[GUIDE] Getting ICS +root on your Note. Stable & fully functional. UPDATED.

I thought I would write this guide to help people who are having trouble with getting ICS to work reliably on their Galaxy Note. This guide is fairly beginner friendly but I do recommend that you quickly go through this once before you start. Also, this is a 'risk free' way of trying the ICS leak. You just need to have a nandroid backup from your current clockworkmod (or red-pill recovery) to try this out. If you do not like it, instructions are included on how to restore back to your Ginger Bread ROM. Hit the THANKS button if this helps. Happy Flashing!
Edit. CLICK HERE for my earlier thread demoing ICS on the Note. It has 3 videos that add up to 40 mins.
Edit 2. In case you have any trouble with the ROM and want to get back, I have now included a 'Getting back to your old Ginger Bread ROM' section in the end thanks to chasmodo. I do suggest that you read through for some user reports or better yet, try it yourself!
Edit 3. The guide now includes instructions to get TeamRocketROM ICS and criskelo's ICS ROM. I have had mixed results with these two ROMs. But feel free to try them out and see if they will work well for you. You will HAVE to install the CF repack ICS to be able to install other ICS ROMs. So follow the steps from section (2) until step 10 and choose either Section (4A) or (4B). A shout out to TeamRocket and criskelo. Original Thread for TeamRocketROM and Original Thread for criskeloROM.
Edit 4. MediaFire links for the essential files are now up. They are split into 200mb rar files. You will need WinRAR to extract them.

