[Q] ICS Alpha 6 on I9000 International

I have I9000 international and have flashed ICS Alpha 6 via CWM recovery and then the kernel but I can't get beyong the first logo screen. Please help me out. I have tried Alpha 4 also but the result was the same. Below is what I did.
1. Flashed latest XXJVT rom via ODIN.
2. Flashed Semaphore 1.8.2 kernel.
3. Flashed ICS Alpha6 rom via CWM recovery
4. And, flashed FuguICSi9000update.zip.
Please help me as I desperately want to try ICS on my I9000.
Thanks for the upcoming help!

Wipe dalvik cache, factory reset

I have tried this too. I am not a newbie. I usually flash my phone once in a week to try different custom roms but I don't know why I am not successful with this one.

Hello,
Can you go to the recovery and try flashing the zip file again.

I have just repeated everything from scratch after flashing brand new JVT rom but still of no use.

1. Flash XXJVT
2. Flash cf root or semaphone any kernel with cwm
3. Wipe data, cache and davik
4. Flash ICS Alpha 6
5. Enter recovery (If it boot loop take out battery)
6. Wipe data, cache and davik
7. Flash ICS Alpha 6
8. Flash FuguICSi9000update.zip
9. Reboot
Like miui, cwm3 seems to have problems flashing. When you flash in the first time on ICS Alpha 6, it will not work but cwm3 is updated to cwm5. Then you flash again should work already.

Weird problem when flashing CM7 Help!

Hi,
I have many times tried to flash CM7, but always happens weird thing.
I have stock 2.3.5 XXJVS with Semaphore 2.5.0 kernel
1.I boot into CWM
2.I wipe cache then wipe data/factory reset then i go advanced and choose wipe Dalvik cache
3.Choose .zip from sd card
4.I choose update-cm7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip
5.My phone flashes it
6.It reboots
7.Normal Galaxy S GT-i9000 then Galaxy S
Cyanogen Mod
8.It goes to recovery and posts text very fast then reboots again
9.It repeats everything what it does from section 7.
Im very confused so please help!

Have you tried flashing it again?

redo step 3 and onwards,
sometimes you just need to flash twice.

It seems like a corrupted download... Are you flashing from internal or external? Have you mounted before?

i tried to flash from internal

What version of CWM recovery do you have? Maybe flash a different ROM just to update CWM, and then flash the rom you want?

I had the same, or atleast a similar problem whilst trying to flash CM9. I fixed it by flashing the rom again.
You also might want to redownload the file incase it's corrupt.

i have CWM 5.0.2.7 and i downloaded the CyanogenMod file again so i try to flash it again

Any luck with your efforts this far?

yes, i succesfully installed CM9 about 3 months ago.
I'm not sure which build it was but it was the newest build

[Q] Unable to flash any ROM except Taiwan ROM

I was running "TheMIDTeam 1.3" ROM & decided to upgrade to version 1.4 using the so call "safe" method using the "restore" method in CWM. unfortunatly this failed making my phone un bootable but I could still get into "download" mode.
I then thought I'd flash a stock ROM using odin and go from there. I chose the Taiwan N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS ROM. This all went OK & everything seem fine. I then relised this was not the ROM for me as it didn't contain "English Australian" amoungst other things. So I thought, no problem, I'l just flash something else more suitable, but no matter what else I flash with odin I keep getting "Force Close" continually once the phone has booted up. I tried many different ROMS from Gingerbread to ICS & keep getting the "Force Close" error.
I then flashed back the Taiwan ROM & it works fine but I am now stuck with that ROM.
The only difference with the Taiwan ROM that I can see was that it contained not just the PDA file like most ROM's but it had a PIT & BOOTLOADER & PDA & PHONE & CSC files. I think this may be where i've gone wrong. Maybe if I could find the stock international versions of all these files I may be able to flash these & get back to stock & start again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Anyone know where I can get the stock PIT & BOOTLOADER & PDA & PHONE & CSC
files so I can get back to stock?

I was also confused about the pit & bootloader files. I have used N7000XXLC1 open Europe with PC Odin. I have just sellected PDA file and everything went ok. Now I'm on stock GB without any problems

have you already tried to flash any stock rom trough mobile odin?

