KitKat Complement Recovery
Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100G
All right guys im just going to keep this real nice and simple. Purpose of thread:
Kit Kat 4.4 ROM Installation Compatible
Just a heads up. This is NOT meant to be used as a kernel. I compiled these recoveries from source and only the recovery module is built therefore YOUR PHONE WILL NOT BOOT COMPLETELY AS THERE IS NO KERNEL. I made these recoveries so that users can flash
From ICS/JB to KK with ease

I have posted on @-Grift- 's thread and I think you should take note too
For the s2 family, recovery.img = boot.img, it's just copied over, and /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 is the boot partition, in other words, there is a kernel (recovery and kernel are combined, unlike other devices which have separate boot and recovery), but ROM's might not boot properly, but if it is just for the purpose of utilising the recovery to flash ROMs that require set_metadata, it's OK...you might wanna update the description to avoid confusion...

Yes you are right
boot.img=recovery.img=zImage
not just on s2 family but in All Galaxy S Original devices(n7000,i9000,i777 etc etc)
Yes there is recovery partition located on /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 but It's useless
And my recovery it's a boot.img extracted from my HOMEMADE.zip
it's a Kernel will only booting 4.4.3 And we don't want to boot
We only want to flash kitkat rom and I point this in OP
the stock firmware won't boot after installing this zip
And I know why u r confiusion about copy recovery directly to /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
Do ya want me to use flash_image ?

Tried flashing over recovery, tried flashing with Odin, but i can't go into recovery. When pressing Volume UP + Home + Pwr UP, phone boots, the Samsung I9100 Image appears but just gets stuck there and won't boot into recovery.

This post will contain N8013 stock kernel and recovery images. For UEALGB these were dumped from a device that was rooted using the "root injection of /system" approach. For UEALH2, they are simply extracted from the Kies dump at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706 so that you can get a stock kernel or recovery without downloading 1GB of files.
If you flash any of these using Odin, they should not trigger your flash counter. Note that for some reason, flashing these in Heimdall will trigger the counter (unlike Heimdall on most other devices).
Pardon for some ignorance. What should be the steps to follow in order to root from an updated to latest OTA update stock Rom on a 32gb USA version? Do I need to flash the kernel, or just recovery should be ok?

Why don't u ask this in the root thread?
Here is what you should do:
Root Via CWM (method 2 in the root thread)
1. Download and put the superuserzip on your internal memory on your device
2. In odin uncheck auto reboot and load the cwmrecovery tar in the pda slot
3. Start odin
4. Once finished boot directly into clockwork (volume up and power til the samsung screen then let go of power while holding volume up)
5. Use the volume rockers to scroll in clockwork cause its finicky and flash the superuser zip you put on your device.
6. reboot
7. Make sure you have root and touch screen and pen works
8. Download goo manager
9. In goo manager hit menu and hit the install recovery script
10. DONE
Have any problems odin back to a stock image and if things go bad flash entropys triangle away kernel and clear your binary count
Any chance you could update the thread to account for the updated kernel for the N8013, that adds support for exFAT?

I have the Canadian 8010 model, and installed the prerooted firmware that was provided. It didnt flash right the first time but the second time it did. Everything works great and Im rooted with CWM. The only thing I noticed is that it says I have the 8013 model now which is probably because of the firmware but its not a big deal.

You can't, but you can flash the entire H2 ODIN image from here (about 1GB):

and not lose your data. You lose root though (which you can get again through the alternate recovery method)
Can we get a kernel and recovery from UEALI3 please.

Dont use wipe, restore,or factory reset in STOCK ICS kernel with your Recovery
Thank you for moderator make this sticky..
You know that this not new for us.. This problem exist in many samsung devices with ICS, i got this brick on my GT-N7000 and my device had a motherboard replacement because of that, and it seem our beloved tab definitely got this problem too..
im no dev..just an ordinary Windows and Unix User,not Using English as my Native
but I will update and summarize the issues in this thread until we got the fix about it..
If you already in ICS you need to read the whole thread from this to figure out what the problem is..
Emmc bugs is exist.. And if you need to know what kind of EMMC you have and the possibilty of brick, use this app from chainfire
This is suspected kernel and recovery build from ICS source with this bug if you try to wipe on this:
-any boot.img from stock ICS
-any recovery.img from stock ICS
-CWM 6.0.1.2 which is build from ICS source..
-update binary which is build from ICS source..

