Recover Samsung Galaxy Note

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 Know, but is what I say. In Galaxy S I can flash one bootloader (I miss this part) and after a kernel xP
If it don't exist to Galaxy Note I can't but if exist I can

Hi. I found a flashable speedmod on his original website and flash it. Now I'm in recovery flashing my old ROM. I will say the final result soon.

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.

Did i miss it, or did you actually say, why, you flashed a S2 rom on your 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.

[Q] I've bricked my phone- HELP! :C

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. I was able to go in DM and flash a new rom with my galaxy s plus

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.

i've flashed a different ROM in the mean time but it doesn't let me flash anything else anymore. that recovery mode is awful so i can only suggest no one uses simplicity rom

You need to flash a new firmware using odin, partition with 512 pit. Check this link for instructions and firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14273101

If you can go to recovery try wipe cache and if it doesnt work try wipe data but remember it deletes all apps!!

Don't worry, it is just a digestion problem (bootloop). CF-root doesn't work with every firmware. If yours wasn't compatible, bootloop is normal reaction. Check my last thread and there you can find step-by-by step guide how to unbrick it.

Great, mate- I'm glad it works again
CF-Root is made AMAIK for Gingerbread ROMs only, and if you have Froyo it is enough to flash SpeedMod root kernel that already features CWM recovery, Busybox and SU. You should always ready very carefully the first posts of the files you flash, so you will void many potential problems.
If you did it after my unbrick guide thread, backup your IMEI No as soon as you root your phone (described how to)
Just click "thanks" button beyond posts which were useful for you, it is our way to express it on this forum (and many us here are visiting the forum to help each other)

[Q] can't access recovery after CWM 4.0.0.9 flash - Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 -please help!

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

(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
