Step by step to root the latest official ROM N7000XXLA4 (2012-Jan-12) - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development

Hello friends!
If you have the wonderful Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000 Note, updated to ROM version N7000XXLA4 (2012-Jan-12) and you want to root it, here's the step by step to do it.
The current methods for root do not work for the lastest version, so you have to do a downgrade, ie flash a ROM version of the oldest official, apply the root method again and then flash the official ROM N7000XXLA4.
This procedure avoids the yellow triangle warning because we flash only official ROMs.
1. Download rootable by method zengrush or cf-root (eg N7000XXKJ4) official ROM
- http://hotfile.com/dl/133780325/5643497/N7000XXKJ4_N7000OXAKJ4_DBT.zip.html
- Pass: samfirmware.com
- Extract with 7zip
2. Download Odin v1.85
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=815370&stc=1&d=1323799721
- Pass: samfirmware.com
- Extract with 7zip
3. Flash with Odin v1.85 the downloaded rootable official ROM (step 1)
- Set file N7000XXKJ4_N7000OXAKJ4_N7000XXKJ4_HOME.tar.md5 on PDA field
- UNCHECK Re-Partition option (very important)
- No change other options
- Shutdown the phone and turn on with VolumenDown+Home+Power pressed, after press VolumenUp to turn Downloading mode
- Connect USB cable (wait for the drivers are installed automatically)
- Click Start button
4. Root with zengrush or cf-root method
a. Zengrush method
- Check Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debug
- Check Settings > Applications > Unknown sources
- Download DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=841876&d=1325678726)
- Extract it
- Connect USB cable (wait for the drivers are installed automatically)
- Run runme.bat
b. cf-root method
- (I don't like it)
5. Download the lastest official ROM (ie N7000XKLA4)
- http://www.hotfile.com/dl/142436991/8a33ef7/N7000XXLA4_N7000OXALA4_DBT.zip.html
- Pass: samfirmware.com
- Extract with 7zip
6. Download and install MobileODIN Pro from Android Market
7. Flash with MobileODIN Pro the lastest official ROM (ie N7000XKLA4)
- Copy N7000XXLA4_N7000OXALA4_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5 to a phone folder
- Choose Open file...
- Browse N7000XXLA4_N7000OXALA4_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5
- Check in the options: Enable EverRoot, Inject Superuser, Inject MobileODIN, Inject CWM Manager
- Choose Flash firmware
Greetings.

Hi. Thanks for your indepth guide.
Is it possible to just flash "ROCKET-v20-LA4-eybee1970" custom ROM instead of the official LA4 rom in section 7?
Or do you need to flash a 'factory' LA7 then Rocket's rom?
Thanks.

The true meaning of this procedure is enjoy the latest version of the official rom rooted.
Anyway, of course you can.

you mean, without factory original firmware, we just simply flash the custom ROM to the phone directly? how about from others region firmware XXLA3/LA1/KJ1?? for eg, my current firmware is xxLA1 and now i wanted to use custom firmware xxLA4, will it works? sorry for my questions as im a noobie for SGN.. thx

You might add a step to your guide to download and flash the matching LA4 cf-root kernel to regain cwm recovery. A simple step once you are already familiar with mobile odin pro, and trading up 3e recovery for cwm could save folks a lot of trouble if they mess stuff up when taking advantage of those superuser permissions and end up not able to boot into the system to get to mobile odin pro.

You won't loose root if you flash with MobileODIN and EverRoot option enabled.

Don't worry. If you install a stock firmware, you will get any updates via OTA.

Thank you very much. As soon as possible, I'll complete the cf-root point.

Hello there.
I owned an HTC Sensation and enjoyed a lot flashing several ROMs.
I am now with Samsung Note (kernel verion 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA4-CL886827) and am planning first steps in order too have a rooted device, SuperCID, other ROMs etc. etc.
It is my understanding this 3rd fullfill my first step, ok.
I was just noticing different approach for flashing. I used CWM, while here we use PC software (not a problem).
My question is: at the end of step 3 do I get my Note back & working again ? I just ask this because, from my previous experience with HTC Sensation, wiping a kernel/SO and not completing a flashing new ROM process does brick the device.
I assume at the end of process 3 I get my Note back alive again. I am just asking if this process is as easy as it looks, if and where I could get my Note broken.
Thanks in advance for you reply !

