Hi,
Coming from v2, I've downloaded the new ICS Rocket Rom v3 and followed the instructions. However, i'm experiencing bootloop now. Could i flash with Odin? Are there specific steps i should take?

No idea but FYI thats a unsafe kernel Hope you read the OPs instructions or your likely to end up with a brick.
^^ Copy that. Be very careful now. I guess you should first revert to GB if your recovery is opening and you have all the pre requisites. Once upon a time , when I used to be in the Touchwiz craze I faced something like this while installing RocketROM. I reverted back to GB n went ahead again. and it worked fine. But refer to your OP that what he has to say about it. GB revert is the last option which you can safely end up with.
I couldnt check with OP since i cannot post in his thread.
Anyhow, the phone boot loops and i cant get into CWM recovery by press Vol Down, Home and Power - that would bring me to download mode. However, i don't know the exact steps to take from there and need some advice to prevent being a bricked note statistics.

If you can get into download mode, then I suppose the safest way is to flash through PC Odin any of the already-rooted or directly-rootable ROMs in dr Ketan's post.
GO HERE
That's what I'd do, but do hold on for a second opinion.

Maybe i read your post wrong but from what i gather you say you cant get into CWM by pressing vol down home key and power button? if i read that right then the reason you cant get into it and its bringing you to download mode is because CWR is, Vol up Home key and power button,
Vol up= CWM
Vol down= Download
So, I've managed to restore my phone to Rocket V2. But, there are problems which still exists. Firstly, i couldnt install (or rather, it installed, but wasn't shown) the RR2 theme. Further, i read in the thread that some people had luck with Abyss 3.9 or lower, but after flashing 4.2 and V2, it is impossible for me to install 3.9.
Is there some writing problem that i'm seeing?

Check if you still have full root. Try to paste a file into the system folder.
Nope, tried to create a folder using Root Browser but wouldnt allow me to do so. I selected SSU and states the SUBinary unable to update. I, however, am able to restore apps from TB

Hi all,
Tried to flash ICS 4.0.3. Had flashed CM7 and it was working fine but the flash was purely so I could put ICS on, installed the zip through CWM but now it is bootlooping. I see the Galaxy S original bootscreen then what I am presuming is the custom ICS bootscreen then alot of CWM text with the android robot then the android robot dead with a phone through his chest
I have tried removing the battery a couple of times.
I am a bit of a newbie so any help is much appreciated
What shouls I do?
BTW I can get to download mode so flashing through odin is always a last resort but if ICS is redeemable then thats much preferred!
Josh, you didn't listen to my advice on your last post did you?????
I'm too drunk now, hopefully someone will be able to help you.
However if I were you, I'd pull the battery, get back into recovery, flash ics again and then it should boot fine. This has happened every time I have flashed ics and is well documented in the threads.
And next time read up some more before flashing.

Could not figure out how to get back into recovery mode and I needed a quick fix so I reflashed Darky via Odin as I had the files handy, I may try ICS again another time.
Thanks anyway.

