You could read Dr Ketan's guide in Development a couple of times and then explain properly what you're doing if you're still struggling.

i already try Easy rooting toolkit and after my note reboted i see that nathing happand
from what i undestand i need to use "Get root access on Newer GB ROM (non rootable directly)" ?
if yes so
"fter updating to newer ROM, you can flash CF root kernel from here
according to newer ROM kernel. And Flash it using Mobile Odin OR CWM."
my kernal is not listed there ,can i use LB1 ?

anyone. ..?
anyone pls

Could you post the details of your device? Go to Settings and About phone.

Your ROM is non rootable
You have following option
-Flash Pre rooted ROM, and update to existing ROM with Mobile Odin / CWM
-If you want to switch to ICS, flash it after wiping device and Root it.
Guide you can find on same link sahil have suggets you.

He wrote earlier LB2 kernel thats enough to decide.

about my option
about my option
1)after i flash pre rooted rom how can i update to my rom ?
2)what is the option to wipe ? it delete the all device ? becouse if yes how can i put custom ics,if there is nothing on the device ?

1. After flashing Pre rooted ROM you will have CWN
How to use is depend on which custom ROM you want to flash
For stock ROM this is the way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20963730&postcount=3
2.Don't understand what you want to ask

about option number 2
the second opion seem to bee more easy than the first one
my Q is : the option wipe is like format in computer ? and using after that with odin is like to boot with bootable cd with os in computer ?

No, Format in computer requires to Install OS.
Here wipes means your device will reboot to factory set. Means everything will be there except stuff you have installed manually.

IMHO=In My Humble Opinion (just in case you were wondering what it meant)
Follow dr.Ketan's advice,a1shay1.
First root successfully,play around with simple things(stock,safe stuff) then think of modding.
Its very very easy,(believe me) to turn your Note a simple,humble paperweight.

suggest
A friend just suggest to root with
I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar
And then to put the stunner from sd card

stil not good

For future reference, don't perform any wipes under re packed kernel, they have the bug. There shouldn't be a need for these re packed packages anymore steer clear of them. Don't do wipes or nandroid restores under ics kernels AT ANY TIME or you risk bricking.

Got into something like this yesterday, this is what I did.
Downgrade to GB via ODIN and later go to recovery and flash abyss kernel, then wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik cache.
Then, flash the rom of your choice.
Remember, to take a backup through Nandroid or titanium backup.

Downgrade from ics to gingerbread.
1. Download any stock or pre-rooted gingerbread rom. ( you can easily find at dr.ketan or bodivas thread.)
2. Open pc odin and connect you devices with pc/laptop.
3.After get conneted, press pda button and choose the ginger rom file ( choose the biggest size file about 800mb ++).
4. Press start and wait until finished.
Remind: only press the pda button and choosing the right file. Other boxes must leave it untouch.

1) Do you do full wipe while install v9 ?
2) Are you successfully booted into v9 after the u pulled out the battery and restart?
3. What is the status of your phone now? Is better do nothing and let other member clarify and give you proper method of guide.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Im not sure what happened during you upgrade to v9 and why redcwm will appeared before you flash it.
1) Abyss 4.2 original/custom is a gingerbread kernel, im assuming you at abyss kernal, therefore your phone 100% wont able to boot into ics base rom.
2) Im assume now you cant flash any kernel, no matter what kernel thru cwm. Then you should flash ics rooted kernel thru pc odin. ( no need to worry about the binary count and yellow triangle).
Please report back. Other member will be glad to help you.

If you can get into recovery then why don't you just restore the back up. your phone will cone back to the original state. but the point is can you reboot to recovery. don't worry about bricking on GB.

But he did mentioned never flash gb kernel during ugrade to criskelo v9. But why redcwm appear? ( he did mentioned able too boot into recovery mode)
According to his report, i think he might lost full root. ( because the flashing kernel proccess get stucked at all. ) if doing nand restore at this stage might having some risk. ( maybe).