I have tried flashing 2 stock ICS ROMs & 3 different stock Gingerbread ROMs using PC odin only. They all give me continious "Force Close" error messages after bootup making the phone unusable.
If I flash back the Taiwan ROM all seems OK but I;m stuck with this ROM.

If I were you I would get a working version of the taiwan rom on the phone. Then flash a suitable CF kernel. Push a choice custom rom on your Sd card. And then flas that rom from CWM recovery. Only wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Just go into recovery and wipe all caches and factory reset and it will load fine it did it to me until I wiped all caches kept saying Google frame work has stopped

Well.... for quite obvious reasons I wouldnt recommend doing a factory reset on an official ICS kernel.
Something lile sssssuperbrick comes to mind.

This superbrick stuffs is getting on my tits how many people are wiping on there galaxy note using superbrick kernels and having no problems thousands?? hundreds of thousands??? but 20 people brick there phones and it's like Osama bin laden has created this emmc bug in the kernel to get us all.. We all know the dangers people could brick there phones using safe kernels because people make mistakes and or don't follow instructions

Thanks for the replys.
The Taiwan ROM that works is a ICS ROM, N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS.
I have thought of doing a full wipe via CWM but I'm afarid of the "SuperBrick" issue. In fact I was think maybe there is some coruption in the emmc partition already causing the "Force Close" errors I keep getting

Just clear your caches after each flash back from gb to ics vice versa and it will work fine

Here is your salvation installation
Dear KTM690 :
No need To Panic, here is your solution :
Let's suppose you are on the Stock LPF now :
1- Download the corresponding Rooted Kernel by Chainfire : I got it for you : http://download.chainfire.eu/176/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.6-CWM5.zip
2- Extract it, you will have a tar file, Flash it with PC odin.
3- Reboot, now you are rooted and you have cwm recovery at the same time
4- Download the AbyssKernel V4.2 only : http://www.mediafire.com/?c65mndvpk6ocbaa
5- Put the zip file on your sdcard, don't extract it
6- Choose what ever ICS rom you like, let's say the TMT v1.4 that you wanted.
7- Put the zip file on your Sdcard.don't extract it
8- now shut off your phone, Press the Vol Up, Power and the Home Buttons at the same time, and you will be into cwm recovery mode.
9- Don't wipe anything, and Flash the AbyssKernel v4.2.
10- Don't reboot the phone, still in cwmr, go to advanced and choose reboot recovery.
11- You are now in recovery mode again, but with the Abyss Kernel instead of the rooted LPF one by chainfire.(now you have cwm touch recovery, tap with your finger now)
12- So It is totally safe now : wipe everything : data, cache, go to advanced and wipe dalvick cache, and battery stat, choose also Fix permissions while you are there.
13- choose back to go to the first screen,
Now you have Options, depending on what you have dowloaded as a Rom file...
14- If you want to flash the backup zip file from TMTv1.4 : choose backup and restore, and choose restore from internal sdcard, and look for your downloaded TMT zip file. (It should be clockworkmod/backup/TMT1.4...... Folder), I suppose you already have done it.!
15- If you have dowloaded the flashable TMT zip file, then choose install zip file, and choose file from internal sdcard..
In either cases : Reboot and you are done.
This is the cleanest installation you could have done, just don't skip any step !!!!
If this Helped, The thanks Button is next to you, ....and check my MOD : the 15 toggles in case .....

Good Luck.

Okay just flash whatever ROM you want (even if there are FCs), go into stock recovery (volume up home and power) and wipe data and cache. Reboot. This solved all the FCs for me when I had the same problem. Worth trying!

Thanks for you advise kimifender & everyone else.
I carried this out and now everything is back to normal.
I was just too worried about wiping everything because of the SuperBrick bug.

[Q] Stuck at Samsung Boot Screen

Hi guys,
I just flashed the _AllianceROM_JellyBean XXLSC_ALpha1 via rom customizer from JB RocketRom V1. I am now stuck at samsung boot screen and i can't access my nandroid backups generated using CWM as the TWRP doesn't detact them . I would really appreciate if some1 could tell me how can i solve this problem.
Thanks!

Have you tried doing a factory reset?
Use odin and download mode to go back to any stock rom as a second option

I didn't have the chance to enable usb debugging before this happen. Is there any other solutions for this?

