@Mahmood

Please don't encourage people to flash anything in the leaked kernel, you never know when your luck runs out, and I don't think you'll take responsibility of any bricking happens by following your method..

The only way to flash from leaked kernel is PC Odin to Gingerbread. Period..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mahmood:
??? i have clearly said that flash back to gingerbread rom !!!! in big red letters
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] matius44:
No, official CM9 is the only ICS ROM that's not affected as it uses a safe tested kernel and not from the Chinese dangerous leaks..

matbe anotrher daft question what gapps are ment to install with the gapps zip as im not sure if it installed or not:o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aleeeeeeeeex:
Stupid noob question

Warranty is voided with no options ? I mean, if I flash back go 2.3.6 with the right CSC code and Kies is working just fine, the Samsung people will know I flashed this?

If I already flashed in the past the ICS repack by Chainfire or Custom Roms, using Mobile Odin of course so the counter is still 0, is my warranty already voided so I can flash this without thinking twice ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] copperdawgnc:
Are you sure, I thought entropy kernel.tar from pc Odin was also safe
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Karlmadur:

Don't even encourage them to flash any other recover through the leaked dangerous kernel!!

Safest bet should be odin back to gb!!

Installing ANYTHING using the recovery from the leaks kernel is dangerous, including Abyss Note kernel..

Face unlock, gallery, talk, play store, voice search etc :)

Yes that's also safe, what I meant is using PC Odin only..

READ FAQs: http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.p...sked_Questions

- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery

- DON'T flash FROM i9220 LEAKED REPACK!

- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your internal SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM9 zip

- Flash GApps zip

- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your calendar sync will not work)

- Reboot

- Don't restore Apps using Titanium Backup!

Is it okay to do a data wipe / factory reset AFTER flashing CM9 and GApps like said by the OP dev? Or should I do a data wipe / factory reset BEFORE flashing? Should I make a Nandroid of my current GB rom?

Hey guys, sorry for the noobness but How do I access the features of CM9? This is my first time in CM9. Usually every Rom has a section under settings like "Euphoria Control" etc. I am unable to find one such which can customize lockscreen/status bar/notifications panel etc. Is there one I am missing by any chance or is it just plain ICS for now?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] A31185:
Gapps

Gapps=Google apps

Some google apps cant be directly downloaded form the market. SO if you use a google account like for play store get Gapps. <i> It is not pre-installed in CM9 </i>

You do not have GB ROM installation in Step 2 but have it in the red text at end of post..GREAT post btw. For me, simply the GB kernel was enough (even Franco kernel but that is me). Even Abyss 3.9 worked. No need for full GB ROM (but again, do the ROM as that is what is recommended by OP and your post)

i have clearly said that in the red laters and also just updated the post to include it in steps that i followed. that i was on ICS leaked Rom and did exactly the steps above and installed CM9 why didn't i use the odin because of the triangle thing ! thats why steps above i did upgrade to CM9 after reading and reading and reading and following and reading every instruction of users what they did and how they flashed it and what the dangers are before flashing and came to conclusion that people brick there device when they flash straight from a ICS leaked rom because the ICS leaked ROM has a kernel which somehow doesn't like downgrading or using CM9 and therfore one must go to back to GB using abys 4.2 and then i installed a GB rom using abys kernel i am not encoraging people of what they should do i just wrote how i did it and how many other users did it thats all. if this gives a risk to brick then moderators can remove this post and all the posts that people say how they went back to GB using abyss kernel in this way we will have no confusion and no bricks.

I'm having a problem updating from build 3 to build 4 I cleared my cache and try to flash the build 4 zip in recovery it gets to installing updates and then it just reboots on it's own without bringing me back to the CWM recovery to install gapps. I have downloaded the update twice already i'll try again to see if it solves the issue. Anyone have any ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] copperdawgnc:
Does it boot into Cm9? Why do you need to reflash gapps?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] moltenbobcat:
It does boot into cm9, I am unsure if this is build 3 or 4 though, I looked under the about phone menu and there was no clear indication which build it was. I never see a installation completed menu, every time I have every flashed a rom before I have been taken back to the CWM menu then I have to flash gapps and then I select reboot. I was under the impression that you are supposed to reflash gapps after every update when flashing cyanogen.

There is anyone that brick the phone with the abyss kernel 4.2 procedure?

I think nobody had a brick with red pills kernel. I don't know... but only few day ago all used abyss kernel to restore a gingerbread ROM from leaked

I am not a dev.... Entropy I had a risk when used abyss from a leaked kernel to install this ROM? Important is no wipe with leaked kernel first to install abyss and reboot recovery.

I think some of the people here confused the Abyss' ICS Kernel (discontinued due to bricks) w/ the working Abyss' GB Kernel.

