Hello everyone!
Have a froyo 2.2.1
These are the details from my phone (SAMSUNG GALAXY MINI GT-S5570):
Have a baseband S5570XXKA5
with kernel 2..6.32.9-perf
and build number FROYO.XWKAC
from dialing *#1234# got this info:
PDA: S5570XWKAC
PHONE: S5570XXKA5
CSC: S5570TMNKB1
Already have a CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.5)
tried to backup stock rom several times I attach two log files that I extracted.
I am unable to mount (even mannualy) some partitions (if I am reading the logs correctly...)
Does this mean I can't backup stock ROM?
If I do can backup, how should I do it?
Can these errors be related to the fact that I am not using the most recent version of CWM?
I also have another version of CWM for my device. This is a zip file with version 5.0.2.6.
But, as it is a zip file with no IMG file in it, I am afraid that it would harm the phone if I would use it on the CWM recovery that is accessible through boot.
Is it possible to use CWM 4.0.0.5 to update itself?
I tried to use Rom Manager to update CWM (and to backup the rom, and you may very well check that because the names of the logs are different) RM didn't even recognize the already installed CWM, let alone update it or backup the stock rom...
So... can I really update CWM to try that route to backup stock rom?
How to use the zip file? (can I use it with CWM v4.0.0.5 or with ODIN 4.38?)...
I must say that I used ODIN 4.38 to flash the current CWM but the 4.0.0.5 CWM was a tar file.
Finally, all the info that I searched (here and elswhere) says that it is possible to come back to froyo (with the help of samfirmware site) but as I am such a noob I cannot find any ROM that is the same as the one I currently have.
I currently have Titanium Backup installed and it states that the ROM was build on the 2011/02/01 12h12 (can that be of any help to locate the default stock ROM from the ones that are available at SAMFIRMWARE?).
My carrier is TMN from Portugal, but until now, with this info I haven't been able to locate the 'one' ROM that would reassure me that I could upgrade and still have plenty of odds to come back to the startup 'scenario'.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

No, you can't backup stock rom.
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
Thank you for the answer.
Hello thadead,
Yours is a very assertive answer. So I don't have any chance...
But with the info I gave, can I have the 'stock' ROM from samfirmware???
And just some doubt: how did samfirmware got the so called stock roms in the first place?
Thanks for any assistance.
Samfirmware probably could have ripped from Kies update I guess. Not sure though!
Sent from SGM
here some infos on how i made a backup of my roms...
only need to say that you cannot spli CSC and /system, as in original ROMS.
another way can be to check with "check fus downloader" for you rom...
let us know...
Thank you all for all your input!
Will read as thoroughly as I can
Cheers!

Welcome! to xda-forums. If I can guess it correct then I know you ( I don't want to name you here for your privacy concern).
So, after some research around, I found it very difficult to find a firmware for your TMN device. However, I suggest you try another sim card and see if your device is sim unlocked or not.
If you phone is sim locked either wait for TMN to upgrade your rom or just unlock it. Also, since you said you have CWM v4, is it in Froyo that you have to the rom? If yes then I suggest you have CWM v5 and try to do a nandroid backup [I believe v5 will work since v4 worked]. If you are already on GB rom then try flashing a custom rom.
More talk when I hear from you!
Will try your suggestions

