I have gone from LSZ to LS4 and I preferred the LSZ rom. I am in the UK and I'm not sure whether I had a Vodafone or Carphone Warehouse rom. The LSZ seemed slicker than the LS4.

Really, you can flash ANY rom on your phone... and you will be happy. HOWEVER, if you want to be local, find the release that is closest to you geographically. There is no better recommendation thaan that which can be given

Issue w/ restoring apps w/ Titanium when moving from LSZ to LT4

Did you restore your apps with Titanium Backup or with a similar program after LSZ to LT4 transition?

I had the following problem:

Titanium Backup crashed while restoring Google Drive. After the crash I re-runned TB and completed the restore.

In the beginning all worked fine for a short while then N7000 started to crash, It practically became unusable.

I wiped cash & data three times until I found the culprit.

In my case the issue was restoring my previous apps with Titanium Backup.

For some reason there is some kind of incompatibility between LSZ and LT4 from that aspect.

At the end re-installed every program one by one from Play Store. Restoring data from Titanium was ok.

Now everything is nice and smooth.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Some application matches android ID, and when you wipe device, it gets change. so this application when you restore with titanium, may cause force close.

But usually restoring application shouldn't issue, restoring data should be cause.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Please avoid discussion of other device , sometimes it may mess up others device. Here i saying you in general for your device, you can flash jb directly with odin, flashing is not risky just wiping is dangerous. after that flash philz kernel then only wipe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pcarth:
Any advice for me?!.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Flashing stock rom doesn't erase data, but incase you have bootloop after flashing, you need to flash safe kernel and then wiping data.

Dear Mr. Ketan,

These are my current details :

Region - XME

PDA - N7000DXLR5

PHONE - N7000DXLR1

CSC - N7000OLBLR2

Kernel: Philz cwm6 DXLR5 OLB 2.7

My questions are:

1. Is this the right rom to flash?

2. Will it trigger the eMMC bug?

3. Is this rom a wipe rom or a non wipe one?

4. Is this JB rom rootable? If so, which method would you recommend?

5. Since the rom I want to update is DXLSE I can go for PhilZ-cwm6 v5.00.4 I suppose? :)

I'm sorry to ask so many questions, its my first time using Odin so I wanted to be sure of everything. Thank you! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
1.in terms of what? basically you can flash any rom, as far as it should made for your device model

2 . flashing doesn't, wipe do.

3.stock roms are non wipe

5.yes, select philz kernel for lse
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] x33eraser:
Sorry, I quoted it instead of typing it together with the question. I wanted to flash N7000DXLSE N7000OLBLSE - Malaysia , which is also my phone region.

Have info not yet in SAMMOBILE: EUR version is also out today (Greece).

Will update with specific version info.

QUESTION: I am in stock N7000XXLRB (4.0.4) with speedmode kernel (old ICS).

Help me with proper procedure to achieve this:

1) Factory reset the device (I want it to clean up and I will reinstall only what want and restore only some data backups).

2) Apply a safe JB kernel with root access. (I think you don't mention one in your guide for JB) Best one? Can I flash it before I flash JB?

3) Flash new firmware.

Of course factory reset can take place before or after flashing, I don't care. Give me the proper "sequence" please.

I have Odin and Odin Mobile Pro.

I never use Kies but did use it today to see if it pops up with the new version - and it did.

So I got notification of Jely Bean from two sources.

Now is there a way to use Kies or OTA *and* do what I need? (root and factory reset)

I would do it "properly" but Sammobile doesn't seem to have the new version yet.

I did keep a copy the OTA file.

I don't know if I can copy the Kies firmware without updating my phone (to use it for Odin).

Any help with those things?
