I was beak bootloader using fastboot. Everything was ok then i try to use miui and CM kernel.
And i follow this this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934965 to make Security on. For no reason but now i wanna flash a new kernel but i can't.And can't flash ROM too.
Now i wanna S-off to flash a new kernel. I was try to use fastboot but that said
INFODevices was already unlocked!.
What can i do for S-off to flash a new kernel. Please help me.
You don't need S-off to flash a kernel you just need a custom recovery. Flash Amon Ra or clockwork mod 2.X and then try and flash the kernel through recovery.
I'm using clockmod recovery. i can't flash a new kernel through recovery too. what can i do now? please help me.
thanks so much
Why can't you flash a new kernel? Does it come up with any errors? There shouldn't be anything preventing it unless the download is corrupt, or it isn't for your phone.
My files is not corrupt. If these file corrupt i can't unzip in windows. When i'm flash a new kernel everthing is notice done well and a ROM too. But nothing happened.
I don't know if my phone or is a reason in this case. Actually this is my phone.
So, it seems like it flashes, but it actually doesn't? Or you try to flash it and it errors out?
Thanks all for helping me. I was try over 20 files then i still don't know some file can flash and some can't.
Thanks you all again.
The only way to tell that your flash worked is to check your kernel version in Settings -> About Phone. Otherwise, there isn't much of a difference.
Hi ya all,
Just wondering if I can do this:
1) Flash to CF-Root kernel (As close to JV7 as I can get)
2) Flash CM7.1 for i9000
3) Flash Glitch v13.1 kernel (if it has CMW, does it?)
The reason for doing this is to get past the 3e recovery console, as that's stopping me installing CMW outright (from Rom Manager) which I need to flash Glitch.
Tbh, not even worried about which version of CF-Root I flash long as it boots... only going to be on the phone a matter of minutes.
So, will it work? Is there a better way?
Thanks in advance good peeps of XDA
If you come from GingerBread Stock Rom
so you've got System 3e
with 3e can't you flash Zip file over Recovery Mode
You Had Right Way but maybe make a little mistake
If you use CF-Root, then use pls the kernel with Addon CWM (I prefer DarkCore 4.1)
So you've got System 2e, after flashing Kernel
Download
[CF-ROOT] --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 (take the one with ending "-CWM")
[DarkCore] --> http://sourceforge.net/projects/ficeto.u/files/
*Important
to do before flash CM
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
*Optional
to do before flash Glitch Kernel
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

If it was useful don't forget to Thanks
Thank you very much very much diklooc didn't know about the cleaning before install CM7, could have been messy lol.
One more question, if I flash CF-Root with has CMW built into it, will I loose CMW if I flash Glitch?
If CMW will get deleted after flashing Glitch, or if no one really knows... can I flash CF-Root then get ROM Manager and reflash CMW? If I do this, CMW wont disappear if I flash Glitch? ...if CMW will dissapear after flashing Glitch this is.
I could be getting this completely wrong, plus I don't know if Glitch has CMW built in... if it does then there wont be any issues as far as I can see.
Anyone know if there is an Odin version of Glitch (I haven't seen one...)? Would save having to flash anything else as this feels like "the long way round".
Thanks again all, awesome community
You will not lose cwm from flashing glitch, indeed you will have a gucci custom cwm......
No requirement to use rom manager for cwm - that method hasn't really been used since eclair.

No odin flashable version of glitch which I have seen.

I'd love a little help. I'm new to Android and the Note - and love it.
I gave the Stunner ICS rom a try and it was very impressive but was missing Swype and the S-pen apps, so decided to go back to GB. I tried using CWM to restore my backup which failed... and left the machine not booting and not able to get back into the CWM recovery mode.
So I tried writing cwm to the recovery partition using heimdall flash --recovery... but I think I've totally futzed it. And of course the backups didnt backup the recovery partition! (From what I've read now, I think I should have flashed Abyss and then done the recovery... Sigh I hate being wise after the event!)
I have managed to restore the stock rom using Odin from windows - and it boots and works. Has the original recovery option. But when I try and flash say Abyss - it flashes ok (heimdall flash --kernel ...) but the reboot fails (yellow ! triangle) and Recovery boot does the same - warning triangle, and all I do is get the Download mode again.
So any hints?
Or has anyone got a backup of the recovery partition for an N7000 I could get a copy of and hints at how to restore it? (I think I can do cat file|adblinux shell "su -c 'cat > /dev/mmcblk0pXX' " but I dont know which partition is the right one - I suspect p6. Or possibly heimdall flash --recovery ... (do they take the same format of file? raw filesystem data?)
Heh - I'm not sure how but I seem to be out of the hole I was in. I flashed again the CF-Root kernel and managed to install my backup!!!
So it appears I dont need to recover the recovery partition. Thank goodness...
I suspect the reason was that the original GB ROM you flashed was not rooted.
The CF-root Kernel does add root & CWM, so now you should be able to get the Abyss kernel working too?? Wondering?
The answer might be useful to somebody else too ...
hello,

