Thanks for that. "Mrcismir"

I dont want to do down the ICS path as yet. Seems to be too many warning posts Post At the moment. Just want a working stock rom that is rooted.

My phone is Australian but came generically unlocked out of the box.

Not quiet sure what you mean by setting phone up for region "Europe". There appears to be no option for that in the Settings area on the phone.

At least no option for region in my current stock ROM.

Will give your suggestion a go.

Dr Ketan..can u upload LP9 stock kernel for me..i loss wifi after flashing cf kernel LP9..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcasmir:
Since you don't want ICS you can Flash LC1 or LC2 from any region, the only downside is if you flash any other ROM that isn't XSA (i.e Australia) you will not get update notifications on the phone ans secondly Kies PC will tell you that your phone is not supported.

To change your CSC (i.e region code) input this in your dialer *#272*Device IMEI# (Device IMEI is just your Phone Serial Number) You can get that by typing *#06# in your Dialer, the number will popup, just copy it down and use it to change the CSC.

Once you input this code, a menu will popup displaying your current CSC which I believe would be XSA and then a couple of others that you can choose from---->choosing is only possible if your initial ROM was multi CSC, if not you will have to get CSC files and copy them to /system/CSC using root explorer or any other root browsing App. But to do this you will have root or instead you can flash it using ODIN.

Note that changing your CSC will wipe all data in your phone, so exercise caution while doing it or simply do a backup prior.

If this is too much for you, just flash the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar that you have already then use Mobile ODIN to flash any new ROM of your choice making sure you select EVER ROOT, INJECT SUPERUSER & INJECT MOBILE ODIN. This will preserve your ROOT after flashing your new ROM. This can only be done with Mobile Odin Pro not the free version. Specifically I would advice you flash LC2 ROM, that was what I used for 3 months before the advent of ICS and it is so much smooth and the best part is that the battery life is x2 what the pre-loaded ROM @ purchase was.

One last thing, since you will be flashing a ROM from another region than Australia, you will have to keep an eye here for future updates because you phone will not prompt you if there is one and Kies PC won't do that either. That is not a problem because you will not update via that anyway because if you do, you will loose your ROOT again and have to start all these processes all over. Just don't freak out if Kies PC tells you that your current ROM is not supported because it happened to me and I freaked out before I figured out it has to do with sales region and ROM region.

Let me know if you run into any issues.

LC1 Open Germany & LC2 Singapore or Malaysia
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Muskie:
I've just flashed SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS to my Note to Root it.

The flash was successful, however the phone does not reboot twice, as was stated in the instructions.

I waited a while, but no second reboot.

Upon using the device, none of the hardware buttons work (vol, home, power), and the phone hard crashes after a few minutes.

I've rebooted the device about three times so far, and also reflashed the ROM again, no change. Can I get a little help here?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ozmale:
This is exactly the same problem I had. read post 2950, that is the solution I will be following.

In the short term you can just reflash with the Australian stock Rom

Can I give 10 points to you please.

I realise you have taken time to give a long answer but these are the great things i have found out from you post that was nowhere else.

The code XSA in the ROM means Australia and DBT means Germany

Are the LC1 and LC2 Roms you have provided links to already Rooted ?

Your detailed explanation is understood really well.

I will not be too concerned about future updates unless they give significant improvements.

Again thanks heaps

will get back with results.

So I'm a little confused here.

I'm on stock GB LC1/2, rooted w/CWM.

I'd like to update to ICS but I don't want to wipe data, and don't want anything to go bad (i.e brick).

So is the best choice to wait to update? Is this hard bricking issue with cf-root still possible with the latest ICS (Philippines?)?

I like to mod the icons (i.e. battery) so need CWM to flash mods from UoT Kitchen - but I can't have CWM without cf-root kernel - but Dr. Ketan recommends not using that kernel in the update to ICS guide...

Could anybody provide a little clarification? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Muskie:
Thanks for that. Give me a heads up via PM if you manage to get one of the other ROMs going.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sameer_tangri:
Regd the phone being slower-

For the Overall Smoothness- Go to the Settings->Developer Options (under System category). Once inside "Developer Options", under the "User Interface" category, you will see two settings, "Window animation scale" and "Transition animation scale". These 2 options are set to "1.5x" by default.

