[Q] Installed an S2 custom rom to my rooted Galaxy Note - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm a newbie/noob here in xda-developer.
I used to own an s2 and now i have a galaxy note International Version GT-N7000. Both of them i have rooted. Anyway, i used my old external SD card in my note (came from my s2). I have installed a custom rom in my note (Half - illusion) but noticed that it doesn't have the S Memo and S Note so i decided to switch back to a previous rom i have installed before. My bad that i got confused that I installed an S2 custom rom (Foxhound) instead of the other custom rom for s3. now i'm stuck.
i can't go to download mode. (vol up + home +power). when i turn on the phone, it will only show the galaxy note screen then will eventually fade (my screen will turn to gray with lines).
Please help. is this hard - bricked? is there a way to resolve this? maybe there's like an "odin" that i can just erase the installed s2 rom and install the right rom.
Thank You in advance.

You never mentioned recovery ? does it work ? I assume it wont.
You should try the USB JIG, you can make them or buy them of ebay, That should force you into download mode and allow you to flash a stock firmware FOR THE GALAXY NOTE and get you back on track.
if the JIG doesn't work, try to claim under warranty and blame it on a factory reset / brickbug, Or claim on insurance (if you have it)

got kind of confused between recovery and download mode. which is which?
one thing for sure is i can not open my phone.
power + volume up + home --> screen becomes super blurry and turns blueish gray.
power + volume up&volume down + home --> goes into odin mode. only says downloading. do not turn off target
when i say factory reset to samsung, that means when i did it inside my phone through settings --> backup/reset --> Factory Data Reset? do you think it is possible rather than saying i was asked to upgrade to ICS?

Download mode is Vol down+ home + power, if you can enter it then simply flash Gingerbread stock firmware using pc odin and everything will be fine. Check original dev sticky by Dr.ketan to download stock GB rom for your region and flashing instructions.
Also, stock ICS kernels are not safe to wipe in recovery or in setting, don't do it, it will brick your phone.

thank you for this information. However I would like to know why you mentioned GB rom? is this on the assumption that my phone is still running in Gingerbread? how would you know if a phone is still on stock ICS kernels?

I mentioned GB, so that you can safely wipe if required, you cannot do it on stock ICS roms because of the brick bug, check this. You will be on stock ICS kernel when you update to official ICS rom either via kies, OTA or pc odin and havent changed the kernel to some safe custom kernel yet.
Edit- yes, it's the same thread, check post #2 for GB roms. pc odin is used to flash stock firmwares (except few custom roms) and does not raise custom binary count if you flash anything stock. after flashing stock rom using odin you will be unrooted again so doesn't matter if you are rooted or unrooted now.

Thank you. is this the link you are referring to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997&highlight=dr+ketan ?
i think i read in another forum that pc odin is used to flash custom rom from an official samsung rom. The wya i understood it, since i am already rooted and was running in a custom rom, then this isn't for me. otherwise, it will do something with my binary counter and will void my samsung warranty.

Wait I am updating here
Just don't do anything if you have download mode working

Yep, just make sure you download the latest version (2.3.6). The country and what rom you flash exactly does not matter. This is based on the assumption that you don't have a carrier locked device.

Ok here is steps for you
-Download pit file (it is for 16Gb, if your device isn't 16Gb but 32Gb let me know before proceed)
-Flash with Odin for PDA
-Download KL3 India ROM
-Extract it (pw is samfirmware.com)
-Flash using Odin
here you have to select both file
pit file for pit tab and ROM tar file for PDA
-After successfull flashing reboot to recovery and wipe cache and data
Hope this should work
feel free to ask if you have any confusion.

k. am downgrading Firmware to KL3 , and i need procedure. but mainly it should not effect binary counter.
It's not possible to root LA4 directly at the moment, so you'll need to downgrade your device first:
- Download a firmware that's rootable from here.
- Download Odin from the link provided above
- Enter "Download Mode" on your device by shutting your Note completely off, then press and hold Volume Down + Home button + Power button
- Start Odin
- Unzip the firmware (the zip file you just downloaded), and you'll end up with a md5-file
- Go to Odin and click "PDA" and choose the md5-file
- Press "Start"
- Wait
- Done
Now you can root the device and get CWM, so go to this thread and do the "I Want ROOT + CWM" at the end of the first post.
- After you're rooted download LA4 again from the first link in this post
- Transfer it to your Note
- Open CWM on your Note
- Flash it
Done. You now have a rooted LA4.

No it won't.
Just make 1 thing clear. binary count raise only, If you flash any custom ROM/Kernel with PC Odin.
Follow LordManhattan's advise and still once refer Installation guide in detail in post #2 n 3 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Just to add, Downgrade Firmware shud be direct rootable. (before KL7), N if particularly i specify, I can say Downgrade first to indian ROM KL1, I have flashed this ROM in at least 5 Notes.
That means Flashing Custom ROM using CWM doesn't effect Binary Count rite??
if you flash using CWM or mobile odin it wont if you do using oding from PC it will still not sure about official firmware

Yep, this is what I did after going through Dr. Ketans post. I now have rooted LA4 , but my CWM app and recovery is only partial. I do not have option to do backup/restore on CWM on LA4. Is it a universal problem? Any ideas?

