[Q] URGENT HELP PLEASE: Phone Not Starting With Any ROM - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys!
I tried flashing my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with Rocket Rom, but before installing, I found a difference between my phone & the sample video.
The Data Wipe/ Factory Reset took ages and eventually, my phone just restarted. That's not usual for a Factory Reset. I still proceeded back to Recovery and completed the other steps - Clear Cache Partition, Dalvik Cache, Format System, Format Preload, and these were all fine.
So I proceeded to install the ROM, but after installation it got stuck at the boot logo screen. I looked it up and saw the best solution to go back to Stock GB Rom. Since I'm in India, and bought my phone in November 2011, I went for: N7000XXKK3_N7000ODDKK1_INU.
But after flashing this rom also, the phone isn't starting. I'm able to get in and out of recovery and download mode easily. I've also tried flashing other kernels - Hydracore v4.3, SpeedMod etc., but none of it makes a difference. Wipe Data still takes ages and eventually just restarts the phone. Phone doesn't turn on past the boot logo.
PLEASE HELP.

The first time you wiped data/cache/Dalvik did you have stock ICS kernel on your device?
And if you are able to complete de the flash with Odin.. Flash the gb rom and then go to recovery.. And wipe/format everything from stock gb recovery then reboot
Tapatalking on my n7000

yeah.. what happens when on GB , stock recovery and you do a wipe data / factory reset ?

edit: why would Hydracore (an ICS kernel) work with GB? you need a GB kernel or the phone won't boot.
if you can get into download or recovery mode you are okay.
it doesn't even matter if you can't wipe anything and have to flash the ROM 'dirty'
flash GB rooted stock via odin, install CWM, three wipes, and go back to wherever you want.
don't bother worrying about your CSC code, as if you are on a stock ROM you will be unable to update (for good reason)
you can always flash back to another ROM with your CSC of choice if you want to go back to stock for later.
also, if you are having issues wiping maybe try flashing a no-wipe rooted stock GB rom. there is one or two on the appropriate thread.

you factory reset the phone. only ICS (and possibly JB) have the MMC_CAP_ERASE bug

Hey Guys
I tried installing Stock GB ROM again, but when I try and do the wipe via CWM, it still doesn't complete. I try turning on the phone and that won't work either.
I'm really confused and worried. Have I superbricked my device? I'm still able to get in to Recovery & Download so that gives me hope.
Please let me know. Is there any way out? I heard from someone that my motherboard may need to be replaced.
Many thanks in advance.

did you do the wipes on unsafe ics kernel? Or on unknown to be safe JB kernel?
If on unsafe kernel likehood brick very high...
If on safe kernel and superbrick, then the kernel needs to be reported.
So you are on GB. Do a factory reset, then wipe cache. Still no boot, flash cf gb kernel, or speedmod and format mounts, all(not efs) (take out external sd before) you will loose all data.
then you have clean condition. Flash gb throught pc again.

Galaxy note stuck at boot and not installing any other rom

i have a problem with my galaxy note, i was using isc stunner rom and everything was working fine. My battery got drained and the powered off, so i charged it and turned it on , the phone got stuck on the bootscreen. It does not boot up, so i tried to reflash the same rom but didnt work, i wiped my memory card but no luck. Now whenever i try to flash a rom cwm gets stuck on installing update. Please help me and reply asap!
go to download mode and flash a stock kernel. search in this forum how to do that.
Take out the external SD card
download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your external SD Card
Also download the Rom you want to install and put it on your external SD card.
reboot to CWMR
go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery
factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
flash the Rom of your choice
I tried to flash abyssnote kernel but when i flash it the installation is stuck on 'Installing update' and it just stays there and never progresses in any way.
so yeah whenever i flash the kernel im stuck on 'installing update'
any fix for this bros?
You lost root mate..
There is a thread with "Stock Prerooted GB ROMs", go there and download any one and flash it using PC Odin..if flashing with PC Odin succeded but yo0 still get bootloop reboot to recovery and do a factory reset/data wipe, it'll boot without issues
Then go to Chainfire's thread and get the CF Root kernel for the ROM you just flashed, because the prerooted ROMs don't have CWM recovery..fladh that kernel using "already rooted.bat" method described in post #2 in Chainfire's thread..
You'll end up with stock rooted GB and CWM recovery..from there you choose what you eant to do
probably best starting from scratch again and installing a gb from via odin

