Haha, I remembered something and I found it. Look here.
I repeat the message from there:
No need to open a new thread each day with the same problem.
In your other thread from yesterday you wrote that odin stopped at factoryfs.img.
And as a member wrote you bricked your device.

really sorry about that ..
but that took me to the last post !
mother board is fine it is just software installation
roms ect ect ?
are you able to help

First you have to clarify the state of your device:
Did you succeed in installing any Rom with Odin after you saw the error with factoryfs.img?

okay well shall we start from the beginning i havnt had any luck with it soo far battery woudnt charge so i purchased a external charger .. it wouldnt let me back into download mode because of low battery . soo battery has been in the charger now for bout a hour or so and its charging grate ive stuck the battery into the phone and now in download mode with no sweat .. its recognising on odin . which i think its 1 step good .
next i need to find a safe kernel and rom that could work onto my phone .. i dont mind if its ginger bread or ics
but i prefer ics
... im able to get into recovery mode also ??

I will not start from the beginning: obviously you didn't accept the "message": you bricked your device if Odin stopped at factoryfs.img.
So the options didn't change:
a) replace motherboard for complete repair by Samsung
b) use the workaround here in the forum with repartition (and excluding damaged sectors)

all im asking is what is a good rom to use ??? and kernel ?

it depends on you.. if you want stock and stable.. go for any latest ICS roms. JB roms are leaks so there will be bugs in them... XXLSA and XXLSC both are good. there are odin flashable roms of LSA & LSC in general and dev section of this forum

nokiamodeln91
thankyou
i want to install the stock ones for my note before i tried to flash jelly bean i was using ics but yeahh after that it wouldnt boot
soo im trying to go the safe way now
thankyou ..

flashing via Odin is always safer

There you have it all, scrool down for more...

how will i no which stock rom to use ! my note isnt brought from my country

Rom from any region will just work fine.

And still ignoring the fact that he admitted in his first of three threads: stuck in odin at factoryfs.img.
So showing him different possible Roms in the usual threads and tutorials won't help him.
If it still stops at the same step in Odin (and he didn't answer this question) he has only the two remaining options:
repair by Samsung or workaround with repartition.

yes but let him try till he gets fully satisfied.. I am not here to force anyone

thanks mate but I'm on version 2.1 but in ur thread it says, Rooting GT -I9000 2.3.6 [India DD JV7 / JVB]....... should I go ahead with that rooting process still? just wanna make sure cause I really don't wanna brick my phone

on 2.1??
why you are on 2.1???official update is released since ages..just update to 2.3.6 and then follow the same.
this two steps done very carefully
1 when you connect yor phone to odin in download mode the yellow light will be blinked in id:com.
2 put kernel file in PDA only
3 uncheck re partition and just click your device will be rooted enjoy.

just go in settings and then navigate to software and in that there is "check for updates"
one advice: get some basic information regarding rooting,recovery,kernel etc....i root my phone after doing research for month and then i proceed.here in XDA lots of information available very easily just go through posts and forums.read and re-read then proceed.
if u do something wrong we are here to help you but make sure you know what you are doing.
good luck

thanks man I've already rooted my SG3 , I went into settings but I don't see any option regarding to check for updates .....can it be done via keys

ok I watched the video ,I already have Odin on my PC but the video didn't provide a link to the official 2.3.6 Gingerbread XXJVU firmware bro, do u have a link?

Link is already there in that video please check carefully before posting

ok the video is kinda blurry on my phone can u please inbox me the link sir

Last time I needed gingerbread I did a simple Google search. There are working links in these forums if you search too.
Don't expect to be spoon fed everything. Do some research like everyone else did instead of just posting all the time.

Follow these steps sequentially; safest, tried and tested by over 10,000 people on GT-i9000:
1. Go back to stock: Flashing To Original Rom - Using Odin on GT-i9000
2. Root your device: Rooting GT-I9000 2.3.3 [India DDJV9]
3. Install ICS: Installing Ice-cream Sandwich 4.0.4 On Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
4. Install JB: Installing Jelly Bean 4.1 on Galaxy S GT-I9000
ENJOY

Few beginner questions.

Hello guys I just sold my 4S and bought this Note 1 , anyway im new to android flashing and this stuff , ive heard that its way different than iOS restoring which is really easy and simple. Right now i got a few questions , If i missed a step or did something wrong it'll render my device unusable ofcourse , but will it be unrecoverable ? Thats the first thing. Second thing is that is it recommended that i install custom roms? right now i need one's with the Water Ripple effects on lockscreens , or if you can just tell me how to install the effect without custom rom's that'll be helpful because i want to flash official 4.1.2 jelly bean first and then the lockscreen effect. Im just new to the Android stuff and i dont know where to start Same feeling back in 2008 when i bought my first iPhone and got confused n' all

Read around for awhile, its what got me started when I first came here.
Again, read, read read, and avoid asking questions which have been answered countless times its annoying really.
Start with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, understand it by heart before attempting to root/flash on your new Note :good:

I dont really get anything , extract till tar what does that mean?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

If you just install stock official 4.1.2 rom via odin, it should come with the ripple effect.
Or if the update is already available in your country, you can just update it to the latest official rom via kies.

You'll notice that all of the download links are zip files.
You just need to extract the zip file until you find the .tar file.
Get 7-zip if you don't already have an archive reader.

