Hi,
1) to fix the problem, get the recovery mode and wipe the cache partition and maybe you need to do a factory reset (it will erase your configuration);
2) to installa a custom rom you need first to root the smartphone and second install CWM recoverty 5.x that override stock recovery;
3) boot in cwm recovery and install CM 10.1 (install zip from sd-card).

yes but to install CWM you need to access in recovery mode;
if it's not possible, you need to use ODIN and flash first stock rom.

[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?

this phone was complety stock and dont boot.i flashed the root with the android system recovery,the i tried to return to the factory setting without success,the same with the wipe data or cache.then i tried to flash with the android system recovery another rom ([ROM][Samsung gt-s5570]MiniMod X FINAL -very mini very fast) and give me the error,the same with other rom.All the procedures were tested more times.
answers 4-5-6-7
i tried to flash the cwm without success from the sd..i dont try kies, but odin and drivers are all ok because detected the other s 5570 that i have..the usb cable is ok. I tried to wipe data but give me an error (i wrote the errors in the other post)
no idea??
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] Galaxy note N7000 root fail...HELP!!!

Im a total novice when it comes to rooting. i did manage to root my N7000, but after a few hours my phone became quite muggy...i rebooted it and on reboot it said "upgrading".
Since then it has been unusable, i did the volume up/home/power button and tried a wipe data....phone still wont respond well. keyboard doesn't work, cant get a signal, and its generally so groggy, its pretty much unusable. i managed a factory reset with phone switched on, still no better.
any help would be massively appriciated
Adam:crying:
Relax mate! Am guessing a simple flashing of the stock firmware will solve ur issue.
Sorry, but wrong section mate! Please report this thread to the moderators and have it moved here:

Ok ..
First of all if you have properly rooted your android device with (clockwordmod recovery) or any other recoveries etc you need to have a Rom to flash it through this recovery
It is recommend that you must have safe kernel before flashing any ROM. Please download any of CM10.1 ROM from the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397
Now Get the ROM for your appropriate device from the link below. Select the device and download the ROM. Use any Stable or Nightly version.
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/
Next thing you need to download Google Apps package called GAPPS. Its latest version corresponding to CM10.1 android version 4.2.2 is on the top of the screen. (20130301) using link below
http://goo.im/gapps
Put all the files to micro SD Card. Since your operating system is not working so you may have to take out SD card and put these downloaded zip files to SD card using jacket or your laptop SD card slot.
Now Switch ON your android device to Recovery Mode by Holding Volume Up+ Power and Home Button together
Do following:-
Wipe data/Factory reset.
Wipe Cache.
Wipe Delvik Cache in Advanced Options ..
Fix permissions.
then go to your SD card and flash all these files in order
Flash the Kernel first and after flashing Reboot Your Recovery.
Now Flash
1. CM 10.1
2. GAPPS
Reboot .. n enjoy your new rooted phone
If you still face difficulty let me know ..

P.S
Although i haven't reached the 'recovery mode' part yet, i can tell you that the only options are:
reboot system now
apply update for external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
the delvik cache & fix permissions are not options
Adam
Here ur options
Two options with you
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Download clockword mod recovery from here.
Again I recommend using Chasmado Kernel and it will automatically install safe recovery files. TWRC or CMD Recovery

[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

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

Odin still says "RESET" then about 5-10 minutes it become "PASS"
but still my phone is stuck
am i need flash it with other rom?
anyway i get some problem, i can open my recovery but when i press my power button it cannot select any of recovery menu. But i still can navigate wiht Volume button
u can open the recovey so u dont need to worry
firstly do a complete wipe of all user and system data
if u are on plilz recovery there is a option to do so in the wipe data factory reset option called "clean to install a new rom" do it
thenif u have a official jb 4.1.2 firmware flash it via odin if u want to go back to stock or there are many kk roms and customized 4.1.2 roms available here do a research and flash whatever u like

You currently have the stock recovery, not Philz.
Go into your current recovery and go to factory reset/data wipe (use the volume up and down keys), to select it use the power button. Once you have factory reseted your device, reboot.
If that doesn't fix it then do the following:
Download any recent Philz Kernel for JB from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Copy that to your external sd card (go into recovery and connect your Note to your PC or if that doesn't work, do it through a different phone or an microsd card reader). Flash that file in the stock recovery, reboot to recovery again. Once you have philz, perform a full wipe (you should have that option in factory reset/data wipe otherwise wipe /system /preload /data). Once that is done, reflash with Odin and then again: go to the stock recovery and perform a factory reset and reboot, now it should be working.

If u have a backup of the boot try flashing it OR since u are able to access TWRP, flash another ROM(which was stable) properly after wiping the partitions..
U can copy paste another ROM zip file from pc since the internal storage can be accessed from pc in TWRP mode..
Good luck!!
Same happened here. Please suggest some solution.
same happened to me: the phone was encrypted!!!
i discovered myself that... or the twrp 3.1.1.0 does NOT support encryption............ OR the resurrection remix rom that i used does not support encryption.
try to format data, change file system and return to ext4. i fixed the problem reflashing the new rom but this time KEEPING THE ENCRIPTION OFF
My phone TWRP-looped many times. The solution is actually easy.
1. Reflash using SPFlashtool ONLY the stock recovery
2. boot into stock recovery
3. choose english > press reboot phone
4. phone will reboot into rom without problemos
5. reflash TWRP
cheers
or
1. Copy stock recovery.img into sdcard
2. In twrp, select Install and navigate to where you put stock recovery.img
3. Press install image. Then, Select recovery.img. Slide to install
4. boot into stock recovery
5. choose english > press reboot phone
6. phone will reboot into rom without problemos
7. reflash TWRP
DONE
