hello, I installed [ROM][ICS] KingDroid ICS NoteMania Edition v2.0 and it worked, then I did a nandroid backup and after I installed the S3 optional MOD.
The phone worked fine for some days, then I wanted to delete the S3 MOD so I did a nandroid restore from the previous backup, something went wrong during restoring. So I tried to flash the ROM again from SDcard, I did a dalvik cache wipe and a cache wipe and after I tried to reflash the kingdroid rom from recovery, it flashed the kernel and hung during MODEM flashing.
Now when I turn on the phone it hangs on galaxy note logo.
How can I solve this situation? Go back to GB? How? PC ODIN?
Thanks
Please read the thread before doing anything. NEVER EVER RESTORE A NANDROID BACKUP FROM ICS KERNELS. I think you just did that and now you are a part of Superbrick family. I think just read threads about how to revive your bricked note and follow the procedure or Samsung service is the only way out
Check if your phone enters download mode ( power+home+volume down ). If so - you're not bricked and can flash GB stock rom with ODIN.

It enters in download mode after warning me about the danger of flashign a custom os. So I canm proceed to flash a stock GB rom? N7000XILB1 ?
As you said your phone hangs on Samsung screen. When this thing happened first time with me i was too scared.
Dont panic. So you can go to download/Recovery mode. Flash a stok GB ROM. It worked for me. Dont worry about warning.
See Dr. Ketan's Thread for step by step guide. Carefully follow his instructions.
Best of luck..

Do I need to replace the pit first? I think the kingdroid rom replaced the pit and created new different partitions, so if I put the stock rom won't it need the original pit? I'm lost on that.
..To be honest I go back and forth from GB to ICS to CM9 without any problems (maybe I'm one of the lucky guy and maybe at certain point I will brick as well!)...BUT what I do (when from ICS I move to GB) is to pass ALWAYS through AbyssNote Kernel 4.2.
So hoping you have a GB previous nandroid backup AND you can still enter in recovery modified mode, I would suggest the following steps
1. enter in recovery mode
2. flash the Abyss Kernel by choosing the zip
3. WITHOUT reboot the phone > go Advanced
4. re-boot recovery
5. once in Abyss kernel> factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
6. restore
7. choose GB backup
8. start restoring
Before learning about Abyss, I had very similar soft-brick like your one....but I easly managed it with the above method
Hope it helps
so, it was not super bricked. I flashed the pit and then Gb without any problem. now it's working.
Good deal, just make sure you read the stickies next time and don't restore nandroid backups in CWM (Use abyss kernel).
There's plenty of safe kernels now that have disabled the brick bug as a workaround though. If you want stock ICS, flash Franco or Speedmod kernels. If you want a CM9 rom, there's plenty of variations. There's also an aokp rom.

Hi,
I as of yet, am not going close to any ICS build till the issue gets solved by someone.
so I am experimenting with different gb roms. i was using checkrom v6 but didnt like it, so followed steps to install darkyrom/alliancerom extreme edition. i followed the steps as I was told to install allianceota and flash the rom through there. it didnt work. so instead using cmw i flashed through recovery, it did flash but there no root.
so now, i reflashed a stock la6 rooted rom from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
this went smoothly with no problems, so i installed allianceota as normal, this time when i try to flash the following messages come up:
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/CSC/KOR/system/'
Successfully applied multi CSC"
and then it gives me the option to reboot, wipe cache and a few other options, not full recovery mode.
shall i just reflash the rom through recovery, or am I doing something wrong? and does the slight error above mean I have a problem with my note?
cheers in advance.
Let me just say that almost every ICS ROM out there now has disabled the MMC_CAP_ERASE code in the kernel that activates the eMMc bug and bricks your phone. If you want stock ICS, you can use SpeedMod or Franco kernels. If you want AOKP, there is that now. If you want CM9, there's a bunch of variations plus the official CM9 nightly. If you read through the OP and stickies, you will be okay.
Are you on stock recovery still? It sounds like it from the error you are getting. Try flashing CWM recovery and installing the GB rom with that. Follow Drketan's thread in Android Development.
hmmm, so would you advise me to use ics? is it much better? i dont want to use cm9 builds as i need the spen apps and so on. i have looked into kingdroid or alba.
I'll have to think hard about this. i may give it a shot soon though..
oh and btw, I fixed the problem, yep it was to do with cwm it wasn't installed with the stock rooted rom. as for allianceota, it still didnt flash the rom, i had to flash the rom through cwm manually.
cheers anyhow.

