[Q] Samsung GT N 7000 - Yellow excalamation not bootin - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Team,
I thought of going for JB, before that I tried in googleplay verified through (Root Checker, joeykrim) whether it is rooted or not.. while the root checker says as "not rooted"
1. Through of the website it said tobe root so I installed through ODINv.3.04 : PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.63.tar.md5 (It said PASS) by default and (auto reboot) & (F.reset time) checked.
2. Device restarted with Yellow Exclamation mark with dead black screen.
3. Next I have done is Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache Partition but nothing worked.
4. PhilZ Touch 4 CWM Base version 6.0.2.8
Finally, I forgot to enable Debugging On. before entering into overall process.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sathish .J

Hi Sathish,
went through your post.
Just answer the following to get the things clear:
1. What files did you flash?
2. Did you flash only the philz kernel or anything else?
3. Which version did you had before flashing the things?
And short and sweet what i can get from your message is that you just installed the kernel and not the whole OS (JB)
So just try answering or doing as above.
Press THANKS if this helped

Hello coolfire000,
Thanks for getting back. Actually I tried for getting root access through this package (PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.63.tar.md5).
Anyhow I retried back all through custom rom.
Nothing to worry.

OK bro,
Just to inform as i already mentioned in previous post, firstly you should flash any firmware and only then its rooted kernel to start your phone
And also please do remove the yellow exclamation mark with proper software to have warranty.
Hope this helped you.
Bye and best luck for future :good::good::good:

As I understand u had been flashed Philz xxlsz kernel which is based on JB. While u r flashing this kernel you were on a rom other than JB (Maybe GB or ICS) Thats why phone did not boot. Just follow below step may help you to recover your phone
Download n copy any custom rom based on JB XXLSZ to your memory card via Card reader since your phone is not functioning currently.
Boot your phone into recovery mode (Hold Vol up + Home and power key at sam time)
Do all wipes. Then select install from external sd card. Select previously copied custom rom. Wait until its fininsh every thing.. phone will reboot
Hope this help you.
For yellow exclamation triangle you may remove using CF trinngleaway app. It's available in the playstore.

[Flashing] Galaxy Note, black screen

Good evening everyone. :3
My I wanted to root and put a new ROM in my phone, and it didn't succed so well as I'd hoped for. /:
First off I I did a factory reset using the tool in settings. (That's a full wipe, right?)
After that I rooted my phone using this root thingie, and I chose to use Method 2: Root + CWM recovery, and I followed everything correctly and it seemed to have worked out fine, I had the CWM & the superuser app in my phone after the restart. c: I did not touch them though!
Anyways, before the rooting, I put the ROM in my DCIM library, and I chose to use the CHECKROM, V4.
So when I finished the rooting, I went to this ''volume up'' mode, and installed the ROM. C:
Once again everything seemed to go with the flow.
When the installation was complete & it said ''Everything is good, restart your phone''. I did, and now the screen is black, the only thing I see when I start it is the white text saying ''Samsung GT-N7000'', and it blurs/fades away.
I can't enter volume up mode (Recovery mode?), but I can enter the download mode.
FYI: After the rooting and the installtation of the ROM I made a backup!
I can't find my phone in my computer either, so I can't reach any files. /:
Please users of XDA, help me. :3
Yours sincerely Viktor
Edit: The phone is up and running now, flashed it back to the stock rom using Dr.Ketan's guide. .
Thanks a lot for that mate. C:<3
Now I'll try to root it & put a new ROM it again, I'll update this post wheter or not I succed.
Theres a thread like this at the top of the other forum. Enter download mode and flash stock rom using odin.

But flashing this & dat, it doesn't make any sense to me. /:

It's so frikkin' hard. o:
Did you flash the stock rom and is it ok now?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Uhm, I have no idea.. x:
When the phone didn't start I used Odin, followed a guide and ''put in a'' stockrom in the phone, but it was so buggy, I couldn't be in the menus because it crashed... x:
So I had to do a factory reset, and now the phone is working, but I can't use the Zergrush & the other guides to root it now.. :c

You probably flashed a kl7 / 8 / la1-4 rom which are not directly rootable. You need to flash a older rom. Go to development forum and find out more.