Wht i understand is you want to flash a custom ICS rom on your note.
First of all..
Get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Stick with the instructions.
After doing this you will have root+cwm installed on your lovely note.
Now download Abyss 4.2 from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424
Now download custom ics rom from android development section and put it in your phone sd card or external card.
Reboot into recovery.
Flash abyss 4.2
Go to advanced and reboot recovery.
Now you have abyss redpill recovery or touch cwm.
Do all 3 wipes. Cache, Dalvik and data.
Flash rom
Reboot system

Criskelo ICS v9 trouble
Hi,
I installed criskelo v9 on my phone just now..and titanium backup doesnt work..it says i do not have root permissions
now all my apps are on it and the phone is pretty pointless without it..
I tried installing abyssnote and franco kernel just to see if it works but the update gets stuck at "installing packages" and then reboots to system to the earlier settings..
the cwm i have right now is also not the touch version and my kernel is cf-root so i do not know if i should be reflashing criskelo directly on this to check for any difference..
PLease tell me what i need to do..I am lost and could not find anything after an hour of googling

I followed the instructions to the T.. Root permissions didnt happen..Here's what i did..
1. Downloaded CWM and busybox and placed them where he said
2. Booted into recovery and installed CWM
After this the UI didnt change to the touch UI as he indicated but was still the button UI
3. ANyway went ahead and installed busybox from the zip
Here the progress was stuck at "unmounting system" till the phone reboot itself to the system..And i still dont have root permissions as per titanium..

Hi, what i really want is root permission so i can use criskelo as my ROM..I was using gb (checkrom v6 with abyss) till now and thought of upgrading to ICS...if i get root permissions i can restore my apps using titanium and my problem wil be solved..titanium is currently saying i dont have root permissions and not restoring my apps...
Of course i will want to change kernels too to mix and match my requirements with battery life later on...
If your desire is to just get rooted, then download the Abysskernel touch zip file* : http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.zip
Saved it in your external SD card and install it using Recovery Mode
After that, your phone should restart and check after if you have SU(Superuser) and CWM installed. If you do have it.. Rest assured your phone is already rooted.

Thats where the problem is..i have tried installing that file multiple times..it gets stuck at "installing update" and reboots into the system..
Within the phone i already have CWM (as the app) in my phone but it says it cannot work coz i need cf-root v5 or newer for it to work...can i use the LRG file as given in this forum to change the kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
file name : CF-Root-SGN_XX_DBT_LRG-v5.6-CWM5 (i had chosen the LRG modem while installing criskelo v9)
Are there different kernels for ICS and GB and maybe im trying the wrong file?
Also right now all i want is the root..but i also wanna be able to rollback to gb later and try other roms as per my convenience if i dont like criskelo..so any guidance keeping that in mind for the future will b much appreciated
Thanks..

What is your current ROM now? stock DXLRG? if it is, yes you can flash that kernel on your link (using mobile odin pro). Try to check back after thru CWM if it still gives you the same message or not.
Yes, there are different kernels solely for ICS only and also solely for GB alone. Don't make a mistake in mixing a GB kernel to your ICS Rom or else your phone gets fried.

The exact problem on my phone (id mentioned earlier too) is that its like its semi-rooted..things like cpuspy etc work..but titanium backup and moble odin dont..my main motive is to have titanium working so i can use the phone normally..
Now i see that criskelo has just launched v10.1 of the same ROM which has solved the semiroot+wifi issue..download is in progress and It wud be great to know how i can move on to that now..
Abyssnote kernel is not installing (stuck at "installing update" ) and as per my knowledge the phone isnt rooted (coz titanium backup and mobile odin dont work)..
Can i rollback to prerooted gb (i have this file: Rooted_Stock_Odex_N7000DDLB2 - nonwipe gb ROM) via PC odin to initiate the whole process again under present circumstances?
Whole process here meaning *prerooted gb+abyssnote kernel+criskelo v10.1 install*..
PS - i did all wipes while installing the present ROM (if it matters)..
Yes, you have what we call it here as a semi rooted phone. Not getting all the permissions to access system files inside. It's a good thing though that Criskelo has a new version to his ROM and that should be appropriate in installing it.
Can you rollback to pre rooted GB? Yes you can. Just pick the appropriate GB ROM. And oh by the way bud, stay clear on fully wiping your phone... Remember your walking in a thin line here when your flashing Custom ICS ROMs...
Just a heads up, that's all.
Cheers!

