Hey.
I wanted to restore my note from my first backup made, backup just after root/cwm. I made a new backup of current rom (lightning rom 1.0) GB and afterwards flashed the first restore. After this the phone wont boot. When power on or plug charger it shows display in 2 sec, then making gfx mess and I need to pull the battery. I can get it into download mode though, so I guess my plan is to find an image for my region (Denmark in Scandinavia). The phone was unbranded and factory uncloked.
How should I proceed?
When I look at roms in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 I can't find any specific for my country, but I know it's the same phones in danmark, sweden, norway, finland.
Can you help me choose a file and how can I flash eveything including default recovery, unroot, etc?
I had the phone for test purpose and have to return it, so as close to original as possible
Thanks in advance
Try same kernel as backup was from

How to choose and flash kernel and from where?
I have the cwm backup on my laptop, but I guess these files cant be used in Odin?
Which kernel to flash via odin?
As I can only get into download mode I think Odin is my only option? (please correct me if I'm wrong).

what version of the Galaxy Note do you own? the international (N7000) or the AT&T one (i717)?
I think he has the international one bud.. after all, he said that he wants to find an image to flash a Rom for his region (Denmark) and he explicitly said its the unbranded, factory unlock one.
@OP
Anyway, since you want to flash to stock GB (unroot as what you said) and you want to be as close to the said country your in right now...
here's the link of the stock GB ROM for Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden and Norway)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=2488
Hope that helps you finding the specific ROM that you're looking for.
Don't forget to hit me a "Thanks' button if I've helped you some way or the other.
Thank you for your help. I'm downloading the image as I write this. I saw it was a zip file, will I unzip it and get a tar file or md5 so I can flash it with Odin?
Is it 1 file containg recovery, kernel, rom, etc or how should I flash this file with Odin?
Thanks in advance.

you can flash this using PC Odin (you need the tar file only) or you can flash it also using Mobile ODIN, find the md5 and flash firmware (inside the app)
Do always be extra careful and PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MAKE A WIPE DATA on your phone, before you flash it okay?
There's a 'bug' circulating the flashing universe and this can leave a very nasty sting if your not careful with it.
Solved
I flashed the file and now it tries to boot atleast and can stay alive for more than a few seconds.
Next issue, it is in bootloop. Keeps showing Samsung boot image, turns off, and boots again, same cycle.
What to do next?
Reflash or anyone have another image that I could try?
Normal into bootloop in the 1st time after flash stock...boot into rexovery..wipe cache n dalcik..reboot

You did recovery data wipe/factory reset. Be thankfull you did not meet the superbrick bug. Dont do that again on unsafe kernel my friend. Person their only said cache and dalvik not data.

Okay. Lucky me then. But as I've read, I only thought it was ICS kernel where wipe data wasn't safe. In Samsung recovery there are only these two options of wipe, så couldn't do it another unless I changed kernel/recovery?

Hi All,
Hope I am in the good place to present my problem (i'm new in the forum and I'm just learning the "how to").
Yesterday I've rooted my Gnote (GTN7000 XXLPT - ICS just installed from OTA update). It was the paradise before i decide to instal "DPI change" ...
I set the DPI from 160 to 240 and then save + reboot ... Till that moment, my GNote stuck on the launching logo (Samsung Galaxy Note N7000).
I'm not an expert of Android (the proof ...) and I'm looking for the safest and easiest (step by step) solution to revive my GNote.
I know that XDA is an expert forum and therefore I please every of you that will see my request to help me ...
Ps: A part from the root I have applied no other manipulation on the phone (even the setup of the debuger mode).
Your kind help with this will be saving for me, given that there is no repair / after sale service available in my country.

I´d recommend flashing this kernel (HydraCore) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863
Kernel Installation
Install either through CWM or PC/Mobile ODIN in the usual manner. Wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache is unnecessary and wont make any difference. Flash only with 25% or more charge on the phone

If you had searched you would have known that you shouldn't use the app to change the DPI. Once you have reflashed a ROM or installed a new kernel, then use Rom Toolbox instead or edit the build.prop manually to change the DPI.

