[Q] help. Modem and kernel won't change!

Hi. I was running CM7 fine and then flashed MIUI last night and now i can't change the kernel or modem no matter how many times i try and flash in clockwork or clear caches or factory reset. I've lost cell network completely. Wifi works interestingly. Any ideas?

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this so I can actually flash new modems and krnels? They show as successfully flashing in CWM but About Phone doesnt change!
Would love to avoid going to sto ck via Odin if I can.

what modem and kernel are you trying to flash. you need the update .zip to be designed for gingerbread, different scripting for gb. so the kernel shouldn't be a problem unless you are trying to revert to 2.2.
im not sure if gingerbread is weird but maybe you can extract the zimage and modem.bin you are trying to flash and archive them in .tar files and odin flash. as long as you are not flashing anything with boot.bin or sbl.bin it shouldn't break the ability to odin back to stock.

A word of caution: If u get on GB kernel, and go to recovery, and try to use these kernel zips to flash back, they won't work. I realized this the hard way last night.

if you read any cm7 or other gingerbread thread they say you need 3 button recovery/download. this is one reason why! i think there should be a generic froyo kernel in the proper type of update file to revert. but maybe they are trying to scare away newbs till they complete cm7 or atleast have a release candidate.

Sorted in the end.
I just formatted every partition in Mounts and Storage first before a reflash.

For flashing Stock ROM use PC Odin. Not CWM..

try flashing with odin only the PIT file with repartition ticked
then reset file on odin
now factory setting shuld flashing o.k
post resaults

thanks for the reply, ive tried to flash the PIT file "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4" with & without checking the re-partition, after that the same thing when I try to flash the stock ROM (PC Odin) : fails to write factoryfs.img.
Just to make things clear when I flash a stock rom i load it in BOOTLOADER anwhen i flash the kernel only i load it in PDA

Please before flashing any ROM read all instruction mentioned in thread.
And if you flashing via PC Odin, Select .md5 file in PDA Tab. not in boot loader.

You shouldnt be putting anything in bootloader ideally....
Try and get a one file tar that you put into pda.

I tried the PDA ... same thing
I dont want to confuse u guys with me but i have a feeling that something is wrong
with the internal storage ?

Thanks All for trying to help
Succeeded
really thank u all for the help, as I was doubting in my last post about the internal memory, i think the problem was from the first PTT file "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit" but just know i was googlin on ptt files i found this file "Q1_20110914_16GB.pit" so after using this PTT with the re-partition checked i flashed the stock rom Successfully !!
Just to let you know how fool i was : my note counted 16 flashes :

still stuck in factoryfs.img
Hello.
I have Galaxy Note.
I used to have TeamRocket v1.5 installed and it would work ok.
I wanted to try a new OS so I tried to erase and wipe the data on the sd card. it took a long time so i thought it got stuck and i restarted my phone, since then I cannot use odin to install full roms.
what I am able to do is to install CF-root CWM5 kernel and after that to copy the AbyssNote v4.2 kernel zip and to install from that CWM. that will provide CWM version 5.8.1.5
I tried using Odin3 versions 1.87 and 1.85.
I tried installing on two different windows 7 computers.
i was able to install from these same computers these same roms before.
I tried install several versions of stock roms and the Chinese rom
examples:
N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_AUT
N7000XXLA3_N7000OXALA3_OXA
N7000XXLP1_N7000OXALP1_OXA
i tried installing versions that contain only the PDA
and versions with PDA,PHONE,CSC and UMS.
I tried using the Q1 pit file: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
I also tried to re-partition the SD card using CWM but everything provides the same results. whenever I try to install any rom it stuck at factoryfs.img
it seems like if i'll find a stock rom that can be installed with cwm it would work, but i didn't find anything like that so far.
so no matter what I do i get the same results.
please help!
thanks

Have u flashed Angelom's Kernel V1.1 or V1.2?? or TRR V1.6??

just to confirm :
-is it stuck on factoryfs ? or u mean when it reaches factoryfs just terminating and giving FAIL in Red ?

