[Flashing] I f***** up, help needed.

Zup,
I rooted a while ago, and since i'm running Ubuntu i haven't managed to get CWM yet, so i noticed that i can use Odin Mobile Pro to do it so i installed it and downloaded the correct kernel. I opened OMP and browsed to find the kernel on the internal memory but i can't choose it (it's a .RAR-file), so i extract it to see what's hidden inside. According to Odin i can flash "zImage" so i do it. Big big mistake.
The phone won't boot now, and the only thing i get is the "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.
What to do?
Thanks in advance

I can enter Download mode, and that's it. Some help here please?

Use pc odin and flash a stock rom. You must be in download mode

Thanks.
Where can i find a stock ROM? And do i need ADB installed or is it OK with the drivers from Kies? I'm asking since i'm using Ubuntu so i'll have to use my brothers PC, so i can't install a freaking SDK.

Got a stock ROM now, downloaded the ADB files and Odin, so i'll see if that works..

You should just try to read a little more
Kies drivers should be fine. Go to the development forum and you will find stock roms thread.

Awesome. Downloading XXLA4 now, but it takes forever... 100KB/sek.. Horrible servers.. FML

Still downloading the ROM.. WHY in the sweet hell haven't anybody made a torrent or uploaded it to another place? 2 hours to download 550MB on a 20 Mbps connection is tragic..

Update: OK, i'm up and running again! Odin worked like a dream without any problems Thank you so much Indie!
(I don't have any "Thanks" left today, so i can't thank you again)

you said downloading LA4.
Just make clear, LA4 wont Root directly, n looking to sequence, you are going to flash it with PC Odin. If i m correct
Just Downgrade to old version, get it Rooted, then update to LA4

i had the exact same thing after flashing LA4 and had to use odin to flash an older rom to get it booting to then get root access and restore a backup

Yeah, i noticed this when i had downloaded 300MB of LA4, so i didn't bother to stop it and select a rootable ROM I just wanted to get my Note working again. But i'm already missing root like crazy, so i think i'm gonna downgrade and root it again very soon.
Edit: Wait a minute.. I was rooted, i messed the phone up, flashed LA4, booted up the phone, nothing got wiped but i lost root.

ya it is nonwipe version so even with PC Odin, you won't lose anything BUT just ROOT

Aha!
But if i choose to flash another ROM with PC Odin, will i get the triangle at boot? Do i only get the triangle when i flash unofficial ROMs like CM9?
I'm a little unclear on these parts.
Sent from my iPad GT-N7000 using xda premium

No it won't give you triangle if you flash any stock ROM. It gives only when you flash custom(yes like rocket/CM9)

[Q] Autorun FC

Not to familier with the rev, but i need to fix this for a friend, i tried searching so sorry if this has been answered before, but my friend deleted autorun in tibu and now the phone wont connect to a pc. she deleted a bunch of other nessisary apps as well, so i wasnt sure if a factory reset would help. shes on the V6 2.2 update, stock rooted. i assume clockwork is installed so does anyone have a link to a v6 rom that i could flash in clockwork. or the autorun apk or any better ideas?

V6 was never really rooted so a ROM wasn't made for it. I would say just update the phone to the latest update and then root and flash Broken out.

Unfortunately the software won't update without all of the stock applications that are built in to the phone. You'll need to flash the v6.tot file found here.

That will have all of the necessary files.

Thats the whole problem, without autorun the lg software wont read the phone, not even if i mount the sd card from clockwork

Still no answer? :'(

Ok, idk if this will work but it should. Try flashing the v8.tot from emergency download mode. (pull the bat then connect to your PC with the LG software running) flash the tot then use the test mode fix tool and you should be back to square one.
I would post links but I'm on my mobile and I'm not that coordinated.

I haven't heard of lg fix tool.. What's that?

Follow instructions to the letter!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the software doesn't see your phone, try the method I posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662273
same process generally, just a test mode step w/ fix.
either way, if the 1st link doesn't help, the the 2nd should do the trick.

edit: Test mode fix: follow the second link I posted above.

LG Marquee Root Help

Looking for anyone who would be able to help me root this since the ZVC upgrade, I've been over at the other android forums and following the step by step rooting guide and running into problems on both a Vista operating system and Windows 7. I'm looking for someone I can bounce a few questions off of as I have spent the last day and a half trying to get this thing downgraded and rooted. I'm willing to try anything!!! My patience is wearing thin... Thanks in advance!