Dears,
Thanks a lot for all assistance with this. Google play will never lies me as long as XDA will be there !
From your various explanations I've drawn the process below (please confirm that my comprehension is correct):
1 - Download and install Mobile Odin (Please provide a link to the safest version); Dont know if Odin will see the phone since i've not activated the debuger mode when the phone parameters was accessible.
2 - Download and install Hydracore Kernel;
3 - Connect the phone on the PC and run Odin (at this step I am not sure to know what to do);
4 - Flash and enjoy (Hope I'll reach this step)
May be the procedure with CWM will be more practicable, especially in case Odin do not see the phone ... But I really not know how to handle it. That's the reason why I was asking a Step by Step assistance.
Thanks and Regards

You only use one of the two applications; Mobile Odin or PC Odin. You don't have to use them together. Since your phone doesn't boot, then I assume Mobile Odin is out of the question. I'm gonna write a quick guide to use PC Odin.
1- Download PC Odin from this link: http://ul.to/xt4607xx (you can search the forum, you will find many download links for Odin 1.85)
EDIT: Here's another link, the 1st one doesn't want to work anymore. http://k0nane.info/rom/odin-185.zip You can google "odin 1.85" and open the first link (it should be an xda forums attachment)
2- Download the standard tar file of the Hydracore 3.5 kernel from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863
3- Open PC Odin and click on PDA and choose your kernel tar file downloaded from step 2.
4- Remove all check marks and leave only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time CHECKED.
5- Turn your phone off and remove the battery and reinsert it.
6- Turn your phone on by pressing and holding the Power button + Menu button + Volume Down button (to get into Download mode).
7- Connect the phone to the USB cable and connect it to the computer. Odin should show a yellow box.
8- Press Start in PC Odin. The yellow box will turn green which means a successful flash.
9- Now you can wipe data safely (never wipe data using stock ICS kernel btw).
How is flashing the kernel going to solve the problem of a b0rked build.prop? Get out of here people.
The only solution to his problem is to flash a custom Rom.

Joey_oggie, thanks a lot for your step by step tutorial, it is realy clear now. I'll try it and revert to tou with the status of the phone.
Just a quick one, regardind the end of your post, you mentioned that I should not wipe a stock rom. My understanding is that stock rom = official samsung rom. Therefore it seems my rom was a stock one (GTN7000 XXLPT - rom updated from GB to ICS - OTA update), since I never change it.
Should I wathever do the wipe as mentioned in your post?

Hi Chasmodo,
I was just about to flash the Kernel of my GNote following Joey's + others advices above.
Please why do you think flashing the Kernel is not advisable? ... Do you think the phone will thereafter completely brick?
Please answer these two questions as quick as you can ... My finger is on the "red bouton" just waiting for you.
Could you also provide a link to a step by step tutorial in case the solution proposed by Joey is safe but comes unsuccessful ?
Thank you for your contribution.
Regards.
If your build.prop is corrupted/broken, flashing a new kernel won't fix it because it won't replace your build.prop.
As Chas said, the easiest fix would be to flash a custom ROM, as this will replace your build.prop.

Dave

Well, to flash a new ROM, he needs to be on a safe kernel...
And anyway, I thought wiping data = factory reset. Isn't that right? If so, then wouldn't the wipe fix his problem? I'm new to this stuff so excuse me if that's completely wrong.

Well, from what I read, most (if not all) Samsung stock ICS kernels have a bug which would corrupt the data partition when you wipe on any of them. The problem would appear when you wipe ON them, and not wipe them.

Also flashing the stock Samsung ROM would also solve the problem as it would replace the wrongly edited build.prop with the stock build.prop.
Assuming you have the stock ROM downloaded on your PC, flash it using PC ODIN as explained in an earlier post.
Everything downloading, installing and rooting the stock ROMs is explained here by Dr Ketan
Once that is done, you can root your stock ROM and install mobile odin. You can then flash any custom kernel which is safe and has the brick bug covered. Factory wipe using a safe custom kernel wont brick your phone then.
I am not sure if flashing a safe custom kernel and doing a factory reset would replace the faulty build.prop file with a stock one directly. Chasmodo could explain more....
Flashing a stock ROM would surely replace everything with stock. So you have a clean stock state from which you can play around (rooting, custom kernels/ROMS, etc)

Xda is full of instructions on how to use odin search it. Flashing a kernel won't fix your problem. Best to do as previously advised and flash a new rom, stock or custom either will do
AND DON'T PANIC take it slow and don't do anything before you understand the process your phone is currently in no danger what so ever but a faulty flash can definitely brick it

I read in Dr Ketan tutorial the following:
Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM
Yesterday, after my GNote freezed on the "Samsung Galaxy Note N7000" image I tried to hard reset by wiping user data via ICS recovery (just after rooting the phone with CWM.
Does it means that my GNote is now bricked?
If it is the case shoud I anyway continue to follow Dr. Ketan tutorial to flash my GNote with a stock rom?

