[Q] Least effort phone reset :-)

Hello, I need to go back from LP1 ICS (imilka) to stock rom, which is the easiest way to do that?
I do not have a Windows PC and no PC Odin for that reason, could I flash one of the stock roms with Mobile Odin?
Many thanks

Hi, as far as I can tell the procedure goes like this. You flash AbyssNote http://www.mediafire.com/?o2yi462tby2lzan
Then you restart recovery. Now full wipe and then you can flash stock rom or restore your nandroid backup. I hope this helps.
You can watch this just to be sure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3DDEh8vyc&hd=1

Also to know how to use mobile odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

Yes you can use mobile odin / cwm to flash stock rom.
I recommend wipe cache n data before n after switching custom to stock n wise versa.

hello,
yes flashing abyss with mobile odin worked fine, had to extract the zImage from the zip file first
will install rom now via recovery when download is finished, thx guys

Just mobile odin is enough
1.extract rom(stock) file to tar.md5 n place on sd card
2.open mobile odin, select open file n point to rom file.
3. enable ever root option if you want to keep root intact
4flash
Done
You need nothing to do with abyss kernel
Still u ned any clearance, download guide from last link on my signature, extract it. You will find a file 'update rom using mobile odin' in new folder.

[Q] Lots Of Questions

Hello XDA Community,
I am an 2 year XDA veteran, so i am properly familiar with all things related to XDA.
I currently own a Xperia X10 Mini Pro and a Xperia Mini Pro....
I tinker a lot with these 2 phones. SE phones mainly need fastboot.....
I just brought a Samsung Galaxy Note(SGN) N7000 (India) a few days back and am really excited to run CM9 on it.....
But i have alot of unanswered questions.....
So i just need the community's help...
1. Does the SGN have a stock recovery....????
My cousin has a Galaxy Tab 8.9 and it had a stock recovery. I just flashed a zip to root it and another zip for CWM......
2. What exactly is ODIN....?????
The Tab 8.9 had ODIN with a Recovery but our SGN does not seem to have one.......
3. Is it safe to upgrade to official Samsung ICS......????
There is alot of talk going on in the forum about HARD BRICKING our SGN if we upgrade........
4. What do i exactly have to do to get CWM......????
The guides in Development Section by dr.ketan have me totally confused, though i have rooted my SGN using DoomLord's Kit............
I am new to Samsung devices ant dont know the way they work.....
So any help will be extremely appreciated.......
Thanks.

I used Vol down + home + power while starting up, and the phone booted into ODIN but there is no recovery.....
The screen only shows " Start Downloading"...
What is this........???/
Whereas the ODIN in Tab 8.9 gave options to flash .zips and much more......
Help please......

Thats download mode, you use with odin from your PC.... use Vol up + home + power for recovery
Download mode is mostly used to flash stock roms (afaik) and they can be found http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-N7000&r=-1#modelsa

You CAN or CANT access download mode ? If you can, simply flash a stock ROM via ODIN.

Yes I can, I tried to downgrade to GB but it failed as well :/

I don't really clearly understood your issue.
But if you want to flash a Stock ICS Rom, start ODIN PC, start your SGNote in download mode (button volume down + home + power), then connect your SGNote to your PC and flash via ODIN PC.
If you don't know exactly how to use ODIN PC, check tutos on the forum.

When you say "it failed" you are going to have to be more specific. Please give us an error message. Did you get a NAND write start and factoryfs.img and it just freeze after that in Odin?

Reinstall your ADB/USB drivers, make sure you're using USB2.0 port - for me USB3.0 always results in failed flash, ultimately switch USB ports.

The file you download from dr. Ketan is a .rar file, unzip it once and you get a .tar file. Flash that file with Odin in pda section. So don`t unzip the .tar file again.

To start with - you need root to flash this custom ROM, so unrooting your device was a mistake, you have to root it again.
Now, i've never flashed Criskelo's ROM, but from what i've read in the thread, you need to root your device, flash Chainfire's ICS repack via mobile odin, and then flash criskelo rom via CWM. Do not unpack the .zip file, you need to point CWM to that file.

When you boot into recovery, is it CWM recovery?
If you are talking about not seeing the CWM app, don't worry about that.

[Q] HELPPPPP please soft brick

Hey peeps iv got a big problem it happened yesterday with my Galaxy note GTn7000. I was on stock ICS LPT and was flashing new kernels through CWM when suddenly my phone just kept freezing on the Samsung screen when I start it up and it has been happening since yesterday. I think it was the speedmod ICS kernel that I flashed that made this happen. I flashed Abys kernel through odin and could get in to CWM. I did factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik/cache and then flashed checkrom which was on my SD card. Installation was fine but then it got stuck on the Galaxy note startup screen. I was searching for answers on the XDA forums and someone suggested that you flash a stock full wipe GB rom. So I tried to flash LC1 open Europe rom and was waiting for an hour the the rom to flash through ODIN which had only a bit left on the bar to flash and it didn’t flash it just froze. I tried 3 times and the same thing happened . I have used the USB jig to erase previous downloads and reset binary count. I flashed ICS LPT rom through odin and it flashed normally but when it starts up it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Any suggestions? I can get into download mode and CWM so it means Im in a softbrick. Do you think I should download an ICS rom and put it on to my SD card and then try flashing it ? Help would be appreciated thanks.
Here is the video of what happens. Basically i have waited for 4 hours yesterday and it just stays on the samsung screen

Hey, Id recommend you flashing back to GB via ODIN before we continue.
ICS still has a few bugs and that could interfere with getting you back up and running.

Hey thanks i will download a new GB stock rom, i cant post the video link because im a new member dang...

So you've extracted the original tar file, you don't need to, just point the original tar file to the pda section of pc odin, it will sort out each partition for you.

Help! Phone keeps rebooting into Recovery Mode (CWM-based 6.0.1.1)

First i had a JB Rom on my GT-I9000 it got too hot using a app so i decided to flash CM9 on it after 2sec the installtion was aborted and i was thinking that it was trying to install CWM-Recovery but it didnt after 10min of waiting, i decided to pull the battery out. I tryed to start recovery mode but there was none. I used Odin and a pit file (Re-partion was checked) than i put a Devil 3 kernel on it. Recovery Mode was working but after i wiped everything and flashed Dark Knight 5.5 on it and clicked on reboot system now, i was sent back into recovery!!!!
Please help me to solve this problem.I am not a expert in android programm so please dont let it sound complicated
Thanks for your help.

I had this two before. Nothing would work to fix it. This is what I did
1. Flash back to stock 2.3.x with 512 pit
2. Boot into stock recovery and wipe data / factory reset
3. Pull battery and reboot into bootloader/download mode
4. Flash Devil kernel or semaphore tar with Odin.
5. Reboot into recovery and flash ROM of choice
6. Restore nandroid data through advanced restore or just start fresh.

Samfirmware.com to download the stock ROM.
Pit files just tell Odin how to repartition the device when flashing. Should come with Odin when you download it. There should be an 80x as well, just use 512.
Then select to use xxxx512.pit
Flash ROM in PDA.

Try this!
Try this:
All you have to do is revert to an older version of clockworkmod, I used version 6.0.12 I believe.
the file name is: CWM6012-CM9-recovery so it might be that. Yep that's it, now i can finally rest
