Can't go back to 2.x - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
A while ago I've used Odin to upgrade to 4.1.2 with the leaked firmware. But then I wanted to try out MIUI, so before I could simply root my N7000 I had to get back to Android 2.x.
I've tried about 5-10 different stock firmwares from the official firmware thread but sometimes it just goes into a loop and other times I cant get passed the 'click on the android' setup, I get errors like process stopped, or cant load etc. I have a Dutch N7000, tried European, Netherlands and German stocks. Upgrading to 4.1+ ROMS however is simple and always works.
I've been dying to go back to 2.x or at least root my N7000 to get MIUI working. When I go to the bootloader I get that I have CSC KOR.

Are you on a GB rom now? if yes then boot into recovery and do a factory reset

Looking for Vodafone NL ROM

Hi,
I've flashed OpenSwift to my GT540, and can't get to the SIM Unlock menu (normally it would pop up if you enter 2945#*540#).
Now I thought it might be disabled in the ROM, so I planned to flash an official firmware back. But I can't find one.
The question:
Does anybody have a Dutch Vodafone ROM for my GT540?
Greetings,
Job
You can't go back from 2.1/2.2 to 1.6..
I have a 2.1 rom and i can get in the menu via 2945#*540#
I suggest to flash a 2.1 rom and try it again

Could you be a little more specific which rom you exactly have?
EDIT
I've flashed Open Europe 2.1 on my phone. It took waaaaaaay to long to get past the android logo, so I started to flash another 2.1+fastboot rom on it, but halfway through that flash my phone rebooted and android 2.1 showed up. (don't know which one of the roms...)
I've pressed 2945#*540# and it worked perfectly

[Q] Official Vodafone 2.3.3 issues reboot loop after rooting

Hello All,
I am hoping someone can give me some advice here is my situation.
I was running the official Vodafone 2.2
Yesterday after a long wait they released 2.3.3 so I used KIES to upgrade to this no problems.
Later I decide to root the phone so I can use Titanium backup to restore all my files settings etc.
I used a rooting method flashing with ODIN and the put my phone in to endless reboot loops.
I cleared the cache in the recovery mode and then erased the data partition with no change.
I needed to get the phone going so I flashed 2.3.4 XXJVQ with ODIN and it is working.
I want to go back to the official Vodafone version of 2.3.3 but I can't seem to work out how.
Can anyone please give me some info on how I might do this.
I assume if I could get the official 2.2 vodafone back on the phone the I could use KIES to push the new 2.3.3 but I just cant find that for download any where.
Thanks in advance
Chris

[Q] Quick question about three part fw

Hello guys. A very short and simple question:
I am now on android 4.3, Galaxy S3 I9305 German DBT firmware with KNOX bootloader. I have a problem with 4.3 - my phone restarts or freezes after or minute or so being turned on and I can not do anything about it. I have tried different FWs with Odin, different Custom ROMs, a lot of wiping with no success, but this problem newer happened when it was on 4.1.1 and I want to go back to 4.1.1. I have found a three part fw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023527. It's not my first try to downgrade and flash a ROM so I know how stuff works but it is my first time with KNOX bootloader, so that is why I am asking. Will I be able to get it working or it will brick my phone?
Thank you!

GT-P1000 Stock Rom SammMobile won''t flash only Overcome

Hello all, got a GT-P1000 Galaxy Tab1, it was previously ruined, and wouldn't boot anything but download mode, and wwhen charging the symbol would come up but never change.
So i decided to Reflash the FW with stock and that flashed fine the first time. But i was stuck on the samsung logo boot loop. As in Samsung logo would stay for 2 minutes, then disappear and reappear to do the exact same.
So i followed the overcome method - of flashing the SafeStockv5 Modem, and PIT. This booted straight into the OS of 2,3.3 and is booting fine.
My problem is that it starts up in italian, so need to select english, and there are a few Italian APPS, that can't be removed.
Anyone got any ideas on what FW i can flash to the tablet? If i try and do the 'stock' FW it hangs in oding on Hidden.rfs and won't budge. So forces me to reflash with Overcomes stock.
It's supposedly a UK Unbranded Galaxy Tab 1.
Any other info needed please ask.
Overcome gb stock safe v5 is Italian ROM. But it comes up only in English for me.
There are no Italian apps in there either.
Can you re flash it again?

I have a P1000 that my daughter left out in the rain overnight. After stripping it down and drowning it in iso-pro alcohol I was able to get it to start and get to the download screen.
I've followed the Overcome method of restocking it (no errors) but also cannot get past the Samsung logo. Can you tell me where you got the files from that you used to restock please? I'm using the ones I've used previously but there must be some subtle difference because it refuses to start.
Could this be anything to do with the fact that I did manage to upgrade this thing to CM11 (before the rain incident), can I no longer downgrade to GB? I shouldn't need to revert to a different stage should I? Is far as I remember I've done this before all the way to GB then up to CM11, but I can't be certain.
Any thoughts on what to try next - be a shame to throw the thing out when it is so close to working again.

AT&T Note 3 (USA) - Emergency Call Only

Hi Everyone,
I am kind of lost in the upgrade process.
6 months ago, my Samsung Note 3 (USA AT&T) phone was working perfectly fine, but just with OLD firmware. ,then due to urge on upgrading, i searched so many sites and found a link somewhere on droidviews.com (as my firmware was NJ1 or something, website said i need to upgrade to NC2, and then to OC1), this process messed up my phone call receiving & making capabilities.
Most of the time callers see me unreachable and I am unable to call them as i get "emergency calls only"....I still don't have a way out from this issue. Some places I read i need to install right CSC / modem etc, I even tried this thread by reflashing using ODIN & N900AUCUEOC1_N900AATTEOC1_N900AUCUEOC1_HOME.tar. Even after this, i still have calls related issues same as above.
Can someone guide me to right direct (or) did i totally messed up with this? BTW, i am now in INDIA, using Airtel services...
I believe nj1 firmware is newer than nc2.
The Odin files came from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/100-stock-lollipop-5-0-n900aucueoc1-t3069609 ?

Thanks. I tried flashing to OC1, still same problem. my calls are mostly not working. Is there a way i can go back to original 4.3 stock rom that came with Note3 AT&T? or is there a way i can get current AT&T rom (latest) to try with?
Good part is, i can go between 4.4.3 and 5.0 as i have original stock roms downloaded. But bad part is, my calls still failing...
appreciate any clue/help.
Where did you get the stock ROM? AT&T never released full firmware for the 900a.
There is no way to go back fully to 4.3 since the phone bootloader can be downgraded to 4.3.

Hi, i downloaded NC2 & OC1 stock firmwares from XDA only. they are loading up fine (using ODIN). But my calling problem remains same.
So, Yesterday, i tried rooting the phone and installed AllianceROM. then i went into series of issues like "unfortunately NFC has stopped", "unfortunately settings has stopped" etc... then followed the instruction to wipe/factory reset, 3 to 4 times and disabled NFC services etc. As of now, phone works fine, but still need to check the calling function for a week...
thanks for your time.

Are we SOL with 900a? I was in the wrong forum earlier and was ready to use update to 7...until I realized it wasn't for me.
Dying on Lollipop (where I landed after the 7 fallout)
I re-read my post and noticed that I made an error: the bootloader on an n900a CANNOT be downgraded.
You cannot flash any ROM to the phone using TWRP, you must use flashfire. Only ROMs based on the stock Samsung ROM can be flashed to the n900a.