Section (1) : Requirements.
1) A Galaxy Note, obviously. It HAS TO BE model GT-N7000 (International) and NOT SGH-i717 (AT&T).
2) Samsung Kies, because it includes the latest Samsung drivers. Google it, download and install.
3) Stock GB ROM with a good radio. We are using a KKA for this. It is easily rootable AND it has a great radio. I have also included ODIN for convenience. CLICK HERE. | MIRROR | MF-Part1 | MF-Part2 | MF-Part3
4) Chainfire's CF-Root kernel/clockworkmod for KKA. CLICK HERE. | MIRROR | MF
5) Mobile ODIN Lite and files required to flash ROMs in one pack. OR you can get Mobile ODIN Pro from Market and support Chainfire's efforts. CLICK HERE. | MIRROR | MF
Note. Chainfire is one of the most prolific Android developers/reverse engineers and it will be worth every penny if you donate/buy his apps.
6) Chainfire's ICS repack. This includes CF-root kernel and clockworkmod. Package also includes the google apps zip. CLICK HERE. | MIRROR | MF-Part1 | MF-Part2 | MF-Part3
Check below for additional requirements for TeamRocketROM or criskelo ROM.
////// EXTRA REQs for TeamRocketROM //////
****ONLY IF YOU WANT TEAMROCKETROM******
Edit. MediaFire links are up for RocketROM.
1) TeamRocketROM ICS v1.4 CLICK HERE | MIRROR2
2) TeamRocketROM ICS v1.5 CLICK HERE | MIRROR2 | MIRROR3
3) 15 Button Toggle Bar CLICK HERE *OPTIONAL but recommended* CLICK HERE
Mediafire links (includes all 3 of the above files) :
MF-Part1 | MF-Part2 | MF-Part3 | MF-Part4
NOTE : You NEED to download BOTH v1.4 and v1.5 for installing v1.5.
////// EXTRA REQs for criskelo ICS ROM //////
****ONLY IF YOU WANT CRISKELO ROM******
1) Criskelo's ICS beta 1 ROM CLICK HERE | MIRROR2 | MIRROR3
Section (2) : Chainfire's ICS repack installation.
1) Your current firmware does not matter. It could be stock, stock & rooted, newer stock & ever-rooted, sammobile ICS, whatever. It's OK even if you're in a boot-loop or plain brick. It does not matter. But be prepared to loose all your app data and also maybe the files on the INTERNAL sd of the phone. This is MEANT as a clean, fresh install. Although you will get back most of the essential stuff once you logon to you google account on the new ICS.
2) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ATLEAST 50% CHARGE.
3) Extract the file named " N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_AUT.rar". You will find three files there, .DLL, .TAR.MD5, .ZIP. Extract the zip file. Right click on 'Odin3 v1.85.exe' and click 'Run as administrator'.
4) Now you need to put your phone in Download mode. Turn off your phone if it is on. Hold volume down, home and power together and keep holding them until you see a screen that says Warning on top with a yellow warning symbol. As soon as you see the screen, you need to push the volume UP button to get into download mode. If you miss it, try holding down the three buttons and repeat. The download screen has an android with 'Downloading...' written in the bottom.
5) Now that you are in download mode, go ahead and connect the Note to your computer. If you installed Kies correctly, it will install the drivers for the new hardware and say that the device is ready for use. Now, on the ODIN screen you should see "Added" in the 'Message' window on the left. Now, click the "PDA" button and select the file that ended with .TAR.MD5. Make sure ONLY "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked. Say start and the flashing should begin. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS UNTIL IT IS COMPLETED.
6) Once the flashing ends, your phone will reboot. Give it upto 5 minutes because it is the first boot. If it is stuck in a boot loop (or if things are force closing on the setup screen), hold down volume UP, home and power button together until you get into the recovery menu. Navigate the recovery using volume and home buttons. Now select the "Wipe data/Factory Reset option", select the Yes option and proceed to wipe the phone. Once done, select the reboot option and your phone should turn on now. Do not setup any accounts and just click through the setup screens. Reboot the phone.
