choose a 2.3.6 firmware from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
flash it via odin , root your build by chosing the right cf-root from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
if you have flashed for exemple JVU , you have to choose the right cf-root file ( for JVU build )
then flash cm 9 via recovery , download from here
http://get.cm/get/3Fb
then flash any costum rom you want from development section
good luck

since your phone doesnt catches network, means you have lost the IMEI. If you dont have a backup only way to get it is service center
Btw, There is no such thing as "Ext4 for froyo" the ext4 in general is used for both Froyo and GB. The problem lies with you not reading instructions and not restoring the data as clearly stated and put in bold by the instructions , Human error, its grand.

[Q] Odin stuck on "data.img" i can not flash a firmware and Note Semi Died (Help)

[Q] Odin stuck on "data.img" i can not flash a firmware and Note Semi Died (Help)
Hi Guys,
I hope someone can help me, I accidentally interrupted a factory resect and from this moment I can not flash with Odin .. in detail ....
I can do:
1a I can successfully flash a firmware with Odin with only one file
2a I can successfully flash a kernel with Odin
3a I can go to recovery, any, either Samsung or CWM 3E recovery if i flash to CF-Root Kernel
4a I recorey files from flash, cooked and kernels.
I can not do:
1b I can not flash with success with Odin firrmware with more file and Pit, Odin stuck on "data.img"
2b I can not restore a backup nandroid, because I get I get the following errors:
Error while restoring / date!
E: Can not open / chace / recovery / log
E: Can not open / chace / recovery / log
E: Can not open / chace / recovery / last _log
E: Can not open / chace / recovery / last _log
3b I can not load the system, i can not turn on the Notes, only sometimes into Boot loop and other time stuck on written "Notes Galaxy Samsung GT-N7000"
Other problems:
- If I make the point 1a after the phone sometimes goes directly into Boot loop, other time go to 3E Samsung recovery and I get the following errors:
"And: failed to mount / data (Unknown error: 0)"
"E: install_application_for_customer: Can not mount / data"
"Your storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menus for format and reboot actions."

Even doing a full wipe, restarting the Notes, remain on "Notes Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000"
- If I make the point 4a flashing cooked, the flash apparently successfully, but at reboot Note stuck on written "Notes Galaxy Samsung GT-N7000"
I'm desperate, I do not know what else to do to revive my Note...
I hope someone can help me...
Really Thanks
Ps. Sorry for my bad English
Try this,
download abyssnote 3.9 kernal and put it on external sdcard somehow (maybe by taking the sd card out and using a card reader.
boot into recovery, flash the abyss note kernal, go to advanced in recovery and reboot recovery,
now try restoring the nandroid backup u have.
See if this helps..
Edit: or you can download a stock firmware in .tar format, put it in PDA(in odin) see if it flashes successfully,
you can use the firmware in this post, download the three files from mirror 2 and read instruction to join them, and flash it in Odin PC

Hi dead-angel
thanks for your answer and for your help..
i had flash abyss 3.9 (RedPill Recovery) and after i make restore of nandroid backup but nothing of good..
the restore was interrupted and i get this error:
Error while restoring / date!
E: Error in / chace / recovery / log
(read-Only file system)
i wanna also try your second suggestion, but some link are not available
anyway i have just tryed so many time to flash with odin I can successfully flash a firmware with Odin with only one file the phone sometimes goes directly into Boot loop, other time go to 3E Samsung recovery and I get the following errors:
"And: failed to mount / data (Unknown error: 0)"
"E: install_application_for_customer: Can not mount / data"
"Your storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menus for format and reboot actions."
"copy application failed"
Even doing a full wipe, restarting the Notes, remain on "Notes Samsung Galaxy
GT-N7000"
while I can not flash a firmware with success with Odin and more file and Pit, Odin stuck on "data.img"
frustrating situation
Your Welcome
Try the mediafire links from that second suggestion, Im sure they work, and that shows up as single file in Odin, It should flash if single file fashing works in your PC odin
If mediafire is blocked in your country or by your ISP, try any Proxy bypass site to access the mediafire.
Best of luck mate
Ok, thanks Again Angel

