So, your cwm doesn't recognize your phones internal memory, am I right?
If that's so, I don't have any clue what to do
But in case of a bootloop with working recovery, try to wipe dalvik an reboot...
If it still doesn't work, then do a nandroid backup, factory reset the **** out of your phone and try rebooting now... If it still doesn't work, then you may want to wipe system and install a new ROM, that should fix it...
With titanium backup you can extract all your apps from the nandroid backup, so nothing will be lost... It only takes ****ing hours...

You should try flashing a ROM (or just reflash the ROM you use [If you even use one]. Otherwise, try flashing a firmware via Odin.

As a matter of fact you need not go all the way down to flashing a Samsung firmware via Odin, a mere factory reset will suffice, but you do that you can kiss your data goodbye!

Wouldn't help, the best would be to re-flash the ROM rather than take the pain of a Data Reset.

Flashed wrong restore image. Download mode only

Hey.
I wanted to restore my note from my first backup made, backup just after root/cwm. I made a new backup of current rom (lightning rom 1.0) GB and afterwards flashed the first restore. After this the phone wont boot. When power on or plug charger it shows display in 2 sec, then making gfx mess and I need to pull the battery. I can get it into download mode though, so I guess my plan is to find an image for my region (Denmark in Scandinavia). The phone was unbranded and factory uncloked.
How should I proceed?
When I look at roms in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 I can't find any specific for my country, but I know it's the same phones in danmark, sweden, norway, finland.
Can you help me choose a file and how can I flash eveything including default recovery, unroot, etc?
I had the phone for test purpose and have to return it, so as close to original as possible
Thanks in advance
Try same kernel as backup was from

How to choose and flash kernel and from where?
I have the cwm backup on my laptop, but I guess these files cant be used in Odin?
Which kernel to flash via odin?
As I can only get into download mode I think Odin is my only option? (please correct me if I'm wrong).

what version of the Galaxy Note do you own? the international (N7000) or the AT&T one (i717)?
I think he has the international one bud.. after all, he said that he wants to find an image to flash a Rom for his region (Denmark) and he explicitly said its the unbranded, factory unlock one.
@OP
Anyway, since you want to flash to stock GB (unroot as what you said) and you want to be as close to the said country your in right now...
here's the link of the stock GB ROM for Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden and Norway)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=2488
Hope that helps you finding the specific ROM that you're looking for.
Don't forget to hit me a "Thanks' button if I've helped you some way or the other.
Thank you for your help. I'm downloading the image as I write this. I saw it was a zip file, will I unzip it and get a tar file or md5 so I can flash it with Odin?
Is it 1 file containg recovery, kernel, rom, etc or how should I flash this file with Odin?
Thanks in advance.

you can flash this using PC Odin (you need the tar file only) or you can flash it also using Mobile ODIN, find the md5 and flash firmware (inside the app)
Do always be extra careful and PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MAKE A WIPE DATA on your phone, before you flash it okay?
There's a 'bug' circulating the flashing universe and this can leave a very nasty sting if your not careful with it.
Solved
I flashed the file and now it tries to boot atleast and can stay alive for more than a few seconds.
Next issue, it is in bootloop. Keeps showing Samsung boot image, turns off, and boots again, same cycle.
What to do next?
Reflash or anyone have another image that I could try?
Normal into bootloop in the 1st time after flash stock...boot into rexovery..wipe cache n dalcik..reboot

You did recovery data wipe/factory reset. Be thankfull you did not meet the superbrick bug. Dont do that again on unsafe kernel my friend. Person their only said cache and dalvik not data.
Superbrick bug info. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659768
Okay. Lucky me then. But as I've read, I only thought it was ICS kernel where wipe data wasn't safe. In Samsung recovery there are only these two options of wipe, så couldn't do it another unless I changed kernel/recovery?

Stuck on samsung logo

Hi
Situation is as follows. Phone is rooted, running stock rom with Hydracore kernel (can't remember which one, but not the most recent one).
Missus was using the phone, it suddenly froze and then rebooted, and got stuck on the Samsung logo.
I can get into CWM.
Now what to do?
Do I reflash kernel? I just don't want to brick the phone.
Try flashing std version of hydracore from recovery
if same error then wipe cache and data.