7) Now you have a nice clean stock ROM. We will proceed with the rooting now. Go to settings and 'Applications' and enable 'Unknown sources', then go to 'Development' and enable "USB debugging". Now extract the file " InitialCFRootFlasherKKA". You will see a "not-rooted-yet.bat". Right click and run as administrator. Click enter to continue and now it should say "--- STARTING ---" and "found a samsung" and all that. If you get to the part where it tells you that it is going to flash the cf-root kernel too fast, the adb server probably failed to start. So, you need to close the bat file and run it again as admin. If everything goes right you should see the zergRush exploit in action and after some time it will tell you that it will attempt to flash cf-root kernel. Hit enter, it will flash the kernel and reboot. Congratulations, you now have root and clockworkmod.
7b) PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP (optional but recommeded) : Turn your phone off. Hold volume UP, menu and power until you reboot into clockworkmod recovery. Go to 'backup and restore' and select backup. Clockworkmod will now create a nandroid backup of your rooted GB rom. So if you decide to g back to GB or try out different ICS roms, this will be really helpful.
8) Now we need to install Mobile ODIN Lite. Extract the file "Mobile_ODIN_Lite_GTN7000". You will see two apks. Now extract "CF_ICS_REPACK_GAPPS_INCL". You will see a .TAR and .ZIP. DO NOT EXTRACT ANY OF THESE FILES. Transfer all these files to your sd card using USB. You can go to 'Wireless and network' menu in settings and then 'USB utilities' to enable mass storage.
9) Using the included 'My Files' app, navigate to the apks. (Note. If you put your files in the external sd there is a folde called "external_sd" in My Files to take you there.) Install " MobileODINLite-v2.15" and then install " MobileODIN_FlashKernel_N7000-v2.0". Now launch Mobile ODIN. It should ask for su permissions and select "Allow" make sure the "remember" option is checked. Select 'Open file' and navigate to wherever you put the "I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar" file transferred earlier. It should say that it has loaded the file. You will notice the 'Modem' and 'Param' fields are empty, that is fine. Scroll down to 'Flash firmware' and select 'Continue'. Mobile ODIN will boot into recovery and proceed with the flashing. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS UNTIL IT IS COMPLETED.
### OPTIONAL STEP *ONLY* FOR ROCKETROM/CRISKELO-ROM : Once the flashing is complete, it will take you to clockworkmod. Perform a 'wipe data/factory reset'. Reboot. *SKIP TO SECTION 4A/4B* for further instructions.
10) Once the flashing is complete, it will take you to clockworkmod. DO NOT REBOOT. Navigate the recovery using volume and home buttons. Select 'Install zip from sdcard' and then 'choose zip from sdcard', navigate to 'gappsv7.1.zip.' Proceed to install the zip. Navigate back to main menu and select 'wipe data/factory reset' and say yes. Now select 'reboot system now'.
11) You should now have a stable, rooted ICS. BUT we need to get rid of all the bloatware before we can proceed. There is no set up screen. If your screen in all black when it boots up, that is fine. Reboot the phone. Reboot it again, just to be sure. Get Titanium Backup free either with market, or with the apk. You will need to set up your google account before you can download through market. Once you have Titanium Backup, the clean up begins. You will need to enable 'Unknown sources' under 'Security' and 'USB debugging' under 'Development' before you can use Titanium Backup.
12) Launch Titanium Backup it will ask for root and allow it. Click through the popups. Click the Backup/Restore tab. We begin from all the way dowm, so scroll down all the way. You can uninstall an app by clicking on the app and selecting "Un-install !" option. Click OK on any warnings you will see. Below is a list with the apps that I personally like to remove. It includes the "Samsung Hubs" because they mostly serve Chinese content.
Section (3) : The Bloatware list
-Two apps with Chinese characters at the very bottom.
-Zinio
-Youko
-wikiAR
-weibo
-VIVA magazine
-Trim
-TaoBao
-Straight Flush
-Software update (BOTH of them)
-Social Hub (BOTH)

