Yes, you may need to flash official firmware for your country region to get your phone fixed.

Thanks for your reply, how can i find official firmware ? I am from Turkey.

you dont need to flash a full rom. flash the wipe.zip. you can find it in the root thread

Yes I forgot about that, flash it in PDA in odin, it should work.

Do you have the OPS file?
you may need to tick the one package option then have to select the firnware and start flashing while mobile being in download mode

Hang on boot=bootloop? If yes then no brick here, just wipe and it will work.
Read this post and follow the step ....

update your odin version and try again.

n00bs. Try keep reading until your eyes are broken.
Nope, GT-S5570i needs firmware splitting. Cause only Odin V1.85 can detect this phone, and needs all package not one package.

root and CWM with official status

hey all , I just have realized that the only way to root your device and remain in official status is pre rooted rom ( which is full of problems ) , I have read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852 this guide and after reading the comments I think that flashing CWM via odin makes your status costum .. am I right??
Well, if Iam right I have an idea to fix this problem and hopefully it will work
1st Flash official rooted rom with odin .. this will propably wont work fine due to CSC and BBV changes but at least can boot so just download terminal emulator and flash CWM recovery using dd command ( this wont increase CBC or make ur status costum )
2nd back to official rom ( that wont mess with the CWM right? )
3rd download a flashble root via CWM (may increase CBC but can fix with triangle away app )
4th deodox rom via flashble mod via CMW
5th flash theme via CWM
hopefully those steps wont change your status to costum and any increase in CBC can be solved by triangle away right ??
anyone can confirm?
at the end sry for all this questions

dear tys0n thx for replying
your second way is similar to my way but the only diffrence is my way seems more safe because the device status wont change from costum to official it will be official all the time as i think
right??

yes but it makes no sense because with Triangel Away you can reset custom binary count and get back offical at the end of every way ...

Did it , same not working , stucking at that screen.
reflash your rom, but before doing that do a backup in recovery mode. that way you wont lose any data...
Re flash the rom, if stock rom flash it with odin, if custom rom than via clockwork.
Dont panic unless you can go into download mode.
Download mode is very helpful.

n7000 won't turn on, pc doesn't recognize after CWM FLASH

So, i get galaxy note n7000. It was running 4.0.4 stock. I flashed kernel with odin with root + cwm. Then i wiped data, tried to install rom (it was miui 3.9.6 from here) progress stucked on /formatting system. Then screen went black and phone won't turn on after that. I founded one user from russian forum who had same issue, idk how he fixed it..
So, phone won't turn on , go to recovery, pc can't see it. hardly bricked? By cwm flash..?
Phone has got warranty. Maybe i should bring it to them? Could they know that phone was rooted?
Seems i have the same problem like here...
Which Cwm did you use? Was it Cwm. Zip?

cwm 5. I heard about cwm zip, but no. I got cwm by installing custom kernel in odin. Or you're talking about something else?
And yes, i'm soon going to the carrier where this phone was bought. Which is the best version to tell? OTA update?
Yeah, just say it failed doing ota update.

Phone is year old (out of warranty) , I have seen in many post that Samsung store will ask to change the motherboard (will cost nearby 50percent of phone cos) unadvisable.

Thanks for the reply, yes i have correct files, still will try yours, (once it will boot then further i will deal easily) currently have given the phone to a local repair person, he said something is wonky with IC chip so ROM is not flashing properly.
Would try your thing soon, thanks!
