[Flashing] Galaxy Note, black screen

Good evening everyone. :3
My I wanted to root and put a new ROM in my phone, and it didn't succed so well as I'd hoped for. /:
First off I I did a factory reset using the tool in settings. (That's a full wipe, right?)
After that I rooted my phone using this root thingie, and I chose to use Method 2: Root + CWM recovery, and I followed everything correctly and it seemed to have worked out fine, I had the CWM & the superuser app in my phone after the restart. c: I did not touch them though!
Anyways, before the rooting, I put the ROM in my DCIM library, and I chose to use the CHECKROM, V4.
So when I finished the rooting, I went to this ''volume up'' mode, and installed the ROM. C:
Once again everything seemed to go with the flow.
When the installation was complete & it said ''Everything is good, restart your phone''. I did, and now the screen is black, the only thing I see when I start it is the white text saying ''Samsung GT-N7000'', and it blurs/fades away.
I can't enter volume up mode (Recovery mode?), but I can enter the download mode.
FYI: After the rooting and the installtation of the ROM I made a backup!
I can't find my phone in my computer either, so I can't reach any files. /:
Please users of XDA, help me. :3
Yours sincerely Viktor
Edit: The phone is up and running now, flashed it back to the stock rom using Dr.Ketan's guide. .
Thanks a lot for that mate. C:<3
Now I'll try to root it & put a new ROM it again, I'll update this post wheter or not I succed.

Theres a thread like this at the top of the other forum. Enter download mode and flash stock rom using odin.

Yup, I've read it.. x:
But flashing this & dat, it doesn't make any sense to me. /:
And I've said I've been up all night reading, trying to learn how to do etc etc. x:
It's so frikkin' hard. o:

Did you flash the stock rom and is it ok now?

Uhm, I have no idea.. x:
When the phone didn't start I used Odin, followed a guide and ''put in a'' stockrom in the phone, but it was so buggy, I couldn't be in the menus because it crashed... x:
So I had to do a factory reset, and now the phone is working, but I can't use the Zergrush & the other guides to root it now.. :c

You probably flashed a kl7 / 8 / la1-4 rom which are not directly rootable. You need to flash a older rom. Go to development forum and find out more.

I would download and flash a older rootable firmware version (afaik anything before KL7/KL8/LA1 ...) using Odin.
After that root and flash CF-Root kernel using Method 2 as described here.
Important: You need to use the right CF-Root kernel for the firmware version you flashed!
Next step would be booting into recovery and making a backup with CWM.
After that flash the rom you want to try using CWM in recovery mode.
Some devs advice to reboot twice after each flashing.
Search the instructions in the thread of the rom you want to flash for info about wiping (checkrom devs advise to do fullwipe before flashing).
First boot after flashing a rom might take some time, just wait a few minutes.
This is the CF-Root thread, also worth reading.

Are you sure I don't have the right firmware right now?
I got this one, N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries -----------------. And I downloaded and flashed it with Dr.ketan's guide.
I have tried to root it with CF now several times, but all it says when I start the root thingy is ''--- STARTING ----
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE''
After that it doesn't move at all. ):

Did you make sure to
- enable "USB DEBUGGING" (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development)?
- enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" (Menu\Settings\Applications)?
Don't have Kies/Odin running while rooting, exit antivirus, pc suites, etc.
If it still doesn't work after that I'm afraid I can't help you.

Yup, both of those where enabled, and kies were closed.
At this moment I am rooting using the zergrush exploit, I found the problem in the Rooting thread.
About Win7 64 bits user:
please try to run the "runme.bat" before connect the phone to computer.
1.disconnect your phone & computer
2.run "runme.bat", you can see cmd box, and process will stop on:
--- STARTING ----
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully * <---here
then connect the phone, and go on..

Yes I made an hard reset before I started the rooting.
I'll try to fix the ROM, again.. x: I'll be back soon to inform you of my success.. (;
Yours sincerely Viktor

H'okai, the rooting and the installation of the ROM was succesful.
Thing is that the booting loops all the time, and I never come to the home screen.
First it starts with the Samsung GT-N7000, and moves on to the blue stripes & dots(looks like your in space or something. :3 )
After that it gets stuck on the part when it says Samsung and it pulsases in blue around the logo.
After that the booting sequence restarts, and I've tried to install the ROM using CWM Recovery three times, and it still loops. /:
Yours sincerely Viktor
Edit: Googled and found this thread.
After the wipe in recovery mode the boot loop started and I can now enter the phone.

Quite interesting with this WIN7 64bit thing, didn't know about that.
Glad you got it running.
Don't forget to backup. ;-)

[Q] Odin not responding

I have tried to install a custom rom (S5570XWKC1) but when i open odin it detects my device and then i add the TASS and everything works fine until i add the image:APBOOT_S5570XWKC1_CL935856_REV02... Odin stops responding and closes. I have tried different versions of odin and a different computer but its always the same. :s

use the latest odin version and follow all the steps carefully and it should work

Try downloading a new copy of odin and a new copy of the firmware as well..

