Flash Abyss kernel (3.6 worked for me; other versions should work too, although 4.2 refused to be flashed by CWM under ICS CF kernel).

Once Abyss is installed, reboot to Recovery, then wipe data, cache and Dalvic cache.

Reboot to Recovery again and flash Gingerbread ROM.

Restore should also work under Abyss kernel.

Pray. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyrion:
It is a good choice cause this rom is "wipe"

I did it with pc odin and it succeed

(do not tick repartition)

just put the 3 files in which they must be.

Do not do it if your battery is low.

It's not a good choice to wipe from ics kernel at the moment

With pc odin flash only no wipe firmware.Until flash has done and gingerbread is ok you can make a full wipe without problems.This is at the moment the more risk less flash
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurnishdhillon:
did wipe once man,,,

That 's the sad thing ,,,i did wipe cache just after installing LPY on day 1 ,,,so guess my best would be to wait for the devs or google of Sammy to release a fix for this rahter than move back to GB?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starnoise:
I accidently flashed a CF LPY kernel zimage via CWM on GB before i even flashed the lpy rom. So in this state i was able to get to CWM and there i backed up my data. Is backing up data on LPY also effected by this EMMC bug? As i mentioned in page 2, i later flashed a prerooted GB via PC ODIN and then i used Mobile Odin to install LPY kernel again this time together with LPY ICS rom. And everything is working now for more than a week, but i just dont feel safe to stay in this rom anymore... So again Can someone tell me if Backing up data from CWM on LPY kernel can damage your EMMC?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mix001:
you're fine! your phone is working! your emmc should be fine as long as you don't do wipe or install of rom!

if you want to revert to GB follow instructions how to do it using CWM or ODIN!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patosbuddy:
Everyone says do a full wipe, but what happens if I just put in my old german GB no wipe file that I went from back into mobile odin again and only do dalvik wipe?

It's still on my ext card.

I went from that to no wipe stock everything xxLPY using mobile odin.

Never done full wipe or used custom rom.

Will it work to go back without full wipe?

My Note are really laggy now so I'm not happy with it at all anymore.

I'm struggling each time I write a mail or something online. It lives it's own life. :mad:

Oh man ,,i am so glad ,, happy GOD!!

Reverted back to GB with ease ,,,was so damn scared since i had done a wipe Cache while on LPY before,,,,,,

Glad to be back on GB

Well i was really scared about what to do...since i was on official LPY....reading so many bricks and what not.....i decided to stay with it until some dev finds a solution....but i just could not resist....i was having an itch of flashing paranoid/cm9 on my phone...so i went the easy way....i went to cwm recovery and flashed the abyss kernel 4.2....it flashed fine...then did reboot recovery.....then wiped data/cache and dalvik cache and flashed checkrom....now its time for CM9 :)...

Real life experience....

Ok,i'm on LPY German + CFroot + done wipe cache twice(using Mobile odin to flash ICS & CFroot from Rocketrom GB v23) & TOTALLY scared to revert back to GB or superbrick my GNote. Here's what EXACTLY i do,happened & my opinions:

1.Download Abyss 4.2 kernel, Prerooted GB XXLC1 from bodivas thread,ODIN1.85,RocketRom GB V23 & put it into single folder (unzip prerooted GB rom-3 files & unzip ODIN1.85).Put Abyss4.2&Rocketrom GB v23 to phone internal memory. ODIN&Pre-rooted stay in my pc(in case Abyss&Rocketrom FAILED & Gnote not brick).

2.Backup & shutdown my GNote.

3.Get into CWM (combo button -Volume up,home & power)

4.Flash Abys4.2 kernel successfully & go to Advanced in CWM - Reboot Recovery & wait till GNote reboot & get into Redpil Recovery.

5. Still in Redpill Recovery - wipe data/factory reset,cache & dalvik - STAY IN REDPIL RECOVERY,DONT REBOOT!!!

6. Still in redpil - flash Rocketrom GB v23 - success & Reboot System.

7. MY GNOTE STUCKED IN ROCKETROM BOOT ANIMATION & SCREEN ARE BLANK/BLACK & NO RESPONSE!!!!Try reflash Rocketrom & still same FAILED result!!

