[Q] Odin FAIL with kernel

Hi,
First, forgive my english, in France our teatcher are french too ^^
So, I tried flash kernel with Odin, and it get FAIL at end.
I tried overcome kernel and modaco (something like that!) and i get same error. Everytime I must reflash an official rom to reboot the tab, because I get the computer with phone link screen and I can't access to recovery (I don't know if you can understand what I try to say )
An idea ? I don't know why I can't flash the kernel...
Thanks you

hm....if you tried to do that from Stock firmware, you can't because you have a protected bootloader.....it happened to me as well ....but there is a solution:
1. go in download mode....if you can. If is showing phone - ? - computer, no problem, just flash with PIT file! it works.
2. flash the stock firmware once again via Odin from SamFirmware
3. once you done, root you tab with SuperOneClick.
4. Apply the patch
5. Flash again the kernel . Overcome_Kernel_v1.0.tar (5.50 MB) don't flash the latest on; if you coming from stock , you need to flash this version, and after conversion to Ext4 you can update...
....BTW you have a very good tutorial here. just follow it. hope it helps!

Thanks !
I will try !

Woaw, worked as well !!
It was just the bootloader !
Thanks for your help !

nice to see you back !!!!

You CAN or CANT access download mode ? If you can, simply flash a stock ROM via ODIN.

Yes I can, I tried to downgrade to GB but it failed as well :/

I don't really clearly understood your issue.
But if you want to flash a Stock ICS Rom, start ODIN PC, start your SGNote in download mode (button volume down + home + power), then connect your SGNote to your PC and flash via ODIN PC.
If you don't know exactly how to use ODIN PC, check tutos on the forum.

When you say "it failed" you are going to have to be more specific. Please give us an error message. Did you get a NAND write start and factoryfs.img and it just freeze after that in Odin?

Reinstall your ADB/USB drivers, make sure you're using USB2.0 port - for me USB3.0 always results in failed flash, ultimately switch USB ports.

The file you download from dr. Ketan is a .rar file, unzip it once and you get a .tar file. Flash that file with Odin in pda section. So don`t unzip the .tar file again.

To start with - you need root to flash this custom ROM, so unrooting your device was a mistake, you have to root it again.
Now, i've never flashed Criskelo's ROM, but from what i've read in the thread, you need to root your device, flash Chainfire's ICS repack via mobile odin, and then flash criskelo rom via CWM. Do not unpack the .zip file, you need to point CWM to that file.

When you boot into recovery, is it CWM recovery?
If you are talking about not seeing the CWM app, don't worry about that.

Can't load any ROM in my SGH-I897

hi
I'm writing for the first time although I've been visiting the forum for couple of weeks as I'm facing a problem with my samsung SGH-I897.
PROBLEM HISTORY
it was a present to me which was already rooted and loaded with ICS rom (I can't remember the version, kernel, baseband or build no). 2 weeks back, I tried to upgrade the phone with JB Slim custom rom (www.android.gs/update-galaxy-captivate-i897-jelly-bean-slim/) but stuck with AT&T bootlogo. I tried to go back to ICS again but accidentally did something wrong in CWM recovery (don't know the version) for which CWM went back to original 3e version.
Since then I couldn't load any rom (by CWM or Odin) bcos there was error in CWM saying failed to mount /dbdata... etc. 2 days ago I found a fix for that in blog.kalpetros.com/2012/04/how-to-fix-cant-mount-dbdata-error-sgs.html
Then I loaded GB rom 2.3.5 , baseband I897UCKJ1 , kernel 2.6.35.7-I897UCKJ1-CL614489 . But my CWM is still 3e.
THE PROBLEM NOW
1) I am trying to update the captivate but every time I try to update I get this:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I've tried Lanight, Slim Rom (again) but no use. what should I do?
2) Maybe there is a kernel issue (it says here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874327 ). So to flash new kernel I followed the instruction from androidprof.blogspot.com/2013/02/upgrading-rooting-and-then-installing.html?goback=%2Egde_86481_member_213543419 and forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266 but Odin hangs at midpoint and the captivate becomes softbricked. Then again I have to load the GB. is the odin defective? (I used odin 1.85 & odin3)
3) I tried to load GB I897UCKK4 by one click odin installer but it hanged everytime. why?
thanx in advance

thank you 4-2ndtwin,
I think the pc connection is ok bcos I can flash the GB 2.3.5 I897UCKJ1 ROM by odin 3. (infact it's the only ROM I can flash)
And Odin cannot flash the kk4 kernel, it hangs at midpoint.
SO FAR HERE GOES THE SUMMERY
I can only flash the above mentioned ROM. No other ROM, kernel, CWM recovery can't be loaded by Odin 1.85 or 3.
Same goes for flashing through recovery mode. there's always signature verification failure error (see 1st post)

bad usb driver, connector or cable can cause intermittent fail like that, mid flash, even though it looks okay when you start. also, have you tried redownloading your sources? signature verification can mean failed md5 checksum= corrupt source file.

Out of curiosity, did you accidentally enable the signature verification in speedmod? I did that yesterday while installing Captivating and it'll throw the signature verification error lol. Just click it again in CWM and you should be able to get passed the signature verification.

I don't know, if it's bad usb driver, connector or cable how come they always give trouble during flashing everything except I897uckj1 rom?

there's no such option in my cwm. the cwm is 3e and very limited. it has only 4 option... reboot, update from zip, wipe factory data, wipe cache.

CWM and 3e recovery are 2 different things. CWM is a CUSTOM recovery, 3e is the stock recovery. It sounds like you're still on stock recovery.
Have you tried using ADB to push a CWM recovery.img to the device? There should be some tutorials or posts on other threads here about doing it. I had to do that for my Pantech Crossover.
Once you do that, you can flash a ROM no problem.

Can't flash my n7000

Hello,
I've been stuck on this problem all the afternoon and evening.
Here it is : I got my mother's n7000 offered, which has never been flashed before. Today, I'd like to install CM10.1. I want to install CWM (PhilZ) in order to flash CM.
When I try to "apply update from sdcard" in the stock recovery (file: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT4-OXA-4.93-6-signed.zip) it tells me that E:signature verification failed.
And when I try to use Odin, to flash a PDA (.tar.md5), it get stuck on "NAND Write Start!!".
Concerning Odin, I found out it could be a problem that has to do with the phone partitioning and that I should flash a PIT file to resolve that problem. So I used Odin to 'flash' a PIT file. But still, this doesn't resolve the CWM installation problem...
Anyone has an idea on why is this happening and how could I get out of this mess?
Thanks in advance! Bye!

Up please, can anyone help ?
Thanks XDA community.

What worked for me back in the day was using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
An older version from here, for example << 03.06.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v5.06.1 with CWM 6.0.3.2 based recovery >>
Then once that is installed, reboot to recovery again and install the new "advanced version"
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7000/ (4.84.3 ZIP)
Then restart and you should be able to flash the one you wanted.
Also, try using older ODIN version, I think I use 1.87 or something like that, definitely not 3+.

Thank you for your help, I succeeded installing Philz 5 via Odin 1.85, then updating to CWM (KitKat compatible), then installing NightOwl (Android 5.1.x with CM12) Beta4
Once again, thank you!
