Back up in CMW stuck at "bb" - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Last week I rooted my phone and flashed the Rocketrom v10 flashing the Abysskernel first, just to be 100% sure there couldn't happen anything, and then flashed the rom. Everything works with fine with it and I'm very happy that I begin to understand how flashing and so is on a Samsung device (with the emmc brickbug and stuff).
Now: I want to flash the CM10 ROM but I prefer to do a backup of this rom before I flash any rom again. I tried once and got into clockworkmod recovery (via Volume up, power and menu button pressed all at once) and tried backing up my rom there. That didn't seem to be a problem untill the whole progress bar had reached to almost 100% and there was written "bb" and got stuck on that screen for ages..
What could that be?
I thought I could try to make a backup using ROMmanager but there they ask me to flash clockworkmod recovery, and I don't know if that's a good idea, because the rom already has a CWM recovery in itself?
thank you very much!

If you are interested inflashing CM10,here is the detailed guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801686

when you were doing the back up you were probably on Notecore kernel right ?

Yes, thats right. Is that the problem? Because I thought it was a safe kernel from what I can back up and wipe without problem..?

That kernel seems to be laggy on cwn... Try speedmod k3 13.. Has fast cwm... Or hydracore which has the latest.
Also make sure u have enof space in ur storage

I have not been able to get the rom manager to work on my n7000:

So I could download hydracore or another safe kernel and immediate after that make a backup in cwm. Afterwards I'd have to do a fullwipe and after that I could flash for instance the paranoid android ROM? I dont need to installs another kernel to do these things right...just a safe kernel like hydracore?

I have a problem.
I tried flashing the hydracorekernel and it worked, than I tried backing upthe rom but it warned me I hadn't anough space, probably, and it continued the action and got stuck on system backup at "email.apk". So i pulled the battery to get the phone rebootedand free the sdcard space. But there it wentwrong: on the recovery CMW recovery that came with the hydracore kernel nothing happened when clicking 'reboot system now' to reboot the phone. It just showed me a screen with the rommanager logo and the version number of the cmw recovery, all the option (like choose zip from sd) dissapeared when clicking reboot but the phone didnt reboot.
What should I do now?
i dont have a backup on my phone yet, because I flashed hydracore to be able to backup my phone... I have these zipfiles onmy sdcard:
- abyskernel (I had it to be able to flash rocketrom)
- rocketrom zip
- paranoid android zip
- googleapps zip
- hydracore kernel zip
What should I do know?! My phone wontboot anymore, just because I wanted to back my rom up (and therefore flashed hydracore correctly)

as a rule you should never ever try flashing a kernel using CWM... that would tantamount bricking your phone.
If you can boot up still in Download Mode, You may need to downgrade back to stock GB first. Once your phone is in stock GB. Flash AbyssNote kernel to root your phone. By the way Abyss kernel is ONLY USE ON STOCK GB and NOT on any ICS ROM.
Once you have your phone rooted and in stock GB... follow the instructions on flashing back your RocketRom kernel (from the instructions in flashing on RocketRom's thread)
P.S. Not that I am against Hydra/NoteCore... but I am more confident in flashing SpeedMod on any custom ICS ROM. Not that it matters to you though, but I'm just saying it.

like I've said.. you can try whichever kernel you like.. but my personal preference is SpeedMod...I have nothing against HydraCore itself as I have tried it myself... and Yes SpeedMod doesn't have those 'magical elves and wizardry' that Hydra delivers... but what it can deliver is stability and peace of mind (at least on my part). You can gain confidence on a kernel when there's less (to none) issues it can bring.

