Ok get new SD card, put ROM file (confirm you have extract it to .tar) in firmware folder of ext SD card

then open CWM

n select 'Flash Stock Firmware'

n select 'Keep CF root' when asked

And note this is for Stock ROM only, cutom ROM can't be install this way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Nope, You have to downgrade first to root your device. LA4 is non rootable

hey doc :)

i flashed kernel to LB1 and got CWM ver 5. scrolling long lists have become very smooth. almost perfect i would say..

also, i had issue connecting phone to pc for flashing kernel. when i enabled usb debugging, phone was not detected. even kies not connected. i removed sd card and disabled usb debugging. then kies got connected. after that i unplugged cable, enabled usb debugging again. it got connected immediately. took just one minute. very smooth process :)

Thanks DR i finally able to flash it using mobile odin, thanks a lot for your help seriously, sorry for being ignorant and now i learn a few things.. was just wondering since you always flash stock rom did you try to flash other kernel on to it to get better results?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Congrats!

I have once flash franco kernel(#6),though it is used by many ppls and having nice review too, but i dont know, it was draining battery 3 times more thn CF root kernel on my note, then i never tried anything else.

No marked change but sure lag free, more responsive.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mscion:
I was just wondering why the later ROMS are not directly rootable. Is the reason as simple as there was no major effort to do this since you can always root starting from earlier ROM? Is there any idea if ICS will be directly rootable?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] milsabords:
After flashing a new ROM it is often critical to do a battery calibration.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
@mscion

It is not likw that, but watever method exploits using to root note, samsung have patched up. May be some new method will come. It is not possible to say regarding ics, before it get release officially. At present i can say it wud b easy, as flaah counter reset application alrteady made. But no one guaranty samsung won't patch it up too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I never did it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] milsabords:
I experienced instability twice after burning stock ROMs. Wiping battery stats, and/or using a battery calibration utility available on Market fixed the problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mundano:
That is just an urban myth.. Battery calibration programs do nothing useful, they just wipe the battery stats that you can see in Android settings. Since those stats are wiped every time you unplug the charger I don't see the point in using such programs.

The only way to calibrate the battery is normal use, since it auto-calibrates itself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Best thing for battery is avoid frequent n partial charging.

Charge only when it gives you notice, n keep on charging till it get full.

This is idle way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anjath:
agreed. also it would be good to charge with phone switched off. maybe while going to bed. so no interference from sms or gprs/3g networks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] valtersboze:
Today, instead of big hopes for ICS, I received OTA update to LA6

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NLS:
Actually I disagree.

Li-Ion batteries don't like to get empty (or near empty) - unlike older NiCd which also have "memory" issues.

I'd say charge it as frequently as you can - but I agree, do not do partial charges if you can, always charge to top.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] coolfire:

Hello,

What about pit and re-partition if i would like use 3 files rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Even for 3 files ROM, you need not to select it.

re-partition means, Change partition size according to pit file you have selected.

You have not to use it, except your ROM have provided special instruction for this.

Here ROM mentioned on OP, you need not to select it.

Remember any wrong pit file selection can brick your note.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
If you flash XXLB1 with PC Odin, it will be non rootable, OR even it will erase root if you already have it.

And without Root, you can't get CWM.

Good to have a thread with all the necessary info.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NLS:
I know MY CSC, I ask how do we know the CSC of the stock ROM available for download - but my question was wrong anyway. :)

I meant how do we know the "PHONE" part version (not in my device, but in the file).

You see I am currently PDA:KKA, PHONE:KK5, CSC:KK5.

I want to update with root enabled to PDA:LA6, PHONE:LA4 and CSC:LA1.

In the list of ROMs I can find PDA (or kernel) LA and CSC LA1, but how do I know which of those is also LA4 version for PHONE?

Yes sorry, I meant PHONE version.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] molek25pll:
once again regarding repartition and pit. My mobile is from Poland with PLUS GSM brand rom

PDA: N7000XXKKA

PHONE: N7000XXKK5

CSC: N7000PLSK1

And now i would like to debrand it by install new stock rom but if i will get one file rom it will debrand my mobile? as on the Polish Android forum everynoe says i have to install 3 files rom with repartition and pit. What do u think if u know what i mean ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
List mentioned are as it is mentioned on samfirmware.com, PDA information is require to identify basic ROM version, which may not be country specific. But CSC is country specific, if CSC is DDLA1, DD is stand for India, so this is ROM for india. so if country information is not available, you can find it is for which country.

Now phone part is modem/baseband, which is i dont think you require to change isolated. best suited modem is available with your PDA

while Kernel you need to change is for Cf root purpose, otherwise no need to change.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
3 file or single file is depend on ROM version, not device specific.

Wrong pit file can brick your note, do it carefully.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] molek25pll:
so, even other say to me to do it with pit and repartitino, i can do it without it yes? sorru but just in case as i did first time wit all that staff and i bricked my phone

I told you on page 90, follow the guide in my sig. If you didn't manage to successfully follow that guide, you should get treated by a professional doctor. No offense, but that guide is idiot proof.

When lurking around on xda-devs, please learn how this community works: the right stuff belongs in the right thread(s). This is NOT the right stuff for THIS thread. This thread discusses stock ROMs and rooting, NOT graphical customisation. For that kind of stuff, visit the customisation and themeing subforum of the Galaxy Note section. If you do not follow this recommendation, you will eventually get hated and then banned as time progresses but your manners dont.

