I've been trying to flash the XXLA4 firmware as instructed in this thread. However, i always get a triangle with android logo when the process starts and then reboots. I've tried both with CWM manager & Mobile Odin Pro without any success.
I've been able to install it with Odin PC but there was no root so i'm back with a rootable ROM XXKL3. What am i doing wrong?
I've attached the relevant screen shots.
Make confirm you have extracted file after downloading ROM.
In case of using CWM, you shud place that file to 'firmware' folder of ext SD card.
then follow the steps as you have mentioned a link.
I did extract the downloaded file, so my file now reads N7000XXLA4_N7000OXALA4_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5.
The file is placed inside sdcard/external_sd/firmware filder and i've also verified the md5 with mobile odin pro.
As you desrcibe everything is OK, but in few cases Ext memory card can be faulty, Try to put file on Int memory n try with Mobile Odin
YES YES putting the file in the internal memory works!!! Thanks you so much dr.ketan.
BTW does it mean there is something wrong with my external card?
ya obviously

Please help guys. any help is much appreciated !
hi
take your card out and formated with your computer as fat32 it might be correpted
try gain with SD card method if not
use hard SPL method
Use the computer in tow steps and keep your mobile linked while you do the hard SPL flash and uploading the ROM with RUUtility_Kovsky
1 - Downloads the hard rest program X1_HardSPL_v1from xda and unzip
2 - Download the flash utility RUUtility_Kovsky from xda and unzip
Installation, remove the SD card from your mobile it might be corrupted
To lode the ROM to your mobile in tow steps
1- Flash your mobile with X1_HardSPL_v1click the EXE file this will take less than 5 minutes watch your mobile screen and press yes to add a small ROM
2- Don’t remove your mobile USB
3- IMPORTANT you have to copy the new ROM .nbh inside the ROM utility folder called RUU_Kovsky, select ROMUpdateUtility.exe its located inside the folder RUU_Kovsky and pres the ROMUpdateUtility.exe , and start upload your ROM ,this will take less 10 minutes
Put back your formatted SD card
Thanx
thanx for your help bro. but i still am not able to properly understand your methods.
Please explain them in a little brief and please provide the links for ruu_kovsky
It's a request.

most probably:
1- you don't have HARD-SPL correctly flashed
OR
2- the ROM you are flashing is corrupted (bad download or bad decompression or bad copy to the microSD)
PS: with the stock SPL you can still flash STOCK ROMS
WHAT TO DO ??
1- remove the microSD card and insert it into a PC (with an adapter or reader)
2- delete the current kovsimg.nbh file
3- CHECK the microSD for errors (right click -> tools -> scan disk or check disk)
4- COPY A STOCK ROM to the microSD and rename to kovsimg.nbh
5- Insert the microSD back into the phone, go to bootloader and flash
6- ENJOY YOUR PHONE AGAIN

You must put the file in the root of the storage card not in the folder..
and did u already tasks 29 your device..??
i suggest u use the 826x rom and use spl 0.78, because its most stable and has a good batery life...
this was the link that u can download the Rom.. http://www.826x.blogspot.com/
I open storage card and put that .nbh file in it and not in any file inside storage card.I didnt task29 before HARDspl.
and you can see the file in your file manager?
sometimes I experienced something like that and couldn't find the file on my sd, strange but true, I had to recopy and then it worked

rename the .nbh file to "kovsimg.nbh" place to sd card root.. turn off your phone.. then holdown the volume down key.. press the power botton together.. it will be a bootloader screean.. and notify u to upgrade...
hi all, after reviving a hardbrick, my phone was able to flash rom via odin, but when the process is finish n it reboots, it just got stuck at missing etc/fstab/, invalid argument, anyone got a solution to tt? i've tried stock gb n stock ics roms already
Just extract the file vold.fstab from another ICS rom and use a program like 7-zip to put it in the etc folder if this is indeed the missing file. This was what I used when I change the internal to the external sd card. You can also download the vold.fstab from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454753
It might be "missing" because that part of the partition is corrupted.

