Hi people.
I have a question.
When my Note goes to deep sleep mode, the screen blinks back on on it's own as if it's awaking from a bad dream!
It's frustrating, how can i make it stop?
Try jbroid kernel cleaning then reflash your kernel
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
mention your ROM and KERNEL....and its funny...i mean the Title of your thread
It's true! it's waking up from deep sleep and then all day it has a foul mood. I've tried doctors, i've tried everything, you are my last hope guys!
My Rom is N7000XXLA4, kernel is:2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6=CL907341 [email protected]#2(Do i really need to write all this when people ask me what kernel i have or would a shorter version suffice?)
I am on gingerbread.
Now i just noticed a thread registering the same problem i have under the title: Deep Sleep Problem
I have the same issue.

you have to read. AND READ A LOT. especially the sticky threads.
after reading and UNDERSTANDING, whatever file you need is usually mentioned on those threads.

ReFlash Kernel means you on the custom Kernel already, and if you on the stock, it's not applicable. You can just download the PC-odin 1.85 or 1.87, then flash the right official ROM for your country from the sammobile.com site, with hard reset before. OR, you can go to the custom ROM. OR, you can try just hard reset.
I am on official rom and i have just gotten the phone back from a logic board replacement.
I want to install a custom ROM and eventually go to ICS but first i have to fix those deep sleep hiccups.
I am trying to determine the best course of action.
In the following hours i am going to root my device and the reflash my rom based on this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462309
and then i am going to install CMW and titanium backup so i won't lose my apps(i really don't want to install them from the beginning.)
The rom i have will not update to ICS as it's brand new. Do you think i should wait or change ROM and get ICS?
About the kernel now, why is it important to flash the kernel other from this particular situation?
Also can you provide a few links where i can safely learn how to flash the kernel?
Thank you all in advance

Unfortunately i cannot provide the links, because i'm "new member". I'm only reading here, before today.
But, the course of action for you:
1) If you will flash the custom ROM with the custom kernel you do not need to deal with the sleep mode, because the kernel is controlling modes/clocks and ither vital parts of life of your phone. Kernel is the main part of the "soft" in your phone.
2) Remember the one most important thing: DO NOT USE wipe cache/format data, on the samsung official 4.0 - 4.03 in CWM. If you need to wipe, you need to install the Abyss kernel 3.9-4.2
How to:
You need to find PC-Odin 1.85 or 1.87, and the rooted ROM with CWM in *.tar format. Close all kies services with "task manager".
Connect your phone in download mode (home+vol. down+power and when is powerd on and asking you about flashing, vol. up), launch Odin. You will see yellow quadrant in odin. Then you need to click on "PDA", then selecting the downloaded ROM file, and do not forget the "pda" checkbox. Do not touch the other checkboxes, then Start.
Wait before it's flashed.
This is the basic guide, as i said, i cannot provide you with the links, so if you need something more - ask, i'll try to help you.
QA:
What is CWM? CWM is advanced recovery program. It's built-in in kernel. You can enter in CWM by pressing in powerd off phone home+vol.up+power.
Wht is kernel? Kernel is the core component of the phone ROM. You can flash it separate from other parts of ROM.
You can also flash separately the Modem (phone), CSC and UMS parts. Remember, some kernels do not support some ROMs, for example: If you'll flash the Cyanogen Mod, and then some Franco kernel, your phone will cannot start properly. Ofc. you can use CWM in this case.
This is scary to flash my phone? No, if you read all instructions, you can "breack it" in the only one case: you'll wipe it from the CWM builded in official samsuung 4.0 - 4.0.3 RoM.
What is "wipe/format user data"? This is the way to clear your personal data, and the other trash in your system. You need to wipe before installing new ROM.
What happens if i flash new ROM without it? Nothing, but some of your apps can work incorrect in this way.
How to flash kernel from CWM? Download the kernel in *.zip file, copy it to the SD-card, restart in CWM, install zip file. If you have *tar file, use the PC-Odin.

