Here's a simple way to remember
- Nandroid - full backup your firmware and phone system (via CWM)
- efs backup - backup your imei/efs (via app)
- Titanium backup - for apps and data (via app).
Yes..you can use Odin to flash stock firmware without rooting. No increase in binary counter if you flash official stock firmware.

I got a seldom used Melkco genuine black leather flip down case for sale..cheap..cheap one if you're interested :-)

~~Aiyohh..only just recently ordered the Masstige Ostrich navy blue colour :-(
Y U TELL NO HURRY..!!

I used KTool to do efs backup. You can do full wipe by using CWM or via phone setting > privacy > factory reset.

As long as it can lasted a day, for me it's consider enough and normal. You can always charge your phone when you went to sleep. ;-)

Happy weekend and enjoy your new GNote.
~~Cheers~~

You can ask @fallenangelz..as far as i know he's XO skin towkey for bulk purchase ~~LOL~~

It's a Samsung OEM product.

You can fully restore when you flash back original full stock firmware into your phone. You can get the firmware either at xda or samfirmware.

You're still using custom kernel (netchip). You had to flash FULL original stock firmware in order to change it OR flash stock kernel only. I advise you use Mobile Odin for flashing kernel.

If you cannot understand the meaning or the procedure then it's better for you to stay unrooted and use stock roms. The phone is already good enough to be used without any tinkering or rooting. You can always use 3rd party launcher to customise your phone with tons of theme that you can ply with.

Good for you.!! :-)
You can customise your phone with various theme even without rooting. Explore your phone first and enjoy the experience. Once you're fimiliar with all the settings, all the apps and its function then it's much easier for you to understand about tweaking and rooting.
Good luck.

Any Abu, Muthu and Chia shop will do as long they sell SME set. All SME set is the same whether you buy from Samsung or from ordinary small kiosk/shop. You can even get a cheaper price that way :-)

Gain access to the phone system..yes.
But have more free applications..NO. There's BIG different between rooting and jailbreaking. Rooting won't get you any free apps as per jailbreaking on the fruit phone. :-P

Using Odin can increase you binary counter. USB jig can be used to counter this, if i'm not mistaken. But i prefer using Mobile Odin for flashing. Use Odin for rooting only and after that all can be done via Mobile Odin without any increase on binary counter :-)

Jailbreaking used for iPhone only. Mostly to gain free apps illegally. Rooting for Android won't give you the same thing as jailbreaking. Better steer away from downloading illegal apps as that sort of things can spoilt your phone with hangs, freeze and force close. It may even harm your motherboard.!!

First of all..there's no need for you to clear up your RAM as your phone has plenty of RAM. Most apps use RAM (cache) so it would open faster when you need it. If you clear the RAM, this same apps will start using/filling it up again and again. Hence you're using more battery juice and disturb your phone deep sleep.
Just leave the RAM alone as your phone can manage its RAM on its ownself. Clearing RAM and killing apps was for old Android (below Froyo) that comes with smaller RAM capacity.

You can't flash full firmware with CWM. You need either Odin or Mobile Odin.

LA6 is a Russian firmware while LA4 is Germany. You can still use both in you GNote. Our local latest firmware is LA1 or full DXLA1.
You can download all the firmware from
www.sammobile.com

Yippeee, my bad gal casing has arrive..!! That pretty fast.
Finally got my hand on Zenus. Otherwise had to use Melkco or Hoco..! Thanks Troll Comrades :-))
