[Q] [HELP]Can't access recovery or download - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have made a stupid mistake with my note, running an asylum rom, hydracore kernel, with no problems, however I hastily flashed the CM9/10 samsung apps zip and it has broken the phone, it boots however it hangs at the end of updating apps, and will not go any further.
The big problem is that I now cant get recovery or download mode with any key presses.
Any way to recover the device?

Check if it is taking charging or not.if taking charging then go for a jig.jig will put you in download mode.there is a thread on how to use a jig.ok
And in my opinion stay on stock please

I don't understand is how flashing apk will break the recovery or download mode. remove the battery and try after a while

Have you tried removing the battery to turn off the phone and boot into recovery with home+power+up vol keys? Of course battery charge is of primary consideration when flashing.

Alright guys i have got a galaxy s. Have got some issues with my galaxy basically i have been using rom manager i was running rombie v_2a via rom manager with clock work mod installed then my phone ran out of battery one day. So i picked up the phone plugged in charger and the phone loads with a round circle then the picture of the battery will show up and then the phone turns off. So i left the phone to charge for a while it kept showing a pic of the battery on start up then totally turning off again. So tried recovery and it wont boot into recovery. But it will boot into download and odin detects the phone. Flashed the phone booted me into froyo after flash but as soon as i turn off the phone it does the same thing again round circle picture of battery then off. I can flash the fone and all runs fine as soon as i turn it off i get the reboot problem anyone got any ideas cheers wattsy1612
can anyone help i got no recovery but i have d/l mode the fone will launch only from clean flash it will only boot if auto reboot is ticked in odin with clean flash i had clockwork but ssems the phone stopped booting evertime power is lost
Still cant reboot my phone totally screwed it will reboot if i tick auto reboot in odin after flashing from download mode but if i simply turn it off it just wont boot it just goes too white loading circle and shows a picture of the battery and then just powers off i cant enter recovery anymore either only download mode can any one help me out pls guys
That icon means kernel is screwed. See if u can flash eclair jm8 using pit 512 as its a known good state to start with. Also its the recommened rom to use before flash to froyos

icky boo have tried what you said and still the same mate no recovery and no start up like i say if auto reboot in odin is ticked the phone will boot any ideas mate
That's how I updated and recover when ever a kernel update fails. Maybe your phone is actually screwed. Can you enter recovery mode? Using vol up instead of vol down. If you can means your bootloader still works.

Also there seems to be a lot of problems with Canadian i9000m phones with internal memory dying. Uf you have one of them that maybe the reason

You have to try the software smartflash, with that you will return to the stock rom! Are you sure that you can not get into Recovery? In recovery you enter by pressing the power button and volume -!!
i have this, it keeps going LG. off on LG. off on?
just take out battery. put battery in. while pressing POWER + VOL DOWN.
it will boot into CWM. well should. Only way i got out of it. or i would have rage thrown fone at wall.
I have done that but doesnt help..... I did install smart flash and it says flash successfull but still gets stuck at LG Logo..... This is some weard ****.... plz help

i had another problem ontop of this. (bad baseband and ril) meaning the battery was like charging then saying 98% then saying 3% then no wifi no sdcard(ext) etc. i was like NOOOOOOOOOOO... battery draining super fast. phone heating up. then i emergency try to re flash. (have no access to put files on sd card) re flashed the only zip on the sd card (lucky cm9) which has aroma launcher, enable me to do a FULL WIPE. then once into CM9 (after it freezes on boot screen (animation) for like 2 minutes. furioiusly pressing buttons wondering if batt is going flat, get into menu. hold power force reboot into recovery mode. (sometimes its really annoying to get into recovery cause hold to long reset/reload no recovery. sometimes easier to hold power in boot into recovery via PHONE CM9 loaded.
i figured out it was the kernel was making my baseband read as UNKNOWN even tho it could tell me the version. ha. only fix was to do a full wipe.
the problem you probably have is. NO WAY TO PUT ANY OTHER ROM/STOCK onto SD CARD cause you have no other device with USB MASS STORAGE SD CARD???
if you can do that, then your ok.
if you cant then you need to go into cwm.
do a restore. if you have a backup. if the backup is ext3 and you have used ex4 roms like CM7/9 then the recovery will fail. and you will still be bad...
try doing in CWM recovery (full wipe/reset/cache/dav etc) ? silly question im sure you would have tried everything.
hmm. the only solution is to get another ROM (ext4) unless u can get backtoext3.zip.
you need the files on the SD CARD.. then you should be ok . right?
Try booting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache and the other caches maybe?

