Hello Everyone,
I finally bought the new Galaxy Note and well I think I may have done something wrong. I unboxed it, turned it on played with it a bit. Then I rooted it so far all seemed fine. Then i installed clockworkmod and this is where things went wrong now no matter what i do when it boots it goes straight to clockworkmod recovery. Please anyone that is on help, To be honest i am freaking out because i forgot to look and write down the info for this phone so I am not even sure if i can flash it back to stock and start over.
THANK YOU so much to anyone who helps.

How did you root it? Did you use the zergrush exploit? Odin? If you can get to CWM recovery, you could trying flashing a GB ROM, stock firmware, or a nandroid backup...if you made one of those?
First of all thank you for taking the time to help me, I do apprecaite it. I used ODIN to root the phone. I also used ODIN to install clockwork. It will boot straight into clockwork with no problem. Do you know of where I can find a stock rom and go back to the way the phone was when i bought it? I have no idea of what was on it when i bought it forgot to go to about phone to write down the info. I feel so stupid right now.
It doesn't really matter what was on your phone when you bought it. Just go here, download one of the older stock Roms (KK9 would be my choice, easily rootable via zergrush method), and flash it using PC Odin.
After you're done, root it and upgrade stock, flash custom Roms, whatever.

I'm glad you're in the clear now.
So in order to get the phone back to the way it was original when bought, if i follow those instructions and download the kk9 one and then let the phone update everything will be like it was. Think i will hold off on rooting and stuff till i learn more cant afford to mess this phone up.

Sigh. Multiple threads?
Do NOT flash anything

Take the phone, put it the street in front of your house, lie down next to it, start counting mufflers. No more problems.
whats funny is when you are in custom recovery you can mount your USB storage. if only the OP was wise enough to actually read instead of just watching some fkn videos....
It's not the video's fault, the explanations on them work just fine. You just can't expect a video to install things for you.
I feel silly posting this because I am sure it is going to be a really quick answer but I just want to make sure that I have rooted my phone properly using CWM
Reformatting tweaks and more/ Install root and extras/ Install superuser and busybox (Root)
I selected that and it said "done!" is my phone now rooted???
If not what do I need to do?
I am currently reading this but I don't understand everything so just a response would be great, thank you in advance

If you're in a ROM using cwm 5.x, there's a good chance its already rooted.

My apologies I forgot to post here that the issue I had was solved thanks so much you have been a great help I look forward to giving back to the community. I am currently working on a custom MGS1 boot screen, almost done! just need to perfect it the best I can its my first attempt at it.
Hey i'm one dumb guy who managed to brick his Galaxy Note...
I received the ICS Update OTA yesterday, i discovered later that i what on the LPY kernel. Then i though it doesn't matter cause i didn't need to flash any rom because the stock gingerbread was perfectly fine for me.
But the update made my phone (had it for only 2weeks) painfull to use. FC all the time etc... Couldn't do a factory reset because of all the warning over here...
So i flashed the franco Kernel wich was to my knowledge a "safe kernel", then i tried to install the Kingdroid Rom, after all 3 wipe. Wich lead me to brick... I've waited 25 minute for the phone to boot up but nothing... So i tried to restore my backup ok ICS that didn't go well either.
After that i tried to flash trough Odin a Gingerbread Rom, before doing so i've read multiple Guides et threads. Odin got stuck at factoryfs.img every time.
So i did some search and achieved to go through this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26285877#post26285877
I went through the process. And i tried to flash a CM9 rom through recovery as the guy recommends. But i'm still stuck on the Galaxy Note bootscreen.
I believe you guys can help me, i still have access to recovery et Download mode.
I believed i wasn't a Noob since My HD2 i've had numerous phone and rooted\flashed countless roms on HTC/Samsung/Motorola/Sony Ericsson phones... In the end i'm finally juste one big noob...
Thanks for those who will help me, and even take some time to read this.
First thing you should do is check other threads about that around here.
If you can get it into download mode, you could give flashing with Odin a try. If it doesn't get stuck at factory.fs, then you're not superbricked.
If it does get stuck, then you have 2 more hopes:
- HOPE 1
- HOPE 2
If those don't work either...I'm afraid it's off to the Samsung Service center for a shiny new motherboard.
Best of luck to you and hope you get your Note up and running as soon as possible...

If we revive your phone, that's easily sorted.
If we don't, you can make it so that the service center can't really tell.
Right now i am trying to install Rocket Rom after installing, Abyss kernel 4.2 and doing a Full wipe. Waiting for the installation.
Edit: Got through the process after two days. It just took me to write this. And tired the whole process once again desperatly and it worked... Can't believe it...

Wow. You're pretty safe now mate, I guess.
If you're on RocketRom, you can full-wipe, no worries...maybe flash Abyss and reboot recovery and wipe with that, just to be ultra-sure.
You should be clear of any damaging kernels.

LE: Did it work...? You're welcome...?
Haha sorry was late yesterday, i didn't do anything went straight to get some sleep ^^'
I really wanted to thank you guys! I'm sorry if you tought i forgot you...
Well i didn't change the rom neither did i wipe anything. Juste went to work this morning so...
I think i am going to change the Rom the battery consumption is to damn high... Was at 100% this morning and i'm already at 30%...
So it worked my Note is saved! I've tried the link in the OP (And your Hope 1 ^^') a second time flashed Abyss kernel, then flashed Rocket Rom.
The flashing took 10minutes so for the people who went through this wait!
And the first boot took 5 minute.
Once again big big thank to Eug3n91 and Gee2012 been around here for long and this has been one of the best response time ever!

