[Q] GT-N7000 stuck on samsung logo [SOLVED] - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all. Had this phone for a while. All of a sudden after a routine poweroff (cuz I was flying), it refuses to boot up and is stuck on the flashing samsung text. Running the official ICS rom. No flashes/hacks/anything exciting ever done with this phone.
After a few browses at the topics here, I found out that I can access recovery mode (vol up + home + power). It shows the following message:
#MANUAL MODE#
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : INV
Successfully applied multi- CSC
Can anyone help me out here?

First and foremost before you do anything flash a custom kernel which will stop the brick bug from happening:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Once that is done, do a data wipe in recovery mode. If it doesn't boot then you will have to reflash (a custom ROM or using download mode to flash an official ROM).

Many thanks for the reply. Just a few questions before I jump into it though...does the custom kernel do anything else besides safeguard from bricking? (I'm referring to not being able to access google services and the like)
Next - if I do a data wipe, doesnt that mean that all the data (pics, contacts, sms) will go? Would there be a way to preserve these?
Sorry I do realize these are really green questions...never had a problem with this phone before and never tried experiementing

The custom kernel will stop the brick bug from happening and it will give you a custom recovery, If you have a custom recovery then you can flash other custom ROMs. You won't be limited in any way whatsoever.

I think that if you do it on the stock recovery (the one you have now) then it will remove everything: 3rd party apps, pictures, contacts, smses, settings etc. If however you do it on philz then it will remove your installed apps, settings, smses, contacs, call logs etc. BUT it will not remove all the files on your sd card (pictures and other files).

No problem, better to be safe and sure than having a bricked phone
Also, I read where the smses and call logs are stored (but not the contacts):
mmssms.db (messages and mms data bases)
telephony.db (this one contains call logs)
They are located in:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
You could use ADB or something simpler (if you have that custom recovery I linked earlier) - aroma file manager:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
Then you can copy those files to your sd card.
Also, chances are your contacts are on google: https://www.google.com/contacts/
And also if you reflash and sign into your google account at startup then you may be able to restore your apps (but without the settings to them).
Let me know if you're unsure about anything.

The Custom kernel have a lot of useful tools besides safeguarding from bricking.. It wont interfere with accessing google services and all that..
If you do a factory reset, it will wipe you user account data ( i.e only contacts, sms and installed apps ) and it wont wipe your pics, songs etc.. When i first installed a custom Rom i imported all my contacts from sd card and when it asked me for a location to save contacts, i selected my google account. That way all my contacts are always synced and saved in google.. So whenever you flash a Rom and enter you phone, it will ask you google account to begin with and the contacts will be automatically synced to your phone!
If you are a starter and interested in Rooting and Flashing Custom Roms i would recommend reading Dr.Ketan's guide.
Dr.ketan's Rooting guide :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360. Try the ercommended method 1A.. It will install custom kernel and as well as root your phone!
Enjoy and Happy Flashing

On it...many thanks! The rooting though seems to have the effect of removing google play and other services (SNote for example). I read that its possible to get play/youtube/gmail back, but what about the other 3rd party apps?

That clarified a bit indeed! Unfortunately, my google contacts are filled with miscellaneous emails and no phone numbers...I should really get on top of making better backups.
Question #3: [EDIT] looks like the original ROM was DDLSC...trying for the same here.
Question #4: It seems one can run a backup directly from PhilZ. Shall I try that out before wiping everything into oblivion?

First of all, rotting doesn't remove or effect of removing google play.. S-Note, S planner and other samsung apps will work only if you are flashing a Touchwiz based Rom.. Those apps wont work in CM, PA and AOKP Roms cuz they need TW framework to work with!
If you are thinking of flashing of TW based Roms, i would recommend 2 Roms to take a look at..
X-Rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320871&nocache=1 ) This is the Rom, i am currently using.. It will give your phone a tablet UI, thus taking advantage of your Note's large real estate screen! .. Multi window, floating window and buttery smooth and lots of features!
You can also check out the Note 8 Apps ported to our galaxy note N7000, if you are interested.. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217662 )
Arya Mod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575767 ) This is also a great Rom and cool icons and themes!
vipster said:
Question #3: the link asks me to choose a kernel. Can this be random choice or does it mean much?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First go to that rooting guide and root using the 1A method. It will give you philz kernel.. Then install one of the Rom Above! ( If you want a TW Roms that is )..
Then if after flashing a TW based Roms, flash this kernel to get a amazing and battery life ! It makes the ROM buttery smooth too ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638337 )
Note that this rom only works with 4.1.2 JB Roms and Most TW Roms are 4.1.2 JB anyways!

