What does this mean.? Both are the same. Yes you can use lsc kernel on lsa rom as well.
will i again have to do factory reset and wipe cache and all...also when ever i try to move any app using TBP to external memory and after that when i restart my phone that app gets uninstalled and have to reinstall them...is there something that could be done to avoid this?
Changing kernel does not need any kind of wipe. Apps. Moved to sd removes its icon from the home screen. This was a bug in some ics versions, and it's in JB too. So this may be resolved in the official JB

so there is no fix till the time official JB is out? i mean someone might have tried to create a fix for this or not?
It only happens on apps that you force using tbp. The ones that give the option to be moved to sd in applications Works fine.
yes that is what happens, and i have another problem for which i do not want to create another thread, please help me with this...
i installed JB xxlsa to my frnds phone (no root), i installed PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSC-XJB...from pc odin and did factory reset and also reset system, data, cache and also clean cache and clean delvik cache...and now it is stuck on samsung logo with yellow triangle...i am able to go to recovery mode n download mode...in recovery mode it says "failed to mount exfat"...there is no external sd card...please tell me what needs to be done....

Well if there is no (removable) extSdCard then it stands to reason that recovery will report an error when it looks for it. Yellow triangle will occur when flashing any custom kernel with PC Odin and can be removed with Triangle Away app.
JB leaks sometimes get stuck on reboot. Try installing a custom LSC version and use recovery to install zip from (non removable) internal SD card.

In your last post you said reset system, data, cache. Does that mean format? If that's th case there is no rom on the phone to boot. You need to install a custom rom using recovery or stock rom using the download mode. :thumbup:
I missed the "system" part this time.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
you guyz were late in responding and i realised it already that already that ROM is missing and flashed ROM again..thanks to all the members of this forum...you guyz help so many people and hats off to nokiamodeln91 i usually see him as the first one to respond to any thread...(no sarcasm, i mean it)
Ok first off, I am pretty green newbie, please help me understand this stuff.
This is my girlfriend's phone, she was using it and it reset itself and now it seems to be stuck in a boot loop.
We'd like to try and recover the original system back to normal without having to use the built in system reset. I've heard I can do that by wiping the dalvk cache?
It is not rooted, and I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure it out. There's ways to root it but I can't get into the system to run things like zergrush or the other options.
I tried to flash clockwork mod, but since the built in recovery tool only sees the INTERNAL SD contents, I only have access to the EXTERNAL SD card to put ZIPs in. I tried to use ADB to push the zip onto the internal SD Card but it says access denied (because it's unrooted?) Now what?
So short of system resetting it and loosing all the system settings or trying to see if we can send it into samsung for a replacement, how do I do this?
Thank you for any help in advance. Please be gentle.
Put cwm on the phone via Odin, on a question asked yesterday almost exact problem I posted a link with instructions how to do this, MAKE SURE it is a t679 not t759! Otherwise you will brick your device

Unrooted, your only real options are factory reset or use Odin.

That is not true, if he gets cwm on it via Odin he can flash to stock through cwm, doing so would bring the phone back to out of the box condition with 2.3.6. Also it will save ALOT of time doing cwm through Odin rather than return to stock via odin
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
It is a T679, yes.
OK according to the wiki page for the phone, I see how to use Odin to bring the phone back to stock, which is great, but I just want to be able to root it to wipe the dalvik cache in hopes of stopping the boot loop. Hopefully this would get the phone working like normal again without deleting the old system, right?
With the Odin program, how would I use it to force the CWM.zip to root it and give me access to the recovery menu to wipe the cache? Or am I missing something?
Again, sorry for not quite getting this stuff. Thank you for helping.