STILL nothing on automatic turn data on/off to send MMS as in MIUI ROM..

amazing no priority on this while MIUI has had this for over a year or longer (am talking of the CM developers not this ROM)..see all the messages (also many xda threads that ended in 4-5 responses each because no one had the answer)

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3241

If one has unlimited data and does not care about battery, then I understand why this would be low priority (or not doing mms much because of cost)..maybe the CM core guys have unlimited data...gg

If only someone could elevate this to the core CM developers

POSTED on Android Software Development (not device-specific)..do not hope this will get any traction (has not for so long anyway and no one has any answers..well my answer is I stick with MIUI and just look at CM now and then to fool around with..DONE !)

What does the instructions in OP say?!

If you are coming from leak kernel (which you are, and if you don't know you're in a hole bigger than you) DO NOT FLASH DIRECTLY!

Use Odin to flash Gingerbread and flash from there, plain and simple..unless you wanna end up with a brick..

Also some apps are not compatible ie go SMS pro

Maybe the op should put a big message that says

If you are coming from any other ics in the dev forums you must flash to gb first
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] matius44:
To my knowledge Mobile Odin is ok, but I suggest you be extra safe and use PC Odin to flash Gingerbread and root it from scratch (or flash prerooted GB and CF Root), from there you can flash CM9 safely..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hawklan_D:
Just so I'm clear (and hopefully others are too), the following is right...right?

Getting to CM9 without risk of hardbricking:

From any GB kernel - safe to flash via CWM.

From Entropy512's ICS kernel - safe to flash via CWM.

From any ICS LP1/LP5/LP6 leaked repack kernel - safe (and recommended) to use PC Odin to flash a GB rom then CM9 via CWM.

From any ICS LP1/LP5/LP6 leaked repack kernel - NOT safe to flash an abyss kernel first.

From any ICS LP1/LP5/LP6 leaked repack kernel - NOT safe to flash from mobile Odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Why don't you try reading the post that you linked?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Correct, although you only need to flash a GB kernel using Heimdall or Odin (Not Mobile Odin) - no need to flash a full GB firmware package.

LC1 - did you mean LP1? XXLC1 would be Gingerbread I believe.

When talking about ICS it is best to include the full firmware build code, since Samsung replaced the month code with "P" for all ICS releases, the region prefix becomes important.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] samarium:
I'm trying to get my head around the structure of boot and recovery partitions on the SGN, and a guess the other SG devices.

When I've been using other devices, passion/v9/crespo, boot and recovery were two distinct partitions.

My understanding is that each had a kernel and initramfs, and the recovery also had the recovery, ie CWM, code in the initramfs.

If the device was unbootable because of bad boot or system partition, then I could boot into recovery and reflash boot/system.

It seems that this is not the case with SGN

It seems like there is really only one partition that is used, boot?

Recovery, ie CWM, must be included in the initramfs in the boot partition?

So if boot is bad/corrupt/broken, then must reflash boot as can't boot from recovery partition because it is empty?

When I was looking at the CF-Root thread, the essence of it was to copy the zimage to mmcblk0p5 which I believe was the boot or kernel partition. There was no mention of accessing the next partition, the recovery partition, so what is the point of the recovery partition, or how is it used?

Or can someone point me to some doco describing the boot process of the SG devices?

Thanks.

Installed CM9

Finally could not resist and took the plunge, could not be happier, The note now is running faster, with everything that matters for me working.

I never flashed any of the leaked ICS roms so I was never in danger of bricking my phone.

I was running Gingerbread LC2, with LP6 Base-band. Rooted with Abyss 4.2 Kernel.

Also I used Titanium back up to restore all my User apps, not system apps, I think this where the confusion is, you can restore games and apps.

Market and DSPmanager working fine.

I will be sticking to this ROM as my daily driver as it is hard to go back to Gingerbread after tasting Ice Cream Sandwich. :-)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
it is not recommended to flash over imilkas cm9 as it was based on the repack as well.

or either flash abyss kernel, reboot into recovery , wipe everything and then flash ( someone tested this already i guess )

or odin to stock gb, wipe everything and then flash. its better to be safe.cm9 official has nothing to do with the repack my friend, so its better to move away from it first and then flash. why take a chance when you can spend 5 extra minutes and be safe :)

as for the apps, you can try restore missing apps only, but you might get fc errors. i would highly recommend a clean install, but you can try a restore missing apps only .. should work well. :)

OK, I just saw the answer:

=============================================================

This question has been answered a few times already but the safest way is to install stock GB ROM via Odin and then flash this on top.

Flashing abbys kernel from CWM, reboot recovery and then flash this ROM has also been confirmed working. In fact this is how I installed it as well

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Okay in all fairness it's very unlikely that you'll end up with a hardbrick from flashing this over an ICS leak. Yes, it's unsafe to flash ANYTHING with an ICS leak kernel but unless this CM9 install package is totally full of bugs it's probably not going to cause the eMMC to fry. And besides, flashing Abyssnote 4.2 kernel over an ICS leak and flashing CM9 from there is tested and working fine. Just wanted to clarify that.
