dr.ketan...i've read the post that said newer kernel cant be root unless it's been downgrade...mine is la1..so i download the file of kk1 to downgrade my note..im not using mobile odin(my bad..wrongly describe)...im using pc odin

Then its ok
Read your first post, it is confusing
Anyway juat check your pc, have kies installed but not running in nackground, close any other pc sync sw running, disable firewall/antivirus if running
Put once device into recovert, clear cahe , delvic cache, wipe data
N retry, i believe problem is at your pc side.

[Q] Please help me - ICS TO GB - DO NOT WANT TO BRICKS :(

I know that this is probably another post in a series of desperate to get back to ICS for GB, but please understand me, I did not want to get my phone is a brick
I used the CheckROM NoteHD ™ V6. I tried to go to Criskelo LPY V3's ICS ICS. I restarted my phone into recovery and I flash: AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo.zip
Then I reboot and recovery (the recovery RedTouch) I did factory reset, wipe and wipe cahce Dalvik cache and then and flash Criskelo LPY V3's ICS ICS. When the flash ended (I did not have any information about errors) successfully I restarted my phone. My phone Restarted a few times and finally started to Criskelo's ICS ICS LPY V3.
But I wanted to return to the previous rom. Perhaps I did wrong, but I restarted my phone into recovery and I tried to flash again: AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo.zip (I thought that this way I can upload my copy of the rom GB) .... but after the approval of the progress bar stops, and after about two minutes, the phone reboots again it's ICS ICS Criskelo LPY V3
Just notice another problem, not sure if it is when I tried binary updating SU.

Screen was made by another user, but for me it is exactly the same.
Everything indicates that I have root - titanium works and I can copy and delete any file in the system
Now the question:
How should I go back to GB (whether it is better not to do it?). Please help me what should I do step by step?

Don't panic mate!
Go into Recovery
Flash abyss 4.2 or Franco 10
FULL WIPE (factory reset,cache,davnik cache)
Restore backup or even better Flash a clean GB ROM
Edit: of course you can use PC Odin in download mode and flash a pre-rooted GB From.

Its not the "wrong way".Flash a clean Rom now,not your backup. Maybe your backup file is corrupted. If you want try Pc-Odin as I said before. Your choice...
Anyway, hope you'll figure it out.

I sincerely fear you may have the dreaded Superbrick mate. All the symptoms are there.

He can still ODIN, right? I haven't read where he said he can't access download mode. He was just trying to do stuff in recovery. Can we confirm you can not access download mode either?

Okay cool, that's fairly good news because if you CAN enter download mode you are not bricked and you can ODIN a pre-rooted GB rom or a stock GB rom. If your phone will charge, let it charge up and then ODIN away.

Try repartitioning the device. To do so use simply set the right pit file in odin.

Galaxy S I9000 won't boot, no recovery, only download mode available

Hello folks,
First I must say that before I post this thread I searched for days to find out a solution, I tried everything I know about to fix my issue without luck.
What happened:
I was on cyanogenmod 10.1.2 (4.2.2) with semaphore kernel 3.0 everything running flawless for month nothing much to say.
I dismounted my external SDcard 16go to switch for another one 32go while the phone was on (I did this multiples times before without issues) but when I mounted it back I had a "searching for error" notification so I waited for a time and my phone gone off alone.
I power it on back but my screen just show "Galaxy S I9000" logo and nothing else happen. So I waited for a time, removed the battery, and power it on again but no luck, my phone seems to have a bootloop I thought.
I decided to flash back to stock rom in order to fix it (I did this before when I got bootloop with froyo, gingerbread, ics ... good old day )
My phone is an international I9000 PRO (belgium)
I flashed a XXJVU stock rom with repartition on PIT 512(because of different partition format from cyanogenmod) with ODIN, everything is running fine from ODIN, no errors, the phone reboot but still no luck : stuck with the Galaxy S I9000 screen, nothing else happen.
I can get download mode but no recovery mode, so I tried to flash a semaphore ICS kernel: no luck again, no recovery available.
I started to get worried and tried everything possible from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29331775#post29331775
Still no luck my phone is stuck to this Galaxy S I9000 screen. I can't get recovery mode, only download mode.
I flashed another stock rom :GT_I9000_XWJW5_XDJV1_OXXJVC_Sbl because of the sbl as I thought my boot partition was screwed but still no luck, no boot past the Galaxy S I9000 screen.
I just have the download mode available that is all.
My battery is at 100%
ODIN flash without any errors
What can I do in order to fix it? and if I can't, can I try to save my internal SDcard documents (photos, pdf, doc ...)? Can I mount my internal SDcard from download mode to fix this loop? or to save my important documents?
I am sorry for my basic english, I thank you in advance to anyone who try to help me.

Remove your External SD card and try, could be wrong format, as it needs to be formatted in phone first.

