I used to installing ICS based Roms in my previous SGS-I9000 and when I needed to revert back to Gingerbread custom rom, I had to use PC odin to do that, since just Nandroid restore will not work.
Is the same thing valid for Galaxy Note?
I am currently in rocket rom and like to try out CyanogenMod 9 experimental Build but wondering if I will be able to simply restore my current rom without the hastle of using Odin. Please advise if you try this already.
Look like no stable CyanogenMod 9 for Galaxy Note for now....
Well it's pretty stable. Bluetooth, Camera and MTP are not working.
But it's possible to restore it to gingerbread with nandroid restore.
I tried it and everything works.
hehehhee i installed ics 4.0 around 6 times and to revert back all you need is just a nandroid backup go in recovery and restore your backup thats it no nothing hope this answers your problem
enjoy

I know this is the wrong thread but since cm9 thread is closed, do you have an HDMI adapter for your Galaxy Note? If so could you tell me if it works on CM9?
Yes, you can restore your NAND backup without any problems. I've done it myself.
HOW TO PREPARE i9070 CUSTOM ROMS TO WORK ON 9070P
disclaimer as usual - everything on your own responsibility still, seems to be quite safe, the worst ever happened is no gsm signal if using not appropriate /lib/tee folder files. no soft/hardbricks reported (yet )
technical details - scroll a bit down
----
part 1: /system/lib/tee folder to replace
Jelly Bean Stock ROMS and ones based on Samsung Stock ROMs (Harshjelly, PureVanilla, LightJB..)the most important information: in order to get i9070P Jelly Bean modded stock ROMs working, you have to:
1. download this file: http://d-h.st/vUw
2. save the file on your sd card (preferably external sd, not the internal memory)
3. flash your desired rom, do all neccessary wipes and so on, but DON'T REBOOT YET!
4. you have to install the zip downloaded in step 1 (don't confuse the order of steps 3 and 4, otherwise your rom won't work for 9070P, ie. you won't have any radio modules working - gsm, wifi, bt)
5. reboot and enjoy
tested by users on various modded stock roms (read all the pages); the one above works on stock-based ROMs only,
----
CyanogenMod ROMs
for CM10, CM10.1 and CM10.2 file here: http://d-h.st/E9e
proceed exactly as steps described above
thx Mr.xD97 - files for /system/lib/tee extracted from his rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2278169
according to hannez_r
Tee folder from JB 4.1.2 TW works on CM11.

- thx for the info
-------------------------
part 2: the build.prop incompatibility:this happens if you attempt to flash custom roms straight from your 9070P stock ROM. once you successfully flash any i9070 ROM, you won't be bothered with the issue (until you reflash your stock ROM with odin again)
in case flashing of your target rom ends immediately with an error ("assert failed: getprop....") then you have to do something with your build.prop. The explanation for that happening is: there are build.prop entries stating that the phone is "9070P" and the updater-script prevents your target ROM from being flashed to an uncompatible device (not an "9070")
possible solutions:either: 1. grab some build.prop editors prior to flashing anything and change all occurences of "9070P" to "9070" and "janicep" to "janice". like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor or just edit your build.prop manually.
or: 2. unzip the target ROM .zip file, go to \META-INF\com\google\android and erase the lines starting with "getprop" (do NOT use windows notepad - it breaks the file, use notepad++ instead), save the edited updater-script and push it to the sd card. you're ready to flash the ROM
3. [automatically, to be tested] - waiting for your reports. ; use the build.prop.to.9070.zip to spoof your build.prop to i9070 model; it's a CWM flashable that should change the contents of your build.prop automatically. all credits for the script go to the author of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19093919&postcount=20 - remember, not tested yet, in case you still get an assert:getprop error after flashing this .zip, try rebooting recovery and install the ROM .zip then method 3 most probably not working, so don't test unless you have lots of spare time to play with your phone
--------
source and inspiration:
I found that in galaxy ace 2 i8160/L/P forum - you have to replace /system/lib/tee folder (or 3 files inside) in order to flash custom roms made for i9070: there it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159250
BUMP.
situation changed a lot. i9070P owners - try solution above

no more time today
btw. forgot to tell - take Gingerbread version of suppressed, no one knows what happens when you try with JellyBean version!
Woooow thank you

