[Q] ICS to GB

Can someone write a proper guide how to revert back from ICS to GB with CF kernel and without CF kernel?
Thanks

Prior to flashing GB, donot wipe data using stock or cwm recovery on ICS.
Do not use touch recovery to flash GB rom.
Do not restore GB backup from ICS.
Flash GB firmware with PC odin.
If you are stuck in bootloop or there are FCs after flashing GB, don't panic, just wipe data/factory.

Hello guys.
The very same thing like to OP happened to me today in the morning. After reading the warning about ICS bugs I decided to revert to GB through PC Odin. And the result is same .... stuck in factoryfs.img and not able to access recovery ...just download mode. Unfortunately I stopped reading at page 7 or so ..... need to leave the computer right now. If there are any thoughts to help us, please reply .... thanks in advance.
P.S. It looks like MoBo replacement is required, right?

Welcome to the forum AND the land of the bricked!
A lot has been written about wiping in recovery (on ICS).
Use the search option and you will maybe find a way out.

It is superbricked.
Flash stock kernel and return it to samsung service centre.
Don't tell them about root, custom roms etc.
Btw, which version of cf-root did you flash ?
and please post question and Q&A.

Samsung.
Service.
Center.
Don't worry, act stupid and it will all be good. XD

Galaxy note screen, nothing else

Hi guys, so I tried flashing Paranoid Android onto my phone using cwm 5.5, the phone was on stock ICS, now that Ive flashed it i simply cannot get past the "galaxy note" screen it does nothing, I have tried erasing all data een with superwipe, and tried a flash of stock gingerbread, stock ics and other roms to no avail.
Anyone who can help me?

I think you have not read the forums thoroughly, Never flash CM9 based roms from a Stock ICS kernels, you will be superbricked, try pc odin to get back to GB rom if it hangs at particular point then you have emmc bad partitions, send it to Samsung service or try to revive you gnote with altered pit file.

Damn, I have not read the warnings because I have rooted and rommed so many phones that I just treated this as a normal phone and did not know about problems like that.
I tried flashing stock Gingerbread and stock ICS by ODIN this has got the samsung screen now but no further.
It has reset the binary, do you think Samsung will repair for free?

I went to recovery mode than i selected CWM.zip and flashed it..
than in CWM I wiped Data

now i went to apply zip from sd card.. i applied the zip provided by eybee1970
Done.. it installed.. now it was showing Samsung's New Logo on startup..
i was happy coz i thought now m on JB !
than I waited 10 minutes but phone was hanged on samsung's logo
i thought maybe it is installation problem..
I again went to recovery mode.. now my recovery mode was changed ! i was directly into CWMR
and i seen kernel also changed ! it was Philz's Kernel...
I thought now its perfect for my Note.. Now i can install JB
i again flashed that Zip file..

What Can I Do Now ? Please Help Friends
and sorry coz i do not read the whole post and do a direct installations do not prepare and care for instructions..
plz help guyz plz

First off all always read related thread carefully before trying new rom on your Note. There are lots of warning in this forum not to use recovery mode when you are on stock ICS rom.
Anyway try to install stock gingerbread rom on your note using pc odin. It is better to use Dr. Ketan`s step by step guide to root your note and installing new rom. I hope you are able to go to download mode. BEST OF LUCK

I guess u bricked ur note..if odin fails, then try claiming warranty from Samsung, if your phone is under warranty..
If not, try jig, JTAG, PIT file methods..*after reading & understanding completely & thoroughly*

I've been there buddy....
1. Download a safe kernel *.tar for flashing from pc odin
- after install u'll be able to get into recovery
2. Get an original firmware from www.sammobile.com
-u r gonna flash it from pc odin along with the PIT file.
-- boot into download mode
-- flash firmware
-- finish... now can continue flash new kernel and ROM
Refer to dr.Ketan's flashing / brick guide

Try flashing another tom
And if you are not sure about flashing a rom,its better to take it again to service center

was it proper Samsung service center?
what did they say? did they change the motherboard?
check if your usb storage is 11gb, if yes, then flash a safe kernel and do a factory reset and test again

Woah so many people wiping on stock ics and using cwm.zip... Widely known as dangerous... Guess all of you went straight to YouTube instead of coming here and read how to do stuff.. Ends up by learning the hard way and the expensive way

Samsung Galaxy Note Stuck on Splash Image/Boot Image

My mom's Samsung Galaxy Note is currently stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 screen. Tried removing the battery and reinsert then turned it on same problem.
Also I am unable to access the recovery I remembered that I have philz kernel installed on the unit. And im only able to access the download mode.
Also when I flashed the stock roms that I have stored on my computer specifically GB roms it shows that it was successful but when the phone rebooted it is still stuck on the same screen. Not willing to do any more steps as im really out of ideas here. Hope you can help.
BTW my mom is only using the phone for standard use meaning call and text and a few game words like crossword and some solitaire games. And sh said that the phone just turned off then thinking it was due to low battery she charged it then when the battery shows 100% full she disconnected the phone and tried to turn it on that is when the problem occured.
Here is the screenshot of odin. And im a bit concerned about the line where it says "RQT_CLOSE!!!" I don't know what that means.

Some more useful information, the phone was on Jelly Bean Stocked Jelly Bean with custom kernel I forgot if it was Philz or speedmod. Phone is already out of its warranty.

Stuck on the Gt-N7000 screen? It doesn't go into bootloop when you flash the stock GB ROM ? Can you access the stock Android recovery? Remove battery, put it in and then try to access the recovery using the same the button combo used for custom recoveries.
The Odin flash went perfectly, nothing wrong with it.

Friend of mine is having the same issue, flashing to stock UK Jellybean.

Same issue
I'm actually having the same issue as the OP I'm bookmarking this as I am looking for a fix I flashed the Vodafone rom for the united kingdom and am now stuck on the bootscreen for all samsung devices.

Try booting into recovery and reinstalling one of your backups if you can - usually works for me. Clean all caches etc first though.
PC Odin may take a couple of attempts to flash it correctly I've found when I'm trying to repair a major stuff up.

Not working even though flashing stock gb/ics/jb and custom kernels and unable to access recovery only downliad mode. Was trying to use the pif file is it safe I mean it was said to use it as the last option.

Have you tried flashing a kernel through Odin PC and then booting into recovery use one of philz .tar files for the kernel and see if you can get in to recovery sounds like you have lost recovery. This has happened to me and I fixed with philz kernel through PC Odin good luck and also you may need to do a full wipe after flashing a ROM through PC Odin to get it to boot
sent from the darkness

Yup already performed that but stuck on logo snd cant access cwm recovery.
Got mine fixed by doing this procedure which is really weird. Flashed pit with stock gb rom then once finished im still stuck in splash screen decided to flashed ics with pit same results then i flashed jb rom using pc odin with pit after a few minutes i was able to access the menus and all those icons. But the apps and games installed are still on the device which should have been removed when i flashed stock rom.
Flashed philz kernel via mobile odin and wiped factory data and it seems device is working now. Still under observation though.

you are flashing a non wipe rom so the apps will still be there
