Help.. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been running the SOKP ROM which runs kitkat 4.4.4 and I decided to give this phone to my younger bro, but he says he wants the original samsung ROM so I download the ROM from sammobile and also the latest philz kernel. I flashed the kernel from recovery and rebooted, wiped dalvik/cache, formatted system/cache/preload and then flashed the ROM...
BUT..
when I flash the ROM, it starts and then the installation aborts on its own. I've tried it a few times. Did all the wipes again, still no luck.
Can anyone please tell me how to switch from the SOKP rom to TW ? I tried the same method last time and it worked, but this time it just doesn't go that way... What am I doing wrong?

Just use odin, don't use your recovery
Flash with Odin
Go into recovery mode
Wipe data
Reboot
?
Profit!

Thing is, I've never used Odin before and I'm not sure how its supposed to work..
Can you tell me if its correct please..
I rebooted to download mode and the phone just says "Downloading.. Don't turn off target" (This is the first time I started download mode so I'm not sure if it was supposed to say that)
Does Odin show a sign which tells us the phone is connected? (Sammobile says "Wait till blue sign appears in odin".. I didn't see any)
Does the yellow triangle appear if we flash the stock ROM or is it only for custom ROMs?
Edit : I tried to add the .zip file to AP but it won't add.. And there's so many options here they confuse me.. I'm scared :crying:

I managed to work it out with odin but I still have just ONE more question.. in recovery should I go to mounts/storage and wipe data there? Or just do the wipe data/factory reset?

The wipe data/factory reset will do.

[Q] Problem with unbrick

Hello everyone, I probably brick my s5570.. it constantly reboots after loading the first samsung image and the second one with the phone model. i can access at the recovery mode but when I try to change rom from sd, the installation aborting after an error.Same thing if I try to return to the factory settings. Also i tried with odin but the phone is not detected, and the problem can't be a bad installation of odin or drivers because i got another S5570 and I tried it and it works perfectly. I have not tried only with jig. have anyone other ideas or procedures by suggesting? Thanks

Android system recovery ?
Are you not using CWM recovery !?!
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA
are you using ROM manager?
i tried to flash the cwr but nothing cause odin dont see my phone..i tried only with odin or with the flash by recovery,not with rom manager
You dint brick the phone I think...answer these questions carefully ---
1. What rom are u using? Stock or custom?
2. Did u properly download the rom? To verify, open the rom on PC and see if its opening or giving error.
3. If the above problem is true..download again and flash again
4. What cwm recovery are u using? ?
5. If Odin not detecting, have u installed KIES in PC? Without kies and mini drivers, Odin won't detect.
6. Check whether USB cable is working or not...
7. Have u wiped data and cache before flashing new rom?

this phone was complety stock and dont boot.i flashed the root with the android system recovery,the i tried to return to the factory setting without success,the same with the wipe data or cache.then i tried to flash with the android system recovery another rom ([ROM][Samsung gt-s5570]MiniMod X FINAL -very mini very fast) and give me the error,the same with other rom.All the procedures were tested more times.
answers 4-5-6-7
i tried to flash the cwm without success from the sd..i dont try kies, but odin and drivers are all ok because detected the other s 5570 that i have..the usb cable is ok. I tried to wipe data but give me an error (i wrote the errors in the other post)
no idea??
Well try first put your device in download mode (power button+volume down+home button)
If success open odin connect your phone to PC and to flash (install) CWM put:
OPS--OPS
then mark one package and put
ONE PACKAGE-- CWM file.
Hope ti helped.
It will take about 3-5 min.

Hi bro, because you did it the wrong way that's the problem "never ever, flash a custom rom from stock recovery"
now your phone isn't bricked but in amnesia and need to be revived, this is the cure :
since you're able to access stock recovery that let you flash cwm recovery from there:
1- download the custom recovery (update-CWM-5.2.0.8-touch-squadzone.zip) from here http://www.mediafire.com/?xk637cg12kt2cl0
2- copy it to your sd card (through card reader via your pc) then reboot the phone to recovery mode (press and hold power button+home button)
3- on android stock recovery hit "apply update from sdcard" then choose "update-CWM-5.2.0.8-touch-squadzone.zip" wait till it shows "install from sdcard complete"
4-Turn Off your phone, remove your sdcard then put a custom rom on it, insert back the sd card into phone then reboot to recovery mode
5- now you should see the new custom recovery, in the list choose: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition then hit install zip from sdcard and choose your custom rom
6-after completing install process, wipe data and cache then hit reboot system
7-if all goes well your phone will boot normally like it should

Wipe data/cache before and after you flash the rom.. or reinstall the rom again.. and by the way, you have GB installed before you did all these, right? Just making sure you did not install all these with froyo..

