You sure you have enough battery on your phone? Go to download mode again and flash gingerbread, root the phone. Then copy the slim bean into your internal SD card. Now go into CWM and do three wipes (Cache, Dalvik and Data). And flash the ROM....It should be up and running after that...

If it doesn't boot flashing GB again sorts the problem out, thats GB again! It means your IMEI has lost. You need to go back to stock rom to retrieve your IMEI. Download any gingerbread stock rom from net.

Sorry if I interrupt, but i have a quite similar problem. My SGS DOES boot though, and works okay... BUT it isn´t recognized proberly by my pc(although having all drivers installed) tried reinstalling both drivers and whole OS. Also tried other computers and cables. Phone boot fine in download and recovery mode but isn´t recognized by Odin, heimdall, oneclick etc.? My question is as following: Is it in anyway possible to grab a OTA/STOCK .zip to flash in Recovery 3e??
Thanks

but when i flash semaphore kernel i don't get root

When you flash from GB to ICS or jb and even fro. Ics to jb it will reboot on install then you need to go back into recovery and run the install a second time this is due to a partition change and the kernel needing to be rebooted into one compatible with those partitions so basicly flash cm9 or 10 twice for it to boot correctly

[Q] What`s the correct kernel to my device??

Hi guys. I have a I9000 and i want to install the CyanogenMod 9 on it. I`ve Already rooted my phone using the Unlock Root. However, I can`t go to the Clockworkmod recovery to install customs rooms. I tried to flash the CWM recovery using the Rom Manager app, but when i was installing, an error happened. I figured out that the problem is my kernel that is not compatible with the CWM. I know that i have to flash a compatible kernel using Odin, but which kernel should i flash??? My device is a Galaxy S I9000, 2.3.5 android, and 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVT-CL617736 kernel. Already rooted. Please someone could help me??
Thank you so much

Don't use rom manager, use Odin to flash, CWM is bundled with rooted kernel (CF-root, Semaphore)
Here is a collection of links and tips to tackle different situations when flashing, updating, fixes...

Most important is to start making a backup of files in /efs folder in case of IMEI loss after some flash job.

Hi, I have the same error problem, cf root was not bundled with my own root package. I flashed to gingerbread 2.3.6 xwjw1, I also tried rom manager to flash recovery and it was successful, but when I rebooted to recovery to backup my current rom it bootes to the android (3e) recovery. As I've discovered it seems rom manager is not compatible with the xwjw1 series. How do I get the correct cf root for xwjw1? Believe me I have tried google and am scared of the things I see since "jw1" is not behind any of the cf root packages I see. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

xtome
On xwjw1 you can Odin flash as PDA Semaphore 250 tar kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14481782
Untick re-partition before flashing.
After reboot you may need to install Superuser from Play Store.
That will give you root, CWM, gingerbread ready for CM9.1

Use Odin to flash (put .tar in PDA and uncheck repartition). You can flash Semaphore JVT 1.8.0 or CF-Root v4.3

Thanks Sunny men, but OT's advice worked, I can now boot to semaphore recovery and wipe etc.
Question though, if I now flash cm9.1 rom, will I be able to boot to recovery without the holding any button combinations. What I mean is can I boot to recovery from the shutdown menu or do I need an app for it?
Also is cm9.1 the best rom for my phone? any thots guys? Thanks again.

Yes, in CM 9.1 you can boot directly to recovery from the shutdown menu. CM 9.1 is very stable and fast, so try it. And when you flash CM9 for the first time, your galaxy will go into a bootloop. Then remove the battery, put it in, go to recovery with 3-button configuration and flash it again.

Thanks sin007, that is invaluable advice. Will do just that. thanks again.

Hi guys, thanks for all the help. I have flashed CM 9.1 successfully.
Everything works OK for now.
Also flashed gapps, CM 9.1 seems to be a great ROM.
I have a question though, the gapps I flashed seems to have only a few Google apps, play store and Google talk. The file size was 49mb so is that all that's in gapps or is there a hidden mode or something.
Also, sin007 I can't find any reboot to recovery from the shutdown menu, though I flashed a stable version of CM 9.1 and not a "nighty version". Could that be the reason? But no biggie, CM 9.1 comes with rom manager.
Finally I wouldn't mind any tips you guys have on making the most out of the ROM.
Thanks and all the best.

