Stuck at "touch the android to begin"

This concerns my galaxy note n7000. I had a rooted checkrom v4 working on my note. I tried to install criskelorom v2 and got bootloops. I then tried to go back to stock via odin and flashed stock N7000 KL3 ROM which i had earlier used, I had to go to stock because after bootloop even recovery was not working. now after flashing stock i am getting a strange problem of the phone getting stuck at the welcome to gt-n7000 screen . "touch the android to begin" . nothing is happening after touching the android on the screen although i can change the language etc and even the pull down notification is also working but the phone is stuck at the initial stage. I have a nandroid backup of my initial checkrom in my internal sd card but cannot restore it before installing a rom with root and cwm. Kindly help . Thanks.

I'm having the exact problem. I'm hoping we can create a soft brick sticky thread. I walked away from my phone last night because I was getting frustrated.
My attempts to flash stock ROM via Odin resulted in the "not responding" message in windows. I can get to both CWM and download mode, however any ROM flashed via CWM results in the behavior described by the OP. fortunately I have access to another Samsung phone, so I can double check driver installation (although it worked for flashing previously).
I'm continuing a search through the forums to find some alternate methods for unbricking. Hope someone has an idea.
Thanks!

It seems that the stock roms i was trying to flash were nonwipe ones so i flashed xxla3 which is a wipe rom and was able to boot . I then flashed the earlier kl3 rom over this rom because kl3 is rootable. I then rooted and installed cwm booted into recovery and restored my earlier nandroid backup. I think the situation arises because the nonwipe rom was unable to clear the cache , user data etc

Thank you for the information. I had exactly the same problem. What did you use to root KL3 ?

Just wipe both cash and user data, and reboot.

reboot to recovery mode -> mount and storage -> format system, format cache, format data.
and do a factory reset and wipe cache.
problem should be solved cause that's what i did

Help !!! Booting loop problem can't fix ..

I had a working stock firmware until I decided to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793511
First it worked after few application installation and restart, I had booting loop problems, the Samsung Animation at start up then the Samsung Text and stuck in it for ever ..
I used Odin to flash to stock firmware DDKQ7_annson08.tar.md5, previously it worked. I did factory reset and wipe cache, but still the same problem,
I tried flashing for three times but no luck. I did the factory reset and wipe cache both before the flashing and after the flashing but no luck.
Please give me some ideas to fix it.
Whenever I quit the default stock firmware recovery it says Can't mount data partition
E: failed to mount /data invalid argument something like this.

Have you installed it through ClockWorkMod recovery?
The steps needed to follow precisely is:
- Install Stock GB Firmware through Odin (You'll get it from Sammobile)
(It would be helpful if you specified the link where you installed the stock firmware)
- Install CWM recovery through Odin
- Boot into recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats
- Install Zip from SD card
- Again wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats
- Reboot
EDIT: I guess you installed/updated to GB from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551586
If you updated from Froyo to GB with that link, it won't work because the bootloaders are removed from them. In order for Gingerbread/ICS/JB to work you need to have GB bootloader. So search in Sammobile and install stock firmware from there.

download stock fw from yagyagaire.blogspot.com
n then to move further..

Hello camerg,
There can be many indication of the problem that you are facing... It looks like you are from India, so I suggest you to flash this latest official Indian firmware using Odin. Full instructions are at : http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-upgrade-samsung-galaxy-pop-to.html
After flashing the rom, wait till Odin says PASS and then go to recovery and do a data and cache wipe and reboot your handset. Your galaxy mini should boot fine.
If your handset doesn't boot still then, install CWM using Odin and then flash any custom rom using clockwork mod recovery. Now after flashing the rom wait for few minutes and your handset should boot fine.
Good Luck and Happy flashing!

Hey man, how are you doin'?
were you able to flash it using odin and followed all of the steps these guys informing you and the links given to you.
which one, if you are stuck on the Samsung logo and it doesnt wanna go all the way through, you either go and visit the service center or if you know a repair shop, go there and your phone needs JTAGGING. if your phone is stuck on the SAMSUNG logo.
if you can access the stock recovery mode, install the latest CWM, go to the mounts and storage > select format data, cache, system, and SD-ext. this similarly happened to me. i selected the wipe data/factory reset option but it didnt resolve the problem and it is saying something like E: error cant mount yada yada yada.... i wiped them one by one and worked.
your phone wont be needing JTAGGING if you can access the recovery mode of it. it means that your phone's system (Hardware) has no damaged in it, it is your phone's software. do these steps in order for the phone to wipe everything by doing it one by one
give us a reply if this worked.

