Galaxy note stuck at boot and not installing any other rom

i have a problem with my galaxy note, i was using isc stunner rom and everything was working fine. My battery got drained and the powered off, so i charged it and turned it on , the phone got stuck on the bootscreen. It does not boot up, so i tried to reflash the same rom but didnt work, i wiped my memory card but no luck. Now whenever i try to flash a rom cwm gets stuck on installing update. Please help me and reply asap!

go to download mode and flash a stock kernel. search in this forum how to do that.

Take out the external SD card
download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your external SD Card
Also download the Rom you want to install and put it on your external SD card.
reboot to CWMR
go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery
factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
flash the Rom of your choice

I tried to flash abyssnote kernel but when i flash it the installation is stuck on 'Installing update' and it just stays there and never progresses in any way.
so yeah whenever i flash the kernel im stuck on 'installing update'
any fix for this bros?

You lost root mate..
There is a thread with "Stock Prerooted GB ROMs", go there and download any one and flash it using PC Odin..if flashing with PC Odin succeded but yo0 still get bootloop reboot to recovery and do a factory reset/data wipe, it'll boot without issues
Then go to Chainfire's thread and get the CF Root kernel for the ROM you just flashed, because the prerooted ROMs don't have CWM recovery..fladh that kernel using "already rooted.bat" method described in post #2 in Chainfire's thread..
You'll end up with stock rooted GB and CWM recovery..from there you choose what you eant to do

probably best starting from scratch again and installing a gb from via odin

This works and is triangle free too. I did the same to avoid any more flashing/erasing with the potentially dangerous ICS repack kernels.

I have a similar problem. After installing Stunner ROM on my note, it work for a bit, but then I don't remember what I did, it is now stuck on boot screen. I can't do anything except boot into recovery.
Did I lose root? How exactly can I fix it. I read the post you referred to, but I can't do anything when I execute Odin with my Gnote N7000 connected to my PC. Can you tell me how exactly I have to do? Please provide the exact link for any software I need to download.
Please reply ASAP,
Appreciated.

You have to be in downloadmode to b able to work with PC Odin
( Device off ->Volume down + Home + Power.)

same here but when factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cache.
all is working fine.

Thank you! Yes now I have communication to the phone using Odin! ) But I 'm still trying to figure out what exactly I need to do to get back on stock GB and then go from there (ie. what file(s) I need to flash back to stock GB. My original GB version was 2.3.6). If you know, could you please provide me the link(s) to download those files. I did tried "wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache" in recovery as the other gentleman suggested but did not work. So I guess I do need to flash back to GB .
Thanks a million

The question is what file(s) do I need to re-flash it with? I tried to find the thread "Stock Prerooted GB ROMs" suggested by matius44, but I found a ton of threads related to it that I 'm having a hard time to figure out which is the exact one(s) for my Note.

I was in a boot loop recently. I just flashed a stock GB rom via PC Odin, and reset to factory/wipe cache in stock recovery. Booted up after that. Important part is get GB on there and do the resets. Then you can worry about root, etc.

Oh thanks! Can you provide a link where can I find the stock GB rom for my note. I have the Gt-N7000 model and my original GB version was 2.3.6. This is all I remember - can't remember what kernel, baseband etc.

You can flash any stock GB rom you want. Just choose one from dr.ketans thread in development section

Thank you
TY for this granular info.

Thank you so much!, bro. Now that I 'm clear I just picked a rom from 'bodivas's post' and re-flashed it back to stock and everything works like a champ now! Just didn't know i could have used any of those - thought I had to match exactly the specific versions of kernel/baseband/country etc. etc.. hahaha.... Next I 'll work on the ICS again. And thanks & credit for everyone who have helped.

Hi harris,
Can you flash gb thru stock odin? of course you can... is it safe? yes it is.
I think the rule of law in flashing any custom roms, just to be in a safe side, is to always downgrade first to stock GB and work your way up in flashing whatever custom rom you would like to flash your phone to.
By the way, don't forget to wipe data once your already in stock GB (before upgrading again to whatever custom rom your going to flash)

thanks alot.:cyclops:

sounds like you just need to flash a kernel, i have had this issue before something with the kernel screws up and doesnt boot

Just put your phone in download mode and flash a custom kernel via pcodin. That will be okay. or if its not you have to flash a GB rom using PC Odin. Remember to do wipes after flash

after flashing a safe kernel or after you gone to GB (whichever is the case),yes you can go to CWM and wipe data from there.