I've already did that in the first time.
Now I retired everything from the phone (sim card and SDcard) to flash a stock rom in order to fix this bootloop but still no luck.
I couldn't pass that Galaxy S I9000 screen, nothing happen.
I don't have any recovery mode available now, only download mode.
When I flash a stock rom (I tried JVU, JW5 full stock) ODIN says nothing wrong, everything seems to go fine, but the phone is stuck at start screen.

The phone reboot but still stuck at Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen. I still don't have a recovery mode, only download mode available.
I couldn't flash a CF-Root kernel because the first flash did not complete the first run (I guess) and even if I flash a CF-Root kernel (jvu, I tried it before) I still don't have a recovery mode.
I feel so sad, maybe my internal SD is screwed ... I had this phone since 3 years, did alot of flash before, got it bricked, saved it multiple times without any issue, strong device but now I think it's done, the end
Now, if you know a way to read the internal SD without recovery mode you are a god
I think I will give up.

well, you can always use external SD card, when your internal SD card is fried...just read this and related links in it , first to digest the issue and try when you are SURE how you would proceed, the easiest is having a single SD card partitioned into two to act like its the internal and external.
The problem here seems you had made a swap, and that needs to be undone

I would try flashing a custom recovery with ODIN, and using that to flash a custom rom.

Am I doing something wrong?
Also, I read somewhere that bootloader has to be unlocked for Odin to be able to flash recovery. Could that possibly be the issue and if
so how do I unlock the bootloader on this device?

Proceeded to flash with Odin, only to be met with failure.
Am I doing something wrong?
Also, I read somewhere that bootloader has to be unlocked for Odin to be able to flash recovery. Could that possibly be the issue and if
so how do I unlock the bootloader on this device?

Try it with the .tar from the stickies in the android development forum.

Tablet then reboots directly to download mode. Unable to enter newly installed recovery, unable to shutdown.
Retried several times to same result.

Are you doing the right key combo to get to recovery? Restart tab, as soon as the 8.9 logo pops up, press and hold volume down (the one closer to the power button). When bootloader screen comes up press volume down one more time to select recovery, and volume up once to select. Sorry if this is obvious, just wanted to make sure.

Correct me if I'm wrong but power+vol down basically brings you to a screen where you're given a choice
between download mode (denoted by a blinking green Andy) and recovery mode (Andy coming out of a box).
I select recovery, tried all buttons, no response. The "icon" flashes for a moment when key is pressed but
nothing happens.

That's correct. It sounds like your bootlader might be borked. Unfortunately, idk how to flash a new one without a working recovery. Sorry.
You might be able to flash a bootloader.zip in odin as a pda. I have never tried this, and I have no idea if it will work, or if it will further break your tab.
Am I correct that you have a p7300? If it is a p7300 or a p7310, this is the right bootloader:

I read some replies about flashing this bootloader, and it seems like it works
but I noticed that @kallt_kaffe mentioned that you should flash the bootloader using the bootloader option instead of the PDA:

Unzip and flash with Odin (using the Bootloader option instead of the PDA option that you use when you flash a full rom)

so I'am not sure but I think you should try to use the bootloader option first
good luck

Thanks for all the help I've gotten from both of you, I've managed to get CWM to work on my tab.
Now what? How exactly would I fix my problem using CWM from this point forward and what files would I need to do so?

Flashing the bootloader was the solution ???
I can think of two things
ether you should try to flash a stock Tar ROM by Odin
or you should transfer any flashable Zip ROM by USB adb connection and flash it through CWM

Actually I'm not sure whether it's the bootloader OR the fact that I switched to a laptop and a different USB from the one I was
using before.
That said, I have tried flashing the ROM you gave me the link to in mail. Didn't work. As before the installation completed only to be stuck at
the Samsung logo upon reboot.
How would I proceed with the flashable zip ROM USB adb thing with CWM? And what files would I need? Pardon my ignorance but I'm just
pretty new to all this.

You need to use cwm to flash a custom rom. There are several in the android development section. You need to download the rom.zip and gapps.zip from one of those threads, and put them on the internal storage of your tab. Hopefully, when you hook it up to a pc it will pop up as a media player or storage device, and you can just drag and drop them on there. If not, you may need to set up adb and push the files over to the tab.
Once you get the files on there, normally one would do a nandroid backup. In your case, without a working rom, I don't think that will be usefull. You need to wipe (format) system, data, cache, and dalvik, then install the rom.zip, then the gapps.zip.

I am having similar issues with my tab, flashed an official rom from sam mobile through odin, just hangs on the samsung boot screen. Could it be a boot loader issue?

Device doesn't register as a storage device. No idea how to push files over with ADB or even how I would access ADB with
the Samsung 8.9. Could someone take the trouble to give me some step-by-step idiot proof instruction I could follow?