Hello Yagya!
Yes you got it right! (It's who you think it is...)
Now, yes, it's on froyo that I have the CWM (4.0.0.5 that you have on your blog on the tools section, I found that out by comparing md5 hash from the one that I had downloaded from bunnybugs_007 tutorial).
But I am curious to what makes you think version 5 would work on my froyo? Isn't v5.0.2.6 designed for GB or later??? And also isn't v.5.0.2.6 a buggy version?
Summing up: You say I should try v5.0.2.6 out. Should I use my zip file (which I downloaded from clockworkmod site), and use the option '(..)update.zip' from the CWM recovery itself, or should I flash your recovery.tar.md5 that you linked on your blog, doing it with ODIN?
This question is puzzling me: can CWM be used to 'update' itself on its own recovery mode???? Am almost sure it is impossible... and scares me to try...
Besides, the CWM zip file that I've gotten from Koush site doesn't have an IMG file in it, but only folders and such...
Finally I am sure I have the android simlocked (because I've just checked it)...
Will try then to unlock if that is the scenario...
If the carrier would be more thoughtful I would be less troubled...
Thanks...
Hello guys,
I want to ask you something : which element in a Samsung stock firmware determine if the ROM will wipe our data or no wipe?
Is it the dbdata.rfs file in the PDA files ? or it's in CSC files ?
Thanks.
Sorry for my bad english.
If you don't tick re-partition in odin then it shouldn't wipe as far as i know. But im also fairly certain that that the sd card will NOT be wiped when you flash via Odin..
Why would you want to do this though, it will probably cause a boot loop or some conflicts...
Are you flashing the the same stock rom or upgrading from a stock rom? You should never flash custom to stock without wipe it most certainly will cause a bootloop..
If you want the apps to use to help backup your phone before a flash then lemme know and ill recommend some..
First, thank you for answering me.
I explain you the situation : i m on a stock rom now for example, JVH.
I want to upgrade to JW4 with my modem and CSC so I use Ramad guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965190) to split JW4 into 3 files; but in his guide, he said that we have to include a dbdata.rfs file.
So we have 3 files to flash in Odin without needed to tick repartition.
Will it wipe my data ( apps, game save etc...) ?
TBH I don't know. According to post 36 in that thread then wipe did not work, but he suggested it should
Why can't you use Kies to upgrade your firmware if your on stock?
All I can suggest is PM Ramad and ask him. But don't expect an answer as I'm sure he is very busy and probably receives many PM's daily.
Alternatively I think you can go to recovery and make a nandroid backup of the whole system. Then make a copy of your whole sd card by drag and drop into a folder. I think that is usually where all the game data is stored.
You can try use "titanium backup" but i believe that is for root users only.
Also there is "SMS backup and restore", and "app list backup" (this only saves the market links, so you have both a list and link directly to the market app. It will not save non market apps, but will be usable as a list of all apps installed no matter where they were downloaded from).
Good Luck
Thanks.
I have PM Ramad but he didn't answer, like you said, he should be busy.
And I dont use Kies because I have to wait my carrier to get update, which is too long (or never lol )
But thank you, I will stay on my actual rom.
Greetings from a droid noob,
I have been trying to update my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000M using KIES, but KIES keeps telling me that I cannot update using KIES. I am very frustrated by this. It might be because the Tab I have used to be a display model used in stores. There is a continual demo screensaver that I can't disable either. It might be that there is something custom about it from Samsung/Bell for this functionality. I have never rooted the tab.
I then downloaded P1000MUGKF6_P1000MBMCKF6_BMC.ZIP from Bell to try to update to Gingerbread using Odin. This is where I get confused.
I have made many searches and there appear to be just a many versions of Odin as there are guides for the various phones out there. The instructions do not seem to follow the same pattern. Some say uncheck partition, some say leave it checked. Some use a PIT file, some don't. I really don't want to brick it.