Shutdown menu - Reboot - Recovery
OK?

There is an APP on google play, sgs kernel flash, it is easier and faster than Odin. And works perfectly. I've flash the speedmod kernel and finally upgrade to cyanogenmod 9.1.
Anyone knows if this APP works on galaxy s2 (i9100)?

first ensure you have a charged battery, than power down, remove battery, remove Ext SD card and SIM card, press power button for a min and reinsert battery and power up. If still the same, Go into download mode and flash the bootloader with AriesVe.ops

Try to solve the recovery problem (if any) first, by Flashing a 6.0 CWM or Touch CWM or what broodplank1337 had advised.
In CWM you can clean out (format) everything before you install a ROM, Best to move all your backups and important files to PC before you format

Hi there, did you try to flash on an unsafe kernel? Please read the numerous posts on Safe / Unsafe kernels, then consult Chasmodo's excellent Kernel Repository.
Before flashing a ROM, I would suggest you download the Abyss 4.2 kernel (tar file), you can search and find this on XDA.
Connect your Note to Odin and flash the Abyss 4.2 tar file. This will install a safe (Gingerbread) kernel. Again there are posts on how to do this.
Enter Recovery and flash your ROM of choice.
Remember to ALWAYS flash on a safe kernel. If you are not sure, please check.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Thanks for posting you all,
I was flashing a new rom with cwm and suddently appeared an error: E: can't...
I took off the battery and put it again and reboot it again...
And so it stucked at the initial logo.
P.S: i had a cooked rom before that happened

But, what new ROM were you flashing and what were you on prior? You have to explain yourself better. Did you do a factory reset/wipe data on a PURELY STOCK ROM or did you use philz kernel or a CM9/10 variant or something else?

Sounds to me as if you flashed from an unsafe kernel. You must ALWAYS check the kernel is safe before you flash.
I would recommend you flash a safe kernel (via Recovery or Odin - there are guides on both methods). Abyss 4.2 is my personal choice.
Then, when the kernel has been flashed, reboot back to Recovery before flashing a ROM. Do not got straight to ROM flash.
These steps should help.

thanks for your help but there s still a problem... if a flash a rom with odin it stucks at factory.fs..
i did everything and at last i used the adb program and i removed the old partition like factory.fs and created new one..... after that i converted them in ext4 by going in (cwm recovery) mounts and storage and check format /data and format /system...
after that i installed the cm 9 Nightlies and the phone worked again =D
so...after that.... i installed odin mobile pro and Odin Flash Kernel for GT-N7000 ...then i downloaded a stock rom ics (N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT) and i flashed it with odin mobiel pro =)
everything was working fine until it stopped at installing or updating (i don't know) the new applications like kies,Smemo ecc.....

Flash back to cm base. If you have damaged emmc its likely you won't be able to run stock roms anymore because of the damaged space. ie. Stock rom 600-800mb, cm based 150mb

He is saying you can use any CM based ROM. Crash and such are still based on stock Samsung and pretty big in size. Maybe try something like SlimBean.

[Q] weird bug. need expert advice + solution

Today I tried to update my phone to a new custom rom.
I followed the instructions of the threads and tried to get it to work.
Of course it didn't work or else I wouldn't be here right now asking for help.
Here's the current situation.
I am able to boot into download mode + recovery mode and also boot into cwmr and install a different kernel.
I used pc odin to install it each time and it does pass and the rom (i've tried installing a gingerbread rom so that I can try everything again) does install.
the problem is that it is currently stuck in a boot loop at the "Samsung galaxy note gt-N7000" screen.
I have looked up dr.ketan's posts and tried some too.
currently i am booting abyss note kernel 42cwt touch original. (I know for sure it is a workable kernel because I've been using it this whole time.
here's what i've done. please tell me what i've done wrong and the possible ways to reverse it.
1. backed up everything
2. went into recovery
3. factory reset/cache clear
4. use pc odin to install new kernel (since I was looking into switching to another kernel anyways)
5. use pc odin again to install gingerbread rom (I do get the green light saying it did get installed
6. phone auto reboots
7. it gets stuck at the boot loop like i have mentioned above
i will try to attach a few pictures of my note as soon as I can so you can see what's going on with it.

