I am having a very hard and frustrating time trying to get into recovery mode. Basically I installed a ROM today that was very unstable, and when I go to rom manager trying to flash a different ROM the screen just goes black any help would be greatly appreciated thankyou.

Unless u wanna flash AOSP roms (CM or MIUI) or maybe froyo roms stay away from that app. To get to recovery the easiest would be to flash a kernel with cwm backed in. Download this package http://www.mediafire.com/?tx56ypyw8wx4c8n. Open ODIN_Kernel_Flasher in 2 - Kernel folder, add Kernel.tar to PDA, uncheck auto reboot, Connect your phone in download mode to PC and hit start. Once complete pull the battery and reboot your phone in recovery mode. Wipe data (factory reset), cache and dalvik cache and then flash a rom of ur choise. In case u'd want a GB (gingerbread) rom coming from stock or froyo rom first u'll HAVE TO flash gb bootloaders before the rom. U'll find the gb bootloader flasher in the package u downloaded, check out the readme file as well.
Now something else is going on with the phone. It was fine and charging when I went to bed now the freaking thing is stuck in a boot loop =(, the odin version you told me to download will it also fix this issue? Or do I need a different one?
If u can get it into download mode ur all fine, as for which Odin, u'll find everithing ur looking for in that package I've linked. Once extracted go trough the readme file.
Edit: which rom did u come from and which one did u flash last?
I came from an obsession rom which was the unstable one, flashed to darkys rom. I still can not get it into recovery mode I will give the odin link you posted a try thanks for all of your help

Does ODIN not recognize that the captivate is hooked up?
Hi people.
I have a question.
When my Note goes to deep sleep mode, the screen blinks back on on it's own as if it's awaking from a bad dream!
It's frustrating, how can i make it stop?
Try jbroid kernel cleaning then reflash your kernel
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
mention your ROM and KERNEL....and its funny...i mean the Title of your thread
It's true! it's waking up from deep sleep and then all day it has a foul mood. I've tried doctors, i've tried everything, you are my last hope guys!
My Rom is N7000XXLA4, kernel is:2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6=CL907341 [email protected]#2(Do i really need to write all this when people ask me what kernel i have or would a shorter version suffice?)
I am on gingerbread.
Now i just noticed a thread registering the same problem i have under the title: Deep Sleep Problem
I have the same issue.

ReFlash Kernel means you on the custom Kernel already, and if you on the stock, it's not applicable. You can just download the PC-odin 1.85 or 1.87, then flash the right official ROM for your country from the sammobile.com site, with hard reset before. OR, you can go to the custom ROM. OR, you can try just hard reset.
I am on official rom and i have just gotten the phone back from a logic board replacement.
I want to install a custom ROM and eventually go to ICS but first i have to fix those deep sleep hiccups.
I am trying to determine the best course of action.
In the following hours i am going to root my device and the reflash my rom based on this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462309
and then i am going to install CMW and titanium backup so i won't lose my apps(i really don't want to install them from the beginning.)
The rom i have will not update to ICS as it's brand new. Do you think i should wait or change ROM and get ICS?
About the kernel now, why is it important to flash the kernel other from this particular situation?
Also can you provide a few links where i can safely learn how to flash the kernel?
Thank you all in advance

Unfortunately i cannot provide the links, because i'm "new member". I'm only reading here, before today.
But, the course of action for you:
1) If you will flash the custom ROM with the custom kernel you do not need to deal with the sleep mode, because the kernel is controlling modes/clocks and ither vital parts of life of your phone. Kernel is the main part of the "soft" in your phone.
2) Remember the one most important thing: DO NOT USE wipe cache/format data, on the samsung official 4.0 - 4.03 in CWM. If you need to wipe, you need to install the Abyss kernel 3.9-4.2
How to:
You need to find PC-Odin 1.85 or 1.87, and the rooted ROM with CWM in *.tar format. Close all kies services with "task manager".
Connect your phone in download mode (home+vol. down+power and when is powerd on and asking you about flashing, vol. up), launch Odin. You will see yellow quadrant in odin. Then you need to click on "PDA", then selecting the downloaded ROM file, and do not forget the "pda" checkbox. Do not touch the other checkboxes, then Start.
Wait before it's flashed.
This is the basic guide, as i said, i cannot provide you with the links, so if you need something more - ask, i'll try to help you.
QA:
What is CWM? CWM is advanced recovery program. It's built-in in kernel. You can enter in CWM by pressing in powerd off phone home+vol.up+power.
Wht is kernel? Kernel is the core component of the phone ROM. You can flash it separate from other parts of ROM.
You can also flash separately the Modem (phone), CSC and UMS parts. Remember, some kernels do not support some ROMs, for example: If you'll flash the Cyanogen Mod, and then some Franco kernel, your phone will cannot start properly. Ofc. you can use CWM in this case.
This is scary to flash my phone? No, if you read all instructions, you can "breack it" in the only one case: you'll wipe it from the CWM builded in official samsuung 4.0 - 4.0.3 RoM.
What is "wipe/format user data"? This is the way to clear your personal data, and the other trash in your system. You need to wipe before installing new ROM.
What happens if i flash new ROM without it? Nothing, but some of your apps can work incorrect in this way.
How to flash kernel from CWM? Download the kernel in *.zip file, copy it to the SD-card, restart in CWM, install zip file. If you have *tar file, use the PC-Odin.

