hello, I installed [ROM][ICS] KingDroid ICS NoteMania Edition v2.0 and it worked, then I did a nandroid backup and after I installed the S3 optional MOD.
The phone worked fine for some days, then I wanted to delete the S3 MOD so I did a nandroid restore from the previous backup, something went wrong during restoring. So I tried to flash the ROM again from SDcard, I did a dalvik cache wipe and a cache wipe and after I tried to reflash the kingdroid rom from recovery, it flashed the kernel and hung during MODEM flashing.
Now when I turn on the phone it hangs on galaxy note logo.
How can I solve this situation? Go back to GB? How? PC ODIN?
Thanks
Please read the thread before doing anything. NEVER EVER RESTORE A NANDROID BACKUP FROM ICS KERNELS. I think you just did that and now you are a part of Superbrick family. I think just read threads about how to revive your bricked note and follow the procedure or Samsung service is the only way out
Check if your phone enters download mode ( power+home+volume down ). If so - you're not bricked and can flash GB stock rom with ODIN.

It enters in download mode after warning me about the danger of flashign a custom os. So I canm proceed to flash a stock GB rom? N7000XILB1 ?
As you said your phone hangs on Samsung screen. When this thing happened first time with me i was too scared.
Dont panic. So you can go to download/Recovery mode. Flash a stok GB ROM. It worked for me. Dont worry about warning.
See Dr. Ketan's Thread for step by step guide. Carefully follow his instructions.
Best of luck..

Do I need to replace the pit first? I think the kingdroid rom replaced the pit and created new different partitions, so if I put the stock rom won't it need the original pit? I'm lost on that.
..To be honest I go back and forth from GB to ICS to CM9 without any problems (maybe I'm one of the lucky guy and maybe at certain point I will brick as well!)...BUT what I do (when from ICS I move to GB) is to pass ALWAYS through AbyssNote Kernel 4.2.
So hoping you have a GB previous nandroid backup AND you can still enter in recovery modified mode, I would suggest the following steps
1. enter in recovery mode
2. flash the Abyss Kernel by choosing the zip
3. WITHOUT reboot the phone > go Advanced
4. re-boot recovery
5. once in Abyss kernel> factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
6. restore
7. choose GB backup
8. start restoring
Before learning about Abyss, I had very similar soft-brick like your one....but I easly managed it with the above method
Hope it helps
so, it was not super bricked. I flashed the pit and then Gb without any problem. now it's working.
Good deal, just make sure you read the stickies next time and don't restore nandroid backups in CWM (Use abyss kernel).
There's plenty of safe kernels now that have disabled the brick bug as a workaround though. If you want stock ICS, flash Franco or Speedmod kernels. If you want a CM9 rom, there's plenty of variations. There's also an aokp rom.

i have a problem with my galaxy note, i was using isc stunner rom and everything was working fine. My battery got drained and the powered off, so i charged it and turned it on , the phone got stuck on the bootscreen. It does not boot up, so i tried to reflash the same rom but didnt work, i wiped my memory card but no luck. Now whenever i try to flash a rom cwm gets stuck on installing update. Please help me and reply asap!
go to download mode and flash a stock kernel. search in this forum how to do that.
Take out the external SD card
download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your external SD Card
Also download the Rom you want to install and put it on your external SD card.
reboot to CWMR
go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery
factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
flash the Rom of your choice
I tried to flash abyssnote kernel but when i flash it the installation is stuck on 'Installing update' and it just stays there and never progresses in any way.
so yeah whenever i flash the kernel im stuck on 'installing update'
any fix for this bros?
You lost root mate..
There is a thread with "Stock Prerooted GB ROMs", go there and download any one and flash it using PC Odin..if flashing with PC Odin succeded but yo0 still get bootloop reboot to recovery and do a factory reset/data wipe, it'll boot without issues
Then go to Chainfire's thread and get the CF Root kernel for the ROM you just flashed, because the prerooted ROMs don't have CWM recovery..fladh that kernel using "already rooted.bat" method described in post #2 in Chainfire's thread..
You'll end up with stock rooted GB and CWM recovery..from there you choose what you eant to do
probably best starting from scratch again and installing a gb from via odin

I have a similar problem. After installing Stunner ROM on my note, it work for a bit, but then I don't remember what I did, it is now stuck on boot screen. I can't do anything except boot into recovery.
Did I lose root? How exactly can I fix it. I read the post you referred to, but I can't do anything when I execute Odin with my Gnote N7000 connected to my PC. Can you tell me how exactly I have to do? Please provide the exact link for any software I need to download.
Please reply ASAP,
Appreciated.
You have to be in downloadmode to b able to work with PC Odin
( Device off ->Volume down + Home + Power.)
same here but when factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Thank you! Yes now I have communication to the phone using Odin! ) But I 'm still trying to figure out what exactly I need to do to get back on stock GB and then go from there (ie. what file(s) I need to flash back to stock GB. My original GB version was 2.3.6). If you know, could you please provide me the link(s) to download those files. I did tried "wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache" in recovery as the other gentleman suggested but did not work. So I guess I do need to flash back to GB .
Thanks a million

I was in a boot loop recently. I just flashed a stock GB rom via PC Odin, and reset to factory/wipe cache in stock recovery. Booted up after that. Important part is get GB on there and do the resets. Then you can worry about root, etc.