I would really appreciate any help I can get on this. Step by step instructions would be especially helpful.
Model number: GT-P1000M
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: P1000MUGJJ6
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #3
Build number: FROYO.UGJJ6
Go to overcome site
Http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.
Thanks, priyana. I have actually seen that guide before. However, I am not trying to root. I am just trying to either go back to the "stock" FROYO and get rid of the KIES trouble or update to Gingerbread using ODIN.
"Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1"
Not trying to root.
Read the guide images, it is exactly doing what you want. : flashing GB using ODIN.
BTW, no harm using the guide to apply your version of fimmware too.
Just use it as a guide for ODIN, what to put in what fields, what to tick, etc..
Also, it is good to hop on to GB stock safe first because that will get rid of bad bootloader, since some Froyo has locked bootloader.
Here is a step directly from the Guide section titled Preppin’ The System…
[REQUIRED FOR FROYO-BASED TABS ONLY:] Your Tab must be rooted.
Or am I understanding something wrong in those steps
Followed the pictures but I think I now have a brick.
My tab did not reboot itself as in the instructions. Instead it stayed in download mode. I rebooted manually...got the new start up sound and then got to the Samsung screen. It has been stuck on that for 10 minutes now.
Not sure if this is a good thing but I just saw the Samsung logo flicker.
Hmm.. did you get all steps passed in ODIN?
No harm redoing it again, but make sure you follow every steps (i.e. parts that let it reboot itself, etc)
Edit: I missed that bit that you said it did not boot itself.
I think it is essential, could it be that you didn't wait long enough?
The good thing is I think you can reach download mode, meaning you have not screwed up the bootloader, likely the bootloader were flashed correctly.
Power down the tab, and re-enter download mode and re-flash but make sure it completes itself.
Here, a very easy to follow going back to Gingerbread stock, follow carefully:
You can download any official firmware at http://fus.nanzen.se/
1a. Download Fus Check Downloader 2.1 from the above site. Using the Fus Check downloader, download a Firmware for your region. It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file
(For your case choose GT-P1000M)
1b. Download Odin3-v1.85
2. Extract the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and you will get
tar.md 5 file.
3. Start Odin - put the .md5 to PDA
3a. If your last firmware was gingerbread, leave everything else as is (No .pit file, leave repartition unchecked).
3b. If your last firmware was NOT gingerbread (get pitfile, and check the repartition) Note -- open up the.md5 package to check if there is a pitfile included,
as well as dbdata included. If they are included, you don't need to find pit file again, you can use it for your flash.
4. Go to download mode on the G-tab, connect it to your computer,
and click start on Odin. It takes about 6 to 7 minutes to do the flashing.
Good to know this! thanks.
I guess @ThiesWindu can try this way too, provided ODIN can see the tab.
Thanks, yappoe.
I am on step 3b. There was a tar file but no MD5. The tar file included a pit file but no dbdata.
I am going to try this. Fingers crossed.
Looks like I need that dbdata file as there was an error to that effect on the tab. However I did get further than last time. The tab is still stuck at the Samsung screen.
Where can I find that dbdata file?
Thanks
The issue was the dbdata.rfs file missing.
I found it here under misc notes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9305891&postcount=1
It finally rebooted but what I got was the following message:
Sorry!
The application com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una (process com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Is this something major or is it normal?
Thanks for the help so far.
that is why I recommend Overcome GB Stock safe in the first place.
Too many people asking where is dbdata.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, pit files etc when using other method.
Could your problem stem from using dbdata.rfs from different ROM?