To install stock Roms check this guide by Dr.ketan ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 )
NOTE:- Just make sure you select Normal method, when you open the Supersu and its asks you to update Supersu binaries..

So finally solved! Thanks heaps to CustomRomAddicts and XxPixX for the help!
Just for anyone else stuck in the same boat:
Problem: Phone won't boot, stuck at the flashing samsung logo.
Tried and didn't work: remove sim, remove memory card, different battery, on charge, off charge.
Solution:1) Installed Philz kernel (found the kernel I require by looking at the stock rom code...mine was DDLSC) on my external SD. You can find this out by looking at the stock roms downloads on Dr. Ketan's page and finding out where you got your phone from in the first place (assuming it wasn't parallel imported).
2) Put the external SD back in, go into recovery mode (vol up+home+power), backup whatever I require (which in my case was a full backup).
3) Factory reset. (Mine did not delete the pictures, songs etc. It did delete all contacts, sms, call logs, applications, settings and updates).

[Q] Questions from someone on the verge of Flashing (Cognition 3.02)

Hey all,
So I'm am effing fed UP with Samsung. My Captivate is a hardware powerhouse, and with the stock Eclair firmware and all their bloatware, it's laggy, bogged down, and just not the device I wish it was. And with the talks that the Galaxy S phones are virtually unbrickable, I have decided to seriously consider ROOTing my phone and flashing the Cognition 3.02 ROM. I have watched a lot of videos, done my research, but I still have a few lingering questions for those of you out there who have recently flashed this ROM, preferably for those of you that this is the first or near-first ROM you've flashed. I know how the process works, but some specifics are bugging me and holding me back.
Ok, so I've listed some of my major questions below. Feel free to answer some or all of them if you've got the time, or DM me if that's easier. lf I think of any other Qs I have I'll post them in subsequent replies.
1. First and foremost, what process did you use to root and flash cognition on your Captivate? I've been looking at the MobileTechVideos three part tutorial on youtube which most people seem to recommend. Is this what you used? Was it as easy as simply following the instructions word-for-word? Did you run into any problems along the way?
2. I know to use Titanium Backup to backup my apps and stuff, but I've read a lot of places that I should only use it to restore those apps, and not to backup and restore user data like settings and contacts. How did you do it? My major concerns are about my contacts/phone book, which I have synced to my google account, but I also have syncs to my facebook and twitter accounts, and my phonebook is nicely linked and everything across all three. I'm afraid to forfeit this organization, so I just want to know that I'll be able to get everything back the way it was without too much trouble. I know you can export your contacts to your SD cards, and I could presumably import them from their after flashing, but I just want to be clear on how that all works.
3. Do you use your phone as a digital music player? I do, and I use iSyncr to sync it to my iTunes. If you do as well, did flashing screw any of this up? Playlists, etc? Will I need to re-sync or will it all be there once the phone scans my external SD (which wont be wiped since I'll remove it beforehand)?
4. In your first few days of use, what are the biggest improvements you see in the Cognition ROM as far as daily use is concerned over the stock firmware? Any problems you've come across? What's the selling points here, in layman's terms.
5. Do you have any regrets about flashing?
Thanks guys, and any other advice you think would be helpful that wouldn't come under any of the questions would also be GREATLY appreciated.
4. No problems for me. Phone is smoother and faster now.
5. Not at all.

1. manually rooting is overrated. most, if not all, custom roms automatically root your phone for you, so there really is no need for you to do it yourself. except the first time: root your phone using the one click since it's simple, grab rom manager from the market and use it to download an update.zip containing clockworkmod recovery for the captivate and leave that update.zip on your phone and never change it or delete it. it makes flashing new roms so much easier and there is really no need to ever remove or change it. boot into recovery, reinstall packages twice, install zip from sd card, and pick your rom. also, you will never need to use rom manager again unless you lose that update.zip.
2. I use titanium backup in batch mode (hit the menu softkey and hit batch). click backup all user apps and system data, but uncheck everything that is in red text, therefore backing up only things in green text (useful system settings, contacts, calendar, messages, etc) and white text (user installed apps). then run batch operation. install new rom, use batch to restore all missing apps and system data. to re-backup newer settings, app data, or updated apps, use backup all new apps and newer versions, and then either redo old backups or forced redo of all backups.
3. yes, but I just copy and paste my music files over instead of syncing them. also your internal sd is never wiped unless you use master clear on odin, which I have never done, nor do i ever wish to, because in my opinion there is no reason to. therefore both your playlists and your music would not be wiped whether you put them on the internal or external sd. (unless of course, you decide to use master clear)
4 & 5. I agree with faroid.
Be sure you have the correct odin set up and recognizing your phone on your pc. Eventually you will need to use it for one reason or another. The most common is the odin3 one click jf6 but some newer builds cannot be flashed to firmware older than jh2.
1. To root i use one click root/ unroot vary simple plug in and press root then install clockwork recovery from the market its free with clockwork recovery you can flash your cognition

Did you use the full MobileTechVideos method when your phone got bricked? Or did you flash without reflashing to stock and wiping everything?

