Hi there

Please be gentle .. Im still reading up and trying to make sense of the custom firmware for the N7000 ...

Essentially I would like to get on to a safe, jelly bean release. At the moment Im am 100% stock, and up to date (but have superuser)

The reason Im posting this is, is that I am terrified of the brickbug.

Any pointers will be appreciated .. off to read more threads .. thanks!

Hi people, I am running stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread unrooted ROM. I have held of upgrading due to the EMMC bug. Nevertheless I think that there are a couple of really good ICS ROMs out there that use safe kernels and that would improve my Galaxy Note.

But before starting I still have question. Do I need to unlock the boot loader before I start? I bought a International unbranded Galaxy Note from Amazon Germany.

Thank you all for your help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
No unlocking of bootloader is required, all you need is root and cwm recovery installed to flash custom roms. Since you are on GB so no problem with kernel, so just root, flash CWM recovery and flash custom ics rom including safe kernel.

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

If you have superuser then you are not 100% stock, it means you are on stock rom but rooted (double check root access by using some app which requires root). You said up to date so I will assume you are on ICS, if so, then first of all flash some safe kernel (Speedmod, hydracore or Phil's new kernel for your version), it will install cwmr too and then you will be good enough to flash any custom rom including JB based roms.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlooke:
Best & safest way is for you to drop to pre-rooted GingerBread via ODIN, then try download one of CM10 or Paranoid Android - you can then boot your Note into recovery and flash.

Links to get to GB are in my sig as is a link to PA.

All the other info you need is in the OP/FAQ link in my sig.

Format Internal SD card

Hi, I'm on Crash's ICS v10 with Hydrocore 3.4b kernel.

I want to erase or format the internal sd card, but when I tried it erased my Ext. SD card. from the kernel the only other option was emmc but I not sure this is safe. In the rom I can format USB storage but I'm not sure if this is safe or if it's the internal sd card.

Thanks for any insight on this as the search could not help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
Since it is the same rom so try flashing the update without full wipe, it will retain your apps and data and if you see any lags then re-flash with full wipe. best is to check rom OP/user comments.

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

Formatting from setting/rom is safe as you are on safe kernel, and usb storage is internal but if you are still not sure and don't want any confusion then first remove your external SD and then format the internal SD through setting.

Complete newbie here!

Hi All

Please be patient with me................. am very new to all this flashing/rooting!!

Am running Stock ICS, N7000XXLRK

I have successfully rooted my Note and flashed safe kernel (PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-v2.5), Now I am stuck!

Have backed up with Titanium............

I would like to try a new rom, bloatfree to really speed it up, Also like to try JB Rom, but I havnt got a clue how to pick

which one and safest. (Do i need a particular type of Rom?)

I have been reading lots of threads & posts and still confused (really, really scared of messing up)

1. A lot of roms seem to come with safe kernels but i want to keep using PhilZ-cwm6 do i have to change?

2. Can i pick any rom or does it have to be a XXLRK based rom?

3. Do i put rom on EXT SD Card, boot into CWMR, pick rom and flash from there? Or does it have to be done on a PC?

4. If i have to change kernel, which do i flash first kernel then rom or vice-versa?

5. I have kept the kernel file on My Ext Card (just in case) after flashing rom do i have to keep the rom file on the card?

Lots of appreciation in advance!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlooke:
1. Nope

2. Any

3. Either, once you have decided on a ROM read the OP of the ROM thread which will tell you how to flash

4. No. ROM then Kernel.

5. Doesn't hurt to keep it there.

You might want to install a pre-rooted GingerBread ROM as a base. You can flash any ROM from GB, others have pre-requisites.

Hi

Thanks for the advice,

can you tell me what is the difference between AOKP (ICS) ROMS & TW based ICS ROMS, and is it safe to install either?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFreediver:
What I know is that Tw roms have all the Samsung apps. Like S note, Samsung calendar, that music player, etc. Usually all the stock apps.

While Aokp roms don't have them and they don't work there as well. Maybe their is something else, but this is what I know. Have a good night.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phlooke:
AOKP - Android Open Kang Project

TW - TouchWiz; the proprietary Samsung launcher that comes as standard on stock Samsung ROM's

It's safe to flash either - make sure you follow the instructions properly.

Remember do not perform a Data Wipe/Factory Reset if you have stock ICS ROM installed UNLESS you have a safe kernel installed. As I said before the safest way is to flash (pre-rooted) GingerBread ROM via PC ODIN and move on to another ROM from there.

