I have a N7000 that got stuck at Samsung logo without any sort of modification of firmware or similar. I suspect it had 4.1.2 but I can't be 100% sure. First I tried to wipe cache from recovery menu then I tried to flash it with 4.1.2 using Odin without any success. After reboot it got stuck on starting apps just after it had optimized all the apps for 4.1.2. After another boot it's still stuck at Samsung logo. The thing is that I have a lot of pictures of my children that I want to save if possible. What do you recommend, trying an old GB ROM? As saw a special ROM for another phone that wiped everything but data. Is there something similar to N7000?
You may need to format data to get the phone to boot up again. Download philz kernel for JB and flash it from recovery. Then boot onto recovery again and you should see cwm. Then choose wipe data. This will delete all user apps and it's data but will not delete pictures and videos on your internal storage. Then reboot. If phone still doesn't boot then you may need to flash is one more time.

I flashed a GB rom with Odin but got nothing I could use. Didn't get past the setup. Then I flashed 4.1.2 again and could actually get past the samsung logo. It's extremly instable though, crashing all the time. Could copy a single file in the root folder with usb but as soon as I try open another folder it crashes. Is there something I could do to make it more stable? Could philz help? Perhaps the filsystem is messed up....
You need to do a factory reset.

I gradually shut down services and features and uninstalled apps (especially service based ones) until it was stable enough for me to copy files through usb. Success
Now I just need to back contacts etc before I can do a proper wipe and reinstall 4.1.2. Is there a especially good app for it? And if that fails, are the contact info/address book accessable through the file system?
Usually synced with Google but you could make a nandorid back from recovery and then one you have the new ROM installed, use titanium backup to extract app data of contacts and contacts storage using "extract from nandroid backup" functionality.

Mickwa76 you need to give more information about your phone and how you did it.
I found this on the mobilegeek site:
Please note:
The ROMOW v5 is based XKL7 then I recommend you do a full wipe. If you are using a ROM-based or KJ4 KKA backups with Titanium may not be successful or lead to problems of instability '
Installation:
For safety, let the memory of your device running a ROM
Download the ROM and put it in the memory of your device
Boot into Recovery
Do all wipe
Flashate the V5.1
Reboot and you're done
PS: The first startup may take a few minutes, so do not worry. If the boot image continues to move forward but without going into loop, remove the battery and reboot the device
And you can always try other roms

Here is step by step procedure,
1. Flash Rootable Stock ROM
2. Root and install CWM
3. Copy ROMOW 5.1 to SD card (Preferably Ext SD Card)
4. Reboot into recovery mode
5. Flash ROMOW 5.1 ROM
6. Do a clean Wipe/factory Reset
7. Wipe Cache
8. Reboot
done.
Remember first boot will take little longer time than normal.
Install another ROM, safe all your data with titanium backup for example.
Then go to CWM Recovery and flash your new CustomROM.
First Startup could take some minutes, so dont push anything, wait.
After starting, reboot it 2-3 times
Then if you want, flash a new kernel with CWM Recovery and reboot it 2-3 times again.
N7000 KKA. Backed up stock on external. Saved .zip on internal sd. Backed up apps/data. Did a factory wipe and reset using CWM. Finally flashed the RowMo rom. Took a while to start, no boot loop. Worked fine for the first 10 minutes then my Note got excessively hot and started freezing. Rebooted a few times no change. Flashed stock back. Want to try rocket but a few people on xda have complained of freezes also.

I might lose all contacts :crying: There is 290+ of them. I'm noob in this stuff and i need help!!
So before i was going to flash a rom i did a nandroid backup and i did restore (CMW Touch PhilZ 6.0.15). The same backup i just created to see if it works ( i don't know why). It was restoring files like normal ( about 10 mins). Then i restarted the phone. Samsung logo kept glowing about 10 mins and more but Galaxy Note didn't show homescreen. What it that? Bootloop? And then i tried flashing Slim rom 2.6v and it changed my recovery to CMW 5.5 or something similar with smaller touch buttons and smaller selection rows. Never experienced such things with S3. flashed about 15-20 roms and recovery was never changed. Why did rom change phone's recovery on my Note? But rom worked (homescreen, menus and etc as it should). Then i tried to do restore again. Did latest restore same wich i tried restoring before flashing (in that 5.5v wich was installed by new rom). Got error. Restarted. And my installed recovery 6.0.15 by PhilZ appeared again? Why this happened? Why doesn't this happen on S3 ( s3 always has same recovery as i flashed 10+ typed of different roms or is just this one?) So tried to restore latest point again. It was restoring about 10 mins like normal restore in time. But after restart it could not properly boot and show homescreen. Just showed Samsung glowing logo and phone was warm like CPU would be on load.
Btw. I have almost one month old backups too. 2 of them and they do the same thing after restore. Just glowind samsung logo. As i can remember ( not guaranteeing ) i restored from one of those backups because i was flashing a custom rom and wanted to go back.
Is it possible to get CONTACTS back from that backup? System settings? I will lose sooo much time without those contacs!!! :crying: Please help me!
What tools do i need to get back my stuff?
If there will be correct answer more than one person. The first one will get this gift. I will be back in about 10 hours.\
Hello.
Your contacts are stored here data.ext4.tar\data\data\com.android.providers.contacts\databases\ with *.db extension
Try to extract them and replace.

