Any help with this? I rooted & installed CWM on my Wildfire with no issues, but it seems like this phone's a tough nut. Can't start it up now, screen keeps flickering if I try to turn it on, don't think it can even boot up.
Your prompt reply is much appreciated!

Okay so first I downloaded the OPS, Gingerbread firmware and ODIN. Then I installed Kies for drivers, and then I opened ODIN, inserted the OPS and Gingerbread firmware file, started the process.
Somehow when it came to the reboot part, the phone just kept rebooting (screen lights up, turns off, pause, repeats again) and it hasn't worked since.
Then now there's an error with setup connection which presumably has something to do with the drivers, so I reinstalled it but now setup connection keeps occurring...
Okay, now, I tried doing the whole process again... I'm stuck at 'Close serial port and wait until rebooting' as the phone constantly flickers on and off repeatedly with no sign of anything going on.
Somebody please help :/
Still the same?
Firmware from Sammobile.com?
Wait...prob is while installing cwm or GB?
Are you using the right version of odin,i think it's 4.31...?

Yup, 4.31, TASS v1.0 as OPS. S5570DXKPD_S5570OLBKPD for the firmware.
Problem now is I think the flashing works.. but somehow, the phone is somehow corrupt in a way that boot is not possible - nothing's possible except download mode.
I haven't played around with Samsungs, mostly HTCs so this is uncharted territory for me.

Yup, firmware from Sammobile.com. Problem is while installing GB. Will trying to install CWM first at least alleviate some of the problem?
In fact... I can't even boot into the original recovery. All that happens is the phone boots... and goes into an insane loop. Can't do anything else other than that.
Thanks guys..
download again the firmware Nd retry.. till downloading mode works you are safe.. in general section FAQ post there is link and guide

Check for Tass_ops file sometimes it might be a possibility that ur using a wrong one.

Doing that right away.
Is it normal for the phone to flicker on and off during the flash process, and after the flash process is complete, with ODIN showing PASS?
Okay, so installing a multi package firmware didn't work either. Now what. )': at wit's end here.
It won't flicker.
And when it's done it'll show pass.
While in download mode, Odin shows connected rite? A yellow box Appears?
Hello xda developers
I am wondering if someone can answer a few questions i have about rooting my samsung note?
I'm in Australia and just got my note with vodafone on Saturday. I have been doing some searching in the dev section and I haven't found my kernel version (2.6.35.7-N7000BDULB3-CL977082) to download from dr.ketan I have also searched for it on sammobile.com with no luck also.
So from the above statement does anyone know where i can get a copy of it from or know how i can backup mine from my phone atm?
I have found a root solution however It is for the GT-N7000 model which is at rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-method-2odinheimdall
If I followed this above method would I end up bricking the phone as the phone version are different? I found nothing on a search when comparing the two
Sorry for an the essay of a post too.
Looks like you're the only guy in the whole wide world with the exotic N7000BDULB3 GB, mate.
https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=N7000BDULB3&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Anyway, you can always flash and root and older Rom, then upgrade to whatever you want whilst keeping your root. Here's a little guide to downgrading and rooting I wrote some time ago, hope it helps.
You'll have a rooted KK9 rom after you're done. Then you can download any new GB version (LC1 is the latest) from here and flash it with Mobile Odin, with Everroot and Inject Superuser options ticked. That will keep your root.
Good luck.

Thanks so much, and your posts are one of the easiest to follow and gives a great head start for noobs! Great Job really!
I used this method and now I see a yellow triangle.
1. Will this yellow triangle during boot up, disappear if I follow your unroot method?
2. Will my phone can be updated to ICS once Samsung officially provides upgrade to ICS for Galaxy Note?
3. I tried SetCPU, the phone became very hot, when I over clocked and it just hang. I brought it back to normal.
4. What are all the other useful, important things we can do after root, other than installing Titanium Backup etc.

This might be a stupid question chasmodo so bare with me.
With the KKA firmware when extracted I get the 2 files like you said the .tar.md5 and the dll file.
In odin do i just select the .tar.md5 file under the pda option? or do i have to put the dll file in an option as well.

Do you have Sammy drivers installed on your PC? This is important. From Dr Ketan's guide:
"Install Kies on your computer, connect your phone and make sure that all the drivers installed correctly."