Hmmm agree

[Q] Criskelo ICS ROM v2 install

hi there,
first off, im sorry for being a total noob.
i was trying to look for a full guide to install Criskelo ICS ROM v2.
i found an online guide from the site rootgalaxynote dot com
but its for the older version.
i was wondering if i can do this step but install using the V2 or follow the steps, install the older version then use clockworksmod to load v2?
once again, please accept my apologies as i have never touched an android in my life.. im so new, my note is still in the mail and i havent even received it yet.
Go the the development section find criskelo v2 and follow the instructions in the first post? Why go to another site when the instructions are right here

hi there,

From GB:
Install ics repack by chainfire via mobile odin-reboot-reboot into revovery-full wipe-install criskelo ics.

so before i run the steps above, i should install clockworkmods and titanium backup to backup my current rom and apps rite?
then i download the ics repack by chainfire and the criskelo v2 mod
then install mobile odin and install the mod?
Very simple as ABC.
First you use PC odin and flash a single file called chain fire repack.tar
This ROM is already rooted.
Boot up and install triangleaway1.25.apk
Copy your ROM to SDcard
Reboot to recovery using the CWM app in Your note
Wipe data.factory reset wipe the other one below the list. I forgotten the name
Wipe devalik cache from advance settings
Install the zip file called Criskelo or any other ROM from Sdcard.
Once you are done reboot and enjoy your new rom.

This does however increase the binary counter thus voiding warranty. By taking some extra steps you'll be able to upgrade to any ICS rom without increasing the binary counter.
What I did was I flashed one of the pre-rooted roms found in a thread in the dev section. After that I flashed the CF Root kernel for the rom I installed (I used the pre-rooted LA6 rom so I used the CF kernel for LA6).
Now you have full root and CWMR so you can flash any rom you like. For ICS roms, install Mobile Odin, flash the ICS LP1 repack, reboot to recovery, do a full wipe and install any ICS rom you want to try.
Pre-rooted stock roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
For CF-Kernel check step two "2. I Want ROOT + CWM" of this thread and download the appropriate files for the pre-rooted kernel you flashed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

To my knowledge Triangle Away only does exactly what is says, it will remove the yellow triangle after you've flashed a custom kernel through pc Odin and thus having triggered the binary counter. To my knowledge Triangle Away is not able to reset the counter though I could be wrong as I've never used it myself. There is however a thread explaining how to remove both the triangle and reset the counter using a usb JIG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
Counter is reset
using triangle away does reset the counter as well as removing the triangle also says your rom is samsung original even if it is not!.
you must use the correct ics version to do this one that does work is I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK worked just fine on my note. It does not work on all current versions of ICS. enjoy
Thanks a lot for the info! I really didn't know and I thought I read somewhere that it didn't reset the counter.
does the triangle away work for GB phones? just wondering
No

Other way you could try
Hi, maybe you already flashed, but this is how I did it. No problems at all.
Starting from stock GB. (Or you can flash stock through ODIN)
Used CF-Root to get Root and CWR on the phone.
Downloaded and flashed Abyss Kernel 4.2
rebooted recovery
flashed ICS ROM from sdcard.
Worked perfectly well for me.
Hope this helps.

As soon as you flash the rom, abyss kernel will be overwitten (you get CWM).
Now a piece of advice, there are great risk on flashing any rom based on leak repack, there is an issue with the kernel and the eMMC, which basically can fry your phone (if you are unlucky).
I personally decided to flash back to stock GB.... just in case. I'm not willing to gamble with my note, but that is me.

[Q] abyss kernel after rooting with CMW

hi,
after reading so many post on rooting and secure kernels I am still unsure if I lose root, if I flash abyss kernel after beeing rooted (Super Su Busybox).
As I want to do back ups as well as restores I think I need a secure Kernel after rooting. (I am on stock ICS LPF rooted).
Again I am not installing any MOD or ROMS just a rooted Stock ICS.

Do not use abyss as safe kernel for your ics it will not boot up. Use speedmod k3-6 or goku as a safe kernel. Use abyss only for wiping purposes and then flash a custom rom.
thx, that's important info. will try to find those kernels.
If you do have a link just in your hands would be nice if you could copy it for me.
TIA for your efforts

