Soft bricked and clueless please someone! - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Hey i've soft bricked my n7000..
basically i just need to know what exactly to do now, kernels etc
ideally id like to be running Midnote 3.3
anyone kind enough to reply with help would be seriously appreciated!

Maybe if you gave some more information on what how when and why ?
Nobody can help you on a 'hey i lost my car can someone tell me where on this planet i parked this morning?'

Agree on above poster. We need to know what rom uou were flashing from, by what method, and the issue now.

Fair enough was thinking there was a straight forward fix, as in just flash this and do this etc..
i was running Midnote 2.1, i was on LP1 and tried to flash Midnote 3.3 using CWM.. it wasn't flashing as i couldn't see the .zip rom at all..
i then done a few factory wipes and basically just wiped the davlik and cache and tried any options in CWM

The issue now is that when i boot im stuck at the samsung splash screen..
I can boot into recovery and into cwm..

And what exactly happends now ?
dead black screen ?
Samsung logo blocked ?
PC odin doesn't connect ?
Can you enter CWM recovery ?
Can you enter boot recovery ?
I think you better try and flash a safe GB kernel and rom first
Then do a full wipe, then flash whatever you like.
You can best flash through PC odin for the stock GB

Stuck at Samsung logo
Can enter CWM and recovery, odin works as far as i can tell

I would suggest trying to flash a stock gb rom via pc odin. If you get stuck at the factory.fs stage you may well be superbricked because of the cwm recoveries and wipes on lpy.
There are a few threads on sorting out a problematic emmc section. But we'll get to that afyer youve tried this.

Thank you, I don't mean to be an effort but you hardly know where I can get a safe GB kernel and rom? i just want to be sure as im getting kind of worried now

Check out dr ketans thread in the stickies of d3velopment section. Theres loaf of info there. Its pretty straight forward if you flash initially to an older rom for your region. Take a look itll make sense promise.

Doesn't really matter, go ahead and choose what you like.

Lads i seriously appreciate this.. if i get my note back up n running i'll be delighted!
so if when i flash this stock gb rom using Odin i don't need a kernel at all right?
again these must be frustrating questions but your really helping me out here

No, you just place the .tar file in Odin in the PDA section.

nope you dont need a kernel when flashing stock GB rom
but 1st keep ur fingers crossed and pray that you get through the ODIN installation method
copy the GB rom file in ODIN folder and open ODIN and click on PDA and select the downloaded GB ROM file and press START

You legends! the stock gb rom worked perfect...
now comes the slightly trickier part.. loading the Midnote 3.3 rom
anyone using this rom? 2.1 was great!
whats the safest way to flash this, kernel wise etc?
thanks again lads

also, now that im back on the stock gb rom.. do i need to root again????
i tried getting into cwm and it brought me into android recovery mode ( still had install zip from sd option)

Yes, you will need to root it if you didn't flash a GB pre-rooted ROM.
And I think the CWM.zip file is on drketan's thread.

Guys im running midnote rom fine BUT it keeps vibrating every 5-8 seconds........................
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.. any ideas!???

You must be using the temporary CWM version. Go get cf-lpf kernel from development subforum.
As for your usb storage issues, use mtp.

So many people still didnt realize that danger in this bug. I dont understand.
Lots of time, it will seem okay to the majority because most users won't do a wipe unless necessary. Time will tell.
Untill there is safe kernel for ics be safe guys. Now because of the release source code samsung give we will not wait for to long before we see the light at the end the tunnel.
After so many bricks and so many warning from developers, there are still individual dare to run wipe in CWM??
Simply amazing...

