Paranoid android Cm based ROM should not flash on stock ICS ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ages_devil:
even when i'm using a safe kernel ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
QUestion is not of safe/unsafe kernel.

AFAIK

It should not flashed on ICS based ROM. This should be mentioned there on OP of paranandroid thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ages_devil:
does this mean flashing a GB rom or a kernel only ?

i just thought that having a safe kernel will allow me to flash it from ICS, so flashing from ICS only applies to some TW based roms not CM based roms ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlooke:
Just flash the pre-rooted GB ROM in Dr. Keitans sig. It only takes a minute, then bung whatever you like on. :good:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
It can be kernel (custom, as you need root)

Best way if just follow what phlooke said above. that is safest way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ages_devil:
thanks.

i will download and flash the pre-rooted GB ROM, and then flash paranoid android or any other rom, last question and sorry for asking so many, if i ever want to change the rom (say from cm9 to rocket rom) then:

- i flash the pre-rooted GB rom using odin from whatever rom i'm running

- flash the rom i want.

i don't have to flash any kernels or anything to the pre-rooted GB rom before flashing new roms ? like abyss kernel for example?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Once you are flashing prerooted GB ROM, no need to flash abyss kernel.

Pre rooted GB ROM is best for switching ROM

hello!

Hello,

Sorry for requesting something that's probably posted a hundred times somewhere but the thing is that i just don't get about it.

I'm running stock 4.0.4 which i updated to yesterday only. I want to root the phone but im too scared of doing something which i shouldn't.

the only thing i want to do after rooting is to uninstall the apps i don't like and underclock it to pull out some extra battery backup.

hundreds of threads on rooting are available but are filled with so many technical slangs and codewords that i just don't get them.

can somebody please direct me to the easiest way (i found the CWM root guide by Dr.Ketan to be the easiest) to root and then underclock my note without affecting it adversely?

Thanks and apologies for the long post.

(i posted this in the India thread aswell, guess it wasnt right to do that, so posting here, thanks!)

Flashing custom kernel using pc odin is safest and the only way to root note on ics.

It depends on the underclock values, extreme lower values can have negative results.

Hi! Although i tried searching the forum i couldn't not find what i'm looking for, and I was hoping that here i can get my answer. Is there any "super wipe" zip to flash in order to "really" wipe clean my internal sd card. No...reset doesn't really wipe... you just loose apps and saves...but many folders that were created when i installed them (and with some garbage files in them) are still there. On Galaxy SIII there is such a file...erasing everything on the internal sd card (or internal memory)...even ROM .... so you have to put your "new" rom on the external card. 10x in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
It will recreate again. Try just deleting them manually, even after deleting it will b reappear.

This is android system works like this. If you use applicatiin,some if it uses sd card to save data and thats y it recreate again.

CM9 - Nothing like that.Every video format works.

CM10 - hwcomposer doesn't work, so some video formats will have limited support(i.e. audio may not play with sw decoder active etc)

i know this is completely nooby of me, so i apologise, but i opened a thread asking for help before seeing this sticky! however here is my question, grateful for any help!

- Hey everyone, this is my first time posting on a forum, everytime ive had a problem ive been able to find the answer to it. However today seems to be the day ive hit a brick wall. Upgraded a couple of weeks ago to ICS 4.0.4 on my uk galaxy note, and like many other users experienced a few bugs. I took it upon myself to downgrade back to gingerbread. I backed up my galaxy note using Kies before the downgrade. The downgrade went okay, had to wipe all data due to issues but i thought this wouldnt be a problem due to the back up i made. However i have now found that i cannot restore for whatever reason (suspect its because of the different firmware).

I tried to extract the SBU file using SSV card extractor to atleast get my contacts work but i had no luck working it.

Please if anyone can help me? Would upgrading back to ICS 4.0.4 allow me to recover files?

Thanks for your time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSlim79:
I assume that as it was made on 4.0.4 you'd need to be on that or at least an ICS Stock to restore, Providing the backup is ok of course..

Did you sync contacts with google ? Then you can just sync your phone again to get your contacts back.Alternatively, upgrade to 4.0.4, restore and this time sync with google so you don't have problems like these again.

Back to basics ! Good to see this thread and the wonderful ppl here . My noob question

1. If a developer puts his ROM in the dev section are there any rules and regulations that he is bound by.

2. Where can we find tutorials about building ROMs starting from basic .

3. Are we allowed to post any non sense in general and discussion thread or do we need to regulate our conduct , how to contact Mods in case there is an issue.

