[Q] Problem with unbrick

Hello everyone, I probably brick my s5570.. it constantly reboots after loading the first samsung image and the second one with the phone model. i can access at the recovery mode but when I try to change rom from sd, the installation aborting after an error.Same thing if I try to return to the factory settings. Also i tried with odin but the phone is not detected, and the problem can't be a bad installation of odin or drivers because i got another S5570 and I tried it and it works perfectly. I have not tried only with jig. have anyone other ideas or procedures by suggesting? Thanks

Android system recovery ?
Are you not using CWM recovery !?!
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA

are you using ROM manager?

i tried to flash the cwr but nothing cause odin dont see my phone..i tried only with odin or with the flash by recovery,not with rom manager

You dint brick the phone I think...answer these questions carefully ---
1. What rom are u using? Stock or custom?
2. Did u properly download the rom? To verify, open the rom on PC and see if its opening or giving error.
3. If the above problem is true..download again and flash again
4. What cwm recovery are u using? ?
5. If Odin not detecting, have u installed KIES in PC? Without kies and mini drivers, Odin won't detect.
6. Check whether USB cable is working or not...
7. Have u wiped data and cache before flashing new rom?

Well try first put your device in download mode (power button+volume down+home button)
If success open odin connect your phone to PC and to flash (install) CWM put:
OPS--OPS
then mark one package and put
ONE PACKAGE-- CWM file.
Hope ti helped.
It will take about 3-5 min.

Hi bro, because you did it the wrong way that's the problem "never ever, flash a custom rom from stock recovery"
now your phone isn't bricked but in amnesia and need to be revived, this is the cure :
since you're able to access stock recovery that let you flash cwm recovery from there:
1- download the custom recovery (update-CWM-5.2.0.8-touch-squadzone.zip) from here http://www.mediafire.com/?xk637cg12kt2cl0
2- copy it to your sd card (through card reader via your pc) then reboot the phone to recovery mode (press and hold power button+home button)
3- on android stock recovery hit "apply update from sdcard" then choose "update-CWM-5.2.0.8-touch-squadzone.zip" wait till it shows "install from sdcard complete"
4-Turn Off your phone, remove your sdcard then put a custom rom on it, insert back the sd card into phone then reboot to recovery mode
5- now you should see the new custom recovery, in the list choose: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition then hit install zip from sdcard and choose your custom rom
6-after completing install process, wipe data and cache then hit reboot system
7-if all goes well your phone will boot normally like it should

Wipe data/cache before and after you flash the rom.. or reinstall the rom again.. and by the way, you have GB installed before you did all these, right? Just making sure you did not install all these with froyo..

[Q] Unable to flash any ROM except Taiwan ROM

I was running "TheMIDTeam 1.3" ROM & decided to upgrade to version 1.4 using the so call "safe" method using the "restore" method in CWM. unfortunatly this failed making my phone un bootable but I could still get into "download" mode.
I then thought I'd flash a stock ROM using odin and go from there. I chose the Taiwan N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS ROM. This all went OK & everything seem fine. I then relised this was not the ROM for me as it didn't contain "English Australian" amoungst other things. So I thought, no problem, I'l just flash something else more suitable, but no matter what else I flash with odin I keep getting "Force Close" continually once the phone has booted up. I tried many different ROMS from Gingerbread to ICS & keep getting the "Force Close" error.
I then flashed back the Taiwan ROM & it works fine but I am now stuck with that ROM.
The only difference with the Taiwan ROM that I can see was that it contained not just the PDA file like most ROM's but it had a PIT & BOOTLOADER & PDA & PHONE & CSC files. I think this may be where i've gone wrong. Maybe if I could find the stock international versions of all these files I may be able to flash these & get back to stock & start again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Anyone know where I can get the stock PIT & BOOTLOADER & PDA & PHONE & CSC
files so I can get back to stock?

I was also confused about the pit & bootloader files. I have used N7000XXLC1 open Europe with PC Odin. I have just sellected PDA file and everything went ok. Now I'm on stock GB without any problems

have you already tried to flash any stock rom trough mobile odin?

I have tried flashing 2 stock ICS ROMs & 3 different stock Gingerbread ROMs using PC odin only. They all give me continious "Force Close" error messages after bootup making the phone unusable.
If I flash back the Taiwan ROM all seems OK but I;m stuck with this ROM.

If I were you I would get a working version of the taiwan rom on the phone. Then flash a suitable CF kernel. Push a choice custom rom on your Sd card. And then flas that rom from CWM recovery. Only wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Just go into recovery and wipe all caches and factory reset and it will load fine it did it to me until I wiped all caches kept saying Google frame work has stopped

Well.... for quite obvious reasons I wouldnt recommend doing a factory reset on an official ICS kernel.
Something lile sssssuperbrick comes to mind.