Very sorry to say buddy, your Note most likely is bricked. I hope I am wrong.
Try installing a stock ROM, preferrably Ginger Bread ROM via PC ODIN. If it fails, most likely, at FactoryFS write, then your phone is surely bricked.
Let us know how it goes, we can guide you further accordingly.

Im new for rooting.i had follow the video below to root and at the end my bluetooth is not functioning. Can anyone teach me the way to unroot it so that i can send my devices for warrantly. After unroot,will my bluetooth recover? Thank for help
Go youtube n type *How to Root ICS on Galaxy Note GT-N7000* and click the first video.
Need more info.
Files you used.
Where were you before. (rom, kernel?)
The method you used involves Franco kernel which is no longer being supported.
Also, it is known that Bluetooth does not work on Franco.
Also, it uses temp cwm which is known potentially brick your device.
Next time remember to do more reading about it or just follow the up to date guides on XDA.
I can suggest to you to flash a safe kernel (I am not sure if that version of Franco from June is safe). Try speed mod or Hydracore kernel found in original development sub forum. Flash with Mobile Odin.
Then, test your bluetooth again.

Find the firmware number you're on, and flash stock kernel from here Flash it in PC odin. Instructions are on that thread. You will get unroot, and stock, and you can send it back. This however is assuming you are on stock samsung ICS? No custom roms? Correct?
I'm not sure what you did, but if you want to see if you're bluetooth is working, download the Hydracore kernel from here, put it in you're sd card, and flash right from recovery (vol up + power + home at the same time). Reboot back into recovery, don't boot up the system. Once you boot back into recovery, wipe cache go to advanced, wipe dalvik, then reboot system.
assuming that you have downloaded and placed the CWM Zip file, Super User Busybox and Super user Uninstaller Signed Zip file and placed the same in your device’s internal memory, turn off the device so that it can be entered in the recovery mode.
To enter your Galaxy Note in the recovery mode, Press Volume Up + Home Button and while holding these both, press Power Button to boot the device in the recovery mode. Release the keys once you see the Samsung logo.In recovery mode, select “install zip from sd card” and then followed by which select the “cwm zip file” followed by the “SU-Uninstaller-signed.zip” file.
It will take less than a minute to finish off the process.Once the device is unrooted successfully, you now need to select the option of “++++ Go Back ++++” and select the option of “reboot system now” to reboot the Galaxy Note.
use triangle away to reset flash counter for warranty purposes.

Okay,
now you can refer to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Search for the Malaysia ICS stock rom under N7000DXLR5---4.0.4/12.07.30-N7000OLBLR2
You can use CTRL+F to search your country as there are many roms there.
Now, you can follow Dr xp55's link to download the kernel only, but I find the rom list more thorough to get back to the exact state you were in before as flashing the rom will reflash the kernel as well.
Follow the instructions as given in the thread.
You will need:
1) A PC computer
2) USB cable to connect phone to PC
3) PC Odin, software download link is given in the thread.
4) The stock rom, also given in thread.
5) Your phone
Flashing your stock rom will:
Remove root.
Revert your kernel to stock ICS.
Note:
Stock ICS kernel is dangerous to factory reset on, once you have determined bluetooth is working, you may want to consider the following kernels:

I have used Triangle Away on XXBMA2 and the sboot it came with and while the flash counter is successfully reset, my system status flag is not, it keeps saying "custom" whatever I do with Triangle Away.

You need to do a complete wipe too.

Yes I have done that. I started on XXBMA2, rooted and stuff, used Triangle Away and before booting I went into download mode and flashed completely stock. After that didn't work I rooted again, used Triangle Away again, and again, before booting I flashed stock. The only thing being reset is the flash counter.
I think you doing something wrong. Take it easy, root first or use pre-rooted rom. Use TA and let it finish job, boot normally. Once you've done it, reboot to DL mode, use Odin to flash Stock ROM. Restart your phone, go to Back up & Reset section in menu, select Factory Reset and voila. Should be clean as New

Why use this Root Method? Well the main reasons are:
- You have a complete Odin Flashable ROM Package.
- No Insecure Kernels are used or required.
- You can flash these packages on Non-Rooted devices
- The Binary Flash Counter will NOT increase when flashing these ROM Packages.
- The Red Exclamation Mark will NOT appear at boot up.
- And finally, you only have to flash one file in Odin and you have a complete firmware including Root Permissions.

