[Q] Odin failed - galaxy note

I was trying to install ICS to my galaxy note, it wasn't rooted and I was running GB 2.3.6
Now I can access *Power+home+Volume down*
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You CAN or CANT access download mode ? If you can, simply flash a stock ROM via ODIN.

Yes I can, I tried to downgrade to GB but it failed as well :/

I don't really clearly understood your issue.
But if you want to flash a Stock ICS Rom, start ODIN PC, start your SGNote in download mode (button volume down + home + power), then connect your SGNote to your PC and flash via ODIN PC.
If you don't know exactly how to use ODIN PC, check tutos on the forum.

When you say "it failed" you are going to have to be more specific. Please give us an error message. Did you get a NAND write start and factoryfs.img and it just freeze after that in Odin?

Reinstall your ADB/USB drivers, make sure you're using USB2.0 port - for me USB3.0 always results in failed flash, ultimately switch USB ports.

The file you download from dr. Ketan is a .rar file, unzip it once and you get a .tar file. Flash that file with Odin in pda section. So don`t unzip the .tar file again.

The problem was the ROM itself
I flashed a new 4.0.3 and it worked perfectly
Thanks a lot.

To start with - you need root to flash this custom ROM, so unrooting your device was a mistake, you have to root it again.
Now, i've never flashed Criskelo's ROM, but from what i've read in the thread, you need to root your device, flash Chainfire's ICS repack via mobile odin, and then flash criskelo rom via CWM. Do not unpack the .zip file, you need to point CWM to that file.

When you boot into recovery, is it CWM recovery?
If you are talking about not seeing the CWM app, don't worry about that.

So you have to flash the CWM.zip file found in drketan's thread in android development.

Bootloop after installing stock on top of CM9

Hi all,
I am trying install the stock rom P7310XXKJ4------2011 October----P7310XEUKJ4-----UK/Ireland on my P7310, via odin
It seems to be successful, and then reboots, but then gets stuck in a boot loop. I can access recovery mode and download mode. I have tried this twice, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Go to recovery and do a factory reset. This will delete everything but it should fix your problem.

Also check "F Reset Time" in Odin and repartition using a 512 pit file. This will avoid you some common errors.

Make sure you wipe data/factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery then flash this should work fine for you maybe even clear the cache's after flash too

Hijacking the thread to the same destination. I was throwing in the towel and about to start the exact same thread, but I'm sill stuck. After researching a bit and trying a couple of things, I seem to be making things worse, so I thought I'd bite the bullet and ask for help while I still can use Odin.
I had also tried to install stock over CM9 and ended up in a bootloop with the blue CM9 guy showing. If fact, I couldn't even shut the tab off, it would power on and re-bootloop. I could get into recovery or Odin mode. I did a factory reset, didn't help. Installing from recovery wouldn't work, as I didn't have anything left on it to install. I researched and the thread with the stock firmware says "Extract tar file from the ROM(remember to extract it till .tar or tar.md5, dont go deep).". When I use 7zip to extract the zip file, I don't have a .tar file, what am I doing wrong? If I take the unzipped file and compress them to a tar file, the installation fails. After reading this thread, I installed the GT89pitfile.pit from the toolbox, and now I'm stuck in Odin; if I try to go to recovery, the icon just flashes and won't go anywhere.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

I gave you a link in this post to a thread which contains all ODIN images. Select one image depending on your model (7300 is the 3G model whereas 7310 is the Wi-Fi only model) and then extract the .zip contents and there is your image. The PIT file, as I suggested in my guide, is to be used in conjunction with a .tar ODIN firmware image to Repartition the device in case something goes terribly awry and still, that's no guarantee it will be the ultimate solution. Redownload your desired image.
EDIT: Once you successfully flash through ODIN, in order to go back to stock you HAVE TO do a factory reset in the Stock Recovery menu. Note that you will lose everything including the SDcard contents.

My point is, when I extract the .zip file, there is no .tar file to flash.

My question is, have you downloaded the zip file from the link I gave you, and even redownloaded to make sure it wasn't a corrupted download?

[Q] Download mode loop in Galaxy Tab 8.9

Hello experts!
Before gifting my Galaxy Tab 8.9 (p7300) I wanted to fully erase my user data and files and flash a stock rom back, so I formatted it in CWM recovery mode.
After that I can only use download mode. When starting with power+volumedown I get two choices: but the recovery mode won't enter (when I press volumeup it blinks fast and do not enter).
The only communication I get to the tablet is with Odin in download mode, and nothing else.
Since then I have made many tryouts with files found on the web: flash pit file, bootloader, cwm recovery, stock recovery and there was no result at all.
I'm really sorry if the answer is in another thread, but I haven't found any solution after 3 days searching the we.
If you solve my problem, you'll get $20. Please help me, I'm deseperate.
Thanks a lot!

Do you have adb access? If so, can you copy a recovery image to the root directory of the sdcard and flash it via adb?

I don't have access, unfortunately. Would I be able to flash it in download mode, anyway?
I'm downloading adt-bundle to get access to adb.

I have a stock ROM and CM9 here, but they're all in .zip format, suitable to flash in recovery mode, which I cannot enter.
I couldn't find any ROM in .tar or .md5 format as hotfile server is out, and I don't see how I could flash a ROM with ODIN in .zip format. Is it possible?

Yes I am well aware of that,
the link I gave you in the previous post is for Dev-Host mirror
for a Tar file to flash through Odin
but it is compressed in ZIP format
so you'll have to download it and unzip it using Winrar or 7-Zip
or any other similar Pc program
then you'll get these file :
P7300XXLQI_P7300XXLQ6_P7300GBLMP2_HOME.tar.md5
SS_DL.dll
ignore the .dll file and flash the tar.md5 file through odin and everything will be fine :fingers-crossed:
HERE IS THE LINK AGAIN
Oh and by the way you can't flash a Zip file through Odin

[Q] how to flash TWRP recovey????

i want to flash a new rom and to do this i need to get the twrp recovery..
i downloaded to maclaw studio's twrp and when i tried to flash it with odin i saw that i cant flash it because its not tar.md5 file.. i've tried to convert the file to .tar and when i flashed it, it broke my galaxy.. i want to flash twrp 2.7.0.0 but im afraid that it will broke my phone:crying::crying:.. can somebody help my figure out how to convert that zip\img file and make it a tar.md5 so that i could flash my rom??

The zip file is used to flash it through recovery (e.g. CWM or TWRP). You'll need the Odin file. You can also find it on Maclaw's site. Next to most download links, you can also click 'Odin' which gives you the Odin package.

You installed GB kernel over JB system, that is not gonna work. Do what Patlcs told you. You can install just kernel, remove md5 from stock firmware, open it with WinRAR or 7-zip and remove all except kernel files (two of them). And flash them via Odin.

If you modify .tar.md5 file, the md5sum will be mismatched giving invalid file while trying to flash...

1. What problem?
2. He flashed GB kernel over JB - that is his problem.
3. How to downgrade - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195673
4. Solution to have TWRP on JB is to install CoCore kernel with TWRP recovery, just go to developer section of our phone and look for CoCore thread.