Hey,
Dr.Ketan, can you tell me please if there is a chance to root the original LA4 (never changed rom) if I don't have access to a Windows and only to a Mac?
I only want to root it for the basic tweaks and apps. Don't need a custom rom at the moment. I want to root it and use it as is while I wait for the official ICS.
Thanks.
There is no Queston of window or Mac,LA4 is non rootable, to get root, first u need to downgrade older rom.

Thanks. I got ahead of the events. I didn't meant that. I meant if I can do the procedure of downgrading and everything I might need to do in order to root or to install a custom rom or another stock using ONLY my Samsung Note and a Mac.
Q1: I can downgrade using a exclusively a Mac with Lion on it?
Q2: If the answer to Q1 is affirmative, can I root it after downgrade also using only Lion on Mac?
Thanks again!
I have never heard mac pc odin. Plz google for it. So without pc odin you cant downgrade.
Yes there was review i read, got root with mac. You just read my thread how to root...(u may find from my signature), i remember i have post a link somwhere, how to root using mac.

Yes, I saw there was one root with mac solution, but works only if the Note is rootable. LA4 is not. So I must downgrade first. )))))
Nevermind, I'll try to do it with Windows, somehow. Thanks!
I am also new to this, and this thread is very clear. The bit I do not understand is what Kernal I should be running. Custom roms available can have a variety of kernals e.g LA3, LA4 etc. Do i have to choose a rom that has a kernal compatible with my phone? is there some rational to running one kernal vs another? I notice that it may be possible to flash a rom and keep a previous kernal e.g a CF kernal. is this advisable? your advice would be very welcome.
You don't need to flash a new kernel. Most of the custom ROMs includes a custom kernel that's good enough, but if you're interested in testing a few of them then you can do it without any problems.

Now is when I am lost. I did all the above (thanks, by the way) and I run KKA now. I had LA4 (Germany) when bought it, then downgraded to root.
Now I am rooted but when I try to update firmware with CWM, nothing happens. I have to put the ZIP in the Note or the MD5? I tried with the MD5 two times.
Is there something I do wrong? Is any other method apart from CWM? I mention that when I downgraded and first booted, CWM said something about "not being compatible and some functions were disabled".
Any ideas?
EDIT:
I couldn't work it out as expected and I went back to my original LA4 (Germany).

Rooting Note on ICS ROM PROBLEM

Hi,
I am new to Android Phones. I tried to root my Galaxy Note using the above method
2. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark
-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it. OR Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin
-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery
-Install Mobile Odin Pro
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Open Mobile Odin Pro
-select open file
but i run mobile odin without downloading the odin version of custom kernel (I got confused, I thought I needed to do thisafter running mobile odin) and now my phone is stuck in flashing mode for about 45mins switching on and off.
What should I do?
Thank you in advance for your help...
Christina
Flash Pre rooted ROm again Wipe cache and data and repeat procedure, that will be safe.
It worked! Thank you!
Just a quick question...
I followed all the steps mentioned on the thread up to installing mobile odin and copying the ics rom....
but I am confused with the odin version of custom kernel...I am trying to find the correct cf-root kernel through the link you provided but I can not find the KJ1. I downloaded the one you have attached below mobile odin screenshots. Is that ok?
And also where do I copy the kernel? Internal or external sd? Should it be in a specific directory in order to be detected by mobile odin?
Sorry for all these questions but I looked around and there is no specific instructions anywhere about this part.
Thank you...
Which rom you want to flash?

Since I am new to the android platform phones, I think it will be better if i explained what my objective is so I won't confuse you too....
I want to be able to install and use rooted applications like titanium back up. I read that in order to do this I have to root my phone.
So what I want to do now is to root my phone in order to use ie titanium black without upping my flash counter.
Also I do not care to have a custom ICS, I prefer the stock one for now until I become more familiar with all these.
I followed the steps but the customn kernel things has confused me.
My phone is as mentioned before a galaxy note with ICS 4.04 before I started the procedure, now I have Gingerbread 2.35.
What should I do?
Thank you

You will have CWM and rooted device.After that you can use Titanium Backup and all other applications which required root
Sahil hez on gb rooted.rom. So no need to flash custom kernel with pc odin. i think mobile odin will b best for him.
@op
Go to first link on my signature, download any ics rom you want
Download notecore kernel std tar version
Copy both.to sd card
Now look to rom switch over from my signature and find how to use mobile odin

Thank you for the quick reply!!!
Just to be sure, when you say first method you mean the one below
1. Short, easy - requires to reset counter
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Flash it using PC odin for PDA tab.
-You will get exclamation mark and raised counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away
-First time opening triangle away application, it will ask to download file(flasher), let it complete. then choose to reset counter, it will restart in special recovery an finish job.\
If yes, then this brings us back - almost - to my original question....how do i use the custom kernel (cf or notecore) with odin? I know it uzips to a zimage etc but how do I use it which odin? Also which cf kernel -if iuse this one- is correct for my phone? Is there a link you can provide that explains all these?
Thank you!