That's it! Restart your Note and you should have a great, fully-functional ICS ROM! This procedure has been thoroughly tested by me and works every time. ALSO scroll down to check out the recommended apps for better functionality.
Section (4A) : TeamRocketROM ICS installation
****THIS SECTION IS TO BE FOLLOWED ONLY IF YOU WANT TEAMROCKETROM******
1) Once you are done with step 10 from Section (2) you should have the CF repack which forms the base for a lot of other ICS ROMs out there. So you absolutely NEED the cf repack running. If you don;t have it, go back to Section (2) and follow steps from 1 through 10.
2) Transfer the files "TeamRocketRom_ICS_Notev1.4_beta", "TeamRocketRom_ICS_Notev1.5_beta" and "Reworked_15ToggleBar_for_TeamRocketROM_v1.5" to you internal or micro sd. DO NOT UNZIP THEM. Turn off your phone and hold down volume UP, menu and power until you boot into clockworkmod recovery.
3) Now you need to perform a full wipe. Select "wipe data/factory reset" and yes. Now select "wipe cache" and select Yes. Go to advanced > Wipe dalvik cahe > Yes. Select back to go back to main menu.
4) Select "install zip from sd card" > choose zip from sd card > now navigate to the "TeamRocketRom_ICS_Notev1.4_beta" file. Remember it is *1.4*. Slect the file and proceed to flashing. After it is done flashing, perform a full wipe like we did in step 3 (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cahe). THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
5) Once you are done performing the full wipe, go back to the main menu and hit "reboot system now". The phone will reboot, give it some time. Once it is up and running, quickly setup your google account.
6) Now turn the phone off and hold voulume UP, menu and power to get into cwm. Select "install zip from sdcard" > choose zip from sd card > now select "TeamRocketRom_ICS_Notev1.5_beta". Remember, THIS TIME IT IS V1.5. After it is done flashing, do not do any wipes. Go back to main menu and reboot the system.
7) Wait till the phone boots, it will take some time. Go settings and about to verify that you are running RocketROM v1.5. Now, for the final part.
8) Turn off your phone and hold down volume UP, menu and power until you boot into clockworkmod recovery. Select "instll zip from sd card" > "choose zip from sd card" > now select the "Reworked_15ToggleBar_for_TeamRocketROM_v1.5" zip file and let install. Once done, don't wipe anything. Go back to main menu and reboot system. Congrats! You are now running TeamRocketROM ICS v1.5.
Section (4B) : criskelo ROM ICS installation
****THIS SECTION IS TO BE FOLLOWED ONLY IF YOU WANT CRISKELO ROM******
1) Once you are done with step 10 from Section (2) you should have the CF repack which forms the base for a lot of other ICS ROMs out there. So you absolutely NEED the cf repack running. If you don;t have it, go back to Section (2) and follow steps from 1 through 10.
2) Transfer the file "CriskeloRomNOTE.vICS-V1-Beta1-MD5-79520216F3E0F9D0DC5F87EB82EBB143" to your internal / micro sd. DO NOT UNZIP. Turn off your phone and hold down volume UP, menu and power until you boot into clockworkmod recovery.
3) Now you need to perform a full wipe. Select "wipe data/factory reset" and yes. Now select "wipe cache" and select Yes. Go to advanced > Wipe dalvik cahe > Yes. Select back to go back to main menu
4) Select "install zip from sd card" > choose zip from sd card > now navigate to "CriskeloRomNOTE.vICS-V1-Beta1-MD5-79520216F3E0F9D0DC5F87EB82EBB143". Select file and proceed with installation.
5) After it is done flashing, perform a full wipe like we did in step 3 (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cahe), just to be sure. Go back to main menu and select reboot system now. Enjoy your criskelo ROM!
Section (5) : Getting back to your old Ginger Bread ROM :
If your having troubles and want to go back to your old GB ROM, this is how you restore. Credits to chasmodo for the instructions.
1. download AbyssNote 3.9 kernel from HERE | MIRROR. It's a flashable zip.
2. put this zip on your SD Card before you try to restore your previous system
3. when you want to restore, power off your phone
4. boot into recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)
5. chose 'install zip from SD Card'
6. navigate to your Abyss kernel zip and flash it
7. go back to the Recovery start menu
8. go to advanced/reboot recovery <--- this will reboot the phone directly to recovery
9. you will discover that you now have Hyperdroid Redpill Recovery - it comes with the Abyss kernel - it's pretty much the same thing as CWMR
10. wipe cache, dalvik, do your factory reset
11. start your restore, and it will work.
Section (6) : Recommended apps
- Go Keyboard - Great, highly customizable keyboard. Includes emoji, touch tone keypad, smileys and themes. Does not lag.
- Nova Launcher - Awesome launcher meant ONLY for ICS. Highly customizable with stock ICS look and feel. Very stable too. Includes persistent search bar, dock pages, etc. Original thread HERE.
- Winamp - Really good music player with great navigation and a good looking widget. Also includes lock-screen integration.
- Airdroid - This app is must have for anyone who want to sync their phone wirelessly over wifi. Free and awesome.
- MX Video - Excellent video player. Essential for this ROM because stock player does not function. Has great gesture controls and plays almost anything you throw at it.
- ROM Manager - ONLY IF you are having trouble with force closing apps and general freezes, get ROM Manager and run 'Fix permissions'. I recommend that you do not mess with any other option on ROM Manager unless you know what you're doing.
Section (7) : Tips, tricks and troubleshooting
-- 14 Button Toggle Bar : This is a very nifty little UI tweak by Chris X.. Original post here. It is basically a really cool looking Notification bar with a lot of toggles. I have included a screenshot below. This tweak also works on criskelo ROM. I haven't tested it with chainfire repack, but you are free to give it a try. CLICK HERE to download.
-- Get stock ICS icons for CF repack (Nova Launcher) :
For ICS icons on your Homescreen, download "Ice Cream Sandwich (theme)" by kovdev from Market. Now go back to your Nova Launcher homescreen, tap and hold the icon you want to change and hit edit. Now click on the icon, select "ADW Icon Pack" and proceed to select the appropriate icon. However, the icon will only change on the homescreen and not the app drawer.
-- SoD & Freezes : If you are getting random freezes and/or Screen of Death issues, remove your SIM and microsd, transfer all the required files to internal memory and start over. You can also try using clockworkmod or ROM manager to fix permissions.
Hit the Thanks button if this helps at all. All credit goes to everyone who deserves it. Especially Chainfire. And remember, hit the Thanks if it helps. Good day.