Hello everyone
I am having a similar problem: I wanted to downgrade my Note to stock GB because I lost root on an ICS leak. I have done this successfully before but today pc odin suddenly hangs in the middle of flashing the factoryfs.img of a stock kernel (I used this one but tried others as well: N7000XXKJ4_N7000VD2KJ1_N7000XXKJ4_HOME.tar.md5).
Because of this I can now only boot the phone into download mode. I have also tried to use a pit file (as you can see in the screenshot, where I used this file: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit), because I thought the partitions might have been corrupted or changed by the ICS ROM but this didn't help either.
Do you have experienced this before? What else could I try?
Thanks a lot for any help
suxi
Edit: I have tried this (quote below)from a different post and odin still hangs after the first 1mm of factoryfs.img flashing
http://hotfile.com/dl/141060546/b0c7...1_OXA.rar.html
download this firmware, it's gonna take awhile but worth a try..
try flashing this rom using PC odin.
pit: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
pda: CODE_N7000XXLA1_CL868264_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.m d5
phone: MODEM_N7000XXLA1_REV_05_CL1093393.tar.md5
csc: GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-OXALA1.tar.md5
check re-partition, auto reboot, F. reset time.
let me know if it works!

[Q] EFS Mounting Problem

Hi,
I'm a newbee around here and I would really appreciate if someone could help me on this.
My GT-I9070 was fully functional till yesterday. I've been running CM10.2. Yesterday I tried to change the Kernal to Co-Core 8.2. I deeply regret doing that because I didn't had enough knowledge on how to change kernals. What I did was copied the Co-Core zip file to sdcard and applied it via CWM. After that, my phone restarted and it was stuck on the CM boot screen. I got mad and flashed the phone to stock 4.1.2 using ODIN. Then the setup wizard showed up and it kept on crashing giving me toasts, "gapps not working" and "setup wizard has unfortunately stopped".
I then went to stock recovery mode and the log said,
E:failed to mount /efs (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount efs (Invalid argument)
Applying Multi CSC..
E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
E:multi_csc:Can't mount /efs Multi csc applied failed
I searched on n number of threads here in XDA about this problem and read in one thread that IMEI could've corrupted.
Then using ODIN, I flashed my mob to stock GB 2.3.6 with DDLD4 baseband. Then everything worked perfect. Phone booted up and was working perfect. But then I tried to update the phone to 4.1.2 via KIES, the KIES said "This phone can't be upgraded".
I again flashed 4.1.2 using ODIN, again it said gapps and setup wizard unfortunately stopped. I tried installing CM10.1, CM10.2, MIUI but in all cases, it got stuck on the bootscreen of each ROM. I flashed back to stock GB again and phone is working perfect now. When I go to "about phone", IMEI is showing with no error. It is the same IMEI which the phone had when it was bought. But when I go into recovery mode, it still says "/efs can't be mount". What could be the possible reason for this? How I can I fix this? Is there anyway for me to install the CM ROM again and successfully keep it up and running?

Are you saying I have to flash pit file alone? Or do a full flash of GB with repartition checked?
While flashing JB, I didn't used any pit file. Just used the .tar file which was selected under PDA of ODIN.
Any idea if checking repartition while flashing JB would work?
I'm currently running GB 2.3.6 baseband version DXLD1. And I've got 2 pit files one for 8GB which I got from the DXLD1 package I downloaded and one 16 GB which I downloaded separately.

No... you should flash pit file with the .tar.md5 file.
repartition will work on either GB or JB.
if you have the 8gb version you should use the 8gb .pit file and use the 16 gb .pit file if you have the 16gb version.

My phone is the 16 GB version. I'm having some weird doubts. I beg your pardon if I'm asking noob questions but I need to know them.
Ok, so here's how I flashed JB 4.1.2
In the JB package I downloaded, ther was only .tar file and nothing else. The baseband version is DDULP8. So everytime I flashed JB, I did with .tar file alone and no pit file.
Now, whenever I flashed back to GB 2.3.6, I flashed by selecting three files in the DXLD1 download package. PDA file, CSC file and an 8GB pit file. I flashed with these files at the first place and the phone boots up, works well. But the internal storage is shown as 3.91 GB. To solve this, I downloaded a separate 16GB pit file and flashed the phone by just selecting the 16GB pit file. After I rebooted my phone, it shows 11.1 GB internal storage.
My doubt is, do I need to select the 16GB pit file and check repartition while flashing JB 4.1.2?
Or just check repartition and flash with .tar file alone?!
Didn't solved

i didn't have any backup and the imei is ok
just try it from 1-10
1) If you are with a Gingerbread rom, first have to migrate to a Jelly Bean
2) Now that you're with Jelly Bean, download the CWM Temporary, extract the files to a folder of your choice and move to your memory card.
3) Unplug the device and plug it into recovery mode
volume p / up + home + power
4) Select using the volume button the option "Apply update from external storage" and press the power
5) It will open a list with several folders and files, now navigate to the "CWM.zip" and press power again
6) It started to install and the phone screen goes all hazy, wait 5 seconds, press HOME and wait about 3 seconds will open the CWM version in "Touch"
7) Select "Wipe Cache"
8) Now select "advanced", then select "fix permissions"
9) Select "reboot system", a counter appears never ending, this time take out the battery and restart the device in recovery mode
10) The error message should no longer appear, now just install the Stock ROM Jelly Bean desired.