Problem is that my backups are 20mb. And one main backup with lots lots of folders. That's is how 6,0,15 recovery is made? Yes? And there is no tar file wich i could open with winrar.
Omg.. Just ultima flashed rom with that 5,5v recovery from Slim rom and now i can't even see samsung boot glowind logo. But works in download mode. What should i flash now!?
I'm going to sleep. Hope no nightmares about phones lol...
That's because you used .dup format to backup, so the backup folder is around 20MB as you said and blobs folder is around 800MB to 2GB, depends what ROM you used.
None of yours backup work?

download alliance ROM v2.1 resurection and use odin to flash it. Your phone will be back then, reboot recovery wipe cache dalvik and data, reboot. Download any xxls2 rom and flash it try to restore your data using titanium extract from nandroid.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33626381#post33626381 <----- Theard wich title says i have bricked my phone. Now please give advises how to unbrick there. Thanks!
So I created a backup using the PhilZ bootloader. Then I restored the original firmware using odin because I needed to get the original gallery app. Now I'm trying to restore the backup, but I'm having problems. The first time I tried I got an error asking me to select a backup account or something. I did it again, this time doing a full wipe (with preload and everything) and then wiping cache and dalvik cache. I am still having problems however. Gmail doesn't stay open, trying to open the settings force closes touchwiz, and the phone and messaging apps have disappeared. Any ideas what's going on or how I can fix this? Anything I can do to give you guys more detail?
Philz is philz and odin is odin

So that's it then? Back to square one? If so, ok, but I'd rather not.
Hi,
somehow the software of my galaxy note got damaged. I didnt install new firmware or anything. i just wanted to shut it down but i think it freezes already there. so i took the battery out. but when i start it it gets to the samsung boot anmation and crashes and restarts again.
i can reach the phils kernal and also bootloader. i hope i can do a custom flash to fix it without that i have to wipe it and reinstall anything. which part i have to reflash to fix that?
if you can reach the recovery, then make nandroid backup and wipe data and cache and dalvik and finally restore your cache and data (or you can reflash using odin and then restore data and cache).

Thanks! Tried it but I think the backup wasn't created correct. I couldn't restore data and cache.
well I used a some months old backup. had to update a lot and to do changes but it works now.
so I will create an actual backup now.

dear all...
my Note N7000 has never been restarted for a long time and i never pull the battery out, and today because i need to take out the simcard, i turn off and pull out the battery, afterwards it just turn ON and halt/hang at Samsung logo, i waited for hours and it still can't boot up and access the menu...
i never root the phone, is there any chance that i can root, and somehow gain access to backup all the stuffs i had inside? phonebook, sms, calendar, note, and the internal storage photos, etc...
thanks
You need to know which rom version you have been running, jb or ics. Then need to be able to boot into recovery. Then you need to have an sdcard so that you can load files on it using PC. If all yes, then you can download and put a suitable PhilZ kernel version, zip file matching your rom, into the sdcard. Then you can use stock recovery to flash that PhilZ kernel. Then you have a good chance to get your phobe working normally again. Else, more actions will be needed. Still, you should also read some sticky threads to learn how to manage custom rom, root,etc...

i'm a new on this so i need a guidance step by step....
i don't have to flash cwm recovery? just use original recovery can do the repair? now i'm on ICS, i already flash it to 4.1.2 and the menu still won't open up, i flash it back to 4.0.4 using odin, and still hang on samsung logo, i did this because i have another Note with 4.0.4 and i flash it to 4.1.2 the data inside the phone is still intact so i guess flashing it to another version did not touch the data section of the phone...
any suggestions to revive this set without factory reset using recovery ? actually i need the addressbook, sms, notes, besides the data on emmc...
