Big flash issue, need your help!

Hello,
I got a note a few days ago, originally in KKA, i installed CF Root with CWM and Mobile Odin, downloaded LA4 firmware, and flashed with wipe data & cache (md5 check done). After reboot if i go in app manager, i can see ALL the apps i installed previously, all 0,00O in grey and with name like "com.antek.am" etc... What the hell?! Also there's no Android Market and some other missing apps... What did i done wrong?! Please help me
Thanks.

Try clearing cache,dalvik cache and finally do a factory reset and see if it is gone.It may be caused by the leftovers in /data partition.It must probably resolve your problem.My advice is (thought ketan said it to me first) after flashing any rom its better to do a factory reset and clear cache.You can do it in recovery

I solved it just after posting this by factory reset, thanks anyway. I knew about cache, i did wipe, but i didn't thought of factory reset (and still don't understand that well).

Factory reset wipes /data partition which contains the apps and its data downloaded from market/internet.It also wipes your settings data and restore every thing to factory default.Just explained this because you said still don't understand that well.Good to hear you solved your issue on your own

Yes, thanks. If i don't want to keep my mobile and return it for refund (i still have few days) and if flash with the firmware it came with it, modified kernel i installed will be replaced by original (it's in the firmware) and so they'll accept it as return, right?

Yes. Just flash your stock Rom via PC Odin, and everything will be back the way it was when you purchased your phone.

Why ODIN desktop and not mobile? Without everoot, cwm and else... Of course!

If u flash any stock ROM via Mobile Odin or CWM, The CWM Recovery will not be flashed and it remains as it is. So you have to flash using PC Odin to get Stock recovery too.

That's exactly why i talked about using mobile instead. But apparently won't flash cwm, can't do it in any way with mobile version? Last thing: As of now, i tried only stock roms. Can i try custom (ICS of course..) installing it by ODIN MOBILE and not wiping (it's just for test), then flash stock later, everything will still be back in its place like original, they won't know i used custom rom, right?

Yes certainly you can try custom roms bruh!! However all the ICS Roms demand everyday high maintenance so IMO installing a GB rom will be a sane option as if now, even if you just want to test that....
If u want a suggestion then go with rocket rom gb v22 my personal favorite however all the other gb roms are stable and can ne used on daily basis.
Peace

This can be achieved easily!! You have to Install Chainfire's Repack via Mobile Odin then install "Triangle Away" App to remove yellow Triangle on Start up. Then flash again the stock firmware using PC Odin.
It is confirmed work!!
This was just an skeletal overview for indepth steps please refer to the corresponding threads!!

Thanks for the answer, i already have Odin Mobile and always flashed with it, so no triangle. Chainfire repack, i should install that only if i wanna try ICS, right?

Flashing stock kernal doesnt give triangle in any way.I would suggest you not to use ICS leak rom as many suffered from not able to go back to stock after that.As of now I know only 1 developer has recovered his note after struggling for nearly 10 hours.So stay away from it.I dont know about other ICS roms.But its better to stay with GB now.

if you are planning to return it, then do not try ICS. the leak is not for Note and this caused many users (of Note and Epic 4 touch) issues like a fried flash drive. All the GB custom ROMs are pretty much stable.

I'm about to start. I have "Odin3 v1.85" that's the right one? I already have the KKA firmware md5 file, i put it in phone or pda? What should i put in CSC & other case? And where do i get the right files?

Please anyone..?

If you have just one file, put it in PDA. It contains everything you need.

Thanks, that's ok, now concerning the internal memory, 11gb, what should i do? I can't remember/know all the files that were created by me/my apps, also i don't think i can/should delete it all? What do you think?

[Q] About Root Problems

Hello fellas. I know you don't like these kind of posts and I agree you're right but I'm completely lost. That's why i'm making this post.
I just installed official 4.1.2 stock rom and it says N7000WELSA rom.
I want to root this. I used "PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6" kernel to root that. But after i flashed that nothing happened. Can you guys give me a light on the topic? I'm really new to that stuff and can't see my way out here... Thank you !

How did you flash it? Zip from stock recovery?

Well i downloaded the file "N7000UBLSF_N7000UUBLSF_N7000WELSA_HOME.tar" from Hotfile. And put it in PDA in Odin3 v1.85 and flashed it. I'm writing down every detail because i may have done something wrong.
Then i downloaded "PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6.tar" and flashed it the same way.

I used the above tutorials to do so.

If you have used odin to install philz kernel, it will not root. You need to flash the zip version. Or use the supersu.zip file from the following post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
You should now have Cwm recovery. So either flash a zip version of philz kernel or supersu
To get into recovery, use Vol up + power + home

As you are using LSA rom, shouldn't you be using the LSA Philz kernel? For the next time, just flash the zip version in stock recovery and you will get all at once. Root + CWM recovery + Safe kernel.

