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.

Relax man. What is this aggression for?
-----
@op AbyssNote is for Gingerbread.
Use only ICS kernels on ICS not even CM9.
Flash stock ICS rom. Root it then flash SpeedMod or NoteCore kernel using HC K-Tool.
id suggest he revert back to stock rom and read a lot before doing any stunts with his phone.

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.

Well I tried cm9 and latest 4.0.4 from Germany... In both I had a screen yellowish tint blinking issue... After flashing stock 4.0.4 I managed to root it via Dr . Ketan method... And also got cwm but cwm won't stick
That said I was looking forward to flash a safe kernel but I was afraid of doing it via cwm because I handle 4.0.4 as non safe (super brick bug infested) so I didn't dare to do so... So with no other option but Odin I didn't want to activate the binary counter because I wanted to return the phone because the yellow screen issue..
In was OMG how can I get rid of this w/o bricking my phone.. Well I have downloaded abyss kernel then momentary flashed cwm and then flashed abyss... When I rebooted the recovery a counter started and freaked me out... I let it count to 10.000 and got tired of it... I thought my phone was dead...
Then I turned it off and did the recovery sequence and it booted into the red cwm(abyss recovery) then wiped everything from there and installed a custom gb rom.
.. Luckily everything went fine and the custom rom booted perfectly.. In fact I'm using it right now checkrom notehd v6 its smooth as hell...
I can not reproduce the yellowish tint here and will try stock gb tomorrow and see if I can get the issue running... I'm worried because if I can't get the issue in gb then I can't claim warranty because it clearly says that I lose it if I change the software and it says the phone comes with android 2.3.6 so that means I'm stuck with gb..
I rebooted into Odin mode to see if something happened to the binary counter..
. And well everything seems fine but but but... I'm really worried about the screen issue as I proved its not hardware issue... How can I claim my warranty?
And wow what a pain in the ass to get rid of 4.0.4 without voiding warranty...

to get back to gb you just have to flash any gb rom through odin... There was not need to go through the custom kernel for downgrade. .also on Ics, as long as you don't factory reset/wipe you are safe from any brick provided you know what you are doing with the phone and what apps you are installing.

Yeah but as there is some roms that performs full wipe or non wipe and I'm not really sure that's the case for the stock roms from sammobile and or if Odin do a factory reset before flashing I was scared as hell
Noone provides clear steps here for doing things... So I followed what seemed more logical... Wich was getting a safe kernel to wipe without increasing the binary counter
Those "how to upgrade" guides should include at least a link for the safest way to "how to downgrade"
Nvm the point it's still the screen issue I want to know why it happens un ics and not in gb at least in this custom rom... I'm on... I want to change my phone but if I can not prove the issue I can not get a replacement

You can get any rom from SAMMOBILE that says "kies" after the version... those are official roms rolled over kies which are always non wipe...
Or you could flash speedmod kernel 3-7 using ODIN, that's a safe kernel (brickbug free), on 4.0.4 and then flash anything you want, no worries about brick...

You could just install any gb rom via Odin and one install get into stock recovery and clean and wipe data and cache is easy
And if you downloaded a rootable gb rom you can simply follow the rooting method as per the sticky and install cm9 from there
And no binary counter

