I did a test install of the prerooted German ICS rom using Odin in PC
The rom can be downloaded from here :

If you read this thread, apparently several issues experienced by different users – flashing got stuck midway, phone cannot boot, root is not available after flash
This is my experience : successfully flash with FULL root obtained. NO yellow triangle in bootup
Odin Flashing – took me 13 mins ( longest period I have ever experienced in using Odin in PC ). FactoryFS stage took 3 mins while Cache, Hidden ,Modem took another 10 mins
Booting up : the installation bar seems stuck for about 5 mins without any progress. I took a risk and take off battery and switch on phone. It boot back to the quarter mark stage and still show phone is stuck installing. Took off battery gain and attempt to boot to recovery mode – recovery mode not found and phone boot back to stuck install stage. Took out battery again and switch on, finally phone complete install in 3 mins
Phone boot up successfully and hung at Samsung logo for more than 10 mins
I suspect is due to the flashing did not wipe data . So I switch off phone, boot to stock recovery mode and select wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. Phone finally successfully boot into the ICS rom in another 3 mins
Tested superuser with Titanium Backup, Root explorer and finally Mobile Odin – works perfectly
Than I use Mobile Odin to flash CF root LYP kernel to get clockworkmod recovery. Tested and CWM successfully installed
Hope this will guide any potential users who wish to flash this pre rooted German ICS rom. Point is DON’T PANIC if you get stuck

Wow, NO yellow triangle, NO custom binary counter increase with PC Odin? Is it something like pre-rooted ROM by bodivas?

i want to ask some few questions. Im currently using zsla2 firmware version (asian) and cant find an easy way to root my gnote. I wanted to flash my note to an old stock version before rooting but decided not to do it and wait for official ICS update on our country but unfortunately until now we dont have the ICS update.. You provided a link for ICS/ German version and i want to ask if i will flash that ICS you provided on my Gnote that is currently on xsla2 version, am i going to experience some problem, like data wipe or compatibility issue? is it gonna work? and is that an official ICS update? Im just confused why it have so many firmware version and if im going to change it to another version will it have an impact or changes on my handset? This is not the first time i had an android and definitely not the first time to root a phone. But this Samsung galaxy note Firmware is giving me a headache and i dont want a bricked phone…TIA