I would download and flash a older rootable firmware version (afaik anything before KL7/KL8/LA1 ...) using Odin.
After that root and flash CF-Root kernel using Method 2 as described here.
Important: You need to use the right CF-Root kernel for the firmware version you flashed!
Next step would be booting into recovery and making a backup with CWM.
After that flash the rom you want to try using CWM in recovery mode.
Some devs advice to reboot twice after each flashing.
Search the instructions in the thread of the rom you want to flash for info about wiping (checkrom devs advise to do fullwipe before flashing).
First boot after flashing a rom might take some time, just wait a few minutes.
This is the CF-Root thread, also worth reading.

Are you sure I don't have the right firmware right now?
I got this one, N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries -----------------. And I downloaded and flashed it with Dr.ketan's guide.
I have tried to root it with CF now several times, but all it says when I start the root thingy is ''--- STARTING ----
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE''
After that it doesn't move at all. ):
Did you make sure to
- enable "USB DEBUGGING" (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development)?
- enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" (Menu\Settings\Applications)?
Don't have Kies/Odin running while rooting, exit antivirus, pc suites, etc.
If it still doesn't work after that I'm afraid I can't help you.

Yup, both of those where enabled, and kies were closed.
At this moment I am rooting using the zergrush exploit, I found the problem in the Rooting thread.
About Win7 64 bits user:
please try to run the "runme.bat" before connect the phone to computer.
1.disconnect your phone & computer
2.run "runme.bat", you can see cmd box, and process will stop on:
--- STARTING ----
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully * <---here
then connect the phone, and go on..

Yes I made an hard reset before I started the rooting.
I'll try to fix the ROM, again.. x: I'll be back soon to inform you of my success.. (;
Yours sincerely Viktor
H'okai, the rooting and the installation of the ROM was succesful.
Thing is that the booting loops all the time, and I never come to the home screen.
First it starts with the Samsung GT-N7000, and moves on to the blue stripes & dots(looks like your in space or something. :3 )
After that it gets stuck on the part when it says Samsung and it pulsases in blue around the logo.
After that the booting sequence restarts, and I've tried to install the ROM using CWM Recovery three times, and it still loops. /:
Yours sincerely Viktor
Edit: Googled and found this thread.
After the wipe in recovery mode the boot loop started and I can now enter the phone.
Quite interesting with this WIN7 64bit thing, didn't know about that.
Glad you got it running.
Don't forget to backup. ;-)

[email protected] #3
Build Number

When I hold the power button, I don't see any 'Recovery' option (The only options are 'Silent mode', 'Data network mode', 'Flight mode', 'Power off' and 'Restart'). What am I missing/doing wrong..?
Many thanks to anyone who can help.
PS. Apologies for posting this in the Q&A section. I'm relatively new so can't yet make a post in the relevant development thread.
only custom ROM users get the APM (advanced power menu)
you will have to do it manually, Power off the phone and hold volume UP + Home + Power all at once
let go when you see the GT-N7000 screen

Thankyou VERY much. I did it, but haven't tried the rooting procedure yet. In the recovery menu, I saw a message about CSC being successfully applied. What does this mean...?
not sure what CSC stands for but it happens to us all, Dont worry about it, Its a good thing that it was applied successfully
Csc is country sales code. And yes as azzledazzle said, its normal to see that message.

All went well (or so I thought) but I have 2 problems:-
I don't think I'm properly or fully rooted. After following the above steps, I installed Mobile Odin Pro (v2.45) and attempted to flash CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip. I extracted the tar file, placed it on the external SD card and ran it using Mobile Odin Pro. However, upon rebooting, I see that my baseband, kernel version, build no. etc. are still showing exactly the same info in the 'About phone' section under Settings, ie.
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband Version
N70000XXLPT
Kernel Version
3.0.15-N7000XXLQ2-CL605927
[email protected] #3
Build Number
IML74K.XXLQ2
Is this normal or have I missed an important step? I saw on another thread that perhaps I should have extracted both the tar and zimage files from the CFRoot zip, and then flashed? If so, could someone kindly tell me exactly what to do. For info, SU seems to have installed ok and has granted the necessary permissions to CWM and Mobile Odin Pro as root apps but I can't get into or use either app. What am I missing or doing wrong?
After rebooting, I can no longer use Mobile Odin Pro so cannot attempt a proper flash of whatever kernel I should be using. I can mostly now not get past the 'Loading...Checking SuperUser support...' splash screen. During this period, I see a pop-up which confirms the app has been 'granted SuperUser permissions for an interactive shell'; this pop-up usually appears several times during this loading period. Very occassionally, it gets past the Loading screen but then stays for an equally lengthy time at the next 'Loading...Detecting device model...' screen. If it gets past that, it then fails to detect any device model so I cannot use the app. What am I doing wrong? I've tried rebooting several times - no joy. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app - again, no joy.
If anyone can help me out of my rooting misery, I'd be really grateful.
One more thing - I'm not completely clear how I revert to/reinstall a stock ICS ROM once I am properly rooted or from where the phone is now? Can someone please just clarify this for me.
Apologies for the long post - just wanted to give as much information as possible.
Many thanks to all who can help
im not so sure but when you installed cwm and buzybox you did so to flash a custom rom
if you flash a custom rom you will keep the phone root and so on (supersu ecc...)
else you loose partially the root and you need to reflash the apps you lost on rebbot
so choose good cutom ics and go for it
you might try cssie xlite....180 mega
or Rocket Rom 7 700 mg
both work well
p.s. never full wipe or factory reset on ics cfroot kernell....
just do t with abyss kernel 4.2 if you need it and read about eemmmc bug crack
p.s.2 look for drkeatan posts and chasmodo....they made good walkthrough pro

