[Q] Can I Go back to Stock 2.1 with unlocked bootloader?

Hi guys, I have a X8 with GingerDX 21 and doixanh linuxkernel 004.
I'm going to sell my Xperia and the new owner wants to go back to my backup of stock eclair 2.1...
Can I restore with CMW? I made it with xrecovery... If not, how can I start the xrecovery instead cmw?
Can I restore the backup with no problems with my bootloader unlocked?

You can recover the stock kernel and stock ROM to the device. There should be links to those around here somewhere.
Also, you can try to install xRecovery again, but i'm not sure if this is possible when CWM is installed already..

I have my backup of stock rom.. if I restore from recovery, must I flash first a stock kernel too?? Is not the kernel in the backup?

I think that theres an option to restore xRecovery backup in CWM.

NAND backup (made with recovery) only backups ROM, so, yes, you will have to flash stock kernel as well.

-Install stock rom with cwm or xrecovery (phone will bootloop) then
-Flash stock kernel..
There u go...

You should use the Flashtool link, which flashes the stock ROM & stock kernel at once

Thanks again... I was checking my files in the hard disk and them were there too...
Now crossing my fingers and flashing...
Original Kernel flashed. Any problem! Now everything is a breeze thanks again.

Odin stuck on Nand write

Hello,
I have the Samsung N7000, but it is stuck on Odin too.
My phone is not bricked or something like it, but I want Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.5 on it so I can flash Cyanogenmod 11 KitKat on it.
It is stuck on NAND WRITE too. I already have Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.2.8 on it, so I need to upgrade it.
Any suggestions??
Best regards, Joey

You have not mentioned the file you were trying to flash.. No mind readers here...
Anyways, flash raw kernel from the current recovery and reboot recovery.

Sorry, I tried flashing Clockworkmod 6.0.4.5 tar.md5 file.
It ran till it said NAND WRITE START and than FAIL. The collor above turned red and instead of PASS it said FAIL!
So raw kernel should fix this?
Do you have a link maybe? I'll search for it on Google but I want to make sure I have the good file.
Edit*
I found what you told me, but it says that raw kernel is for Android 4.4?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397000
I have 4.1.2 so I'm not sure if this will brick my device or something like that.
My device is all working fine and it is not bricked or bootloop YET, and since it has that NAND WRITE fail I'm not sure if it will reinstall my stock rom.. if it may brick.

I will still say what I wrote above.. Flash raw r4..reboot recovery and flash kk rom.

Allright, but I don't need to upgrade my cwm then? Because on several websites are telling me that I need at least Philz touch CWM 6.0.4.3 on it..

1. To flash a kitkat rom you will need a recent Cwm recovery.
2. Philz tw kernel are not updated to latest cwms.
3. If you try to flash philz_touch_xxx.zip, it won't work as you already saw.
So if you want to root the phone, use philz tw kernel that is associated with a rom build number like XXLTA.. Then you will get Cwm but not recent enough flash kk. That's why you flash raw r4.reboot into recovery takes to to recent Cwm. From there you can flash kk..
Just note that r4 is for 4.3 and will not boot a 4.1.2 so you will need to flash kk after r4.

Aah like that. But I think that I need Raw kernel R5 than? Because KitKat is Android 4.4
And when I flash raw kernel, than I should be able of flashing newest Cwm?

Hi,
Is not possible to flash recovery without kernel, on recent samsung phones recovery and kernel are tied. (Maybe you can change recovery editing the kernel image but that is out of subject and maybe your skills).
Follow the steps @nokiamodeln91 suggest you, there is no other way. Raw Kernel has a KK compatible recovery.

Okay. But if KitKat doesn't work that well, do I need to downgrade my Kernel and Cwm recovery than?
And do you have a link to the stock kernel?

Then you go into recovery, wipe data, and flash anew rom using odin or use recovery to flash a custom rom.