will this work on a non stock rom? ie. Romow v8, abyss kernal 4.0?

Im just waiting for the checkrom version of ICS

Yes. I assume you're already rooted? So you can just start from step 8. If you have a good baseband from Romow, I think you will be just fine.

Hello,
I have mobile odin pro which downloaded something I started an app for the first time ( i think it was flash kernel, but I'm not sure) ...
Do I need to install MobileODIN_FlashKernel_N7000-v2.0 ?
And I have stock KK5 rooted, that means I can start from step 8 ?
edit: just read the official Mobile Odin page here, and the last sentence states that only Lite users have to manually download flashkernel

Did you make a backup in cwm by any chance? If you didn't, you might just wanna start from step 1 again. Trust me, it wont take long now that you have done it once. I did the whole thing over just to write the guide. Took me about 30 minutes.
Edit. Hold on a sec! Did you say you just 'installed' the keyboard? Through market, right? If you did it by market and do not alter any system files with clockworkmod or root explorer then, you can boot into cwm by volume up, home and power and wipe your device. Everything should be back to normal after that. You won't lose root.

is there no way i can download any keyboards apks? i just need it so that i can sign onto my gmail account?

I thought your whole ICS was being unresponsive. Just do a wipe. Or get apks for a third party keyboard. Go keyboard is what I use. Just google "go keyboard apk download"

Yeah, it's a great keyboard. I have reduced the height of the keys by one unit in both portrait and landscape. I also have the emoji plugin, which is kinda cool. 0_o

Fail, I liked the new Gmail, but everything seemed so big, since I got used to 240 dpi, downloaded DPI Changer from Market, decreased DPI, and after that I couldn't boot
So I had to flash stock rom using Odin, and start over ...
Now I've just rooted stock rom, and waiting for battery to charge over 50%, since all these flashing and rooting sucked most of the juice out of it
Btw, the best keyboard in my opinion is "Thumb Keyboard"

So you're saying it's FULLY FUNCTIONAL? As in everything works just as well or close to the stock rom? Then no need for me to wait for the official release from Samsung?
If so, I'll do it baby.

I am amazed how smooth this rom is
So far its stable, we will see that in few days

