises the questioning, can I flash a complete stock, say ICS, via OdinPC?
And then use a root method, for ICS, after?? *
I previously asked if the "zimage" file, that came from first un-zip, should be added to the .tar file. In some respects this makes sence as the .tar file only has the ROM image- factoryfs.img file.
Reasonably a modified kernal part would also be needed to circumvent the stock boot process??? Only guessing. *
Quite desperate for some advice now. Otherwise I will have to buy a pot plant- they come with roots pre- installed.
Perhaps all rooted phones should be named after plants??? TTFN.
lol... I would say best is to install stock ics and then root as its very easy and safe
u just need to download philz kernel and flash it from the stock recovery and bam u have root.
*don't wipe while on ics stock kernel

This is strange.

An .exe should be self executing on any Windows system.
I have just reloaded it actually as I no longer have the previous version. I see that nominally the drivers are for the Galaxy-S but this worked for me using my Note with Windows XP. I am now retrying it on my old XP laptop.
As things now stand, how do you see your Note's SD-cards in Windows explorer?

Just to be sure: is your computer running Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP or what else? Windows ME and Windows 2000 date from around 1999/2000 so I would recommend not using drivers much more advanced than that.

Installed the aforesaid executable. Rebooted and connected my Note to the laptop via USB and after a lot of dithering the 2 SD cards became visible in explorer with drive letters. Did you get that too?

Many thanks, I ve looked at this, re-your previous, and believed it would only work on an existing ICS???
Really appreciate confirmation I can use this with my stock GB, considering my kernal issue??
Thanks for you time man.

This is strange. I just re-downloaded from the softpedia link http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml for Samsung drivers, and I get SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe I did select the "Softpedia Secure Download (US) [EXE]" link on the way. An .exe should be self executing on any Windows system.
I have just reloaded it actually as I no longer have the previous version. I see that nominally the drivers are for the Galaxy-S but this worked for me using my Note with Windows XP. I am now retrying it on my old XP laptop.
As things now stand, how do you see your Note's SD-cards in Windows explorer?

I tried the same link and got a .bin, even though the link stated. Exe (US). (No firewall or security centre).
Perhaps my hacked XP is an issue, I did try with internet online, re-Chasimodo?, but no update was saught! So assumed my drivers were ok, also had "yellow" light? And using Dr ketan toolbox drivers, v.1.5.5.0.
Havnt looked through "explorer" whilst flashing. Had looked when I was using kies once, is there any thing can be done here?
Thanks 4 driver advice, perhaps will try loading back to ME and seek driver update.
Presumably if I can use explorer drivers must be ok? Flip side.
One idea is it possible to use my galaxy Tab10 to flash to my note, its the only kit I have that hasnt been "robbed or modified"- not bad 12 yrs outa my old ME laptop- sgot ethernet & everything!. Ah- I've also got a small linux distro that works well- any thoughrs on this being a better way to plash- re- heidemall?
Please wait to reply until my next post. Re- Oops.
GB what next
Hello again, Oops, oops.....oops??? *
Accidently used "volume up/*power & home keys to put in flash mode! *
Normally I have used the volume down*key, which comes up with R2D2 and a "loading...." text displayed+ (top left text)
This relates to all my previous posts. *
This 2nd screen (from using vol/up), shows the "Samsung Galaxy Note, GT-N7000" splash, twice, and then displays the following at-Top left screen (Blue). *
Android system recovery (3e) * Enter: OK key, Select: vol UP/vol Down. Reboot system now. Apply update from sdcard. Wipe data/ factory reset. Wipe cache partion. Test redband fota[FS].
* There is Yellow text, mid screen, which details the boot up of the CSC, code PHE. Presumably this required to provide function for this "Boot/ Recovery" mode??
* My main question is what is the difference between the 2 start up modes- this appears to be a pretty crucial ???? Am I using the right one? * Is this recovery a pure! "Android" or a "Samsung mix"? * I have a stock GB on my external sdcard- yet I cannot access it through this menu?
* After pressing "apply update from SDcard", what is a DCIM instal? What is difference between- SDcard and USB storage (doH- is this the 32 pin power connector)?
* If I pressed the "Wipe data/ factory reset" will this clear the external SD or is it the same as a normal factory reset. * Does "Wipe Cache Partion" clear all partion tables (PIT files)??
* Lastly what is redband "fota". System boots normal, but I have previously added one update to phone? *
Because I,m not sure about all the above I will refrain from testing any further, if the forum could fill in the blanks, twood be jolly helpful. *
Old monkey- perfectly willing to fall outa the tree- but not sure of best route? *
PS: Is "cheapskate hacked off at my use of "cheapskate1"? I am after all notoriously frugal, with 20yrs at sea- I,m a skate! Private messages welcome. *
PPS: Noobie, with many Q? trying hard to limit post length- sorry moderators.

Nice one, what exacktly can be done in stock recovery- can I flash a stock ICS?
Re- your earlier post, Using the link provided by you- Philz/cwm6 and ICS,
About half way down, there is a comparison. Cwm6 v CF-root
And it says can only be used on existing stock ICS,
Please confirm, GB with non-prerootable kernal> to ICS via Philz/Cwm6 or
Flash stock ICS then Philz/Cwm6 to get root?
Can I flash stock via stock recovery, or better still Odin, what version of odin for ICS.
Keep cool
correction

Must appologise, I originally downloaded the softpedia driver set via the Tab10, wifi, twice, and each time .bin- very strange?
All down loads same. Transfered files via USB ( v.1.5) to my old laptop, originally ME. Now using hacked xp on it.
Also tried hack xp on desk top computer, usb v.20, prob' 10 yrs old? Same results.
Can I Tab10 to my note- it would resolve the hardware issues?
Thanks again.

Philz is a stock ICS kernel with emmc erase disabled to make it safe. as its a stock ICS kernel..it will only work with ICS only.
so as u on GB now.. just upgrade to the latest version of ICS,
go to philz thread and download the kernel that corresponds to your rom,
install it from stock recovery
- OTA, and a very few mods can be installed from stock recovery.. and you cannot flash any ROM using 3e recovery

I suggest you get your desktop sorted first so that you can download the right files to it to install Samsung USB drivers and get your Note recognised. Trying to download files via your Note isn't going to make that easier and you need a properly functioning desktop to run PC Odin.
