Sounds like you are doing it wrong.. MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON the STOCK ICS firmware, I'm not really sure of it will work on the Chinese ICS firmware, If you flashed that you might have been quite screwed.

The first recovery you boot to is the Standard Android Recovery mode, You are supposed to place the files in external storage and from the Stock Recovery, choose Apply Update from external Storage.

Once that is done you should be booted to Touch CWM recovery and from now you have to use the touchscreen to navigate around. Then choose install zip from SDCARD and install the SU-Busybox_installer.zip.. That should give you root

Done

well, i am on stock ics, none of that chinese crap. was on rocketrom gb before i cwm'd to ics german yesterday.

ok, now it's stuck at unmounting /system (got the first issue sorted out) on the temporary touch CWM.

edit 3: nopes, still no write permissions on /system.

any other tips?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SoonHD2:
So how do i get to the choose external storage? Do i have to press some key combo. Because when you go to Vol.down+home+power you get to recovery but there is no install from external storage. I can only go to download mode via vol.up?

Please help?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nunosm:
Just rooted my Note using this simple guide! No Triangle! Many THX!!!

(Just one note: I had to move the su installer to internal SD, because external was not available in CWM, but no prob!)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kolokas:
is there any problem with this method of rooting like cf cernel????
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] praetorius:
You are doing this to root AND you are using CF kernel. Does that answer your question?

If am already rooted GB and updated to rooted ics, this way of unrooting will work or? ? Thanks in advance :]:)

this should be a sticky post, its seems to be more easy than the other method... with this method can i flash modifications?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
Turn phone off..

Hold Volume Up + Menu + Power

Now when Samsung Note screen appears let go of power

Couple more seconds and you'll be in the stock recovery mode
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deathst:
It generally should work.

Well, As long as you can get the CWM in temporary via Stock recovery.. The rooting process is just a update.zip away, as long as you install the SU zip file from anywhere it should work fine.

Hi TS,

Noob here.. I just bought my N7000 with Build no. - Gingerbread.DXLA1, Android version 2.3.6, Baseband version N7000DXKL2, Kernel version 2.6.35.7-N7000DXLA1-CL886914.

I just want to upgrade to ICS stock with root. My questions are:

1. Where can I get the official ICS firmware that can be flashed via Odin without increasing the binary counter and avoiding the triangle? I have seen many links here actually but with different sizes but I am not sure which one I can use. I want to confirm if I can just flash it via Odin with my current firmware and kernel without bricking? =)

2. After flashing via step 1, can I just follow your guide in the OP and then I will have root? I already downloaded the three attached files.

Thanks in advance! =)

anyone similar problems or has a solution for this ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
This is wrong, it is Volume Up + Home + Power

Can't mount the external storage when I try, I guess the files need to be on an external sd card, not the internal USB storage?

what is the difference between rooting with first method and rooting it using the cf-root lpy kernel

Worked perfectly!

I had updated my originally unrooted Galaxy Note from the Stock GingerBread ROM DDLB2 to this stock ICS ROM yesterday.

Now I followed this process today and my Note is rooted.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hykhleif:
me worked like charm

one question, before i tried i was on cf-root lpy kernel and noticed that LPY rom was slow and buggy, that is when i went back to stock GB rom without root

and then i just flashed offical stock LPY rom with PC odin, and I felt that LPY os really smooth.

So by following this method I am not using cf-root kernel right? or anything related to that kernel

I am just wondering why not everyone uses this method

its always best to be on stock rom and kernel in my opinion, at least u will know everything works

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AmiDonk:
With this method, you can not use AdBlock apps. Can not write to the host file. So it seems that you do not have root access to the etc / host or any other folder.

Thanks anyway for this, hope it will be a simple full root method later

I have rooted stock GB ROM with Abyss kernel and I just tried flashing the stock ICS ROM (torrent download) via ODIN v3 1.85, but it failed and prompted an error that says "Can't open the serial port." Am I missing any steps?

Update: Well, interestingly, I changed the USB cable and used another port, and it worked. The first cable was actually Samsung's cable that came with the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] akenis:
This method worked easily after PC Odin of official ICS.

1. Like others have asked, do we now have same kernel as those that flashed the CF Root LPY kernel? Mine reads-

se.intra@SEP-103 #3

SMP PREEMPT Fri May 4 04:49:06 KST 2012

didn't look to see what it was before root.

2. I still have stock recovery. How do I get CWM recovery?

3. Can I now install ROM Manager or is there something different called CWM Manager? What's the difference?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
I had the "partial" root experience. Said it was rooted, but would not allow me to

copy to the root folders. Then I started reading about bricks and got a little

nervous and uninstalled it. Think I'll wait til it gets sorted out.

I have lived without root for a couple months, a few more weeks won't hurt if it keeps me from bricking it.

Romanian ICS update confirmed as rooted via this method

Today I have received the official update trough Kies. Of course I was the "lucky" user of the Ginger LC1 in regarding root unitl now :mad: .

After the ICS update my first concern was to check for having root access option. And, yep, it is working. Many thanks for the authors, it is so nice having back the Titanium app working.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] garytube:
If you put all these files on your external sd card (micro sd card to be clear) CMW.zip will show up and work like it should.

