[Q] Currently unable to install any rom - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Current situation
I haven't been able to use my phone for a good day now and I been busy reading guides, trying out stuff for a bunch of hours now. I thought it was time to ask you guys. Currently this is the only thing I'm able to do:
When I boot normally its stuck on the black screen with Samsung Galaxy Note on it.
When I boot with volume down, a screen popups up if I'm sure than press volume up. After that I'm in ODIN mode (says so with red letters in the left top). Below that it says: PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7000 , CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO , CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL.
In the middle of the screen below the Android guy it says: Downloading... Do not turn of target !! (I'm not really sure if its suposed to say downloading there, while its not downloading anything?)
What I did so far
I came from a gingerbread Rocket ROM and decided to try out the ICS Stunner rom. I downloaded the ROM and read the install discription. I pretty much went into CWM right away to install the zip (rom) from SD card. It did work and ofcourse everything was still there cause I didnt wipe anything. But I noticed that a bunch of things didn't work and a lot of programs where crashing. I assumed I must have missed a step so I decided to go with the 'Squeaky Clean' install, which was posted on the team-passion website.
This was the last time I was able to get into CWM and connect my phone true USB with my laptop. Because I did the following steps:
Reboot in to ClockworkMod Recovery.
Format the following:
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
**Enter 'Mounts and Storage'**
- Format everything it will allow you to
**Go Back, enter 'Advanced'**
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Wipe Battery Stats
**Go Back to main menu, reboot system**
The next step on that list is: Remove your battery and boot up into 'Download Mode'. But the only mode I am getting into is the ODIN MODE where it already says 'Downloading...'. When I try to flash using ODIN, it isn't able to setup the connection. It does identify that the phone is connected because the ID:COM is yellow on 0:[COM3]. It didn't before, but after reading somewere that it might help to install Kies for the drivers it did.
Also tried "InitialCFRootFlasher" and "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" but both arent able to establish the connection. Just like ODIN.
What I'd like to do
I'd prefer going with the ICS Stunner ROM, seeing thats how this all started. But currently I'd settle for anything working, because being phoneless for a day is pretty anoying hehe.
What do you guys suggest?

I really don't know how u understood the process. But just don't screw this. Go download any of the pre rooted odex rom -link in my signature - and flash it via odin.
Or any rootable rom from dr ketan's thread - link in my signature - and follow the steps mentioned there to the Dot slowly and calmly. Just get to GB and rooted. Then report here. Will tell u how to go to ics stunner after that.
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm currently downloading one of the prerooted roms from your signature. However it would suprise me if ODIN allows me to install these seeing it can't really connect to the phone. Am I suposed to be in the 'Downloading... Do not turn of target !!' screen on my phone, while connected to laptop true USB?
Will update once I'v got it.

Yup u need to be in that mode. The odin on your PC should show the Com port as yellow. If it doesnt then there is some drivers problem.

It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading any rom in PDA, Phone or Bootloader and only checking auto reboot and f. reset time this is what happens:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
And thats where its hanging, nothing on the phone screen is changing.
I don't remember the screen saying 'Downloading..' last time I flashed something. It's already saying that when I enter the screen, when its not downloading anything.

Apparently I'm not able to make edits yet here so heres another post after figuring out how to load these files:
It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading the three files in ODIN under PDA, PHONE and CSC just like on the screenshot in your signature. And only checking 'Auto reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' the following happens:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> MODEM.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> CSC_N7000XEULA1_XEU.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

Done! I'm still not sure what went wrong, I think placing the files in the wrong place in ODIN. Got a tip from someone how to place them and they worked in one go. Pretty weird cause I was using the same setup as the XDA guide post.
Main problem is solved now, I'll have to look into the ICS thing now. Thanks for your help.

Sorry was away so couldnt reply. The setup shown i xda should work perfectly. Anyways its good to know that you got all things settled. You can install the ICS Stunner (no touchwiz and no samsung apps) if you so want. Remember to backup your data as you will have to wipe data for going to ICS. From rooted GB install mobile odin then download the lp1 repack from my signature and after all that is done reboot to recovery clear caches and data and flash stunner (download the latest build by clicking Stunner in my signature) clear caches and data and reboot.
* Triangle away is required only when you flash lp1 through PC Odin.*

Ended up using the mobile odin application, works like a charm.
Thanks for your help!

