Phone restarting after flashing to Stock GB ROM

Apologies, but since I am a new user, I was not allowed to post in the thread in developer section.
I had bought a pre owned phone, on Rocket ROM (GB based), however as S-Pen apps were not working I decided to go on the stock ICS rooted way.
I followed the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I had downloaded the stock INdian ROM
N7000XXKK3 ------ 2.3.5 2011 November------ N7000ODDKK1 ------------------------India -------------------------Download

I followed the steps, downloaded Odin, and put the TAR file in PDA section, and flashed. All goes fine without error, on the phone it says everything is installed successfully. However after the process the phone just keeps restarting after the Samsung logo.
Have I done anything wrong here? How do I rectify the mistake and get my phone working

Did you clear cache/dalvik or do a wipe in recovery menu ? Looks like it's stuck because of leftover data from previous rom

Umm, pardon my ignorance as I am migrating from an ancient Nokia device.
No, I had done no such thing, no backups too as I just had it for a few days and no data so to speak of.
Should I be doing a wipe in recovery menu? And doesn't flashing the device, formats the memory too?

I think it should, but for some reasons it does not. To get rid of boot loop, go into recovery and clear cache. Should boot properly then
Also, avoid doing a factory reset on stock ics. If clearing cache wont help, i'd suggest flashing gb stock rom, doing a wipe and then upgrading to ics as wiping under ics has caused people a lot of troubles.

Yes you should do a wipe of cache memory and dalvik cache. That is availible from recovery menu. And no they arent allways formatted when flashing a new rom.
To go into recovery, do this.
Device off > vol-up+home+power. And now you are in recovery mode.

Also, avoid doing a factory reset on stock ics. If clearing cache wont help, i'd suggest flashing gb stock rom, doing a wipe and then upgrading to ics as wiping under ics has caused people a lot of troubles.

Thanks, I had read up how much ever I could, and am pretty wary of the emmc bug. Thats the reason I am flashing to a GB based stock rom, and then the ICS stock rom.
The error I got earlier is by flashing to a Indian GB Stock ROM, should I yet clear cache memory in the recovery mode?
A little bit of googling tells me I should be flashing to a ROM with multiple files (different ones for PDA, Modem, CSC etc) hence I am also downloading the stock Europe based ROM. Now the query is would the stock Europe GB ROM, cause any issues to a Note bought in India?
Edit: I wiped the cache partition in recovery mode, but the bootloop persists. I will try flashing to the Europe GB ROM and update.

Thanks, folks was able to install the Europe stock GB ROM, which I later flashed to an Indian stock ICS ROM. I have rooted the phone by a very helpful guide by Dr Ketan, however I miss some of the functions available to me on the rocket GB based ROM. Especially an option to have a data on/off option in quick notifications.
What is the purpose of rooting the stock ROM? Can I delete the bloatware that comes pre-installed on the stock ROM, once the phone is rooted? If yes how?
Any safe custom ICS ROM's you guys recommend? If I am right the correct way right now seems to be to flash a safe GB based ROM everytime before you flash an ICS ROM? Correct?
Last but not the least, thanks to the folks who replied and guided me in the thread, XDA is a very resourceful place, if you search it thoroughly.

About notification toggles - they are available in some roms, in others - not.
As far as rooting is concerned - yes, you can delete almost all the bloatware. There is a thread with APKs that are safe to remove - check it out and feel free to delete everything you won't be using. How ? Simple file explorer with root capabilities will do. Here's the list, thanks to pulser_g2:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
Safe custom ICS ROMs - I'd say go for CM9. For me, AOSP is the only way to go with Android. If you want TouchWiz based roms, however, can't really help cause i've never used them - there are plenty in development section though.
Nope, you don't need to flash GB ROM everytime. The problem with wipe affects only stock ICS roms ( so with stock-kernel based roms from Samsung, yeah, that's recommended ). But if you're going to flash/change/update roms like CM9, Criskelo etc. there is no need to go back to GB everytime.

Hi i was on ICS stunner and flash via PC Odin Stock GB rom.
everything goes ok but now i'm stuck on Samsung logo (bootloop)
i have to do cache/dalvik wip but i have only stock recovery.
Is there any way to do that on stock recovery or i have to flash a CWM instead ?
And if i have to so how to do that ?

Download abyss from the following site:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar
Flash the file with PC odin then reboot into abyss recovery. You can then do the wipe.

[Q] abnormal error, can anyone help me?

Hi,
I as of yet, am not going close to any ICS build till the issue gets solved by someone.
so I am experimenting with different gb roms. i was using checkrom v6 but didnt like it, so followed steps to install darkyrom/alliancerom extreme edition. i followed the steps as I was told to install allianceota and flash the rom through there. it didnt work. so instead using cmw i flashed through recovery, it did flash but there no root.
so now, i reflashed a stock la6 rooted rom from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
this went smoothly with no problems, so i installed allianceota as normal, this time when i try to flash the following messages come up:
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/CSC/KOR/system/'
Successfully applied multi CSC"
and then it gives me the option to reboot, wipe cache and a few other options, not full recovery mode.
shall i just reflash the rom through recovery, or am I doing something wrong? and does the slight error above mean I have a problem with my note?
cheers in advance.