Ok, sorry for being late, I was collecting information and doing some experiences
on my tab to get all the details you need
So, to transfer a file through adb USB connection while in recovery you should
Install ADB Drivers and use the ADBGUI to copy the files to the tab
First of all mount /sdcard from the mount and unmount section in CWM, connect your tab through USB cable while in CWM and then
when you open the ADBGUI tool it should automatically detect your tab and show you figures like number 1 in the screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you see any figures in the same place, then your device is connected through adb
now open the Basic Commands tab (number 2)
Select File and browse it to the ROM.Zip you want to flash (number 3)
[it is recommended to be small file cuz you might need to do this more than once]
I use for this matter a Stripped CM9 (67MB) just to boot and then I transfer through normal USB any ROM I want
write (/sdcard) in (number 4) to guide the tool to put the file on the sdcard
click Push File (number 5) and wait for 2 - 6 minutes [it depends on the size of the file]
now the file should be on your sdcard
just flash it and reboot
I hope I am not exaggerating in this guide

Hey All,
Just managed to get mine to stock! . I was having the issue of it hanging on the Samsung Boot screen, but I managed to fix this by, flashing CWM through odin AFTER flashing the stock rom. Then entering CWM and doing a factory reset/wipe and wiping dalvik cache. Tablet booted perfectly into stock 4.04! Now just need to flash stock recovery and everything is back to stock

That was easy,,,,
I created This Zip from the last Stock Framewok
you just need to flash it through CWM
Note: this is a stock kernel so you if you install it you won't be able to flash anything anymore
but you'll still be able to enter it and do wipe data and cache only
Enjoy

Thankyou!!! Ill flash it now and report back

Works absolutely perfectly! Thank you so much for your help! This is going on Ebay now

There doesn't seem to be an option in CWM mount/storage for me to mount /sdcard. Options available for selection:
mount /efs
mount /system
unmount /cache
mount /data
mount /preload
format /system
format /data
format /preload
ADB Drivers and GUI installed though.

[Help] Samsung Galaxy S4 5.0.1 SGH-I337 won't reboot properly

This is my first post so I'm sorry if I did not post this in the right place or didn't do something else regular-place to these forums. Please guide me in the right direction if I didn't. So I rooted my phone with Kinguser and then switched it to SuperSu pro using the in-app instructions ins SuperSu. My goal is to install Xposed onto my phone but part of the problem is that I have to boot and manual recovery with TWRP or something similar for Xposed to work on my S4 (specifications above). But every manual recovery app I download works up to the point I actually try to reboot. All of them can find my root access and say they install successfully, but when I hit reboot and recovery, it always goes into Odin mode (and in the top left corner of Odin mode it says cannot reboot normally). I can get out of Odin mode easily so the problem isn't that I'm stuck there. I just want to know how to proceed with reboot and recovery when every time I try it goes into Odin mode.

Easiest way is to go into download mode(Odin mode) and flash TWRP via Odin. In Odin make sure to uncheck reboot and f. reset once TWRP is flash unplug and pull the battery and reboot directly to recovery (power & volume+) once you get into TWRP it'll stay after that. Then just reboot your phone normally. Also within TWRP you can flash SuperSU.

Thanks for the response!! I found the twrp file on their website (one which is a .md5 and one which is a .img which both don't work). They would both just freeze in Odin. So I found a tool online that turns .img files to .tar file. Link to tool below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281287
with another thread that helped to fix the runme.bat file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42511844#post42511844
and that helped make a .tar file which doesn't freeze up Odin, but when I run the .tar file made from that tool, the manual flash using Odin runs through and fails. the Odin prompt is shown below.

Pretty much everything. I would not trust converting files like that. High potential for bricking your device.
The link I gave you is a .tar file that Odin likes. The md5 is at the top, yes, but you need the tar file just a little further down.
I linked you the latest one that is .tar. Newer versions are in .img that can be flashed in recovery.

I downloaded the .tar file you linked above and tried it and it still failed. So to be descriptive as possible the first thing I do is plug my phone (without twrp installed) into my pc. Then I turn it off. Then I try to reboot. Phone can't reboot and forwards directly to Odin mode. I download the .tar file you linked me above. I do not unzip the file. I have Odin3 v3.07 installed. I open Odin and uncheck Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. I click on PDA and select the unzipped zip file for flash. Nothing is said in the message display after that and is still at.

Thanks so much for all the help!! After that linked I found a bunch of conversations that helped. If you every help out with someone with the same specifications on their phone then I had there's not much I can say that can help as far as Lollipop goes. I could not find a way to get Xposed on my device as is. But if anyone really does want it, I found that if you find the right .PIT file and the stock ROM for a previous version of Android (I tried a few which all work, but I would suggest KitKat because why not) then you'll be able to do anything you want without all the heartache. After I used Odin to flash KitKat onto my device, I found that I didn't even need TWRP, Xposed installed quite nicely, and even though the layout doesn't look quite as nice as Lollipop, you can find a bunch of display modules in Xposed that fit the bill quite well.
All in all, Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T SGH-I337 5.0.1 and want Xposed?? You're screwed. Flash KitKat.