I have now tried the different versions of odin and even different roms but it always does the same :/

are u putting the phone in download mode and then connecting to odin
and if its so try doing all the steps properly because normally this problem does not occur

Hmmm.. I agree with you buddy. Something's wrong here. You have to put all the files first in odin before you connect your phone in download mode..

It seems like you are new to eveyrhting and thus getting into problem with each step... Don't worry, no one can get it right the first time. What you ought to do is read through the thread and learn a lot of information. I have also made it easy for new Samsung Galaxy Mini Users and have posted clear step by step instructions on flashing, rooting, installing CWM recovery and many more at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com
Visit that too (link on my signature) and you will know everything and will be able to do it without any errors. I am sure you will find it useful

Now everything is ok. I have the cyanogen mod 7.1 installed and an overclocked kernel (782Mhz) but i have seen videos where its 825 or 864. Does anyone have a link to an overclocked kernel for CM7.1, that would be 800Mhz or over or do i have to have CM7.2?

How did you get it to work and respond?

[Q] weird bug. need expert advice + solution

Today I tried to update my phone to a new custom rom.
I followed the instructions of the threads and tried to get it to work.
Of course it didn't work or else I wouldn't be here right now asking for help.
Here's the current situation.
I am able to boot into download mode + recovery mode and also boot into cwmr and install a different kernel.
I used pc odin to install it each time and it does pass and the rom (i've tried installing a gingerbread rom so that I can try everything again) does install.
the problem is that it is currently stuck in a boot loop at the "Samsung galaxy note gt-N7000" screen.
I have looked up dr.ketan's posts and tried some too.
currently i am booting abyss note kernel 42cwt touch original. (I know for sure it is a workable kernel because I've been using it this whole time.
here's what i've done. please tell me what i've done wrong and the possible ways to reverse it.
1. backed up everything
2. went into recovery
3. factory reset/cache clear
4. use pc odin to install new kernel (since I was looking into switching to another kernel anyways)
5. use pc odin again to install gingerbread rom (I do get the green light saying it did get installed
6. phone auto reboots
7. it gets stuck at the boot loop like i have mentioned above
i will try to attach a few pictures of my note as soon as I can so you can see what's going on with it.

What rom is there on the phone now ? if you boot into recovery .. what recovery do you get now ? CWM or stock ardroid 3e recovery ?

Right now it reboots to 3e recovery.
The rom that I tried to inject to it is currently a the stock gingerbread rom from dr. Ketans thread.
The rom that I had on it is the official ics rom for the hk region.
The rom that I wanted to inject to it was a custom jb rom that uses hydracore as a kernel.
Thanks!!

try installing a prerooted Gb rom or an ICS stock rom using PC odin.. if you choose ICS, after flash install a safe kernel..

If I do a stock ics update can I just do it through kies or do I have to do it through pc odin? Also. Would abyss or hydracore considered as a safe kernel???

yes if kies can do it then good but at this situation i dont think. its better to use PC odin for now. yes both are safe kernels

I've tried your suggestions...and it didn't seem to work out too well.
I am able to flash to different kernels and get in and out of different recovers and such, but ya...still no luck with running a rom.

Well I am not sure but I soft bricked my phone when I tried that Abyss Kernel. In my view Hydracore is safe. Philz is super safe.
Flash ICS which matches your region using Odin. If phone boots flash Philz, If not, then be ready to read a lot of stuff or get phone repaired.

the only thing i have...

Hey guys. my note seems to have cooperated and allowed me to flash a new rom and also a new kernel. Here's the catch though, now it's stuck in the samsung logo and won't boot beyond that. Any suggestions of what to do? I am continually searching on the forums to find a solution.
At least I'm happy to know it's not a brick that can't be fixed.
Thanks nokiamodeIn91 for your help so far. I really appreciate it.

which rom did you flash and which kernel? how?

I currently flashed the abyss note kernel 42 cw touch and I downloaded an old gb rom from sammobile .
Here's what I did.
1. Put my phone into download mode
2. Run as admin on PC Odin
3. Selected the Abyss kernel then flashed it.
4. Boot into the cmw, wiped cache then booted the phone into download mode again.
5. Then I installed the old GB Rom on to my phone and restarted it.
6. Phone starts, loads past the GT-N7000 logo and goes into the samsung boot logo.
7. Phone repeats the animation of the samsung logo a time or two then restarts on its own. This loops until the phone is completely drained. I know that the rom works because that was the rom that I used to root my phone. I definitely don't mind downloading another rom if I have to.
my current goal, if we can fix this, is to quickly just update to the official jb rom for n7000 and not play around with the rooting and such until I have even more time to learn more.
at least I know for sure my phone isn't hardbricked, I would imagine I have either missed a step or something that caused the problem.
I have read through the forum and I did come across one post talking about checking my phone's partition and such.
I got to be honest, I'm really not technically skilled enough at this point in time to dare to mess around with that type of thing yet especially with so much coding to make sense of it. (I know this is kind of dumb to say especially when I rooted my phone and screwed up this bad). More importantly, I don't even know for sure if I need to do a partition or not.
Please let me know what I did wrong and how I can fix it.
I got a question though (out of curiosity), how come there's no toolkit for the n7000 like the S3 and also the note 2???

