somewhere in the Note community i read about to dont do anything with the recovery when you are upgraded with the LPY .....Now i can see in the development forum that there is customs roms of the lpy rom??????
i want to flash the custom roms but i want to know if it safe and not to brick my loved NOte in the process
There is always a risk when doing any flashing on your phone.
If you want Rocket Rom v1 for example you can flash over LPY in cwm recovery and just wipe dalvik and cache. I did no problems.
They do advise to flash Abyss 4.2 or 3.9 redpill then flash the new rom from that kernel though. Depends how much risk you want to take. I also ran TeamMid 1.2 with no problems

I wonder, would it be safer if I copy the files from the ROM /system/app and /system/framework into the phone?

Nope as soon as you start copying frameworks,your phone will reboot and there after,soft reboots....
When you start from /system,You will have lots of FC's and when copying tw,again reboots.
I'm on LPY, pre-rooted oficial version. I got superuser instaled but it isn't working. I don't have CWM instaled too. My question is, can i wipe from STOCK recovery all data and then flash just oficial LPY, without root permisions via ODIN?

As I said,stock recovery is also dangerous.so its risky to do wipe.
Ok, i got it. I'm asking this cause i'm not sure what will happen with all my apps? When i flash new stock rom via pcOdin, it gonna delete them or no? I do not need them by the way, but i'm just curious because i remember on my S2 when rom is flashed without wipe it always get some problems

LPY is a non wipe rom, so it will upgrade and keep your existing apps etc
Now a new full wipe ICS roms has been released.LPF.
I will wait to see results for new rom. And how to wipe when it's too dangerous.

Hi XDA,
I would like to ask on how to go back to my stock ICS from leaked Jelly Bean (LS7).
Because I am planning to flash the leaked JB or maybe a custom JB like Rocket Rom but having a precaution that if I am not satisfied, I could go back to my stock ICS.
Please help me XDA.
Thank you very much in advance.
you can always go back to any stock rom using PC odin.
download the stock rom and place it in the pda tab of odin. put phone in download mode and flash

Thanks! But one more thing. Is there any other way aside from PC Odin? Can I use Mobile Odin instead? Thank you very much!
Yeah you can use mobile odin if you prefer it, However when ever I flash something I always use PC odin, Just because ive used it for so many years and im comfortable with it.
But either one will work well :good:
As azzledazzle said,
you can use mobile odin as well,
when you click on open file and select the rom (tar.md5), it will fill up all the partitions, then in the kernel section you can manually select the philz kernel so when the rom is installed you can be on a safe kernel

Does this mean that philz kernel is also applicable in ICS roms regardless of being stock or custom? Thanks a lot!
there are kernels for most of the builds.. but only works with TW or TW based ICS roms and JB roms...

By the way, I would like also to ask what is the meaning when the instruction in installing the ROM says "Format System"? How to do this and what will happen? Will it also erase the contents of my external sd or just the internal? Thank you very much again.
format / system is done in the Clockworkmod recovery under mounts and storage. this will erase the system partition for the new rom to install peacefully. This does not touch the ext or internal storage

Wow! I was just going to ask that question to you, Should I always going to do this format system thing every time I will going to flash a ROM? Or just when instructed by the developer? Thank you very much again. That was really helpful.
its always a good idea to
format/system
format/data
format/cache
before installing the new rom.. this will give you least trouble with new rom
Just do full nandroid backup of your ics 4.0.3 and then flash leaked jb rom. If you don't like jb, you can any time return to your ics rom from cwm recovery in recovery mode.