Flash gone wrong. N9005

Hey everyone.
I tried updating my CWM via odin, I did everything as normal.
However when the phone boots back up, It says ( in the top left hand corner )
RECOVERY BOOTING
set warranty bit : recovery
When I put it back into download mode and back into odin, it came up with the green 'pass'
I have tried taking out the battery, and then entering into bootloader, but the phone just resets and comes back up with the same message. There is no way for me to get into bootloader
I need help please guys

It's normal. The Knox bootloader only like its modules stock.
Whit a Customer Recovery we have : set warranty bit: recovery
Whit a new modem we have : set warranty bit: modem
Whit a new kernel we have : set warranty bit : kernel but in this case we can have at boot "Secure Fail: Kernel" in red and not reboot. May be.
This arrived to me on another device w/ Knox bootloader also.
SO what do I do mate?

Ah I hate when people aren't online and can't help.
I can get into download mode, but I can't even get into bootloader...
Did evrything the same as I have done 10x before, I am guessing it could be a dodgy file we flashed?
Have you tried flashing an older version of CWM ?

You need to flash KK with ODIN then let it boot.
You need to either root it using CF-Autoroot or CWM will. Both of these need to support KK.

I was already rooted and running JB 4.3
When you say I need to flash KK with ODIN, is that KK ROM or a KK supported CWM ?

Grab the correct CWM for JB 4.3 and flash it, it'll fix you presuming you are running JB -- If not re-flash KK and run the latest CWM - then If if bootloops, take battery out place back in and boot into recovery, wipe cache and boot up into Android

I failed at flashing new rom for SM-900

I seriously f***** up for the first time while trying to flash a custom rom on my cousin's Note 3 SM-N900. I was able to install TWRP and i proceeded to flash a custom rom directly from within TWRP. I kind of got ahead of myself and proceeded to delete/wipe/erase just about everything on the phone before flashing (dalvik, wipe data, cache etc..) and then i proceeded to Install the custom rom directly within TWRP.
Yes i agree i was careless and ****ed up quite a bit but i was so sure it would not go wrong. But it did. Now the phone only loads the initial 'Samsung SM-N900' boot screen and then goes to black. I can still access TWRP and Download modes at will but i am unable to flash a rom or a stock firmware that will work on the phone. I dont know if i ****ed up the bootloader, modem, kernel, etc, but i reckon i did some pretty good damage.
But the fact i can still access TWRP and Download modes gives me hope that i get right my wrongs with your guidance! Please guys help a poor soul out!
So what did you flash or is it a secret rom ?
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers mobile app
I first flashed a ROM called Dilshad ROM v8, then when it did not work, i flashed AURORA rom, then Cyanogenmode 13 for note 3 N900 and finally i tried flashing a random stock firmware i downloaded from sammobile page for N900.

I HAVE READ THE POST + REPLIES!! Though , he said he flashed a random samsung software.. But how should i know if he did it with the tar.md5 or flashed it as a regular zip... I'm just a guy tryin to help, so any extra addition may help so don't just regard that as useless
Since term flashing is mostly used with recovery mode, so did he put it on download mode and BL the offical bootloader and PA/PDA the software that supports the same bootloader?

An idea that is maybe a bit risky is to put back the normal (stock) recovery and try to restore update from sd card or something like that... I'm not sure how safe it is so use it as a least resort... I didn't even hear anything like that its just an idea, it may not work... But hope it helps
Hi
I have a similar problem. I have a note 3 with original UK ROM and wanted to flash my operator ROM to get wifi calling. Both are android 5.0
The problem is after trying to flash the first time I had a problem that the new ROM would not fully flash. reading posts I understood I had to flash PIT file which I downloaded and flashed. After flashing PIT the new ROM did not go in so I flashed my original UK.
After reboot I kept getting security warnings that something has changed and I should reboot. After several boots the problem did not go away.
So I tried to flash ROM again, different tries between UK ROM and my operator ROM, but the phone now only loops at booting. Sometimes it gets stuck at first Samsung screen.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you
I understood I had to flash PIT file NO NO NO .
You don't flash a PIT file without good reason .
SM900 is EXYNOS not Qualcomm model .
So what phone model do you actually have as this threads question is N900 .
Ok sorry I have 9005.
