I'm sorry for my bad english and because I opened a topic here,but I don't know what else to do.
help me please
Go into recovery & wipe.
Do you have working download?
i have just did it and he reacted in same way
Try to wipe dalvik-cache.
you said something about download,what do you mean?
Don't flash until you know what you're doing... biggest mistake i've witnessed in the past 5yrs. You literally have to read up. It's not bricked, reflash it with odin with your stock rom and call it a day.
Dude means download mode.. 3 button setting for Download mode of course, we figure if you've got the time to flash, you've got the time to read for 5 mins

I promise that this is the last thing I ask you.
thank you

[Q] Updating UK Tab to 2.3.3..<gulp>

I'm just about to update my UK Froyo Tab (P1000XWJM1) to 2.3.3. I have all the files that I need:
Odin 3, v1.7, of course,
P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar
gt-p1000_mr.pit
dbdata.tar
CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS to root it.
Just in case I f**k it up, I also have my original firmware files:
P1000XWJMI-REV03-ALL-CL869777.tar.md5 - I think I use this one
MODEM_P1000XXJMA.tar.md5
GT-P1000-CSC-SERJM4.tar.md5
P1_add_hidden.pit
BUT, I don't seem to have a dbdata file for the original ROM.
Can anyone please tell me where to get it or do I simply not need it?
Many thanks. Apologies if this is not the right section for this question!
ok. This totally worked for me without any problems at all. I'm now on 2.3.3.

Find N7000 All stock ROm link from my signature, n go with any ROM you like.
Keep in mind, if you want to keep rooted, just select older ROM
the problem i am having now is its not even rebooting and i am having a firmware upgraded encountered an issue and i cant get into recovery mode the only thing i can get into is download mode and when i try to install the custom rom..you provided it says end on odin and when i try to install the leak ics it stays on hidden for hours..is my phone doomed..

Which country are you in?
Canada and my galaxy note was brought from Germany so i don't thing Samsung Canada will cover the warranty
Which firmware have you tried? I'm guessing with it being a german note in canada you are gonna need to use european firmware?
This is the one i've just used and i have just come back from using the Chinese leak myself.
Is your note the 16gb or 32gb version? Check to make sure you're using the correct pit.
Open Odin 1.83
Connect your phone in download mode
Use the correct .pit in the PIT tab
Unpack the file you downloaded and put the Unzipped file in the PDA tab
Make sure re-partition is ticked and press start
All should be ok
Once done you can root and CWM with the links in Dr Ketans sig and you're away
its the 16 g
it did not work there was no pit file with the link you gave me and the pit i have says 32 g and i dont know where i can get a 16g pit if there is such thing

@ nuklearmonkeyuk: I am searching for a 32 GB PIT-File for rooting my Note (32 GB). Can't find such at all . Are you shure it exists?? All my searching failed, only found 16 GB PIT. Found a Post that said it don't care. Can you help me please ??
Edit: want to root my Note using Chainfires TUT, so I have to downgrade to KJ1. Dowloaded it, it's a "3-Part" one (I think) with a 16 GB PIT file.

[Q] Galaxy Note from China (GT-I9228G), change to western ROM?

Hello all,
During my travels in China, I picked up a GT-I9228G galaxy note.
Back in the UK now, and hoping I could change the rom to the english varient of GT-N7000? I am assuming GT-I9228G and GT-N7000 is the same device, just different regional roms(?).
The boot screen is chinese. It has chinese apps on it which I cant remove and no app store amongst other things. Ideally, would like to make the phone all english. Is this possible?
Just a bit of background on me:
I used to own a HTC PDA which I swap roms from developers here and very familair with jail breaking on apple products. Andriod however is new to me. I am a quick learner, so any pointers would be great please guys/gals.

I guess you could... Lots of other people bought their galaxy note from Hong Kong and also from china and they all changed their ROM for a same reason of yours.
Does not the 9220 using a snapdragons and not exynos? I not sure but I thing I have read it somewhere so carefully before flashing.