Flash prerooted gb rom and wipe cache,delvic cache n data
Not necessary immidiately wipe, most probably you will face force closes on bootup.after flash, nothing to worrt, it will b solved with wipes.
Once evrything fine.after wipe, you can proceed to next step with cwm if you want to flash.custom rom, or with mobile odin if you want to flash stock ROM.

Rooting and custom rom after downgrading to LB2

Hello,
I have recently downgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6(using this Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000DDLB2.rar), kernel version LB2. Now, I am really struggling to understand what should be done next?
How can I root LB2? Do I have to downgrade it again to the lower version using PC odin? If yes, which is the safest one?
My main aim is to install a custom ROM.
EDIT: Ok, so I can see superuser app in my drawer(so it is rooted). I want to install a CWM recovery option so that I can flash kernel and flash custom roms. Sorry for the confusion.

use the three button option to go to custom recovery that must have come with your present rom
( vol up+power+home -- till you see N7000 logo, wait for recovery to appear)
from the options in this recovery flash whichever rom you want.
read the instructions in opening post of the rom you want first.
wipe data, cache, and in advanced -- dalvik and then flash zip file of the rom you must have placed on your sd card from before.

That is the issue. CWM recovery is not there.

what happens when you use three buttons for recovery ? blank screen ?
then download KL3 rom from Dr Ketans sticky thread and its corresponding rooting tools ( zergrush method) and flash that rom.....
or you could also try KJ1 from Dr Ketans signature, thats also pre-rooted, it will give you a recovery,
flash again indownload mode if you face simillar problems.
KL3 is reliable though.

I was not getting options to take backup, restore. Now I have installed CWM recovery using InitialCFRootFlasher method(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784).
I can see CWM now and also many option when I restart the mode in recovery mode.
Now, next step whether to flash a kernel and then flash a custom ROM? If I flash a kernel first, which one is compatible with 2.3.6 firmware?

u dont need to change kernel now on GB
u want to flash ICS custom rom right ?

This is one thing I have to explore now.
Any good custom rom would be good. Pleas suggest.

i just realised you should have posted in QA forum.
No matter which rom you decide to flash you must read the opening post and last couple of pages to get a fair idea.
ICS kernels and stock ics based kernels like CF root, - you cant wipe on them, factory data reset, flash new zip roms, nandroid restore, so be careful
my fav is Kingdroid v 7.4
but you can also flash the most recent release of Touchwiz official - LRQ and learn to root it and then install mobile odin and flash a safe kernel- its newest headline on this forum, worth it. :good: you can flash it with mods from Jeetu's thread in theme section.....
have fun

[Q] Back to stock rom help

Hi guys.. Is there anyway i can get back to stock rom from MIUI rom? i flash Dr.Ketan ics stock rom but got stuck at Samsung logo.. any help?

Did you wipe cache and dalvic? DO NOT WIPE DATA USING STOCK ICS/KERNAL
Maby you could try flashing pre rooted GB Rom from our Doctor and wipe data once on safe GB. That's a good startingpoint.
By the way,stock ICS is NOT safe to wipe data with so I hope you didn't.

Download the below rom and install it via pc odin. The don't boot up yet. First boot into recovery and the. do a wipe data factory reset and then boot up.

1) be sure u are using a safe rooted kernel .. i used hydracore 4.3
2) download any gb stock rom from dr ketan's .. i myself downloaded the german one
3) on ur rooted custom rom, downloaded mobile odin pro .. it will ask for some updates
4) extract the downloaded stock gb rom , click on open files , choose the tar file , dont change anything , and then flash
5) after flashing is done i had a probl that it kept starting on the samsung logo .. dont panic just rstart in recovery mode and do wipe cache and data .. the gb is safe to do wipes .. NOW UR ON GB STOCK ROM and it's rooted
6) just downloaded the latest german ics from the same thead .. extract it and flash it using mobile odin BUT DONT WIPE ANYTHING AFTE IT'S DONE
7) it will reboot , install some updates ( dont panic it might take some time) and now you have the latest stock ics and its rooted and ready to flasb any good kernel
i dont know what kernel is the best for both battery life and performance

installing this kernel. will give u root, cwm. and is safe as well.

