Hello everyone,
I'm encountering some problems:
I'm running ROMOW v1 ICS but I want to change to another ROM, but that's impossible for me:
- Probably I lost root: cannot get root access or use apps which require root
- Cannot connect to pc for transferring ROMS: ROMOW gives problems with MTP, in CWM I cannot mount USB storage:
"E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
So I cannot flash new ROMS 'cause I don't have the possibility to connect my Note to pc and I don't have root.
How to solve?
I want to run TeamRocket v1.4 ICS ROM
If you have lost root, you cant install custom ROM
Root is not needed to connect to PC, you can flash any older ROM with PC odin, get Root + CWM, then flash custome ROM using CWM

Dr. Ketan is right as usually. However, there might be an easier way for you to get out of trouble.
Read this.
Maybe you could start from scratch by:
Boot in downloadmode
Flash a stock rom from here using Odin. (warning: read the thread: newer stock roms are not rootable, use an older stock rom)
Root it again
Load a custom rom of your choice
hey I just had the exact same issue. put the phone into download mode, flashed netchips cwm update (I still had it lying around) and re-installed Xtra Lite Rom.

have you used PC Odin to flash Netchip CWM ? Look to your flash count then.(at Rt upper corner during Download mode)
yes I did, my flash count is now 2, current binary: custom

yes it has to. B'coz netchip method is very first method came to root, but now not used, just b'coz of that. right now you are running without warranty, if you are not concerning for same, nothing to worry, otherwise you need Jig to reset your counter. It should be 'zero', you have 2, means you did it two times.

Chainfire wrote a program to reset the counter in ICS, it's called triangle away.

Whenever I tried to install CF - Root (For JVT Firmware) or Speedmod through Odin, it installs but quickly says fail which then leads to the
Phone.....!.... Computer image. For me to fix the issue, I have to re-flash the ROM.
Is there anyway to install Kernels without having Odin to say fail?
I heard on one website that they say it may be Bootloaders that are causing the issues.

I agree on that since I try the connections on my computer and Odin doesn't pick up on COM 1 untill I plug one in a specific USB port it works....
Funny thing is, the connections I haven't had a problem for flashing either JVT through One Click Hemindall or manually on Odin but for Kernel, it always fails.
try that... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899.
You can put kernel on sdcard and flash it this way.

My phone isn't rooted. Tried to install CF - Root before but it failed.
Market, pro version, contains root...

Another question,
Could this be a simpler way to flash the root files or Kernel in?
Go to my Android 3e Recovery and flash them via SD card?
Or is CWM really neeeded to do this?
Again, mentioned by me soft contains CWM ...

Sorry, couldn't understand what you were saying in the last post.
By software you mean CF-Root or the custom kernels?
Sorry for being a noob here....
But those softwares can't be installed VIA Odin, because it pops up FAIL.

You always loose root after flashing stock firmware! Should have flashed it with MobileOdinPro.
If you want root again, downgrade to a directly rootable rom (all versions till KL7) and reroot it with CFRootIntitialFlasher by Chainfire, thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784

No LA1 cannot be rooted directly unless you don`t care about raising the binary flash counter. I think KK2 is a wipe rom so yes you will losse everything on your internal disk, so copy the entire disk with windows task manager and put it back after you flashed KK2.
Odin can only be used with stock firmware, kernels or csc files, not custom files.
And try to read up about rooting, flashing and such things. There are threads enough around here.
Good luck

according to what I understood from you so far:
1 - I will reflash the Original stock rom KK2 by PC Odin
you said that KK2 will wipe my mobile and I should make a backup for my internal disk, So, Sorry to ask: what is this (windows task manager) and how to use it?
2 - I will root the KK2 same way I did last time
3 - I will flash the new update LA1 via Mobile Odin and it will keep my root and CWM
Does Mobile odin come in free or paid?

