Hi, this might be a very simple question and easy to answer but i just want to make sure i do it correctly as i am flashing CM7 for the first time, I am currently using Stock 2.3.4 rooted with unlocked bootloader.
My first question is that the file i download is update-cm-7.0.3N1-signed.zip, so do i need to rename the file to update or no need when flashing it?
Also with CM7 do i need to root the phone or its already rooted and i will have super user permissions?
Also is there a link where i can download the Google apps all together rather than downloading one at a time.
Thanks.
Hi there, you don't mention what phone you have.
Maybe you should look at the forum specific to your phone and you will find the CM 7 thread contained in the Development section.
All your questions should be answered there.
Hope this helps.
I haven't flashed my note since I first got it so I have totally forgot the procedure, does anyone know a very SIMPLE guide I can use please? Thanks
Go into the Android Development section of the Galaxy Note forum and read the post on how to root. Then after you root find the rom you want to install and usually there are instructions on how to do so. You could also use the search button and type in "how to root"

THIS METHOD IS SEEMS RISKY, AS CWM.ZIP CONTAINS BAD STRING AND CAN DAMAGE DEVICE.
THATS WHY DOWNLOAD LINK IS REMOVED AND VIDEO ALSO NO MORE PUBLIC.

3. How to copy/delete/edit/change permission with Root explorer
Since I'm a newbie at this stuff, just wanted to ask if rooting my Note would erase the data stored in my phone memory?
Also, should i make a backup of all the data incase anything goes bad??
P.S - thanks for the tutorial..
Rooting, doesn't erase anything.
But yes it is always advisable to keep backup of your important data, though you may have limited option to backup on unrooted device. some suggestion
Contact - inbuilt import/export or google sync
Msgs - use SMS restore backup appl
Applications - Non root version of My backup application. though you can backup only app not data of appl like game level, credential etc.
Haha
Classic Music Dr...
Thanks for the suggestions.
One last query. Is it necessary to flash another ROM after rooting the phone? If so, could you please suggest me an easy to use ROM and a tutorial on how to flash it would be really helpful!
P.S - I apologize for being such a newbie but this is the first Android phone I'm using!

In short - No.
No need to flash another ROM once rooted although it's preference. You can happily root your stock ROM and maintain root access which will allow you greater control and of course the ability to run Root only apps.
If you wanted to try out other ROM's, check out the development section, Most ROM's have a video or step by step walkthrough on how to install..
No need to apologise, and if you've not used it already - here's a great thread that should answer a lot of your questions;

Flash custom rom
Hi,
I followed the steps given in the video and was able to root successfully.
Now, Can i directly flash the custom ROMs (for eg. ICS Stunner 1.6.26 which is an ICS ROM) through CWM?
I read a warning that said flashing custom ROMs on ICS kernels can lead to a hard brick and that we need to flash a safe kernel like Abyss Kernel.
Here is a screenshot of my About Phone.

Sorry i do apologize, i did read it that bit, and did not think to apply that to the video as well.
let me see if i got this right:
i've dl'd notecore v13 standard
got pc odin
reboot into download mode
start pc odin, click pda, and select above kernel, wait for it to finish
reboot phone
start triangle away - is this safe to use, the warning was quite alarming?
thanks

I know the original founder of that mod have disabled the link and told us to use the Kingo root,
but since XDA forum banned the kingo root for some whatever reason, I didn't want to use that.
so..
if some of you have the root de vega files for rooting, can u please share it with me?
thank you.
There is a safe way... and a I DON'T care way......that is your choice ....
Google kingo and flash naked ....or Google root for your device and research ... it seems it's not promoted here( nexus forums)sorry mods.