And also, what rom are you trying to flash? Make sure you have the right one for your phone! you can also try out other roms that may make the flashing go more smoothly

[Q] Note GT-N7000 boots to Samsung screen and then flickers off

Hi,
I was using Slim Rom 4.2.2 on my note,
I rebooted into CWM and flashed SpeedMod k3-11 and rebooted the phone without wiping anything on the device.
It is now stuck where I cannot get to recovery mode the phone screen goes strange and the image distorts before it turns itself off again.
Any idea what I can do to try and recover the phone, is it possible without being able to get to CWM?
Thanks :crying:
If you can get to down load mode you can use PC Odin to flash a kernel like pilz kernel and do all wipes then flash the ROM again from pilz kernel after flashing with PC Odin phone should reboot on its own and then boot loop just hold power - up - and home and you should get pilz recover witch is safe and can handle your flashing needs

[Q] No Recovery mode and No Download mode.

Hello XDA peeps,
So here is my situation, some days ago (like 3-4 months ago) I installed CM 10.1 on my Captivate. Everything went well and I can even open my phone and use it. But the problem was, after installing that ROM, I no longer can get into recovery mode or download mode. I tried everything possible, the button combo method, button combo and battery pull in method, button combo and USB pull in method and also tried ADB "restart recovery / reboot download" I think, (does not remember because it was 3-4 months ago). Tried everything correctly and stopped trying when I could not get into download mode or recovery mode. The last option I have is a USB jig, but the thing is I don't have it and I will need to buy it from abroad if I want it.
Some more information: When I try to put it in download mode, it gets in a boot loop (I see the AT&T logo and then reboots), the boot loop stops when I leave the buttons. And also when I switch on the phone, it does display the battery charging animation.
And also I've heard some people saying that it might be because I flashed some incompatible kernal or something. (This might be true, because I also don't remember what I did to flash the ROM )
So, I want to fix this now because I want to update my phone to the CyanFox 4.3 ROM which seems very cool . Is there anyway I can fix this recovery mode or download mode on this phone so that I could flash a new ROM to my phone (without the jig if possible)
Thank you lots peeps.

Download and recovery mode aren't affected by ROM flashing. If you can run your phone just fine, then your kernel is fine.
Now my guess is that one of your button isn't working properly, or that you're using the wrong combo. That being said, when you hold the power button (while phone is powered on), you should have an extended menu that gives you the option of booting in recovery or download mode, have you tried those?
As for a jig, you can make one if you don't wanna order one. It's fairly simple and we have a guide in here on how to for just a couple bucks.

Thank you for your reply. Yes I did try that also. But it just does a normal restart. I tried the the ADB "reboot recovery" also. It also didn't help. I even downloaded an app to reboot into recovery, but no help.
And yesterday I got a jig from my friend, it worked on his infuse but did not work on my Captivate. He said that it might be because he is using a 330K resistor. So I ordered a jig from ebay. It will take some time to reach here.
Is there anything else I can try? maybe push a recovery or something using ADB? Sorry if I am being noob here
Once again, thanks for your support.
At this point i would just wait for the jig. And yes, Samsung galaxy jig requires 301k.

