[Q] Currently unable to install any rom

Hi guys,
Current situation
I haven't been able to use my phone for a good day now and I been busy reading guides, trying out stuff for a bunch of hours now. I thought it was time to ask you guys. Currently this is the only thing I'm able to do:
When I boot normally its stuck on the black screen with Samsung Galaxy Note on it.
When I boot with volume down, a screen popups up if I'm sure than press volume up. After that I'm in ODIN mode (says so with red letters in the left top). Below that it says: PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7000 , CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO , CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL.
In the middle of the screen below the Android guy it says: Downloading... Do not turn of target !! (I'm not really sure if its suposed to say downloading there, while its not downloading anything?)
What I did so far
I came from a gingerbread Rocket ROM and decided to try out the ICS Stunner rom. I downloaded the ROM and read the install discription. I pretty much went into CWM right away to install the zip (rom) from SD card. It did work and ofcourse everything was still there cause I didnt wipe anything. But I noticed that a bunch of things didn't work and a lot of programs where crashing. I assumed I must have missed a step so I decided to go with the 'Squeaky Clean' install, which was posted on the team-passion website.
This was the last time I was able to get into CWM and connect my phone true USB with my laptop. Because I did the following steps:
Reboot in to ClockworkMod Recovery.
Format the following:
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
**Enter 'Mounts and Storage'**
- Format everything it will allow you to
**Go Back, enter 'Advanced'**
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Wipe Battery Stats
**Go Back to main menu, reboot system**
The next step on that list is: Remove your battery and boot up into 'Download Mode'. But the only mode I am getting into is the ODIN MODE where it already says 'Downloading...'. When I try to flash using ODIN, it isn't able to setup the connection. It does identify that the phone is connected because the ID:COM is yellow on 0:[COM3]. It didn't before, but after reading somewere that it might help to install Kies for the drivers it did.
Also tried "InitialCFRootFlasher" and "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" but both arent able to establish the connection. Just like ODIN.
What I'd like to do
I'd prefer going with the ICS Stunner ROM, seeing thats how this all started. But currently I'd settle for anything working, because being phoneless for a day is pretty anoying hehe.
What do you guys suggest?

I really don't know how u understood the process. But just don't screw this. Go download any of the pre rooted odex rom -link in my signature - and flash it via odin.
Or any rootable rom from dr ketan's thread - link in my signature - and follow the steps mentioned there to the Dot slowly and calmly. Just get to GB and rooted. Then report here. Will tell u how to go to ics stunner after that.
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm currently downloading one of the prerooted roms from your signature. However it would suprise me if ODIN allows me to install these seeing it can't really connect to the phone. Am I suposed to be in the 'Downloading... Do not turn of target !!' screen on my phone, while connected to laptop true USB?
Will update once I'v got it.

Yup u need to be in that mode. The odin on your PC should show the Com port as yellow. If it doesnt then there is some drivers problem.

It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading any rom in PDA, Phone or Bootloader and only checking auto reboot and f. reset time this is what happens:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
And thats where its hanging, nothing on the phone screen is changing.
I don't remember the screen saying 'Downloading..' last time I flashed something. It's already saying that when I enter the screen, when its not downloading anything.

Apparently I'm not able to make edits yet here so heres another post after figuring out how to load these files:
It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading the three files in ODIN under PDA, PHONE and CSC just like on the screenshot in your signature. And only checking 'Auto reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' the following happens:

Done! I'm still not sure what went wrong, I think placing the files in the wrong place in ODIN. Got a tip from someone how to place them and they worked in one go. Pretty weird cause I was using the same setup as the XDA guide post.
Main problem is solved now, I'll have to look into the ICS thing now. Thanks for your help.

Sorry was away so couldnt reply. The setup shown i xda should work perfectly. Anyways its good to know that you got all things settled. You can install the ICS Stunner (no touchwiz and no samsung apps) if you so want. Remember to backup your data as you will have to wipe data for going to ICS. From rooted GB install mobile odin then download the lp1 repack from my signature and after all that is done reboot to recovery clear caches and data and flash stunner (download the latest build by clicking Stunner in my signature) clear caches and data and reboot.
* Triangle away is required only when you flash lp1 through PC Odin.*

Ended up using the mobile odin application, works like a charm.
Thanks for your help!