2) DESIMLOCK/DEBRAND/UNLOCK i9000
First, we want to make sure phone is not locked.
On your phone, open the dialer (as if you wanted to call a phone number) and type these keys:
Code:
*#7465625#
Phone returns this message:
Network Lock
[ON]
Follow my tutorial here before going further: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-i9000/general/guide-tutorial-howto-unlock-debrand-t4053109
If Network Lock is [OFF]. Go to next chapter.
3) BACKUP DATA
Install Samsung drivers (you unzipped earlier).
Then plug phone to PC in File transfer mode.
Collect all .jpg or .mp4 (particularly in DCIM folder).
Make sure your Google Account is synchronised.
Use an app like Backupyourmobile or SMS Backup & Restore to backup texts, contacts, etc.
Check that backup is located on microSD card.
Then copy the backup on your PC.
4) FLASH LATEST STOCK ANDROID 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD
### This step is only required if your phone is blocked on Android 2.1 Eclair or 2.2 Froyo (no more recent official update).
If you are already on 2.3.x Gingerbread, move on to next chapter.
You will lose all the data stored on phone.
Shutdown phone.
Boot phone in Download mode: Hold buttons Power + Menu + Volume down until Droid logi is shown and release the buttons.
You see a Droid logo with "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!" message (video here if my explanation isn't clear:
)
On PC, launch Odin with Administrator privileges (you unziped it from my pack, in the Flash folder). Select Odin.exe > right click > Run as administrator
In Odin's main window, check all 3 checkboxes: Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time. Leave other checkboxes unchecked.
### Select PDA, PHONE and CSC files from the GT_I9000_XWJW5_XXJW4_OXXJVC_Sbl folder of my pack.
In PIT > select s1_odin_20100512.pit file
PDA > select PDA_XWJW5_Sbl.tar.md5
PHONE > select PHONE_XXJW4.tar.md5
CSC > select CSC_OXXJVC.tar.md5
Connect phone to USB.
ID:COM state becomes yellow.
Click Start
### ID:COM is not yellow: Try another USB port and/or another USB cable. Or another PC.
### Let flash proceed, don't touch anything, flash will last for 2min30.
Let phone autorestart.
Skip Android setup.
###### At any time, if your phone isn't working properly (bricked, bootloop), you can start fresh from this step.
5) FLASH NEW KERNEL + CWM RECOVERY
### Join us here if you your phone was already Android 2.3.x Gingerbread
Go to Settings > Applications > Development > Switch USB debugging ON.
Power off phone. Unplug phone from USB (if it was).
Run Odin as Administrator.
In Odin main window, check ONLY F. Reset Time checkbox. All other checkboxes must be unchecked.
In PDA > select CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.tar
Boot phone in Download mode: Hold buttons Power + Menu + Volume- until Droid logo is shown.
Connect phone to USB.
When ID:COM is yellow, click Start.
Wait until PASS! message shows up in Odin.
Disconnect phone.
We now want to enter in ClockWorkMod Recovery v3:
Hold buttons Power + Menu + Volume down until phone is shut...
THEN immediately move finger from Volume down to Volume up while holding Power + Home until Samsung logo shows up and release 3 buttons.
### If Android starts to load, just keep pressed on Power + Home + Volume+ until phone restarts and Samsung logo starts showing again.
6) FORMAT PARTITIONS AND INSTALL ANDROID 4.4 KITKAT / LINEAGEOS 11
Navigation within CWM recovery:
- Volume up: move up selection
- Volume down: move down selection
- Home: confirm selection
- Power: back to previous menu
Use Volume down to select wipe data/factory reset and confirm with Home.
On next screen, use volume- to select Yes -- delete all user data. Confirm with Home
Then repeat the operation to wipe cache partition.
Finally, go to mounts and storage and format /system.
Now select "mount USB storage" (still in mounts and storage).
Connect to PC, Galaxy S is detected as USB drive.
From Windows explorer, copy all files from my ROMs folder + Google Apps zip on phone's internal memory.
Once finished, safely remove device from Windows, then unmount from phone and unplug phone from USB.
Go back to CWM home menu and navigate to > install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > lineage-11*.zip and confirm install
Phone flashes and reboots in CWM recovery 6.0.5.1
### You now use Power to confirm actions within CWM 6 recovery.
Chose Install zip and confirm with Power this time.
choose zip from /storage/sdcard0 and confirm with Power
Select lineage-11*.zip and confirm flash. Wait
When finished, go back to CWM main menu.
Install zip of OpenGapps Pico 4.4 as described above.
Then reboot system now, Cyanogenmod 11/Android 4.4 loads.
Skip Android setup (if you want Android > 4.4, even though not recommended for performance reasons).
7) INSTALL ANDROID 5.1 LOLLIPOP
Shutdown phone.
Restart to recovery
Repeat same steps to install omni-5.1.1*.zip (wipe data/factory reset + Install zip)
Wait during boot.
Power off phone again, back to recovery.
8) INSTALL ANDROID 6 MARSHMALLOW
Recovery is now TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Check Never show this screen during boot again and Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Go to Wipe > Advanced wipe and select Dalvik, Cache, Data and System partitions. Swipe to Wipe.
Now go to Install > select Full+Advance-6.0.1-20160919*.zip and Swipe to Confirm Flash.

Hi, does it work? Am I the first here, where are the others?
---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------
Why is it necessary to install Android 5 bevor Android 6 ?

Hi,
seems clear enough to have 0 reactions
Yes you have to move forward slowly and install versions on top.
I would stick to 4.4 though (for fluidity)

I tried this way, and it seems to work. What do You think about?

