[Flashing] I f***** up, help needed.

Zup,
I rooted a while ago, and since i'm running Ubuntu i haven't managed to get CWM yet, so i noticed that i can use Odin Mobile Pro to do it so i installed it and downloaded the correct kernel. I opened OMP and browsed to find the kernel on the internal memory but i can't choose it (it's a .RAR-file), so i extract it to see what's hidden inside. According to Odin i can flash "zImage" so i do it. Big big mistake.
The phone won't boot now, and the only thing i get is the "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.
What to do?
Thanks in advance

I can enter Download mode, and that's it. Some help here please?

Use pc odin and flash a stock rom. You must be in download mode

Thanks.
Where can i find a stock ROM? And do i need ADB installed or is it OK with the drivers from Kies? I'm asking since i'm using Ubuntu so i'll have to use my brothers PC, so i can't install a freaking SDK.

Got a stock ROM now, downloaded the ADB files and Odin, so i'll see if that works..

You should just try to read a little more
Kies drivers should be fine. Go to the development forum and you will find stock roms thread.

Awesome. Downloading XXLA4 now, but it takes forever... 100KB/sek.. Horrible servers.. FML

Still downloading the ROM.. WHY in the sweet hell haven't anybody made a torrent or uploaded it to another place? 2 hours to download 550MB on a 20 Mbps connection is tragic..

Update: OK, i'm up and running again! Odin worked like a dream without any problems Thank you so much Indie!
(I don't have any "Thanks" left today, so i can't thank you again)

you said downloading LA4.
Just make clear, LA4 wont Root directly, n looking to sequence, you are going to flash it with PC Odin. If i m correct
Just Downgrade to old version, get it Rooted, then update to LA4

i had the exact same thing after flashing LA4 and had to use odin to flash an older rom to get it booting to then get root access and restore a backup

Yeah, i noticed this when i had downloaded 300MB of LA4, so i didn't bother to stop it and select a rootable ROM I just wanted to get my Note working again. But i'm already missing root like crazy, so i think i'm gonna downgrade and root it again very soon.
Edit: Wait a minute.. I was rooted, i messed the phone up, flashed LA4, booted up the phone, nothing got wiped but i lost root.

ya it is nonwipe version so even with PC Odin, you won't lose anything BUT just ROOT

Aha!
But if i choose to flash another ROM with PC Odin, will i get the triangle at boot? Do i only get the triangle when i flash unofficial ROMs like CM9?
I'm a little unclear on these parts.
Sent from my iPad GT-N7000 using xda premium

No it won't give you triangle if you flash any stock ROM. It gives only when you flash custom(yes like rocket/CM9)

Ok, I did what you said, now it just goes to 'logo_ql.jpg' draw failed. It also wont let me get back into download mode, it just goes to this message. now what?
EDIT, nevermind, got it into download mode... guess i just need to keep trying different roms to figure out which one works?

You said your note came from repair and it was on download mode. I think it was NOT REPAIRED AT ALL. Country or region has nothing to do with manual flashing. You only need region when using kies to update.

Tbere is no need to try different roms as every rom is like same. Not much difference. Maybe your device is hard bricked and writing isn't possible. Get your motherboard replaced.

Don't ever wipe using stock ICS kernel. It will hard brick your device. I think now already got affected. Flash a safe kernel first then wipe.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App

So I have a question. I had tried rooting my device and it failed into a soft brick. Previously I had jzo54k on there. Using Odin I installed the Poland software but it seemed to have failed because now I am not able to register on a network. I have an international version of the Note 2 that I am using in the US. Since I am not able to connect to a network I am lost as to what to try. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Never mind... I got it. I had to update only via Kies. And then from there it pushed my original software. Thanks!

Stuck on Splash Screen. No recovery. Odin not able to flash roms.

Hi
My stock JB official unrooted rom suddenly went to a bootloop. I looked up online for solutions and flashed an official JB ROM for my phone and Odin failed to flash it. I tried Philz recovery but Odin failed to flash it. I got a yellow triangle which I was able to removie through Odin. Currently my phone is stuck on the splash screen. Recovery doesn't work. Odin fails when I try to reflash with a md5.tar file. Please experts help me with my problem. would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

In Odin what all boxes did you check to flash the original firmware?

when trying to flash the stock firmware with Odin, are you booting the phone into download mode or recovery mode? make sure its in download mode...

Personally I would try flashing each individual file I.e. bl, csc, etc. Try combos make sure your in dl mode and have drivers installed
Good luck

I believe you have to skip the BL file, as in do not flash the BL file. Plug all your files but the bl file and flash them. Because of the bootloader being loacked, it seems it will failed because it can't actually flash the file. Here is a great thread to get you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785363
Good luck. Report is it works.

The phone is not totally bricked. The correct firmware needs to be re-flashed, as what's been said. You used the wrong one, as well as the wrong Odin. You should be using Odin 3.09.

OTA update keeps falling....

I'm trying to complete the OTA update on my 925A, however after it downloads and reboots to begin installing, it's says "update failed". Is there anybody else experiencing this issue, and does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

If your Edge is currently rooted, it will always fail.

In my case I de-rooted by doing an Oding restore, but was still getting the error. This was due to CSC (partition?) changes I made while rooted. I had to Odin all 4 partitions back to stock before the update worked for me.

Have you completely powered down the device and powered it back up and tried again? Is it redownloading the file each attempt you make?

Where did you grab all the files? Which do you put in each slot?

I believe I got the file here. Unzip the download, and you'll find all 4 files. Each file begins with BL, AP, CSC, and etc, so you know where to put each file.

I tried to factory reset and then update, but it still failed. Thankfully I have a Samsung kiosk in my area, so I just went there and had them manually flash the update.

best way to simple reflash stock

my friend has this phone, and he is having lots of issues, im thinking something is corrupt. i have been looking through the different threads trying to figure out the best route as i dont own this phone. i remember in the fascinate GS1 days, i would just download a tar and flash in odin with a repartition file to start fresh again. im getting lost in these forums looking for the files i should get, and the procedure i should follow.
would someone mind leading me to the proper procedure and files to the most relevant stock rom please.

Before trying to reflash stock, confirm the bootloader on the phone to ensure that you flash the same or newer ROM.

Could you list the firmware in order from oldest to newest for me please? I'm having trouble finding a list... Man it sucks trying to catch up on a phone from so far behind.

the phone is on oc2 right now.. 100% stock. im having trouble locating oc2 odin tars and pit. did they ever get pulled? and if not what baseband\ tar would be safe to flash to?

You may be able to flash This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/n900aucucnc2-odin-files-t2838117
or this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/100-stock-lollipop-5-0-n900aucueoc1-t3069609

thanks

do i need to include the pit? i thought i read somewhere not to include pit on the 32gb model. that may have been in the international forums though.

A pit file is only needed if Odin can't read the partition information.
There is only one version of the att note 3.

Thank you very much. Everything went smooth. I did the 4 file flash method as what I read seemed to point to that being the best method. The phone works great again.
