[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ziko:
The touch recovery i also flashed with redpill.

At the beginning with chinese leak, poeple has some issues while flashing from chinese leak kernel.

A bit in fear and to stay on the safe side, i flashed allways with redpill.

Reboot in recovery, flash Abyss 3.9, reboot in recovery, flash the kernel and than reboot the system.

And wiping, allways wiped all out.

A new install is easy and quick, mail, apps and the rest is quick functional again. Once installed, i never lost the maps downloaded on my device from CoPilot. Another data are all gone but that not a big problem, only the maps are big and need much time to download again from server.

Thats my way and if another poeple are willing to try it, possible its the safe way to test new ROMs here on XDA.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, i am noob inAndroid and linux , remeber only the old C64, Atari and DOS times.

Sorry again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
Yes but thats not the reason.

did you make a wipe after the flash of v1.1 or v1.2?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] stesteste:
I didn't make wipe after flashing v1.2 or v1.1 now flashed back Cf kernal you think I be OK
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ziko:
No, after flashing v1.1 or later v1.2 i rebootet the system

And flashing from v1.1 to v1.2 i did via redpill, too.

Never used the faulty kernel to flash anything or wipe with it.

Ever did it with Abyss 3.9.

ROMs with wiping described above, and new kernels without wiping.

The secret is there and the devs on XDA needs only a hint to bring the stone into rolling.

Hope i can help a little bit on that way
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
Yes it seems to be there are issues with the wipe options in v1.1 or v1.2.

I think, if you dont make a wipe with these both kernels, the Note can be saved.

@ stesteste

Have you tried it to flash a stock GB with Odin?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
the risk in total is too high using this kernel - you think about not wiping with it (flashing is no prob anyway) 99 times, but your forget it once and --> GAME OVER!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ziko:
yes, sure the risk is to big using this kernel.

I am now back on GB and waiting for something new.

The chinese leak and his derivates are now at dead end, there is no more development possible, safe development at the moment.

Lets smoke one and have a cool beer till waiting for any news
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] razorhanny:
Smoke what?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] stesteste:
will try just wanted some info before proceed its my fault if anything happens got to do sooner or layer cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MarcinXDA:
For those who luckily got back to GB from soft-brick:

I would suggest to stay on stock ROM for couple of days to be sure that nothing is messed with your device.

If sth occurs you're on stock so warranty not void.

I did not have so much luck;)

As I remember Manny07 hard-bricked his phone day after he got back to GB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] alesscam:
Mmmmm

..Chris.... this is very strange

...i have make full wipe with 1.1 kernel...

Now i'm running 1.2...but i don't have try flash any rom in this moment

Sent from GNote with Topa...... talk :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] androidindian:
so my friends, do you recommend not to install the kernels anymore?

and if we do , not to wipe right? and if we have to make a wipe, just go back to stock via odin or redpill via odin and then do right mate?

or you think the chinese leak itself is an issue.. and we should all wait for the next version for n7000

after having my phone motherboard replaced, im having all sorts of questions. the temptation of trying new roms is too addictive hehe :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
@ alesscam

mmmh you could try to flash the CF-Root Kernel (for ICS) by Chainfire.

You can also wait for my upload. (NAND backup of eybee's v22 GB Rom)

- dont flash the ICS Kernel by angelom v1.1 or v1.2

- if you already flash it, dont make a wipe

- if you already on TRR v1.6 with one of the two kernels, just fall back to v1.5 without any wipes, then feel free to flash a stock gb rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] alesscam:
Now(only for test)i'm running on Criskelo Rom ICS with Kernel 1.2....works well

Not sure if it may mean something,but i have installed triangleaway by chainfire and

when run this app,in "Current Status" i see "Device GTi9100",

while in the "Device Info" is obviously N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
I dont know Criskelo Rom. Maybe the app triangleaway by chainfire takes the device informations from the build.prop.

Pls look in your build.prop via texteditor to find out, whether there are any entries with "GT-I9100".

btw if you mean this rom : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448425

Pls note thats Gingerbread with ICS look! Its not Android v4.0.3 but v2.3.6.

Greets
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] btyork:
Triangle away isn't built to run on Gingerbread (last I checked) which may be why you have a wonky build.prop now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] alesscam:
Yes mate... i have already check in build.prop....

N7000

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
No, the jtag as it failed to revive the Note.

Surely if I send him to the Samsung Service, they will change the motherboard.

But I want to make one last attempt to modify the partitions directly with jtag, with a file that I modified. If it does not bring him to the Samsung Service.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] stesteste:
quick update for peple who seen my posts

i was on midnote 2.0 installed abys v1.1 and 1.2 never did wipe wasnt sure to try get back to GB anyway i went recovery

installed abys 3.9

go advanced reboot recovery

restored my nand back up of chracks rom

eveything went ok and back on GB

thanks for all your inputs for restoring back, good luck to you all

do you think because i am back with GB i can wipe data cache when i need to can i stop worrying cheers everyone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] btyork:
Yes. The issue is with the recovery that is in this Kernel. If you don't do anything from this kernel's recovery, you are fine. (Since you are back on Abyss, you can do anything like normal, especially since this is the most stable recovery we seem to have.)

Edit : On that note... ChrisX, are you having any issues reported with your touch recovery? I'm assuming not, but have to ask. I didn't think that the touch recovery per-say was the issue... it's just when modified from the leak we seem to run into issues.

Edit2: Just noticed that Angelom used a modified Abyss kernel in their Rhapsody ROM.... Oh how the rabbit hole get's deep.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] smalmagal:
Anybody had luck here in the states with returning their Notes?...not particularly sure where to send it myself, as I ordered the international version (obviously) from "X" retailer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jon3sh:
Seems like when you do wipe data and flash rom using 1.2 thats when you will get problems. I used 1.2 and never had problems but the thing is when I switch back to GB I flashed Abyss 4.1 first and without exiting recovery I use 4.1 to flash my GB backup.

