Help regarding 'Franco.Kernal' updates for UK SNote please?

[liviococcia]

Hello Members, i have a UK SNote GT-N7000 and it's running ICS 4.0.3, it's also using the 'franco.kernal r5'.

The kernal was installed during a procedure i followed from RootGalaxynote.com on rooting ICS SNote without needing a computer to do it, (just running CW recovery.zip, then using it to installed files for superuser, then installing franco kernal r5)

What i've found is that there are updates of franco kernal form version R6 right upto R12 through web searching,, and searching this forum, do these updates apply to my UK SNote and if they do, should or can they be installed using the same method as i did when following the Rootgalaxynote video tutorial.

I know there is a Franco Kernal Updater on the Google Play market, and another one from the same developer specific to SNote, but this app hasn't been updated for a while or so the reveiws point out, anyway i'd rather not run any additional sofware just to update the kernal if it can be done in the same way as it was originally .

Any help from members, and any links to the correct franco.kernal version download for my SNote would also be a great help.

kind regards
Livio

That's an SGS3 kernel!

As far as I'm aware Franco doesn't support the Note anymore.

I also heard / read that the dev. of the Note kernel has stopped. I think V6 is the latest / last release....

Thanks Members, but I feel I'm still a bit confused so bear with me please.

So far my understanding from your replies is that the Franco. Kernal r6 is the last version supporting the SNote, but there are millions who have the phone and have installed franco's Kernal thinking that when Samsung issues the UK official ICS 4.0.4 update, and possibly Jelly bean's 4.1 in GNote's future, that surely the Kernal will need tweaking and have bugs working with these upcoming updates.

This is a real let down..... Franco, if your reading this please change your mind, and continue to monitor your Kernal for the SNote, after all, what will happen next when the SNote 2 comes out, we he drop SGS3 support, The SNote 2's only round the corner.

The other point I was confused about was needing to install 'mobile odin' if I was going to update to version r6. As I mentioned in my original post I didn't need to install any software to install Franco. Kernal r5 other than using CW mod recovery, the video instructions I followed (link below)

rootgalaxynote(dot)com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-ics-on-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-no-computer-required/

Also, if I wanted to download Franco.kernal r6, could I use the file copy from the same 'downloadandroidrom.com website described in the video tutorial above (address below)

I saw the video (no computer required root), you want to use the same matodo francokernel to update, simply download the zip file and flash CWM recovery!

Thanks devid801 for the help, and link to franco's thread.

I'll give it a go later today using the same install method, hopefully I won't 'brick' the phone doing it, I'll post back whatever the result.

Hi devid801, I followed what I did before and think the Kernal has been successfully updated, but can't be sure, if it has then the Kernal version of the phone now reads.....

3.0.15 - Franco. Kernal

..... Is the '#6' part above the indication that it is now version 6 (I know it may seem obvious to others, but I don't know for sure)

At the moment the phone running well, so a confirmation from you, or another member would be great.
