Help please My phone is dead - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I was on the Vodafone release of the JB update, the phone became real laggy etc so I decided to see if there were any more releases of the JB update, I found Australia's LT6 so I switched off my phone.
I connected to ODIN on my laptop and put the MD5 file into the PDA and clicked start, It failed, so I tried again from scratch and it failed once more, Since then I have tried flashing A copy of the old Gingerbread stock rom. Still no avail.
I can access Download mode and when I enter recovery mode I get firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in Kies.
Kies does not register the device yet my laptop makes the sound when I connect it.
What do I do to save my phone!
Info; My phone is not rooted or on a custom ROM All stock.

Flash the CM9 safe kernel in download mode using ODIN PC : here http://www.mediafire.com/?uhiges9y3zhs8oi and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1068597&d=1337343150
Then, you will be able to boot into recovery by pressing Vol Up + Home + Power.
Recovery will give you access to USB mode, put a stock ROM or Small Pristine XXLT5 on your SD Card (internal or external).
Do a factory reset, wipe /system/, flash the ROM, and you will be good to go ! :good:

Why do I need to use a CM9 Kernal?
I don't want to have root.

Where do I put the Kernal in Odin?

First of all you should tell as exactly what error you got when installing XXLT5 in PC Odin.
Maybe make a snapshot of PC Odin window with the error.
Not start more actions with other ways to install a Rom before it's clear what happened. If you do not know it might get even uglier.

[Q] installing Gingerbread from stock 2.1

Hi team!
Im new to this, may i ask..
Am i able to go from stock 2.1 straight to 2.3.3 by following this guide....
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-xxjvo-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-rom-on-your-galaxy-s/
Or will i encounter problems? do i need to go to 2.2 first?
Has anyone got the skills to give me some answers? if so thanks!
I didn't look at that guide in particular, it's like when someone does your homework for you... but it is possible to go straight to 2.3.. If your worried just go to 2.2 first...
that is all
Yeah, sure! With Odin, you can goo from any version to any version back and forth - a lot of people even use stock 2.1 to get a clean install before flashing something new, so don't worry. Just use a stock JVO version with bootloaders (there should be "Sbl" in the name of the PDA file). I alway flash stock ROMs with pit file and checked repartition - just 1) get in Odin and mount PDA (with bootloaders), Phone and CSC,also mount the pit file and check repartition, 2) turn off you phone and after that get in Download mode (Volume up+menu button+Power button), 3) connect the phone to your pc and hit start button in odin
Do not forget to take out sim card and memory card before flashing

I can only enter Recovery mode

Hi,
I installed a bootloader with Odin And after that I needed to Install a GBOOT with Odin but I can't enter dowload mode I only can enter Recovery mode. What do I need to do ?
I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
What phone do you have?
What recovery version are you running?
How do you get into recovery?
A tad more info would be useful please.
9. Whatever I flash, I end up in Recovery! What should I do?
Flash stock Vibrant bootloaders, then ODIN to stock JFD. You should be good to go here onwards... I only had this issue when I tried changing bootloaders over MIUI/CM7. Couldn't replicate on Samsung ROMs... (AS QUOTED ON THE LINK PAGE)
Thank you for your responds
The recovery mode I run is CWM v 5.0.2.7 .
The thing is Odin can't recognize my phone because I can't enter Downloading mode so I can't flash that.
Hope you can help me further
if you got any rom's stored on your sdcard you could try to flash that and then try to enter download mode, otherwise you could go to "mounts and storage" and mount usb storage there and move over an rom to flash.
Try to flash phone via cwm. Now we have jvz deodexed version on forum. Maybe after it will be ob.

I've tried to flash a rom from my SD card.
@Emek can you explain it more clearly. I don't understand it.
Grtz William !
There is a rom on here you can flash using CWM. On the forum is a JVZ that you can flash without using ODIn, slap that on your sd card, goto recovery and install from sd and hopefully that should fix it
Sorry of being such a noob. What's a JVZ and which one do I need to flash.
Grtz William
I flashed this one Click
And It still doesn't work...
edit: Tried this one as well Click
It still doesn't work. I hope my phone isn't Bricked. Is he ?
They wont work as you need the correct gingerbread bootloaders installed first.
You ned to make or buy a jig then you can get the phone to access download mode again, and then using ODIN 1.83 reflash everything inlcuding the bootloader.
Jig instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Failing that, see if you can buy a jig from ebay
Ok thank you. I ordered yesterday a JIG from ebay.
What do I need to do then. What do I need to flash exactly ... I don't want to screw it up another time. I liked the MIUI rom but he didn't recognize the external SD so that's the reason why I flashed other bootloaders.
So I would like to have MIUI with working SD card.
If the SD card doesn't work I won't to flash the original Android.
Grtz William
I would download and flash this for starters, it contains a bootloader as well make sure you click the bootloader section in ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380402
Then you can flash a custom rom afterwards, but dont change the bootloader once it works!

