[Q] Cant install Stunner 5.0, Still have Root

Arrrgg I though I would do a super clean install so I booted into recovery CWM-Based recovery v5.0.2.7. I was on Stunner 4.5
I did a wipe data/factory reset. Wipe cache partition,wiped dalvik cache, wiped battery stats, wiped fix permissions. Went to Mounts and storage> format cache, format system. Froze on format system. Rebooted into recovery. Wiped all of the above again and also did a format sd card and format emmc card.
Went to mounts and storage in recovery and chose mount usb storage> got error> E: Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file) so I booted the phone normally. Starts up ICS fine. I try to connect phone with usb and transfer stunner 5.0 onto either sd card and windows hangs on transfer. So I turned off the phone, took my external sd card out, formatted it in windows (fat32) put it back in the note, and boot into recovery. Chose install from zip. CWM Recovery see's the stunner 5.0 zip file on my external card. I choose the zip and it hangs on "installing update".The install bar never fills up.
I was able to get back into my install of stunner 4.5, I still have root and I have mobile odin pro installed. How can I fix this so I can flash stunner 5.0? You know, before I was an idiot and formatted /system? Also, if I try to connect my note while in ICS, and transfer files to the sd card, it just hangs there on "discovering items". Like if it cant see the internal or external sd cards anymore.

I have the same problem but I was on Stunner 4.2. I am now in the CWM recovery and it can't flash anything nor restore backup since there are not in the internal storage and it doesn't want to mount USB storage. Is Odin PC a good solution ? And which file do I need to flash ?

yes, please flash back to gb stock
root + cwm kernel
flash ics repack
flash stunner 5.0 ( read clean installation steps in post 4 )

Working Solution as suggested
androidindian is correct.
go back to stock and root+cwm kernel.

Ok, can I flash any GB stock rom? I currently have N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1_DBT.zip ...and should I do it through CWM recovery or from Mobile Odin? If I do it from mobile odin I can keep root on the stock GB rom I have right? What do you suggest?
Edit: And you're talking about flashing I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK after Im on GB stock with root right? Just want to be clear.

I have succeeded in flashing Stunner 5.0.
I have just returned back to ICS Repack LC1 thanks to Odin PC and I flashed Stunner with CWM recovery after wiping data, cache and Dalvik cache.

What settings in Odin PC did you use to flash the LP1 repack?

In PDA, I put the ICS Repack LC1.tar
I ticked Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and that's it. The phone was still rooted after that.

Ok but what about the phone did you connect with usb while it was booted into ICS or did you boot into recovery then use odin pc, or what? Every time I connect my phone to usb while in ics, windows 7 says I should scan my sd cards because they have errors. Thanks!
Edit: I know Im supposed to be in recovery to use PC odin but everytime I connect the usb cable windows 7 says USB device not recognized. So then Odin PC cant see my phone.

Yeah the bad thing is that my phone wont connect to my pc when im in cwm recovery so that means that Odin (PC) doesnt see my phone. Guess I will try to flash the LP1 .tar using mobile odin?
Edit: Nevermind I had to be in DOWNLOAD mode not CWM recovery mode. I now flashed LP1 repack using Odin (PC). Thanks!

Help! Meday!! Phone Reboots into cwm

Hi All,
I am in desperate need of help.
I have a nexus s. rooted, with cyanogenmod kernel and slimbean rom.
My friend has a galaxy s1 that had unrooted froyo.
A friend of his rooted it, and put gingerbread on it. I wanted to put slimbean on it for him.
I did so.
Except, that his mobile network wouldnt connect.
I googled, and found that this could be because the kernel is not compatible with the rom.
So I downloaded cyanogenmod kernel and flashed.
But this didnt work, because I think the download was corrupted or something.
I tried to re boot into clockwork, but it just got stock on the first loading screen.
Since then I have tried everything and have been googling for hours... I dont know what to do. I have tried so many different things.
Please can some guru help me figure out what to do?
My friend is pissed as hell at me, I told him it will be painless quick and easy. Thats how it was for me and i assumed same for him.
PLEASE!! I need HELP!! :'(
Edit: I reflashed semaphore and it now goes into cwm. But now when I flash the rom and reboot it, it just reboots automatically into cwm again. Anyone know where to go from here?

It appears to be a bootloop. That means flashing messed with boot partition and you have to reflash boot. Is this phone i9000 or i9001?
Search for similar topics like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590747
If you can get to CWM or download mode nothing bad happend - you can repair everything, however it would be wise if you had backup of previous, working ROM

Calm down its fixable first you try to fix it without Odin by
- flashing slim bean again don't forget full wipe flash i9000.zip twice the first time it will reboot half way through at least it did for me
-then pull out the battery and boot into cwm
- flash both slim bean files
- this should get the phone starting again after that to get network working flash this file in cwm http://www.mediafire.com/?fbgxblhbip7bkuv it should get network running credit goes to pwneman for that
Let me know how it goes

Try to format your sdcard in fat32 filesystem (through Windows/CWM or any other various ways if this won't work)
Also try other sdcard...
If formatting card doesn't fix the problem try to reflash CWM via Odin in Download mode.

ok i did a hard reset and left batt out for a good few min and got the sdcard back again.
i followed the steps u said latrop and it didnt fix it... still booted back into cwm...
since i now have the sdcard back i am making a backup zip file of it just in case lol

@divibyzero
i followed that post but it didnt fix the problem

OK you will have to flash with Odin I'll get back to you with instructions

Wait, before you odin flash:
Let me get this straight, your rom .zip is on your external sd card? it has to be in your internal sd card.
From the recovery main menu, go to mounts & storage. From there, plug in your phone to your computer and select "Mount internal USB storage."
You'll be able to then copy the rom file into your internal sd card. While you're at it, I'd recommend X-Bean, as it's currently faster and more stable than SlimBean. Then, unmount your phone and return to the recovery menu and select install zip and choose the file you've just copied.
Please let me know how it goes.

