Mine has been returned for service... I too used ROCKET ROM-V20-XXLA4.
But i doubt that had anything to do with it.
I think this happened to 4-5 cases who are on Rocket ROM, have anybody noticed it?

Can you borrow a battery from someone you know and also owns a Note?
Try that battery. Then you can find out if it is a battery issue.
I believe the internal memory may be the issue. This problem has been reported with rooted and non rooted phones. I have not heard of anyone reporting this issue with the snap dragon version of this phone. As wonderful as the exynos is I think that it is the culprit for these failures. I have read that the problem persists even after a stock firmware reflash. Another thing I have noticed is that there is no way to reformat the internal memory with odin. When you select the option the odin flash will not start when attempting to revert back to stock firmware. Wiping the cache and formating internal memory from the stock recovery has also not helped. So far no one has been able to successfully restore the phone to working condition without sending it back to Samsung.
facing same problem
Hi

Try to borrow a full battery from fried oder neighbar. Put in your Note try to switch or bring your Note in recovery Modus. Try it wenn you are in it, cleare cache.
Pretty much why I only use roms that are damn near stock.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. = CheckRom.
Did you shut down the phone or did it run out of battery?
I posted in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26743522&postcount=24)
but I think my phone died because I had shut it down via the 15 toggle bar. It has the wanamlite rom title and when I shut it down, it doesn't even turn on anymore.
Update:
Somehow got the phone to boot using a usb external battery and now it appears to be working properly...No need for service for now.
Update #2
Dumb enough to try and replicate the problem, my note is not starting up anymore. After shutting the phone down and removing the battery (as the original reason was to access the SD card), the phone is no longer booting up anymore.
Update #3
Ok, it appears that the phone has problems when the battery is removed. My external usb charger battery seems to act like a jump start. I've noticed that the battery capacity % jumps up and down...first it was 17% then it was 91% now it's at 48%. So maybe it isn't booting up because it thinks it's 0% but when there's a bit of a charge, it starts to work. However, it didn't seem to work with the computer USB probably because it wasn't charging fast enough? The phone seems to be working for now...I hope I can reset the count before anymore problems persist.

