[Q] How to flash stock ROM on encrypted GNote - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Long story short...
1. Rooted my GNote,
2. Installed CWM,
3. Took backup (v1) of the stock ROM
4. Installed RocketROMv22 zip.
5. Took backup (v2) of custom ROM
6. Configured office email (ActiveSync Exchange Server), so it is now encrypted.
7. Installed "Kalagas_Mixed_Theme_Rocket_LA6_v1.1" but it seem to drain battery.
Now when I tried to restore either of these backups (v1) or (v2), it is going into bootloop
I am downloading the stockROM to flash with Odin3-v1.85 but not sure if it would work with encrypted phone.

How to flash stock ROM on encrypted GNote
phew... All is Well !!! Flashing stock rom with Pc ODIN did not go well first as it popped a 'sdcard mounting error' durng installation though it still said install completed at the end. Luckily when i rebooted, the boot password prompt came-up and cleared the encryption after login.
With successful booting & removing encryption, I did flash it once again to ensure it all goes well with no errors whatsoever.
Guess what... after a heart stopping ordeal for a day (though actual fix took 30mins) I can go back to sleep now peacefully
Thanks to all !

If I encrypt my device, will this cause issues with CWM and flashing of other roms?

Unless you use external sd for copying content it won't bother..

[Q] Noob in Need. Note in NoDroidLand

Hello All,
I rooted for the first time my Note 2 weeks ago, just with the Basic CMW and proper root to my kernel. It worked fine, but I wanted more, so I decided to try RR by Eybee.
Downloaded the RR v20, passed it to my SD Card.
I wiped the phone through CMW.
Flashed the .zip file.
I'm now stuck on the initial loading screen of Rocket Rom, it just keeps restarting.
I know I ****ed up someway, and would really appreciate someone's help...
Ty
I hope you did a nandroid back up in recovery before you flashed? Because if you didn't you are indeed up creek without a paddle. It is always recommended to do a backup before you flash anything through recovery. If you didnt then go on you're computer download another rom to you're ad card go into recovery and flash it or get the original ruu rom and flash that.

No I have not.. I did full sys+data recovery through Titanium backup. I can't access CMW , to be honest I only did it through the phone itself... I can only access the Download Mode and tried to flash back the ROM I used to root the phone, which was useless.
Am I missing some really obvious way to access CMW without being able to initialize the phone?
...
Edited:
Found it:
Going to wipe, resintall root that worked and go from there ty.
Edited:
Reinstalled Rocket Rom through CMW (Up Vol+Power Button+Menu)
Wiped.
Reinstalled.

Freeze

Hi, I'm a noob. Flashed Rowmo yesterday and it kept freezing my system. Had to go back to crappy stock. Please help. Rowmo 5.1. Input much appreciated.

Mickwa76 you need to give more information about your phone and how you did it.
I found this on the mobilegeek site:
Please note:
The ROMOW v5 is based XKL7 then I recommend you do a full wipe. If you are using a ROM-based or KJ4 KKA backups with Titanium may not be successful or lead to problems of instability '
Installation:
For safety, let the memory of your device running a ROM
Download the ROM and put it in the memory of your device
Boot into Recovery
Do all wipe
Flashate the V5.1
Reboot and you're done
PS: The first startup may take a few minutes, so do not worry. If the boot image continues to move forward but without going into loop, remove the battery and reboot the device
And you can always try other roms

Here is step by step procedure,
1. Flash Rootable Stock ROM
2. Root and install CWM
3. Copy ROMOW 5.1 to SD card (Preferably Ext SD Card)
4. Reboot into recovery mode
5. Flash ROMOW 5.1 ROM
6. Do a clean Wipe/factory Reset
7. Wipe Cache
8. Reboot
done.
Remember first boot will take little longer time than normal.
Install another ROM, safe all your data with titanium backup for example.
Then go to CWM Recovery and flash your new CustomROM.
First Startup could take some minutes, so dont push anything, wait.
After starting, reboot it 2-3 times
Then if you want, flash a new kernel with CWM Recovery and reboot it 2-3 times again.
N7000 KKA. Backed up stock on external. Saved .zip on internal sd. Backed up apps/data. Did a factory wipe and reset using CWM. Finally flashed the RowMo rom. Took a while to start, no boot loop. Worked fine for the first 10 minutes then my Note got excessively hot and started freezing. Rebooted a few times no change. Flashed stock back. Want to try rocket but a few people on xda have complained of freezes also.