I have a sensation and a note. Its much easy to install cwm on note because you dont need soff or anything. Just get your kernel with cwm and flash

So, if I have understood:
1) I can use the method mentioned at the beginning of this 3rd in order to have Note rooted
2) I can install CWM
3) I can choose any (?) ROM I want and flash it via CWM
Is it this correct ?
Thanks

If you have the latest official kernel you have to downgrade first. If not just root it as described in 1st post.
When u are rooted you can start your device in cwm recovery and mainly flash any ROM. Always mind to specific instructions from the ROM creator prior to install a new ROM.
Don't forget 1st time you go in clockwork recovery to make a nandroid backup. this let u rebuild your system if s ..t happens

At the end of step 3 Odin says:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> N7000XXKJ4_N7000OXAKJ4_N7000XXKJ4_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
NOTES remain with green Android in the middle, "Downloading" message, and "Do not turn off target!!!" message.
WHAT THE HELL TO DO NOW !?!?!?
Update: googling I discovered that my Windows doesn't see the NOTE via ID:COM. Will investigate to solve this
Update 2: KIES was missing on my PC
Update 3: Step 3 is OK !!!
Update 4: Step 4 is taking place. "Pushing busybox" is taking quite long (10 minutes). Is it ok ????

lol u do need kies on PC

k. am downgrading Firmware to KL3 , and i need procedure. but mainly it should not effect binary counter.
It's not possible to root LA4 directly at the moment, so you'll need to downgrade your device first:
- Download a firmware that's rootable from here.
- Download Odin from the link provided above
- Enter "Download Mode" on your device by shutting your Note completely off, then press and hold Volume Down + Home button + Power button
- Start Odin
- Unzip the firmware (the zip file you just downloaded), and you'll end up with a md5-file
- Go to Odin and click "PDA" and choose the md5-file
- Press "Start"
- Wait
- Done
Now you can root the device and get CWM, so go to this thread and do the "I Want ROOT + CWM" at the end of the first post.
- After you're rooted download LA4 again from the first link in this post
- Transfer it to your Note
- Open CWM on your Note
- Flash it
Done. You now have a rooted LA4.

No it won't.
Just make 1 thing clear. binary count raise only, If you flash any custom ROM/Kernel with PC Odin.
Follow LordManhattan's advise and still once refer Installation guide in detail in post #2 n 3 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Just to add, Downgrade Firmware shud be direct rootable. (before KL7), N if particularly i specify, I can say Downgrade first to indian ROM KL1, I have flashed this ROM in at least 5 Notes.
That means Flashing Custom ROM using CWM doesn't effect Binary Count rite??
if you flash using CWM or mobile odin it wont if you do using oding from PC it will still not sure about official firmware

Yep, this is what I did after going through Dr. Ketans post. I now have rooted LA4 , but my CWM app and recovery is only partial. I do not have option to do backup/restore on CWM on LA4. Is it a universal problem? Any ideas?

Hey,
Dr.Ketan, can you tell me please if there is a chance to root the original LA4 (never changed rom) if I don't have access to a Windows and only to a Mac?
I only want to root it for the basic tweaks and apps. Don't need a custom rom at the moment. I want to root it and use it as is while I wait for the official ICS.
Thanks.
There is no Queston of window or Mac,LA4 is non rootable, to get root, first u need to downgrade older rom.

Thanks. I got ahead of the events. I didn't meant that. I meant if I can do the procedure of downgrading and everything I might need to do in order to root or to install a custom rom or another stock using ONLY my Samsung Note and a Mac.
Q1: I can downgrade using a exclusively a Mac with Lion on it?
Q2: If the answer to Q1 is affirmative, can I root it after downgrade also using only Lion on Mac?
Thanks again!
I have never heard mac pc odin. Plz google for it. So without pc odin you cant downgrade.
Yes there was review i read, got root with mac. You just read my thread how to root...(u may find from my signature), i remember i have post a link somwhere, how to root using mac.

