hey guyz i am using darky's rom 10.2 and now i have to change my rom to cm7.1, so please tell me that can i just simply wipe my factory data and cache and flash the update file of cm through recovery or do i have to flash some different kernel??? please help me, thanks in advance
my "about phone" shows
firmware version: 2.3.4
baseband version: I9000xxjvq
kernel version; 2.6.35.7-i9000xxjvq-CL281085 [email protected] #DarkCore_2.9.2_JVQ
Build number: Darkyrom jvq v10.2
recovery: cwm dark core recovery v3.0.2.8x
1. put update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip to your intSDcard's root.
2. go to CWM and do a Nandroid backup.
3. wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache + (dalvik cache)
4. install .zip from sdcard = update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip
5. if you want market, gmail etc. flash gapps.
There you go.
Edit: here is quoted instructions
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S (or coming from another ROM)?
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon

Two recoveries
Now i have tried installing cwm through rom manager and successfully installed it, now if I go into the recovery mode through rom manager it shows the new recovery but if I go into the recovery mode through the combo (volume up button home button and power button) it goes back into the old recovery ie dark core recovery, so that means I have two recoveries in my sgs? Please help, thanks in advance
Because you're on Darky's ROM, you already have CWM. You don't need to install new one through ROMManager.
Only thing you have to do now, is wipe and flash.
With Darkcore there is no need to install the CWM Recovery through the Rom Manager. Anyway ist seems installing CWM with Rommanger does not work with the SGS. (I didn't try because i always got it with a Custom kernel but i read it a few times). Instead you have to flash a Kernel which includes the CWM Recovery
To the installation of the CM7-Rom. I usually flash a Samsung Stockrom before flashing a Custom Rom. It seems to be the "cleaner" way. But if you go after Erakko's Instructions you will get CM7 as well I think it's on you which way you will prefer.
I Cleaner install would help to make the transition easier...
go back to stock, then to cm7....for a much cleaner install....cause switching between custom firmwares leads to a few bugs at times.
Sorry but getting confused on what is a Nandroid back up, is it the back up option on the CWM or on the darkcore recovery?
It's a CWM-backup.
Nandroid restore table:
BACKUP -> ACTIVE = RESULT
Samsung -> CM =

Hi ya all,
Just wondering if I can do this:
1) Flash to CF-Root kernel (As close to JV7 as I can get)
2) Flash CM7.1 for i9000
3) Flash Glitch v13.1 kernel (if it has CMW, does it?)
The reason for doing this is to get past the 3e recovery console, as that's stopping me installing CMW outright (from Rom Manager) which I need to flash Glitch.
Tbh, not even worried about which version of CF-Root I flash long as it boots... only going to be on the phone a matter of minutes.
So, will it work? Is there a better way?
Thanks in advance good peeps of XDA
If you come from GingerBread Stock Rom
so you've got System 3e
with 3e can't you flash Zip file over Recovery Mode
You Had Right Way but maybe make a little mistake
If you use CF-Root, then use pls the kernel with Addon CWM (I prefer DarkCore 4.1)
So you've got System 2e, after flashing Kernel
Download
[CF-ROOT] --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 (take the one with ending "-CWM")
[DarkCore] --> http://sourceforge.net/projects/ficeto.u/files/
*Important
to do before flash CM
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
*Optional
to do before flash Glitch Kernel
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

If it was useful don't forget to Thanks
Thank you very much very much diklooc didn't know about the cleaning before install CM7, could have been messy lol.
One more question, if I flash CF-Root with has CMW built into it, will I loose CMW if I flash Glitch?
If CMW will get deleted after flashing Glitch, or if no one really knows... can I flash CF-Root then get ROM Manager and reflash CMW? If I do this, CMW wont disappear if I flash Glitch? ...if CMW will dissapear after flashing Glitch this is.
I could be getting this completely wrong, plus I don't know if Glitch has CMW built in... if it does then there wont be any issues as far as I can see.
Anyone know if there is an Odin version of Glitch (I haven't seen one...)? Would save having to flash anything else as this feels like "the long way round".
Thanks again all, awesome community
You will not lose cwm from flashing glitch, indeed you will have a gucci custom cwm......
No requirement to use rom manager for cwm - that method hasn't really been used since eclair.