Okay,here's what i do next:

1.Take out battery - put my Gnote to Download Mode (Combon buttons - Volume Down,Home & Power).

2. Start Odin1.85 & I just followed instructions in Bodivas thread using Prerooted ROM that i download before...unzip & have 3 files.

3. Connect GNote(still in Download Mode) to my laptop (while odin still running) & green in odin (detect & added).

4. Put 3 files to PDA,Modem & CSC.

5. DOuble check....again&again (dont repartition!!!)

6. START.

7. Gnote Autoreboot & continue installation in Gnote....and reboot GNote again.

8. Gingerbread started & successfully reach the settings..the one "Touch Logo to Settings"......fuhh!!!!! WHAT A RELIEF!!!!!

My opinions:

1. If you on Stock German LPY & STILL NO CF ROOT - the easiest,safe & simplest way is FLASH with ODIN using Prerooted GB (Full-wipe prefered) rom.

2. If you on Stock German LPY + CFRoot & no wipe at all OR Stock Grm LPY + CF ROOT + Wipe Cache - the SAFEST is using Abyss4.2 kernel,Custom GB rom & if failed...use ODIN. Abyss4.2 kernel is important if u failed..u're stil in GB Kernel & can use ODIN (GNOte still can get into CWM or DOnwload Mode).

Anyway,thats myexperience & opinions...maybe dont apply to your GNote....just want to share to all.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uccoffee.forum:
I just downgrade from lpf to lc1 via pcodin. The 1 file rom will flash the bootloader to an old one as well.

I need to do a wipe after that for it To work.

But i feel the gb is not as good as before after the flash. Some app kept frozen and 1 cannot even load.

i see thread after thread just spewing out hate for touchwiz..

how can so many of you not like touchwiz, lemme correct that *HATE touchwiz... i realize its the hip thing to do, to hate touchwiz, and you somehow think it makes you look pro, or cool, or like you know what youre talking about, but touchwiz rocks.. most of you havent even seen what the alternative is, you just hate it cause everyone else does.

do you realize losing touchwiz loses:

*built in screen capture by pressing home+lock

*task manager built into long press

*swipe left/right to call/text in contacts/dialer/texts

*toggles in drop down menu

*amazing UI in camera/file manager/ music player

*ability to adjust display options, beyond what stock roms are capable of

*swype

* ability to adjust brightness by moving dropbar back and forth

* the option to use the actual touchwiz launcher

* Divx, Xvid, and .avi support out of the box, as well as other formats supported only by samsung

*S-Voice

*Eye Tracking

*Smart Stay, keeps the screen awake while you're looking at the display

*Popup Play

its not like having a stock rom gives you anything in place of these.. if you dont like the touchwiz launcher, you can install another one, nova, apex, go, adw, adw ex, i cant see why ppl are soo determined to get rid of it, and have nothing in its place. would you really rather have no options, in place of where you DID have options?
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
answer now is not anymore or don't hate it that much anymore.
[Galaxy S III General] BladeZero:
I don't hate the touch wize, I hate the touchwize launcher and i miss all my touchwize apps, I actually wish I could have to touchwize framework on my custome ics rom just with a another launcher

[Galaxy S III General] Kiahnlliya:
I really am hoping that I will like the new version of Touchwiz! If I can change the icons in the dock and on the homescreens as well as the size of the grid on the homescreen, then I see myself using it on my phone. If I can't do both of those things, then I'm using Apex.

I don't want to stare at the default dock icons all day long, they are way too cartoony and colorful for me. But yeah, if I can change ALL the icons in Touchwiz, slap a nice and dark wallpaper on there and get some Metrostation/Minimal Text goodness going... I would LOVE to use Touchwiz, because I always try to install as few third-party apps and stuff on my phones. I'm just afraid that it won't allow me the level of customization that I want. Lucky for me Android is about options, so I can have an alternative launcher on my phone within 2 minutes if I want.

