Odin hangs flashing factoryfs.img [while downgrading from ICS leak)

Hello everyone
I hope one of you might be able to help. I wanted to downgrade my Note to stock GB because I lost root on an ICS leak. I have done this successfully before but today pc odin suddenly hangs in the middle of flashing the factoryfs.img of a stock kernel (I used this one but tried others as well: N7000XXKJ4_N7000VD2KJ1_N7000XXKJ4_HOME.tar.md5).
Because of this I can now only boot the phone into download mode. I have also tried to use a pit file (as you can see in the screenshot, where I used this file: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit), because I thought the partitions might have been corrupted or changed by the ICS ROM but this didn't help either.
Do you have experienced this before? What else could I try?
Thanks a lot for any help

Why dont people make backups before flashing new roms
Takez 5-6min in CWM to make a backup of your current rom
If any thing goes wrong or you just want to go back to the old rom you just run the restore and you are back up and running in under 10min

Shouldnt have needed Odin to downgrade, if ya created a firmware folder on ya sd and followed ketans cwm guide to flash bk to rooted stock ya wouldt have an issue.
As for odin you flashed wrong, previous comments are right, your re-partition shouldnt have been on if you were flashing the all in one firmware thru pda, and you certainly shouldnt have been using the pit file to do that.
Hope you sorted the issue out, seriously, its risky business, the guides here on xda are perfect working guides, make sure you read them thoroughly and familiarize yourself with what your doing beforehand.
Also noted your using odin 1.85, i had issues with this, i reverted to odin 1.83 and have never had a problem since, give it a try, but if ya can enter download mode then ya shouldnt have an issue, i would reccomend downloading firmware KL8, set the pit file, re-partition and the other 2 leave ticked, set modem, code and multi csc, and flash and dont touch it till its finished and reboots, after that ya can then go and do whatever, but this should work, i downgraded from ics to kl8 no problem with odin 1.83.

Relax fellas! Your Notes are not committing mass suicides... just yet. Use the pit file attached below to flash your favorite (rootable) stock Gingerbread ROM. Just hit the "PIT" button in ODIN and select the pit file. And ALSO the PDA field should also be selected. Just use one of the guides. You need to extract the rar to get the pit file. I hope this helps.
Edit. When you select the PIT file, the repartition box will check itself, don't uncheck it.

Tried flashing multpile ROM's (GB and ICS), but even when they do succesfully finish I get stuck when booting at the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen - with a nice yellow triangle.
So I'm done with it for now. Not trying anything new, until the guys in the Dev section find a way to fix it.

I am one of those who flashed TRR 1.6 with the angelom 1.2 kernel,
and while it didn't, luckily enough, brick my phone, it caused all sorts
of weird stuff, like gmail crashing etc.
I then flashed, as advised in the TRR thread, abyssnote 3.9, plus restored
a RR v22 backup, I'm back just fine now.

After flashing via odin a cf-root kernel, my i9000 does not want to run Boot (boot loop)

You took the right one for your firmware, there are many many versions from cf-root ...?
Flash it again, sometimes it failed by me, too ...
I flashed again and it works ... Only kernel
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

flashing 10 different firmware is enough??
I really don't know what to do!!!
this is what appear when I try to wipe data/factory reset:

Follow the above link.. you'll have a GB rom which is rooted along with CWM recovery.. flash any rom that you like after that or you can keep this one too

you used odin to flash a cf-root kernel.. for some reason (either it was a wrong kernel or something else) your rom is not booting... the one I told to flash is a stock rom / darkryrom which comes with its own kernel..
If you are saying that you used the link I posted and then also you are having bootloop but still able to go to download mode then I don't know how to explain it..

As I said, a pic would be better to identify the problem... and if you are not facing any problem with darkyrom, flash that and then choose any rom of your choice and follow the instructions given in the first post of the rom to flash it...
I recommend staying on darky's for sometime and read about different roms and stuff to make a choice..

download the latest firmware from above link.. its a stock samsung firmware..
the zip file that you get here, unzip it.. there will be three files.. pda, modem (phone) and csc files.. download .pit file from here ..
in odin put all the 4 files.. tick repartition, reboot and reset time and flash.. this should make your phone work..

