[Q] HELP! - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought Samsung galaxy note few days ago (second hand) and it had su and its rooted ( verified through root checker ) Now I want to flash cmw but whenever I got into recovery mode theres another recovery which is andorid system recovery. Whenever i choose apply update from external storage it gives me the error
"e:/ failed to mount sdcard ( no such file or directory ) "
Can anyone tell what is the reason its giving me this error?
How can I flash cmw?(Ive tried flashing recovery thorough cwm and it says its already flashed to the latest version but still the android system recovery pop ups whenever i go into the recovery.
P.S I am on ICS.

my firmware version is n7000XXLPT
android version 4.0.3

Follow dr.ketan method. Is safe and easy.

Put your flash file at both internal and external sd card.
NEVER do any full wipe and nandroid on unsafe kernel.

Thank you Sir for the quick reply but I don't have an sd card. Its the internal storage and the method youve posted would make me update it through the external storage which the android system recovery isnt mounting

Try dr.ketan 1st. If still failed. Then follow the method as noted below.
1.download speedmod k3-13 or hdyracore kernel in tar.file.
2.Boot into download mode and flash it thru pc odin.
3. After phone reboot, use "root explorer" to check u are in full root or not. Copy and paste some file under system.
4. If everthing goes well. Then use "triangle Away" to remove yellow triangle and reset binary count.
Good luck mate.

[Q] Can't flash CM 7 RC5.7, need help!

My galaxy mini has 2.3.6, I did with the ordered list:
1- Partition SD card
2- wipe data and cache
3- install zip from sd card
and after a few seconds, it says: "file aboarded"
what's wrong in my way?
you have missed the IMPORTANT STEP:
You can't install a custom rom (CM7) from gingerbread stock recovery, so go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342190
download ODIN 4.38+tass.ops and tass.recovery-cwm.tar from attachments, then follow the given instructions carefully.
after all is done successfully, reboot to cwm recovery, wipe cache and data then install zip from sdcard.
now you're a happy member from this amazing wonderful and big community
As I understood, he already have CWM because he was able to partition SD card...
Maybe the file you downloaded was corrupt, try download it again. And make sure you install the big one (~94MB) first!
aborted maybe? try to redownload, maybe your file is corrupt.
If you're using rom manager, stop using it while you can before your phone bricks.
Did you root your phone?
Did you install Clockworkmod recovery?
If so, then the file is likely corrupt or you're trying to install a patch file before installing the actual rom.
Try redownloading the rom and install the biggest one first.
Maybe you forget mount system?? Or file corrupt?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
try disabling or enabling the script verification and signature check in install zip from scared option it was worked for someone before
are you try to install CM 7 with CWM Recovery 5 or using Recovery Stock based ?
if you're using CWM 5, then try to re download file zip
try redownload again..

[Q] N7000 can't see internal memory card

Hello guys!
Help needed on understanding what has happened to my SGN.
ROM: Ultimate N7000 XXLSC Jelly Bean 4.1.2 v5.1 (Thread)
Kernel: PhilZ CWM6 XXLSC XJB 3.75
Yesterday I've decided to encrypt my device (don't ask why :silly, and this try resulted in error (after few reboots), i was told i need to reset my phone. I've reseted it. Since than no internal memory available - message in notification bar: "Blank USB storage: USB storage is blank or has unsupported filesystem". Neither external SD card is accessible.
In recovery mode i can access my extSD card, but can't access, mount or format my EMMC - error: failed to mount exfat /dev /block/ mmcblk0p11 /emmc
I've reflashed the ROM for two times and nothing has changed...
Please, any ideas where should i refer to to understand what is happened (emmc brick?) and how to fix it?? Has anyone faced such a problem??
Many thanks in advance!
Just put ur mem cars in the jacket and copy all its data on ur computer. Format ur card via computer and reinsert it. It will 89% work.

I read a thread last week where someone had the exact same problem.
You will have to search a bit to find it and maybe contact the guy as he
solved it by himself.
What I remember is that the flag for the partition to be seen as encrypted
is in the EFS partition. You need to edit a file in there to set it back to normal.
After that it will be available for a format.
Edit: it might be in this forum or in the GT-P6800 forum, as i got both devices and visit both forums
Found it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033320&page=2
Good luck.
If you backed up your EFS, as you should ,flash it & reboot.
from the man hiding in your attic..
So here are some new details:
I can't flash any (stock GB) rom via Odin - it stucks on factoryfs (common case with emmc problems)...
but i can flash the kernel (4pda_kernel.tar) thus i can enter CWM. In CWM i can flash a rom (Ultimate N7000), and phone works, despite i'm able to move apps to SD, internal usb storage still unavailable. My PC can "see" the phone's usb storage, but can't format it...