Your post has been most helpful
But i still have questions.
1st: What if i don't want to flash a custom ROM just yet? how can i get rid of the deep sleep hiccups without going off the official roms?
2nd: What will happen if i wipe my cache during ICS in CWM?
3rd: I recently flashed the CSC from KOR to EUR(I did it because i couldn't access Kies, and i chose EUR because it's corresponding to my country). My current ROM didn't offer DBT as an option. So if i flash it again and find an N7000XXLA4 Rom with DBT offered will i have the ICS update available through official channels?
4th: What does UMS stand for, what does it do?
Thank you in advance
Come on mate follow the instructions and flash rocket rom v6 the most stable one and enjoy it

1. You need to switch off your device, than remove the battery for ~10 sec. Then switch it on, and do not touch it before it's switched to standby, then wait about 35 minutes for deep sleep. But if it doesn't work, u can flash it with official firmware with Odin. Sammobile have all official roms. You didn'g get the yellow triangle this way.
2. You will brick your device. And loose some int. memory in advance (~4gb). Why? Because official samsung rom have an error, and it's rewriting your NAND memory again and again with full speed of your CPU and memory dying in the few seconds (about 100-200k rewrites supported).
3. What for do you need the OTA??? You can flash china, korean, even russian official roms through odin without fear. And then you can get OTA's. Custom kernels do not support OTA in any form. Just think: if you flashing custom rom, how you can get official over it?
4. Don't know ))) UMS - usb mass storage, i think, but i'm not sure in this. And i do not know what for we can use it.
Hi. I noticed I had the exact same problem yday on my note. I turn off the screen, 5 seconds later the screen turns on again (on the lockscreen), stays for 2 seconds and then turns off. Then another 20 seconds later repeat. My phone definitely was going to deep sleep (checked with CPU spy), but this "nightmare" thing was annoying. I was on RR v6 with Speedmod k3. I dunno what the reason was for this, so I just simply changed my kernel to Goku v1. The issues seems to have gone away now. I dunno what was causing it, but I am just sharing what I did to get rid of this.
I rooted my device(with CF-Root) and then flashed a kernel and then returned to my original one.
The problem is still here.
Later today i am going to try and return to a CMW friendly kernel and then flash the jBroid Kernel Cleaning Script that adamskoc mentioned in his post.
I will be posting results.
By the way even with the custom Kernel my activity from last night is summarized by this picture:
All night the phone was restless...
Yupp I've had this problem also before. The no deep sleep bug. To get rid of this follow this:
Put the phone in airplane mode.
Turn off the phone.
Take out the battery.
Wait for like a minute and put the battery back in and turn on the phone.
Wait for the phone to completely reboot and be stable (scanning usb etc).
Now turn off airplane mode.
I dunno whats the relation but I never had the no deep sleep issue after following these steps.

I did that yesterday. Didn't work.
I have just finished flashing the jBroid.
I will be keeping you posted.
/Edit: it's not working... I tried flashing a new kernel, i tried the jBroid script, i tried the airplane mode trick... Nothing. What the hell is going on here? Could this be a hardware issue? I just got my logical board replaced due a previous faulty one, could they have replaced it with a used one that might also have problems? I don't know what to make. Does that happen?
This is so screwed up...
Firstly I apologize for posting in Q&A's, due to the 10 post restriction I was unable to post in the rocket rom thread in android development and Q&A's seemed the second most ideal place.
After a day of horror, I tried merely flashing Abyss Kernel 4.2 but I ended up somehow in a soft brick accessing the recovery and download modes only. After ages I decided to try my luck installing Rocket rom v7 and it thankfully worked and my phone is up and running.
However, I have faced a couple of issues with it, of which the major one is the lack of response when hitting the home (center key) on my international version of the galaxy note. It doesn't work whatsoever, I've also noticed that the lock screen has disappeared too, so when I put the phone to sleep and wake it I get taken to the page I closed on rather than the lock screen. The latter I have fixed by using widgetlocker, although I am still oblivious as to how to fix the home key losing it's function.
Any advice etc? (especially if it's kept in layman terms, and nothing drastic... I despise flashing!!)
Moreover I was just wondering is there a set of instructions one could follow to return to a stock rom on the galaxy note via CWM?
Kind regards and thanks for your time

on what rom did you flash v7 ?
iam currently running it no issues at all, everything works maybe you 'll have to do a clean install just flash abyss kernel full wipe with it and reflash the rocketrom v7 using it dont not reboot until you flash the ROM since you flash a GB kernel on an ICS system....... wont boot just softbrick. watch it!
sounds like the system files a corrupt somehow and btw if case you changed kernel let us know too....