It doesn't work with this firmware always the same problem
I think there is a problem with the internal memory, have you seen the first photo?
formatting data it gave me this:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
seems that it can't access to the memory

earlier you wrote that you could only find .tar and .dll file in the zip downloaded from sammobile.com, how were you able to flash that?
I read through the other threads.. found three more methods to try to get rid of this problem..
First one
using odin just flash the pit file first.. click on repartition but don't click on auto reboot... after its a success... flash rest of the three files I mentioned earlier (you didn't get those three files from the firmware you downloaded from sammobile.com, I don't know why, so maybe this won't work for you)
Second
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-rom-darkys-resurrection-edition-9-2.895/
use the above link to download Darky resurrection rom 9.2 .. its a froyo rom I know.. but first lets get your phone working then we can upgrade it to GB... This may work as I think it converts partitions to ext4 system (not sure) so that rfs system error that you were getting shouldn't cause any problems..
Third
Darky Resurrection 10.2
This also uses lagfix that is converting partition to ext4 but as mentioned in the link, it doesn't convert /system in ext4...
Also, go through the link below

maybe something in here could help

Keep an eye on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567394&page=2
a link will be posted here in sometime where you'll be able to get all the three files along with the pit file for the stock rom.. That is the last thing as per me that can rectify your problem.. once you get all the files.. flash... if that doesn't work then I'll suggest download the stock rom for your region from sammobile and flash it even if its just one tar file before taking it to the service centre

What u just did was absurd. NOBODY flashes a custom rom on stock recovery! Also, NOBODY flashes CWM by changing the file name to update.zip!

It's just another form of download mode. It's the download mode when there isn't any rom installed on your phone I think. What you should do is to go to that screen, plug in your USB cable, and flash stock rom via odin.
Try following the guide in my sig.

dude i have one samsung galaxy y gt-s5360 and samsung galaxy 5 gt-i5500. i have flashed those two a hundred times using odin and never got any problem! den why i am getting stuck in galaxy mini only? even the procedure is all the same if flashing via odin in any of these samsung android phones!

Since you have experience in flashing phones you should've know that stock recovery is useless for custom roms... try getting USB jig, it might help... you can make your own very cheap, tietgan posted guide about it and I know that guide works, bcause I made one on my own and tested it

Flashing via odin only, doesn't mean u know how to flash custom roms. Anyways, u should've flashed cwm via odin and then using cwm for custom rom. So last resort is usb jig (as said by yackovsky) which should work most of the time. Else its service centre with the excuse u updated OS and the phone does not work now. Gud luck. Hope u get the mini back from the dead.

Rename ur ops file to TASS_v1.0.ops (for galaxy mini). This should work. Mbib download problem occurs only due to wrong name of ops file.
Also, note that if ur ops file name is wrong, You'll not see ur device model number on odin's title bar.
Hope this helps!!

dahh...see, even a small mistake like that can't be seen by some one who has a lot of experience in flashing via odin like you...be more gentle :good:

Flash cwm with odin.... And make sure your drivers are up to date.

[Q] Stock Recovery Problem

Hello,
First, i install a cwm for galaxy s advance here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987313 and i did everything according to what the developer instruct us to do, like pressing vol up+ power button + home button for stock recovery and apply update from sd card and find the update.zip(which is the cwm). While installing it stops and says that:
E:failed to verify the whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
install_package = (2)
i'm not sure what's problem: is it my phone, or the cwm file itself. My galaxy s advance android version is 2.3.6(gingerbread).
Is there someone who can help me?
Regards,

OMG ... You did not read carefully you buddy. That you install the CWM for the stock ROM JB (4.1.2) or [Recovery] CWM 6.0.2.8 [JB Compatible]. :crying: Not for OS Gingerbread. If you want to do you have to do the firmware update first to stock ROM Jelly Bean (4.1.2) via Odin.

No, you can not flash CWM from GB. Because CWM can only be flashed with JB. So you need to update the system prior to JB.
Or read how to guide here how to do a system update from GB to JB.

Hello There,
First, thanks for your reply. Well i've already did what you had suggested still it doesn't work. My phone needs to be rooted for me to use Rom Manager and i also tried to find a compatible CWM for my phone through ROM Manager and there's none.
Regards,

Just asking

Hello There,
Ah i see, btw you said it yourself that i can't flash CWM when i'm using GB Android version, why does my friend's galaxy pocket can flash CWM even if her phone is GB? I know this is a Galaxy s-advance thread, i'm just asking? I hope you can give me a definite answer.

Hm .. Well.
first:
Why do I have to recommend you to install CWM to go through the stock ROM JB (4.1.2)?!. Coz SPECIAL S ADVANCE DEVICE that using OS GB till now still haven't found a thread is in this forum, and in other forums outside of this forum. And this is in accordance with the suggestions from those users advanced level, up from the creator of the application. If you still contains hard, want to install CWM in GB, are welcome, but I would not recommend it, of course, do at your own risk.
second:
If you look at the friends that you can install CWM, confirmed the developer has given his support to the device in order to install CWM via OS GB. I hope it's understandable.
For more details information, please consult the the advanced level users such as:
1. Senior @shut_down
2. Senior @R_a_z_v_a_n

Simply, we do not have CWM made for GB, we have TWRP. We have recovery embedded in same partition as kernel, so if we want permanent CWM we MUST flash kernel with CWM. - Is it more clear now?
Some phones has separate partition for recovery, so they can install it that way. And our phone is not compatible with ROM manager, Mobile Odin and all similar stuff.
Do not compare other phones options, because it is differed.
Most important thing is - what do you want to do? If you asked that in first place, we would cut to the chase and save you a lot time.