1. Where you find cwm.zip can you link me that page (not file)
2.Are you able to entre in download mode
3.You were on which ROM while doing this?
i downloaded cwm.zip with the busybox from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647148
yes i can enter the download mode
i am on the stock ics rom (which i upgraded the 2.3 to it)
please help me
and thanks for the fast reply
First you didn't know that zip is not available now, and you must have this which you downloaded earlier, that zip is abandonas it proved to use unsafe and can brick device.
Not only that, you souldn't have to wipe anything on stock ICS.
Anyway if you are able to enter download mode then flash any GB ROM you have already with you, otherwise download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin
ok i wasn't know that, anyway i downloaded odin, what did i need else? what you mean by "download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin"?
i didn't understand this sentence, did it mean that i need specific type of rom to flash it from odin?
thank you a lot
Yes download this
http://d-h.st/HJM
Extract it and flash with PC odin.

please reply thanks
with my respect
See everything is on your luck, I hope you get device working again with above said ROM.
But remember even after flashing ROM successfully, it may not boot up, dont worry. enter to recovery(vol up+hole+power) and wipe cache, delvik cache and data. then it should fine.
But if while flashing ROM, if it stuck then your luck is not with you and chances will be high you have bricked device.
Let report back, n Me or someone will guide you for next step.

if it is depends on my luck, so it is a problem anyway thank u a lot and wish me a good luck.
B'coz what you did was totally wrong and risky, and if any damage you had can only rule out once your device gets life again. So pray before flashing and GoodLuck from ourside.

yes it was been a wrong, and i didn't have the enough experience to do like this step,
i install the ore rooted rom (in your signature) and i flash it, before it finish flashing it stop and then give an error, and when i turn on the phone to the recovery mode it give a message "firmware upgrade encourtted an issue, please select recovery mode is kies and try again" what can i do please.
thanks
You should have noted down the error on that flash before you went to recovery mode. Every error is an essential part and you should take a note of it as this can lessen your upgrade issues.
So here's what your going to do. Turn the phone to Airplane Mode.
Try to reflash again the pre prooted GB room in download mode Once your successful doing it, download stock ICS firmware (in your region) from www.samfirmware.com. Don't use OTA updates as this will mostly fail. Just use PC KIES to update your phone back to 4.0.4 ICS.
Take it one step at a time and again next time, remember try not to be in a hurry doing it. It takes patience and a bit of luck in flashing and upgrading.
Yes as above said, reflash ROM by putting device in download mode
hello again
in the begining thank you for your help
i fixed my phone, in a shop specialized for these cases but i dont know how.
and my phone now returned to the stock ics rom.4.0.3
i would ask if i can flash a custom rom (jelly bean 4.1 for example) and what are the safety steps that can i follow to avoid any another brick to my phone? what do you advise?
thanks again.
if u on ics u need to flash a safe kernel like philz or hydracore. that's it. Now u r good to go
Is there any danger if i flash any of the kernels u mentioned? And does the phone remain working after i flash the kernel? And after i flash the kernel what is the next step? Flash the rom? Or there is any step required before?
Thanks a lot
yes the phone will work after flashing any of the mentioned kernels.
philz is the best for ics as it can be installed from stock recovery and it's safe and gives u root and cwm
then u can boot into cwm and do a factory reset format system, data, wipe cache and dalvik then install the new rom.
The first thing I had to do to root this phone was flash a kernel which put on CWM.
Then I flashed CM10.1 which put on a newer CWM.
Then I flashed on kernel which put on a branded version of CWM.
On my previous phone, the recovery partition was flashed separate from anything else. This seems a much safer idea as no matter what you flash onto the phone you can always go to recovery to mend it.
The way this is on the SGS, if I flashed the wrong thing I could surely break recovery as easily as the rom and be stuck. Is this a technical limitation in that the SGS doesn't support recovery as usefully as it might or what?
This presumably also makes it impractical to have the recovery I want? If I flash a touch recovery for instance then it's just going to be removed next rom update.