Ah yes sorry wasn't clearn.
I was firstly on ICS 4.0.3 stock rom XXLPY, I kept getting nagged about the kernel instability so I went and tried to flash Abyss kernel 4.2 (somehow stuffed it up ended up soft bricked). So I then flashed Rocket Rom v5 (after properly flashing Abyss kernel) via CWM. I think follow the steps to upgrade to v7.
Tbh I really do not want to mess with flashing and ODIN again >.> have become paranoid.

Grr couldn't find the post edit button, but tbh I do think it's a setting issue or so I am hoping I did play around with the rocket rom tweakbox and I imagine that may have been the cause of this issue or so I am hoping

Wouldn't that just give me 2 copies of rocket rom and cause issues? Or will it install missing files?
So I should just install zip from SD and that's all?
Ok I am redownloading now and going to give it a shot.
Moreover, I would love for any advice on how I can return to stock rom... any advice would be most welcome. I'd prefer only to use CWM.
Or if there is perhaps another fix the issue above? Any comments would be most appreciated!
First of all yes you can install zip from as and select v7 (no it won't harm it will overwrite all files Yes, I understand want have duplicates unless they are from another rom but again full wipe would have removed them from before so you are ok.
Well idunno about CWM stock rom I prefer you use either pc odin or mobile odin (recommended) just charge the phone to 100% and install mobile odin set you stick firmware on sdcard and select open file in mobile odin then in case you want the root keep options as they are and select wiping option both. In case you don't want root deselect the object superuser options and still check the willing one
About home key issue might be a script issue one of hardware files is messed up so I can't tell for sure which but mostly the files are at system/usr/

Thanks for all your help REVERSiN, just to update you.
I tried re-installing v7 rocketrom and flashing however still faced the same issue of the home key etc. So I kept a stock rom in my external SD went to CWM recovery and did a full wipe, delvik cache wipe and cache wipe tried installing the stock rom however CWM had issues opening it and aborted. So I installed rocketrom v7 again and voila it works perfectly now and seems brilliant.
I think I still want to return to stock eventually, but I refuse to use Odin, I tried using odin twice and both times it froze the first on factorycs (although my phone wasn't bricked) and the second time yesterday on cache so yah I have had terrible luck with ODIN and I refuse to use it,.
Nonetheless if there is way to flash stock rom using CWM would be epic. However, until I am 100% sure on how to do it I'll be sticking to rocketrom.
Thanks again for all your help and time!
There is a lot of talk about fried chip sets and dead phones with the note, is that when flashing or is it for rooting as well?
I would love to root as a few apps I want requires superuser privileges, but I want to make sure that I don't kill brick my phone in the process..
the BIGGEST issue is doing a factory reset on a STOCK ICS KERNEL
flash a safe kernel, and you will be fine !
Ok. But if I only need root access, could I not just refrain from doing a factory reset?
Is the problem really that with root access doing a factory reset in 4.0.3 can killbrick the phone?

In order to root the phone you can do it by several methods. The best method i would reccomend you is to flash a rooted kernel which is safe like the speedmod kernel n7000. The kernel will give you root as well remove the probability of you bricking the phone. It is also a very stable kernel.
Ok. But just so I am sure about this. If i root my phone and down flash another kernel. I cannot do a factory reset on my phone without it going brick?
So far i have not rooted, and I have not yet tried to do a factory reset since my ICS update a week ago. How about factory reset on stock non rooted? Would that kill the chop set?
I just don't see how rooting should make the difference between brick or no brick. If that is all I am doing
rooting does not cause the brick, Doing a factory reset / full wipe ON A STOCK ICS KERNEL causes the brick
If you flash a safe kernel such as abyss or speedmod, you can do a factory reset as much as you like !
I've tried 6-7 different roms, some were tweaked ICS roms and a few were CM9 based. I always flash Abyss kernel 4.2 and then wipe in recovery without any issues. If you go beyond root and decide to start flashing everything under the sun, it helps to have a gingerbread rom backed up that you can flash as a clean and safe starting point. Just read, search and ask as many questions as you need and you'll be fine. Its been said many many times but never perform any wipe without a safe kernel installed, that means wipes from recovery or inside the phones normal menu system. Once you adapt to it, the Note is just like any other Android device and really quite easy to tweak and play with.