I bought a JIG so I can get into download mode right now so then I flashed the ROM that Buttwad proposed. But ODIN said the proces of flashing failed and no when I connect my phone to my pc my pc even don't recognize my phone so I can't put anything on my phone. What do I need to do. I am desperate.
u can acces the phone sd in recovery..
Am I blind or have you actually FLASHED a Vibrant bootloader over Galaxy S??
Seems like you have issues with key combinations. Try using the Volume down with power button and see if it could get you to the download mode.
Also, if your device is being detected by the phone, use "adb reboot download" to reboot the phone into download mode.
Here is the situation: I had the MIUI rom on my phone but my phone didn't find my external SD. So i searched a bit on the internet and I found a guy who had the same problem and he said that I needed to flash the Vibrant bootloaders so I did that. But then everytime I started up my phone I came in Recovery mode. I couldn't even acces downoading mode anymore. So first I tried to flash two other roms(This one And this onebut the problem stayed the same. So I bought a JIG and then I tried to put this bootloaderon my phone but Odin said ERROR after a while. So then I tried to flash this one.
But now I can't even enter recovery mode. When I start up my phone I see a pictogram with my phone and the pc with the sign that I can't connect them.
And my computer also don't find my phone anymore so I can't flash anything anymore.
Please Help !
I will give 8 euros to the person who can tell me step by step(easy) what I need to do to make my phone working.

ICS Bad Idea!!!
I wouldnt recommned updating to ICS especially through kies i had my phone stuck at "firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again" for 2 days It was a disaster. So i came across a website called http://androidromupdate.com/2012/09...-firmware-upgrade-official-kiesota-stock-rom/
I then downloaded the the I927UCLH2 ICS 4.0.4 Original Stock ROM using ODIN... FOLLOW DIRECTIONS THROUGH THE SITE NOT KIES!! BUT THE ORIGINAL STOCK ROM!
***After you have successfully completed the stock rom with ODIN***
Get a rom from http://forum.jakar.co/android-hack/1345758298/ Choose the ROM called Bio360 its almost the same Replica of Gingerbread its Version 2.3.5
VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure you put the ZIP FILE (ROM) in your INTERNAL STORAGE NOT THE EXTERNAL!!! (SD CARD SLOT) BIG MISTAKE!!
Go to google and type in "CWM captivate glide new" click the first link beggining with www.theandroidsoul.com........ FOLLOW DIRECTIONS THROUGH THE SITE!
After you have downloaded the Rom (ZIP FILE) and CWM put your phone into Recovery mode by powering off the device. hold power button and the volume down button until you see clockwork recovery, from here you are going to look for install from sd card and look for the zip file/Rom Bio360 and you should be set!
*******THE Bio360 Rom is also Rooted so there is no need to do an extra step************
*** I HOPE THSI HELPS ANY PROBLEMS FEEL FREE TO INBOX ME ANY QUESTIONS*** I WILL TRY MY BEST TO HELP......
Sorry guys wrong post this is for Samsung captivate glide! , my mistake..

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery in Kies and try again
This is for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Sprint SPH-L900) Is the website for the stock rom
rwilco12.com
stock rom: [ROM][ODIN][TAR]SPH-L900 MA7 (MA7 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Stock
Odin 3 v 1.85 (You Can Google and find it)
ok sweet so I have done this successfully. i really believe you should put this on ur first post so people dont have to do searching and can feel at ease.
1. Start ODIN 3v1.85
2. Enter Download Mode
a. Power the phone off.
b. Plug the usb cable into the computer (not the phone)
c. Hold both sides of the volume rocker down (vol up + vol down)
d. While holding those buttons down, insert the usb cable into your phone.
It may take a second or two for the screen to display with a warning. Press the Volume UP key to download a custom ROM.
3. In ODIN, click PDA and select the PDA.tar file you extracted
4. DO NOT check re-partition, Flash Lock, Phone EFS Clear, Phone bootloader update
5. CHECK Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time
6. Click Start
At the end of the process ODIN's first block will show up as YELLOW with the words PASS and your phone will reboot.
Unplug USB from your phone after first boot.
It worked for me perfectly you don't have to F.Reset
Perhaps you should try the Note 2 forums for a more informative response?
I have the same problem with my tmobile galaxy s ii, T989
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again
and whenever I start installing a stock room using Odin 1.85 it force close and the phone stays in the same page saying