1. yes reflash KK2 using PC odin, I dont know wether KK2 is wipe version, if it is wipe, even you won't lose data on internal SD card, no meaning to take backup with window. If you want to backup your installed app + data, you must have Root.
alternatively you can choose non wipe version to reflash (e.g. KL3 india) it won't delete anything.
2. You have to Root Your relashed ROM (you can find how to Root guide on my signature)
3.Mobile Odin Pro is paid. Dont want to pay for mobile Odin Pro/ unable to purchase it, you can get Root + CWM, then update LA4 using CWM ( you may get installation guide link from my signature)
I will recommend to read all 4 links(first 2-3 post) on my signature,you will find answer of most of your questions
what if i tried to root my new ROM (LA1) using doomlord rooting kit, failed, and then downgrade it to KL3?
can i still use the doomlord easy rooting kit?
i tried this few times yesterday, but it still won't get rooted.
Ok, I reflashed by PC Odin my original stock rom KK2, and it was not wipe, I found everything is intact
But when I tried to root + recovery like before, did not work although I get on the screen (all done) but after reboot no root or CWM
I reinstalled Kies but still alot of errors when trying to do the rppt only or root+CWM
What should I do?
is there any way that I can wipe my phone and start as fresh as I can? what I did is :
boot to recovery and chooses wipe cache partition and Factory reset, it is all or there is something else can be done?
Edit : The wipe did it, and I have root and CWM now

Turn off your antivirus temporarily as it removes some components of your rooting tool which causes the error message.

Yes you can use doomlord method after downgrade.
check USB debugging on, close any PC sync SW, close Firewall, close antivitus. Try another PC.
Please read this first:
I was able to reset the binary counter and remove the yellow triangle by using the method described in #13 of this thread, but you should understand that my phone was already soft-bricked. As you will know from reading posts #18 and #21, that the Angelom kernel 1.2 should be used to reset your binary counter and remove the yellow triangle, ONLY WHEN your device is ALREADY bricked, otherwise you may brick your working device. Be cautioned.
Original post:
I have been struggling for two days now with an issue of some kind of brick. Without going into whether it is a soft brick or a hard brick, this is how my situation is:
- I can boot into download mode
- I can boot into stock recovery mode
- I am unable to flash any ROM as all of them get stuck at factoryfs
- I flashed several kernels, stock as well as custom, and the latest kernel I flashed was a CF kernel
- After flashing the CF kernel, I saw the yellow triangle at the Samsung boot prompt and the flash counter increased by 1
- I flashed a stock kernel over the CF kernel which made the yellow triangle go away, but I still have the flash count increased
I do not wish to go for any trial and error methods now, so I am thinking of sending my Note to Samsung for repairs. Can someone help me with resetting the flash counter to 0? I do not wish to sound impatient, but I really do not have much time to wait for the JIG solution, so if someone can help with resetting the flash counter without using JIG, it would greatly help.
I have insurance on my phone and I bought the phone a week ago. Please also let me know if I can use my insurance if Samsung decides to charge me. Ideally, I would like a replacement, as it is a confirmed bug from Google that caused my phone to be bricked, and also since I have had the phone only for a week, but I don't know how to convince the seller I need a new phone, as they will try to get it fixed and return the same back.
Is there anything else other than the flash counter that I should wipe/reset before sending it to Samsung? I took a Nandroid backup of a stock odexed GB ROM last week which is under a folder called "CWM". Is the CWM folder in the internal storage (USB storage) or the external SD card? If it is in internal, how do I wipe it? My phone doesn't have any battery so I can't check the location of CWM folder myself.
Thanks.
If you can still enter download mode, there is hope to flash a stock rom.You need the pit file,matching your device version(16 or 32 gb). Also a bootloader wouldn't hurt to have around.
I got 3 errors when i first tried to flash my note,but i solved it with the pit file.Just google for it.

I have tried flashing stock ROMs but none of them came with a PIT file or a bootloader. I have tried installing a stock bootloader too, by itself, but nothing allows me to go beyond factoryfs. Are you saying flashing a stock ROM with a matching PIT can make the difference?

Thanks, I know about it, but I do not have the time to buy the JIG, wait for it and try it out on my device, if that's what you refer to. I am in a time crunch as my 15 days of purchase of this phone will be complete next week, and beyond that I wouldn't get any special privileges from the seller. This is why, I am looking for a method that involves flashing using Odin or stock CWM. It's a long shot, but I am hoping someone can help.
Jig is the only way for you to reset the counter on a bricked phone, sorry.
Wasnt there a kernel that Angelom did to reset the flash counter on his superbricks with Team Rocket ICS?
Maybe dig up the old thread in the dev section and check. It was a quick and dirty to reset counter and make it official again.

