Galaxy Note N7000.
Was running stock ICS-ROM Samsung.
Always wanted to install and use a custom ROM but was always afraid of BRICKS..
But yesterday ended up being sucessfully running CM9.
Steps I undertook were as follows:
1. Installed Samsung Kies.
2. Check for update from Samsung Kies and updated Kies.
3. Connected my phone to Kies and checked if Kies detected the phone properly.
After sucess, exit Kies.
4. Downloaded PC Odin from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=815370&stc=1&d=1323799721
password:samfirmware.com
5. Download pre rooted GingerBread ROM
SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip (thx dr.ketan)
http://d-h.st/HJM
6. Run PC odin
7. Reboot Note in download mode
vol. down+home+power buttons
8. Connect Download mode note to PC
9. PC odin ID:COM turns yellow:
(ALL THE BEST NOW)
10. In PC ODIN
Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time ---> Ticked
Others --> Unticked
10. Click PDA and select the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip you had downloaded.
Click start.
Wait for 10minutes.
Your phone will restart.
11. WOW..!!! now ur on a GB Rom
And its a safe kernel
Now you can play around
Plus already rooted
12. Now to get this GB Rom working
go to recovery mode (vol up + home + power)
clean dalvik cache and wipe data and factory reset
13. Time to install CM9
14. Download
CM9 latest nightly:
http://get.cm/?device=n7000
Googleapps:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
15. Copy these 2 files in the internal SD card anywhere (do not rename)
16. Reboot into recovery mode:
vol up + home + power
17. Flash the 2 files from where you saved them:
"install zip from sd card" option in recovery mode
now flash cm9 file
then flash gapps file
18. DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET
19. Reboot
And wow..
Enter the world of custom ROMS
[[[to switch to another ROM, follow steps 1 to 17, and after that flash the ROM of your choice]]]
Steps 6 and 9
it shud be PC Odin Not Mobile

Yes, you can follow this guide safely. Actually, this is the best guide I've seen so far, I wish I had this one the moment I wanted to start messing around with my phone because I spent more than 48 hours total reading and reading and getting more confused each time.
So go ahead and do it.
And thank you to the OP for putting this up.

And the last one, probably silly question, what CM9 rom is this? Will i have GB or ICS? And if thats GB where can i find safe ICS rom?
Before Galaxy Note, I used to rock HTC Wildfire and didn't wanted to mess around with custom roms because it was just low-end device. Third-party launchers did the job for me when it comes to customization.
When I bought Galaxy Note, I was looking forward to flashing Cyanogenmod or maybe something different (I like Paranoid Android rom and the hybrid mode). I was very disappointed to see that there is a brick bug.
Even though I'm a IT engineer and I have been using computers since Commodore 64, I don't have experience in flashing custom roms so this post is very useful if it's the best way to do it.
Do I have to flash different stock GB before rooting, because I have XXLA6 kernel (baseband: xxla4) and I believe that this version is not directly rootable? Correct me if i'm wrong?
What is the best way to return from custom rom (ie. CM9) to stock GB?
In fact, I've been reading for a good amount of time today but there is just too much information, so sorry for the noobish questions.
I installed rom before 2 days and had similar doubts.
Just want to share what problem I faced :
The mobile should be in ON state when rooting CF I was doing it in OFF download mode

CyanogenMod 9 is based on ICS, CM7 is based on Gingerbread. There wasn't a CM8 because Google never released the source code for Honeycomb.
And what you need is a safe kernel, because the kernel is what sends a erase command to a chip inside the phone and that's when you brick it (I think). That happens when you do a factory reset.
Now, what I always do when I want to change ROMS is to use AbbysNote 4.2 as a safe GB kernel so I can then flash the ROM/Kernel of my choice.
You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424&highlight=abyssnote
So let's say you want to go from CM9 to LiquidSmooth (or pretty much any other), which is the one I use now:
You go to CWM recovery, from there you flash AbyssNote.
Once the flashing is completed, you DO NOT exit CWM, instead you go to "Advanced" and then "Reboot to Recovery" so the phone will restart but it will go directly to CWM again, but now with AbyssNote installed.
AbyssNote has a TOUCH based recovery, so it is easier to use. Don't use the physical power and volume buttons to navigate.
From there you can safely do a factory reset, format cache, format Dalvik, flash a new ROM and Kernel.
AbyssNote will then disappear because it will be overwritten by the new Kernel of your choice. So every time I want to change to a new ROM, I repeat the steps above I haven't had any problems whatsoever.
I hope I'm right with my technicalities, but the procedures the OP and I describe are safe to try as long you follow the exact instructions, so before you try anything, read and re-read and you will be just fine.