Thanks for the reply. I only rooted in order to use certain root apps (Root Explorer, Titanium Backup etc) and was under the impression that the CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.zip was basically a slightly modified stock ICS ROM with CWM included..?

The way I've always rooted is to run the adb script on a gb from, can be found in dr K's post. You need to be rooted before you can flash cwm kernel, 2 separate processes (although combined in some scripts.
There is also a thread somewhere with pre-rooted stock roms, so you could flash one of those as normal with PC Odin and then flash cwm kernel. Might be easier.

[Q] How can i install custom ICS roms on my N7000? I tried Everything !!

Hey Guys If anyone can help i would Greatly Appreciate it !!! I cant seem to install any ICS custom Roms. I came from a Ginger Bread rooted stock rom. I used Odin to flash my N7000 to ICS 4.0.3 stock ( Baseband XXLPT-Build #XXPLY) got it rooted and now using Kernel Franco#5. I tried installing Kingdroid.V4 or RocketRom.V7 ICS roms by using Abyss Kernel4.2 at CWM. I followed every step on their Forums but for some reason at installing the rom, the flashing of installing it only took 15-20 seconds installing the rom and my phone states it "Completed" the install, once i restart the phone it stays on the "Samsung Note N700 Logo" what am i doing wrong ?? Can anyone help ?
This worked for me. From the stock ICS LQ2 , i flash CWM.zip + SU... .zip to get root, then flash a safe kernel, afterwards, I flashed the custom rom from CWM and worked for me. As long as the "safe ics kernel" has mmc_cap disabled, as it is said in the OP, than i just went for it , so all is good now without any flashing abyss... Hope this helps, or gives you a boost.
Cheers.
Check the videos in my sig....you should get the answers fir everything :good:

Also, remember the issues around flashing with ICS ROMS especially if running the LPY kernel. The best guide I have found on how to do this is the one from the Rocket ROM team. Have pasted a link to the thread (scroll to the bottom of the page for process).

Thanks for the help but i tried that method and its still not installing the ics rom correctly...No one knows if this is possible to flash through odin ?
I face this problem before.. the GT-N7000 will just stay on n not go off for long long time
what i did.. when i see that screen stuck n i confirm it is stuck.. then i press vol up+power+home to reboot into recovery....
when rebooted u will see abssy 4.2 is load up.. from there you install rom n then reboot system..
it should work

I tried that method too but no luck. It installs but only took 15 seconds and it stated it was done installing, once rebooted it stood on the logo again. I have no clue as to why its not installing these ICS roms correctly.....
Litening rom does come with .tar.md5 format, maybe you can try flashing that wih PC Odin since you're comfortable with it. Link www.liteningrom.com.
1. Download the file .rar into your PC and unzip until you get .tar.md5
2. Flash using PC Odin. It will NOT trigger yellow triangle (I've tested it)
3. Your phone will reboot to STOCK recovery. Just select reboot system and WAIT. Kinda long...but just wait until it's done.
4. You can proceed to flash kernel with custom recovery by using Mobile Odin, e.g. speedmod, etc

Thanks kopitalk for the info. It worked like a charm through odin. I would of liked some of the Samsung galaxy S3 modifications on this rom but at least it worked like a charm with that Md5 File.