I don't think it's the rom he's mentioning. It s the baseband for new lsz of a different region.

Do i have to have an External SD Card to use this method ?

now no as you should already have cwm since you pushed philz tar

My last question; Is there a way to format the phone to a state that is just just unboxed? Empty sd card. No programs. Everything clear. My battery is running out real quick and the phone started to slow down a bit. It kinda laggs... And when i flashed the rom it just upgraded the OS. Everything is still the same. Widgets , apps... they are all staying.

??? i dont fully understand. you want to revert to ICS?

No no. I wanna keep JB. But this flashing just upgraded the OS. No files were deleted or so. I just wanna completely format everything on the phone.

yes cuz its a non wipe rom.. boot into philz recovery and wipe data

Thanks again. It did work out. Well i tried to format usb storage using settings>storage> Format USB Storage. But nothing happens and it doesn't format it. Is there any other way ?

Yah. Connect to pc and delete.

Is it safe to select all and delete via computer ?

yes

You should try to put your Note in download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin.
You must flash the PIT file to repartition your phone's storage, chose the right one (16 or 32 Gb).
I am almost sure that your phone is soft bricked and it is recoverable.
If it don't work, thant mean that your have bad blocks in your phone's storage. Have you wiped your note while under ICS android ?

what rom were you on? if JB, try a factory reset.

You shouldn't be doing a reset on ICS stock at all.. Install Philz kernel for ICS and wipe data and cache.. When flashing a stock rom using odin, is it a success?

My phone is now out of bootloop but now I face a different issue that I cant get my sim card work, it gives no signal and I noticed one more thing that IMEI of my phone is blank.
I went into recovery mode and it is still showing that efs error as it was showing before...
Any suggestion what should I try to fix this ?

So you never installed any rom or a custom kernel?

I followed the instructions provided by the manual ... after step 2 I get imei but after step 3 it get empty again.
Signals do come after step 2 but when I try to make some call it says "Not registered on network".
Looking forward to your reply.

I currently have an imei but it is some random number starting with "004999" and I do get signals but cant make a call .. Do you know if there is some hope for me or not .. and what else I can try.

This is the developer imei. You may be able to make calls of you try a GB rom. Or there is one rom by ThaiDai which had some work around built into it. I don't know which one.
Else the site I mentioned earlier has contact info of cvxcvx. He can fix your phone remotely but by charging about 10 euros.

Need help for a bricked N7000
Hi guys,Im a complete newbie to the whole custom rom scenario. Yet, after being fed up of touchwiz on my N7000 i decided i wanted to taste some KitKat on my phone. After seeing many videos with positive reviews I thought it would be a rather easy process. But somehow I seem to have made a mistake and now my phone is stuck on Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 logo. I cant get into recovery mode as suggested on most places. As of now I only have access to the download mode but dont know what to do with it.
Here's what I tried doing :
1) I was on stock OS, and these are my specifics : Galaxy Note N-7000 running JB 4.1.2
Baseband version : N7000DDLS6
Kernel version: 3.3.31-906407
BUild number:JZO54K.N7000DDLSC
2) As I was following the procedure from Omnirom's official website, I first rooted my phone using Framaroot's single click root app. This gave me SuperSU app.
3) Then I tried installing TWRP recovery (recommended by Omni) but they dont support the N7000. I read a few other tutorials where it was stated the CWM recovery and that too Philz CWM recovery is the best to go with. Apparently it is just stock kernel with CWM recovery. Since the latest one(philz_touch_6.07.9-n7000) was not being installed, I installed the one before that which worked (PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.11.2-signed).
4) I even installed the ROM Manager as per the tutorial. However, uptil now I could access recovery mode ( Vol UP+Home+Power) and i saw the touch enabled philz recovery mode once. Then i did system reboot.
5)After reboot, this is where I did a mistake in my opinion. I opened ROM Manger and clicked on "open in recovery mode" option. Since then the phone is stuck on the Galaxy Note N7000 logo. Please help me revive the phone. Thanks in advance. Again, Im doing this for the first time and most terms are new to me. So please explain the procedure as other tutorials are not very clear.

You missed on reading the most important instructions.
Rom manager will not work with note. Recovery is built into the kernel on note and not as a separate partition.
Try harder to get into recovery mode. If you still can't, get the ddlsc Philz kernel tar version. Flash it using Odin. Then power off the device and boot into recovery. Then flash raw kernel. Reboot recovery. Flash omni and other required zips.

