Hi Guys,
I am a complete noob at technical stuff but I did read a bunch of stickies before deciding to reach out for help. Anyhow I updated my phone about a week ago using Odin and a Samsung International ICS Release (I think it was the Germany One). Anyhow I Used it for a while and noticed there were some glitches, so I decided to go to the -->
[STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1place,Latest ICS LP
Forum to downgrade my phone, everything went smoothy and I downloaded and flashed? the 2.3.6 (Hong Kong January 2012 wipe) version to my phone. However after it loaded for the first time, this morning I kept getting the error the process android.phone has stopped working, android.calander has stopped working, and a few more.
So yes, I am stuck, and I am kind of freaking out. sorry I am such a noob but if anyone can help me it'll be greatly appreciated!!
Did you do full wipe? Or did you wipe cache and dalvik?
Sorry what does that mean? I just flashed from the roms and followed the instructions
I would paste a screenshot to help you out to show you where those settings are, but I don't have a working phone right now. Anyway, those settings should in be in your Recovery under "wipe menu" or something similar. Once you go the menu, you would see "dalvik," "cache," "data," etc. Someone please correct me if I am recalling this wrong.
I would ask you to find "advanced" in the recovery menu and choose "fix permissions" and reboot before you wipe dalvik, cache and data.
Check My Sig!!

Hey, sorry to post here but I'm under 10 posts and the system said to post in the general I9000 Q&A section.
I know the ICS RC4 ROM was pulled and that it had known issues. But while reading people's responses I never came across the problems I was having with RC4.
I flashed it several times and every time I had the same problems on top of the known problems
These are:
- Autorotate didn't work, some menu's were stuck on normal and some on wide.
- Middle home button didn't work anymore
I don't know if these are known as well, but I really love the work XDA developers are doing and I'm hoping that the next ROM will work as good as RC3.1 is working on my phone. I'm loving it guys! Thank you!
RC4 wiped my efs folder as well. Luckily I had a Backup
I've had to flash several ROMs a couple of times... But out of like 6 flashes it only deleted my pictures once!
Though contacts can be backed up with your phone on your external SD card
wipe and again
about the rotation and middle button, I had this problem and all I had to do is to wipe cache+ dalvik+ FS > flash rom again > wipe everything again and it seemed to solve my problem for some reasons.
I am pretty sure you've done it, but if you have not here something for you to try.
since rc4 using dif code then the rc3.1 right? you need to wipe it all and have "a fresh start"
If wiped the data/factory reset and wiped cash at every flash... It didn't help..
Though I went back to RC3.1 and now it works perfectly again!

Hi, first things first. I'm sorry if there is a topic about this ROM already. Can't post in dev-section because i'm a newbie here.
Anyways, for some reason with that ROM my phone says insufficient resources if I try to install android app. I am well aware that you should wipe data, install rom, let it settle and then reboot. After that it should be done but it really doesn't help me any way and the same problem is still there.
If someone has experienced the same problem, could you please give step by step instructions what to delete from CWM (I have deleted data and set to default, cache and the one in advanced options menu.. cant remember what it was). How long do I need to wait for the ROM to settle after installation before I reboot the phone?
Hello.
On Saturday I've updated Android on Galaxy Note from Gingerbread to 4.0.3, which I believe is ICS. The update was done via Settings->About phone->Software update and completed without any errors.
Unfortunately, right after the first boot problems began.
First of all, Android informed me that TWLauncher is not responding and asked if I want to wait for it to stop or force close it (someting like that). I've googled it and found out that I can replace the default laucher with another one. I decided GOLauncher EX is looking nice, so I've installed it and using it now.
Still, once in a while I get a message saying that "Unfortunately, Email has stopped". This freezes the phone for a couple of seconds. The Email application doesn't work and, if started, just shows an animated busy circle for a moment, then a black screen, only to eventually exit to home screen and display the mentioned message. GMail app, on the other hand, works just fine.
Also, sometimes the phone freezes for a moment or displays some gibberish on the screen (the latter happened only once though).
Could anyone please explain me what is happening? Why am I having so many problems after this update and how to fix them? I've read about that brick bug in ICS, but only after I browsed the forums in search for an answer to my problem. Could it be that I'm beginning to suffer it right now?
I'm very confused and unsure what to do next.
I'd really appreciate some advice on this matter.
P.S. Some system info:
Android version: 4.0.3
Baseband version: N7000XLPT
Kernel version: 3.0.15-N7000XXLQ3-CL646962
P.P.S. I wasn't sure if I should be posting this here on in the Android section...
Go to Settings - Backup & reset - Factory Reset. This will wipe off your data on your phone.
This is recommended after you install ICS. Remember to backup your phone before u do the factory reset.
Yours Sincerely

