At least for some time wait till cf root bug prove harmless.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] veasna.kelly:
So now, If I want to try ICS LPY from Darky GB V3.4.1, shouldn't I flash via Mobile Odin without CF root for safety purpose? Just select only tar.md5 and press flash? If I select Everroot, will my LPY be rooted?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Diamond360:
I just flash my note with the N7000XXLPY rom; did it include the premium suite ? I don't find it...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rainbowboy:
I am not really sure what Premium Suit Is...

Can't find it. Just S note really upgraded
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Diamond360:
I did't find all the features listed in the official samsung premium suite video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvH6vbhOs6Y

I got S Memo (not really different from GB rom), but I don't have S Pen (go to 2:29 on the video).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Premium suite - Open S note and click on + symbol.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Diamond360:
I don't have S Note on my Gnote; I just have S MEMO. I have download and install the ICS ROM from here http://www.hotfile.com/dl/155490069/c7932d4/N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_DBT.zip.html

I was on a rooted GB rom before and I didn't wipe when I upgrade.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Yes you can flash ICS ROM with mobile odin with ever root option enable to keep root intact.

just w8 for cf root kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
There are 4 's' application choice,memo, note N planner
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] veasna.kelly:
Thank ketan and this way meaning it's still rooted but without CWM? If so, mobile odin still work? SORRY for noob questions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Of course Mobile odin will work as it is rooted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Diamond360:
I just have S Calendar, S Choice, S Mémo and S Pen User Guide...

Do I have to reflash or to hard reset? I have installed the CF Kernel when I upgrade to ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I dont think Hard reset will work, but you may try it. Otherwise reflash ICS.

Edit : have you restored full backup of titanium? if so, dont restore system junk, just restore user application only.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Diamond360:
I have upgraded without wiping anything. So, when the phone boots up, I got every app I have before upgrading. So, I didn't have to restore with titanium.

If I reflash, does I have to select the CF Kernel again like it is advised on the first page?

EDIT: I reflash the ICS Rom, but this time, I have wiped everything. Now, I have all the S App from the premium suite (template, s pen, s memo, s calendar, etc...). May help if someone got the same issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
yes otherwise it will replace by stock kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Blackwatch:
For some reason I keep getting FC errors on Play market. Does some one have the latest APK for it, if so could you send me it please. I have 17 apps that need updating and everytime i try it crashes :( :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emze:
has anybody gone back to GB from ICS without any issues? i have been reading a bit on this and some people have issues with ICS bootloaders screwing up a GB flash
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] salemsnake:
I have and it seemed to work okay
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emze:
so, whats the ICS bug all about? annd it sure is creating a lot of panic/fear among Note owners who have flashed ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaskiratsingh:
As per my knowledge, the official ICS doesn have a bootloader. If you check the tar file, there is no sbl.bin and boot.bin, which usually contain the bootloader and are the cause of hard bricking.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] salemsnake:
I've been flashing whole last night and a few hours today along with wiping and everything...luckily i'm still okay, though i did have scary moments :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Go to setting - application -all

Select play.store n clear data.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
If you have i9220 bootloader n install this stock ics then it can lead to hard brick.

Using stock ICS with just root is safe afaik.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dengi_it:
Nobody using this stock ICS ROM is experiencing my problem with the original Samsung car holder & power supply?

It's quite crazy! The Note is working overall very well and stable, apart from inserting the power supply in the car holder accessory. Doing that the voice interface and car mode are activated and starting from there the system reports "com.android.phone stopped" and becomes instable, the phone call is interrupted as the bluetooth connection and I need to reboot

If I don't connect the powersupply (that is provided through a chip inside the car holder "teaching" to the phone to switch to car mode) everything including bluetooth phone calls audio and music stereo audio work perfectly!

Any advice to solve this problem that was not present with Gingerbread?

Many thanks!!!!

Hey guys I flashed ics lpy and I wanna root it how can I do that with triangle and count on customs rom and to let ya know I flashed it with odin plz help I need root access
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rocheau:
Ok, Dr Ketan if I have understood you correctly, for those that have an ICS ROM with root ( the Root Stock ICS ROM as described at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20963730&postcount=3 ) but without CWM, is better, for now, to wait until some bugs related to cf root will be fixed, and not to try to install CF ROOT through Mobile Odin. Am I right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Abagnale:
I just flashed official ICS using mobile Odin without cf-root. After the flash I got bootloop. And in stock recovery the home button was not working so I couldn't wipe anything.:confused:

Had to revert back to GB.:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zviki:
There is something really wrong with cwm or rom.I can't paste files into system because there isn't enough space!