Dude before you brick your phone.. Go download notecore kernel and flash it via pc odin... After that you will see a yellow triangle on the boot screen.. Do not worry about it for now..
Then in the boot screen press volume up+home+power once in CWM wipe data and reboot
Once booted in Android download triangle away app and install it then follow steps to remove the yellow triangle
After that download any desired rom.. As you are gonna be in a safe kernel (yes notecore its a safe kernel) follow all the developer's steps to install the desired rom
It will basically be put the rom in the internal sd, boot to cwm (power+volume up+home) wipe data /wipe cache, choose zip from internal sd and flash the rom
REMEMBER YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS FROM A SAFE KERNEL..

As far as I can see, you have some sort of corruption in your emmc or some other partition. If i were you, to be on the safe side i would have taken all the trouble to start again from scratch. Flashing a GB rom with Odin with a .pit file and re-partitioning enabled should wipe your note clean (dont worry no brick with pc odin) . Then flash a "safe" ics kernel either by pc odin (safer and you can remove the triangle and custom flash count by triangle away app) or by cwm.zip (use only once while flashing kernel). Then choose the custom ics rom that you want to install and flash it from the new kernel recovery (no need for abyss kernel etc) with full wipe (data,cache,dalvik). Also if you face problems go through this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732903
P.S. - I highly recommend starting from scratch by re-partitioning via Odin with correct pit file.
Press the thanks button if helped.

Please help! I messed up my phone flashing Abyss kernel.

Hi everyone. I desperately need your expertise and help please. I had Stunner ICS rom running on my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, but it seemed to be a bit of a battery drain, so I figured I'd get another rom. So before that I flashed AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar with PC Odin just to be safe (oh, the irony) because I wasn't sure what kernel I was on, and that was when the trouble started.
Basically, the phone cannot be booted now. I don't even see the Samsung logo screen, it's just Samsung GALAXY NOTE GT-N7000 with a yellow triangle. I tried booting into clockworkmod recovery, but cannot move the selection up or down or make any selections, so I can't even install recoveries or anything.
Is it bricked? What can I do to save my phone? Please, help!

Its because Abyss is being used to flashing roms to be on safer side.
First Switch off your phone.
Now Press Vol Up+Home+Power Button simultaneously and keep it holding all three buttons while you get into recovery mode.
Now flash a safe kernel and reboot system.
Let me know if it worked for you

Hello, thanks so much for replying! I did manage to enter recovery mode, but I'm unable to make any selections. In recovery mode, it seems like the screen refreshes every few seconds, so I cannot scroll up or down properly, much less flash any kernels...

In that case, try using your finger to make selections just like how you use a phone normally with your finger. I believe the selection keys don't work for that version.

So is it not possible to make selection by touching the buttons ?
because you will have Abyss Touch Recovery for now
Put Phone into Download Mode by pressing Volume. down+Home Key +Power Key
Flash Stock GB (Pre-rooted LC1 from Bodivas - VERY IMPORTANT )
Do all Wipes. (reset,cache and dalvik)
Flash Abyss 4.2 through Mobile Odin and not PC Odin
Again Wipe All.
Flash Stock ICS thru PC Odin
Root by Dr. ketan method
Use Triangle away app.
Done

Wow... I'm an idiot. Thanks guys! It never occurred to me that I can use the touch screen during recovery, just too used to the volume buttons I guess. Anyway I managed to install the Stunner ICS .zip again so now my phone seems to be back to its original state. Phew.
I'm still wondering though, because I'm pretty sure Abyss is quite a safe kernel. What should I do to avoid such things happening again?
Thank you all!

Never Reboot the system after flashing Abyss. Just Reboot Recovery. Flash Rom,(Flash Gapps if you are going to cm9,AOKP,AOSP,etc) and then reboot system

Why you need PC Odin to flash Abyss Recovery ? You can do it with CWM. or if you want to flash using PC Odin flash GB rom(Prerooted) and then follow the procedures

Abyss is a safe kernel. The issue was that you installed abyss kernel (GB kernel) with a rom which can't work with such kernel (needed ics kernel).
After you installed abyss and getting stuck on the galaxy note screen you should have rebooted in recovery mode, do the three wipes and installed your new rom.

Oops, sorry for the noobness overload! I didn't know Abyss is a GB kernel. So I should have rebooted into recovery mode and installed the new rom immediately after flashing Abyss, or should I have used an ICS kernel in the first place?

Did you read stickies ? Would you mind read this whole thread ? I said there is no need to flash Abyss via PC Odin. And for Root Why you flashed Abyss ? Abyss is to be used when you are on ICS and want to flash a New Rom . Since GB roms are safe to flash There is no need to flash Abyss on GB Roms.
Which rom version you are on ? Know it or not ?
If you know the version then download stock GB kernel from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371007
Use PC Odin to flash. I recommend to use Odin v1.83 or 1.87 to flash.
It will be fine.
First do this and Wipe Cache/Dalvik in Recovery if you face any problems after flashing by going to recovery mode.
Good Luck !!!
For Rooting the Rom Check this thread and follow the instructions (2nd Post) All credits to him.