I'm in the same boat, but I have patience.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I don't have a Marquee but I'll be happy to answer any questions you have though.
A quick google showed me there is quite a few ways to root it. What methods did you try? (I don't know which methods will work on the newer software)

I've tried them all and none work.

1) Have you tried this : link
It should work regardless of what firmware you are using now. Since it will downgrade you to a firmware that can be rooted using security flaws.
2)If you want to keep the newer firmware and not use a custom ROM it's more complicated.
Get your firmware like so : link
Extract it to bin and fls like and inject CWM like so : link
Install it using SFT like so : link
Use the bin and fls files from the above step and NOT the one posted in the thread
Then you'll boot into recovery make wipe in data and cache and in advanced wipe dalvik.
If you are unsure of anything in method 2 don't use it. It can brick your phone ( I can be unbricked but that unnecessary hassle ) Use the first method. ROMs for P970 will not work on the Marquee. (If it does boot then it's lucky don't take the chance thou)

blackjack includes a marquee root process. since I never got feedback for it, I don't know if it works....

Are you sure it was a root.rar because that doesn't exist for the t679 and cant be flashed in recovery. Check to make sure you have the t679 not t759 and if you do, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Exhibit_4G to return to stock, but make sure to read before doing anything.
Edit: to elaborate on the .rar .tar can be flashed with Odin, but that is NOT for the exhibit 2 the exhibit has .zip made by jocala, .rar i don't think can be flashed any way

Thanks so much. That helped!! It was the T679. The root was a .zip file but as Im not very root suave I must have made a mistake some where in the steps. I think Ill reframe from trying to root my phone in the future. Too many confusing steps.

Now I thought this phone was the easiest to root compared to the G1 and the HTC Espresso. The latter being worse. This is just two steps, flash root, flash recovery. Done unless you want a custom rom, then flash rom & gapps.

Well I have never done a root before and I was really overwhelmed with all the information for rooting it. The forum I was on that provided the root info seemed to be more then just two steps.

That is because there were multiple methods although now only one works after the update to android 2.3.6 this is the easiest phone i have ever rooted although the nexus 7 was also easy. HTC phones are a bit harder to root and much harder to flash anything to.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

It doesn't help that with HTC phones to get true root you need to achieve s-off. The locked bootloaders are a pain. I was kind of glad I didn't gave to deal with that with this phone. Although the lack of fast boot means less custom splash screens.

[Q] Galaxy tab P1000 root-flash process

Hi,
I'd like to install CM to my tab. I've read its quite complicated, and you can brick your device quite fast. Could anyone provide a detailed and relatively safe solution to upgrade from 2.2(!)?
Do I need to root first, and install cwm?
Thanks a lot!

Theoretically you don't need root, only need cwm.
But for 2.2, many has locked bootloader that prevents flashing non samsung signed stuff.
So you need to root to then check the bootloader if it is locked. If locked, then apply a patch. That is why root is needed.

Hi,
Here is what I did:
I was on Froyo too (P1000BVJJ2, Orange France).
I rooted the Tab with z4root with no problem
Then checked if bootlooder was locked with SGT-Bootloader-Patch-v1.00.apk (from Chainfire): it was unlocked
Then flashed Overcome 4.1 (follow the guide)
Then flashed AOKP SGT7 JB-MR1 (from Stimpz0r)
Then flashed CM11 (from terenceng)
No problem at all. You can follow my steps, but don't blame me if it does not work for you !

I'm stuck at the "root with z4root" problem. The app is freezing and not doing anything sadly. Tried to look up a solution here, on xda forums, but the last thread about z4root I found was from 2011 and its closed now.
Any other idea how to deal with 2.2?

I will guide you..just follow it without fear.
Search and Download "CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS" using Google.
Search and Download Odin v1.7 using Google.
Switch OFF your Tab and switch it ON while holding Volume down button.It gets into Download mode.
Open the Odin application on PC and Now connect the tab to the PC. The Comment 'Added' appears on Odin. If not try other USB ports and I hope you have installed the PC~ADB drivers.
On the PDA section of Odin browse and include the 'CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS' file, do not alter anything.
Click Start, let it do it business.I will Reset automatically.
Now you have a CWM and a Rooted P1000 Tab. Play well
