Just got a galaxy note.... - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Hi fellow "noters" !!!
Just acquired the 16gb version of galaxy note "black/midnight blue" color.
I can see quite a few ROMs for our phone.....
So which ROM are you peeps using ?? and with what kernel/OC/UV settings ?
I guess most of you flashing your ROMs via ODIN or after rooting and via CWM ??
Coz I haven't acquired the USB adapter for yellow triangle removal, still hunting for it...
And for your purposes which custom ROM is most similar to the stock ROM in terms of experience and apps ?

Follow the instructions in the CF-Root thread. I used the zergrush method which installed the root and CWM.
From there you can flash without ever having to worry about the yellow triangle or increases in the counters.

I am using Cassie's XtraLiteRom with AbyssNote 1.4 for kernel.
OC to 1600 although I am still playing around with voltages.
As the previous poster said just do the CF root + CWM. Quick and easy with no yellow triangle.
Not sure with one ROM is closest to stock.

thanks for the info... just hit thanks for that...
I think the xtralite ROM has got too many things stripped over... I want a ROM that offers a good stock experience !

what about this:

[Q] Can I root without custom kernel

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
Brian
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.

KJ2 Rooting (which method?)

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
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?

Simple, Downgrade to a older GB using PC odinthe rom must be one of the 'root able' roms found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Then once you have downgraded use this method to gain root and cwm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 (scroll to the bottom of the op)
Thanks man, But on another thread (CleaNote ROM) it says this:
Flash STOCK ICS with PC odin
boot the rom
reboot to dowload mode
flash CF kernel
reboot rom
copy CleaNote ROM zip to phone
reboot to CWM

Do i have to do that ^^ Or can i just root my current stock GB ROM + Add CWM, Then flash Abyss Kernel, Then flash the ROM of my choice ?

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.

[UPdated]4.04 LPM danger -> move to LQ5 Kernel [info]& How to screen capture in 4.04

[UPdated]4.04 LPM danger -> move to LQ5 Kernel [info]& How to screen capture in 4.04
Update: Please install a custom recovery if you are running any of the 4.04 kernels. LPM KERNELS ARE MORE AT RISK!!!
I reverted back to LQ5 yesterday because of the issue with Youtube HD not functioning unless I roll back the Youtube version or swap kernels. Aside from that Chainfire has warned me that he will not be releasing and CF-root for LPM because it has an underlying Kernel *possible* brick problem that cannot be alleviated with just updating to custom recovery via CF-Root.
Custom recovery DOES implement a different means of running the wipe factory data reset that *shouldn't* cause a brick. But as per Chainfire's PM we may still be at risk?
http://download.chainfire.eu/202/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5.zip
To check if you are one of these people that may have the eMMC corruption and possible bricking of your S2....check for Chainfires app called Gotbrickbug. Also by chainfire.
Gotbrickbug thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693704
Check to see if you are at risk BEFORE flashing anything.
1day 9hours and 11% discharging. 48% is screen so usage is about right seeming we sleep half the time LOL Me a bit more so than most others haha. Damn Narcolepsy

Screen capture method for 4.04 ICS Samsung is now long press button then long press home button; and in that order too. Not power and volume down like on 4.03.
Either use these and or wait for my ROM to be released via Darky if you are not confident.
Please give all credits to Chainfire for this, without him XDA would not have Root, so be thankful this guy continues to support us all.

You're on LQ5, you may want to ditch the kernel and run with LPM man. Its the wipe script that is in the recovery that will corrupt your eMMC. Not just the stupid .PIT file that it came with + stupid people trying to restore from a custom kernel after the repartition. Both are issues with LQ5.
Attached is the LPM ZImage + CWM apk. Use CWM apk by chainfire to flash the zImage. Then flash this
http://download.chainfire.eu/202/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5.zip
That will give you root and recovery too DO NOT WIPE ON THE CURRENT LQ5 KERNEL!!
Attachments now removed as per Chainfires instructions. For future reference please don't redistribute his CWM app, it gets installed with the CF-root flash anyway.
You seem to be saying that LPM has a safe kernel, while in fact it hasn't. There are even reports of people bricking their s2 by using the official recovery (not cwm) under stock lpm kernel.
Any of the newer firmwares than LQ5 seems to be very dangerous! Russian forums reported many people to have hard bricked their devices also whilst wiping data partition on lwm kernel...
So be aware of any leaked firmwares and only use official ones or those confirmed by chain fire for be working...

