Hi,

AzeDazzle has been helping me out a lot 'm pretty much set to install CM9. I've got all the files ready except for one hiccup.

Before install CM9 I'll be downgrading to 2.3.5. I've got the stock firmware which I'll be flashing using Odin. After I install the 2.3.5, I'll need to install CWM Recovery and rot my phone. I haven't found a good article explaining how to do this. All the articles show different methods and I'm very lost. If I mess it up, I'll have a brick.

Most articles and even Azedazzle suggested downloading some sort of a kernel like AbyssNote or SpeedMod. I'd like to use the CM9 kernel because I'm not sure what each of these kernels are.

I'll gladly use it if someone could explain, what kernel I should use, where should I download it and how do I install it?

Does installing a kernel like AbyssNote or SpeedMod automatically give you root and CWM Recovery?

When I install CM9, will my kernel be overwritten with the CM9 kernel?

Whats the easiest way to get root and CWM Recovery onto my phone?

A link to a an article with the explanations and downloads for the 2.3.5 Android would be the best.

Does the CWM Recovery get removed every time I install a new ROM onto my phone — stock or custom?

I'm so confused and scared with everything.

Thank you everyone. It's people like you that keep noobs like me in the game. Thank you. If you were, I'd buy you night of all-you-can-drink-beer. :D

rrrr
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlooke:
Forget all that :D

Use this link to download a pre-rooted GB ROM

Use ODIN to flash it (select the file in the PDA option in ODIN)

Reboot Note into GB, let it settle for a few minutes. Connect to your PC/Laptop and copy to the Note SD card the ROM of your choice - sounds like you're going with CM9 so bung it on the SD card

Now reboot into recovery

NOW it's important to follow the CM9 installation instructions - I dont know what they are so you'll have to go to the CM9 thread OP and read them and understand them.

Dont worry about wiping/factory reset becuase you will already be on GB (pre-rooted) which is fine and safe.

Good Luck :good:

P.S. Dont panic, take it slow and READ those CM9 instructions :D

Does this pre-rooted ROM come with CWM Recovery?

Just to double-check,

I don't have to wipe after install the rooted ROM. Right?

On a side note, would you be able to explain

why this "wiping" this is so important. What does it do? How does it affect a new ROM installation?

I've followed the CM) instructions and read them through a bunch of times so I've manage to get to the bit where I have a 2.3.5 ROM onto my phone with Root and CWM Recovery, I'll be okay.

Thanks again.

I don't have to wipe after install the rooted ROM. Right? - Any reason? as such you can.

why this "wiping" this is so important. What does it do? How does it affect a new ROM installation?- It removes leftover and make your device clean.

Hi

I just bought a new Galaxy Note (but not from the provider) so I have no idea in which country it was released.

Now I'm trying to download a stock ICS rom from SamMobile but I don't know which rom (pda/csc) to choose.

my Note displays these infos :

pda n7000xxlc1

phone n7000xxlb2

csc n7000oxxlb3

but when I look for roms that match my pda/csc I find lots of them matching, but for different countries and different service providers

Do I why just pick one of them or what ?

thx

Yes you can have any.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Just pick any ICS ROM in the android development thread.I would personally say Notecore.Follow the instructions on the OP and you'll be just fine.To return to stock ROM, just flash your stock GB ROM using PC Odin(you can find the stock rom for your country in dr.ketan's thread)

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

Flash the new Half-Illusion 0.3 ROM and use the USB Mass storage fix apk file provided in the OP.

If you still can't get Mass storage to work, then go trouble toxicthunder ;)

Hello prmsc, to root the current stock Ice Cream Sandwich firmware on your device, you need to download any one of the safe kernels such as GL Notecore or SpeedMod from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29158659&postcount=1 and flash it using PC ODIN. If you intend on flashing the GL Notecore kernel, then make sure you download and use the Standard version.

Do not forget to click the thanks button for chasmodo.

You can download PC ODIN, read and understand the rooting procedure from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Do not forget to click the Thanks button for dr.ketan.

After the flashing process is over, go to the Google Play Store and purchase the app, Triangle Away. This app will get rid of the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark.

:)

I am unaware of the flashing requirements for CM10 Jelly Bean. You will have to go the respective thread, read and understand it.

:silly:

I wish you happy rooting and flashing.

I'm upgrading to a CM9 kernel and I was in the Samsung Stock 4.0.4 ROM. I has to downgrade to a Gingerbread ROM to upgrade to the new CM9 ROM. Once I've gone into my CM9 ROM, and I need to upgrade to CM10 or some other ROM e.g. AOKP. Do I need to always downgrade to a Gingerbread ROM?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Not for Gingerbread(GB) to CM9 and CM9 to any other ROM.GB and CM9 and CM10 use safe kernels so they are safe.