I have a similar problem. After installing Stunner ROM on my note, it work for a bit, but then I don't remember what I did, it is now stuck on boot screen. I can't do anything except boot into recovery.
Did I lose root? How exactly can I fix it. I read the post you referred to, but I can't do anything when I execute Odin with my Gnote N7000 connected to my PC. Can you tell me how exactly I have to do? Please provide the exact link for any software I need to download.
Please reply ASAP,
Appreciated.
You have to be in downloadmode to b able to work with PC Odin
( Device off ->Volume down + Home + Power.)
same here but when factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cache.
all is working fine.

Thank you! Yes now I have communication to the phone using Odin! ) But I 'm still trying to figure out what exactly I need to do to get back on stock GB and then go from there (ie. what file(s) I need to flash back to stock GB. My original GB version was 2.3.6). If you know, could you please provide me the link(s) to download those files. I did tried "wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache" in recovery as the other gentleman suggested but did not work. So I guess I do need to flash back to GB .
Thanks a million

I was in a boot loop recently. I just flashed a stock GB rom via PC Odin, and reset to factory/wipe cache in stock recovery. Booted up after that. Important part is get GB on there and do the resets. Then you can worry about root, etc.

Oh thanks! Can you provide a link where can I find the stock GB rom for my note. I have the Gt-N7000 model and my original GB version was 2.3.6. This is all I remember - can't remember what kernel, baseband etc.
You can flash any stock GB rom you want. Just choose one from dr.ketans thread in development section
Thank you
TY for this granular info.

Thank you so much!, bro. Now that I 'm clear I just picked a rom from 'bodivas's post' and re-flashed it back to stock and everything works like a champ now! Just didn't know i could have used any of those - thought I had to match exactly the specific versions of kernel/baseband/country etc. etc.. hahaha.... Next I 'll work on the ICS again. And thanks & credit for everyone who have helped.

Phone restarting after flashing to Stock GB ROM

Apologies, but since I am a new user, I was not allowed to post in the thread in developer section.
I had bought a pre owned phone, on Rocket ROM (GB based), however as S-Pen apps were not working I decided to go on the stock ICS rooted way.
I followed the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I had downloaded the stock INdian ROM
N7000XXKK3 ------ 2.3.5 2011 November------ N7000ODDKK1 ------------------------India -------------------------Download

I followed the steps, downloaded Odin, and put the TAR file in PDA section, and flashed. All goes fine without error, on the phone it says everything is installed successfully. However after the process the phone just keeps restarting after the Samsung logo.
Have I done anything wrong here? How do I rectify the mistake and get my phone working
Did you clear cache/dalvik or do a wipe in recovery menu ? Looks like it's stuck because of leftover data from previous rom

Umm, pardon my ignorance as I am migrating from an ancient Nokia device.
No, I had done no such thing, no backups too as I just had it for a few days and no data so to speak of.
Should I be doing a wipe in recovery menu? And doesn't flashing the device, formats the memory too?
I think it should, but for some reasons it does not. To get rid of boot loop, go into recovery and clear cache. Should boot properly then
Also, avoid doing a factory reset on stock ics. If clearing cache wont help, i'd suggest flashing gb stock rom, doing a wipe and then upgrading to ics as wiping under ics has caused people a lot of troubles.
Yes you should do a wipe of cache memory and dalvik cache. That is availible from recovery menu. And no they arent allways formatted when flashing a new rom.
To go into recovery, do this.
Device off > vol-up+home+power. And now you are in recovery mode.
Also, avoid doing a factory reset on stock ics. If clearing cache wont help, i'd suggest flashing gb stock rom, doing a wipe and then upgrading to ics as wiping under ics has caused people a lot of troubles.

