[Q] Messed up firmware update - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy Note with 2.3.x (bought from O2 Germany). After it dusted for some months due to broken USB port, I replaced it today and ran the OTA firmware upgrade. Now the phone is stuck on the logo screen.
I have tried to install cwm recovery CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.3-CWM5.zip without knowing that I'd need to install the proper version according to the kernel... well, no way to find out which kernel / os actually runs on the thing, and I can't enter recovery mode, only odin-mode.
Can I somehow dump the userdata or safely upgrade to some stock firmware *without* losing internal data? I dont have backup :/
Thanks

Download a stock rom and install it with PC Odin on your device in download mode.
Pray.
Tell us if you stuck at "factoryfs.img"
Stop praying.
Start cursing.

Flashed N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1_N7000XXLB2, did not get stuck at factoryfs.img (flash went OK), but now stuck with a glowing SAMSUNG logo.
EDIT: I should be more patient. Phone is back and the data are still there

You are lucky you didn't brick.

SGS Semi-Brick , Help would be appreciated !!!

Hello buddies,
I was using my DarkyModded SGS i9K and all of a sudden my phone's lock screen got freezed and i tried it shutting down but i wont recognize ,then i had removed my battery and rebooted it.Now the problem comes !!
It wont Reboot i.e It's stuck on Galaxy S -powered by Darky ROM screen !
i tried with odin to reflash it back to stock,Reinstall Darkymod, Stock Froyo but no luck!!
but it booted into Stock 2.3.x and was booting very very slow @ 1FPS of sgs animation ,so i accessed the recovery but it was also too slow even it was taking the input after a sec , i wiped it and still no booting up and one more thing my phone displayed once the BSOD logo and now my sgs can go into download mode also but cant reboot after flashing with odin ,ezodin!!
I would be grateful if anybody snapped me out of this crap !
Thankyou!
If you can get into download mode, then flash stock with Odin, 2.2 is a good option, was for me anyway. Hope this helps.
Which odin roms have you tried?
knowledge is Power. Guard it well.

EZodin 2.2 (Preroot+CWM3),Odin used for DarkyROM,Odin for Gingerbread ROM!
still no luck in booting !!
If you can get recovery, go to mount and storage then format everything. Then flash bootloader with ezboot and after that a stock rom with odin. It's just a try...maybe you're luck and it works

When flashing with Odin have you done a repartition?
Yep!
tried all possible ways!
:/
Re-format system, boot into recovery and go...mounts and storage-format system. Im no expert and please do this with caution and at your own risk. After format you will need to flash to 2.2 or something safe.
Already tried it says errors can't be formatted unable to unmount "/dbdata"!!
:/
please help me!!

1st of all buy a jig, it will give you download mode and reset the counters. Have you maybe got a corrupt internal sd card ? See when this happened to me I flashed stock via Odin, then I rooted and got clockwork recovery and formated ststem, then a custom rom. Are you seeing recovery and download mode, or are you seeing a pc and triangle with a cross.

Umm..so, if i get Odin 2.2 official then can i fix up my bootloader bootloop problem?
Yeah it helped me out, also pit files caused me problems in the past, my advice is get Odin v1.82 and froyo 2.2. Try it without the pit, just use Pda Phone and CSC. If it doesnt work try with the pit. Make sure the files are in correct boxes. Let me know friend

help please! bricked my Gnote

i think i have bricked my phone...i flashed speedmod kernel in the morning and in the evening i flashed s3 launcher..the phone booted fine..but after a reboot..the phone goes black after the samsung logo..i am able to go into download mode..please help..
If you can get into download, then flash a stock rom using Odin and see if this gets you up and running. Then try again.

Don't worry, if you did nothing else other than what you posted, it is just a soft brick.
Flash stock firmware with PC Odin.
I flash Cyanogen Mod in the morning, Gingerbread in the afternoon, mess up with it and flash ICS in the evening and just get a soft brick just stay on safe kernel, you'll be fine.

Don't mess up with boot loaders, repartition and PIT unless you really have to.
If you are on gingerbread, boot into recovery and factory reset.
It seems that you have soft brick.

[Q] Can I flash efs backup with ODIN?