thanks a lot for the quick response
just a final query..i dont have abyssnote on my phone now..i have whatever criskelo v9 gave me by default (i chose cf-root during install) and im semi-rooted..
Under these conditions can i go ahead with installing the prerooted gb ROM that i mentioned?
and about the heads-up (sorry im still new to flashing ) do u mean i shudnt be wiping everything when i do the flash to the prerooted gb now? (the ROM i have is a no-wipe ROM as i said earlier)
Thanks again

first, let's tackle your second question. If your on Criskelo ICS now, please under NO circumstances, YOU DO NOT FULLY WIPE your phone before going back to the pre rooted GB. There's a bug circulating around the forum and it's called the SUPER BRICK BUG. It'll fry your emMC chip (on your phone) thereby making it as a dead paper bag. There are countless of folks here already that have succumbed to the bug. Most have returned their dead phone back to Samsung Repair for an exchange on the motherboard. That is how deadly this bug can sting your phone.
So stay away from it. (It's better late than never, mind you)
on your first question,
Use PC Odin to downgrade to a pre rooted GB one. That's it.
Cheers!

whoaa!! thank god i didnt do that!!!
as a beginner, im gonna take it as a thumb rule then to use PC odin whenever i have to change ROM from any custom ICS to any other ROM and stay away from recovery mode..once im on prerooted gb thru PC odin i can do what i desire...that shud keep me safe i guess

Did you get rooted installing busybox su? I think you have partial root.
Install busybox from playstore and open it. Press install button. It should be fine.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App
to check if you are fully rooted copy and paste in root / system...install busybox that helped me on ics roms then once your fully rooted flash a safe kernel ..dafuq , speedmod etc then flash new rom . dont do any wiping til on a safe kernel and read instructions fully
@All
Thanks for the your responses
This is what i did after getting some doubts cleared over here:
I rolled back to a prerooted ODEX gb ROM..and installed rocketrom for now..gonna use it for a while and check how people are finding criskelo v10.1..Once im satisfied with that gonna go ahead with flashing it..
Thanks again :good:

HELP! First hours with Note

Hope to not disturb, today my Note arrived, so right now i got 4 hours with it. Impressions?!? You all know, is a great device.
So, since this morning i start reading and reading, but are alot of infos here, i lose some and i become confuse, so i will need some help in my order questions.
My build number is GINGERBREAD.XXLA6 (i understand users with it can easily brick the device), so here all my questions:
PS: Please post links too:
1- first step is to root and install cwm (how and link please), or i need to flash a new kernel to be sure my device will never be bricked (how and link please)?
2- after i flash custom kernel and install a new rom, i can make wipe all from custom recovery? After that danger situationto brick it will be forever gone?
3- i would like to unlock the sim network, it is working and it is safe?
4- i know about warranty, but i suppose i can allways go back to stock (i need stock kernel too or only rom?)
Dont know what to ask more, users who will read and write, please, write ALL STEPS, 1by1, from first to last, what i need to do, this phone was a big effort for me to buy it, without any jokes.
Thanks in advance!