Thanks, I had read up how much ever I could, and am pretty wary of the emmc bug. Thats the reason I am flashing to a GB based stock rom, and then the ICS stock rom.
The error I got earlier is by flashing to a Indian GB Stock ROM, should I yet clear cache memory in the recovery mode?
A little bit of googling tells me I should be flashing to a ROM with multiple files (different ones for PDA, Modem, CSC etc) hence I am also downloading the stock Europe based ROM. Now the query is would the stock Europe GB ROM, cause any issues to a Note bought in India?
Edit: I wiped the cache partition in recovery mode, but the bootloop persists. I will try flashing to the Europe GB ROM and update.
Thanks, folks was able to install the Europe stock GB ROM, which I later flashed to an Indian stock ICS ROM. I have rooted the phone by a very helpful guide by Dr Ketan, however I miss some of the functions available to me on the rocket GB based ROM. Especially an option to have a data on/off option in quick notifications.
What is the purpose of rooting the stock ROM? Can I delete the bloatware that comes pre-installed on the stock ROM, once the phone is rooted? If yes how?
Any safe custom ICS ROM's you guys recommend? If I am right the correct way right now seems to be to flash a safe GB based ROM everytime before you flash an ICS ROM? Correct?
Last but not the least, thanks to the folks who replied and guided me in the thread, XDA is a very resourceful place, if you search it thoroughly.
About notification toggles - they are available in some roms, in others - not.
As far as rooting is concerned - yes, you can delete almost all the bloatware. There is a thread with APKs that are safe to remove - check it out and feel free to delete everything you won't be using. How ? Simple file explorer with root capabilities will do. Here's the list, thanks to pulser_g2:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
Safe custom ICS ROMs - I'd say go for CM9. For me, AOSP is the only way to go with Android. If you want TouchWiz based roms, however, can't really help cause i've never used them - there are plenty in development section though.
Nope, you don't need to flash GB ROM everytime. The problem with wipe affects only stock ICS roms ( so with stock-kernel based roms from Samsung, yeah, that's recommended ). But if you're going to flash/change/update roms like CM9, Criskelo etc. there is no need to go back to GB everytime.
Hi i was on ICS stunner and flash via PC Odin Stock GB rom.
everything goes ok but now i'm stuck on Samsung logo (bootloop)
i have to do cache/dalvik wip but i have only stock recovery.
Is there any way to do that on stock recovery or i have to flash a CWM instead ?
And if i have to so how to do that ?
help guys

Download abyss from the following site:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar
Flash the file with PC odin then reboot into abyss recovery. You can then do the wipe.

[Q] Flashing procedure

Hello,
I'm new at flashing but I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note, which already had Stock ICS on it.
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband: N7000XXLPT
Kernel: 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
Got brickbug confirmed that I am running a dangerous eMMC chip firmware. I bought this Note from eBay and I'm guessing the previous owner did a reset. It is still working and I had no trouble with it, so I guess I got lucky.
Since I would like to return to a safer kernel and install Paranoid Android I read myself into some threads but would like someone to review what I've gatherd:
Flash save kernel for ICS, for example speedmod kernel with PC Odin.
Device should reboot into ICS with new kernel.
Flash Gingerbread stock ROM for my country (germany) for example this one:
N7000XXKJ4 ------ 2.3.5 2011 october-------- N7000OXAKJ4 ------------------Germany (Debitel)
Device should restart wirh Gingerbread and an old Gingerbread kernel(?)
Root and install CWM using Dr. Ketans guide and batch file.
Follow instructions to install Paranoid Android v0.4 from CWM
I have some questions for this as well:
Speedmod kernel flashes CWM with it. Does that mean it flashes the kernel and the recovery partion, too? As I understood, the CWM works from inside the initramfs, which I thought got flashed with the kernel on the /system partion (or maybe the /boot partion) but not on the /recovery.
Does CWM disapear, when I flash another ROM?
I am pretty sure, that I am running a free (= open) Version of ICS on the phone. When I install a Stock Gingerbread ROM with a Carrier afterwards (like above the Debitel company), do I have to expect weired stuff?
I am running Win 7 64bit, and I would run Odin v1.85 with admin rights. Kies ist installed. Odin found the device, too.
Thanks in advance,
gador
Speedmod Kernel will install Kernel, CWM and Root - And is flashable via odin or mobile odin.
CWM will disappear if you flash a stock ROM via ODIN, If you flash a custom ROM through CWM you will keep CWM (may change depending on kernel from the ROM)
If you flash a branded ROM via odin, You will probably get a lot of carrier branded bloatware on the device, But if you are sim unlocked, you wont get any weird issues like network unlock codes and so on.

