Hi everyone
I am new to Android. I upgraded my galaxy note GT N7000 to the official ICS German version. everything went smooth but then the battery consumption was terrible. I tried Franco kernel #3 and it didn't help so i restored the other kernel using CWM. everything is fine now but i heard about the risk of phone brick. I want to go back to GB but all the methods i reviewed involve wiping data which is the risky step that might hard brick the phone. Any suggestions? ?
Thank you and forgive my humble English

afaik there is no way to downgrade (officially) without wiping everything :/
flash via cwm the abyss kernel, reboot in recovery through this kernel
Wipe & reflash from abyss a GB rom
I did a CMW backup before flashed to German ICS. After that find out that the ori ics is not really fast and stable, so I restore back to GB through CMW..

probably I will try that. I was decided to keep the ICS till a solution for the brick comes up but this afternoon the phone screen started to go blank and display like old tv so it seems I have to go back to GB.
Another question please : Is there a risk that the phone will "auto-brick" by itself if I just keep the current ICS without making any changes or the brick happens only while installing or changing something??
Apologies, but since I am a new user, I was not allowed to post in the thread in developer section.
I had bought a pre owned phone, on Rocket ROM (GB based), however as S-Pen apps were not working I decided to go on the stock ICS rooted way.
I followed the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I had downloaded the stock INdian ROM
N7000XXKK3 ------ 2.3.5 2011 November------ N7000ODDKK1 ------------------------India -------------------------Download

I followed the steps, downloaded Odin, and put the TAR file in PDA section, and flashed. All goes fine without error, on the phone it says everything is installed successfully. However after the process the phone just keeps restarting after the Samsung logo.
Have I done anything wrong here? How do I rectify the mistake and get my phone working
Did you clear cache/dalvik or do a wipe in recovery menu ? Looks like it's stuck because of leftover data from previous rom

Umm, pardon my ignorance as I am migrating from an ancient Nokia device.
No, I had done no such thing, no backups too as I just had it for a few days and no data so to speak of.
Should I be doing a wipe in recovery menu? And doesn't flashing the device, formats the memory too?
I think it should, but for some reasons it does not. To get rid of boot loop, go into recovery and clear cache. Should boot properly then
Also, avoid doing a factory reset on stock ics. If clearing cache wont help, i'd suggest flashing gb stock rom, doing a wipe and then upgrading to ics as wiping under ics has caused people a lot of troubles.
Yes you should do a wipe of cache memory and dalvik cache. That is availible from recovery menu. And no they arent allways formatted when flashing a new rom.
To go into recovery, do this.
Device off > vol-up+home+power. And now you are in recovery mode.
Also, avoid doing a factory reset on stock ics. If clearing cache wont help, i'd suggest flashing gb stock rom, doing a wipe and then upgrading to ics as wiping under ics has caused people a lot of troubles.

Thanks, I had read up how much ever I could, and am pretty wary of the emmc bug. Thats the reason I am flashing to a GB based stock rom, and then the ICS stock rom.
The error I got earlier is by flashing to a Indian GB Stock ROM, should I yet clear cache memory in the recovery mode?
A little bit of googling tells me I should be flashing to a ROM with multiple files (different ones for PDA, Modem, CSC etc) hence I am also downloading the stock Europe based ROM. Now the query is would the stock Europe GB ROM, cause any issues to a Note bought in India?
Edit: I wiped the cache partition in recovery mode, but the bootloop persists. I will try flashing to the Europe GB ROM and update.
Thanks, folks was able to install the Europe stock GB ROM, which I later flashed to an Indian stock ICS ROM. I have rooted the phone by a very helpful guide by Dr Ketan, however I miss some of the functions available to me on the rocket GB based ROM. Especially an option to have a data on/off option in quick notifications.
What is the purpose of rooting the stock ROM? Can I delete the bloatware that comes pre-installed on the stock ROM, once the phone is rooted? If yes how?
Any safe custom ICS ROM's you guys recommend? If I am right the correct way right now seems to be to flash a safe GB based ROM everytime before you flash an ICS ROM? Correct?
Last but not the least, thanks to the folks who replied and guided me in the thread, XDA is a very resourceful place, if you search it thoroughly.
About notification toggles - they are available in some roms, in others - not.
As far as rooting is concerned - yes, you can delete almost all the bloatware. There is a thread with APKs that are safe to remove - check it out and feel free to delete everything you won't be using. How ? Simple file explorer with root capabilities will do. Here's the list, thanks to pulser_g2:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
Safe custom ICS ROMs - I'd say go for CM9. For me, AOSP is the only way to go with Android. If you want TouchWiz based roms, however, can't really help cause i've never used them - there are plenty in development section though.
Nope, you don't need to flash GB ROM everytime. The problem with wipe affects only stock ICS roms ( so with stock-kernel based roms from Samsung, yeah, that's recommended ). But if you're going to flash/change/update roms like CM9, Criskelo etc. there is no need to go back to GB everytime.
Hi i was on ICS stunner and flash via PC Odin Stock GB rom.
everything goes ok but now i'm stuck on Samsung logo (bootloop)

Download abyss from the following site:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar
Flash the file with PC odin then reboot into abyss recovery. You can then do the wipe.