I love ICS a lot more than GB. If you want to use stock ICS, I would just use Franco or Speedmod kernels with it and be safe. Read both of their forums and decide what you want to do.
I had the same problem with rom deodex i had flash with odin 1.85 firmware gingerbread here ; http://www.hotfile.com/dl/152168378/f76281c/N7000XXLC1_N7000OXXLB3_ATO.zip.html... then i made wipe cache and cache dalvick .
I've just flashed AlBa repack latest one on xxlq2, I did it by following the steps,
I thought i had broken my phone, because when the flashing finished and i was rebooting, at the beginning when it welcome to galaxy note n7000 and then goes to the bootup video, it restarted that several times, then after like a few minutes it loaded the homescreen and startup.

-Flash a stock GB rom with pc odin
-Root it
-Go to cwm and wipe all (factory reset,cache and dalvik and then Install the ics rom that you like
-Reboot system and now it should work

Hello,
I'm new at flashing but I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note, which already had Stock ICS on it.
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband: N7000XXLPT
Kernel: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
Got brickbug confirmed that I am running a dangerous eMMC chip firmware. I bought this Note from eBay and I'm guessing the previous owner did a reset. It is still working and I had no trouble with it, so I guess I got lucky.
Since I would like to return to a safer kernel and install Paranoid Android I read myself into some threads but would like someone to review what I've gatherd:
Flash save kernel for ICS, for example speedmod kernel with PC Odin.
Device should reboot into ICS with new kernel.
Flash Gingerbread stock ROM for my country (germany) for example this one:
N7000XXKJ4 ------ 2.3.5 2011 october-------- N7000OXAKJ4 ------------------Germany (Debitel)
Device should restart wirh Gingerbread and an old Gingerbread kernel(?)
Root and install CWM using Dr. Ketans guide and batch file.
Follow instructions to install Paranoid Android v0.4 from CWM
I have some questions for this as well:
Speedmod kernel flashes CWM with it. Does that mean it flashes the kernel and the recovery partion, too? As I understood, the CWM works from inside the initramfs, which I thought got flashed with the kernel on the /system partion (or maybe the /boot partion) but not on the /recovery.
Does CWM disapear, when I flash another ROM?
I am pretty sure, that I am running a free (= open) Version of ICS on the phone. When I install a Stock Gingerbread ROM with a Carrier afterwards (like above the Debitel company), do I have to expect weired stuff?
I am running Win 7 64bit, and I would run Odin v1.85 with admin rights. Kies ist installed. Odin found the device, too.
Thanks in advance,
gador
Speedmod Kernel will install Kernel, CWM and Root - And is flashable via odin or mobile odin.
CWM will disappear if you flash a stock ROM via ODIN, If you flash a custom ROM through CWM you will keep CWM (may change depending on kernel from the ROM)
If you flash a branded ROM via odin, You will probably get a lot of carrier branded bloatware on the device, But if you are sim unlocked, you wont get any weird issues like network unlock codes and so on.

So I guess, I can go ahead and they're no fatal flaws in my procedure?
(And flashing stock ROMS overrides /recovery as well?)
Check the videos in ky sig once
Just to be safe
Erm, All ROMs are different so double check in the OP but you wont lose CWM if you switch between custom ROMs, Only a full firmware flash via ODIN will replace recovery. However there are many variations of CWM, All however do the same job
the instructions above are correct, But seem to be a more complicated way of doing it, It says to flash a safe ICS kernel, THEN flash GB ROM in ODIN ??? That makes no sense.
Anyway, What i would do is, Revert to GB via ODIN, Flash SpeedMod kernel (for GB not ICS), Load all the files on to your SD card, Boot into recovery, Do a full wipe, Along with cache and dalvik cache, Then install PA + Gapps + any other mods !

would it then be necessary at all to install the SpeedMod kernel? I included it above to make sure, the kernel is safe, but when the Gingerbread Stock ROM overrides the kernel, do I have to flash the kernel afterwards?
I suggest you stay stock and dont do any factory reset or data wipe.
Then READ and read a LOT of the topics here.
All these suggestions of flashing this and that comes with a risk. And it does not mean that if it works for others will work the same way for you.

