[Resolved] Rom manager has downgraded my CWM recovery !

Hi there,
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 to root and install CWM recovery on my Note XXLRK.
After reboot, I had CWM 6.0.1.4.
Then I installed app I had in my old phone : rom manager. It told me to flash recovery to be able to use it, so I did it.
It flashed to version 6.0.1.2 !
I tried to flash again with root method below but recovery still to 6.0.1.2 now.
I've heard about brick risk when flashing a rom with this version.
How can I upgrade recovery back to 6.0.1.4 ?
Is it dangerous to flash a rom (cyanogen 9.1) with cwm 6.0.1.2 ?
Thanks

Seems I have no answer yet, I'm sorry I have forgotten to say it was a question !
So here new informations :
I updated with new 2.7 pack (posted by PhilZ today).
Now I have :
- CWM touch 6.0.1.4 when I start with vol up + home + power
- CWM 6.0.1.2 when i select "reboot in recovery mode" in rom manager...
This doesn't really disturb me, I just hope it will not cause problem when I'll flash to cyanogen mod 10 (I'm on stock ICS 4.0.4 right now)
If someone could confirm it will not blow up...
Thanks in advance

As far as I know, rom manager is not compatible for now, so better not use it.

Thanks for your answer.
Should I uninstall it, or can I keep it but just don't use it ?

You can leave it installed.

You can flash only recovery from Phillz, read last 1-2 Page of that thread

I've just read that.
I will not use rom manager anymore, unless I am certain it does'nt make a mess.
If you like bootloops
CM derived ROMs will never run along a stock kernel. You should keep the kernel CM ROM comes with

I'm a bit lost with that, I really should read other tutorials, as I don't understand why I can't go from cwm + stock 4.0.4, to cm10

[Q] Noobie here - Where to start rooting and flashing rom?

hi, i newly owned a brand new galaxy note for a month and now i am planning to root/flash modded rom on it.
i have had experience with flashing rom with my nokia phone and jailbreaking iphone, but doing it on android phones seem differently.i have been done reading several forum topics here, but still dont know where to start..
do i have first to root my phone or flash rom or install kernel?sorry for this newbie question but i need your ideas and knowledge upon these.what would be the best application to root and backup original data?i am planning to go for romrocket v3 by eybee.i think it was stable and smooth based on the feedbacks.
if you cant help me directly, please post some links here.i am willing to read and learn from them.thank you all in advance.

You didn't mention what rom and kernel u are on
If u are on ics, then first you need to flash a safe kernel..the stock ics kernel is not safe to wipe and flash
So flash either hydracore or philz kernel..so that u will be automatically rooted and will be on a safe kernel with cwm
Then copy the rocketrom into sdcard, go to cwm, do all wipes and flash the rom

sorry my bad..here they are:
android version 4.0.4
baseband version N7000XXLRK
kernel version 3.015-1068447
i will try that.thank you.

go ahead with your rom build version of philz kernel as this can be installed directly from the stock recovery, but hydracore can't be. Once rooted you can later change to your choice of kernel.

please help me, i have updated with one of phil's kernel volume up,power button,home key then after choosing the kernel from the external sd and finishes it, i tried to reboot my phone.
from there when it tries to start the boot logo it the light turns off but i can still here the booting sound of samsung.
please help me, does my phone is dead or hard bricked???i don't know what to do,im afraid to do another step that would worsen this situation.
i already installed odin if ever i needed it..please help..

You say you updated with one of philz kernels...
You should update with the right kernel eq. the LRK or
if not available, something close to that like LRI
Also don't be impatient, it could take several minutes to boot as it has to rebuild it's cache

yes i have waited to finish all the process, and now if i opened the phone the light turns of but i know it was working because if i double tap tap the home key i am hearing the svoice saying "unable to connect to server".
my kernel was LRK or LRQ. i didn't have yet wipe any data.

so you mean to say the phone is booting fine but the screen is black?
boot into recovery and explain what you see there.

Just pick a correct kernel version for ur n7000 from philz kernel.
U can flash from stock recovery nd u dont need to think abt rooting nd CWM, as it goes in package.

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?

To Flash ANY/ALL KK Based Roms (4.4+) you need base recovery 0f 6.0.4.4+. Can you still reboot to recovery? What rom vers are you previously on? Rooted? What recovery? If your charging port has been damaged, how are you gonna charge your phone? Get it repaired ASAP before doing anything else. Loss of battery during Rom flashing can make your phone a nice desk decoration.

Do you still remember your Stock Rom's Build number? If yes, then you can try downloading philz safe kernel with recovery that is compatible with your build number, flash it in cwm recovery, then reboot to RECOVERY, from there do a factory reset wipe, all formats (system, data, cache, preload) wipe dalvik cache (If you don't understand any of the terms I mentioned above, please go to philz page and read) and Flash a TW BASED custom rom first (you can find and download any rom as long as it's TW based). See if that boots.
Ultimately you WILL need that charging/USB Port fixed so please make that a TOP Priority

@annie22 you could also download any JB kernel (if you were on JB) of philz and flash it in recovery, reboot recovery, then flash Raw kernel r4 or r5 and reboot recovery and from there flash C-Rom or any other KK rom. You can use any philz kernel irrespective of the build number as long as you are using it only to flash another kernel and then rom of your choice. Make sure to download the .zip version of the philz kernel and put that and raw kernel and rom on external sd card. Keep back up of these kernels and roms on pc as well so that you can connect memory card to pc and transfer those files back to card, as it so happened that i while doing full wipe on philz kernel it also wiped my external card.

[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.

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 i know, to install play store and other applications. But for the flashing part, that is enough right? The kernel, ROM and Philz Recovery?

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

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

Very clear! Thank you very much. Sorry for being a noob with this but it i think you cant be too sure when you are flashing kernels. Got my Nexus S bricked once while i was flashing a custom kernel.
And i dont have any experience with flashing samsung phone. Only HTC.
Thanks again and have a good day!

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

In the guide below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53346482
it clearly says ''-Download Raw Kernel r5 and copy it to either your internal or external memory''
You have downloaded raw_kernel_r4_j43
Why is that?
Am i missing something?
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

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