Yes, I saw there was one root with mac solution, but works only if the Note is rootable. LA4 is not. So I must downgrade first. )))))
Nevermind, I'll try to do it with Windows, somehow. Thanks!
I am also new to this, and this thread is very clear. The bit I do not understand is what Kernal I should be running. Custom roms available can have a variety of kernals e.g LA3, LA4 etc. Do i have to choose a rom that has a kernal compatible with my phone? is there some rational to running one kernal vs another? I notice that it may be possible to flash a rom and keep a previous kernal e.g a CF kernal. is this advisable? your advice would be very welcome.
You don't need to flash a new kernel. Most of the custom ROMs includes a custom kernel that's good enough, but if you're interested in testing a few of them then you can do it without any problems.

Now is when I am lost. I did all the above (thanks, by the way) and I run KKA now. I had LA4 (Germany) when bought it, then downgraded to root.
Now I am rooted but when I try to update firmware with CWM, nothing happens. I have to put the ZIP in the Note or the MD5? I tried with the MD5 two times.
Is there something I do wrong? Is any other method apart from CWM? I mention that when I downgraded and first booted, CWM said something about "not being compatible and some functions were disabled".
Any ideas?
EDIT:
I couldn't work it out as expected and I went back to my original LA4 (Germany).

[Q] Anyone who succeed to root GT-N7000B?

I tried to find out how to root my GN, GT-N7000B.
But I could not find out the way.
Even I checked Kernel Version, LA2 there is no way to root.
Finally, I think my phone is a kinds of Not Directly ROM.
So, I will downgrade my ROM.
Before that, I would like ask if there is anyone who succeed to root this model.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Help update to ics and root for unlock

Hi and sry if my post is like many others, but i need strait answers for my particular software version.
So i am running Galaxy Note N7000 is rooted and unlocked with Galaxy_S Unlock apk i think (was locked on SRF France)
Android Version :2.3.6
Baseband version :N7000BUKK1
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566
[email protected] #2
Build number :GINGERBREAD.XXKKA
My question is:
Can i upgrade the software from the phone menu Software Upgrade? it is always asking me if i want to install or not.
Can i brick my phone using this method?
If i manage to get ICS on the device will i still be able to use unlock .apk on 4.0.x ?
I use vodafone romania sim
Should i use Odin or Kies or phone upgrade from menu?
Ihave downloaded all the stock roms for my country and carrier (Vodafone)
BTW mobile odin said there is something wrong with my partition, and emmc check will leave black screen and crash after a few seconds (is this something to be worried?)
What method do you guys recommend ?
Thanx in advance !

So i should go ahead and put the stoc ics firmware for my country and update with odin over my rooted gb 2.3.6, no harm will occur?
Should i put the .pit for 16GB when using odin or just put the fw in PDA and hit Start?
I asked if the unlock apk is compatible with ICS also...but i will find out soon )
Thanx
Just read first line on my signature and flash ICS using Odin
I recommend go clean(first wipe cache and data before flashing ICS) and don't wipe once you are on ICS stock kernel
After this find second link on my sign and use method 1A/1B to root.
No need to use pit, though detail instruction is there on my thread

Let me get this right:
1 go to CMWR and clear data and cash, then exit, reboot
2.go into download mode vol - + home+ power
3 connect odin and select the rom into pda
4 hit start and let it do its job, it will reboot into the new ics after that.
then my phone will probably have ICS running but no root and so i cannot use unlock apk, only if i IMEI unlock it so i can stay on stock all the way.
So after i flash stock ics using odin i shall never do a hard reset on my phone even if i do not root it?
thanx for patience and help
correct me if i am wrong at any steps.
thanx again

then my phone will probably have ICS running but no root and so i cannot use unlock apk, only if i IMEI unlock it so i can stay on stock all the way.
So after i flash stock ics using odin i shall never do a hard reset on my phone even if i do not root it?
thanx for patience and help
correct me if i am wrong at any steps.
thanx again

1. yes You are on GB ROM, so safe
2.OK
3.OK
4.Not probably but it will boot to ROM which you have flash.
If you have network lock, then you have to Root your device to unlock it.
For that use 2nd link on my signature to root it.
Again here one more thin i have to clear
If you select ICS 4.0.4 to flash, then direct network unlock won't work.
For this refer to 'Toolbox' in my signature and follow tool No 18 and then 17
In case of 4.0.3, Tool No 17 only will be fine.

