First: Congratulations :D

Then, one thing after another...

Yes you can. Provided the ROM/Kernel comes in a supported format and not as a .zip intended to be flashed by a custom recovery. Well, by ClockworkModRecovery really, since there's only that for our devices.

But as said, .tar, .tar.md5 and other compatible files, you can also flash by using ODIN on your desktop. But, as pointed out numerous times, flashing anything other than stock with ODIN, you'll get the exclamation mark and the custom binary counter increases.

What does work? Downgrading :p Newest KL* are not rootable since Google/Samsung/Whoever closed the hole the zergrush exploit was using to get write access to the device. You can circumvent this by flashing an older ROM, KKA, KK5, KJ4 or whatever which is not fixed yet on your device by using ODIN, and then root that unfixed ROM using the zergrush exploit provided in this thread. Flashing with ODIN does not need root, every more recent Samsung can directly be flashed by using ODIN.

Anyway, once you have root, you can flash all kinds of firmwares directly on the device using tools supplied by the devs, well, by god of all things human Chainfire himself that is, and keep root with every flash you do. So after rooting, just upgrade your Kxz to anything newer you like, directly on the device, and keep root. Simple.

There is no direct rooting possible for newer firmwares. No. See explanation above. But from a rooted older firmware, you can upgrade to a newer firmware and retain root, this on the other hand is possible. And can be achieved by, for example, MobileODIN (which obviously needs root). Hopefully you see the difference now between getting root and keeping root.

This is a rooted Kernel only. Not a complete firmware. You need to download the corresponding Kernel which matches the firmware you are trying to root. As pointed out above, KKA, KK5 or KJ4 or whatever. Let's say you flashed back to KKA using ODIN, then you also need to download and use the CF-Root-KKA Kernel when rooting. Of course when you flashed to KJ4, then you need CF-Root KJ4, etc. Match the Kernel to be used for initial rooting to the firmware you selected to be rooted.

Why would you want to backup your rooted ROM for in case ICS comes? Forget about your ROM now and wait for ICS. When ICS comes, flash the most recent stock ROM then available using ODIN. Don't worry about losing data. You'll have to wipe your device anyway, since I'm QUITE SURE that ICS will not run with Gingerbread junk on the /data partition, I'm VERY SURE that ICS will be a full-wipe-ROM :D

As pointed out above, this makes no sense. You'd be backing up a customized and rooted ROM. When ICS comes, just flash a recent and/or legit and/or stock ROM with ODIN and there you go, your device is "stock".

Mr Ketan and Mr Chainfire : Thank You for the invaluable effort. :)

I did the following steps first ::cool:

1. Rooted my Original Note with Zengbrush ( http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=841876&d=1325678726 )

2. Flashed CF + Root ( Executed "already-rooted.bat" from same thread above for KL3 )

Now I have This :

My Questions are :

1. Is the latest version of ClockWork Recovery 7/8/9 installed ? If not how to do it ?

2. Do I have the latest Kernel and Firmware ?

3. Will I be able to install ICS when Samsung releases it OTA ?

Thanks and Help appreciated :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] RiverSource:
Thank you, Chainfire. It is really a good job. The new CWM Manager seems to be a Swiss Army Knife for me.

One Question: You are describing flashing the kernel using "dd if=/data/local/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=4096". If the CWM Manager is capable of flashing zImage files with every Kernel, why not using it? It should be easy installing the Manager manually.

I have flashed more or less every 3-Part Firmware with Repart, several hundred times so far. It never bricked my device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] RASTANIUS:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] deaad:
Hey man, nice work you do for us.

A glitch though,

When you go to recovery en choose restore, you better have them on your extended-sd card. The one's on the internal he doesn't find.

I found out the hard way last night. :( :D

So, if you are in a bootloop, you don't have a nandbackup to restore because it is on the wrong sd.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] netchip:
Yeah, but there are many galxys2s bricked by repart.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kersh:

After reading get rid of odin couple of times and don't see in the tutorial steps I was thinking that I need to install cwm manager app and install the kernel using it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] RavenY2K3:
Just to let those who know how, you can successfully flash this without a Computer at all using a terminal emulator, you do have to be rooted first place though.