Do you mean to use only stock kernel and use abyss only when trying to install any custom ROMs. Is it not possible to use CWM instead of abyss kernel to flash the custom rom. is abyss kernel is just another method to root the note?
Hi,
I think I have problem here...
I have official ICS 4.0.3 (XXLQ2) and CF-Root,
I just flashed with abyss kernel and phone is not booting....
How can I flash to another kernel? I tried Volume down, Power and home button, but I got in download mode...
and also, which is safe kernel to use?
I flashed CF-root kernel by ODIN and now it boots normally
Basically Abyss is kernel for GB. That is the reason why every one advise when ICS rom, if you flash Abyss, do not leave CWM but reboot (not device) but the recovery. and after wiping flash the custom ICS immediately. I suggest you go back to GB and upgrade to ICS officially, and get rooted. (but remember ICS stock ROMs are not safe for backup, specially restoring, since you mentioned backups)

Well, thanks for the various info, however, my problem is still not solved.
Just to avoid misunderstandings I say it again: I do not want to install a custom kernel or so. Just keep my stock ICS rooted. But.... of course I would like to have the possibility to make backups and restore. As this involves the risk of bricking my device, I want to install a Kernel, which is at least considered to be safe ( I know no guarantee at all).
So the advice from "Jonpaslim" seems to be the answer.
this brings me to another problem........ I am in China, so I can't download from File-sharing services, as they are blocked. i can download from drop box, box or any other server also from xda......but I couldn't find a usable link for the k3-6 or Goku. those files don't seem to be so big ones. I wonder, if it may be possible for s.o. here to upload to a private cloud like dropbox or box or sugar sync etc.. and give me the download link.
I thank you for all your efforts in advance

guys one small but important help
i'm going to buy note in just few days probably tomrw
i will buy it on gb version
so what i want to know exactly
1. if i root the gb version with chainfire method of rooting (is it safe to go and keep the device brick bug free) or any other method should i follow
2. if i want to flash any of ics version first i have to flash abysskernel is it ok (means is it brick proof method)
3.abyss kernel is best for upgrade and downgrade and to do nandriod backup with full wipe and it does not brick the device, as much i have read about all this thing, is my knowledge about note to upgrade, downgrade is ok
4.after upgrading to any ics custom rom from gb version i have to keep rom on speedmod kernel is it totaly safe method, and in future if i want to downgrade from ics to gb again i have to flash abyss or same can be done by speedmod
5.speedmod kernel is safe to do full wipe or to flash any modification not the rom
or lastly should i keep my device on gb version without root and wait for expert dev or team samsung to provide us with best solution to keep our device bug free
plz guys appropriate answer will be appreciated

1. GB ROM,s are safe,
2. If you are upgrading from GB, you don't need abyss kernel, use it own kernel for wiping
3. You are right, abyss kernel is safest, because its a GB ketnel with its own CWM, but note, abyss does not boots ICS
4. Speedmod kernel is safe, but for extra safety use abyss kernel for up/down grading
5. It shoud be safe because buggy feature is disabled, but still I can not find solid confirmation, that hardbrik does not happened on this kernel after multiple .wipe and cache clearing, but, also, I didn't heard that hardbrik happened, so i will use abyss kernel for wiping before solid confirmation, that speedmod kernel is safe

You welcome,
You can upgrade from GB to ISC with samsung Kies,(as i did) it should be safe, anyway, if something goes wrong, you still have valid warranty.
or, you can use abyss kernel and manually upgrade from cwm. (You can find thread, where all stock ICS rom's are listed,
Also, there are a lot of step-by-step instructions on this forum or you can find also video toutorial on youtube or rootgalaxynote.com, just in case, not to forget anything)
I recomend upgrade to ICS, it's way batter than GB.
But after upgrade, you have to move to safe kernel, like speedmod, (already there are several safe roms for ics for example, last one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863)
There are also methods to flush to safe kernel and root without having binary count increased.

:good:
I noticed nothing you mentioned, screen is fine, black and other colors are also fine (at least as i can judge)
Also, I'll recomend GL_NOTECORE, Flash it with ODIN immediately after upgrade to official ICS, you will get root, CWM and MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled, also many extra tweaks and doubled 2D/3D performance

Abyss Red Recovery doesn't show downloaded ROMs. ..