I guess you have to guide him to do the installation Stock ROM JB, Senior.

Maybe he do not want Stock JB ROM.
BTW to save time:
Download JB firmware from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com, DOWNLOAD IT FOR YOUR PHONE MODEL - IF YOU HAVE I9070 THEN I9070, IF YOU HAVE I9070P THEN I9070P FIRMWARE - OTHERWISE YOU WILL HARDBRICK YOUR PHONE.
When you downloaded it unpack it if it is zipped, if it is in tar.md5 then you can use it without unpacking.
Guide for using Odin (with Odin link) is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398 zip of it is password protected, you do have password on that page.
After that do factory reset if you get in a bootloop.
For CWM, download CoCore with CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597
Unzip it, transfer kernel.bin.md5 to phone, install Universal kernel flasher and some root explorer like ES file explorer. Install kernel.bin.md5 from Universal kernel flasher reboot, and you have CWM on JB.
That is if you want JB and CWM on it. For GB - we do not have permanent CWM, only TWRP.

Well, Senior. Perhaps this is also a valuable lesson for me. Thank you for the explanation of the long-width. I'll mark this post as a precaution for the "the First Aid" in the future. Thanks in advance. :good:

i know that doesnt make sense . thats what has my mind screwed. I have flashed lot of times recovery stock roms and done this believe me. i have also a Note4 running a custom s7 edge port
But this is something which has happened for the first time maybe due to fail of other variant T817 Boot and system image which i flashed via odin. I feel something is wrong with boot not flashing or some thing gone wrong with param.bin which contains boot image
I request T817T please share pit file for T817T. as neither odin is doing the job nor the TWRP full backup is removing this issue. I am really stuck since last 7 hours . flashing reading flashing. My brain has gone bonkers
never had such issue in my 8 years of flashing custom rom history

What i feel is that something went wrong when i restored backup there were 3 other partitions namely system image cache image and radio image.
i also restored them along with system,data,cache,efs radio,and radio. as far as i remember that is something which i never did or had options in note4 TWRP restores .
please see the image of TWRP below.the partitions which are unchecked were the ones which i restored via twrp

Nothing to do with the pit file, that will achieve nothing. Your kernel is incompatible with the bootloader or vice versa.
You need to flash complete stock for your device, it must be the correct and complete firmware.
It also must complete the installation by rebooting to stock recovery after flashing with odin.
You will also need to factory reset in recovery after downgrading to 5.1.1.

I have both odin firmwares complete of T817T. The thing is it is not completing installation by rebooting into stock recovery. it just boots after flash to rom
how to get it boot automatically in recovery after flashing stock rom?
i have OEM Unlocked ticked and usb debugging enabled in settings can this be the cause?
EDIT:Flashed again stock but it again doesnot go to recovery and boots rom,tried going to recovery by keys method. it said installing updates.. CSC applied .did factory reset but still same probem there

I just checked with phone info app my Firmware CSC code is missing where as Active CSC Code Shows TMB, Also where previously it was USA in CSC Country that is also blank now
rest bootloader,pda,baseband are APB1 latest firmware .
This was present previously . i am sure since phone is not booting immediately into recovery CSC is not applied
Where can i find Stock firmware Which Has AP BL CSC seperately not in one file , maybe that can solve the issue any help pleasssssse anyone

:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::good::good:
hurrrrrrrrrrrayyyyyyyy, finally i did it . and now the isssue is resolved . Damn i was screwed.
1. I downloaded the rom with 4 files AP,CP,CSC,BL. and i have extracted the pit file from the CSC file as well. if some one needs its attached below
I salute maker of Samfirm 3.5 tool which gave me options to download the rom in 4files. searched for 8 hours continously . And after flashing as 4 seperate files . It finally resolved
and now gonna flash back my TWRP Backup
i guess now its not safe flashing stock roms of other variants on Tmobile T817T :silly::silly: . i have been sitting on pc searching and flashing like a mad man for last 8 hours straight
i have high doubts that the csc issue was the reason when i flashed wrong Boot.img and system.img of T817 Turkey 6.0.1 and maybe pit file was neeeded . Any thoughts?

This is not an issue, this is a feature I have added to TWRP.
The image backup options you see are RAW image backups of the entire partition not just the parts that contain data. The same thing you would get using the DD command in ADB.
This also means you can flash Samsung factory images directly from the firmware with twrp.
It's all explained in the OP of the TWRP 3.0.2-1 thread.