Hi
Go and flash a stock 2.3.6 ROM from Samfrimware.com using odin after you get pass sign from odin if you get boot loop clear data an cache from recovery and reboot if you get boot loop flash the file that is same to your ROM with Odin from here like if you downloaded gt-s5570 jpkt2 then the jpkt2 PDA file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398797
And partion your SD card to ext4 to be your new data partion and the secondary partion that you must fat if you have a 2gb SD or smaller and if you have 4gb SD or larger select fat32 and the two partions must be primary then pot your SD in the phone and reboot this will make the phone mount the ext4 partion as your phones data partion so if there are a problem with the phones data partion it will make the work again

GT-N7000 won't start. Can go to recovery or download mode

Hi,
i have GT-N7000 with RocketRom v1 and CWM 5.? recovery.
Today i installed ROM manager and clicked on flash CWM recovery (at the time i did not know i shouldnt do that). Phone worked ok. I tried to make phone image/backup but it failed twice.
Phone rebooted but did not go to recovery and i didn't get any new files. So i went to recovery and made backup from there. I rebooted and i had this image files. Then i wiped data and tried to install back this backup. All went fine except somewhere in the midle phone rebooted by itself. Since then phone only boots to the "logo screen". I left it like that for 30minutes and it was still the same. I can go to recovery and download mode but i can not flash rom from recovery. I tried and it starts instaling rom but after few minutes of inactiveity phone reboots. I flashed recovery via ODIN and it is still the same. I also tried to install stock rom but i get error that phone can not read from /sdcard/ROM.
I realy need your help because this is company phone and they will kill me :/
I just tried to install AlianceROM and it started it installed and all it allso sayed that install was sucsessful but still nothing. When i start phone i see Samsung Galaxy logo and nothing more.

[SOLVED] Am I bricked? PLEASE help me :(

Hi guys. I'm quite a noob, but have a good experience on flashing without be bricked (CM9, CM10, Crash, Paranoid...), but I have a problem.
I will explain to you step-by-step what I've done with my Note, so I wish some of you could help me.
1) I was running JB Crash ROM with PhilZ kernel.
2) Some apps got Force Close too often, so I went on Rom Manager and, after a look into the "Fix permissions" description ("It will fix some force closes" or something like that), I decided to give it a try and I tapped on it.
3) After that, my homescreen became unusable, because "TouchWiz Home" got EVERY TIME force closed without reason. Everything else worked fine, so I deciced to boot into CWM recovery to restore a nandroid backup of the same ROM.
4) Instead of tapping "restore", I tapped "backup" (my fault) and it started without possibility of get back. I got something like 200 Mb of free space, so in every case it will never have had success. My Note stucked at this point, so I decided to reboot manually (vol up+home+power) into recovery. Finally I tried to "restore" but I get this message: "ERROR WHILE RESTORING /SYSTEM".
5) I tried to reboot my Note, but it stucks at "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000" screen without going on.
The good news is that it can go without problems into recovery and into download mode. What can I do? Flashing from CWM, for example, CM9 can fix this?
Please help me thanks!

1. Boot into CWM
2. Wipe data, dalvik and cache
3. Format system
4. Reflash your ROM
Don't use rom manager it's not compatible ....

After formatting /system, can I try to restore my nandroid backup? Or I have to necessary reflash my ROM? In that case, it's the same thing make it via CWM or via ODIN PC? I'm still on PhilZ recovery, which is safe I guess!
Anyway, thanks for your help

Via CWM or Odin, depends if you have your rom in the zip or the md5.tar format.
I would reflash to be clean. It's a bit more work in restoring your apps and data
afterwards, but at least you don't restore any messed up files.

if you can still access CMW and Download Mode then you probably are not brick... try fresh install through pc odin.. safe method no need to worry about bricking by fullwiping on unsafe kernel or raising triagle or binary counter whatsoever.. if you wanna play safe then PC ODIN and after that you can root your rom

Thank you guys, now I'm on stock ICS flashed via PC Odin and everything works fine I knew I was 99% not-bricked (still recovery and download mode avaiable), but I was a little scared too.
Thank you again!

glad you solved it.. :good:

Should I throw the phone away?

Okay. I'm gonna keep it short.
Model: z3c (d5803)
Used FlashTool for mac and tried to flash a new firmware. Don't know why but things went from and the phone started to bootloop.
I managed with the help of FlashTool to get CWM working. However, when I download a ROM such as for example this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/d5803-23-2-1-62-slim-t3127115 and try to install the zip from within CWM, I don't get an error message but it doesn't seem like nothing is happening.
When I then clear the cache and reboot the phone, it just get stuck at the sony text screen.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

You are struck on Sony Logo, that means your phone don't have ROM to boot up. Make a clean flash of your ROM.zip
1. Enter into recovery
2. Wipe (data+system+cache+dalvic cache)
3. Install ROM.zip
4. Wipe cache + Dalvic cache
5. Reboot
Note: .ftf could not be flashed through recovery
If something goes wrong, let me know.