OK so re-flashing hydracore isn't working. Have wiped cache, but that's not doing it.
Am loathe to wipe everything, missus will be pissed, she's in a bad mood already. Having to reset everything is probably going to tip her over the edge.
Okay if you are on hydracore kernel, then nandroid backup
Try wipe cache and data, if everything fine restore data only
If not works
Then re flash stock ics, Reroot and flash hydracore
You can restore just data from nandroid backup.

OK - all solved, had an old Nandroid backup that worked. I did do a nandroid backup when the phone was freezing, but that nandroid didn't restore, kept on getting an md5 mismatch.
Anyway drama over.
Wife is reasonably happy and no longer threatening to get an iphone.

[Q] Unable to call after update to CWM latest version

Hello!!!
i have just updated my cwm to the latest available version. however, once the phone flash it, i am unable to connect to my mobile provider. A sign keeps poping out to ask me to insert sim card when its already inside. My phone is rooted and currently running on stock gingerbread rom. ALL HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED!! i tried restoring my system restore and factory reset. but none works

i realize i flash the wrong CWM which might have resulted in the problem. when i booted the phone into recovery mode and tried to re flash the right one, there is still no change. sorry for the question, but when i flash hydracore with pc odin, i place the file in PDA box?
yes pda box. if cwm has a problem then flashing with it may cause bigger problems so using pc odin is much safer i think.
sometimes kernel mite not be able to override the installed recovery image.. if that then install the rom again using pc odin.

Hi, i have just flash it. however it now refuse to start up. its has this triangle ! sign appearing when i start the phone.
boot into recovery and do a factory reset. yes the yellow triangle will be there as u flashed a custom. kernel from odin.
you can remove that with triangle away app by chainfire. by refuse to start up you mean you cant enter download mode? i hope trying to flash something with wrong cwm didnt make any harm. if you can enter cwm menu you can try wipeing to factory reset cache and dalvik cache. if no cwm but download mode flashing a stock gb may help.

factory wipe cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe. if you done all that and no go flashing a gb rom with pc odin is the only way to try right now.

Hi all! since i am limited to only 5 thanks per day, i would like to thank you all for your help. :angel: the problem lies in the fact that for some reason the flashing of the wrong cwm kinda screwed my IMEI no. I brought it back to Samsung who charged me $152 to replace my motherboard though i have no idea what restoring IMEI no. got to do with replacing Motherboard.

Weird problem when flashing new rom

Hi guys. I got a real weird problem or so.
I was on a kingdroid rom based on 4.0.4.
Everything ok, no problems, until I turn off the cellphone to take the SD card. From that moment my note just dont turn On.
The thing is I was able to go in to recovery (nice), so I flash a safe kernel. All ok.
And then after a full wipe I tried to flash a rom, and here is the weird stuff: After flash any rom, the cellphone go into restart, everything is new but surprise, am still in Kingdroid v7, even when I flash a 4.1.2 based rom.
I tried many many times, and always the same. I can´t flash a new rom.
My kernel is the Philz one.
Hope someone knows what is happening.
Did you wipe data dalvik cache? If you still have issues you can wipe /system before flashing new ROM (recommended)

I can full wipe, and format/data, but when I try Fromat/system, recovery get freeze. :/
You mean Format/system, right?
So weird. Every time, the same, am stuck in Kingdroid. :S
It concerns me that you can't wipe /system
Hopefully someone can chime in here
you can try flashing from diffrent CMW recovery version.. try flashing speedmod 3-15 and reboot recovery and try to fullwipe and install..
i had weird problem when using diffrent CMW like abyss. i had quite similar problem..
try Speedmod 3-15. it is safe and flash speed is faster

mmm.
When I try format/system, recovery freeze and the phone restarts. And the Rom is formatted, so I have to put all my info again (select lenguaje, config wifi, config google account, etc). And still in kingdroid.

I tried Speedmod kernel, full wipe, flash alliance rom and after restarts, Kingdroid again.
The only thing that change was the kernel. So i have Philz again.
I will try with another kernel.

