Hi, few days ago I tried to flash CM11 and was disappointed with the no signal / no IMEI / no SIM problem...
I found a solution that worked perfectly for me :
1) Download and install latest recommended CWM recovery 6.0.4.5, easy to find on XDA
2) Download the latest 4.1 (not 4.3 or you will be stuck with KNOX security) firmware (on Sammobile for example).
3) Download latest CM11 nightly (and/or Paranoid GAPPS if you want them...) and copy the archive files on your SD Card then remove the SD Card from your phone.
4) Download latest modem for GT-I9305 (XXUEMK1).
5) Reboot in Download mode and flash CMW Recovery using Odin, Heimdall (tutorials on XDA...).
6) Reboot into CWM Recovery.
7) Wipe EVERY partition including those in "mounts and storage" section.
8) Reboot in Download mode.
9) Extract the downloaded Samsung package and flash the .tar.md5 file using Odin, Heimdall.
10) Reboot again in Download mode.
11) Flash the latest downloaded modem with Odin or Heimdall.
12) Power off your phone and then put back your SD Card with archive files on it.
13) Boot into CWM Recovery and do a Wipe Data/Factory reset and wipe /system partition in "mounts and storage" section then flash your archive files.
14) Reboot normally.
15) Enjoy.
All of these steps may not be necessary, you may just have to flash the latest ClockworkMod Recovery, wipe everything and try again to flash your CM11 ROM. But this is to be sure that the problem does not comes from somewhere else by restoring the phone at its factory state.
I know this is very long, but I think you could have broken some partitions with previous flashes, this guide helps you to repair bad things and you should flash all 4.4.x stuff using the latest ClockworkMod Recovery version.
I hope this will work for you guys, send feedbacks !

search for 20o patched bin and fls files and flash them with smartflash and from there flash any ROM you like.
CM9 is not suitable as an everyday rom, try another one, personally I will recommend you CM7 or Zeus(thou I dont know if the have LTR support).
In face I rooted it by unlock root before then I flashed the cm9
I detected the errors then I re-flashed the stock rom with smart flash tool
but now I want to root again I can't
why???
also is cm7 stable and can I download it from cm website directly or where can I download it??
is cm7 supports rtl support(especially arabic)??
Is cm7 have thread in this forum??
Patched v20o comes with cwm recovery so from there you can flash any rom, yes you should.always get cm from official site or look for temasek kang in general forum.

Hello,
I'm not gonna panic, as I think Ive not bricked my phone YET.
Here is what I have done, I have a GALAXY S I9000.
Have been using it for quite some time now. 2 years ago, I have flashed it with - hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery - using Odin.
Today I decided to give Cyanogenmod a go, followed the steps here. - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
Since I have the hardoce's kernel, I skipped this Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery - and moved on to - Flashing CyanogenMod.
I will go step by step from here.
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the internal memory.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the internal memory also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
done these, no problem so far.
[*]Select Choose zip from sdcard.
when I chose this, phone rebooted, it was so fast something may have come up and I didnt see.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop:
- Galaxy S I9000 samsung screen comes up, goes away for a second, comes up again.
- A page with code appearing from the bottom comes up really fast ( logo in the middle changes quickly) then it disappears.
- whole thing starts again.
UPDATE: I got a picture of the fast screen that comes up. : http://localhostr.com/files/b5NzFRy/2012-08-27 05.07.32.jpg
Some observations.
- I can go into download mode when opening it with the key combo.
- loop only stops when I unplug the battery
I need advice on what caused this and how to fix this, please help me.

are you not able to get into recovery? If only download than you need to get back to GB and than do a progressive update from GB to ICS to JB
Flash it again. From what I've heard, it only flashes the kernel the first time.
I had the same problem today with CM7 today. Just reboot in recovery and flash again cm zip, form there on everything is gonna run smooth!

Hi,
I had the same pb coming from a GB
I think this pb is very common
1) DON'T WORRY !
2) Unplug the battery when bootlooping
3) Put the SGS in Recovery Mode (the CWM's version has changed)
4) Select the CM .zip and flash it AGAIN
5) When it's done, reboot system
This time, everything shoot be OK
Just be carefull with your IMEI (always have a backup of EFS folder !)

Thanks!, this method worked a treat :highfive:
Anyone have a trick yet for CM 10.1 v.22 Nightly, I keep getting a bootloop on all their versions except the original one. This is so frustrating because I have to keep going back to stock and then update to ICS.

Same here, after the Samsung and CM logos, and splash animation, it says :
"Encryption unsuccessful.
Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible.
To resume using your phone, you must perform a factory reset...."
After I tap Reset phone, it goes to CWM recovery.
Do the factory reset and the same thing occured in loop.
I came from JVU and CF root.