You might need to try a different recovery (like CWM or TWRP) or you will have to repartition your phone using a pit file in ODIN
I have exact same problem as you... I tried repartition with pit, darkys Resurrection rom db data but nothing seems to work. Have you resolved the issue? When I flash darkys rom I get rfs problem but I can't figure out how to add cache.rfs to Odin, any thoughts on that??

You sure you repartitioned properly? (Including format of internal sd card?) Did you use the pit file?

But did you format your internal storage? You should flash froyo as what you said in the other thread.
Woke up one day to a boot loop, don't know how to format storage since it can't mount sdcard and there's no way for windows to recognize it in this state! Do you believe that Froyo will somehow solve this problem?
How do you suggest I format storage?
Thanks for your help

If you had custom recovery, it would be quite simple. But since you are on stock, this is quite different then. When plugging in your phone into the computer after flashing a pit file via odin, you can't access the internal sd card, that's ok, because you need to format it via custom recovery or via computer. When plugged into a computer (keep your phone on recovery mode), the computer should ask if you want to format the sd card, select yes and format it. Then the sd card should be accessible again. Not sure if this is the same case on i9000 but should be similar. Even if recovery can't find the internal sd card after using pit file, the pc should still be able to detect it. I don't know why windows can't detect your phone's sd card. If you could flash a custom recovery via ODIN, it could bring you a step closer to finding the solution to your problem.

I'll help you with cache.rfs. Use the attached file in ODIN and select it for PDA. Don't know if it's too late but it's here anyway.

I finally flashed Froyo and got the option to format SD card in the recovery but it looks like my storage is corrupted (posted photo). From what I can understand from some research, it seems that emmc has two partitions and one of them got corrupted.
I read somewhere that I can convert microSD so that the phone will recognize it as primary storage but that requires some serious "magic" with ADB and is beyond my capabilities and probably not worth the effort.
I used this phone for work (my phone is LG G2) and I`m seriously suprised that it`s lasted for this long!
Thanks everyone again for their help!
Long story short -- I'm selling my Note 4 so I wiped/formatted EVERYTHING (used "format data" option in TWRP which required me to type "yes"). After that happened I found I didn't have an OS installed. Ok, no big deal right? I'll mount my sdcard and copy the stock firmware over than flash with TWRP.
WRONG. Every time I try to copy a file to either the sd card or the internal storage, I get the following error message:
"Cannot copy Trltetmo_N910TUVU1ANJ7_Stock_Deodexed.zip
Its file size is larger than the device limit."

Wtf? In file explore it says that the SD card has 29.7GB free space available. And internal storage has 24.1GB. Obviously something is not right here.
Is it possible that TWRP didn't format things correctly? I just want to know how to fix this so I can get the stock firmware back on this bad boy and get it sold. I have been out of the android scene for awhile so any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Also, not sure if it's worth noting but when I mount my Note 4 in windows with TWRP both the internal storage and sd card have like no file structure or files whatsoever. Completely empty. Also interesting is every time I reboot with TWRP, it asks if I want to install supersu or whatever to root the phone. I say "yes" but each time I reboot after that it asks me the same thing like it didn't actually do anything.
You can use ODIN to install Stock firmware on phone. So you won't need to copy anything to phone/sdcard memory.
If you still want to install that deodexed rom you mentioned, you need to plug your sdcard to computer using a sdcard adapter. TWRP built-in mount fails most of the times when trying to copy big files.

I guess that's not actually the "stock" stock firmware. Because the file I have is a .zip and is apparently incompatible with Odin. I will go to sam mobile and download the firmware there.
Do you recommend I download the most recent firmware should I flash the one that came with the phone?
Also, I hope that once I get the firmware back on, I will be able to copy large files when mounting normally once booted into the OS...

Yes, download the latest firmware and install it using ODIN.
You would be able to see and copy/paste to your internal and memory card normally after phone boots into android.