Yes, of course, but he specifically wanted a non-rooted stock, and most likely from his region (and probably is ready to sell the tab for the newer tablet )
@ThiesWindu: one more step, and you should be done! (Hopefully -- Unless Priyana's fear is true... then the dbdata might not be for your Tab
go to Recovery Mode, and do a Factory Wipe and a Data Cache wipe.
The tab is working. The dbdata file seems to have done the trick. The tab works fine just takes longer to boot than before. Had to re-install a ton of apps though. I guess there are different versions for the different droid versions.
Is the slow down on boot up of concern? This is the first time I have done this.
Why would the stock not include it?
First boot after flash always takes longer time. What happen is android is installing and configuring your device for the first time.
Dbdata, pit and bootloader are not always included in a packaged stock because some Releases are meant for 'upgrade'. Since these files rarely changed from version to version, it wouldn't be included.
That is also why Priyana directed you to Team Overcome's GB-Stock-safe, because they include everything in the package. But because they have complete package, sometimes it's overwhelming for some people to follow the instruction.
Perhaps now that you completed flashing your g-tab, if you go back to team overcome website, you will have less difficulties following their instruction.
It seems to take longer all the time. Once booted it seems smoother and faster than before.
I have a 2nd Galaxy Tab that I can compare the times to and then report back when I get home tonight.
Thanks again
Compared it to the other tab and the boot time actually improved a little. Guess nothing to worry about then.
Thanks for the help guys.
updating your Canadian P1000M tab to android 4.4.4. or whatever other ROM you wish
I didn't want android 5 or up but the most stable Custom rom on my tab which only had the 2.3.3 update on it.
The problem with all the custom ROMs was they wouldn't work on the P1000M sim card model as only made for a P1000 .
There were a few threads about converting my current model to a P1000 but somewhat confusing about exactly what to do and where to get the downloads needed .After two days of playing around I found the guide and links in this thread as the most helpful they worked :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881981
Once you install the GB Stock safe 5 tar file as per PDF instructions(which you need to read a few times ) use the JPZ Modem folder as per instructions on PDF –this is an Italian modem bin file but it will convert the P1000M to a P1000 which then allows you to complete the rest of the installs with the overcome wipe files and at the end of all the installs ,put your chosen recovery rom on tablet internal memory and flash using whatever custom Rom for a P1000 you wish (as there isn’t any links or availability for a P1000M except for gingerbread).Its a long process to get to using the custom rom but it works and seems to be the only way to go. I used omni nightly4.4.4 plus the gapps files and and updated SU zipfile.
Unfortunately once the omni ROMwas installed I kept getting the android process media has stopped message constantly so used the following to fix that issue :
Go to your app settings page (Settings > Applications > Manage Applications) and open Media Storage. Hit clear data.
If you have a custom recovery installed (most custom ROMs and kernels do have it), boot into it and fix permissions. In Clockworkmod Recovery, you can find it under “Advanced”. TWRP recover also has a similar option. Being a Linux-based OS, permissions are of paramount importance to smooth functioning of Android components.
In Manage Applications, open Google Services Framework. Clear data.
Open Google Play Store. Hit clear data. Note that this will clear all play store data, including your Google sign in. You will have to login with your Google / GMail account again the next time you open Play Store.
Open Download Manager, and clear its data too.
Backup your data and format SD card. Make sure to backup all data on your SD card, including media, apps and other files, before formatting it. Use FAT32 formatting, which is preferred for Android. This is because android.process.media is related to camera, gallery and other multimedia components, and SD card errors may cause this force close error.
Try a different SD card. Many SD cards, particularly those of class 6, 8 and 10, have been reported to not work reliably with Android devices. Class 4 seems to be the safest option .
Now running 4.4.4 on my tab P1000. thank goodness.
Hello,
I have to tell you that I'm completely new at this, and therefore even more uncertain to start doing the job I think that needs to be done, without having you guys consulted first.
Two weeks earlier, after reading and studying the internet for lots and lots of hours, I decided to flash my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (Netherlands), using the Odin3 (v.1.83) software, with the downloaded German firmware version: N7000XXLSZ_N7000OXALSZ_DBT. And fortunately, to my own big surprise, everything just worked out fine and I’m having Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 installed and running in Dutch.
A few days ago, I read the message on the internet that for the Note GT-N7000, the Dutch firmware version: N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN, finally became available and was now to be downloaded here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ . And so I did…
As I stated before, I am completely new at this and here are some questions I would like you to help me out with:
1. A little voice in my head keeps saying, that I should “re-flash” my Note again to have the right firmware for my smartphone. Although I would very much like that, would you also advise me to do so?
2. If so, would it be just as simple, using Odin3 again, as I did before (so: “just flash”) or am I thinking too simple now? So, whatever the answer, could you please explain me the procedure I should follow to have the Dutch firmware installed – if so advised by you?
3. I am also thinking about rooting my Note. I have seen several instruction videos on the internet, but most of them were explaining about rooting the Note that still had the Android Ice Cream firmware installed. I am not sure if I could “simply follow” that procedure, let alone, if the rooting software the videos are talking about would also work on an Android Jelly Bean smartphone?
4. If Odin3 also is capable of rooting my smartphone, would it be easier for me (being a novice) to use Odin3 as well for this purpose?
5. Would you please be so kind to advise me in this matter as well with the procedure for me to be followed and the software to be downloaded and/or used?
I really hope to hear real soon from you.
Thank you!
Robert.
1. there is not much of a difference between the 2 firmwares apart from a few widgets and lock screen shortcuts ( i think). its up to you if you want.
2. yes same procedure will just do fine for the new firmware too. detailed tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
3. easiest way is using one of these kernels. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191. it will auto root and safe.. procedure requires an SD card. same explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 procedure 1A
4. odin can be used to root but it will cause the counter to raise and yellow triangle at boot... so use the 1A method
5. As explained above

