[Q] Galaxy Note Indian Firmware? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Still haunting for Indian Stock Galaxy Note Firmware...A screen Shot is attach for better understanding.
Image of system information on Purchase...and after purchase...a minor update (KJ9 kernel to KK3 Kernel) are attached for ref.
I updated to KK3 and then rooted and flashed KK1 CF-Root and taken CWM backup.
How could I go back to pure stock. In case I recover from back up ( after all efc and CSC restore using root explorer [backed up earlier]) it will go back to stock however the kernel info will be different...Hope I make devs understand the issue.
There in no where Indian stock firmware available or even CF-Root thread there is no Kj9 or KK3.

You hav backedup after CF root, your backup alreadt contains Root and CF kernel.
Cf root KK1 is same as KK3, as already you have done this.
To go completely back to original stock, you have to follow same procedure by which you hav injected CF kernel. First of all you need is original kernel (i dont know wether available at present) extract that original kernel, get zImage file and CFrootflash, like you did it earlier. Now you have stock firmware n Root
Use zergrush unroot tool to unroot device, then only you will get complete original stock firmware
Read this for further detail

Thanks...I understand the process you mentioned. The only point here is that nowher I have found KJ9 or KK3 ( Original Indian Stock Kernel )...!!!

KJ9 is old, look for KK1 if you get, once you get kk1 again you can update over OTA to get KK3

Galaxy S 2.3.2 Rooting

I desperately need some help.
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (8gb). Here are some details about this phone:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.2
Baseband Version: I9000XXJPK
Build Version: Gingerbread.XWJV1
The thing is, I want to root my phone and install custom ROMs and I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I've tried searching everywhere but I can't seem to find out how to do it. There is no information for 2.3.2!
Apparently, 2.3.2 is a beta version and I have no idea how my phone has Gingerbread.
To check whether my phone was already rooted or not, I installed Titanium Backup and it does not run because it needs "root privileges". So, my phone is not rooted.
Please can someone help me on what I need to do? I'm completely lost and desperately in need of help! A step-by-step guide would go a long way!
Thanking you in advance!
The easiest way to root is via super one click. You need to instal the same. You'll find the link in xda forums.

Yes, firstly you need to read the numerous guides already available in xda.
Secondly an excellent single source for firmwares, guides and pc tools is samfirmware.com
Thirdly, and only after you have done extensive research here you desperately need to update your firmware. You must have bought your phone second hand because 2.3.2 JV1 has never been officially released. It was the first leaked alpha release of gingerbread for SGS several months ago and is VERY experimental. An excellent source for current GB 2.3.3 JVH is Ramad's link here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Best of luck...you've bought a cracking phone and the members here are very helpful (as long as you do your bit and thoroughly familiarise yourself with site content)
Thank you ever so much for the kind help!
I managed to find a website that had a step-by-step guide in very little words (but it was a complete guide) and that has helped me with my problems. I've updated to Android 2.3.3.
Yes, this community is great.
I was the same bit just read the development forums and figured it out

Unfortunately CF root doesn't work well with it but this method does: -
How to root and install busybox:
* Download Odin version of FuguRoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (Remember to thank nikademus for his excellent work!)
* Download and extract the original and untouched Kernel:
XWJVH Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVB Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVA Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XXJVK Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
* Flash zImage-root tar file as PDA with no pit and no re-partition, let the phone boot until it enters charging mode then disconnect the phone.
* Re-enter Download Mode
* Load the extracted original Kernel tar file as PDA only, no pit and no re-partition, connect the phone and flash the original Kernel.
* Done!
Enjoy your SGS.
Supercurio's kernel is excellent too. I rooted via fuguroot which worked fine, but have now flashed supercurio's.

