[Q] Flashing Kernel

Hi, I have rooted my tab ,no problem. But I read all the posts about EXT4 and kernel flashing needed for flashing roms, but I cannot find a definitive guide on how to flash the kernel using odin or EXT4.
Can anyone help with a small , simple guide on how to do this please?
I've been looking for hours and darent try it without knowing fully how.
Thanks

Seen that post , but it doesnt say what to do with odin? As in where to load the .tar file etc.

You flash the Modaco kernel via Odin, if your file system isn't ext4 (which it won't be then you may need to manually reboot your phone - My phone still rebooted automatically coming from a rfs file system)
Once your phone reboots it should enter recovery automatically and you just sit back and let CWM backup / covert your file system to ext4 / restore your rom back on to your coverted file system
(I believe there are instance also when you phone does not automatically enter recovery on reboot, in this situation you will need to manually enter recover after flashing the kernel in Odin - to do this you hold down the power button and volume up)
Another thing worth noting, i had encountered an issue during the conversion process where CWM was not able to restore my existing rom, when this happens you can download a ext4 rom (i.e. modaco rom or overcome 1.1.3) and flash the file via CWM - i.e. you can leave the kernel and try another Rom.
Hope this helps.

thanks bendjlee, but how do I use odin? (where to put .tar file which mode should tab be in etc..).

This is what I get, doesnt work. Should I be in recovery or the phone in normal mode?

I also had "fail" in red in the left had box of odin, my tab is rooted and clockwork mod installed. What is wrong?

You'll need to put your tab to download mode first before connecting to your computer to odin. Turn on the tab with "volume down" held

ahh, will try it that way , but Im sure I tried that. Do I put phone in debugging mode before I go into download mode?

Download mode is different than recovery and debug. It would display an image of an android with a shovel. That is the mode you need to be in.

Even though the question was asked by someone else, these attempts to answer the question helped solve a similar problem on my side. Thanks!

no recovery , only download mode (i need .pit file )

Hi
I was on RocketRom V5 and wanted to go back to GB
so i tried to install a stock GB rom using PC odin but it failed in the middle of the proccess
now the phone can only go to download mode
and if I tried to boot it or go to recovery mode it says "Frimware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again"
now every time i try to install a stock rom using PC odin it fails
and the useless kies is giving me an error like massage in chinese
so if there is a way to install any rom without using kies it will very helpful

I too am facing the same situation. Hope someone comes up with a solution.

have you made a wipe while on ICS? was your phone booting normaly when you flashed it with PC ODIN?
try version 1.87 ,and if that doen't work then search for version 3 of ODIN
also do note that you should open task manager and shutdown any kies processes (usually two of them) ,kies will stop an ODIN flash ,so make sure to kill it first

i was really excited when i saw a reply i thought it was an answer
if you found a solution please post it here

kill KIES and you should have a smooth flashing ,unless you have corrupted your emmc by wiping on ICS of course

i was referring to the post above you
as i said i uninstalled kies completely
and i was on speedmod kernel which its developer says he did something to the kernel which should prevent the emmc bug
is there a way to know for sure that i corrupted the emmc or not ?

when you uninstalled kies, drivers may have been affected. reinstall drivers and try again. if you can, use another pc.
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums

just tried PC odin 1.87 and no diffrence

yes speedmod is safe ,you have nothing to worry about a brick.
now there could be many things that effect a flash:
1.bad cable
2.running as a standard account (select run as administrator)
3.wrong set of drivers ,to resolve download and install the latest KIES ,then kill it's processes.
4.wrong ODIN version (1.87 recommended)
5.as a last resort you shold flash a pit file (but that's risky)
anyway go to this thread and download ODIN from there and flash a GB ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
note that the drivers are included in this thread if you do not wish to install KIES again.
just follow this guide to the letter and you should be fine.

i changed the cable with a brand new cable that was in the original package of the phone
run as administrator
reinstalled the drivers from DR.ketan thread
tried odin 1.85 & 1.87 & the new odin 3 that has a slightly diffrent cyan UI
so im afraid i need to take the risk (BTW, what are the risks ?)
and flash a pit file
so can you please tell the right way to flash a PIT file so i can avoid the risks
your help are greatly appreciated

so anybody has a sulotion for this ?
i have been searching for a solution till now with no luck