I assume you simply put in on your internal storage. If not and im oversee something than im sorry.

My colleague did just make that and after I explained him where to put the files everything worked like a charm

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deathst:
Glad to see it works for many people but puzzled that some people's devices are unable to root correctly.

A gentle reminder as this only works on Full Stock ICS ROM from Samsung, No repacks or other kernels.

This thread is really self run as the instructions are so straight forward. There is really no need to explain it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] neos_83:
Does this method work on stock GB rom as well?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
Here's what my phone has/had put on it.

DBT Note.

Came with 2.3.5, rooted it using the one click version.

Screwed up and let Kies update it to 2.3.6, which unrooted it and nothing

would root it. At that point, I didn't wipe, mod, or change anything. Left

it "stock".

Updated via Kies to 4.0.3

Used the files in this thread to root. Said it was rooted, programs that

require root worked as intended, but, no program would let me copy, move,

delete, or modify ANYTHING in the /system folder.

I unrooted it, after seeing several posts of bricks, and other problems because

this is my business device, and I can't afford to be without it.

So, you could say my phone was partially rooted I guess.

I'm just paranoid of bricking it, which is why I removed it. I can put it back

on if the experts think it is safe. I can live without root until/if someone

finds a better way though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LOulOo:
is some one else has also this trouble :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bgnecnakh:
Chainfire says not to use CMW recovery to root...I did it anyways using THIS method...luckily I didn't bricked because this straight-forward method does not work. I only got up to this point, when CWM keeps refreshing and no matter what I do (correctly and incorrectly) I cannot choose an option that will take me further

Rooting

Download the Files first and put in your SDCARD

Reboot to recovery.

Choose apply update from external storage.

(Touch the screen as if you are using the phone to choose the options)

Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear. ( Do note this is Touch CWM )

Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD

is there another way to root LPY stock ICS.

I updated from GB 2.3.6 LB2 without root.

Up to this point my NOTE has never seen Root.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bgnecnakh:
can anyone give me some advise on this? i'm quoting myself here.

This is from Dr. Ketan's method of rooting...I'd prefer this but I cannot go any further at that point.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bgnecnakh:
Hi all,

Just letting you know I come from a background where instructions should be clear and concise. And I find that this is not the case for most instructions posted by the forums.

Please allow me to make some small detail mods to aid those who don't need to lose a hair to figure out the missing yet important subparts to get rooting successful.

My device:

stock unrooted GB 2.3.6 LB2

updated to stock unrooted LPY ICS

via Software Update from Phone

This rooting method works flawlessly for me

I take no credit for this method from deathst post (source)

Just a small revision.

NOTE:

----> 1. xxxxxxx. This is STEP 1.

----> xxxxxxxx. What to do for STEP 1.

****Rooting****

1. Download the Files first and put in your external SDCARD

[CWM zip][ SU-Busybox-Installer.zip][ SU-Uninstaller-signed.zip]

2. Reboot to recovery.

Turn off SGN. Hold VOLUME-UP + MENU-BUTTON + POWER-BUTTON

until GT-N7000 logo appears, let go all buttons right away.

3. Choose APPLY UPDATE FROM EXTERNAL STORAGE.

Using the VOLUME DOWN to select and use POWER BUTTON to select.

4. Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.

Using the VOLUME DOWN to select and use POWER BUTTON to select.

5. Choose INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD.

At this point. Selection is only possible by TOUCHSCREEN.

VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON will not work.

6. Choose ZIP FROM INTERNAL SDCARD.

Selection is by TOUCHSCREEN

7. Choose to Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip

Confirm on the next screen. Wait until success.

8. Reboot

9. You are done and now your device is Rooted

****Unroot****

Either follow the steps below or carefully do step 1 through 6 above

7. Choose and Install SU-Uninstaller-Signed.zip

8. Reboot

9. You are done and now your device is Unrooted

I had that problem. But after two factory resets of the operating system so it seems to work. First, it did not get full root. But the second time with a factory reset and clear the usb storage it worked to get the full root.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sejtam:
I have just tried rooting my newly upgraded phone using this method.

I find a number of things interesting

On the GNote, the external SD card is in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/

The stock recovery sees that correctly, but only shows a limited number of

directories from the external_sd, and sorts capitals before lowercase, so that my 'download' dir was not shown. I had to make a new dir

a) The CWM recovery for me

b) showd the internal SD card from /mnt/sdcard by default

c) only shows one subdir (/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/dailyroads)

on the external SD card. Not sure why that is.

I even moved the files SU-Busybox-installer.zip to the /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

(root of the external_sd) but even that did not show.

bummer.

I will try if I can mount the external SD on a PC and fsck/checkdsk it, in case something is broken..

or maybe i'll try to use a small spare microsd just for the rooting process...

Hi Guys, not really sure why this is, but the zip files do not show in the External Drive.

Doesn't work for me, copied the files to external sd, powered off, booted whilst keeping vol down, home and power pressed. It enters recovery mode and I select the top option (other option is restart) and it just sits there with a 'Downloading - Do not turn off target' message on the screen.