Reduce this value or turn it off altogether. Once the time for Animations is reduced or turned-off altogether, you will see faster response times from the phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcasmir:
Bryce, in as much as you flash NON-WIPE version you will be fine, even the WIPE versions as much as you don't flash the CSC file, your data will not be wiped.

There is no issue with stock ICS as much as you are coming from stock ROM and secondly if you follow all the instructions you will smile at the end.

Here are the options you have, get the NON-WIPE version of ICS-->I will be going for OPEN GERMANY unless you have your region ICS is out already. Now if you have root in your current Stock ROM, then flash with MOBILE ODIN and be sure to tick EVER ROOT, SUPERUSER INJECTION & MOBILE ODIN INJECTION (Mobile Odin Pro only), if not, flash with PC ODIN selecting only the PDA file and ticking only Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time. After the flash, follow the instructions on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26548168#post26548168 and ROOT your new ICS ROM.

If you find this helpful just click the thanks button. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Any GB ROM that starts with L cannot be rooted directly, its either you install it from a rooted ROM using Mobile Odin or you flash it and then flash Rooted kernel and use triangle away to remove the warning icon. But I won't do the later. To save you all the trouble, backup all your data, download the first ROM on this thread, it should be KJ1, flash and root then use Mobile ODIN to install any other ROM. But if you still want to try out the FACTORYFS... go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18981227&postcount=4 download the mediafire links, its 3 parts then join with 7z for windows and then flash. Maybe your download is corrupt or there was an error in the extraction.

If this helps you, just hit the thanks button for me. Let me know if you have any issues.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bryce2010:
Wouldn't it be better to use the latest one from the list like the Philippines one is that not the most recent? Is that a non-wipe?

Also, has the 'black crush/clipping' issue been resolved or improved with ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcasmir:
Here KJ1--Poland. But you can use any K ROM (KKA, KJ4, KJ6, KK3, KK1, KK9, but avoid KL bcos most of them aren't directly rootable).

sdcard not mounted

Hi, I managed to flash via Odin PC for Singapore ROM but my sd card is not detected. When booting to recovery, it says unable to mount /sdcard.

Reverted to stock GB ROM and card is able to detect and mount.

Have tried Taiwan ROM but same problem. Please advice.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcasmir:
Bryce, I understood from your initial comment that you are scared of ICS and don't want it yet and would prefer the latest GB ROM which made me suggest LC1 or LC2 bcos they are the latest GB ROM b4 ICS. Now if you want ICS go for any, they are all 4.0.3 no major difference except different Apps for different regions but basically the Android system in all is thesame.

The changes you see in the naming of the ROMs has to do with the year, month, week, day and region of the ROM. However IMO I prefer using open ROMs that is not from any career not that there is something wrong just that most have Apps that I wouldn't want in my phone which will impact on my battery. Again, I like to compare regions, that is the one that is similar to my region in terms of Network frequency 2100, 900 because that will determine how friendly the ROM is with your mobile network which all impacts on your battery life. To be practical, like Vodafone will release a ROM optimised specifically for their 900 & 2100 networks, this doesn't mean it will not work with other frequencies but it all boils down to battery life. Believe me some ROMs will heat up your phone in some areas, draining your precious juice, am sure you don't want that.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcasmir:
razorpixel, extract the LP9 ROM with 7z windows program, open the folder and you will see the stock zImage. I believe you have a copy of the ROM. Just flash with Mobile Odin or PC Odin or push with ADB while in recovery with this code

adb push C:\location\of\your\zImage /data/local/zImage

adb shell

su

dd if=/data/local/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=4096

rm /data/local/zImage

reboot

But you must have supersu/user in order to use this.

For improvement in battery life use JuiceDefender from Play market guys.

It gives u an amazing amnt of control over Data sync schedules, wifi, bluetooth, etc. It even allows u to configure the phone to automatically switch on Data connection on launching pre-configured apps like Browser, youtube, etc.

It really improves battery life....I am saying this from personal experience.

Hello guys,

I am currently on DDLP8. Stock ics and rooted as per dr.ketans guide. But from what I understand I cannot/should not try and flash a custom rom say cm9 because I should not wipe my phone because of the emmc bug. Right? Now what if I really wanna install cm9 on my phone? How do I go back to GB? Root from there and then install cm9? I tried searching a lot and there are so many people advocating different ways! Will appreciate any help I can get on my question: How do I go back to a GB rom and install cm9 from there?

Waiting for a reply!

