Hi Peeps
I see there is no CFroot for this yet, can it be rooted safely with any other methods?
I have done the super one click before but also couldn't find an insecure kernel
for this also?
Thanks
You could flash hardcore's speedmod kernel with kj2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182498
Already rooted and ready to go. Its what I'm currently using.
Root with cfroot for, say,ki8, then flash stock kernel back with cwm app or any of the other kernel flashing apps for root users (since root is really files in /system, root stays, but you do lose the cwm recovery when flashing stock kernel back).
Of course there are probably not many actual kernel changes between the different 2.3.5 offerings, so you could keep running the ki8 kernel on the kj1/2 rom with no noticeable impact.

there is a new root method out there (zergRush) which seems to be independent from what version you are running and be fast and easy.
it wont come with a recovery though and has not been tested on many SGS2 until now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321538
most of you dont understand, for root you have to look the number that is phone not PDA.
thus the newest KJ2 is using XXKI4 Phone thus requires cfroot of XXKI4.
its always like that and its always what users didnt get.
plus doesnt matter what cfroot you use if at the end you want to flash stock kernel, or some other kernel, only if you want to stay, than try to find exact match for just in case thing, otherwise doesnt matter.

Bu11sh1t. You are total wrong!!!
i have rooted using speedmod on kj1 firmware.
however, the cwm app is not available on phone, thought the recovery portion is available if i do volup+power+select.
can anyone share the cwm.apk from cf-root?

Yep, the ones giving themselves root access to download remote code for your phone.
No, really, you're prolly better off to flash a rooted stock kernel such as CF-Root by Chainfire, it's the normal kernel that came with your firmware but root access is added (plus the necessary tools), nothing else. Got no link at hand but a quick forum search should make you find it instantly.
Flash a rooted kernel with odin and your done within minutes.

Thets what i suggest to if flashing a kernel isn't an option (although i prefer flashing a kernel myself). Search it and be sure to tick "Usb debugging mode" on your phone!
I fall into Landorin stated situation in that my stock setup on KC1 wont let me use superoneclick. So looks like flashing a kernel is my only option.

With out a doubt the best way to root your phone is using Chainfire's kernel.
Or you can try gingerbreak also chainfires work. Its meant for 2.2.3 but apparently work fine for 2.2.1 no odin kernel flash needed.

Hi I have an I9000 and I have upgraded the OS to 2.3.5 using the stock firmware from samfirmwares.com I think it is using Odin. The question I have and I have googled it and searched and read this and many other forums is can I root my I9000 without flashing CWM and a customer kernal?
On my 10.1 tab I just have a zip file I drop in root and reboot to the recovery menu and update it and it's done. I want the same for my I9000 (just for Titanium backup and SU) and I want to stay on the stock rom.
Thanks

Nop that isn't possible!
Only way to root 2.3.5 is flashing a custom kernel.

It is not a single-click process but two.
First of all use CF(the least complicated kernel) that applies to JVS to obtain root(from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ) and then flash the stock kernel(from perkas stash-- http://perka.zapto.org ).The result would be your phone has root and only the stock kernel.
Best wishes.
Thanks thats what I wanted I'll do that then. Why do you flash twice though? why CF then perka?
Thanks for your help

Twice because----
1)the CF would root your phone
and since you don't want anything other than the native/original kernel,
2)flash the kernel as suggested.
You could as well not go for the second flash but simply remove the minor tweaks and reboot for them to be removed.
No big deal/difference really.

If you are looking to flash a rom that has step by step instructions on how to install it then follow those, as some roms require different instructions.
But if you want to gain root and CWM and are not sure on what rom you want first what I have said is the easiest way to go
Well that was just what i read on one of the posts, In the OP it just says flash from CWM, Providing you have a safe kernel and root.
My current ROM is LC1 which is one of the unrootable ROMs, and my DLoad for ICS is almost complete !
I think i will just flash ICS then a safe kernel, Then the CleaNote ROM. Im just so scared about the brickbug lol. I will wipe before i update, As GB is safe right ?

