Rooted my Note now it wont boot up

Its been a while since ive been on these forums, i used to root and install custom roms on my X10 all the time..... but a Few days ago i rooted my Galaxy Note, following a tutorial from root galaxy note .com and my phone rebooted fine and after doing a root check my phone showed as being rooted, then last night in bed i installed lcd density and changed the settings upon restart my note is hanging on the Samsung bootup logo, i can get into odin mode where it stays on Downloading...Do not turn off target!!, i can also get it into Android System Recover, but cannot get the method of both buttons and power to work
I have been googling online for the last hour finding an answer and most seem to say i need to reflash the whole phone back to normal in odin but was wondering if there is any easier way to get back up and running especially as i didnt install any custom firmware on my phone
please help ??

This question dosn't belong to dev-forum.
But here's the quick answer:
LCD Density changes only one line that blongs to DPI in build.prop file. But you have to alter 2 lines.
So the quick way to revert your bootloop: go to recovery, make a full wipe and reflash your ROM.
If you want change your DPI: Alter it by manually change the lines in build.prop or grab ROM-Toolbox from market and make the changes.

hi thanks for the answer, when you say your rom ? ive been trying to find a custom uk 4.04 rom for the note for the last 45 mins but cant seem to find one, any ideas where ? also how would i change the build.prop without my phone being able to boot up, is it possible?

if it was on android recovery you might of escaped , you will find out when you flash firmware...if it gets stuck at factory fs its bricked...good luck

thanks for your advice, feel like giving myself a big slap honestly !!!! i was going to try a custom rom and see if it allowed that to work, where would i find an original 4.04 rom for the uk and o2 ?

some handy torrents here for stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590284
in future i would do a bit more reading before you muck around with your phone , and dont bother with the other sites this site has the best info

If I were you I flash a GB stock rom with pc odin. If it pass you are ok and you can wipe again but if stuck on factoryfs.img you are hardbricked.
Please put here also the link for the tutorial that you used.

i managed to use odin to reflash the original firmware and im back up and running
thanks for the help guys

Now spend some time first and read this guide.

Don't follow other sites different than XDA. It can leave you to a eMMC hardbrick.

Are you on stock kernel? If so then flash some safe kernel and try full wipe, if that too doesn't help, then flash stock firmware using pc odin.
I am assuming you are on ICS, as you didn't provide any info. You should have mentioned the method used for root and everything.

Now i cant even get to download mode to use odin to flash GB rom. I tried flashing abyss kernel using srock ICS recovery and that's the main reason for current situation i think. Any help?

Take it to a samsung service center and ask them to reset the phone. Tell them its too slow after the latest update using kies. If there is a problem with the motherboard they will report back and replace under warranty.
Else they will install the OS completely new and you can start from scratch to root and install other custom roms.

Try using USB jig to go to download mode, try it first. Jig is not expensive.

No it's not bricked. Yes you lose your warranty, but you can unroot your Note. Don't warry Note is so good phone, that you don't need warranty

Then if it's not bricked why i need to remove the battery for 1 hour and wait an other 2 hours to finally open my phone after a simple turn off? Thats why i want the warranty so i can take the phone to samsung and fix this issue. And im afraid to unroot it cause when ever i try to put my phone on recovery mode its stucks and take for ever to open againm\

Use LG mobile support tool, also its "stuck" not "stock"

What are you on? He needs to reflash the rom as he changed the fonts and some may be missing, happens to loads of people, no need for a factory reset, just restore the fonts folder or reflash the rom, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader, bite the bullet, unlock ya bootloader and come over to AOSP in which i would recommend a 4.2.2 ROM.. or do the long winded way of flashing the stock Rom, your all giving some real extreme methods, it doesn't have to be this complicated..

Yes we have a locked bootloader. We have to use safestrap instead of the usual recovery like cwm or twrp.

Thank you so much i saw this post before but i stayed away from it because im new to android and this rooting/hacking...im not gonna lie ive always been an iphone person with a jailbreak but i dont hate on either phone because they are both great just personal preference. but thanks for the help now i have that working soll my last thing to figure out that scares me the most lol is installing new roms because thats how my first android messed up then i switched to iphone and have used them forever. do you know of a post that shows you how to set up the rom i can only find a post of compatible roms but i went to the safestrap screen and there is 4 rom slots and my stock rom slot and im not sure what any of that means.

Hi there, I have a question also,
Do I need to flash a custom rom using safestrap and then flash the script, or can I just use safestrap to flash the script on my ATT stock rom?
Thank you in advance.

As you followed a guide that just ripped DooMLoRD's work from XDA, you most probably flashed the wrong kernel for your firmware, which is the cause of your problem.
Get the correct kernel from here, which is the source of the guide and files that website is using.

thanks for reply plz stick with me for a sec plz
