Upgrade to ICS stuck in boot loop...

Trying to install the Cynogen ICS ROM, and when installing the .zip, it loads the Samsung flash screen with Cynogen, then get the green guy and loads of text for about half a second, then it just reboots. Over and over for about 10 mins. WHat went wrong? What should I do?

It happend the same to me.
I just removed the battery and put it back, entered in CWM and reinstalled the ROM.
Good luck!

I somehow got into a recovery mode, but with the assumption it would all go wrong again, tried to install the .zip Darky rom instead, went through the process and said it worked but then it just went back to the Cynogen loop problem!? I just tried a Restore instead, but I haven't rebooted yet, should I wipe everything again, and try the ICM .zip again?

Yep, just go with the whipe. I hope you did a backup.

OK turns out the Restore failed, so now trying to reinstall ICS .zip again. fingers crossed!

yep backed it up, not that its seems to have helped.
Well now it's stuck in the Galaxy S bootscreen...

that really sucks....did you deactivated the lagfix before running the rom?
If the problem persists you have to run a basic ROM using ODIN.

Yes deactivated the lagfixI can't get into recovery or anything now, except download mode.

Download mode is all you need to run a ROM with Odin.
I recommend Amestris, it is a good ROM, good battery life but the thread in not complete, there are some files missing...for now.

I've put some older ROM on I had, then tried to install ICS again but now when I use Clockwork, and select the file it goes to recovery but I can't select any zip files, just reboot back to this awful old ROM!

I had same issue when I installed ics, what I did that worked was pull battery and go back into cwm, reflashed ics zip and it fully installed that time. Had same experience when flashing cm7 before.

Not getting anywhere with this. I get an option to install zip from sdcard which is where the update is (an where the darky update also is which worked), but there is an option to update from internal SD, which is not where the file is. Is it in the wrong place?

I think you would be best to use Odin 1.3 to flash DarkyROM Ficeto JVT base rom.
are you sure those files are still on your sd card?
The reason you need to pull the battery and reflash the ICS rom a few times is because Samsung ROM (most) have a different partition layout to CM7 based roms (which the ICS port is one).

[Q] While Flashing Restart (after Checking state of BML/MTD)

I wanted to flash CyanogenMod 7.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S.
I flashed before a Froyo Bootloader (because I had Firmware 2.3.3) on it, copied the CM7.1 Rom on internal storage and tried to flash through Recovery.
While updating it shows me the install process till:
Checking state of BML/MTD
then it interruptes the install process and restarts the phone. But then it just shows me the Samsung logo and nothing happens (=freeze).
No chance to start the phone, altough I restart it several times.
Then I can flash again with Odin to the starting state again. The files for that I found here (german):

How can I flash CM7.1 now..?

Sometimes the cm7 rom will need flashed twice....you should be able to flash from any gingerbread rom also as cm7 was updated a while back to allow this. Try again, and if the phone starts bootlooping-pull the battery, replace and get into recovery-then reflash rom.

Unfortunately i cant enter recovery after unsuccessful flash. I have to use odin and flash back to old froyo... then i tried to reflash again to cm7.1 but it was always the same.
Thx anyway for ur answer...!
Hmmmmm ;(

no ideas? it is urgent.. ;(

it's really strange. it happened to me and I solved like this:
I removed the battery
volume up key + power button + home button
in recovery,I wipe everything and reflash of the rom
If recovery doesn't work, you need to reflash a stock rom, and a kernel with root and CWM

puuhh, at least another one who had this issue...
ok i understood that if i cant flash to cm7.1 then i have to chosse another rom, maybe just a stock rom.
but can anybody recommend a custom rom which will work? it is just a file system problem here, isnt it?

Done it!
Trying to flash the stable Rom didnt work.
Then i tried the nightly (181) and it took a while then it restarted. but when it was starting for the first time i got a loop while booting.
but this time i could enter the recovery (after stable installation it wasnt possible anymore) and i could reflash it (nightly again). and this time it worked!!! yeah finally after over 8 hours of work....
i hope i could help somebody who has got same issues

Glad you got it -and cm9 is now an easy upgrade from the latest nightly

Boot Loop after flashing stock

I was recently using Stunner ICS but decided I wanted to go back to stock and start over. I downloaded the stock N7000XXKJ4_N7000OXXKJ4 firmware and installed it through odin. I did not receive any errors on the phone or on my PC. But now it seems like my phone is stuck in a boot loop. It just keeps showing the samsung boot animation over and over. I used the download jig to get into download mode and tried redoing the firmware twice already with no luck. One thing I did notice is that the jig is no longer resetting the binary counter. Does anyone have any other ideas or is my phone possibly bricked?

This is supposed to be in Q& A section... Anyways... Did you try wipe?

What worked for me having the same problem recently is go to Recovery mode (Volume up + home + power) and you'll see this funny kinda recovery, not at all CWM Do a data wipe/factory reset and then reboot.

Same thing happened with me yesterday, wipe in recovery fixed the problem

I'm sorry. Mods please move to appropirate section.
Thank you guys. I was beginning to freak out. I was trying to do the recovery menu but couldn't get it to work. I thought the recovery menu was also hosed but I had the wrong buttons. All is good now! thank you so much!

