assitance please

Brother I am right there with you. Hopefully I will get it figured out an i'll repost it here. If anyone could possible set some time aside to speak with me live (either via IRC or VOIP). I'm sure it's probably buried in this site somewhere, but I am getting stuck where my man here is. I'm not even trying to flash again until I'm sure I got it.

My story is as follows:

Purchased the n7000 from a friend. He isn't very experienced at flashing, however when he gave it to me it was already running stock ICS. I chose the same GB Stock ROM that mirrored the ICS version above it on page 1. I have considered that it's possible that I should be loading a GB bootloader into Odin as well, but I did not do that initially.

I want to get off the damn ol stock ICS so I can flash other custom ROMS, however I'm holding an expensive paper weight for the time being.

Stuck before writing starts means something wrong with connection level

In case of brick, it usually stucks after nand write starts, means somthing shud start like factoryfs

Here in log it seems nand write starts, but actually factoryfs or other file writing doesn't started, this happenes usually when device is not connected properly.

Try this

Change USB port, try to connect directly to MB port(back side PC in case of desktop PC)

Avoid any extension cable you are using to connect USB

Close antivirus/firewall if running

Completely close kies OR better uninstall kies and just install plain driver (find it from toolbox on my signature), and when first time attach device let complete task finish. then only start odin

Remove any other PC sunc SW running

if possible you can try on other PC

Yes I have bought mobile odin.

Could you explain what is now mode? What are the chances that it might lock, pretty much zero right, considering that I have never had it locked? Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I think this was not for you, i asked it to guys who is not able to use PC odin.

Mod means , flashable zip available if device is re-locked on LRI/K, after flashing that zip, you can unlock with galaxy_s unlock application.

Though your device is unlocked chances are rare, it may get locked.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mobile88:
Downgrade use odin to flash firmware that can work with zergrush exploit eg KKA

Use zergrsyh to root and have CWM installed

Use mobile odin to flash your kl7 0r kl8 rom and replace kernel with Chainfire appropriate file ( extract it down one level to tar format) and flash

You will have kl7 or kl8 rooted and CWM installed

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but, uuuhm... to be honest, no other anser than "your device will tell you once we got a release" comes to mind, mainly because a) there is no ICS from samsung for anyone b) since no one has any experience on that matter no one will be able to tell you c) you gave no information whatsoever on what your device was, what it is now, product code, csc, ... and d) I do believe if we continue this dialog in here we both will be punished as this somehow belongs in General or Q&A and not in Dev.

I flashed my galaxy note using cfroot and had cwm installed.

Downloaded Mobile odin from the market also kl8 from here...

Now I flashed my Note with the "CODE" tar file.

I did select ever root.

I have lost all my apps and cwm, I have superuser tho.

What did I do wrong? Why did I lose all data? How do I get cwm back?

Please I need help... anyone?

I think this is wipe version.

CWM is not in power menu? actually i dont know, but if you have lost you can get it back from post in my signature' How to root..."

get kernel for kl8 (or which you have flashed), you can flash kernel with mobile odin too

Which of them should i take into account to root and to install CWM?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
It depends on your location. Though you can select any one to flash ROM, but better support you will get in region, where you are.

You have to select same kernel to Root + CWM, If your kernel KK2, you select I 'have kernel KK1/kk2/kk3 ..' in a link i have mention in my signature
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Better you clear it, what exactly it is, link showing just download file, nothing more detail

I think it is CM 9, and S pen not supported, just 102 MB ?, so likely it is not a full ROM

Can put source link here ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashwin123:

Can i flash these stock ROMS using CWM Recovery+ Full WIPE?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
Flashing stock, as mentioned further up, doesnt increase the counter or trigger the warning triangle. Flashing custom stuff with ODIN will, though. You can avoid it by using CWM or MobileODIN for your custom flashing activities.

MobileODIN Pro or CWM free. For instructions see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449750

Yes. See here for fool proof instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449750

If you flash a no-wipe firmware but want your device wiped, of course you can do that any time by using the function built in into clockworkmod recovery.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bryce2010:
hey sorry I'm confused because I'm reading in this thread people have applied

LA4 & not lost root.

My phone is prompting me that I have a firmware update (I'm on KK9,stock,rooted). (don't know what the update is, assuming it is latest LA4?)

Does that mean if I do it normally using the phone it will preserve data & root?

Or should I download the file from the first post & instal it using mobile odin pro which i just bought from market?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
XEU is in like every other firmware release... LA4 at least has it. Go here http://www.samfirmware.com/samsunglettercode.htm, check which releases contain English (=XEU) and then get that firmware. And please don't fullquote. Especially not the initial post.

By using the tools needed to achieve that.

No. You'll lose it.

Yes. You'll keep it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lightfire:
edited full quote - I just didn't want to hear "try searching", as I have.

OK, on the above referenced website, 3 different XEU meanings:

XE = en,et,lt,lv,ru,uk(az,bg,de,fr,ka,kk,mk,ro,sr)

AND XE, Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine

AND XEU = UNITED KINGDOM

Another reference I found said the XEU code referred to "Open European"

Which is correct? United Kingdom? I thought UK phones had already received updates past November releases, am I wrong?

