Got it. Thanks a lot for the info. I will download the attached GB ROM and flash it then wipe data first before flashing any other ROM. Thanks again! :)

Edit: Sorry forgot to ask, but if I flash ROMs using Odin, does it replace the kernel or only the ROM?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
It will replace rom and kernel both. it's same for both odin and cwm, both rom and kernel will be replaced after flashing new rom, either stock or custom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joey_oggie:
And that applies to flashing using CWM recovery too?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
I guess I read your mind, just edited my previous post before your reply :)

Yes, it applies to cwm recovery too, as I don't think there is any custom rom available without kernel ;)

This thread is great....I'm learning bit by bit but I have a question which I'm sure I know the answer to.

Now that I'm on a custom rom cm9 and cm9 kernal. If I ever want to keep root and try any other rom do I need to flash GB pre root rom and then follow instructions to install rom of choice. Also do you only do the cache dalvic and data wipe after u have flashed new rom?

Am I wrong?? Lol

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] islandmixed:
I did read it also lol...so cm9 is a safe kernal and I can flash and wipe from it. Well thats good. But the wipes always happen after you flash a new rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
You can wipe before flashing new rom too, all customs roms have safe kernel now, check the kernel for the rom you are flashing. If it is safe then you can wipe just after flashing it and if it not safe then flash some safe kernel and then wipe.

the lorbu

Hi guys

My Note is currently using the N7000ZSLA2 kernal which is one the newer GB kernals released (post-ICS I believe).. I'd like to upgrade it to Jellybean by flashing the Asylum JB custom ROM. Since I've never flashed before, I have a few questions.

1. Do I need to root my phone before flashing? If yes, then I should downgrade my phone to pre-rooted GB rom, right?

2. Is this a good flashing tutorial to follow when I flash to Asylum JB? http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...d-phone-with-rom-manager-full-backup-restore/

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlooke:
My preferred method is to use PC Odin.

Drop back to GingerBread using PC Odin to flash, next you copy the custom ROM onto your SD card (internal or external is doesn't matter), reboot the GB ROM to Recovery (use pre-rooted GB with CWM recovery already installed - one of the benefits of using pre-rooted; you dont have to root it!) and flash custom ROM. Now reboot and you're good to go.

1. Download Pre-rooted GB

2. Flash Pre-Rooted GB ROM

3. Copy custom ROM to SD

4. Reboot into recovery

5. Install custom ROM

6. Wipe caches and Factory reset

7. Done

i have a question, right now the safest way to change a rom is by goinf back to the pre-rooted gb rom using pc odin, reboot into recovery, wipe, flash new rom

but i found some saying that if coming from a CM9 based rom then just go into recovery, wipe and flash

others say no just flash abyss kernel and then the rom

is there a guide showing what to do coming from different roms ?

for example, if coming from stock based gb rom do this, if coming from cm9 based do that, if from jb rom do this and so on.

right now i am on paranoidandroid and want to go to allianceROM so i was going to flash the pre-rooted rom, wipe from recovery then flash the new rom, but i was told to flash an ics rom instead of the gb rom, what should i do ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
As long as you are on any safe kernel, you can flash whatever rom you want, no need to downgrade to GB or Abyss kernel, check this for more info.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlooke:
THE safest way and the method that WILL work every time is to simply PC Odin flash Pre-Rooted GB and then move onto what ever your heart desires.

I dont understand why the reluctance to flash GB, it only takes a minute, literally!

I think it's always better to wipe the slate clean when moving to/flashing new ROM.

Dr. Ketan,

I am on speedmod k3-13 now. My question is - if I flash a stock kernel (DDLR6) through mobile odin, will I retain root+cwm?

EDIT: Of course I know it's not safe to wipe on stock kernels. This is just for my knowledge that I'm asking you this.

You may have root but no chance of cwmr, it will be replaced with stock recovery after flashing any stock kernel.

@OverHeel:

Nearly the exact same project I had just these days. I did it like that:

1. Get a three-part pre-rooted GB-ROM. You should find it here in the forum. Advantage: you don't have to root it ;)

2. Grab a suitable CWM-containing kernel (same thread, gotta find it)

3. Flash GB-ROM via OdinPC, wipe data (all) via recovery, boot ROM.

4. Install MobileOdin, flash CWM-kernel you grabbed before.

5. Boot into recovery, flash PA.

6. enjoy.

Maybe someone could approve my steps, but this is how I got it working.

Hi coxeroni42,

Wow, thanks so very much for that, it's really appreciated. And even better that you were in the same boat as I am now only a couple of days ago!

First time of hearing about three-part, pre-root ROM's. You learn something new every day. That will make it so much easier.