ICS flashed fine
Got root and CWM, Just installed Abyss kernel. Now doing a nandroid, Then Im gonna flash CleaNote,
Will avoid the wipe option even tho it says its safe in this kernel, Just not ready to take the risk yet.
Thanks for the advice, Been debating whether to take the plunge all day.
EDIT: spoke to soon, Now Im stuck on Splash screen, Dunno why, The nandroid was successful, But i cannot boot back into recovery now.
Looks like I'll have to flash the ICS again.
Abyss kernel is for gb not for ics. When cleanote said a safe kernel it is speedmod k3-3 or franco r3,r4,r5& r6. They use abyss kernel in wiping data in ics recovery just to be safe and the right step are 1. Flash the abyss kernel 4.2( after that do not wipe or flash your custom rom yet, very important to remember it will superbreak your phone), 2. Go to advanced and find reboot to recovery and click it and do the wiping their, its safe 3. and then you can flash the custom rom. In the case of cleanote theirs no need use abyss if you already flash speedmod or franco kernel in your ics before flashing the cleanote rom because cleanote 1.02 will automatically wipe your data.
Thanks man !! I'll get the hang of this one day
Im on rooted stock ICS now, With CF Kernel, So I just need to flash speedmod kernel( I loved their kernels & ROMs on the SGS1) reboot recovery, Then install CleaNote ?
I almost got it right lol
After flashing speedmod k3-3 click REBOOT SYSTEM NOW(get out of the recovery first) then check in the setting if you really have the speedmod kernel in your system running to be sure and enter recovery again and flash the cleanote rom, thats it.
Hi,
I know there are dozens of threads around about flashing Custom ROMS on the Note, but I have specific requirements to be met before attempting to flash a ROM on my Note. Its not that I'm new to flashing ROMS, its just that since I know that the Note is the "most vulnerable" device when it comes to the emmc bug, I want to be on the safer side. My Note is just around a month old and I dont want to brick it due to any foolishness from my side warranty in India sucks, In simple words, even if I'm eligible for warranty, I would receive my Note in a scratched, scuffed and abused manner though in a "working" condition, God knows for how long after a freaking month or two. Well, thats warranty here in India. So, as my loss is my loss alone, I created this thread to be safe.
Coming back to the topic, I'm running Stock ICS DDLPA on Speedmod Kernel K3-7 and want to move to Paranoid Android 0.5 which I believe is a CM9 based ROM.
1) As I am on ICS (speedmod kernel k3-7), is it safe to flash a Gingerbread ROM via PC ODIN?
2) If the 1st one is a go, I do not want to increase my binary counter while rooting gingerbread or installing Paranoid. I know about TriangleAway but since it requires the CF Kernel, flashing many kernels(on the NOTE) freaks me out at the moment. So I just want to flash the ROM without any increase in binary counter.
3) In the video guide on installing Paranoid Android, I see that the person goes into CWM recovery in the Gingerbread Kernel and flashes the Paranoid ZIP file and GAPPS and then proceeds to Wipe Data\Factory Reset. But once the paranoid android ZIP file is flashed, isnt he on an ICS kernel? Correct me if I'm wrong.
4) I see that Paranoid Android uses the CM9 kernel. Is it guaranteed Safe to Wipe using this kernel? Does it have the MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled like the speedmod kernels?
5) Last, incase if I ever want to revert back to Stock ICS for any reason, is it safe to flash back to Stock ICS using PC Odin while still on the CM9 Kernel or do I need to flash the Stock Gingerbread first over the existing CM9 kernel?
It would be really helpful if my queries are answered in the same manner as I have asked above.
I have gone through all the warnings and guides here in the forum but none of them seems to specifically satisfy my needs. I would have just flashed away but since its a "NOTE" again, I really want to be on the safer side.
Thanks in advance.
Flash Abyss Kernel.
Reboot in Recovery (under advanced) <= important
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps
Full wipe (factory reset, cache + dalvik cache)

paranoid on android - galaxy note n7000
I'm sorry, all the issues which popped up lately regarding the emmc bug as kept me on stock till now. If that nasty bug wasn't there, this thread wouldn't be there in the first place. I've never run on stock on any of my phones and this is the first time that I've stayed this long on stock. Its not that I'm new to flashing or anything. I've been doing that since the Symbian and WinMo 6.5days. Its just that its a "Note" and I wish to avoid a brick anytime soon.
But why not just ask in the ROM thread. I am sorry, but every day someone opens a thread which could - looking at the very specific needs of everyone - just be handled as a post (in your case in PA by imilka) instead of its own thread.
Nevertheless I am glad to see that you informed yourself.
If you felt better, then install one of the per rooted GB Roms.

Thanks for your quick reply. To be frank, I wanted to hear from you as I've seen all your guides.
My question no2 is not about flashing stock rom but will rooting the stock gingerbread with custom recovery raise counter? I do not want to increase the binary count. Would flashing the above mentioned AbyssKernel also do the job?
If you follow my guides to root gingerbread it won't raise counter. In my guide i have never mentioned any procedure which can raise counter.
Just one suggetion, if you want to flash gingerbread as only for switching purpose, then go with prerooted rom(find from my signature) and flash using pc odin. After flashing you will have gb rom +root+cwm

There's a galaxy note website, not sure I should mention it or not, where the guy uses abyss 4.2 all the time to "safely" flash new ICS roms. He flashes this kernel in recovery and then advance reboots into abyss recovery. Once in recovery he does the dalvik/cache wipes and factory resets before installing an ICS rom. I guess he uses this method as a way to avoid using pc odin to save time.

From what I gather, we can use CWM or TWRP, it just blows the Knox counter and warranty is void. Which is why cf-auto-root can still root, and why u can just throw rom manager on to install cwm (then remove, dont install roms with rom manager). This is only for MK6 (rogers/canadian). I would try a cwm or twrp, and just use cf-auto root to reinstall the stock recovery with odin if you run into problems.

This is only relevant for GE versions 13/14. The latest is GE15. As already explained, just follow steps in 1st post. There is a section called 'Canadian install guide', can't miss it. The fix you flash after the rom is the kernel for our baseband (Step A). Easy as pie. Step B is optional, changes network icons from default to whatever your carrier uses (e.g., 4G to LTE).
I would recommend creating a backup of stock once rooted before flashing custom roms. Not sure if there's ever going to be a fix for resetting knox, but traditionally it was a good idea to have this in case you ever want to revert back to stock and unroot. Also backup EFS to be safe, for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546. I personally had to use an app for that after updating, knox kept preventing me from connecting to the program but that was when OTA was launched, might work for you.
