Hi people.
I have a question.
When my Note goes to deep sleep mode, the screen blinks back on on it's own as if it's awaking from a bad dream!
It's frustrating, how can i make it stop?
Try jbroid kernel cleaning then reflash your kernel
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
mention your ROM and KERNEL....and its funny...i mean the Title of your thread
It's true! it's waking up from deep sleep and then all day it has a foul mood. I've tried doctors, i've tried everything, you are my last hope guys!
My Rom is N7000XXLA4, kernel is:2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6=CL907341 [email protected]#2(Do i really need to write all this when people ask me what kernel i have or would a shorter version suffice?)
I am on gingerbread.
Now i just noticed a thread registering the same problem i have under the title: Deep Sleep Problem
I have the same issue.

ReFlash Kernel means you on the custom Kernel already, and if you on the stock, it's not applicable. You can just download the PC-odin 1.85 or 1.87, then flash the right official ROM for your country from the sammobile.com site, with hard reset before. OR, you can go to the custom ROM. OR, you can try just hard reset.
I am on official rom and i have just gotten the phone back from a logic board replacement.
I want to install a custom ROM and eventually go to ICS but first i have to fix those deep sleep hiccups.
I am trying to determine the best course of action.
In the following hours i am going to root my device and the reflash my rom based on this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462309
and then i am going to install CMW and titanium backup so i won't lose my apps(i really don't want to install them from the beginning.)
The rom i have will not update to ICS as it's brand new. Do you think i should wait or change ROM and get ICS?
About the kernel now, why is it important to flash the kernel other from this particular situation?
Also can you provide a few links where i can safely learn how to flash the kernel?
Thank you all in advance

Unfortunately i cannot provide the links, because i'm "new member". I'm only reading here, before today.
But, the course of action for you:
1) If you will flash the custom ROM with the custom kernel you do not need to deal with the sleep mode, because the kernel is controlling modes/clocks and ither vital parts of life of your phone. Kernel is the main part of the "soft" in your phone.
2) Remember the one most important thing: DO NOT USE wipe cache/format data, on the samsung official 4.0 - 4.03 in CWM. If you need to wipe, you need to install the Abyss kernel 3.9-4.2
How to:
You need to find PC-Odin 1.85 or 1.87, and the rooted ROM with CWM in *.tar format. Close all kies services with "task manager".
Connect your phone in download mode (home+vol. down+power and when is powerd on and asking you about flashing, vol. up), launch Odin. You will see yellow quadrant in odin. Then you need to click on "PDA", then selecting the downloaded ROM file, and do not forget the "pda" checkbox. Do not touch the other checkboxes, then Start.
Wait before it's flashed.
This is the basic guide, as i said, i cannot provide you with the links, so if you need something more - ask, i'll try to help you.
QA:
What is CWM? CWM is advanced recovery program. It's built-in in kernel. You can enter in CWM by pressing in powerd off phone home+vol.up+power.
Wht is kernel? Kernel is the core component of the phone ROM. You can flash it separate from other parts of ROM.
You can also flash separately the Modem (phone), CSC and UMS parts. Remember, some kernels do not support some ROMs, for example: If you'll flash the Cyanogen Mod, and then some Franco kernel, your phone will cannot start properly. Ofc. you can use CWM in this case.
This is scary to flash my phone? No, if you read all instructions, you can "breack it" in the only one case: you'll wipe it from the CWM builded in official samsuung 4.0 - 4.0.3 RoM.
What is "wipe/format user data"? This is the way to clear your personal data, and the other trash in your system. You need to wipe before installing new ROM.
What happens if i flash new ROM without it? Nothing, but some of your apps can work incorrect in this way.
How to flash kernel from CWM? Download the kernel in *.zip file, copy it to the SD-card, restart in CWM, install zip file. If you have *tar file, use the PC-Odin.

Your post has been most helpful
But i still have questions.
1st: What if i don't want to flash a custom ROM just yet? how can i get rid of the deep sleep hiccups without going off the official roms?
2nd: What will happen if i wipe my cache during ICS in CWM?
3rd: I recently flashed the CSC from KOR to EUR(I did it because i couldn't access Kies, and i chose EUR because it's corresponding to my country). My current ROM didn't offer DBT as an option. So if i flash it again and find an N7000XXLA4 Rom with DBT offered will i have the ICS update available through official channels?
4th: What does UMS stand for, what does it do?
Thank you in advance
Come on mate follow the instructions and flash rocket rom v6 the most stable one and enjoy it

