Hi people. By one mistake i've flashed a ROM to Samsung Galaxy SII on Samsung Galaxy Note. Now I need to recover it because I've not maked a backup (I know that was an big mistake). In Samsung Galaxy S I usually flash a good kernel with Odin and after that I flash a good ROM and it make the phone work with the old data but it don't was the binary counter like Samsung Galaxy Note. If I can't recover it without ODIN i think that I can buy a USB JIG for Note and put the binary counter to zero.
Any idea about what can I do?
thanks

OK, as long as you can get into Download Mode, we'll get you out of trouble.
Download this file.
Password : samfirmware.com
Extract the files from the zip in a folder on your PC. This is the Rom you're going to flash.
Then download Odin if you don't have it.
Then go to this post and follow the instructions to the letter. That's an easy guide for flashing Roms using Odin, with pictures and all. Your Rom belongs to
- If your downloaded ROM contains single file
part of instructions.
After flashing your phone, it will reboot. Sometimes your Note can get stuck in a bootloop at this point. If it happens, don't panic. Pull out your battery, wait for a bit, put it back. Put your phone into Recovery mode by pressing
Volume Up + Home + Power
Once in recovery, do a factory reset and reboot. Everything should be fine.
Once all this is done, you'll have a stock Rom. If you want to root it, tell me, and I'll walk you through.
Hope this helps.

Thank you. But with this file I just can flash an entire ROM and I go lost my data and that is a trouble to me :s
I need a flashable kernel with CWM just this. After that I will install my old ROM and recover my data and after this I will make a new clean install. This is what I make in Galaxy S and I hope it work on Galaxy Note.
I cant lose the data in my phone :s

When flashing SGSII Rom on Note you have ruined your bootloader, so I'm afraid there's no way you are going to get your old Rom back, sorry.

I realize what your saying here but the general consensus seems to be that separate flashing of various parts of the phone like a bootloader, radio, kernel, and ROM as individual items might not be a viable option on the Galaxy Note.

Hi
I am having samsung note 1 and it went to bootloop stage after updating some firmware. Is it possible to recover the data without loss. I didnt take any backup. Please help on this.. thanks
what rom are you on? If ics then flash a safe kernel using odin and boot into recovery mode CWM and do a nandroid backup. this will secure all your apps and data.. then do a data factory reset and get the phone working

Yo, any change you can share that flashable speedmod?
Because I'm having the same issue, although I followed the steps on ODIN. It just doesnt want to finalize the process.
The progress bar stopped moving after 95%-ish.

Are you really sure you have the identical situation here? Did you really flash a S2-Rom on your Galaxy Note?
If not open a new thread in Q&A and describe exactly what you did and what error messages you get in Odin.
okay so I thought bricking android would be complicated but as it turns out it's quite simple.
Please cut me some slack because I am a n00b at all this. I am already googling for a solution and looking on forums but I haven't found anything YET so after a desperate hour of googling I thought of posting here (I will keep on trying to find a solution though).
Here is what I did:
A long while ago I rooted my Galaxy S. Rom was ClockworkMod (recovery says ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5) and the kernel was Talon. No problem with this.
Now I wanted to do a factory reset so I dialed that number yo need for a factory reset. I got a red text message warning me NOT to touch any button and it would reboot. The phone rebooted and I think I got into the recovery mode.
The icon was a top cat in an orange circle with an arrow. I guess that's part of the Talon kernel.
Anyways on recovery mode screen I saw an option called "wipe/factory reset" I've selected it - I was told it can't be undone- I've said OK- It said everything went fine so I selected reboot.
Now the phone won't reboot. It is stuck in a loop. It will always try to reboot.
So all I see is a GALAXY S i9000 screen followed by a Talos screen with a loading bar followed by the GALAXY S i9000 screen again and it will just loop.
No idea what to do :C
help, please! thanks a million everyone!
Try flash the talon kernel again or if u got a rom on your SD card flash that.
If this doesn't work.search for ezbase 3.0 and follow instructions on how to flash a rom with ODIN.
U can also find ezbase on "insanity rom" thread in the op(1 of the links)
And now your phone is recovered

well I've tried to put an update.zip on the internal storage of the phone because I don't have an external SD card.
I mounted the phone as mass storage device in the recovery mode but my win xp 32 bit would say it is a Samsung Galaxy S but there was an error with the new hard ware and it couldn't be mounted fff
so no idea what to do now?
This is normal, you delated youre whole System. First of all dont panik you able to enter ist downloadmode ? If so, than you'll bei able to install a new rom and you will be able to boot I'm also New here had the same problem with my phone. This is called a soft-brick.