I'd say no. I mean, as I understand it, you're flashing the device in download mode. There is no need for a root user.
So, against my inner "good angel", who told me to wait for a new official firmware release, I went ahead and flashed away.
It all worked and here is what I did:
Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.
Restarted and got lots of force close issues.
Flashed the Gingerbread Kernel SpeedMod from here ("speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-12-Odin.tar")
Rebooted, continued to have force close issues.
Rebooted into Recovery (which is now CWM, due to Kernel update)
Wiped cache, dalvik cache and did a factory reset
Rebooted into a fully working Gingerbread OS
Placed PA v0.4 and GApps onto my SD Card (from here)
Rebooted into CWM Recovery
Applied PA v0.4 from SD-Card
Applied GApps from SD-Card
Wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache and did a factory reset
Rebooted into a workind Paranoid Android OS.
Although the SpeedMod Kernel got overridden by PA, I still have CWM Recovery.
Did you root first? and did you get the yellow triangle through flashing with PC Odin?
PS
I'm still dead scared about flashing a ROM after messing up my last gnote, never ever had a problem with my desire...it's shook my confidence tbh :-(

Well, the SpeedMod Kernel not only gave me CWM, but also root. According to PA Thread Install instructions, you would need to root your device prior to installing PA.
Yes, after flashing the SpeedMod Kernel, I got the yellow triangle, but since I bought this phone on eBay, without any bill to confirm warranty, I didn't really care about it.
I did not get a yellow triangle after flashing the official Stock ROM!
So I would hazzard to guess that this would not void warrany. (Also, in Download Mode, there was the little text saying: "Custom Binary: No" after flashing the Stock Gingerbread ROM)
So, if I were concerned about warrany, I would have a second look at Dr. Ketans guide, which describes the CWM+Root procedure without increasing the binary counter (at least I think so).
This way, you could get root and CWM after flashing to Stock Gingerbread.
I just had the problem, that Gingerbread wouldn't allow me to go into the Settings Tab to activate Debbuging, which you will need for Dr. Ketans method. (All processes were getting force closed)
If it is possible to wipe the caches and factory reset the phone with stock recovery, I think it would work. It should look like this then:
Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.
Restart to Recovery. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache and do a factory reset (You just flashed Gingerbread Stock, which should have given you a safer kernel)
Restart
Activate USB Debugging and untrusted sources.
Follow Dr. Ketans Guide on how to Root+ get CWM
Continue from step 8 above.
Since I consider myself a complete noob to the flashing business, someone should propably confirm, what I've just written. I wanted to be on the safe side and therefore flashed a known safe kernel again over Gingerbread, just to be sure (and to get root+CWM)
Hope that helped.
Well mine didn't :-(
I'm now cursing after my planned upgrade failed :-( I'm stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen wondering what to do
My sequence was
a) Unpack SGN, and it upgraded to ICS
b) read about all the dire warnings on ICS - and curse!
c) figure out how to flash speedmod and get root via the temp CWM - and I was pretty happy about this for a few days..
d) battery life seemed poor - so I wondered if the Abyss kernel would help
e) Went into Recovery - which appeared to be CWM (volume & on/off to navigate) and flashed the Abyss kernel and performed a wipe (assured that my SGN was safe with speedmod)
f) Now stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen - wondering what to do?
My recovery seems to be the touch screen version now - when I can get into it.
Suggestions please?
(My old nexus One wasn't this tricky!)

Wll I reflashed speedmod with Odin - and at least it looks like its booting!... anxious minutes later.... well I/m back. I don't know what i did wrong - but |I don't want to repeat that in a hurry.
I'll wait for CM9 to come out with an approved kernel before messing further!
Before I begin, yes... I did search and look through a few threads with similar titles but did not find my problem.
I am not a phone geek and I am new to all this, but I rooted my Note along with a "Franco kernel", which worked successfully. My phone booted up as it was before (in fact I noticed absolutely no difference in my phone, whatsoever).
The problems begun when I tried to install an "Abyss" kernel via CWM, which apparently installed successfully, but the phone would never get past boot-up (not so successful after all, huh?). I realized that it wasn't going to work, so I though no problem, and went back into CWM and re-installed the Franco kernel that I was using before (which worked). Strangely, this kernel, too, would now no longer boot.
I successfully restored the phone with a GB rom via odin (teriible rom), and proceeded to install the so-called "Hydracore" kernel (love the names) via cwm.... this kernel made things even worse. Once again the installation was supposedly "successful", but the phone doesn't go past boot. This time, it gets stuck on a very dim black screen, which isn't actually black, it is a dark creamy/pink hue that you can only notice in absolute darkness. (WTF?) This screen has random black blotches on it, but again, if you are in a lit up room the screen looks completely black and you cannot tell that it is actually lit. When I say that this kernel made the problems even worse, I say that because when this happens (dim black screen), I cannot even enter CWM recovery at all to try and install a different kernel. From here, I can only access download mode, and have no choice but to restore the phone with the GB rom via odin. I did so, and proceeded to install the latest version of "Hydracore" (v5.4) posted right here on XDA by the member 'chasmodo.' This time, I did the installation of the kernel via odin, which, once again, was supposedly successful... and once again a lie, as the phone just goes into the same black screen, with no option other than download mode.
The sole reason I have wasted hours of my life researching and understanding mobile phone terminology in the past few days is so that I can have jellybean on my Note. It seems that I am unable to do this because the Kernels are not working on my device. I have a very powerful and capable phone, which is currently stuck on this GB rom (which I think has to be the most terrible piece of coding ever made) so any help on this would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
can you try go back to stock GB rom.. then upgrade to ICS and root using Dr Ketans method and then install Hydracore
You flashed Hydracore on GB rom? that's the main reason behind your problem, this Kernel is not for GB. Now either flash custom GB kernel or flash stock GB firmware using pc odin and then root it. Check post # 2 in this thread for rooting. (I guess you know how to do this )
Once you have root and cwm recovery, you can flash any custom rom you want.