4. There are two development threads original dev and dev thread. who decides which is original.

5. Also looking for a volunteer from India who has been donating on this forum willing to donate on behalf of me. Obviously I will transfer the money to his account .

Afew questions

1. iam rooted on ics stock 4.0.4 using speedmod kernal, ive yet to flash any rom but if i do can i use netcore v13 kernal or is it best to use abyess 4.2 kernal? or does it not matter.

2. Now since im comming from ics i would need to do a full wipe, does abyess kernal always need to be flashed first or is it the same as above, any safe kernal?

3. Now ive seen many nice roms which have great reviews etc, but im not such a fan of the TW lauchers etc, are their any roms compatible for ICS that use different launchers or will i just have to use free launchers from the market?

SpeedMod OP states that you should use a different Kernel if doing wipes/factory reset

The safest and simplest way for you to change to a different ROM is to flash a Pre-Rooted GB ROM via Odin, reboot into CWM and flash your chosen ROM carrying out all the necessary wipes/resets without worrying about issues with brick bug.

There are loads of ROM's that do not use TW. Look out for CM9 & CM9 based ROM's e.g. Paranoid Android.

Flashing a GB ROM is just the super safe way to go about it, However, On ICS Kernels like SpeedMod and Notecore many users are wiping etc without issue, but as stated in the threads for such, do it at your own risk.. I've not tried so can't confirm.

As for SpeedMod - this is a Custom Kernel, when you install a new ROM , the ROM will come with a custom kernel also, this can be changed if desired, Also there's probably info in the threads about this....

I recently got a Note (n7000) and i'm looking to put a custom rom on it. I have installed custom Roms before on a S2 but I have seen a couple of threads that make it sound a bit more complicated on the Note.

Flash GB firmware via ODIN, The link to the downloads are in my FAQ section (1st page, 2nd post)

OR.... You can download Dr.Ketans Pre-Rooted GB firmware and flash that

Once you have flashed either of them in ODIN, you can boot into recovery and do a full wipe

Then proceed with the PA instructions on the PA thread :)

you wont brick unless you wipe on stock ICS, its safe to wipe 1 billion times over on GB so only wipe once flashed :)

I use ADW Ex launcher on Paranoid Android. I cant tell you every combination is going to work, just try it.

Flashing pre-rooted GB is quick and simple and very safe - the reason is obvious, you are on a Kernel that states wiping/reset may not be safe! :rolleyes:

Don't do it if you don't want to, it's down to how much risk you feel you are prepared to take.

99.99999% of custom ROM's & Kernels are rooted so don't get hung up on speedmod root.

Lastly please start reading the instructions in the OP threads about your ROM's/Kernel's and use the "search this thread" facility, there is always someone who has asked your questions before.

Hey everyone, I'm very new to rooting...just browsed through some of ketan's guides and getting familiar with the jargon. I've never done rooting of any kind before and a bud tipped me to give it a go. I've had my Note for a few months already and have upgraded through OTA Android 4.0.4, kernel DXLR2.

Question is, how do I start rooting? Where do I begin?

From what I've read, I shouldn't root from ICS and should downgrade back to stock GB before following the usual instructions? I'm also worried that my phone will brick because I've done a factory reset in a (futile) attempt to fix the battery drain issue - will this make my phone unsuitable for rooting now?

Appreciate any and all advice...thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YLNdroid:
Hello ztang, first and foremost do not attempt to perform a factory reset/wipe data on the stock Ice Cream Sandwich kernel. I am aware you have done it once and thankfully, your device has not suffered any repercussions.

:fingers-crossed:

The best and easiest method of rooting the stock Ice Cream Sandwich firmware is to flash a safe Ice Cream Sandwich kernel such as GL Notecore or SpeedMod via PC ODIN. After you have successfully done so, head over to the Google Play Store and download Triangle Away. This app will help in getting rid of the dreaded yellow triangle with the exclamation mark.

;)

I urge you to read dr.ketan's guides over again. At first, everything seems daunting and that is understandable because it is your maiden attempt to root your device. If you do not understand a particular aspect after re-reading, do come back with your query.

But it is highly imperative you read. Also, dr.ketan has a rooting video as well. Please do watch that! And do not forget to thank him and the others who will eventually guide and assist you.

:)

I wish you diligent reading and happy rooting/flashing.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Yes you can downgrade to LRG directly with PC odin. Yes it is advisable to first clean cache and data before flashing ROM, but you must have safe kernel for that.

In my listing of ICS ROM, all are non wipe ROMs.

-yes select .tar ROM file for PDA and flash

-correct, no wipe / reset on stock ICS

-I recommend after downgrading to LRG, flash safe kernel.
