Yes roms in the developement section here can all usually be flashed through cwm unless otherwise stated. And I've never needed to unroot, but odin is a windows gui for flashing tar's(which are roms usually official and modems). You use Odin when you want to go back to complete stock, or modems usually. You can do other things with Odin such as flash custom recoveries like cwm. Odin is your bestfriend if you mess something up, always make sure to use a premium blackberry or other thick cable besides the one that came with the phone when using odin.(most people have difficulties with stock cable.)

[Q] paranoid note user wanting to install paranoid android

if you read my last threads you will know i mashed my other note to pieces....
on my desire i would flash roms 3 each week without messing the phone up, so after messing up my note through formatting through cwm while on ics i am a little/lot scared about doing it again..
so i want a little help if you guys would be so kind :laugh:
i dont have the new phone with me right now, but this time i am going to learn how NOT to brake the phone before i start playing with it.
so could you please walk me through this, explain to me as you would explain to a child LOL
so as i understand it, i need to keep to gingerbread then root it, go into recovery and flash the rom from there? do i use the normal phone recovery to do this or do i have to install cwm?
i am a little worried about using cwm again tbh, or can i use mobile odin?
i want to know the easiest way, the most fool proof....
damn i was never this worried with my desire.
your probably thinking "if you are so scared then why bother" right? its just the phone is so damn laggy, even compared to my desire which was built by cave men
cheers for the help guys, asuming i get some ofcourse :fingers-crossed:

Start from a gingerbread rom, then fully root it and install clockworkmod, next boot into recovery(volume up+power+home button together). First flash paranoid android rom then flash gapps, lastly wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache. Reboot and enjoy

Yes, you can flash from one of the supposedly known safe ics kernels to speed the process up BUT if you want to be 100% safe in flashing to any cm9, start with a gingerbread rom.

Cool thanks, I will just do that when the time comes then, for some reason this phone is no where near as laggy as the last one, and I have all my apps I had on the other device plus more....

Welcome back mate, glad you got it sorted

So is it still okay to root through cwm and then use mobile odin? Are there any decent roms out yet that have decent s pen usage?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

I also just received my note from samsung after bricking it with CWM. I am so afraid I might brick it again trying to install paranoid android since I have to wait nearly a month to have my phone back in case anything happen.
Just one question, as long as I'm on paranoid android, can I just format or factory reset my phone through settings or recovery or cwm safely? Thanks a lot.

If you want to install paranoid, its cm based which means no touchwizz apps will work on it as they need the touchwizz framework. That being said, s pen still works fine and there are plenty of alternatives to the s apps (papyrus, memo etc). Also I've read that one of the devs is working on getting the s apps onto cm9 somehow, but not sure who or how its going. Also the cm9 kernel included for the rom is safe from the superbrick bug as its has the cap wlerase command disabled.
PA has a slightly different installation to other roms. I would highly recommend first installing stock rootable gb, root it and install cwm. Once that's in place perform factory reset.
Then download paranoid and g apps and copy them to external SD card.
Then FROM CWM recovery, you flash pa first by "installing zip from SD card", then do the same for g apps straight afterwards.
If you have any fc's or issues, enter back into cwm recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
Boom, ready to go for full on paranoia
Its a truly great rom, very customisable and as ics should be.

Thanks ST, so am I right in thinking if I go the cm route then I don't have to flash the kernel first. It will do it for me? So all I need to do is root it and get a safe kernel?
Is there a free mobile Odin app, I looked on the market but there is only the pro version...

The safe kernel is included in the pa rom, cm9 kernel. So long as you flash it from cwm in gb you're fine it installs it automatically.
Think mobile Odin is only a paid for app... well worth it though. Check the forum, chainfire usually releases free versions to xda community.

A lite version of Mobile Odin can be downloaded from here:

If you asked me. I like the stock firmware not cm9 paranoid. Because you will lose your S-Memo, S-Note and S-Planner and also your myfiles and also the MHL. All of this features are important for me. Paranoid is cool firmware but you will loose this apps...

Cwm

Hi guys,
I'm on samsung stock rom cuz im on holiday. I didn't flash any cf-root kernel. Is there anyway to flash root via stock recovery? After I have root could I flash cwm than?
Remember: I'm on my phone. I haven't got any pc with me!

No

Use this and flash a rooted kernel.

Link works for me, but you need root for SGS kernel flasher, so it won't work.

You have to install twrp to install cm10.1. First download goo manager from the market then open app go to top right a press button and press install the script that will install twrp then it will reboot the tablet into recovery mode.
Backup ROM
Factory reset
Wipe cache
Then install ROM then gapps then press reboot
Post in Q/S next time Thanks

YOu might be better served with the redemption ROM, have you tried that. Its up to 4.1.2 and everything is working properly, good smooth ROM with all the samsung bells and whistles including multi-screen. Not a fan of cyano myself, nothing really gets finished and fully working, usually camera and video - not their fault but I prefer to have a fully working ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950040

I'm currently downloading the Rom you suggested and will see how it works.
Reading up on it sounds pretty stable
So will give feed back

Hi I tried installing Goo but it didn't have a recovery image file for my note N8000 what do you suggest?

Goo Manager wasn't able to find TWRP for me either. I just downloaded and installed it directly from here:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/110

Thanks for that but what I ended up doing after trying to instLl Rom and using cwm and I used the note 2 recovery settings
Well really bad idea. So what happen ws that the note decided to not boot properly. So I had to download recovery cwm recovery. And use Odin to install it on note. Then viola it work. I back up rom and install the rom

Mate, now you've installed CWM, do yourself a favour. Look for the app on here called triangle away. It will reset your flash counter....

Root and install either Clockworkmod or TWRP Recovery following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654
Before flashing any custom ROM or kernel, make a nandroid backup so you can revert back if the changes cause your phone to crash.

before flashing anything, learn about your device and the basics to modding your device first. or youll soon start a "new user, help me i think i bricked my device" thread.

thanks guys.
run through maybe 5 roms now to find one that works with whatsapp and i like !!!!
Hahaha

They should all work with whatsapp as far as I know. As for liking the ROM that's completely subjective of course. Personally I doubt I could find a ROM that I actually disliked for this phone since the're mostly minor variations from stock and I like stock as well.