No odin flashable version of glitch which I have seen.

So there's three questions here.
1) What improvements are there in CM9 over the Samsung ICS ROM that really make it stand out and make flashing CM9 worthwhile? What happens to all my apps and are there any killer bugs?
2) How would I go about installing CM9 considering the brick problem with the Samsung ICS ROM?
EDIT:
Some extra information. My Note is an unlocked version purchased from Amazon UK and I have already rooted my device, prior to which I flashed the official ICS ROM using PC Odin.

Samsung ICS and CM9 are two completely different ROMs, CM9 is the pure android experience, No junk, No bloatware, Super fast you really should try it.
However, if you use CM9 you will lose all the S-Pen features and it will become just a normal stylus, You will also lose the S Memo app(s) but there are some alternatives. To install it, Just flash a GB rom via ODIN, Flash abyss kernel and then flash CM9 (you will need to wipe on abyss kernel)
Pretty simple really I have a nandroid of paranoid android and a nandroid of rocketROM, so i can simply flash GB or ICS via ODIN and restore my nandroid, So i can constantly switch between the 2 as im undecided which one i like the most
Losing S-Pen features isn't a big problem as long as it still works as a stylus. My biggest thing is my widgets and apps. Particularly SPlanner. Does CM9 come with a decent calander along with a widget for said calender?
For installation, do I flash the GB ROM with mobile ODIN or PC Odin? And how do I install a kernel?
Sorry I'm new to the whole custom ROM world
Im not sure if the stock calendar will suit your needs but no harm in trying Theres a ton of calendar apps & widgets in the play store so you'll be fine.
As for installation, You can either use Mobile ODIN or PC ODIN, I always use PC ODIN cause i've always used it.
So after you have flashed GB in ODIN, Reboot the phone, Put all the stuff on the SD, then reboot in to download mode
as for kernels, Download this one https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/GingerBread-speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-12-Odin.tar
Flash it in ODIN (PDA) Then put this one on your SD card along with your CM ROM https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo.zip and flash it in CWM recovery, reboot recovery (under advanced menu in CWM)
Now find the ROM and flash it Job done !
So step 1) Flash GB with Odin.
step 2) Flash new kernal
step 3)... I'm lost
1) Flash GB
2) Flash Kernel
3) Boot into recovery
4) Flash abyss kernel ( not necessary as there is no brickbug on GB, But it states to use it on the OP of Paranoid Android (CM ROM) )
5) Reboot recovery
6) Wipe and factory reset, Wipe cache + Dalvik cache
7) Flash your CM based ROM
8) Jump for joy
9) Report back saying it worked
All your softwares which are part of Samsung rom will be lost, like S-Memo or the SNote, Splanner, TW launcher etc.
The CM9 roms have their own calendar installed and which also does the work that its supposed to do. With CM9 roms you get lot of options for modification and also as per your liking.
To install - you need to go back to GB roms first. Use the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
1. The above link will give you prerooted GB Rom and will also ensure your binary count does not increase. Use PC Odin to flash
2. Download your choice of CM 9 rom like the Original CM9 or Asylum or the Paranoid Android and keep it in your phone's root drive.
3. Download Abyss 4.2 kernel and flash using the Mobile Odin. Reboot to Kernel once installed.
4. Install your selected CM9 variant from your internal storage.
The above steps will help you get CM9. My favourite is Asylum and PA. Asylum for further speed enhancement over CM9 and PA for its Tablet mode.
Hope this helps.
+1 to paranoid android, The hybrid tablet/phone mode is awesome, and it looks really good on the note, Lots of customisation to change DPI too !
Thanks to kailashnj for linking a prerooted GB rom That should save you some time !