Thanks for this great guide! I haven't gotten my Note yet as I just ordered it yesterday but I have been lurking around the forums already and trying to understand how flashing roms and kernels works around here. Like someone already said before some of the guides / threads are 'a little' confusing for newcomers. I was really confused with the brick bug that people were writing about. This thread clarified things a lot for me and I believe it will help many more Note-newbies!
So, new Note community member reporting to duty here! :highfive: It's gonna be pretty neat upgrade considering from what phone I come from. Well, the Huawei at least was great step stone to android world gotta admit. I just got somewhat bored with the not so great custom scene.

Believe me, I know about that thread.
One more question for you. Does flashing abyss kernel bring yellow triangle and raise binary counter? I've heard on one of Zedomax's channels on youtube that he recommends flashing this kernel whenever you need to move from one ROM to another.
Cheers mate!

Dont worry about AbyssNote, is safe in both respects. That's the one I always use to do anything that is flashing related.
If, for some reason, you start seeing that dreaded triangle at boot, you can use TriangleAway from Chainfire on Google Play.

Thanks bro, I appreciate the effort to answer these noobish questions.
I will stay on CM9 (and CM10 when it comes) as long as is stable to use it as a daily driver. I don't like the TW interface and I don't need all that S-Pen stuff and pressure sensitivity. Apps from the Play Store are enough for me (Papyrus for example) so there's no need to stay on stock rom.

I have the brickbug firmware also. So am I correct in assuming that if I follow these directions and flash a different GB rom that I will be okay?
Will flashing this India GB rom change my kernel to a more stable one?
And if I flash this India GB rom will it be able to update to ICS through Kies or OTA?
I'm not new to flashing as I used to rom my EVO a lot... I just haven't done it in about a year and this brickbug mess has me standoff-ish.

If you are on GB already, you just have to root the ROM and flash CWM because the brick bug is present only on ICS kernels. 99% sure.
There are some GB Stock ROMs that you cannot root directly, so it depends.
OTA updates from Samsung to ICS I'm not sure, you should ask someone else. When I got my Note it already had ICS, so I never did an OTA update. I don't use Kies at all.
I was very weary at first too, but with the instructions above you will be fine.

I've followed the guide from OP and now I'm rockin' CM9! No problems at all.
My content on the internal memory was intact (apps data, games data, etc), it's all there and I've flashed Indian ROM and then CM9. Have I made a mistake or what?
Hello xda,
i want to ask you a couple of things about updating my Galaxy S4 to the latest kernel.
My current kernel version is 3.4.5-526212, i want to update it to 3.4.5-768420 (probably the latest, or whatever the latest is)
So, my device is rooted. Would that create any problems?
Also, when updating the kernel, will I lose my apps and stuff like that?
And for the last, can you redirect me to any sites, threads about it? How can I update it?
If you just reply to these questions, it would be great..
Also, I want to update to the latest kernel because my current won't allow me to move apps to sd-card.
Thanks..

Alright, so I won't be losing my apps, right? I don't mind losing them, i can install them all over again thats not really a problem but, i would rather just them to stay then installing them all over again. Anyways, I'll be using Odin right? And as long as I have the right region code and stuff, my phone won't brick right? Or is there a risk? Will it be just like rooting so? I'm sorry that I'm asking too many questions, just new to Android and still tring to understand the way things work..
Hey, I also have a problem. My phone's CSC code says "I9500OJVAMDK", this means my region code is OJV right? Well, here is a problem, I can't seem to find any firmwares for "OJV" region, what can I do now? (The phone came from another country, I have no idea which). Or just help me out with it,
Baseband: I9500XXUAMDK
Build number: DJQ39.I9500XXUAMDK
CP & AP: I9500XXUAMDK
CSC: I9500OJVAMDK
I'm stuck. So what is my region code? Is it OJV? or XX? Or in other terms, can I install any firmware that has XX in it? Help, anyone
Thanks
You can flash rom from any other region without bricking or losing your apps and stuff.
I myself bought a gs4 from PAK region and I have moved between regions to INU & THL. So no worries there.