And on internal and external SD some space are missing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ewdi:
Anyone have the Docomo (Japanese) stock rom? I can't seems to find it on the web. Might have to try FUS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
just avoid any recovery for now...

they say that CWM recovery and Stock recovery is affected...

this phenomena can only be solved by ICS sources for N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ultra99:
I've installed lp5 repack long time ago. It's says on booting i9220, but PDA still n7000. THat means I still have the i9220 bootloader, correct? So I should still use mobile odin ONLY?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aussiebum:
Try from a stock rooted GB rom then flashing via Mobile Odin to get root on LPY?

I had no probs moving from stock deodexed tweaked LB1 with Abyss 4.2 kernel -> LPY. Had to do a wipe/factory reset (via Settings, not recovery) though to get proper ICS performance... it was a bit laggy without the wipe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] debernardis:
I have been using "dock no-op" because I don't like car mode and dock mode... and get no problems in my car dock, phone app runs ok.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uccoffee:
but if you dont use a dock app, it wont auto set to keep screen on when on the dock etc...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] KHE3:
ICS Battery drain

Managed to upgrade my Note to ICS (instructions from XDA) and testing it for 3 days now. I must say that I am very disapointed. First, battery drain is huge so for me, ICS is still unusable. Overal feeling is much worst than with GB. Face unlock is not practical at all. Not to mention that Samsung Kies can't see my phone using USB cable connection etc etc

My advice - Wait a bit more for better or improoved version of ICS or better kernel (my is 3.0.15 XXLPY - Is there better one around here somewhere?)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Yes dont use pc odin, it may brick your device.

As per cf, mobile odin still safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
hey ketan, are you still on LPY rom and LPY cfroot?

agree with me??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Of course

Just dont use cwm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
so your still in LPY with cfroot?? have you tried deleting big files? coz i did and its ok...

never touched CWM since the brick phenomena...:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NLS:
Come on guys, is it only in Germany available?

News report more countries yet I see only Open Germany ROM.

Is it the only one the was given over Kies?

What about the OTA updates?

Where is EUR version?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thelucius:
I have a stock LPY flashed over stock LC2 with PC Odin. No CWM no root or anything like that.

The battery drain is a huge problem on ICS/LPY. But the worse problem is the Kies not being able to connect via USB cable.

Do you have the same issue like us, with Kies and LPY? It just stays on connecting and can not connect at all. Is it like that with you?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cwelle:
I can connect mine to Kies but mine is rooted + CWM.

I agree for the battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NLS:
Seems we'll need to wait for next update...

(and more region versions)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p_hsieh:
Ad Hoc?

Thanks for the new ROM. Does anyone know how to get Ad-hoc Wifi to work? The old wpa_supplicant method doesn't seem to work anymore. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hdragom:
Hi, sorry I am starting to believe I am too stupid

1. Download the Files first and put in your SDCARD [CWM zip][ SU-Busybox-Installer.zip][ SU-Uninstaller-signed.zip]

Easy and Done

2. Reboot to recovery.

Ok Done

3. Choose apply update from external storage.

apply updated from sdcard?

or

install zip from sdcard?

(Touch the screen as if you are using the phone to choose the options)

HOW I DO THAT? its not in touch screen mode with me!

Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.

Well nothing red if I just chose the zip

Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD

Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip

Reboot

You are done and now your device is Rooted

Rest done, still no root. Sorry I am stupid please advice again what I do wrong?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] elijahtan:
I believe the steps is only applicable to users who pc odin flashed the official ics...if u hold vol up home and power and u reboot into cwm... Pls flash via pc odin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hdragom:
I have a mac so no PC odin, but I was fully rooted before I upgraded to the Newest AlBa ICS now all test show I have root, but Su is giving me can't be installing su-binnary.

Well so somehow on a PC and starting to reflash, as it sounds no other option?

I am in CWM with hold vol up home and power, but from there I can flash whatever I want I not getting root back. Or do I?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NLS:
Can users verify if battery drain and sluggishness goes on?

I suspect both will be improved after some use.

Possibly ICS doing its thing for the first few hours of use.

So... anybody?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adewfaw:
Stock ICS

This ROM is a disappointment. Having waited for so long for official stock ICS ROM, it lags quite noticeably, hangs/freezes frequently, with Google Calendar Sync causing 80% of most problems. I am considering going back to GB stock ROM...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeffs99:
Bad Link?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emze:
i second that. bad battery(how ever some find the battery drain improved as compared to GB) and sluggish phone over all.

