the Rogers method works... Yu already posted in that thread.
disable lagfix first if you want to keep it stock because the stock kernel doesn't support lagfix..
do that by creating /sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix
the V is capital in Voodoo

OK so you need a ported rom for Turkish.
you should download the rom you need ( it may have a bug where the first call has no audio, this is because its really for a different phone)
then get the gtg ultimate unbrick from the super thread in the development section.
then use Odin to flash the Rogers root kernel. the reboot may take over 5 minutes. if it gets stuck use the unbrick pachage to recover the phone, you will be on 2.2.1 if you do this so the root kernel will be different.
if it goes well and you don't need to unbrick then you will go into recovery ( hold the volume buttons and power till you see "Samsung" in white letters) once in recovery flash zip from sdcard, choose zip, find the rom.zip and flash it.

For all Galaxy Note KK8 users, root and bloatware free extremely easy

I am a noob in flashing roms for galaxy note. For all of you stuck with unrootable kk8 for Samsung Galaxy Note just follow
Dr Ketan's guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
or
Chainfire's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
Just follow the instructions, download kj1 firmware, flash with odin exactly as it says
and voila!!!!
Kj1 works flawlessly and it is already root and CWM included!
Amazing
It works waaaay better than kk8 with all telcel bloatware.
I can confirm it works with galaxy note from telcel, sim locked and it is non wipe. All your data will be there! Also no binary counter and symbol changes just as said in their posts!
Special Thanks to Dr. Ketan because he really helps anyone and everyone!
PS: you will only lose the touchwiz message icon in the lower part but you can always make a new shortcut in the upper part.
Good luck!!!
[Update! April 1st]
You can get the lost message icon very easy! (fixed icons touchwiz dock). Just press home to go to apps screen, press menu button, edit, and drag the icon you want to the dock!

Thanks, Noob here too.
I also have a telcel kk8 and to be honest it's overwhelming with so much info.
Did you flashed just the firmware or the whole room? on the list dr.ketan posted the kj1 it's from Poland and it's carrier is PLUS, is that the one you flashed?

Ok don´t get confused.
From Dr. Ketans signature http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3931450 download the file from the 4th line. He explains that to many users in his post. The fourth line says
"Downgrade to pre-rooted ROM- Flash This with PC Odin"
Download that file, it is a complete rom 557mb with name SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip. As said by Dr. Ketan it is the same file that chainfire mentions but the link is down in Chainfire's guide, well at least the last time I tried.
Follow the instructions from the guide! ONLY THE TITLE "When No Any other method works to Root your device, use this"
Just unzip to get the tar. That .tar is the one you choose in PDA. Follow the instructions just verify repartition IS NOT ENABLED! Just the options in red from the guide that I think are correct the first time you load odin.
Images that show all Odin options you need are in Dr. Ketan's post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Follow the instructions to flash with Odin and thats it.
Yes! it is as easy as it sounds!
Download file
Follow instructions to flash with odin
Unzip file, Select file as PDA, verify options
Get your phone in download mode and connect
Start
and after 5 mins at most you are downgraded to Rom kj1. You won't lose any data hopefully if everything goes well, that it should if you follow their instructions.
Please thank and if you can donate to Chainfire and Dr. Ketan for their amazing guides and dedication.
Also if you find this useful you could thank this post so I can move it to galaxy note development. I need 10 posts with thanks!
Best of luck and happy flashing!

Thank you my friend, i'm downloading right now, as soon as I'm rooted for sure will donate.
BTW, do you know if the note will stay configured on the samsung dive account after flashing? and the purchased apps from google play will still update?
And again. thanks for replying.

Nothing was lost when I updated mine, everything is working as it was before downgrading. Your Samsung account an google play will work flawlessly.
Really it sounds too easy and good to be true..... but it is!
The only thing I guess you could lose, is the possibility of updating OTA. But why would you want to do that and return to a bloated old rom?

Just to let you know, as Dr. Ketan posted sometime, you wont loose anything unless you flash a rom that contains data.img inside the tar file. If it has that file it will erase all your data, if it doesn´t, it will stay the way it is. KK1 rom from Dr. Ketans signature does not contain this file, so it does not delete anything.

one question

Don´t worry, that is common for what I´ve read and it can be fixed easily.
I did not have this problem but, I´ve read you could go into recovery and then wipe cache.
If you still get an error do the same for data.
BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA AND APPS as always.
Maybe a Nandroid Backup before doing it also.
Try it and let us know.
If you are unsure, I am certain that I read it in the same thread I referred from Dr. Ketan. Give it a try.
If you still get the error, maybe you missed something.
Maybe this post can help you:

brand new galaxy S 4g question

Hi guys! my friend just got a new galaxy S 4g and asked for some help customizing it. Right now, it's on stock 2.3.6 KJ6. gingerbread out of the box. I did some searching, and have a few questions:
1. Is ADB the only way to get it into download mode on kj6? I read in another thread that this particular firmware makes it difficult. volume down and power isn't working.
2. from stock, I'd like to get it rooted and flash a custom ROM and kernel. Should I flash one of the bhundven heimdall one-clicks? would you recommend the SMS kj6 or kj1? what's the difference?
If not, is there a better way to get on an updated root with CWM and kernel?
3. After this, I should be able to just flash a ROM correct? Finally, what's a good ROM for battery life and especially stability? I am leaning towards Valhalla Black right now but it's been awhile since I've been here.
4. weird question, is it OK to do all this without a sim card and SD card? lol...