As long as you are on GB kernel, you are safe to wipe.
1. Check my sig. for excellent rooting guide by Dr.Ketan (post #3 for LA6), it will help in installing cwmr too.
2. You can wipe on any of the safe custom ICS kernels (if you flash custom ICS rom) just do not wipe on stock ICS kernels.
3. check galaxy_S unlock in play store to unlock, I dont think it is unsafe to do it (except some carrier terms, may be)
4. Once you flash stock firmware you will be back to normal. flashing stock firmware will also change kernel to stock.
I would suggest read a lot before doing anything as flashing custom roms, kernels or modding always include some risk.

No prob, and by the way, why don't you simply flash pre-rooted GB rom (look for it in my sig.), it is already rooted and includes CWM recovery too. All you have to do is to just flash it and then flash any custom rom of your choice using cwm recovery.
Reason why I suggested flashing pre-rooted GB is that your rom seems to be non directly rootable and I think only option is to flash pre-rooted rom. (atleast as per my understanding)

Well i think this i`m doing.
Right now i download SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS (GB Pre rooted ROM)
After that, since that pre-rooted rom have root, i can install cwm right?
Then i want to install an custom kernel and ICS rom (i think ics 4.0.4 is the best option for now, 4.1.1 i suppose it have bugs, i saw they are started only) -> that i asked you what is the best kernel and rom so far (ics)
Hope i`m doing good steps here
Update your phone the official way ie go into settings/about phone/ and your phone should update to ics. Then flash notecores kernal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863 using odin then your good to go i personally find this rom the besthttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088 but every1 has diffrent opinions depends wat u want.

If you choose to flash pre-rooted GB rom, then no need to install cwm separately, as it already includes cwmr, you just have to choose some custom rom and flash it using cwm recovery.
I was about to suggest you the other method of updating to stock ICS first and then rooting but it will take more time and it is of no use as your end motive is to flash custom roms

Well, i will chose the method proviced by kyleastley too, seems more easy this way.
1- I will update to stock ics
2- then flash custom kernel .tar via odin
3- root and install cwm (if the custom kernel include already, dont know)
4- install custom rom (from cwm) since i can wipe after
Is ok this way?
So many questions, sorry guys }{

Step 2 u can skip as its already done (dont know about root but definatly cmw) u wil not need root anyway as u can power down phone and reeboot into recovery via 3 button trick.
May i add step 6 install triangle away from play store as it will remove the triangle At boot as u flashed a kernal using odin.
As allways read and read again as uay already know that this phone has the brick problem but if u do everything by the book u will b ok.

That's is completely fine if you want to go this way , step 1 and 2 are okay but step 3 not required as flashing custom kernel via odin will root and install cwmr. You will get yellow triangle and custom binary count by flashing custom kernel, which can be reset using triangle away. check rooting guide in my sig, once you are on stock ICS or ask here.
Checked above post after I posted mine, seems like its getting confusing here, okay so once you are on Stock ICS you have two methods to root and install cwmr,
1. once you are on stock ICS just flash some custom kernel using odin, it will root your device and flash cwmr too, then use triangle away app to remove yellow triangle and reset binary count. (method 2 in rooting guide in my sig.)
OR
2. Once you are on stock ICS, follow method 1 in rooting guide in my sig. in this you can root using stock recovery and then can flash custom kernel using mobile odin, so no yellow triangle or custom binary count.

Good you clarify me
5% left from download and then i will flash the update to ics.
let me see if i understand, after update to ics i will flash a custom kernel via odin (this will have root and cwm too), i will restart the phone and install yellow triangle and reset binary count
then i must root using stock recovery as you say and install again a custom kernel since the yellow triangle doesnt show up anymore? or you want to say i can flash custom rom since the triangle dont show up? -> confuse!

And just want to make sure, are you downloading ICS rom or are you talking about percentage in kies?

No need to have root to flash custom kernel via odin, it will root it automatically.
Do you have Samsung drivers installed on your PC? If yes then try restarting your phone once again.

You don't have to remove yellow triangle to install custom rom, you can still do it. Traingle away is just to remove the yellow triangle and to reset binary count for warranty purpose. Yes, you can wipe now, as you are on safe kernel.
Download any custom rom, which you wish to install, put it in your SD, boot in CWMR , perform full wipe and then flash the rom .zip.