If I understand properly, I should be able to download JetMod ROM. Replace the three files in the ZIP “tee” directory, “cops_ta.ssw, custom_ta.ssw, smcl_ta_8500bx_secure.ssw”, with the same named files currently in my phone, go to TWRP, Wipe System, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Factory reset, then install JetMOD zip?
Does this seem correct?

yes, exactly. that way works for suppressed amoled/megatheme and for custom roms for ace 2 (ofc for ace 2 they use their /tee files respectively). so no reason it shouldn't work for jetmod.

BTW curious to ask if anybody dared to flash any custom JB rom over recovery to 9070P? guinea pigs needed
You are awesome! Jetmod works great! Thank you!
thanks!!
Oh thank you very very much! I have one question... Now it is not possible try to flash a Jelly Bean rom for 9070 ok.. But in future owners of 9070P will get Jelly Bean probably this method will work also for Jelly bean custom roms for 9070?

btw. I tried to run NFC on suppressed, but no go - deodexed NFC.apk, NFCTestmode.apk and Tag.apk, pushed to /system/app and set permissions, but still no way to run NFC. in case You people have any ideas, let me know fortunately not a dealbreaker to me.

If you have a native i9070p ROM... search the system folder for any file that contains nfc in the name, and copy it from the native i9070p ROM to suppressed. P.S. use windows search function
Another question: after flashing a custom rom for 9070 on 9070P is flashed also the kernel for 9070... Can we use kernel of the rom or we should change te kernel with CoCore-P? Thank you for the reply

as long as the kernel you currently use works OK - no need to worry; but check your CPU usage as some users reported excessive CPU usage all the time for older cocore kernels. I can confirm that cocore 4.1(for non-NFC version) and cocore-P don't have that issue

still no luck with NFC - the files I used are the only ones that can have anything in common with nfc. it gets even worse upon reboot as the NFC service app pops up FC window every three seconds and doesn't stop until I deleted it and rebooted again :|

Are you sure you included all the libs ?
You also need to include all the NFC system apps as well

I have never flashed a new ROM. I want to try JetMod. It seems more I search, more restoring options are presented. (TWRP Restore or TB) Can someone recommend the safest and easiest method for restoring user apps and settings (SMS, MMS, & Contacts) on the new ROM? I have a TB and TWRP back up.

For Contacts I use the in-built backup feature....and SMS and MMS I usually use MyBackup Root for stock Messaging , otherwise when I'm using GO SMS Pro I use its in-built backup feature

I must admit I tried Jetmod without success. Does not boot. Just startup screen being displayed.
I tried with default kernel and with cocore-P 1.0 kernel. Nothing worked. Might be something wrong with the installation (using TWRP in cocore-P 1.0). Installing system files seems to take just a fraction of second. And I suspect nothing was actually copied. I also tried replacing Aroma updater with the "regular one". Still the same...
Suppressed 2.2+2.5 worked. But it is not really my taste Should have tried 3.0 instead. But I would really like to try Jetmod. Any hints about the recovery?
Does CWM recovery for i9070 (non-P) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987313 work for P devices? Anyone tried?

well, probably someone that's using jetmod on 9070P will tell you how to do it. but to be sure: did you start with 3.0, run the android wizard->rebooted to recovery->installed->3.1->rebooted to system->rebooted to recovery->installed 3.2 ? AFAIR when I was using i9070(non-P) I had to proceed these steps as flashing 3.0 + upgrades without reboots in the meantime caused bootloop or similar
as far as CWM is concerned - 1. it's temporary 2. it's meant for JB roms 3. never tried it on 9070P due to the fact TWRP always worked for me
Thank you very much adamuadamu... It worked very well for me... I installed jetmod 3.0 and i've done all the update to 3.2.2 without any problem
So none tried to do the same thing with Jelly Bean roms right?