If you can have it covered under warranty somehow, then try to seek help from SS service. Otherwise, the method in the thread below could be useful.

the risks could involve a permanent brick (not even download mod) , can you post exactly what ODIN says?
post ODIN log please
EDIT: maybe by any chance that you flashed an ICS bootloader? if so then it maybe the cause for this ,you should try to flash the official LPf using ODIN ,and if it works and the phone boots then flash Speedmod ics kernel on top of it (before wiping or anything).

here I found this pit file on the internet ,you need to choose your model (16gb or 32 gb) ,it's most likely 16gb ,right?
remember this is a last resort ,so don't use it

i will go with safer method and take it to samsung service :d
thanks anyway youve been a great help

if you still have warranty then by all means ,take it to the service center.
if you don't however then you should not give up this easily ,unless you have some cash lying around and you wish to give it to them.
either ways it's your call
good luck

weird ,it's failing to flash at factoryfs ,but it's not getting stuck during the operation.
I want you to try two things:
1.try to flash just a kernel ,try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1068654&d=1337346991
this is the cm9 safe kernel ,if the flash with ODIN goes successful then you can boot into recovery and try to fire a nandroid restore from there
be careful flashing this with ODIN will give you a triangle and count ,so if you still have your warranty ,try to find and flash a stock kernel (which will not give you a triangle).
2.if none of the above works ,then select only the 16 GB pit file and flash it alone ,do not interrupt a pit file flash ,let it take as long as it wants . if you interrupt it then your phone is gone.
after that flash a full GB ROM with removing .pit and unticking repartition.
but I haven't done this before so if you want to go through with it I suggest you wait for someone with actual experience at this.

pit file
Here you go with 16 GB pit file

[Q] newbie - HELP PLS - bricked?

Hi,
I came from an LG 2x, so I thought rooting my device in order to have some extra authorizations was no big deal. I first tried with pc software Unlockroot, but it failed in the process.
Being my GB 236 Note quite dirty I wanted to do some extra backup and cleanup. So I googled and stopped at rootyourgalaxynote.com, I tried the first ROOT method, not working, I tried the second method with pc ODIN 3.04 and abyss kernel 42, ODIN says it worked, note reboots but it stops at Samsung galaxy Note Gt-N7000 with yellow triangle. shocked, I didnt really expect that! After reading a little bit else, I went to sammobile downloaded italian gb 236 stock (the version I had befor kernel flashing) and tried to flash with PC Odin. It Failed. Device still gets in download mode. But now I'm seriously worried. What can I do?
[UPDATE]: I tried using Odin 1.85 and the same gb 236 stock rom but it stops half the factoryfs.img flashing...please explain me what's happening. I don't really want to bring it in assistance and lose my warranty

First you should t have flash abyss through odin since now you are not rooted and do t have the warranty too, the counter of flashes increased to 1 (look at the download mode small text), for rooting you can use chainfire's tool (in the cf-root kernel thread look for it in devolepment section) next get a stock rooted kernel and flash using the tool (read instructions).
For now use pc odin 1.87 and get a firmware 2.3.6 use the pc odin select the file on PDA and flash it, make sure phone is charged 100% and press start, if it doesn't work then uninstall drivers, reboot machine, reinstall them and kill kies process if present in task manager and then goto download mode connect USB and open pc odin wait for the port to be ready aka green and select file then start.... you should be fine its a soft brick afterall.

Yeah I know atm I don't have system nor root nor warranty.
I tried odin 1.87 with the stock rom from sammobile but at one point or another is it cache.img or factoryfs.img, it fails (I also uninstalled kies and drivers and reinstalled them, i also tried installing only drivers, for at&at note, but it doesn't let me). I'm gonna download another stock rom, I just hope in some way I soon solve the thing, given that I also don't know how much charge is left and if the phone still gets charged. it just displays an idle circle near an empty battery when connected to pc or A\C cable.