How long should the first boot take after following these steps? And does it have to be from SDCARD, because I can't get the rom onto my sd card, I can only do it via usb otg cable

Hi guys, just got a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 dirty cheap from Hong Kong, and using it now in the states. I am a huge fan of rooting/flashing and stuff, so I decided to give myself a little test and see how long I can keep this phone stock. I lasted two days...haha.
So, I set out to see how to root this thing. After reading thread after thread, I learned about the wipe brick bug on stock Samsung kernels.
Now here's my question:
I want to use method 1A (to be safe) using this guide here, and it led me to this thread. Now here's where I get confused. Which kernel am I supposed to download and flash?
My Stock ROM system info (remember, this is from Hong Kong)
Model Number:
GT-N7000
Android Version:
4.0.3
Baseband Version:
N7000XXLR1
Kernel Version:
3.0.15-N7000ZSLPF-CL558440
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT Tue May 15 15:39:39 KST 2012
Build Number:
IML74K.ZSLPF
Any for of enlightenment is greatly appreciated, thanks guys!
The easiest is flash a safe custom kernel that will be safe to wipe, provides root access, and has Clockworkmod Recovery. Below is how I setup my phone to flash Paranoidandroid. I started with a stock N7000XXLRT rom. I did install and run Triangle Away to later to remove the yellow triangle counter warning on boot. Largely cosmetic. Please check wikis of this speedmod kernel supports ICS 4.0.3.
If all you want is root and a safe kernel then you end with step 3 and apply Triangle Away.
1. Begin with a stock ICS rom on your Note.
2. Use Odin on the PC,select PDA, and flash speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar with usb cable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673072
3. After flashing speedmod kernel you will have root access, and a custom Clockworkmod Recovery in which to flash custom roms.
4. Get Paranoidandroid zip and Gapps zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713 . Copy the Paranoidandroid and Gapps zip files on your phone's internal sd card.
5. Backup efs folder just to be sure. Use kTool from Google Play or manually copy the EFS folder with Explorer+ also from Google Play. Copy the files to your pc.
6. Press power button, select reboot, reboot into recovery and go to backup and restore section and create a backup. Select go back and reboot.
6. Reboot into recovery (Clockworkmod Recovery) wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache (advanced).
7. From recovery, select install from zip from sd card. Select choose zip from internal sdcard. Select the Paranoid rom zip and flash. Do the same to flash Gapps zip. Go back and reboot.
*When flashing nightlies, no need to wipe cache, data, and dalvik. But install Gapps zip again in Recovery. You will need to set up your Google account again.

Thanks. So it doesn't matter that I am on Stock Samsung ICS ROM from Hong Kong?
And also, what version of Odin do I use, or does it not matter?
Yes. HK rom pretty much is the same kernel with local enhancements. The XXLR1 seems to be German or European. It should be ok. Again please verify if the speedmod kernel works with ICS 4.0.3. The site says ICS so I think it does.
I used Odin3-v1.85.zip. Make sure you have an excellent usb cable. Test the rig by copying large files between your pc and the Note internal sdcard.
These are the problems. I did a clean flash and cleared the cache partition, and did a factory reset.
1. No notifications appear at all. Even when I have incoming mail and so on, no new notifications appear in the main bar. I only know things are happening when I check individual apps.
2. I have no settings tiles at all in the pull down quick settings. How do I add to this?
3. The default browser cannot be used. When I click on the icon, it opens to a blank screen and closes within half a second. It never stays open.
4. I can't boot into recovery at all. I've installed clockworkmod via Rom manager, but I cannot boot into it, nor can I use the volume up+home+power combo to reach it.
5. The home button doesn't respond at all.
Can anyone help?
Try booting into download mode and flash a stock rom via odin.
1) take titanium backup of the apps
2) copy internal SD data to PC
3) download KK kernel depending on what recovery you want i.e bauner kernel for cm/kitkat for cwm recovery and raw kernel for twrp.
4) download Odin format kernel (.tar) from bauners kernel thread (its the kernel for touchwiz jb) and keep it on PC.
3) download a different ROM and transfer with the desired kernel to SD card and external SD.
[ we are transferring it to both SD cards in case you are not able to boot to recovery and may have to flash a whole ROM to get it back ]
8) power off and put in download mode by pressing power+home+volume down
9) connect to computer and open Odin and select the tar file i.e the bauner jb kernel in PDA and flash, it will show kernel and successful.
10) once you see the galaxy note logo with yellow triangle remove the battery and don't let the device boot into ROM.
11) put the battery back and boot the device into recovery by power+home+ volume up. if it doesn't boot into recovery then try again.
12) once you are in recovery flash the KK kernel.
13) do factory data reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache and format system.
14) flash a ROM other than PA and gapps if required.
15) reboot
16) use triangle away app to get rid of the flash counter and triangle
these are the steps I followed and was able to successfully flash ROM without losing any data.
follow only if you know what you are doing. I am not responsible if you lose data or mess up your device.
Hope it helps
thank you very much
