Hi, I thanks to everyone to take the effort and putting this together.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
Hi, I have done the below procedure:

Procedure

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

Reboot to recovery.

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

Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.

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

Choose and Install SUPERSU-Busybox-Installer.zip

Reboot

You are done and now your device is Rooted

But after rebooting it shows that optimizing applications 1...123 to 123 then got stuck and repeat optimizing applications 1...123 to 123 then got stuck again, and same thing is happening again and again. Any solution?

That looks like you didnt wipe correctly. A proper wipe should fix that, but be careful where do you wipe (on ics mmc brick could happen)

If you are coming from GB, did you wipe before install ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mybabloo:
Install fresh 4.0.3 indian version via odin

Hello there doc,

appreciate ur patience and help.

I have 4.0.3 indian version installed which was updated OTA. I have also rooted this through ur temp CWM and superuser method. My concern is since u always preferred clean odin install over OTA. Can I just use odin and flash the same but clean 4.0.3 directly over it or ' back to GB process' will be safe ? :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Back to gb, wipe cache n data on gb, then flash ics with odin. That is safest as well will give u best performance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
That fellow is fearing losing picture on his sd card by wiping device, and trying to get copy of it.

All otherwise he just requires flashing gb rom with wipe. And that is not supposed to delete his data on sd card.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] will5:
lmao, didnt knew that was his problem :cowboy:

As long as samsung don´t introduce any new bug, pictures are safe :laugh:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mybabloo:
woww...that was fast Dr...do u ever sleep bro.? another of my concern pls before u do :silly:. I would also like to try CM9 before that , as I understand that procedure should be same as to go back to GB and clean wipe..etc ..then CM9, but would it raise the flash counter ? and would it be possible in case I would like to come back to the unrooted stock state of 4.0.3 ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
My phone was already on ICS by the service provider, I tried to root my phone because I was facing problem of repeatedly restarting of phone, or TW launcher error. I do not want to reset my phone because I have very very important around 600 pics on my internal memory.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrum:
(!) Never mind this post, I did not have SD card in the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] will5:
Wipe will not affect internal memory, I think ketan already told you that.

But, wiping from ics is dangerous.

So, no much options available. You could try just a cache and dalvik cache wipe, it should be safe, but could not solve your problem.

@Astrum. Im running LRK rooted with no problems. Can see external sd and install apk´s from there. But, is bloated with german crappy soft, so Ill try another build.

Nobody using galaxy_s unlock with GB and now relocked? I need help with that :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrum:
@will5 did you wipe before installing LRK or not?

I have flashed GB (latest Indian), then wiped cache and data at this point I checked, tha external_sd was accessible from default File Manger.

Then I updated with Odin 1.85 to LRK and access to external_sd gone.

I have done it two times already every time access on GB worked well, but disappeared on LRK.

Will try one more time now just in case.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
Are you 200% sure that Wipe will not affect internal memory, Because it shows msg that this will delete all user data from internal memory.

I have done partition cache and dalvik cache wipe already. What rom should I install and from where?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ushh:
yes, actually I saw that at the beginning and that was the reason of my proposition.

When I started flashing roms I would follow all your posts and I think I have read the 370+ pages of posts to clear my doubts. So it's great for someone new to find everything in the same place, as you have it here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] will5:
@ghori303, it will delete all on /data. Your pictures are on /sdcard (internal). Period.

I´d installled GB (an australian LA6 one) with odin. Wiped cache and data. Installed LRK with odin. Booted fine, restarted on recovery, select cwm.zip, then cwm opens, selected busybox.zip from external, reboot, all done.

BTW, I´d downgrade to LRI, and I notice only samsung keyboard and swype are available. LRK keyboard looked better, Im not sure if was samsung kb or android kb. Can you check what KB options are on LRK? I think Ill go back to LRK.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ushh:
just don't wipe in ICS be sure to do it in a Gingerbread rom!

That is the rule of gold!

If you wipe/restore factory settings you WILL erase all your user DATA, be sure to backup everything first with titanium backup.

Every wipe/reset/cache is safe from the emmc bug in Gingerbread rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
@will5 I am having ICS, it means Factory reset will delete all user data even my pics ...........

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 AM ----------

Thanks Man, you saved my pics. Now give me the solution as well. Here I want to clear you that my PC is not recognizing my phone as well. So how to use titanium backup?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nfribeiro:
How do we know if a GB or ICS rom is wipe or not? Is there any list of it somewere?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ryandigweed:
If you Wipe any ICS rom on the Galaxy Note, you will brick it.