I Just Bricked My Samsung Galaxy Ace - I Switch it On and It Shows Samsung Logo Forever and Im Stuck There. I Can Still Access Recovery and Download Mode Though
If Im Not Wrong, I Bricked It By Deleting Certain System Files, Is There A way to Restore The System Files via Download Mode or Recovery Mode ?
* I Deleted Samsungbootloop.qmg, And The Next time I Booted, This Happened. Could it Be A Cause ? I've Read other Forums About this File, and It Seems Like it Doesnt Brick the Phone If Deleted
Btw, My Phone Model Is GT-S5830i
U only shot is to flash through odin dont worry nothings wrong yet ...your phone is not even close to being bricked try rom manager and report rom manager is the best brick tool out there
Flash Through Odin ? You Mean Flash My Stock Firmware?
Try Rom Manager ? But I Cant Even Use The App on My Mobile?

Doesnt Matter, I Only Used My Phone For Abt 3 Wks Now... No Important Infomation Inside
Haha Cool! Got Odin v1.85 Working on My Computer, Just Wondering About The Firmwares... Does CSC and PDA Matter ?
So I've Connected My Phone To The Computer, While My Phone Is In Download Mode. My Computer Cant Seem to Install the Driver, Can I Still Use Odin ?
*Sorry I know I Ask Alot Of Qns, But I Just Wanna Be Extra Careful
No problem its good to be careful than be sorry
No u cant proceed until odin shows that "yellow box " .
About your pc not recognizng your phone you should have the samsung usb drivers ull find them at samfirmware.com
And also when u use odin u must "run as admin " or "run as vista executable( i hope u have seen some odin tutorial ) first keep odin open then connect your phone
I m sorry for the late replies...i know how excited/ sad u are ..please bear with me
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB
I dont know about csc and pda . Whenever i flashed it was always a " one package " file ...google it ...dont worry u cant brick your phone via odin unless you flash a rom not meant for your phone xD

Lol Wow I Did Google Before I asked, Just That They Gave me A Bunch Of Stuff That my Brain Couldnt Comprehend
So Now, I Have Downloaded The Stock Firmware and It Seems Like There is Only One File, Unlike In Tutorials Which Have the CSC PDA MODEM File. So I Dont know How to Use The File in Odin.
I Have Seen Tutorials Where The Stock Firmware Consist Of One File Like Mine Also, Where They Input That One Big File Into The PDA Slot. However Mine Doesnt Seem To Work.
There Could Be Afew Outcomes While Flashing that One File into PDA with Odin ( The message in Odin, Telling me what it is doing currently)
1. Setup Connection... ( And Then Stucks There )
2. Flash Failure
Mind Helping Me Abit, Seems Disastrous Lol.. Much Thanks
I think yours is a "one package " file ...there is an option in odin ..tick it and navigate to the file

In that mode (secondary download mode) you should be able to flash if Odin detects.
Sometimes you need to keep trying until suddenly Odin detects it, and flash away.

Hi priyana,
I do have the same problem with my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 and I am getting the same screen.
Did flash my device with Odin but the wrong something cwm10.x , forgot which one I used (well done I know )
It is a Vodafone (Germany) Galaxy Tab 7 (GT-P1000).
May I ask some questions:
What do you mean with "flash it away" what do you suggest him to use for flashing?
What is it? A Recovery? A Bootloader ...? And where can one find/get it?
Stupid questions - I got confused while reading thousands of threads on different websites...
But anyway, I would be thankful if you could point me to the right file I could use to flash on my Galaxy Tab ...
Thanks
Hi Hotstart,
I mean flash a stock ROM in Odin once Odin see the tab.
One good complete ROM is gb-stock-save-v5 that Team Overcome packed together.
Follow my signature.
There is that and a PDF guide, you need the page 7 of it for what to put in Odin.
Not for ruthlessbeatle, as this is for GSM P1000 only.

Hi priyana,
thank you for your advice!
Currently I am stuck because in the middle of the flashing process the tab switched off maybe due to a low battery.
But is starting with the secondary download screen again - so I am hoping to be able to load it bit better for the next try.
Will let you know whatever outcome there will be.

