how can i wipe-flash with PC-Odin with for fresh installation (seems like to restore to manufacturer settings).

Hope i can root this ICS ROM after PC-ODIN flash without going back to GB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Wipe to be done with recovery, not pc odin. It is safe on GB rom only.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musheercmr:
thank you dr.ketan. let me proceed by PC-ODIN with INU GB (Latest) then ICS (N7000DDLPA). after that i will root as per your instruction.

thanks again.

Used CWM to go back to LC1, but ver shows old kernel?

Hi all, rooted my Note that came today with GB LC1 CPW by downgrading to KKA, (also CPW for UK).

However, having followed instructions to flash back up to the stock LC1 with CWM I find that the additional apps have been added, but kernel version is still KKA (2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566 root@DELL87 #2).

Root is still active but just want to check with you guys, have I missed something? I selected to keep CF Root Kernel as advised in the OP, so do I have the LC1 firmware now or not? Build number says "GINGERBREAD.XXLC1"

Have I missed something??

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
You have nothing did.wrong, as well it is wat it shud be after what you perfomed. It is not updated b'coz you have selected to keep root, thats why it remained kka.

Anyway, now look my another sticky thraed near to this 'how to root....' And download cf root kernwl by selecting 'i have kernel lc1'

Extract that and copy zimage file to sd card. Then flash kernel with mobile odin, by selecting that zimage.file. Then evwrything will be fine.

can u elaborate the step "- wipe cache, data"

is it same as going to settings -> privacy and doing factory reset (on GB)

anything else to be done?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I mean to say

After flashing to GB

go to recovery (vol up+Home+power) and wipe cache and wipe data.

Then install ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anjath:
so if i do the above i don't need to do factory reset?

No need to hard reset, this will do factory reset

Thanks Dr.

I was using LPY (Open Germany) Rooted with Kernel 5.6 (chainfire).

I flashed GB KL3 with PC Odin. After loading wiped Cash/Data....

Downloaded the new files CMW kept it on SD card... and SuperSU-Busybox-Installer.zip kept it on SD internal....(Because after CMW extract it does not open SD external..)

Again flashed ICS LPA with PC Odin..... set it according to its menu .... email ac....

Booted back by (Vol up, Menu, Power) chose update from external drive selected CMW... CMW installed with touch buttons then from CMW chose the SuperSu and installed it.

Phone after reboot is rooted full, loaded the TB and restored all Data & Applications as needed....

I wish to thank you and Chainfire again for getting so easy and perfect way to root on new ICS...

or after flashing ICS, how to restore CSC without triggering the bug because of wiping?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
It will only do a wipe if you change csc, so if you flash same region it won't perform a wipe (unless its a full wipe rom).

Hello again dr.ketan. :)

I have another small yet humble request. Is it possible for you to acquire the Gingerbread stock ROM matching the following details?

PDA : N7000XXKKA

PHONE : N7000XXKK5

CSC : N7000XEUKK3

Build Info : Fri Nov 11 14:46:53 KST 2011

:confused:

There is a N7000XXKKA Gingerbread stock ROM but the CSC is marked N7000CPWKK3, which binds it to Carphone Warehouse (provider specific).

I suppose there is a difference between XEU and CPW, right?

:confused:

Awaiting your expertise as always.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ushh:
yes, that´s the point. I would have to flash an ICS rom that is not in my region, so it will flash the wrong CSC.

Once I have ICS, how could I flash the correct CSC for my region without triggering the wipe/bug.

A gingerbread CSC can be flashed to an ICS Rom right?

Further down Post #2 it states “Install newer firmware” KL7/KL8/LA1/LA3

How do I know which version to use.

(I am current on Lite’ningRom v2.0)

Also

The ICS rom that looks like the right one from the list is below (I am from Ireland), so if correct this is the stock rom that I need.

Use mobile odin, select open file point to rim file, when all tab auto fill, manually uncheck cache. Then it won't flash csc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Gingerbread kernel.won't work. But some custom kernel have removed emmc erase cap command which trigger brick. Like franko, dafuq, latest cf and cm9(asaik). These are safer but nobody will claim 100 % safe.

And as a doubt a GB CSC is compatible with ICS?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
You can flash that too, nothing to worry if you flash different CSC.

If you are rooted then use Mobile odin, after 'opening file' all field will set automatically, here just clear 'cache' tab, So your CSC will remain unchanged.

CSC compatiblity GB-ICS

If I flash an ICS rom with mobile odin from GB and deselect cache, the current CSC should remain intact. My question is, that GB CSC is compatible with ICS?

Thank you

Edit: since I did not receive or maybe did not understand the answer to my post, this can help clarify somebody else's doubt.

I found in post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645202

the concrete answer to my doubt, ICS and GB CSC's are compatible.

"ICS modems can be used with GingerBread ROM's and vice versa.

At least i never have problems with it before."

Hope this helps someone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anjath:
two questions:

1. A phone on rooted DDLB2 ROM if flash DDLC1 ROM using PC Odin, will I get un rooted stock ROM? Will it cause wipe?

2. If phone is on LPA ICS (rooted or unrooted) and I flash DDLC1 GB using PC Odin, will I get un rooted stock ROM? Also will it do wipe?

Basically will the above two process make the phone ready for warranty purpose?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rp4k:
All flashing done with pc odin will cause unrooting but that is why after your first initial boot you then use pc odin again and flash speedmod kernel to get back CWM and root
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rp4k:
You need to use the reset binary counter flash with pc odin for your warranty
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
1.Flashing with PC odin, removes Root.

2. As above said, yes you will get unrooted.

Now regarding wipe, Wipe or non wipe depends on the the which ROM you are flashing. If you flash Non wipe ROM, it won't wipe (irrespective of method you are using to flash), And it will wipe all data if you flash wipe ROM (irrespective of method of flashing)

If your flash counter is 0 then it is ready for warranty claim. But if your counter is 1 or more (if you have flashed any custom thing with PC odin) then only you need to reset flash counter

You can read your flash counter on Lt upper corner, during Download Mode.

You can flash kernel with PC odin/Mobile odin, but may be you will lose root. In that case you have to root it with CWM.zip method (find it on my thread 'How to root..')

For srilanka ROM kernel, you can put request, if someone post here, otherwise you can get it from that ROM too.
