Only have Download mode. Help! [SOLVED]

My SGS does not boot and does not enter recovery mode. I can enter download mode though. I suspect it happened after I removed some files from SD card.
Can I access SD card in download mode?
How can I use download mode to restore firmware and the recovery?
Thanks in advance.

u have to reflash your firmware. if u get only downloadmode working u can only reflash your device.
try a custom kernel first. if this wont work, then flash new firmware

Strange.from download mode you can only flash firmware.I think u can use adb and connect your phone to computer.try little search on topics don't rush first read carefully.

@malcho
adb wont work in download mode. only in cwm and after successful boot

So I understand I need to connect to PC in download mode and then use some software like ODIN to flash a ROM? Correct?

thats right.
may u can flash via kies, if u want a stock rom from samsung

I didn't know that info about adb.Thanks for info

Well, it's strange but looks better. Even before I did anything with ODIN the phone booted into the new ROM but I still cannot get into recovery. Seems like ROM installation procedure deleted something essential to run the recovery.
So now I have the download mode and Android working.
I am trying not to make any sudden moves so that I won't lose to ability to boot the ROM. What would be the best way to restore ClockworkMod recovery?

What ROM are you running now?
From a running stock-ROM the easiest way is to flash some custom kernel that includes CWM.
Here's a list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966646
For 2.2.1-based ROM I prefer Speedmod.
For 2.3.3-based, choose your own
edit: There are some ROMs/kernels that can only enter recovery when USB-debugging is on.

I've just switched from Darky's 9.2 to PilotX with 2.6.35.7-I9000X[email protected]#Beta4.2_1 kernel.
From what you are saying I understand CWM recovery needs Linux kernel to run. I thought it's a stand alone boot-loader independent from the OS and kernel.

I installed CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS which comes with CWM recovery via ODIN with no effect. I still cannot reach recovery mode.
My phone came with 3e recovery which I downgraded to 2e (I don't remember how I did it then). Is it possible it has something to do with the problem?

You should always flash to stock when you have an issue.
You can also use Darky's resurrection (at least, part A: Pit with re-partition)
Then flash the original firmware (from samfirmware.com)

Thanks to everyone.
The problem was solved using http://www.v00d00.co.il/GBFINAL.pdf guide. Note, this guide is only relevant for Hebrew PilotX ROM.

[Q] Is there anybody who could Answer

I tried each and every thing to get full root but everytime I end up with that fu** partial root. Is there anybody who can guide me. I had tried following things till now :
1. Installed Factory kJ1 via pc odin.
2. Got full root access in KJ1 GB rom (tested by pasting a file in system folder)
3. Rebooted in recovery.
4. Installed Red pill Abyss kernel.
5. Did all the three wipes in red pill mode.
6. Installed Kingdroid Rom and s3 mod patch via red pill abyss.
7. Booted up in Rom and noticed a partial root.
8. Then flashed Chainfire 5.6 kernel via pc odin.
9. Used remove triangle apk ( succeded in removing triangle)
10. But still that partial root.
11. Then tried to flash cwm.zip via "update from sdcard" mode in CWM but failed to do so. It says no update file available.
12. Then installed the same file via "Select zip from sd card".
13. Did succeded in installing by this method then tried to install SU installer but CWM hangs at "unmounting system".
14. And guess what that fu**ing partial root.
I have tried many times the same methods but still no benefit.

I upgraded using Mobile Odin and I have full root.
When MO loads files, replace kernel with CF-Root 5.6 or any other safe kernel.
Hope it helps.

Read this post before you continue.
As CF said Beware: update.zip's can trigger the bug if they use "format" commands!
This kernel is safe to restore backups and to perform wipe data and factory reset but do not use it to flash custom roms.

[Q] How to flash?

Can any kind soul guide me as how to flash CF Root Kernel and CWM using Mobile Odin? Can't seem to find any instructions on it...
Btw the way i'm from Singapore & i'm on stock ICS rooted ROM XLP9. Any benefits from flashing the CF Root Kernel and CWM? Sorry i'm a nood...
& i find that rooted ICS on stock ROM on our Note not very stable. Now sms on driving node not working. It doesn't read out the sender's name or number anymore, but on others like calls & alarm it works. & a lot of apps after restoring using Titanium Backup, they dun work anymore. When u click to open the apps or games, it will hang for a while on a black screen followed by an error message after a while saying "Unfortunately the "name of app or game" has stopped. Then i have to click "ok" to continue... Any one experience all these after update to ICS???
A lot of t imes when i click on an icon to open the apps, it doesn't respond till i waited a while try again then the icon can be clicked to open it... Seems like everyday having new problem with the ICS ROM...

you say that your device is still rooted, so first of all you must buy mobile odin on the play store, then you can download the kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 and flash it with mobile odin

My Kernel version now is 3.0.15-N7000DXLP9-CL551076
How do i go abt flashing it? Read somewhere ICS can't go into recovery mode to flash (Power + home + volume up), will bricked the phone. So dare not anyhow do it... If i flash CF root Kernel, do i nned to delete my already rooted CWM & SuperSu Busybox???

