[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
yes,Flash using PC odin is safe. Though bootloop can occurs wheb you move from custom to stock or vise versa. But on GB, you can safely wipe cache and data in that case.

Wiping is optional, who wants clean installation(usually who have their backup) If you want to keep your data intact, you hav to flash directly.

If ROM which you are installing is non wipe version then all your data will be preserved. ( I think only 1-2 ICS ROMs are wipe, rest all are non wipe)

Wiping on stock ICS is not advisable.

on my device which is Italian.....or i still have to wait..

You can use any ROM, later you can update to italy ROM when it release.

so i can flash from my rooted GB rom (not italian) to any ics rom using pc odin without any problems..... if that is the case this weekend or maybe tonight will be flashing...

Flashed the N7000JPLPD_N7000OJPLP7_XSG 2.3.6 successfully from PC odin (previously paranoidandroid 0.2). Now stuck @ boot loop. have tried pulling the battery & restarting but of no use. Should i reflash the 2.3.6 one or should go to a previous version of 2.3.6.

Flashed back to previous 2.3.6 N7000JPKK2 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OJPKK2 -------------------United Arab Emirates

Thank you very much dr.ketan. :)

Using CWM to backup my existing ROM will create a

rooted

copy of my current stock ROM.

Thus, it confirms I cannot make an

unrooted

backup copy of my current (pre-installed) stock ROM for the sake of personal satisfaction!

:o

But, I suppose it will not create warranty related hassles considering my current (pre-installed) stock ROM is KKA whereas the new stock ROM is LA6, right?

Samsung technicians will not be able to decpiher and or prove the above, right?

Please help me out, I wanna flash ICS!

Hi! I would like to flash an ICS rom (I really want to flash RocketROM v6, and but they recommend flashing an ICS stock-rom first...) I have installed Mobile Odin PRO, men and my question is: Can I use that program to install the LQ3 firmware, and root it at the same time, or do I have to reboot into recovery, install CWM.zip, reboot recovery and install the SU-BusyBox-installer to be fully rooted, and then install RocketROM v6?

I wish it would be easier to root my Note...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeffs99:
By how you describe it, it seems that that you're on a stock GBRom.

I just finished installing Rocket RomV6 and previously I was on a rooted stock ICS.

I probably could have gone straight to the RRV6 but didn't want to takea chance with the flashing with ICS .

So I first went to a rooted version of GB then followed this:

thx for the great thread dr ketan , u r very helpful..

i have a couple of questions :

1-can i do all this using mobile odin ?? to get rid of the " null null " ??

2-since i have speedmod kernel (with removed emmc erase) , by doing the above , will i still be under the emmc brick risk ???

thx mate
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
you can flash csc with mobile odin too. flashing only csc won't remive existing speedmod kernel, so your kernel will remain as it is emmc free.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Goodm7sn:
Correct me if I'm wrong please, to flash csc via mobile Odin, i tap "cache" in the app and choose the same single file firmware (lq3) then I tap on "flash firmware"??

It will be a full data wipe afterwards but kernel remains the same(speedmod) , so no emmc brick fear.

In the pass I've followed your guide and now I have GB with root in two Galaxy Notes (using mobile ODIN). If I want to flash ICS and use the CF-root 5.6 that apparently is safe, should I install ICS rom using PC ODIN or can I use again mobile ODIN with pre-root and wipes options selected (Chainfire said that this wipe are safe).

And is this CF-root 5.6 really safe or should I keep my GB rom?

Please help! I'm so confused and afraid from hard breaking my phone...

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

What i find best safest method for you is.

-Backup user app + Data on your GB ROM with Titanium or other similiar

-Wipe cache N Data (safe on GB, still i recommend to avoid wipe on ICS)

-Flash ICS with PC Odin

-Root ICS and get Cf Root kernel from here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26455511&postcount=2475

-Restore data of user application (avoid system junk of GB ROM)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nfribeiro:
Thank you. So in your opinion Mobile ODIN is not safe? I thought because of what Chainfire said http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27500615&postcount=1460

And when If someone wants to change ICS rom, we shoud go back again to GB without wyping until we get there and start over again?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Turist:
i have read it and ended with a question if those steps are necessary (when already on rooted CF kernel GB)

-Flash ICS with PC Odin

-Root ICS

or ICS can be flashed with CF as previous GB were while preserving root.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Mobile odin is safe.