1. You need to switch off your device, than remove the battery for ~10 sec. Then switch it on, and do not touch it before it's switched to standby, then wait about 35 minutes for deep sleep. But if it doesn't work, u can flash it with official firmware with Odin. Sammobile have all official roms. You didn'g get the yellow triangle this way.
2. You will brick your device. And loose some int. memory in advance (~4gb). Why? Because official samsung rom have an error, and it's rewriting your NAND memory again and again with full speed of your CPU and memory dying in the few seconds (about 100-200k rewrites supported).
3. What for do you need the OTA??? You can flash china, korean, even russian official roms through odin without fear. And then you can get OTA's. Custom kernels do not support OTA in any form. Just think: if you flashing custom rom, how you can get official over it?
4. Don't know ))) UMS - usb mass storage, i think, but i'm not sure in this. And i do not know what for we can use it.
Hi. I noticed I had the exact same problem yday on my note. I turn off the screen, 5 seconds later the screen turns on again (on the lockscreen), stays for 2 seconds and then turns off. Then another 20 seconds later repeat. My phone definitely was going to deep sleep (checked with CPU spy), but this "nightmare" thing was annoying. I was on RR v6 with Speedmod k3. I dunno what the reason was for this, so I just simply changed my kernel to Goku v1. The issues seems to have gone away now. I dunno what was causing it, but I am just sharing what I did to get rid of this.
I rooted my device(with CF-Root) and then flashed a kernel and then returned to my original one.
The problem is still here.
Later today i am going to try and return to a CMW friendly kernel and then flash the jBroid Kernel Cleaning Script that adamskoc mentioned in his post.
I will be posting results.
By the way even with the custom Kernel my activity from last night is summarized by this picture:
All night the phone was restless...
Yupp I've had this problem also before. The no deep sleep bug. To get rid of this follow this:
Put the phone in airplane mode.
Turn off the phone.
Take out the battery.
Wait for like a minute and put the battery back in and turn on the phone.
Wait for the phone to completely reboot and be stable (scanning usb etc).
Now turn off airplane mode.
I dunno whats the relation but I never had the no deep sleep issue after following these steps.

I did that yesterday. Didn't work.
I have just finished flashing the jBroid.
I will be keeping you posted.
/Edit: it's not working... I tried flashing a new kernel, i tried the jBroid script, i tried the airplane mode trick... Nothing. What the hell is going on here? Could this be a hardware issue? I just got my logical board replaced due a previous faulty one, could they have replaced it with a used one that might also have problems? I don't know what to make. Does that happen?
This is so screwed up...
When my phone boots it only gets to the samsung logo
I am able to use the recoverymode and downloadmode.
Wiping data won´t work. Wiping cache works.
Can´t flash a CustomROM from my SDcard through CWM
I was able to connect my phone to the PC. ADB finds the phone but adb shell won´t work. (No such file or directory <2>)
How can I install either a regular Androidversion or a CustomROM now.
found this but only for Galaxy S3, so the files won´t help me

Download a Stock Rom from sammobile.com or one of the prerooted Roms (I always use a GB LC1 from bodivas for this) and install it with the PC version of Odin.
tried that, Odin stops at "NAND write start!!"
AW: Softbrick N7000 Need Help
What Rom did you have and what did you do before this happened?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Now I used a regular Android 4.0.4. ROM
Before that I tried with a 2.3.1 ROM. This is probably the reason for the trouble, isn´t it?

I wrote to download a new rom and to try it with Odin. 15 min later you said: did this.
So I want to ask: Did you really download a new Rom or did you use one you had already?
And what Rom exactly?
And what did you do before stopping at boot logo?

I was already downloading the 4.0.4. ROM. Because I read somewhere it´s not possible to go from ICS to Gingerbread.
The download just finished right after you answered and I tried. I am 100% sure i got the right ROM.
Before getting all these Problems, I wanted to get a CustomROM on my phone. Android 4.0.4 was installed at that point of time.
I rooted my phone and did a backup with CWM. Then i chose wipe data, while doing that I started to charge my phone (I don´t know if that matters). I didn´t see what happen exactly because i wasn´t looking at my phone all the time, but when i looked at it again there was only the charging sign shown. Then I tried to get into recoverymode again. This wouldn´t work. I tried to flash CWM with Odin which worked after some time. Then I tried to Wipe data and cache again. wipe data wouldn´t work. Wipe cache worked. I tried to install the backup. After waiting for more then 1 hour it looked like nothing happend and the installation was stuck. But the regular recovery of Android was installed.
Because flashing a ROM through CWM wouldn´t work, I tried to flash it through Odin. First time I tried with a Gingerbread Version. I was thinking, I don´t care which version as long as it works and try again to install a CustomROM from there on. Odin stopped at NAND Write Start!!. Tried it with the ICS Stock version. Same thing.
This is where I am at now
Did you use cwm.zip?
To use with Odin? No
When I started it from the regular Android Recoverymode? Yes
Don´t you think this might be exactly the problem I have?