This superbrick stuffs is getting on my tits how many people are wiping on there galaxy note using superbrick kernels and having no problems thousands?? hundreds of thousands??? but 20 people brick there phones and it's like Osama bin laden has created this emmc bug in the kernel to get us all.. We all know the dangers people could brick there phones using safe kernels because people make mistakes and or don't follow instructions

Thanks for the replys.
The Taiwan ROM that works is a ICS ROM, N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS.
I have thought of doing a full wipe via CWM but I'm afarid of the "SuperBrick" issue. In fact I was think maybe there is some coruption in the emmc partition already causing the "Force Close" errors I keep getting

Just clear your caches after each flash back from gb to ics vice versa and it will work fine

Here is your salvation installation
Dear KTM690 :
No need To Panic, here is your solution :
Let's suppose you are on the Stock LPF now :
1- Download the corresponding Rooted Kernel by Chainfire : I got it for you : http://download.chainfire.eu/176/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_ZS_OZS_LPF-v5.6-CWM5.zip
2- Extract it, you will have a tar file, Flash it with PC odin.
3- Reboot, now you are rooted and you have cwm recovery at the same time
4- Download the AbyssKernel V4.2 only : http://www.mediafire.com/?c65mndvpk6ocbaa
5- Put the zip file on your sdcard, don't extract it
6- Choose what ever ICS rom you like, let's say the TMT v1.4 that you wanted.
7- Put the zip file on your Sdcard.don't extract it
8- now shut off your phone, Press the Vol Up, Power and the Home Buttons at the same time, and you will be into cwm recovery mode.
9- Don't wipe anything, and Flash the AbyssKernel v4.2.
10- Don't reboot the phone, still in cwmr, go to advanced and choose reboot recovery.
11- You are now in recovery mode again, but with the Abyss Kernel instead of the rooted LPF one by chainfire.(now you have cwm touch recovery, tap with your finger now)
12- So It is totally safe now : wipe everything : data, cache, go to advanced and wipe dalvick cache, and battery stat, choose also Fix permissions while you are there.
13- choose back to go to the first screen,
Now you have Options, depending on what you have dowloaded as a Rom file...
14- If you want to flash the backup zip file from TMTv1.4 : choose backup and restore, and choose restore from internal sdcard, and look for your downloaded TMT zip file. (It should be clockworkmod/backup/TMT1.4...... Folder), I suppose you already have done it.!
15- If you have dowloaded the flashable TMT zip file, then choose install zip file, and choose file from internal sdcard..
In either cases : Reboot and you are done.
This is the cleanest installation you could have done, just don't skip any step !!!!
If this Helped, The thanks Button is next to you, ....and check my MOD : the 15 toggles in case .....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620625.
Good Luck.

Okay just flash whatever ROM you want (even if there are FCs), go into stock recovery (volume up home and power) and wipe data and cache. Reboot. This solved all the FCs for me when I had the same problem. Worth trying!

Thanks for you advise kimifender & everyone else.
I carried this out and now everything is back to normal.
I was just too worried about wiping everything because of the SuperBrick bug.

[Q] Help! Samsung Galaxy Note N-7000 stuck on Samsung logo

My Samsung Galaxy Note N-7000 is stuck on Samsung logo, I have some photos still not backup, I tried to root my device but unsuccessful:crying:. How can i backup my data? or what can i do in recovery mode?

What steps did you take to root?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Thank you for your reply. Here are the steps i did:
1. I was download a file (00-Note_ICS_Root) on other website. when i unzip this file, there are two files CWM.zip (clockworkmod recovery) & SU-Busybox-Installer.zip.
2. Copy them to external micro sdcard, and boot into recovery mode
3. Choose "apply update from external storage"
4. Go to "00-Note_ICS_Root" folder and choose CWM.zip, the screen show a few lines of texts and boot into ClockworkMod Recovery
5. There are 7 options, (1. reboot system now, 2. install zip from sdcard, 3. wipe data/ factory reset, 4. wipe cache partition, 5. backup and restore, 6. mounts and storage, 7. advanced) I was choose option 2, then follow the steps and choose the "SU-Busybox-Installer.zip"
6. After the phone loading something and show completed, reboot system.
00-Note_ICS_Root attached for your reference, thanks!

ICS and cwm.zip: risk of hard bricking your device.
So, if you only choose option 2 this shouldn't have happened until now.
But stop using this!
First of all get into safety:
Download a JB stock Rom and install it with PC Odin (read here).
If this works then you didn't brick your device.
After this you can try to root your device again (if you really need this and accept to learn and read).

ThaiDai, I have fixed the problem and get back my data already, thank you so much for your help!