Oh thanks! Can you provide a link where can I find the stock GB rom for my note. I have the Gt-N7000 model and my original GB version was 2.3.6. This is all I remember - can't remember what kernel, baseband etc.
You can flash any stock GB rom you want. Just choose one from dr.ketans thread in development section

Thank you so much!, bro. Now that I 'm clear I just picked a rom from 'bodivas's post' and re-flashed it back to stock and everything works like a champ now! Just didn't know i could have used any of those - thought I had to match exactly the specific versions of kernel/baseband/country etc. etc.. hahaha.... Next I 'll work on the ICS again. And thanks & credit for everyone who have helped.
Hi!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 which is stuck in a bootloop from 2 days already and i cant do anything to stop it. I was on stock ICS LP8 and I wanted to flash Paranoid Android ROM. So first I had to downgrade to GB and I did that by flashing a stock GB ROM from Dr Ketans thread via ODIN PC. When the flashing was done it just got stuck in bootloop at the "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N700" screen. I have flashed different Stock GB ROMS such as KL3 or KK1 but the bootloop still presists. I have wiped cache and dalvik cache like a million times now but nothing changes. I have also done a wipe factory reset and that didnt change anything. I am able to get into download and CWM recovery mode. I have a few nandroid backups but when I try to restore it just says MD5 Mismatch! Right now i am on stock ICS LP8. Is there anything I can do to stop this bootloop?
Please help! Much appreciated.
Seems like a bad flash. Happens sometimes.
Download your stock GB ROM again - go to download mode and flash it via ODIN once again. After flashing, boot into recovery and wipe user data and cache.

Try the following procedure:
Download abyss kernel from:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar
Use PC odin to flash this kernel then boot into recovery mode of abyss. You can then do a full wipe and try to flash a rooted GB rom.
No Luck
Tried both methods but nothing seemed to change, its still in a bootloop. :-(
Anyway, thanks for the help!

Hey,
I recently bought SGN and wanted to update to Kingdroid's custom ROM and so i did !.
My SGN was on Ginger bread 2.3.6,what i did was,
1.Root Note(ginger bread with Odin by following Dr.Ketan's guide)
P.S-i did the exact same thing as he mentioned in his guide.
2.Installed later CWM on recovery mode
3.Installed Abbys kernel..(rebooted to recovery later)
a.clear userdata/factory reset.
b.wipe cache
4.Installed Notemania v5.0
Now,the problem is,first time the installation process completed,BUT it did not install the complete thing i.e CAMERA icon was missing,Touchwiz5,and many more apps were missing.
So later i decided to overwrite by reinstalling the mod again.
1.i booted into recovery mode
2.WIPE DATA,CACHE
3.selected install zip from sdcard/notemania v5.0
after selecting install,the installer stopped its progression @ 80%(mounting system ,rootfs) and lagged for almost an hour,i rebooted into recovery mode and rebooted device and it booted,,BUT the installation dint not reach 100%.
STILL camera app was missing and many more.
ive tried installing/overwriting many times(like 10).. its stuck up @ 80%.. i even tried Notemania 4,4..no use, lags @ 80%.
How do i finish the installation and install the COMPLETE ROM PACKAGE(with camera app)?>>>>
Requesting help!! Sorry my first android,so Noob

i have a question
1.How can i get back to Unrooted stock ICS rom now?
To go back to stock unrooted ICS, you can flash stock ICS via PC Odin. Since you already know how to safely wipe using Abyss, you can do full wipe in Abyss before putting your phone into download mode and use PC Odin.

I tried various versions of the ROM, but this is the mentioning of the most versatile and best. We recommend warmly.

Yes, that's the recommended steps to safely and cleanly install stock ICS.
Just remember that full wipe in stock ICS is dangerous.

Reading the sticky threads with the warnings and tutorials might be the real "ToDo" (if you didn't do this before).
In posts like these here you only get short answers. They include the risk that you do not really understand what the poster meant.
There have been many posts here from members bricking their devices because they didn't invest a little bit time in reading.
I 'invest' a little bit time of answering
Sometimes some people like to reassure themselves by asking confirmation from others..like a second opinion, you know...
So,for getting back onto stock ICS i dont need to involve abbyss or any other kernels right??
just,odin, and 2 stock roms and wipe userdata?