Please help i think i brick my phone

i was going to flash the new 4.0.4 version of ics today so i went to use cwm on my hong kong 4.0.4 version ics to factory reset and it got stuck, so i pulled out the battery and when i turn it on its stuck at the samsung logo boot screen.
I try using odin to flash roms but they are all stuck at NAND WRITE.
i try using a pit file to repartition my samsung but its stuck at the connection part T.T
i had this similar problem before installing a custom kernel on a stock ics and i bricked my phone but i managed to fix it with a pit file and dr.ketan' s pre rooted gb rom then flashed a ics from there.
Now i cant even flash dr. ketan prerooted gb rom because its stuck at nand write please help T.T
NOW EVERY ROM I FLASH IS STUCK AT SETUP CONNECTION PART INCLUDING KERNELS EVERYTHING I CANT EVEN GO TO MY RECOVERY MENU T.T

i am not able to flash that kernel its stuck at setup connection
if it stucks, just unplug the USB cable, then plug it back in, and ODIN would readily detect that.
If not still use a different USB port to plug it to.

but sometimes it nand write stuck T.T
First find a steady USB signal in one of your USB ports.. Plug to that port (to clear the issue on stuck in setup connection), The problem in the stuck connection you have is that Odin can't find a strong usb signal to send to, to your phone. Try using a different usb port (not a usb hub if your using one), then follow the previous post on top -#2 link.
Worst case scenario on your issue would to be, to take your phone back to SSC and have them replace the mobo... Your phone just got hit by the brick bug bud

wait a minute..how did you install the kernel ? thru PC Odin? Where you able to boot your phone in download mode? (not the recovery mode). If you are able to, Plug your phone to one of the USB ports on your computer and open back PC Odin. Follow the steps on the link I posted - #2 on top my post for you to bring back your Note in tiptop shape.

i was on stock ics kernel hong kong version of the rom then i went flash cwm from stock recovery i tried factory reset on cwm and boom my phone broke.
can you post that link you were told to flash the kernel to? That link might be an outdated one already. Anyway the point now is how to revive your brick phone. In download mode, try to flash back to stock GB and again make sure your plug to one of the usb port on your PC and make sure 'Reset time' is tick in PC Odin. After you got the stock GB in place in the 'PDA' part, try to reflash the stock firmware again.

- Then connect to computer using usb cable.
the thing is that it doesnt restart to recovery only samsung boot logo with a yellow triangle
wait actually i am able to get in cwm recovery can i download a custom rom and install via there to fix it?

Is your phone rooted before? You can't make any nandroid backup if your phone is rooted. Now given if your phone still has root on it. What was the last kernel that your phone was using?
Please bear in mind, you need to really understand the instructions presented on that link I gave you. If it helps that you need to read it from the start of that thread down to the very end, then do so. It's the only alternative way I can advice you to revive your brick phone.
Now the other second option though would be (like I've said earlier), to send it back to Samsung.
Those are your only two options....
i used pit for repartition now when i boot it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again but i cant seem to connect my phone with kies? it just say connecting.... stuck there..
You will most likely need a motherboard replacement... sorry

[Q] Please help me with my Note GT-N7000 (I might have bricked it)

My Galaxy Note GT-N7000 was on CM10 last night and I followed Zedomax's rootgalaxynote.com GT-N7000 unrooting method and when I was installing the Mobile Odin Lite on my phone, it said it needs to download more add-on to be able to flash it, then all the sudden my internet connection was down, so I couldn't download it, but followed his instruction and tried wipe and factory reset, but it got stuck at formatting (no progress), then I flashed cm9 again, but it was stuck at cm9 boot logo, nothing else. Then I followed Zedomax's rootgalaxynote.com's first method using my Computer Desktop but

you give not detail as needed. but nevermine, from the last part it seems you has bricked your phone.
i think you might need to refer "hg42" thread to revive your note.

the ever GOLDEN RULE: Don't ever ever attempt to WIPE data if your on a unsafe or on a stock ICS kernel. That's should be at the top of your list before you do anything on your phone. If you need to WIPE, make sure your already in a safe kernel or if you haven't still, then flash one.
Now going back on your perennial issue. The only thing you can and will do is FLASH a stock GB on download mode using PC ODIN. Yes Doc Ketan's thread/s have those old GB's ROM.. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, follow it to a tee.
One added thing when your going to start to flash GB again... Pray, that it would not stuck back again at 'factoryfs.img'
Good luck bud!
No luck...yet.