So for me it's not about trying to be cool and hip. Those things come naturally to me.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think ditching Touchwiz will affect like half of the things on your little list there?

EDIT: Task manager, swiping left/right in contacts, drop down toggles, camera UI, swype, brightness control, popup play and certainly Divx, Xvid, and .avi support... I don't see those being controlled by what launcher you use? I could be wrong though :p
[Galaxy S III General] rovex:
Most of that stuff isnt anything to do with TW at all. Most of it is in stand alone apps that will work whether you use TW as a launcher or not. I will be using Apex launcher and i will still have all the Samsung extras.

AOSP, Cyanogen and AOKP ROMS are over rated, most are slower than custom ROMs based on Samsung stock, they have missing or broken features and are often unstable. I dont see the point in getting a phone like the S3 and putting inferior software on it, why not just buy a Nexus to start with? The best ROMs are custom ROMs based on stock, optimised and free of the truly useless bloat.

I agree but I have to go aosp to have ics on my phone

[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
Yeah, identical thread started by the same OP in the SGS2 i9100 forum.

Silliness.
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
The codec support is definatly the best and I love the small things they added like the customizable battery percentage, extended toggles in the pulldown, newsticker on the lockscreen, shortcuts on the lockscreen etc.. it seems like they let you customize alot and I think you can really tell they hired someone from the CM team.

The new touchwiz also looks pretty good, I really like that they use 5 icons now. The appdrawer looks great and the plain black pulldown also looks nice. I think it looks very grown up now and even though it's using popping colours I don't find it too tacky or cartoonish like many others. I can't stand the "buhuhuhu they ruined the beauty of stock ICS buhhuhuhuhu" comments anymore it might not be "eyecandy" like sense which btw. I find extremly ugly but it is super smooth, compareable with iOS, it's minimalistic and not too overloaded.

The browser in gingerbread was crushing pretty much everything. It kinda sucks on ICS ATM, but seeing some videos it seems like it's fixed on the S3. Chrome comes close but it's still so buggy and lacks features. Samsung still has the smoothest browser, thats for sure...
[Galaxy S III General] gaeng4665:
Absolutely not true! CM is probably one of the most stable aosp roms. It will provide you (after some time passed for development) with superior performance, battery life and sometimes options like ui themes etc.

This is fact, not just user experience... but for everyone the roms they prefer the most. Personally looking forward to have dualboot and cm9 as primary rom...
[Galaxy S III General] rovex:
Sorry, but on my S2 Cyanogen 9 sucks compared to the custom ROM/Siyah kernel combo im using. I tried it.
[Galaxy S III General] soraxd:
not true, i added exclamation marks! lol
[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
Oh right, brilliant. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] bortak:
I think we can all agree upon TW giving android more functionality, and thank you Samsung for that, but I think what most people really hate is how badly it looks, compared to stock ICS it's ghastly. The use of crappy colours, and god awful icons doesn't exactly help give a better UI. The stock ICS messaging app (at least to me) is a lot prettier and I wouldn't want to change it, it has all the functionality I need. Same goes for contacts and dialler.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
I've never owned a Samsung phone, the GS3 will be my first, so I read a lot about TW. And I like a lot of the features, but I think Samsung is trying too hard to not update the looks. There were almost no changes visually in the new version. If they'd just plated the icons, made it more Holo themed, yet still kept the features, people would be happy.
[Galaxy S III General] BladeZero:
Yeah, maybe holo themed with changes to it to make it unique

This. More Holo, less cartoony. I really wish manufacturers would actually adhere to the Holo guidelines to ensure a more uniform and consistent look for Android. It's getting better, I mean Eclair was downright fugly. I love vanilla ICS, I love the look, and I can't wait to see Jellybean.

hello 2 all!

i´ve searched since 4 days but got no luck so far..

i was on IceColdSandwich 7.4 test7.1. i have had the latest radio and 4ext newest version as recovery..

