Hi guys, could really do with some help here.
I was on Rocket ROM ICS v3 and tried to update to v5. Wiped cache and dalvik and it installed in seconds which I thought was suspicious. It then restarted and got stuck on the galaxy note splash screen. This has happened when upgrading from 1 to 2 and then 2 to 3. So pretty sick of restoring everything!
I've just done a full reset and tried to install 5, it freezes during the installation and same with v3.
Please help im stranded without my phone
I hope that you didn't full wipe on cf-kernel....
I have no idea.. is that what v3 kernel is?

v3 is not a kernel. It is Rom.
Did you make a factory reset in cwm while being on RocketRom?
yes I know mate, but v3 says that it has the speedykernel...
But yes I have done a full reset when the upgrade to v5 didn't work
any idea how to fix it?

I thought you were referring to RR v3
For me you should flash abbys - do a fullwipe - reflash the rom
NEVER DO A FULL WIPE ON ANY ICS UNSAFE KERNELS ! YOU MAY END UP BRICKING YOUR NOTE!
you have been warned
thanks will search for the abyss kernel now and flash it and then try to flash the rom again... fingers crossed but I can still get to recovery so I presume everythings not lost?
This whole thing about not being able to full wipe on ICS, isn't that going to be a problem in the future if you decide to change rom?

that's not a problem. You can always flash abyss first and wipe. And CM9 kernels are safe to wipe.
REMEMBER - before you flash, follow the dev's instructions on how to do that!
And if you can go into download mode, you are good to go
I had the same problem. What I did was flash a rootable GB (ICS is possible), I rooted this rom. And I flashed as described in the Installation instructions
For me worked fine.
thanks, that explains it! managed to get it back to ICSv3
still a mystery why it's proving so difficult to upgrade without having to full wipe
going to try ICS v6 now without a full wipe, if it fails will try the old abyss trick

I try to install but don't work... after that i flash it, the phone lock to logo screen "google" and i can't go to CWM i must use odin to reflash. If install rc3.1 it's all ok.
Where is the problem?
Thanks.
Did you try looking at the help page on the thread in the development section? It's right before the post is finished, there will be a link that will lead you there.
Hope that helps, if not I can try to just copy and paste the instructions hahaha

yes... i try to flash a miui rom first also.
I try to do a full wipe... i try to install a original rom... but when i flash rc4.1 the phone stuck to logo.
Ensure you have backed up your EFS directory; if you don't know how ask.
To be honest, there appears to be some inconsistency in the reliability of the 4.1 RC release (across handsets); I have had persistent WIFI issues and then when the wifi fix was released I found the phone to just be a little laggy.
My advice if RC 3.1 works well for you is to keep it on there for now and wait for the next release they make.
However, if you still wish to flash it, there is no 100% working way - just keep factory reset, dalvik wipe, cache wipe, reset until it starts working! That's what I did as the original instructions did not work for me.

I agree with you... RC3 was fine for me... fast and all worked... RC4 has some wifi issues... It switch on/off and doesnt stop till i reboot the phone... im thinking about to downgrade to RC3.1 and wait till the next release...

If i flash 2 time the rom the phone stuck it and i can't enter in cmw
.. is the only rom that give me this problem... bha...
Hello, have you tried to download the rom again? Maybe it's a bad download..
That's odd, for me i got stats 7 but was because i was flashing the I9000B version and my phone was with the CWM for I9000. Try using odin and flash a sotck rom, after that install the CWM and then the RC4.1.
If anyone want to know the procedure that i do to install the RC4.1 is this:
Starting for CM7 --> flash the ARO 2.3.3 rom to re-write the bootloader (check this option in odin) --> flash the ZTO 2.2 rom to re-partition in original size partitions --> flash the 2.2.1 ARO because it's a nice rom and don't have all the trash that is present in ZTO version --> through kies flahs the ARO 2.3.3 original.
After that the procedure to install the RC4.1 is the standard: flash CWM then install the ROM.
I had problems going from 3.1 to 4.1. Same issue as OP.
Process I followed:
-Flashed CWM through heimdall
-Flashed devil kernel
-Flashed CM7 (had to do this twice in a row)
-Flashed ICSSGS 3.1
-Flashed 4.1 but before I rebooted my phone, I flashed Devil one last time.
Since then, phone has been rocking along just fine!

Yes... three times.
I'm having the same problem here.
I tried the first point on the Common Issues page but I'm still not able to go into CWM!
I flashed the Speemod Kernel using heimdll but I can't go back to CM7. I'm getting a Stat 7 error.
Also tried the Devils kernel (Devil_1.0_CFS) with no help ....
Any ideas?
Just wondering...

why on earth did you flash the CM7 as a part of the process? I always have just downloaded an appropriate kernel (devil, stockplus etc..) + ICS ROM (latest was RC4.1), once I'd rooted my stock 2.3.6 ROM with CF-Root (takes only 5 minutes). ICSSGS' ROMs can be applied straight on top of any previous ROM, the only requirement is that you have root privileges + CWM installed. Flashing CM7 is often frustrating, at least for me. I personally see no point in flashing it before the ICS ROM. If you know better, pleasy enlighten me

Hi,
I as of yet, am not going close to any ICS build till the issue gets solved by someone.
so I am experimenting with different gb roms. i was using checkrom v6 but didnt like it, so followed steps to install darkyrom/alliancerom extreme edition. i followed the steps as I was told to install allianceota and flash the rom through there. it didnt work. so instead using cmw i flashed through recovery, it did flash but there no root.
so now, i reflashed a stock la6 rooted rom from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
this went smoothly with no problems, so i installed allianceota as normal, this time when i try to flash the following messages come up:
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/CSC/KOR/system/'
Successfully applied multi CSC"
and then it gives me the option to reboot, wipe cache and a few other options, not full recovery mode.
shall i just reflash the rom through recovery, or am I doing something wrong? and does the slight error above mean I have a problem with my note?
cheers in advance.
Let me just say that almost every ICS ROM out there now has disabled the MMC_CAP_ERASE code in the kernel that activates the eMMc bug and bricks your phone. If you want stock ICS, you can use SpeedMod or Franco kernels. If you want AOKP, there is that now. If you want CM9, there's a bunch of variations plus the official CM9 nightly. If you read through the OP and stickies, you will be okay.
Are you on stock recovery still? It sounds like it from the error you are getting. Try flashing CWM recovery and installing the GB rom with that. Follow Drketan's thread in Android Development.
hmmm, so would you advise me to use ics? is it much better? i dont want to use cm9 builds as i need the spen apps and so on. i have looked into kingdroid or alba.
I'll have to think hard about this. i may give it a shot soon though..
oh and btw, I fixed the problem, yep it was to do with cwm it wasn't installed with the stock rooted rom. as for allianceota, it still didnt flash the rom, i had to flash the rom through cwm manually.
cheers anyhow.

I love ICS a lot more than GB. If you want to use stock ICS, I would just use Franco or Speedmod kernels with it and be safe. Read both of their forums and decide what you want to do.
I had the same problem with rom deodex i had flash with odin 1.85 firmware gingerbread here ; http://www.hotfile.com/dl/152168378/f76281c/N7000XXLC1_N7000OXXLB3_ATO.zip.html... then i made wipe cache and cache dalvick .
I've just flashed AlBa repack latest one on xxlq2, I did it by following the steps,
I thought i had broken my phone, because when the flashing finished and i was rebooting, at the beginning when it welcome to galaxy note n7000 and then goes to the bootup video, it restarted that several times, then after like a few minutes it loaded the homescreen and startup.

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
You have to install stock ICS before flashing Kingdroid.

But,the video on youtube(cursed4eva) shows that ROM can be installed when on GB too..

Everytime,ive tried to Overwrite it.. ive did not INSTALL Abbyss Kernel. DO i have to???i did that only for the first time.
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.

So if i want to install STOCK ICS,
i have to flash to stock GB first,(via ODIN)
then wipe data,cache
and install stock ICS via odin right?? that's all i have to do?

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.
Hello,
I was using the Classic ROM v5 and decided to give the v6 a try. I didn't really like it, so I decided to get back to v5, that's when my problems started.
I did everything as usual, wipe data/cache/dalvik and flash rom, the problem is after I flashed the rom my phone it automatically reboots in recovery mod. I tried almost everything, I flashed the rom via Odin, I flashed a new kernel, I tried flashing via CWM (it gets stuck in installation). I don't really know what else to do
Some1?
Try flashing a stock Samsung Gingerbread rom like the N7000XXLC1. If it boots, do a full wipe in recovery. Then you have a clean slate to work with.

Ok, I feel like a retarded now LOL I tried flashing a stock ICS rom and it didn't work, didn't even think about the GB one. Thanks.
Unless you have a safe custom ICS kernel, you are risking bricking your Note with a full wipe. Without a custom, always wipe from GB. You are still booting into recovery so I you have not bricked the phone.

Hello guys, i have a Note on stock ICS 4.0.4 and i was using SpeedMod kernel untill a few minutes ago, but now i tried to flash HydraCore v7 Standard(From here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tgt862w7t0dbbwf/wtCeOLxSsU/HydraCore 7 ) and after that my phone refuses to boot, it only gets to "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000" screen but after that the screen just turns black and i need to remove the battery to try again or to go into CMW.
I tried to reflash the SpeedMod .zip but it doesn't work(The CMW version changes, but i still can't boot).
I'm a noob, brought my Note two months ago and i am an Android noob(Came from iOS).
Could someone here PLEASE help me?

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache?
Next time read the threads for a new kernel or a new Custom Rom here in XDA and follow the installation instructions carefully. This reduces the chances of error dramatically.
But first try to clean the caches and reboot again.
Just wiped Dalvik Cache and Partition Cache but i still can't boot.

Please try the factoy reset.
As the poster before said: factory reset is a possibility.
But: only if you really sure you're using a recovery in a safe kernel. This should be from what you told before.
Another option I would try first:
So I would search for the Philz kernel for your ICS and install this first in CWM. Maybe you can boot with this into Android. If not this gives you a safe environment for factory reset or installing a new Rom
When you want revert from HydraCore v7 kernel you need to flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32806581&postcount=10783
After flashing this .zip, see if it boots properly, then you can try flash any other kernel that you want (speedmod, philz, or other version of HydraCore/Notecore)
Edit: oh I see this file isnt avilable anymore, so try this link:

Thanks dude, you saved me!
Didn't need to do the factory resets, used this .zip and now i can boot. Think i will stay with that kernel for a while now Maybe later i get back to SpeedMod. But, anyway, thank you all for helping me out with this guys, I really appreciate it.
