You always loose root after flashing stock firmware! Should have flashed it with MobileOdinPro.
If you want root again, downgrade to a directly rootable rom (all versions till KL7) and reroot it with CFRootIntitialFlasher by Chainfire, thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784

you will need to use odin to flash an older stock rom, root it then use mobile opdin to flash the latestst stock version

I have flashed to KL3, but i failed at rooting it.
idk why, but the doomlord zerg v4 i used to root before won't work.
Just pick and download a stock rom from here (till KL7) http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3. Flash with Odin and reroot with InitialCFRootflasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 and you`re done

So reflash KK2 with Odin and reroot it! and after that if you want to update stock firmware use Mobile Odin to flash and keep root and CWM

If I reflash KK2 would it keep all my stuff (contacts, apps, settings) or it will be as format?
Is there any other easier methods to root the LA1 or wait for it?
Iam new with Samsung and Odin, and read somewhere that mobile Odin will intact the 0 flashing (or something means that)
And also read that all flashing can be done via windows Odin (easier for me to deal via pc than mobile screen size)

No LA1 cannot be rooted directly unless you don`t care about raising the binary flash counter. I think KK2 is a wipe rom so yes you will losse everything on your internal disk, so copy the entire disk with windows task manager and put it back after you flashed KK2.
Odin can only be used with stock firmware, kernels or csc files, not custom files.
And try to read up about rooting, flashing and such things. There are threads enough around here.
Good luck

according to what I understood from you so far:
1 - I will reflash the Original stock rom KK2 by PC Odin
you said that KK2 will wipe my mobile and I should make a backup for my internal disk, So, Sorry to ask: what is this (windows task manager) and how to use it?
2 - I will root the KK2 same way I did last time
3 - I will flash the new update LA1 via Mobile Odin and it will keep my root and CWM
Does Mobile odin come in free or paid?

1. yes reflash KK2 using PC odin, I dont know wether KK2 is wipe version, if it is wipe, even you won't lose data on internal SD card, no meaning to take backup with window. If you want to backup your installed app + data, you must have Root.
alternatively you can choose non wipe version to reflash (e.g. KL3 india) it won't delete anything.
2. You have to Root Your relashed ROM (you can find how to Root guide on my signature)
3.Mobile Odin Pro is paid. Dont want to pay for mobile Odin Pro/ unable to purchase it, you can get Root + CWM, then update LA4 using CWM ( you may get installation guide link from my signature)
I will recommend to read all 4 links(first 2-3 post) on my signature,you will find answer of most of your questions
what if i tried to root my new ROM (LA1) using doomlord rooting kit, failed, and then downgrade it to KL3?
can i still use the doomlord easy rooting kit?
i tried this few times yesterday, but it still won't get rooted.
Ok, I reflashed by PC Odin my original stock rom KK2, and it was not wipe, I found everything is intact
But when I tried to root + recovery like before, did not work although I get on the screen (all done) but after reboot no root or CWM
I reinstalled Kies but still alot of errors when trying to do the rppt only or root+CWM
What should I do?
is there any way that I can wipe my phone and start as fresh as I can? what I did is :
boot to recovery and chooses wipe cache partition and Factory reset, it is all or there is something else can be done?
Edit : The wipe did it, and I have root and CWM now

Turn off your antivirus temporarily as it removes some components of your rooting tool which causes the error message.

Yes you can use doomlord method after downgrade.
check USB debugging on, close any PC sync SW, close Firewall, close antivitus. Try another PC.

You CAN or CANT access download mode ? If you can, simply flash a stock ROM via ODIN.

Yes I can, I tried to downgrade to GB but it failed as well :/
I don't really clearly understood your issue.
But if you want to flash a Stock ICS Rom, start ODIN PC, start your SGNote in download mode (button volume down + home + power), then connect your SGNote to your PC and flash via ODIN PC.
If you don't know exactly how to use ODIN PC, check tutos on the forum.

