[Q] Galaxy S not starting after boot animation

I have a peculiar problem.
I flashed a Doc Rom yesterday. After restarting the phone simply will not go past Black white samsung screen. I thought something might be wrong and flashed JPY firmware using odin. It was successful. But everything is fine except that the phone will not go past the Galaxy S boot animation screen. When I went to recovery mode it is showing an error message which goes something like this" cannot mount media. sd card requires preparation. go to the UI and format and boot options." I have got 3 button recovery as well as download mode. Is it possible to correct this error using ADB? Can somebody guide me. I am desperate as I love my phone very much.

i will not look for the problem cause ... if you have cwm check if lagfix is disabled and flash new rom via "install zip file" in cwm ... don't worry your phone is fine

At present condition, I have no CWM. I have only recovery 3e. Is it possible to flash CVM rhrough Odin?

If you can flash voodoo kernel, that has CMW inbuilt? Then try and figure it out from there?

I solved the problem by doing the following steps:
1. followed this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807784 and flashed XWJM8 whatever that may mean.
2. Voila after flashing the above with odin my phone restarted with familiar UI.
3. Suddenly I noticed that my phone does not have an IMEI and my sim card not detected. I was tempted to copy my backed up EFS folder and I resisted the temptation. Instead I copied the CWM and Doc's rom which I was using prevously to the External SD and afterwards copied the same to Internal SD.
4. I started my phone in recovery mode and i could see that still the error message was there. But I flashed CWM and again flashed Doc's Rom. After the phone restarted, I found that my sim was detected and everything was back to normal. OMG what a relief it was.
5. Thanks to XDA and it's members for helping me.

if u have root acess (and i hope yes)
u have to restore system, turn off and than turn on pressing home and volume up, 3 bottons in same time, than with volume keys and home choose BACKUP AND RESTORE, than ADVANCED RESTORE and than SYSTEM, if u have maked a backup u have to chose that backup or one of them if u have more. let him restore and choose REBOOT PHONE. now u have phone again.
if u need some help email me [email protected]

Borrowing the tread. I was using CM9 and installed NStools and after a while my phone rebooted and started then froze at my homescreen. I went in to recovery and did a factory reset and the phone worked again. So I tried installing NStools again and got bootloops so I did a factory reset again but now I get bootloops and I can't go in to recoverymode.
My question is can I just flash EZbase 4.0 (Gingerbread) and then flash CM9 directly from it?
Thanks.

[Q] Stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000" Bootscreen

Hi,
after flashing from TeamRocket ICS 1.3b (which worked very well for me) to MIUI 4 Note v8 to get Livewings Edition ( I used cwm for that, but did all wipes properly) I stuck at the Logo mentioned in the threadtitle.
The problem is now: I cant get out of this.
cwm works fine, but I cant start any Rom. Tried to flash several ones, but I still keep stucking...
Has someone an idea ?

Try downloading abyss kernel 3.9 and flash it in recovery and stay in recovery and reboot recovery. Then flash any rom after wiping all the cache and dalvik and data before final rebooting the system (after flashing the rom)
This should work !!

Use the above method i mentioned. It should work.
If nothing works then flash any rootable rom via PC Odin and you will be back to stock and then can root again and flash any other rom of your choice! Check out Dr Ketan's guide in the stickies post in development section of note forum !

got also the same predicament, just stuck in Samsung Galaxy N7000 bootup logo screen after I went to the recovery mode to format/system, format/cache..
I tried to follow the instructions actually on how to upgrade my CheckRom RevoHd v5 to Version 6...
The instructions were to format /system and format /cache... then copy the ROM to a new folder in the internal SD card...
Now the question is.. how can I copy the CheckRom RevoHD version 6.zip if I can't even boot back in recovery mode..
when I booted back.. it just stucks on that bootup logo screen.. ..

