unable to flash from LB2 to KK1

---

I had Midnote 2.0 ICS. It was working fine.

I wanted to try a different GB ROM, based on LB2, so using PC Odin I flashed from Midnote to Stock LB2 ROM (downloaded from here).

But when I tried to root - I failed

so I wanted to go to a pre zergrush fix ROM (I chose KK1 -also downloaded from here); after downloading it, I tried to flash it using Odin PC.

When I try flashing KK1, after loading the three files (modem, CSC, PDA) and then hitting the "start" button -PC Odin does not respond -and my phone doesn't either.

I'm currently running an unrooted LB2, but I'd like to resptore some stuff I backed up with Ti Backup, plus I like using CF-CWM to do my flashing, so I need to root.

Is the problem because LB2 is 2.3.6 and KK1 is 2.3.5?

I am agree with schaggo theory, it could be the updated bootloader is the cause.
This is the one thing you can try with, flash bootloader first, then try to update with usual ROM. check phone bootloader update in odin n select same ROM file to point to bootloader box.
This is mere speculation, you can try if you feel it right. I recommend advise from schaggo regarding this too.

likely error on PC side rather thn device. b'coz it is not even started.
confirm you have driver installed, firewall closed, kies/any other PC sync not running, close anti virus
if possible, try other machine

This is all wild speculation though...

I agree to your theory, but there are some points that not let it digest.
1.I have seen a case, whose ROM was updated to LB2 by service center, but that guy was succeed to downgrade.
2.Who have updated ROM to latest DDLB2 with Kies/OTA, still able to downgrade.
So this problem i found is strongly related to ICS leak ROM n Angelom kernel fiasco.
though service center have successfully revive device, but not 100%, b'coz in all cases there was bad sector (non recovering) appeared, so i think it was running after service center repair, but might have few bad sector still.
I expect few words regarding this from your side, as i was already planning to discuss this matter with you.
Regards.

Thanks Dr ... I was advised another shortcut which worked ... I flashed the zimage.tar of abyss kernel 3.4 directly through pc odin and rebooted into recovery ... From there all wipes followed by rocket rom 22 backup restored followed again by cache and dalvik wipe .... Rebooted into RR22 perfectly .... Dont know how this fits into your 'bootloader' theory? ... The only irritant is yellow triangle .... any way to get rid of it (dont know if I'll get a jig in delhi!) ... Thanks again for your help and advice ... Cheers .... Envy

See i don't think yellow triangle is urgent issue.
once you get ICS official released (I assume, you won't try ICS leak now)
then there is application made by CF, triangle away, you can remove triangle n reset counter easily.
but it is not advisable to do any modding even with JIG right now isn't?
and i was also not completely agree to booloader theory, you can see few post above this, same thing i wrote to schaggo too. But anyway, still nothing particular thing fits to explain all these.