When connected to charger make sure phone is off the battery meter will show as soon as you connect, case it doesnt leave it for like 3 hours is fine... next about that ROM redownload. The package cleanup you temp directories in PC and try again if still goto recovery abyss I guess? Wipe everything and use the mount option and format partitions I would recommed you to have repartition but I dont have the file you can look for ot in forum its. PIT file download fireup odin select it in PIT section and see if repartitioning is shocked, of so select firmware as PDA and flash again.

Thx for your prompt answer, but I really didn't catch this part, if it still fails I must go in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache?I don't have CWM installed as rooting was the first flashing I tried on NOTE, so I don't have recovery installed. Since it stopped in the middle of flashing factoryfs.img, my Note is now displaying sth like 'updrading went wrong, try recovery mode in Kies': can it help in anyway? The PIT file and procedure are the same that are used for the EMMC bug?

Hi REVERSIN,
Thx. I was starting to fear it could be sth more than a soft brick. Can the initial use of unlockroot have caused anything (at least a week ago, Note still working after that)?
Sorry but I really can't understand what procedure should I follow since these initial attempts at flashing stocks failed. Should I try to flash CWM? What is the ISS root section (is it in the forum)? Where can i do a normal recovery wipe from? CWM I guess..
THX for your help

If you have the stock recovery, restore default wipes everything.
If you have stock re every and want CWM temporary just to wipe goto n7000 devolepment and check how to root by dr.ketan and get files there
If you have CWM then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.... and try. Old download another firmware like kk5.... something else not the new LC1 LX1 releases.... (Latest GB) get an old one to get root easly

I went to cwm and selected wipe data. it's still possible to enter cwm and download mode.
But i don't know what to do, to recover to a working phone. At this point it doesn't matter to me if it's going back to stock rom or to custom rom. As long as get's back to live.
Please who can help me.

So long as its stock it shouldnt matter, You should try to get the original one your phone came with, Or as close as possible.
I believe the issue is the kernel, You could try to flash another one before going down the route of restoring to stock.
Give speedmod a try, if it fails to boot still, then flash stock GB

Ok, my note came with gb. And was updated by KIES.
And it has the lpy kernel. I believe this one was a unstable version.
In odin i get this:

and it hangs on zimage. doesn't more.
What now.

how long has it been stuck like that for ? if anything was to fail it would be datafs or factoryfs. Its weird that its sticking on the kernel.
Have you tried to flash stock kernel in ODIN, and then the firmware on top ?

the first time i used odin, downloaded abys kernel as it would be a safe kernel. It hung for 45 min.
the second time, i downloaded the N7000XXLPY_N7000XXLPT_N7000XENLP1_HOME.tar.md5. And it hung.
And if i'm right i cant put that file on de sd card and install from cwm.

close KIES and try again with pc odin.

i'm on a different computer without KIES. I installed samsung usb driver.

Ok,
i downloaded the stockrom.
Went to annother pc.
Started odin up.
Selected the downloaded tar file with the pda button.
did select only reboot & reset time.
hit start.
it went further now. But in the end. odin gave a red flashin fault.
Is it now bricked?

Could be a communication error with the device...
As mentioned Hard brick would usually hang on FactoryFS or Data..
Try rebooting your PC
Use an alternate USB port and retry..

Hi all,
Thanx all. I managed to get a gb xxkk5 running on the note.
I went to another computer.
And used odin.
selected:
- pit file (downloaded from here)
- stockrom (downloaded from sammobile)
removed sd card and sim card.
hit start.
Now he is in configure mode of a new samsung account.
Again, thanks.

[Q] HELP! bircked note

hello everyone
my friend bricked his note and i don't know what to do for him, my friend has no exper experience, he did a restore on a nonsafe kernel
his phone is semi bricked (if not fully bricked), i tried using odin to flash a stock rom (gb then ics) but had no luck and proccess stops at "NAND write start", i tried only to flash a kernel which was abyssnote but also got stuck on "NAND write start" and i tried to use the pit file from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886) with a stock rom and with re-partition checked on odin and now it is stuck on:
<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
please help me as the phone has been stuck on this state (pit file way) for over 80 minutes
waiting for your answer...

i unpluged my phone now and i am trying a custom pit file (N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914--patched--brick-between-281-and-3770-MB--FACTORYFS-moved-by-3328-MiB.pit) after leaving my phone for up to 2 hours and with no progress using N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914-stock.pit
file, hope i can revive my friend phone and please try to point me for any solution i can try.

