[Q] Won't boot up!

Hi
Just used the CyanogenMod Wiki tutorial to try and install ClockworkMod, however after downloading the kernel onto the device, it doesn't start up now. Doesn't flash into recovery or boot up at all, just keeps flashing the first "Galaxy S GT-I900" screen until you pull the battery. Any ideas on how to get my phone working again? Or at least what I might've done wrong?
Thanks!

I guess u flashed the wrong file. Try getting to recovery. Keep holding vol-up +home+ power till screen lights up. Then reflash ur ROM.
Else reflash a GB ROM with ticking partition via Odin.
Let me know if it helped

I can't actually get to recovery at all, I was trying to install recovery in the first place. I am only able to access the download via USB part.

Flash latest GB ROM via Odin, preferably pre-rooted, so that it has CWM recovery.
And when you flash, make sure u tick re-partition in Odin and use 512.pit file.
Hit thanks if helpful

^^ What he said, I just got an i9000 from a friend that is having the boot problem and I'm trying to fix it, but almost all of the links are outdated.

here is a recovery kit containing ezodin, ezbase rom, root kernel and .txt instructions, download, unzip, read and fash....any problems/queries post back here
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d382m2kyorzum16/ezbase recovery kit gb.zip
you will end up with a stripped rooted gb rom from which you can then go on to flash a custom rom

Did the flash go ok, did it boot up after initial room flash, and then did it bit after kernel flash?

The flash went well, it didn't boot up fully after the flash, it just rebooted and went to the battery charging screen

What do you want to flash? If you want to flash slim go to website and follow instructions, you will need to get a Cm9 nightly also, then base, essentials, and gapps, and get them onto your sd card, then do the flashing as per instructions on the website
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

i did the same thing when i flashed my first kernel. Your just bootlooping, this is no biggie. Also the CWM is packaged witht the kernel so thats why you cant get into it. Just flash CF root first this is the guide to get to CM9
1. root w/super1click OR Go and straight flash a kernel such as CF root via ODIN
2. flash ICS via CWM
3. Flash new Kernel like Devil from CWM
4. Sucess!

[Q] Flashing CM9,1

Well,
I have a Galaxy Note on hands trying to install CM9.1. It was with Official rom ICS 4.0.3. I flashed it without doing the 3 wipes, and after I flashed the rom i tried to wipe data/factory reset. Then the phone would turn off everytime. So, I tought it must be because I didn't flash, then I'm trying to go back to GB, like the tutorial we have in XDA, but I'm stuck at NAND Write Start! Cache.img, and it doesn't proceed, no error messages.
What should I do?
help!

was the 4.0.3 rooted? did you have CWM with kernel or did you use CWM.zip?

CWM.zip file is known to cause bricks. What kernel where you on? do you remember installing a custom kernel?

Any help to solve this hard brick?

Anyone? I need help
Really desperate here.

Installing a rom using temp cwm.zip could have done the trick to brick your phone. Anyhow. Could you paste the odin logs.

The stopping at "factoryfs.img" in combination with using the temporary recovery in cwm.zip is typical for a bricked device.
Please read hg42's thread for checking the bad sectors and for a workaround by repartitioning (this will exclude the bad parts from using it). But first check the eMMC with his method for errors and real confirmation of the brick.
A complete repair is only possible with a replacement of the motherboard by Samsung.

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?

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.

PhilZ kernel has two versions, zip and tar. Use the tar version to flash via odin.

Flashing stock firmware with Odin will not delete your data from SD card. You will probably need to do factory reset, it will delete your contacts, sms, apps... But stuff from internal and external sd will remain there.
You bricked it because 4.4.2 uses preload partition for a swap, and it is partitioned in different way. And on PA 3.69 is probably different.
Or ROM zip of PA was corrupted.

thankyou and one more question

You can't brick phone with clearing cache. Did you wipe system partition? Try to install same ROM that you had (if you had).
Give us a screenshot of Odin fail. What exactly happen. And what is the full name of md5 that you put in pda of Odin. Try different version of Odin too.

Ofcourse you shouldn't wipe system partition, system files are there...

ROM is fine. And you was on GB or JB before? If you was on GB then this problem you got is normal. You must be on JB (flash JB firmware) if you install JB ROM.
And again, if you get FAIL on Odin DO A SCREENSHOT AND POST IT HERE. To see what cause that fail. Left part of this screenshot is a log http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gkWcapOu2...gingerbread+s5570jpq8+samsung+galaxy+Mini.jpg

And no, you must install Firmware not, not ROM. Because you probably installed JB ROM over GB. That is why you do not have working recovery.

I've tried Philz, CWM and TWRP(which i normally use) the same problem with all recoveries.

what recovery are you using?
try flashing with odin 3.09 twrp 2.8.5.0 official .tar file.
then try any custom rom.
if your partition table would be messed up i belive your phone would be bricked.

try flashing with odin 3.09 twrp 2.8.5.0 official .tar file.
then try any custom rom.
if your partition table would be messed up i belive your phone would be bricked.

I suspect /system has become R/O (Read Only) So i cant install anything.

You may take a look here (without any warranties):

From my perspective: If you are still able to flash a working stock rom then the partition table most likely is ok.

Tried that. Didn't help. When I flash a ROM i check /system and it's empty. No matter what ROM, no matter which recovery
I don't think it's the PIT now. /system seems to be read only. How do I change the permissions via ADB?

Just wanted to say: I have the same issue now. It's not that critical as I have long moved on from this phone and only experiment, but same behavior here. Have tried many things to no avail (recoveries, ROMs, stock firmwares, etc.).

Anyway here's what i've been trying:
Recoveries: PhilZ, CWM, TWRP
Custom ROMS: well amost all there are...
Stock ROM
Tried repartitioning with PIT
Erasing NAND
I checked the permissions on /system and they are as they should be

I fixed it (not really sure how) ... i ran stock for a while and decided to try again. This time with CWM. Now all is good and i'm back on NAMELESS :good:

Fine, welcome back to the modern world! ☺
But it's sad that you can't tell what fixed the situation. Would have been good to know.

1. Flashed 4.4.4 nordic version of stock (I9305XXUFNL1_I9305DNFFOB1_I9305XXUFOA1) in ODIN, and let it complete with its setup-wizards and so forth
2. Flashed clockworkmod for i9305 (v. 6.0.4.5) via ODIN
3. I flashed nameless nightly 09.07.2015 in cwm and booted it (without gapps)
4. Rebooted back to recovery and installed tk-gapps.
5. Well everything works
BUT before i did that i did all kinds of stuff, like repartitioning with a PIT file and erased NAND in ODIN.
Not sure if the repartitioning and NAND erasure had anything to do with the success.
I still get the "unmount of /system failed no such volume" when flashing in CWM. But the difference between before and now, is that it actually puts stuff in the /system dir It didn't before. I'm too scared now to change the recovery, although i prefer TWRP. So i'll let CWM be.

Will try this procedure and report back. I think this should be moved to Q&A, though.
Edit:
Using CWM I was able to flash and boot NamelessROM, as well.