So I guess, I can go ahead and they're no fatal flaws in my procedure?
(And flashing stock ROMS overrides /recovery as well?)
Check the videos in ky sig once
Just to be safe
Erm, All ROMs are different so double check in the OP but you wont lose CWM if you switch between custom ROMs, Only a full firmware flash via ODIN will replace recovery. However there are many variations of CWM, All however do the same job
the instructions above are correct, But seem to be a more complicated way of doing it, It says to flash a safe ICS kernel, THEN flash GB ROM in ODIN ??? That makes no sense.
Anyway, What i would do is, Revert to GB via ODIN, Flash SpeedMod kernel (for GB not ICS), Load all the files on to your SD card, Boot into recovery, Do a full wipe, Along with cache and dalvik cache, Then install PA + Gapps + any other mods !

would it then be necessary at all to install the SpeedMod kernel? I included it above to make sure, the kernel is safe, but when the Gingerbread Stock ROM overrides the kernel, do I have to flash the kernel afterwards?
I suggest you stay stock and dont do any factory reset or data wipe.
Then READ and read a LOT of the topics here.
All these suggestions of flashing this and that comes with a risk. And it does not mean that if it works for others will work the same way for you.

I'd say no. I mean, as I understand it, you're flashing the device in download mode. There is no need for a root user.
So, against my inner "good angel", who told me to wait for a new official firmware release, I went ahead and flashed away.
It all worked and here is what I did:
Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.
Restarted and got lots of force close issues.
Flashed the Gingerbread Kernel SpeedMod from here ("speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-12-Odin.tar")
Rebooted, continued to have force close issues.
Rebooted into Recovery (which is now CWM, due to Kernel update)
Wiped cache, dalvik cache and did a factory reset
Rebooted into a fully working Gingerbread OS
Placed PA v0.4 and GApps onto my SD Card (from here)
Rebooted into CWM Recovery
Applied PA v0.4 from SD-Card
Applied GApps from SD-Card
Wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache and did a factory reset
Rebooted into a workind Paranoid Android OS.
Although the SpeedMod Kernel got overridden by PA, I still have CWM Recovery.
Did you root first? and did you get the yellow triangle through flashing with PC Odin?
PS
I'm still dead scared about flashing a ROM after messing up my last gnote, never ever had a problem with my desire...it's shook my confidence tbh :-(

Well, the SpeedMod Kernel not only gave me CWM, but also root. According to PA Thread Install instructions, you would need to root your device prior to installing PA.
Yes, after flashing the SpeedMod Kernel, I got the yellow triangle, but since I bought this phone on eBay, without any bill to confirm warranty, I didn't really care about it.
I did not get a yellow triangle after flashing the official Stock ROM!
So I would hazzard to guess that this would not void warrany. (Also, in Download Mode, there was the little text saying: "Custom Binary: No" after flashing the Stock Gingerbread ROM)
So, if I were concerned about warrany, I would have a second look at Dr. Ketans guide, which describes the CWM+Root procedure without increasing the binary counter (at least I think so).
This way, you could get root and CWM after flashing to Stock Gingerbread.
I just had the problem, that Gingerbread wouldn't allow me to go into the Settings Tab to activate Debbuging, which you will need for Dr. Ketans method. (All processes were getting force closed)
If it is possible to wipe the caches and factory reset the phone with stock recovery, I think it would work. It should look like this then:
Flashed the Gingerbread Stock firmware from above with PC Odin, according to the guide in the second post of the Stock Firmware thread.
Restart to Recovery. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache and do a factory reset (You just flashed Gingerbread Stock, which should have given you a safer kernel)
Restart
Activate USB Debugging and untrusted sources.
Follow Dr. Ketans Guide on how to Root+ get CWM
Continue from step 8 above.
Since I consider myself a complete noob to the flashing business, someone should propably confirm, what I've just written. I wanted to be on the safe side and therefore flashed a known safe kernel again over Gingerbread, just to be sure (and to get root+CWM)
Hope that helped.
Well mine didn't :-(
I'm now cursing after my planned upgrade failed :-( I'm stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen wondering what to do
My sequence was
a) Unpack SGN, and it upgraded to ICS
b) read about all the dire warnings on ICS - and curse!
c) figure out how to flash speedmod and get root via the temp CWM - and I was pretty happy about this for a few days..
d) battery life seemed poor - so I wondered if the Abyss kernel would help
e) Went into Recovery - which appeared to be CWM (volume & on/off to navigate) and flashed the Abyss kernel and performed a wipe (assured that my SGN was safe with speedmod)
f) Now stuck at the yellow triangle boot screen - wondering what to do?
My recovery seems to be the touch screen version now - when I can get into it.
Suggestions please?
(My old nexus One wasn't this tricky!)
---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------
Wll I reflashed speedmod with Odin - and at least it looks like its booting!... anxious minutes later.... well I/m back. I don't know what i did wrong - but |I don't want to repeat that in a hurry.
I'll wait for CM9 to come out with an approved kernel before messing further!

