I just successfully PC Odin'ed back to the stock ICS. I'm perfectly happy with it. I had to wipe data to get it to fully boot. I followed Dr. Kelar's post about rooting and it worked fine. I did not flash CF Root kernel as I was reading that it was causing bricks when you wipe with CWM.

The CWM that I flashed is the newer version that is touch recovery now. So, does this CWM have problems with bricking too?

Edit:

Also, when I did this my triangle went away and binary count went back down as well. Woot Woot! haha!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] glenroebuck:
Hey I got a n7000 in the usa as well. How do I get the official stock ICS on it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] andreww88:
I flashed this one (on the OP). It is considered stock factory and won't increase custom binary counter or put a triangle on screen.

I ran the software update and there isn't an update right now. It doesn't go through carrier though for our phone so that's really good. If we had the ATT Note it would go through them, luckily for us we don't ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lordmusik:
You should have root. So go to Odin mobile and flash the cf kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jiniku:
can you please elaborate on the satisfactions you have with this OFFICIAL LPY rom? the speed of operation / responsiveness of the touch / battery life and so on..

have downloaded it , but wanting to be more certain is this release is good...in comparison to the other custom roms you have tried (i noticed you have tried quite a number of them..which i have tried them all...hehehe :P)...

i am currently happy about ICS STUNNER 1.4.26.1 ... the only set back is its battery life...drains too fast...other than that..its a pretty good ROM...

thanks a lot man!

Battery drain

I have flashed ICS on my Note & its battery seems going empty very fast now in comparison with GB 2.3.6.

How about your Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] andreww88:
I just flashed tonight and have not gone through charging cycles so I can not accurately describe battery life.

Edit:

It takes a few days for batteries to "adapt" per say to new ROMs so be a little patient.

You can still wipe data in the basic recovery after you Odin the new ICS. That's how I got it to boot because it would just sit on the Samsung screen until I wiped data.

Then, to gain root, follow Dr. Keslar's post about it. It's very easy. Flash CWM.zip in recovery and it makes it CWM touch recovery and then flash BusyBox. Simple. Reboot. Done, you have root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
ICS Stunner is an immensely satisfying ROM (although it lacks the propriety Premium Suite).

If you don't give a damn about the S Pen Premium Suite, I suggest you stick with Stunner. With regards to you battery drain in Stunner, please make sure you have the LP5 modem with it and NOT the LP6.

LP6 is known to be giving battery and heating up problems.

As for the Stock ICS, everything is fine with it (except the ugly TouchWiz) Battery-life is good too.

If you're facing battery-drains, please flash it again after doing a COMPLETE CACHE WIPE (including partition and Dalvik). That will solve your issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] tillum:
Yay! Awesome update. Flashed this via mobile odin with rooted kernel straight from criskelo v2, lp6. No issues, and after freezing various apps through titanium backup Im very happy with this. Have also pushed apex launcher to /system/apps

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
Yes that can happen sometimes, don't worry.

My advice to you would be to re-flash the ROM of your choice using the following steps -

1. Reboot to recovery

2. Wipe Cache Partition (A Factory Reset if possible as well)

3. Goto Advanced-->Wipe Dalvik Cache

4. install zip from sd card

5. Reboot

Do revert incase of any further errors/problems.

:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] GocaS6:
You of course disregard all that advices "use abyss kernel", you don't have any nandroid backup to restore, you just decide to go back on chinese leak for which i belive has different bootladers then LPY? Well not too much mistakes i think :)

Only solution that i see is go to download mode, flash some prerooted GB ROM of your choice and start all over again ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sameer_tangri:
Can't boot to Recovery Mode

I have tried a lot but am unable to boot into Recovery Mode....Guess I will give a try to the following procedure-

1. Try to boot into Download Mode

2. Reflash the Stock ICS 4.0 LPY German ROM.

3. Flash Criskelo ROM over that without the Factory Reset/Data Wipe

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

Are you saying that I do the following-

1. Boot into Download Mode and flash a GB ROM using PC ODIN

2. Root it.

3. Then Flash the Criskelo 4.0 ICS ROM using CWM

Have I got it right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] GocaS6:
Yes that's exactly what i'm sayin :)

Just you have already rooted stock ROM here somwhere in Android development section, it will save you some time or you can install fresh stock rom and them root it, whatever.

From fully rooted GB you can go on every rom that you want :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] quappz:
I had a similar issue to sameer_tangri.

Currently stuck at the boot screen. Was on Stock 4.03 with cf-root.

I can get into recovery mode so i'm going to try flashing criskelo over this.