I can go on donwload mode, so I will try to flash a stock rom.
Thanks guys. I will report tomorrow with news. Hope works.
Do that stock GB (pre rooted) though not ICS...in PC Odin... that way when you wipe you can do it safely in stock setup without having a custom kernel...
Then just flash whatever with Mobile Odin

I tried with four different roms.
So I tried with Odin, with no problems in the process, but when the phone restarts just get to "samsung galaxy note gt-n7000" and stay there.
Now even the batterie freeze
are you sure that the Odin flash was successful?
if yes, the now try to boot into recovery and do a factory reset, reboot again
Ok. good news. I tried a few times with the GB pree rooted of dr.ketan, with no positive results. So I tried with a diferent one, from sammobile. Is a stock from my country. This one works.(a little hope). Well, now the phone is crazy. super unstable. But, is something.

Yep. Odin flash was successul. With green colors and all. But at restarts the phone was freeze and no chance to get recovery mode.
As I say in previus post, now the phone turns on,but is unstable. Is a stock GB rom.
I get a lot of error messages like:
Android.proces.acore has stoped.
com.android.phone has stoped.
So the phone is unusable
ok great.. this is the time when you HAVE to somehow get into the recovery mode and do a factory reset.. coming from a ics rom will give these errors.. just needs a wipe

Ok. I flashed the Pre-rooted again, and now I am in recovery mode. OMG xD
Question. IS safe to do a full wipe in this kernel? or do I flash a safe kernel, like speedmod??
Am gonna search a new religion to believe or something after this.
Edit: Ok, after think about it I did it a full wipe. (I am on gb so no problems)
The phone is OK. fully working!!! omg guys. Thanks so much!
Am gona do a resume of my problem, maybe gonna be of help for someone.

[Q] Note Stuck in Bootloop

Good evening,
I have a N7000 with Stock ROM 4.1.2 and the phone is rooted. Today after a periode of time I started the phone and it did the usual updated, including the Superuser.
After the update it freezed and in rebooted it pressing the power and home button. Ever since then I end up in a bootloop with reboots. I still can enter into recovery (Philz 6.0.3.1), however if I delete for example Dalvik cache the phone reboots (don't know if it ends the operation, or if it fails).
I am afraid that the bootloop is caused by the SU, however I am not sure.
I would need some advice, how the exit from the bootloop. Do I need to redo the rooting and install the SU?
Thanks for any suggestions.
:good:

Would that work?
If you did the backup in recovery, it should work... But I'm not that experienced either!

OK, I would give it a try....later today. Maybe any other suggestions instead?
Can I reinstall SU in the recovery?
may be try this..
boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup, then choose clean before new rom install. After its completed restore the nandroid backup and see what happens.

Thx. I did the backup, however as mentioned before it seems not to finish the operation and reboots instead. The date of the backup is shown as 2000-01-01...which looks quit wired to me. Time set in recovery is not ok either, but this might be due to taking off the battery earlier today.
I can try to restore my old backup but what would happen if it fails?
The date is not right because of the battery pull. Why does it not finish the backup? Any errors? Try an advanced backup of data partition only and see what happens.
If everything using recovery fails then you can use Odin method to flash a stock firmware..

Flashing with ODIN was what I thought as well. Does it matter if I upgrade from N7000XXLT4 to N7000XXLT5?
Should I do a factory reset from recovery first?
Sorry for the dumb q's...

you can factory reset and then install the rom.

Here is an extract from Philz Recovery available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 that will help you with the confusion.
What kernel to choose:
The important part is the Kernel code:
XWLPX-NEE
Kernel code is in red (LPX), for this example, you need an LPX ROM. However, often, you can mix kernels when they are close: LPF kernel with LPG ROM...
NEE code doesn't matter at all, I add it for reference. It is the CSC
XW: mixed, often doesn't matter for close regions. For example, XW and XX are often interchangeable. However, mixing a BU with an XW ROM or inversly, sometimes works, but often ends in a bootloop. In that case, either boot into recovery or download mode to reflash

Anything with N7000X-LT- will work fine, the latest rom is XXLTC, which you can get from samfirmware.com.