What rom is there on the phone now ? if you boot into recovery .. what recovery do you get now ? CWM or stock ardroid 3e recovery ?

Right now it reboots to 3e recovery.
The rom that I tried to inject to it is currently a the stock gingerbread rom from dr. Ketans thread.
The rom that I had on it is the official ics rom for the hk region.
The rom that I wanted to inject to it was a custom jb rom that uses hydracore as a kernel.
Thanks!!

try installing a prerooted Gb rom or an ICS stock rom using PC odin.. if you choose ICS, after flash install a safe kernel..

If I do a stock ics update can I just do it through kies or do I have to do it through pc odin? Also. Would abyss or hydracore considered as a safe kernel???

yes if kies can do it then good but at this situation i dont think. its better to use PC odin for now. yes both are safe kernels

I've tried your suggestions...and it didn't seem to work out too well.
I am able to flash to different kernels and get in and out of different recovers and such, but ya...still no luck with running a rom.

Well I am not sure but I soft bricked my phone when I tried that Abyss Kernel. In my view Hydracore is safe. Philz is super safe.
Flash ICS which matches your region using Odin. If phone boots flash Philz, If not, then be ready to read a lot of stuff or get phone repaired.

Hey guys. my note seems to have cooperated and allowed me to flash a new rom and also a new kernel. Here's the catch though, now it's stuck in the samsung logo and won't boot beyond that. Any suggestions of what to do? I am continually searching on the forums to find a solution.
At least I'm happy to know it's not a brick that can't be fixed.
Thanks nokiamodeIn91 for your help so far. I really appreciate it.

which rom did you flash and which kernel? how?

I currently flashed the abyss note kernel 42 cw touch and I downloaded an old gb rom from sammobile .
Here's what I did.
1. Put my phone into download mode
2. Run as admin on PC Odin
3. Selected the Abyss kernel then flashed it.
4. Boot into the cmw, wiped cache then booted the phone into download mode again.
5. Then I installed the old GB Rom on to my phone and restarted it.
6. Phone starts, loads past the GT-N7000 logo and goes into the samsung boot logo.
7. Phone repeats the animation of the samsung logo a time or two then restarts on its own. This loops until the phone is completely drained. I know that the rom works because that was the rom that I used to root my phone. I definitely don't mind downloading another rom if I have to.
my current goal, if we can fix this, is to quickly just update to the official jb rom for n7000 and not play around with the rooting and such until I have even more time to learn more.
at least I know for sure my phone isn't hardbricked, I would imagine I have either missed a step or something that caused the problem.
I have read through the forum and I did come across one post talking about checking my phone's partition and such.
I got to be honest, I'm really not technically skilled enough at this point in time to dare to mess around with that type of thing yet especially with so much coding to make sense of it. (I know this is kind of dumb to say especially when I rooted my phone and screwed up this bad). More importantly, I don't even know for sure if I need to do a partition or not.
Please let me know what I did wrong and how I can fix it.
I got a question though (out of curiosity), how come there's no toolkit for the n7000 like the S3 and also the note 2???

this is the name of the old gb rom that I tried flashing.
N7000ZSKJ6_N7000OZSKJ6_N7000XXKJ6_HOME.tar
I actually have tried several other roms as well (from GB-JB, official and custom) and all of them so far has gotten to the samsung boot logo
I have read on the forums to try using Philz-cwm 6 kernel but I don't know if it'd solve my problem.
let me show you one of the threads I have read, if I dived into the wrong material let me know and I won't consider using it (or learn how to use it) for my current situation

like I was saying before, I really have no experience in coding so all the things that really made near no sense to me. I understand the basic concept of what its trying to do it's just seems like a very unsafe method for me to try especially when I lack the necessary knowledge in this area of expertise.

did you flash the GB rom using the standard PIT file ?
also you could try with the 5 file flashing method from this thread

Hello..
Why are you only wiping cache.
You should have done a factory reset on that step.