2.) follow post#1

( Recommendation: copy the zImage from CF with use of "adb push" to your SGN )

Hope this helps ...

I´m an Android noob and brought home the bacon :D

Good luck , GreetZ R.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
I think I'm done :)

Added to the second post scripts to automatically root and flash CF-Root, next to the FACTORYFS flash method.

So there are is now 1 easy method for those already rooted to flash CF-Root, and 2 easy methods for those not yet rooted (obviously those also work on already rooted devices)

@dr.ketan:

2nd post should have all the info you need now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chainfire:
I have restored from internal SD card multiple times. Please keep in mind there is a seperate option to restore from internal SD card. It does work. :)

Hi Chainfire !

The N7000XXLA1 just arrived !

The link : http://hotfile.com/dl/141060546/b0c7420/N7000XXLA1_N7000OXALA1_OXA.rar.html
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] schaggo:
The recovery is included/integrated in the Kernel. You cannot "install" it separately from the Kernel. CF-Root kernels use the latest recovery available, so yes, you should be on the latest recovery available.

No and no. Latest is KL8. Inform yourself though if you want/need to upgrade first.

No. Updating to a stock firmware is only possible when running a stock firmware. Flashing a stock firmware once ICS becomes available is very, very easy though.

Hope that helps.

KJ4 should be close enough. Only 1 build difference. KK1 should also work, Samsung's really quick and releases a build like every other week.

Excellent find! Thanks alot. Mmmmmuussst fffflaaaash... My fingers already itch, the lasted flash is like over a week ago :D

So you full wipe both before and after you flash? Reason?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] manu_katz:
Well, I think that wipe data before flashing will do nothing more. But, cleaning your SDCARD will.

When I install a new firmware, I just keep my DCIM and TitaniumBackup directory on my internal SDCARD to be sure of a clean install. Then I flash the new firmware, then I wipe data. Then I wipe cache, dalvik and battery stats.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] schaggo:
Doesn't matter, the ROM is a wipe ROM anyway, your device will get wiped upon flashing.

These are stored in the /data or /cache partition respectively, which... both get wiped. So yes, also dalvik cache and battery stats get wiped when "factory wipe" or "factory resetting".

Boot into regular recovery and select "wipe cache" (or similar) and under advanced also select "wipe dalvik cache". This usually works.

After a fresh install of the kla kernel usb debugging and allow mocklocation automatically turns on.

I Finally got the LA1 ROM installed on my Note along with the CF Root Kernel LA1 provided here.:):D

All Hail Chainfire for providing CF Root for LA1 !

I installed from the CWM app and selected CF Root kernel when asked to do so..:p

Voila...Hit Flash Normally Button... and Ding ,Ding Ding...:p

Changes Noticed so far :

1. The Touchscreen is now more awesome than ever before. Remarkable improvement in touch sensitivity .

2. Lockscreen now Shows the line - 'Swipe to Unlock'

3. Some new apps from Samsung ( Samsung Music Hub )

4. Notifications Window is zipping fast.

5. new Option in Keyboard settings to Use keyboard with a Single Hand

6. Voice Command (VLingo) much better and responsive.

7. New Torch Widget

Testing more rt nw...;)

After that However , Out of some curiosity , I changed my CSC to Open Europe through *#272* method. Although the CSC changed from Korea to Open Europe (India -INU was not there )..I think it doesnt matters as much.:p

Before this I was on KL3 Stock ROM for Indian version along with Zengbrush + CF root + CWM . And did the following:

1. Made a ROM backup through CWM

2. Did a Titanium Backup for only user Apps.

And many thanks to those including those who provided links to Stock ROM LA1 on various threads :).

* * *

To all new users:

-- if rooting terminal keeps saying "system cannot find path" --

1- make sure you have the correct adb drivers installed on the Windows PC/Laptop

>> connect Samsung Galaxy Note to PC/Laptop and start Kies on PC/Laptop to check, if the drivers are not updated it will not work and an error will pop up at Kies

2- switch off your Antivirus software on the Windows PC/Laptop before starting the root process (!)