You can wipe on GB and nothing bad will happen to your phone. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ushh:
Titanium backup does not need the pc to backup, you can specify the titanium backup directory to be in your external SD CARD

Well since you are in ICS DO NOT WIPE/ERASE ANYTHING because there is a big chance you will brick your phone.

Have you checked you don't have enabled debug mode? and maybe that's why your pc does not recognize your phone?

if your pics are in the internal memory, and you are in ICS, and can not use your pc to connect an move them to your external memory card....

maybe you should copy them in small chunks (10 photos at a time) to the external SD. As far as I know, the dangerous thing in ICS is to delete/copy/move big files, your photos of 4 mb should not be dangerous.

IF YOU ASK ME WHAT WOULD I DO?

I would follow Dr Keta's advise of flashing a Gingerbread NO WIPE rom but you tell me your computer does not recognize your phone in ODIN? do you have the drivers from Dr. Ketans signature installed?

Well if the answers are yes what I would do with your problem is. Get mobile odin, flash SPEEDMOD Kernel (it has disabled the emmc bug) and copy your photos/data from the internal memory to the external.

For flashing a GB rom you will need to troubleshoot why your pc wont recognize your phone. Uninstall kies and the drivers, then get the drivers from dr ketans signature, reinstall. Be sure to disable debug mode when you connect your phone to the pc so that the drivers are installed, then disconnect and enable debug mode so it completes the driver install.

If not, maybe you should try to do it on another computer so you can flash with pc odin a Gingerbread Rom.

Then, my last option would be trying to install the rom with mobile Odin, but I really think you should try to do it with pc odin.

Your choice, your phone, your responsability, I can only suggest.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
Thank you for the answer in detail. Appreciate........
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Astrum:
Update:

Never mind this post, I did not have SD card in the phone. It confused me because GB shown external_sd directory and allowed to write on it without actually having sd card in the phone. Which was not the case in ICS. So that explains it all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xpomar:
please what about ?N7000XXLRK or any 4.0.4 stock rom :) and goood very good work :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ushh:
Your welcome
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] will5:
That´s weird, have you tried LRI? Are you sure that on LRI external sd works for you? Maybe another card?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ara_ffat:
Updated mine from lq2 to lrk.

Rooted using CWM plus SuperSu method.

No issue so far:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] will5:
I think I´ll stay on LRI, works fine so far. None of the 4.0.4 roms have the android keyboard? Only samsung kb? :confused:

Wipe/factory reset on ICS ROMs

I have been a victim of the "emmc brick bug" when I first installed the first (Chinese leaked) LPY 4.0 ROM, and while trying to go to Criskelo Custom ROM from there, used the 'CWM Recovery' to do my 'Wipe/Factory Reset'.

I had to get my Note's MotherBoard replaced from Samsung Service Center.

There are a lot of comments w.r.t. "not wiping at all while on ICS".

Being a victim of this, I have a few thoughts here as I have spent a lot of time reading threads and trying to understand how to avoid this.

Will share my views here-

1. As long as you have not rooted your Note, Wiping/Factory Reset through 'Stock Android Recovery Mode' or via the 'Settings' menu, while being on "Official Stock ICS 4.0 ROM" will NOT BRICK your device. YOU WILL BE SAFE.

I have seen confirmations from one of the members (from India) in another XDA N7000 forum who has done this and it's safe. I can't recollect which thread it was....sorry.

2. DEVICE WILL BE BRICKED if you do a 'Wipe/Factory Reset' through the 'CWM Recovery' mode while on the Leaked ICS 4.0 LPY ROM.

I have personally faced this. LPY is a BAD KERNEL. STAY AWAY FROM IT.

3. I am NOT SURE if the Device will be bricked or not when doing a 'Wipe/Factory Reset' through the 'CWM Recovery' mode while on an ICS ROM OTHER THAN the LPY...this is TOO DANGEROUS TO TRY...hence no one (including me) wants to take the chance.

LET'S ASSUME THAT THIS WILL ALSO BRICK YOUR DEVICE AND NOT TRY THIS EVER. BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.

4. If you are on ICS, and want to do any activity that involves a 'Wipe/Factory Reset' through any of the 'Non-Stock Recovery Modes' (eg. CWM), then first you need to install a safe kernel like AbyssNote Kernel and then reboot into the AbyssNote Kernel based recovery and then do the wipes.

Pls see this Link - "How to Avoid the EMMC Brick and Install/Restore ROMs on Galaxy Note GT-N7000!"

http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...-installrestore-roms-on-galaxy-note-gt-n7000/

View-1

Yet..keeping in mind the "BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY" principle, if you also see Ash's "aphroditelikesme" channel on youtube, in all his video-tutorials of 'Flashing Custom ROMS' and doing 'Wipe/Factory Reset', he starts off on a GB ROM.