I will download "3*Files No-Wipe N7000XXLA6_N7000OXEULA1_XEU Europe (03/02/2012)" and "My kernel with CWM (compiled from Opensource_update2) compatible with any Rom 2.3.6: CWM_4pda_kernel.zip" tonight when I get home for work and I'll give it a go.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Many thanks again.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coxeroni42:
Well in principle you could also just take a normal stock ROM, but to me this was more convenient as it saves one step.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverHeel:
I agree; it's definitely a lot more convenient, especially at the moment since I'm still getting my feet wet.

Are those two sets of files I highlighted the ones you downloaded? I know there were a few CWM-containing kernels listed, but I figured it'd be better to grab the one that's compatible with any 2.3.6 ROM.

Thanks again for your help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coxeroni42:
Yep, should be ok. Afterwards you can then flash a different kernel, when PA is running. I also flashed the CM9 kernel without a problem.

Ok, How are you trying to connect ? WiFi or Mobile Data ?

If its mobile data, check your APN settings are correct and that data is activated, Also check which network you are registered to.

If its wifi, Make sure you input the correct password, Also make sure that both phone and router are running on the same frequency i.e 2.5ghz / 5ghz.

finally, Check you are running the appropriate radio / modem for your region as this can also affect connections.

Too much CONFUSION !! :(

Just flashed the M3dD0g´s LiquidSmooth V3 ROM,

Questions i have about the same & other things as well :P

1. I tried following the steps i coudl not install abyss kernel 4.2, not for this rom not before, Everytime i try it through recovery my phone just shows the boot screen and doesn't go further. Why>?

And should i actually be so adamant on installing Abyss Kernel ? If so, How ?

All i could do was use pull out the battery go to download mode, PC Odin then flash CWM again..

2. I always did a full wipe ONLY with CWM recovery before installing any ROM and then flashed it, unlike how others always said it would crash and get the phone bricked, mine didn't.

3, I used King droid, the Touchwiz Launcher kept crashing after i rebooted once i changed the LCD Density to 240 DPI using ROM Toolbox Pro, and kept doing it so i switched to

M3dD0g´s LiquidSmooth V3.

Couldn't follow Abyss installation as usual.

Now the way he described installing Gapps, i did. And play store always crashes and i cannot update any softwares.

I get messages stating other services also crashing down. So if i open an app after awhile it crashes and says Unfortunately stopped working.

What do i do about this?

4. After the stock ICS flash that i did long back and flashed Rocket ROM i had the Swype option. Started using these ROM's i could never access swype, Do i have to Download it separately ?

5. Can anyone explain all this if you did have time ? I would really appreciate that. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Ok, Are you using Mobile data or WiFi for this ?

1. Its important to follow the flashing instructions properly, However when people tell me to use abyss I dont, I always use speedmod, For ICS & GB, so maybe you can consider using that ?? at your own risk of course :p

2. You *can* get the brick by wiping on the stock ICS kernel, Just because you've successfully wiped so many times doesnt mean your next time will be safe... Some users have bricked their notes after like 30 full wipes ! so always be careful, Its possible that the brickbug can start to take effect long after the wipe, So thats also something to be wary off. Just cause you've done it before doesnt mean you're invincible !

3. Does gapps flash successfully in recovery ? Is there anyone else with the same issues or just you ? it may be a bad download link, look deeper into that and report back.

4. Swype is built in to TouchWiz ROMs, if you are not using a TW ROM you will need to download the swype beta app and follow the instructions on installing it to your phone.

5. Yes i can, and i just did. :p

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
XXX something ?? Thats useful information :p Anyway, Check my FAQ section (2nd post) download ICS which is relevant to your region and then load it into ODIN and connect phone in Download Mode and hit start. You may want to do a full wipe BEFORE upgrading to ICS, also, Flashing stock ICS with ODIN will remove root, So you will have to re-root if you want it back.

ok, which firmware did you flash ? did it match your region ? are you on a safe kernel ? if so try another full wipe along with cache partition and dalvik cache too.

I cant get my head around this one.

It says if you're on ICS, which I am, and you want to go to GB, I should use a Wipe ROM, not a No-Wipe ROM.

Ok, this is the first time I'm rooting/using a custom ROM :)

I've rooted my ICS Note, I've made backup with Titanium... And decided to put the RocketROM

I'm following the xda-forums post of how to do that (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1654838)

Now i'm confused which step I should be following..

