i Don't know what to do, help me :((

i got Samsung Galaxy Note N7000
Baseband N7000XXLR but sometimes unknown
Kernel Version 3.0.15 Hydra Core V7
BUILD Number : IMM76D.XXLRQ
Running on 4.0.4 ICS
Boots takes too long in "samsung Galaxy Note n7000" and the "Samsung" it takes 10-15mins
my main problem is , that Baseband is unknown, Media/Video Player, Camera, Phone Contacts, Phone are not responding .
and in home always says "Process System is not responding"
the keyboard is not responding too, i cant even access aboutphone>Status .
and it keeps restarting,
what should i do?

Are you rooted ? If so, Make a backup of your apps with titanium backup, then, providing your on a safe kernel, Boot into recovery and do a factory reset.
If you are not on a safe kernel, then download one and flash it, Philz kernel can be flashed in stock recovery, Hydracore can be flashed via odin, the choice is yours.
Let me know if the issues persist after the reset.

when you go to about phone> can you see you IMEI number?

Yes, where can i download titanium?, im using hydracore v7, how can i flashed it in stock ?

its really difficult to answer when you make 3 thread with the same issue. by the way as per previous thread, have you flashed a new firmware using Odin???
This is what i replied there
*****************************************************************************************************************
Did you download the firmware from the above thread?.. if yes unzip it and you will get a tar.md5 file. also go to philz thread and download a kernel that is same as the rom you downloaded. put the kernel in the external SD keep the rom file on PC.
now boot into download mode. ( vol dwm + pwr + home till you see N7000 logo and release). you will enter a screen asking for vol up to confirm,. press vol up
open odin on pc and connect the phone to it. the box on the left will show yellow. click on the PDA tab and navigate to the rom file. dont tick anything else other than default what is there, press start and wait for it to finish. phone will autoboot . now check if the phone is working fine or not. ... reply back for more TS

which ROM did you flash? It seem you are still on the OLD rom.
Phil is a guy who makes safe stock kernels ( great) .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
when you flash the new rom check the BUILD Number eg: as you have now "IMM76D.XXLRQ" so download the LRQ kernel from his thread. If you flash a latest one then as per the eg above.
First flash the rom...

Big issue after firmware update try

Hello,
I've a "non commercial" version of a GTab 8.9.
This tab is running by default Android 3.1. I would like to update to Android 4.0.4. Kies doesn't want indicating my tablet doesn't support the update (i don't know it was 4.0.4 version or another)
I tried to use the standard : Odin + the new firmware. The tablet is unlocked and rooted.
Each time that I tried I get the error : "can't nand write" :-/ I tried all current stuff to fix this issue : change cable, PC, odin version (1.83, 1.85, 3.07, 3.09). I tried to change recovery with succss
but impossible to change rom. I found a link on tsar dot com (sorry I'm too young here to post link) to reformat tab and I put the pit file : this has worked....but now : i can't access to the recovery. I can only open the download mode...but I can't do anything and I don't have others files described ont the following link
XDA's guy are ones to save me !!
thanks by advance (sorry for my poor english)

Thanks for your reply. I tried this first but it didn't work because when I want "start" with the good firmware (7300), the md5 check works but that's all. When odin want write boot.img or other file, i get an error "Can't write" and odin stops.
As this method didn't work I try with the tsar dot com solution. Hoping that's can help me.
Thanks a lot.

I've a similar issue in /data partition (it can't be writtable after a try to flash with Odin from a virtual machine) and I fixed it with the PIT file to repartition, reflash stock firmware and then a wipe/factory reset from stock recovery (I think it did a format)...

I try to put pit file. It's works as I told in my first post. But I can't flash the firmware with a standard stock rom (apparently). Can you tell me tools and roms that you used to fix the issue exaclty ?

What I remember is Heimdall doesn't work with my P7310 and it don't let me do anything.
Anyway, plug into a Windows machine running Odin 1.85 (I think this version it's fine) your tab, press 10 seconds UP and power button and see if your tab is detected. In that case try to flash stock package again.
Some time ago it happened to me with a Galaxy Ace phone, when phone is booting screen was off but the phone enters into download mode anyway and you could flash whatever you want.
A last shot for you could be disassemble your tab and pull off battery. Wait some minutes and then pull on again. Try to start in download mode with tab plugged into your computer. If you don't have enough knowledge to disassemble your tab (and I can assure you of that it's not easy) maybe you need to bring it to Samsung support.

actually the bit about wiping is wrong
if it says wipe in the file name on all my firmwares then generally you do not need to wipe - wipe means that it is a wipe pack and will attempt to wipe everything before flashing
and like I said full instructions are given on my firmware thread including to wipe data if it bootloops after flashing

I also know about wiping and all. I use manoranjan frimware. In one frimware after flashing it gives cant mount data and bla bla. Need a factory reset after flashing when it going to recovery mode it self after this we have to again enter in recovery mode and give a factory reset manually. Its in case of non wipe frimware. If m not give a factory reset than my device boot again and again. And every 1 knows if we flash new frimware pre installed android software removed when flashing.

thats probably because you changed your file system to ext and when you flashed the firmware it wasnt a wipe pack
All my firmware I download from sammobile and split myself with splitfus2 into a wipe pack - All the firmware on my thread are the latest firmware for duos and are all wipe packs although if you experience bootloops just wipe data
Theres no problem creating threads but all what you have writting is on my firmware thread also with links to the samsung usb drivers which are also required and also other threads on how to use odin is easily available

Samsung s3 mini blocked afrter failed root

Hi, after a failed rooting my s3 blocked, i tryed to put on the I9300XXALE8_I9300ITVALE7_ITV (i'm from italy), but now is blocked on the Samsung logo. Also when i go in download mode it says
Odin mode
Product name : GT-I8190
Custom binary donwload : YES (17 counts) (ye i tryed 17 times to fix it)
Current binary : custom
System status : Official
So i have some questions : Can i send it to assistance and they can repair it (with warranty)? , should i try to re download the I9300XXALE8_I9300ITVALE7_ITV file? ( i tryed with 3 versions of odin, with 2 of them it says : failed, with the newest it says : pass but it blocks on Samsung logo)
Or there is something other that i can do?
(sry bad english)

Are you flashing a i9300 firmware to a i8190?
No wonder why it doesn't work.