Remember if you factory reset on ics you may brick your phone. You will then need a motherboard change. You should downgrade to gingerbread first then factory reset and then update to ics

downgrade to 2.3.6 using Odin. Do factory reset from stock recovery and upgrade to 4.0.3 via kies or Wifi. After upgrading do wipe cache only, do not factory reset, probably it will brick your note.

wiping cache also not safe on ICS
Just indie said is recommended
First of all, I'd like to thank you all for your interest in my problem.
Please forgive me my questions that will follow, but I'm dilettante when it comes to modern cell phones and I'm overwhelmed by the amount of information, that I have to absorb in order to return the Note to its former state.
After reading your posts guys, I've been browsing the forum for a while in order to find the correct way of downgrading and I've stumbled upon this list:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762080
Is this list safe to follow, without no.5 that is? I've noticed the [Stock ROMs] thread in your signature, dr. Ketan. I believe the ROM I should choose is :
Code:
N7000XXKKA ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000PLSKK1 -----------------Poland (PLUS)
You should downgrade to gingerbread first then factory reset and then update to ics
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But wouldn't it lead to the same problem I'm currently facing? Or should I have had done a factory reset of Gingerbread before updating to Ice Cream Sandwich in the first place?
What eludes me is why Google makes new version of Android available to the public via official channels (Settings->About phone->Software update), without checking first if it won't cause any serious harm to certain product line (Galaxy Note in this particular case).
Also, does anyone know why my Note have downloaded and installed LQ3 instead of LPY (Poland)? Does it matter?
Hi Seniors,
This became like a mystery for me..please help me to solve it.
Issue is like this if I install any custom or stock Gingerbread ROMS by phone works like a butter, no issue at all I can say.
But when I install any ICS or JellyBean ROM's it starts creating pain in my neck.
If I am using my phone it never restarts itself but when I lock my phone screen and keep it my pocket M finding that my phone is restarting into recovery mode itself.
Now here comes the strange part...If I play music using any music player and lock my screen it works fine,its not restarting itself ...but once I stop that music player and lock my handset screen in idle mode it goes to recovery in few secs
This only happens if I upgrade to ICS or JellyBean ROM's
One more issue...my wifi works fine If am having GingerBread install on my phone but when I install ICS/JB I cant even start it.
Have tried a lot to get it fixed....but
.....Even I want to taste ICS/JB Rom's like u guys...Please Help Your Rookie.
Thanks & Regards

