Rooted my Note now it wont boot up

Its been a while since ive been on these forums, i used to root and install custom roms on my X10 all the time..... but a Few days ago i rooted my Galaxy Note, following a tutorial from root galaxy note .com and my phone rebooted fine and after doing a root check my phone showed as being rooted, then last night in bed i installed lcd density and changed the settings upon restart my note is hanging on the Samsung bootup logo, i can get into odin mode where it stays on Downloading...Do not turn off target!!, i can also get it into Android System Recover, but cannot get the method of both buttons and power to work
I have been googling online for the last hour finding an answer and most seem to say i need to reflash the whole phone back to normal in odin but was wondering if there is any easier way to get back up and running especially as i didnt install any custom firmware on my phone
please help ??

This question dosn't belong to dev-forum.
But here's the quick answer:
LCD Density changes only one line that blongs to DPI in build.prop file. But you have to alter 2 lines.
So the quick way to revert your bootloop: go to recovery, make a full wipe and reflash your ROM.
If you want change your DPI: Alter it by manually change the lines in build.prop or grab ROM-Toolbox from market and make the changes.

hi thanks for the answer, when you say your rom ? ive been trying to find a custom uk 4.04 rom for the note for the last 45 mins but cant seem to find one, any ideas where ? also how would i change the build.prop without my phone being able to boot up, is it possible?

if it was on android recovery you might of escaped , you will find out when you flash firmware...if it gets stuck at factory fs its bricked...good luck

thanks for your advice, feel like giving myself a big slap honestly !!!! i was going to try a custom rom and see if it allowed that to work, where would i find an original 4.04 rom for the uk and o2 ?

some handy torrents here for stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590284
in future i would do a bit more reading before you muck around with your phone , and dont bother with the other sites this site has the best info

If I were you I flash a GB stock rom with pc odin. If it pass you are ok and you can wipe again but if stuck on factoryfs.img you are hardbricked.
Please put here also the link for the tutorial that you used.

i managed to use odin to reflash the original firmware and im back up and running
thanks for the help guys

Now spend some time first and read this guide.

Don't follow other sites different than XDA. It can leave you to a eMMC hardbrick.

Dont post questions in the dev section! Read the stickies for guidelines!​

Lucky you.. Read , read and Read before you act ..

Bricked via CWM

I flashed via CWM MUI v.3 cuz the v.4 needed v3 due a bug but it hang on flashing boot.IMG. so i had to took out battery. Since then no charging / detection / download mode by buttons. Possible Ultimate brick?

Thanks

Dr. Ketan,
Black screen no detection no recovery

First make sure your battery is not completely empty. Try to charge with external charger or manage for other battery
Still nothing then manage for JIG as last option

Dr. KEtan,
I bricked the note with 95% then removed battery to prevent drain while briked. Will try JIG tonight., Will let u know

What do you think it is related with brick? Is it your fault of kernel or ROM fault. It is really annoying situation... Im sorry for your loss man...

Im not really an expert on android, but i would consider myself an advanced user so correct me if im wrong....
Couldnt it be, that the boot.img from the rom got corrupted somehow and thats the reason why it hanged while flashing it? Coz as of how i understood what the boot.img is used for, it would explain why u cant boot in recovery/dl-mode. Simply coz there is no bootloader on ur phone. Just an idea...

Well, im not a pro too to understand that since CWM erased bootloader and did not replaced it with the other version. How about SSC? Will they notice since my counter was not reset?

I have warned in hydracore thread that CWM 6.0.1.2 caused me and another user from a different thread to softbrick.
I got bashed by the fanatics in return.

Looks like MIUI bug

@jeroen180 send it in, they wont notice, just tell them ur phone got slow sow u did a factory reset and now it refuses to boot send my sgs in that way, before the jig was know, and my gf sent her sgs plus in abot 2 weeks ago with the same story

Yeah, I agree, if you tell them you just had to do a factory reset because it got really slow and laggy than they shouldn't have a problem. They wouldn't bill you either unless they had prior authorization.

First off before you start quoting other threads in other fourms, take a minute to get your facts in order.. Miui for the note has not been released to the public as of this date because it has the possibility to brick you device as it has the unsafe Samsung kernel (yes the same kernel as your stock note ), so if your running Miui on your note than your running a leaked version (then in that case you should know the risk involved) that is either running the stock kernel or it has one of the hydracore versions as it is the only option miui has at the moment unless your on one of the cm versions. So not defending either the rom/kernel he was trying to flash or what he was coming from as he really doesn't state either .. it would help if he provided such information. Sorry to the owner but before you get your device JTAGGED you may want to check with a samasung service center because the JTAGGED will void your warranty..

No ,CWM will not erase or even touch the bootloaders ,only PC ODIN can do that ,boot.img refers to the kernel ,I've had a corrupted boot.img flash once ,easily solved via PC ODIN ,the phone would start up and show the logo but nothing more if that happens .I doubt that's the case here but you could try a blind flash in PC odin and see if that works .

How you explain the phone stays black screen after hanging in CWM with boot.img? U suggest my board broke by accident? Someone can explain?

Could it be,
that,,,, i forgot to reboot after flashing the Hydrakernel... and eMMC bricked the bootloader perhaps? since the bootloader is stored on the chip as well?

my phone is in endless boot...

Hi i have cm7 and it works great but do day i wanted to charge my phonebit was dead and after some minuts i turned it on and was in boot loop no recovery.... only downlaod mode works.
Do i need to re instal a rom with odin? Because it sucks all data lost. I there some sort of fix?!t

[Q] knocked on the recovery

I have a Samsung device Galaxy SIII Mini (GT-I 8190)
Accidentally installed a version that was not his, and knocked on the recovery, and now my device does not get any updates, not through the OTA and automatic updates, simply the recovery screwed.
I tried to change version, and restore the original version and it did not help ..
By the way, every time a version I do, he gets stuck, and I must do him param then he recovers back. No param is stuck in the front window.
You know how you fix it please?

I dont think that any update was published.

Can fix this?

Maybe flash an official firmware from the start and do a hard reset (after the flashing).
That should definitely install the official recovery again!

Steps i think is needed:
1. Try to reflash LG Software 4.1.2 (see if solved. not? proceed next steps.)
2. Relock Bootloader
3. Send back to LG and hope they can solve it.

i like the way u put it xD you havent changed anything.
"I have done some changes, remove some software i didnt use using titanium backup, freeze some apps and services too, remove some empty pastes in system directory using root explorer, install iodak kernel, install mods like sound optimization via cwm nothing more! My 4x have 3/4 months i have buying it new!"
if the kernel and mods are nothing then what ? xD especially kernel... kernel is everything. you know it could be the kernel also that caused u the problem. go read what kernel is. its the communication between software and hardware.
But ok you havent changed much