my sons sg i9000 was rooted with a custom rom but then started playing up, now when i've wiped it and tried put new rom on it, all it does it force crash everything that was existing on his phone, so it looks like it is not wiping the phone anymore for some reason, i've tried flashing rom by odin but still the same effect, is there anything out there that totally wipes the phone for sure and then will allow me to put phone back to stock and then reroot.
many thanks if anyone can help as i am totally stuck now and my son is without his phone.:fingers-crossed:
If you restock via odin, usually all datas are deleted and wipes are done.
In this thread you will find many usefull things, also slappys rescue kit, in Android rescue, Recovery Kits content, which I used often and helped me a lot of times: i9000 Rescue EzBase Rescue with CF Root & semaphore root by nitr8 & chainfire, repacked by slaphead20
btw: the problem you mention seems to me more that you probably flashed a wrong ROM, which is not compatible to your device, or something went wrong during the installation?

thank you for the advise i will try and see what i can do
still having trouble with the phone, every time i reflash stock rom with odin it keeps starting up but then i have a lot of force close box popping up saying about all his old apps and and setting force closing and then when it get to the start up wizard it says it has forced closed and then can not go any further, this is why i cant understand why when i wipe all data and system it is not wiping it for some reason,im waiting on a download recovery for it but if anyone can understand what i mean and no a fix i will be most grateful as i have spent many hours now searching through xda for a answer and can not find any.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Could you give us some more information? What device do you have? And which ROMs did you try to flash? Which stock and which custom ROMS? And when do have the problems? After reboot from flashed stock rom or after flashing the custom rom? I think the stock rom you try to flash does not fit to your device?
i have tried the stock rom from samfirmware and my device is a galaxy s i9000, the custom rom was a old gingerbread rom, the problem comes when i have flashed the new stock rom with odin, it flashes with odin not a problem but then when it boots up and starts to go through the first 6 or 7 steps of the phones steps, ie ( keyboard use, packed data settings, wifi on or off and so on) it keeps popping up little dialog boxes saying sorry google play is not working force close and goes through a whole load of stuff saying the same thing for them all, hope this helps a little but is hard to describe
I would suggest to flash an other rom via odin. Try the rescue pack from slappy. Inside that pack, there should be a txt file, where additional infos are included how to use the different files. It could be that the sam firmware is not fully compatible with your phone or sometimes the download is corrupt or something else...

thank you for all the help today but think the phone is knackered nothing will work anymore on it nothing will boot up properly :crying:
no problem and you welcome...better would have been if my proposals had worked...but perhaps you are right and there is a hardware defect or something else...perhaps even a fluid defect....or it is only stressed for today and tomorrow all is fine again ! So head up, and don't give up.
Hope you flashed Stock GB ROM with pit file and Re-partition ticked
Hi all,
I'm still using my Galaxy S on Froyo and don't feel I need to upgrade to a new handset yet but I would like some advice on rooting and getting my phone updated to the latest and greatest F/W (Custom or standard) so that I can get the best out of my phone and give it a new lease of life. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've already used Odin a while ago to update from Eclair to Froyo so I've had a bit of experience with this apart from rooting and loading custom ROM's Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that. What is CM9? Will I need to root first?
I've just attempted rooting. Does this result from Odin look normal?
Hey, Tox. Thanks for the advice. Why CM9? There are later versions, is CM9 the most stable? I'd like to try Slim Bean. Do I need to install that CM9 before I attempt to put Slim Bean on? Also, will I need any other files/apps? I've checked that my i9000 is rooted ok by doing an su in a terminal emulator.
Could anybody point me to a straight forward tutorial which could help me from where I'm currently at?
I've now installed clockworkmod recovery and created a backup to the SD card in recovery mode. I'm guessing the next steps should be pretty straight forward. I just need to know which files I have to download. What's the best Slim Bean for me to try and what other apps should I install with it?
Ok, I've screwed up. I installed clockworkmod recovery and created a backup. I tried flashing the latest Slim Bean ROM and addon pak but my phone wouldn't connect to the cell network. I attempted to recover from the backup using CWM but my phone is now stuck in a bootloop with the Samsung splash screen. Can anybody help me please?

