I guess i want to install Darky's v8.0 firmware i just need help getting started.
1.) Do i need to root first?
2.) ClockWorkMod Recovery what do i need to do to get it installed? Just put in on the SD card and go into recovery?
3.) What about SIM locks? The phone is locked to bell.
My phone has Froyo 2.2 JL2 from Bell Canada and in the recovery menu i see 3e which i know needs to be downgraded to 2e.
If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great. I read the tutorials in the samsung vibrant section but since that a different phone then i9000 i dont wanna take any chances.
No you do not need to root first.
Go into the I9000 Android section of the forum's and into the speed mod thread and flash hardcores kernel with Odin using his instructions. This will get you 2e recovery and clockworkmod the program used to install custom roms.
After that download Darkys rom onto your SD reboot your phone into cwm recovery its the default recovery with hardcores kernel and the choose update from SD and select darkys Rom and that's it wait for it to install.
I would provide links and such but I'm currently away from my PC.

can you pint me to the thread please
go here:
Flash a JPx rom using odin then flash this kernel:

It will give you 2e recovery
Then head over to Darky's thread and follow the instructions:

i was reading it all days yesterday both ways. But i can't find a JPx ROM that word work on my bell phone. Dose it matter that its locked? or do i just pick and flash?
You can flash with it locked, just means your phone is still locked after you flash.
If you flash the speedmod kernel, you get 2e (as mentioned earlier), and you also get an option on the recovery menu to root the phone. I suggest rooting, I think you need root to generate your unlock codes.
Download an app from the market called SGS Unlock... This will generate the unlock code for you.
Of course if you're using Bell, don't worry about unlocking. Locking to a carrier as far as i know, will not prevent you from flashing and using other carriers' roms. But then again, it's so darn easy to unlock, why wouldn't you anyways?
why not flash CF-Root v1.3? is it not the same thing and thats what it says to use in Dark'y thread.
So i guess find a JPx ROM use Odin and flash it and then flash the kernel either CF-Root v1.3 or speedmod and then flash Darky's ROM?
EDIT
I just installed the speedmod kernal, do i need to now install clockwork recovery? i think not coz its part of speedmod kernel?
i should really read Samdroid_G_S post

hey! can u update how ur flash went I'm in the same situation here but can't donwload the kernel for now because too many people downloaded it today...
Btw once on this kernel can we flash any Rom or only 2.2 and higher, I read somewhere that JL2 was special has it can't be downgraded.....
thx
1 post!!!!
nah i been messing around with it all day finally had darky 8.1 installed to find it was broken. Just flash hardcore speedmod kernel and then flash darky 8.0 WIPE and then Darky NO WIPE.
Dont delete any cache or anything after you flash to 8.0. From 8.0 just update right away.

I flashed Darky's V7, V7.7 and V8 then went back to JL2 in between each without any problems. I try a lot of different ROMs and always end back at JL2.
Ian
load it up with Darky's v8.0...then flash just the JL2 modem using odin, then flash the speedmod kernel (12M now I believe) using odin or CWM.
Battery life is better than when on voodoo kernel and the JL2 modem makes GPS better (all this on bell's galaxy s of course).
i may go back to the JL2 Modem as well, just gonna test it for a few days. You should install 8.1 NO WIPE as well.
Do you just hit the PDA button in Odin and select modem.bin and then hit start?
Yes you put the jl2 modem file in pda and hit start

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.
[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
James
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...

Really?
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.
Right now I am going to flash back to LQ5 and custom recovery

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?

Yeah I know this. It has a lot to do with other factors like the modem and network that you are on also. Wanamlite is a great ROM too btw. This was just for 4.04 as its not really relevant to 4.03

Just checked now and my screen brightness was the default 70% as it was when I flashed. I haven't changed it because I am currently working on getting the Jkay Toggles and framework translated over to 4.04. I usually have it set to automatic.
Screen on time: 4hours 29m and 44s
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
But you get the jist.
How did I know this was going to turn into critics paradise as per usual? This forum is full of em. I hate CRITICS MORE THAN APPLE!
@ 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?

3 hours screen on at 30-50 brightness can last a full day for me on my current firmware (no wifi, no BT, no gaming).
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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.
hi to all. is anyone having issus with latest DLL7?
what i mean is that i made a clean install of LL7. after rooting with autoroot i installed TWRP 2.3.2.3 cause latest gave me only black screen.
but if i want to update from 2.3.2.3 to 2.3.3.1 it does never boot to recovery bur instead it gives broken Samsung n7100 screen.
it is the same if installing any CWM recovery. so Sammy has made some really weird changes with this update.
any other info. maybe bootloader downgrade just as in S3 thread. Advices
This is a little bit like my problems but I have random reboots instead. They occur almost immediately on a clean XLL7 install flashed from Odin without any root or apps installed.
Everything works perfectly in 4.1.1.
sorry to hear that. but this is nothing like that. to me this looks pretty serious. it seems like plus in security from Sammy.
as for you you can try re-install the stock rom for your phone using Kies.
all you have to do is open kies go to tools- and sellect the 2 or 3 option with your phone not connected.
write GT-N7100 and right after the serial number from your phone, follow instructins on screen.
bear in mind. this will wipe your phone.

I will try that and see what will happen.
Do not flash any recovery !!!!!!!!
They updated the bootloader so it is very dangers to flash untested mods and stuff.

I've flash the last ARHD rom 8.o which have last dll7 firmware and after note2core kernel 2.21 and all works fine. Now I won't install anything else until it's proved working on dll7.

do not worry. he means with stock rom.
in ARHD and other custom roms bootloader is left ou of flash.
anyway. i think that sammy has changed the some partitions. twrp works but only 2.3.2.3
No the roms who are based on dll7 are safe.
The recovery imao needs to be updated.

Do you mean that it is dangerous to flash the CWM recovery to the device when it runs XXDLL7?
I flashed the root and CWM package after flashing XXDLL7 and it seems to work (my random reboot problem is unrelated I guess since it happened even with just stock recovery in place).
Now, I have the new bootloader and radio and flashed BatteryPlus 0.2 from CWM without any problems. I flashed the CWM-root-package through Odin after flashing XXDLL7, also from Odin.
So the question is: is there a problem with CWM and other custom recoveries and the XXDLL7?
Or are we talking about flashing mods?
No it can be an issue. It's not recommended at this stage.

If there is a problem with CWM and XXDLL7, that could perhaps explain my reboot problem in that case.
If so, I will hold off for a while and stay on my current configuration.
I have the new bootloader and radio already.
i have noticed that 4.1.2 isnt so friendly with custom recovery. I had cwm recovery and going into it, took a lot of time with 4.1.2 firmware. Maybe samsung is trying to make some higher security in 4.1.2 against custom recoveries and etc.
If they wanted they could have made it absolutely protected. No I don't think they actually wanted to increase security.
I just think the new bootloader isn't friendly with the old recovery.