Please help i think i brick my phone

i was going to flash the new 4.0.4 version of ics today so i went to use cwm on my hong kong 4.0.4 version ics to factory reset and it got stuck, so i pulled out the battery and when i turn it on its stuck at the samsung logo boot screen.
I try using odin to flash roms but they are all stuck at NAND WRITE.
i try using a pit file to repartition my samsung but its stuck at the connection part T.T
i had this similar problem before installing a custom kernel on a stock ics and i bricked my phone but i managed to fix it with a pit file and dr.ketan' s pre rooted gb rom then flashed a ics from there.
Now i cant even flash dr. ketan prerooted gb rom because its stuck at nand write please help T.T
NOW EVERY ROM I FLASH IS STUCK AT SETUP CONNECTION PART INCLUDING KERNELS EVERYTHING I CANT EVEN GO TO MY RECOVERY MENU T.T

i am not able to flash that kernel its stuck at setup connection

if it stucks, just unplug the USB cable, then plug it back in, and ODIN would readily detect that.
If not still use a different USB port to plug it to.

but sometimes it nand write stuck T.T

First find a steady USB signal in one of your USB ports.. Plug to that port (to clear the issue on stuck in setup connection), The problem in the stuck connection you have is that Odin can't find a strong usb signal to send to, to your phone. Try using a different usb port (not a usb hub if your using one), then follow the previous post on top -#2 link.
Worst case scenario on your issue would to be, to take your phone back to SSC and have them replace the mobo... Your phone just got hit by the brick bug bud

wait a minute..how did you install the kernel ? thru PC Odin? Where you able to boot your phone in download mode? (not the recovery mode). If you are able to, Plug your phone to one of the USB ports on your computer and open back PC Odin. Follow the steps on the link I posted - #2 on top my post for you to bring back your Note in tiptop shape.

i was on stock ics kernel hong kong version of the rom then i went flash cwm from stock recovery i tried factory reset on cwm and boom my phone broke.

can you post that link you were told to flash the kernel to? That link might be an outdated one already. Anyway the point now is how to revive your brick phone. In download mode, try to flash back to stock GB and again make sure your plug to one of the usb port on your PC and make sure 'Reset time' is tick in PC Odin. After you got the stock GB in place in the 'PDA' part, try to reflash the stock firmware again.

Is your phone rooted before? You can't make any nandroid backup if your phone is rooted. Now given if your phone still has root on it. What was the last kernel that your phone was using?
Please bear in mind, you need to really understand the instructions presented on that link I gave you. If it helps that you need to read it from the start of that thread down to the very end, then do so. It's the only alternative way I can advice you to revive your brick phone.
Now the other second option though would be (like I've said earlier), to send it back to Samsung.
Those are your only two options....

i used pit for repartition now when i boot it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again but i cant seem to connect my phone with kies? it just say connecting.... stuck there..

You will most likely need a motherboard replacement... sorry

[Q] Galaxy Note doesn't go beyond logo and stuck at Downloading.. PLZ HELP :(

Hello all,
I read now the warning post and I understand now that probably I shouldn't have done it (so please be gentle ).. however maybe someone can still help me with my situation:
I've rooted my Galaxy Note with ClockworkMod recovery successfully and then busybox.
Then I went to recovery mode again (after restarting the phone), however it loaded Android regular recovery mode (not Clockwork), so I installed Clockwork again and without restarting performed WIPE DATA (maybe that was also a mistake?). After it was finished it restarted by itself and now its in the following status:
- stucks at GALAXY NOTE N7000 logo. Sometimes blinks, but never goes beyond it.
- Recovery mode exactly same - stuck at logo.
- when plugging USB it will show the battery, but it's like stuck then.
- Tried download mode, but it's stuck at Downloading... forever.
I couldn't find the exact case as mine, that it restarted by itself and stuck at logo now.
I backed up everything, the previous ROM and etc.
I am aware of the bricking bug of ICS, however I had the ClockworkMod installed, so what did I do wrong??
And most importantly, what should I do now? Can I do something via the download mode? I don't think Odin recognizes any connected device when I plug in the USB, but I don't know how to check if it does or not..
Thanks in advance!

Switch to download mode, connect to PC and install a stock JB (be sure to install the USB drivers before).
Make a snapshot of the errors an post it here.

I don't understand this.. my stock ROM was:
Baseband Version: N7000XXLB2
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXLC1
I don't know what coutnry, I bought it from Netherlands, I live in Belgium, but it could be from any country in the region!
I cannot find this one exactly. I find many with N7000XXLB2 and many with N7000XXLC1.
Which one should I choose?
Also, can I install a JB or ICS directly?

Please let me know I'm doing it right (cause this is getting really insanely ridicilous):
1. I install PhilZ recovery mode via the phone recovery mode.
2. I install a stock ROM (I tried many) via Odin download mode.
All the time stuck as Galaxy N7000 logo. Never goes past it.
Every time I install a stock ROM it also removes the Philz recevory mode, but maybe that's ok..
Anything I'm doing wrong??