Hi Chris,
I bought another stock and simlocked SGS to test again.
Whole tutorial went on very easily.
Especially when you know that going above Android 4.4 is crazy.

Wonderful tutorial! Pulled out my old phone and it’s happily running 4.4!! Now if I could get Magisk to figure out how to work with this, then I would be overjoyed.

I already have the flushable .zip — here is the message I am getting (ignore the /data thing - that was resolved - message happens anyway)
Also here is a picture of what I get with SuperSU flushable from ChainFire in case that helps anyone figure out what’s up.

Yes I think the phone has a weird boot sequence and cannot be flashed like this. Sorry I don't have time to look into it.
Somewhere on XDA ?

That is actually very well explained. If, like me, you only have Linux and can't use Odin, you can extract zimage from CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.tar and use heimdall to flash:
heimdall flash --KERNEL ./zImage --no-reboot

can we install any newer custom ROM above android 7?

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G3 D855 Stock to Android 11

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G3 D855 Stock to Android 11
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G3 LG-D855 (Unlocked/Europe) Stock to Android 11 R/LineageOS 18.1 with all files included, Netflix and Disney+ working
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your LG G3 D855 to a powerful one with Android 11.
I wrote it because what I read was incomplete or outdated.
Make sure your phone is compatible LG G3. In Android, go to Settings > General > About phone > Hardware info > Model number is LG-D855.
If not, quit this tutorial.
### I'll make a few comments like this, PLEASE READ THEM !
### WARNING. DO NOT CHECK FOR ANDROID UPDATES (we'll see this later).
CHANGELOG
v3. Use Netflix and Disney+ in SD
v2. Fix the link to download Android 5 firmware
v1. Initial release for Android 11
1) DOWNLOAD
- djibe LG G3 d855 pack: https://bit.ly/djibe-lgg3-d855-pack
(contains LG USB drivers + LGUP + KingoRoot4.8.apk + b007.autorecd855_2015-04-16.apk + Quick Reboot ROOT.apk + TWRP Recovery 3.5.2_9-0-d855 + Magisk root).
Unzip files.
- ROM LineageOS 18.1 Official: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s990-vs985-lineageos-18-1-31-03-2021.4205475/
Download latest build here: https://server.zacherts.de/smartphone/LG-G3/?C=N;O=D or here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4279422670115723669
- BiTGApps Package ARM 11: https://github.com/BiTGApps/BiTGApps-Release/releases

Then copy the backup on your PC.
Go to Settings > General > About phone > Status > IMEI.
Note and save EMEI (15 digits, just in case) !
3) ANDROID VERSION
Go to Settings > General > About phone > Software info > Android version.
- Android version is 6.0: bad news, we have to downgrade it.
Latest MarshMallow (Android 6) updates have closed the root opportunities.
- Android version is 5.0: cool, see you at chapter 5.
4) DOWNGRADE LG G3 TO ANDROID 5 LOLLIPOP
### Many thanks to shakeyabooti: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...mp-tot-method-with-lgup.2785089/post-64624353

Hi jason, glad you liked it !
Enjoy your new phone

Thanks works perfect! Just the mic that wont work on whatsapp, but its ok.

I have a LG-G3 D855 Europe version with 16GB internal storage and 2GB RAM
I read that the main camera doesn't work on the D855 (European version), is that correct?
What else doesn't work when Android 11 is on it?
I have a LG-G3 D855 Euro version with 16GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM.
At the moment I have Fulmix ROM 6.9 installed (is Android Marshmallow 6) and thus also rooted.
So I could then install the new TWRP 3.5 and then the ROM Lineage OS 18.1 afterwards, proceed as described or do I have to pay attention to something else?
Thanks for the hints and tips

Installed... no WLAN on my LG G3 D855 with Lineage 18.1
Ok, now I've set everything up successfully, on my almost 7-year-old LG-G3-D855 with only 32 GB of memory and still a poor 32-bit device.
The WLAN settings required that I had to switch the WLAN encryption to WPA2 CWP on the AVM Fritzbox 6660 Cabe.
It's sad that such an Android 11 as Lineage 18.1 doesn't get along with normal settings in the Fritzbox as WPA2/WPA3. Didn't the developers pay attention again? something like that is allowed with Android 11 !!! not happen.
Even my old Fulmics 6.9 ROM could work perfectly with the Fritzbox 6660 Frotz OS 7.29 in 2.4 and 5 GHz mode, only Lineage 18.1 can't do anything with it. Already very sad.
But ok, I solved the problem and now the front and rear cameras work as well. I still have to look for an icon pack for the surface, the normal icons look terrible!