CWM - full wipe / nandroid problem

2 days ago I had to reinstal system on my Note. I decided to flash stock GB rom using odin with re-partition (SGN 16bg pit file). After that I flashed once again using stock GB rooted rom, and install CF kernel with CWM using mobile odin. Everything was fine. Next I installed a cooked rom (CleaNote v5, ). I thought that everything is fine till i decided to install TouchwixUX Launcher prepared to Note. The instalation process stucks on about 20%, I thought that maybe package is corrupted, I downloaded it again, but it didn't help, so I decided backup my phone using nandroid and wipe to factory data. And there is a problem:
1. I try to make a backup using nandroid, and it stops on some *.txt file and stucks. (backup include 3 files)
2. I can't do the wipe. I launched full wipe and nandroid returned a message "can't open /SDCARD/.amndroid_secure ..."
3. When I try to mount SDCARD, CWM Recovery show's the message "Cant mount SDCARD"
There is a one thing which make me sad. I tried to install CleaNote .zip by CWM Recovery once again, and instaltion process stucks to. It means that i probably wont be able to flash any other rom.
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Can you go download mode and flash gb rom in pc odin? After flashing gb rom in pc odin if still stuck go to recovery and wipe data and cache.
The way you explained it i dont believe it is superbrick.
NO NO NO - there is no superbrick My phone works, I can connect phonr to Odin, Mobile Obin, I can run in Recovery mode, but i can't for example do a nandroid backup or ful wipe under cwm recovery. I think, that there is some problem with permition to files on SD card, but I didn't meet with that problem on other rom (I used Paranoid Android (CM9 and CM10) and there was everything fine).
The reason I wrote is that I am worry if some parts of internal memory maybe corrupted, and flashing rom using Odin/Mobile Odin may caused superbrick.

Download EMMC CHECK from google play and after you run it check your heart also.
I used eMMC Brickbug Check. Result - Congratulation, test pass.
So I understand, that if there is some bug, there is caused by software, not hardware problem and I can reflash phone using Odin.
BTW - what means "Brick Bug ? - Yes. Insane chip." ?
I change kernel from stock to CF 5.3 before flashing to CleaNote. I found some info, that this kernel (cf 5.3) is not safe. Kernel after flashing ia NoteCore 12,3. Can it be the reason why i couldn't do a full wipe?
... I almost forgot - I used TriangleAway to remove flash counter. Maybe this is a problem?

Weird CWM behaviour

Hello!
Before I want to go on to CWM I want to tell you what happened before.
Yesterday I flashed TWRP recovery which resulted in a really bad situation. I was stuck in recovery. If I pressed reboot it went straigt to recovery again, even if I pulled out the battery. So flashed the stock firmware via the KDZ flashing method and everything worked again.
Then I rooted again, installed CWM, installed CM, installed all my apps (TB backup on PC was quite old),....
So all in all it was a big amount of work and it took me a few hours.
Then everything was working again as it should and I updated all my TB backups and then I wanted to make a Nandroid backup so that I wouldnt have to do all that flashing and installing again.
So I went to recovery--> backup and restore --> backup
But it didnt finish. It always stopped with this error: Error while meaking a backup image of /system!
So i thought maybe I should install everything again, which i did. (I had already made a TB backup of all my apps, so i thought this woulb be done fast)
Well, went to recovery again, did a factory reset, wiped dalvik cache and even formated /system. Then I installed the latest CM + GAPPS and rebooted.
And the first thing i recognized was that the screen popped where it says "android is upgrading". And I wondered even more when I realized that all my apps where stille there. So obviously the factory reset and also format /system didnt work properly.
If I format /system and dont install any ROM then the device doesnt boot (which i guess is the normal behaviour). But what I want to say is that the format works there but if I flash CM afterwards all my apps are still there (despite the fact that i also did a factory reset).
All in all the phone does work normal now, but I'm not able to make a Nandroid backup and I'm really wondering why.
(I also reflashed CWM recovery but that didnt change anything)
I would be glad if s1 could help me.
PS: Could the solution be to flash stock again via KDZ and then do everything from the beginning?
Never heard of anything like this before.
Did you flash the recovery as a .IMG or through Rom manager (I would suggest to flash it with Rom manager).
Try this and report back (maybe your recovery image is damaged or smth.)

I have no idea what caused this crazy behavoiur of CWM, but I started over again with flashing kdz and now everything is fine
Maybe your SD card is full. Try deleting a few files from your SD and then do the backup.

I dont have any external sd card and on phone memory there were more than 10GB free space

bootloop after battery removed (LT5)

Firstly : my note get its usb outlet broken
So I can't charge it neither send data trhough the usb
I can't use Odin
I'm on the latest LT5 stock rom, never flashed any mod (none to date)
I've installed this rom with Mobile Odin 3 days ago, with no problem at all
Yet, I just take out the battery (after having turned off the phone) and set another one
And my phone became to bootloop..
So I entered the recovery mode (which is not a fully custom recovery, there was not Nandroid backup mode...)
After a cache wipe : still bootlooping
So i've done a Factory Reset / full wipe and the phone restarted normally
But I loss all my data
What to do ? I don't want this to happen again...
sorry for bad english
Always take a backup using an app like Titanuim backup and copy the back-up files to the PC. Make sure you flash ROMs and kernels properly according to the thread.
But I've flashed nothing !!
I've just turned it off then on...
you flashed LT5 stock ROM, there must have been some issue there, flash it safely again with proper procedure. bootloop is mostly due to incorrect flashing. i advise you to flash the ROM on PC ODIN. I had installed a kernel some days back with mobile ODIN and had gotten into a bootloop which vanished after i flashed a new ROM. So better get the USB port work and flash using PC ODIN as far as possible.
I can't flash via odin, as my usb output is dead
that's what we call "Bootloop Bug" on official JB...simply flash any custom kernel for JB4.1.2.. try philz kernel,
Thanks, I will try