Can you get the Note into Download mode?
If so, try using desktop Odin (latest desktop version not mobile version) and flash the Abyss 4.2 kernel. the Tar file is easily found on XDA. This is a GB kernel and should allow you to get into full Recovery. From there you can flash a new ROM as you are now on a safe kernel.
Tried that, but not sure about the latest desktop version.

Hi, thank you for your message, I was on Abyskernel when I factory data reset, and tried to flash back to cm9 from cm10, but no luck. Then I used Odin3-v1.85 on desktop with Gingerbread Rom, it got stuck at factoryfs.img.. I have tried with different pc disabling firewall and anti virus. What is the latest desktop version of Odin that you know? What specific tar file do you know that is the best? Thank you again.

your CM10 to CM9 downgrade sounds like a bad flash, it can happen. I would try Odin3 V3.05 with Abyss (search for "AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar" or go here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/yoe791qq3atbung/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar).
this should allow you to install a safe kernel to flash from. if you can now access Recovery, then you can flash a ROM from there. I would use a Stock based one (I always recommend Chrack ROM or Criskelo), If you prefer, you can download a Stock tar file and use Odin but I would try downloading the latest Chrack ROM or Criskelo ROM, transferring it to your micro SD and flashing after you have installed the Abyss tar.
I hope this helps. Please hit Thanks if it did.

You gave me the AbyssNotekernel, but the only thing my phone can now do when I turn on is either show a screen with "Firmware upgrade encounters an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" or on download mode. Or is there any way I can use the Desktop Odin and try to install the AbyssNotekernel that you gave me?

You gave me the AbyssNotekernel, but the only thing my phone can now do when I turn on is either show a screen with "Firmware upgrade encounters an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" or on download mode. Or is there any way I can use the Desktop Odin and try to install the AbyssNotekernel that you gave me? I really don't know bro. Thank you for the message, please let me know.

Yes, the Abyss tar file is for use with Odin. install Odin on your PC, put the Note into Download and connect. Flash the tar file and wait for the Note to reboot (search for notes on how to flash with Odin if you're not 100% sure). you should now be able to use Recovery to flash a ROM from this safe kernel.
Just a quick question.

Sorry I didn't explain in details, I am on pc Odin version 3.07 and clicked on PDA but the Abyss tar file is not appearing there even after unzipping it a couple of times on the desktop. Please let me know bro. Thank you for your response.

.tar file is to be flashed with odin directly. It has an image inside and should not extract it. Should put the .tar file in one folder but not on desktop screen. Select pda box in odin and brow to the folder where you put .tar file. Should see it there.
BTW, if flash using CWM failed again, then should use hg42 scanner to check if there is partition damage.

Thanks for your patience on your instruction, I actually was able to flash the Abysskernel that you gave me with ODIN and it went straight to the recovery mode, but then I can't install anything, then I put it back to download mode and tried to flash a Gingerbread ROM, but as always it got stucked at factoryfs.img. What do you think I can do bro? Please let me know about it. Thank you.

It seem to show you have an emmc brick, although using the partition scanner will confirm. The options are to send to ss service for warranty or to revise using repartition. For warranty you will need to reset flash counter using a jig.

Hi bro,
I flashed the Abysskernel again and it went to Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 logo with big Triangle at the bottom and it then goes to Android system recovery <3e>, then it looks like there is no option for me to access the SD card, but its own 16GB storage it came with and that one has CM10 in it. Tried to flash that, but it says "E:failed to verify whole-file signature". If I attempt to claim for warranty will Samsung know that I rooted it after clearing the binary counts? Please let me know. Thank you for your instructions. If there is anything else you want me to try out, please let me know. Thank you.

Once reset flash counter the triangle will go and you can flash a stock kernel find link from dr.ketan toolbox, then it is ok to send to warranty.