Thanks hkgrob, Chasmodo and kimitza. I appreciate it.
So do I need to just flash the 16 GB (I have 16 GB Note) PIT file using Odin and that should reset the flash counter? Just want to make sure I am doing it right.
Edit: I just flashed the 16 GB PIT file using 1.85 PC Odin along with a stock kernel, but the counter has not reset. Also, there is no kernel file, that hkgrob mentioned, in the zipped attachment.
I am not able to find the kernel through search. Could someone upload the kernel which would reset the counter? I will try again after that. Thanks.

Yes, that's what I figured. I found a link to this kernel in this thread and downloaded it, but it's an ICS kernel, which is also supposed to reset the counter. Is this the one you talk about? And, if it is the right kernel, I guess I should flash it with the PIT file with PC Odin. Correct?
I am on stock GB recovery - for your information.
If anyone else can post the kernel before Chasmodo does, that would be great. Thanks.
A little diversion: For some reason the stock recovery shows there are no files on my SD card, while other recoveries do. Is this supposed to be this way? With stock recovery, I am unable to access anything on my SD card.
I will post this as a separate thread, as it does not fit as an edit in my previous post.
I found this thread, and got encouraged to flash the ICS kernel which the OP in that thread also found. Flashing the ICSTest kernel by Angelom rebooted with a yellow triangle at the Samsung prompt and booted into touch CWM. I rebooted the phone using the reboot option on CWM. With the reboot, the triangle is gone and the binary counter says "No." So, I think mission accomplished for now.
Will there be a way Samsung to tell now if I ever flashed custom recoveries, ROMs and kernels or that phone was rooted before the Google-admitted bug screwed everything up?

Just flash a stock kernel now, and they probably won't be able to tell that you ever used any custom stuff.
No need to removed the counter & triangle, just send it back to SSC, they will fix it for you, because they already know the reason you send it back, cheer up!

No. Angelom 1.2 will reset your counter, but it will also give you a hard brick in

Is that true that flashing the Angelom 1.2 will hard brick a phone if it's not already bricked? Is that kernel not useful for any ROMs? I am curious because if that's true, I will change the title of my thread.
Hey guys,
I hope you can help me. I am aware of the ICS Kernel Bricking bug, and the faulty chip with the faulty firmware, as described on the xda portal, and I read all the stickies. Nevertheless I want to ask you for your opinion on this matter, to prevent turning my note into a brick
So thats what happend last night:
I was on LPY for about 1 month (since released) with root, stock kernel. Before I was on GB DarkyRom 3.3. Everything went normal until I made 2 changes the last hours:
1. I modified the build.prop with this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687156
2. I installed Super Video (like popup player on the galaxy s3) and had several freezes when I started to watch 2 videos. So I took out the battery like 4 times.
Phone booted normally. So I locked the screen, and went to a party.
Then I realized that within 2 Hours the battery got from 50% to 15%. I was too busy to look at betterbatterystats, so I just rebooted the phone with the stock Power Menu.
Now my phone won't boot anymore. It stucks on "Samsung Galaxy Note N-7000" Screen.
As I said, I have not wiped, or do anything with cwm or 3e recovery. However, I can get into DL mode and 3e recovery.
What can I do now? Flash LPF? Reflash LPY?
I read somewhere by someone, that it could be, that even without wiping, the phone can get brick at anytime... Did that happend to me?
I haven't tried to flash anything else, because I wanted to share this with you and get your opinion.
Thanks in advance
k!DDa
So now donot try anything.I suppose you were in darkyrom 3.3 re.If so,you should have known about the counter.So flash it and you will be fine.I again say it will increase counter if you use 3.3 re.
If you don't want the counter,flash a stock gb rom/stock-rooted gb rom.I prefer 3.3 re because it is a wipe rom

okay but isn't it possible to revive my note? e.g. just flashing a non wipe ICS version via PC ODIN (I do not care about the counter or triangle)
like criskelos ICS No wipe http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609252
the inability to boot you describe sounds like something a corrupted build.prop might cause so it's probably nothing to worry about. you'll need to restore your build.prop somehow, probably by flashing something in Odin
ok thanks, I will try. but one good and one bad thing:
I saved the original build.prop before
But on the internal SD card and not my external ^^
If you want to be absolute sure Flash a stock ICS (a full wipe version) rom from pc odin. If all goes well there is no brickissue for you. Then you root using Dr Ketans method.