Why don't you follow my advice from second post and then show us a snapshot of PC Odin.
No need for Philz when installing a stock Rom with PC Odin (it's always deleted).
And tell us what Rom you install.

So I don't wipe anything and just go to download mode and install a PDA file of a STOCK ROM, that's it?
I tried that, but now I will be more specific (and in another guide they say to do some steps before, so its very confusing already).
I also asked above how do I know which ROM I should install?
and also, how do I get errors log? there were no errors when I was installing the PDA..

No going into recovery mode after restart this time and still same problem.

when you flash a stock rom with pc odin, the phone may not boot. If you have flashed a GB rom then when you are stuck at logo enter stock recovery with three button combo and then wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and then reboot.

I flashed a stock rom as explained above, not a GB. I tried wiping cache and all data through recovery. Nothing helps. You say it might not boot, so how do I make it boot with Stock ROM?

stock roms can be ginger bread (GB), or ICS or JB (jelly Bean)
flash a GB stock rom, wait for the proceedure to finish completely, when you see its not booting then use three buttons to get into stock recovery and then wipe then reboot

I already did, the last post was a GB, i tried to wipe out everything afterwards also.

By "ClockworkMod" you mean CWM.zip right? This is a temporary recovery that disappears upon reboot. It also LETHAL to wipe with when running on top of a stock ICS kernel.
So to sum up;-
You were running Stock ICS.
You flashed CWM.zip (from YouTube or where ever) from stock 3e recovery and then flashed Root/busybox file.
Booted back into stock recovery, flashed CWM.zip again and performed wipe data/factory reset with it.
How am I going so far?
Bad news - you have most likely superbricked your device.
If so,new MOBO or repartition is only way out now

it might be mess up.. try get 5files wif bootloader n place it accordingly in odin .

Yep, emmc bricked. Send it to servicecenter, they repaired it for free, for me. Or you can do the workaround http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886 , but i dont would do that, as you will get many freezes maybe. Thats very annoying.

[Q] Unrooted Note stuck on Boot screen, Help

Hello, I've had my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 for about a year now. I've never rooted it before.
This morning I was browsing my phone and it just shut off and went to the "Samsung GALAXY Note GT-N7000" boot screen.
I saw on other forms instructions on how to hard reset the N7000 (Remove battery, put back in, then hold Volume up, Power and Home button, then it gives you a menu to choose from)
When I do that it doesn't give me a menu screen, It just goes to the boot screen I described above, or it goes to the little green android man with the rotating object in him, then back to the (GT-N7000) boot screen a few minutes later.
I have a macbook, so I can't use the odin program. (Nor would I know how)
I don't mind wiping all the data from my phone and restarting from the beginning.
I have all the stuff I need (phone numbers) stored on my google account. And I can redownload my main apps I liked.
Any ideas?

Update
I have a windows computer I can use, so I want to use Odin to put the normal firmware back on my phone.
I am having a hard time finding the USA firmware for the GT-N7000. I have been looking all around but cannot seem to find it.
Can anybody help me out?

Check in Samfirmware.com.

No USA firmwares

Thank you very much I'll go ahead and use the UK one since it will boot in English then.
Any tips on using Odin? Or things I should do or avoid? I don't want to brick my phone by accident.

Use the rom in pda. Don't tick anything else other than default.

You sir, are awesome.

Thank you! That was exactly what I needed to know!
I'm currently downloading the ROM, I will update after I've used ODIN.
Also my phone is at 100% battery in preparation since people said to make sure it was charged before flashing.

Slight Problem...
I'm using Odin v1.85 following the instructions above and it has gotten stuck on "NAND Write Start!" for the past 15 minutes.
It doesn't seem like it is going to do anything. What should I do?

Still? Wait for some more time. Then kill kies processes and run odin as administrator. Boot into download mode again. And try.

I'm windows inept

I waited about 15 more minutes then held the power button to turn it off. So now it's off and charging again.
These may be really really dumb questions, but:
1) how do i kill kies processes?
2) And how do I run as administrator?
Sorry, I'm sorta windows inept since I've been using a macbook for the past 5 years.

Open task manager and check anything related to kies. Also make sure samsung usb drivers are properly installed. If not or in doubt, download and install kies first. Then plug the phone in and with for the drivers to install.
On the phone and check what is the message on screen, if it's a firmware recovery screen the try connecting with kies recovery option. If still stuck on logo, kill all kies process. Right click on odin and run as administrator. The put phone on download and flash.

