[Q] Note Root problems (After yellow triangle)

My note is 2.3.6 , N7000LA2, now kernel is XXKKA,
I am not an expert, so I rooted in a wrong way then causing yellow triangle, But i removed the triangle finally
Actually I want to flash andriod 4.0 / other ICS theme rom, what procedure I should do now??
1. Is my note not a correct kernel now??
(I feel that the battery consumed faster than before, & not as smooth as than before getting yellow triangle)
2. Can I use a regular way (using odin to root back the right kernel & flash rom)?
3. my cwm mgr is not working correctly, how should i do??
Please advise ..
Many Many many thanks!

Do you have root working now?
If yes, update CWM, you can get proper kernel from my thread 'How to Root'(c signature for link)
after that you can update to any ROM with CWM

Thank you so much!
My colleague's fd finally helped me flash a new kernel ([email protected]#3)
But I have some questions
1) which version is this kernel??
2) can i keep this kernel , then flash another 4.0 rom??
3) if i dont want to use odin (pc version) to flash, can i use mobile odin or cwm to flash?
what exact procedure i have to do?
please advise..
thanks !!!

this is abyssnote kernel, universal
you can use CWM to update 4.0 ROM, put file on SD card n boot in recovery.
select flash zip file, point to ROM file, confirm it by saying ye, done.
if get bootloop, wipe cache, wipe data (it will wipe off data so take backup b4 proceeding)

dr.ketan , really thanks for your prompt reply
but I am now in another bad situation..
I flashed something wrong & the note keep rebooting, & then now cannot get in the system , just stop at the N7000 welcome page,
But i can go to CWM recovery

get into recovery, wipe cache, wipe delvic cache
still not works wipe data (you will lose data) This is routine for 4.0 based ROM
And wat u mean by 'something wrong', you are not sure it was custom ROM file?
If nothing works then go to download mode n flash older Stock ROM with PC odin

Thanks dr.ketan!
But it is not 4.0 based rom yet, just a 2.3.6, official rom (before "broke" )
So, should i still follow your method to do??
or should i get into recovery, try to flash the stock rom N7000OZSLA2 ?
I think i flashed the wrong version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415567

Now I find I cant flash any rom by CWM....
"installation aborted"

Have u wipe data ? If not do it first thn flash stock rom using pc odin

thanks ketan!
I really didnt wipe data, but finally flash stock rom by pc odin
done by following your post , thats really useful!
I flash hk version LA2, but cant root
& then flash KJ1 Factoryfs, got the CWM
lastly I flash the abyssnote kernel
so is my SGN now contains a KJ1 rom?
can i flash back to LA2 without losing the root?
or is there any big differences between KJ1 & LA2??
& one more, I want to add the battery %, where can i find/search the suitable one for my SGN

Now you can flash to la2 with CWM n keep cf-root when ask
Or use mobile odin n enable everroot option in mobile odin n flash

Thank you so much ketan!
I got LA2 n keep the cf-root now!
One thing I want to ask :
Is any roms to flash can follow the below procedure?
or which situations cannot follow this procedure:
Thanks.
2. CWM recovery (you need Root + CWM on existing ROM. Get )
Download the ROM. Extract it.
Create folder /sdcard/external_sd/firmware (thats folder "firmware" (lowercase) on your external SD card) (see image)

This is for Stock ROM only
If you want to flash custom rom, u have to select flash zip option, not 'flash stock firmware' option

Galaxy note stuck at boot and not installing any other rom

i have a problem with my galaxy note, i was using isc stunner rom and everything was working fine. My battery got drained and the powered off, so i charged it and turned it on , the phone got stuck on the bootscreen. It does not boot up, so i tried to reflash the same rom but didnt work, i wiped my memory card but no luck. Now whenever i try to flash a rom cwm gets stuck on installing update. Please help me and reply asap!

go to download mode and flash a stock kernel. search in this forum how to do that.

Take out the external SD card
download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your external SD Card
Also download the Rom you want to install and put it on your external SD card.
reboot to CWMR
go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery
factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
flash the Rom of your choice

I tried to flash abyssnote kernel but when i flash it the installation is stuck on 'Installing update' and it just stays there and never progresses in any way.
so yeah whenever i flash the kernel im stuck on 'installing update'
any fix for this bros?

You lost root mate..
There is a thread with "Stock Prerooted GB ROMs", go there and download any one and flash it using PC Odin..if flashing with PC Odin succeded but yo0 still get bootloop reboot to recovery and do a factory reset/data wipe, it'll boot without issues
Then go to Chainfire's thread and get the CF Root kernel for the ROM you just flashed, because the prerooted ROMs don't have CWM recovery..fladh that kernel using "already rooted.bat" method described in post #2 in Chainfire's thread..
You'll end up with stock rooted GB and CWM recovery..from there you choose what you eant to do

probably best starting from scratch again and installing a gb from via odin

This works and is triangle free too. I did the same to avoid any more flashing/erasing with the potentially dangerous ICS repack kernels.