You can flash CF Root with Odin on your pc but that will increase the flash counter and show a yellow triangle when booting. Or as Vampireblood above already stated buy Mobile Odin Pro from the playstore and flash it with that app.

Place the downloaded cf root kernel on you external sd card. Go to MobileOdin and select Open file, select cf root. Tick: EverRoot, Inject superuser, Inject Mobile Odin.
Then flash firmware, select wipe cache.
Done

How do i know i have install CF Root? I follow chainfire's instructions using already rooted.bat to install CF root fpr my LP9 Kernel. But after everything done, i go Setting, About Phone, my Kernel is still the old 1!
Worse is now i wann open CWM, after clicking on it, it opens & hang on a black screen... Mobile Odin Pro when open on screen keeps showing Loading... Checking SuperUser support, & it stays on that screen... Dunno what happen man...
Can i boot my phone into recovery mode & install CWM & SuperSU again?

Rooting failure

Please help,
I was trying to root my Samsung galaxy note gt-i9220, I followed the video instructions from rootgalaxynote.com, I used the CWM.Zip, CWM-supers-v0.87.zip and after I installed the franco kernel-r5.zip
PROBLEM: after installing the franco kernel when I restarted the system my note comes on and shows Galaxy Note GT-I9220 and after that I have a black screen.
What can I do to get back the original state, it seems I can not handle rooting it. However it can get to the download mode when I place the volume up+power+home burton.
NB: I did not use a computer while doing this neither did I backup any thing

What rom where you on before installing the new kernel?

As far as i remember there is no franco kernel for jb 4.1.2. That's why your phone cannot boot.
The worst is flash back a stock rom unless you remember your firmware version then you can flash philz kernel

try flashing any of the JB version of Philz kernel like DDLSC using recovery of franco kernel. You should be able to get into CWM recovery,

I guess ma problems are too many, after downloading philz kernel and transferring it to an external memory card, I cannot get into the recovery mode which I were able to get to 2 days back.
I did not do anything else from the day I was trying to root and things back fired, I thought the battery had been used up but even after charging I get nothing apart from the phone being warm, when I insert the charger all I see is a battery with a circle that flashes and disappears, flashes and disappears.
Any ideas or this marks the end of this gadget

Download mode? If yes then you can flash a rom using Odin or flash Philz kernel also using Odin.. If no.., you may need to try a charged battery.

I guess I have to look for a charged battery, odin cannot read the phone, however I would like to know when I unzip philz kernel folder, there are other files and I understand odin(never used it before) has options like partition,auto reboot, F.time, Boot loader,PDA, phone, csc
I need to know which ones should I select, and if am using PDA which file from extracted philz kernel do I select.

For flashing Philz kernel using odin you need to use .tar file instead of .zip file. Also no need to extract anything from .tar file. Leave everything in odin as it is and put the .tar file in PDA section, if at all odin can detect your phone. remember, this needs to be performed in download mode.

Thanx so much man, thanks a bunch, I can say the phone is up and running, however, everything is in Chinese, I do not Chinese, I cannot tell what the words mean, but all I know the philz kernel procedure using odin has worked.
now I need help to change the language, did I download the wrong kernel,
this is what I used: PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-4.93.6.tar,md5
Another problem I have observed, when you switch on the device it brings a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle

Do you mean everything is in chinese in recovery or it boots up to home screen and there everything is chinese? You can leave the yellow triangle alone, first get it working once it does you can use triangle away app from xda or play store to remove it.

I think the Chinese version didn't have playstore and all. You may need to flash a rom of n7000 to get all the access..

[Q] bricked N7000. how to get working again

I tried upgrading my international N7000 to CM10.3 following the instructions in

but now the phone won't even boot into the recovery, all it shows is
Samsung
GALAXY Note
GT-N7000

When i tried flashin from my Mac iusing Heimdall,
the download finished on the mac, but on the N7000
it still showed the blue line etc. I waited a lng time and tried
rebooting, but got the above.
Re-flashing in Heimdall had no effect.
I then tried flashing
hardcore-speedmod-ics-recovery-n7000.tar
using Odin 3.185 from my VMwars Fusion XP install,
and that seemed to finish ok, but no luck either.
I looked for the latest CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery, but I cannot find any
odin-flashable format for it, and of course I cannot use the sdcard
as I cannot even boot into any recovery as is.
Can anyone suggest next steps?