Excuse my little experience, i always read online before doing anything, thats why i have only 5 posts since 2006. My BIG mistake is i followed instruction from another website. i guess im paying for this now.
My problem now is : I dont know which version of GB I had on the N7000, I buy it from Dubai. I tried to download the Kernel from the stock GB kernel link you provided but the link is broken .
I searched alot and couldnt find any .
I really appreciate your help. Im an adventurous person who likes to dive and learn. Strong heart Maybe

[Q] Help restoring my rooted Galaxy Note n7000 to stock status.

Hi there,
I have a rooted Galaxy Note N7000 running JellyBean 4.1.2. and I've got a ton of apps/photos/videos/messages... etc.
and I've sensed the phone is getting slow. I've removed all the unnecessary apps and deleted photos/videos etc..
but its still slow.
so anyway I decided to start from scratch, I decided to unroot the phone and install a stock rom. delete all photos/videos/apps.. everything.
so I downloaded the official latest stock rom released from samsung for my region. (N7000JPLSB_N7000OJPLSB_XSG)
and I've looked at many many pages on the internet and some site different methods than other, which got confusing.
finally i decided i'd go with the method mentioned in this page:
rootgalaxynote(dot)com/galaxy-note-unroot/how-to-unroot-galaxy-note-gt-n7000/
(sorry for the link formatting it wouldn't let me post a url)
the problem is, at the end of the page it says to do a “Wipe data/factory reset”. However, I have read on many sites and threads that you should never do a factory reset on stock Rom!
So now i'm confused.
1- is the method mentioned in the page i linked above correct and safe?
2- will the method above delete everything? ie: photos/videos/apps.. etc (which is what i want) if not, how do i achieve that?
3- do i do a Wipe data/factory reset? or not?
Thanks in advance.

Flash Philz kernel and boot into cwm recovery. The go to mounts and storage and format system, data, cache and preload. This will completely erase the trace of old system. Then go back to advanced menu and choose reboot download. Then flash the rom as per reply by above member.
Before doing this just make sure you have a working usb connection because after the steps there won't the any rom on phone to boot till you flash the new now.

HI, thanks for your reply, i found Philz Kernel, but what is cwm recovery? and how do i boot into it?
To boot in CWM, you shut down your Note. And then you press Vol-, Home and Power for recovery Mode.

Recovery mode is a mode in which you have control on Android file systems, internal and external SD cards. It run without Android.
Thanks, about the Kernel though.. as I said I found the page regarding Philz kernel, but there are so many of them i really don't know which one to download. there are so many threads intertwined it get really confusing.
is it the one in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31911682&postcount=3
should i download the JPLSB one? will this root my phone (again?) cause i don't want it rooted.
should i even download the kernel? i mean do i really need to? is it because my current kernel will cause problems?

or
- PhilZ-cwm6-JPLSB-UAE-5.00.5-signed.zip
cause in the thread it says the zip will root the phone, and i don't want to root the phone, can i flash using the tar.md5 one?

Check .tar.md5
Find Odin v3.04. Put philz kernel .tar.md5 on Pda case. And flash it

Yes, use tar.md5 file with Odin PC as previously shown.
That file is Philz kernel and add ROOT by default. To avoid root add, use philz_installer.cfg as indicated in the Philz thread.
Ok great, thank you for all the help.
i just hope i don't brick the phone
HI just one last fast question please...
as for philz_installer.cfg it says to put it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/philz_installer.cfg
but i don't have a clockworkmod folder.
should i create it? or put on directly on /sdcard main folder?
Don't use the tar file. It will cause a yellow triangle. Use the zip version. Place it on external sd card. Don't worry about cfg file for now. Boot into recovery and choose apply update from external storage. Choose the zip and flash. After it completes, click on reboot system. The again boot into recovery and you should see cwm

I've often used Odin PC to flash new ROM's, for example Stock LT4 and Stock LT5, no problem, no yellow triangle. To avoid it in the future, please explain when and why we get the trouble triangle yellow. Thanks.:good:
you will get a yellow triangle if you flash anything else that stock roms using PC odin. you will also get an increased counter. nothing to worry if you are out of warranty though