So how do I know which one I should use? Is it based on the ROM I flash, or my hardware (Captivate)?
Which odin stock firmware is based on the build (four digit number under battery such as 1006) and what version your phone came with when new, such as jf6 or jh7.

Do you by chance know which one I'd need off hand? I'm at work and don't feel like pulling my phone apart, but I can tell you that I bought my Captivate the day it came out, so presumably it came with the oldest firmware the Captivate ever came packaged with.
1. No need to root. That's an extra step you don't need. My method, get the update.zip for clockwork mod, just search the Dev section, no need to even install Rom Manager or anything. Take that update.zip and put it on the root of your internal SDcard (just the normal phone storage, not an external SD. Then using adb or button method reboot into recovery, choose reinstall packages. The phone reboots into stock recovery. Choose reinstall packages again and this time you get Clockwork. Wipe data, install zip from SD, choose zip file, pick Cog, install and done.
2. I use titanium for user apps only, ie, things I got from market. All my contacts are synced with google, so once I add my google info under accounts they are back. Sorry, i don't mess with facebook or twitter so i can't answer that. As far as settings, you just have to manually do that, ie, ringtones, wireless networks, etc.
3. Yes I do. And I also use iSyncr. No problems whatsoever. As long as you don't do a MasterClear. That option under Odin will wipe your internal SDcard also. The Wipe Data under Clockwork recovery just wipes out installed apps and settings but leaves your internal SD intact.
4. Honestly, it's just a much better experience overall. The phone is faster, smoother, and more responsive. Plus DG has taken the liberty of removing all the ATT crap and un-needed apps.
5. Not one.
My only advice would be to "be prepared". My sure you have button recovery available ahead of time. Check your Rev version of phone, ie, the date under the battery. It seems newer Revs require a different version of stock Odin One-click. Some people have had issues running the original One-click. If you have any doubts about your phones ability to go to download mode, in case you need to go back to stock, spend the $1 on building a USB Jig.
You will find that flashing is easy. Recovering from unexpected errors can be easy if you are prepared.

So do I not need to be rooted to use Ti-BU? I thought I saw that under the product description in the marketplace.
Also, under #1, when you say "Wipe Data" you are referring to an option in the Clockwork Recovery menu, not an Odin MasterClear, right? Will this wipe my internal SD?
If you got the phone on release you likely have a 1006 build with working 3 button recovery and can safely use the odin3 one click jf6.
Sent from my Liquid Metal using XDA App
TiBu needs root. I rooted using one click, then backed up user apps and data (used built in contact export to save contacts and smsbackup for texts).
Then I just ran the update.zip for CWR and flashed Cog - was my first flash too and pretty painless. TiBu returns your apps as if you never changed them.
Make sure you can access recovery and dl mode though.

Sorry, forgot you would want to backup before installing a new ROM. Yes, to use Tibu on your current ROM you will need root.
As for wipe data, yes it's a clockwork option. Like I said in #3 wipe data just removes user installed apps, and changes all settings to stock, but all data on your internal store will stay there, pics, music, etc.
Master Clear is the Odin option, which I never use by the way, that will completely delete everything on your internal SD, bye bye music, pics, etc.
This is all EXTREMELY helpful by the way.
Quick question about USB Jigs--is it easy to build one myself or should I splurge on the ~$15 one MobileTechVideos sells? There's seems pretty fancy, and I can't afford to be phoneless as I putz around trying to jimmy myself a jig.
I can't speak from experience but there's a thread here in QA that makes it seem easy. Just get 3 x 100kohm resistors, wire them in series, twist it to look like a horseshoe, there you go. If you have a radioshack or other electronics store near you it's worth a shot. Like I said, I think all 3 resistors cost may $1 total. You can also test it on your phone to make sure. Touch the jig to the 2 leads, if it goes into download mode instantly you did it right. Pull battery and reboot and all is well.