Just read this post from Dr. Ketan for installing stock ICS ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Before installing any custom ROMs/Kernel, you need to read & re-read the instructions carefully. Any missed step will make your device nothing more than a paperweight. Also do read the stickies in the forum for flashing/rooting, etc., it will help you & also you may be able to help someone like yourself by pointing in the right direction.
As Kopitalk told, do not wipe when on ICS. Always be on a safe kernel (GB based preferred) first.
Hi,
I' in trouble with my note. It stucks at samsung logo animation and i cant make it boot to ics anymore (i'm on stock 4.03 ics rom)
This is what happend : i played/bench beetween gl_notecore kernel v9.x/v10.x and chainfire 3D driver install/uninstall, all was fine and suddenly my phone freezed at ics homescreen after a soft reboot (OC or whatever make it freezed).
So i hard reboot it by pressing power button 10 sec, and now, it dont full boot anymore.
I tried to flashed many kernel through cwm onboard kernel stuff (notecore/speedmod..), tried wipe cache, tried to flash stock rom (N7000XXLQ3_N7000XXLPT_N7000XEFLP1_HOME.tar.md5) throught odin but result is same. Phone is indefinitly show samsung animation logo screen without finally boot into ics.
I dont know if chainfire 3d driver is the guilty one but fresh rom flash dont unbrick it ?
What's my solution now ? i didnt tried to full wipe before flashing stock rom and i'd prefer not. but...
thanks for your help :good:
To be on safe side i would try to flash a stock gb rom first then move to ics later. Flash gb stock from dr.ketan thread then go into recovery and wipe ....then it should boot.

Flash it using PC Odin. If your phone stuck at bootscreen logo or you face any issues do a Wipe by going to recovery mode. (GB Kernels are safe to Wipe)
Now Check whether the issue is still there or not.
Gb flashed successfully, and phone boot normally.
But GB soft reboot a lot. Seems flashing gb over ics without a wipe make a mess in the rom =)
Going to wipe and flash ics back.
Tanks a lot !

Remember not to WIPE on ICS Stock Kernel. When you want to flash on Stock ICS remember to flash a safe kernel first like notecore/hardcore/etc
No matter, i'm aware of MMC_CAP_ERASE brick of the death
I will do like i did before. flashing notecore kernel through odin and triangle away
Edit : oh wait.. and i'll never install chainfire 3d again

yes i can enter the download mode
i am on the stock ics rom (which i upgraded the 2.3 to it)
please help me
and thanks for the fast reply
First you didn't know that zip is not available now, and you must have this which you downloaded earlier, that zip is abandonas it proved to use unsafe and can brick device.
Not only that, you souldn't have to wipe anything on stock ICS.
Anyway if you are able to enter download mode then flash any GB ROM you have already with you, otherwise download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin
ok i wasn't know that, anyway i downloaded odin, what did i need else? what you mean by "download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin"?
i didn't understand this sentence, did it mean that i need specific type of rom to flash it from odin?
thank you a lot
Yes download this

See everything is on your luck, I hope you get device working again with above said ROM.
But remember even after flashing ROM successfully, it may not boot up, dont worry. enter to recovery(vol up+hole+power) and wipe cache, delvik cache and data. then it should fine.
But if while flashing ROM, if it stuck then your luck is not with you and chances will be high you have bricked device.
Let report back, n Me or someone will guide you for next step.

B'coz what you did was totally wrong and risky, and if any damage you had can only rule out once your device gets life again. So pray before flashing and GoodLuck from ourside.

yes it was been a wrong, and i didn't have the enough experience to do like this step,
i install the ore rooted rom (in your signature) and i flash it, before it finish flashing it stop and then give an error, and when i turn on the phone to the recovery mode it give a message "firmware upgrade encourtted an issue, please select recovery mode is kies and try again" what can i do please.
thanks
You should have noted down the error on that flash before you went to recovery mode. Every error is an essential part and you should take a note of it as this can lessen your upgrade issues.
So here's what your going to do. Turn the phone to Airplane Mode.
Try to reflash again the pre prooted GB room in download mode Once your successful doing it, download stock ICS firmware (in your region) from www.samfirmware.com. Don't use OTA updates as this will mostly fail. Just use PC KIES to update your phone back to 4.0.4 ICS.
Take it one step at a time and again next time, remember try not to be in a hurry doing it. It takes patience and a bit of luck in flashing and upgrading.
Yes as above said, reflash ROM by putting device in download mode
hello again
in the begining thank you for your help
i fixed my phone, in a shop specialized for these cases but i dont know how.
and my phone now returned to the stock ics rom.4.0.3
i would ask if i can flash a custom rom (jelly bean 4.1 for example) and what are the safety steps that can i follow to avoid any another brick to my phone? what do you advise?
thanks again.
if u on ics u need to flash a safe kernel like philz or hydracore. that's it. Now u r good to go
Is there any danger if i flash any of the kernels u mentioned? And does the phone remain working after i flash the kernel? And after i flash the kernel what is the next step? Flash the rom? Or there is any step required before?
Thanks a lot
yes the phone will work after flashing any of the mentioned kernels.
philz is the best for ics as it can be installed from stock recovery and it's safe and gives u root and cwm
then u can boot into cwm and do a factory reset format system, data, wipe cache and dalvik then install the new rom.
