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?
I have a samsung galaxy trend s7392. Since it lags when playing high end games or using heavy apps, I'd like to overclock it. I have already rooted it. It has JB 4.1.2 as stock firmware with samsung touchwiz 4.0. Since it's not a popular model, the developers might not have developed anything yet for it. But since this phone's look, feel, features and stock firmware are a lot similar to more popular models like grand quattro i8552, i9082, etc some of you could know what roms and kernels would work good with it. Please help. I've googled my hands off. Thank you so much.

You might have better luck by going into the i8552 forum and ask a developer there if he knows if it is compatible. They would know the best.

Hi, I also own a Galaxy Trend S7392 and looking for a custom rom. But I couldn't find one. To start developing a new rom, I tried building from AOSP sources. The build was successful, but while flashing it on phone, ODIN reports FAIL as soon as it starts writing system.img. I am unable to figure that out why is it so.
I am looking for some concrete steps so as to compile a ROM for our phone and flash it from AOSP sources specifically. If you have any idea about that, please help.

After successfully building a rom you need to flash the rom from inside of recovery. I'm not sure of the specifics of your rom for flashing. You will need to go to your rom thread for that and read the guids on how to flash it correctly. You will also need a gapps package. goo.im has this. If you built for 4.3 aosp they have the gapps there. If you built for 4.4 you can try these gapps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

My phone is currently using STOCK ROM for my Galaxy Trend. There is no thread dedicated for Galaxy Trend Duos S7392 so there is a little information available at the moment.

OK, but I don't know how to generate the whole ZIP. Moreover,
ODIN requires .tar.md5 package to flash it. This is what I did :
1. Extract STOCK tar.md5 package
2. Replaced system.img with the one I compiled.
3. Repacked tar.md5 package.
4. Used ODIN to flash the tar.md5 package.
5. ODIN reported failed as soon as it started flashing system.img
Further help will be highly appreciated.

You will need to flash the rom from recovery.
First you will need to be rooted. If you don't have that you can find it here at this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494471
You will need to have a cwm recovery. Here is the link to that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552935
Inside of cwm recovery you will need to factory reset/erase data, erase cache and dalvik.
Then flash the rom and gapps packages.
i don't know if your device is locked or not since I do not own this device. This is the best that I could find. I don't know if it works. This advice is for the i8552. Your best bet is to look through these threads to find what you are looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-quattro

1) The phone is rooted. NO issues with that.
2) CWM recovery is not available for my phone. I tried the CWM recovery builder to build image, but the build failed. I tried to build the same manually, but on flashing, I get E:Failed to Verify Signature.

you can remove those bloatwares by just rooting and using root app delete to locate and delete. it will not only free rom but will also make your phone faster since the bloatwares that used to run in the background consuming cpu, battery and ram will have been removed.
Samsung galaxy trend s7392 folks use kingoapp from kingoapp.com to root your phone. it will surely root it. I've upgraded to galaxy i8552 quattro and the two phones are just a copycat of each other. so there are chances a custom rom intended for quattro(more popular of the two) could work on trend.

It's already rooted bro. I have done it on the very first day I bought the device. Still, not all bloatware can be removed by just rooting. So, I think there is a need of optimised ROM like CyanogenMod or any other.

Hey first of all, after rooting you will gain super user access and ofcourse after that you will be able to remove any system app(bloatware).
pls help i also have the same device
I have gt7392 pls help me to put any custom rom available if u get any solution pls share with me.
Thanks in advance
I am also an unhappy user of s7392. It is indeed a laggy phone and to be honest, root (vroot)+ removing any unused application, including play store, hangout and google+ didn't help it too much. Phone is still hanging, lagging and sometimes not showing who is calling or, worst, not ringing at all.
An optimised ROM it will be really grate.

Hi guys
I need some help. First of all, I have some experience flashing stuff. I had a galaxy s2 that I moded before.
Got my note 3, 4 days ago. And I'm already hating the sammy rom. My gps sucks, and tw is lagging a lot. So I was thinking about flashing something better into this badboy. I'm not asking for wich is the better rom. Actually, I feel like a newcomer that cant tell wich kernel or recovery should I flash. I've search a lot trying to understand what to do. On my old S2 I only had to flash philz kernel and from there I just had to flash root and after that I could do w/e I wanted.
So I want to know 3 things:
if there is a similar system since I hate flashing trough odin.
Need someone to point my in the right direction on a kernel (loved dorimax on S2, or apollo)
And what should I do to flash TPRW
I know that maybe I didnt looked hard enough on the forum, but, the information is scattered, I'm going in circles on what to do. I dont care about knox btw, the cellphone is out of warranty.
Thanks for reading
Shadeftw
If you want to flash the custom ROM then you can flash it from any custom recovery, like you said Philz is one, but people generally prefer TWRP for our phones. And as custom ROMs generally come as a zip package you don't really have any option but flashing it from a custom recovery anyway. Odin is good as long as files are in tar format.
I loved the S2, my favourite was the Siyah kernel Anyway, I am using Audax kernel on my phone now, which is good, but you can also look at Arter kernel, its damn stable, and he is a great dev. There is another kernel called Lean, about which I am not really interested. And for ROMs I never move from anything non-TouchWiz based, cause those are the most stable ROMs out there, with least number of bugs and retaining the feature set of a Note phone, little laggy yes, but I can live with that rather than living with a plethora of bugs and other nuisances.
You have got a great phone, enjoy it.