Let me just say that almost every ICS ROM out there now has disabled the MMC_CAP_ERASE code in the kernel that activates the eMMc bug and bricks your phone. If you want stock ICS, you can use SpeedMod or Franco kernels. If you want AOKP, there is that now. If you want CM9, there's a bunch of variations plus the official CM9 nightly. If you read through the OP and stickies, you will be okay.
Are you on stock recovery still? It sounds like it from the error you are getting. Try flashing CWM recovery and installing the GB rom with that. Follow Drketan's thread in Android Development.

hmmm, so would you advise me to use ics? is it much better? i dont want to use cm9 builds as i need the spen apps and so on. i have looked into kingdroid or alba.
I'll have to think hard about this. i may give it a shot soon though..
oh and btw, I fixed the problem, yep it was to do with cwm it wasn't installed with the stock rooted rom. as for allianceota, it still didnt flash the rom, i had to flash the rom through cwm manually.
cheers anyhow.

I love ICS a lot more than GB. If you want to use stock ICS, I would just use Franco or Speedmod kernels with it and be safe. Read both of their forums and decide what you want to do.

I had the same problem with rom deodex i had flash with odin 1.85 firmware gingerbread here ; http://www.hotfile.com/dl/152168378/f76281c/N7000XXLC1_N7000OXXLB3_ATO.zip.html... then i made wipe cache and cache dalvick .

I've just flashed AlBa repack latest one on xxlq2, I did it by following the steps,
I thought i had broken my phone, because when the flashing finished and i was rebooting, at the beginning when it welcome to galaxy note n7000 and then goes to the bootup video, it restarted that several times, then after like a few minutes it loaded the homescreen and startup.

[Q] Help (Rooting/Brick issue)

I will try to be as detailed as possible. I have been long time user here, but this is the first time I'm posting. I usually read the instructions and posts and that usually suffices my needs. I was on a rooted galaxy note running chasmodo's assylum rom for quite some time now. For Flashing a new rom, I used to go to recovery mode, flash abbysnote kernel (v 3.9) and install a new rom. A few days ago i tried to flash Ezaechiel XXLT6 KM edition - V2.1. I guess I should have checked md5 of the downloaded rom coz after flashing it, my phone refused to boot up. It always took me to the recovery mode screen where i tried to install abyssnote kernel and reinstall assylum. but it didn't work. So I went to dr. ketan's post and tried to flash a pre rooted rom (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip) using pc odin. Now my phone works fine but i'm on ginger bread. I tried to flash new roms using recovery mode (abbyssnote kernel method) but no new rom can be installed. Everytime I try to install a new rom i face boot loop or get stuck on the setup screen. So I follow the PC odin method to flash the same pre rooted rom (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip) to get my phone working again. I would like to go back to assylumrom because i got used to aosp jellybean so much now. Anybody who has faced a similar problem in the past, please help

Use one of PhilZ kernels and then in his recovery prepare your device for a clean install (there is an option that does more than only "factory reset". With the old ones you didn't clean /preload.
Then follow the instructions to install your preferred Rom.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply thaidai. I will try the method and get back to you I used to do a clean wipe every time.

Mate first upgrade your stock ROM to ICS or JB. The ROMs like Asylum aren't supposed to be installed in GB, so first upgrade, then root and do a full wipe (data,cache,preload,dalvik) and get back to flash the ROM. No need to flash the Abyssnote every time, why do you do that?

I tried installing Cassies Xtraliterom XLC1 after the PC odin method. Got boot loop. What I'm basically saying is, after trying the PC odin method to rescue the device, I can't seem to install any other rom on it using the recovery mode route. Not even other GB roms. What am I to do??

I started using abyssnote kernel to install new roms after the "brick scare" of last year after which a lot of developers started recommending the method. I used to change between GB, ICS and JB roms easily using the abyssnote kernel. Don't know why it's not working anymore.

The only way I was able to go back from a KK Rom was to go to back to GB 2.3.6 first and then up from there.
I dont know if you did the same as me when installing a KK but I loaded up CM10.2 (or CM11) fist so as to upgrade the CWM and increase the partition as they recommend. I guess this has to be undone, and the best way is with ODIN and 2.3.6. I re-rooted and everything afterwards. Hope it works for you its only another 10 mins.

Actually there is a quicker way because I had to go back to JB from KK and doing this worked.
Simply flash a JB kernel first then your corresponding Rom and gapps.

I usually go back to a stock rom before trying something new - and most of the time I run into less problems. If you want to stay rooted and continue using custom roms, you might go with this:

i agree i always flash back to stock then flast dbdata file to sort out errors with partitions. then flash any other rom i require afterwards:laugh:

CyanogenMOD doesn't boot

Please help me! I'm familiar with Android flashing. I had more devices with custom roms so I don't know what should I dow now...
I have clockworkmod recovery. Factory reset and a fresh installed rom.
I wait more than 10 minutes after first boot without any response. Screen stays black.
Stock GB rom works without problem but I can not install CM.
CM ROMs not installing on my 5570 mini. What sould I do?
I have tried three recovery versions.
. cwm-touch-5.0.2.8-mini
. CWMR-6.0.2.7-StableV1.0-tass
. CWM-6.0.5.0-tass
Which one should I use?
I prefer CM11 rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715958
But I would be satisfied with a CM10 rom too. I tried CM10 from tass without success.
I have tried CM9 too. It has started but after system get in, phone freezes. I can't use CM9.
Main phone of mine is a Galaxy S3 and I had xperia and htc modells as well. I don't know what I'm doing wrong with galaxy mini. Would it be a problem if my phone is carrier locked?
These steps I'm following:
. Install stock GB ROM. (It's booting and works like charm).
. Install custom recovery.
. Do full wipe
. Install CM
. Wipe dalvik cache
. Reboot
. Phone doesn't start, screen stays black more than 10 min
Are there any specific step I skip anywhere?
Which stock rom do you use before install CM? Is it matters?
I'm very thankful about any ideas.

Please give me some advice!

Any update on this?