Actually that's the problem. Only ROMS and kernels based on stock versions are dangerous. And stock ones are dangerous too.
Until now I would only recommend using ROMs and kernels based on CM9.
oh no
same symptoms but i am on stock ics 4.0.3 lpa rooted don't know what happend i am playing zynga poker and suddenly my phone switched off now it is not turning on tried everything removing battery, everything it was 27% charged please help guys:crying:
Galaxy Note GT N7000 not opening
My Galaxy Note is not opening to the main screen, the only thing that you see is SAMSUNG flashing like Christmas tree lights. I have rooted with franco kernel, CWM, ect. I haven't had it that long; I have taken everything out of it and restarted it and I have also replaced it with a new battery because initially it was getting very hot, now just the top part underneath the camera lens gets warm. I have also tried to download in odin mode and the screen just shows Andy and nothing happens for hours. I have also backed up and restored, rebooted the system itself. I thought I have done everything I could and my issues were slightly different than others on this forum. Any help would be appreciately greatly! Thanks
What Rom were you on?
If you have Cwm, you could wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot.
If that does not work, boot into recovery and take a backup using the backup & restore menu.
Then do a wipe data/factory reset and reboot
Hello everyone!
I have searched for other members who have this specific issue.. But I wasn't able to find any. So.. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Note (N7000) Model with a Screen Flickering issue. A few weeks ago I first experienced this after installing JB. I have tried several different clean installs with different JB leaks, even AOKP roms and more. But nothing seemed to fix this...
For a year my Note was working perfect, battery life was amazing and I loved it... But somewhere (between JB custom rom installs) it feels like it broke something... My phone works perfectly for like 6/7 hours now, it even goes in deep sleep and I have even bought myself a new battery... (So it's not a battery problem!)
At the moment I have returned to the RocketRom JB version (since that one was the last rom I have remembered before my phone died). But I still have this problem... So... my phone drains fast, and at around 5-30% battery left, according to the indicator it starts flickering when using apps and just interacting with the phone itself... And all of a sudden it just drops out.
Here's a quick recording of the issue. You can clearly see the flickering and the dropout.... I hope someone has any tips for this issue.
i had exactly the same problem
i solved it when i buy a new one battery.....and yes now its working like a new one.......
Replace Your Battery
I already replaced my battery... still have the problem.
Hello Experts,
My battery was holding charge for not more than 5 hours daily hence I wanted to take a physical look at the battery. After inspecting the battery i found that battery had a bulge. Anyways i decided to continue on same battery for some time and inserted the battery back again, but the note refused to boot. Even it boots, it freezes immediately after 7-8 seconds. I tried various recommendations on the forum but nothing is working.
Here is the solutions I tried:
1. Replaced the battery with colleague's note w/o success.
2. Flashed my ROM back but again same symptoms, phone freezes after 6-7 seconds.
I am currently running superbeans 1.3.1. Had installed this 4 months back but phone was never so unstable.
Please help.
Try the app called "Dummy file generator" I've heard that this app helped to some people to avoid freezes
Hi,
A few days ago I upgraded my Note from a very ancient (stock) Gingerbread ROM to (stock) Jellybean. I hadn't been getting OTA updates because the Gingerbread was originally German rather than UK, so quite a long time had passed without any updates. Anyway, because of the no OTA, I used Odin. Everything went fine and I had a nice few days of usage, although the battery consumption seemed to suddenly be quite high, mainly due to additional wakelocks from the new Google Search it looked like. The night before last at about 3% the phone turned itself off, which is unusual as normally the battery will run itself lower than that. BTW, it's an official battery bought just a few months ago to replace the one before, which was getting old.
Yesterday evening when I went to use the phone it was dead. Completely unresponsive. It wouldn't charge either. (The battery had been at about fourteen percent I think, so it should have still had a lot of juice left.) Turning it on would leave it stuck on the Samsung logo only. Recovery mode didn't work, but I could get download mode up, so I installed the Philz kernel as people have said, and then did a reset using that, and all was okay again and after reflashing the ROM I could use the phone again, although because of the reset I had to set everything up again.
Just wondering what people think caused it. Just a weird coincidence, or something else? As far as I'm concerned, the problem has been sort of mitigated for now, but definitely not fixed, because what's to stop it happening again? Has anyone heard of strange things going on with Jellybean? I know there's an issue with flashing/resetting from ICS, but I never used that so I don't think that's an issue, and it looks like it was just a soft brick only. Still, a bit weird and worrying. Does anyone have any ideas?
That was caused by an unexpected shutdown of your phone - if you remove the battery without it fully turning off then you will get it and yeah, blame samsung.
The only way not to have it again is to flash philz kernel with the bootloop fix BEFORE you get the bootloop. Alternativly, if you get it again then you can try what is in this post:

I didn't take the battery out though. It was low but not dead.
Since then it has happened once again, a few days ago, this time at 93% full. I was doing nothing at all taxing to the phone. I was just in a shop listening to an mp3 with the screen off, and then it stopped and the next thing I saw was the bootloop. Luckily (thanks to the new kernel?) I could just delete cache/dalvik and be back up and running again without having to reinstall everything. Today my screen temporarily went a weird purple colour like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216867 . Sounds like it's just dying in general really, rather than anything else. My phone contract upgrade date is in two days. Purely a coincidence of course. Weird how phones tend to last about the length of a mobile phone contract. Until then I'm just running on power saving mode and hoping for the best.
First off, an introduction. I seem to have bad luck with Android devices. Oh well, I love them anyway! Had a Galaxy S Captivate, Then a Tmobile Galaxy S 4G, and finally my N7000.
Problems have come with every device. The Captivate couldn't connect with Odin back in the day, so every flash was a dirty flash since I couldn't go stock. The Galaxy S 4G would constantly have problems. It was fine for awhile, but the ROMS never lasted. Always started to restart and glitch out. Random reboots, etc...
Now for my Note. It has been a great phone, despite a few drawbacks. It's over 2 years old; I purchased it right after they first came out. It worked great for about a year, even on custom roms. The last year, I've fallen way behind in the development area, but I've always ran custom. This whole year, I've been battling a couple huge issues. It started out as bad battery life. No big deal, I thought. Check stats, find the source, fix it. Then I try to flash a new rom. Still doesn't work. I end up living with the issue. That problem escalated into restarts, and even worse battery life. A flash or two later, and nothing worked better. Eventually, about half a year ago, I noticed my battery was started to swell. Thought that was the source of everything. I was wrong. New battery, and my phone is running just as bad, while getting steadily worse daily.
Presently, my phone is a mess. It's running ParanoidAndroid 4.3, BUT I am downloading the Team Asylum Kit Kat ROM right now as I type this. On PA, I have left the phone nearly completely stock since the flash. I followed the installation perfectly, even completely formatting both my internal and external SD cards to ensure a 100% new flash. Of course, it didn't help. Currently, my phone's battery won't last a day on light usage. 9 hours of life, and it will be to 5%. The last 30% of life drops EXTREMELY fast. When the phone was new, I would go 2 days on a charge easily. The source of this battery loss appears to be the infamous ANDROID OS, but I could never find the source, despite multiple apps trying to monitor my CPU and Batterystats. The phone runs Ok enough for daily use to the point where I have dealt with it. The phone will freeze completely every now and then, and a lot of the times it is on the lockscreen. On a complete freeze, it always results in a fast reboot after a minute or so. The last problem I can think of is my inability to read the external SD. A few weeks ago, my phone froze up completely, like normal, so I yanked the battery and rebooted. It started up as normal, but my external SD was nowhere to be found after that incident. No idea what happened, and I haven't had the time to try and get it working again.
Thank you to whoever took the time to read this. I'm sure some of my issues have already been covered in other threads, but I've tried things before and nothing seems to help. Maybe I just have a defective unit. It is getting old after all. I'd really appreciate anyone who might be able to help me resolve these issues. Getting this thing running smooth again would be like Christmas morning all over again.
QUICK SUMMARY FOR THOSE THAT DON'T WANT TO READ EVERYTHING
The phone is over two years old. Used to work good, now it doesn't.
-Replaced battery earlier this year since I noticed swelling in the original.
-Battery life is terrible. Dies after 9ish hours on LIGHT usage. ANDROID OS is the culprit. Used to last 2 days or more.
-Random restarts and lots of freezing.
-Freezing caused my external SD to completely disappear. Haven't been able to get access since.
-Running ParanoidAndroid 3.4. Flashing a new rom after I type this, but it probably won't change anything.
There's your short summary, although I may have already answered some of your suggestions up in my original post. If you can, at least read the second to last paragraph.
Again, thanks to anyone who can offer assistance! It would mean a lot to me since I feel like I still haven't gotten my money's worth out of this thing. Unlocked phones are spendy...
I would go back to stockbased custom roms 4.1.2 I found them very bettery friendly.

In my opinion you do something wrong. I tried several roms and never had strange battery or random reboot problems. Im now on AryaMod V4 and before SweetRom 10.5 and months before SlimBean 2.2 4.3.1 , all excellent Roms.

I've used SweetRom, ParanoidAndroid, Asylum, and Stunner, as well as many different versions of them all. They all worked great back in the day. I'd run them for long periods of time without any big issues. It's just lately, the problems are getting worse, and I don't see how I could be doing anything wrong with the installation.
Installed the latest 4.4.2 Asylum Omni last night. It's running really smooth so far. Other than having it fail to load the google startup thing on first boot, it has been working great. A restart fixed that, and nothing else has happened. Battery life is dropping pretty quickly however, but I need to run it through a few cycles to see how it works. I'm at 65% after 6.5 hours with light usage and 34min of screen on at max brightness. Screen is back on top of the list, as it should be, and is far exceeding Android system and OS, so I'm hoping it works better now. Time will have to tell on this ROM, but I'd still love to figure out why I've had so many problems with other flashes.