.. Alright I am wearing luck on my sleeves ... I wanted to try staxx hybrid ROM every thing was ready I followed the time tested procedure of installation
1. Reboot to recovery
2. flash abyss red touch recovery and again reboot to recovery, all red red and touch touch!!
3. wipe data/factory reset
4. The other two wipes.
5 Went in to install menu on abyss
Now fun begins! The ROMs , Kernel that I had stored on my external sd card where not to be seen , they just vanished. I searched every where and nothing, it just can't be seen. I had earlier did a back up CWM or nandroid back up or what ever that was, after trying for some time and failing miserably to get the glimpse of the ROMs i downloaded I lost all hope, and decided to restore the back up . I restored the back up and my phone is back .
6. Again I rebooted into recovery , this time it was CWM recovery ,obviously, I could see my downloaded ROMs and Kernels.
7. I could see my downloaded ROMs and kernels through File manager.
My question is 1) Why i didn't see my ROMs on Abyss 4.2 Red touch recovery kernel? and how do I resolve this?
2) I used my back up and restored it. Do i have to back up again? or this back up will work again, & again. Assuming, of course, I don't want the post back up
changes to be reflected once i restore again.
I wil be grateful if anybody can help me with answers. Have fun and Happy Flashing!

6. Again I rebooted into recovery , this time it was CWM recovery ,obviously, I could see my downloaded ROMs and Kernels.
7. I could see my downloaded ROMs and kernels through File manager.
My question is 1) Why i didn't see my ROMs on Abyss 4.2 Red touch recovery kernel? and how do I resolve this?
2) I used my back up and restored it. Do i have to back up again? or this back up will work again, & again. Assuming, of course, I don't want the post back up
changes to be reflected once i restore again.
I wil be grateful if anybody can help me with answers. Have fun and Happy Flashing!

Not sure why you couldn't see it. DId you put ROM in root of Internal SD? Try putting it in Root of both Internal and Exernal.
Don't backup again. Do 1-4 and you should see your ROM when you choose install ZIP from INternal or External.
And not knowing about your ROM is it a CWM ROM- maybe you need Mobile ODIN?

.. Alright I am wearing luck on my sleeves ... I wanted to try staxx hybrid ROM every thing was ready I followed the time tested procedure of installation
1. Reboot to recovery
2. flash abyss red touch recovery and again reboot to recovery, all red red and touch touch!!
3. wipe data/factory reset
4. The other two wipes.
5 Went in to install menu on abyss
Now fun begins! The ROMs , Kernel that I had stored on my external sd card where not to be seen , they just vanished. I searched every where and nothing, it just can't be seen.

Your kernel and rom is in tar files so it did not register.
Or put your custom rom and kernel in internal and external sd i think you will not miss it.
I was on criskelo v9, CF 5.6 LRG kernel. All the files were in zip format so perfectly flashable on abyss. I was trying to flash Staxx paranoid hybrid Rom. I just saved it on my external SD card not in a folder on a extsd card. Can that be the reason? Very weird problem,Albeit very dangerous imagine you wiped all and ready to install the ROM and there is no ROM what will you do. Luckily I had a backup what if I didn't had a backup I would have struck on abyss recovery! !

I think that is your answer - save on both internal and external just in case. HTH
Hi, what ever you had in ext sd card will be there only. i think you are not correctly accessing your ext sd card.
No dude.... I checked it 10 times, in fact I had no other option other then looking for them! finally I gave up, and was wondering what to do then it struck to me to restore back up and I did that and rest as they say is history
I did get few answers like
1. Abyss is a GB kernel and I flashed it on ICS things went wrong.
2.I didn't put them in a folder.
Not sure what exactly the issue was.... Now I won't flash abyss but still I am not sure which are safe ICS kernel to perform wipe data?

Custom kernels are safe to wipe like speedmod, cm9 etc
Stock ics roms are unsafe.

Only booting a ICS ROM with a GB kernel will cause havoc. But then you can install Abyss kernel for wiping data safely. Your procedure is also correct. My hunch is that at some place super-user permissions must have hindered the process.
If I have to check again what went wrong I have to flash abyss, wipe all 3 and then if I could not find the ROM again I will have to restore the back up. I want to do it but... Wondering is it worth the risk!

