Download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel with redpill touch recovery from here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1362424 .
Now first put this zip on your SD Card before you try to flash anything or restore anything.
Now boot into recovery - Volume up + Home + Power
Choose - install zip from SD Card
Navigate to your Abyss kernel 4.2 zip and flash it
After flashing is complete- go back to the Recovery start menu
Go to advanced > reboot recovery
This will reboot the phone directly to new recovery - Hyperdroid Redpill Recovery
Now go to Wipe Menu and wipe cache, dalvik and do your factory reset
After this start your restore from nandroid backup , or flash any GB rom !

I've done everything up to "After this start your restore from nandroid backup , or flash any GB rom".
When I try to "choose zip from internal card" and choose the beforementioned ROM, I get the message "E:Can't open /emmc/1/GT-N7000..... Installation aborted".
If i try to choose file from external SD card I get "Can't mount /sdcard/".
I've tried flashing Abyssnote 3.9 as per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599229
Still same problem.
Does it have something to do, that the ROM I've downloaded isn't the same as my original ROM? (I mean the letters at the end, like LA4, KL2 and so on. I can't remember my original ones)?
And I don't have any backup.
Can someone help me get back to ANY gingerbread?
Thanks a lot in advance.

I think you should go back to any stock rootable GB ROM using ODIN. Then flash your custom GB ROM over it and then restore your apps using Titanium Backup or any such tool provided you have used the same to back up your apps.
Go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
And download any one of the pre rooted GB ROMs and flash it using Odin
The difference in ROM title does not affect flashing
Had the very same problem. At a welknown site a registred and downloaded a original rom. A rooted rom did not worked with my Note. After that i flashed the Rom with pit file completely. And yes, miricaly it worked! My only problem was that i picked a rom which had no rooting available so i had to downgrade. I downgraded with a rooted rom and finaly i was where i left some 5 hours before, but now with a working device!!
I don't know if I can post after this time, (couldn't get my hands on that phone and check out your advice), but now I've tried it and it works perfectly - thanks!
I was running "TheMIDTeam 1.3" ROM & decided to upgrade to version 1.4 using the so call "safe" method using the "restore" method in CWM. unfortunatly this failed making my phone un bootable but I could still get into "download" mode.
I then thought I'd flash a stock ROM using odin and go from there. I chose the Taiwan N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS ROM. This all went OK & everything seem fine. I then relised this was not the ROM for me as it didn't contain "English Australian" amoungst other things. So I thought, no problem, I'l just flash something else more suitable, but no matter what else I flash with odin I keep getting "Force Close" continually once the phone has booted up. I tried many different ROMS from Gingerbread to ICS & keep getting the "Force Close" error.
I then flashed back the Taiwan ROM & it works fine but I am now stuck with that ROM.
The only difference with the Taiwan ROM that I can see was that it contained not just the PDA file like most ROM's but it had a PIT & BOOTLOADER & PDA & PHONE & CSC files. I think this may be where i've gone wrong. Maybe if I could find the stock international versions of all these files I may be able to flash these & get back to stock & start again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Anyone know where I can get the stock PIT & BOOTLOADER & PDA & PHONE & CSC
files so I can get back to stock?
I was also confused about the pit & bootloader files. I have used N7000XXLC1 open Europe with PC Odin. I have just sellected PDA file and everything went ok. Now I'm on stock GB without any problems
have you already tried to flash any stock rom trough mobile odin?

