[Q] What do I need before I flash DarkKnight ICS?

I have to post here because I can't post in the direct thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510940
How do I actually install this? I've flashed ROMs before and I assume I can flash this one through CWM but it doesn't say what base OS you need to have running on the phone in order to flash it.

What rom are you currently running? If you are running one of the ics asop roms then I think you are good to go

I Suggest if you come from Stock ROM
Flash a Kernel with CWM (CF-ROOT kernel with Addon, my Favorite) with Odin/Heimdall
Boot into CWM Recovery Mode
WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
WIPE CACHE PARTITION
Flash latest CyanogenMod (be sure, you do it with full version)
Boot into CWM Recovery Mode
WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
WIPE CACHE PARTITION
Flash the DarkKnight ICS
Have Fun !
I know it isn't the Best Way, but it surely will do if you like that !
Don't forget to thanks [if it useful was for you]

I was more asking which ROM to come from.
I ended up flashing 2.3.5 JVT and then this over the top of Semaphore kernel.

Okay heres the thing , I want to flash a new roms and I did the same old thing
Wipe data/Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Go to advance screen and wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from sd card - > choose zip from sd card. Find your ROM in the extSDcard.
Flash the ROM and reboot system.
While flashing , it took so long to actually flash like 10mins or so and I give up and I did a hard reset.
Can anyone point to me where did I do wrong ?
And I'm trying to flash this

Up.for.awareness

Just download Hydracore, go back to recovery and flash it... Then go advanced options and reboot recovery.. After that wipe everything again and flash the new rom... Stay away from franco kernel that's way outdated and doesn't work with anything

i tried flashing hydracore and it took for me 10mins plus at the screen and still at the same place.

you tried to flash hydracore, and its not installing ?
may be try to flash back the stock ICS using odin and then flash Philz kernel to gain root
.boot into recovery and go to mounts & storage.
format / sytem
format / data
then try to install your TMT rom

If TMT is installed, Or even part installed then it wont boot with Hydracore kernel, The main thing is just having the kernel installed cause its safe, So, In recovery (with Hydracore installed)
Do all the necessary wipes, Flash the ROM, Then flash the kernel (Philz kernel)
then it should boot
If not, follow the above post to revert back to stock ICS / GB with odin, and then start the whole procedure again :good:

Stock ICS --> JB Leak?

Hi all,
I know similar questions have been asked literally hundred times, but as a complete noob to roms, I want to make sure that I get a full set of instructions and then I won't brick my phone. I want to upgrade my note to this JB Rom by cronosmachine. I'm on stock ICS 4.0.4. Never rooted or did modding to the phone. No kernel change (which I know nothing about), nothing.
I'm not sure how much info you guys will need but here are the basics:
Baseband version: N7000XXLRB
Kernel version: 3.0. 15-1115729
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 20 00:40:29 KST 2012
Build number: IMM76D.ZSLPN
I know that I have to first root my phone to get CWM? My guess is to follow method 1 on [24sept12]How to Root/Unroot Samsung Galaxy Note + CWM?
And then from there I don't know what to do in order to get the ROM onto my phone.
And is there anything else I need to be aware of?
Appreciate any kind of help.

yes first root usin 1a method using philz kernel.
Once done, you will have root and cwm and is a safe kernel.
Download the zip file of the rom you want to flash and place it on internal or external sd card.
boot into recovery now (vol up +power+home)
go to mounts and storage
format/system
format/data
format/cache
go to advanced
wipe dalvik cache
go back
install zip.
point to the rom you downloaded.. and wait for it to install. that's all. see your phone booting into jb.
hope that was clear enough

On Phils' post where I can download the rooted kernel, I don't see XXLRB (my baseband version), but I do see a ZSLPN (my build number). Is the ZSLPN the one i'm supposed to download?

Thanks SpyderTracks.
One more question before I pull the trigger, can all this be done with the "internal" SD card? Or does it have to be an external SD?

stock recovery doesnot allow installation from internal SD. so external is required. but you can use PC odin to install it, but it will leave a yellow triangle and increase the counter. later you can use triangle away app to reset it, Final call is yours.,

So after I installed philz's root and safe kernel, I went into recovery to wipe data cache system, went also wiped dalvik. Then I went to the main menu, chose install zip, tried to select choose zip from sdcard, but it keeps giving me this error: E:Can't mount /sdcard/

Nevermind, I managed to install from internal SD. But I'm not liking the ROM that much, so I plan on flashing CM10 Nightly to try it out.
On the CM10 thread, it says that I shouldn't be on a ROM based on stock. What I want to do is to flash CM9. But in order to do that, I'm not sure if I'm already on a safe kernel (after rooting using dr.ketan's 1a method (Phil's)).

what rom are you on now?

I'm on this rom, it's a tw based rom based on the leaked jb ls7?