Hi people!
My phone is bricked and I found a backup of my efs (efs.rfs), but I can't flash because I only get crash in ODIN.
What can I do? What's wrong with ODIN?
Best Regards,
Cristian Silaghi
Have you done a nandroid backup? And also can you access to CWM? If yes try to erase everything.
And for odin do you used download mode? Try to unzip the stock rom and put it correctly in program then use download mode, connect your phone and let's start till it finish.
If everything don't work, go to S.A.V and say you don't know what happen'd to your if your warranty is safe.

No, I didn't done a nandroid backup.
It's just flickering when I boot up and when I access CWM.
Yes, I used download mode.
Do I need a special archiving mode for ODIN?
Go to cwm, wipe everything and then flash a new rom like dreamw or another rom. And then when flash is finish wipe everything again.

I can't access Recovery Mode/CWM. It's flickering the screen. What can I do it's just access Download Mode. There's a chance to make phone work if I flash my original stock firmware (but I can't find on the internet firmware stock from Orange Romania, Froyo version, that version which came with the phone).
Then flash a stock firmware this is the most simple for save your phone

I repeat: I can't find my original stock firmware from Orange Romania. Nobody leaked it...
I tried some "miraculous" firmwares which worked from some users, but I think that firmwares was the original ones which came with those phones.
Contact this user.
U are not clear, if ur phone is bricked nothing can be done.
Of course they are not 100% original firmwares but they work and that is all that is needed.
As u can access download mode just flash a GB stock firmware.

I installed "Galaxy Ace Unlock".
The screen is flickering when I start the phone and when I access CWM/Recovery Mode.
Only thing what works is Download Mode (without flickering).
ODIN just crashes (Galaxy Ace Unlock made a backup, but that backup cannot be flashed in ODIN, at least in my case) when I try to flash EFS.
Maybe ODIN doesn't support of flashing EFS backup in GT-S5570... Can anybody confirm that I'm wrong?
Galaxy ace unlock? Did i miss something? I tought you cant flash ace things on mini. However, i got the stock rom here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zx83r9p30zqxd6r
Its stock 2.3.4 for galaxy mini.

This is a tutorial i helped someone else with:
I think you already got the files, in case not download them again.
--WARNING-- Your phone must be charged to 90% or more, to prevent flash failure.
okay, put your phone in download mode. (power button, home button, and volume down button at same time) connect it to usb, and start odin.
Select ops file,
than select the boot file, named: APBOOT_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
Select Phone file: MODEM_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02.tar.md5
The PDA file: CODE_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
and as last the CSC file: CSC_S5570SERKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
--MAKE SURE THIS IS RIGHT, AND ELSE YOUR PHONE CAN BE FATAL BRICKED!!!--
okay, all good?
right. click start.
wait till your phone reboots,
THEN, remove your usb cable.
and then the last part: Have fun!

/efs backup can help you only when your IMEI gets corrupted and you don't have gsm network. That means you can boot Android, but you will have problems with baseband.
You have another type of problem, right now efs can't help you, you must boot into system first.
domini99, tried already to do that. Without success

domcale, the app "Galaxy Ace Unlock" made a backup of /dev/block/stl5 (called "stl5.rfs") which I found on memory card.
If I can't boot up in system/CWM/Recovery and I can enter in Download Mode, what this means?
Can't enter recovery? Dunno why you can't, but if you can enter download mode, then you can flash stock rom using Odin

Still problem with booting
I have tried to flash many different firmwares. ODIN says green but the phone does not boot. Just the first logo or Samsung with some animation.. than it gets stuck there. ADB does not work then either.
I have tried to root and wipe data with different ODIN, but nothing helped. TWRP is not present on "download mode" either..
On ODIN3 v3.07 I see there there is a tickbox for "NAND ERASE ALL" but when I have it checked it fails or hands on erase state.
Could you please help me what I can do next?
I would like to have complete firmware and root and install TWRP etc. but I need to get booting up ok. I have already 15 on "custome binory download"

Idk, i downloaded it and installed with CWM 6.0.2.8. I havent had any error or warning.
If you can access the Download Mode flash the stock firmware.. mine can't even acces the Download Mode even with USBJig, it still shows a white line..
he had a soft brick, you had a hard brick.. take it to the service center
This should be posted in Q n A not in Android Development.
then report it...posting there is waste of time...since most or all of mini 2 users are here...
