[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

Lol yeah...i only had the phone a fortnight......on contract whoops lol
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...

Creed rom...

good night
Man I installed this rom but gave infinite boot. And I would like to know why.
1: I installed this rom but was with the Repencis rom 3.5 advanced.
2: So I can install this rom creed I need to pass a stock rom and then install only the creed?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using Tapatalk 2

Maybe its not really necessary to revert back to stock rom. Try wiping cache and data. If it doesnot work you must install stock rom.

I think that should works, but be wery carefull. After format system you cant exit from cwm without install system.
For install do all steps from rom theater.

Didn't work

I dont actually understand. What happens when you boot your phone in GB?

It booted like any other phone but if I do a reboot or shutdown then I got a bootloop I can only boot then if I wiped data via stock recovery.
But I tried install CWM that worked
Then I flashed aurora but the only problem is that I cant connect the signal falls down and I keeps saying connecting
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

Try another custom rom, like MIUI.

Didn't work. It think its because of the GB version I installed. I dont know witch one it was but I'm going to try another GB version and see if that was the problem

White rabbit ROM fail to cm10.

hi guys.
I've tried unsuccessfully to install the ROM White Rabbit. Following the instructions, i have installed the kernel, zip files, and then went fail, factory reset and set off for repair.
So I've install SBF files, root, and sdinit, CM10 ROM flash.
the phone is back to normal, except that all calls are completely muted and unable to connect on HSPA network as before.
any suggestions? I need another kernel? please help me, thanks
Sorry for my english!

Network issue: baseband switcher
Muted calls: probably the same issue, but if you cannot fix it, try a system wipe and clean install
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 2

I've tried change the baseband, but no one solve the problem.
I did a full wipe again, and nothing new. Do you suggest a factory reset to the original Motorola version and do all the process since the beginning?
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app

If no baseband works, copy over baseband from stock in which radio works. You should start from beginning, and don't forget system wipe before install cm10