Were you rooted on the base Android ROM? Was it GB? Whatever it was, first flash a standard GB using PC ODIN and then root it and then try a new ROM. You can get stock GB ROMs here

Hi i flashed with PC odin after downloading stock rom from the link you gave, then i flashed Paranoid again, and later Gapps hybrid, but everytime i still stuck on the same oot animation.
I have even tried, full wipe means not only factory reset and cache wipe, but also format /data, format /system and and format /cache. but still no luck, stuck again.
I even have tried then darkside cache wipe 1st time, but not solved, then i also used darkside super wipe, but still no luck.
My phone is rooted, is there any other solution or anything that i am forgetting to do?
please help...!

Were you rooted on the base Android ROM? Was it GB? Whatever it was, first flash a standard GB using PC ODIN and then root it and then try a new ROM. You can get stock GB ROMs here

I am having a similar problem, but instead of getting stuck on boot screen my mobile goes back in CWM. I am trying to install LiquidSmooth 3.2 and am currently on Criskelo 5.1....when I tried to go from Criskelo 5.1 to 8, the phone got stuck on the boot screen. (Used Abyss Kernel to flash)

Flash stock GingerBread rom from PC odin and root it . Else you can flash pre rooted GB roms like Checkrom, rocketrom etc etc etc from the whichever ICS rom you are currenntly on .This is how I flash Gingerbread rom from EMMC bug infected ICS rom , flash abyss kernel 3.9 and the reboot recovery into abyss kernel 3.9 and then wipe data , cache and dalvik cache and then flash CheckRom Revo HD V6 and reboot your phone.
Once your phone is successfully running GB rom with proper root and clockworkmod recovery , go to clockworkmod recovery and wipe data , cache , dalvik cache and flash paranoid android directly ( dont flash abyss kernel or any other kernel , GB rom with CF root kernel or whichever kernel the pre-rooted GB roms like checkrom and rocketrom come with ) , and finally after flashing wipe data , cache and dalvik cache . You will boot paranoid android properly .
I dont want you to brick your phone , so explained the whole process from gingerbread rom installation

Really Thank You for your detailed Reply, But as you said I wastrying this all from STOCK GB Rom only which i rooted, But in paranoid one of senier member told me that, as i used darkside scripts and which are not made for Note, So I have screwed my partitions, and may be i will need to repartition with four filed STOCK ROM. because now the problem is even critical, when i flash, it stucks at SAmsung Note GT-N7000.
So really need to solve this issue 1st, so starting new thread now, for flashing Stock Rom with odin for repartition.