all threads say its dengerous , i guess you should stay in thr safe side and it costs you nothing by the way .. all flashing is done using mobile odin and it doesn't takr any time , just couple of minutes and booooo you're safe

I'm using right now philz kernel and things are going very well really!
the point is i wanted to do a DEEP CLEAN of the phone.. and than install 4.0.4 LRQ stock and root it but stupid KIES doesn't recognize my phone anymore ( before was just working perfectly... )!!!
Would it work IF i ... copy the stock rom on my mobile..
reboot in recovery.. do the 3 wipes
restart recovery,,, (or maybe i don't even need to reboot..???)
flash the rom LRQ stock ?
or still i've first to install PHILZ kernel again?
little bit confused lol

if u want to clean install then go back to GB and then do a factory reset and format internal SD then download the stock firmware u want and install it via PC odin.. stock firmware comes in tar.md5 format. cwm wont be able to install it. u need odin or mobile odin

[Q] JB to GB downgrade failure?

So, this is what happened. I first upgraded to the latest official JB 4.1.2 XXLSA firmware. I noticed that it still wasn't as fast as I'd like, and wanted to try a custom ROM instead. I read through the guides in here and get that I have to downgrade to a GB ROM first in order for me not to hardbrick my phone. So, I download "N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries" from that list over stock ROM's in the Q&A root guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 . I follow the flashing guide to the letter, puts my phone in download mode, runs the flash via Odin, the phone restarts, and everything goes south. Basically this happens: When I start my phone it get's to the point in the GB initial startup where I'm to touch the Android to start, but then all it does is throw messages at me about this service and that service having stopped responding, untill the phone reboots. So now I have reflashed back to the JB ROM.
So basically, what am I doing wrong, and what can I do to make a proper downgrade so I can get rooted, install CWM and get down and get it on with some custom ROM's?
Thx in advance!

Same happened with me. I flashed GB and was getting force close messages. But not a big problem. Just flash GB rom again. And after flashing just delete all user data from recovery and reboot. U wont get those messages any more.

You always need to WIPE data / factory reset after downgrading from JB .. GB is safe to go ahead.. if you choose ICS then first flash a safe kernel and then do wipe

It seems to me that KK5 is non wipe, which explains why you got those messages. The rest is detailed in nokiamodeln91's message BTW, JB is still not official for our Notes. What you installed was a leak with a safe kernel (if it was Philz).

Exactly.

I had this issue too when downgrading to GB. Wipe Cache and Dalvik and you should be ok from then on.

Wow. A lot of replies in just a single day. You guys are awesome
Now you say that the KK5 is non-wipe. Are there any GB-roms which are wipe, so to speak? Or do I have to do the flash to GB, enter recovery, wipe cache partition and do wipe/factory reset, then reboot into a now working phone, set up for root with USB and so forth, root and install CWM, copy the custom ROM to my SD-card (gonna go for ParanoidAndroid) as well as Google services if I want those, and then install them via CWM/Mobile Odin?

GB LC1 is wipe. But if you want PA (which is an excellent choice) just flash a CM10 kernel in your recovery (if your recovery is safe, like GB for example). Then follow Utacka's instructions for the installation.

But if I want CWM I should do root and install CWM there? And then flash the custom ROM from CWM?

The CM10 kernel comes with its own recovery where you can flash from. If you have root issues, just flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip. In any case don't flash from stock ICS with CMW.zip: if you are on ICS and not rooted flash the relevant Philz kernel (which is safe and will give you root and CWM) then the CM10 kernel.
Edit: what ROM do you have now?

I use the 4.1.2 XXLSA ROM
Btw, anyone knows where I can download the Google Services Framework so I can install it alongside Paranoid Android? I have been led to believe it's not included as per default
Thx for all the replies!!

If you have downloaded the xxlsa rom then it's inside the rom zip file. Path system/app/GoogleServicesFramework