thank you! yeah i realized the sd card thing after i posted lol. oneclick makes it so easy compared to before @[email protected]

Or you can follow the first link in my signature.

thank you sir. your guides are quite something. is there any benefit to using the first link over the second one-click link? one-click seems to be very easy and less likely for something to go wrong.

Whichever you are more comfortable with. Either way - back up efs folder. If you follow the second guide, when you are finished you can go back to the first guide for directions to flash a custom ROM.

You can also follow my guide if you would prefer (i only offer that up as I offer three ways to do what you want)

Will you put your guides back up or at least give me a link to the heimdall for dummies. Finally decided to start using it instead of odin and it GONE! LOL

Thread cleaned and closed as the OP's question has been answered.

[Q] NEEd help bricked my phone!

Hi guys I'm new to this flashing etc world. I used rom manager and installed the wrong clokworldmod and my phone only loads samsung galaxy s 4g screen. I saw the thread about not using rom manager but I already did yesterdey. I'm trying to gain access to download mode with odin but I'm not able to get in!

yeah, ROM Manager is a bad thing when it comes to our phone.
ODIN does not put your phone in download mode. There are numerous ways to accomplish that and those are outlined in a few different posts here as well as the wiki.
Do you know if you were on Froyo or Gingerbread before you tried to flash something? Also, what ROM did you try to flash? Going from Froyo to Gingerbread, and vice versa, requires you to flash the proper boot loaders.
I suggest checking out Lumin30's [GUIDES] Fresh out of box Galaxy S 4G [SOLVED] | Heimdall One-Click For Dummies. Awesome guides and they should get you back to a working status.

Reply
I was on Gingerbread 2.3.6 something like that, I wanted to flash to Vahalla Black but didn't even get close to that process sorry for my english. I will check the guides thanks for the fast respond! Thanks again already on download mode!

No worries on the English; you did quite well
Let us know how it goes and if you need help. There are plenty of us here that can help. Once you get the one-click installed, you should be able to flash Valhalla Black with no problem.
Good luck!

Just fine I think

Question about flashing ROM
Hi, I fell I'm missing something I don't know where to start so I can flash my already rooted phone with Vahalla Black. Sometimes I read use CWM, other post dont use it,etc I feel lost here. Could you just let me know what I need to flash, software etc.

Use the method in the guide in the first link of my signature. Look for Flashing Custom ROM's. You will be using CWM to get Valhalla Black on your phone. The guide has step by step directions.

Can the Verizon variant be flashed with the tmobile firmware???

Just got a note edge for verizon but was wondering if it can be flashed with other us carrier variants after being turned into developer version.

Yes you can, since a dev edition now. YMMV depending on the rom. I have a USC and often use Verizon based ROMs, but TMO ROMs work too. Might need some trials & good luck ? edit :beware flashing odin based roms, can relock or brick... !

what you mean with dev edition .my phone from verizon can i do it

I thought u said u had already converted to Vzw dev edition. If yes then follow cook directions for the rom u want. Example if it says Requires MM baseband then make sure you have the Verizon mm bb. Them flash your rom (twrp is standard nowadays) . typically u need a good kernel,so if rom doesn't have one or it's not working make sure u have a compatible version to flash from recovery. My N.E. is finicky w/ kernels. I currently use AKLU on Nougat AOKP ROM, by @AlaskaLinuxUser (very talented) . I recall LineageOS was alright, but something I didn't like? On MM I always had to flash Emotion-TW-stable-MM-r26-RC1-SM-N915 p or f (can't remember) after rom flash. I think I have posted somewhere on xda about this.
If I am not remembering correctly (YOU DONT HAVE DEV ED/? Bootloader) this is extremely dangerous! Always be cautious with any rom that needs to be flashed with Odin. These almost always have Bootloaders inside and will undo your dev edition mod, perhaps even brick phone. Regardless I would find the thread around here on Making a unbrick/debrick image just in case.
Its allot of trial and error really. Everything you need to know is in the threads somewhere. I'm so scatter brained IDK if anyone could understand if I do write a guide.
EDIT*** Iwas originally referring to @zidemizar post.He followed another thread converting his VZW into a VZW Dev Edition therefore his is unlocked! Beware if u haven't ?!