[REQ] Stock kernel file

Is it possible for someone to upload stock kernel file for 2.2.1 XXJPY (kernel version is 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1). Version that is flashable via odin, not cwm version.
I am about to flash my kernel with custom one, but would like to have stock kernel near me, just in case that something goes wrong...
Subquestion is:
is it even possible to reflash to stock kernel via odin once you fot custom one (speedmode to be precise)? I think i read somewhere on forum that it is not entirely possible. Does someone have any expirience with this?
Samfirmware (http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm) has all stock firmwares.
Yes of course you can flash back to stock, you just need to make sure that lagfixes are disabled if you enabled one.
But honestly, I'm 100% sure you won't go back to stock after flashing a custom kernel or rom, it's just that much better.

Thank you very much.
But, as I can see, on this page there are whole roms to flash, I wanted only kernel files. Could kernel be downloaded somewhere?
I'm on stock rom 2.2.1 with CF-root kernel.
Haven't seen a stock only-kernel when I searched for it recently on this forum.
I decided now to download the full stock rom from samfirmware instead which I can go back to in case Kies won't allow me to update to Gingerbread. I figured there's no big difference whether I flash a ROM (which includes the kernel) or just the kernel, the effort is the same.
I just learned that returning to stock ROM (kernel) will be little more difficult for me because my phone is T-mobile branded!
If I flash to a stock firmware does that mean kies will then recognise my firmware as offcial so I can download new updates through it. Thanks

No as its not the firmware that came with the phone nor its Kies update .
As post above only method once you use Odin is either a backed up copy of original firmware and yes a few backed up or spoof fw .

Ok, this is my real problem. JJE might know solution to it...
Before i start flashing my kernel, ROM etc... I would like insurance that if in a couple of months something dies in my SGS, like speaker or something, I can go to repair shop and have guarantiee.
For that I would have to reverse all changes to virginly clean T-mobile branded ROM.
As I understand, to do that i would have to flash it via Odin with 3 files (PDA, PHONE and CSC).
Currently, when I type *#1234# in phone I get:
PDA - I9000BOJS5
PHONE - I9000XXJPY
CSC - I9000GCROJS4
so I presume that are the files version that must be flashed in Odin.
I managed to find all files except CSC code (for Croatian T-mobile 2.2.1 ROM). Couldn't find it anywhere.
Is it possible to put some Multi CSC and then later change it to right one ( I9000GCROJS4) with spooffw?
Or there is another way to find/backup/extract CSC from my current configuration.
Or another way to get back to stock branded ROM if anything goes wrong?
I can do nandroid backup because I cant get to CWM because i dont have 2e recovery (that is one of reasons I want to flash to another kernel, to get 3e and CWM).
Please help!

How to ROOT NG1 firmwares leaving Knox 00

Hi all!
Yesterday I was finally able to root my ITV NG1 firmware (post 3June) manteining Knox 00!!!!
I'have used the genial idea of the mythic _alexndr from Note3 forum and Toweroot!
How to:
1 - download and flash with Odin (in my case ITV) NG1 firmware from Sammobile;
2 - download and install Towerloot - NOT USE NOW;
3 - download (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97141308/p605/NEE-P605XXUCNF2 kernel.rar) and flash 4.4.2 NEE NF2 kernel (this firmware is older than 3 june);
4 - now you are able to root the device as usual with Towelroot (there are a lot of guides on XDA);
5 - download (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97141308/p605/ITV-P605XXUCNG1 kernel.rar) and flash 4.4.2 ITV NG1 kernel.
6 - Check root with RootChecker anch check Knox00 with PhoneInfo;
7 - Enjoy!
IMPORTANT NOTE
Obviously step 5 (as is) is just for the owners of ITV devices, otherwise you need to have the proper kernel.
How to?
1 - Download and unzip (with winrar or 7zip) your firmware
2 - Take BOOT.IMG (that contains the kernel) and use it with this (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97141308/p605/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad (1).zip) wonderful tool by mkk_mourad to prepare the .TAR of your proper kernel.

What device do you have? We only concern with P600. Anything else is easy to root and keep Knox @ 0x0.