When your phone is Boot looping like that, just press and hold Vol up + Home + power for about 10 seconds. The phone will then restart into Recovery. From there reflash the ICS build again.
Have been told on another forum that it is fine to go straight from any GB rom to ICS simply by flashing the kernel then the rom then again the kernel. So I could therefore go straight from 10.2 RE to ICS?
Is this true as it seems to contradict the guide in OneCosmic's post?
Whatever Rom I flash, I always follow that particular Dev's instructions. That way you avoid Boot Loops or Force Close errors!
How long should the initial boot of ICS take? Successfully flashed it (I think) but it seems to be on the fancy moving panel bootscreen thing for quite a long time. Is this normal?
Edit: Up and running, thanks to everyone who helped
Could not download from the market so I read around and noticed it was a common problem and that you neede to wipe data/factory reset now I am stuck in a bootloop and cannot get into recovery mode is there an exact way to press and release the buttons or is it a case of: take out battery, vol up home and power and just hold?
Hi Folks
I am trying to solve the problem of my Note going into a bootloop after a Rocket Rom install. Not sure what caused it, perhaps i didnt freeze the WiFi well enough?
So here is the scenario:
Rooted and working Galaxy note with CWM installed. Current rom was backed up. Zip of Rocket Rom was placed in the sdcard folder on the phone and the phone was then rebooted into CWM Recovery mode. The "install zip from SD card" is selected and the process ran and completed with no errors.
Now, as the Note restarts, it goes into the bootloop at the Rocket Rom loading screen.
I searched for possible answers on this forum as well as other Android forums but could not find a relevant solution for the note. Other phones solutions did not work...
So now i am trying to restore the phone back to stock from backup or another rom by holding Vol+Power+Home buttons. However, this does not get me to the regular CWM scroll screen with options! It takes me to ODIN Mode big green android logo with "Downloading... Do not turn off target" under it instead... So i cant re-flash it via CWM?
Using ODIN on my PC - dont know what files to select for BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE, CSC... Not sure if this is the best solution either.
How can i recover my device? Thank you in advance!
I was in the same condition because installed 19_1 without 19. I flashed an older rootable stock rom with odin via PC, rooted it and installed CWM, then installed 19 and 19_1 afterwards.
Select PDA and then the .tar file. It would do. Here is a tutorial, it is the same for SGN:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEjTaFg_2Ks
Thank you i am going to try that! I actually went with v19, didnt do 19.1
Keep in mind CWM recovery is VOL UP,MENU,POWER NOT VOL DOWN.
Got me out of the same situation last night where it would only go into ODIN mode and nearly gave me a heart attack
Thank you!! I actually just figured that out a few minutes ago myself, after pressing the buttons and rebooting a bunch of times all of a sudden i booted into the CWM menu... Must have pressed the Volume UP by accident I tagged this post - might be a good tip for someone running into the same issue and doing a search on here. Such as simple solution, but if you dont know it - can be very frustrating
So the issue is solved - was able to wipe all and re-flash with Rocket v19. Now on to sync all accounts and restore all apps with Titanium back up Pro. Thanks again folks good of you to jump in and help me out.

just on that...do you reboot the phone inbetween the 19 and 19.1 or do you just choose to install 19.1 zip straight after installing 19 without rebooting the phone

From viny2cool:
1. remove the usb cable, battery, sdcard, SIM.
2. wait 10 seconds, then insert the USB cable.
3. press and hold the 3 button combo while you insert the battery
4. continue to hold until phone's screen goes black twice and release power button.
5. timing is critical, it may not work the first time. Keep going until you see the COM port is connected properly.
I flash using Odin and my Note back to Life x_x
Rocket v21
Flashed couple of times exactly the way Rocket install procedure, Note goes into bootloop. Finally have to do Stock flash.Its the worst ROM I have come across for all those Android phones I used with.
I find my newly purchased tab 8.9 very laggy with the stock TouchWiz
Before returning it I wanted ti try the Overcome rom to see if it can get any smoother.
I carefully followed there instructions but I am unable to go past the downloading droid. once I validate with the right button volume, the tablet simply reboots.
Does anyone else have this issue?

Let me get this right: you sucessfully flashed Overcome, and want to ODIN but when you try to get in Download Mode, it reboots, is that it? If so, that's the first time I've heard this issue. How are you trying to enter Download Mode?

I see. The Overcome thread also has the CWM Recovery as a .zip file which is flashable through Stock Recovery (same procedure as flashing Root). You just put the file in your internal SDcard and flash away. If you still have doubts, read a little bit here, as I'm sure that will clear any doubts you might have.

Don't expect perfection from a port, ever (port = a ROM that's not native to the device). The motley kernel, along with UV can help you in the battery department.

Sorry to comeback to it but after having flashed a couple or ROM with CWM I want to come back to the stock rom using ODIN and I cannot enter the dowload menu.
My system right now is a stock ROM us retail P7310UEKHA flashed with CWM and CWM and I want to install a 3.2 stock ROM using ODIN.
The way I try to access the download menu is
1. Turn off the tab
2. wait 30 sec
3. restart with the down volume pressed
4. when the reaching the menu between recovery and dowloading. Select dowloading with the down volume button and validate with the up volume button.
Result: a black screen for 3 seconds and then the tab reboots