How do I do step 6?
Okay, Once you have flashed your kernel, It should inject root + CWM on to the phone, So boot into recovery (volume UP + home + power) then select wipe data / factory reset, After that is done, wipe cache partition, then after that, go to advanced and select clear dalvik cache.
then on to step 7

Ok thanks The GB ROM has almost finished downloading, I'll post here if I'm successful
you WILL be successful
Well the rooted GB ROM linked, according to Odin, is invalid. So now I'm going to have to download another one.
The one i used is just uploading to dropbox, Il give you the link when its done if you want ? Otherwise go here http://www.sammobile.com and download it

I got one from Dr. Ketan's thread, if needed I can just root that one. I've got plenty of time on my hands. But thanks for the offer anyway
haha no probs Sometimes old links get damaged and no one notices, So i like to keep all my downloads in dropbox incase someone needs it
I got 25gb free space with my HTC, Plus all the bonus space for referring people lol, I may aswel put it to good use
Hello,
I'm new at flashing but I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note, which already had Stock ICS on it.
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband: N7000XXLPT
Kernel: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
Got brickbug confirmed that I am running a dangerous eMMC chip firmware. I bought this Note from eBay and I'm guessing the previous owner did a reset. It is still working and I had no trouble with it, so I guess I got lucky.
Since I would like to return to a safer kernel and install Paranoid Android I read myself into some threads but would like someone to review what I've gatherd:
Flash save kernel for ICS, for example speedmod kernel with PC Odin.
Device should reboot into ICS with new kernel.
Flash Gingerbread stock ROM for my country (germany) for example this one:
N7000XXKJ4 ------ 2.3.5 2011 october-------- N7000OXAKJ4 ------------------Germany (Debitel)
Device should restart wirh Gingerbread and an old Gingerbread kernel(?)
Root and install CWM using Dr. Ketans guide and batch file.
Follow instructions to install Paranoid Android v0.4 from CWM
I have some questions for this as well:
Speedmod kernel flashes CWM with it. Does that mean it flashes the kernel and the recovery partion, too? As I understood, the CWM works from inside the initramfs, which I thought got flashed with the kernel on the /system partion (or maybe the /boot partion) but not on the /recovery.
Does CWM disapear, when I flash another ROM?
I am pretty sure, that I am running a free (= open) Version of ICS on the phone. When I install a Stock Gingerbread ROM with a Carrier afterwards (like above the Debitel company), do I have to expect weired stuff?
I am running Win 7 64bit, and I would run Odin v1.85 with admin rights. Kies ist installed. Odin found the device, too.
Thanks in advance,
gador
Speedmod Kernel will install Kernel, CWM and Root - And is flashable via odin or mobile odin.
CWM will disappear if you flash a stock ROM via ODIN, If you flash a custom ROM through CWM you will keep CWM (may change depending on kernel from the ROM)
If you flash a branded ROM via odin, You will probably get a lot of carrier branded bloatware on the device, But if you are sim unlocked, you wont get any weird issues like network unlock codes and so on.

So I guess, I can go ahead and they're no fatal flaws in my procedure?
(And flashing stock ROMS overrides /recovery as well?)
Check the videos in ky sig once
Just to be safe
Erm, All ROMs are different so double check in the OP but you wont lose CWM if you switch between custom ROMs, Only a full firmware flash via ODIN will replace recovery. However there are many variations of CWM, All however do the same job
the instructions above are correct, But seem to be a more complicated way of doing it, It says to flash a safe ICS kernel, THEN flash GB ROM in ODIN ??? That makes no sense.
Anyway, What i would do is, Revert to GB via ODIN, Flash SpeedMod kernel (for GB not ICS), Load all the files on to your SD card, Boot into recovery, Do a full wipe, Along with cache and dalvik cache, Then install PA + Gapps + any other mods !

would it then be necessary at all to install the SpeedMod kernel? I included it above to make sure, the kernel is safe, but when the Gingerbread Stock ROM overrides the kernel, do I have to flash the kernel afterwards?
I suggest you stay stock and dont do any factory reset or data wipe.
Then READ and read a LOT of the topics here.
All these suggestions of flashing this and that comes with a risk. And it does not mean that if it works for others will work the same way for you.

