[Q] Bootloop problem

I am just about to throw my phone at the wall.
So I was on stock 2.3.3 and decided I wanted to update to ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096
I didn't have clockwork mod and wasn't rooted so I eventually got this working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Then I tried to install the ICS rom but it wouldn't work. I then tried to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353657 which for some reason didnt have any cell phone coverage.
I tried going back to the just rooted version of 2.3.3 but haven't been able to get the phone to go past the samsung logo / Clockwork Recovery.
Edit: Whenever I try flash the 2.3.3 rooted rom it updates me to Clockwork Mod Recovery v3.0.0.5 with HEAPS of errors.
Any ideas?

You should go back to a stock rom via Odin...you will need a rom that has 3 files (csc , modem, phone) and the Odin 512 .pit file and check the repartition box.

I flashed the cf root the same as the software my phone had under settings. I flashed it using odin.
There was an error message, I can't recall it exactly, it couldn't execute or something. Yup I wiped data.
Flash back to stock using odin
Thanks for the help guys

Did you solve it?

[Q] My Galaxy mini/pop Bricked

Hi, I am new to this rooting thing...
While I was flashing my Galaxy S5570 with s5570DDKC1 (stock firmware downloaded from sammobile.com) using odin multi downloader, after successfully loading files in downloading mode it didn't restarted automatically.
Now my phone only works in dowbload mode not in recovery mode.
I had installed clockwork recovery mod but not starting in recovery mod..
Please help me to UNBRICK my phone.
Thanks in advance...

had you checked reboot option in odin
you were flashing ddkc1 so I think you are Indian
as ddkc1 is froyo fw you should not flash it over gingerbread instead flash ddkq7 as it is official gingerbread fw for galaxy mini you can also find it in sammonlbile

Flash the stock froyo before flashing GB ....
It wil work...
Search on google bukab1 for mini ull get the dwn link...

Yes, I have once upgreaded it to GB 2.3.6
But I want to root my software but i was not able to root it. so i want to install froyo 2.2.1

if rooting is the problem then you should not downgrade
instead you can use stoneboytony's update.zip and can flash it in stock recovery in this way you can have root or
use superoneclick (PC) the second most easiest way to root android

[Q] Help update to ics and root for unlock

Hi and sry if my post is like many others, but i need strait answers for my particular software version.
So i am running Galaxy Note N7000 is rooted and unlocked with Galaxy_S Unlock apk i think (was locked on SRF France)
Android Version :2.3.6
Baseband version :N7000BUKK1
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566
[email protected] #2
Build number :GINGERBREAD.XXKKA
My question is:
Can i upgrade the software from the phone menu Software Upgrade? it is always asking me if i want to install or not.
Can i brick my phone using this method?
If i manage to get ICS on the device will i still be able to use unlock .apk on 4.0.x ?
I use vodafone romania sim
Should i use Odin or Kies or phone upgrade from menu?
Ihave downloaded all the stock roms for my country and carrier (Vodafone)
BTW mobile odin said there is something wrong with my partition, and emmc check will leave black screen and crash after a few seconds (is this something to be worried?)
What method do you guys recommend ?
Thanx in advance !

from the phone it becomes OTA and lot of chances that the phone gets screwed up

if emmc check crashes or hangs that means there are corrupted blocks.

it is best to upgrade via odin .. then comes kies but i am not sure if installing it will lock ur device again.

So i should go ahead and put the stoc ics firmware for my country and update with odin over my rooted gb 2.3.6, no harm will occur?
Should i put the .pit for 16GB when using odin or just put the fw in PDA and hit Start?
I asked if the unlock apk is compatible with ICS also...but i will find out soon )
Thanx

Just read first line on my signature and flash ICS using Odin
I recommend go clean(first wipe cache and data before flashing ICS) and don't wipe once you are on ICS stock kernel
After this find second link on my sign and use method 1A/1B to root.
No need to use pit, though detail instruction is there on my thread

Let me get this right:
1 go to CMWR and clear data and cash, then exit, reboot
2.go into download mode vol - + home+ power
3 connect odin and select the rom into pda
4 hit start and let it do its job, it will reboot into the new ics after that.
then my phone will probably have ICS running but no root and so i cannot use unlock apk, only if i IMEI unlock it so i can stay on stock all the way.
So after i flash stock ics using odin i shall never do a hard reset on my phone even if i do not root it?
thanx for patience and help
correct me if i am wrong at any steps.
thanx again

1. yes You are on GB ROM, so safe
2.OK
3.OK
4.Not probably but it will boot to ROM which you have flash.
If you have network lock, then you have to Root your device to unlock it.
For that use 2nd link on my signature to root it.
Again here one more thin i have to clear
If you select ICS 4.0.4 to flash, then direct network unlock won't work.
For this refer to 'Toolbox' in my signature and follow tool No 18 and then 17
In case of 4.0.3, Tool No 17 only will be fine.