So, as far as I understand restoring EFS will make it possible to mount emmc in CWM and format it??
But i don't have backup of my EFS, where do i get it to restore? Is it possible to restore EFS from someone else's N7000 backup?
There is a risk that you may cause a problem with emei number if you flask the other phone's efs. I would try to remove and recreate partition 11 using parted. No sure it will work but it should cause no harm. The method is in the guide in my signature.

Dear forest1971 ! I did it! It helped! Thanks a lot! :good:
But some promlem still persists!
Manual re-partition (paragraph 8) resulted in following available internal memory figures:
option 1 ~ 7 Gb; option 2 ~ 4 Gb; option 3 ~ 3 Gb; option 4 ~ 2 Gb; option 5 - did not help. So, at the end, I chaged the numbers in option 1 to increase the "output" of internal memory. I put the numbers close to these (mantioned as a "stock" numbers in the beginig of the manual):
9 281MB 1174MB 893MB ext4 FACTORYFS
10 1174MB 3322MB 2147MB ext4 DATAFS
11 3322MB 15.2GB 11.9GB fat32 UMS;
It worked! I've got back my 11 Gb available! And phone can "see" internal USB storage and format if (in CWM).
The problem itself: walking through these steeps (options), after each try i was still unable to flash a ROM (GB stock) via Odin, it always stucks on FactoryFS or even earlier.
But i was able to flash custom (JB) ROM via CWM from my external SD. It starts and works good!
The problem I've discovered - i can't unmount of format /SYSTEM in CWM on kernel other than "4pda-kernel" (I've tried couple of safe PhilZ kernels (v2.5, v2.7, v3.73, v3.81) - the device stucks!! It also stucks when hit "reboot" in CWM. I cant flash any ".zip" update/mod in CWM - it stucks on "unmounting system" step during flashing.
No such problem exists when return back to "4pda_kernel".
(I found the way out: I'm now on Glory ROM (JB) with PhilZ 3.73 kernel, so if I need to flash some ".zip" update/mod, I first flash "4pda_kernel" in CWM (being on PhilZ 3.73 kernel), than flash the ".zip" file, after that flash the PhilZ kernel back to start the ROM. It works for now.
Question: what could couse this problem?? Is there a way I could overcome this bug and get my "old Note" back (USB memory is back now, formated and works fine)??
And one more question: could i try to remove yellow tringle (reset my custom flash counter) via TriangleAway v2.37?? Or you guys would not recommend to touch it now??
Thanks to you all in advance!!!

There is no brick in your emmc so you can use all the memory which is normal.
You made a mistake to remove and recreate the factoryfs and datafs manually so they now will have a little bit different size (just some bytes) to the stock one.
If you want to get it to original condition, go to Dr ketan tool box in my signature then download stock pit file, then flash it. Then go into recovery and format data and usbstorage. Then you can flash any rom via odin or cwm.
Yes you can use triangle away.
cheers,

Did it! Flashed the PIT-file you said via Odin (with checkmarks "Phone EFS clear" and "Re-partition", no manual re-partition), device could "see" the emmc and format it (both on "4pda_kernel" and on Philz one), but on PhilZ kernel situation did not change - phone still stucks (trying unmount or format /system )...
Any other thoughts what can be wrong?

Hi, the description is not clear enough for me.
I understand that the aim is to be able to to flash rom using odin as normally should and to get back the usbstorage. Could have those now?
Another issue is: we should not check "clear phone EFS". I suspect it could cause a problem with the emei number if you clear the efs without restoring the original back up.
So for the above issues more info is needed.
If it continue to get stuck while using odin, then should use dd or hg42 scanner to check the memory.
cheers.

1) Yes, my emmc is back and works fine! Thank you!
2) Yes, now I'm able to flash ROMs via Odin! Thanks again!
The only problem still persists is that I can't flash any ".zip" file via CWM being on safe PhilZ kernels (haven't tried others, except for "4pda_kernel") if flashing process involves steps regardin "/system". Phone always stuck on that step - "unmounting /system" (also when hit "format /system", "power off" or "reboot" options in CWM).
All these works fine if "4pda_kernel" flashed insted of PhilZ one.
Before the problem with emmc (and manipultions done to resolve it) this "/system" problem did not exist, I was able to flash any ".zip" being on any kernel (including PhilZ ones).
I just want to understand what should i do to overcome this problem with "/system" being on PhilZ kernels?? What could cause this problem, that did not exist before reviving my emmc??
PS:
1) regarding "Clear phone EFS" checkmark - I've checked it after many vain tries to flash PIT files without it (phone just didn't see emmc after flashing files), so I've dicided to try and checked it - it worked!!! I didn't notice any problem with the phone after that... (maybe you know what should i check to be sure everything is ok with IMEI ? )
2) after flashing PIT-file with "clear phone EFS" checkmark I'm able to flash ROMs via Odin (before that it always stucks on FactoryFS...)
Once again, thank you mate for you involvement!