So, potentially I could just change to the one below?
N7000XXKKA ## 2.3.6 2011 November N7000CPWKK3 United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse) Download
The box says 1.4 + <insert chinese characters here>
From wiki -A dual-core 1.4Ghz Exynos processor or a 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon S3 processor (AT&T, SK Telecom, KT, LG U+)
So my guess is Exynos. Anyway to double check?
ok, so I have downloaded the above rom and Odin3 v1.83 from sammobile.
I have opened Odin3 and specified the PIT file (Q1_20110914_16GB)
I have also ticket re-partition, auto reboot and F.reset timer.
I have loaded the rom under PDA (N7000XXKKA_N7000CPWKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar), everything else is unticked.
I have the phone in download mode ready.
I just need to know if the above is ok or am I missing anything before I click START and brick my phone?
Thanks,
Chris.
well I tried anyway.
That didnt work.
Now the phone says "software update fail"
I can still get into download mode, buts thats about it.
tried with and without the PIT file.
Anyone know what I should do now please?
I'd say you'll have to find a rom for that model
maybe http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9220&r=2#regiona
You might have bricked your phone by checking repartition in odin. You should not have. Now you probably need to find a pit file for your model.

If you could enter download mode then try these steps
1. Open Odin and flash Pit file only and Re-partition ticked. (do not attach any ROM)
2. After this again flash ROM without pit file and re-partition un-ticked
This should work.

Thanks,
The first part seemed to work ok, so then went onto flashing again without the PIT file. Failed
Back to square one (software update fail message).
Going to try the original ROM, but takes about 6 hours to download from china!.
Ideally, really dont want to use the original ROM though! I'm guessing the original ROM isnt going to work now anyway since ODIN3 has re-partitioned the device(?).

god, you can't flash n7000 roms on the china note, you will surely brick your phone and good luck.

You're wrong. Several have tried and it's working perfectly with n7000 roms on i9220 phones.

I am also doing this on a macbook via Boot camp (windows partion). Maybe it has a problem with that. Will try it on a normal PC too.
Any other suggestions before I head home from work and play later?
Oh, I forgot to mention. I read somewhere (forgot where) that I should root the device prior to changing the ROM. Is that true? If so, I dont think thats something I can do in current state

you can try flashing kernel with CWM in PC Odin, then flash any Custom ROM using CWM Recovery.

CWM is clockworkmod right? Dont I need a rooted phone in order to install it?
Or do I follow something like this? http://whatareandroidphones.net/root-samsung-galaxy-note.html
Yes... CWM recovery doesn't need root.
hello,
Didnt have the time to work out CWM, but was given a link to another rom which had three files for ODIN3 (http://hotfile.com/dl/149302861/1896440/N7000XXLA6_N7000XEULA1_XEU.rar.html).
So, loaded the above and the phone is back in action on a N7000 rom. Wohoo. Just glad it's working again more then anything else lol!
This rom is prerooted apparently too. know idea what I should be able to do now. What does one usually do when they have a rooted device?

you need to make sure you have a pit and repartition ticked as the partition layout is different
thanks for the response. but the .zip file that i've downloaded only contain the .tar file and .dll file. where can i find the pit file?

go to samfirmware.com and get a firmware for your region with pit, full instructions over there
unfortunately i didnt know the version and region for my device. if i flashed another rom first can i detect the region version?

??? Where do you live?!
i lived in malaysia but i bought this phone, second-hand actually from a unknown person. so i have to choose malaysian version then? lol sorry i'm really noob about this thing
if its i9000 then just find i9000 firmware for Malaysia
and practice using the thanks button
i already checked the malaysian version but that is carrier-based version. i'm confident that this phone is not from a carrier.
long story short, i bought this phone but still in stock Samsung 2.3.3. then i flashed the value pack and later on i flashed the ICSGCS rom. the baseband version of my i9000 is I9000XXJVU. so which one should i choose?
i'm really confused here.
i think i got it. i'll try to flash the file that i've downloaded first. thanks for your help sir
my solution is solved. thanks for giving me tips and clue where to get the stock rom