I'd say no. I mean, as I understand it, you're flashing the device in download mode. There is no need for a root user.
So, against my inner "good angel", who told me to wait for a new official firmware release, I went ahead and flashed away.
It all worked and here is what I did:
Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.
Restarted and got lots of force close issues.
Flashed the Gingerbread Kernel SpeedMod from here ("speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-12-Odin.tar")
Rebooted, continued to have force close issues.
Rebooted into Recovery (which is now CWM, due to Kernel update)
Wiped cache, dalvik cache and did a factory reset
Rebooted into a fully working Gingerbread OS
Placed PA v0.4 and GApps onto my SD Card (from here)
Rebooted into CWM Recovery
Applied PA v0.4 from SD-Card
Applied GApps from SD-Card
Wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache and did a factory reset
Rebooted into a workind Paranoid Android OS.
Although the SpeedMod Kernel got overridden by PA, I still have CWM Recovery.
Did you root first? and did you get the yellow triangle through flashing with PC Odin?
PS
I'm still dead scared about flashing a ROM after messing up my last gnote, never ever had a problem with my desire...it's shook my confidence tbh :-(

Well, the SpeedMod Kernel not only gave me CWM, but also root. According to PA Thread Install instructions, you would need to root your device prior to installing PA.
Yes, after flashing the SpeedMod Kernel, I got the yellow triangle, but since I bought this phone on eBay, without any bill to confirm warranty, I didn't really care about it.
I did not get a yellow triangle after flashing the official Stock ROM!
So I would hazzard to guess that this would not void warrany. (Also, in Download Mode, there was the little text saying: "Custom Binary: No" after flashing the Stock Gingerbread ROM)
So, if I were concerned about warrany, I would have a second look at Dr. Ketans guide, which describes the CWM+Root procedure without increasing the binary counter (at least I think so).
This way, you could get root and CWM after flashing to Stock Gingerbread.
I just had the problem, that Gingerbread wouldn't allow me to go into the Settings Tab to activate Debbuging, which you will need for Dr. Ketans method. (All processes were getting force closed)
If it is possible to wipe the caches and factory reset the phone with stock recovery, I think it would work. It should look like this then:
Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.
Restart to Recovery. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache and do a factory reset (You just flashed Gingerbread Stock, which should have given you a safer kernel)
Restart
Activate USB Debugging and untrusted sources.
Follow Dr. Ketans Guide on how to Root+ get CWM
Continue from step 8 above.
Since I consider myself a complete noob to the flashing business, someone should propably confirm, what I've just written. I wanted to be on the safe side and therefore flashed a known safe kernel again over Gingerbread, just to be sure (and to get root+CWM)
Hope that helped.
Well mine didn't :-(
I'm now cursing after my planned upgrade failed :-( I'm stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen wondering what to do
My sequence was
a) Unpack SGN, and it upgraded to ICS
b) read about all the dire warnings on ICS - and curse!
c) figure out how to flash speedmod and get root via the temp CWM - and I was pretty happy about this for a few days..
d) battery life seemed poor - so I wondered if the Abyss kernel would help
e) Went into Recovery - which appeared to be CWM (volume & on/off to navigate) and flashed the Abyss kernel and performed a wipe (assured that my SGN was safe with speedmod)
f) Now stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen - wondering what to do?
My recovery seems to be the touch screen version now - when I can get into it.
Suggestions please?
(My old nexus One wasn't this tricky!)