After you read, this is my advice:
Dont use any wipe operation or something similar with that such as:
command "Format" in Edify script if you plan make a flashable zip
Nandroid Restore in CWM (build from ics source)
Using wipe with stock recovery in stock ICS boot.img(kernel)
Wiping in safe CWM in stock ICS boot.img
using wipe and nandroid restore with CWM from ICS source without mmc erase patch
using update-binary from ICS build..(compiled from ICS source without mmc erase patch)

Thanks for entropy512 who figure out this and make all samsung users more aware about flashing in ICS
And chainfire who makes the tools..
This is not about what version of cwm are used.. But what kind of kernel that recovery operates..
If the recovery execute the command in honeycomb kernel maybe its more safe then ICS kernel..
This is quote from chainfire itself

..... CWM is just a userspace program, nothing special(!) - so if the problem can happen in CWM, it can happen in Android....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this is possible solution if you want to flash, wipe or restore in ICS
First method: use recovery.img and boot.img with MMC_CAP_ERASE disable.. For that you must familiar with compiling kernel from the source..
Second method:Flashing recovery.img and boot.img from honeycomb, after installation done reboot to recovery and flash the ROM you desire..Remember, your ROM package must have boot.img and recovery.img too..

PLEASE BE CAREFULL UNTIL SOMEONE WITH MORE KNOWLEDGE SOLVE THIS FOR US..REMEMBER ITS JUST A WARNING! WHATEVER YOU DID, YOU OWN THAT RISK!!!
Some people are able to safely wipe and flash using affected kernels forever. Some people can wipe a few times before problems occur, some people have problems on their first wipe.
The number of people that broken kernels affect may only be 5-10% - but so far, there is no way to definitively determine that you are safe without putting your device at risk.

nandroid restore....are you serious?
orlandoxpolice said:

Click to expand...

Yep. And some zip file update-binary executables too (the edify format() function in the 'updater-script's).
Specifically those update-binary commands that were statically linked with the ICS version of the ext4 library.
Both of these operations (edify format() and nandroid partition restore) make use of the make_ext4fs() function. That function apparently changed in ICS to add a call to the eMMC erase functionality in the vigilant pursuit of security. However, that functionality is what tickles the eMMC fw bug with the 'bad' kernels (i.e. those that don't have the erase functionality disabled).
Oh what a tangled web we weave ...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if i understand the problem and various threads correctly, the easiest and safest way to keep flashing ics based custom roms without fear of the emmc bug would be to always flash a #honeycomb kernel# in recovery each time #before# flashing any ics rom, right?
So if we have a flashable zip of galaxy tab 8.9 honeycomb kernel or even a pre-ics cm9 kernel, and keep it in our sdcard to be available to flash everytime, then we could, go into recovery, flash the bugless kernel, reboot in to recovery again, then safely flash an ics rom(even wipe data) , since it'll run according to the bugless k ernel (this is how we got the ics roms on our tabs in the first place, right)!
I'm no developer, so I don't know how to make one, but is there an existing flashable zip of the stock honeycomb kernel or a honeycomb based cm9 kernel in the existing threads(maybe motely's should be fine?) Or can a developer craft one for us?
This should work, right? Or an I mistake somewhere?

Unfortunately, no.
The problem isn't what you are flashing onto the device or what you are flashing over the top of. It's what you are flashing WITH. This is done with the recovery image (usually Stock or CWM).
The recovery image has its own kernel which is distinct from 'the kernel' used by the regular system. The recovery image is an entirely self-contained mini-system that is able to manipulate the contents of the device. Other than being able to read and write and format the rest of the device it shares no operational functionality with the rest of the system (well, other than the bootloader, of course ).
So if you had HC installed and wanted to flash JB you could still get bricked if your recovery image was using a 'bad' kernel.
This is why there have been recommendations to use CWM 5.x.y.z or 6.0.0.8 or lower. Someone says that 6.0.1.0 seems to work but KK and a few others have strongly recommended the lower versions.
HTH.
orlandoxpolice said:

Click to expand...