Couldn't agree more.. Xda really is the greatest smartphone forum.. I'm just glad that i got rid of iPhone.. I'm not even looking back.. Hell, I couldn't even download a small file without jailbreak, even if so, it was really weak... Can't believe some people are still defending iOS over Android, coming with stuff like "iOs is faster, etc. etc..". Just excuses. Well maybe because iOs is easy for their lazy brains. No errors, no problems, no worrys. Well, let them fools do whatever they want, it's their money they are spending, and it's their brain that they are not using.. Android is so much better for me
Hi guys its been a few years since I last had a android phone so am a little out of touch. I have a stock S5 and i am finding that I keep running out of memory when using apps like GOW. Can someone please suggest a ROM that removes all the bloatware and has a low memory footprint?
Thanks all..
Sorry if this is a noob question, but could really use some help.

Thanks mate, this one does look like what I was after! I'll try this one this weekend..
So I have been trying to flash this rom but it does not appear to be working for me and I can't work out what stupid mistake I am doing.
I have copied the ROM to the SD card and then factory reset my phone, then I select "apply update from external storage" browes to the ROM.zip and apply. The phone reboots but it just has the same stock ROM that came with the phone (ie I can still see s-voice etc).
I have downloaded the Modem and Bootloader for my model but have not used ODIN is so long I can't remember how to do it all from there.
From memory it's this:
G900I-DVU1ANG3-BOOTLOADER.tar.md5 -> Bootloader
G900I-DVU1ANG2-MODEM.tar.md5 -> Phone
XtreStoLite_ROM_v1.5_XXU1ANG7.zip -> PIT
CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltedv-smg900i.tar.md5 -> CSC (or is this region code?? can't remember)
Auto Reboot -> Yes
F. Reset Time -> Yes
But I am probably wrong so I am hoping someone can confirm it for me..
My phone already has a recovery, but I can't remember which one (I think I used CF root before)..
You say you're 'stock'.......is that stock ROOTED, or stock UNROOTED?
If UNROOTED, you need to root first, which may or may not trip knox depending on how you do it, then you need to flash a custom recovery (Cwm, twrp or philz) which WILL trip knox, and finally use the custom recovery to flash the rom........

I ahve installed TWRP and it appears to be working. Thanks!
I am proud to present my second custom rom!
This is the first custom stock based ROM for the SM-T807P (Sprint). I don't plan on updating it that much as I don't own the device . I created this with archikitchen and a little help and testers which are down below. Downloading the firmware took me 14 hours to mirror and download+ the custom rom took an extra 4 hours also. That's 18 hours total! Anyway hope you all enjoy this rom as it should be a tad better than stock in my opinion.
Features
-Rooted
-Knox Removed
-Debloated
-Built in busybox

I wouldn't get overexcited about lollipop. Many people who have had it have downgraded, my self included due to issues on my HTC m8..One main one being rapid battery drain, others are incompatibilities with apps. Xposed was incompatible, but that seems to be fixed, however there are still reports of problems.

Factory reset in recovery. Then reboot into download mode. I made a video on how to flash odin roms. Just watch this video I made. https://youtu.be/3KOoyoeozI0
Basically, Just load the T807P firmware in odin, Then hit start. It should get you hback to stock

Hi guys!
My girlfriend is sad user of j5 2015 (6.0.1 stock unrooted) - she have a problem with storage. Well, she just had started playing Hearthstone and she wanted to keep this game on her phone, but unfortunately after clearing everything this game absorbs almost every MB on phone. Even moving this on SD card isn't helping anymore.
Have you guys any tips to me how can i help her? Is there any rom that is very, very light and unbuggy? Like you know... Phone and camera working (selfie girl, you know...).

It would be easier to just root it, and than put every single app to SD Card, unbloat the phone and that is it. I had the same problem, i was having about 400 mb of free storage before root, and now when i am rooted i have 2.5 gb free even though i have a lot of apps. ( Instagram itself is almost 500 mb )
And yes, after you root you can use SD Maid which will help you maintain the storage free. Cheers!

You can flash TWRP, wipe system, data, dalvik etc. Then flash stock 5.1 through ODIN. Then you can flash any light ROM made for Lollipop.
(See ROM Section)
So you guys are telling me that I can easily downgrade to 5.1.1 without any problems? Thats good tip for me.
Also to root this one i need to flash twrp through odin and next flash superSU right?
I'm very thankful guys for help

Yes just flash TWRP using odin, and then flash latest SuperSU and that's it, 5 min work

Although possible, my last experience with a Samsung led me to not try to downgrade. The phone never worked again. Not all phones can be downgrade, and not all firmware. In many cases the possibility of going back is blocked by manufacturers. And maybe in a firmware you can do it and in a newer one you can not.
Many people say that you can do it, so far there has not been a brick case in these models, but that could change in the future. Go carefully.