I'm speaking about P605 (and i haven't yet read nothing about root on fw dated after 3 june)!
I just want to thanks and confirm this worked flawlessly on my P605 with TPH CNG1 firmware. Thank you!
[Question removed. I just realized trowelroot never worked for P600, not because of the post June 3 Kernel date on the NI1 firmware]
very nice it works perfect

I used the kernel linked to by konroma on my P605XXUCNG1 malaysian firmware set and it worked fine for rooting with towelroot (although I had to re-sign in to my wifi). After rooting I extracted the boot.img from the original (Malaysian) firmware as per the insfructions and flashed that back in, so now I'm back on to latest stock kernel again but with root.

Downgrade ROM for TowelRoot

EDIT* SOLVED* - Solution in post #13 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57050358&postcount=13
Current ROM : KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9
Target ROM: G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXA1ANE2_BTU.zip
Model: SM-G900F
Reason for doing this:
I want root without tripping the KNOX bit, so I must use TowelRoot, but it's incompatible with my current ROM
I would like a ROM for my region (it's a grey import phone)
Can anyone confirm?
Will this flash trip the KNOX bit?
Will there be any issues arising from the fact the ROMs have different regions (one is Netherlands (I think?) target is UK)?
How can I verify that the kernel in "G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXA1ANE2_BTU.zip" is official and signed by Samsung before flashing? I downloaded it from here... http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/29315/G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXA1ANE2_BTU.zip/
I've looked around the forum and I'm confident it will be ok, but I rarely see people flashing different region ROMs. Any help and advice is much appreciated!
Thank you
1- Flash newest rom for your region with odin
2- flash old kernel with odin and then root your phone using towel
3- flash latest kernel with odin

Edit* 1.5. Wait for 600 hours for rapidgator.net's download to finish
2. Flash with odin (version 3.09 from the link on this page http://www.galaxys5update.com/firmware-g900fxxu1ane2-4-4-2-galaxy-s5-sm-g900f/ )

4. Flash kernel from 4.4.2 08.05.2014
5. TowelRoot
6. Flash kernel from 4.4.2 03.07.2014
7. Report back
I hope this works. I'm very concerned about the KNOX bit

You can open rom image with winrar and then extract kernel file (boot.img) and flash it with odin
Is there any way to make sure all the files are signed prior to flashing?
Not mirrors, but these files have the same descriptions and the download is much faster.