1st things 1st. Why would u use heimdall or odin? And what is your current ROM before trying to flash CM 10.3, was it stock? You should have looked for CWM recovery or Philz safe kernels as base when doing ROM flashing ESPECIALLY custom roms. From what you said, then can you still boot into download mode? I have no knowledge of heimdall so just download Stock Firmware, flash it with odin and see if you can boot your N7000 first.
The worst case scenarios is you are experiencing emmc bug-brick. go to the thread and read carefully to deduce your type of 'brick' and find solutions there. Good Luck.

I was on a stock 4.0.4 (but rooted). I originally tried flashing the cwm from the sd card, but after starting to load it it also just hung,
so I looked for an alternative..
I found a post on stockroms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997) but the links all point to hotfile.com. which my browser says it cannot find. is hotfile dead? Is there an alternative?

I'm sorry so did u succeed or did you not succeed in installing the custom rom? If your custom rom boots fine then all u need is to search for solving status 7 error thread. My advice to all noobs is to always try n avoid installimg anything except stock rom in odin. Always read and re read before flashing anything that's beyond your knowledge. Basic knowledge of flashing cusroms is :
1. ALWAYS make sure you're on SAFE and COMPATIBLE KERNEL. Most rom threads ALWAYS Include threads/links to a specific recovery/kernel to use. Read n RE READ that.
2. Wipe everything IN RECOVERY mode before flashing a rom.

If you're able to boot up properly n prompted to wipe, then do it. But do it in recovery not on device.

Ok, I downloaded one of the stock kernels for my internatinal N7000, but flashing that with Odin 3.185 hangs about 3/4 through (has now been

Looks like I am screwed?

I f I wanted to try flashing this with Heimdall, I'd need to know partition numbers I think
Where can I get those?
Or should I get another file?

Before that, do u have KIES installed? KIES is NOT compatible with odin and will cause potential trouble. So is some firewall and antivirus apps. You need to disable all of them before using odin. Please search the thread http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for stock rom site.

[email protected] 1 mathias staff 808649674 May 9 10:53 N7000XXLT5_N7000MBCLT1_MBC.zip
[email protected] 1 mathias staff 750466356 May 9 10:50 N7000XXLRL_N7000OXELR5_MBC.zip
but both fail with some (unreadable, apparently character set issue) error under ODIN.
I found this:
http://droidangel.blogspot.sg/2012/01/samsung-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-all.html
which shows how to do a full flash , including PIT file, but the links again go to hotfile which seems to be down.
http://hotfile.com/dl/140099962/b9e0d63/Q1-20110914_16GB.pit.rar.html
Where can I get a) separate
CODE_N7000xxxxx_CLxxxxxxx_REVxx_user_low_ship.tar.md5
MODEM_N7000xxxxxx_REV_00_CLxxxxxx.tar.md5
GT-N7000-CSC-MULTI-xxxxxx.tar.md5
and the PIT file?

Of course you fail... When using ODIN, U should have downloaded the .tar. if you downloaded a zip. then unzip it first to get the tar file, then you flash it with odin. All requests are included in the stock.tar And PLEASE DO NOT Play with PIT files if you don't know what you are doing.
So now what you need to do is. :
1. DISABLE KIES (Uninstall it better), Your firewall, antivirus.
2. Install CORRECT Samsung USB driver. (Search keyword "download samsung N7000 usb drivers")
3. Unzip your zip file and extract the tar.file.
4. Run ODIN as Administrator (Right click/run as)
5. Go to download mode. connect your device to Pc/laptop.
6. Wait until Odin detects your device, click AP/PDA and choose the tar file you extracted.
7. DO NOT tick partition.
8. Let it run

Of course I unzipped the zip to get a SINGLE .tar.md5, but flashing that fails on factoryfs about 3/4 through. consistently.

Try updating your odin. Use the newest vers. And try and read this https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNGd2e3iG5hkDeo0KyAjGuCSfQSLUw . If All fails then it's a confirmed SUPER-BRICK and there's nothing except samsung service centre can help you now... Sorry for not being able to help more..

Thanks. That led me to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656635
where I found the PIT file, but for ROMs pointed to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530501
which again points to hotfile and fileserve.com , which (besides being under maintenance) says
FileServe can only be used to download and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally.
which makes it useless for finding ROMs...