Its shows as original with a zero count so all he has to do is remove any apps that need root and he will be fine.

I know all about it and you right but.... His phone is fully working (except Modem) and it's risky sending it rooted even if counter shows 0, imho....

Good luck... If you don't succeed and you are in the area of Höör this weekend then contact me and I'll give it a try
Hi, i got a GT-I9305N too , you get system status flag as custom because your phone is still rooted, any modified changes in /system will make your system status as custom like su or busybox. In order to get system status flag to official, you need to reflash your phone with a stock rom with odin3 (Unroot the phone). Send me a private message and i'll link the right stock rom to you if you want, Comviq/tele2 rom if you bought the phone from them or nordic countries.
Use this to find the correct rom : http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305#sthash.YrJ0gDPY.dpuf

Baseband wouldn't work anyway, I need Perseus kernel for that to work, which is the whole reason why I am returning to stock (for service). The way I see it: as long as I can get the system status flag to say 'official' it doesn't matter how I do that because after I can flash any other official rom and the flag wont get touched, so I can return to my stock carrier rom anyway (which by the way is Tele2/Comviq as tico96 suggested).
Thanks for all the tips, I will give it another go tonight.
This is what I did just now:
While running XXBMA2 rooted and with Perseus kernel I applied Triangle Away
Rebooted straight into download mode (by holding home, vol down and power, should I be powering off normally first?)
Installed stock XXALIA
Cleared data
And the result?
Custom binary download: no
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: custom
Operating system status shows "modified"
Can someone honestly tell me they have been able to reset the system status flag on this hardware and also let me know exactly which ROM package they did it from and how they rooted etc. I don't care whether it is for I9305, I9305N or I9305T, radio working doesn't matter to me at all (because if radio has to work for it to revert to stock then I am ****ed either way).
I just want to return to system status: official or normal or whatever it is supposed to say.
Your non stock kernel is your problem. Just as soon as you boot with that you are "modified". Everything has to be stock kernel/recovery/CSC just with SU and you have to run TA and do a complete wipe before the system notice it's rooted. Then you are modified again.

Ok, so before running TA I have to have a stock kernel? But don't I need to reboot into a special mode if I have a secure kernel... meaning I end up booting a secure kernel to do the TA from anyway?
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever run TA on a system with stock kernel and recovery... I always assumed that I could replace those directly after, perhaps the check is done when I go into download mode? Will try that tonight!
Hello knowledgeable people!
I did a very stupid thing!... I took an official Samsung ROM package .tar.md5, remove the .md5 extension, extracted it, replaced boot.img with a custom kernel boot.img and re-compressed into a .tar package.
Then I took this .tar package and flashed it on the phone with Odin on my PC.
That didn't work, as expected.
The process blocked at one point.
I thought I will then just have to flash the Samsung official ROM to get everything back.
Well... not! I can flash the Samsung official ROM with Odin on my PC, but when the phone starts, it get stucked on bootloop on the glowing samsung logo.
I tried many things, including:
* wipe cache
* wipe data
but nothing worked...
At this point, I think I need to repartition/format everything and start from scratch but I don't know how to do this...
I tried to flash the Partition Identification Table kindly uploaded by @lyriquidperfection, but it didn't work (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950591) and it gets stuck in Odin as @narcarsiss mentions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33145970&postcount=2
Anyone has an idea?
> How to re-partition/re-format properly?
> Any other method to solve the bootloop?
Thanks for your help!
Why not to flash stock Sammy rom through Odin? This time - not modified?
Flash stock Sammy latest ROM .
Wipe everything in recovery and it should work.
I always have to wipe **** when installing official Sammy ROM.
Else it will stay at Samsung screen with flashing letters

What do you mean "wipe ****"?
Could you detail the steps?
1. Flash official sammy ROM through odin
2... enter recovery? (please confirm)
3... wipe what?
Thanks!
Have you tried flashing another kernel?Boeffla Etc then use KIES or Odin to flash back to stock
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
Yes enter recovery after flashing with Odin.
When u power on hold volume up home key and power all at the same time release them when u see Samsung gt i9305 then wipe cach and wipe the other one. There are 2 wipe options.
Your phone should boot now it takes some time the first time around a minute.
Let me know if it worked
- flash stock Samsung ROM for your country with Odin
- go to recovery wipe the 2 options When u power on hold volume up home key and power all at the same time release them when u see Samsung gt i9305
-phone should boot takes a minute before he goes trough the flashing Samsung screen.