yeh i guess i did a soft brick. So what exactly do I do now?
I have managed to copy an update.zip file I've found on my computer to the phone but the download mode gives me an error and says it can't install it.
Can you link me to the files I need to install on it with the help of the download mode? Thanks a lot
so I have already tried installing different roms which seemed to have worked fine
I have tried just any random rom (Simplicity) I could find on this forum. It installed but I am still stuck in a boot loop. I don't see the Talon graphic anymore but the Galaxy S animation but I am still stuck in a loop.

2.) upd_1
As instructed on tutorial guide... first i installed clockwork 5.... its done without any errors.... after that i tried "upd_1", which aborted installation with some "(status 7)" error..... after that i rebooted cell and gone for factory reset..... after that my ace got stucked up on boot loop screen.... cant go any furthur..... same step repeats many many times..... but no result......

Status 7 error relates to errors in updater script,it should not have been ignored like that.Furthermore,upd_1.zip is a root package for GB roms,not ICS roms,so wrong bin file there.Can you get to download mode? Or,atleast recovery?
Same problem
Hi I have the same problem just keeps cycling through the Samsung boot screen on a loop. I can get into Download mode and also I can boot into recovery. I downloaded a stock rom S5830XWKPN_S5830SWKP6_S5830XEUKP1_HOME Then I used odin 4.38 and clicked on OPS and used cooper_v1.0.ops and then clicked on one package and clicked on the zip of the stock rom I downloaded. Everything seemed to go well, but then the phone got stuck on this loop of the Samsung boot screen. I hope that you can help please.

hmmm I think he's still in GB. I think he means he's trying to prepare his ace to flash ICS rom cause obviously you can't flash ICS with stock recovery.
as for the op... try using stock recovery and flash upd_1? thats what I did.

Make a wipe in standart or full wipe in custom and flash again with odin! It will surely help

i fixed my phone i kept on having boot loops after falshing single packing so i turned the phone off then hold power and home till you come to recovery option wipe cache and i think its factory reset or full wipe so do both wipes then reboot phone WALA my phone was working hope this helps and dont forget to tick thanks button :good:
boot loop with other issues too...
hi there guys. I'm new to this forum and also to flashing...
but anyways I had a good look before flashing my phone but still messed it up...silly me
I tried rooting my phone via SD card(first clockwork mod ace 4 followed by clockwork mod 5 as said in tutorial) then upd_1 and then cm9. But after installing clockwork mod ace 4 I get :" E: failed to mount/ system (invalid argument)" same happens when trying to wipe cache partition/ data/ factory reset.
I can get into android system recovery no problems and also into odin download mode (where it gives you the warning and prompts you to press volume up if you still want to continue. It is also stuck on the samsung screen if I don't press anything.
But when trying to connect the phone to odin in order to rectify what I've done (with the one package methode, either gingerbread or cmw9) odin won't detect my phone. I used several different cables, original samsung cables, changed usb ports (directly off the motherboard) but to no avail.
heimdall will recognise the phone as far as I can see (when you click on detect device it says: "device detected") but I cannot find the right files I need to use for heimdall. I would very much appreciate any help and advice. Please point me in the right direction, show me where to download the correct files and which ones and please bear in mind I'm a noob. put it as plain as bread for me please :good:
just flash clockworkmod 5 and format system and data...
do a complete wipe ...clear cache,, wipe dalvik
then mount system and data and install any of ur modded stock or cm7... enjoy
---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------
many roms are pre rooted plus u dont need rooot access to flash rom
to flash CustomROM u dont need to root first our ace simply flash CWM 5 and put your CustomROM flashable .zip to your sdcard and then fullwipe (data,cache,advantage) and done.....
most of CustomROM now can directly flash from previous or Other CustomROM without flash to StockROM first..

