I have searched for help but could not find it.
I do not know how you work out which of the official roms to put on the phone. I currently have a UK unbranded I9000 with I9000XXJPO on it.
How do I know which rom to flash? Believe it has something to do with the CSC?
I have not flashed one of these but done many HTC HD2.
Do I need I9000XXJVO, CSC = I9000OXAJVO?
CSC is so not important. It's just settings from network provider which you can google yourself. Firstly, you have to search for full ROM which contains three files and a pit file.
Fisrt you need to read post.Try search on forums there are some many post about it.
Basically you need gingerbread.Latest version is XXJVO.
Try search if you have question you can send me PM.
Thanks for the tip on searching. I already said I tried that. There are 5 different roms all released on the same day. 3 of the releases have different CSC codes.
Now I have your answer, that I can flash and of the gingerbread releases and that JVO is the latest, I have my information.
Please remember before telling people to search when they know how to use Google etc, not everyone knows as much as you about this technology. Everyone has to learn somewhere, XDA-Dev is an excellent place to start. So many people on forums are too quick to judge and point out peoples fault. I have a lot of experience with HD2 but could not get my head around 5 separate releases on one day.
My galaxy note kernel version is DXLC2 (malaysia)
Did I need to downgrade my kernel version frist???
I suggest you don't root your phone otherwise it will be too troublesome for you, i.e. do a lot of reading, keep up with development (which also need a lot of reading), fine tuning your custom ROM (which also need a lot of reading), the list will never ends (which unfortunately needs much reading as well!).

Yes, you should downgrade first in order to get root. Here's a little guide I wrote on how to do it, hope it helps:

Hey danwteik,
Indeed you need to do some further researching before proceed for rooting as I believe you don't want to screw your phone up.
But as long as you're prepared, you're OK. Am too a newbie to Android and after lots of research, I've successfully root & flash my phone to custom rom as well.
Just follow this guide from Ashwin, great step by step guide and you won't need to worry much as you can proceed as per the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJjh6gi0Spw
Just like the firmware from the video, go download it from Dr Ketan's thread:

questions regarding root
hi all xda guys,
I am new to droid and love it thus far...
after having my galaxy note for a few weeks and doing some reading, ive decided i want to root my phone to have the best working phone possible HOWEVER im completely clueless when it comes to being this technologically adept. so i hae a few questions as follow:
1. ive read the root thread and see that there are a few different options for rooting, in everyones opinion which is the best / easiest to perform the most basic root to unlock my phone, root it and be able to install custom items.
2. CWM i assume means clock work mod...what is this mod exactly? and why is it important to install along with the root?
3. my phone settings read that my kernel version is 2.6.35.11..one rooting option i believe requires you finding out which kernel your running and they list kernels as kk## etc. how do i figure out exacty which kernel I am if it only reads the previously listed kernel version?
4. what exactly does it mean when someone told me theyre going to instal custom kernels? ( i have a friend who just bought and rooted a new Samsung GS2 and im curious as to what this means)
5. i've read the rooting directions and watched videos posted and googled my brains out...does anyone know where i can go to find the most basic and simplest explanation and directions for rooting my GN? (if youre reading and got this far and saying the explaination in the root thread IS THE EASIEST it can be....i need something dumbed down to the level a 2 year old can understand....this stuff is mind-boggling confusing for me for some reason i cant wrap my head around the process or the concept)
6. i basically want to root my phone for these reasons
- to figure out and manage to make my phone use less running ram to run faster
- to be able to install or customize the phone to make my battery last longer
- to be able to do whatever it takes to tether my phone without having to pay for it in my data plan
-to be able to install or whatever it is that allows me to customize my phone (themes, fonts, icons, etc)
- to use my phone worldwide on different carriers without having to pay for unlocking, buying other sim cards etc.
- to install or whatever to have my phone do amazingly cool stuff. (this isnt as important as 1-5 but hey who doesnt want a phone that can do everything and then some?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! i've googled it and asked friends and even have contacted someone on craigslist who offers a service for a nominal fee. but im smart and smart enough technologically speaking that i can figure it out.
i just need someone to sit down with me and explain everything step by step and answer my questions. PLEASE i'm willing to do anything and everything possible to learn and re-pay someone for their awesome-ness and sharing their intelligence.
someone something, please help a fellow user out.
*i'd even go so far as to pay-pal someone a few bucks or bake you a cake and ship it to you. im that serious.
please guys,
XDA rocks, droid rocks, YOU rock, just help me out...i've spent 5 days trolling xdas forums and other sites and forums and have just gotten more confused. someone dumb this down for me!