i didn't have any backup and the imei is ok
just try it from 1-10
1) If you are with a Gingerbread rom, first have to migrate to a Jelly Bean
2) Now that you're with Jelly Bean, download the CWM Temporary, extract the files to a folder of your choice and move to your memory card.
3) Unplug the device and plug it into recovery mode
volume p / up + home + power
4) Select using the volume button the option "Apply update from external storage" and press the power

[Q] Failed to mount efs, repartition failed, internal memory 0.0mb : PLease help

Hi friends ,
I am using Samsung S Advance since last eight month, Till now i have flash more than 300 nightly and custom roms over my mobile and evry time i succeeded, but two days back when i got stuck in omnirom I use ODIN to Flash Stock JB . My Phone Boot After that And got stuck on initial setting wizard everytime i try to pass that it shows
unfortunately samsung setting wizard stopped , so i can not pass that point ,
So i flash stock firmware again and again but everytime same problem
Then I reboot in Recovery which show message " fail to mount efs( invalid argument)
I ignore it and Start Recovery again and root my mobile using update.zip(which is temporary recovery) and then flash cocore kernel And try to restore my backup( I have 6 different rom backup , i tried them all) but every rom got stuck in bootloop .
Then I try to Flash CM10.2 but that also didn't work
Then I Flash some custom rom like sami-os and galexperia which are based on stock firmware and they start working but those roms are freezing a lot, When i try to install any software in those rom they says insufficient memory , I Check storage and it shows
"DEVICE MEMORY 0.00B"
Everytime I reboot all user data get wiped and evrytime setting wizard appear like first boot
I have tried to mount efs, data, ,system via cwm . There is error to mount efs via cwm . I mount data, system successfully but after every reboot they are unmounted.
So Made some search and finally decide to repartition via odin using PIT file given somewhere in this forum but odin shows "fail"
My Friend suggest me to revert back to gb but i couldn't find Indian firmware ( All sites give link to hotfile page which is banned), so i followed post in xda about downgrading from JB to GB and try to flash PIT, PDA , CSC file given by OP via odin but it fails everytime .
So again I flash JB via odin but same result( Got stuck in setting wizard)
So I Tried to root again using update.zip(which i mentioned earlier and which works for me everytime in past) but it switched off during update in recovery so now i can not start cwm now and can use only stock recovery and unable to flash custom rom.
I have Given All Details about how problem start and here is summary of all problems
1. fail to mount efs(invalid argument)
2. 0.0b internal memory
3. unable to repartition using ODIN
4. user data deleted on every boot and boot as first boot
5. can not pass setup wizard in stock firmware after flashing stock via Odin
I think i have messed up with internal memory and which is causing problem or my recovery is damaged.
please give me solution .
If any one have INDIAN GB firmware with pit, csc , pda, bootloader please upload and give link , i searched everywhere no link is working.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I have successfully downgrade to GB and 0.0b internal memory problem is solved , for detail read 7th post
But still FACING " efs error" and unable to upgrade to jb
Every time i flash jb with odin it get stuck in start up in setting wizard with message " process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and then " setting wizard stopped"
please help me to solve this
Any one need to know how i solved my problem of 0.0mb and downgrade GB he can read post and even PM me.

If your phone is I9070 and not I9070P then use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195673
After that you can use your country GB. We all downgrade this way, and after that use any other firmware.

is your baseband working ok? I had a similar problem when flashing a rom, couldn't get out of setup wizard and also my baseband was XXXX as soon as i fixed the baseband and re-flashed the problem was gone, here is how:
I've flashed modemfs.img.md5 now 3G is working.
On another device (same model and region) I did:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5
Copied generated file to my sdcard and did:
dd if=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Reboot and it's done.

HI , i could not clearly understand how did you managed to install stock rom , when the stock installation stopped at repartition , anyhow you should never tick the re-partition while flashing stock firmwares , i guess that created the problem . anyhow see if you can mount the sd. card from recovery option in TWRP , and reboot . and if not try step by step guide to flash STOCK FIRMWARE for s advance using its original PIT file(8gb/16bg) .