I have tried flashing 2 stock ICS ROMs & 3 different stock Gingerbread ROMs using PC odin only. They all give me continious "Force Close" error messages after bootup making the phone unusable.
If I flash back the Taiwan ROM all seems OK but I;m stuck with this ROM.
If I were you I would get a working version of the taiwan rom on the phone. Then flash a suitable CF kernel. Push a choice custom rom on your Sd card. And then flas that rom from CWM recovery. Only wiping cache and dalvik cache.
Just go into recovery and wipe all caches and factory reset and it will load fine it did it to me until I wiped all caches kept saying Google frame work has stopped

Well.... for quite obvious reasons I wouldnt recommend doing a factory reset on an official ICS kernel.
Something lile sssssuperbrick comes to mind.
This superbrick stuffs is getting on my tits how many people are wiping on there galaxy note using superbrick kernels and having no problems thousands?? hundreds of thousands??? but 20 people brick there phones and it's like Osama bin laden has created this emmc bug in the kernel to get us all.. We all know the dangers people could brick there phones using safe kernels because people make mistakes and or don't follow instructions

Thanks for the replys.
The Taiwan ROM that works is a ICS ROM, N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS.
I have thought of doing a full wipe via CWM but I'm afarid of the "SuperBrick" issue. In fact I was think maybe there is some coruption in the emmc partition already causing the "Force Close" errors I keep getting

Just clear your caches after each flash back from gb to ics vice versa and it will work fine
Here is your salvation installation
Dear KTM690 :
No need To Panic, here is your solution :
Let's suppose you are on the Stock LPF now :
1- Download the corresponding Rooted Kernel by Chainfire : I got it for you : http://download.chainfire.eu/176/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.6-CWM5.zip
2- Extract it, you will have a tar file, Flash it with PC odin.
3- Reboot, now you are rooted and you have cwm recovery at the same time
4- Download the AbyssKernel V4.2 only : http://www.mediafire.com/?c65mndvpk6ocbaa
5- Put the zip file on your sdcard, don't extract it
6- Choose what ever ICS rom you like, let's say the TMT v1.4 that you wanted.
7- Put the zip file on your Sdcard.don't extract it
8- now shut off your phone, Press the Vol Up, Power and the Home Buttons at the same time, and you will be into cwm recovery mode.
9- Don't wipe anything, and Flash the AbyssKernel v4.2.
10- Don't reboot the phone, still in cwmr, go to advanced and choose reboot recovery.
11- You are now in recovery mode again, but with the Abyss Kernel instead of the rooted LPF one by chainfire.(now you have cwm touch recovery, tap with your finger now)
12- So It is totally safe now : wipe everything : data, cache, go to advanced and wipe dalvick cache, and battery stat, choose also Fix permissions while you are there.
13- choose back to go to the first screen,
Now you have Options, depending on what you have dowloaded as a Rom file...
14- If you want to flash the backup zip file from TMTv1.4 : choose backup and restore, and choose restore from internal sdcard, and look for your downloaded TMT zip file. (It should be clockworkmod/backup/TMT1.4...... Folder), I suppose you already have done it.!
15- If you have dowloaded the flashable TMT zip file, then choose install zip file, and choose file from internal sdcard..
In either cases : Reboot and you are done.
This is the cleanest installation you could have done, just don't skip any step !!!!
If this Helped, The thanks Button is next to you, ....and check my MOD : the 15 toggles in case .....

Good Luck.
Okay just flash whatever ROM you want (even if there are FCs), go into stock recovery (volume up home and power) and wipe data and cache. Reboot. This solved all the FCs for me when I had the same problem. Worth trying!

Thanks for you advise kimifender & everyone else.
I carried this out and now everything is back to normal.
I was just too worried about wiping everything because of the SuperBrick bug.

Hey Guys,
I have this problem where i cant seem to flash to any new roms in CWM with the new roms in zip files on my SD card.
I have tried flashing to new kernels but it doesn't seem to change anything.
The last rom i flashed was Criskelo v7 and i haven't changed because i cant every time i try to flash something new in CWM it seems like it only just starts to do it then freezes and i leave it because it might be working and it always end up rebooting and then i find I'm back on Criskelo v7 as if its a fresh install and it need my google account / full setup as if its new but no new rom.
I have also tried updating CWM with odin it works to update odin but it still cant flash any new roms.
Am i doing something wrong? please if anyone has any idea let me know.
Sorry if this has been covered but i really did try and find similar problems.
Thanks