I still am not sure which firmware I have, does the info below mean xxkka as opposed to latest xxla4 firmware? I don't see this xxkka listed anywhere.

I think I have a November firmware and there is no update from Samsung for this code. My kernal version says 2.6.35.7-N7000xxkka-cl726566
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
No, on the referenced website I get one (1) single hit for XEU. And XEU is strictly speaking not a CSC but a product code. And XEU means Open Europe English UK. Open as opposed to O2 branded, Vodafone, T-Mobile, ...

On the page referenced, if you read the title of each table, you could easily tell what the rest means you posted. So, doing it myself, I have a search hit for XE. Title of table is "Code/Country". So one could guess that a ROM carrrying the release code XEKJ7 is software revision KJ7, released for region XE, which obviously according to the reference is Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine. Pretty much Eastern Europe. We have a second search hit for XE, this time round the table's title is "Languages Information/Country code". And next to XE stands EN, ET, LT, LV, RU, UK and some more. It took me now about 2 seconds to cross reference ET, LT, LV RU and UK with EsTonia, LatVia, LiThuania, RUssia and UKraine. And by taking everything including tables titles into consideration, I get the following picture:

XE is the region code for somewhat Eastern Europe. Countries targeted are Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine. Languages and CSC details contained are English, Estii, Lithuanian, Latvian, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, German, French, Kazakish (?), Macedonish, Romanian, Serbian and "AZ" plus "KK" which I cannot identify myself.

What you could do with this information, is go there again, check all region codes which contain English, EN, note them down and then cross check the forums if you find any ROM release which matches any of the region codes containing English. So XE, your own example, would work, it obviously does contain English. Another well known one is XX, stands for Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom. Or if that takes too long for you, you may simply search for the term "United Kingdom" and have a look which region codes do fit that search. A quick search just now revealed MS, XA, XX and XW. So all these are definitely good to go in any case because UK is part of the release region, so English - I didnt check, but I could - is definitely included. So, there we go, and as I just said a couple lines above: if that isnt enough choice, you can always go and check which release codes contain English and then hunt down any of the possible candidates here in the forums.

And a very special treat for you: Your current region is XX, btw, just as a hint...

Get how it works now, more or less?

hi Dr. Ketan,

i managed to root my Note on KK1 using "DoomLord_ZergRush", then also install CWM Recovery with CF-Root kernel via "InitialCFRootFlasher".

Now how do i upgrade my firmware from KK1 to LA1?

i download the complete firmware, and unzip till it contains "cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, modem.bin, zImage"

but in your post, you wrote about

where is all these CODE_blah.tar.md5, GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC.blah.tar.md5, MODEM_blah.tar.md5 files?

Pls advise.

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
Ok just to let everyone know and those still struggling to get your notes rooted basically do this.

Use pc odin and flash your phone to a lower firmware (don't worry it will go fine if you read the instructions and follow them no yellow triangle and stuff)

I used India KL1 stock rom from samfirware.com (be warned it takes very long to download it if you don't have a premium hotfile account so if your expecting a 5 minute thing then forget it, took me about 3 hors jlto do the entire thing)

Just use the India KL1 even if your note is not from india or use whatever other rom you feel comfortable with, just make sure its rootable

So after flashing your note with Pc version of odin then use unlock22 software to root your phone, which takes about 10 minutes.

Then finally download your firmware you were on or the one you want (in my case was a LA1) and use mobile odin to flash it

The reason why you do this long method to flash is because LA1 kernel is not directly rootable meaning it can be rooted but you MUST use this longer meathod.

At the end of it all my phone is still functioning fabulously like before but only difference is it is more free than before since its rooted and no loss of data.

I wanna thank Dr. Ketan a lot as he was the one who helped me with my long list of questions without getting annoyed so I appreciate it and thank you from the bottom of my heart, so basically Dr. Ketan is the best and just follow the links in his signiture if you want to root your galaxy note.

Once again thank you Dr Ketan (you rock) and this thread's question... is solved!

Use WinRAR if you haven't used it already.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
It may be due to extracting tool, no error in file. use different winrar/7-zip

You have extracted 1 step deep, dont extract all this file but just keep single file

N7000XXLA4_N7000OXALA4_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5 on memory card

If using CWM, place it to ext memory card/firmware folder

or if using Mobile Odin, then you can put on Ext/Int memory

in case of Mobile odin pro keep, everroot option On

In case CWM, wheb ask about rooting, select to keep CF Root Kernel

Thanx, n wellcome.

Dr. Ketan, when I go for clean installation after flashing GB rom over ICS I got an error. Its showing "The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly.Please try again". I am unable to wipe cache and data, now what to do?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emze:
that happens sometimes.. not really common.. but yeah. you could do one of three things.

1. Battery pull and restart(hoping you do not get the error report again)

2. Get into "recovery" and then try the wipe data

3. Re-flash the rom.

Do step no.2 ONLY if you are on Gingerbread 2.3.X rom.