@azzledazzle Can I just double check? I'm on GB. If I flash ICS, is the consensus recommending a flash of the stock, with a Speedmod kernel afterward using ODIN? Does this setup allow you to do something like a nandroid backup, i.e. do any of the modded kernals install CWM?
yes, use ODIN to flash ICS, One completed, let the phone boot, Then go back to download mode and flash speedmod, or some other safe kernel.
Speedmod will inject CWM and root into the device, So there you can make nandroids and upgrade to a different ICS Custom ROM
Would another way to do it be to follow the dr. K guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18978158&postcount=1
And then get the franco kernel from play store?

Hey all,
Quite confused here, taking the advice from the older threads I flashed using odin the stock firmware which I got from samfirmware and followed the instructions. Everything installed correctly however the phone will not boot :S
I ticked only PDA in which I entered the md5 file.
Came from cm9 nightly and flashed United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse) 2012 July 4.0.4 N7000XXLRK N7000CPWLP5
Any help is appreciated and needed urgently - Thank you.

did you make a nandroid?
if you could get into recovery, (and you still have CWM) it would imply that you did not successfully flash the tw-based kernel.
no tw-based kernel means that a TW-based rom will not boot (unless you had hydracore)
buut... if you do have the stock ICS kernel on there, and try to flash anything, you could brick.
so best bet is to flash GB via odin, then flash CWM, SU, and then flash a custom ROM with a safe kernel in it.
pretty dangerous to even use stock ICS rom
when u say phone will not boot? is it blank or stuck on GT N7000 logo or the Samsung glowing logo?
Its stuck on glowing Samsung logo, I'm in download mode now - what is the best option for me? Might just flash GB rom

getting into recovery is the opposite of getting into download mode. use power button/ volume up/ home instead of power button/volume down/home
but IMO safest thing to do at all is to just get yourself onto a safe kernel before doing anything else.
flash yourself a stock pre-rooted GB ROM via odin.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
this way you will ensure that you are on a safe kernel.
from there get yourself a working version of CWM and move on to whatever ROM you want.
are you trying to flash stock ICS for a service request for the phone, etc? you might be much better off with any stock-based ICS rom.
if after this you REALLY REALLY want a stock ICS rom, then use mobile odin to flash the ROM but use a 'safe' stock kernel with mmc_cap_erase disabled.
this is the closest you can get to bone stock but safe. (this will not even get you rooted).
another advantage of starting with pre-rooted GB stock and going from there is no raised flash counter either.

Doing this now, hope it works - using the GB rom from when I first rooted (from GB) so hopefully should work
its just a matter of doing a wipe cache and wipe dalvik and data wipe. but as u on ics u can't. unless u install a safe kernel. If you installing gb, then after that reboot into recovery
vol up + pwr + home and then do a data factory reset, wipe cache and all should be good

it's possible, but quite unlikely, that you have already hardbricked your phone between flashing stock ICS via odin and the boot.
more likely than not you are fine.
next time remember to make a nandroid. and never flash stock ICS kernels (or especially flash anything while already on a stock ICS kernel). these are the top 2 rules of having an n7000. if you follow them in teh future you will never have any problems
and please thank me if my posts helped
FWIW there were reports of hard bricks using the new stock JB kernel too, as Samsung decided to patch the bug 'their own way', which didn't seem to work. so only thing which is 100% safe is when mmc_cap_erase is disabled
Ah Relief - Finally got the phone booted into GB rom. How can I now install the Stock unrooted ICS room? Can't I just upgrade using OTA? I'm selling the note on ebay so need it to be fresh ICS.
as the phone is in the boot loop its clear indication that it's a data corruption problem and not a brick at all. Just need that wipes after ics install on a safe kernel

this way you will ensure that you are on a safe kernel.
from there get yourself a working version of CWM and move on to whatever ROM you want.
are you trying to flash stock ICS for a service request for the phone, etc? you might be much better off with any stock-based ICS rom.
if after this you REALLY REALLY want a stock ICS rom, then use mobile odin to flash the ROM but use a 'safe' stock kernel with mmc_cap_erase disabled.
this is the closest you can get to bone stock but safe. (this will not even get you rooted).
another advantage of starting with pre-rooted GB stock and going from there is no raised flash counter either.