Flash ANy ROMS
Dr_Rag
if you want to flash any roms using cwm,
1. Flash Safe kernels like Hydracore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863) or Philz Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270).
2. Reboot in recovery
3. Do all 3 wipes (wipe data, wipe cache partition & wipe dalvik cache)
4. Flash romzip
5. Reboot
If you want to flash XXLS7 TW JB Dump Based Roms , then
1. Flash Safe kernels like Hydracore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863) or Philz Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270).
2. Reboot in recovery
3. Do all 3 wipes (wipe data, wipe cache partition & wipe dalvik cache)
4. Format /system & /preload in mount and storage
5. Flash romzip
6. Reboot
BTW what rom you are going to install
I had a similar issue and it was a root issue.
To see if it is the same for you, if you have SuperSU, open it, and press 'Continue' if prompted to update binary. If this fails, your problem is root related, the solution of which is below. Unfortunately I don't know how else to test if you don't have SuperSU or if the update prompt doesn't appear.
Below is how I fixed the problem. It may not work for you, and if it doesn't, it's not my fault.
Also note this method will fix the issue no matter what caused it, and wipes data, so backup what you need. It also assumes your ROM is flashable.
1 Put your ROM anywhere in /storage/sdcard0 on your phone.
2 Go to hotfile.com/dl/155490069/c7932d4/N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_DBT.zip.html on your computer to download N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_DBT.
4 Extract this to produce N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar.md5.
5 Flash this through Odin.
6 After your phone reboots (you can't get into the actual OS so you must do this in the Samsung boot animation), enter recovery.
7 Wipe data and cache.
8 Enter download mode.
9 Go to puu.sh/1q5mJ to download GL_NOTECORE_HYDRACORE_v4-3b_STD.tar.
10 Flash this through Odin.
11 After your phone reboots (you don't need to wait to get into the actual OS - you can do it in the Samsung boot animation), enter recovery.
12 Flash your ROM.
So I got a Galaxy Note running the Ultimate Jelly Bean ROM. In other words, that was the ROM on the phone when I got it.
I wanted to install CM9 on the phone, so I went and grabbed the HydraCore kernel. The phone was already running Philz kernel, as the Recovery indicated.
Now, when I tried to install the new kernel, the update would begin, then nothing would happen. A short while later, the phone would reboot back to the ROM.
I tried this several times.
Next, I tried to wipe the ROM to flash CM9. Again, the phone would stop on the update, then reboot to the Ultimate Jelly Bean ROM.
I even tried the built-in ROM-wipe feature in the Recovery; the same thing happened yet again.
Then I tried to flash the HydraCore kernel through Odin. The flash was successful, and the phone boots up (with this triangle I just learned about), but won't boot the Ultimate ROM.
I can still reach the Recovery, though this time, the phone kinda hangs in the middle of attempted updates.
I am lost on what to do next! Please help!
The phone won't boot because hydracore is not compatible with ultimate rom. Doesn't matter. As you can now get into recovery, and assuming you have the CM9 rom in the phone, go to mounts and storage
Format /system, data, cache, preload
Go back and install zip. Choose the rom and let it install. Try and let know.
i know the question is too idiotic so I'm sorry
now i have a serious problem with my phone, neither WiFi nor Bluetooth would turn on and installing any other ROM via recovery always soft bricks the phone for some reason and i have to restore
I'm currently on novafusion's carbon ROM build 27/10/14 and Baseband I8190XXANI4
i figured maybe flashing stock by odin might solve the problem (if you know another solution please provide)
so on sammobile.com do i just choose the latest firmware there is for the s3 mini or does it have to be the same baseband or sth ? (my country is not listed)
thanks
Hi,
1. Install latest twrp from novafusion by odin.
2. Dl by your phone custom rom and gapps to sd card.
3. Then do full backup your system by twrp on sd card.
4. Go to Wipe in twrp and thick all option WITHOUT External Card and move slider to erase everything.
5. Back to main window, thick Install, change destination to external card and choose file with rom, slide to install. After it, clean cache and dalvik, then reboot and wait.
6. After first configuration, go to recovery and install gapps at least, reboot and thats all.