Your post has been most helpful
But i still have questions.
1st: What if i don't want to flash a custom ROM just yet? how can i get rid of the deep sleep hiccups without going off the official roms?
2nd: What will happen if i wipe my cache during ICS in CWM?
3rd: I recently flashed the CSC from KOR to EUR(I did it because i couldn't access Kies, and i chose EUR because it's corresponding to my country). My current ROM didn't offer DBT as an option. So if i flash it again and find an N7000XXLA4 Rom with DBT offered will i have the ICS update available through official channels?
4th: What does UMS stand for, what does it do?
Thank you in advance
Come on mate follow the instructions and flash rocket rom v6 the most stable one and enjoy it

1. You need to switch off your device, than remove the battery for ~10 sec. Then switch it on, and do not touch it before it's switched to standby, then wait about 35 minutes for deep sleep. But if it doesn't work, u can flash it with official firmware with Odin. Sammobile have all official roms. You didn'g get the yellow triangle this way.
2. You will brick your device. And loose some int. memory in advance (~4gb). Why? Because official samsung rom have an error, and it's rewriting your NAND memory again and again with full speed of your CPU and memory dying in the few seconds (about 100-200k rewrites supported).
3. What for do you need the OTA??? You can flash china, korean, even russian official roms through odin without fear. And then you can get OTA's. Custom kernels do not support OTA in any form. Just think: if you flashing custom rom, how you can get official over it?
4. Don't know ))) UMS - usb mass storage, i think, but i'm not sure in this. And i do not know what for we can use it.
Hi. I noticed I had the exact same problem yday on my note. I turn off the screen, 5 seconds later the screen turns on again (on the lockscreen), stays for 2 seconds and then turns off. Then another 20 seconds later repeat. My phone definitely was going to deep sleep (checked with CPU spy), but this "nightmare" thing was annoying. I was on RR v6 with Speedmod k3. I dunno what the reason was for this, so I just simply changed my kernel to Goku v1. The issues seems to have gone away now. I dunno what was causing it, but I am just sharing what I did to get rid of this.
I rooted my device(with CF-Root) and then flashed a kernel and then returned to my original one.
The problem is still here.
Later today i am going to try and return to a CMW friendly kernel and then flash the jBroid Kernel Cleaning Script that adamskoc mentioned in his post.
I will be posting results.
By the way even with the custom Kernel my activity from last night is summarized by this picture:
All night the phone was restless...
Yupp I've had this problem also before. The no deep sleep bug. To get rid of this follow this:
Put the phone in airplane mode.
Turn off the phone.
Take out the battery.
Wait for like a minute and put the battery back in and turn on the phone.
Wait for the phone to completely reboot and be stable (scanning usb etc).
Now turn off airplane mode.
I dunno whats the relation but I never had the no deep sleep issue after following these steps.

I did that yesterday. Didn't work.
I have just finished flashing the jBroid.
I will be keeping you posted.
/Edit: it's not working... I tried flashing a new kernel, i tried the jBroid script, i tried the airplane mode trick... Nothing. What the hell is going on here? Could this be a hardware issue? I just got my logical board replaced due a previous faulty one, could they have replaced it with a used one that might also have problems? I don't know what to make. Does that happen?
This is so screwed up...
Hey pros …
I just flash cm10 rom and stuck on cm10 boot screen.
1. Flash abyss kernel 4.2
2. Flash cm10 rom and JB GAPP
3. Reboot and stuck on boot screen
4. Try to get into CWM by using button combo but it won't get me into CWM and it straight go to boot screen
I SERIOUSLY NEED HELP !!!!!!!
Can anyone help me Galaxy note is the best phone I ever had I don't want to lose it pls help me pls ……
Normally you can fix this by doing a wipe/factory reset in CWM but since you cannot enter CWM i dont know.
If u really cannot get into CWM maybe its best to start over.
Flash the CM9 kernel with odin and try to enter CWM after that and flash CM10+gapps again. (dont forget to do the wipe/factory reset)
It should boot without probs.