It's good to know you got it working. And thanks for informing the solution of checking "clear phone efs".
About emei: should check emei number by dial: *#06#
then compare it with the emei number printed in phone carton box or find the number somewhere in the back of the phone after remove cover. Some people lost original emei and only have a generic emei which has many 000...It should not be a problem as long as the phone is working normally, althoug it will be useful to know if "clear phone efs" will cause problem with emei number.
About CWM in some kernel cannot format system. This problem was encountered by some people before. There is a trick by Entropy that seems to helps. connect phone in adb and do:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 bs=1M count=1
Then you should be able to format system and install custom rom using Philz kernel.

Flash all files from this 5 part gb rom should help give a generic emei for phone to be recognized by network. You may need to flash them in two batches.

[Q] Android not loading, rom zip disappeared.

Hey Guys.
I'm in a bit of ****.
I did my first rom flash yesterday, and all worked well. However the system would reboot once every 12 or so hours.
I noticed when I did CWM Recovery 5.5, that the total data wipe failed, but I researched that it was an issue, and had been fixed in CWM 6.0
The rom description said that if a total data wasn't done, you would have problems.
So I flashed 6.0, and did the CWM Recovery again with all the wiping options, but when I went to 'install zip from sd card', the file wasn't there. I assumed that the contents of the card wouldn't move, or be deleted, but it obviously was.
Now when I followed the original guide on XDA, I did the backup as stated, but it must not have worked, as in restore it's telling me there's no backup file found.
So at the moment, all i'm getting is the Samsung Galaxy S3 loading screen, but it's not going beyond that.
All I can access is CWM, and the Downloading screen.
What can I do to get my phone accessible again?
Thanks
plug your phone to PC (with downloaded ROM)
go to cwm -> mounts and storage -> mount usb storage. Now you should see Phone SD card on your PC. Put ROM in main folder uplug and flash.
if it doesn't help you should flash via odin (at download mode) 3 file ROM (f.e. JW1) with pit512 and re-partition checked, then flash kernel with cwm and start fun with cwm flashing.
Keep your ROMs and gapps and kernels etc on microSD next time
I do that so when I flash a new ROM I just wipe and format everything. I know its not necessary to format SD, I just do it anyway to clean up folders from old apps etc.

[SOLVED] System Recovery ERROR.

I cannot access my present usb storage memory from 'Install zip from sd' option in System Recovery and the reason according to me for this is I switched off my mobile before storage scan completes and so partial scanned files are visible ONLY in system recovery . I reflashed the XXLQB version (which I am currently using) even did cache and data wipes twice. I also formatted my USB storage also but still I can see the folders and files which were partially scanned. The changes i make to those folders are not reflected in system recovery. I even flashed XXLQ4 firmware but the system recovery showed the same files inspite of an empty USB storage. Luckily the root.zip (by Shaan) had been scanned, so I can root my device after flashing.
Please Help guys !!!

You remember correctly. I tried it a couple of days ago and stock can only see external.
Flash a custom kernel (there is a stock kernel with TWRP recovery on the forum if you don't want a custom kernel).

As I remember stock recovery only see external memory. So you can't use internal anyway.

Ya I was wrong. I didn't knew that and after editing files in my SD card I realized that.:good:
Thread closed per OP request.

[SOLVED] Installed CWM on stock 2.3 - now in bootloop

I have installed semaphore cwm on a stock Galayxy S 2.3 phone. I can get into recovery mode and also download mode. However, when I try and boot the phone it just flashes up the usual Glxy S boot screen and goes no further. I cannot work out how to get Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 zip on to the /sd card when I can't boot the phone. I have put the zip on to the external sd, but that is no good as CWM doesn't see the external SD.
I am getting desperate as it is my daughter's phone and she will not be happy if I have bricked it. I am running linux mint 14.

To put files into sd card when you are in recovery mode, just go:
Mounts & Storage -> mount usb storage
Then put your zip file and flash it.
1 step forward and 2 steps back.

Thank you so much for this advice. It worked. I got the phone going again and then, to my eternal shame, I did a restore on CWM. I should have done an advanced restore and only selected what I needed. So now I am back where I started, but in a worse position. CWM is displaying error messages such as failed to open /etc/recovery.fstab, can't mount /cache/recovery....I can't install from the internal sd as it can't be seen. I feel like screaming. I have tried re-installing CWM, doing a factory re-set, wiping the cache and dalvik cache, all to no avail.
I wouldn't blame you for giving up on me!
