I'm sorry for my bad english and because I opened a topic here,but I don't know what else to do.
help me please

Go into recovery & wipe.
Do you have working download?

i have just did it and he reacted in same way

Try to wipe dalvik-cache.

you said something about download,what do you mean?

Don't flash until you know what you're doing... biggest mistake i've witnessed in the past 5yrs. You literally have to read up. It's not bricked, reflash it with odin with your stock rom and call it a day.
Dude means download mode.. 3 button setting for Download mode of course, we figure if you've got the time to flash, you've got the time to read for 5 mins

One more thing there are two PIT files in archieve with odin,wich I should use the 512?

Can some one tell him the correct PIT file? I think its 512.

so I entered that link I registred on that site and now I downloading the PIT file for europe the JPY is the latest.
So I just put it on the odin without extract him?
should I tick the repartition on odin?
thx for your patience

NO PIT NO PARTION, right?

I don't have to put PIT file?
the rar archieve that I'm downloading,where should i put it.on PDA,PHONE or CSC?

I'm a noob...I'm almost close to make it work,all you have to tell me if I have to extract the content of archieve and where should i put it in odin.
I promise that this is the last thing I ask you.
thank you

o God when I wanted to extract de TAR file is asking me a password...where I find the password?

Find N7000 All stock ROm link from my signature, n go with any ROM you like.
Keep in mind, if you want to keep rooted, just select older ROM

the problem i am having now is its not even rebooting and i am having a firmware upgraded encountered an issue and i cant get into recovery mode the only thing i can get into is download mode and when i try to install the custom rom..you provided it says end on odin and when i try to install the leak ics it stays on hidden for hours..is my phone doomed..

Which country are you in?

Canada and my galaxy note was brought from Germany so i don't thing Samsung Canada will cover the warranty

Which firmware have you tried? I'm guessing with it being a german note in canada you are gonna need to use european firmware?
This is the one i've just used and i have just come back from using the Chinese leak myself.
Is your note the 16gb or 32gb version? Check to make sure you're using the correct pit.
Open Odin 1.83
Connect your phone in download mode
Use the correct .pit in the PIT tab
Unpack the file you downloaded and put the Unzipped file in the PDA tab
Make sure re-partition is ticked and press start
All should be ok
Once done you can root and CWM with the links in Dr Ketans sig and you're away

its the 16 g

it did not work there was no pit file with the link you gave me and the pit i have says 32 g and i dont know where i can get a 16g pit if there is such thing

@ nuklearmonkeyuk: I am searching for a 32 GB PIT-File for rooting my Note (32 GB). Can't find such at all . Are you shure it exists?? All my searching failed, only found 16 GB PIT. Found a Post that said it don't care. Can you help me please ??
Edit: want to root my Note using Chainfires TUT, so I have to downgrade to KJ1. Dowloaded it, it's a "3-Part" one (I think) with a 16 GB PIT file.

Help with Odin flashing please strange problem encountered..

Hey guys,
Strange one (well for me anyway) was on the chinese ICS and was using Odin to flash a KKA rom i'd got from sammobile once it flashed and booted i had tons of FC's on Acore etc and couldnt even get past the press android to continue screen..
So i downloaded KJ1 firmware from sammobile and it has 4 files and i've only ever seen 3.. these are
CODE_N7000XXKJ1_CL627135_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-OXAKJ1.tar.md5
KERNEL_N7000XXKJ1_CL627135_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar
MODEM_N7000XXKJ1_REV_05_CL1067428.tar.md5
Ok so CSC and MODEM are easy but what do i do with the other 2? I put the top one in PDA and it failed the flash right at the very end which i assume is when the kernel is flashed..
Any Help?

Shameless bump.. but only as everyone has their heads in the ICS threads
Really need help here as i've never had 4 files before.. anybody know what to do with the extra?

Yep i know what to do with three files.. but this has 4, a seperate kernel file which im guessing should be in and flashed somehow.. but there is nowhere to put it.. and Odin says failed when it gets to flashing the kernel

[Q] Galaxy Note from China (GT-I9228G), change to western ROM?

Hello all,
During my travels in China, I picked up a GT-I9228G galaxy note.
Back in the UK now, and hoping I could change the rom to the english varient of GT-N7000? I am assuming GT-I9228G and GT-N7000 is the same device, just different regional roms(?).
The boot screen is chinese. It has chinese apps on it which I cant remove and no app store amongst other things. Ideally, would like to make the phone all english. Is this possible?
Just a bit of background on me:
I used to own a HTC PDA which I swap roms from developers here and very familair with jail breaking on apple products. Andriod however is new to me. I am a quick learner, so any pointers would be great please guys/gals.

I guess you could... Lots of other people bought their galaxy note from Hong Kong and also from china and they all changed their ROM for a same reason of yours.

Does not the 9220 using a snapdragons and not exynos? I not sure but I thing I have read it somewhere so carefully before flashing.

So, potentially I could just change to the one below?
N7000XXKKA ## 2.3.6 2011 November N7000CPWKK3 United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse) Download

The box says 1.4 + <insert chinese characters here>
From wiki -A dual-core 1.4Ghz Exynos processor or a 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon S3 processor (AT&T, SK Telecom, KT, LG U+)
So my guess is Exynos. Anyway to double check?

ok, so I have downloaded the above rom and Odin3 v1.83 from sammobile.
I have opened Odin3 and specified the PIT file (Q1_20110914_16GB)
I have also ticket re-partition, auto reboot and F.reset timer.
I have loaded the rom under PDA (N7000XXKKA_N7000CPWKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar), everything else is unticked.
I have the phone in download mode ready.
I just need to know if the above is ok or am I missing anything before I click START and brick my phone?
Thanks,
Chris.

well I tried anyway.
That didnt work.
Now the phone says "software update fail"
I can still get into download mode, buts thats about it.
tried with and without the PIT file.
Anyone know what I should do now please?

I'd say you'll have to find a rom for that model
maybe http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9220&r=2#regiona

You might have bricked your phone by checking repartition in odin. You should not have. Now you probably need to find a pit file for your model.

If you could enter download mode then try these steps
1. Open Odin and flash Pit file only and Re-partition ticked. (do not attach any ROM)
2. After this again flash ROM without pit file and re-partition un-ticked
This should work.

Thanks,
The first part seemed to work ok, so then went onto flashing again without the PIT file. Failed
Back to square one (software update fail message).
Going to try the original ROM, but takes about 6 hours to download from china!.
Ideally, really dont want to use the original ROM though! I'm guessing the original ROM isnt going to work now anyway since ODIN3 has re-partitioned the device(?).

god, you can't flash n7000 roms on the china note, you will surely brick your phone and good luck.

You're wrong. Several have tried and it's working perfectly with n7000 roms on i9220 phones.

I am also doing this on a macbook via Boot camp (windows partion). Maybe it has a problem with that. Will try it on a normal PC too.
Any other suggestions before I head home from work and play later?

Oh, I forgot to mention. I read somewhere (forgot where) that I should root the device prior to changing the ROM. Is that true? If so, I dont think thats something I can do in current state

you can try flashing kernel with CWM in PC Odin, then flash any Custom ROM using CWM Recovery.

CWM is clockworkmod right? Dont I need a rooted phone in order to install it?
Or do I follow something like this? http://whatareandroidphones.net/root-samsung-galaxy-note.html

Yes... CWM recovery doesn't need root.

hello,
Didnt have the time to work out CWM, but was given a link to another rom which had three files for ODIN3 (http://hotfile.com/dl/149302861/1896440/N7000XXLA6_N7000XEULA1_XEU.rar.html).
So, loaded the above and the phone is back in action on a N7000 rom. Wohoo. Just glad it's working again more then anything else lol!
This rom is prerooted apparently too. know idea what I should be able to do now. What does one usually do when they have a rooted device?

and at some time i flashed to ICS beta and that really screw my kernel up as i had to install a custom kernel "fugomod or such"
so i tried the ICS and didn't like it, i wanted to return to my stock rom and couldn't "because of the kernel and stuff" i tried hard to recover my phone till i found Cyanogen Mod! it was the only rom which installs it's own via recovery mod so i tried it, i liked it but get sick of it.. i really want my stock rom back!! SAMSUNG KIES can't even recognize my phone it only plugs with mass storage mode!!!
sooo... help??

Anybody can tell me how can i restore back to stock rom?

The roms on sammobile used to contain three files - Phone, CSC and PDA file.. you can download 512 pit file by searching .... I guess using these four files at the same time should solve your problem.. if it is a problem of bootloaders then search in forums of how to flash bootloaders

512 pit file by searching? what do u mean please where to find it? sorry i'm noob
and okay i'm downloading now from SAMFIRMWARE, hope it contains the three files
this thread was supposed to solve my problem but the links in it aren't working no more
so now all is need are the three files and the PIT and the Kernel of the rom JPJV6.

Download one from sammobile.com, or google it. Use your country specified ROM.
Then use Odin with 512 Pit file, and tick repartition.
