Can you confirm if CWM and Root still work using this method? I recall reading a user comment that the icons might still be intact but root did not work.

yes, all works great.. both cwm n root.... biggrin.gif

my question was whether the latest firmware update will break the root.  I think i found the answer from reading in this thread and elsewhere - it will break the root if you update via Kies, if want to keep the root, need to download the firmware from sammobile and update thru Odin Pro, correct?  huh.gif

just started downloading the firmware from hotfiles now.  Will update tonight only after getting crystal clear on what is going on.  sweat.gif

Use Mobile Odin to update firmware ( in tar format) and replace the kernel file with CWM file ( extract it down one level to tar format) and flash. You will get the CWM restore bcak

The Chainfire file matching to your kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784

the problem is all KL* firmware if you run the bat file, most users has reported cannot successfully have it root and CWM installed. My method overcome this

I bought an original Samsung Galaxy Note...

I had bought this phone as at first I thought the 1.4Ghz processor would be much more superior to the Samsung Galaxy S2 19100 model..

Indeed, not much difference..

My question is that when I immediately bought the Note, I put in a 4.2 Gb 720p AC3 mkv blue ray video...
No doubt that the playback is wonderful..
But then when you try to fastforward, the Note just crash..
It hangs and then I have to press the home button..
I was not satisfied and I keep on trying and trying for 6 more times..
In all times it still crashes the stock video player...

Does anybody else face this problem?

Ok guys, I confirm a bug, at least on my Note... maybe it's a firmware bug...if you set your phone to GSM only (means you are on EDGE).. you will get out of service error when calling and receiving call.. Maybe you guys can help to test out...

Go to Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Network Mode... Set it to GSM only.. then try calling... see if you can make successsful connection... I'm on stock ROM with Maxis line...

Don't use stock video player... I'm surprised it can play the mkv file... btw, are you sure you can copy it to your SD card.... it has to be less than 4GB file becasue of FAT32 restriction...

if you want... try MX or Dice player..

I'd say you are pushing the Note over its limit - a 4.2 GB mkv video file ??? It is amazing that you can still play it

When you downgrade, will it wipe your data?

Really??
My S2 also can play 1080p blue ray movies..
I have no complains about the playback, it's buttery smooth..

Only the fast forwarding part is a problem..
But what I noticed, not sure whether it's the processors limitations or the hardware's limitations..
Anything below 4Gb can fast forward even though its 1080p blue ray...

But above 4Gb, it seems to be unable to fast forward...
The same story goes with the Galaxy S2..

I am now waiting for the S3, hopefully Samsung will do something about it..

u are forcing your note proc too much ..
Even my Destop core 2 dua 2.8ghz and graphic card 4 series also got problem while fast forward 10gb Full HD Avatar.It stuck & slow response .
So maybe Galaxy S3 cant really solve your problem, u might need to wait until S4 or S5 biggrin.gif

Confirmed that, was around in V2 or V3 of this thread. Just switch to Auto (GSM/WCDMA). GSM connectivity is terrible.