Ever since I aware of the "brick" problem, I have not done a single wipe whenever I need to flash a new ROM. I have not encountered any big problem. :fingers-crossed:
So, for me, is just 2 steps:
1. Flash Abyss kernel.
2. Flash the ROM.
That is it (of course you need get it rooted 1st). The only thing is, 1st boot after flash ROM would take longer to boot up. I did run adb logcat to view the output to make sure the phone is still running/loading though...
So far, Criskelo ROM is the best for me. So I would stick with this ROM for now.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
Caution: I have tried this method with my S3 and successfully flash back to old bootloader XXALEF. But we always have to be careful when flash bootloader. According to sammobile, Samsung updated new bootloader to fix suddend death error of S3. Every update of the manufacture should be better. So I don't advise you to downgrade bootloader back to previous version. JUST ALWAY FLASH AS OUR OWN RISK !
And If you try and successfully please report here and let me know if it works 100% on another S3.
Hey guys,
After flashed stock XXELLA rom or flash new XXELLA bootloader. You can't not flash back to old previous version of bootloader anymore via PC Odin. And after every S3 reboot, it will show red exclamation mark at boot logo and always check flash counter =1 in download mode if you user custom kernel or custom CWM. This is 3 method to flash back to old bootloader:
>>> METHOD 1: You can use Sboot Checker to check which bootloader is backlisted. Then use some basic terminal commands to downgrade your bootloader. This is more simple and safer. Please visit @Odia's topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081748. Credit to him.
>>> METHOD 2: This is the most simple and fast method for lazy guys ! Just download the following .zip file and flash via CWM Recovery. You will be restored to old ICS bootloader XXBLFB. This is download link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36433966&postcount=105. Credit to @fbatti73 he has ported @Odia's command to CWM flashable zip file. So many thanks to @fbatti73 and @Odia.
>>> METHOD 3: This is the first method I've found but far too much work involved and take alot of time. But if you like this' also another choosing:
1. Always backup first, full wipe yor S3 and flash back to lastest stock ICS 4.0.4 rom not included old bootloader in it or you can fash via Mobile Odin and don't care it include a bootloader or not because Mobile Odin doesn't flash bootloader. I''m in Vietnam and I choose this ICS 4.0.4 rom I9300XXBLH1_I9300OLBBLH1_XEV.zip http://www.hotfile.com/dl/166926386/6a0e52a/I9300XXBLH1_I9300OLBBLH1_XEV.zip.html
2. After flashed ICS 4.04 rom don't root or do another work on it, Just check OTA update on S3 by Go to Settings > About device > Software update > Click Update. Let OTA update your S3 to JB 4.1.1. In my case the OTA will update to JB 4.1.1 XXDLJ1 and it takes about 2xx MB size. Yes, it's here. The processing of OTA update from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.1 can break the protect of new bootloader XXELLA . And after OTA updated to JB 4.1.1 you would have the old version of JB 4.1.1 bootloader. In my case it's bootloader XXDLJ1.
3. But although our S3 has old bootloader XXDLJ1 but it's still a JB bootloader version. Every S3 reboot you will still get red exclamation mark and counter =1 if you use custom kernel or custom CWM. To make red exlamation mark and counter =1 disappear totally. You only have to flash back to old ICS version bootloader XXALEF. And now you can flash back to XXALEF bootloader via PC Odin.
4. Just install a custom kernel and a custom CWM Recovery. Wa wa, red exclamation mark and counter =1 have already dissapeared totally.
This is the link of ICS old bootloader XXALEF can flash via Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/?dlruvz9fib6c046

3. But although our S3 has old bootloader XXDLJ1 but it''s still a JB bootloader version. Every S3 reboot you will still get red exlamation mark and counter =1 if you use custom kernel or custom CWM.
4. To make red exlamation mark and counter =1 disappear totally. You only have to flash back to old ICS version bootloader XXALEF. And now you can flash back to XXALEF bootloader via Odin.
5. Just install a custom kernel and a custom CWM Recovery. Wa wa, red exlamation mark and counter =1 have already dissapered totally.
This is the link of ICS old bootloader XXALEF can flash via Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/?dlruvz9fib6c046

Oh, I have tried it with my S3 and successfully flash back to old bootloader. Sorry, I can't make a video. I will add caution in post 1 because always have to be carefully when flash bootloader. You can try as your own risk.

It appear because you use custom kernel or custom CWM with new bootloader.

Go to google play, find app Android System Info. Install and run it you will see current version of your S3's bootloader in System Tab.
SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bootloader changed to XXDLJ1.
Update: Changed to ICS XXALEF.
Thanks a lot!!!
The trick is to download a full fledged ICS firmware of a country that yet no been updated to 4.1.2. After flash, let the OTA update according to that or any country that has not been updated to JB 4.1.2. I downloaded OP's Vietnamese firmware and flashed but chosen India on OTA update. It's a 285.07 MB file.
Voila you are done. The OTA does the trick.
thank you for the information, I'll try
If I flash old nandroid backup from ics, would it flash old bootloader?

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.

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.