Wll I reflashed speedmod with Odin - and at least it looks like its booting!... anxious minutes later.... well I/m back. I don't know what i did wrong - but |I don't want to repeat that in a hurry.
I'll wait for CM9 to come out with an approved kernel before messing further!
Before I begin, yes... I did search and look through a few threads with similar titles but did not find my problem.
I am not a phone geek and I am new to all this, but I rooted my Note along with a "Franco kernel", which worked successfully. My phone booted up as it was before (in fact I noticed absolutely no difference in my phone, whatsoever).
The problems begun when I tried to install an "Abyss" kernel via CWM, which apparently installed successfully, but the phone would never get past boot-up (not so successful after all, huh?). I realized that it wasn't going to work, so I though no problem, and went back into CWM and re-installed the Franco kernel that I was using before (which worked). Strangely, this kernel, too, would now no longer boot.
I successfully restored the phone with a GB rom via odin (teriible rom), and proceeded to install the so-called "Hydracore" kernel (love the names) via cwm.... this kernel made things even worse. Once again the installation was supposedly "successful", but the phone doesn't go past boot. This time, it gets stuck on a very dim black screen, which isn't actually black, it is a dark creamy/pink hue that you can only notice in absolute darkness. (WTF?) This screen has random black blotches on it, but again, if you are in a lit up room the screen looks completely black and you cannot tell that it is actually lit. When I say that this kernel made the problems even worse, I say that because when this happens (dim black screen), I cannot even enter CWM recovery at all to try and install a different kernel. From here, I can only access download mode, and have no choice but to restore the phone with the GB rom via odin. I did so, and proceeded to install the latest version of "Hydracore" (v5.4) posted right here on XDA by the member 'chasmodo.' This time, I did the installation of the kernel via odin, which, once again, was supposedly successful... and once again a lie, as the phone just goes into the same black screen, with no option other than download mode.
The sole reason I have wasted hours of my life researching and understanding mobile phone terminology in the past few days is so that I can have jellybean on my Note. It seems that I am unable to do this because the Kernels are not working on my device. I have a very powerful and capable phone, which is currently stuck on this GB rom (which I think has to be the most terrible piece of coding ever made) so any help on this would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
can you try go back to stock GB rom.. then upgrade to ICS and root using Dr Ketans method and then install Hydracore
You flashed Hydracore on GB rom? that's the main reason behind your problem, this Kernel is not for GB. Now either flash custom GB kernel or flash stock GB firmware using pc odin and then root it. Check post # 2 in this thread for rooting. (I guess you know how to do this )
Once you have root and cwm recovery, you can flash any custom rom you want.

Hi there, sorry to hear of your challenges.
One thing to remember before flashing is the nature of safe / unsafe kernels. Equally as important is compatible / non compatible kernels. It's not clear from your post but did you flash Abyss on an ICS ROM? If so, Abyss is a GB kernel. It will install but the ROM wont run due to lack of compatibility.
Abyss is used by many as a Safe kernel, a base to flash a new ROM from . Alternatively, it can be used to "downgrade" to Gingerbread ROMs.
If you are intent on trying a JB ROM, I would suggest a doing a full wipe (use the numerous guides on XDA) and a kernel clean (jBroid Script Cleaner for example). Now, research Chasmodo's excellent Kernel Repository and choose a kernel. Hydracore 4.3 Standard is a good "benchmark" however you could try the Official CM10 kernel from Entropy. Reboot to Recovery and flash your JB ROM of choice.
You will now have "Full Wiped" (including Script Clean), installed a Safe (Compatible) Kernel and flashed a compatible ROM.
For what its worth, I found GB to be an excellent ROM, particularly 2.3.6 and 2.3.7. CheckROM was one of my favorite ROMs on the S2 and they didnt even feel the need (till recently) to make an ICS version.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

For what its worth, I found GB to be an excellent ROM, particularly 2.3.6 and 2.3.7. CheckROM was one of my favorite ROMs on the S2 and they didnt even feel the need (till recently) to make an ICS version.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Yes, I forgot to mention that when I rooted it I was running official 4.0.3 which I got OTA. After I rooted I tried the Abyss kernel. I had read that if you try and install CM10 straight from ICS you can brick, and that you had to downgrade to GB to do this. There must have been a misunderstanding on my part as I though that installing Abyss would downgrade me to GB.
What I don't understand is that I have now installed a GB rom, yet the Abyss gb kernel still does not work.
The two members that posted mentioned that I should root, though I did mention in the OP that it is already rooted... Am I missing something?
Anyway, I want to avoid having to download any more big files. I already have the latest "nightly" build of CM10 in my SD card. Is there any GB kernel that I can install from where I am now that would make it safe to install the CM10 zip?