[solved] Soft brick, tablet resets during recovery activities

I have the wifi only 7310 model of the 8.9
Overcme CwM Recovery 5.1.2.6
ROM was Galaxian Soup AOSP 1.6
My tablet resets during recovery. Half through a data wipe ROM install ROM backup or ROM restore it will reset and reboot.
It first happened when i booted into recovery and triedROM issue. to make a back up of m y current ROM and attempt to flash the aokp one. It reset during the backup process.
It shouldn't be a ROM issue. My tablet did this once before, it would reset when i did anything involvng dataon an Overcome ROM i think. Data wipe/backup etc. I left it alone while the ROM still worked and tried again a week later with no issues.
Any ideas? Now i have a soft brick that cant boot past the Samsung Screen. I can get into recovery and download modes.
EDIT* added a video
EDIT2:
The issue was solved.
What ended up happening what i attempted to flash back to stock software, ODIN would stall during the system.img. From this point i thought it was done, but i could still get into the stock recovery, i used the stock recovery to wipe the data after several failed attempts in a similar manner to this video.
One day it just worked. I could finally wipe data and cache without a reset. But i could't flash a file because ODIN would still freeze on the system.img. It was suwandiapr who showed me his walkthrough to push an file to recovery from adb. Thank you so much
I do NOT know why it my tablet/recovery starting resetting when i wanted to do a data/cache wipe/restore or why it decided to start doing it again. I tried the 5.5 cwm, the overcome 5.1 and the stock and none of them worked. Today i tried it on an off chance of boredom and it started working again. It is a confusing situation but that is what happened.
Again that you so much to Mr.Home and especially suwandiapr for all your help
> If you had a back up you can do advanced restore of just your system partition to get you tablet back on, though you will probably still have problem with the recovery
> If not, download the stock firmware tar.
Boot up to download mode using the power + vol combo.
flash the stock tar through odin.
boot up to download mode again.
this time flash the cwm recovery.
boot up to recovery mode.
wipe dalvikcache and data.
install aokp and gapps.
if it fails (cwm recovery stuck and reboots by itself during wiping /data partition or dalvik cache)
,chances are your data partition had been corrupted.
You can try fixing this by reflashing the stock firmware tar through odin again
just this time you need to have re-partition ticked.
and repeat above steps.
Take note that this will format the content your sd card too apart from the /data partition
EDIT: Please post this on the general section next time

Download Odin 1.85
Install Samsung USB drivers (should come with Kies)
Download stock firmware from samfirmware
Check the box beside PDA
Put the .md5 file into the PDA slot
Leave all other options on defaults
Put tablet into Download Mode (power and vol -, select the one that isn't recovery)
Connect it to your PC
Press START in Odin
Wait ~10 minutes
NOTE: this shouldn't wipe the internal sdcard. if you need to wipe that, select repartition and give Odin a PIT FOR THE P7310/7300 MAKE SURE IT'S THE RIGHT ONE OR YOU WILL BRICK BADLY.
Moved To General​
I understand this might be a development related question, but questions do not belong here.​
im still bricked so if ANYONE has any ideas please let me know.
Do you have a backup of yours in computer? If yes.. Push your file to device with adb...
Or replace with cwm 5.5.0.4.. ( if you not familiar with odin)
From cwm recovery 5.1.2.6 mount your /data and /system..
After that push your file (cwm 5.5.0.4. Zip and your backup file) to sdcard trough adb
Install cwm 5.5.0.4 from your recovery..then reboot..
Before you install your backup file.. Try to wipe and reboot your phone.. If problem still exist.. Your assumption about ROM may right.. But if your booting problem disappear.. I think its because yor recovery..

I never try it before.. how about stock recovery? It will wipe your data partition include SD card..But it worth to try if you dont like ODIN..
here is the zip version..Instal from recovery..
Edit: Do with your own risk..
After looking at the video, I noticed something similar that had happened to me before.
It happened when I tried to wipe the "cache" first, instead of wiping only the "dalvik cache".
After that, whenever i tried to wipe the dalvik cache/reset factory data,
the recovery reboots by itself halfway through.

Check the thread in my signature on the ODIN How-To, Drivers (no Kies/Bloat needed for drivers) and more. If I were you I'd ODIN so the Stock Recovery is restored in place. Looks like something went wrong in your CWM Recovery's installation (could be a bad download you had, it happens). All the files you need (except for the ODIN image) are in my General Guide.