I am not sure what kernel it has. boot into recovery and check what you see.. If it's philz the you can just flash the cm10 on it. else. install philz xxls7

I'm not sure either, I booted into recovery, went into Philz Settings > about, and got CWM base 6.0.1.5, and PhilZ Touch 3.00 (n7000).
And what you're saying is that if I'm on Philz xxls7 kernel, I can go right to flashing CM10, without worrying the "do not flash on stock based ICS fw" (even though I'm on jb)?

Yes.. you are on philz kernel and you can directly install CM10

Thanks for the information. But I want to know what makes my case an exception from
- Make sure to run CM9 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK! - You're warned!

I'm on a JB rom but it's based on stock, isn't that essentially the same as based on stock ICS?

the warning was when the safe ics kernels were not in effect.

Thanks for the quick reply!! When I get home, I'll try this out!
So what I need to do is
put the zip files onto my SD,
reboot into recovery,
install the rom,
install google apps,
wipe data,
factory reset,
reboot into cm10
I don't need to wipe system/cache/dalvik??

once in recovery
mounts & storage
format/system & data & cache
then install rom & gapps

Thanks a lot for guiding me through this, everything worked out perfectly!

great. now enjoy the cm10..:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

How come even after I performed format system cache data dalvik, some of the settings are still left on the phone? e.g. previously saved wireless networks, wallpapers... How can I completely start from scratch?

Help with flashing philz kernel and custom rom

Hi, I need some help - I want to flash my Note to Liquid Smooth 2.2 rom, so please tell me if I'm thinking properly.
1) My note have stock 4.1.2 rom XXLSA, so I need to flash letest Philz kernel from stock recovery, with is "PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSA-DBT-3.99-signed"
2) Do full backup, and flash latest CM10.1 kernel ("Kernel_CM10.1_Official_20130403_n7000_N8Mali"), reboot recovery into CM cwm
3) Full wipe - wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache
4) install rom zip and next gapps, reboot
Is everything as it should be? And what is N8Mali in cm10.1 name? There are a lot of kernel, so I don't know if this will be ok for me. Thanks for help, and sory for my stupid questions... but I really like to know if I'm doing everything in good way.

You don't need to flash the cm kernel after you flashed the philz kernel.

I have read somwhere that It is safer to flash from cm kernel, because flashing from philz sometimes goes wrong. But thanks for answer, thats easier without it

So I have another stupid question - If I want to go back to stock android in future, can I just reboot to cm recovery and restore backup of stock rom? Or I have to firstly flash philz kernel to restore?

Restoring backup in CWM (CM version) will be just fine. Thou, you can flash philz kernel first...but it is not necessary.

So first of all you are on XXLSA and want to flash Liquid smooth 2.2 so here are the steps :
1. download philz kernel for xxlsa .tar from here http://www.mediafire.com/file/wxqlp64nu6s7v66/PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSA-DBT-3.99.tar.md5
2. download odin from here and extract it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
3. open odin and click on PDA and insert the .tar Philz Kernel in
4. Go in to download mode with pressing Home+Volume Down+Power
5. Connect your phone with your Computer now odin should say "Added" and click START
6. after flashing the kernel disconnect your phone and let your phone boot it will take some mins
NOW YOU GOT ROOT AND CWM
7. the next step is that you put the liquid smooth 2.2 file and the gapps file in your phone storage
8. open CWM = volume up+home+power
9. Wipe everything
10. go to install zip from sd card after that from internal storage
11. now go to the liquid smooth file and flash it
12. after the liquid smooth file flash the gapps file
13. now reboot !
YOU ARE DONE !!!

[Q] ROM flash and data issue.

This is my device information now:
Rocket ROM XXLSZ
Kernel Version: 3.0.31 -906407
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT date information
And I want to update to [KitKat][4.4][Omni]Team Asylum Omni 4.4 Naughties™ .
Does I belong to the follow:
"If coming from any other safe kernel except Philz older than v3.99 or Speedmod:
1. Copy Gapps and Asylum Omni Zips to your SDCard
2. Boot into Recovery
3. Wipe data and dalvik cache
3. Flash Asylum Omni zip
4. Flash Gapps zip
7. Reboob
8. Don't restore system stuff or apps + data using Titanium, it might cause issues"
If I can't restore apps +data, can I download the apps and just restore the data?
I can post question due to the policy, so I post here. Any reply may help a lot, thanks!

You will first need to install a kernel that has CWM version > 6.0.43
then you can follow the instruction you followed. Don't restore data of system apps. User apps and data works just fine.

My CWM version is 6.0.3.0 PhilZ touch 4, will this work?

As long as philz version is greater than 3.99 you can flash directly without flashing other kernel. However to be on the safer side you can always flash the kernel recommended by asylum team first followed flashing the rom and gapps. Hope this helps.

to flash 4.4 you will need to flash a SELinux compatible kernel which is CM 10.2 / Raw R4 or Asylum kernel..