Hi there, sorry to hear of your challenges.
One thing to remember before flashing is the nature of safe / unsafe kernels. Equally as important is compatible / non compatible kernels. It's not clear from your post but did you flash Abyss on an ICS ROM? If so, Abyss is a GB kernel. It will install but the ROM wont run due to lack of compatibility.
Abyss is used by many as a Safe kernel, a base to flash a new ROM from . Alternatively, it can be used to "downgrade" to Gingerbread ROMs.
If you are intent on trying a JB ROM, I would suggest a doing a full wipe (use the numerous guides on XDA) and a kernel clean (jBroid Script Cleaner for example). Now, research Chasmodo's excellent Kernel Repository and choose a kernel. Hydracore 4.3 Standard is a good "benchmark" however you could try the Official CM10 kernel from Entropy. Reboot to Recovery and flash your JB ROM of choice.
You will now have "Full Wiped" (including Script Clean), installed a Safe (Compatible) Kernel and flashed a compatible ROM.
For what its worth, I found GB to be an excellent ROM, particularly 2.3.6 and 2.3.7. CheckROM was one of my favorite ROMs on the S2 and they didnt even feel the need (till recently) to make an ICS version.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Yes, I forgot to mention that when I rooted it I was running official 4.0.3 which I got OTA. After I rooted I tried the Abyss kernel. I had read that if you try and install CM10 straight from ICS you can brick, and that you had to downgrade to GB to do this. There must have been a misunderstanding on my part as I though that installing Abyss would downgrade me to GB.
What I don't understand is that I have now installed a GB rom, yet the Abyss gb kernel still does not work.
The two members that posted mentioned that I should root, though I did mention in the OP that it is already rooted... Am I missing something?
Anyway, I want to avoid having to download any more big files. I already have the latest "nightly" build of CM10 in my SD card. Is there any GB kernel that I can install from where I am now that would make it safe to install the CM10 zip?

If I were on a GB ROM and wanted to run CM10 I would Full Wipe (including Cache and Dalvik) then do the following -
Flash Official CM10 kernel.
Reboot to Recovery (do not go straight to ROM flash)
Once back in Recovery, flash the CM10 ROM.
Reboot device.

So the official CM10 kernel is a gb kernel? Because remember that is what I'm currently on.
And just to make sure I got you... wipe everything, install kernel (I don't understand what you mean by "go straight to rom flash"), but then not "reboot system", instead "reboot to recovery", then install CM10 rom?
Also, when you say a "full wipe" do you mean that it will erase everything like a factory reset and delete all my apps and everything else? And is there anyway to install CM10 without doing this or is that the only way?
Cm10 kernel is a jelly bean kernel, so gb rom will not run under it.
Full wipe does mean erasing everything. Coming from gb, there is no other way to install, you need a full wipe, remember, you're updating two full revisions of the os, so it's not surprising a full wipe is needed. If you're worried about your apps, root gb before upgrading and use titanium backup to backup you're apps and then restore them when on cm10.

If you are on rooted GB Rom and want to flash a custom JB or ICS one, this is what you do:
1. drop into recovery
2. do a full wife™ (factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik)
3. flash your JB/ICS Rom
4. reboob
Nothing else is needed, no intermediate steps like flashing another kernel in between, and especially no running Jbroid or Sybr kernel cleaning script.

