[Q] How to Upgrade to custom rom (ICS/JB) via stock recovery. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all!
My note is running stock GB XXKL8 and want to upgrade to custom rom (ICS/JB). I cannot use the PC odin since it cannot detect it due to faulty usb port of my note so my only option, FOR NOW , is flash via CWM. (will send it for repair next year). It seems stock recovery cannot flash custom rom because it show signature verification error.
Please advise what to do. Thanks.

Are you rooted? if not then root using any of the given methods for GB. then you will get CWM. then you can flash any rom

I'm not rooted that's why I'm having this problem.

There is a way around. Keep in mind that this will install an ics kernels and you phone won't boot normally. But you should have access to recovery. Do at your own risk.
Download the rom file you want to install and download philz kernel ddlr9 zip file. Place the kernel in the ext sd card. Boot into recovery and choose update from ext storage. Browse for the kernel and install it. Once done power off the phone and reboot into recovery again. This time you should see PhilZ CWM. Now you can install the rom you downloaded.

faulty usb port on your Note 1? booo, that's not good.
hopefully it's not your Note 1...have you tried a different PC? Maybe the USB on your PC doesn't connect to your Note very well? (and use the original micro usb wire that came with the box as well.)

Yes. It's my Note 1.
Already tried it in different PC and use original micro usb wire. No luck.

It is required that the zip file in external sd card? It seems it cannot detect my external sd card so i copy it in the internal sd card but it shows error: signature verification failed.

As the usb is not working, very limited options out there.

I wonder if there is philz kernel for kkl8? maybe that should work to avoid the signature verification error.

Isnt that a GB kernel ? its safe and philz didnot patch it

Yes, it's GB kernel. Even though it's safe for brick bug but don't have root and cwm.

for cwm there are other kernels and supersu.zip and busybox that can be installed to get root.

But not via zip in stock GB recovery. Doesn't Chainfire have an app that uses exynoss exploit to root phone?
Found it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
Edit: download the app and tap on it to install. You will have full root and then be able to use mobile odin to flash cf-root or abyss kernel. From there you can do wipes and flash ROMs safely. Good luck:thumbup:

hi shoey63, thanks for your tip, I tried the app but it shows error saying my firmware or device not exploitable. It also breaks the camera. Now I cant use my main cam anymore!
Are there no other way?

Hmm,.. best it to flash a stock ICS rom and install philz kernel from recovery and get root

how is that possible. if your device isn't exploitable, the program won't even start up.

It just show a notification that my device isn't exploitable, so it is weird that my cam was affected after installing it. The installation may have injected some codes or files that makes the camera break. When I open my main cam it shows camera failed. Hope Chainfire can fix this or there is some work around to fix it. Right now I can't even use a PC to reflash it due to my faulty usb port.

Could use some more info..
Also - Why are you trying to install "nothing"
.........Sorry could not resist....

External sd, that is stock recovery. You must flash speedmod k3-9 kernel or notecore kernel to have CWM recovery before you can flash zip files.
Do not use the CWM zip there is posibility of hardbrick.

When you press external sd the file you looking is also in the external sd or it will not register.
By the way do not use the CWM zip its bad for your note.
Sounds like you either OTA / KIES updated and lost your recovery -
Flash SpeedMod / NoteCore via PC Odin should sort it out...
Definitely sounds like stock recovery
NOTE: DO NOT use Old CWM.zip method to inject busybox - Install a safe kernel via PC ODIN and then use Triangle away

Problem installing any zip from recovery

Hello,
I have a galaxy ace S5830 phone. I wanted to install ICS 4.0 on it. The phone is rooted and runs 2.3.4.
When I try to install any zip file from recovery it gives an error saying "E: Can't open /tmp/sideload/package.zip (bad)".
I just cannot install any zip file.
The phone has android recovery 3e.
I formatted the OS (factory reset) but it didnt change anything. Formatted SD card too but no use.
What is the possible reason behind this error?
Any solution is highly appreciated.
flash cwm.

The log you posted states that the zip file is corrupted...have you tried to redownload cwm and flash it again? It's impossible that you are able to flash the zip for root but not cwm...it must be the zip's problem...

Well, I tried with different zip files of CWM. It is not working. The zip files are not corrupt since I tried them on my friend's ace and they worked fine.
I did not flash for root. I rooted through superoneclick since the flash was not working.
Also the error given is not for my zip file. It is for some package.zip (I dont knw what is this zip file neither do i knw its location tmp/sideload)
Different zip files of cwm?where you get that many? Try to refer to this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12874680...install the cwm from there...and if it is still not working, reflash a new firmware (2.3.6 for most countries) via ODIN and try again...
And one more thing, in stock recovery, you must select install zip from external storage (or something like that), not from cache...you will be brought to your sd card to select the relevant zip file...