First thing you need to do if you want to get back GB, flash abyss 3.9 redpill kernel.
After that flash GB rom.
So later you can flash whatever kernel you want

Hanging at Samsung logo; can't boot into recovery; am I bricked???
Hi guys...
I've been semi bricked for about 18 hours now. And it's starting to look like it's a full-brick.
I had the latest Gingerbread ROCKET ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, with the latest Franco kernel in place.
I thought I'd give the ICS version of ROCKET ROM a go. Flashed Abyss4.2 kernel without any hassles. Used 'advanced' to boot into recovery. Did my various wipes. Flashed the ICS Rocket Rom zip. And got caught up in the recurring boot-up, mostly upgrade, run, reboot cycle that's been described in many places.
Didn't panic.
Booted into recovery again, and flashed the ICS Rocket Rom again.
But this time, it wouldn't go past the SAMSUNG logo.
Still, I could boot into recovery.
Which I did.
And I tried to restore my Gingerbread build from Nandroid.
Tried it. But it hung on the Samsung logo again.
With one key difference... Now, no matter how much I try, I can't boot into recovery.
I *CAN* boot into 'download' mode. So I've used PC Odin to try and inject a rooted Gingerbread rom into the phone.
The instructions tell me to wait for the phone to reboot twice. Sadly, it tries its first reboot, and doesn't get past the Samsung logo. And that's where it hangs. No recovery mode either.
What shall I do??? Oh, woe is me. Etcetera.
--------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE
--------------------------------------------------------
I found a version of Abyss 4.2 kernel in tar format. I flashed it via PC ODIN, and I now seem to have a phone that can boot again.
Not much more to report at the moment, cos the battery is on about 3%, so I'm charging it now before delving further. Will give more feedback once the battery's up and running again.
Here's a link to the Abyss file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1072122&d=1337500067

I tried all of this, was on stock ICS 4.0.3 and had it rooted.
I tried to restore a backup which was sadly on GB and then the restore of /data failed
I then tried to flash paranoid custom rom and it was successful but the phone never went any further than SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE GT-N7000 logo
I then Flashed a direct rootable stock rom via PC odin and all was well but the phone would never go any further than the logo before mentioned
I tried flashing AbyssNote kernel via pc odin but the CWM recovery menu kept on rebooting hence leaving me with not particular choice to select
Tried wiping data, cache mem, dalvik cache but no use and now i am on stock recovery menu. please help me out

After Flashing Franco Kernel with CWM my Phone stucks at Galaxy Note Bootscreen

Sooo i ve flashed with Odin at the PC the XXLPY Open Germany ICS Firmware 2 weeks ago. Then i have rooted it with CWM and installed Superuser. Everything worked great but....
Yesterday i wanted to flash the Franco Kernel so i got the updater app downloaded it and in recovery mode with cwm i installed the zip. Everything fine after rebooting i got stuck at the bootscreen Samsung Galaxy Note i thought okay i try a wipe also it didnt help at all. In Recovery Mode it seems that the Note cant mount my external SD anymore :S so how can i fix the Note problem? Because i can enter Download and Recovery Mode so it isnt Hardbrick is it?
Thank you for tips.
Sascha

Franco is a GB Kernel not an ICS one
If you can get into recovery use Odin PC and try flashing the original ICS firmware from 2 weeks ago. Hopefully you can then reboot. If not try a GB ROM that will suit the Franco kernel. Hope that works for you.

Same happened to me, I pulled out battery and then put it back, after that went to recovery download mode and did the rest of the thing using PC ODIN.
I used GB ROM to get back. but still it sucks as FC errors.
After many FC I was able to navigate to setting and did the factory reset.
then once again I flashed the ICS Rom and now its working fine.

same works here also i tried at first gb 2.3.6 by drkategas thread so the original and then flashed the ics again and rooted it with cwm
everything as it used to be

Unable to fix boot loop. Tried everything.

Hi,
So basically I ended up with a boot loop somehow..long story. I cannot access my recovery..only my download mode.
I've already tried the following :
- Flash stock ROMs(All - JB, ICS, GB using Odin)
After flashing, All stocks ROM's go in a boot loop of the intro animation and glowing Samsung repeating again and again.
- Tried a FULL Flash - used a PIT file with a md5 of a stock ROM. Re-partition basically. Still boot loops.
Anyone has any clue what's going on here? Tried everything and thought it through and can't figure why it won't boot even after a re-partition happened successfully.
Would appreciate any help,
Cheers

Why can't you access recovery? What happens when you press the 3 button combo? Try with and without the USB cable plugged in. You could also try flashing philz kernel from Odin and then try if you have access to recovery. Then a data wipe should get you booted.

Flash some kernel with cwm, go to cwm and wipe data. After that just flash any ROM You want and it should work.
Sent from note, a phone like never before

its will be fixed with flashing the right rom..
im facing that kind of trouble too last night.. but succesfully fixed it with flashing with jellybean firmware..