If cwm doesn't want to instal KitKat, because of some reason, or I decide to not install it, than I want to reboot 4.1.2 but because of the Raw Kernel that won't be possible.

LOL that does not make any sense.. You will need to restore the backup or install a new rom. There is no need to separately install a stock kernel.. May be you need to read more how all this works.

Well, I didn't know that you sometimes need another kernel before you can install cwm.
I have been installing custom roms en recoverys many times on LG's so that isn't the problem.
But the NAND WRITE and FAIL problem must be a kernel issue than?

@ OP You have Q&A so quit PM me and ask all your questions here

The quick answer is yes - use your recovery to back up your rooted stock ROM. If you don't like CM simply return to your back up - it will still be rooted.
Alternatively, you have an unlocked bootloader - so you can flash Doomlord's kernel immediately after returning to stock (the kernel is insecure meaning you can flash a supersu zip in recovery to get root again).
Doomlord's latest kernels are decent and I can recommend Williams kernel too - as good as stock.

On what ROM you was before?
If it was on 4.4 too, take its kernel, install it with Universal kernel flasher and go to recovery and restore it.
Kernel is in ROMs zip, name of it is boot.img.

I was lazy to give you full answer there.
First on 4.4. our developers repartitioned preload partition to use it as a swap, and on 4.1.2 there were some apks. So if you want to go from 4.4 (and 4.3.) you must repartition it with this guide.
Then you download SlimKat or OmniROM and use its kernel to get TWRP, extract its ZIP and copy kernel to phone (it is boot.img in root of ZIP file). Then install Universal kernel flasher and some root explorer from the Play store and install kernel. When it is done go to recovery (you will have TWRP) and restore your backup.
P.S. You can use CoCore kernel with TWRP too. But the process is the same.

You get a bootloop because CoCore is for Stock ONLY. You can't use CoCore on any other ROM than on Stock based one.

@shut_down
My zip to restore is needed in 4.4 ROMs based on Team Canjica sources built till 14 June, after that date (since we removed /preload as swap partition on 15 June) is no longer needed with new builds this is only an info, most of the users don't know neither on what build they are :silly: better to continue to tell them to flash that zip before restoring that kind of ROMs, nice work.

[Q] CM11 + CWM on GT-N7000

Hi Guys. short (and maybe dumb) question but i have to be sure before messing up the phone of my friend.
I would like to flash CM11 nightlies with clockworkmod on a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.
I have read several tutorials for flashing the GT-N7000 and i'm not sure which is the best way to do it.
It is neccesary to update or change the (current stock) kernel? Or is it possible to just copy the recovery and ROM to the SD card, boot into download mode, install from there?
Sorry i only have experience with flashing my HTC One X.
Thanks in advance,
Greetings

I am in the same possition. A friend of mine wants to help him install a custom rom to his n7000.
He has the stock samsung rom and the phone is LAGGY!!
I only have experience with flashing cm11 to my own galaxy s3 with philz touch recovery.
I am reading for 4 hours now and i am lost...
Should i only use TWRP?
but twrp has a version only for cm 10...(i havent found by searching any cm11 twrp version for n7000)
Should i use cm 10 then and all is ok??
Thanks a lot

I am reading things about installing kernel for recovery (philz touch)
After installing that, its just wipe data / cache and install Rom from Zip.
Im still bit confused about the rooting process -> Trough Zip or trough Odin.
I hope some1 can help me.

First you need root. Then you can flash a custom rom.
To root your device tgere a several ways possible. All written here in sticky threads.
Easy way via Philz Kernel. You will get custom recovery and root in in step. What Rom is currentky installed? Last five digits are enough.