I decided to reflash LPY. But it has only an tar.md5 file. I cannot use MobileOdin. Can I just put it in PDA at PC Odin? (Rename it before to .tar?)

Hi,
I came from an LG 2x, so I thought rooting my device in order to have some extra authorizations was no big deal. I first tried with pc software Unlockroot, but it failed in the process.
Being my GB 236 Note quite dirty I wanted to do some extra backup and cleanup. So I googled and stopped at rootyourgalaxynote.com, I tried the first ROOT method, not working, I tried the second method with pc ODIN 3.04 and abyss kernel 42, ODIN says it worked, note reboots but it stops at Samsung galaxy Note Gt-N7000 with yellow triangle. shocked, I didnt really expect that! After reading a little bit else, I went to sammobile downloaded italian gb 236 stock (the version I had befor kernel flashing) and tried to flash with PC Odin. It Failed. Device still gets in download mode. But now I'm seriously worried. What can I do?
[UPDATE]: I tried using Odin 1.85 and the same gb 236 stock rom but it stops half the factoryfs.img flashing...please explain me what's happening. I don't really want to bring it in assistance and lose my warranty

Hi,
I came from an LG 2x, so I thought rooting my device in order to have some extra authorizations was no big deal. I first tried with pc software Unlockroot, but it failed in the process.

First you should t have flash abyss through odin since now you are not rooted and do t have the warranty too, the counter of flashes increased to 1 (look at the download mode small text), for rooting you can use chainfire's tool (in the cf-root kernel thread look for it in devolepment section) next get a stock rooted kernel and flash using the tool (read instructions).
For now use pc odin 1.87 and get a firmware 2.3.6 use the pc odin select the file on PDA and flash it, make sure phone is charged 100% and press start, if it doesn't work then uninstall drivers, reboot machine, reinstall them and kill kies process if present in task manager and then goto download mode connect USB and open pc odin wait for the port to be ready aka green and select file then start.... you should be fine its a soft brick afterall.

Yeah I know atm I don't have system nor root nor warranty.
I tried odin 1.87 with the stock rom from sammobile but at one point or another is it cache.img or factoryfs.img, it fails (I also uninstalled kies and drivers and reinstalled them, i also tried installing only drivers, for at&at note, but it doesn't let me). I'm gonna download another stock rom, I just hope in some way I soon solve the thing, given that I also don't know how much charge is left and if the phone still gets charged. it just displays an idle circle near an empty battery when connected to pc or A\C cable.

When connected to charger make sure phone is off the battery meter will show as soon as you connect, case it doesnt leave it for like 3 hours is fine... next about that ROM redownload. The package cleanup you temp directories in PC and try again if still goto recovery abyss I guess? Wipe everything and use the mount option and format partitions I would recommed you to have repartition but I dont have the file you can look for ot in forum its. PIT file download fireup odin select it in PIT section and see if repartitioning is shocked, of so select firmware as PDA and flash again.

Thx for your prompt answer, but I really didn't catch this part, if it still fails I must go in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache?I don't have CWM installed as rooting was the first flashing I tried on NOTE, so I don't have recovery installed. Since it stopped in the middle of flashing factoryfs.img, my Note is now displaying sth like 'updrading went wrong, try recovery mode in Kies': can it help in anyway? The PIT file and procedure are the same that are used for the EMMC bug?

Sorry for tea doubled post its a dumb app X's
You wipe using the CWM file in the Iss root section, and a normal recovery wipe would do too (aka restore defaults)

Hi REVERSIN,
Thx. I was starting to fear it could be sth more than a soft brick. Can the initial use of unlockroot have caused anything (at least a week ago, Note still working after that)?
Sorry but I really can't understand what procedure should I follow since these initial attempts at flashing stocks failed. Should I try to flash CWM? What is the ISS root section (is it in the forum)? Where can i do a normal recovery wipe from? CWM I guess..
THX for your help

If you have the stock recovery, restore default wipes everything.
If you have stock re every and want CWM temporary just to wipe goto n7000 devolepment and check how to root by dr.ketan and get files there
If you have CWM then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.... and try. Old download another firmware like kk5.... something else not the new LC1 LX1 releases.... (Latest GB) get an old one to get root easly