You flashed a bleeding edge rom without even reading the 1st Page containing the instructions. What's the point of doing instructions if they aren't used. Go back and read and preferably stay on stock until you understand what you are doing

You need to flash cm based roms from cm base which is best to flash from gb rom. Which version were you trying to install?
If you can get into download mode, flash a root able gb rom and root, add cwm, then flash cm10

I had exactly the same problem earlier tonight... CM10 completely nuked my phone, couldn't boot into recovery or anything...
working on getting it back now using a stock GB Rom and Odin (PC) as i could still access download mode... hopefully can recover that way, fingers crossed...
not sure what the problem is, but i'm staying away from CM10 previews until all the bugs are sorted out now...

That's why when you are a noob and have never flashed any custom rom on your device, the best way to avoid a brick and to come here later looking for help when your phone is bricked is to read the ENTIRE thread even if it is 50 pages long! There will also be people who have bricked their phone on the rom's main thread and you will learn a lot by reading everything!

well... That's total Bulls**t
I no expert nor noob, I was.
but reading 50 pages ? total crap
I never do that, there is google, you can almost always find a short answer.
as far as I know, he didn't do anything wrong. I did the same, it work, he did it, it didn't work. guess what, the 50 pages didn't help at all.
the 50 pages can help as last option. or not.
Flashing CM ROM must come from untampered CM nightly not TW-based ROM
1- Use PC Odin to flash stock firmware - preferably Gingerbread (we all know ICS issues)
2- Reboot the phone, let the ROM start & check if u still have root
3- If not : Re-root your phone, Please check Drketan threads for rooting directions
4- When rooted : Reboot into recovery
5- Do full wipe (data - cache - dalvik) 3 times in a row
6- Do System format - go to advanced & choose Format /system
7- Now flash a stable CM base.. I prefer using the latest CM10 nightly (not CM-based ROM)
8- Now without rebooting, flash your preferred CM-based ROM.. I use PA by Utacka
9- Flash Gapps (if your ROM doesn't have them included.. plz read original post (OP) of the corresponding ROM)
10- Re-clean Cache & Dalvick .. only once
11- Reboot & Enjoy
I totally agree with Final5K.. I still read the instructions carefully, I even read some threads backwards to know the issues with the build and perhaps the fixes.. Unless, you would like to superbrick your phone.. that's up to you
CM roms are cmpletely ok. usually the op says to do factory reset after flashing rom before booting or it will get stuck on logo.
Hi everyone
First of all a little history:I used this [PhilZ-cwm6][n7000] v4.93.6 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root+exFAT+ext4-LT4 to root my n7000 on 4.0.4 (I bought it with 4.0.4).
Then after some time Android wanted an upgrade to 4.1.2 and after some time I just tried it and it failed after booting into recovery mode, because it didnt find a the expected kernel, I think. But I had the chance to boot up again.
OK I then did the update with Kies-Software and everything worked again. Then I rooted the phone again using the same method as mentioned in the post above.
Now today the phone wanted to update again, I thought, OK, if it didnt fail completely the first time, it will fail in recovery mode and let me boot up again.
But...
This time it went into recovery mode and didnt let me boot up again. It just shows the robot with the crystal and the progress bar seems to move a little but then the screen goes black for a second and the robot returns and the progress bar moves a little and the same again.... I dont get into the recovery menu.
I tried samsung kies emergency recovery, it doesnt find my n7000.
I tried to flash the kernel with a newer version from the post above. (I am not allowed to post there). No change it gets stuck in broken recovery mode.
I can push volumedown power and home to get into the download mode.
My question is what can I do?
Is there any other chance to avoid a complete stock recovery (is that the right term/way)?
What do I have to flash and how?
I am a little worried about the brick issues and I dont know which version I have to flash to set it back completely...
Please help & thanks

No worries, since your download mode is still working you can flash a stock Samsung ROM via odin. Download one from here and flash it in odin while in download mode. Latest at this point of time is LT4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
This will give you the stock JB Bootloader, Recovery, and ROM. Its completely unrooted though, and the phone will not be wiped in the process, so remember to do so after you flashed it.

Thanks a lot, crownest!
I sweated a bucket of blood and seat, because I couldnt wipe cache and data first, but it worked!!!
Everything looks like before!´the update!
Some more questions (sorry):
do you think I should wipe cache and data now?
Is a stock rom like the rom on internal usbcard only?
What about the update? Can I update safely now?
Thanks again for helping...

Yup you should be able to wipe cache and dalvik with no issues now.
I believe all ROMs be it stock or custom installs to the NAND memory (Someone correct me if im wrong) and never on your internal/external SDcard
As for OTA updates via Kies, I dont see why not, but if the same issue does reoccur again then my suspicions would point to a possible NAND corruption on the device. Not sure if there is a fix for that, but its a risk you gotta take. Or you can always root the phone and flash custom ROMs as new builds get released, this way you'll never have to use OTA updates again.