Problem wit galaxy note after change of the DPI

Hi All,
Hope I am in the good place to present my problem (i'm new in the forum and I'm just learning the "how to").
Yesterday I've rooted my Gnote (GTN7000 XXLPT - ICS just installed from OTA update). It was the paradise before i decide to instal "DPI change" ...
I set the DPI from 160 to 240 and then save + reboot ... Till that moment, my GNote stuck on the launching logo (Samsung Galaxy Note N7000).
I'm not an expert of Android (the proof ...) and I'm looking for the safest and easiest (step by step) solution to revive my GNote.
I know that XDA is an expert forum and therefore I please every of you that will see my request to help me ...
Ps: A part from the root I have applied no other manipulation on the phone (even the setup of the debuger mode).
Your kind help with this will be saving for me, given that there is no repair / after sale service available in my country.

I´d recommend flashing this kernel (HydraCore) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863
Kernel Installation
Install either through CWM or PC/Mobile ODIN in the usual manner. Wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache is unnecessary and wont make any difference. Flash only with 25% or more charge on the phone

If you had searched you would have known that you shouldn't use the app to change the DPI. Once you have reflashed a ROM or installed a new kernel, then use Rom Toolbox instead or edit the build.prop manually to change the DPI.

Dears,
Thanks a lot for all assistance with this. Google play will never lies me as long as XDA will be there !
From your various explanations I've drawn the process below (please confirm that my comprehension is correct):
1 - Download and install Mobile Odin (Please provide a link to the safest version); Dont know if Odin will see the phone since i've not activated the debuger mode when the phone parameters was accessible.
2 - Download and install Hydracore Kernel;
3 - Connect the phone on the PC and run Odin (at this step I am not sure to know what to do);
4 - Flash and enjoy (Hope I'll reach this step)
May be the procedure with CWM will be more practicable, especially in case Odin do not see the phone ... But I really not know how to handle it. That's the reason why I was asking a Step by Step assistance.
Thanks and Regards

You only use one of the two applications; Mobile Odin or PC Odin. You don't have to use them together. Since your phone doesn't boot, then I assume Mobile Odin is out of the question. I'm gonna write a quick guide to use PC Odin.
1- Download PC Odin from this link: http://ul.to/xt4607xx (you can search the forum, you will find many download links for Odin 1.85)
EDIT: Here's another link, the 1st one doesn't want to work anymore. http://k0nane.info/rom/odin-185.zip You can google "odin 1.85" and open the first link (it should be an xda forums attachment)
2- Download the standard tar file of the Hydracore 3.5 kernel from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863
3- Open PC Odin and click on PDA and choose your kernel tar file downloaded from step 2.
4- Remove all check marks and leave only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time CHECKED.
5- Turn your phone off and remove the battery and reinsert it.
6- Turn your phone on by pressing and holding the Power button + Menu button + Volume Down button (to get into Download mode).
7- Connect the phone to the USB cable and connect it to the computer. Odin should show a yellow box.
8- Press Start in PC Odin. The yellow box will turn green which means a successful flash.
9- Now you can wipe data safely (never wipe data using stock ICS kernel btw).
How is flashing the kernel going to solve the problem of a b0rked build.prop? Get out of here people.
The only solution to his problem is to flash a custom Rom.

Joey_oggie, thanks a lot for your step by step tutorial, it is realy clear now. I'll try it and revert to tou with the status of the phone.
Just a quick one, regardind the end of your post, you mentioned that I should not wipe a stock rom. My understanding is that stock rom = official samsung rom. Therefore it seems my rom was a stock one (GTN7000 XXLPT - rom updated from GB to ICS - OTA update), since I never change it.
Should I wathever do the wipe as mentioned in your post?