+1 Just find the ROM you want to install here http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I8190 then download and flash this http://download.chainfire.eu/448/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r5.zip and finally go and install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu (or update if you have it installed after you flash the file above). I can root any phone with this simple method
NOTE : It doesn't matter which country you're from, you can flash any firmware you like, so why not be it the latest one available for your device (ANF3 at the moment)? You can still change language to Italian after flashing so there's really no difference between regions

I've never rooted a phone so I was just wondering how to do it like this? I've read some guides but it's really unclear still, one that I tried simply didn't work (the one where you flash CWR with Odin as the first step). Can you/someone tell me how to do this exactly, please? This is what I'm thinking atm:
1) If I already have the latest version I'm happy with, do I still need to download that version again or can I just go ahead with the SuperSU flashing part?
2) How do I in practice flash the SuperSU zip file? I currently have Odin v.3.0.7 and Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed on my PC. Thanks for any help!

I've never rooted a phone so I was just wondering how to do it like this? I've read some guides but it's really unclear still, one that I tried simply didn't work (the one where you flash CWR with Odin as the first step). Can you/someone tell me how to do this exactly, please? This is what I'm thinking atm:

If you don't have the latest firmware on your phone, download it from the link I gave (it's a .md5 file). Now go to Developer Options in your phone's settings and tick USB Debugging. Power off your phone. After that enter download mode on your phone by pressing power+volume down+home button while turning it on. You'll see a big message on your screen saying "Downloading, don't unplug target". Now plug your s3 mini into the pc and start Odin. Select PDA and find the .md5 file from before. Make sure that f.reset time and re-partition are unchecked and then press start. Once it's done odin will say "pass" and your phone will reboot. Congrats, you now have the latest firmware on your s3 mini
Now in order to root it, you need a custom recovery so let's go
On Google search "TWRP 2.7.1.1 Android-Andi xda" and download it from the attachments of his post (it's a .md5 file again). Again turn off the phone and enter Download Mode like before. Now do the same steps with Odin as the first time (with the firmware), but this time select the TWRP.md5 file instead of the firmware one in PDA section of Odin. Make sure all the options on the left are ticked/unticked exactly like the first time and hit Start. The "Pass" message should be displayed and the phone should reboot.
Congrats, you now have the latest TWRP Recovery on your s3 mini
And the last step - rooting it
Download the SuperSU.zip from the link in my post and copy it to your device's memory (internal or external). Now in order to enter Recovery Mode you need to turn off your phone and turn it back on by holding the power+volume up+home buttons until you see a "TeamWin" message on your screen. This recovery is touch based so just select install, choose the SuperSU.zip file and flash it. Reboot the phone.
Now you're rooted and on the latest firmware arty:
For future updates do the same. Just change the firmware .md5 file with the latest one available. The rest is the same xD
Man, I got tired ...

For what I know, is not possible to update modem partition via recovery... The working way need odin flashable modem... but may be I'm wrong...
EDIT: some partitions are write protected from recovery, this is the reason.
Inviato dal mio GT-I9506

I followed your directions step by step and even received a green "pass" sign in Odin but baseband still shows the old version. Can you think of anything that could possibly went wrong? I appreciate any help.

Thanks !! Now it's OK for me !! In fact I flashed using odin but without power off to go in download mode ! the download mode from the rom does not work.
I modified a little your tuto. With odin 3.09 I put the bootloader file in BL section and modem in CP section(not AP)
Big thanks for your help !

You are welcome...
EDIT: Anyway, also if you put the modem on AP (or PDA on v3.07), the modem flash correctly (tested by doing it as a mistake!!)... For your information, when a new rom is released, I always unpack the firmware to clean the package from recovery image (this to avoid to reflash TWRP), so I can prepare easyly and fastly the modem and bootloader tar.md5 files... if you need, ask me and I'll provide them... I prepare always tar.md5 that has self-checksum control when opened on Odin

What version do you use of Odin?
I suggest to use the v3.07, not the last one v3.09... In my dev teams, we tested and seems that older one is more stable than the last... here the link for v3.07 (in case someone need): https://mega.co.nz/#!pVwUEaqK!QWtWKBNrBklhmVDY1hOjJGC8nr6GEjy4qEVvhTbDrRs

I think this should be sticky post

Thank you for your reply. I tried 3.04, 3.07 and 3.09 all with the same result. It flashed, said "passed" but Baseband didn't change. I found out that I lost root somehow (maybe through the last update of the ROM?). I re-rooted and then I could flash the modem with V3.04. Thank you so much!

I'm glad I helped. If you updated the ROM, you lost for sure the root... anyway from now I think you can flash with Odin the new future Modem without issues... you know how to do it!!

Weird, after I did the whole reroot thing, I installed the latest CM12 nighty, had random reboots like many others I found out later. Root still worked. So I did a factory reset, flashed an old version (from 22nd) and lost root again. Never mind, thank you again!