Check your connection. Usually if bricked the process will start ok but halt at factory.fs. Try with a different usb cable, make sure it's in a mobo usb port not front one.
Pit files should be a last resort. I don't think it's bricked personally. Does it power on at all?

Pit files should be a last resort. I don't think it's bricked personally. Does it power on at all?

What is the outcome of flashing the "N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914--patched--brick-between-281-and-3770-MB--FACTORYFS-moved-by-3328-MiB.pit" as you mentioned above?
If you can also get into recovery, then better try to use hg42 partition scanner first, to see if and where the damage is in the emmc.

If that long, then that pit doesn't seem to work.
I would try to flash a custom kernel such as hydracore or some other kernel that are available in .tar format. Then see if it help the phone get into recovery.
If that does not work, then just need to try other pit file from hg42 thread which move factoryfs by bigger number until it work. This is not a good strategy but it seems to be the only way.

This is a gb kernel that can be flashed via odin to see if recovery works.

i got stuck on NAND write start agine, i think its time to try your other strategy, should i go with pit file that has factoryfs moved by the largest number first or the one with the less number?

I would try the first way of flash a kernel since it does not take much time.
Anyway, if want to try second strategy should move up by 500 mb or 1 gb each time.
I saw some people reported problem after flashing a pit with big number them move back to flash a pit with small number so should try to avoid that situattion.
The next pit I would choose it the one move fatoryfs by 4608mib for example.

thank you for your replies, i will try to try them as you mentioned above and by the way and will wait 15-20 minutes in each operation, i already tried the last version of hydracore but had no success, one last thing, if none of them worked (hope not), is there any other possible way to revive from the brick(other than replacing the motherboard or replacing the phone from samsung)?

bricked or not
same problem here, was on stock ics rooted for quite sometime, today decided to flash alliance rom v2.1, booted to cwm recovery, did a full wipe and after that i just hated myself. phone didnt boot into recovery and odin gets stucked at factoryfs, tried to flash with pit file too but no result same stuck in problem. then i flashed different kernel fm note kernel through odin which was a success, got my recovery back but unfortunately the only rom i have on internal sd was alliance rom which doesnt install, either says emmc error alliance rom or stucks at extracting system. so again flashed abyss kernel and did a full wipe again but odin still does not go beyond factory fs and i am trying to flash ics rom again. any idea what i should do now as i can flash a kernel and go into recovery. help will be appreciated. meanwhile downloading gb rom to check as i read in other posts it works tough not sure.

it is good as far as you can access cwm recovery, try to get any external sd, download a rom and put it on the external sd using other phone
and flash it using cwm and dont forget your safe kernel , and can you tell me please what kernel you've used?

Once get recovery it is best to try to scan partition to identify where the damage is. You can you adb method in my manual repartition guide or the scanner from hg42 which is even better.

Should try the kernel I sent and also the fm kernel suggested in the post above. Once having recovery it is much easier and there are more options. Otherwise, custom pit is the last resort before mobo replacement.

Hi there, sounds like a bad flash or bad download. Firstly remove your external micro SD card and connect it to a PC / Laptop (standard SD adaptor or Card Reader). Download a "default" ROM and kernel and KEEP them on the card (you never know when you need to go back to them). I use Abyss 4.2 kernel and Chrack ROM personally. I always have the jBroid Kernel Cleaner saved also). Replace the micro SD card.
If you can get into Recovery, flash the jBroid script cleaner. Now flash Abyss 4.2 kernel (GB safe kernel) and reboot into Recovery again. Now flash Chrack Rom. I've had a number of bad flashes and these 3 zips have always pulled me out a hole.
Hope this helps. Hit Thanks if it did.

i've already mentioned that it has no recovery mode, and yes, i always have abyssnote kernel in my ex-sd also in my friend's phone, the thing is that he don't know about the emmc bug and he did a restore on a none safe kernel and thats how he bricked his phone
what i've done so far is trying the pit file way but had no luck, now the thing is that the binary counter is 5 and i can't go to have a m/b replacement for free as the warranty is voided, is there any way to reset the counter or to hardbrick the phone except for the jig method?