Please help!
Tried everything I know and still not working
I tried two computers and everytime I start odin it forces stop
The screen is still in Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again
and I guess this is the download mode because I restarted it with volume up and down and pluged the usb and it turns to this screen
I downloaded odin again to make sure it runs ok and also tried it in my wifes phone and it runs with no problem
It is one of two cases, ether the phone is completely dead or the files I am using to be installed are not the correct ones
I tried the files on this post:

[Q] Need help with Jelly Bean Rom

Hi,
I have Galaxy Note with 4.0.3 rooted already. I tried to installed the Ultimate JB v5.1 from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626
Now I am having a problem. The Philz Touch 3 seems working now, but when I am trying to flash the rom. There is absolutely no progress BAR!
After 5-10 minutes the phone reboot itself. Then the JB rom was not installed. It stuck at a screen displays Installing applications.....
It will be like that forever.
and I can't go back to 4.0.3. I did not backup....
It seems like the OLD ICS is still on my phone but I can not enter the system. It says Installing Applications forever. Then if I connect a usb,
I actually can goto Setting, then I see the phone is still on 4.0.3.
Seems like I only partially wiped out the old ICS? I could not see the internalsd from my PC after connect the USB.
I have also formatted EMMC... am I screwed?
Is there a way to save the phone?
Please help.
Many many thanks
Tony
Are you able to go into download mode? If yes then flash a stock ics through pc odin. This should boot up your phone normally

Thanks for replying, I think I am able to Reboot Download from Philz Touch 3. I will certainly try that.
Currently it seems like I still have old system remained in my phone but partially. That might be why I could not boot.
I will try that option.
Thanks
Tony
Yes, there is; your phone boots so all is still well. Download odin, and put your phone into download mode (volume up + home + power; pressed at tge sane time it will automagically reboot and only when you see the galaxy note icon you release these buttons. Now also download a stock pre-rooted GINGERBREAD rom and glash this rom via odin, there will be 3 things to flash; csc, phone and if I remember corrrectly also modem. Now just let it boot and you will be safe again. Now you can experiment again....

No OS installed after wiping my Internal Storage

inside TWRP i decided to restore my phone back to normal. while doing so i had wiped the dalvik, system, data, cache and accidentally hit internal storage, my fault for not paying attention.
upon hitting reboot, i got a message saying NO OS INSTALLED while trying to reboot inside TWRP. even if i chose system, recovery or download, i get that no OS installed, regardless which path i go..
hopefully my phone is not paper weight, so anything would be great!
so as of now i am screwed. I try going to download mode but again. it said no Os Installed, so Odin is out of the question. unless here is a trick to force the phone to download mode.
now the only tool that i have is TWRP and my external sdcard which said corrupted file and missing md file, when i tried to install a stock rom. if someone can give me advice that would be great!
Thank you for your time reading this, it probably doesnt make sense, please feel free to ask questions. it is 4 am..lol
TY!
1)Which way you used to get into Download Mode? From TWRP options OR by manually Pressing Volume Down+Power+Home Button Simultaneously?(Power Off Device from TWRP Before Trying Hardware Combo To get into Download Mode), I think you should get into Download mode by Hardware Combo And Try Flashing Latest Stock Firmware for your device using Odin(I said latest only, don't try any old stock firmware) I assume your familiar enough with Odin Flashing Process With All Known Pre-Requisites to be downloaded like Latest Odin Version,Latest Samsung Usb Drivers for your device,Latest Stock 6.0.1 or 7.0 Firmware according to Availability and Support etc.
2)One possible solution is to connect your phone to PC(Install Latest Samsung Usb Drivers On PC first) And See if your Internal Storage Seen there to copy any custom rom to be flashed for temporary booting up(If you have enabled Usb Debugging Before fiasco then PC should recognise and Show your Internal Storage)
3)Third solution is also regarding to download mode only(If you able to get into Download Mode by 1st post trick and Unfortunately fails to flash stock firmware using odin Then only try this),Download Samsung Smartswitch On Pc>Connect Device To PC in Download mode>Open Smartswitch>Select Emergency Software Recovery>It will ask you for Model No,Imei,Serial No(Both can be found printed on back panel of phone)>Smartswitch will automatically Recognise,Download and Install latest official Stock Firmware on your device
All set!
i did the 1st method, using the physical keys on the phone. a bit tricky because the phone will never power off, it would restart. But i did manage to get to download mode, flashed Stock rom v6.0 with the full wipe. From there I updated all the way to 7.0, all is well!
Yes i was able to see my phone storage but i was not able to flash at all..
The smart switch did not even recognized my phone but it was a good idea..
now i will go to odin and flash the recovery! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!