Hi everyone!
Maybe I have a basic doubt, but because I don´t understand, I like have clear this. Yesterday I decided root, replace the recovery and install a custom rom on my Note (N7000). I choose the kernel from PhilZ and install following the recommended method (very easy).
After this all work perfect, I do a full backup of actual system (this is nandroid backup, right?) and after this I install the CM 10.1.3 that also work well. I not rememeber exactly, but following some steps to install this ROM I do before or after install this procedures also: WIPE/DATA FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE, WIPE DALVIK CACHE. This procedures are correct?
The device work well, but I have a big doubt because if I boot into recovery I not see anymore the PhilZ touch interface, now I see:
CWM Based Recovery 6.0.3.6
that is other recovery, right? Is normal this behavior? I not understand in what step I change the PhilZ recovery to CWM.
Thanks in advance for all info and help to clear this
This is the CWM recovery same as philz, the difference is that, the version you used before.. It was touch, and after flashing the recovery changes as the CM 10.1 flashed their own kernel...
so it is the same recovery, do not worry
and yes, AOSP/CM roms have their specific kernels, so please do not flash philz on the current recovery...
and one more thing... the process is correct, do a wipe data and factory reset and then format system and preload
Thanks NoteboyTech, yes, I know that work basically like PhilZ, but my main doubt is in what moment of all procedures are installed the CWM Based Recovery. This mean that this CWM are installed in the moment that I install the CM 10.1.3?
Now if I like keep the PhilZ, is safe if I boot again in recovery and install from the .zip file from PhilZ again? or not recommend this?
The wipe: I need made the wipe factory, cache and dalvik before each time that I like restore a ROM or also kernel?
Thanks!!!
You are using a cm rom. Philz kernel Tw doesn't work with cm rom. If you flash philz on cm, phone won't boot.
There is no need to wipe if you just changing the kernel.
If you want the touch recovery, you can install nx kernel which includes philz recovery and is a cm based kernel.

Now I believe that understand a bit more
Perfect. This mean that if I like keep the PhilZ as recovery I need install the nx kernel, right?
Now, if for example in the future I like try one new version or actual version of my stock ROM, is safe to download from Samsung Updates website, install from .zip like I do with the CM, and ready, I have the stock ROM. Is correct?
OK, I not need wipe anything for kernel installations, but yes for ROMs, right?
Only data/factory and cache or also dalvik?
This wipes I need made before install the ROM or after?
Thanks for all!

Today I try make a complete nandroid backup, but can be possible that the CWM Based Recovery 6.0.3.6 don´t have this option?
Some days back, with the PhilZ recovery, I can do very easy.
To restore a nandroid backup I need use the same recovery or the generated files are compatible with all recovery?
????
CWM 6 versions are compatible.. it can be restored using any recovery.
Why can you make a nandroid back on 6.0.3.6?

Thanks nokiamodeln91!, maybe yesterday when I try Im a bit sleepy at night Also in this moment I found a "nandroid" name into the menu.
Have a link to read how backup the IMEI number?
Can be possible that I detect that after I made all these changes (change the recovery, root, install new rom, etc) the Serial number of the device has changed? I can change from any area to the original one?
Option to backup efs is in the philz recovery. Or you can use ktool from the playstore to backup efs. This has to be done as soon as you root. There is no point of backup if the imei has already changed.

No, the IMEI is correct, the change is in the SERIAL NUMBER of the device, not IMEI. This can be fixed writing the correct serial number?
Not sure how to correct the serial number.
Ktool is a good tool to backup efs.

[PROBLEM SOLVED] I flashed the custom ROM directly and everything is up and running! Details are below Thanks everyone!
==========================================================================================================================
Experts please help!
I have been surfing my whole day trying to root my Note I (N7000) and flash a custom ROM.
My kernal is XXLSF and I flashed PhilZ-cwm6-ZCLSF-CHN-5.08.5-signed.zip.
I rebooted it after flashing. The Samsung logo appears but then, it blackens and nothing appear on screen.
Now, I can get into the recovery mode by pressing the volume up, power and home button.
I am planning on flashing a stock ROM from SamMobile. Is it okay? WIll I brick my device? What should I do?
I am so frustrated right now:crying:
Your help is much appreciated. Thank you!
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794"
From this post, "None since I switched to the CWM4 and CWM6 recoveries (no more superbrick risks under 4.0.4 ICS kernels, only CWM5.x was affected)"
Should I flash a stock ROM that is under 4.0.4, but not the lastest 4.1.2?
What is the XXLSF kernel? May be you flashed an incompatible kernel. Yes you can boot into download mode and flash stock rom.. It will boot up the device again.. Before rooting next time, read instruction more carefully.
If you were intending to flash a custom rom, you can do it without flashing a stock rom as you have access to recovery. In the recovery mode, select mount USB storage>connect to PC.. drives will appear. then place the custom rom zip file on to phone. In recovery mode, choose clean before New rom install and then flash the new rom.

because I have never updated my Note I, the kernal version is very old.
The kernel now is not OLD as its now updated to Philz. You can directly install the PAC rom.