Bro how much time did you wait ? I was having the same problem! At least thats what i used to think... But turns out that the first boot takes REALLY long... took me approx 25 mins with rocketrom v22

If nothing works then flash any rootable rom via PC Odin and you will be back to stock and then can root again and flash any other rom of your choice!

to boot in recovery press and hold volume up home button and power button all at same time in any screen and keep pressing till the time the samsung logo again shows up. Then leave the buttons...it should now boot in recovery.

I already did that sir but It would really not open up recovery mode. I can however go to Download mode(with the Volume down) but what good is that anyway, right?
anyway, I have already fix my issue by reflashing it back via PC Odin...
I guess its either the instructions of flashing to the new version of CheckRom RevoHd v.6 is pretty much vague (though I really followed it to a tee) or simply the instructions are not that just well emphasized...

can you direct me to the rom you flashed via odin?
I tried flashing stock rom but i'm still in bootloop

Thanks, i'm out of bootloop, but i now i have the null keyboard error
edit solved: forgot to flash csc aswell

see my sig

what you need now to download a GB custom kernel then flash it with the current cwm: then do the following to get it right and rooted ics
1-right after flash the GB kernel go to advance and then reboot recovery.
2-boot into the new recovery flash any custom rom like darkynote.
3-bootup get mobile odin and get the chainfire repack ics LP1.
4-start mobile odin flash the chainfire repack and make sure all the boxes are ticked and wipe data also ticked.
5-after the flash is done it will reboot auto in to cwm flash the miui and all is done.
this log steps I'm telling you to follow so you won't encounter the banry count and yellow triangle.

Hi all. I also have the same problem. Initially I'm using LiquidSmooth rom. And then I went to Criskelo rom to try the rom...and didn't like it. And I tried to restore to LiquidSmooth and failed. Now I'm stuck in bootloader and when I try to flash anything on CWM, it hangs. Even if I leave it for awhile on the menu, it'll hang too. What should I do?

Stuck on Samsung Startup Screen
I tried various Stock Roms, but unable to go ahead of Samsung bootcreen. I can get into recovery menu & also download screen, so I assume my Note is not bricked. However I tried to flash old directly rootable GB ROM, ICS ROM, Latest GB ROM(Wipe) but nothing works. While flashing latest GB ROM "N7000XXLC1 (Wipe)" ODIN was stuck in data.fs, so flash was incomplete, In other ROMS flash was complete but I was stuck on Startup screen. I tried flashing "Q1_20110914_16GB.pit" file also but no luck. I also flashed Abyss Note Kernel 3.9 & 4.2 in ICS ROM, but I don't know how to flash this kernel in GB ROM as I'm unable to get into external memory card where I transferred kernel zip file. Please help me save my Note.

Kingdroid stuck on startup

So I installed Rocket rom, shortly after that I wanted to flash kingdroid rom and it's always stuck on startup. No matter what kernel I take or if I do a full wipe etc... It's always the same problem stuck on that startup screen. The lights of the button won't light up which normaly indicates that it won't boot if I'm correct?
Thanks in advance

Well I flashed cmw recovery, after that I flashed abyss kernel and then I tried to instal kingdroid rom.
At first it was always stuck on the samsung logo but this morning when I tried it, it wen't to the kingdroid boot animation but it stays there for a very long time and there isn't even an indication from the buttons that normaly would light up.
And when I flash back to rocketrom it works from the 1st time

Does anyone have an idea?

First of all, I would assume your on a safe kernel already right?
If your in one, just do a nandroid and/or titanium backup and wipe data/cache partition/dalvik cache and reboot recovery and install from SDcard and flash the Kingdroid Rom again. (make sure also you check the KD ROM as on the correct filesize,as perhaps you might have a bad downloaded file)

I'm pretty sure im on a safe kernel. I did as you said but then it keeps getting stuck on the kingdroid bootup animation

try redownloading the KD Rom file (delete the one you have now) and redo the steps (3 wipes) then flash the redownloaded ROM again.