Thank you for your swift reply.
Advising me to use the "1A method", it says:
Installation
1.a Pre installation : (For clean installation, optional)
- Make backup with Titanium Backup or other similiar app.
- First flash GB ROM if you are on any other ICS/Custom ROM
- wipe cache, data from recovery on GB ROM
Would it be safe for me to think that, flashing my Note again, the "1A method" does not apply to me at this moment since I already have the JB ROM (4.1.2) installed and running? Also, when I flashed my Note earlier with the JB ROM (4.1.2) through Odin3, all the data on my phone was kept intact. Was I lucky here, or does that all make sence?
Now, reading most of these forums, I often stumble upon the word "kernel", which frightens me a bit because these "kernels" mostly need to be downloaded for use. What is it, talking about kernels, that you are really talking about then? I mean, I don't suppose that a kernel is the same as my N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN firmware?
You also advised me to make use of this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 but, using this link, I don't see and/or understand WHAT I should be downloading or WHERE I should be downloading this kernel.
Could you PLEASE (!) take me by the hand here (step by step), before I mess everything up and with that, killing my Note?
I hope to hear from you again soon.
Thank you!
Robert,

- 1A is not from the link you are referring to.. its in the 3rd step.. to root.. donot follow 1A from the first link. its not needed.
- yes.. even when you flash the Dutch rom.. it will be intact if you donot do a wipe..
- the kernel i linked you to is a safe kernel which when installed auto roots the device and install CWM recovery..

I've downloaded the kernel: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.88.2-signed (name of the RAR-file). Should I use both the Dutch ROM and the downloaded kernel-file to have them both installed, if so - in which follow-up?, or am I talking non sence here? Or, is the Dutch Rom included in the kernel-file?
I cannot start with the procedure right away, because I have to go to work now; maybe later tonight. I'll also have to find out first how to install the kernell through Odin3, unless ofcourse you could tell me right away.
Anyway, thank you for your help so far.
Again, I hope to hear from you - provided I'm not annoying you!
Robert
Its just the kernel,., its to root your phone.. you can use it on the current rom you have or later after installing the new rom.
is the Dutch Rom included in the kernel-file?

No.. considering the fact that rom size >= 900 MB and kernel size >= 8MB

Thank you again! But I am afraid, I still need your help .
After unzipping the Kernel file in a map on my desktop (see picture), I see three maps with several maps and more files included and the "zImage" file (which I think is the actual Kernel file?). Could you please tell me what to do next to let it all work within Odin3? Which file(s) should I pick and how and where do I connect them to Odin3? In short: ehhh... help?:crying:
Maybe I am making too much trouble out of it and am I seeing bears on the road that aren't even there - If so, I appologize. But please, take me by the hand here... A small relief however: I AM learning from your answers...
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you!
Robert,

you donot need to unzip it.. just copy that file onto the ext sd card.. boot into recovery and choose apply update from external storage..

Hi, I wanted to change the ROM of my old GT-N7000 as I recently got a Note 4 but I did what I should have never done.
I wanted to install TWRP to get the Spirit ROM. TWRP app downloaded well from the Play Store and I did it!
When I restarted the Note I stayed with the Samsung Galaxy Note screen and since several days I cannot found out anything to install a new Rom.
I searched the Web, found out a few guide saying to install CWM but I don't have any Recovery mode available now.
I still get the connection in Odin when I put the Note in download mode but that's all.
Please, if someone could help and tell me what to do. I'm a homeless and all my money is going into cyber to search for solutions.
I really need one.
Thanks anyway...
Really, nobody can help?
Hello. Can you install any recovery via Odin? Try to install officiall firmware via Odin.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I just don't have any idea of I could install.
Everything I tried failed or links are too old and things are not available anymore.
I do think I should format or erase everything and reinstall something but what and from where ?
If you can help I would thank you a lot as the phone is unusable since several days now...
Did you tried the firmware way?

Can you explain it to me?

Okay, so...
From my old stuff in an external HD i Have this :
ROM STOCK WIPE SAMSUNG - N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1_OXA (GingerBread).zip
Rooted Stock Odex N7000XXLC1 (GingerBread France).rar
XEU-N7000XXLT9-20130611091825 (Jelly Bean Euro).zip
In the link you gave me they ask to download a firmware from SamMobile but they are 3 for the French GT-N7000 and my last update was a 4.1.2 working with any provider, even in Spain (I do live in Spain). Secondly, one have to be a premium member to download those firmware.
I think I should be able to install what I need using files I already have but Odin doesn't recognize .zip or .rar files and I don't know what to do. I upgraded the system a few years ago and don't remember how.
I also have no idea if zhat i recently did with TWRP changed partitions size and if it is the case then I have no idea of how to use PIT files.
Also, those guides refer to versions of program not available anymore and sometimes they changed names of buttons...
Have you repartitioned your phone? Those .zip files have .md5.tar files and odin recognise then in the AP section. I think that the 1-st .zip maybe is firmware. For download firmwares only you need to register for free to download firmwares with slow download speed (aproximately hour or two for downloading a single firmware file).