It changes everything. 5830 is completely different from 5830i (they only share the name). Roms and mods for 5830 might brick your phone, so be careful.

Hi!
I have a Galaxy Ace GT-S5389i and I didn't found any post who say how to change the rom or change the recovery to a clockwork !
I try the clockwork recovery 5 but it failed.
Can I install a different recovery and then a custom ROM or that's not possible for my phone ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.
Hello!
This guide should help : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552792
The only custom rom avaliable for now is rajrock's, there are other groups developing, let's wait, but DO NOT flash S5830 roms in your device, the hardware is different and it may brick your phone.
Ok, thank you, so I must wait !

If you ask me, dont flash any ROM just yet even the rajrocks razodroid Rom bricked my phone and im using the S5839i.... Wait until someone releases a ROM specifically for the phone! For some people It works and I dont understand how, maybe they used a different kernel.

Now when I turn on my phone, I hangs on the Samsung logo, and if I turn it off, it restarts all by itself.

Just wait till there are roms that are confirmed for 100% before you do anything!
This is the S5830 thread, please ask for it in the correct section
You'll brick you device if you use S5830's ROMS or whatever from the incorrect device to your device

Hi everyone,
I'm new so please be gentle with me -
Have just rooted my Galaxy GT-S5830
Running Gingerbread 2.3.4,
Baseband S5830BVKQB,
Kernel version [email protected]#1,
Build number GINGERBREAD.BVKQ9
using the file for the GT-S5830 from here: ( http://dengadgets.blogspot.co.uk/201...smarphone.html - root_S5830.zip) successfully, copying it to the root folder of the SD card and flashing it from recovery.
I Then tried to flash CWM 4.0.0.9 using the same method (which I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1168417 )
Now when I try and reboot in recovery it crashes at the Galaxy Ace screen, otherwise boots fine, and download mode still accessible - not sure why and am unsure about what to do about it. From reading a fair few Q+A posts I think I might need to flash the phone with stock rom using odin, but:
If I do will that wipe my data? (I have data on the phone that I really don't want to lose, particularly on memo - also can't backup on kies as support say the phone is too old and doesn't have that function available - backing it up is one of the main reasons why i'm going through this in the first place...)
Is there another way if it would wipe the data?
How do I avoid getting back in the same mess when flashing CWM?
If I do flash a stock rom / firmware with odin, does it have to be the one that was on there originally [France (Orange)] or can I use the latest UK one (with Gingerbread 2.3.5)?
I really apologise if this has been answered many times - i can't find it but would be grateful to anyone that can help / point me in the right direction

using the file for the GT-S5830 from here: ( http://dengadgets.blogspot.co.uk/201...smarphone.html - root_S5830.zip) successfully, copying it to the root folder of the SD card and flashing it from recovery.
I Then tried to flash CWM 4.0.0.9 using the same method (which I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1168417 )
Now when I try and reboot in recovery it crashes at the Galaxy Ace screen, otherwise boots fine, and download mode still accessible - not sure why and am unsure about what to do about it. From reading a fair few Q+A posts I think I might need to flash the phone with stock rom using odin, but:
If I do will that wipe my data? (I have data on the phone that I really don't want to lose, particularly on memo - also can't backup on kies as support say the phone is too old and doesn't have that function available - backing it up is one of the main reasons why i'm going through this in the first place...)
Is there another way if it would wipe the data?
How do I avoid getting back in the same mess when flashing CWM?
If I do flash a stock rom / firmware with odin, does it have to be the one that was on there originally [France (Orange)] or can I use the latest UK one (with Gingerbread 2.3.5)?
I really apologise if this has been answered many times - i can't find it but would be grateful to anyone that can help / point me in the right direction

Well Download Flashify and Download The Compatible CWM for SGA or Cooper.
It must be the .img file
open the app n choose .img file hit Flash and Reboot.
U Have Probably Crashed your Recovery or flashed incompatible version