you lost your IMEI , that's why i told you to flash CM9 first , to avoid loosing IMEI ,
reflash 2.3.6 firmware via odin , root it , flash CM9 , then flash slim bean rom
Thanks. I've just flashed 2.3.6 again and then applied CWM recovery but it still boot loops. Do you know why I couldn't just restore from the backup I'd created?
How can I flash the CM9 pack with Odin? It's a ZIP folder and wont recognise it. Please help.
Is there any other way around this? I've just installed SB again with the addon pack just so that I could get the CM9 onto my SD card. What's the best way to sort this out and get my IMEI number sorted?
Can anyone help me at all?? I have the IMEI number in the back of the phone if that's any use?

this how to install cm 9
Put it ( zip file ) to your phone's internal sd-card
Reboot to recovery (vol up + home + power)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Advanced > wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from sd-card
Choose zip from sd-card
Select cm-9.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip
Confirm
Wait
Go back
Reboot
the same you way you do with a JB rom
and please push thanks button ,
Thanks for the reply T. So should I do a full wipe (Wipe data/factory reset Wipe cache Advanced > wipe dalvik cache) before installing 2.3.6, then apply the CWM update followed by your instructions above? Will that recover my IMEI because, as you said, it's definitely no longer there.
I've just wiped everything and installed GB 2.3.6 and got the following messages. Does this look ok? Also, after I'd done that, I rooted it with CWM then tried installing the latest stable CM10 but now when I reboot, it shows the CM/Samsung screen as if it was booting then it just goes back to the CWM recovery What do I do now??
Success!
I've just powered up my phone again and suddenly the Cyanogen startup screen appeared! I powered down and put the SIM back in from my backup phone and I'm back on the phone network. I was reading up on lots of other complicated ways of recovering the IMEI and this has been really straight forward. I'm liking the Cyanogen 10.1.2 so far so might stick with that. Thanks so much for your help TT!
So to answer a few of your questions, I know I'm late to the party but for future reference
-The reason why Tox recommended flashing CM9 first is because problems can occur going straight from 2.3.6 to Jelly Bean in terms of your IMEI- your device's "identification". If you lose the IMEI, you lose the ability to connect to your network provider. Flashing CM9 and letting it boot as an intermediate step prevents this from happening. Once you've booted CM9 when you flash and you have reception, you're all goods to flash any JB rom from there.
-Your bootloop from recovering the backup that you made from Slim- I'm guessing it was a backup from 2.3.6- has nothing to do with the IMEI. Phones can boot without the IMEI. Its because the data partitions in 2.3.6 are different to those in Jelly Bean. Hence they're incompatible with each other- you tried to restore a different data partition that what was available on Slim Bean (because it was Jelly Bean).
-Flashing any 2.3.6 rom will restore your IMEI. However regarding the photo you took with the red error messages...
-That's because of the reason I mentioned above, with the data partitions. Because they're different, the phone can't recognise them and so can't boot, hence resulting in a bootloop. Easy way to fix this- there's a file called dbsdata.rfs.tar (its somewhere in these forums, right now I can't find a link). If you get that situation again, just pul the battery and reinsert it, go back into download mode, put dbsdata.rfs.tar in PDA, let it flash. That should put the right data partition on the phone.
Hope that these clarified some of your questions!

Thanks for the tips and clarifying all that for me Soryuu. Much appreciated. Now I've learned a little more, I can have a play around with different ROMS with a bit of confidence. :good: Any suggestions on good things to try out? I think I still need to apply some add-on's for this CM10.1.2 build as I don't have market place, google, FB etc.

Don't forget your Gapps ;3 (most roms need them to be flashed seperately)
Good things to try out as in?

Hey,
I am trying to flash a ROM on my i8190. I tried the novefusion-roms as well as the stock rom. However if I flash the Gapps in the first cast the found crashes after the first boot during the optimizing apps steps. If I use the stock rom (rooted) and remove some Gapps (like Kiosk), the phone also crashes. Here's what I mean by crash: The phone turns off, turn on shows the boot logo, turns off and so on. Only after flashing the PARAM and re-partitioning the phone I get some life back into it (however senseless since I can't use the Gapps).
Any ideas are appreciated,

I assume you already tried different Gapps packages, also the littlest one available only with Play Store functionality (Pico package) ? Did you try to wipe /system via recovery and then flash ROM and Gapps? Greetings

You are correct. I tried the nano and the pico package. I did flash the ROMs via ODIN (since they would not even flash correctly with TWRP). However I did not wipe /system beforehand (since I assumed that this is a clean install). I might try this in addition to propably switching to CWM.
Thanks for you reply,