Help with kernel
So recently I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note GTN7000 and flash it with franco kernel, then when I turned on my phone the bluetooth is not working and it constantly crashes and get stuck (The screen just go green and pink like an old TV with bad signal). So I panicked and unroot it immidiately. But that didnt seem to solve the problem.
So my question is, can I flash it with the original kernel. If so how? and where can I get it. can you teach me. (NOOB REQUEST )

just flash the stock rom again... using PC odin

Alright guys thanks for the reply , i heard theres a way you cab install roms without pc since i just want to install official 4.1.2 , ill do some research

Yep, there's a way to install roms without PC, using mobile Odin, but before that you should have your phone been rooted first.

Well i can upgrade with PC but im kinda afraid .. All i want is just updating to jelly bean official on my note , I searched for about 2 days and learned how its being done but while searching i came to posts showing people crying cause they got their phone bricked cause of kernel blah blah , i also saw at the end of the installation guides that it will get my phone in a boot loop or stuck at samsung logo and im not sure xD i just want to update and im taking it seriously cause i dont want to brick my phone .. If someone can walk me through step by step id be thankful , we can use skype or something xD

Wait a few minutes. Let me get on my PC and I'll give you step-by-step instructions.
Now, do this:
Since you're scared, we'll do this the safest way possible
1.)Download a stock GB rom from here.(You can always come back to this ROM if you run into any trouble).Flash it via PC Odin.
2.)Wipe data and cache from recovery (Press Vol Up+Power+Home when phone is off in order to boot to recovery)
3.)Download stock JB rom from here.Flash it via PC Odin.
OR
1.)Update using Kies.
You're done

Alright ill do this when i get home , hehe thanks man ill update this thread if i get into any trouble

If you wipe, you may brick.
Other than that you should be safe.

Im following this method right now , so i just download Gingerbread (550+mb i think?) and install via odin and then i have gingerbread? No additional steps ? No chance of loops/errors/bricks or anything or installing additional kernels like some people said cause that's whats confusing me ... i dont really want any custom kernal i want jelly bean stock ... if anybody could guide me through skype i'd be thankful
EDIT: Iv'e read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633938 thread carefully and it says that if you wipe using Settings you will get eMMC bug , i was on 4.0.4 and wiped but it booted normally without any problems (No loops No Restarting on its own No lags) and it was smooth , even though that app from playstore says my chip is insane .. Somebody explain this :S ?

Yes, then you'll have gingerbread. Don't forget to wipe after installing gingerbread.
It may brick. Not definite that it will brick. Still, better safe than sorry. Never wipe on stock ICS kernel!

I actually read and made my research already , and also successfully upgraded to jelly bean and i must say , i made a big mistake >.< The performance is crap and the phone gets overheated in a few minutes on both note 1 and 2 ( Its on 4.1.1) Im not really into kernels or custom rom flashing cause i already had a bad experience when i emmc bricked my old s2 thats why i take my steps carefully with this note. Ill downgrade to 2.3.6 and ordered an original battery (Yeah im using fake one stupid i know) and see of that fixes it. Appreciate your help guys , thanks

Galaxy note JB update, clean install STILL SLOW

Hopefully this is where I should have posted it......
Hello,
Seen this being brought up a lot but i have the galaxy note which was on ICS standard before, I then did the update to JB through Kies or via the software update button and after a while realised it was slow and that everyone was having the same problem. I then found everyone said to do a clean install and a hard reset and just start fresh which I have done. After a couple of weeks now its is still running slow and laggy and just painfully annoying, can be there for a bout 5 seconds sometimes longer waiting for apps or things to open.
Any ideas on what I can do?
And like I said its all standard haven't put a custom rom or anything on there as I don't know how to do any of it but is it worth learning how to do it and doing it?
Thanks

also the steps are mentioned on 1st post of all the roms. Be on safe kernel before formatting or flashing.

Yup, your experience pretty much sums up the JB update for the note - c**p. However there are a few things you can do, first install a ROM with an XXLT4 base or higher, after that then uninstall as many apps as possible that you won't use and that you can live without. It will be a bit better but still, not as fast and smooth as ICS.

Revert back to ICS! Flash the ics stock via ODIN. Download from sammobile.com

I think I would like to yes but every time I have tried I cant do it and get confused lol.
As I said my phone is completely standard not been flashed or anything so would need a whole step by step guide to do it on and would then need the ROM or OS whatever its called to install. I have a galaxy ace to test it on. I think the thing that was scaring me was that my phone is still under warranty so wouldn't want to ruin that but then I might try it anyway??

There is a detailed guide provided on how to root in the forum and it's very safe. I rooted the phone the next day i bought it! Don't worry u can try it, the methods prescribed here are very safe, just follow the instructions to the letter. And custom ROMs will give u a much different experience altogether!

Follow this...
Firstly root your phone. The guide for rooting is there in dr.Ketan's thread. I'd have posted the link but I'm currently on my mobile device and it's tedious. Just look in the Android development forum and the thread for how to root will be right there. Next after you root and flash a CWM recovery (you'll find the kernel with such a recovery by Phil and it'll be there in the same forum that teaches you to root). After this, you can flash a ROM (yes it's similar to operating system!). Try ROMs like the PAC which are feature packed and stable. Please follow all the instructions to the letter. And do not forget to hit the thanks button

ah lovely ok im going to look for this thread and see if I can find it. Like I said I have a galaxy ace I might try it on first to see if it goes well and then I can work on my note to see what happens. Once I finally manage to root my phone I will then try a ROM and see how I go, if I have any questions ill post them on here and see if you can help :fingers-crossed:
thanks, have hit that button too!

Did you follow the flashing processes correctly? Did you do a full wipe before flashing? If not, then try it!
