Since 1 month I’m a proud owner with kernel 2.6.357-N7000XXLA6 (baseband XXLA4), Netherlands version.

Now I want to root my device but keep it as close to stock as possible, understand that my current device is not rootable so I have to appy a workaround.

This is my plan, please tell whether my understanding is right:

-	downgrade to a FACTORYFS (will flash to “SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar”)

-	flash the latest firmware back using CWM Manager (N7000XXLA6_N7000XENLA1); full ROM but keep current CF-Root kernel

-	flash the CF-Root kernel related to the latest firmware i.e. CF-Root-SGN_XX_SER_LA6-v5.0-CWM5

Thanks for the feedback, I just want to be 100% sure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
Better if you make 2nd step at.place 3.

As after 1st step u will have root but not cwm, so directly get cwm for final rom.

and if rom file for step 1, you can't download from op, just use 4th line on my sign, it is same.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] snapo6:
Thanks dr.ketan, that makes sense, will change the steps.

Summarizing:

- after step 1, flash related kernel CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1-v5.0-CWM5.zip (step 2)

- step 3, flash newest firmware N7000XXLA6_N7000XENLA1_XEN.zip using CWM Manager and keep current CF-Root kernel

Some other issues:

- after flashing newest firmware LA6 do I also have to flash the corresponding CF-Root kernel i.e. CF-Root-SGN_XX_SER_LA6-v5.0-CWM5.zip?

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
No still No,

If you do like this, you have to add one more step

Flash CF root LA6 to upgrade kernel, as during updating ROM(LA6), you have to 'keep CF root' that won't update kernel.

So I recommend this

- Flash Factorysys.KJ1.tar with PC Odin, at end U will have KJ1 ROM + Root

- Download this (P.S. here zImage file is already added), extract on PC, run already rooted, connect device(USB debugging, unknown sources shud be enable), it will flash CF root kernel LA6. At end U will have KJ1 ROM + Root + CF root kernel LA6 + CWM

- Flash LA6 ROM with CWM, N select 'keep CF root' when asked.

So at end of this you will have latest ROM + Kernel + Root+CWM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] snapo6:
U rock dr.ketan
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] snapo6:
Just finished above :D

I've done the following:

- Flash Factorysys.KJ1.tar with PC Odin

- After this I saw that CWM V.3 was available so I flashed kernel CF root kernel LA6 through CWM but CWM remained version 3 while I was expecting to become version 5

- with CWM latest firmware LA6 flashed

Could I have missed something by flashing this in a slightly different way than you proposed?

By the way: I'm trying to remove 'Cerberus' app without success, is this different than the standard way?

zergRush file from InitialCFRootflasher was reported as an Android virus, is that true?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
'I saw cwm v3 available, so i flashed with cwm'

That i can't understand

After flashing kj1 with pc odin, cwm shouln't b there, unless u flash with initial root flasher.

Hav u flashed first cf root kernel for kj1?

Thn cf root la6?

Version is not important, it shud match to kernel. If it not matching, it will give you notice, 'you hav limited function, update it'

If you comparing cwm v5 of rom manager, that is different thing n won't work on note.

Cwm comes along with kernel, u cant select mamually. Mine is lc1 latest still cwm is 3.15. So if it working fine thn it is perfact. N you hav flash cf root kernel with initial root flasher, thn it must b perfact. (confirm in setting - about phone -.kernel

Use sytem app remover to remove cerberus.

zergrush exploit structure mimics trojen, n gives false alarm as virus. Just ignore it.

Edit : yes u need to remove adminiatration right for cerberus to uninstall.(setting-location n security-select device administrator)

Hey, I'm on stock LB1 and am trying to do that method to root the phone and install CFRoot. I can get temporary root, but when it goes to push the zimage (yes I've downloaded the LB1 file, opened it and put the zimage in the right folder), I get

And it doesn't flash the CF root kernel.

Any help?

First downgrade to older rootable ROM.

When Would there be a CF kernel version for latest LC2 ???? :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] snapo6:
You made me curious and to experience I've downgraded back and re-applied steps 1 to 4.

- downgrade back to KJ1 using ODIN (CWM avaliable and CF-R00t 5.0)

- flashed CF Root for KJ1 using InitialCFRoot (CWM available and CF Root 5.0)

- flashed CF Root LA6 using InitialCFRoot (CWM, CF Root 5.0, baseband 2.3.5)

- flashed latest firmware LA6 for NL using CWM (CWM, CF Root 5.0, baseband 2.3.6)

Wrt version of CWM I was confused with ClockWorkMod which is version 5.

And thanks for the removal tip, that was the trick.

Anyway everything works, thanks for all your help. You are a genius.

Hi,

I have just got my note and done the following

(1) Using ODIN flashed a a pre-rooted LA6 rom

this gives me root, i have checked by running the superuser app. it works. Enabling root options on File Expert. This works as i can see the request in the superuser log

(2) Dowloaded the LA6 cf-root kernel from this thread.

(3) Using mobile odin pro flashed this kernel. It seems to work, however there is no CWM manager. Also when i run superuser it appears that the apk has been replaced

as i get the initial version info. I have checked and am still definately rooted.

(4) Using script (already-rooted.bat) and adb from this thread flashed this kernel. It seems to work, however there is no CWM manager. Also when i run superuser it appears that the apk has been replaced

as i get the initial version info. I have checked and am still definately rooted.

Does anyone know why i cant get cwm? I want to back up my device before flashing other roms.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
Get cf root kernel n extract zimage from it.

Copy zimage to sd catd

select kernel from mobile odin, point to zimage file n flash.