updates
Hello.
Odin3 v1.87 doesn't terminate on factory.fs it just doesn't show any progress
anymore when it reaches factoryfs.img
I tries installing Angelom's Kernel v1.1 (I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK) but with same results. here it tries to install factoryfs.img first (not starting with cache like the stock roms) but the results are the same. no progress from there.
regarding trr 1.6. I assume you meant team rocker group. The latest version of their Rom for galaxy note that i could find is 1.5. and the docs on the forum says that it should be installed on top 1.4 and it should be installed on top of a the ICS rom. i don't have anything installed so I don't think just unpacking this rom with CWM while having a clean hard drive would work. (i may be wrong)
gonna try it anyways.. so I installed teamrocket v1.4 zip from external sd card using cwm recovery (install zip), wiped the data and restart.
welp it just shows the boot logo with a yellow triangle and that's it. does not work.

I resolved the issue by sending my phone to the cellular company. They fix it and I didn't need to pay anything. I was able to properly root my phone. Thanks

i can't flash any Rom!

Bricked
Mine if bricked. Nothing has worked. Question for you all. Bought this from a over seas company as I am in the United States. Was told that we would have to ship to Samsung in the UK. We went to the samsung.com/uk site and got the phone registered and it tells us to contact the service center. They will not accept the phone. We were honest with them and told them we would pay but after 5 calls between Samsung and Intercity the repair people they simply will not take the phone.
This is frustrating as I spent $750 bucks for a phone and can't even pay to get it fixed. I knew the risk of flashing but it's hard to believe it happened we've been doing it for yours. I'm not sure if my loyalty to Samsung will continue.

[Q] Bootlooping Problem in Galaxy S I9000

Hi,
I have a problem when trying to flash my galaxy s and install ICS Dark night v5.5.
When I try updating the kernel using ODIN, my phone gets into bootloop.
It is a froyo installed phone. Also, I am unable to get recovery mode. It enters download mode though.
Can anyone help me out in this??? I am very new to this stuff... I am a beginner...
Held up in this for a couple of weeks.....
Thanks,
Sridhar

If you can boot into download mode, use ODIN to flash a stable rom, then get CWM and your back to where you were, hold off the nightly builds or post in the Cyanogenmod official thread or forums.

Thanks a lot... That did work.. But now i have got Mobile network not available error after flashing.....

Probably best to mention which version of software you are using and the source...
Best option is to flash stock gingerbread version via Odin.
www . theandroidsoul . com / xxjvu /
sorry can't put correct address in yet dont have enough thanks...

it would be better to update to any stable stock rom, go to sammobile.com...
i suggest you update to the latest firmware or ics stock rom for i9000 via odin then root that firmware you have chosen(CF-ROOT) and then update the custom rom darknight v5.5 via cwm...

I think you need gingerbread bootloaders for ics.. You were on Froyo, so it won't work.. You'll need to install a stock gingerbread rom with the pit file and repartition.. After that you can try an ics rom..

I found this thread. After attempting to get CM9 onto my S it wouldn't boot so I used odin to install a stock from from sammobile but now the phone just boot loops.
Could someone please help me.
More info:
After the odin flash - I get a screen like the recovery menu saying things such as "E:Format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10" and things of a similar nature - will have to see what the others say.
Any ideas?

You probably flashed a rom without bootloaders. Try flashing a 3 file rom from here and repartition with 512 pit.

[SOLVED] downgrade from stock ics to stock gb -> stuck at bootscreen

hello,
i bought a fresh n7000 with stock ics firmware on it. i wanted to go to paranoid android.
1. i rooted the stock ics
2. found out that i need gingerbread to flash custom firmware
3. installed sdk, driver on ubuntu
4. installed heimdall, as its the odin for linux
5. downloaded N7000XXKJ4 from samfirmware.com
6. extracted it to have the single images to flash with heimdall 1.3.1
7. booted in download mode, attached the phone to usb and hitted detect device in heimdall
8. device was found
9. started flashing, first without repartition
boot.img as BOOT
param.lfs as PARAM
factoryfs.img as FACTORYFS
cache.img as CACHE
zImage as KERNEL
Sbl.bin as SBL1
hidden.img as HIDDEN
modem.bin as MODEM
10. flashing went all thru, the phones screen showed the progress also
11. phone did a reboot, after all flashing was done
12. stuck at bootscreen
13. found in the web that its normal and i should do a factory reset in the recovery (its not cwm)
14. stuck at bootscreen
15. repeated step 9. with pit file and repartition
16. same bootscreen
i know the phone is not dead, just not booting, but i have absolutely no chance to find out what to flash exactly and how to do it.