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcasmir:
LOL, you make ICS sound like a one way road with no return route.

Wiping from stock recovery does no harm to your phone. I have a work around for you. I did this myself with imilla tablet mode ROM. I had ICS LPY, when into stock recovery, wiped my data then used ADB to push CWM enabled zImage. After this reboot again into recovery and flash your ROM with CWM. Am assuming the ROM is in zip format not tar. I did it and had no issues.

If you decide to go back to GB, if you flash it over ICS, you will get lots of errors. So the only option is to flash GB ROM wipe version, then you can do anything you want from there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] urapain2me:
Hehe! From what I have been reading around, it has all made me very scared to do anything to my phone. I had an i9000 before this. I had installed tons of roms. Went from miui to cm9 to darky to cm7 to ics to stock to abc to xyz! Lol.. What I mean is now because of this bug I am **** scared to even reboot into recovery!

Cool. So basically to be more clear I can PC Odin a stock rom over my ics and I should be fine right? You are saying I should be going with a wipe rom. Any rootable wipe rom on gb would do? And I can pick that from the first page of this post? I wont be using that. I will just use it to root and install cm9 and live peacefully ever after!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcasmir:
I feel what you are saying. You got me right, just flash wipe version of rootable GB rom and do any other thing you want to do from there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sameer_tangri:
Yes right. Best way to go to CM9 from ICS LP8 or any other ICS ROM is that, first flash pre-rooted GB ROM shared by dr.ketan using PC-Odin and after that install CM9.

You can follow dr.ketan's guide "How to root Galaxy Note" to get link to pre-rooted stock GB 2.3.6 ROM.

If not, then which rom do I need to flash to be able to back to stock GB that can be rooted?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joshua:
Yes... from ur current flash kj1 via pc odin

From there flash CM9 directly...tats hw i did mine...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcasmir:
Now you are talking, thought you were asking him to install Non-Wipe version because I know the pre-rooted ROM is non wipe, that is SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar which gives so many error when flashed over ICS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] urapain2me:
Ahmm guys, I tried downloading the KJ1 firmware and the link seems to be broken.

Can I flash the KJ4 firmware instead? Since thats also rootable with CFroot!

Yes, any K ROM will do exceplt some KL versions that are not rootable. Here is a link for KJ1 Poland

I'm having same issue too. Even from within filemgr, I can't see external sd. Tried with Singapore and Taiwan ROM. Also tried with ota, all method can't detect external storage from file mgr or recovery..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcasmir:
There are two possible causes for this, ICS have been known to have issues with some Sdcard and thats why when you revert back to GB it starts working. I had this issue with my HTC where my sd will not be mounted and some other time it mounts but will be slow when being read or written to to the extent that my phone will hang and I will pull battery. But when I use that card in GNote & Xoom, it works flawlessly.

Secondly, try to access the card from your computer to see if it has errors or if it is corrupted because some errors in the file structure will make android not mount the card but I know GB is good in fixing errors but I dont know about ICS. If possible, get the dos program Gparted and use it to fix the card.

Thirdly, it could be a hardware issue with your phone, to be sure see if it works fine in GB.

Finally CWM Kernel for ICS (the ones I have used) makes my memories to behave weird in recovery but works fine when booted. In recovery if I plug the phone to my PC to use ADB, I will get "usb device has malfunctioned' but when I push pack stock zImage, it will work fine. This issue makes my backups not to comeplete, it will backup boot and system and then the phone will reboot. Then for restore, it will restore boot and then reboot ob system restoration. So this made me to use GB CWM to backup & restore.

Other things you could try is, get a root exploring app, open your root folder and look for mnt, open it and see if you will see you sdcard there because some ROMS swap it for another name which the system might not recognise but I doubt if stock ROM will do that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mushi84:
Thanks for responding!

No problem with card as I am able to access sdcard via computer. Also formatted it using sdformatter from sdcard.org as recommended by some.

Shouldn't be hardware issue since card works fine if I revert back to GB stock ROM.

I am not able to root stock ICS via recovery as sdcard not able to detect/mount.

Btw, stock ICS is laggy in performance.. Not sure if it is related to this sdcard problem. Still on ICS and hoping for a fix.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bdastoor:
Use only PDA, phone and CSC. Tick only auto reboot and F Reset Time. Since you seem to be downgrading to KJ1 you may face boot loops. Just wipe cache (and if required a factory reset). You should be fine.
