Hey Guys! Im going to explain how i got my self in this situation
I got my new Note 2 days ago and decided to root it at first. (KK4)
Which i did but not with CWM Manager so i used the InitialCFRootFlasher to get CWM Manager working.
Then i used Odin to flash the XLA4 on my device so i could get the RocketRom after that. But now when i want to go inte CWM Recovery mode to do a Nandorid backup i just get to the original recovery mode. And when i open CWM manager it says that i need a CF-Root V5.0 or newer.
What should i do? Really didnt know how to search for this so sorry if there already is a thread about this.
Please help me out guys
Dont wanna ruin my phone because i didnt know better
Thanks in advance!
Keep calm mate, don't worry.
I just wonder if your phone is properly rooted or not. If it is ok, you can download and flash CF-Root for LA4-v5.0 here http://download.chainfire.eu/140/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.zip
If not, you can read clearly this topic, thanks to CF to solve your problem:

If you have use PC odin to get LA4(and seems you did it), then simply, you have lost Root + CWM.
N LA4 is not necessary b4 Rocket ROM.
If above is true, you have just option to downgrade n Re root + CWM
Oh, didnt see the replies before i edited it, i solved the problem just like u described in ur post taycuong76
didnt scroll down enough to see that there was a CF-root for the LA4
thx anyway love to see the great support and that everybody wants to help even if there already is a thread about this. Just makes me more satisfied with switching from the toy iphone 4 to a real phone
Got rocketrom on my phone now, just amazing that there are so many custom ROMs to choose from
Thanks again guys
EDIT: "unEdited" my thread for anybody that find themselves in this sitauation
Just dont panic like i did
I know this is a very stupid question but I just want to make sure flashing with CWM is viable.
For the leaked stock ics 4.0 rom I know I should use odin to flash, but how about custom 4.0 rom like Romow? Should I use CWM to flash the zip file?
Thx~
ps: I am currently running rocketrom v19 with CWM
use CWM n flash zip

You should read in the post how must it be done, you should start in annual kernel 3.9 then install chainfire.repack and so on

There are no instructions in romow's thread and that's why i am here to ask for any further instructions. I bet flashing a 4.0custom rom is similar to flashing Gingerbread rom. Am i right?
Also, some ppl claimed that I need to first flash the stock leaked 4.0 rom then have my phone rooted with CWM installed and finally flash custom 4.0 rom with CWM. Is that really necessary?

There are better roms now than ROMOW's one i think, try flashing Rocket Rom, or the new AOSP
From the instructions given in [02/24/12][Team Rocket ROM][open beta ICS v4.0.3][v1.5][15Tooglebar] daily ROM now! , it seems I really have to flash the leaked ics rom first before installing the rocketrom 4.0.3 rom, is that true? That means I cannot directly install the ics rocketrom from any gingerbread custom rom?

Yes youre right, there is a problem with root a cwm in ics, and you need to da that
Follow carefully the instructiones if not you wont hace fullroot
PROBLEMS!
Just have to ask it right here as well...I went to romow yesterday for testing reasons (just flashed the zip in cwm) but I have to go back since there are too many bugs imao atm.
Just tried to go back to my CWM Backup....now I´m stucked at the bootanimation!
Do you guys know what could be the reason here? And what I could do to get my nandroid backup working again?

Did you flash 4.0.3 directly from gingerbread rom? BTW I've heard many people say their phones were stuck in the bootscreen(The samsung N7000 with no boot animation) when they tried to go back from ics to gingerbread. Seems this is a common problem....

Yes, I came directly from GB!
If you can load the boot animation that means ur phone is not bricked. You should try to download a stock gingerbread rom from dr ketan's post and flash it by odin pc.

When going back to GB, i kinda 'restart' the whole process by going back to Stock ROM via Odin, and redo the root and CWM.
Else, there are strange quirky issue ex. CWM just hangs while wiping the phone.
Hey Kelvin Fong & J.wong, thank you guys for your support!
Sorry for noobing around from now on...I´m not exactly the newest guy when it comes to these flash-things, but I have to admit that I´m kind of confused now...
I tried to find dr. ketans thread (this one?) but I´m not getting into his post (sorry for that, as I said: I´m confused!):
dr.ketan said:
Now How I can revert back to Stock ROM/Unroot (In case of replacemet may i need)
If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)
Now place this file in zImage folder, n repeat procedure(Initial CFRoot Flasher), which you have done at time of pushing CWM by selecting I am rooted already
Now unroot with above said unrooting tool.

The first thing I´ve made evertime in the past was to read the full-noob tutorials...for some reason, I can´t find something like that for the note!
May I kindly ask you if you know a thread were these things (and perhaps the results after going back to stock) are explained from scratch again? Just want to understand what I have to do and how, it´s getting harder to find some information that are not based on years of flash-training

Should be this one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997).
Firstly, download one of the roms from [Older ROMs (Directly Rootable)].
Secondly, follow the [Installation Guide For Older ROM ], the one using odin pc.
You may see below another flashing method using mobile odin, but that doesn't suit you since that one requires your phone rooted before and will keep your root after flashing. The one with odin pc will wipe out all your data and apps(of course not your SD card) and also unroot your phone. That means your CWM and root will all be gone and you have to follow another post to root it again(now this one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360)
this one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997)teaches you how to flash a rootable gingerbread rom, but not rooted. This one(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360)shows you how to root your phone and install CWM. I think these two posts are the best tutorials you are looking for.
I think you should download this >>http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=907734&d=1329574136
This one is better organized.
Thanks mate! Saved it to my desktop...but finally i was able to manage the problem by simply flashing a *fresh* RocketRom again (?!). I thought it would be worth a try...
Anyway: Thank you very much for your support, it´s good to still meet that friendly kind of people with patience here on the board (it´s getting less these days) hope i´ll be able to return the favor in future
You are welcome! Please note your binary counter may increase if you flash a rooted rom like rocketrom you've mentioned above directly via odin.

