Good choice :p

Go to this thread for all the information you will need & guide to rooting

You do not need to install a custom ROM after... Unless of course you want to unlock the real power of your new Note, in which case flash away :silly:

hi everyone.

I had Galaxy note for sometime now and flashed a couple of roms too. (btw I have asylum cm10 v5 and its great.)

I searched a lot in this forum, but there is still some things I dont understand.

1. what is odex and odexed? or deodexed? all i could find was that some files in system has .odex .

2. what is the difrence between difrent I/O schedulers? I found a nice post that explained diffrente cppu governers, and mentioned the performance wary for diffrent I/O schedulers. but I couldent find any information about it.

3. how much can I overclock gpu? how much can I overvoltage it?

4. why is every new rom I use has an old CWM? can I upgrade to the touch CWM?

thanks, and sorry if made any mistake, english is my second language.

I've been told I should never restore app backups (titanium) in AOSP roms..

Is this true?

I'm planning to try CM10, but I don't want to lose all my app data.

Is this possible?

Oh, one more.

I'm on LRQ with hydracore V4 right now.

Is there a need to downgrade to GB or I can just flash it on the current ROM and kernel?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Nope, you can restore app backups in AOSP roms (i would've gone stark raving mad trying to complete all of my games again !)

The trouble starts when you restore a system app or an app that causes force closing.In that event, simply delete the faulty app.

You can restore user apps without any problems ( read- I've never run into problems while doing so)

Anyways make a nandroid backup before you flash so that you can simply restore if you run into trouble:laugh:

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Yes, you have to downgrade to GB.

It is always safer to go back to GB when you attempt to install a new rom from a Touchwiz based ROM.

It take a few minutes at most....

Oh and you may brick your phone if you try to install a CM 9/10 ROM over a stock ICS kernel so always go back to GB

Note or Note-II

Hi, as you said, noobs will not get any insult here, so I am asking-

I recently hard bricked my 1 year old phone and now planning to buy a note. As samsung started pre-booking for note II, Should I wait for launch of it or Should I go for currently available note. Can anyone point me the differences between the two (If they can).

I know, this is very irrelevant Q but wanna hear some personal voices.. :D Very eager to join your community.

should i be thinking i'm lucky not to have bricked my phone?

i thought i'd encrypt my galaxy note after originally rooting with ICS and Speedmod a week ago, but the first reboot during encryption would not accept my new password and then didn't seem to want to get past boot after turning it off and on. Was able to us PC odin to revert back to gingerbread and start again.

After it had happened i was reading how its a bad idea to encrypt, how you can't flash anything anymore without adb and fastboot?

Hi Guys,

Great site here.

I've been reading up on various things before jumping in and rooting / flashing my Note.

I'm on a de-branded phone here in the UK (orange network) and am on the official 4.0.4 version of ICS that updated automatically through the phone.

I've managed to root my phone using method 1 detailed in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

I've been able to install titanium etc so I can back up my apps. I've also grabbed mobile ODIN and it installed fine and was granted root permission.

So now I want to take the big jump into flashing ROMS onto my phone, so I've gotten hold of CRASH rom and Abyss Kernel (as recommended in the installation instructions.

Now my problem...

I've booted into the standard recovery window and tried to install Abyss (from External sd card) . But I get the Following Error:

E Signature Verification Failed

I Figure at first I must have used the wrong zip file, or the download was broken, so I downloaded again and tried. No luck! So I tried the HydraCore Kernel but again the same error.

:confused:

Have I missed a crucial step here? I've tried searching the forums but haven't had any joy in finding a specific solution.

Any help will be rewarded with many thanks from this noob :D

Ah, ok. Many thanks. I just wanted to check to be on the safe side!

This might be a daft question, but based on azzledazzle's comment about no stock ICS kernel being safe, is there any way of doing the kernel first and then flash GB? Or am I fine to flash GB? That's my only concern now, then I can finally go ahead and get started.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
your fine to flash GB, If you flash the kernel first, Then flash GB it will just overwrite the kernel you just flashed so its pointless really.

And as for no ICS kernel being safe, I mean they are not safe from the brickbug, They are safe to use as a daily driver just not to make full wipes / factory resets on.

GB however is safe and you can do as many full wipes as you want to :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverHeel:
You're the man, azzledazzle. Many thanks for clearing that up for me.

I knew asking if was possible to flash the kernel first and then GB was a daft question, as I figured it'd just be overwritten, but my thinking is I'd rather look daft than be left with a £350 brick! :D

Thank you very much, to you and to Coxeroni. I was worried when I flashed my Note last week, then afterwards I was like "wow, that's it? What was I even worried about?" And I've just been a bit worried again, making sure I understand exactly what needs to be done. I think once I've done it this first time, I'll be a lot more confident and self-efficient. Maybe I'll even be able to help you out and answer some questions in here! ;)

Alright chaps, one last question: I've just flashed my Note via OdinPC and I'm now on GB. (Phew! Longest couple of minutes of my life!) However, I was expecting the phone to boot once flashed and then it'd give me the option to wipe data (all) via recovery, but it just took me to the set-up guide for Android where you sign up an account, select the time, date, etc. Is that right? Do I now need to manually go into recovery myself and wipe data (all)? Just want to double check before I go any further...

Edit 1: Alright. I told a fib, I also have another question: Apparently, my kernel is now 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1 - so do I not have to flash a CWM-kernel, as mentioned in step number four? Sorry! I'm second-guessing everything. Silly brain.

Help to update my Note

Hi!

I just got a Note GT-N7000, it came with GB 2.3 and I updated to an Official ICS 4.0.4 which came from Germany. At the time I didn’t know about the superbrick bug.

I flashed with ODIN, and everything went perfect. Now, I realize about the bug and using the “gotthebug” tool, I confirmed that I have it.

What I like to get help with, is what I have to do to get my device safe. I don’t need a detailed explanation of how to do each step because that I can research it here on the forums, what I’m looking for is a list of steps, to do it in a safe way.

Something like:

Install this, and then install that, etc.

This is what I like to accomplish is:

•	Maintain the ICS version using an official version (preferred option) or cooked stable ROM.

•	Get the device rooted

•	And IF IT’S possible; don’t lose any of the data, apps, and configuration I have at the moment.

Thanks!