Today I checked it again when I was moving from criskelo to liquid black. I flashed abyss and I realized that it doesn't show external sd card. So ext sd card mount problem I guess but not sure why ? And now I am on Franco r3 kernel this kernel should be safe to move to cm10 in future or should I go back to GB all together .

Franco kernel has the emmc bug disabled so all together it is safe. Guess you can start working safely.
My Abyss Red reverses the two SD cards, so the Internal appears External and vice versa. This is well documented.
I've had no trouble using Abyss, so I think you just need to do a little more homework.

eMMC safe TW ROM?

I am looking for an eMMC safe ROM. I just bought a GT-N7000, I had the i717 before this one. I've been baffled at trying to find information on what is safe to flash, how to flash it, and what isn't safe to flash. I am currently running CM10, but I'm having issues with the GPS, etc, not to mention I would love to use the S-Pen again. Is there a thread that gives all of the information about what I can/can't flash and not brick my phone? I've searched, but everything I've found doesn't say anything about the eMMC bug.
I apologize in advance if this is something that's common knowledge, it's just that I am new to the GT-N7000.
Thanks,
Rob
u need a custom kernel to make ur TW rom emmc brick free

philz

So, let me get this straight. You would flash the kernel and ROM through ODIN?
Thanks,
Rob
Kernels are flashed through ODIN or CWM, ROMs are flashed through CWM (or ODIN if its stock firmware)
Anyway, Your on CM10 now, So your obviously rooted with CWM too, So just simply download a safe kernel (I HIGHLY recommend HydaCore cuz' its awesome ) then download ROM of your choice.
2 ROMs I would recommend to try (this is completely down to my likings) are:
CleaNote (Made by same awesome dev as HydraCore kernel) Completely stock ROM but with all the crap removed - Design for Stock look and feel, But super stable and fast !
RocketMIUI - Made by an awesome dev who also makes RocketROM - This is MIUI ROM, Highly customisable, great theming and tweaks packed full of cool goodies and apps, But also keeps the S-Pen features and apps (such as SNote , SMemo etc etc) Also, Battery life is fantastic (Im getting just short of 2 full days ! )
Once you've chosen your ROM + Kernel, Place them on your SD card, Boot into recovery, flash the safe kernel, Go to advanced menu and select reboot recovery.
Now, Do a full factory reset, along with cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) then go to 'Install zip from sd card' then 'Choose zip from sd card' Then select your ROM
Leave the phone to do its magic and once completed, select 'reboot now' and enjoy
** First boot can take upto 10 mins - dont panic if you think its not booting, Just give it time. Also, DONT forget to do a backup before doing any of this, Either a full Nandroid backup and/or a titanium backup **
Best of luck :good:
excellent explanation

So, just to be sure of what I'm doing here. Let's say I flash Cleanote, if I wanted to go back to CWM so long as I have a safe kernel installed I shouldn't have to worry about an eMMC brick, correct?
Thanks Again,
Rob
CWM is recovery, You will have it for as long as you use custom roms.
The brickbug only exists in stock ics kernels, so as long as you avoid using them you will be fine, plus, once you try hydracore you wont use anything else and hydracore is 110% safe so always use it when performing full wipes ect :good:
Sorry to steel your thread but my doubt is i rooted my note using supersu in zip format from recovery, now what i know is i dont have a CWM installed, so should i install it to flash a safe kernel or can i do it from the recovery mode?

I think it was the Galaxy S3 that I had that the kernel had CWM built into it. That's why I was thinking when you changed the kernel you had CWM installed too. So the note has a separate recovery partition?
Thanks Again,
Rob
PS: I really appreciate the help. It's frustrating for someone who hasn't had the international note during the eMMC era to flash things. Bricking this phone would break my heart, lol.