View-2

On the other hand Max from "www.rootgalaxynote.com" does all his 'Flashing Custom ROMS' and 'Wipe/Factory Reset' thorugh AbyssNoteKernel while on (non-LPY) ICS ROMs.

One thing that comes out definitely from above points is that DO NOT USE 'CWM BASED RECOVERY MODE' TO DO 'WIPE/FACTORY RESET' WHILE ON ANY ICS 4.0 ROM.

FIRST INSTALL 'AbyssNoteKernel', REBOOT INTO 'Abyss-BASED RECOVERY MODE' and THEN DO YOUR WIPES FROM 'Abyss-BASED RECOVERY MODE'.

These are my thoughts and understanding on this topic...just wanted to share...it's up to you to make an informed decision.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Thanx for sharing.

Well, I have already mentioned this on OP, and try to put as much information. but to keep main subject on centre, and not to confuse newbie with lots of extra information.

Hello everybody,

I tried cyanogenmod 9 for my Note but i change my mind and I flashed a stock rom LQ3 and now I have a big problem.

I put cwm.zip and "SU....zip" files and when I want to update from sdcard through Recovery mode i'm receiving a message with a red color:"E failed to mount /sdcard". This problem is from Recovery 3e, i know that but how can I solve the problem?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] markikswabe:
Just want to confirm if the procedure that I will do to go back to rooted stock ICS 4.0.4 (XXLRK) from custom rom (Alba V4 XXLRG).

1. Go to Recovery

2. Flash Jbroid then Abyss 4.2

3. Advanced > Reboot Recovery

4. 3 Wipes (Wipe Factory reset, cache partition, dalvik cache)

5. Format /system, /cache, /data (super clean install)

6. Flash Jbroid again

7. Hold Volume Down + Power + Home to go to download mode

8. Open PC Odin add the stock ICS PDA

9. Add/Replace CSC file in PC Odin with the CSC that I want (OLB from 4.0.3)

10. Flash via PC Odin.

11. Flash CWM and SuperSU - Busybox to root

Is this the correct way to go clean Stock ICS (rooted) and on the CSC that I want?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Are you sure you have put cwm.zip on ext SD card

and you have ICS recovery(selection is made with power button not home)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
This will cause wiping on ICS stock, that is dangerous

Best way to do this step after flashing GB ROM then update ICS with PC Odin without selection CSC separately
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] markikswabe:
Ok. So you mean that. First I will go back to GB rom (my default rom with the CSC that I need (OLB)) via PC Odin. Do the wiping/cleaning. Then, Flash the Stock ICS that I want (DBTLRK 4.0.4) without replacing the CSC via PC Odin. Then, I should still see OLB CSC when I try to change it via phone dialer. Then after that, I will install CWM + Supser SU - Busybox to root it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chrysstyann:
Yes, I'm sure!!

I have ICS LQ3 4.0.3, I"m moving through menu with Vol Up/Dw and select with power button (I know that) but when I chose "update from sdcard" it appears "/.." and down "E failed to mount /sdcard". I think that this is a protection measure from Recovery 3e.

If you search on google you will see that are some users with this problem but until now I didn't find the answer and I believe that here, someone, will help me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Temporary try managing another memory card, sometime it happens memory card can't read. And make sure you dont have another copy on int SD card and you executing that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Dont change on ICS, here is steps

-Flash GB ROM with desired CSC

-Check CSC with *#272*IMEI#

-if there is different CSC, select your desired from list(this will wipe data)

-Confirm now with above code

-Flash ICS with single PDA tab on odin

PS:Practically this thing is illogical, making your desired CSC on foreign ROM, wont give you option to update over Kies/OTA. if you want it for other purpose then it is ok.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] markikswabe:
Got it. Will try it out later. Thanks

The reason is our latest version in our country is only 4.0.3 at the moment. But, I want the latest one. So, I would like to flash XXLRK 4.0.4. But, if this version is the same as XXLR2 4.0.4 in asia then. I would just get the latest one from asia

the ROM was just released this month. is there a way you can update your OP links and also identify which of those recently released ROM are wipe and non-wipe?

also i haven't seen anyone post a de-odexed(zip aligned, and all the goodies etc) stock ROM. can you point me to the right thread if there is one.

thank you in advance. regards!

I have already mentioned month of release, usually posted latest ROM at last (for ICS ROms)

If you have read i have wrote at begining 'All listed ROMs are Non Wipe' As there wipe ROM carrying risk of bricking note, so i have removed from list.