Correct. Its physically consuming them, the diode and anode inside the battery get chemically dissolved.

Incorrect. Theoretically its best to have the battery constantly charged to about 30-50%. While this is not feasible, at least replugging the device to "hold" a certain charge is better than to run flat and fill up again.

Sure there is a list for this. See here: http://www.samfirmware.com/samsunglettercode.htm

Oh crap, they took it offline. Where is the darn list gone? Aaaah... http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=1&t=1

Search your CSC and see the countries the CSC applies to, via the countries you'll find what languages are included. Also see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=800257

IF your branded model uses a different partition layout than the stock default models do, then yes, you need to use the .pit to change your "wrong" or your "off" partition layout to the default one. If however the only customisations were a couple cosmetic touches, logos and maybe a couple .apk then no, you don't need to use the .pit file. It that simple. Unfortunately I cannot answer you, if your branded device has got to be repartitioned or not, just go ahead and flash a stock ROM, if it works and you're unbranded, great, if not, just go into download mode again and repeat the whole procedure but this time with the .pit. Chances are quite low that you actually *really* brick your device. You might not get a booting android version at first, but that's easily curable as long as you have the download mode at hand...

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

hi man i have the jpkk2 room and its rooted and works fine for me and i went to check update on my phone and it told me that there's and update and its size is 73MB so i download it but i didnt install it so am asking if i install it do i lose my root and if i lost it will i be able to root it again directly by the fast method ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bdastoor:
You will certainly lose root doing an OTA update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] electrosphere:
how can i reroot it again??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bdastoor:
The way i generally update is ....Download the ROM of my choice (usually the latest), extract it to get the .tar.md5 file, get the corresponding CF Root Kernel, place both in a folder called "firmware" on the SD card. Then use CWM and choose Flash Firmware option. I select the CF Root Kernel when it asks which kernel i would like, then flash normally. Before doing this i do an entire firmware back up using CWM just in case i want to go back to what i had before.Never do an OTA or Kies update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] electrosphere:
u mean the fast old way of simple root wont work after this update!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anjath:
you can root the latest firmware bro. but only if you are already rooted and you are upgrading using CWM or mobile odin pro. it depends on the version you're trying to root. just download the ROM you need from first page and follow instructions. i repeat you can't DIRECTLY root all ROMs (this list also available in the first page). i recommend not doing the OTA if you want root.

One last question.. if i upgrade my ROM to KL8.. will my mobile get wiped clean (i.e apps will be erased).. i dont want my apps to be erased.. is there a way to upgarde without a clean wipe...

Is it same for KL7. will this upgarde also wipe the phone clean ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Wat i have idea is

KL7 - Non wipe version ( I have updated n not wiped anything, so this is confirmed)

KL8 is wipe version ( I have not confirmed myself)- that will wipe off your setting + Application

There is no method available for Wipe version to keep it.

Yes you can use titanium backup to backup all application, but keep in mind when you change ROM, after it just Restore 'User application with Data' not system app(red coloured in titanium backup), otherwise it may add old junks to new ROM.

I hope you must be knowing, KL7/8 are non rootable version, If you want to Root it, You have to update it by using 'Mobile Odin Pro', otherwise after update you won't get it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] captainhakan:
Ketan first of all thanks for all your efforts to help me root my Note. This topic is organised perfectly as well. But the Rom for my country Turkey is missing somehow. And i cannot find it anywhere else onthe internet no matter how hard i tried. Can u please provide the stock rom just in case i may need to revert back before sending the device to service? Details are as below :

Radio : N7000XXKK5

Kernel : 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKK9-CL725676 se.infra@SEP-53 #2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Ok just pm me your rom detail as above to remind me tomorrow, will try once with pc tool.

In case you dont get it, still you hav option to rwvert to any stock ROM, that will keep warranty intact.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] schaggo:
Ticking the option to inject root in MobileODIN will inject root, yes. As for KL7 or KL8, it's like a week difference or not even between builds, they are most likely almost identical. I for myself couldn't give a preference, I don't even remember how KL7 felt like, it's too long since I flashed it :p

Not most likely but definitely, the Kernel will get overwritten. Two options: flash the full KL7/8 suite, lose the (custom) Kernel you have and flash a custom Kernel afterwards. Or before hitting "Flash Firmware" select a custom Kernel you already have on your device in the "Kernel" section, this will flash the custom Kernel along with KL7/8. There's 3 main options at this time for custom Kernels: CF-Root, AbyssNote, FM. (Side note, in case interested: I personally use FM, use whatever you like.)

See above. They must be very, very, very similar since one build is almost the same age as the other one. They differ only by a couple days.

I don't remember either if KL7 was wiping or not. KL8 definitely wiped my phone, I flashed it with CWM though, not with MobileODIN (because of the CSC troubles I had with MobileODIN). When flashing with MobileODIN it might not wipe. I don't know, really.

Or, as I did, since I was on the very similar KL7 before I went to KL8: I did a nandroid backup of my KL7 ROM, updated to KL8, got the device wiped and restored the KL7-data-partition. This way I got the "old" junk back, but this far I didn't experience any troubles doing so. KL7 and KL8 seems to be compatible, as I have guessed before.

Isn't this a regular XXKK9 ROM which is floating around somewhere here in the forums? Restoring your device to it's current condition should be fairly easy with ODIN. Grab a XXKK9 ROM, grab a XXKK5 radio/modem, flash with ODIN. Done.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Georgi65:
