[Q] GB 2.3.3. Horizontal lines on boot after patching bootloader. Recovery mode lost

Hi,
I flashed GB 2.3.3 (CF-ROOT 3.3) when it first came up and everything worked fine. Today I decided to check my bootloader. I installed the patch and applied it because the application said: SIGNED. When I rebooted the tab, here is what happened:
A lot of horizontal lines (green, blue, white....etc) -----> then samsung logo appeared -----> then horizontal lines again ---> then the tab main screen appeared.
The tab works fine and now the patch said "YOU ARE SAFE".
I noticed that I lost the recovery mode. ie. When I go to CWM manager ---> Recovery ---> Reboot into ClockWorkMod recovery, the tab gets stuck on samsung logo with these horizontal lines. (Same thing with Power on + Volume up )
What Should I do please ? Flash again 2.3.3 ?
Thanks in advanced.

Problem resolved. Reflashed 2.3.3 again.
Sorry to bother.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN. Flashing bootloader is practically the only way to BRICK the tab beyond repair except by sending to samsung. What you did btw was downgrade the bootloaders of your tab which is an extremely risky business.
THE GB bootloaders are signed yes but are not secured and they are needed for GB to boot making that patch pointless since kernels and mods can be installed whether bootloaders are signed or not.

Try not to flash bootloader. But some kernels will distort the boot screen. CM7 an to MoDaCo kernels for example for this, but it's nothing to worry about.

Darkpal,
It's working fine now. I got confused with Overcome 2 installation guide where it says to check bootloader and apply the patch.
Am I safe now?

Hi tupo05

How did you re-flash?
My Pc (ODIN) doesn`t find the Tab so how should i be able to reflash?
Thanks

Hi,
In my case, i was able to go to download mode and therefore the tab was recognized in Odin. So I just re-flashed 2.3.3 again following Chainfire thread in the Dev section.
SGT Running Overcome 2.0.0 RC1

Hi
Thank you so much. My Tab is running again :-D.
Which Overcome How-To do you use?
Thanks again

I noticed that sometimes I had to go in the PC device manager and delete the drivers for the tab and let Win 7 find and load them again, and as soon as that's done ODIN finds the tab and I was able to reflash. I "soft bricked" my tab about 6 times trying different ROM's and Kernals, and even an app or two. I found this practice of deleting and reloading the drivers the only way to save the tab.

Golotab,
I'm happy you're up and running again. For Overcome, just follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074759
it's very easy. Just don't patch the bootloader because you are already on 2.3.3
Good luck

Hi, I am facing the same situation. I just hope someone can clarify for me.
Instead of refresh 2.3.3 back, can I just follow the line (quoted) for OVERCOME??
After Overcome, can I flash MIUI ROM???
Thanks in advance.

Yes you can. Restock then flash overcome.
If you are already on overcome, you can flash Miui on the top (because you are already on ext4 system)

[Q] How to Root without changing anything?

Title says it all.
I'd like to root my galaxy note to remove bloatware as well as to install root only apps. How do i do that while keeping my stock ROM? Is there a way to root without having to install a different ROM?
Appreciate anyone's help with this.

depends on what stock rom version you are running

Thank you for your reply.
Would this picture help identifying which ROM I'm using?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
scroll down until you hit: I have Kernel KK1/KK2/KK3/KK4/KK5 - Download This - and Extract that's for root+cwm.
if you only want root, then use zergrush method
Inspired from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1319653

it's all on that thread, first post.

Thank you so much!
Before doing this i have some noob questions please.
Will i be able to unroot in a later date while still keeping the same stock ROM? Also, does unrooting puts the phone back under warranty or once rooted the warranty is voided permanently?

You can regain warranty by putting back Stock ROM anytime (you have to just flash Stock ROM with PC Odin)

Great! I just finished rooting. How can i save my stock ROM to flash it back in need? Or is it available somewhere and i just need to download it? I'm asking because i checked the thread with the stock ROMs and the one for my country isn't included there. Maybe if i know how o can help the community by posting it in that thread? Thank you!

reboot into cwm recovery, and do a nandroid backup. Dr. Ketan's thread says it all, really

Checked Dr. Ketan's thread. it has great info and a lot of helpful things but I couldn't find how to backup the complete phone to regain warranty by restoring when needed. maybe I overlooked it?
does a nandroid backup saves the kernel and modem and everything? or just the ROM?
sorry, noob here, who knows, maybe one day i'll be developing and adding some value to this community
Thank you guys for the help! very much appreciated!

Not quite, as most flash methods would increase the binary counter.
Re-flashing a stock kernel would only get rid of the yellow triangle.
There are ways to reset the binary counter, but he would need to make sure that his binary is at 0 (NO) to be 100% sure he will get warranty service

My answer was in reply to warranty back for rooted device, not raised counter.
N correct first line not most of method raise count. It is-
Any custom rom/kernel if flashed with pc odin that only raise counter.

To get warranty just flash back to a stock ROM it.wont raise the flashing count because it's an official rom

question is: how do i get back my stock ROM as i don't see it in the stock ROMs thread. I'm located in Morocco and using Meditel Galaxy Note. That's why i asked about how i can make a full backup of my ROM, kernel, baseband and everything to flash them when i need to regain warranty services.
Thank you guys!

try check fus Downloader
it has most of the KIES firmware available.
using it mainly since my first Galaxy S when i'm too lazy to hunt for custom roms and want to stay able to update with KIES

You can do it after getting root only, get root + CWM
Then with cwm you can backup.

My apologies- I just wanted to point that out.
Furthermore, of course flashing a stock kernel would not raise the counter and get rid of the yellow triangle, but if they hypothetically checked the binary counter and it was not at NO, then they could refuse warranty coverage for service AFAIK. Re-flashing a stock kernel will not reset the binary counter if it is above 0

I am not disagree, you are right. raised counter will not solved by flashing stock rom. That needs jig i know.
But i want to convey that your reply to my quote was misleading.
Actually someone have asked me, does unrooting can regain waranty? Or rooting voids my warranty permanently?
For that i said just reflashing stock rom will unroot n warranty will b regained.
That case there was not a question of raised counter.

Are you on stock kernel? If so then flash some safe kernel and try full wipe, if that too doesn't help, then flash stock firmware using pc odin.
I am assuming you are on ICS, as you didn't provide any info. You should have mentioned the method used for root and everything.

Take it to a samsung service center and ask them to reset the phone. Tell them its too slow after the latest update using kies. If there is a problem with the motherboard they will report back and replace under warranty.
Else they will install the OS completely new and you can start from scratch to root and install other custom roms.

Try using USB jig to go to download mode, try it first. Jig is not expensive.

No it's not bricked. Yes you lose your warranty, but you can unroot your Note. Don't warry Note is so good phone, that you don't need warranty

Then if it's not bricked why i need to remove the battery for 1 hour and wait an other 2 hours to finally open my phone after a simple turn off? Thats why i want the warranty so i can take the phone to samsung and fix this issue. And im afraid to unroot it cause when ever i try to put my phone on recovery mode its stucks and take for ever to open againm\

[Q] No Display after installing a wrong stock firmware

Good Day
Sorry I know this is stupid of me but I just messed up. I kinda installed the wrong stock firmware on my GT-N7000, recovery mode is still accessible and it still boots (somehow), so as what I have read, I can still fix it by loading the correct firmware for it, and so I managed to install XXLSZ update for GT-N7000 hoping that it would fix the problem (and I did not), recovery can still be accessed (but no display) and I can still switch to download mode (and as what I assume, there is still hope).
I tried to search for correct infos in my case but I just do not know what to do anymore (and these anxiety attacks are really painful).
Sorry for being incompetent but would somebody be able to help me on getting out of my problem?
Thank you very much.
P.S.
I do not know if this is a sort of brick but it might be a software problem
I AM GOING CURAZEH!

try a stock rom which has bootloader included like the stock XXLSZ german rom.. check if the rom you flashed earlier has a sbl file in it. open the md5 file using 7z and you can check.

What does Odin have to do with flashing a Custom ROM?
Under Flashing ROM you can find the instructions.
You must have CWMR to do this. Here are the instructions for downloading and installing CWMR.
Make sure your phone is rooted.

Hey changing baseband wont work, i wont recommend you to change your baseband. You mite end up into hardbrick or no network problems.
Try install another rom first (try any)