Yeah I saw that thread, I'll have to try my hand at it before I do this process. Better safe than sorry. Thanks.
Ok, so, the plan = build working jig and DL proper Odin just in case, one-click root, Ti-BU, move clockwork update.zip and cognition zips to my root folder, reboot in recovery, reinstall packages/flash clockwork, then wipe and flash cognition. This sound correct?
That sounds about right. Really the only thing different i do is on the root of my storage I create folders for ROMs. So I have a Cog folder with the rom in it. Once you have Clockwork installed and you are choosing to flash, it will let you navigate to different folders. That's just my preference because I don't like to have too many individual files on my SD. Minor thing, just thought I would mention it.

Haha, appreciate the advice; I like a little organization in my life as well.
Sounds like you've flashed a few different ROMs. Have you ever bricked your phone to the point where you needed a jig? Or has it always been smooth sailing?
I guess I'm just trying to figure out why one person's phone would brick and anothers wouldnt. It kind of makes me assume that if you brick your phone, you've done something wrong, and if you just do the process right, everything should go smoothly. But maybe that's naive of me.

[ROM][CWM] Honeycomb 3.1 - Touchwiz UX - WIFI - DEODEXED (Updated 7/22/2011)

Pretty basic release. This is a deodexed version of the touchwiz wifi update.zip available in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167250
I have not changed anything else in this ROM (though I am now working on a more streamlined touchwiz ROM using this deodexed version)
So no, this ROM is not meant to improve performance or fix any bugs from the stock touchwiz update. A deodexed ROM simply makes it possible/easier for devs to create patches that can address these issues, make themes, etc.
Warning: I am not responsibile for any damage you do to your device from flashing this update. Please be careful and follow the instructions below, and use at your own risk!

Are you talking about the special tilt / pan control? Just tested that, still doesnt work, but it may be possible now to patch the problem if someone can find it (in the deodexed resources).
Yeah I like the zoom feature, that's why I went back to the stock 3g touchwiz rom
Yeah i still didnt go back to stock 3g im just hoping somebody can find it in this deoxed rom but lets see
Can you pleaseeeee hook me up with the 3g touchwiz .zip??? IV looked everywhere! My tab is sooo slow with the wifi version but the 3g version, even with errors, was smoking fast! Thanks!

The linked root zip is optional, you don't have to flash right after, you can flash it whenever (but dont use any of the other rooting zips available for this tab, the linked one is the only compatible version). Your bootloop is probably caused by not wiping /data+/cache or the davlik cache. Follow the instructions in first post.

Did you try without ROM Manager the first time? If not try that first to be sure. Also provide device info please (wifi/3g/io/retail/v). I have not had any other reports of bootloops from people that were wiping data+cache+dalvik properly. You can try formatting /system (under CWM mount / storage menu option) if you are still getting this after manually doing everything through CWM at boot.
are you sure thats the 3G version? I went to download it and my pc sees it as exactly the same as the new wifi version... thank you sooo much for it either way! good looking out!!!

Wifi Retail, Locked Bootloader
I am downloading it again to make sure its nothing weird with the zip. Every time I have flashed it was CWM not in the ROM Manager. Should I try that instead?

No if its not working in CWM it wont work if you do it through ROM manager. Redownload and verify the md5 hash from the original post. Boot into CWM recovery, wipe everything mentioned and retry.

Need advice on how to completely reset/clean/unroot my KL7 Note

I am getting lag lately and KL7 upgrade didn't sort it so I think something is messed up.
As with computer I think the easiest way is to backup apps + settings + custom files + SMS and delete everything.
Now as this is the first time on an Android device what steps do you (please) suggest me to follow without going to brick my Note?
My device is rooted and I have Titanium (if needed).

When it comes to backup you can always use titanium backup and stuff or if its just the apps you are looking at then you can back them up @ Google Server itself.
Un-rooting your device please follow the steps here -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Now when it comes to clean/reset of your device you can by two methods:
1. Go to Settings-->Privacy-->Factory Data Reset
2. Dial *2767*3855# (Note: This will erase your Storage card too.. Everything will be back to factory)
PS: Its a bit strange because KL7 is virtually lag free.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Do you mean the internal 16GB Memory or the external microSD card?

In fact I was having it already since a couple of weeks with KK9 (up since day 1) and when I upgraded to KL9 that was the proof it's not a firmware lag issue.
Thanks mate, your help is appreciated.