Ok, I will wait for the jig and when I get it, I will post the result.
Once again Thank you for your help
Aaaand all of a sudden I was wondering, can this be a bootloader problem? Maybe my bootloader got locked somehow or something?
The best thing is still to wait for the Jig or make one, as BWolf56 suggested.
Once ya have the Jig and If u can get into Download Mode with it, I suggest that u flash the One Click Odin or Heimdall Stock Android 2.3.5 i897uckk4 that includes the Bootloaders. (See the stickied One Click thread in the Dev forum, Post #3). If that is successful, do not flash any Bootloaders again. U can then proceed to flash the KK4 Corn Kernel, the .tar version of the kernel v7.0A, through Odin and then use that CWM Recovery that is baked into that kernel to go on flashin other Roms, etc.
If u cannot get into Download Mode with the Jig, then ur micro usb port of ur phone may be the fault. (But still an app should work from the play store to reboot to download or recovery)...anyway that is all i got for now.
Keep us posted.

[Q] Return to Official Firmware

I rooted and installed CWM and Cyanogen 10.1.3 on by brothers Note, GT-N7000. He didnt enjoy it as some unexpected errors were coming up sometimes. Luckily i found the official Rom 4.1.2 N7000DDLSC_INU.zip through sammobile. Now My questions are:-
1. What must i do to completely remove cyanogenmod and clock work recovery.
2. Do i need some additional files like, kernel or bootloader or phone or csc (or will just all this zip to pda will install it)
3. What else should i take care of?
Please advice i want to completely return to official state
nothing much.. just the rom file you downloaded in tar.md5 format. Boot into recovery and factory reset the phone. then boot into download mode and flash the new rom..
But will that remove clock work mod.?
And will my device get recognised in kies?

Yes
Now there's another panga. The phone received the files properly fine through doing but not installing after booting
Gets shut down at logo. This I tried it 2.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Kindly elaborate... Did you factory reset prior to using Odin?
Ok.
I went into cwm.
1 I factory reset. Wiped the data
2 wiped catche
3 wiped dalvic catche
4 went into download mode
5 with Odin 1.85 recognised device installed official rom.
The progress was shown in both phone and Odin. Factoryfs, kernel, hidden and catche shown to be successfully copied.
Only the auto reboot was selected
After device restated it shouted the Samsung logo. Without triangle
I thought it was a success.
Then I saw green Android logo with install process which seemed to have successfully completed on the phone.
but then just as the Samsung and a ring revolving screen came up, insured of booting up the device got shut down.
I thought it will reboot ok but it didn't. I tried restating several times but it kept getting shutdown.
I then flashed the official firmware again but this time after Odin transferred all the files on the phone, the green android logo is not able to complete the installation in the middle of it the phone is restating showing the battery charging logo, then the green bot trying to install then again it restarts.
To sum up
I note

Sorry I posted by mistake
To sum up I I now am stuck in a loop where connecting the cable starts showing the battery charge logo, starts the device shows android logo with progress in the belly and a progress bar at the bottom restarts again allowing the battery logo again the Android thing and so on in a loop.
Please advice

Not sure if you have any other strong reason to go back to pure stock. Otherwise the easiest way is to install a stock base custom rom using PhilZ kernel and rom.zip. Sweet rom 10.5 is very good. Fast and stable.
Install purestock rom via odin is a pain and can cause lots of problems due to poor cable connection.

Did you have enough battery before flashing? Power off the phone.. Then connect it to ac charger for couple of hours and then remove the charger and start the phone.
I do believe I had more than 80%on the 1st attempt but I can't say that about this morning.
Any ways I did put it on charge today. Nearly two hours. Since it was looping on the battery and installation thing I put it on download mode. But now after removing from download mode is not even starting on download mode. I feel is further damaged. Any other software to interact with the phone or any other options I might have left

If it is not the batery then software does not help. There is a tool name usb jig which can help put phone to DL mode.

Thanks people for all the support. I think I will take it to the Samsung people as it is getting a little scary for my brother to trust me with this