I have a similar problem. After installing Stunner ROM on my note, it work for a bit, but then I don't remember what I did, it is now stuck on boot screen. I can't do anything except boot into recovery.
Did I lose root? How exactly can I fix it. I read the post you referred to, but I can't do anything when I execute Odin with my Gnote N7000 connected to my PC. Can you tell me how exactly I have to do? Please provide the exact link for any software I need to download.
Please reply ASAP,
Appreciated.

You have to be in downloadmode to b able to work with PC Odin
( Device off ->Volume down + Home + Power.)

same here but when factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cache.
all is working fine.

Thank you! Yes now I have communication to the phone using Odin! ) But I 'm still trying to figure out what exactly I need to do to get back on stock GB and then go from there (ie. what file(s) I need to flash back to stock GB. My original GB version was 2.3.6). If you know, could you please provide me the link(s) to download those files. I did tried "wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache" in recovery as the other gentleman suggested but did not work. So I guess I do need to flash back to GB .
Thanks a million

The question is what file(s) do I need to re-flash it with? I tried to find the thread "Stock Prerooted GB ROMs" suggested by matius44, but I found a ton of threads related to it that I 'm having a hard time to figure out which is the exact one(s) for my Note.

I was in a boot loop recently. I just flashed a stock GB rom via PC Odin, and reset to factory/wipe cache in stock recovery. Booted up after that. Important part is get GB on there and do the resets. Then you can worry about root, etc.

Oh thanks! Can you provide a link where can I find the stock GB rom for my note. I have the Gt-N7000 model and my original GB version was 2.3.6. This is all I remember - can't remember what kernel, baseband etc.

You can flash any stock GB rom you want. Just choose one from dr.ketans thread in development section

Thank you
TY for this granular info.

This is the thread with the pre rooted GB roms:

Though it doesn't really matter which one you choose (as long as it has your preferred language code in it), i can imagine that you want to do it 'the right way'.
Take a look over here to maybe get it more clear for you:

Thank you so much!, bro. Now that I 'm clear I just picked a rom from 'bodivas's post' and re-flashed it back to stock and everything works like a champ now! Just didn't know i could have used any of those - thought I had to match exactly the specific versions of kernel/baseband/country etc. etc.. hahaha.... Next I 'll work on the ICS again. And thanks & credit for everyone who have helped.

Were you rooted on the base Android ROM? Was it GB? Whatever it was, first flash a standard GB using PC ODIN and then root it and then try a new ROM. You can get stock GB ROMs here

Flash stock GingerBread rom from PC odin and root it . Else you can flash pre rooted GB roms like Checkrom, rocketrom etc etc etc from the whichever ICS rom you are currenntly on .This is how I flash Gingerbread rom from EMMC bug infected ICS rom , flash abyss kernel 3.9 and the reboot recovery into abyss kernel 3.9 and then wipe data , cache and dalvik cache and then flash CheckRom Revo HD V6 and reboot your phone.
Once your phone is successfully running GB rom with proper root and clockworkmod recovery , go to clockworkmod recovery and wipe data , cache , dalvik cache and flash paranoid android directly ( dont flash abyss kernel or any other kernel , GB rom with CF root kernel or whichever kernel the pre-rooted GB roms like checkrom and rocketrom come with ) , and finally after flashing wipe data , cache and dalvik cache . You will boot paranoid android properly .
I dont want you to brick your phone , so explained the whole process from gingerbread rom installation

Thanx Friend,
I have flashed b4 from stock ICS kernal to Anidroid ROM, but now that is not the real problem, now i am on stock GB Rom, which i have installed via Odin, Kindly check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783625 this thread which i have just started, i hope you will understand my problem by looking to this thread, also as i am on GB kernal right now, without rooted, so still i dont need to afraid of EMMC brick bug (I assume it is problem with stock ICS kernals.).

And I had screwed my galaxy bote and had hard bricked my phone , it was gone mate , my phone had almost seem its last days , but i did save it and gave it a new life . Well here is what happened ( again in detail ) - I was KingDroid V2 rom , even when i knew all the ics roms at that time had emmc brick bug , I was fool enough to do a data wipe :crying: , and **** !!!! my phone did boot any rom , i was not even able to flash any rom , not even stock unrooted samsung roms via pc odin . I couldnt even get my phone into recovery mode !!!!!! The only thing that was working on my phone was the download mode !! Thank god !!!!:fingers-crossed: . I tried to re-partition using the original 16GB pit file( as i have 16GB Galaxy note N7000 ) but it was in vain. And then I read some post in XDA developers which mentioned how to RE-ARRANGE the partition.
[ Well I think you don't know what happens when you do a data wipe with emmc bug infected kernel ???? Right ? well here goes an explaination fro that , (i love explaining things to others :cyclops In simple words when you do a data wipe on an EMMC bug infected kernel a part of your internal SD card gets infected , I mean it becomes non-functional , it doesn't respond to read /write commands issued over that sector of internal SD ]
so out of my 16GB internal memory , memory sectors from 1049MB to 2200MB had got corrupted( found it by trial and error method ) , i couldn't use them anymore , so using the adb from the android platform tools , I edited the partitions and shifted the partition corresponding to 1049 MB to 2200MB, and then flashed abyss note kernel and then checkrom revo HD :fingers-crossed: . Viola my phone booted , I had got over the hard brick , but my internal storage had reduced to 10 Gb instead of 11 Gb due to unresponsive sectors in internal memory !!!
Next i did a reset of the flash counter and removed the yellow triangle and flashed the stock gingerbread rom (Indian version , where I am from ) via pc odin and it got stucj at FactoryFS stage , as expected !!!! . Next I handed it to Samsung service center and just told them that i was trying to update to ICS via kies and it got stuck . After few days they replaced my phone's motherboard for free :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

