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.

Just got my Galaxy S (bell version)

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.

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
And in a couple of weeks when the internal SD is dead you can collect your $100 credit and get a new one!

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

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

[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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi mate
Can you get into recovery mode to flash another rom ? If not follow one of the rooting guilds in the android dev forums. I had loads of trouble rooting my note and getting everything to work. Don't worry I was in your situation and you can get out of it just have a look at all the rooting guides. In the end from what I remember I flashed via PC Odin a stock pre rooted version of ICS think it was the nordic version i then flashed the rom I wanted through recovery CWM
Hope this helps
Abyssnote is for GB, thats why u cant boot back into ICS. Suggest PC Odin and flash Stock ROM from here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (try different ones of WIFI no-good) plus follow rooting instructions contained therein. If tar file, use Odin, if zip, use Abyss (Just reboot straight back into it)
PS: Dont flash or wipe on stock ICS or CF-Root- ICS Kernels.

@op AbyssNote is for Gingerbread.

Don't panic. Flash any ics kernel such as franco r6 or speedmod k3-6 by using "PC ODIN", then you will be fine.
Bear in mind, if u use pc odin to flash kernel u will get binary count increase and yellow triangle. But don't worry, you can use "move triangle" to reset the binary count to zero and remove the triangle.
Good luck.

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.

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.

1.flashing stock rom with pc odin is safe. Irrespective of rom you are having.
2.flashing stock rom.doesn't raise flash counter.
3. B'coz it now running on cm9 kernel which is safe.
4.yes emmc erase cap driver is.diabled, but.if you talking in terms of 'guaranteed' then even developers also not using this term still on ics
5. my answer 1 hav already answered this.

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

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

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.

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.