2. do a full wife™ (factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik)
3. flash your JB/ICS Rom
4. reboob
Nothing else is needed, no intermediate steps like flashing another kernel in between, and especially no running Jbroid or Sybr kernel cleaning script.

You telling me that I can safely go straight to JB from my current GB rom and kernel?
I already have a "nightly" JB rom on my SD card, so just to be clear, all I do is go into CWM recovery, do a "full" wipe (how do I do that by the way?) and install the JB rom from zip?
Yes, you can go ahead. Just follow the instructions kindly provided by chasmodo.
But please, do not forget to flash GApps after you flashed the JB "nightly ROM which is on your SD Card". Otherwise you won't have Google account, play store etc yada yada.
Full wipe (aka full-wife™) means wipe data/factory reset. Nothing else.

Great! I am downloading the GApps for JB now. How do I install them? I understand that this is also done through CWM recovery, but how do I instal them? do I install the JB rom and reboot to recovery and then just install GApps from zip before rebooting system?
Also, does the full wipe have to be done in CWM recovery, or can I just do the normal wipe on the phone menu before entering recovery?
You flash the ROM by pointing the recovery to the "ROM.zip", the same is valid for "GApps.zip".
So you do the following, no reboot in recovery in between those 2 steps!
Install zip (from where it is located, internal/external SD )
*ROM.zip
*Gapps.zip
*reboot system
Wipe data/factory reset is done (most of the times) in recovery. Just get used to it. Saves you some bad habits on doing it on stock ICS ...

OK install ROM and then install GApps straight away, got it.
Just about the wipe, is it a simple one button wipe that wipes everything, or are there several things that I have to wipe independently? This is the part I'm not too sure about.
Just go into recovery and have a look. I mean, a really close look! Your topic was "need help to install a kernel" not "I don't know how to use recovery and please can someone come over to my place in order to explain me CWM recovery".
Sorry. Everything has been explained. Can't (or rather dont want to) help you further than what has been already mentioned. Period.

That's fine. I'll go into recovery and have a look. Thanks for the help that you did give anyway.
It worked! I have been messing around with my new Note on Jellybean and looking through all the settings. It doesn't have project butter (or at least the project wasn't very successful), but still miles ahead of Touchwiz.
Just want to extend a big thanks to everyone that has helped me out. Much appreciated.
I will try to be as detailed as possible. I have been long time user here, but this is the first time I'm posting. I usually read the instructions and posts and that usually suffices my needs. I was on a rooted galaxy note running chasmodo's assylum rom for quite some time now. For Flashing a new rom, I used to go to recovery mode, flash abbysnote kernel (v 3.9) and install a new rom. A few days ago i tried to flash Ezaechiel XXLT6 KM edition - V2.1. I guess I should have checked md5 of the downloaded rom coz after flashing it, my phone refused to boot up. It always took me to the recovery mode screen where i tried to install abyssnote kernel and reinstall assylum. but it didn't work. So I went to dr. ketan's post and tried to flash a pre rooted rom (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip) using pc odin. Now my phone works fine but i'm on ginger bread. I tried to flash new roms using recovery mode (abbyssnote kernel method) but no new rom can be installed. Everytime I try to install a new rom i face boot loop or get stuck on the setup screen. So I follow the PC odin method to flash the same pre rooted rom (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip) to get my phone working again. I would like to go back to assylumrom because i got used to aosp jellybean so much now. Anybody who has faced a similar problem in the past, please help
Use one of PhilZ kernels and then in his recovery prepare your device for a clean install (there is an option that does more than only "factory reset". With the old ones you didn't clean /preload.
Then follow the instructions to install your preferred Rom.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply thaidai. I will try the method and get back to you I used to do a clean wipe every time.
Mate first upgrade your stock ROM to ICS or JB. The ROMs like Asylum aren't supposed to be installed in GB, so first upgrade, then root and do a full wipe (data,cache,preload,dalvik) and get back to flash the ROM. No need to flash the Abyssnote every time, why do you do that?

I tried installing Cassies Xtraliterom XLC1 after the PC odin method. Got boot loop. What I'm basically saying is, after trying the PC odin method to rescue the device, I can't seem to install any other rom on it using the recovery mode route. Not even other GB roms. What am I to do??

I started using abyssnote kernel to install new roms after the "brick scare" of last year after which a lot of developers started recommending the method. I used to change between GB, ICS and JB roms easily using the abyssnote kernel. Don't know why it's not working anymore.