No, now on GB 2.3.6 ! I pushed vol up home and power
and it rebooted in Android System Recovery (3e)
GB is safe for wipe, even you are on stock 3e recovery, wipe cache and data/factory reset

Should i flash Hydracore v5 kernel with odin after my odin upgrade to stock ics just to be sure that no brick bug will happen to my note if i ever do a HW reset?
Yes safe kernel always safe.
Flashing kernel with Odin raise flash counter.
You can flash phillz kernel (which is also safe) from stock recovery. If you want to flash hydracore or any other later you can flash with phillz recovery without raising counter.

Samsung s3 mini blocked afrter failed root

Hi, after a failed rooting my s3 blocked, i tryed to put on the I9300XXALE8_I9300ITVALE7_ITV (i'm from italy), but now is blocked on the Samsung logo. Also when i go in download mode it says
Odin mode
Product name : GT-I8190
Custom binary donwload : YES (17 counts) (ye i tryed 17 times to fix it)
Current binary : custom
System status : Official
So i have some questions : Can i send it to assistance and they can repair it (with warranty)? , should i try to re download the I9300XXALE8_I9300ITVALE7_ITV file? ( i tryed with 3 versions of odin, with 2 of them it says : failed, with the newest it says : pass but it blocks on Samsung logo)
Or there is something other that i can do?
(sry bad english)
Are you flashing a i9300 firmware to a i8190?
No wonder why it doesn't work.

+1 Just find the ROM you want to install here http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I8190 then download and flash this http://download.chainfire.eu/448/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r5.zip and finally go and install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu (or update if you have it installed after you flash the file above). I can root any phone with this simple method
NOTE : It doesn't matter which country you're from, you can flash any firmware you like, so why not be it the latest one available for your device (ANF3 at the moment)? You can still change language to Italian after flashing so there's really no difference between regions

I've never rooted a phone so I was just wondering how to do it like this? I've read some guides but it's really unclear still, one that I tried simply didn't work (the one where you flash CWR with Odin as the first step). Can you/someone tell me how to do this exactly, please? This is what I'm thinking atm:
1) If I already have the latest version I'm happy with, do I still need to download that version again or can I just go ahead with the SuperSU flashing part?
2) How do I in practice flash the SuperSU zip file? I currently have Odin v.3.0.7 and Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed on my PC. Thanks for any help!

If you don't have the latest firmware on your phone, download it from the link I gave (it's a .md5 file). Now go to Developer Options in your phone's settings and tick USB Debugging. Power off your phone. After that enter download mode on your phone by pressing power+volume down+home button while turning it on. You'll see a big message on your screen saying "Downloading, don't unplug target". Now plug your s3 mini into the pc and start Odin. Select PDA and find the .md5 file from before. Make sure that f.reset time and re-partition are unchecked and then press start. Once it's done odin will say "pass" and your phone will reboot. Congrats, you now have the latest firmware on your s3 mini
Now in order to root it, you need a custom recovery so let's go
On Google search "TWRP 2.7.1.1 Android-Andi xda" and download it from the attachments of his post (it's a .md5 file again). Again turn off the phone and enter Download Mode like before. Now do the same steps with Odin as the first time (with the firmware), but this time select the TWRP.md5 file instead of the firmware one in PDA section of Odin. Make sure all the options on the left are ticked/unticked exactly like the first time and hit Start. The "Pass" message should be displayed and the phone should reboot.
Congrats, you now have the latest TWRP Recovery on your s3 mini
And the last step - rooting it
Download the SuperSU.zip from the link in my post and copy it to your device's memory (internal or external). Now in order to enter Recovery Mode you need to turn off your phone and turn it back on by holding the power+volume up+home buttons until you see a "TeamWin" message on your screen. This recovery is touch based so just select install, choose the SuperSU.zip file and flash it. Reboot the phone.
Now you're rooted and on the latest firmware arty:
For future updates do the same. Just change the firmware .md5 file with the latest one available. The rest is the same xD
Man, I got tired ...