You are on GB, so there is no risk to brick while wiping

If you want clean installation then go for flashing with PC odin.

If you want to change ICS, you can flash new ICS with Mobile odin too. But i dont advise wiping on ICS. If wiping required then better revert back to GB, then update ICS.

Clean installation is better when there is major update like GB to ICS.

As above

Dr. Ketan: I want to install ICS-LQ3 over my stock GB already rooted. I assume step 1a. is the procedure is to start from stock GB which I have. So am I ok to assume I don't need this step, right?

Now, step 1b. is to install ICS. In my case I want LQ3 and I also want to install CF-Root-SGN_XX_SEB_LQ3-v5.6-CWM5.zip. May I use Mobile ODIN to flash N7000XXLQ3_N7000OXXLP7_SEB and CF-Root-SGN_XX_SEB_LQ3-v5.6-CWM5.zip at the same time with all Wipe and EverRoot enabled?

or

The long procedure using PC-ODIN

1. Download ICS ROM, and extract it to .tar file

2. Download Odin, open it

3. select PDA tab and point to ROM file. Leave Re-partition, pit, CSC, Phone tab unticked (see Image below)

4. Switch off device, Put in download mode (Vol down + Home + Power)

- completely close kies, Anti virus if running

5. Connect device to PC and hit Start

Then Root:

6. Download the [CWM zip] and put in your Ext SDCARD ] And [ SUPERSU-Busybox-Installer.zip] to SD card (internal memory)

7. Reboot to recovery.

8. Choose apply update from external storage. (use vol up/down to select, power to enter)

9. Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.

10. Choose install zip from sdcard (Now use touch function to select choice)

11. Choose and Install SUPERSU-Busybox-Installer.zip

12. Reboot (You are done and now your device is Rooted)

and then CF-Root

13. Install CF-Root-SGN_XX_SEB_LQ3-v5.6-CWM5.zip using Mobile ODIN.

I think many of us are confused to know the difference between these two procedures. If something goes wrong, the we should start with a clean install again from GB Stock of your step 1a. right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
You need to flash CSC to remove null null error, remember you will lose data.

Once you flash ICS of UAE with PC odin, it will remove previous trace of franch.

You can do like this

1.Backup user data with titanium, and Hard reset (safe as u r on GB)

2.Flash LQ3 and root using guide i have linked with ICS ROM

3.Restore user data with titanium(only user app, not sys junk)

OR

1.Backup user data with titanium, Hard reset

2.Still you will have Root, install mobile odin

3.Flash ICS using Mobile Odin

4.Restore user data with titanium.

What i suggest go clean while switching from GB to ICS. whether with PC odin/Mobile odin.

sorry to bother you

I know u guys are doing your best to help us and give us new stuff, but i hate when people upload files to the hotfile. Isnt there any other file sharing server on the internet. torrents are 1000 times better than these direct download. Sorry to say but i am downloading as much data as i can and trying to convert it to torrent, i know this will draw ur site traffic to other servers. But this problem needs to be adressed. The hotfile people think that disconnecting us from the server at a point of 95% download will make us buy their lame subscription.

Sorry for being rude. But its like more than 25 times, i am having this problem, i am lossing all my bandwidth.

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

i can understand.your pain, but as far op is concerned, it is beyond my capacity to download each n every country rom n update it to other server, as everyday there is new rom appears. even it is not easy to keep list.up to date, and if i remember not a single mistake happen in link, which have more than 100 now.

another thing, there are lot file hosting site available which pay you according download, i am not even interested in that too, again i am making clear here, i am updating rom link as it is on sammobile. yes someone upload rom and provide me link, sure i will add mirror link. but atleast i have no such time for that, i am utilizing my max time to discuss here rather than wasting time for that.

and, there is already 'check fus' is available who are getting problem with hotfile. as well there is another separate thread in stickies there for.torrent download.

I think you are in the same situation that I am and Dr. Ketan kindly answer me in the post 3138 and in the next posts. You wipe in GB and then you can install ICS and CF-Root in the same step with mobile ODIN. Since you wipe in GB, it is not needed (probably not even safe) in ICS.