Were you rooted on the base Android ROM? Was it GB? Whatever it was, first flash a standard GB using PC ODIN and then root it and then try a new ROM. You can get stock GB ROMs here

I am having a similar problem, but instead of getting stuck on boot screen my mobile goes back in CWM. I am trying to install LiquidSmooth 3.2 and am currently on Criskelo 5.1....when I tried to go from Criskelo 5.1 to 8, the phone got stuck on the boot screen. (Used Abyss Kernel to flash)

Flash stock GingerBread rom from PC odin and root it . Else you can flash pre rooted GB roms like Checkrom, rocketrom etc etc etc from the whichever ICS rom you are currenntly on .This is how I flash Gingerbread rom from EMMC bug infected ICS rom , flash abyss kernel 3.9 and the reboot recovery into abyss kernel 3.9 and then wipe data , cache and dalvik cache and then flash CheckRom Revo HD V6 and reboot your phone.
Once your phone is successfully running GB rom with proper root and clockworkmod recovery , go to clockworkmod recovery and wipe data , cache , dalvik cache and flash paranoid android directly ( dont flash abyss kernel or any other kernel , GB rom with CF root kernel or whichever kernel the pre-rooted GB roms like checkrom and rocketrom come with ) , and finally after flashing wipe data , cache and dalvik cache . You will boot paranoid android properly .
I dont want you to brick your phone , so explained the whole process from gingerbread rom installation

Really Thank You for your detailed Reply, But as you said I wastrying this all from STOCK GB Rom only which i rooted, But in paranoid one of senier member told me that, as i used darkside scripts and which are not made for Note, So I have screwed my partitions, and may be i will need to repartition with four filed STOCK ROM. because now the problem is even critical, when i flash, it stucks at SAmsung Note GT-N7000.
So really need to solve this issue 1st, so starting new thread now, for flashing Stock Rom with odin for repartition.

Thanx Friend,
I have flashed b4 from stock ICS kernal to Anidroid ROM, but now that is not the real problem, now i am on stock GB Rom, which i have installed via Odin, Kindly check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783625 this thread which i have just started, i hope you will understand my problem by looking to this thread, also as i am on GB kernal right now, without rooted, so still i dont need to afraid of EMMC brick bug (I assume it is problem with stock ICS kernals.).
And I had screwed my galaxy bote and had hard bricked my phone , it was gone mate , my phone had almost seem its last days , but i did save it and gave it a new life . Well here is what happened ( again in detail ) - I was KingDroid V2 rom , even when i knew all the ics roms at that time had emmc brick bug , I was fool enough to do a data wipe :crying: , and **** !!!! my phone did boot any rom , i was not even able to flash any rom , not even stock unrooted samsung roms via pc odin . I couldnt even get my phone into recovery mode !!!!!! The only thing that was working on my phone was the download mode !! Thank god !!!!:fingers-crossed: . I tried to re-partition using the original 16GB pit file( as i have 16GB Galaxy note N7000 ) but it was in vain. And then I read some post in XDA developers which mentioned how to RE-ARRANGE the partition.
[ Well I think you don't know what happens when you do a data wipe with emmc bug infected kernel ???? Right ? well here goes an explaination fro that , (i love explaining things to others :cyclops In simple words when you do a data wipe on an EMMC bug infected kernel a part of your internal SD card gets infected , I mean it becomes non-functional , it doesn't respond to read /write commands issued over that sector of internal SD ]
so out of my 16GB internal memory , memory sectors from 1049MB to 2200MB had got corrupted( found it by trial and error method ) , i couldn't use them anymore , so using the adb from the android platform tools , I edited the partitions and shifted the partition corresponding to 1049 MB to 2200MB, and then flashed abyss note kernel and then checkrom revo HD :fingers-crossed: . Viola my phone booted , I had got over the hard brick , but my internal storage had reduced to 10 Gb instead of 11 Gb due to unresponsive sectors in internal memory !!!
Next i did a reset of the flash counter and removed the yellow triangle and flashed the stock gingerbread rom (Indian version , where I am from ) via pc odin and it got stucj at FactoryFS stage , as expected !!!! . Next I handed it to Samsung service center and just told them that i was trying to update to ICS via kies and it got stuck . After few days they replaced my phone's motherboard for free :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
My friend i think your prob started while flashing paranoid rom u said that after flashing rom u made a full wipe... so i think u lost your root... just an idea
İf u can find a prerooted gb rom or u can root your gb rom u can flash paranoid rom

Hi,
I think I bricked my phone very well. I used Odin to put some GB Kernel in order to be able to upgrade to JB. Later I got into recovery mode and cleaned cache and many other things, but was unable to wipe data\factory reset, from there it all went down. I tried fixing it using this guide, but it didn't help. I still can get into download mode, though. And sometimes even into recovery, but it gives me tones of errors.
What can I do? How do I fix it now???
Thanks in advance!
Fix:
Try to flash a stock GB rom with Odin.
Kernel/ Upgrade to JB
After that flash a rooted kernel. Try CF-Root or Semaphore Kernel.