Hi,
I just got my Galaxy Note last week and would like to root it. I found the link below and would like to check with you guys first if they really work. I could not post on that thread for I'm a new member. I think some of you have posted in that thread too. Please help.

1.) Can I use the this:

2.) Can I use Odin3 v1.85?
3.) Can I still unroot after this?
4.) I just need the PDA file to gain root access and ensure No-Wipe?
Thanks in advance.

1.yes you can use it
2.yes
3.yes, flash with Stock ROM with PC odin, will unroot it.
4.Read installation guide on post from whr you downloading. I can add, dont flash CSC otherwise, it will wipe off data.
Hello Friends.
I am very keen on getting started with the Rooting process for my Galaxy Note. I have been reading and trying to comprehend the various methods of achieving root but it seems overwhelming and daunting.
I reiterate what I have stated in another thread, I am an infant in this domain. I feel much too confused presently and thus I humbly request you to please guide me one step at a time.
At the very beginning, I aspire to achieve two motives. They are -
1] Root my device
2] Back up the stock ROM
My device details are :
Model number
GT-N7000
Android version
2.3.6
Baseband version
N7000XXKK5
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566
[email protected] #2
Build number
GINGERBREAD.XXKKA
I thank you in advance for continuing to have patience with me.
Hello everyone. This sure is a terific forum for android resources.
I have a i9000T on Android 2.2.1 and I'm planning to flash it to CM10 Jelly Bean when the next M series firmware is released. I'm comfortable with doing geeky things with computers but not so much on Android phones since I'm pretty new to it and hadn't been exposed to it that much. In the past so far I managed to root the I9000T with CMW to back it up and installed a commandline app on it.
I've done a lot of reading and research on the I9000 but I haven't gotten to any resources explaining how modems work or how one is compatible with another. I'm under the impression that after flashing to CM10 I might have to install the modem or a compatible modem for my i9000T to work. My current baseband shows UBJP9 which doesn't have a lot of useful hits on google. I've found the modem collection at this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870460) but couldn't find the exact match. (How come some on the list have only 3 digits?) My question is then how to figure which ones on the list are compatible with my device, and how to apply the file to the device?
On a side note, how do we decipher the baseband code and figure which other basebands are compatible with one another? The first 2 digits are country code, and the next 3 are modem codes?
If someone would help explain some of those questions or point me to resources to read about those things I greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I came from there initially, and wanted to ask in that thread but wasn't allowed to. I sort of not want to test the modems one by one because being a noob at androids usage I wouldn't be able to recognize if one is better than another. But reading that thread more closely I now know what the last 3 characters mean, although not all of it makes sense (for instance the P in my JP9 doesn't really map to a month).
I think the general tone one could get from that thread is more of like "try and see" and doesn't really answer my curiosities. Also from the discussions one would think that newer versions don't neccesarily mean better. I'm hoping to find more insight on what makes a firmware compatible with another, but the discussions there (or other sources I've come across) doesn't lead that way. The country code on my current modem is for Brazil but it is working in the US. That sort of suggests that the transmission bands the carrier operate on could be more important, and maybe some would suggest to go for modem firmwares in the country where the phone is actually being used. I was hoping to find discussions that tell us what all those firmware are, or what they do (i.e whether a firmware would make the phone work on one specific band or multiple bands, etc..) and things of that nature.

Thanks. So I'll flash to CM10, then flash the modem alone using one of the modem firmwares in the above thread? Is it possible to keep my current modem going from Froyo 2.2.1 to CM10 Jellybean? Ideally I'd like to keep my current modem in CM10 to see how well it works (if it works). Is the modem association separate from the OS, or does the OS already have a specific modem associated with it when the OS was put together? If the latter case, every time we flash CM10 with newer M or nightly builds we'll also need to flash the modem afterward again?
Thank everyone for your input so far. Sorry to throw all those questions out there, but I wish there's some kind of reference to how Androids work so we all can benefit from.

Hey all,
I am in the N900A NC2 4.4.2 boat and I want out!
Do we really need root to install a different ROM?
Can't we push somehow e.g. CM on the phone using Odin, or something?
I just want to make my Note 3 livable till Nexus 6 comes out

I sometimes wonder why the search function even exists...
Yes you need root access to install custom roms via safestrap.
You need an unlocked bootloader to install a custom recovery and flash roms.
The latest 4.4.2 release ending with NC2 has a locked bootloader and does not have root access. Currently there is no way to obtain it.
Please follow forum rules and search before posting a question that has probably been answered. Try reading the general section and the sticked posts. One's like "[INDEX] AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 All-In-One Resource Thread!" might be able to help with unanswered questions. If you still can't find your answers and it's support related, please post a question in the stupid question threads. They are in most sections. This is a development site, not a support site.