I fear sending S3 to Samsung for repair is the only way, unfortunately... This is what I will do tomorrow (in 10hrs from now) unless a white knight arrives on this thread and gives me the golden solution!
You havent mentioned what rom version you tried.
I guess you used 4.3 official?
I could only guess but ther is probably more then just boot.img containing Knox code.
Knox is hindering users from downgrading bootloader and that maight be your problem now.
You did not mention wich version you try to recover to either.
So if you try with the old 4.1.2 it may be impossible.
Perhaps you need the newest official rom to get it working.

The home made package was on 4.3 base.
Then I tried to reflash official 4.3.
I will give a try with 4.1.2...
Well... didn't work either... since I already had knox bootloader...
It shows "unsupported version".
Oh well...

You can't flash the old version. Odin will revert it back while installing.

Okey
A bit far feched but is it possible your download is broken? Try DL again.
And either it is or not you could try installing 4.3 from different region as yours. Just to try every possability.
It shouldnt be impossible to fix this stupid phone
You dont have any nandroid backup some where.
Last option. Throw it on a brick wall to release som aggrevation and then you buy a Nexus 5. Problem solved.

You made me laugh!
Seriously: DL is OK (I flashed this very official ROM many times in the past) and I do have a nandroid, but result is the same (stuck at glowing samsung logo).
The issue is way deeper.
Thanks for your help! Before trying the brick wall, I will try to make it repaired by Samsung!

I had a brick once, butthe situation was a bit different. I have knox bootloader and tried to downgrade to a 4.1.2 rom without the bootloader package. The flash went ok, but my phone was stucked on Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 screen. After that, i was quite desperate and tried to reflash stock 4.3 via odin, but it failed :S
Then i tried to flash official Germany's 4.3 again, this time with the ODIN version inside CF-Root package (http://download.chainfire.eu/232/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.zip?retrieve_file=1), put the cable in another USB port, killed every kies proccess and rebooted phone in dowwnload mode. This time the flash went ok, i rebooted the phone into recovery (got bootloop) and wipe cache and factory reset. After this the phone booted up normally. Hope you can fix your phone

Thanks! Any idea is valuable!
How did you create the ball pack of "4.1.2 rom without the bootloader" - in other words: how did you remove the bootloader from there?

I'd used this tutotial (just the part of commands, added everything that the original ".md5" has, removing just the "sboot.img", i'm not 100% sure if this is the only file to be off the new package, as i said, didnt work for me ), the only difference is that i'm using cygwin instead of linux itself, it worked like a charm
Basically all u need to do is unpack a original .md5 firmware (use winrar or so) and move the files (except sboot.img) to your home directory of linux or, in my case, cygwin (originally C:\cygwin\home\user-name), start the console and type the command bellow, switching the ".imgs" to match yours, of course:
Code:
cd $HOME
tar -H ustar -c image_1 image_2 > your_odin_package.tar
After this you must have a 1Gb+ .tar file (considering you will make a stock samsung flashable), now you will add md5 checksum to that, just to avoid troubles:
Code:
md5sum -t your_odin_package.tar >> your_odin_package.tar
mv your_odin_package.tar your_odin_package.tar.md5
and voilà, you have your flashable odin package. Of course you can try making one with just the system.img, boot.img and modem.img. If the phone boots up, do a factory reset. I have no idea if this will work in any occasion having knox bootloader trying to flash official 4.1.x, but you can also try with a samsung 4.3 rom.
In the last scenario, try to CF auto-root your phone, then flash an official CWM recovery via odin using this method i told u, boot into recovery and flash a custom rom, do a factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik cache. I hope one of the options work for you.
I'd recommend trying to flash a custom recovery and then a custom rom. If phone boots up and is functional, try to flash samsung official 4.3 again (if your desire is having the stock of course), not forgeting to factory reset via cwm first to avoid troubles.
Been in maybe like pratically the same situation
1st flash philz touch recovery ( install latest version)
2nd backup ur efs in external sd and copy it to a pc just in case (important if u mess up imei )
3rd Copy and rom in the external sd
4th Wipe data,cache,dilvik
5th In mount and storage Format everything except external sd ( u can backup ur internal sd card with 3rd step)
6th Flash Rom and reboot
7th If no imei then try a newer modem