this is the name of the old gb rom that I tried flashing.
N7000ZSKJ6_N7000OZSKJ6_N7000XXKJ6_HOME.tar
I actually have tried several other roms as well (from GB-JB, official and custom) and all of them so far has gotten to the samsung boot logo
I have read on the forums to try using Philz-cwm 6 kernel but I don't know if it'd solve my problem.
let me show you one of the threads I have read, if I dived into the wrong material let me know and I won't consider using it (or learn how to use it) for my current situation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661590&highlight=samsung+logo+bootloop&page=2
like I was saying before, I really have no experience in coding so all the things that really made near no sense to me. I understand the basic concept of what its trying to do it's just seems like a very unsafe method for me to try especially when I lack the necessary knowledge in this area of expertise.

did you flash the GB rom using the standard PIT file ?
also you could try with the 5 file flashing method from this thread

Why are you only wiping cache.
You should have done a factory reset on that step.

Slow S3 mini / rooting questions

Hi guys.
My S3 mini is so freaking slow when opening the camera and when ending a call. There's 2-3 seconds of idle before it "gets on with the show".
Do you know of any roms that don't have these lags? I don't use any of the samsung stuff, so a clean rom would be ok as well..
Also - I'm on a Mac - so any rom images that will flash via Heimdall would be prefferred (all the roms I've tried gives a bad checksum error and won't flash)
A million thanks in advance

Agree, flash it with CWM or TWRP, so, no matter if you are on a Mac

But my problem also concerns CWM which I have downloaded from www.clockworkmod.com - all roms and cwm packages I have tried gives me a checksum error in heimdall - and then refuses to flash anything towards the phone.
(and I have NO access to a Windows with Odin)
Sendt fra min GT-I8190 med Tapatalk2

If your phone is rooted than install rom manager and install cwm recovery via the rom Manager app
And dont use the computer for flashing, use the recovery.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Just to clarify: my phone is NOT rooted, as i have yet to find a rom that heimdall will let me flash.
I have bought Mobile Odin, Rom Manager and many other like that on Play Store, but they have no effect until I can flash a CWM or the like on my phone (and then another rom ofcourse).

So first things first, you have to root your phone..
It would be easiest if you could get a hold to a windows pc.. Some friend's pc..
Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Yes i know - but that's not an option right now.
(all my windows friends are leechers on pirate bay or the like, running virus infected pirated windows - an therefore unclean systems)
I only have access to Mac OS X and Ubuntu in terms of systems i know to be legit and clean / safe..

Have you checked this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066668
Here is a rom who was flashed in ubuntu.
Once you got root, you can flash any rom.

Thank you rafo. I'll check it out when I get home from work

So - I've been trying that Ubuntu rooting - but without luck. ADB can see my device and so can Heimdall, but I get a libusb error 3 no matter what i try, when i try reading PIT or sending anything towards the phone.. Any ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated
/BBK

So.. I've given up on Ubuntu and gone back to the Mac OSX. Anyway the commands are the same in ADB and such..
BUT how do i flash the clockworkmod.img or a rooted rom on to the phone without Odin ? - Heimdall won't read any of the files I've tried, so I'm stuck with only having the Android Developer Tools at my disposal.
When the phone is turned on and started up, I can see it using "adb devices" - but then what ?
I can get into Download Mode and the stock Recovery - but where do I go from here ? (I can't find anything on the forum)
I have downloaded a rooted rom and cwm touch just waiting for more help

Help! I accidentally deleted my OS

I know this is probably the stupidest thing one can do and since I mediocre knowledge about Android stuff I just did that. While I was on CWM recovery mode I was tinkering around the settings and I accidentally deleted the OS, this leaves me soft-bricked (is that the term)? When I boot up on recovery mode again it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." But when I connect it to Kies it doesn't detect the phone! And when I boot up download mode it says I have Custom binaries (it says 3) which I suppose is because I had CWM? I have no idea how I could re-install my OS back to my phone and am panicking since this was my first phone. Is flashing back to stock firmware a viable option if I accidentally deleted my OS? Or so I have to do some other process? Please I am in dire need of assistance here!

Yes just flash back stock firmware with Odin.
That custom binary is probably from the time of GB because root method was increasing it. You can use Triangle away to reset it, it is free on xda.

I have kies and I always close it before opening, doesn't appear. Even the switch port thing doesn't. I'm going to try out 3.09.

Odin does not have anything to do with system partition, I mean it will work anyway. Do not just close Kies, go to task manager and kill it (in Windows).
P.S. If you have any ROM in your sd card, you can go to CWM and install it. Or if you have some other phone, put SD card in it, copy ROM and install it in CWM.
