Seems you want to go back to stock, flash it with odin. You can get it at www.samfirmware.com .
Read the stickies to learn about flashing with odin, or google it

My galaxy note probably bricked help please

Hi all,
My note run ICS has been rooted and the last rom on it is king droid 2.1
Just yesterday I've tried to wipe it all from the recovery. After that it was stuck on the main screen when you switch on the phone I was still able to go in recovery so I try to re-flash the same rom and after the previous one without success then I've tried to flash back the original rom lpy with Odin started to recognise the device but when it started to flash it it takes ages and the progressive bar it stay just like on 1% .
Now the phone doesn't go in recovery mode but just in download mode and on the screen comes "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
Off course Kies does not recognise the phone.
Please help me I'm desperate
Thanks to all
you had wiped in recovery, your phone is bricked ......sorry, i hope you have yet warrenty
The phone is on warranty but I haven't got the receipt unfortunately
Kingdroid 2.1 uses a cf-root that is affected by superbrick bug (and this is why this version was removed from the OP by his author), so probably your note is damaged.
in general section there are many threads (like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661590) with guides that you can try to use to "repair" your bricked note... otherwise you can send it to samsung assistance and hope in a free motherboard replacement.

But if I send the note to Samsung they can see the phone it has been rooted
Do u think they will still do something for it?

Sure they can, but if they find your note is rooted (or generically modded) you have to pay the cost of the mainboard replacement.
However, first of all, I suggest you to read the thread I've posted (and even others) and verify if you can revive your note by yourself.
Good luck mate, I'm really sorry for your note :-(

With all the warnings I am curious why did you try wiping from an ICS kernel?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
First thing you should do is check other threads about that around here.
If you can get it into download mode, you could give flashing with Odin a try. If it doesn't get stuck at factory.fs, then you're not superbricked.
If it does get stuck, then you have 2 more hopes:
- HOPE 1
- HOPE 2
If those don't work either...I'm afraid it's off to the Samsung Service center for a shiny new motherboard.
Best of luck to you and hope you get your Note up and running as soon as possible...
I know but mistake happens......and unfortunately I did a big mistake......I'm getting mad to try to solve this problem
Thanks I'll look the threads soon I finish to work Odin by he way it get stuck on factory.fs. So no chance but I was reading about The pit file do you know something about?
By the way thanks for the help guys
I hope you can fix it.

try this mine got working but u will loose ur sd card space like mine to 9 gb
I AM FROM INDIA ,I AM A REGULAR VISITOR OF THIS FORUM. I TRIED SEVERAL ROMS NEARLY I MIGHT HAVE DONE 25 ROM INSTALLATION IN MY PHONE USING ODIN. FOR THE LAST 20 DAYS I AM ON THE SAME ROM DDLP8 ICS 4.03 (ROOTED)
DURING A FILE TRANSFER FROM MY PC PHONE SWITCHED OF AND DIDNT GO ON.
i searched xda and finally custom pit method worked for me with a pit file .. but i now have only 9 GB space in my internal SD . i tried all other pits only two pit file allows me to install a rom.
any way to regain my memory back.
if repair is the only option how much indian rupee it will cost.
please brothers help me . i am a student and because of addiction to custom roms i have installed roms several times.
Well, if patched pit was the only solution that worked for you, I think that's no way you can get your 7gb-left back, cause part of your emmc storage is probably -certainly- corrupted, and for now is impossible to repair without a motherboard replacement...unfortunately you need Samsung assistance for that.
I'm sorry mate but I don't live in India, so I have no idea of how much it will cost.

New owner, need help with unroot

Hey guys I just bought a sprint galaxy tab of craigslist today in perfect condition but it is rooted and its on froyo 2.2. Im getting really confused in what sections and all and thread to find a unroot method. Im fine with rooting my phone but this is my first tablet and I want it updated to GB but when I go to the settings it says its updated
Which model you got?
Why do you want to UNroot?
Just go to Overcome thread, download guide/roms, flash your device and will have GB.
Then if you wish you can flash CM9 and have ICS/Tablet optimized OS.

I got SPH-P100 DJ30. I want to unroot to get the OTA since im on 2.2. Flashing a rom will work to, a stock rom which you are able to get a OTA. I just got it and not sure if it has CWM on it or not. Im not real fimilar with Samsung rooting techniques as most of my phones have been HTC. I have a stock rom downloaded ready to go, the only thing is im not at home and our wifi is out so im at a friends house and need to get to odin to flash the rom. I have odin on my computer at home as I have done it before, but im going brain dead and cant for the life of me figure out the site or download wise how to get the odin root program

Edit: sorry, missed the CDMA part, please don't use my earlier info, as this is GSM only!

