Download JB firmware for you phone and install it with Odin, like you did that kernel. That kernel is for Gingerbread, that's why you get that problem. It will be fixed. Btw we do not have Odin flashable kernel with TWRP, that's how I know it was for GB. New time download CoCore for JB and unpack it. Use kernel.bin.md5 to install it with Univeral kernel flash app and some root explorer. You need to root it first with Shaaan's method.

[Q] Bootloop problem

I am just about to throw my phone at the wall.
So I was on stock 2.3.3 and decided I wanted to update to ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096
I didn't have clockwork mod and wasn't rooted so I eventually got this working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Then I tried to install the ICS rom but it wouldn't work. I then tried to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353657 which for some reason didnt have any cell phone coverage.
I tried going back to the just rooted version of 2.3.3 but haven't been able to get the phone to go past the samsung logo / Clockwork Recovery.
Edit: Whenever I try flash the 2.3.3 rooted rom it updates me to Clockwork Mod Recovery v3.0.0.5 with HEAPS of errors.
Any ideas?
You should go back to a stock rom via Odin...you will need a rom that has 3 files (csc , modem, phone) and the Odin 512 .pit file and check the repartition box.

stuck in Samsung logo just mean you need to just fullwipe factory in CMW. but be sure you are on safe kernel such as Speedmode or Hydracore before wiping.. i dont know if xxls2 kernel is brick free or not. but stucking at samsung logo has always been solved by fullwipe factory in my case

It takes some time to boot up after you flash a rom..just wait for few minutes and see if it boots up
And how did you flash the rom..i mean what rom,kernel and did you do the wipes

that is correct. takes times. but if you waited more than 10 minutes try flashing other rom.. safest method is pc odin.

tell us how you flash it. via PC ODIN or ClockWorkMOD.?
as for the kernel if you have Extrnal sdcard then download SpeedMod 3-15 or Hydracore kernel than put that in your external Sdcard. Open CMW than flash the kernel then go to advance>reboot recovery.. wait for recovery rebooted than you are safe to flash other rom.

since you flash through PC ODIN means everything is stocked. Means the brick bug is present. you now only have samsung stock recovery and not ClockWorkMod.
if you are planning to install just Samsung Stock Rom then this step is applicable here

From where did you download the rom..it it was downloaded from sammobile or from that hotfile link,then you should flash it through pc odin
And if its a custom rom that you downloaded from the xda,then it should be flashed through cwm
the Sam mobile and the hot link are the same. youncan flash the rom using pc odin. but before that put the philz kernel xxls2 in the external sd. so that after the flash using odin, you can boot into recovery and flash that kernel and be safe and do the wipe.

Gents, Can you please clarify before I am going to do below. And advise if this is the proper way.
• Flash GB (2.3.6) and wipe
• Then flash ICS (4.0.4)
• Download Notecore (or Speedmod, CF root kernel) kernel and flash by PC-Odin
• Then copy N7000XXLS2 (LEAK) to SD card.
• Boot to CWM recovery, then flash from SD, restart.
Thanks.

If you can't get into recovery, flash the firmware again using odin and then do the procedure again using zip file xxlsa philz kernel.
Rooting N7000XXLSA (4.1.2)
I installed the ROM over my stock ICS 4.0.4 N7000ODDLR4 usin PC Odin 3.
An advice I can give is, after and before installation, always do a factory reset from recovery mode! Otherwise I myself and lot of others had experienced some bugs due on data from previous OS files.
For rooting, I loaded Clockwork Recovery Mod 6.0.1.2 and used SuperSU from Chainfire to gain root access. No mishap for me, as I didnt get any trouble loading to 'recovery mode'
Now the JB 4.1.2 on my Note N7000 is rooted and open for me!!
Hope this helps somewhat.
P.S. the SuperUser which I used to root 4.0.4 didnt work on this 4.1.2
And I 'didnt' do any kernal change as I have no idea how to do what with kernal, except its use. :laugh:

In XDA developers forum you'll find everything because it has a clear structure of subforums and a fantastic search engine.
One more hint: you are already in one of the subforums you'll need - you'll only have to go one step up and use the two round things near your nose.

Yes. Download philz kernel (zip file) go to recovery flash the zip file. Go back to recovery do the wipes. Download XXLT4 or XXLT5 and put the phone into download mode and flash XXLT4 or 5 using Odin. Once successfull, flash philz kernel again from recovery, you will have root and custom recovery.

We do not have to unlock bootloader.
Install CoCore kernel, you will get custom recovery. And install ROM with it.
1. ROOT.
2. CoCore.
For first install of CoCore do this: Install Universal kernel flash, and some explorer with root permissions like Root explorer or ES file explorer. Download CoCore zip, unpack it and use kernel.bin.md5 file with Universal kernel flash. After that you will get CWM or TWRP (depends what CoCore version you choose). From that part you can change kernel by installing its zip from recovery.
3. Download JB custom ROM, copy to phone - and install it from recovery.

Yeah just like shut_down says above..we do not have to unlock bootloader. We can just flash the firmware. Sorry for the confusion.
This guide will help you with the whole process of upgrading and installing custom roms.

Install CoCore kernel, you will get custom recovery. And install ROM with it.

You do not need to do it again, but you could. Because there are some other files in that zip - and those are not being installed with Universal kernel flash.

When you flash stock JB firmware (not ROM) you get all stock, ready to pass warranty.
If you want to go to GB, you need to follow guide how to do that. Because you will get bootloop if you just flash GB from Sammobile.

Firmware is untouched system, for flashing with Odin. And ROM is modded files that can be installed with custom recovery. In short.