@kngroo
thats what i did.. ive flashed tons of roms and kernels before on my nexus s...
its this galaxy s 1 that isnt working for some reason... it was meant to be a quick and painless proceedure which has turned into a nightmare
gonna probably have to format the sdcard now :*(

Hi All,
I wanna give a SERIOUS thank you to latrop.
This guy is a freaking legend. He just sat with me for almost 2 hours helping me sort out the phone. We did almost everything you can think of and then some... But ultimately it was latrops great experience and knowledge that helped save my ass here...
Phone is running full on slimbean rom with great reception etc.
Latrop... you are a legend!!!

Just wipe/factory reset and wipe cache
its work for me and maybe it would work with you too

[Q] Flash problem

Hello,
I just ran through format on data, sdcard, preload, cache, etc and noticed that CMW do not have "Mount USB". Long time ago when i flashed roms on another phone i just went inside and mounted the storage from there. Thou back then i had a SD card.
Anyhow, my question is:
Is there any other way to flash Paranoid into the phone without having the ZIP on the phone? Like using Odin to flash the rom from the computer through download mode instead?
I got CF Autoroot + CWM installed.
Thanks in advance

No you need to install ROMs from internal storage or SD card.
However there is 1 thing.........IF YOU HAVE I9305 DO NOT FLASH PARANOID ANDROID!!!!
This is intended for i9300, you will brick your phone.
Only flash ROMs from the i9305 section.

[q] galaxy note froze during a jelly bean upgrade. Internal memory corrupt. Bricked?

hey guys
my sister was attempting to flash a jelly bean rom on her galaxy note which was running a stock ICS rom at the time and it froze during the process it froze.
it now shows a yellow triangle and refuses to boot.
i attempted booting into recovery and flashing a new rom.
i tried to do a full wipe first, but the phone freezes. i booted into recovery mode again and cleared the cache. however when i tried to wipe the davlik cache, i got an error message but it proceeded anyway.
when i try to go ahead and flash the new rom it fails.
i suspect the internal memory is corrupt. what should I do?

You might be able to repartition the device with Odin, you will have to wait for a more experienced member of XDA though, I don't know all the steps to repartition the device andI wouldn't like to get your Note in worse condition. But even after repartitioning you will only be able to run slim ROM's - such as slim bean.

Thanks for the help. I'll try repartitioning. I don't know how so I'll google it. But even stock roms wouldn't run? and what's a slim rom?

Basically a very lightweight ROM. Slim Bean is only about 95MB + 25MB for the google apps which you have to flash too.
Here is a link to the ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060391
You might also be able to run slim versions of TouchWiz (that is the what you get from Samsung). SlimWizz is about 187MB but that will probably be too much.

That may be a softbrick "only". Are you able to get into Download mode? (Volume Down + Home + Power button) If so, you'll be able to flash an official ROM with PC Odin.
Out of curiosity, what procedure did you follow to flash your Jelly Bean ROM? Directly from the stock ICS recovery?

sorry for the late reply. i do not know how my sister tried to flash the jelly bean rom. there have been some interesting developments. i obtained a kernel which has enabled me to boot into recovery mode. the problem now is that the note recognises my internal sd as an external sd and vice versa! any help?

I guess you have flashed the Speedmod kernel/recovery. Then internal (emmc) and external (micro SDcard) are swapped (that's "normal"). So formatting emmc will format the external SD card and formatting external sd-card will format the internal storage. You just need to be aware of this (if you fear you might lose your data in your SD card, simply remove it from the phone before wiping).
Do a full wipe and then follow the procedure detailed in the thread of the ROM you want to flash. Or if you don't know what to do, just get into Download mode as I explained above and flash an official TouchWiz ROM through Odin PC (you can check Dr Ketan's thread here: everything is nicely detailed. Don't forget to hit the Thanks button on his first post as he's really helpful with people).

That sucks. It seems you've been a victim of the emmc_CAP_ERASE bug. It's a shame you don't remember how you came to this. Anyway, one of the best solutions in this situation is to send your Note to the service center. The problem here is you have that yellow triangle which will void your warranty (if you still have one). Unless someone has a better idea, I think you have 3 possibilities:
1) Use the PIT file method. That will partition your internal storage card. Don't hesitate to ask questions in the thread if you need. You'll find people to help you.
2) Use a JIG USB key to remove the triangle before sending your device to the service center for repair. You'll find one for a few euros on eBay.
3) Try the JTAG.
To be honest, I haven't tried any of these methods as I've always been careful when flashing stuff. Good luck!

I tried this and it worked! I repartitioned the internal memory and flashed a custom rom. I'm now running Cyanogenmod 10.1.
HOWEVER, the phone freezes randomly and sometimes would even be unable to boot into recovery mode so i have to start the whole process again. Any thoughts

Im a total novice when it comes to rooting. i did manage to root my N7000, but after a few hours my phone became quite muggy...i rebooted it and on reboot it said "upgrading".
Since then it has been unusable, i did the volume up/home/power button and tried a wipe data....phone still wont respond well. keyboard doesn't work, cant get a signal, and its generally so groggy, its pretty much unusable. i managed a factory reset with phone switched on, still no better.
any help would be massively appriciated