Hi Chasmodo,
I was just about to flash the Kernel of my GNote following Joey's + others advices above.
Please why do you think flashing the Kernel is not advisable? ... Do you think the phone will thereafter completely brick?
Please answer these two questions as quick as you can ... My finger is on the "red bouton" just waiting for you.
Could you also provide a link to a step by step tutorial in case the solution proposed by Joey is safe but comes unsuccessful ?
Thank you for your contribution.
Regards.
If your build.prop is corrupted/broken, flashing a new kernel won't fix it because it won't replace your build.prop.
As Chas said, the easiest fix would be to flash a custom ROM, as this will replace your build.prop.
Regards,
Dave

Well, to flash a new ROM, he needs to be on a safe kernel...
And anyway, I thought wiping data = factory reset. Isn't that right? If so, then wouldn't the wipe fix his problem? I'm new to this stuff so excuse me if that's completely wrong.

Well, from what I read, most (if not all) Samsung stock ICS kernels have a bug which would corrupt the data partition when you wipe on any of them. The problem would appear when you wipe ON them, and not wipe them.

Hi Chasmodo,
I was just about to flash the Kernel of my GNote following Joey's + others advices above.
Please why do you think flashing the Kernel is not advisable? ... Do you think the phone will thereafter completely brick?
Please answer these two questions as quick as you can ... My finger is on the "red bouton" just waiting for you.
Could you also provide a link to a step by step tutorial in case the solution proposed by Joey is safe but comes unsuccessful ?
Thank you for your contribution.
Regards.

I would wait till he replies to be on the safe side. In the meantime, try to burn some time and read some of the threads in the Note's android development section.

Also flashing the stock Samsung ROM would also solve the problem as it would replace the wrongly edited build.prop with the stock build.prop.
Assuming you have the stock ROM downloaded on your PC, flash it using PC ODIN as explained in an earlier post.
Everything downloading, installing and rooting the stock ROMs is explained here by Dr Ketan
Once that is done, you can root your stock ROM and install mobile odin. You can then flash any custom kernel which is safe and has the brick bug covered. Factory wipe using a safe custom kernel wont brick your phone then.
I am not sure if flashing a safe custom kernel and doing a factory reset would replace the faulty build.prop file with a stock one directly. Chasmodo could explain more....
Flashing a stock ROM would surely replace everything with stock. So you have a clean stock state from which you can play around (rooting, custom kernels/ROMS, etc)

And anyway, I thought wiping data = factory reset. Isn't that right? If so, then wouldn't the wipe fix his problem? I'm new to this stuff so excuse me if that's completely wrong.

Xda is full of instructions on how to use odin search it. Flashing a kernel won't fix your problem. Best to do as previously advised and flash a new rom, stock or custom either will do
AND DON'T PANIC take it slow and don't do anything before you understand the process your phone is currently in no danger what so ever but a faulty flash can definitely brick it

Thank you all,
Really hope that this issue will help all GNote users when solved. Sure we are approaching the solution ...
I read in Dr Ketan tutorial the following:
Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM
Yesterday, after my GNote freezed on the "Samsung Galaxy Note N7000" image I tried to hard reset by wiping user data via ICS recovery (just after rooting the phone with CWM.
Does it means that my GNote is now bricked?
If it is the case shoud I anyway continue to follow Dr. Ketan tutorial to flash my GNote with a stock rom?
Regards.

Very sorry to say buddy, your Note most likely is bricked. I hope I am wrong.
Try installing a stock ROM, preferrably Ginger Bread ROM via PC ODIN. If it fails, most likely, at FactoryFS write, then your phone is surely bricked.
Let us know how it goes, we can guide you further accordingly.

see if you can still go to download mode and reflash a stock GB on your device. If it's successful then your good to go... if not, then look for the thread here to revive a brick phone.. note down the errors your getting (if there are any errors at all) when your going to reflash it again.