How did you fix it?
I recently flashed Paranoid android 3.9 on a Galaxy Note N-7000, was working fine until it switched off. Every time I switch it on, it doesn't go past the "Samsung Galaxy Note" boot page. I can't get to the recovery options either.
Please Help!

Flash a custom kernel tar file from odin (like philz) and thus will give you access to recovery. Then you can reflash the same rom again.
OR
Flash a stock JB rom using odin and phone in download mode.

I had same issue. In recovery mode I did again dirty flashed the pa ROM and then cleared the dalvik cache (which is important)
This should do the trick
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Solution
Please do Following:-
Normally such problems occur if Dirty Flash is made. you need to boot into recovery and wipe data, cache and Delvik Cache.
If you cant boot into recovery unfortunately you have to do what i suggest in succeeding lines;
Download Stock Rom and Odin on PC from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
there is also a guideline how to flash Stock rom with Odin.
Home+Vol Down+ Power button will take you to Download Mode. Press volume up button once and connect the phone to PC. Open Odin and Flash the stock rom (Complete Guide on above referred thread)
Once done with it .. let the phone to start
Now download Philz Recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Please remember to download corresponding recovery as mentioned in Post 2 & 3
Put it into SD card
Now boot into Recovery mode. With Default Recovery Flash Philz Recovery and Reboot into Recovery.
Now your Note is rooted and you can safely install any Rom .. Remember always be on safe kernel before you flash any rom

[Q] Noob thread - Phone stuck in boot (need help)

Hi All,
My phone locked up this evening for no particular reason. When I rebooted it, I got stuck at a slow flashing Samsung Logo screen.
After scouring threads and web pages for several hours I am stuck!
I can get to the download screen to install a custom ROM and also to to the system recovery menu.
I cleared the cache and also performed a factory reset, but no help.
I have no ROM backups
I suspect I need a clean firmware but don't have a clue where to start or which ROM to install.
Can anyone help me with VERY simple noob friendly instructions for installing a new ROM from scratch? Happy to read through linked content.
Can anyone suggest which new ROM is best for the device? It needs to be clean and stable. I am totally OK with stock ROMs.
Thanks so much in advance guys! Thanks for your patience with a complete noob.

Would need more details..
Such as what version of Android your phone was on?
Was it rooted? Any custom recovery installed?
If a custom recovery is installed boot to it and then do a factory reset and clearing the cache..
Or you can download the Stock Firmware in a Zip File and flash it via Odin.
For Stock Files, search here or google it and download the firmware according to your region.
And for Odin : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539

enter stock recovery(press Volume UP + HOME + Power at the same time for 5 seconds) and a menu will show up...use Volume keys to navigate in that menu..with Power button you select an option...
select Wipe Data/Factory Reset - and scroll down to yes and select it..
Wipe Cache Parition - do the same..
then reboot....
if doesn't work...provide me some info like country where do you live and your mobile operator and i will give you a firmware to flash with odin and how to...

The most important question here would be was it rooted? If you are rooted and have custom recovery installed you can wipe data there and flash any rom of your choice (head over to the development thread).
If your device are not rooted, I afraid you'll have to use odin to flash stock firmware. Head over to sammobile site to download firmware for your country.

Help..

I've been running the SOKP ROM which runs kitkat 4.4.4 and I decided to give this phone to my younger bro, but he says he wants the original samsung ROM so I download the ROM from sammobile and also the latest philz kernel. I flashed the kernel from recovery and rebooted, wiped dalvik/cache, formatted system/cache/preload and then flashed the ROM...
BUT..
when I flash the ROM, it starts and then the installation aborts on its own. I've tried it a few times. Did all the wipes again, still no luck.
Can anyone please tell me how to switch from the SOKP rom to TW ? I tried the same method last time and it worked, but this time it just doesn't go that way... What am I doing wrong?

Just use odin, don't use your recovery
Flash with Odin
Go into recovery mode
Wipe data
Reboot
?
Profit!

Thing is, I've never used Odin before and I'm not sure how its supposed to work..
Can you tell me if its correct please..
I rebooted to download mode and the phone just says "Downloading.. Don't turn off target" (This is the first time I started download mode so I'm not sure if it was supposed to say that)
Does Odin show a sign which tells us the phone is connected? (Sammobile says "Wait till blue sign appears in odin".. I didn't see any)
Does the yellow triangle appear if we flash the stock ROM or is it only for custom ROMs?
Edit : I tried to add the .zip file to AP but it won't add.. And there's so many options here they confuse me.. I'm scared :crying:

I managed to work it out with odin but I still have just ONE more question.. in recovery should I go to mounts/storage and wipe data there? Or just do the wipe data/factory reset?