S2 was a really fun phone, loved it until it died. Siyah was really awsome too
I need your help if possible. I'm feeling kind of bad since I dont want to be boring
Could you sugest me:
- A nice 1st time Lolipop ROM so I can get used to flash them
- You mentioned several kernels, what do you consider is the most stable from those.
- How to backup EFS folder (cant find any program or apk that does it, on my S2 I had NVTOOLS)
- A nice root methode (I've looked for a good root method and the one I tried didnt work and I had to flash the original firmware to get things good again.)
If I may ask, can you post links on what versions should I download (LP ROM, kernel and recovery)? Not sure if the forum rules permit it, in any case, PM'me with them if possible. I've got the LTE sm-n9005 version. Would be very thankfull if you could help me out with the basic stuff since I'm really unsure of what to download and what is compatible with(feeling like a total noob here).
Once again thanks for helping me

This, if you would like to use Xposed. If you don't need Xposed then use any stock Odexed ROM, for example this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649176
Now these are the ROMs which are basically stock ROM, with some nifty features added. But if you want a fully featured ROM then use AryaMod, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-tw-lollipop-t2990920
But all Xposed modules won't work with this ROM as it has its own modifications. But otherwise I don't think there is any feature which is lacking in this ROM :laugh: I was a happy user, if it weren't for Xposed I would still be using it I suppose.
- Stock kernel is the most stable man, seriously. But if you are like me who can't live without additional features then try arter, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/arter97-kernel-galaxy-note-3-t3028148
Or try Lean, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488082
- Hold on, I have forgotten about the procedure, I will come back when I remember though.
- Rooting is easy. Flash TWRP, https://twrp.me/ Then flash this SuperSU zip from the recovery (TWRP), https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Thanks! You are awsome!
I'm at work now, so, I cant do this. When I get home I will do it and give you feedback.
Thanks once again.
*EDIT*
Well, I downloaded the recovery file file from TPRW, the thing is, its .img instead of .tar so I cant flash it trough odin. Am I missing something? xD
*Edit 2*
Found out about flashify 10/10
I was not used to this kind of stuff ahah

If you want to flash with Odin then you need this file, .tar one, https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar
I am not sure whether that link will open for you or not, but I just copied the URL.
PS: This is the link to EFS backup by the way, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447342

Thanks for everything. I've managed to root, install recovery and back up EFS. I have a last question. I'm going to use Sammy's ROM for a while, can I use any of those kernels on it?
EDIT: **** me, I decided to install lean kernel to experiment and my ROM didnt booted, so I decided to instal araya xD
So far ive gained root, and made the first custom rom for the galaxy core prime, ill be compiling a custom recovery for this device when i get my linux PC buil environment set up again.
for ANYONE who wants to root use kingroot(not kingoroot)
exactly like superSU but seeing as CF autoroot/framaroot/towleroot dont support this device it will have to do until i release a root method for this device with superSU.
So here goes
ROOT - kingroot(not kingoroot)
RECOVERY - coming soon
CUSTOM ROM - revolutionary core prime(coming soon)
Thank you!!!
Have a core prime and always wanted to check out the Custom ROMs that came out. It's a SD410 so it shouldn't be as hard as if it were an Exynos (I know it is not easy anyways, but at least the Snapdragon makes it a bit easier).
Will read this thread and see what you make!
Thanks and good luck
Me
I would be glad to use custom recovery too ! Thanks

hi for what model of core prime?
I would like a custom rom for the Prime Core also
I have been searching for a recovery and rom. I rooted a while ago with kingroot and now I have trouble with recognizing the charger input. (Same charging issue with nextbook nx7 on diff charger). rebooting usually remedies this. I fear kingroot corrupted my kernel. I would love to replace it with a prerooted kernel.
Btw I'm using the s820c variant galaxy core prime from straight talk. It has the Snapdragon 410 as well.
Sm-g361h??
Does it work for the sm-g361h model??

theres no pre-rooted kernel, i can release an insecure ADBD one if you like that will have to be applied by dd method but that defeats the purpose

yes the root works for all, once i get a working recovery ill make a few recovveries for other variants if i even need to then we will have the wiespread oftions of roms, only thing i lack ATM is a working 64bit linux PC
Thanks for the quick reply Ricky. still looking forward to your finished recovery as well as the rom. Is it cm based, aosp based? This is big news! there is very little support for this phone. good luck in your work.
appreciate your brave work son, for what variation of the phone you gonna make it?

im not a big fan of CM based roms, id rather build a rom from software built for that device and only for it then build from a source that is universal with reduced capabillities
Let me know if I can help. I got root with odin 3.10 but as we are all aware, there aren't many (if any) recoveries and custom roms.