Anything on the internal SD card that you stored using camera or music or videos will not be erased doing a factory reset. For that you will need to choose..format /emmc in the recovery mode. /data is one that app stores on the phone.

"UI system is forced to stop" appear continuously after changing language from English to Chinese.
Is it true that changing system language will lead to breakdown of system?

Well, it so happened that I was on omni rom 4 3.1 with cocore kernel twrp recovery and I saw in a thread that we can theme our recovery by adding a ui.zip file in the theme folder of twrp. Ever since then, my phone boots in recovery only (without the three button combination). Plus in twrp, the theme is applied but I get a super zoomed view of the recovery so I can't restore nandroid as well. Of course, I used my last resort and brought back my phone to stock through odin but the problem is what did I do wrong and what should I take care of to prevent this sort of **** from happening in the future?

The rom shouldn't boot if you did this..
BTW You are getting the super zoomed recovery maybe because you are using the ui.zip designed for a mdpi/ldpi screen resolution.

Do not mess with something that you are not sure that works on our phone. If you read that someone that has I9070 phone is using something, you can use it. Searching and using stuff from other phones can make you mess like that you got.
Omni MUST use its kernel, you CAN'T use COCORE on it. You will end up with a bootloop if you use COCORE on OMNI.
What you need to do is to flash stock FIRMWARE with ODIN. Download CoCore kernel, UNPACK it and use KERNEL.BIN.MD5 (copy to phone memory). Install UKF and ROOT EXPLORER. Open Universal kernel flasher and follow the procedure to install COCORE. Install, reboot and you have permanent recovery (CWM or TWRP depends what CoCore version you choose).
Perhaps you guys misunderstood me.. I did not flash cocore on Omni.. I flashed cocore on stock and then I flashed omni rom.. so I guess I have permanent recovery..
Im sorry if I sound like a noob but hey, every expert was once a noob, Im learning
I agree to the part of messing with things that people Dont use on our phone, I'll see to that in future..

So if i flash from stock rom jb to cm11 (tc) , the recovery changes to cwm , no matter if u had CoCore+cwm or CoCore+ TWRP in stock rom.
What happens to the kernel in cm11?
i have done nandroid backup with TWRP, but since recovery changes to cwm in cm11 , will i no longer be able to restore the backup ?
Would it be better to do a nandroid backup with CoCore+Cwm then?

If you flash stock JB firmware you get stock recovery (not CWM or TWRP). And you can't use nandroid backup of JB if you are on CM11 because Preload partition is used for SWAP, and it will be non usable for JB. You must flash script to repartition it or flash stock JB firmware. If you have TWRP backup, flash stock JB, root it, install CoCore with TWRP recovery and there you go...

Thank you. So i understand that nandroid backup is useful only when something goes wrong during the process of upgrading from stock JB to CM11 .
one more doubt, I have also backed up app user data + system data with Titanium Backup Pro. That can be used to restore all data after i upgrade to cm11 right? Will Titanium Backup Pro take care of efs ( related to IMEI no.) if something goes wrong after flashing cm11. Btw i have also backed up efs with Samsung Tools app.
Also could you enlighten me about my first question in previous post " what happens to kernel in cm11" ?

CM11 ROM 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 is the result of an update of version 4.1.2 of Android Jelly Bean. If right now, you have a backup system and applications that have been stored in the system when you are Jelly Bean. Then you want to restore the backup to the CM11, then I guess you will get an error. Because the system is Jelly Bean, and Kitkat system is 2 different things in the context of the "system". So you can do this while using TB Pro applications only restore data only, such as: backup contacts, sms / mms, third-party applications such as, apk, application of playstore etc.. Not the whole system ROM previously, JB.
Related to the kernel, system jelly bean, and kitkat system, has different kernel. In this case the kernel is owned by CM11 ROM, not the stock ROM 4.4.2/4.4.3 by samsung. CM11 kernel 4.4.2/4.4.3 allows us to perform GPU OC and CPU OC/UC/OV/UV In the default kernel Stock ROM (JB), you will not be able to do it, unless you replace it with a custom kernel, as the Cocore kernel. Hopefully it can be more clear.