You wil get cwm, n can nandroid backup after this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] zuts1:
Thanks Dr.

Unfortunately this does not work. Maybe I didnt explain very well but this is what i tried to describe in my first post.

When i do this, Mobil Odin appears to work. I select the cf-rooted kernel and press flash system. Mobile odin displays no error messages, after the phone automatically reboots i check the superuser log and can see that mobil odin has been granted superuser permission but the kernel has not been flashed.

It appears that while the pre-rooted LA6 rom has actually been rooted, it still has insufficient permissions in the system permission to actually write the zImage.

Even FileExpert pro which can get superuser access cant mount the system in RW mode and superuser cant upgrade busybox.

Maybe the pre-rooted ROM (which I got from a thread here) wasnt rooted correctly?

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

Hi,

Problem solved.

I extracted the components of the rooted rom, system, hidden, cache, and replaced the rooted zimage with the cf-root zimage and flashed all four files at the same time (not just the zimage) using mobile odin. This worked.

Hi,

simple question: if I don't care of counter and triangle because it's just for warrenty purpose and I live in a ****ty country where I'm never going to be able to take advantage of it if I have a problem, can I just flash the cf-root kernel with PC odin and be rooted that way without any other side effect than the aformentioned triangle and counter stuff ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kopitalk:
I did that with other kernel (speedmod) and it works fine on my stock. But you must ensure the archive format is correct, i.e. tar format and flash in PDA only. I warn you: yellow triangle is UGLY.. You may get a jig and follow the sticky post.

Edit: You should read the OP, do not use Odin to flash the kernel!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Latoc:
Ouch !!! Is it THAT ugly ?

Yeah I read the OP before but I thought it was more a warning not to do it because of this triangle and counter stuff...

Is there any TECHNICAL reason not to do it besides cosmetic considerations ?

Thanks.

EDIT: I just checked some pictures of triangle in google images search, and yes it is indeed ugly... oh well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
Just 'ugly' is question then nothing to worry

when you flash stock kernel with mobile odin, that triangle will go, just counter is difficult to reset.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Latoc:

That means I can root just by flashing cf-root with pc odin and then just reflash with mobile odin to make it go away !

Using GNote. Am having the following

Build no. GB.DXLC2.ROOT&DEODEX.

Question:

Is there a CWM for DXLC2? I hope to use DXLC 2 but CWM will auto uninstall whenever i flash to DXLC2

The phone gets shutdown occassionally. is it due to the different Kernel against build number?

I want to have the latest rooted DXLC2 Singapore plus CWM installed what are the files and steps required.

I have been reading and reading until im quite confuse and hope you can shed some light.

Reg
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
For LC2 you have to use kernel LC1 b'coz Cf root LC2 is not avaiable,I don't believe your shutdown error is due to kernel mismatch. May b it is due to some other reason.

If you update LC2 with CWM N select option to 'keep CF root kernek' it won't uninstall.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
You have to downgrade.

Use 4th line on my signature n flash that rom with pc odin, which is pre rooted.

After this get cwm n flash that ics rom directly with cwm, no need to update la4.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mertkan:
how can i flash the ics repack with mobile odin lite?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] needachange:
OK thanks!

Couple of things more: Does it make the warranty void? Would i be able to upgrade to official ICS when released? How would i root ICS Stunner or is it pre rooted too?

hey wait! any tutorials available for flashing ROM with PC Odin and then flashing with CWM?

all i have used wrt Android rooting is SuperOneClick but that too after watching a couple of tutorials.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
Rootin voids warranty, but unrooting revokes it, And when you flash any stock ROM with PC odin, it gets unroot.

AFAIK all custom ROMs are pre rooted.

Update ROM using PC Odin/Mobile odin/CWM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] needachange:
thats getting confusing. below are the clean install instructions for ICS Stunner:

1. Flash Stock Gingerbread ROM. Reboot.

2. Shutdown.

3. Hold Volume down key and long press power key. Open Download Mode.

4. Flash CF-Root-Kernel for Gingerbread. Reboot. OR Any other method you prefer to get proper root.

5. Install Mobile ODIN (Pro version preferred) apk and flash ICS-Repack. Keep EverRoot and Wipe Data checked. Start Flash.

6. After everything goes ok, you get ICS leak repack. Let ROM settle.

7. Shutdown.

8. Hold Volume up key and long press power key. Open Recovery Mode.

9. Wipe Data.

10. Flash downloaded ICS Stunner ROM.

I believe, after flashing that pre rooted KJ1 ROM (4th in ur signature), i would consider myself having completed step # 1-4 above.

After that u have suggested to flash the Stunner ROM directly with CWM. Does it mean i should skip all the steps from 5-9?

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

I have heard theres this 'flash counter' on galaxy note which cant be reset and it provides info on how many time rom/kernel has been flashed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
Even you can follow Instruction on ICS stunner ROM (always better to follow instruction which provided with custom ROM)

- first downgrade to KJ1 which is pre rooted

- Purchase Mobile odin pro

Now follow from step 5 you mentioned

Flash counter can be reset. this application is 'Triangle away' N works only on ICS based ROM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] needachange:
the guide in given link for updating ROM using PC Odin is only for Stock ROMs......does this pre-rooted KJ1 ROM (4th in ur sign) stand qualified as a stock ROM?

Yes it is stock rom. Just pre rooted, n consider as stock rom only.

Thats y it can b flashed with pc odin

LC1 is not directly rootable.

First you have to download and flash an older Rom from here. Try KKA.

Then come back here, and download the KKA kernel and use it to root your device.

After that you'll be able to upgrade to LC1 (or any other newer Rom) using Mobile Odin or CWMR.
