[Q] flashing back to stock.

hey everyone
im flashing my phone back to stock in order to flash a new custom rom (themidteam 1.1) and i must start from GB or ICS based on LP5, now, as the rom im using is not based on LP5, i have to flash back to GB and start all over agine, now, my question is, how to flash the stock rom? do i simply flash it using odin? or there are other proccess?
and is there anyway to make my ICS rom (midnote 2.0) which is based on LP1, based on LP5?
sorry for these noob questions
and thanks

Yes Odin is the way
Flash stock GB (or one of the pre rooted stock GB) using Odin, get CF Root for that ROM and then follow the flashing procedure described in the OP of tue ROM you want to flash

Yes Abyss Kernel is a GB kernel, you can flash it on rooted GB ROMs and even keep it if you like it
After you flash ICS ROM (or restore an ICS backup) Abyss kernel will be over written by the kernel provided in the ROM zip (or backup zip)

custom ics to custom gb

hello guys ... i need a help to flash this rom ... but situation is.....
first i am with stock 2.3.6 and then ota updated to ics ... then rooted and by mobile odin i used to flash speedmood kernal ...

now i am with custom ics firmware... so can i flash this gb custom rom ???
if yes how ??? like again using abyss kernal...full wipe and flash any custom gb rom ?
switcing from custom ics to gb will give problem

Which ICS custom ROM are you on?
You can use PC Odin to go back to Gingerbread and then root it and flash a custom GB rom.
Or you can flash Abyss and then reboot recovery and flash a gingerbread custom rom. If you aren't on a stock ICS rom, you can probably just flash gingerbread rom from CWM (like if you are using CM9, franco kernel, or speedmod kernel).

This rom uses an unsafe kernel but for now there is no evidence that a kernel flash can hardbrick the phone. However, I think it's safer flash a secure one (like last speedmod or franco's which should be safe) with odin or mobile odin (extract the .zip until you have te zimage, then flash it), then flash a GB rom.
Otherwise, you can still flash a GB stock rom DIRECTLY ROOTABLE with odin (or MO), then obtain root + cwm and finally flash a gb custom rom with cwm safely.

Gingerbread custom ROMs
Hello Friends, I have asked this question before in another thread but unfortunately there have been no responses.
What are the various Gingerbread custom ROMs available for the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000? CyanogenMod 7 is based on Gingerbread but unfortunately the Galaxy Note is not officially supported.
I am presently on stock Gingerbread and I will be rooting my device in the coming few days. Having played around with stock Gingerbread, I would like to do the same with custom Gingerbread firmwares.
One more query, considering my current Android version is 2.3.6, am I subjected to using a custom ROM which is 2.3.6 or am I free to use any 2.3.x based?
I humbly request you all to respond to these queries of mine. Awaiting your apt replies.

Installing custom ROM

Its been sometime since I have bought the note. I was wary of installing custom ROM's due to the various hardbrick issues. I have installed custom ROM's on other android devices (Galaxy S, Dell Venue) hence do have some basic knowledge. I am on stock rooted Indian ICS ROM :silly:
Two questions before I start:
1. I am sitting on a potential dangerous ROM, and I know it. Has there been any light on EMMC hardbrick bug by Samsung, (I have not tried any OTA updates in fear of bricking the phone). I am on Android version 4.0.3 (baseband version N7000DDLP4).
2. Is the CWM hardbrick bug sorted?
So I intended to follow the steps mentioned below:
1. Flash stock GB ROM through ODIN.
2. Root and install CWM (Is CWM the only method of installing custom ROM's)
3. Install the custom ROM (I was looking at Liquid Black ROM based on CM9)

sounds ok
use pc odin to flash GB tar file
CWM is the only way to install/flash zip files of custom roms that are available here.

1. No rom is dangerous, it is just the Kernel, change stock kernel with some safe kernel and you will be okay.
2. Yes, use safe kernel like Speedmod or Notecore, they have safe cwm too.
Maximum of custom roms can be installed using cwm recovery only, but look for Alliance rom, it can be flashed with odin too.

Wouldnt the custom ROM packages include the kernel too? If I am installing from stock GB ROM, are you infering the kernel will be what Samsung released when it came out with the GB update?

It does, that's why I said flash safe custom kernel and you will be good on stock rom too!, so basically its just the kernel which is faulty and no issue with rom as long as you use with safe kernel. You can also flash stock firmware using mobile odin and can inject custom kernel at same time.

Yep you are good to go as GB kernels are safe. You can also
1.If you are on stock ICS : Root it and install abyss kernel (Its a GB kernel so your phone wont boot).
2.Reboot recovery & Wipe data
3.Install your CM9 ROM.
Best of luck

Well referring to my given procedure (If you follow it) after flashing Liquid Smooth you will have its kernel (CM9 kernels are safe for wiping) as far as in case you consider flashing TW custom ROMS just make sure it has a safe kernel (Speedmod or notecore) before wiping.

Thanks, the inputs are appreciated.
A final question, I read that stock ICS rooted through CWM.zip is unsafe. Unfortunately I had rooted my stock ICS installation the same way, phone is working fine till now. Anything I should be wary of before proceeding (yeah am nervous about bricking the device).
I am planning to install a pre-rooted GB ROM as mentioned here:

I am planning to download the N7000XXKKA ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000CPWKK3 -----------United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse)----- Download version, and flash it as posted by Dr Ketan.
I will follow the method to root here:

Easiest and Safest way to return to stock

Currently running Ultimate N700 XXLSC JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.1 and baseband N7000XXLSC and Kernal Version 3.0.31-593490. I want to return it to stock as I can't use Sky Go. Do I need to downgrade to ICS or GB? any links to files would be great trying to do this whilst sat at my desk at work today so can't spend alot of time searching the forums

you can download the stock ICS firmware from samfirmware.com and install it using PC odin. (dont do any wipes while on stock ICS kernel. )
after install using Odin you might need to do a factory reset to get the phone to boot properly.. that time install Philz kernel for the ICS rom you chose using stock recovery/

Should I not download a Gingerbread stock rom 1st and then upgrade to ICS via OTA?

Not necessary but possible. Downloading and using a ICS-based stock Rom saves a bit of time and work.
But for SkyGo (in UK) you have to stay with the unchanged stock - or SkyGo won't work.

What kernel do you have? by the way there is official JB now
You can use PC odin to install ICS stock.. but will beed wipes before that so make sure you have safe kernel ..

I have philz kernel. So can i just flash stock ICS rom over jb rom?

if you have philz kernel.. first boot into recovery and .. then Philz settings > clean before new rom install...
once done.. choose advanced and reboot download
this will put the phone in download mode.. connect to pc and flash rom using odin

Ok thanks i will try

Ok.. by the way there is official JB now.. why you going to ICS?

Maybe I'm or i just I don't know something but you say I can just flash official firmware over leaked version yes?

yes. but its recommended to perform wipes