No I didn't change size of partitions...
I finally tested a XEU-N7000XXLT9-20130611091825 (Jelly Bean Euro) I had (don't know where it comes from). Unziped and opened in Odin with the AP button.
It installed this new ROM and the phone started but is not rooted anymore. I have now a 4.1.2 which doesn't seem to be one a got before,
At least I can start the phone...
What surprise me is to see the TWRP app on the phone screen and also SuperSU. SuperSU say the phone is not rooted.
Now, I suppose I have to forget everything about TWRP and must think about CWM no ?
If I want to test and then, install different ROM I sometimes see that TWRP is the one needed to do the job...
What do you think I should do now ?
Root the device using CWM or something different ?
You can try everything you want in the Android development section but this time follow the steps as they are and use the kernels and recoveries that are suitable for the deserved rom. Probably your Note is with custom 4.1.2 now. I am now using my Note with Leanige OS, based on CM12 and android 6.0 and am not having problems plus the phone is running very smooth and fast. This rom is using own Kernel, recovery and google apps(gaps) package.

You really interest me...
I'm surprised cause it's because I found out a guide to instal a 6.0.1 which needed TWRP that drive me to install it.
I'm really confused too because I downloaded TWRP app from the Play Store and it accepted to downlñoad and install the app to my phone. It also accepted to download the Rom and it's when I restarted the device that I met me with an unusable phone...
So ?...
Sure, if I wasn't alive I wouldn't have done that but is it all my fault ????
I would ne glad to get all the steps you did and files you got to install your ROM on mine Ç(as far as it speak french and spanish too )
Is it "Leanige OS" or "LineageOS ?
What about the battery ? The autonomy ?
And I must say I'm a homeless and don't have a computer with a 22= screen in my backpack. Also I have only 1 Gb of data each month so...
Most of the time when I have problem that means I have to go to cyber and this is never free....
Then I cannot really read everyday everything about all my devices ( and I'm not only speaking about phones)
Anyway thanks a lot to everybody who help me...
This is what I use now : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note/development/rom-nightowl-alpha1-t3255536 It is stable and usable as a every day phone. I followed every step Bauner wrote and I don't have issues for now. Battery life depends on the use of the phone and how old is the battery. Mine is 2012 and it can hold 1 day and it is logical.
Try using Kies to restore it. I had to use Kies to update the OS on my bratty little sisters Note as she had gotten it running full throttle all the time.

Hi, I will try now to upgrade the ROM but wanted to ask you if you make any change to your partition size and if yes what did you do, I mean how much place did you allow for the system?
Tell me if your phone is rooted and how you did it and if you have CWM or TWRP installed please...
Thanks
I downloaded those two files:
N7000_STOCK_PIT.zip => In case I have to reinitiate partition size one day
n7000_(16gb)_4_6_8_10_12gb.zip => Cause I think this one should be the one I need.
I suppose I should be allowed to use the ROM I just previously installed which give me a 4.1.2
Well....mine is repartitioned with 8GB internal and 5gb for sdcard0. It is rooted of course with TWRP. Rooting comes with the rom. It has SU instaled and to root the device you only need to go in the dev options and to tick on the root acess.

I am dowloading this https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=25384 and I am a little bit surpised cause of the file size...
It should be bigger for a full OS no?
I'm a little bit stuck with this http://opengapps.org/?arch=arm&api=6.0&variant=micro
What version should I get and how did you install TWRP ? The las version of this ROM must be installed with it...
Well I lied to you. I am using Philz touch CMW recovery and sorry for that. The size of the Rom is normal. With the Gapps you just need to hit the download button (red one) and flash it later. Install could be not a big problem. The steps are in the post. If you didn't find them here they are: Copy Rom + Google Apps to your sdcard.
3.flash PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1.tar.md5 (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120702299) to get cwm recovery by using odin or mobile odin
4. boot into recovery
5. flash this kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526788121 to get an updated cwm recovery
(this step will make your old rom unbootable stuck in the n7000 screen but you can boot into recovery with press and hold "home" and "volume+" buttons and power on your phone)
6. you need to reboot! your device now to recovery
7. you are now in the updated recovery and you need to do a factory reset (and to go sure you should also format the /system partition)
8. you can now install the rom and gapps and reboot your device