Can somene help me

I upgraded from midteam 1.1 to the official ics German with cf and my kernal is LPY. How would I restore back to GB because I wanna flash cm9.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeffs99:
Just curious about this method.

How does this method work if you're not replacing with a rooted kernel?

What actually does Busy Box do?

I know I saw BusyBox in Play store but sure what it actually does.

thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eliashadow:
Busybox is a set of Unix tools / commands that has been compiled for use on your phone. These are not usually full-featured versions of the Unix commands found on the larger platforms counterparts, but they are pretty close and useful nonetheless.

Soft links to the various commands are also sometimes created in /system/bin or /system/xbin by the root tool used to install the busybox.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeffs99:
So in the rooting instructions, is it the CWR.zip or the BusyBox that actually roots the ICS

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eliashadow:
Actually both needed for full root but kernel (with cwm recovery) in fact rooting.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ara_ffat:
Updated to LPY today..use stock rom using pc odin than flash SU+busybox using cwm..went smoothly

All apps and data maintained.

Upgrade fr stock DBT LC1 ROM..

First cycle for batt. seems faster than normal will see after few more cycles.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
with the increasing number of bricks in LPY, i decided to:

1. flash stock KL3 India

2. its no wipe but my phone FC as expected.

3. even though im too lazy to restore all my apps, i forgot to make backup..:(

4. will restore apps again root and update to LC2...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] neos_83:
Does this method work on stock GB ROM as well(specifically the ones that are "not directly rootable")?

Thinking when I get my note, not to flashto ICS until more is known surrounding all the superbricks happening at the moment.

If I use this method, does this flash the CFRoot kernal?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] akenis:
Report on LPY via PC odin install and root via temp CWM su busy box installer:

I had an app that didn't work after being granted su permissions. Downloaded busybox app from market and it updated something..... the app works now.

Maybe the recommended su busybox zip is a bit old? Or incude instructions to update after root....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] winthur:
DR. ketan,

I have flash to ICS tomorrow open Germany via Odin and also flash CWM via Odin. Now I have root access and everything works fine. But my issue is the annoying triangle when I on my phone. Is there anyway I can get it away? Does your method work using the recovery? I tried going I to recovery but it's the CWM recovery and I don't know how to update via sdcard even though I mounted my sdcard.

Please advise. Thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] winthur:
When I go to recovery and select apply from zip, despite the mounts the only file I see is sdcard \ update.zip but when I go through my phone via root explorer, I can't seems to find this file....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yeoching:
Hi Dr. Ketan,

i have upgrade my note to your LC1 firmware, so if i do a factory data reset from the settings, will it reset back to the old firmware? or will it reset back to the new LC1 firmware? will it maintain the root after reset? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
yes you can restore application, but remember dont restore ny old sys junk. just restore user application only

- It is for ICS only.

- After downgrade you can flash Cf root

There is no harm to continu with trianle, as new triangle away for New ICS shud appear soon.

It will keep LC1 (existing ROM)

Root will also remain intact.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yeoching:
Dr. Ketan, thanks for the quick reply,

so all the factory install app will be back too?

i used Mybackup Pro to freeze the build-in Gallery (which i don't like, i use QuickPic), it ends up disable my home screen photo widget (which i like), but now i try to unfreeze it, but it just won't come back after unfreeze. i don't know how to get it back, so am thinking of doing a factory reset.

so after the factory reset,

1. i keep the LC1 ROM

2. i keep the Root

3. Gallery will be back?

4. all my game data will be gone, which i need to backup first and restore after reset

Thanks for the great help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
@yeoching

1 N 2 : Already said yes

3. it will back if you have just freezed, Not if you have uninstalled.

4.yes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NLS:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drashish36:
@ dr.ketan

what exactly is the status of lpy kernel should i install it or not

By not touching recovery and deleting large files you are fine..no brick chance??

any other problem in this kernel which you have noticed

i m on cm9 rom and want to try kingdroid ics v1.1 rom

but this has the same kernel should i use it or not?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fixfox2:
I'm on LPY and have lost root.

I am trying to follow the steps above.

I have "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7"

Do these instructions still apply in my case as I'm unable to choose CWM.zip ?

when I try to install zip from sdcard... nothing happens ... then I get a reboot into ICS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yslee:
Just want to add my own experience:

Method 2 in the second post of this thread of updating to a 2.3.6 ROM while keeping CWM/Root doesn't work very well for me. I get constant soft reboots, and doing a Nandroid recovery gives me all kinds of radio issues (mostly with data not working after some time). I'll need to wipe then reflash back to a 2.3.5 ROM and re-do the entire root/CWM process again, then restore a backup from Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zviki:
Yes.I can also see right amount of space in task manager but not in Root explorer.I wonder what would happen if I will reflashed rom with mobile Odin without CWM(zImage)...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] myaditya:
So how did u revert back to GB ? using mobile odin ?