Hey EwOkie,
Thanks for your courtesy mate...really appreciate it,
So here we go,
I had stock GB 2.3.6 ROM installed on my phone ;ie GT-I9000_XEU_I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_I9000XXJW4.zip,
after that I rooted my phone using CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS,
then I did factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cashe and installed GamerzRom v11.0 which is a GB ROM,
so far no issue...wifi is working fine,phone is not at all giving me any auto restart issue...its was working like a charm,
then I found ICS_F4k_MOD_v4.0.4_I9000_r3.zip which is an ICS ROM,
I did factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cache,the I installed ICS_F4k_MOD_v4.0.4_I9000_r3.zip using CWM Recovery console,
it was booted fine to home screen...later on I tried connecting my phone using my wifi router I found that WiFi was not switching on at all,
I locked my phone using lock button then after few secs I am finding my phone is restarting itself in recovery mode,
restarted my back to normal and again the same issue,
I ignored it,
Then I downloaded C-RoM Mix v7 Latest 4.2.1.zip in which had a wifi bug fix,
I did factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cache,
I flashed it using clockworkmod recovery and had eactly that same issue which I had on ICS ROM,
for WIFI issue I tried flashing wififix.zip and found no resolution,
my phone went into boot loop of Samsung Logo,
then I flashed it back to original stock rom GB 2.3.6 and my phone started working like the way it should be.
This is the whole story
I moved from GB to ICS and then to JB.
Seriously brother I have no idea why its causing this weird issue...this is why I am looking for help from AndroidXperts on XDA site
Kindly help me to sort it out.
Thanks & Regards

Ok first up thanks for the info....
When doing a complete wipe before installing another rom make sure you wipe all 4 :
Data / Factory Reset
Cache Partition
Dalvik Cache
Battery Stats
Unless the Developer for the Rom States otherwise.
I know that there are a few ICS Roms that have a lot of bugs please check Info on them before Downloading
Should tell you whats working and whats notto save hassle
As I really only use GB Roms (my own preference)
Might help to try different Modems for your Romas this can help signal/network strength, where do you stay?
Yeah flashing back to 2.3.6 will work all the time as its basically stock.
No matter what Custom Rom I try I always flash JVU 2.3.6 then Root it > then the Custom Rom I want
I never just overwrite it with another Rom...
Hopefully someone with the same Rom as yourself may help as I dont want to give wrong info ....
Or Ask on the Rom site the issue your having with it
If you do need my help ... just ask

Hi EwOkie,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I am followed everything what u just mentioned in ur reply allready...but no go
Me & my GF we both have i9000 and I have followed same installation process on both the phones...her phones works like a charm but mine is like an incomplete soul.
One more thing mate,I really dont understand this ......can you tell me what difference it makes to have JVU 2.3.6 or some other version...how exactly its works....u know what I mean to say.
No idea why we use 2.3.6 JVU with CF Root (Kernel for Recovery) we just do ,, suppose its the best to start with before flashing a Custom Rom
So your partners phone works ok and yours doesnt.. did you try using the PIT File and re-partition?
Check my signature at bottom its a HOW TO Guide incase you get lost
As I says I dont have a lot of experience with ICS or JB Roms as the ones i flashed in the past werent as stable and had some bugs in them
Thats why i stuck with GB Roms
plz help me
today i install a custom rom lollipop in sony xperia c3 dual
but now my phone refused to start even same issue recovery mode... now my phone completely death.. when i try to start it red +green blink but fast mode work easily .. & when i connect my phone to charger it restart it self again & again ... its show only sony logo and its restart again ..plz help me
Hey Everyone,
I had recently posted about a holoblur problem but need to expand now:
No matter what rom I install (using philz) I have the same issue of not being able to make a preferred network stick.If I go into *#*#4636#*#*, switch to LTE/GSM/WCDMA then hit the home button it will pop 4g data on and work until I reboot the phone. I'm currently on CM11 the feb 17th nightly build.
I've gone through the beginner guides. I've searched the whole XDA forum extensively and the threads usually just end abruptly with no resolution. I could really use a turn in the right direction on this. Is it a baseband issue? Should I be updating from stock baseband of MB886_BP_100740.071.65.04P? Did I miss an instruction when installing a new rom? (System wipe/factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, format /system, mount system, install rom.) Do I have to have the radio off before changing settings or something? If it's something really stupid, I apologize but I've exhausted my resources here. Even if the answer is "This is something that happens and you just have to live with it" I'd be happy to hear a definitive end. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
Ben