OTA sometimes dont work if ur device is rooted.. it only happens on stock kernel and stock recovery.. but u can update it via kies. or with pc odin. if u want OTA then u have to go back to stock kernel and unroot

i guess that s3 also had a custom kernels cuz the stock kernel will never have CWM as its a custom recovery.
when u change to a custom kernel, it will mostly have CWM builtin
Why do we actually need a CWM when we have recovery mode, sry if its a noob question

its mainly for flashing custom ROMs and do advanced tasks as the stock recovery dont offer such facilities.
more over ICS kernel is not safe even to do a factory reset. so if ever ur becomes slow and u want to do a factory reset u risk ur phone.
so better install a safe kernel and all safe kernel comes with clockworkmod recovery and its safe to do a reset
I guess safe to reset is related to kernel not to CWM? Why do we actually need to replace our recovery?

As far as I remember, there r 2 EMMC erase things..one related to the kernel & other one related to the recovery..below text is from one of Ketan's post here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894293&page=5
"Originally Posted by dr.ketan
New safe kernel on the way
I have tested kernel. This kernel won't universal for all but just like Cf kernel. It will be according ROM. B'coz here there is no other modification from stock kernel but just made it safe by removing mmc_erase_cap command.
This is stock kernel but binary patched with MMC_CAP_ERASE removed from both recovery as well kernel
Best thing is you can flash with stock recovery and also gives root.
So anyone want to test let me know."

Installed Call recording for Galaxy Note and broken

Hi, I installed the Call_rec_Galaxy_note.zip in CWM found here, and now JellyBam won't boot. I'm able to see the Samsung logo and access CWM, but cannot boot. I tried wipe/factory reset but it's still the same problem. How should I proceed?
Always always keep a nandriod backup before flasing anything using cwm
Eek... I know now How do I repair it so I can boot again?

Thanks for your help guys. If I am to go to another rom (such as this), is it ok just to do the following:
Load *.zip on your SD/EXT Card
Restart in CWM
Be sure you’re on SAFE KERNEL, then you can wipe
Full wipe /data/factory reset /cache and dalvik
Format /data /system and /preload
Flash the ROM
Wait some minute until your phone boot!​
Does the fact it is XXLSC matter? My kernel version is XXLRK... thought I'd better ask!
If you are indeed on stock lrk kernel now - you better Flash the LRK version of Philz kernel before doing anything. You are not on a safe kernel. You should not do factory resets in your current kernel. You will brick your device eventually.

I have flashed the LRK version of Philz already, but I think the JellyBam installer installed the latest CM10/AOKP Kernel? Can I install the above rom, even though it installs Philz XXLSC kernel over a XXLRK? Forgive me for asking nooby questions... I'm just fearful of bricking
Yes because cm10 kernel has secure erase suppressed and is thus 100% safe.

Haha, I'm never safe So can I go ahead and install this rom as it said? Does it not matter that I was on XXLRK and this says XXLSC? Sorry for the questions, I'd just rather be safe(r) than sorry
OMg! So much of confusion. What rom are you on now? When you go onto recovery, what do you see? Cwm-philz.?
Do you have the new rom download into the phone storage?
I'm on JellyBam. When I go into Recovery, it says CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.9. I'm so sorry to have confused you! I haven't finished downloading the new rom. I know that what I am on (should) be safe from the EMMC brick, but I just don't know what the kernel version means. When I rooted my phone from stock, I installed PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-3.71-signed, as my stock kernel was XXLRK. What I don't know is whether the fact I was previously on XXLRK matters anymore when choosing other kernels/roms. Sorry again to be so troublesome.
Essentially, the whole confusion stems from not knowing what XXLRK or XXLSC refer to? I know when I went from stock to PhilZ, I had to make sure I got the correct version for my device, so I dont know whether I can now go to XXLSC.
So now you on philz kernel xxlxx.
JellyBAM won't boot on that kernel but it's safe. Download the rom and put in phone storage and do wipes and formats (system, data, cache, preload) and then flash the new rom. New rom will come with its own kernel (philz)
I've just looked into it, and JellyBam states that it features "Latest CM10/AOKP Kernel compiled from sources"... would I be best flashing Philz that I installed previously just to be safe? I think my recent bricking has made me too cautious haha
You can flash it using the cm10 kernel as well or philz too. Any will do the job well
Thank you so much for tolerating me Would you be able to explain what the XXLRK/XXLSC means?