You should try to put your Note in download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin.
You must flash the PIT file to repartition your phone's storage, chose the right one (16 or 32 Gb).
I am almost sure that your phone is soft bricked and it is recoverable.
If it don't work, thant mean that your have bad blocks in your phone's storage. Have you wiped your note while under ICS android ?
what rom were you on? if JB, try a factory reset.

You shouldn't be doing a reset on ICS stock at all.. Install Philz kernel for ICS and wipe data and cache.. When flashing a stock rom using odin, is it a success?

I have successfully flashed rom on my phone which is : N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS
My phone is now out of bootloop but now I face a different issue that I cant get my sim card work, it gives no signal and I noticed one more thing that IMEI of my phone is blank.
I went into recovery mode and it is still showing that efs error as it was showing before...
Any suggestion what should I try to fix this ?
So you never installed any rom or a custom kernel?

Look for a file on your storage named efs.autobackup.img. If nothing like that, check on this site http://www.cvxcvx.pl/en/podstrona-0/naprawa-efs-w-i9100-n7000/ for some instructions. Read carefully and proceed.

I followed the instructions provided by the manual ... after step 2 I get imei but after step 3 it get empty again.
Signals do come after step 2 but when I try to make some call it says "Not registered on network".
Looking forward to your reply.
i cannot help you in this case if there is no efs backup.. so.. you on your own..

Thanks for your help so far...
I currently have an imei but it is some random number starting with "004999" and I do get signals but cant make a call .. Do you know if there is some hope for me or not .. and what else I can try.
This is the developer imei. You may be able to make calls of you try a GB rom. Or there is one rom by ThaiDai which had some work around built into it. I don't know which one.
Else the site I mentioned earlier has contact info of cvxcvx. He can fix your phone remotely but by charging about 10 euros.
Need help for a bricked N7000
Hi guys,Im a complete newbie to the whole custom rom scenario. Yet, after being fed up of touchwiz on my N7000 i decided i wanted to taste some KitKat on my phone. After seeing many videos with positive reviews I thought it would be a rather easy process. But somehow I seem to have made a mistake and now my phone is stuck on Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 logo. I cant get into recovery mode as suggested on most places. As of now I only have access to the download mode but dont know what to do with it.
Here's what I tried doing :
1) I was on stock OS, and these are my specifics : Galaxy Note N-7000 running JB 4.1.2
Baseband version : N7000DDLS6
Kernel version: 3.3.31-906407
BUild number:JZO54K.N7000DDLSC
2) As I was following the procedure from Omnirom's official website, I first rooted my phone using Framaroot's single click root app. This gave me SuperSU app.
3) Then I tried installing TWRP recovery (recommended by Omni) but they dont support the N7000. I read a few other tutorials where it was stated the CWM recovery and that too Philz CWM recovery is the best to go with. Apparently it is just stock kernel with CWM recovery. Since the latest one(philz_touch_6.07.9-n7000) was not being installed, I installed the one before that which worked (PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.11.2-signed).
4) I even installed the ROM Manager as per the tutorial. However, uptil now I could access recovery mode ( Vol UP+Home+Power) and i saw the touch enabled philz recovery mode once. Then i did system reboot.
5)After reboot, this is where I did a mistake in my opinion. I opened ROM Manger and clicked on "open in recovery mode" option. Since then the phone is stuck on the Galaxy Note N7000 logo. Please help me revive the phone. Thanks in advance. Again, Im doing this for the first time and most terms are new to me. So please explain the procedure as other tutorials are not very clear.
You missed on reading the most important instructions.
Rom manager will not work with note. Recovery is built into the kernel on note and not as a separate partition.
Try harder to get into recovery mode. If you still can't, get the ddlsc Philz kernel tar version. Flash it using Odin. Then power off the device and boot into recovery. Then flash raw kernel. Reboot recovery. Flash omni and other required zips.

How do I do i install the kernel using ODIN? I can only access download mode and nothing else. I cant access recovery mode. Please help.
PhilZ kernel has two versions, zip and tar. Use the tar version to flash via odin.