PhilZ kernel has two versions, zip and tar. Use the tar version to flash via odin.

please help

* Use Odin 3.07 for JB not 1.85,
* Download THIS firmware and extract from zip,
* Make sure you installed drivers (ODIN should say "Added" when you connect your phone in download mode)
* Open ODIN and give the tar file (you extracted) to PDA section,
* Close the device then go into download mode and connect device to PC, (and again ODIN should say "Added")
* Flash
- after flashing phone probably go into bootlop so remove the battery and go to the recovery mode (VolUp-Home-Power) choose WIPE DATA / FACTORY RESET (This one wipe your apps not internal storage)

it can't help
i did that and the wizard crashed again no change

What cwm did you used? Temp one?
Try this: put some JB stock based ROM on your sd, open CWM and do factory reset and wipe everything you see (cache, dalvik, system, preload...). After that install ROM.

If you don't have any baseband or 3g problem the steps should be:
1)downgrade to GB 2.3.6, you can try downgrading with ODIN 1.85 with 3 files (PDA, PIT, CSC) and checking the "re-partition" option (be carefull, this will erase the "sdcard0" internal phone memory!, make a backup if you have personal stuff there). If EVERYTHING works well, (even 3g and baseband) continue to:
2) flash JB 4.1.2 stock with odin (a newer one if you have it) only with PDA (without checking re-partition!) and that should work well.
If you have back ups made with CWM or TWPR: flash your custom recovery from stock recovery and then root.
Good luck!

Well. When I had that problem I wasn't sure if wizard and baseband problem was related, but both things fixed when I replaced my modemfs with one from my friend.
If you want to try the same (at your own risk), you have to:
1) have a rooted GB (there are guides all over the internet)
2) download the file: goo.gl/DzAjza (it is from company: Claro, Argentina, UBLD1, I'm sure it is not "device specific" but I'm not sure if it is "carrier specific") and put it in your phone.
3) install any Terminal app from playstore
4) in terminal write:
"su" (to get super user privileges)
and then:
dd if=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
assuming that you put the file in your sdcard. (write carefully!!! you can mess it up hard if you misstype here)
then reboot and check if everything work properly, if yes, try flashing JB with Odin again and cross fingers.
Good luck!

Thanks for answering

Download from samsung-updates.com stock JB firmware, unzip on your PC, open Odin, put the phone in DL and proceed.
That .tar file put it on PDA, wait few moments until check that FW, and hit Start.
Do not unplug the phone until Odin said "Passed" and your phone is rebooted.
Check this guide for more info's, maybe i forget something :

Thnx .. but can I perform these steps to downgrade from kitkat 4.4.2 to jellybean ?
Because in that thread, it is written from GB to JB.
I'm currently running Carbon rom Kitkat. So can I follow these steps to get back to jellybean ?

Okiee.. Thnx. I got my firmware for i9070 from samsung-updates.com.
One last doubt... I recently reinstalled my Windows in my computer. I have installed KIES. But how do I know if I have the drivers for i9070 ?
KIES does not recognize my phone since it is rooted.
How will I know if the drivers are installed ?

You don't need Kies. Only Samsung drivers and Odin.
Samsung drivers you can take from here: http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/support/model/GT-I9070HKATGY-downloads

Okay...so I have all the files now
Final question.... After flashing with ODIN, when I reboot the device, will it reboot normally ? Or will it go into a boot loop ?
Will any of my data be erased in this process ?

If you get a bootloop you must do factory reset. All things from internal memory and sd card will be there, only you will lose apps, contacts, sms and stuff what is wiped when you do factory reset.

I want to install LightJB v1.2 for my phone i9070.
So to do that , what am I exactly supposed to do ? Should I go to stock JB and then flash LightJB, or straight away from Kitkat , can I install LightJB using ODIN ?

Option 1: Go back to stock, root it, install CoCore, install LightJB.
Option 2: Use this script to format preload partition (the one with zip that you flash in recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612540 then install LightJB (with all wipes).

Woah !! My head is spinning now ....hehe
If I go on to do something else other than stock, then I'm sure to brick this device.
Anyway thanks for all the help you guys gave me, if I have doubts or trouble in flashing, I'll ask you guys again
I'm OK with the stock firmware. I'll just connect my device with ODIN , put the .tar.md5 file into PDA , go into download mode and click START.
Before everything , I'll back up my contacts, sms , etc.
Did I say the steps correctly ?

Shall I wipe cache and do a factory reset before flashing or after flashing ? Is it compulsory to do it ?

Whenever you want. Just do it before you boot after flashing it.

So ODIN doesn't make the device auto reboot ?
What if ODIN makes it reboot automatically and then hangs on the boot screen ?

It does make auto reboot. Problem with data or cache from old ROM makes hangs on the boot screen. So you must do factory reset if it occurs.
And you always can go to recovery again and do factory reset.
P.S. To make it more clear to you: Odin flash firmware, recovery flash ROM. ROM is modification, firmware contains more things than ROM.

Thank you to all you guys especially shut_down and R_A_Z_V_A_N for helping me out
Its done and I'm back to stock JB Thnx again.