Glad you did it.
I don't remember having troubles with Camera.
I can't help about this AVM Fritzbox 6660 Cabe thing. I don't know this.

Hello friend, I have installed this ROM, but testing it, I verify that it does not record video. I have tried other apps such as Open Camera or even the LG Camera apk and the same problem still does not record video. At first I even did a factory reset to see but it still can't record video, do you know any solution or is it because it's the latest version of official Lineage OS that I flashed, what version does the video camera work with? Thank you.

I had Fulmix 8 and proceed this tutorial and it went well. I wanted Lineage because with Android 6 there are many apps that no longer run. The problem with Lineage OS is that the video camera does not record.

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Google Nexus 7 2013 Stock to Android 13

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Google Nexus 7 2013 Stock to Android 13
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Google Nexus 7 2013 LTE/deb or Wi-Fi-only/flo to Android 13 / LineageOS 20 with Netflix/Disney+ working
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your Google Nexus 7 (4G or wifi) with Android 6 to a fresher one with Android 13.
### I'll make a few notes using this style: PLEASE READ THEM.
Before going further, make sure you have the correct model.
Go to Settings > About tablet > Model number: Nexus 7
And on tablet's back cover: Nexus is written vertically (horizontally on 2012 model)
### See here if not clear: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/58273/how-to-distinguish-nexus-7-2012-and-nexus-7-2013
If you have a SIM card slot on the side, it is a LTE model (codename deb), if not, Wi-Fi only alias flo.
Make sure you have latest official updates.
Connect tab to Wi-Fi network.
Go to Settings > About tablet > System updates. Download if update is available.
### WARNING. I'm not sure banking apps will work. Office Lens and Adobe Scan don't work.
### See all my tutorials at https://github.com/djibe/Android-tutorials

Hi,
thx for your post.
I'm glad it's useful.

Hi, been running my Nexus 7 rooted and on custom Android 6 based ROM and kernal for probably the last 6 years. Admittedly used very little, but still runs like a champ, if not a little sluggish. So I just decided to check back in to XDA and so happy to find this and try it out. However, GApps link not working for me. "File requested does not exist" Any possibility to fix link?
Thanks very much to OP!!
Edit: wow, pardon the banner, haven't been on XDA like I said for maybe six years, or more!
Edit 2: I believe I found the same GApps from another link djibe89 posted in LG G3 tutorial for the same process. Here:

Fantastic! Everything was going smoothly. But the GApps kept failing on install (Unsupported SDK version, and Install config not found). Thought it might be the version I downloaded, but I came back here and found your reply, so rebooted recovery after Lineage 19 install, installed GApps package, wiped Dalvik/Cache, installed Magisk, wiped dalvik/cache, and rebooted system. Joy! Now appears to be up and running. Seems as though reboot>recovery after ROM flash made the difference. Haven't rooted yet, but I am having a lot of fun. Huge gratitude to you for this tutorial and development work, as well as quick reply. Thank you!
Edit: Ahh, I'm pretty rusty. Realized now Lineage 19 is based off of Android 12, instead of 11. So I installed GApps for 11, not 12. Maybe something to do with it...?

I'm looking to buy a new one to try 12
And test flashing errors after repartition

Thanks, worked great for me running unofficial Lineage 19/Android 12! I wasn't able to install official Lineage 18.1. TWRP rejected install because it did not recognize my device as flox. I thought that the repartition package renamed it to this, but anyway that is what I ran into.