Thanx Friend,
I have flashed b4 from stock ICS kernal to Anidroid ROM, but now that is not the real problem, now i am on stock GB Rom, which i have installed via Odin, Kindly check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783625 this thread which i have just started, i hope you will understand my problem by looking to this thread, also as i am on GB kernal right now, without rooted, so still i dont need to afraid of EMMC brick bug (I assume it is problem with stock ICS kernals.).
And I had screwed my galaxy bote and had hard bricked my phone , it was gone mate , my phone had almost seem its last days , but i did save it and gave it a new life . Well here is what happened ( again in detail ) - I was KingDroid V2 rom , even when i knew all the ics roms at that time had emmc brick bug , I was fool enough to do a data wipe :crying: , and **** !!!! my phone did boot any rom , i was not even able to flash any rom , not even stock unrooted samsung roms via pc odin . I couldnt even get my phone into recovery mode !!!!!! The only thing that was working on my phone was the download mode !! Thank god !!!!:fingers-crossed: . I tried to re-partition using the original 16GB pit file( as i have 16GB Galaxy note N7000 ) but it was in vain. And then I read some post in XDA developers which mentioned how to RE-ARRANGE the partition.
[ Well I think you don't know what happens when you do a data wipe with emmc bug infected kernel ???? Right ? well here goes an explaination fro that , (i love explaining things to others :cyclops In simple words when you do a data wipe on an EMMC bug infected kernel a part of your internal SD card gets infected , I mean it becomes non-functional , it doesn't respond to read /write commands issued over that sector of internal SD ]
so out of my 16GB internal memory , memory sectors from 1049MB to 2200MB had got corrupted( found it by trial and error method ) , i couldn't use them anymore , so using the adb from the android platform tools , I edited the partitions and shifted the partition corresponding to 1049 MB to 2200MB, and then flashed abyss note kernel and then checkrom revo HD :fingers-crossed: . Viola my phone booted , I had got over the hard brick , but my internal storage had reduced to 10 Gb instead of 11 Gb due to unresponsive sectors in internal memory !!!
Next i did a reset of the flash counter and removed the yellow triangle and flashed the stock gingerbread rom (Indian version , where I am from ) via pc odin and it got stucj at FactoryFS stage , as expected !!!! . Next I handed it to Samsung service center and just told them that i was trying to update to ICS via kies and it got stuck . After few days they replaced my phone's motherboard for free :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
My friend i think your prob started while flashing paranoid rom u said that after flashing rom u made a full wipe... so i think u lost your root... just an idea
İf u can find a prerooted gb rom or u can root your gb rom u can flash paranoid rom

[Q] JB to GB downgrade failure?

So, this is what happened. I first upgraded to the latest official JB 4.1.2 XXLSA firmware. I noticed that it still wasn't as fast as I'd like, and wanted to try a custom ROM instead. I read through the guides in here and get that I have to downgrade to a GB ROM first in order for me not to hardbrick my phone. So, I download "N7000XBKK4 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXXKK5--------------------- Nordic countries" from that list over stock ROM's in the Q&A root guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 . I follow the flashing guide to the letter, puts my phone in download mode, runs the flash via Odin, the phone restarts, and everything goes south. Basically this happens: When I start my phone it get's to the point in the GB initial startup where I'm to touch the Android to start, but then all it does is throw messages at me about this service and that service having stopped responding, untill the phone reboots. So now I have reflashed back to the JB ROM.
So basically, what am I doing wrong, and what can I do to make a proper downgrade so I can get rooted, install CWM and get down and get it on with some custom ROM's?
Thx in advance!
Same happened with me. I flashed GB and was getting force close messages. But not a big problem. Just flash GB rom again. And after flashing just delete all user data from recovery and reboot. U wont get those messages any more.

You always need to WIPE data / factory reset after downgrading from JB .. GB is safe to go ahead.. if you choose ICS then first flash a safe kernel and then do wipe
It seems to me that KK5 is non wipe, which explains why you got those messages. The rest is detailed in nokiamodeln91's message BTW, JB is still not official for our Notes. What you installed was a leak with a safe kernel (if it was Philz).

Exactly.
I had this issue too when downgrading to GB. Wipe Cache and Dalvik and you should be ok from then on.
Wow. A lot of replies in just a single day. You guys are awesome
Now you say that the KK5 is non-wipe. Are there any GB-roms which are wipe, so to speak? Or do I have to do the flash to GB, enter recovery, wipe cache partition and do wipe/factory reset, then reboot into a now working phone, set up for root with USB and so forth, root and install CWM, copy the custom ROM to my SD-card (gonna go for ParanoidAndroid) as well as Google services if I want those, and then install them via CWM/Mobile Odin?

GB LC1 is wipe. But if you want PA (which is an excellent choice) just flash a CM10 kernel in your recovery (if your recovery is safe, like GB for example). Then follow Utacka's instructions for the installation.
But if I want CWM I should do root and install CWM there? And then flash the custom ROM from CWM?

The CM10 kernel comes with its own recovery where you can flash from. If you have root issues, just flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip. In any case don't flash from stock ICS with CMW.zip: if you are on ICS and not rooted flash the relevant Philz kernel (which is safe and will give you root and CWM) then the CM10 kernel.
Edit: what ROM do you have now?
I use the 4.1.2 XXLSA ROM
Btw, anyone knows where I can download the Google Services Framework so I can install it alongside Paranoid Android? I have been led to believe it's not included as per default
Thx for all the replies!!
If you have downloaded the xxlsa rom then it's inside the rom zip file. Path system/app/GoogleServicesFramework
