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.

So, I installed the GingerDX on my X8
It booted successfully
I rebooted my device, and started the CWM
I restored my data from CWM (backup and restore > advanced restore > restore data)
Then when I reboot, it froze at the bootanimation (after the SE logo)
And I have waited it for like 15 min
But still nothing happened
If I do full wipe, it will still work (I've tried already)
But I won't get back my data
SO, is there any way to get back my data from CWM and put it to the GingerDX ....?
The previous backup that you made using cwm was of gingerdx or it was some other rom..
If it was of the other rom then thats the problem.

maybe you restore in different kernel
ie : you're on B kernel, but you restore some backup from A kernel..
and you'll get stuck or md5 sum error..
when I got that prob, I just flash my X8 on A kernel and restore it
then flash the new kernel (B) and backup!
then factory reset, etc
Flash ROM
Well the exact same thing happened to me! What I did was boot into recovery , make a system backup, then install your kernel again then rom, then wipe dalvik cache. After that boot. Then after you have set everything up go back to recovery and advance restore only the data from when you couldn't boot, then boot again, I hope this helps!
You have to make a fresh start,that is the only way.eclair backed data doesnt like 2.2+

Full wipe and fresh start, You could also use titanium backup for app +data

I have been using Alliance Rom for about 3-4 months and there has been no problems so far.Last night i was browsing the internet and all of a sudden it restart and got stuck at the Gt-N7000 screen.Tried restarting the phone and rebooting it from recovery but failed.Is there a way to flash alliance rom again and still get my data back or do i have to wipe everything and flash alliance again?
My phone was bricked
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
If you flash alliance ROM again, without a wipe, the data will stay intact. And if you can enter recovery, the phone isn't in a brick for sure. In this case you can even take a nandroid backup and i advise you to do so ( take a backup in the backup and restore in recovery). Try flashing alliance again or else copy the data to your computer, I'm sure the phone is detected on the PC isn't it?!
I can enter recovery but do i have to wipe data before flashing alliance again?

Make a nandroid backup, wipe, flash rom again and after that you can restore apps and data from nandroid backup using Titanium Backup or other app with this functionality.
No, u can skip wiping data as you're reflashing the same ROM that you're currently running. But you ideally should wipe data for smooth functioning of the ROM, so you can also get a nandroid backup as i said and then restore the backup apps with titanium. Anyway just reflash the ROM without a wipe and it should work fine. Do check the alliance thread if they recommend a data wipe while installing the ROM everytime.

Do i have to do any formatting?
No formatting nothing whatsoever. There's never a need to format before flashing ROMs.

What i meant was formatting the preload,system and other stuff.Must i do that?
No need. Visit the thread on the Alliance ROM once and confirm
Actually u don't have to flash a new rom again if u have a sudden shut down n this is quite common nowadays
just simply go to recovery n do a backup if u afraid of losing ur data... after backup check is it successful backup
n then do a factory reset wait for 5 to 10mins once able to start up completely then go to recovery again n restore backup
choose advance restore n there will have some option ！choose restore data will do..
once u get used to it there's nothing difficult.. i'll suggest not to do any previous data restore n those
corrupted data will bring back the bootloop issue...

Well after i backup my data,i reboot recovery and check if it was a successfull backup.Fortunately it was.I factory reset my phone and switch it off immediately after it was done.The next day when i switch on my phone,the bootloop was gone!Waited for it to finish loading and once it booted up,i realised all my data was still there(my wodgets and apps)(Its a good thing for me).Its so weird because i remembered doing a factory reset the day before.Any idea what happened or how?

Sudden shut down most probably caused by high usage of RAM.
Bootloop might caused by maybe a 1yr old battery or different kernal, oc/uv n system task killer,flashing different rom
with backup n restore.
if u flash all the different developer's ROM in XDA n do a restore data u'll get ur answer "bootloop"
u can find philz fix bootloop but that's not really a solution.
try to uninstall unused app n unused system app to relase some RAM for heavy user.
when u flash different ROM try not restore backup data.
i don't think i can help much cuz we don't use the same ROM.
if u think ur ROM or Data still got issues u can test it by pulling out the battery during screen on.
pls don't try becuz i believe ur ROM n data not clean enough to take this action！
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.
My phone will currently not boot bast the CyanogenMod boot screen.
I flashed my phone several months ago to CM10.1 It was the update that patched the "masterkey" bug. I have been using it daily since then with no problems.
Today, I turn my phone on, and it just hangs at the boot animation.
There were no significant changes since the last time it was powered on. I think I installed McPixel from the humblebundle, and uninstalled a game from the playstore called Krog. No setting changes of any significance.
I've tried booting into safestrape and deleting both the cache and the dalvik cache, neither has helped. My stock rom still loads just fine, but i had factory reset it quite a while ago. I do have a backup of the rom from about 40 days ago i can try restoring, but i would love a more nondestructive way to fix this.
Try booting into safestrap, wiping system, cache, and dalvik, then reinstall the ROM and gapps.

0.o wouldn't that be a LOT more destructive than just restoring the old backup?

Nope. You are not wiping data so all your apps, setting, etc will still be there.
the data itself will remain if you just wipe the system, cache and dalvik cache but be sure to reinstall the latest stable build of CM and gapps for it

ah gotcha gotcha...
unfortunately it didn't work.
for troubleshooting's sake, i went ahead and made a backup of the rom in it's non-working state.
i restored my old backup, it boots just fine.
restored borked backup (tested it, still won't boot), wiped cache/dcache, wiped system, installed cm-10.2-20130821-NIGHTLY-maserati.zip and gapps 20130812, wiped cache/dcache again for good measure, then reboot and waited 10 minutes, still won't pass boot logo.
so i figure someting's wrong with Data right? so i rebooted to safestrap and did a factory restore, then wiped cache/dcache, and still won't boot.
so now i'm going at it the opposite direction. restoring the working backup, restoring just the data from the nonworking backup, then upgrading CM/Gapps
rebooting.. and....
blank screen with full backlight. not so much as a CM logo.
i guess for now i am going to restore back to the old backup, update the rom, and go about reconfiguring, unless anyone has any more suggestions?

Yeah, definitely sounds like something in /Data. Only other possible option I can think of would be to use Titanium Backup. It has an option to "Extract from Nandroid backup". It's under the "SPECIAL BACKUP/RESTORE" options. I've never used that option before so I have no idea how or if it would work but might be worth a shot.

wonderful idea, unfortunately TB crashes when i point it at either backup.
buuut i did find Nandroid Manager * ROOT which looks like it might be working.
if you really wanna see if it is the data or not have you tried to
flash 10.2 or whatever you started out with... then restore -just-
the data to the freshly flash system and then do a wipe of all
said caches... I do that sometimes to get a fresh start on my
os itself.. works pretty well. Just do not restore the cache just
the data part. Or restore with MD5 checking... if it doesn't check
out then you know for a fact that the data partition in that specific
nandroid isn't any good :/
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.
