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?

Thanks for trying to help

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

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.

got it :good:
you need Flashtool installed and then extract the FTF via 7zip
select sin editor from tools menu of flashtool and browse the file kernel.sin from where you extracted the FTF file
then click extract data and you will see a kernel.elf file has been created in the same dir as where you extracted the FTF file
let me know how it went
i just did that and it went fine

there is no need to do that.
If you have a stock kernel.elf you can flash it using fastboot (Or flashtool in fastboot mode) on both locked and unlocked bootloaders

You are right. It is a fake thread in the wrong section. It must be deleted by administrator. We are waiting for a real flashable ROM for our TX under this title.

[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

It works!
All I needed as really a flashable ROM through Odin. After that I flashed CWM and custo ROM after that. Everything is working now.
Thanks a lot omarainea for the help and support!

HELP! Absolutely CANNOT boot into CWM

I followed everything via this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852 and successfully flashed CWM to my GT-I8190.
The problem arises when I attempt to boot into recovery mode. Every time I attempt it, I am taken to the stock android recovery screen and not CWM. I've tried different versions of Odin... the touch version of CWM.. using a different computer... all to no avail.
I even downloaded Rom Manager thru Google Play and attempted to flash/update CWM from there (as it said it was, indeed, installed on my phone) but it wouldn't let me reboot the phone into recovery from Rom Manager - I imagine because I am not rooted.
I'm attempting to root my phone and flashing CWM is the first step. Like I said, the flash was, indeed, successful but the problem is that it always takes me into stock recovery instead of CWM.
Thanks in advanced, guys!

try another custom recovery, for example this one.
Wait until Odin says "success" and then reboot into recovery via Vol+ Home and Power

Same deal, xXPR0T0TYPEXx... I extract the .zip to find merely an image file.. I tried it with Odin anyway but Odin will not recognize it.
Hmmmmm.... I may have to go with vROOT if you tell me it's safe to use.

Another way of root is by flashing unsecure kernel. You can do it easily by Android Toolkit.

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.