[Q] Triangle away with original rom

Hi, at first I want to say, that I wanted to post into the original thread, but I can't since I don't have permission to write into a developer thread. I just used Triangle away on my mobile phone and it resseted the counter to exact 0. Everything works fine and I'm good, but now, I want to also flash the original rom again, what would increase the counter to 1. Can I use triangle away also on an original rom? or only at custom rom?
and what is about the root? do i have to unroot my mobile phone if i want to send it back to samsung? or would it be enough if i flash an original rom and reset the flash counter to 0?

If your counter is already 0, then you can just flash stock rom using pc odin and doing so will not raise the counter.. Also when you flash the stock rom it removes any kind of modification like custom kernel, root etc. Head over to this thread if you want to download and flash stock rom of your country with tutorial for flashing stock rom too:

Follow the instructions again from Dr. Ketan's thread coz the log you mentioned does not seem complete. also make sure you have the correct firmware downloaded and that too complete only extract the main zip file to get tar.md5 file.

Hi, thanks again, but this didn't work also, so I just tried to download the latest Odin Version (3.04) and with this version it worked without any other problems. But there must a reason that the xda-developers recommend Odin v1.85 instead of version 3. So if you found this thread with Google don't rely on me here.

Check if a kies process is running in the background. Like device manager or connection manager.

[Q] rooted Gt7000 that I pressed update firmware,now not working . . please help

Hello All
I have a GT 7000 with stock 4.1.2 on it and it is only rooted.
It told me it had downloaded firmware update which i pressed install ( not knowing I shouldn't have because of my note being rooted) , and in doing so it is now just showing the little android dude with the blue thing in his tummy going round
Pressing volume up, home, power button won't do anything.
I can only get it into odin mode ( volume down, home, power button )
I am a complete noob and not sure what to do to get my note to work.
A friend said I need to flash a new rom via odin and I cant find a clear guide on how to do that.
For I can't afford to brick my note.
Please help
Kindest regards
pipsqueak 22 ooox
You have to have the samsung drivers installed for odin to work.
To get a stock rom google for sammobile. There are all official formwares (You will have to register).
After that extract that file, run odin and select the pda file (extracted md5 file).
Flash it. After reboot go to stock cwm and wipe data.
You should be fixed now.

Odin is the way to go and the only way. Use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 it will show how to flash Philz kernel on your phone and then you will have cwm. After that you will have to get a cwm flashable Rom out of the android dev section and put on your sd card, usb mass storage my work in philz kernel if so just put Rom on card and flash through cwm. Then phone will work or find a guide on pc Odin for flashing stock n7000 roms they are out there

Thanks jakuburban for your advice.
Though i didn't need to "After reboot go to stock cwm and wipe data." or maybe i do.
I just let it finish booting etc and everything was working fine,everything intact and okey dokey.
Can anyone say why this happened and what to do about updates in the future please?
Thanks again guys.:laugh:
Yeah, you sometimes don't need to wipe data. I told You to do this to be 100% sure it will work.
For the future, You can't use official update if You have root (normally it should give You information that You can't update the os because "Your device has been modified"), as You don't have original cwm and it won't boot into cwm to update Your os.

Im not sure how to do this as I was looking at putting cyanogenMod rom on but I was reading some where not all rom's come in .tar forms
and I downloaded the latest stable rom from cyanogenMod but it is a . zip
so im not sure what to do there?
Thanks heaps

Hanging at that place means there is some problem with the connection between note and pc. Make sure you have all the drivers installed and use original USB cable and main USB ports.
zip file roms need to be installed using clockwork mod recovery.

I tried to install a new italian rom 4.1.2 via odin but every attempt failed
Unfortunately I ended up into a thread about ICS kernel (sorry if I make some mistakes with names but I'm really lost....)
so downloaded the ICS and with my surprise it was installed into the phone.
From that moment the N7000 hang at samsung logo with the yellow triangle....
And the worst thing It goes in download mode but not in recovery mode.....
I tried to read many post before write, trying to understand waht to do but now I'm totally confused..... md5,tar,img, zip...... kernel,root, cwm., rom ....
Someone may explain to me if there is something to do to save the phone?
Thanks i n advance