My bad, I forgot there was a cwm for Odin on this phone. I got mine after the 2.3.6 update and you could flash it thru stock recovery. Plus I've only used Odin once and that was to root my Gtab 2.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
OK thank you guys, using Odin did manage to get CWM recovery pushed into the phone.
The current problem is that wiping cache/dalvik is not fixing the boot looping.
I tried wiping battery stats, fixing permissions, wiping cache/dalvik, etc. and while it does cause the phone to sit on the "SAMSUNG" opening for about 2 mins, it still bootloops after that.
now, because I want to try and somehow preserve the old stock system (she has a lot of settings and programs that she needs to get access to) I can't just wipe everything and start over fresh.
Now, again, I am a newbie, but if I'm not mistaken, can I do a nandbackup onto the external SD card and this will allow me to just wipe to original stock, get it fully working again, then do an ADVANCED RESTORE of only the /system to get it back to the way it was before?
Again thanks for the help (and putting up with newbies) :3

If you go back to stock and then advanced restore system you will probably be right back where you are now. Do another backup before trying that.
P.S. Make sure you have a way to keep track of the backups. Write it down or something.

I used custom rom before and then wanted to reset flash counter using Triangle Away. I installed stock rom, used custom kernel, then triangle away and then flashed stock rom again.
All went fine and flash counter is showing "NO" and firmware is Samsung Official but sometimes randomly System Status in download mode and in Android settings shows Custom. Then if i reboot it shows Normal. Why is this happening and what should I do to make it always show Normal?

Try to root your phone, download another firmware, and flash it with Mobile Odin Pro.
Triangle Away is include inside Mobile Odin flashing, should solve your problem even if didn't work when you did it.

Okay have you tried to use Kies? That is the official way to update your phone. Either Kies or ota. Try this. Use kies upgrade and initialization. If it says your ROM is not supported restart kies and put your phone in download mode before connecting it to PC. Enter serial no and model number into kies.then while phone is in download mode . connect it to PC. This should begin the upgrade process. After it finishes, factory reset phone. Let me know if that doesn't work

Okay, I tried wipe data/cache, flashing older stock rom, cf-autoroot, triangle away, then flashing newer stock rom using KIES and wipe data/cache again. Still same problem, sometimes system status is Modified and sometimes Normal. This is so weird problem...
First flash with kies and do a factory reset after. You should not be rooted after using kies. Do not restore applications from any previous backup. Only install applications manually. Do not restore data either .start fresh. wipe external sd card. Do not freeze or uninstall any system applications. I recently uninstalled "chat on" and got a system modified status that only went away after reflashing my rom. Dont sideload apps . Dont check off unknown sources under security. If that doesnt work I really don't know any thing else.stock rom kernel firmware apps all from playstore no root apps.

I found another thread where someone has had same kind of problem and he had not done ANY modifications to the phone: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2022690
It still said Custom on System Status. I'm starting to believe that there is something wrong with Android that makes System Status randomly show Custom even if no modifications has been done.
i read the link you posted. i would try to either wipe the sd card or remove it just to eliminate that being the issue. also i would suggest you make sure unknown sources is not ticked. and most importantly that you do not batch restore apps. especially app data. one question i have is do you encrypt your file system? for security? and is your rom carrier branded. I know all of the instrucions and questions seem like a tall order but this is how to troubleshoot by process of elimination what is causing the custom status. i hope you get this worked out...
I really appreciate your help ashraf sharif. I just wouldn't like to install all my apps again (did it few times already). I googled the issue more and some people believe Modified status is related to External SD card somehow:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41540
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-rooting-roms-hacks/277639-factory-reset-device-status-modfied.html
So i might give up with this issue. It sometimes says Normal and occasionally Modified but the good thing is the phone is working fine
I Titanium Back up and when mine shows as modified I use it to clear the cache then reboot and it reverts to normal.
The OP prefers to not be rooted so tb wont work. Myself am rooted and always have normal status.

I used Custom roms before but wanted to flash everything back to Stock and Official. I flashed Stock rom and then Custom kernel so i could use Triangle Away to reset the Custom flash counter in Download Mode. Then after using Triangle Away i flashed Stock Rom. So my intention was to make everything on the phone Stock/Official again.
Does your phone say modified when you take out the external sd card? You can simply unmount it shut down the phone and then remove it just to make see if maybe that is the issue. If it is whats causing the modified status then just backup whatever files you want to keep. And then format the card. You should be good to go

Flash a 3 part gb rom. Before flashing do a wipe of cache and data from recovery. Flash with pc odin, then do full wipe from recovery of gb, should clear any traces.

follow the instructions of SpyderTracks only instead of install you can also install jb gb, it is important to do all the wipe format and send it in download mode directly from recovery

Can somebody point me to official 3 part N7000 ROM for StarHub- Singapore.
All the rom I am getting are single file.
There is no need for that rom. Just boot into a Cwm recovery. (if you have already Un rooted then install Philz kernel.) . Format the system, data, cache and preload partitions and then choose reboot download. Then flash a stock rom again.