Either the one which says

"b1) coming from RocketROM v1 - v5 or other rooted Samsung ICS-Custom-ROM or rooted ICS Stock ROM (No Wipe):"

or the one which says

"b2) coming from other rooted Samsung ICS-Custom-ROM or rooted ICS Stock ROM (FullWipe):"

Currently Mine is the official ICS 4.0.3 Kernel version 3.0.15-N7000DDLP8-CL551076 , Build no IML74K.DDLPA

Thank You for that quick reply :)

1. Kernel's yeah i can try others but i wanted to follow the ones that were stuck with that particular ROM flashing steps..

Yup i tried following all the steps the same way, the only deviation was wherein i could not install Abyss AT ALL EVER. That was what was always making me come back to CWM flashing through PC ODIN. There was no other way as the Android stuck at the screen was just scaring me too much :S

2. NOOOO !!! :eek:

3. It does flash perfectly in recoevery :( I din't find any in the threads search results, And yes I've checked and got the "gapps-ics-20120429-signed".. Tried Latest Gapps with Google Play Store - 3.7.13 just now which I found in the forums. No go just keeps crashing . :(

4. Haww !! Sadd.. I loved the stock Swype :(.. For now i installed the Swype Beta :|

5. Another thing i noticed just now is whatever came with the ROM like the browser and all that force closes .. Can't open any.. DO you suggest re-flashing the same ROM ?

6. Yupp you did ;) Atleast got somethings clear in my head.. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Well you can just wipe in recovery before flashing GB via ODIN, Just make sure your current kernel is safe before wiping.

Well to be on the safe side, Do a full wipe anyway, Make sure you are on a safe kernel before wiping and make sure you have a backup for all your apps and data and whatever else you want to keep.

1. Have you tried flashing abyss kernel through ODIN instead ? Im sure theres an ODIN version somewhere around here. As for why the CWM version wont flash... Well thats just a mystery, Does it give any error codes ? does is successfully flash ? because if it does you cannot just reboot, You have to go to advanced and select 'reboot recovery' .

2. YEEEEEAH !!! :(

3. Which region are you in ? There is a guy above with some market issues, They seem a little hard to figure out so im wondering if its a regional error ?

4. Swype is Swype :) Theres a lot more alternatives too, Check em out.

5. Re-flashing the ROM would be a good start yes ! Did you wipe before flashing your ROM ? have you tried clearing caches too ? Sorry if you've already answered this (or i've already asked) Im losing track of which customer has which issue lol. (could do with some help around here :p)

The reason I ask is, I had preset a few alarms and world clocks while my device was running Cassie's XtraLite ROM X LC1.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DriVAnce:
Hiya, I'm abit noobish, but I want to know which Roms (that are bundled) with a safe kernel. from what I understood that when you flash a rom you get the kernel with it (Not sure? totally unsure) but from what my friend told me that was the case.

If possible would someone point me towards a Fully Working ICS TouchWiz or JellyBean AOKP/AOSP rom (that is fully working) with if possible [most importantly] the S-Note from Galaxy Note.

This phone isn't mine but my mothers (Using S3 myself, which I got 3 days ago)

but the app she uses all the time is the S-Note (which infact I love on the note)

but UI-wise it doesnt really matter as long as the entire phone works (Well, Wi-Fi tethering is a must, but not Bluetooth/USB tethering if it exists in Note)

Since she uses sometimes Xoom 3G for free wi-fi (Unlimited Plan, Compared to our Cellphone plans which are limited on the 3G net)

I can flash stuff w/o problems just can't remember the kernel that was on the Phone neither rom (I know its a touchwiz ICS, and its working w/o problems) but I don't wanna risk anything as its a cellphone without insurance so I Don't wanna risk Brick.

Sorry for these stupids questions but I only found a topic with safe kernels and not safe roms. and I have NEVER bothered with Kernels* (Had DHD before) I know that kernel can boost performance but never cared that much. (not as much as my friend does, but not as little as average-joe)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
If it is your mothers phone, I would recommend trying on CleaNote ROM, It is an entire TW ROM with all the stock features and stock look, But is totally optimised for stability and speed.

I have used it since day one and have tried almost all the ROMs on XDA but always go back to CleaNote !

It comes with NoteCore kernel (Newest version is called HydraCore), It is an incredible kernel with amazing performance and battery life, Its by far the most used / popular Kernel available.

So, What I would suggest to do is:

Download Cleanote + Hydracore

Flash Hydracore kernel either in CWM or ODIN

Boot into recovery (if you flash from CWM just reboot recovery)

Perform 3x wipes (cache, Dalvik, Full wipe / factory reset)

Flash Cleanote ROM

re-flash the hydracore kernel (it isnt included in cleanote v5 yet)

Enjoy :)

Hope this helps ! :good:
