Hi all,
I just upgraded to a JB rom (RocketROM) from a rooted official ICS rom.
As instructed, when I wiped the phone using stock recovery, the device was rebooted.
I first thought, the software commanded the reboot.
Then, I loaded CWM.zip and tried to installed the rom.
The installation exited without any error.
Again, I thought, everything was OK and rebooted the device.
But, the phone stopped at "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen.
As I tried again, the stock recovery was overwritten with touch-CWM.
Now, I can't use the phone and can't go back to Samsung rom using odin.
Please help. T.T
I will upload a video of the problem shot with another phone.
Video:
cant u put the phone in download mode?
where did u get CWM.zip?
If you are able to get in download mode,then try to flash pre rooted gb rom from dr.ketan thread.
Or if you have a nandroid backup of your ex rom,and if you Can get in recovery mode,then restore it.
I would prefer first method.

Are you already flashed Stock Rom with Odin? If you can't, seems you have an eMMC brick (aka SuperBrick). The only way to fix it is by the way of Repartition or leave your phone to your Warranty. Sorry man, first of all before flash a Rom you NEED TO READ everything about it. You CANT flash a rom with temporal CWM (CWM.zip) because you will have a brick, and when you do a WIPE/FACTORY RESET you need a Safe Kernel (SpeedMod, Hydracore etc) and not the stock kernel because they are infected with eMMC erase script.... Sorry my bad english. Greetings from Argentina!
If you did a wipe from stock ics kernel,then you might have bricked your phone
Try flashing a gb rom,if the process gets failed,then its a brick
Thank you all for your feedbacks and advices.
I found out PIT file tricks and finally get my phone loaded with a stock rom with custom kernel.
So, I got one step further now.
But, the phone stopped at "Samsung" logo.
Appreciate any advice..
the PIT was to be the last resort.. this meant u had access to the download mode.. u mite have lost 3gb of ur internal storage
what rom? wat kernel ?
samsung GT N7000 logo or the glowing samsung logo?

Thanks so much.
Finally, the OS is running fine and triangle is gone.
But, the phone is showing blank IMEI and baseband as unknown.
Any help please?

Dear Both,

Please kindly guide me whether I can download someone's efs and modify it.
I still can get IMEI and Serial numbers from the box.
Thanks again

Noted, Raj... :crying:
If I rooted and upgraded to a custom kernel, the kernel assigned me a fake IMEI and I could make phone calls.
With stock kernel, I couldn't connect to mobile network at all.
So, I think, the official repair is the only option now.
Luckily, it still have the warranty.
I will remove all modifications and restore original rom and recovery.
Then, will try to repair it at service center.
I've done a number of custom ROM updates on HTC HD2 and SIII.
These devices never gave me any problem.
Good thing is I've learnt a lot... ha ha...

do u have root?
check in /efs folder -> is it empty or are there a lot of files, mainly "nv_data.bin", "nv_data.bin.md5"

Yes, when it was rooted, I did check the /efs folder. It was empty.
Then, I checked it at CWM touch and I couldn't mount the /efs folder.
I think, /efs sector was also corrupted.
:crying::crying::crying:
Now, I just restored to a stock rom to go to an official service center.
hmmm.. good luck

I heard that few people got restored their imei by flashing stock gb rom
I'm not sure but better try it once
Dear All,
Last week, I went to Samsung service center.
I just told them after software update, the phone lost the network connection.
As my phone was still under warranty, they didn't charge me any.
Yesterday, they sent back the phone and it's full functional now.
I think, they changed the motherboard as the storage is back to 11 GB.
Thank you all for your help along the way!

What are the latest date stamps on the ODIN files? Are these the ones needed?
I used knoxraidv3.zip dated 2/13/2014 in slot1 on safestrap. I then followed the instructions to back out to the main screen and reboot. Not the instructions to remove the battery that I found later.
I've tried loading the ODIN files dated 1/27/2014 and have also tried to load stock v4.3 files.
Ideas?

Hello fellas...just rooted my note 4 using odin. After rooting I tried to install the TWPR flash recovery to no evail. For some reason after downloading the recovery file, when I open it up in odin it get's stuck on the screen ( using my computer). So I cannot install it to my phone....yet. I did download ROM toolbox pro...i do notice there is a recovery option here. Is this the same thing as the TWPR recovery? Do I absolutely need TWPR recovery? really new to this so all and any info will help thanks!
Use an older version of Odin. I'm using 3.04 everyday. Yes you need a custom recovery.

Did you install Chainfire Root before trying to install TWRP. I have a short Odin video on YouTube I made for another member that you can check out. See if it helps you
http://youtu.be/hMOsw0RDeSQ
Remember that this was for a specific member and rom he was installing as far as the Firekat files. The Odin, chain root, and twrp will work for your needs. You might want to update the twrp to 2.8.4.
2.8.1 works fine for me so that what I have installed

make sure your file is a tar file and not an image, if it is good then I would try a different version of Odin as mentioned before. If still no luck I would definitely try a different file location to get the Download or a different version of TWRP. I have files that I know work if you need.
Hope we helped
Also when your loading in the pda slot it takes a minute to populate in the slot sometimes 60 seconds....
That is normal. Sometimes when loading firmware it takes up to 3 minutes or so for the md5 check to be done. Usually root and recovery aren't quite as long but still can take a min.

To answer this question, are you planning on flashing ROMs? If not, I wouldn't worry about TWRP. Some people just like to ROOT and be on their way.

Yeah I realized that when I loaded the chainfire file in odin. But after waiting 10 minutes for the recovery file , I figured something was wrong. If you can provide me with the recovery link that would be great. Its for the note 4 t mobile.

Make sure that after it reboots you turn off your device. Hold volume up, power and the home button at the same time and go into recovery mode and back your device up. Leave what is x'ed off as is but I also back up the modem. Change the location of the back up to be saved to your SD card. Factory wipe, the advanced, checking off dalvik, system, data and cache. DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL or SD card. Reboot your phone. Let it sit for 5 min on the welcome screen then enjoy

I don't always clean install firekat, but mega does recommend it. Cache, Dalvik cache, and data.
Decided to use the twrp app to update my recovery and now it doesnt boot at all, hangs at the recovery booting screen then shows me a screen with like odin info.
I need some major help, I think i have a solution with the PC, however I'm running ubuntu and I'm not sure if odin will work on this. Been trying how to learn if there is a way i can work with odin but every odin + ubuntu/linux tutorial is very outdated
That was the misstep... You don't want to use the trwp app for twrp updates... I have heard that is like a 100% fail ratio... Might have to stary from scratch and odin rom, odin twrp, then go from there... I would just keep clear of the play store twrp app, and stick to odin with twrp updates...