Trying it soon
I didn't have kies installed, so I am installing it right now. So once that is installed I will try it out and let you know if it works :fingers-crossed:

Updating right now
I just started updating at 10:28
I downloaded Kies, and the screen wasn't in emergency recovery, so I killed all kies processes and then i put my phone into download mode and started ODIN v1.85 as an administrator and plugged in my phone.
By 10:29 it hit <ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
It's 10:45 and it's still on NAND Write Start!!

There must be problem with emmc. Use the pit file method to install correctly. Flash the pit file first with re-partition ticked and others un-ticked. See if it goes successful. Then flash your PDA with re-partition un-ticked and reboot and reset ticked.

Is there any certain pit file thread that you would point me towards?
I been looking and I found a couple, but they all vary a little and I really really don't want to brick my phone.

Use the pit file from Dr ketans flashing guide

I went to Dr. Ketan's post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 and downloaded Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
Right now I'm flashing the pit file first with re-partition ticked and others un-ticked.
What should I do if it gets stuck at <ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!?
It's been at that step for about 7 minutes now, and I just want to know what I should do in case it doesn't move past that.

I've been flashing it for about 20 minutes now, using the pit file with only re-partition ticked. It hast't moved past <ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Should i be worried, or does re-partitioning with the pit file take a long time?
Was I supposed to have the PDA file in there too while flashing, or just the pit file? I really hope I didn't f this up...
I don't want a really expensive paper weight

DEAD
It was sitting there flashing with the pit file and my friend threw a ball at me and it hit the usb cable and it unplugged my phone from the computer. Then the computer wouldn't recognize my device anymore. I tried to turn my device back into download mode to restart the process but it won't even turn on or show that it is charging when plugged in.
I guess this is the end
Unless anybody out there is a miracle worker.

[Q] How to go back to previous ROM version?

Hi everyone,
Long time no see.
I updated the ROM to the latest version last week, i.e. Android 4.1.2, n7000xxlso, kernel version 3.0.31-906407, builder number JZ054K.N7000XXLSZ. This update sucks as it drains my battery very much. In addition, the phone became less responsive possibly due to less 'free space/free memory' left. I would like to go back to my previous version, could anybody kindly advise how I can do that please? My phone is SIM-FREE, I am in England.
Many thanks in advance.

Download your old version and install it. Because you didn't tell us what your old version was, there isn't much help possible, isn't it?
a) Stock version from sammobile, install it with PC Odin
b) Custom Rom: follow the installation instructions in the specific thread.

If you want to go back to this GB version, download it from sammobile.com or here from one of the old Stock Rom threads (please search yourself for it). Install it with PC Odin. If you do not know about this read Dr. Ketans's thread.

Hi ThaiDai, many thanks.
However, I think I may have bricked my note now. I downloaded the official GB ROM (N7000XXLRK---4.0.4/12.07.24-N7000XEULP5---Download--United Kingdom / Ireland), which should be my previous ROM (the one I mentioned in previous post was wrong, I remember I have updated it to ICS). I closely follow the steps suggested by the post, and from Odin I see this info:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

After this procedure, the phone reboots but stucks at 'SAMSUNG' logo and won't carry on anymore...
Urgent advice is need, please!
Many thanks.

Check if you can get into download mode.. If you can try to flash GB this time.. And also do not do any wipes on 4.0.4 in recovery (if can go into recovery mode).. Did you do any wipe on JB before flaahing ICS?

Can get into download mode and recovery mode. I think perhaps I should try the latest JB ROM? Are you able to let me know which GB ROM to use this time?
Many thanks

You can try either JB or GB.. You can find them in dr ketans thread.. If you are installing jb then after flashing make sure to install philz kernel (zip file in stock recovery).. But as you are stuck you might have to do the wipes.. You may download philz kernel for ics corresponding to your firmware and do all the wipes and then flash jb..

Many thanks, my friend.
I notice that the note can be charged thus I guess it is not 100% dead at this stage, it is possible I can save it.
Please could you advise some important steps on how to complete the process of installing an official GB ROM. My note is from O2 UK, ORIGINALLY UNLOCKED, and currently with T-mobile UK SIM card.
Questions:
1. Can I download the latest GERMANY version of GB or JB?
2. I know how to do 'downloading' mode and install ROM via PC Odin, but how to install Philz kernel through 'recovery' mode?
I would be most grateful if you could guide me to the steps for the whole process/steps to complete the ROM installation based on my situation, thanks so much!

Check the this link for downloading stock JB and also for install method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
first you need to put the philz kernel (zip version not tar) on your external memory from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?3ale6m9q6b6a3
and then go to stock recovery and select install zip and choose the zip file and flash it, reboot to recovery again, do all the wipes and try flashing JB from 1st link.
