Bootlop after Rocket Rom ICS 4.1 Install [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
I have just installed Rocket Rom ICS v4.1 and have found myself in a bootloop. I can boot into recovery but i'm really worried about bricking my phone.
I have tried reflashing the abyss kernal v4.2 but it freezes on install before restarting after about 5 minutes.
I have a nanoid backup of my GB phone but as I understand it you need abyss to restore to this safely.
What would you guys suggest?
Thanks in advance for any help
Regards

You can get into recovery but you cannot reflash abyss kernel. If this is the case you can use pc odin to flash abyss. You can download the tar file from:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar
You can then restore your backup once you are on abyss recovery.
It would be safer if you use pc odin to flash a GB rom.

Thanks fro the speedy response
let me just check I understand you correctly (I am new to this). I think I would rather just go back to my working GB rom. So if I just follow the guide listed in to flash the kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and choose the N7000XXKKA English kernel, once flashed I can just restore my nanoid backup. This means I will not need the abyss kernel either?
Again thanks for the help, its greatly appreciated.

Yes, if you choose to go that route to go back to your GB rom you will not need abyss.

Thanks i'll let you know how it goes

Thanks for all the help, my phone is now working and restored back to GB.
I ended up using pc odin to flash the Abyss 4.2 kernel and then doing a restore
Again thanks for all the help I was really worried then I'd ruined my phone.

is there a way of marking the thread as solved now?

[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.

its an .rar file. How do i change it into a tar file ?

Is it a rar. Or a zip? If it's a rar, re download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 then extract one level with 7zip to get the tar file.

How to repair my phone

Originally, I am using a 4.0.3 stock rom.
Then I flashed a 4.2 ABYSS kernel and pressed wipe data after.
After that, I flashed check rom v6. However, it cant boot and stops at the GT-N7000.
So I use odin to flash a rom with pda, phone and csc. However, it still cant boot and stops at GT-N7000.
All my steps should be usual as I usually flash the rom of my phone.
What can I do to boot my phone?

Did you boot back into recovery after flashing AbyssNote kernel ?
Which ICS kernel were you using when you performed wipe data / factory reset ?
Now...
Flash stock gingerbread rom with pc odin and then factory reset.
DO NOT select PIT file or boot-loader etc. Flash normally.

It is superbricked.
Take your phone to samsung service centre. Motherboard needs to be replaced.
Act dumb, do not tell them about custom roms and kernels, root etc and make sure you do not have yellow triangle and flash counter.
BTW Which kernel were you using before you flashed AbyssNote kernel?

Did you reboot into recovery after flashing abyss kernel?
You need to reboot back into recovery after flashing abyss 4.2, so the abyss kernel takes effect.
Sounds like you didn't reboot into recovery, and wiped with an unsafe kernel.

You are superbricked. Search the forum for partial recovery since you cannot claim warranty, unless you send it back to France.

Are you sure it was stock kernel?
Stock kernels do not have clockwork recovery - so it is not possible to flash kernel from it.

If you can flash through odin without getting stuck at some point then may still be ok. Make sure to have kernel matching rom. Abyss go with gb rom.

If you are on JB with a safe kernel Philz.. then you can flash that rom directly without the need to downgrade

My GT N7000 is currently on 4.1.2. And the performance is disappointing.
I would prefer to simply revert back to gingrbread 2.3.6 (the version with which the phone was released).
is it possible to simply odin it back ?
i havent rooted my phone.

yeah simply flash GB with Odin
If it stuck after flashing at samsung logo, just reboot to recovery and wipe cache and data.

Download JB firmware for you phone and install it with Odin, like you did that kernel. That kernel is for Gingerbread, that's why you get that problem. It will be fixed. Btw we do not have Odin flashable kernel with TWRP, that's how I know it was for GB. New time download CoCore for JB and unpack it. Use kernel.bin.md5 to install it with Univeral kernel flash app and some root explorer. You need to root it first with Shaaan's method.