If I were on a GB ROM and wanted to run CM10 I would Full Wipe (including Cache and Dalvik) then do the following -
Flash Official CM10 kernel.
Reboot to Recovery (do not go straight to ROM flash)
Once back in Recovery, flash the CM10 ROM.
Reboot device.

So the official CM10 kernel is a gb kernel? Because remember that is what I'm currently on.
And just to make sure I got you... wipe everything, install kernel (I don't understand what you mean by "go straight to rom flash"), but then not "reboot system", instead "reboot to recovery", then install CM10 rom?
Also, when you say a "full wipe" do you mean that it will erase everything like a factory reset and delete all my apps and everything else? And is there anyway to install CM10 without doing this or is that the only way?
Cm10 kernel is a jelly bean kernel, so gb rom will not run under it.
Full wipe does mean erasing everything. Coming from gb, there is no other way to install, you need a full wipe, remember, you're updating two full revisions of the os, so it's not surprising a full wipe is needed. If you're worried about your apps, root gb before upgrading and use titanium backup to backup you're apps and then restore them when on cm10.

If you are on rooted GB Rom and want to flash a custom JB or ICS one, this is what you do:
1. drop into recovery
2. do a full wife™ (factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik)
3. flash your JB/ICS Rom
4. reboob
Nothing else is needed, no intermediate steps like flashing another kernel in between, and especially no running Jbroid or Sybr kernel cleaning script.

Once again, my phone is already rooted... I have mentioned this several times.

You telling me that I can safely go straight to JB from my current GB rom and kernel?
I already have a "nightly" JB rom on my SD card, so just to be clear, all I do is go into CWM recovery, do a "full" wipe (how do I do that by the way?) and install the JB rom from zip?
Yes, you can go ahead. Just follow the instructions kindly provided by chasmodo.
But please, do not forget to flash GApps after you flashed the JB "nightly ROM which is on your SD Card". Otherwise you won't have Google account, play store etc yada yada.
Full wipe (aka full-wife™) means wipe data/factory reset. Nothing else.

Great! I am downloading the GApps for JB now. How do I install them? I understand that this is also done through CWM recovery, but how do I instal them? do I install the JB rom and reboot to recovery and then just install GApps from zip before rebooting system?
Also, does the full wipe have to be done in CWM recovery, or can I just do the normal wipe on the phone menu before entering recovery?
You flash the ROM by pointing the recovery to the "ROM.zip", the same is valid for "GApps.zip".
So you do the following, no reboot in recovery in between those 2 steps!
Install zip (from where it is located, internal/external SD )
*ROM.zip
*Gapps.zip
*reboot system
Wipe data/factory reset is done (most of the times) in recovery. Just get used to it. Saves you some bad habits on doing it on stock ICS ...

OK install ROM and then install GApps straight away, got it.
Just about the wipe, is it a simple one button wipe that wipes everything, or are there several things that I have to wipe independently? This is the part I'm not too sure about.
Just go into recovery and have a look. I mean, a really close look! Your topic was "need help to install a kernel" not "I don't know how to use recovery and please can someone come over to my place in order to explain me CWM recovery".
Sorry. Everything has been explained. Can't (or rather dont want to) help you further than what has been already mentioned. Period.

That's fine. I'll go into recovery and have a look. Thanks for the help that you did give anyway.
It worked! I have been messing around with my new Note on Jellybean and looking through all the settings. It doesn't have project butter (or at least the project wasn't very successful), but still miles ahead of Touchwiz.
Just want to extend a big thanks to everyone that has helped me out. Much appreciated.