Hi all again

still a bit confused, i'm beginning to think i would like to use the new hydracore 5.4 kernel, think its more

universal (dunno if im right or wrong here)

Im using PhilZ-cwm6 kernel at the min, can i just put hydracore 5.4 on my card and flash over Philz

or do i need to do any wiping? Cos i relly want to try CyanogenMod 10 or can i just use Philz kernel?

Im to scared to try PC Odin to flash back to GB Rom first!

many thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
Philz kernel is almost stock and is for tw ics roms only. If you want to flash cm rom then it doesnt matters what kernel you are on before flashing cm rom as the kernel will be replaced after flashing the rom, all you need is a safe kernel while flashing, no matter which one. But after flashing cm rom you can flash hydracore if you wish as it is universal and works on all rom bases.

No need to flash gb rom as long as you are on safe kernel.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note ParanoidAndroid Jellybean install issues

Hi All,

I have followed the instructions to get the ParanoidAndroid jellybean rom installed on my Galaxy Note.

It looks to have worked but all I get now is the ParanoidAndroid splashscreen, it doesn't seem to boot up into Android.

The steps I took were:

Install CM9 kernel: Used the thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809459

I did the following steps:

• Open PC Odin, go to PDA field, insert CM9_safe_kernel.tar

• Ensure you have checked only Auto Reboot, F.Reset Time and PDA check boxes, while PDA line contains CM9_safe_kernel.tar file path.

• Boot to download mode (home + power + volume down), confirm the download mode.

• Connect to your USB cable (no hubs, no extensions).

• Check ID:COM filed for COM port to appear and "Connected" in the "Message" area.

• Hit "Start", wait for "Success" message in "Message" area and phone reboots.​

I then did this to get a Rom on there:

Downloaded cm-9.1.0-n7000

Installed through Recovery

Wiped cache

Reboot
​

This seemed to work, all I got when I booted was a CM9 splashscreen though afterwards. (My initial hunch is this bit is where soemthing has gone wrong)

I then followed the steps in the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1871713

So I did the following:

Make sure to run CM9/10 or an AOSP-based ROM : FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK! - You're warned!

CWM: YOU NEED TO FULLWIPE IF YOU ARE COMING FROM ANOTHER ROM

CWM: Install Zip: Rom

CWM: Install Zip: Gapps: http://goo.im/gapps/ (latest gapps-jb)

CWM: Wipe Cache Partition

CWM: Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache​

On reboot, I then get the splashscreen.

I assume I have done something wrong but i'm not sure what.

I know how to reset to stock GB so there isn't any urgency to this, i'm just confused as to what I have done wrong.

Thanks in advance

There could be a lot of reasons. Don't think I can be of much help but still a couple of suggestions:

1) Maybe your backup was broken in the process of copying -> then you can do nothing

2) Maybe you're trying to restore from bad version of cwm -> then there's still a hope. From my experience not all CWM modes restore bkups well. Try flashing abyss 4.2 or speedmod kernel k3-13 before making restore even if you did nandroid under other kernels cwm. I didn't had issues restoring under them.

3) Some Cwm (e.g speedmod k3-13) mix internal and external sd so try advanced restore -> restore from internal maybe file is there

Good luck

Clean install means formatting your whole internal sd card in addition to data\factory reset and usual wipes so that to eliminate all data\folders from old ROM. Also advanced -> format systed & format data in addition to that might be usefull just to be sure.

But basically you don't need that each time you move from GB to ICS. Maybe you won't like ICS who knows (e.g battery life)

Status 7 usually means an assert failed during install when determining what model phone you have. What is your phone model? There are a couple of Note variations and this maybe the cause.

You could try to edit the update-script in the META INF folder, I believe this is where CWM checks that the ROM matches the Phone.

Ok after reading back to the start of your issue, Its a bit weird lol, It seems (to me) that the install of SuperNexus has done something it shouldnt have.

Id suggest to flash ICS or GB via odin, Then after that, Do a full wipe (if on ICS flash Safe kernel, Hydracore i'd recommend ) and start the whole process again.

Hydracore will inject CWM and Root into the device, So just slam a ROM on the sd card and flash it, You should be good to go !

OR.... If you have a recent Nandroid backup, from before the phone broke, Just restore that :)