What i was wondering is, is there a flashable version of stock 4.03 that i can flash through recovery and keep root?

Or am i better off flashing a prerooted GB ROM and then moving back to ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gelt_0:
Stock Rom ICS 4.0.3

since installed this rom y have 2 problems

Hardware accelerated video display is not working

Battery drain very fast

any one have this problems?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] sameer_tangri:
Sorry for being a pain

I have one last questions....

Could I use PC Odin to Flash the LPY ICS 4.0 ROM (instead of the GB ROM) and then directly upgrade to the Criskelo ROM?

Thanks for you patience.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] quappz:
Help? Not sure what best action would be to do.

I tried restoring a GB Backup but it failed at system. I'd rather be able to flash something from recovery than from pc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
To boot into RECOVERY MODE -

(Menu Button + Volume UP + Power button) in this order ONLY. Try again and again for sometime. The timing is important.

For moving from German release to custom ICS

Downgrade to stock GB. Search dr ketan's thread for the guides.

OR

Flash you ROM via Mobile Odin if you have the .md5 files. DO NOT forget to wipe caches.

Last and most important,

DO NOT FLASH ANY ICS LEAKS (chinese or otherwise)

YOU COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DJChriZZ:
Ok flashing was fine with mobile odin also the CF root kernel.

But this rom is the final one ??? TW launcher and it looks like a 2.3.6 rom ?

Response and speed is better. In Samsung presentation Video is another launcher but here ??

My launcher pro plus don't working here :-(

This rom is not what i'm waiting for.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
1.Please do a FACTORY RESET.

2.Wipe Cache Partition

3.Wipe Dalvik Cache.

Now, flash your rom.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

Yes the ROM is official. Looks like GB because of TouchWiz interface.

Samsung Video also shows TouchWiz. (What else could it be anyways??)

Use Apex or Nova. They ae known to be good on ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] quappz:
Just to confirm, while Criskelo is downloading.

I'm stuck on Boot Screen.

I was on Rooted Stock ICS.

I can get into recovery.

So i will do a full WIPE.

Then i will flash Criskelo Rom in recovery.

And all should be working again?

Or am I better off flashing a GB rom via PC Odin?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
Yes, that is correct.

If you're on stock ICS, just wipe and flash your new rom.

Hope it goes well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jaskiratsingh:
Hi,

Good to see you in note forum.welcome buddy.

Depends on you. I have flashed over gb using both mobile and pc Odin and so far so good. Though it has few minor bugs but hey this is a software and no software is bug free.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] quappz:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DrBytes:
Battery draining fast

I hope someone can help.

I flashed this ICS but I'm starting to wonder if I should go back.

The battery is draining fast, no clue as to why. Is it so that the battery/system needs to adapt to the new power usage profile of the ROM?

Would wiping the battery statistics in CWM help?

There's a mention in the forums to completly wipe/factory reset the device and then reflash the ROM in order to amend the battery issue; anyone out there that has done this? If so, did it help?

With regards to going back to another earlier rom, eg Litning ROM, is it enough to just flash the ROM and wipe the cache/dalvik/factory reset?

TIA

cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] quappz:
Okay so after flashing Criskelo, it it rebooted a bout 5 times.. each time at a random time when the samsung boot animation would come up.

It's now sitting on the flashing samsung screen, will let it sit there for a while i guess. How long after flashing a new ROM does it take to start up?

EDIT: It's installing applications now... looks like it's all going good :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
Ok, I too just finished flashing Criskelo v3.

Boot-time is a bit longer on first run. But that is because the rom has to rebuild the application cache.

Subsequent Boots confirmed to be much faster. No issues as of now. Will have to use for a while before commenting on the battery.

Goddamn it, i was up almost all night flashing, bottom line is i flashed gb rom with heimdall and rooted it, checked root by pasting in the system folder and it worked so then next step i installed mobile odin loaded this rom changed the kernel with the cf rooted lpy kernel checked the boxes everroot, inject mobile odin, inject super su, wipe data and wipe dalvik cache and then i flashed, so ics boots up and again i don`t have full root....checked it with copy paste in system folder and it doesen`t work, what have i done wrong?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] salemsnake:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
there was no need to downgrade. Downgrading to GB as it is, is quite tricky and known to give problems.

I suggest you reboot to recovery, do a factory reset (recommended), wipe cache partition, wipe dalvic cache and then flash the rom of your choice.

chainfire released a modified CF-Kernel for LPY. But there are certain problems that devs are working on.

You can download Criskelo v3 from the official thread under Development section.

