Facing big problem:
- Over a stock phone: flashed SGN_XX_OXA_KJI using PC odin.
- Flashed CF root kernal + CWM using BAT file. (KJ1)
- Phone was rooted and CWM installed.
- When it says flash CF kernel by placing on SD card, it think i did a mistake and using mobile odin I flashed KJ1 kernel again (I dont know which kernel to be flashed and where to get that).
- Seemingly phone got bricked and wont boot.
Somehow I managed to access the download mode.
- Flashed stock firmware GTN-7000_CPW_Blah
- Phone came back to life
- flashed SGN_XX_OXA_KJI using PC odin again
- Flashed CF root kernal + CWM using BAT file. (KJ1)
- Phone was rooted and CWM installed.
- Straightaway rebooted to CWM, did a full wipe and installed ICS stunner 1.4.19
- Phone booted.
Now the problems:
- Can't access root. No mobile odin, no CWM.
- Can't copy files to int/ext card. Phone hangs/PC hangs.
- Am able to access the download mode though.
- Please help. In case someone from India can share his phone number with me and guide me how to come out of this.

Flashed rooted stock odex GB
Now root checkers are confirming that phone is rooted
But can't copy any file in system folder
shall i go ahead and patch the abyss kernel?
Edit:
Was able to copy files in system folder using x explorer after granting r/w rights to the system folder.
Shall I proceed ahead to patch abyss kernel.
abyss kernel patched successfully with CWM. Installed latest stunner. But cant get tablet functionality. :-(
Please help.
Never ever ever ever trust root checkers. The only way to know for sure if you really have root access is to try and paste a file into /system folder. If you can do it, you have root. If you cannot, you have no root, it's as simple as that.
This means that you never had GB root in the first place, hence you ICS root problems.

Okay I have a Samsung I9000m I got yesterday. I made a copy of my EFS from what I Can tell and copied it to my PC. I currently am Running stock Rogers Firmware 2.3.3 and want to install a 4.0.4 firmware like Dark Knights 3. IS there anything else I need to do or can I just copy it to the root of the phone and install it with clockwork or is there something else I am missing. I go to recovery but it is the stock recovery, this is where I ma thinking I am missing something. The phone is also rooted. Can any one point me in the right direction. And yes I been looking on the forums and not seeing what I need.
Thanks

If you can not enter CWM Recovery mode, you can not install ICS. You need to install a kernel such as Semaphore (installed with ODIN in box PDA) and you can install it and ICS with no problem.
Oh I forgot, when you go to install ICS, you must remove the MicroSD, but may occur Bootloop.
and backup the the efs folder first!!!
Sounds like clockworkmod is not properly installed.
Revert to stock using odin. Then install CF-root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
This will root your stock rom and install clockworkmod.
OK I have a GT i9000 and I did manage to get into CWMode.
Now each time I try to install new custom ROM (I choose the zip from the SD card) 5secs after it starts installing it reboots and winds up in the blue CWM recovery screen. Tried different ROM's but - nada.
Any feedback?

You need to update the bootloader to a newer version. Install a 2.3 stock rom first and it should be fine.

Well I thought 'cause I'm on GB 2.3.3 it is OK.
Do I really need a new bootloader?
UPDATE: I managed to install the ROM. Dunno why, but on the second CWM screen I again choose to install the zip and it did the job.
Hi there,
coming from SGS2, for last three weeks I was a happy user of SGN. Rooted, went through a couple of GB roms, and now I tempted myself with KingDroid ICS NoteMania Edition v2.0. I followed the procedure, installing Abyss kernel, rebooting recovery and doing wipes, but afer installation system won't load (reboots on boot screen) and I am pretty much sure I lost root, because I tried to flash it again (without wiping in CWM, 'cause I heard it may brick the device) and stuck at "opening package".
Now I have only one question - I don't care whether I will be back on GB or move to ICS, I just want to get out of this pretty messy situation - having no working rom, probably no root as well, so I can't reflash Abyss Red Pill I've got on my SD card. Any hints?
UPDATE: I flashed CF ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.3 via Odin and tried to flash Abyss 4.2, but still it freezes on "Installing package".
Am I done for?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Seems like I am left with no other options. Current ICS build won't load and I lost root, so flashing GB with Odin looks like the way to do something about it. Or does anybody else has another solution?
UPDATE
I managed to flash pre-rooted GB LC1 via Odin, than flashed Speedmod with CWM and now I'm back on my Chrack LC1 GB. My only question remains - how do I know if my Note is now affected with eMMC bug and my /data partition isn't damaged? Is there any way to check it out? Thanks in advance for your help!

abyss kernel cannot use with ics since it is a gingerbread kernel. a ics is required to have a ics kernel for it to work. what can you do is if you have a nandroid backup, just restore it using the abyss or if you are running a stock ics, just find a compatible ver of cfroot ics kernel and flash it via abyss.