I am struggling with my Samsung Galaxy Note. My phone over night switched it self off. It wouldnt come back on. I took the battery out and then the sim card. When booting up - I got passed the initial screen of the phone - it went to the samsung logo - now has continued to go back to that screen. I followed advice I have seen on here and pressed the 'on' button, the 'home' button and the 'volume up button'.
It has taken to me to 'Android system recovery' screen. It now has given me 6 options:-
- reboot system now
- apply update from ADB
- apply update from external storage
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- apply update form cache
This is all in blue. Below this in yellow it has:-

--Appling Multi-CSC...
Below this in red it has:-
Various error messages - too many to list
I have read the threads in this forum. I am slightly lost at what I have to do now. I have gone onto the Dr Ketan's link - which has refered me to SamMobile website. I am now downloading some firmware from there that is saying it is going to take 2 hours.
I am not sure what this is and what I have to do with it?!?! Am I doing the right thing?

Hi there - thanks for the reply. I am not sure how to check what ROM I am on - or even what that is? I bought the phone with contract and have not added anything custom to it.
What is rooted?
Sorry if I sound basic - however, I am not a techi....
Any help would be appreciated
Okay, that means you are on stock Sammy ROM. And as you spoke about a contract, is it the international version n7000 or carrier locked version?
Its moot to know if your phone is the international version note GT n7000 ?

You're downloading a new ROM (system). This will wipe all Your phone's data (will leave all the internal and external sdcard files, only apps and their data will be gone). However before flashing it (using ODIN) try to wipe data in the recovery ("Android system recovery", blue text). It will do the same leaving Your current OS. If it doesn't help, flash new ROM (which You have downloaded from sammobile)- use ODIN (find some tutorial for it, if You don't know how to use it). This should help, if it doesn't, the battery may be broken (my friend had such a problem related with battery).
PS. How old is Your battery?

There is a way if it works...
You can try the following:
1. Use Odin to flash a custom recovery- learn from this link here, you will have to do a fair bit of reading though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
2. Reboot into recovery by using the button combo- Vol Up+Menu+Power
3. Scroll to Backup/Restore
4. Back-up your current Rom to ext SD/internal SD card- I prefer internal sd card
5. Now, after the ROM has been successfully backed-up, the backup will contain a snap shot of your current system with all messages, call logs, contact details, account, etc.
6. Go ahead and flash the new stock Rom that you are downloading at the moment.
7. Refer to point 1 to Root it and install a custom Kernel
8. Now reboot the system and install an app from Playstore called nandroid manager. This will help you extract your personal data from the backed up Rom that we did at point 4/5 above.
9. Once installed, open nandroid manager and you should see your backed up rom under backup tab
10. Click on the backup and it will open a new window where you will get an option to restore data (top left)- click on it
11. From this window, you can restore your call logs and messages, apps and other stuff. Please note that its always advisable to reinstall your apps using the playstore because restoration of app+data sometimes messes up the system.
12. Please note that as you have installed a custom kernel and rooted the device, your warranty stands void. Please understand the implications.
Also, if you do not understand the steps involved as mentioned above, please desist and take your phone to the local authorized service station.
There are alternate ways to try recover data, but the I have stuck to the above method and it has worked fine for me in such cases.
Give it a try, who knows a couple of hours of investment will get you a working phone!!! Best of luck!

Hi thanks for this!! On point 3 - there is no option of back-up/restore??
Please refer to point 1, you will need to flash a custom-recovery and kernel to be able to backup your current rom. This can be done via Odin.
I have provided 2 links (Dr. Ketan's guides) from where you can get a step by step guide, please do read it before you go ahead.