GB is safe for wipe, even you are on stock 3e recovery, wipe cache and data/factory reset

Should i flash Hydracore v5 kernel with odin after my odin upgrade to stock ics just to be sure that no brick bug will happen to my note if i ever do a HW reset?

Yes safe kernel always safe.
Flashing kernel with Odin raise flash counter.
You can flash phillz kernel (which is also safe) from stock recovery. If you want to flash hydracore or any other later you can flash with phillz recovery without raising counter.

Downgrade from JB to GB

I need to downgrade my Note from stock JB (N7000OXALSZ Germany) to a rooted GB and then upgrade to another version of JB (N7000OJPLSA UAE) to make my phone localized and rooted. I need step by step guide.
My phone is not rooted and doesn't have safe kernel(I've tried to flash a GB rom with pc Odin and got bootloop after that).

Go to dr ketans thread original development section step by step guide there

I saw that thread but i couldn't find downgrading method(s) there. he just mentioned we should downgrade but didn't specify how to downgrade. and as i said my effort to downgrade was unsuccessful.

Easiest way if you can't figure it out is just use mobile Odin...

I Can't. because my phone is not rooted and mobile odin need rooted device.

Why don't you flash philz kernel for your current ROM(LSZ),do the wipes,and then move on to UAE?

AW: Downgrade from JB to GB
Than use odin for pc to flash GB.
Oh sorry, I have just seen you have already tried this. But maybe you have taken the wrong file.,. Or simply root your phone with Philz and flash the rom you want. No need to go back to GB in my opinion.

Have your flashing to GB was successful?
Anyway reboot to recovery and check how you can make selection of choice, if it is gb recovery then you have to select file using home button while on ics and jb it uses power button.
So if your flash to GB successful and recovery is gb then wipe cache and data. It should boot normally
After this update to jb with odin

Thanks for replies,
I've just flash stock GB(from your list), not a safe kernel or anything else and it was unsuccessful(got bootloop). then i re-flash JB(Germany) to make the phone alive again(and it was successful, so i'm on JB right now), after all of this i decide to ask you what should i do for safe and successful downgrading to have rooted device on JB(UAE)?

Successful means odin was successful to flash it. Don't worry about bootloop, it's common after downgrade. So Reflash gb, if it remains successful to flash then reboot to recovery and wipe cache and data (you can confirm gb recovery by trick said in previous msg)
But if you just want to update other gb rom, then no need to go for gb, just flash jb rom of your choice, don't worry for bootloop
Flash safe kernel
Wipe cache and data

I currently using ICS 4.0.4 and would like to use JB. I am just trying to know if there is any means, we could able to use external sd card for the update as there is option...

if you are talking about the option is android recovery 3e then No. to install a new rom you need CWM recovery, Mobile odin or PC odin.

nokiamodeln91 is right, you need cwm , or Odin for flashimg new roms

if i download the german firmware JB and flash with odin, Will i get the update NEE? Do I need to have german CSC as well to install in in my GNote which is running NEE ICS 4.0.4

no you will not get the NEE update. Only DBT updates.. if NEE JB comes out then manually update using odin. You can install any rom.

Thank you!! I am installing right now. can't wait to test JB as samsung is taking long time to update in Finland.
once again thank you very much all of you.

Enjoy JB. But keep in mind that JB out of the box might not be smooth. You may need to root it and remove some boatwares.

I accidentally wiped out the internal memory @ ROM of my tablet ( Samsung SM-T330NU). It is now frozen on a download screen with the Android logo in the middle , I cannot turn it off or go into recovery mode with any of the usual buttons.
In addition, the PC doesn't see it, so I cannot use Odin either from the PC or the tablet.
How can I fix it? I thought I could download the stock firmware on the PC and copy it to the tablet external card, but I am not to sure how to do it. The stock firmware I was able to download is an MDS file. Can I copy it to the Ext SD card of the tablet as it is, or do I have to do something else?May be extract the files. How?
Thanks for the help
Ittiandro

Problem solved! . My tablet was able to connect to the computer with Odin and I could flash the Stock ROM . Never thought it would ! One of those wrong assumptions!
Thanks