Ok I completly redownloaded KD, did a full wipe, wiped cache and davik and then flashed the rom.
Still stuck on the boot animition.
I found out that if I take cf kernel or notecore kernel it would show the KD animation and if I take speedmod kernel it would just show the samsung logo.
I don't know why it won't boot up properly, I did it before and everything wen't very smooth.
Maybe something with the modem selection? Would be strange because I took the exact same one as last time when it did succeed

Anyone have a clue? I tried the KD by dr tailly v8.0 and this one works but I like the 7.4 that was made by that other guy more.

I assume you downloaded the zip file straight on the phone...Maybe you should download on pc and transfer it to the phone after...Doesn't do any harm trying it.

I've downloaded the zip file on my desktop and then put it on my sd card. I really don't understand why it won't boot properly

best advice I can give to you bud would be to downgrade to GB first and flash abysskernel, do the 3 wipes then flash KD again. (from your SD card)

yes, just put it on your external sd card...
P.S. reason why I suggested you to downgrade all the way back to GB is the fact that you've been tryin desperately to flash KDv8 on ICS with safe kernels and it's still not booting pass the KD logo right?
so if given that scenario, the only way I can think of that you haven't tried still doing, is flashing KD in stock GB and see if this method finally works....

actually was on the stock ics and tried to install kingdroid by CWM.zip
and wiped data and cache from touch/temporary cwm..
then after install it got stuck on the first screen...
since then have tried to flash stock ics / gb firmwares but not getting past the first screen

first of all, make sure you don't make some foolish steps in wiping your phone., secondly, try to uninstall cmpletely PC kies and reinstall it again after. Once you've reinstalled that, don't open it, just open PC ODIN and try to boot back your phone in download mode. Make sure you have a yellow box on COM:1 in ODIN and use an extracted stock GB tar file and start flashing again.
EDIT: Since you've just mentioned you already wipe data in stock ICS.. are you using a safe kernel when you did the wiped?
if not, you may have toasted your Note.. imho...

it can take 5 to 10 mins after install to start however if it still goes no further and you can get into recovery can you flash any custom kernal,if you can do so then wipe and try to reflash if not i would ask dr ketan as he is awesome and may be able to help

^ No need to wait for that, as OP has already done a stupid thing of wiping on a touch CWM.. something that shouldn't be done at all....
only thing he can do is go to the section for the pit method partition to revive his phone... that's it!

I suggest you ran first the partition scanner from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823918, see if your partition don't have one of those bricked blocks....(courtesy of hg42)

but sadly the stock recovery is not accessing my memory card files and only internal sd and it has no option to mount storage ..
how to access the files i put in my memory card.. or should i flash some other ics stock rom as they have more options in stock recovery ??

no need to aggravate the problem by flashing another ICS... your Note's been bitten already.. don't let it bite twice...

Your last rom flashed is KL3 then have you wipe cache and data from recovery?
If not then do it, it should boot then.
Make sure last rom was flashed correctly and u are currently on KL3
If you have to press home button in recovery to enter your choice then it should be gb (kl3)rom (on ics you need to press power to select)
If wiping cache and data also not work, then flash wipe version of gb rom. If it stuck at data.img then yu have got damaged and should send to service Centre, without doing anything

Okay, the fact you can go to download mode and CWM is excellent. The factory reset and wiping wont fix as their isn't an OS there due to it not installing properly. Just download another ROM to your SD as your current one appears to have an error and flash through CWM.
If that fails use odin and download mode to flash stock ROM on to your phone for a usable device

To be honest its pretty much a generic tutorial for all, just download the KitKat ROM for your phone allong with its Gapps.
Now download the CWM verson for your phone and flash it like before
Once flashed boot your phone up to make sure it works, then copy the ROM and Gapps across. Now boot back into recovery and make a nandroid backup, then select the wipe data/factory reset option and the wipe cache options. Then flash the ROM and Gapps and your phone should have Kitkat