Hi,
got one problem. hope im typing in right section.
Flashed my I9000 to 2.3.6 JVU plus CF-Root. Minutes later ive tried to flash Gamerzrom via CWM.
(done a full wipe / factory reset, wiped caches etc.).
After that Phone reboots and is stuck in a bootloop containing the Semaphore screen and i cannot
enter CWM again. I have to reinstall stock rom first and then root it again.
Dunno what im doing wrong at that point; am i using wrong kernel?
thanks in advance
that gamerzrom...2.3 or 4.2?
if u wanna flash to 4.x, need to flash cm9 first.flash twice, from 2.3 to cm9 to cm10.dont do shortcut please...
cm9 need to flash twice, bootloop will occur on first flash,use 3 button combo to go back to recovery,its da matter of releasing da 3 button,release it rite after u see da white sgs,if still cant, flash back firmware n redo step.
after flashing cm9, do not reboot,flash cm10 or gamerzrom,first flash will error,flash it back again n then reboot, do wipe everything except sd when in 2.3, and please...read first before asking
HI all,
Today I decide to update my i9305t to the 4.3 rom. I unrooted my phone and reset the custom counter and all was good. I flashed the telstra rom and all was good. Because of the locked dock Icons I thought I would flash a different unbranded rom. During the installation (via odin) it went skew if and froze. It sat there for ages but I ended up having to do a battery pull.
When I went to the download menu on the phone, knox had been tripped and there was 47 instances. Any way I reflashed the telstra firmware. It passed but now the phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo.
OK now I have already.....
Pulled the battery.
Removed all cards sim and sd.
Restored different firmwares.
factory reset, clear cahce etc.
Installed custom recovery and cleared devalk cache.
Googled for similar events.
Nothing I have read has worked.
I cant think of what else to do. When I restore a firmware via odin everything is OK, it passes but on the reboot it just stops at Samsung logo and goes no further.
I gather that because the phone can still get into recovery and download mode there must be something can sort this out.
Thanks in advance.
flash the original firmware from samsung.....the 4.3 since you updated it...
after it finishes and reboots it will enter a boot loop....IT'S NORMAL.....pull out the battery and start the phone in recovery mode(stock one) and do a wipe data - factory reset and wipe cache partition...it should work without a problem...did this many times...
after you updated to 4.3 you should have done a full wipe...

Yeah I have done that. I have tried it about 10 times. Im going to give it another bash today as I am stuck using my wife's old Iphone and its horrendous.
try installing your firmware with a .PIT file and check repartition box...search for the pit file....
if this doesn't work i suggest going to local repair shop and let them have a look...
maybe something got broke when you flashed the unbranded firmware...

Well I was in the same pickle
whicever 4.3 rom i flashed through odin i got stuck in boot logo or even if i recovered device from odin through emergency frimware and intillation
Also tried customs 4.3 roms stuck a boot logo
Here what u should try and what i did
1 flash philz recovery + 4.1.2 rom
if it works back up efs
2 Using Philz recovery wipe data factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache
3 in mount and storage section format everything ( THINK THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP )
4 Used odin to flash a 4.3 stock package it worked ( note u may get knox from this u may try a modifed stock package if u dont have knox and dont want to get it )

Knox was tripped when the firmware install crashed. So knox tripping is no issue. Thanks for the information. I will have a go tommorrow.
I did manage to restore a cm9 backup but my IMEI is now gone and I cant get to the menu to restore my back up. Seems like Samsung has done a number on my phone. In all the years ive been fingering phones with custom firmware and modding I have never had anything stuff up this bad. Its rather amusing that it has happened flashing a stock rom that belongs to my phone.

Thanks in advance.

It happened to me once, i found that 4.3 won't boot if baseband and imei are unknown. when you were trying to flash with odin and your phone got stuck it probably has damaged or ( erased ) your imei partition. try flashing 4.1.1 ( the package file without bootloader files ) it will definitely work for you. the reason is simple , Samsung's stock 4.3 never boots if the imei is corrupt or unknown (baseband is then usually too ) so, flash 4.1.1 , root your phone and install Persus kernel +any modem / baseband file, this is the only solution as i dont know how but does repair your imei , but you will be stuck at 4.1.1.