Your Welcome
I meant internal SD card. External SD card is not an issue since you can always pop it out before the wipe.
I would suggest you do a complete wipe. Reflash the ROM/Kernel etc (dont OC or experiment too much) and monitor things. As of now KL8 is up ;maybe you can give that a shot.
Cheers

Wow that was quick!
Maybe Samsung itself had to hurry at fixing all the bugs we have encountered.
Hmm going to try the new firmware before the complete wipe then.
Thanks again.
Hi there,
trying to unroot my Note with KKA kernel. I know I have to place the zImage of the KKA kernel in the zImage folder...thing is, where do I find the original kernel? Is it the zImage that I downloaded when rooting and CWM'ing my Note (the KKA file I got from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360)
Reason why I'm trying to get back to the original kernel is that I want to use Rom Manager as it's refusing to let me do anything as long as I don't have ClockworkMod Recovery installed. I do have that installed, but apparently not the one Rom Manager wants to use. I used Rom Manager on my Nexus S and it was nice to use and easy to try out different Roms so I'd like to use it on the Note as well.
I have CWM Manager 3.0 installed and it looks quite the same as Rom Manager except that it hasn't got the Download Rom/check for new updates feature. Or is it just that Rom Manager isn't compatible (yet) with the Note? Or is there a way to make Rom Manager believe that I have the correct CMR installed?
When thinking about it...I think I have the original kernel installed, but that that's not the reason why Rom Manager doesn't let me use it.
Thanks,
Dimitri
Problem solved meanwhile.

4.0.4

i have searched for 2 hours before asking
is there any difference between 4.0.4 official roms and if there is what is the best one i tried LRG open germany but my note freeze a lot on it
your note freeze cause of installation route you followed.
they are different cause of regionalization stuff. Knoone knows exactly what it means, cause Samsung has no external changelog

yes, you have not followed correct method of installation. Flash a GB rom via pc odin, root it, do 3 wipes in recovery and then go ahead with new plans. Its a full proof method.
Each new release of Samsung rom is first covered here in this section...just search . Readers are eager to flash and announce the changes they see...like new keyboard look ( LR6), sim lock ( LRk), signature unlock, video popup ( LRG ), new root method etc etc, just read those threads.
thx for your help i have installed gb and flashed through mobile odin i now have cm9 on my note which is fine no freezes but everything that makes the note special is gone before that i had LRG but too many freezes i think the reason is too much apps i have about 500 because this is my first android device and i like to know everything about it
i use go backup for restoring the apps each time i dont know if this is the problem

500 ??? :angel: Feeling like I will have the whole world in my note if I would follow you. I have only 210 applications including system lol
Do not restore backups unless you know what your doing.. The best software for restoring apps its titanium backup and you gotta activate the unknown sources option.. Also you gotta create a filter in order to only Backup your apps and data not system apps or data..

Dr Ketan has written a very guide on how to back up and restore. OP, plz check his signature.
you are talking about this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837984
i actually don't use nandroid backup so i don't trigger the brick bug
and i dont like titanium backup because as i said i have about 500 app and using titanium i have to press install and done for each one
gobackup is much easier to use and more simple and i can save everything including sms, wireless passes, call log
and i use nova launcher so all my homescreens and ui is backup
if you would like to use gobackup do not install the latest version it keeps giving force close

well cm9 says in first post dont restore...
Go to recovery, clean with format system, data and sdcard on safe kernel recovery, better take out external so you dont wipe that.
wipe cache and dalvik
then instal cm9.
dont use backup for recovering apps cause: first post says so
and because different version roms use different data structures, you are bound to run into errors
because just because.

Bootloop on stock JB and stock recovery and unrooted

Hi !
I'm on a french GT-N7000 on stock french JB (updated OTA a few month ago) and not rooted and stock recovery.
I'm not sure of the baseband version, I think it's the XXLT5 but I can't check it.
My phone had 0% battery and shut down, since then when I boot it it's stuck on the glowing SAMSUNG logo with the menu and return buttons backlit.
I still have the download mode and the recovery menu.
What should I do?
I looked up a lot of threads but I couldn't find one with this exact issue.
Install philz kernel from external sd card. Then boot into recovery and perform a factory reset if you are not worried about the data.
Actually, I should be on the XXLSO, is there a way to check it?
Whould there be a way to keep my data ? (some contacts and maybe some photos)?
I'm not realy up to date with rooting etc. on android, it has been 2 years I didn't do anything (I played with a nexus One), the kernels are not the same anymore but I couldn't find the exact one that fits my version.
Can I try an other one?
Edit : should I try the LSZ version ?
You can use any of the updated JB kernels. LSZ is a good option.
2. Wiping data will not delete photos videos or documents stored in the internal storage.
Ain't your contacts synced to Google or samsung cloud?
Thanks my phone works now !!!
Good to know that any kernel works.
I didn't want to try it before but now I'll go further and will try custom firmwares.