Well, i just don't wipe cache. Only the dalvikcache and all went well..
I have a soft brick, no memory or sd card data. I can get into recovery but i don't have any files on the tablet to flash.
Are you windows user? if yes..
Just like my answer from previous post.. See page one!
Mount your /system and /data partition from recovery menu..(from cwm)
From your computer.. Use this tools for pushing the file flashable.zip to device..
After that you can flash a new rom from recovery..

Just flash a stock rom with PC Odin in Download mode, let it do it's magic and when the phone is booted, turn it off, boot into the normal recovery, do a wipe/factory reset and reboot.

You shouldn't have to do anything before flashing but if you want to be absolutely sure then yeah, reboot to CWM recovery, wipe data/cache/Dalvik and turn off the phone (you can do this by pulling the battery or just reboot the phone and shut it down like you normally do).
Turn on the phone in Download mode, flash a rom with Odin and you are back to a stock Note.

Thanks Bro ok and for kernel same step ?
If you just want to run a stock firmware you only have to do the flash with Odin, the stock kernel will be flashed automatically.
So first wipe, turn off, Odin flash in Download mode and you've got a stock firmware, a stock kernel and a stock modem so your phone is the same as you got it from the store again.

This thread feels like trying to run a marathon through knee-high mud.
To the OP:
1. On a scale of 1-100, your know-how is at -11
2. You have just the faintest of ideas what you're really trying to achieve
3. You are unable to ask coherent questions because your English is somewhat exotic
4. You are unable to understand the answers because of all of the above
I fear you are beyond help here.

but still my phone is stuck
am i need flash it with other rom?
anyway i get some problem, i can open my recovery but when i press my power button it cannot select any of recovery menu. But i still can navigate wiht Volume button
u can open the recovey so u dont need to worry
firstly do a complete wipe of all user and system data
if u are on plilz recovery there is a option to do so in the wipe data factory reset option called "clean to install a new rom" do it
thenif u have a official jb 4.1.2 firmware flash it via odin if u want to go back to stock or there are many kk roms and customized 4.1.2 roms available here do a research and flash whatever u like

You currently have the stock recovery, not Philz.
Go into your current recovery and go to factory reset/data wipe (use the volume up and down keys), to select it use the power button. Once you have factory reseted your device, reboot.
If that doesn't fix it then do the following:
Download any recent Philz Kernel for JB from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Copy that to your external sd card (go into recovery and connect your Note to your PC or if that doesn't work, do it through a different phone or an microsd card reader). Flash that file in the stock recovery, reboot to recovery again. Once you have philz, perform a full wipe (you should have that option in factory reset/data wipe otherwise wipe /system /preload /data). Once that is done, reflash with Odin and then again: go to the stock recovery and perform a factory reset and reboot, now it should be working.

Phone doesn't boot, just samsung logo

Hello, I have an s3 mini I8190N model, with CM 11.0 kitkat 4.4.4(cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108) installed on it since nearly its release, the phone worked very fine, till today I entered the ROM manager app and pushed the "Boot to Recovery" button, so now it doesn't boot neither to the system nor to the recovery. I remember having CWM on it.
What I get now is only the "Samsung S3 mini..." splash screen, nothing else.
I have these files ready on my computer:
Recovery-CWM-I8190-Official-TOUCH-6.0.2.7.ODIN.zip
cm11.0_golden.nova.20150108.zip
What should I do now ??
You probably soft bricked your phone, I suggest you to check if you still can go into download mode and flash with Odin a wipe file and then a stock rom, once it is working again flash twrp recovery instead of cwm with Odin and try not to use rom manager, I've heard it causes the brick you have.

Not if you flash the wipe file, you can try flashing the stock rom without the wipe but It's recommended to do a clean install. Another option is to flash a file called PARAM to see if it solves the bootloop. But the way I fixed a softbrick in my phone was flashing param, wipe and stock rom in that order with Odin.
Are you able to go into recovery?

Not if you flash the wipe file, you can try flashing the stock rom without the wipe but It's recommended to do a clean install. Another option is to flash a file called PARAM to see if it solves the bootloop. But the way I fixed a softbrick in my phone was flashing param, wipe and stock rom in that order with Odin.
Are you able to go into recovery?

I will install TWRP through Odin v3 on the phone, then I'll flash without wiping data, then I'll recover necessary data(especially contacts) and then redo a clean install with wiping all the rubbish files.
I will tell you after I follow these steps on whether it was successful or not.
Thank you very much!

No problem, flash the custom recovery after the stock rom though.

Effectively, I installed the missing recovery software (TWRP), and after that I selected from the boot menu in TWRP the "System" entry, then it booted fine and I didn't lose any of my data. Though I have to make a clean flash next time, by cleaning the dalvik cache... etc.
Thank you for your support!