as the phone is in the boot loop its clear indication that it's a data corruption problem and not a brick at all. Just need that wipes after ics install on a safe kernel

Thanks for this, you're right it wasn't a brick - I'm now on a safe GB rom but really want this note to be in a stock unrooted ICS rom for the person buying it off me.
Connect to kies and update. If not use the same ics rom and flash it using odin. This time phone will start.
Before that while on gb do a factory reset.. connect to pc and format internal storage for you to get rid of all data
edit:
post removed.
if you are selling it, then I guess bone stock (without even safe kernel) is the way to go
just bear in mind with my method it is possible to get onto stock unrooted ICS but with a kernel without the bug.
I am not 100% certain if the phone will update OTA with that kernel though, so I guess use the other method

with all due respect- this is not true.
yes, in the general case, this is a sign of a softbrick. and if he never mentioned a stock ROM, it would definitely be a soft brick
however, there have been folks with hard bricks who have had /system and /data partitions screwed up who have even booted all the way into the OS. yes HARD brick. implying that there are actual corrupted partitions.
updating to stock ICS rom will put the affected kernel right back on his phone.
flashing another kernel from the affected kernel brings chance of a hard brick. (yes even though hypothetically you are only flashing /boot. but would you really take that chance with /boot? there have been reports of other partitions besides /data and /system being messed up, FYI)
it makes much more sense to flash the ROM via mobile odin, which gives you the option to flash a safe kernel at the same time.
this way OP is never on an unsafe kernel.
just because very few people bricked from flashing a safe kernel off off stock ICS doesn't mean that it isn't possible.

So if I use the OTA install method, there is a risk of bricking my device? I really don't think the person buying my phone will fiddle around with roms and kernels - so what do you reckon I should do? Does mobile Odin download a safe kernel for me?
give it in stock gb only.. let. him upgrade

Hmmm this current GB rom is rooted though so you reckon its better to unroot it and just sell as GB? I didn't specify GB or ICS

Flash stock GB over odin.
if you wanted to be nice to the user, you could flash a ROM with a CSC corresponding to whatever region they are located in. That way you can factory reset and it will show up in the language they are used to.
If he is on stock, it will automatically go look for updates and tell him he could update

Might actually have to do that, this phone is european so it starts in German...since when did German become the EU language right?! We won the war
Hey people,
a friend of mine was on the official XXLRK. Had the phone for Paranoid flashed, but the system has spun halfway.
Then they wanted the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1970626
But madame was once again unhappy and wanted back the original state of the N7000. Then I got the XXLRK downloaded again and flashed over Odin as PDA. With boats for about 10 minutes, the Samsung logo turns solid back and forth, more happens during prolonged periods not wait. Einzuspielen at a Gingerbread software, the system messages such as showing "application needs to close" etc.
Question is: how to continue / front right?
Thanks for your answers

Flash a safe kernel via ODIN, something like hydracore / philz / speedmod.
boot into recovery, do all the wipes and then reboot, This should remove the FC issues.
but then it is a custom kernel not a official samsung right?
are there any instruction to go back to a fully working stock firmware?

Flashing fully stock is as above. Go to samfirmware and download stock rom, or Dr ketans thread, install via pc odin. Then if chosen ics, immediately flash safe kernel just to be safe.

Yes it would be a custom kernel, But the stock kernel is unsafe and I would advise any one to NOT use it, even if you are an average user not into modding and hacking, a factory reset or multiple file delete could cause damage.
however if you insist on being 100% stock, follow the above steps for flashing safe kernel and wiping, then after the wipes reflash stock firmware to get the stock kernel back.
Besides, stock is crap, custom ROMs and kernels offer way more speed, stability and features