First of all, if anything goes wrong, this is your safest way to not cause any additional harm to your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18981227&postcount=4
But since your backup is not working, you don't want to employ this method right now.
So you just follow the advice of janice1234 and find a compatible (with your ICS version) cf-root kernel (v5.6!) here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26746339&postcount=7, copy it to your external sd via anything that lets you access it (e.g. adapter or another phone) and flash the kernel with abyss.
While you're in the dev section you could do some more reading, for example all the information chainfire provides in his cf-root kernel thread...

hi got all u told me just one more thing how to flash wia abyss.....dont know how to ...i know how to flash via cw recovery touch i have it but from theer cf root have .tar file and it cannot be flashed through cw recovery so how to flash cf root from recovery. thas all i need to know.
thanx
You need to download a rom that can be flashed through cwm / abyss red. Try criskelo v7 ics. Download to your pc, copy it to your SD card using SD card reader) then reboot into recovery and flash it. If you have stock ics, I would do the 3 wipes first before flashing the new rom. Make sure you are doing all of this from abyss 4.2 cwm and not ics cwm.

Usually people run into this problem the other way around.
Anyway, once you have downloaded the .zip file there is no need to unzip it, since the .zip is exactly what you need to flash in CWM as it can't handle the bare .tar.

hi guys thanx a lot for your help i got my phone working by flashing cf root ....but i dont know y some how my WIFI is not connecting ...i mean it stucks at obtaining ip address......strange it never happned before...is thr any issue with settings or clashing of drivers or something plz help!!!!
I have read particular threads here in xda note forum... and believe me, I am getting more and more confused on the procedure on how to get back to GINGERBREAD as I read more and more about this stuff... Forgive me, but my mind is only like PENTIUM 4, I dont really understand some High-level procedures...
So here is some details
Reason why to go back to GINGERBREAD:
Because I'm afraid that my Note has suffered "slight" emmc brick. I could not mount /system as R/W on root explorer and File expert or ES file Manager also tried remounting using terminal emulator...
History:
during my CRISKELO V8 days, I have flashed in CWM the "hacked S VOICE" and after reboot, experienced random reboots and FC's. and then it could not read my internal as well as my external memory card, and says i need to reformat it, so i reformat it and everything went well.. but still getting FC's and random reboots however it can now read my internal and external sd card, so to get rid of FC's and randome reboot I flashed Kingdroid v5.1.1 final version and everything went well, smooth and all running except that i noticed that i could not mount my /system as RW so decided to revert back to gingerbread.
Current Phone Info
pda: n7000xxlrg
phone: n7000xxlrb
csc: n7000dbtlrg
ROM: Kingdroid ICS Note Mania v5.1.1 lrg
KERNEL: speedmod-n7000-ics #k3-11
Android version; 4.0.4
Planned Procedure in reverting back to Gingerbread
1. Flashed Abyss kernel 4.2 (the one with touch type CWM) via PC ODin. (may increase flash counter but it doesnt matter)
2. boot in CWM and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
3. Install Gingerbread ROM.zip via CWM (probably Kingdroid gingerbread rom)
4. boot in CWM and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and reboot system
Please tell me if my procedure is correct and please advise me if i am missing something... I desperately need your help here guys... cause i dont wanna cause more trouble to my note as he suffered a lot...
THANK YOU!!!!

SuperSU : Installed correctly but failed to update binaries
Busybox Installer app: Installed correctly but could not install any version of the busybox
Another thing is that i have no space left on my /system it is 100% used?? why is that?
does this means I have partial root??? If thats the case... then what can I do to obtain full root???

It seems like you don’t have full root. Revert back to GB. Root your device. Upgrade it to any ICS version. Remember to do full wipe on safe kernels. Not on stock ICS kernels.

another question... why is my /system 100% used?? Is it because i do not wipe data/factory reset when i install ROMS and so some system files remains in my phone?? it is stated in ROM thread that it is ok to flash their ROM even without wiping.... its really weird...

For the first question . YES it will work for you.
Second after installing Rom you have to do all three Wipes for a clean install. Your system shows full because you didn't perform wipes after flashing

Its too early to come to the point that it is affected or not. First complete the steps. Root it. Then Try again in root explorer.

Hi
I have here a Galaxy Mini running stock Froyo 2.2.1 without an USB-cable.
My goal is to flash CM 9.
I rooted the phone with an update.zip containing Superuser.apk and the su binary. (I needed it for Titanium Backup)
I want to install CWM too but I can not use Odin (no USB cable). I downloaded CWM Touch 5.2.0.8 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439751, named the file update.zip and flashed it with the stock recovery tool. - This seemed to be sucessful.
But now the devie is stuck at the "Samsung" logo everytime I try to boot into recovery. Booting the normal Android works fine.
Is there a way to flash CWM without using Odin now? (probably using linux "dd")
I would like to have CWM before I flash CM9 beacuse I want to create a full backup first.
Edit: Ok...I might have overlooked that this CWM is for Gingerbread.
Thanks
flashing through stock recovery may not work
you have to use odin to flash the recovery
one more thing is that you cannot backup stock rom
you must upgrade to gb to flash cm9 (bootloader incompatibility)

If you try to back up your current ROM app data, then restore it on cm, there'll be bugs potential.