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

Dr. Ketan,

Right now I am on ICS lpy rom, for some reason i want to revert to GB Rom, I do have N7000DDLB2_N7000ODDLA1_N7000DDLB1_HOME.tar.md5 rom . should I install using mobile odin ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I think PC odin will better. though you will lose root if you have it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeffs99:
So what kernel is being used within CWM.zip?

And is this kernel known to haev any issues with backups and restores?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] elijahtan:
having that means you have not flash through pc odin,i suggest you flash it via pc odin first
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] n1cky6969:
Hi Dr. Ketan,

I need an urgent help from you.

I have modified the the vold.hstab inside the folder system/etc/ (to swap my external mem to become sdcard and vice versa) using root explorer.

It has caused my SGN fail to detect my sdcard. Now my SGN cannot install any application and always give an error "process media force close".

Now my root explorer cannot run anymore, I couldn't re-edit the vold.hstabto be back to its original codes.

Do you have any solution to fix this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shohid1234:
With all this hard bricking malarky going on i just wanted to double check, I have an unrooted GNote on a LA6 Kernel, can I just flash ICS with PC Odin and be good to go?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
The best? I don't know, there is no "best" rom. I used LC1, open Europe. You can flash the rom using pc odin. But the Kernel should be flashed using chainfires "already rooted" method. I think it's described in chapter 1.1 in the same thread he provides the cf-kernels for download.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Emrax:

thx
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
its been said that flash a GB rom on PC odin is the safest way to revert back to GB...

@ dr,ketan, would you mind adding the reverting to gb procedure.. so that users wont ask and ask the same question
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] claude4:
Will there be an ICS Open Europe release?

Good day,

Will there be an Open Europe released at some point?

I successfully upgraded from rooted LC1 to ICS germany and retained root and am now on ICS with CF Root 5.3.

I find everything much better and am getting used to the changes to Samsungs built in Apps BUT...

I have issues with voice commands and voice recognition over BT which was not a problem when I was on GB.

* I now double tap the home key and do get Voice Talk over my BT headset just like I did on GB.

* When I long press my BT headset button I get VLingo whereas it used to bring up Voice Talk. I prefer Voice Talk to come up.

* Now when I get a verbal notification and reading of an incoming text message, I hear it twice\echoes instead of once. (I know both VLingo and Voice Talk are speaking but I cannot seem to get just one to speak out).

* Voice recognition over BT is unusable, accuracy is as if it was listening in another language (and yes I see Vlingo does NOT have English (US) where as Google's Voice does in this ROM).

* Voice Talk when NOT used over BT does recognize my commands much better vs. over BT. This was not a problem on GB.

My 2 cents on this and I do not know what to do to correct this other than hope that ICS Europe might work better for me.

Anyone else have issues with this? Found a solutions or care to share your settings to get Voice Talk working and VLingo out of the picture?

Thanks,

Claude H.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
of course... ics for other regions will be distributed in the future... and hopefully no bricks that time..:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emze:
for all those who want to revert to GB from ICS Germany, all you have to do is,

1. go to samfirmware and download the rom you wish to flash(any new rom is good).

2. unzip rom

3. fire up PC Odin

4. turn on download mode(turn off phone, press vol down+power+home key OR use USB jig)

5. select the unzipped rom and put it in PDA of ODIN

6. Flash

7. Be happy

If in case your phone does not go beyond boot screen, boot loops, FC's on start up, do the following

1. turn off phone/pull the battery

2. fire up recovery (vol up+power+home)

3. select wipe data/factory reset

4. select YES

5. Wipe cache.

6. REBOOT.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gervasius:
Thanks,

And how to keep root?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emze:
As far as I know, what I mentioned above is the safe method to downgrade. If you want to root, flash an older rom and find the appropriate root program for it. Then upgrade using mobile Odin. Follow dr ketan's guide.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schiwa:
Is the stock ICS rom does any good? I hope it may not, not definitely at this early stage? anybody differ from my opinion?

I am LC1 and rooted. pretty stable, I thought for a second, 'should I flash stock ICS?

that's why the question is.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
No

I say you shud wait till next update.

Battery performance bad compare to lc rom

Still safety of ics under doubt, now bricked case even.with stock ics emerging.
