[Q]Defy+ 2.3.5

So i just bought a defy+ and it has 2.3.5. Stupid carrier.
Well, im trying to find which baseband is using but its not listed in the about phone menu. Is there any other way around?
I want to install a custom rom with 720p, but all there are so many different kernels i have no idea which one to use, or if i even need to flash one. My previous phone was a Xperia X8, you just had to unlock BL, flash kernel and flash rom. Here, theres the SBF files , the nandroid stuff. Are you supposed to use both?
If anyone can recommend me a rom thats not MIUI(i need my drawer ok) or ICS, i would appreciated.
Anyway, i need to know the baseband to see if i can try the soft simunlock.
Here is my build number :4.5.2-51_DFL-50 whatever it means.
ps: i already made a backup with cwm of the stock rom and also rooted my phone.

To flash a sbf you have to download RSD Lite and drivers, here u have the steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537. Then, install the rom u like from recovery. Here u have all Epsylon and Quarx ICS nightlys (ICS, CM9) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100. With Defy+ use gb Kernel.

I just have some questions regarding the kernels. If i install the ICS roms and then i want to go back, which kernel i need to flash to be able to restore my phone using the nandroid backup i made.

None, because when you are doing full backup a copy of a kernel is included.

Then im going to update CWM, make a new backup just in case and start to play a around a bit.
Thanks for the help ^^
ps: is there anything wrong with 2.3.5? just asking because i hardly see any posts related to this android version

2.3.5 is perfectly fine! It's what I use as a base for both CM7.2 and CM9 builds for Gingerbread and it's great! It's rootable and you can even flash down to Froyo if you wish so, there's a special version 6 Froyo sbf in the forums.
If you have any doubts or if anything confuses you, please do ask before trying, that will save you both time and nerves
Full 2.3.5 sbf that I use: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...22_A022_M002_HWp3_WIG148094_Service1FF.sbf.gz
*EDIT* Just read the whole first post You can use Quarx's CM7.2 and CM9 defy+ nightlies on your phone without flashing anything else but the ROM zip and gapps zip (optional, as you know). Both available here - http://quarx2k.ru/

i have one more question regard the defy+,
If i flash the cm7.2 or cm9 builds by Quarx and want to go back, i just need to restore the backup i made with cwm right? or do i really need to get the sbf from my carrier?
is there any difference(flashing a sbf or restoring form nandroid. Not in procedure but in the final result)?

Yep restoring the backup will suffice but if you want to get back your warranty you need to uninstall CWM and any other root apps and unroot your phone. That won't leave any trace of root.
Following are some main differences in flashing nandroid and SBF:
1.) Nandroid backup restores your phone to exact state as it was during backup. SBF gives you back exactly how your phone was when you purchased it. Thus, you still have root and CWM after nandroid whereas your phone is clean as new after SBF(recomended to claim warranty).
2.) SBF flashes almost everything except data partition! Nandroid flashes even the data partition..

Thanks for the help, ill use nandroid until i get back. Besides cwm is easy to remove.
^^

I have a question, I have a stock defy (Bayer, according logcat)..
The android version that it has is 2.2.1 and build version is 3.4.2-107_JDNL-9..
Once I root it and install CWM, can I just flash any rom, like the one you link above or I need to use RSD lite for something before?
I'm sorry for the noob questions but never had a motorola before, always nexus line which has unlocked bootloader..

Yep once you have CWM you can go on with flashing ROMs with ease. You need RSD lite and SBBF only if you soft brick your phone(Very hard!) or want to go back to stock to claim warranty.

Thank you for your help

The latest Gingerbread is XXLC2. Yes, you can flash an ICS Rom, but I'd wait a bit if I were you. You need to learn quite a bit before being able to cope with Beta ICS Roms.

First you need to flash an older Rom so you can successfully root it. THis is how it's done:

There are ways to improve your Note's performance without root, yes. But you won't be able to significantly improve it. Too much bloatware in stock Roms that you cannot successfully remove.

Thanks
Thanks so much for the reply, but i m on 2.36 already, do i need to flash?

I suggest you to stay on LB3 and wait for Official ICS to release. however ICS AOSP ROMs are available Here . Before you flash any AOSP ICS ROM you need to root your device and other all details are available on above linked Development page.

But my phone's model is N7000B, will that affect?

Well, I think flashing ROMs these days is pretty easy. I am no expert but I've had no problems with flashing different ROMs as such and I flash new ROM every week or two. I am currently using Imilka's AOSP, which is generally pure ICS Android. Before this I was using CheckROM HD, great battery life and performance, based on GB.
GB ROMs are a bit easier to flash and have better performance and stability than all these ICS ROMs (apart from Imilka's AOSP, I find it just too good).
Open up the Android Development section for Note, read a few threads thoroughly, decide your ROM and go for it.
Rooting instructions are very well explained by Dr Ketan in his threads. You can't go wrong about it.
To summarize:
1. Flash an older rootable GB ROM through PC Odin.
2. Install ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM). See Dr Ketan's guide.
3. (OPTIONAL) Install Titanium Backup and backup all your apps and their data. (Use batch operations)
4. Boot up into CWM, scroll to backup/restore and create a backup of your current ROM. This is a VERY VERY IMPORTANT step. Just in case anything goes wrong or you're not happy with your new ROM, you can go back to your older, original GB ROM with all your data and settings intact.
5. Choose your ROM.
6. Read it's thread thoroughly, especially the installation instructions. Do just like the creator says. If there's a video, follow it!
7. (OPTIONAL) Restore your data through TB.
8. Enjoy your new ROM.

How to back to GB?

I've the CriskeloROM ICS ZCLP6 and I'm afraid of brick my phone. So I want to go back to GB but I don't know if I'm with i9220 kernel or not or one safe way to go back to GB.
A good tutorial will be good to me and to the others. I know that anything is safe because we don't know the real cause of this, but...
EDIT: There's my phone info:
Model number: GT-N7000
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: N7000XXLP1

So I'm not understanding something. This is a leaked ics, so this is a repack that is dangerous and not recommended to use CWM. So if I flash that ZIP's from CWM don't I'm on the way to brick the phone?
Thanks for the help you are giving to me.

you're wrong, CWM problem is for offical LPY ICS rom germany not for the Leaked rom ICS ZCLP6. You can still use CWM to flash kernel, but DON'T WIPE ANYTHING.
Both of this rom are dangerous, and my advise to you is to revert back to GB rom.

jBroid cleaner is new to me. Should i use it, even though i'm already reverted back to GB ROM and flashed speedmod kernel?

Well, I understant now
Thank you all for the help! I will revert back to GB this night.

is not really necessary to flash kernel cleaner but many of us using it before flashing other kernel

Hi. I've done this and I'm on GB now. But now I have a new question. Because I flash the LP1 ROM, when I go to download mode, it says "Binary: Custom". I supose that was because I flash the I9220 Bootloader.
If I want to reset the flash counter with a Jig to sent the phone to warranty (if I need), probably I need to flash the "samsung oficial" bootloader.
Anyone can explay this better ou help me flashing the original bootloader and leave the phone in warranty again, please?
EDIT: If helps, I have a ROM that I copy from Kies when I upgrade the first time the note with a oficial ROM. If when I flash that, it will install the original bootloader, say the ODIN options and I will flash it.
THanks for any help.

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
install zip

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 ?
Its these conflicting posts what puzzle me lol.

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.

Downgrade CM9 to CM7

If I wanted to install CM7 now, is it as simple as wiping/flashing ROM? Or do I need to flash a different kernel first? (Those instructions had me flash a froyo kernel so...)