DO NOT install OVERCOME rom or ICS for P1000. You will break yout G-tab!!!
You own a CDMA. and the above instructions are all for GSM. I hope I am not too late.
No not to late. Thanks guys. Im just using it for wifi so I don't need the free wireless tether one of the things with rooting. I just wanna get off this old 2.2 and just found the galaxy tab series kinda confusing. I did my epic touch fine, but with Verizona and Sprints, only wifi versions all of it is getting me frustrated ha but thanks again guys

if what you want is to get rid of froyo, why don't you try to flash this GB2.3.4 rooted for sprint. You need to learn how to use odin though.

follow the instructions carefully, and DO NOT do this if you are not ready to break your tab.
Ya I have used Odin before for my S2. My tab is working just fine, but it's just the OS is older and some apps wont work on it. And to top things off we changed internet companys so it won't be till Friday unless we head to my parents to use their internet. But when I connect my tablet to the computer earlier I had Odin up, should it have recognized what was plugged in and in the header should it have said the tablet information? It still had EL29 from my S2 a few months ago when I had it and rooted it but nothing changed.

THat's strange but should be ok. I think you have odin 1.7 instead of 1.83.
Odin may not recognize your tab if you did not check "USB Debugging" mode.
It should recognize your tab as an android device right away if you already check USB Debugging mode.
But if you follow the second link, it will unroot your tab back to 2.2 unrooted stock -- using heimdell.

If you'd read a little before flashing your phone, you'd have known that you can't ever revert to stock ROM if you haven't done a backup previously..

You should read the whole wiki.
There are instructions for flashing with ODIN... You should download a stock firmware (also look at wiki) and then flash it.
Nex time, don't install something if you don't know what it does
Why you want to delete cm9 ? Personally i use it from he was pre-alpha (aproximatively 5 months ago) and my phone isn't broken and it's running normaly and better than in gb. Now in cm9 aren't big bugs and it can be use as daily rom. Finally it's your choice . If you want to go back to the original firmware use wiki page it's very usefull. Good luck :good:

Follow these steps sequentially; safest, tried and tested by over 10,000 people on GT-i9000:
1. Go back to stock: Flashing To Original Rom - Using Odin on GT-i9000
2. Root your device: Rooting GT-I9000 2.3.3 [India DDJV9]
3. Install ICS: Installing Ice-cream Sandwich 4.0.4 On Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
4. Install JB: Installing Jelly Bean 4.1 on Galaxy S GT-I9000
ENJOY

Few beginner questions.

Hello guys I just sold my 4S and bought this Note 1 , anyway im new to android flashing and this stuff , ive heard that its way different than iOS restoring which is really easy and simple. Right now i got a few questions , If i missed a step or did something wrong it'll render my device unusable ofcourse , but will it be unrecoverable ? Thats the first thing. Second thing is that is it recommended that i install custom roms? right now i need one's with the Water Ripple effects on lockscreens , or if you can just tell me how to install the effect without custom rom's that'll be helpful because i want to flash official 4.1.2 jelly bean first and then the lockscreen effect. Im just new to the Android stuff and i dont know where to start Same feeling back in 2008 when i bought my first iPhone and got confused n' all
Read around for awhile, its what got me started when I first came here.
Again, read, read read, and avoid asking questions which have been answered countless times its annoying really.

If you just install stock official 4.1.2 rom via odin, it should come with the ripple effect.
Or if the update is already available in your country, you can just update it to the latest official rom via kies.

You'll notice that all of the download links are zip files.
You just need to extract the zip file until you find the .tar file.

Help with kernel
So recently I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note GTN7000 and flash it with franco kernel, then when I turned on my phone the bluetooth is not working and it constantly crashes and get stuck (The screen just go green and pink like an old TV with bad signal). So I panicked and unroot it immidiately. But that didnt seem to solve the problem.
So my question is, can I flash it with the original kernel. If so how? and where can I get it. can you teach me. (NOOB REQUEST )

Alright guys thanks for the reply , i heard theres a way you cab install roms without pc since i just want to install official 4.1.2 , ill do some research

Yep, there's a way to install roms without PC, using mobile Odin, but before that you should have your phone been rooted first.

Wait a few minutes. Let me get on my PC and I'll give you step-by-step instructions.
Now, do this:
Since you're scared, we'll do this the safest way possible
1.)Download a stock GB rom from here.(You can always come back to this ROM if you run into any trouble).Flash it via PC Odin.
2.)Wipe data and cache from recovery (Press Vol Up+Power+Home when phone is off in order to boot to recovery)
3.)Download stock JB rom from here.Flash it via PC Odin.
OR
1.)Update using Kies.

Yes, then you'll have gingerbread. Don't forget to wipe after installing gingerbread.
It may brick. Not definite that it will brick. Still, better safe than sorry. Never wipe on stock ICS kernel!