Nandroid restore is ONLY unsafe in a recovery that (itself) is built with a buggy ICS kernel. Version 6.0.0.8 and before are safe, because based on earlier GB kernel.
Also, update-binary (a copy of which exists in EVERY flashable zip) is ONLY unsafe IF built against buggy ICS kernel module... and if the updater-script in the same zip does a format()
I don't know if we've already seen dangerous update-binary in the wild... Mostly people don't recompile that, but endlessly reuse older ones. Still, you might want to check that next time you want to flash a zip. Or keep a safe update-binary available to inject into any zip you want to flash...
Disclaimer: this is my interpretation based on careful reading of many posts
This thread needs to be stickied!
I was on 6.0.1.2 but now went back to 6.0.1.0 but it looks like I'll be heading for 6.0.0.8

6.0.1.2 is the only one I compiled that uses the ICS kernel and I've removed the links to it some days ago. I don't remember compiling a 6.0.1.0 version but I could be wrong.

Haha yeah you did it was in the cm9 thread as a test version. I had it running quite some time without any problems but decided to be on the safe side with 6.0.0.8
It think there was a 6.0.0.8 and a 6.0.0.8_alternate (version in file name) Then someone said one of these was saying 6.0.1.0 in the UI. AFAIR.

Right. The 6.0.0.8 in CM9 thread is 6.0.1.0 according to CWM recovery menu header.

Oh well, then they are safe. I just didn't notice the version number had changed. Only the 6.0.1.2 version has the dangerous kernel.
So again...
1. I have the same eMMC chip revision number known to be brickable as per Chainfire's app.
2. I have been using CWM 5.5.0.4 only and never anything else.
3. I have flashed CM9 and AOSP Jelly Bean without bricking my device using CWM 5.5.0.4
Is it safe to assume that flashing the latest CM9 through CWM 5.5.0.4 will not result in a lifeless brick of a P7300?
Again, I am only asking for an assumption, not a definitive answer. Will hold nobody responsible.

Yes you can..
We dont know from what kernel the bugs appear maybe from boot.img or from recovery.img..
So the safest way is flash the safe boot.img with safe recovery.img in one flashable.zip and then reboot to recovery again and flash the ROM you desire..
It works and tested by me..
There are 2 types of CWM 6.0.0.8 to choose at KK's CM9 thread. One is original and the other is alternate. So which one should we install. I am comfuse. I am currently on CM10 review. Is KK's CM10 kernel safe to use? Thanks

The alternate version is for those folks that experience display issues with the regular one. You can use either one.
I don't know what kernel is in the CM10 preview. But as long as you use a 'safe' recovery for your wipes and resets you should be just fine.

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie samsung user. I tried to root my phone (N700-Galaxy Note - ICS 4.0.4) using PhilZ Recovery method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
When I flash the zip in the stock recovery, everything seems to be ok, then when I got out and pressed "Reboot System now", the phone just turned off. I tried to power it on, but I stuck at the N7000 Logo (the logo just appears for a few seconds then disappears). However, I can still access the PhilZ Recovery
What should I do now? Should I flash a new rom with new kernel using that recovery (e.g: OmniRom with Raw Kernel)?
Please help, I'm really worry :crying:
Since you have Philz kernel then you can flash any TW ROM or AOSP ROM which is not KitKat. If you want to try out KitKat then you would have to first flash Raw Kernel and then from Raw kernel you can flash KitKat (ex. OmniROM).
If you want to go back to stock then you would have to flash a stock ROM using Odin.
whats the name of the zip file you flashed?

You came so far, its to late to turn back...
If only you had read the instructions...
Then you would know...
That you need a more recent version of your recovery...
Which is part of a kernel...
So flash raw kernel...
And then flash C-Rom...

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

You came so far, its to late to turn back...
If only you had read the instructions...
Then you would know...
That you need a more recent version of your recovery...
Which is part of a kernel...
So flash raw kernel...
And then flash C-Rom...

Ohh, , okay will do.
@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.

You should be able to flash raw kernel from just about any custom recovery. Just skip philz

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 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

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