With due respect Sir, Different zips means CWM zips from different download sources.
I tried it with 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.6 (installed them via ODIN). But seems that firmware doesnt make any difference to the recovery. Keeps on giving the same error.
Thanks for the link above..let me try that out.

I am flashing from SD card only.
But, its not working, I need a method to install CWM without flashing. Since, I already have a root, is there any software that can do that?
P.S Tried ROM manager free version. It asked for premium version. Tried cracked premium version, while installation it says "Application not installed".

How to install CWM without flashing kernal on ICS 4.0.4 INDIA

Hi,
I am trying to search a tread where i can find the way to instal cwm recovery on galaxy note n7000 v4.0.4 without flashing kernal.
Every where it is suggested to install safe kernal but i dont want to do that.
i have rooted my phone using latest method mentioned below.
Now i want to install CWM recovery so that i can install cm9 or 10 or other ROMs. Kindly Suggest a way
"Rooting with stock recovery - Thanx to Entropy who direct this way,as well always looking for safety measures for us, Chainfire for creating great tool SuperSu (and many more), Phil3759 as files,scripts derived from his Thread and Linus Yang for Busybox.
- Download Root_SuperSu 0.94
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card.
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install zip from ext SD card
-select 'root_SuperSU-*.zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
-You can see superSU on appl drawer. open it and update.
-Now This will give you only SuperSU not busybox, though application which doesn't depends on system busybox will still works.e.g.Titanium Backup.
-To get full Root+busybox, Download Root_busybox *
-Copy Root_busybox* only to Ext SD card
-Reboot into recovery, Select Install zip from Ext SD card. select Root_busybox* .zip and Flash.
-Done !"

No you can't get standalone recovery/CWM that way. another thing, you want to flash CM9 on stock ICS that is dangerous, it can brick your device.
Safest way is flash prerooted GB ROM(one on my signature) and use CWM (U will get along with prerooted ROM) to install CM based ROM.

Once you brick device you will need to change motherboard.

if so, which one of the tw kernel should i be using? i will need to flash them using pc odin using the pda tab rite?
thanks man
Try aroma file manager, you can access file manager from rcovery and try moving file to desired location.
OR flash hydrakernel, which is universal, which can boot your device.

[Q] About Root Problems

Hello fellas. I know you don't like these kind of posts and I agree you're right but I'm completely lost. That's why i'm making this post.
I just installed official 4.1.2 stock rom and it says N7000WELSA rom.
I want to root this. I used "PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6" kernel to root that. But after i flashed that nothing happened. Can you guys give me a light on the topic? I'm really new to that stuff and can't see my way out here... Thank you !
How did you flash it? Zip from stock recovery?

Well i downloaded the file "N7000UBLSF_N7000UUBLSF_N7000WELSA_HOME.tar" from Hotfile. And put it in PDA in Odin3 v1.85 and flashed it. I'm writing down every detail because i may have done something wrong.
Then i downloaded "PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6.tar" and flashed it the same way.

I used the above tutorials to do so.
If you have used odin to install philz kernel, it will not root. You need to flash the zip version. Or use the supersu.zip file from the following post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
You should now have Cwm recovery. So either flash a zip version of philz kernel or supersu
To get into recovery, use Vol up + power + home

As you are using LSA rom, shouldn't you be using the LSA Philz kernel? For the next time, just flash the zip version in stock recovery and you will get all at once. Root + CWM recovery + Safe kernel.
I don't think it's the rom he's mentioning. It s the baseband for new lsz of a different region.
Do i have to have an External SD Card to use this method ?
now no as you should already have cwm since you pushed philz tar

My last question; Is there a way to format the phone to a state that is just just unboxed? Empty sd card. No programs. Everything clear. My battery is running out real quick and the phone started to slow down a bit. It kinda laggs... And when i flashed the rom it just upgraded the OS. Everything is still the same. Widgets , apps... they are all staying.
??? i dont fully understand. you want to revert to ICS?
No no. I wanna keep JB. But this flashing just upgraded the OS. No files were deleted or so. I just wanna completely format everything on the phone.
yes cuz its a non wipe rom.. boot into philz recovery and wipe data
Thanks again. It did work out. Well i tried to format usb storage using settings>storage> Format USB Storage. But nothing happens and it doesn't format it. Is there any other way ?
Yah. Connect to pc and delete.
Is it safe to select all and delete via computer ?
yes