ICS stock kernels on the other hand, have a bug which may result in your device getting bricked.Just follow the guides in the OP(Opening Post) of the ROM you choose to install and you'll be just fine

Hi there.

I got a weird problem since yesterday.

Came from Anidroid CM9 and flashed the CM10 by half illusion - since then the mtp or mass storage function isnt working. i wasnt scared cause rom is still beta BUT gone to be a bit confused when others said their note is working perfectly fine with the mass storage fix.

Today i wanted to give it a test, i flashed stock CM9, no usb connection, AOKP same, Cleanote same. That confuses me. sdcard is present - rootbrowser is doing its job, kiesair app works perfectly fine BUT all my computers doesnt recognize the note anymore. Also confusing for me: i can toggle USB Debugging on and off during phone connected.. My computers are just saying:"Windows hasnt installed the device related drivers" (flyby translation from German: Windows hat die Geraetetreiber nicht installiert)

Now im goin to flash a fresh pre rooted GB - i have NEVER been on a brickkernel and am a bit scared now.

Maybe u can help?

/edit: Treid to flash the pre rooted gb rom via PC Odin - not working because isnt recognized...

/e2:well - im gonna send my note back to samsung. figured out that it lost its efs folder again, no problem aswell i have a backup but all issues i have in summary its better for me to get a new one :)

lil list: No connection to computer possible, rebooting or shutting down by itself, no lock possible on stockroms (they just easily doesnt appear, no matter if pin, face or swipe unlock is activated), cannot connect to mobile networks sometimes, sim fails to be detected-reboot solves, no OTAs, no samsung apps login possible and manymore lil bugs. think i played way too much and the consequence now is hopefully just half a month with my old hd2 leo :)

Hi

hello I have a huge problem with my mobile network, the situatins is the next one.

I am running Anidroid ROM based on CM9 for Galaxy Note, so I was gettin Wifi drops, so I read about it and people suggested to Install and run FXR wifi app, I did and what happened next was that my wifi was entirely broken, I just couldn't turn it on, I fixed that by doing a factory reboot and all the possible wipes on CWM recovery, now the problem is that my mobile network turns itself off every time I reboot my phone, I know if you're rebooting your phone it's supposed to go off and on but I can see the bars getting an X when it is shutting down and when it reboots it takes way to long to get signal again, which before running that app didn't happen at all i was able to make a call 2 secs in.

So any help restoring whatever FXR wifi messed up in my mobile network? thanks and sorry about the english.

I did a few searches but the app itself doesn't have much support/comments about it.

First up - @Azzledazzle and @DrKetan thanks a million to you wonderful people!

Here's what I have:

Stock Unrooted Indian ICS 4.0.4 LR6.

Here's what I want:

I want to go Azzledazzles' way and install Cleanote ROM. Of course I need to Root my stock phone first. I have the following stupid questions like any other Noob.

1. I have decided to go with Speedmod Kernel to root my phone and use Triangle away later.

a. Will flashing Speedmod (tar version) through Odin wipe my data?

b. Should Triangle away be installed in my phone before I flash the kernel? Or should I just keep the apk in the SD card and install it after I flash the kernel?

c. This is very stupid! After it's done, how will I know if my phone is rooted?

Please answer my cliched questions inline!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
A. Flashing kernels will not wipe your data, However you should do a full wipe AFTER the kernel flash but BEFORE the ROM flash - Just to prevent any old ROM files being carried over (Its always good to start a fresh :))

B. You can install triangle away at any time, Its a good idea to keep the app on your sd card too :good:

C. You will know its rooted when, You boot up the phone and see SU / SuperUser app.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Was the option in Aroma ? If so you could reflash the ROM but skip that part during the install.

Im sure its possible to remove without re flashing but I dont know where in the ROM it would be located. If you could find out you could most probably just delete / rename using es file explorer or something

Thanks a ton! I'm done now. I'll keep the flashing custom roms session to a later time. As of now I wanna remove some unwanted bloatware. I have already seen the safe-to-remove apps. My doubt is how exactly do I go about removing them?

Obviously I don't have an option to uninstall in settings>applications>All. Is there an app for this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
You need system appl remover or same other.

Though it is debate, how this helpful.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suhasn46:
Eventually I will go on to a custom rom.

But removing unwanted stuff like g+ and crayon physics (for example) isn't helpful in the sense it frees up space and doesn't use unwated RAM?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YLNdroid:
suhasn46, considering you intend on removing the bloatwares, I would suggest you root your device. Flash SpeedMod kernel via PC ODIN and then use the Triangle Away app as you have previously mentioned. The custom kernel will render your device rooted, upon which you should install Titanium Backup. This app will help you getting rid of the bloatwares!

:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Removing bloatware requires when you need space on it e.g. for update binaries, want to push some mod. Otherwise android have its own mechanism of LMK (low memory killing) , when system requirs more ram it auto kill non using app from memory. If you remove bloatware, that will be filled by other latest using app, if you want to keeo memory free, there is option in stock setting

Setting - development - background process limit - you can set it 3 to 4 that will keep memory free. But again it is debate, whether this actually improve performance or have any effect on battery consumption, b'coz app remain in memory hardly using battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
Titanium backup will remove all unwanted apps but I guess you cannot restore odexed apps using titanium backup, best in my opinion is root explorer or some other file manager with root access, you can cut all unwanted .apk and its .odex files from system/apps folder and can keep them on your memory card for future restore.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSlim79:
Note that changing CSC will Factory reset your device..

As long as you backed up your data and stuff then I don't think there's anything else needed - switch CSC - Phone will FS and restart..

Not sure if you are on a safe kernel however...

CJSlim79, thank you for your response. I am on a custom Gingerbread firmware and thus I need not worry about bricking my device!

Changing my CSC will perform a factory reset/wipe data, right? I have performed backups using Titanium Backup Pro and an EFS backup using HC-kTool.

As long as my personal data such as images, videos, etc. saved on the Internal SD and External SD do not get affected, I suppose I have no reason to be apprehensive!

Anyways, try flashing the HI v2 with the CM kernel and see if that works for you.I think that the AOKP kernel doesn't support USB MS.It never worked for me even when using vanilla AOKP ROMs i.e. the original ones....not the modified Asylum ones(although I must say the Asylum ones are better)

Ok guys here goes one more noob question!

I have flashed speedmod k3-13 and removed triangle using triangle away - so all fine. I understand with this kernel I now have CWM recovery. I wanna understand a few things about backup and restore using CWM.

1. What all does CWM back-up? And I assume it is stored in the external SD?

2. If I backup using CWM from rom A and restore in rom B, will it work?

3. With all the hoopla about CWM also not completely safe, is it safe to backup/restore?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YLNdroid:
Hello suhasn46, SpeedMod K3-13 is considered a safe custom kernel which roots your device and thereby gives you ClockWorkMod [CWM] recovery.

To answer your queries point by point -

1. CWM enables you to perform a complete backup of your current firmware and this is known as a Nandroid backup. It is equivalent to a system image on Microsoft Windows.

2. Yes, you can backup and restore across different firmwares but you should avoid restoring system data. The system data is easy to identify using Titanium Backup Pro and will be marked in red colour.

The entries marked in green colour are safe to restore.

3. As I have said earlier, you are on a safe kernel now and thus you should not be bothered about the bricking fiasco. You can perform a factory reset/wipe data using the CWM on the SpeedMod kernel.

I hope this helps.

:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suhasn46:
Thank you! That helped indeed.

I've got a small confusion in point 2 though.

Do you mean the backup taken through CWM (Nandroid backup as said by you) can be restored through TB PRO?

Now I've taken a backup through CWM which is stored in the clockworkmod directory in my internal sd. I've taken another backup of all the user apps and data using TB stored under titanium/backup directory in my internal sd.

I want to do a complete factory reset now. How exactly do I go about restoring my data? I know it's a lot of questions and confusion. :p Please help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
For restoring data titanium is best choice

You shud select this option

'Restoremissing appl with data

after this look for any application, which may you have not installed but was part of system application of previous ROM, in that case deselect it.

If you want to restore

bookmarks, call log, contacts, SMS you will find yellow colored backup. restiore that only, but avoid anything in red color.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
No,Nandroid backups will not be restored by TB

Nandroid backup saves the whole firmware together(Imagine saving a car)

TB will save the steering wheel,windshield etc(i.re. the apps and data)

In this case app+data is not equal to full firmware.Nandroid backups can only be restored through AbyssRecovery or CWM.

For restoring apps and data, just batch restore all the user apps+data.Its not recommended to restore system data as this may cause trouble(Imagine a BMW car with a Ferrari steering wheel) and will probably create Force Close problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Just in case...

Newer version of Titanium having ability to restore application from nandroid backup

Titanium Backup - menu - Extract from Nandroid backup

Select backup folder, it will show list of applications backup in Nandroid backup

select to restore from available list.

So still TB can be useful when you need just steering wheel, windshield without full car. :)

3- install paranoidandroid and gapps

4- boot normally and restore the apps using titanium backup