Stock rom is currently installed. I uploaded a picture with the specs within an attachment

Search for XXLTA Kernel in PhilZ thread and flash this one. All written in PhilZ thread. After that take your new Rom an follow the instructions in the thread again. For CM 11 you need also Raw4 kernel first. Only after that flash the custom rom. But that's all written 100000 times here....

yes that is enough but gapps are usually installed right after the ROM so having it together with the other files is a good idea.
- transfer ROM, Kernels to internal or external SD.
- flash Philz JB kernel compatible with your device [ follow the instruction in Philz kernel thread on how to flash with no yellow triangle ] and reboot then verify that root is working (just try and give a file explorer root access or install an app like root checker from playstore)
- Once root is verified reboot to recovery (you should now be in philz touch recovery) I recommend you take a nandroid backup but the choice is yours
- Wait for the backup to complete or if you are skipping backup then
a) wipe data factory reset
b) wipe cache
c) format system by going into mounts and storage
d) wipe dalvik cache
- flash raw kernel and reboot recovery.
- Now in TWRP recovery (you can again choose to do steps a to d which is totally optional) find and flash the ROM you want
- flash gapps
- reboot
That should do it
and now just in case you don't like what you flashed you can always go back to your ROM if you took a nandroid backup as suggested in the installation steps
hope it helps
Restore instructions :
I don't know if CWM recovery takes he same path to backup as Philz recovery but if it does it pretty simple
- just reboot to recovery and do the steps a to d from the above installation steps and restore backup
But in case you are not able to find backup file in CWM then do this
- reboot to recovery
- flash Philz kernel (same one you flashed during installation )
-go to advanced and select "reboot recovery"
- now you should be in Philz recovery again
- do steps from a to d again and restore
Simple

I was in the same boat 2 years ago so i understand the situation I am glad i could help and if you are coming from nexus I am pretty sure you won't have any issues at all. Just one or two flashes and you will know everything
and who knows I might need your help one day as I am thinking of buying the N6 myself
oh and btw let me tell you that recovery and kernel are in the same partition for N7000 so you can't have "this kernel and that recovery" here as you would in other devices. Thus if you need a certain recovery then you have to flash a certain kernel and if you need a certain kernel then it will install the recovery that comes with it overwriting the previous one. Also even if you flash just recovery somehow, the device will restore the one with the kernel upon reboot
So yeah

My friend's n7000 runs on 4.1.2 as well and my goal is to install cm11 as well.
Saying that, which is the appropriate raw_kernel???
The kernel code name should match the currently installed TW rom (4.1.2) or should it match the CM11 rom you intend to flash (4.4.4)????
to answer my own question : In XxPixX's quide of course it says r5 so 4.4.4 )
Anyway the kernel that you have downloaded is neither r5 nor r1 (i beleive that r1 is for 4.1)
Thanks, i hope someone with more experiense would clarify that!!

yes you have to download raw kernel because CM 11 or Android Kitkat requires SE Linux compatible recovery and raw kernel is the one that has this compatibility.
If you skip raw kernel then installation will fail giving you "status 7 installation aborted" error.
Downloading the latest Raw kernel for KitKat should do it just read in the kernel thread and download the latest one for kk.
the kernel code name should match the ROM (4.1.2) the one you currently have. Download the philz JB kernel for your JB ROM(follow the steps given in philz kernel thread)
There is no requirement as such for 4.4.4 ROM

Raw Kernel 5 (download link: http://ge.tt/5fBuPYn1/v/1?c ) is the good one right. Think that should do the trick. I see some people just flashing the philz touch cmw, and then the Rom, without the kernel. Several video's on youtube confirming that. So It's quite confusing 20 people explaining how to install CM11 and root on Samsung Note GT-N7000

So It's quite confusing 20 people explaining how to install CM11 and root on Samsung Note GT-N7000

yes that should do it, download the k44 one
I haven't seen any videos about that but it is possible to do so but that's just using the recovery temporarily to flash a certain ROM but in the end that recovery is replaced by the ROMs kernel recovery its the same thing we are doing by using raw kernel here in these installation steps but its true that it gets a little confusing
I have updated my previous reply. Please refresh the page to see the explanation