That's not an easy brick fix, that's a tutorial on how to use PCO to flash GB with repartition.
In other words, useless.
In the comment section of the website, quite a few people recovered, so not as useless as it seems!

So, you are back up and everything I'm gathering, correct?
And, also, from what I gather in your OP, you flashed/wiped with Franco kernel? It shouldn't cause bricks and I'm glad it ended up not "bricking" your phone because so far I don't think it has bricked anything.
Stay clear of anything stock from now on and I highly recommend sticking to CM9 kernel/ROMs. They are smooth, safe, efficient, etc.

My pleasure! Sorry I got impatient. Was a bit anxious and...well...to be honest...these methods haven't always gone the same for everyone. Glad you were in luck!
Enjoy your Note!
Guess what it worked to recover my note but i tried a Wipe after it died. Once again i flashed abyss kernel and then the abyss kernel just never booted...
So i tried to flash via Odin didn't either... And then it's just dead... I have access to recovery trought pda4 kernel flahed with Odin.
I don't know if i want to re format re partion everything through ADB...
I'm without phone since yesterday... My case seems to be different.
As you said the Franco kernel wasn't supposed to brick my phone but every single move i try to make it seems to kill it...
Had one day without hassle. Worst phone i had.
Edit @Andreww88: i swear it was bricked i wiped everything and installed the Kingdroid Rom never went through. So i just went back to recovery and flashed bac the Stock rom and then nothing. Just nothing Odin, couldn't do anything.
Edit2: So i've done everything again it's working again on paranoid rom! I'm kinda frustrated on CM9 i have no codecs, the lockscreen is not Note-adapted, and the Stylus is of no use...
Edit3: Can anyone help me getting back to a Stock rom without using Odin?
I'm sorry for the double post but can someone tell me if the Odin Mobile will work even if the Odin desktop doesn't work?

Unfortunately, no.
Congrats for unbricking your note
Its like a Motivational story .
I was also softbricked my Note many times. But managed to unbrick always.
Moral of the story....
Our not is hard to brick if we will not give up..
Because
Winners never quit.... quitters never win
I've sent it back to the repair center. After cyanogen worked, i've used Triangle Away to reset flash counter. Flashed a stock rom. It didn't go well as exepted.
When i sent the phone it had no triangle no flash counter and of course no custom rom!
So as chintamanijaipuri (As Indian i found it very hard to write ^^') said never give up!
Use the link in the OP and flash Cyanogen mod trought recovery. Use the recovery of that thread for me it worked well, Abyss kernel on top didn't work for me. Once you boot cyanogen use triangle away, and Flash a stock rom that will brick your Note in good way, (Without Triangle, flash counter, custom recovery) so it will never be your fault!
Good Luck thanks everybody!
Guys, Im tearing my hair out here. I have been all over the site for some for of comprehensive answer to my question, but everything I find is making me more confused. So please don't make any cynical "use the search" or "we don't search for you" comments. I am asking for help, not sarcasm. Surely this is the point in a Q&A forum?? They say you only get the right answer if you ask the right question, but I'm not sure what questions to ask. So, Now that's out of the way...here is my problem.
I am using GT I9000, and until last night I was using v2 Paranoid Android on Devil Kernel. I set it up initially with the help of a friend, but he is lost as far as getting this problem fixed...hence my capitulation to asking the forum.
I flashed what I thought was the latest PA Rom, but it turns out that it was the latest CM10, so yeah, you guessed it, wrong ROM. I am now caught in a bootloop and unable to get back into recovery in order to flash from zip, or to delete the data folder in order to get rid of the PA data to allow the boot to continue. I am using Clockwork Recovery, but cant get it fired up.
I saw that apparently I can delete data from within Odin, but I cant find out how to, so I then went to see about going down the root of reverting to stock and starting again, but I cant find a stock rom as I m getting an error 404 on the Samsung site and all the links I am finding for a stock rom are directing me there.
Also, when trying to revert, I have JW4, but I don't have the phone or bootloader for it and cat find them as I am not 100% of what I am looking for, and I am also unsure as to whether or not I am needing a pit file in order to re partition. But even when I revert I will be looking to reinstall Paranoid, so is this even necessary.
As you can see, I have a little knowledge, but a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Right now I am looking at a flashing brick that is taunting me....If there is an easy way for me to get into clockwork recovery, I'm sure I can go from there, but I really I am at a loss, and cant think what questions I need to ask to rectify this situation.
Any help that I can get would be most appreciated...
Thanks
G
[edit] I have since posting this, taken the bricking to a stage further. I am now looking at a black screen with a fone and computer icon with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark between. I now have to go to stock....please help. I REALLY need to get my fone back in order... I needs it for work. Thanks again.
Hi, i tried to PM you but it seems i cannot send private messages yet.
anyway, you have the jw4 right? install it via odin and before that flas a root kernel for acces the recovery