hm could i now just flash the abyss kernel and cwm recovery.bin or so and install a custom rom?

if you are now on GB then flash a kernel, either in CWM or odin and do a full factory reset along with all caches and dalvik cache.
i wouldnt recommend flashing a custom ROM until the stock rom is booting, you dont want to be covering up any underlying errors.
Also, Why did you re-partition ? Did you re-partition using a 3 file firmware (PDA, CSC, Phone) or just a single firmware - PDA ??

hm i dont know on what i am, because it doesnt boot.
i thought i eventually had to repartition because i changed from 4.0 to 2.3.5 ... i used the n7000 16gb pit file.

Well what did ODIN say ? Did it complete or did it get stuck and fail ?
You can flash a kernel in ODIN which should allow you to enter CWM and do a wipe, However you might get issues if you flash a GB kernel over ICS Firmware and vice versa

heimdall ran complete through, said its all fine and the phone rebooted at the end of flashing as it should be. seems all perfect.
the issues i get can not be worse?! if i would now flash a gb kernel, even if there is ics under the hood, the phone would also just not boot?!

I dont know really, Ive never tried, nor do i intend to lol.
But i imagine GB is now on your phone considering it all passed without fail So i guess you should try to flash a kernel and then do a full wipe and see if it boots then
chances are there are some ICS files left on the system preventing it from booting.

and following the guides on xda im not allowed to flash the other kernel with heimdall/odin.
i should use the cf-kernel for my firmware and flash it with the bat-script, is this correct?

Just flash this in ODIN and you will be fine
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/GingerBread-speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-12-Odin.tar
boot into recovery, do a factory reset, then clear cache partition, then go to advanced and clear dalvik cache, then reboot
then report back

ok. now i have the yellow triangle. i wanted to avoid this.
BUT it looks very promising. clockword mod is starting. did the wipes. and when i reboot it boots directly in cwm. i think this is good atm.
i have to leave at work now. tomorrow morning i can flash a rom with cwm right? and if i flash an ics rom, then i have to flash a ics kernel, too?!

Dont worry about the triangle, Use this app to remove it https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/eu.chainfire.triangleaway-47fe5bbd55070e4eddce741c0ef13110.apk
Like i said above, Make sure the phone boots before flashing any other ROMs. If you want to upgrade to ICS you will need to flash ICS in ODIN, Unless you want to use a CM9 / AOSP based ROM like Paranoid Android, In this case you will stay on GB, Just full wipe and flash ROM in CWM
EDIT: I mis read your post, Your phone is not booting, But only booting into CWM, In this case, try a custom ROM, Nothing to extreme just a simple GB ROM and see if it boots properly then

thanks so much!
flashed checkrom notehd via cwm. boots clean and nicely up.
i flashed/rooted some phones before htc hero, hd2, zte blade. but none of them, even the hd2 with its windows conversion was as unclear as the n7000. i think because in former times the developers wherent as many as actual, and there were much less guides/tuts/howtos which made an user less unsecure.
nevertheless, your support is gorgeous: friendly, fast and ultracompetent.
edit: can i change the title in solved anyhow?

do i need to flash with some pit file coz of nand write?

Original pit file from Dr Ketan thread in Android original Dev section. But I would say change kernel using recovery mode and try flashing any custom rom again

My advice its before messing up your device.. Start fresh.. Flash GB stock with Odin.. And start from there
Tapatalking on my n7000

Done....downloaded a pit file and flashed it with stock rom...done....

now the problem is that though i flashed with odin with a pit file and i got to get the stock rom
but during flash odin showed Can't open the serial(COM) port two times and passed the flashing
now the mobile is too slow and hanging a lot....any solutions for this?

you should install a kernel with CWM and scan the emmc with HG42's partition scanners.