Twrp works to boot into recovery, though I have no idea whether or not flashing a custom rom will brick it. If you want to send me the one you made I can try mounting and see what happens.

Hey....can you please mirror kingroot for me, as opening it with the link you gave is not working (it shows a blank page and written on the top "you don't have permission ti view this")
Can u view this site? http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application

hey mate woul you be able to link me to the recovery you are using? and what device is it built for? the way we can check this is make a full backup in recovery then extract the backup andd see if it has backed up the right partitions, if it has we need to check if its the right format, im sure i read a while ago TWRP backs up with tar and just mounts all partitions and wipes the needed partitions recursively, if that is true we wont have to worry about the format but we will do our research an get this successfully up an running
I didnt actually get twrp installed just the app though I'm js u can still boot into recovery with it. Sorry for the mis lead. I am working on the kernel that shiny side posted up. I'll let u know when I get w it

Hello Friends
I have been searching the internet for days on how to root the Note 5 N9208 dual sim and finally found something that seem stable.
DISCLAIMER: I am by no means taking credit for this root method, I am just sharing what I found because I know how hard the information can be to find on the internet. As you should already know, with flashing there is always a risk so you are always responsible for you own device
1. First you are going to want to enable OEM Unlock and USB debugging in the developer option.
2. Go to Samsung app store and get the CROM service app. (this is needed so you can flash custom roms, on some phones you won't be able to flash anything if you don't do this step)
3. Download Permissive kernel (from xiaolu) for N9208 with auto root: N9208-TW-Root (0909) .tar flash it with Odin3.10.7 (extract tar-file from zip, put it in section and flash AP)
At this point you should now have root, beyond this step will explain how to get TWRP recovery.
4. Official TWRP for Samsung Galaxy Note 5 DUOS you can found here ... (download tar-file, put it in AP section and flash with Odin3.10.7).
This information was accumulated by searching the web. My thanks goes out to all developers who help me to arrive at a root solution. If you, a developer come here and see a violation that I overlooked please inbox me and I will rectify it right away Thanks again
Thanks for the guide. Do you have more information on the kernel?

Sad to say, I didn't find much information on the web about the performance of this kernel. It just showed up as a way to gain root.
Not being about to accumulate any data on the kernel I kinda was back and forth in my mind if I should use it or not. after hours of thinking and really wanted root I decided to give it a go in a all or re-flash moment(nothing).
Turn out to be pretty good with no change in performance vs the stock kernel. Once flashed I saw superSU there installed and ready to go.
Now I was concern about the random reboots I heard about with other kernels but I have been using the phone for 3 days now and I haven't encountered any lags, no reboots, no drop of signals or calls. I have not yet installed any games on my phone so I don't know how it will be with heavy usage of that nature.
If you decide to give this a try please post any findings of abnormalities here. Thank you

i used the same process and files on my 9208 to achieve root. going on 3-days with stock ROM, the root kernel and latest xposed for TW and haven't had one reboot.

That's awesome
I thought xposed for our phone was only possible with Deodexed roms? if this is possible for our Odexed stock rom can you kindly point me into the direction to get this done?

Let us know about any abnormalities you find just in case we have missed something
No problems at all. No reboots or lags.
Nice guide for obtaining root!
I already have rooted my Note 5 using the SpaceX kernel, but as some of you know this kernel has the random reboot issue.
What would be the procedure for me to flash this kernel. Can I just flash over the current SpaceX kernel or would I have to go another route?
Appreciate the help.

Cheers for the quick help! So just Odin flash this kernel directly over my current setup...will get right to it
Flashed the kernel and rebooted...all seems well. Now further testing and hopefully no weird issues like random reboots and/or deep sleep bug.
and We still don't know where it came from ??
but it Works
I seen it on a russian site thats all I know
but it works !!
Indeed...it's all rather strange No dev, no nothing...but it does work :good:
I got 4% battery usage in some 10 hours standby and that's pretty decent in my book.
Performance seems on par with stock kernel. Now for another couple of days of further testing to see if it holds up...(no random reboots and such).
I was at about 6%at 7hrs.....but I have one drive syncing. ..but before I had 15-20%....
and no reboots and I am rooted!!!!

lol yup, there is no data at all on this kernel as far as I can search. one thing I can say for sure is that its doing very well in terms of performance. I play games, listen to music, make calls on both sims, send emails and have dual whatsapp going all day. with all that activity I manage to get 13 hours out of the phone, I plug in at 18%. to me thats good. What do you guys think?
l think we have a rooted in 9208 dual sim that doesnt reboot and works fine
curiousty leads me toWonder Where it came from and whats been done to it
Guys, will this work with the hong kong version (9200)?