When you say "it failed" you are going to have to be more specific. Please give us an error message. Did you get a NAND write start and factoryfs.img and it just freeze after that in Odin?

Reinstall your ADB/USB drivers, make sure you're using USB2.0 port - for me USB3.0 always results in failed flash, ultimately switch USB ports.

The file you download from dr. Ketan is a .rar file, unzip it once and you get a .tar file. Flash that file with Odin in pda section. So don`t unzip the .tar file again.

To start with - you need root to flash this custom ROM, so unrooting your device was a mistake, you have to root it again.
Now, i've never flashed Criskelo's ROM, but from what i've read in the thread, you need to root your device, flash Chainfire's ICS repack via mobile odin, and then flash criskelo rom via CWM. Do not unpack the .zip file, you need to point CWM to that file.

When you boot into recovery, is it CWM recovery?
If you are talking about not seeing the CWM app, don't worry about that.

I am not able to remove the network lock :crying:
At the moment I am root. My model number is GT-N7000. My current android version is 4.0.4. My build version is IMM76D.DDLR6
Based on suggestion at the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801341 , I downgraded to a GB Pre-Rooted Room found at http://d-h.st/HJM . I got rooted and then I also was able to use GalaxyS Unlock Application to unlock my phone
Then i installed Mobile ODIN Pro and upgraded to a ICS ROM (India). The upgrade went fine and as expected, the root still remained but somehow the network lock appeared again :crying:
I tried to use the GalaxyS Unlock Application again but it does not seem to work. While I am executing step 2 of that application, a prompt asking for Network Key Lock appears. I choose "Dismiss" on that prompt and it seems to have completed the step but nothing happens. If I go to settings to see the mobile network then i get a message "Insert SIM Card to access network services"
Appreciate if someone could help me out.
Is there no way to upgrade to ICS and still have the network Unlocked?
Or is there a way to unlock from the present state of my phone?
use this.

No you don't need to unlock the bootloader as iur device is practically made unlocked. So yeah it is unlocked already. Just flash the official 4.1.2 JB samsung firmware. No root needed.

No you don't need to unlock the bootloader as iur device is practically made unlocked. So yeah it is unlocked already. Just flash the official 4.1.2 JB samsung firmware. No root needed.

We do not have to unlock bootloader.
Install CoCore kernel, you will get custom recovery. And install ROM with it.
1. ROOT.
2. CoCore.
For first install of CoCore do this: Install Universal kernel flash, and some explorer with root permissions like Root explorer or ES file explorer. Download CoCore zip, unpack it and use kernel.bin.md5 file with Universal kernel flash. After that you will get CWM or TWRP (depends what CoCore version you choose). From that part you can change kernel by installing its zip from recovery.
3. Download JB custom ROM, copy to phone - and install it from recovery.

Yeah just like shut_down says above..we do not have to unlock bootloader. We can just flash the firmware. Sorry for the confusion.
This guide will help you with the whole process of upgrading and installing custom roms.

You do not need to do it again, but you could. Because there are some other files in that zip - and those are not being installed with Universal kernel flash.

When you flash stock JB firmware (not ROM) you get all stock, ready to pass warranty.
If you want to go to GB, you need to follow guide how to do that. Because you will get bootloop if you just flash GB from Sammobile.

Firmware is untouched system, for flashing with Odin. And ROM is modded files that can be installed with custom recovery. In short.

Download JB firmware for you phone and install it with Odin, like you did that kernel. That kernel is for Gingerbread, that's why you get that problem. It will be fixed. Btw we do not have Odin flashable kernel with TWRP, that's how I know it was for GB. New time download CoCore for JB and unpack it. Use kernel.bin.md5 to install it with Univeral kernel flash app and some root explorer. You need to root it first with Shaaan's method.

Another problem, JetMod is for GB, you can't install it on JB.
Flash stock rom via ODIN simple