Hmmm I may have to look into branching siyah sooner than i expected. He has a lot on his plate atm, so will look into this. I have never built a kernel but afaik its relatively simple. Its the extra features that people want that is the time consumer. Well I would recommend that users flash the recovery that I have given the link to and utilise that.
If that is the case they should be able to run the LQ5 kernel and flash that recovery? I have just contacted chainfire first to give cred which I think a lot of us forget that he is a dev and we all use his work on this forum. Just because its mainstream doesn;t mean it should be forgotten about Anyway I have enquired about the recovery and wipe proceedure compared to the standard recovery wipe proceedure and I will report back here when/if I hear back.

From my understanding its the wipe procedure. So if that is fine on CF-root because of the custom recovery then shouldn't we be encouraging more people to flash CF-root?

Well get off the stock recovery is what I am saying!!! Get off it now!! Your at risk right now. Just cause you flashed it and didn't get the brick doesn't mean you won't. It is when you do a factory data reset that you **could** get a corrupted eMMC. Doesn't mean you will...just means that at the moment you are at risk if you ever do a reset on your phone in recovery.
see the link in my second post to chainfires website. Download that LQ5 CF-root and flash that via Odin.
This adds a custom recovery 5.x to your phone and it should by pass the stock kernel 3e recovery when you boot into it via the CWManager app (this is in the attachment) I will put it in there sepperated now for users like your self that already have LQ5. If you want to boot into recovery you do so via this app only. It will take you to the clockwork recovery console not the standard 3e one that comes with the kernel and firmware.
I hope this all makes sense now?

It was more a note for those that are looking how the standard kernel runs. I know custom kernels run a heap better. I would be on siyah kernel if I could run it but I can't. If you compare kernels custom 4.03 to stock 4.04 you aint really comparing apples with apples are you? I hate apples now so I should change my lingo

@ Jarmezrocks
Which modem are you using dear?
Is CWManager App really needed when cfroot 5.6 has already been flashed via odin?
Below is the procedure I think maybe correct:
I) Flash CF-Root LQ5 5.6 via odin in download mode.
II) Flash LPM Kernel via odin in download mode.
No wipe or factory reset shall be done anywhere.
Is it correct?

I have rooted the LQ5 with CF-Root LQ5 v5.6 via odin & flashed the attached LPM kernel through CWM Manager.It's working fine.
One thing is that when i opened cwm manager after reboot, it says this version should be used with cf-root 5.0. Some features will be disabled.
I don't think it is going to affect anything as it is about the software features.

Flashing Custom ROM on the Note. I have specific needs.

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)
Reboot and enjoy.
To come back to Sammy ICS => PC ODIN

You're the first guy on this forum wanting to flash something with "specific needs". I wish you all the best. Good luck!

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.

2.flashing stock rom.doesn't raise flash counter.
3. B'coz it now running on cm9 kernel which is safe.

Trust me I was just as cautious as you are. But as long as you use a safe kernel, reboot recovery and then perform 3 wipes you will be fine.
I'm pretty sure speedmod is a safe kernel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Good luck!! I go through more roms on my phone then I do underwear haha

If I flash Abyss Kernel using MobileODIN, I wont be able to boot into my existing ICS ROM as it is a gingerbread based kernel, am I right? Then, how do I confirm I'm on Abyss Kernel while in recovery?

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

I used this guide, it's so simple and there are all of the steps including rootable GB rom.

Is there any complications flashing the AbyssKernel instead? Is it safe to flash with MobileODIN? Would it increase binary counter as I'm moving to a Gingerbread based custom kernel from ICS?

1) As I am on ICS (speedmod kernel k3-7), is it safe to flash a Gingerbread ROM via PC ODIN?

Yes.

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.

If it's completely stock, it won't increase your binary counter, also flashing kernels is 100% safe, even with the emmc bug.

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.

No, unless you reboot right after flashing the rom, you're still on whatever kernel you used to flash, also CM9 kernels are safe.
satishp said:
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?

Yes.
satishp said:
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?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, but keep in mind stock ICS has the bug, so unless you're using a different kernel on it (SpeedMod, etc), you're not safe.

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.

Yes you can use it, abyss kernel is GB kernel.
To test if I had the EMMC bricking bug I just flashed a rom. Hahaha.

Thanks a lot for all your support guys. I'm running Paranoid 0.5. The black clipping\crush is worst on the CM9 kernel and its everywhere. even in the UI. It really bothers me.
Could anyone suggest me a Good kernel with the least clipping and also any "Visually Pleasing" ROM (like MIUI) for the note? Paranoid looks mostly stock as its CM9 based but the tablet mode is just brilliant.on the Note. Its like the best of both worlds.