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.

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.

now it was time to install it..
I went to recovery mode than i selected CWM.zip and flashed it..
than in CWM I wiped Data
but i think data was not wiped ! phone automatically turned on... and was hanged on Samsung logo.. i thought it has been done
now i went to apply zip from sd card.. i applied the zip provided by eybee1970
Done.. it installed.. now it was showing Samsung's New Logo on startup..
i was happy coz i thought now m on JB !
than I waited 10 minutes but phone was hanged on samsung's logo
i thought maybe it is installation problem..
I again went to recovery mode.. now my recovery mode was changed ! i was directly into CWMR
and i seen kernel also changed ! it was Philz's Kernel...
I thought now its perfect for my Note.. Now i can install JB
i again flashed that Zip file..

than i again went to recovery mode and I wiped Data again..
than again i Flashed that zip file
Now phone was Showing -

First off all always read related thread carefully before trying new rom on your Note. There are lots of warning in this forum not to use recovery mode when you are on stock ICS rom.
Anyway try to install stock gingerbread rom on your note using pc odin. It is better to use Dr. Ketan`s step by step guide to root your note and installing new rom. I hope you are able to go to download mode. BEST OF LUCK

I guess u bricked ur note..if odin fails, then try claiming warranty from Samsung, if your phone is under warranty..
If not, try jig, JTAG, PIT file methods..*after reading & understanding completely & thoroughly*
I've been there buddy....
1. Download a safe kernel *.tar for flashing from pc odin
- after install u'll be able to get into recovery
2. Get an original firmware from www.sammobile.com
-u r gonna flash it from pc odin along with the PIT file.
-- boot into download mode
-- flash firmware
-- finish... now can continue flash new kernel and ROM
Refer to dr.Ketan's flashing / brick guide

Try flashing another tom
And if you are not sure about flashing a rom,its better to take it again to service center
was it proper Samsung service center?
what did they say? did they change the motherboard?
check if your usb storage is 11gb, if yes, then flash a safe kernel and do a factory reset and test again

Woah so many people wiping on stock ics and using cwm.zip... Widely known as dangerous... Guess all of you went straight to YouTube instead of coming here and read how to do stuff.. Ends up by learning the hard way and the expensive way

[Q] Stuck on Samsung Logo no Download or Recovery mode

Hey,
i wanted to flash from an unsafe kernel(ZCLP5) to a safe one and got the recent CM10 kernel (Kernel_CM10.1_20130130_Nightly_CWM.zip),
i then went into recovery mode and flashed the zip from sdcard and yeh here i am.
After the samsung logo appears i get a black screen and the software buttons flash once, no way to go into recovery or download mode.
When checking out the logcat with adb and grepping for "error" and "fail" i can see that the device fails to call eglInitialize (EGL_BAD_ALLOC) that, i guess, is initializing the OpenGL ES graphics lib.
So i'm a developer myself but not into android, where do i go from here?
Best greetings and thanks for support in advance.
What Rom did you have before?
I guess CM kernel doesn't work with your Rom (if it's TW).
Did you press the three buttons long enough for getting into recovery or download mode?
Easiest way: If you really do not get into recovery you should download a Stock Rom and install it with PC Odin.

Hey,
yes i'm sure i pressed them long enough.
I was on one of the first ics releases ported from a galaxy S2 i'm quite sure this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516515
I guess for pc odin i need to be in download mode that is also not accessible :/
Tanks, and greetings.
EDIT:
Oh man somehow i get into download mode now, i swear i tried several times.
So you recommend that i flash stock rom now?
Will heimdall also work instead of odin?

Thanks for your support guys, after flashing stock rom, the stock launcher was broken but i was able to get to the settings via the status bar and by that enable usb debugging.
Then i pushed and installed clockwork recovery and after that flashed the current cyanogen mod.

download the rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
then you need to put the phone in download mode and connect to PC.. open odin and it should show that the phone is connected by showing a Yellow Box with COM:X
once this is done, place the rom (tar.md5 file) in the PDA tab (if only 1 rom file) and appropriate places if 3 rom files.
the press start.. the phone will start downloading. let it finish and the phone will reboot.. once done.. boot into recovery and choose factory reset. (GB rom is safe to reset using stock recovery)

THE PROBLEM İS NOW NAND writing start!! stuck what to do now please step by step im sooo noob and try to fix something i get moreee problemmm
Go to the above thread and download the pit file from there. Then in odin select the pit file under pit tab. This will auto tick the repartition option. Then select the rom in pda again. Reboot the phone into download mode and try again.
Freezing on nandwrite start is not a good sign.

What did you do? Repartition?
If that.. Then use a small rom.. Like slimbean or cm roms. You could also try slimwizz. Big roms may not work properly.

because they said so its only way to fix or if i did untick repartition will it still flash i wasnt sure there is no fix for that i dont like custom roms i think stock roms not bad about speed especailly 4.0.4 what if 4.1.2 come up ?
In this case, you could try with the J leaks which are small like slimwizz. Stock ICS roms are huge so may cause trouble. But you could try some stock based custom roms out there.