I assume there's nothing wrong with using the ones provided on sammobile.com with regards to tripping the KNOX bit?
Hit a snag,
Not sure how to flash 'boot.img'.
Will I get away with just creating a *.tar containing only 'boot.img' using 7zip and then flash with odin?
Anyone?
Finger is on the button
Update: Will gamble and proceed with the technique here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
I read that 7-zip tars are *NOT* compatible with odin (can't confirm).
Ok, everything worked.
But I'm a tool, and as some of you may have noticed I installed the Virgin Mobile ROMs rather than a carrier-free BTU version.
So I'm going to repeat the process and pray that flashing over a rooted OS doesn't trip the KNOX. (Does anyone know if it does or not?)
It's getting late tonight but I'll try and get back tomorrow with a final step-by-step.
Solved! Try at your own risk!
Thanks very much to iNTER5Love for leading me in the right direction!
SM-G900F Only!
As of today I am rooted running a post-June 2014 ROM and my KNOX status is 0x0!
Back story: I live in the UK and I bought a grey import S5 SM-G900F to save some cash (about £150!). It came with a different language and non-UK region specific ROM. I wanted root but my phone had a post-June 2014 ROM so TowelRoot wouldn't work. Keeping KNOX 0x0 was important to me also (this is day 1 and I didn't want to lose the warranty immediately.)
Rant: That said, I refuse to accept rooting voids the warranty. Despite what Samsung say, we are European consumers and we have rights! If root did not directly damage your device and you can prove it (after 6 months) or Sammy can't prove it did (before 6 months) then you have a warranty! Be prepared to fight for it though.
To business:
In my experiments I found that you can feel free to do the following without tripping the KNOX counter:
You can flash a different region ROM as long as it's official (e.g. from SamMobile)
You can root using TowelRoot
You can unroot using SuperSU
You can flash kernels using ODIN (again, as long as they are from official Samsung ROMs)
You can mess up at least once I accidentally flashed a Virgin Mobile ROM instead of a carrier-free ROM. I repeated the steps again and I was fine.
Materials you will need:
Target ROM (the ROM you want to be on when we're done)
Donor ROM (a ROM identical to the target, but with a build date before June 2014)
TowelRoot (for the 0x0 KNOX-safe root) - https://towelroot.com/
tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07 (for preparing the donor and target kernels for flashing) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2446269
ODIN 3.09 - https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek
I've put the steps I took into guide form as follows...
Download the latest version of the ROM you want (Target ROM) AND a version of the target ROM with a build date before June 2014 (Donor ROM). The ROMs MUST be official ROMs released by Samsung (e.g. from SamMobile)
Flash the target ROM. The one I picked was a UK version and I was coming from a Baltic EU ROM.
Factory reset (not essential, but good for clearing residual bloatware)
Copy TowelRoot (https://towelroot.com/) on to your device now! (I found that after the next step the system is very unstable)
Extract 'boot.img' (the kernel) from your donor ROM (using 7-zip)
Create an boot.tar.md5 from the 'boot.img' you just extracted using tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2446269)
Flash the file you just created with ODIN
Install SuperSU (or an SU manager of your choice – Essential to protect you from rogue apps!)
Run TowelRoot
Extract 'boot.img' from your target ROM
Create a boot.tar.md5 (same as before)
Flash the new boot.tar.md5
Finished
You are now effectively running your full Target ROM (we temporarily swapped out the kernel, then swapped it back in). Your system is now fully rooted. Your KNOX counter reads 0x0.
Closing Notes:
I've been researching for at least 6 hours. I've easily missed references, if you think I've used something of yours please PM me!
Please report back so others can benefit from your experience!

I cannot quite think of an appropriate topic name for this but I know what I want to ask.
A long time back with my Note 3 I had everything nice and customised, updating my ROM regularly until the creator stopped and I decided to stick. Now I'd like to go back to a vanilla rooted version of Lollipop so that I can grab Xposed too. I'd also like to update the Baseband and add in a custom kernel along the way. I've not heard of Xposed for Marshmallow and Marshmallow is crippling my Shield K1 even with Nvidia's so-called fixes hence sticking with Lollipop.
O2 have offered me an SGS 6 Edge Plus or an Xperia Z5 Premium with "Lollipop, the latest software" for £49pm, no handset cost and £100 to pay off my Note 3 but for those prices, I'll be keeping my Note 3 past my contract end date
I know my way around the commands and the flashing guides but I've been away from the Note 3 forums for some time and I am aware that certain combinations can require specific steps to backtrack. If anyone could put me on the right path as to which big steps to take to avoid bricking then I can fill in the little gaps myself and get to my end goal I would be very grateful.
The below information should be sufficient to provide a base as to where I am to start with.
Current:
Phone: SM-N9005 (UK SGS Note 3)
ROM: KitKat 4.42 - last ever custom KitKat rom by CRASH (v19)
Baseband: N9005DXUGNK1
Kernel: 3.4.105-leankernel-hlte-3.14 (Dec 2014) #47
Build Number: KOT49H.N9005DXUGNK1
Root Status: Rooted with Xposed
Recovery: PhilZ Touch 6.48.4 (CWM v.6.0.5.0)
go to MultiX thread from @ykari4 and you will have everything you have.........it's not an obligation to update BL or modem but you can even with LP...like me
I am sorry if I wasn't clear in my opening post.
I would like to go from rooted Custom Kitkat to rooted stock Lollipop and update the baseband along the way. I am looking for the proper big steps to do this.

Thanks. I didn't know if I had to roll back in a specific order or whether it would be as straight forward as you've said. I can do that with my eyes closed