Why do you need adb? Boot into recovery and do a resrt

Stuck at samsung boot screen (the one with samsung logo and NOT galaxy note) is called bootloop
You need a fresh new system, try the following:
1- reboot into recovery (Home + Power + Volume UP)
2- Install a safe kernel - I recommend (Abyss GB Kernel)
3- In recovery >> Advanced >> reboot Recovery
4- when it boots up, do Factory Reset/Data Wipe 3 times
5- Do Cache wipe 3 times
6- Go to Advanced & do Dalvik Cache wipe 3 times
7- Go to Mounts & Storage & do FORMAT SYSTEM
8- Go to Mounts & Storage & do FORMAT PRELOAD
9- Now, Re-Flash Alliance ROM & Reboot - The ROM should come with its own Kernel
Furthermore, it is best if you did your nandroid backups in CWM just before installing a new ROM and while being on Abyss kernel (or whatever safe kernel you're intending to use) to avoid MD5 Checksum failure when restoring
Also, I would recommend you do MD5 Checksum on the Alliance ROM zip file and make sure it matches the one in the thread (you'll find it in the OP, almost always next to the download link - I use MD5Check for windows
P.S. If you can't get into recovery, you got a brick issue, refer to brick threads
Best of luck

[Q] Help! Samsung Galaxy Note N-7000 stuck on Samsung logo

My Samsung Galaxy Note N-7000 is stuck on Samsung logo, I have some photos still not backup, I tried to root my device but unsuccessful:crying:. How can i backup my data? or what can i do in recovery mode?

What steps did you take to root?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Thank you for your reply. Here are the steps i did:
1. I was download a file (00-Note_ICS_Root) on other website. when i unzip this file, there are two files CWM.zip (clockworkmod recovery) & SU-Busybox-Installer.zip.
2. Copy them to external micro sdcard, and boot into recovery mode
3. Choose "apply update from external storage"
4. Go to "00-Note_ICS_Root" folder and choose CWM.zip, the screen show a few lines of texts and boot into ClockworkMod Recovery
5. There are 7 options, (1. reboot system now, 2. install zip from sdcard, 3. wipe data/ factory reset, 4. wipe cache partition, 5. backup and restore, 6. mounts and storage, 7. advanced) I was choose option 2, then follow the steps and choose the "SU-Busybox-Installer.zip"
6. After the phone loading something and show completed, reboot system.
00-Note_ICS_Root attached for your reference, thanks!

ICS and cwm.zip: risk of hard bricking your device.
So, if you only choose option 2 this shouldn't have happened until now.
But stop using this!
First of all get into safety:
Download a JB stock Rom and install it with PC Odin (read here).
If this works then you didn't brick your device.
After this you can try to root your device again (if you really need this and accept to learn and read).

ThaiDai, I have fixed the problem and get back my data already, thank you so much for your help!

How did you fix it?
I recently flashed Paranoid android 3.9 on a Galaxy Note N-7000, was working fine until it switched off. Every time I switch it on, it doesn't go past the "Samsung Galaxy Note" boot page. I can't get to the recovery options either.
Please Help!

Flash a custom kernel tar file from odin (like philz) and thus will give you access to recovery. Then you can reflash the same rom again.
OR
Flash a stock JB rom using odin and phone in download mode.

I had same issue. In recovery mode I did again dirty flashed the pa ROM and then cleared the dalvik cache (which is important)
This should do the trick

Solution
Please do Following:-
Normally such problems occur if Dirty Flash is made. you need to boot into recovery and wipe data, cache and Delvik Cache.
If you cant boot into recovery unfortunately you have to do what i suggest in succeeding lines;
Download Stock Rom and Odin on PC from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
there is also a guideline how to flash Stock rom with Odin.
Home+Vol Down+ Power button will take you to Download Mode. Press volume up button once and connect the phone to PC. Open Odin and Flash the stock rom (Complete Guide on above referred thread)
Once done with it .. let the phone to start
Now download Philz Recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Please remember to download corresponding recovery as mentioned in Post 2 & 3
Put it into SD card
Now boot into Recovery mode. With Default Recovery Flash Philz Recovery and Reboot into Recovery.
Now your Note is rooted and you can safely install any Rom .. Remember always be on safe kernel before you flash any rom
