I was running galaxian soup ROM 1.4 and wanted to flash to 1.5.1. Unfortuantely I was not paying as much attention as I should have been and cleared the cache before doing a wipe cache worked ok, dalvik cache got part way through and tehn rebooted.
Now the device wont boot into the OS and instead reboots into recovery. When in recovery, attempting to do a wipe or a flash or a dalvik cache clear all start and then reboot.
Anyone have an idea on next troubleshooting steps? ANy help is greatly appreciated.
Odin to stock & try again.
I assume you can get into download mode..

Thanks for the reply.
I used odin to get to stock based on the instructions and files in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137
The process seemed to work, the odin screen gave me a green pass

and the device reboot but when it did it just reboot to this screen.
Any help is appreciated.
That's a bad flash..
Redownload the ROM and flash again.
Gotta love when Odin brain farts.
;-)
Edit; failing that follow the overcome restock instructions and all should be well.
Goodluck!

In my case, usually when coming back from the ICS Betas, some weird stuff happened with my tablet in more than one occasion. Errors with partitions to sum it up. The only way to make the tablet boot once more into Honeycomb was...selecting the nuke (wipe/factory reset in the Stock Recovery) making me lose all SDcard contents. I don't know whether this also applies to you or not, but keep it in mind.

Why should something to convert? MIUI exelent flasher from rooted GB 2.3.6
What? I didnt get you?
I didn't converted I just installed this apk to check system details and I was having force closes on every app I tried cwm and cleaned cache and dakvik cache but it wasn't working. Can anyone tell why MIUI has force close issue?It start giving fc any time.

Yes it is normal. MIUI is based off Cyanogen mod which uses it's own file system (that yaffs you see there).
As far as i know you can't really convert yaffs to rfs nor there should be a need to do so. If you want to go back to a samsung based rom, all you need to do is flash one with odin by ticking the repartition option. Odin will restore samsung's partitions with their own file systems (RFS), no need to worry.
Just look up and follow a tutorial to do so, there are plenty about.
EDIT:
Just seen your latest post, search a bit dude, there are LOADS of posts around describing the force-close issue with cyanogen/miui roms. Solution is fast, simple and without loss of data, there is no need to return back to anything if that's the problem. To put it simple, one of your partitions (data) just ran out of space regardless of what that app says.

It should be safe as SPEEDMOD has MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled. I wouldn't be able to tell you it's 100% safe as the only thing I've tried via CWM are flashing several zips, wiping dalvik/cache and nandroid backup. Haven't tried flashing a rom or doing a factory reset via CWM. Im using Speedmod k3-3 btw
Personally I wouldn't flash any custom roms until this whole hardbrick fiasco is fixed officially by samsung. I am not confident enough to flash custom roms yet. I love my note and contented with stock+custom kernel, I couldn't afford to have it bricked.
My advice if you really want a custom rom, is to read the rom's installation instructions carefully, follow them and don't miss a step and as the old xda
saying goes, "FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK"
Good Luck!
As long as you will flash them from GB base and will never use Factory Reset / Data Wipe while on any ICS ROM you'll most definitely be safe. There's no 100% guarantee, but ROMs like CM9 use safe kernel and updated their update scripts to kill this bug.
Do I need to do a factory reset before the upgrade? TIA

Anyway, since instructions for flashing ROMs isn't pasted in a dozen different places like it is on most other subforums, I'll throw you a bone. Yes, you should probably do a data wipe or factory reset (in addition to wiping cache and dalvik if those don't get wiped during one of the previous wipes). In theory, the wiping can be done by the zip you're flashing, but it's not always the case so just do it yourself to be safe. Also, having just done one, I can tell you a factory reset (in CWM 6.0.0.8 at least) doesn't wipe your sdcard.

The flash was successful, however when it got reboot it said, "E: error in cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip"
Can anyone help me on this please.

U could try Wipe data/factory reset in the Stock Recovery then Reboot, if ya got ur stuff backed up already or if it doesn't matter at this point.
If that doesn't fix it then use the Stock KK4 One Click without bootloaders...Odin or Heimdall, whichever u r comfortable with, found here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3

That screen just means that ur flash to stock was not successful. And that screen works just like a Download Mode screen. See this thread for info on Captivate - PC Connection Issues...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33227541&postcount=1
Try a different micro usb/usb cable and see if that will make the Odin or Heimdall flash to Stock KK4 successful.

I wanted to do factory reset while I was using custom ROM (LineageOS) and then my phone restarted to recovery but I'm not using stock one. Now TWRP recovery goes on, then screen blinks and over and over again.

Your device is bricked, you have to use Odin. By the way, there are different TWRP releases, and there are different Lineage releases, too. Be precise to get proper help. And use thx buttons

And how can I use odin to get it to work?
Read the Odin thread to learn how it works. Choose Odin-flashable Recovery and by taste to flash it. It's all good explaination there, Odin methods included, and you need to know how things work, so you have to teach it yourself.
You just need a working Recovery, after that you can flash as before from sd card or flash the rom with Odin. Cheers