Quick question: I am on the official build of ICS, but it seems to be giving me problems. Can I download the official ROM and put it on my SD card and update it via the vol up + home + power button and then select update from SD card? I am on an unlocked note from DBT. I got the update via KIES, and I am having issues with having to press buttons multiple times. I think the OS I have downloaded might be corrupt.

So how can I reflash the original ROM? I'm not rooted or anything like that. I'm just your typical user.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] salemsnake:
Aha so you mean go back to gb, root and then flash ics via cwm?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] loryb84:
is there a .zip of the stock rom to flash using cwm? thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] zkyevolved:
No no, I mean just reflash ICS over ICS. I just feel for some reason that maybe the version that got delivered to me wasn't installed correctly or flashed 100% or something. So I'd like to just reflash my device. I downloaded the image from Sammobile.com, but how can I flash it? Can I just put it on my SD card and select update from the power + home + vol up menu?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lfaitas:
Installed and used this official ics touchwiz rom for a few days now and i am not impressed, it looks very much like the gingerbread.. and i get fc when i receive phone calls in landscape mode..

Returned to stunner rom, which is far superior, mainly because of the available Euphoria controls which allow you to customise many things in you phone and also phone & contacts interface is much superior... speed is also excellent.

For anyone interested i did full wipe and flashed stunner zip using recovery and restored apps using titanium backup with no problems at all...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
The rom posted here has been repackaged and hence you don't require anything extra. you will automatically get root + cwm.

I suggest you go for Criskelo's rom v3 which was just released today. And yeah, don't forget to wipe.

Hope this is helpful :)

EDIT: Mobile Odin anyways requires Root Access. How else would it flash?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Abagnale:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:

But then, what's the fun in doing it if there wasn't any risk involved? ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Abagnale:

Pls help

I was on Stock non-rooted DDLB2 GB ROM.

Upgraded to the Stock ICS 4.0 LPY ROM and rooted it. Was not impressed and so I decided to go for Criskelp v2 ROM.

I used CWM, made a backup of my ROM and then copied the Criskelo v2 ZIP file onto my SD card and flashed it using CWM.

Now I am stuck on the Boot Screen and can't get ahead of it.

I can go into Recovery Mode and Download Mode also but can't do much in either of these modes.

I tried to refals the ICS LPY ROM using PC ODIN but it gets stuck at NAND write and doesn't move.

I went into Recovery Mode and did everything - Factory Reset, Cache wipe, Dalvik Cache Wipe and then Criskelo ROM re-install thru CWM. But no use. I am still stuck at Boot screen.

Pls help me with possible options.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Rocheau:
Abagnale, in my case from GB to ICS , I change the CSC from KOR to DBT , then I plug the phone to the PC and open KIES. Inmediately the phone began to update to ICS. In a few minutes I had the official Rom installed WITH OUT ANY RISK. After, to gain root access I just follow a small guide here to get ROOT at ICS stock (is about to download a couple of files and install them via recovery)

For me, this is the easier and safer way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] andreww88:
Be careful. Wiping data in CWM has proved to be a problem right now. It is perfectly okay to use stock ICS LPY with even root, but stay away from CWM. When I flashed it, I did not flash CF-Root kernel with it. I rooted a different way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Abagnale:
were you on rooted +cwm GB rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toxicthunder:
simply flash the zip file. Place it anywhere you want to. Just remember the path so that when you boot into recovery mode, you know where it is.

all you need to do is to choose the option install from sd card and then select the file that you have placed.

thats strange. do one thing - do a complete factory reset and wipe FIRST. then flash a rooted stock GB (head over to dr ketan's guide).

After you have a rooted stock gb, reboot to recovery and flash the ICS package. do follow these steps and then revert incase you face problems.

Couple things: I noticed today in CPU Spy that at some point the CPU stopped going into deep sleep. I'm not running anything differently than I did on GB and had no problems there. That could be the cause of the battery drain problems people are having.

I restarted using the power menu to see if it would go into deep sleep after rebooting, and once again it went into a bootloop (see my post a few pages back). Any idea what could be causing this? I did a full wipe and every thing was working fine, but it seems like every time I reboot, it bootloops.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jaskiratsingh:
Looks like the binary file isnt flashed properly. Did you flash it with mobile ODIN or PC ODIN. If you didnt use PC ODIN then try with that and after flashing, hard reset the device. We do have the option to root even when flashed with PC ODIN.

Regarding battery, yes the ICS version is consuming more battery than GB. With GB it would last 30-40 hours and with ICS, after 100% charged it went down to 36% in 13 hours, with same apps and same configuration. I am monitoring CPU Spy and device is going to deep sleep. My screen is using 49% of the battery, dont know why.