As far as I remember I made my very first steps with odin after I reveived my note (root, cwm)...rocket has been flashed by using cwm. But yes, my binary counter increased definitely...
...I do have a USB Jig, but in some was I am kind of afraid of going trough this! To fumble around in pure darkness...hmmm i don´t know
Have you tried it yourself?
Actually I've got a yellow triangle together with increased binary counter as I followed another tutorial guide(I should follow dr ketan's guide before).
I think removing the counter with a jig is way too dangerous for me so I don't want to risk it. Simply remove the counter only when you really need to bring your phone to samsung because maybe you don't even have to claim the warranty at all.
Hai there, sorry for asking this nooble question but my friends phone seems broken.
My friends got a rooted SGS which has/had TeamHacksungs CM9 on it, which was working as a charm.. Then somehow last night when he pulled out the phone out of his pocket it was bootlooping, he took it to me and I noticed i coulnd get into CWM Recovery. However I am able to get into "Download-mode" Could anyone point out to me how exactly I flash a recovery image to this phone and what files should be used. I did look around the fora myself but only came across some very old posts which I doubt are compatible with a phone that was already rooted, and was already running the latest versions of CWM and Android [4.3]
I already tried to flash a speedmod kernel that came with CMW, which failed.. im still able to get into download mode.
Any halp on this would be really appreciated.
Which files do I flash in Odin to get a working recovery again?
Thanks!
You should be able to flash a stock rom using ODIN, and from there you'll be able to root it and install a custom one again.
ah yea, i posted that too soon, yea thats exactly what i did, i followed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493&highlight=install+clockworkmod+recovery
Sorry for not searching well enough before posting this, ohwell..
Thanks : )
Word of caution........ No one has proven that this or any other method.. is without risk...... The Risk of Bricking is still too High..... please consider that before flashing something to see if it really works..

Hi guys....
finally Sammy gave us a real ICS bootloader, and a new kernel (LPF), I managed to flash it to my Note and all went fine....
I'm nearly sure that THIS IS THE KEY, no more BRICK, no more deep sleep problems, no more "failed to restore" nandroid....just flash THIS with ODIN 1.87, run "download mode" on your Note, open Odin, select "bootloader" and flash it....then flash CF LPF kernel with mobile Odin
I'm preparing TMT1.3 to check if I'm right...
first successfully nandroid restore (combined with LPF CF kernel) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26245707&postcount=190
and TMT1.3 beta testing

May i flash new bootload with mobiOdin?
I'm not that brave to try it first but i'll follow the thread with feedbacks
Who have lpy stock firmware and have ballz of steel please flash this bootloader and try to do wipe data at cwm recovery >
Many thanks maxicet should we expect new rom from you
i rly rly rly rly hope this will solve the brick risks,
i feel so naked without knowing i can trust my CWM in flashing, restoring and wiping
I'm looking for that guy I've read a few days ago here on the forum, which has a "business" GNote and had no problems even if he brick it...
The ULTIMATE test will be to restore a nandroid backup..
million dollar question:
does the bootloader solve the brick phenomena? waiting for elite developers to dig and give their observations...
has anyone tweeted CF?
edit: okay i tweeted him myself.. just in case..

yes, and apparently his device is in the repair centre from the lp5 brick and wont be able to confirm until he gets it back
Somebody posted in another thread that Chainfire has got his Note bricked because of LP6 kernel so he can't test if bootloader is fixed and free of hardbrick
Anyone try flash it already? Any outcome/feedback?
Sucessfully Flash it using mobile odin pro. Will see if the deep sleep problem goes away
Currently on LPY stock with CF-Root LPY kernel

Would someone tell me if I can flash this via mobile odin? and what is the exact process that I have to do with both PC and mobile odin? I appreciate if someone can tell me and maybe others would need these instructions I'm currently running rooted stock GB LC1.
Thanks in advance

Hi Maxicet,
What would you require someone to try would it be flashing the new bootloader and then try restoring a nanadroid backup. Would this be a nandroid of gingerbread or ICS LPY rom. I would have a go at it for you. Im at work at the mo but let me know what you want me to test and I will do it. I can get my note replaced no problem.

ok, best test is : starting from a LPY ICS rom with CF root LPY kernel, flash OP bootloader with ODIN PC (I did it with 1.87 version)
Try to do a nandroid backup (with CWM recovery) and after reboot, try to restore it.
Second test will be to restore a GB nandroid backup....
OK so I didn't back up when I started flashing roms. Right now I'm using thrillseeker with great results but I need to start all over and back up my stock before I flash again...unless there's a way to download and flash through cwm recovery...or can I just use the LG updater and then pick recovery phone.? Please help
Update totally fixed
OK so I tried a few different methods I found and finally got this thing back to complete stock rom,kernal, and stock recovery....it wasn't that bad....I rerooted and flashed thrillseeker 3.1 then flashed 3.12 update ... a battery.zip and a theme and everything is great.......oh yeah I MADE A BACK UP.
...PM me if anyone needs help...I will do my best..