Help me out guys i really need save my phone.
i have been trying to update my 2.3.6 to 4.3 (Jellybean) through Odin since I always got some weird stopping at 69% on Kies, but i seemed to fail on odin, Odin was failing to do it so i tried other odin ver and got stuck on the ''NAND Write Start'' thing, i exited odin and then tried something else i'm very stupid so i used a pit for the wrong version of my android to..help in whatever it was i dont remember, together with the ROM.
i didn't check if my phone was aleadry bricked after i force closed odin in patching in the first time so i don't know the root of the problem.
and i don't know if this is Soft or full brick but i get stuck at Firmware Upgrade encountered a issue, Kies does not help in it when i type the cellphone info into that option, it gives me a error so no way through kies. i didn't do any way yet to try to save it i'm really unsure what to do i checked really a bunch of different posts so its really confusing, i really get in panic when stuff like this happens so forgive me, i hope anyone can help in somehow, also, if better i need to save it in a way without having to wipe my stuff because most of my apps data are in the phone, but i dont mind if theres no other way than using wiping in one of the steps.
i don't really know how to follow if you link me over a thread so its better if you post the explanation here.

and i don't know if this is Soft or full brick but i get stuck at Firmware Upgrade encountered a issue, Kies does not help in it when i type the cellphone info into that option, it gives me a error so no way through kies. i didn't do any way yet to try to save it i'm really unsure what to do i checked really a bunch of different posts so its really confusing, i really get in panic when stuff like this happens so forgive me, i hope anyone can help in somehow, also, if better i need to save it in a way without having to wipe my stuff because most of my apps data are in the phone, but i dont mind if theres no other way than using wiping in one of the steps.
i don't really know how to follow if you link me over a thread so its better if you post the explanation here.

You must do factory reset when you go from GB to JB. That is why you get a bootloop probably.
So to make it short situations is like this:
1. You had problem with Kies
2. Tried with Odin and got force close of odin in Windows?
3. Retry with Kies with same ending
So what Windows do you use? Do you use 8? I read some had problem with Odin and 8.x. Did you use Odin 3.0.x?

Yeah, forced closed odin 2 times, kies like stopped and disconnected everything on 69% leaving only the android on downloading screen but that didnt brick it, i use windows 7, odin 3.09 only gave me fails so i used 3.07 where it got stuck on nand thing.
also, any ways to backup things even though the thing is bricked? i can go to download mode fine and i think i can go into recovery too (never tried it on this phone)

Your internal data (on internal SD) will be there, but Factory reset will delete your apps and its data.
Or try to flash GB with ODIN and see what happens.

It is probably soft, you can go to Odin. Way to unbrick it is to flash stock firmware with Odin - like you did. Find GB firmware and flash it with odin like you did.

If your phone is I9070 then use firmware for I9070, if it is I9070P use I9070P firmware. If you miss this you will hardbrick phone, and not be able to use Download mode.
And do not use Hong Kong firmware.
sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com are sites where you can find firmwares.
You were on custom ROM when you did update with Kies?

Use region next to you, I am using Italian and I am from Serbia. I do not know if you will get nand write error, you should not get it in first place. Maybe something is wrong with it...

I am not 100% sure about that. Maybe try other ODIN versions. But I used 3.0.7 without problem. Search for nand write problem to see what is it about.
P.S. Redownlaod firmware maybe, is it the same size as shown on the page when you started download?

Yeah um it was, as i said Odin 3.09 only failed while 3.07 got stuck in nando. isnt there someone that knows about that nando thing? i readed alot but i dont think i can really find a good answer.
alright so, downloaded a 2.3.6 firmware, i download which odin? i do need download that ''odin tools'' from that link you linked me ? because it has a very old ver of odin but skipping that it has a PIT file that i dont really know what it is for.

Follow the whole procedure from that thread. Except the part of 16GB version, if you do not have one.

I am not sure if that method formats internal storage. And if you get adb shell you could do it with command or with total commander with adb plugin (for that go to my profile, to all threads I started and you will see one about it).

Odin. Like you did now, just with JB firmware for your I9070 model (P or non P, if you miss that you will hard brick, for example if you flash P firmware on non P phone, and otherwise).
Just follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398
Simple as - put firmware in PDA, hit flash. And check if you have unchecked/checked as it is written there.
Probably Kies was the problem, because that nand write error. He messed up, and now this fixed it.
