very vague question so difficult to provide you with an answer
how ever
have a read through the forums and you will learn about what those are and how to flash them and how they work together

Sorry, just a newbie here, but thanks for your reply.
Can I ask you where I could get this stock rom? I am planning on getting CM11 but I wanted to have a contingency plan first.

You can get original stock ROMs from : sammobile.com/firmware
Type on dailer *#1234# to see your current AP, CSC and MODEM version. Notice or note your AP,CSC and MODEM version (you need it if you want your original firmware back)
If you want your original stock ROM back then go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ type your noticed version in the fields (PDA, CSC, MODEM) and download it. done!
Check Screenshot!
Note : you need a SamMobile account for downloading firmwares

Thanks! One more question, I have read that the kernel also changes when I flash CM11, if I would like to revert to Stock do which file is the kernel? Is it the PDA, CSC or Modem? I'm now downloading my stock rom from sammobile thanks to you!

In PDA
if you install a custom recovery example TWRP or CWM then you're able to backup your current Stock ROM and safe it on your PC, laptop or external SD card till you want it back . If you want your Stock ROM back then you can simple restore it via custom recovery
Note : a backup of the Stock ROM take very often more than 2GB!
Good luck with flashing

Thanks! Does installing cwm requires rooting?

Stock ROMs

Guys, even the ROM customization has already started I think that very useful would be to have stock ROM backup for the warranty claiming cases. I found site with links to different SGN stock ROMs. I have not installed any of them so be careful.
Here is the site:

Hello,
What's naming conviention for firmwares?
is KJA newer or older than KJ4?
*CodePages links on sammobile are not working.
Thx
can someone start up a Note wiki page here on xda..
It needs someone with an obsessive attention to detail, and all consuming passion to list and catalogue everything, rom wise especially!
(counts me out)
that way we can point people to it easily..

[LEAKed ROM] ***Android 4.0 Leak for N7000*** XXLP1

After the last ICS leak yesterday came out for the Samsung I9220 Galaxy Note,
we now come with the first ICS leak for the Galaxy Note N7000.
The Galaxy Note N7000 is more popular than the I9220.
This is of course because the I9220 is actually only for the Chinese market.
Luckily we got our hands on the first ICS ROM for the Galaxy Note N7000.
This ROM is based on Android 4.0.3 firmware number as N7000XXLP1
We expect this ROM will still have many bugs.
Especially since this is the first leak.
BEcause this is a CUSTOM rom your CUSTOM binary will walk.
Below are all our screenshots plus a little video of the rom …
If you want to talk about this firmware you can do so through our forums.
Downloading is also ony via our forum topic.
On our FW page you only can find OFFICIAL firmwares by Samsung.
This rom is a early CUSTOM rom by Samsung based on Android 4.0.3.
Samsung did the same by the Galaxy S II. (I9100XXLP1 – I9100XXLP2 both CUSTOM by Samsung.)

hi, how to install this rom safely?
I'm on the cinese rooted+cwm one now, is it worth to flash this?
So if im reading correctly, this is a different rom to the chinese yesterday ??
Because this rom here is on sammfirmware for the i9220, yet you say its not for that phone, so you can see why the confusion, so any further info would be appreciated, as i suspect this is just the same rom that chain repacked ?

Use mobile odin - this is not a CWM zip as far as I can see.
So, can this be updated with CWM without losing root and keeping CWM?
I'm guessing:
1. Update ROM using CWM but keep old kernel.
2. Update Kernel using CF-Root kernel LP1.
Will that work??

I use the original rom and I really don't know how to find "lagfix" original for my phone anywhere. Now I need a solution to get back capacity. Pls.
That is the problem, lagfix goes on custom kernels and roms. You must install original rom again, i don't think that you can just uninstall lagfix.
You need stock rom for you tab. Try to search around so you can find it. Also you need the correct PIT file to reformat your partitions and restore your storage space.

ClockWork Mod Recovery not working

Hello everyone, im fairly new to the rooting scene and I had a question about CMW. I would like to apologize in advance if the question appears to be off-topic.
Anyways after rooting my GT-N7000 and installing CWM, I wanted to backup my current stock rom before trying out the Jelly Bean AOKP ROM. I found a tutorial that explains the proper way of backing up your phone. So i followed them and powered off my phone, held Up volume, home and power buttons, however unlike in the tutorial video ClockWorkMod recovery didn't show up on my screen but the stock Android recovery did. I would like to know if I made a mistake during the rooting process, or is smth wrong with my phone?
Can somebody please take the time and answer this n00bie question because I wanna try out new roms as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.
I have included a picture of how my screen looks like when I followed the aforementioned instruction.

first of all, what ROM are you currently on?, second... It might be my browser or me but I can't seem to find your picture on your post above....
Just to verify, no picture available.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
It may be that you have root, but you do not have CWM. You can use Mobile Odin to load safe kernel (Speedmod, Notecore, Hydracore). You can also upload a secure kernel using Odin PC, but you will have a yellow triangle, which can be removed TriangleAway.apk downloaded from market. This way you get full root and CWM.

You've got root ok, just flash hydracore kernel which has cwm in built. Flash with mobile odin and you shouldn't raise flash counter, even if you do you can use triangle away to remove, then you're set to go.

If you have rooted and on a stock kernel.. then installing new roms are of a greater risk as this involves full wipe.. which triggers the erase...
its best to flash the hydracore latest version 5.1 using mobile odin... as this has latest version of CWM and is safe for wipes.. do a nandroid backup in recovery and then u good for other roms
With the root files which I downloaded from downloadandroidrom.com was included the franco kernel which upon flashing grants permanent CWM recovery.
Hope it helped.

Can I restore the GSM via Odin?
you need to install CWM (put on root of SD, Choose install ZIP from SD)

The GSM is a Ace but when I start up the GSM it's mentioning S5660 and that from the Gio!!!
How can I get back the software from the Ace??