Still no luck...
So I have tried reflashing the stock US retail ROM and ran the EULA3 OTA update over it. I can't seem to figure this out.
The OTA update entered the download mode for a few seconds during the update so I am wondering if I don't simply have a locked bootloader.

yes it does enter what i presume to be download mode (up to continue, down to restart)
Boot into download mode and flash a stock rom via Odin then start over your not bricked don't worry
After you do the stock ROM via Odin and let it settle, you can try the ICS repack again. Someone here can help you, but theres already good threads out there for step by step.
One thing I can say since you asked what not to do again is use PC Odin instead of Mobile Odin. Yes, you will get a triangle but you can use triangle away to get rid of it, if you wish. I personally sport the triangle on my phone
Yeah, your phone is not bricked, no worries.
Here's a thread that will help you, make sure to get correct files and flash to stock using PC Odin:

Try long pressing power button and rebooting, if not downloading mode is your way, (do you have ICS rom zip into SD Card?), you will need it to flash it, goes to development threads and you can find it, you can choose one of them, actually I´m on Criskelo V2 LPC6 its good for dayly use its full working, when you got it press at same time Vol +/power button/home and enter in Clockwork mode goes to install zip from sd card, choose from sd card and ICS zip, back to menu wipe data, wipe cache, goes to advanced and wipe dalvick cache, reboot system now and follow steps introducing gmail account and its all enjoy yor NOTE with ICS.
I have been searching for a solution, but haven't found any..
I flashed to kingdroid rom a while ago from stock GB with abyss kernel. Everything went fine, and later wanted to try a new rom.
So I wiped the data and factory reset in CWM and tried to restore the old stock GB. I don't know if anything went wrong in that process, but now I can't even turn on the phone? I can't boot up CWM either?

Can you enter download mode??If so flash any GB rom.If the flash is getting stuck at factoryfs or somewhere for long than 15 mins..you have superbricked your phone by doing a wipe.Only way is to replace the mobo or trying this
yeah go on download mode. Use odin pc. It will raise the counter, but its much better than a brick note.. Hehe
Download mode is volume down, home key and turn on key right?
Doesnt work.. how long is I supposed to hold it in?
And what is a MOBO?

The First Thing you did was right, since you did the wipe using the AbyssKernel kernel, witch was safe and away from the HardBrick Thing around the Stock ICS Kernel.
But what you did wrong, is that you did wipe and restore using the Kernel inside the rom you used, wich of course was in cause !!!! so Here is what you will do, just Follow the Steps in My following Post, and you are done

Sorry for not being that bright in all this.. But how can I do all the instructions when I can't turn the phone on? I can't find the sdcards on my computer either when i connect the phone to the computer
Sounds like you have a big paperweight. You need to somehow get it to a Samsung repair center to get the motherboard replaced. There's a thread in the General section that MIGHT help revive it, but no guarantees.
Always make sure you read, read, read before you flash anything. Like other people said, the restore is what bricked it.

Check battery. make sure it still has power. Pull out and leave out 5 minutes and replace it back as well.
Then turn it on and try to enter download mode (Home volume-down and power) and connect it to PC odin (even in case the screen does not turn on) and see the yellow box is there. If there is, you can flash kernel that has CWM as well, and there is hope to revive it.
If you cannot get odin to see it, then SS service is the only way.

Well Of course, If your phone is not ON, it won't show any usb storage on the PC.
Don't Give up Yet !!!
Are you sure your phone has enough battery charge,
Not Sure? well Do this :
- Keep your phone under AC Battery Charger (no USB charging) for at least 45 min.
- Take Off the Battery for at least 10s seconde,
put it back, Then try to to enter to download mode directly : Vol down + Power + Home Button at the same time untill you see the Yellow Dowload Logo, Don't Try to turn your phone on by Pressing the power Button as Normally, It Simply won't turn on !!
Keep taking the Battery Off and Back untill it works, believe me this happened before.

Want to post fast how i brickt my phone with ics and kernel problems and wipe going wrong.
Cwm still working but nothing is going anymore.
In cwm flash a franco kernel (i used Franco kernel 10 because had it on my sd card) then reboot into recovery and flash the Abys kernel.
Reboot into recovery and install your rom or restore an backup you made.
I hope sthis works for all.