so, what is your question actually??
Mate, I think the question is simple.
From what I understand in your comment, it seems you tried to install the Stock Rom 4.1.2 Italy, when you were the 4.0.4 / 4.0.3 Stock Rom Italy. On installation through ODIN pc you had a problem where it remains in the Samsung logo, will not let you enter the Recovery mode, only the Download mode. Is that so?
I should arrived that case do not leave any triangle would remove the battery, and after 10-15 seconds reintroduce it, and just then press buttons to enter the Recovery mode. If it fails, repeat the removal of the battery, but now when placed connect the DC charger to the phone I tried to turn normally to 20-25 seconds (just outside and away the logo of battery charging), and try to turn it on Recovery mode again, but we will keep down so long that should disappear all as to turn it off, and you press the keys for the Recovery mode, this time releasing anything else lighting appear on the screen, just a moment before letters GT-N7000, now if it really is accessible Recovery should apparate.
If you enter Recovery Mode Stock Samsung, you will have look out if a line appears below indicating the application, or wondering whether to apply the new CSC, we accept without thinking, since it must reaffirm the phone to initiate a Stock Rom.
Now if I come to this moment really was not accessible Recovery mode should get a screenshot of ODIN pc which finishes entering files to mobile, if it were really a fault, and do not leave do the installation, if you checked any box incorrectly, of which are not activated.
Other options include USB cable failure, USB port, lack of USB debugging enabled before starting the installation, do not put at least 10 minutes in the backlight time (this can try to fix running a finger across the screen every 23 seconds if it was 30 seconds off), but that the capture can determine ourselves if the error is only for ODN pc, which can be a failed in the installation and have not really finished the installation, in this case it would be almost insurance problem USB cable used, and in extremis or USB port.

Thanks to reply.....
I was not really clear probably.
I tried to install 4.1.2 over 4.0.4 dedicate rom (3 H3G italian operator)
Odin always failed hanging or giving some fault
So I installed the ICS kernel (or rom) everything was fine. So I suppose the cable is ok , odin is ok etc....
But from the moment I downloaded the ICS, at reboot the phone hang on samsung logo with yellow triangle. ANd if I try to switch off the phone it restart and hang on logo.
Download mode is still working but recovery mode not.....
I'm looking for some kernel, rom, cwm to download, to recover the phone.....
The best thing to do is reinstall the ROM 4.1.2 (the 4.0.x are more dangerous if we wipes, JellyBean when they are not), but check that no error appears, if it appears only after installing the Rom rather fails during it, you can download the kernel Philz for you version, right now if you tell me the link to SamMobile I can tell you what, so you can tell which is correct, although it is not hard to tell if you look at the post of Philz above kernel with all links to them. After installation and download the kernel, you turn the phone into Recovery mode, you select mount usb (I think it came out well, but stresses) and connect your phone to your pc, you can pass the kernel to the internal SD and another copy to the SD external (remember to leave both copies at the root of both SD's). You MUST complete the transfer and disassemble with the option displayed on screen, and disconnect the USB cable. You continue by going to install zip, and should be able to select the Kenel Philz to install, after installing (if you get an error: Status 7 quiet, it was not the correct version of the kernel, and not actually installed), you will have to restart the mobile again, but when you start on with the letters GT-N7000, you will have to restart it by pressing Vol + - Power - Home, all at once, and keep it until the letters again, and keep it until it goes - restart, then you press the 3 keys, and when the letters appear, you must drop the 3 keys, and should you appear the menu Recovery kernel Phliz, there as you will see below something that says CSC implemented or instead ask if you want to apply, accept if you ask, and you should be able to restart the phone and wait about 5 minutes maximum to emit sound and vibration as it is booting at all, and then you should be able to start getting bills from Samsung and Google.
Thank fusionero
the problem is I'm not able to install the 4.1.2 , odin hang or fail
The ROM version I need is
sammobile.com/firmwares/download/22314/N7000XXLT9_N7000ITVLT3_ITV
So I think nex step is to install kernel Philz but I don't know which version I need. On the phone was installed 4.0.4 build IMM76D.XXLRL
CIAO
You must enter this http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/22314/N7000XXLT9_N7000ITVLT3_ITV.zip/ address, and you must connect to you account to download that version you mention, I just check and this downloading smoothly on my pc . The problem is that it would open without ending .zip or you caught hours of server failure, just that i found this morning when downloading another who asked me.
As to what you mention about the version you have installed, as you are looking at the correct thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 ), the kernel you need for what you indicate ( 4.0.4 build IMM76D.XXLRL CIAO ) is this:

Your phone is not booting since you flashed an ICS kernel over a JellyBean ROM
Android ICS version : 4.0.4
Android JB version : 4.1.2
so I hope you understand the difference.
You are lucky you didn't brick your device or have you already
But since you are able to go in download mode I think its not bricked yet.
It was probably a bad download which failed the installation so download ROM again and this time verify that your download is not corrupt by running it via md5 if provided.
also please provide the link of the ROM thread that you are trying to install so that I can understand better
and if you are not looking to flash a custom ROM or rooting your device in order to do so then in that case the steps are pretty straight forward
download Stock ROM
extract ROM
open Odin
select appropriate files i.e Choose CODE in PDA, MODEM in PHONE, Multi CSC in CSC
put phone in download mode and connect
the bar should turn yellow once connected.
once connected click on flash
bar should turn green if successful

I think you hit the problem..... but my original ROM version was 4.0.4 .... (H3G)
Anyway probably something went wrong.... I don't need a custom ROM or to root the device.
I need to install N7000XXLT9_N7000ITVLT3_ITV if possible but the flash doesn't start via ODIN
May you explain step by step what have I to do? I really appreciate....
What do you mean "select appropriate files i.e Choose CODE in PDA, MODEM in PHONE, Multi CSC in CSC" ?
md5 is not a single file? I read something about more files to place in odin.....
@ fusionero: I already downloaded the files.... also PHILZ XXLRL but the device doesn't start anyway.....

Thanks everyone....
I think you hit the problem..... but my original ROM version was 4.0.4 .... (H3G)
Anyway probably something went wrong.... I don't need a custom ROM or to root the device.
I need to install N7000XXLT9_N7000ITVLT3_ITV if possible but the flash doesn't start via ODIN

Did you download the XXLT9 ROM?? or the ROM that you want to flash ??
if so then it should be a zip file, if you extract that zip file you should have 3 files in it (sometimes only PDA file is present and the other two i.e Modem and CSC are not present, dont worry the PDA file alone is enough)
Open Odin, click on PDA button and select the firmware file with .tar.md5 extension (The firmware file look something like: N7000XXDLJ5_N7000ODDDLI7_INU.tar.md5 Select the one that looks similar to the ROM you downloaded)
and if there are CSC and Modem files then select them by clicking Phone and CSC in Odin accordingly. It will be mentioned in the file name if its a Modem or CSC file
if MODEM_XXXX.tar.md5 then select that file by clicking the PHONE in Odin and if XXXX_CSC_XX.tar.md5 then select it by clicking CSC in Odin
remember that you lose all your data
Then just click flash and it should flash
md5 is a single file and is used to check the integrity of the file you downloaded. Its just used to make sure that the file you downloaded doesnt have any errors or is corrupt. you use the .md5 file and compare it with the md5 of the ROM.zip If it matches then its not corrupted or is a bad download. (.tar.md5 and .md5 are different files as in .tar.md5 is a firmware file and .md5 is a hash file used for integrity check)
Just right-click the rar/zip file and select properties and select the "file hashes" tab and if you downloaded a .md5 open that file by clicking "compare file" in the same tab
.md5 is always provided along with file you downloaded and its size is always in kbs , if its not provided then you cant do the hash check
If you dont have "file hashes" tab after right-clicking and selecting properties of the rar/zip file then you should download and install HashTab to get that option
follow this video for a better understanding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ulz-1UYzHBA
the process is same but you should use your ROM files i.e Italian N7000 files to flash your phone and yes Odin version doesnt matter, you can use any version

after trying that try the solution from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41844601#post41844601
and also try and follow the thread as people have posted different solutions regarding your problem
Also this would be the extent of help i can provide
if that doesnt work i dont know what will
So please forgive me for not being able to help any further :angel:
maybe you should use odin3 v3.04 or v3.09.
usually i use odin3 v1.8X for multiple file roms but in your case, you have only One-file rom.

besides, extract all the files in odin archive and place them in one folder dont just start the odin .exe file directly from the archive.