I'm pretty sure JB ROMs will have the same issues that GB non-P ROMs had....and we don't have the JB /system/tee files and kernel to deal with it

I think the lib/tee files are the main concern at the moment to get JB ported.
I have downloaded official kernel sources for i9070. And it includes config for 9070P as well. I managed to build the 4.1.2 kernel image for 9070P. But I don't really want to test it myself. I am not confident that it won't brick my device
So far, most of brave ones who have tried 9070 JB image on P-device have got a brick. If anyone could explain the reason, would be nice.
Does anyone know, if the reason is wrong kernel? Or is there something else in the JB installer that causes that. Some hboot partition or something?
Modem partition?
Hello! I just bought this phone today and I've just managed to unlock the bootloader and install my first rom. However my wifi has been acting very weird. It works when using stock kernel and stock rom but hasn't worked on a single custom rom. I've tried a lot of them as well such as "xenon" and "pac". What is wrong here?

I'm a new user aswell, but I used other phones b4 and I recommend you to factory reset before Installing these roms (If they are not installed over stock rom), if you install them over stock ROM(which means the zip file DOESN'T format your /system partition) you should consider a factory reset after installation.
Before trying these, if ROM developer told you to use a specific kernel, try to flash that kernel back, I had some problems while installing some kernels and could never get my Wifi to work until I reflashed the kernel.
Take a nandroid backup to your external sd card before trying these, better safe then sorry
Maybe e reflash using the lastest original kdz firmware and going to alll the root - > CMW(now is oficial) - > install custom room should be the way.

Is this ALL Wi-Fi connections, or just a particular one that you are having trouble with? Is the Router set to use WEP? If so then you're out of luck as WEP has big problems, but as it is old technology you shouldn't really be using it anyway.
Hello people, after I installed PA titan on my XT 1078 ( I only realized later that in fact mine is THEA not Titan) and this custom ROM is designed for XT 1068
now I cant revert back to my stock rom, due to some partition error
version downgraded for primary gpt
image file is too large
Although Paranoid seems to install fine and works, but I have no signall at all, neither both sims works
I need some help here, it seems a lot of people like me is experiencing this very same problem, but everything is too fresh and yet I did not found a plausible working
solution, I would be really greatfull if someone would come up with some genious Idea.
Best regards

Thanks for the reply , you tried ro revert with these errors and managed to work? Mine cant even load the OS, I get stuck at bootloader logo, I can only install custom firmware trough recovery .Sorry to ask, but how did you managed to load the OS with these errors
Never mind people, I've managed to fix my problem, I installed the correct TWRP recovery for my model and managed to install CM THEA and everything is working flawlessly.
The problem is that installing an incorrect recovery will mess the partition, I am sure I can go back to stock now if I use ADB to reflash, but I dont want do go back anymore, there is a bunch of new options avaliable im CM will wont even want the simple stock rom never again.
So lately I made an edit to my build.prob file. I wanted to make my device think it's a Note 9 so I can get the Galaxy Skin Fortnite (I'm a stupid brat, I know). I restarted it and noticed, that it won't boot. No problem I thought. I just flashed the same rom again I was running on (Stock Rom) but I got this weird sw rev check fail fused 2 binary 1 error
Then I tried installing several custom roms through TWRP but guess what? I got a bootloop.
I think it's because there's a problem with the Kernel or something like that. Still don't know what this exactly is and how important.
Please don't tell me, that I'm stupid, because I already know that. I just want to get some help by some pros!<3

I think it's because I've flashed older roms, but I was already using the latest one. So it won't let me go back. Right now I'm downloading the latest stock rom. I'll try to flash that one. If it works, I'll let you know :good:

Got it to be working again! This means the error mentioned in the main question is just because you installed the wrong/ too old rom!