then my phone freezed. i took out the battery and rebooted. the phone stucked at green htc logo. i rebooted again to restore my nandroid backup. full wipe, flash succesfull but no luck at boot. still the same.

now when i boot my phone and go to the bootloader menu, it shows this..

ace pvt eng s-off

hboot-0.85.2007 (pd9810000)

microp-0438

radio-26.14.04.28_m

emmc-boot

any try to flash a new recovery or something elase via fastboot goes wrong and my phone seems to be "dead"

someone here who can guide my through my problem?

if more info is needed, please post
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
You tried flashing a new recovery via adb? Your recovery is still working though right? I doubt you'll need to flash a new recovery then. Try running the superwipe function in 4ext and then restore the nandroid backup. Also, if you don't restore the backup and just flash a new ROM instead, does it boot?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shino82:
i can´t do anything at all. only boot into bootloader and choose fastboot. but nothing happens if i choose recovery. then the phone reboots and stuck at htc logo. i guess my phone "is completely naked"..

even updating through original ruu stucked at 20% "waiting for bootloader" or "update booting"
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0mas_:
you say you tried to flash recovery via fastboot. maybe pd98img would work...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Yes. There is a thread somewhere in the development forum which has a link to download the stock ROM in PD98IMG.zip form. Search in all threads with 'RUU' in their title. That's the only type of file you can flash in fastboot. Only stock ROMs and radios work that way. Download that file, put it in the root of your SD card, boot into bootloader and wait. It'll detect it itself and ask if you want to flash it. That should work. You'll be back to stock though and will have to root and s-off again.

Hello,

Currently i am using NEO V on ICS Spacious,Smooth & light ROM with Custom v3 kernel by Sharul Seth, i have an unlocked bootloader.

Whenever i try to install any other ROM like MIUI or any other ICS ROM by some other developer, my phone gets stuck at SONY LOGO for more than 10 minutes and i have to again n again switch back to my old custom ROM through CMW, i don't know what is the problem so i need suggestions from you guys, that is there a problem with the ROM or something else.

BTW i follow the steps correctly as mentioned like wiping dalvik cache,partition,data etc

still the phone takes forever to boot up and i have to switch back to my old custom ROM through CMW

*I was't able to find any threads with similar problem as mine therefore i posted a new one and moderators are free to delete this if they can answer by sending me link to some other forum.

so i've been lurking aroma rom thread for a while, and finally pulled the trigger. this is the exact thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1603919

1. my phone is xperia neo, on stock GB firmware, and unlocked bootloader. so when pulling the trigger, i flashed my phone to ICS using flashtool 0.7.1.0. i got the ICS from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24916638&postcount=117

but after following the instructions on the flashtool software, my phone got stuck on sony logo, and then kept restarting :(

this is what shows up on the flashtool screen

anybody knows what the problem is? i would appreciate any kind of help. i have only done flashing step, before this accident happened. because the installation requires ICS firmware before doing any further action

2. there is a neo patch in the aroma thread, but there are no instructions for it. how do i use this patch, and when do i do it (after flashing ICS, after installing aroma rom, etc.)?

thanks in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
1) tick "no final verification" when selecting fw in flashtool.

2) that zip needs to be flashed trough CWM recovery, after flashing the rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] codephos:
you have to check "No final data verification" when flashing the ICS ftf. It should look like this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24920288&postcount=1527

Hey!

A while ago I got the idea of learning how to cook roms.. I made some research on it and I found some helpful stuff on xda. Well, I tried but quiet didn't understand and manage to be successful in doing what was told there..

I've read lots of stuff like "The hardest part of developing roms is getting started". So I guess this is the part where I need the most help :D

Whatever, the reason why I opened this thread is that I wanna hear some developers. Their ideas on developing; How to get started, their short story on how they started developing...

Basically I wanna learn where/how to start from those people who experienced and managed to become a developer..

I mean, I wanna know your stories as I really think they will help me, they will be examples to me...

Well, not only me, to anyone who reads them.. I'm hoping that this thread will help other newbies like me... :)