My friend i think your prob started while flashing paranoid rom u said that after flashing rom u made a full wipe... so i think u lost your root... just an idea
İf u can find a prerooted gb rom or u can root your gb rom u can flash paranoid rom

Hi harris,
Can you flash gb thru stock odin? of course you can... is it safe? yes it is.
I think the rule of law in flashing any custom roms, just to be in a safe side, is to always downgrade first to stock GB and work your way up in flashing whatever custom rom you would like to flash your phone to.
By the way, don't forget to wipe data once your already in stock GB (before upgrading again to whatever custom rom your going to flash)

thanks alot.:cyclops:

sounds like you just need to flash a kernel, i have had this issue before something with the kernel screws up and doesnt boot

Just put your phone in download mode and flash a custom kernel via pcodin. That will be okay. or if its not you have to flash a GB rom using PC Odin. Remember to do wipes after flash

after flashing a safe kernel or after you gone to GB (whichever is the case),yes you can go to CWM and wipe data from there.

Flash prerooted gb rom and wipe cache,delvic cache n data
Not necessary immidiately wipe, most probably you will face force closes on bootup.after flash, nothing to worrt, it will b solved with wipes.
Once evrything fine.after wipe, you can proceed to next step with cwm if you want to flash.custom rom, or with mobile odin if you want to flash stock ROM.

thank you guys i will tell you after the flashing.

[Q] JB to GB downgrade failure?

So, this is what happened. I first upgraded to the latest official JB 4.1.2 XXLSA firmware. I noticed that it still wasn't as fast as I'd like, and wanted to try a custom ROM instead. I read through the guides in here and get that I have to downgrade to a GB ROM first in order for me not to hardbrick my phone. So, I download "N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries" from that list over stock ROM's in the Q&A root guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 . I follow the flashing guide to the letter, puts my phone in download mode, runs the flash via Odin, the phone restarts, and everything goes south. Basically this happens: When I start my phone it get's to the point in the GB initial startup where I'm to touch the Android to start, but then all it does is throw messages at me about this service and that service having stopped responding, untill the phone reboots. So now I have reflashed back to the JB ROM.
So basically, what am I doing wrong, and what can I do to make a proper downgrade so I can get rooted, install CWM and get down and get it on with some custom ROM's?
Thx in advance!

Same happened with me. I flashed GB and was getting force close messages. But not a big problem. Just flash GB rom again. And after flashing just delete all user data from recovery and reboot. U wont get those messages any more.

You always need to WIPE data / factory reset after downgrading from JB .. GB is safe to go ahead.. if you choose ICS then first flash a safe kernel and then do wipe

It seems to me that KK5 is non wipe, which explains why you got those messages. The rest is detailed in nokiamodeln91's message BTW, JB is still not official for our Notes. What you installed was a leak with a safe kernel (if it was Philz).

Exactly.

I had this issue too when downgrading to GB. Wipe Cache and Dalvik and you should be ok from then on.

Wow. A lot of replies in just a single day. You guys are awesome
Now you say that the KK5 is non-wipe. Are there any GB-roms which are wipe, so to speak? Or do I have to do the flash to GB, enter recovery, wipe cache partition and do wipe/factory reset, then reboot into a now working phone, set up for root with USB and so forth, root and install CWM, copy the custom ROM to my SD-card (gonna go for ParanoidAndroid) as well as Google services if I want those, and then install them via CWM/Mobile Odin?

GB LC1 is wipe. But if you want PA (which is an excellent choice) just flash a CM10 kernel in your recovery (if your recovery is safe, like GB for example). Then follow Utacka's instructions for the installation.

But if I want CWM I should do root and install CWM there? And then flash the custom ROM from CWM?

The CM10 kernel comes with its own recovery where you can flash from. If you have root issues, just flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip. In any case don't flash from stock ICS with CMW.zip: if you are on ICS and not rooted flash the relevant Philz kernel (which is safe and will give you root and CWM) then the CM10 kernel.
Edit: what ROM do you have now?

I use the 4.1.2 XXLSA ROM
Btw, anyone knows where I can download the Google Services Framework so I can install it alongside Paranoid Android? I have been led to believe it's not included as per default
Thx for all the replies!!

If you have downloaded the xxlsa rom then it's inside the rom zip file. Path system/app/GoogleServicesFramework