..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] btyork:
Look up the closest Samsung Repair Center near you - give them a call, see what they say.... Conversation should go something like...

"I bought an International Galaxy Note while I was in XcountryX and just recently tried to do an update via Kies. My Note wont boot now. Can you honor the warranty?"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] daxmedflax:
I was on ROMOW ICS v1.0, flashed ICS full root kernel v1.1 in CWM. I did not wipe anything before or after initial kernel flash.

Never really had any issues (except lots of FC's) until this afternoon, when my Note suddenly went totally dead. I removed battery, and phone booted normally. This experience was enough to force me to try to revert to GB immediately.

What I did was;

-flash Abyss 3.9

-[advanced] reboot recovery

-restore nandroid backup

I'm now back to GB and everything is ok so far. (Already miss ICS though...)

I agree this might be how the issues arise.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] btyork:
Do me a favor - see if you still have true SU access...

Can you remount on ADB and "adb shell mount" ... see if /system and /data are both r/w.

I've heard reports (and experienced it myself once) of a nandroid from ICS to GB (even with abyss) not having true SU.

If you can't accomplish the above, no worries, just figured I'd give it a shot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] alesscam:
Ok mate...i have flashed with succesful Cf.root ICS kernel with Mobile odin

this is very strange because i have had full wipe with angelom kernel 1.1 and after i have flash 1.2

now i can restore my GB nandroid...right???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] daxmedflax:
Well to be honest, I'm a noob, so don't even really know how ADB works. Is there any other way of checking this? Maybe with root explorer or something? I just tried both copying, pasting and deleting files in both /system and /data, and was able to do all those at least. This means true SU access?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] btyork:
Yeah, if you can get into /system and /data and paste files into those directories, that's close enough.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] brockyneo:
Well guys I've done it sending phone to Samsung and I've gone to the iPhone4s lol girlfriend has given me hers she setting a new one so I will be selling my note when it returned just want to say hope everyone gets sorted and thanks to everyone especially eybee,chrisx,anglom,cassy,casmono,criskelo sure I've missed a few and think I may have spelt a few wrong lol good luck if all else fails and I really don't take to the iPhone I'll be back with note thanks again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mfractal:
This is unbelievable that jtag does not revive it. I was under the impression that jtag can repair any non hardware issue, seems I was wrong. Hope you succeed with your experiments! Good luck!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
Yes, but my problem is due to a change as a very low level that I had inserted into the kernel test
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eitama:
Same here. On TRR 1.5 with cf kernel for long time now. No problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] crawlgsx:
I tried looking/calling around for you but I could not find a local samsung repair dealer in our area :-/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antiguangenius:
Seems like if you can get back to GB safe you should stay there and wait..... ICS seem like if it stays in the open to long it starts to melt.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
Sorry, I was to my girlfriend.

ETA for NAND backup 55min.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antiguangenius:
Chris you going back to GB??? I'm going to attemp to go back to GB just now... ICS bells and whistles seem very costy.... and to me its currently not that stable....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
...with my old soft bricked phone? No! Yesterday I've tried it if a reworked *.pit and then it was shot by me = hard bricked.

I have no JTAG Box.

Today I got a new Note and I flashed the RR v22 GB Rom by Eybee.

Then I made a Nand backup and I hope it can help to other guys without a Nand backup.

...but I'm not sure because *.md5 Checksum.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antiguangenius:
oh that sucks....

I just successfully made it back to GB from ICS whew!!!

This is what I did....

1. Boot into Recovery.

2. Flash GB Modem.

3. Reboot to ICS verify modem changed...

4. Boot into Recovery

5. Flash GB rom... this is the interested part is was stuck for 20 mins...

6. I did battery pull

7. Power on into Recovery

8. Reflash Same GB rom then boom in 45 seconds if so long it said completed...

Rebooted now I'm back to GB successfully.......

ICS is now off my list until official....

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eliot_11:
sorry, mistake
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] k1ng617:
A little off topic, but if I only have "partial root", can I still use Mobile Odin (while on an ICS ROM) to flash the CF-Repack to gain back "complete root" then flash back to my original ROM to have it with complete root?

I lost my complete root, when I tried to go from Midnote to Criskelo's ROM :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] entaro:
Have flash the kernek on rocket v1.5 rom, will monitor and feedback especially on the battery drain life.

thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] k1ng617:
Just to clarify:

1) Install the kernel

2) Reboot

3) delete /data/text

4) reinstall the kernel, in order to get full root and cwm
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
A) First time:

1) Install the kernel

2) Reboot

in order to get full root and cwm

B) Second,third time, etc...

1) delete /data/text

2) Install the kernel

3) Reboot

in order to get full root and cwm
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jon3sh:
So for second timw flashing it first step delete/ data / text? Ho do you do that?

..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
yes, you must delete it manually
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] k1ng617:
FYI

For those thinking they can flash this kernel while "partially rooted" to get "full root" it won't work -not that it was promised that it would- I just wanted to give it a shot. Not a fault of Angelom's. Thanks for a working touch recovery Angelom!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] m3dd0g:
How i dont have root ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jon3sh:
Sorry for my question it I didnt post propery question for that is where do I delete it manually?

..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Featherbeard:
My apologies for being confused (and a bit stupid :( ); Are we required to already be on an ICS rom to install this via CWM? I'm currently using Checknote V5 and am confused on whether I need to go back to a stock (rooted) version before installing this or not.

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eliot_11:

Just want to clarify. When got stuck for 20 min. did flashing succeeded?

IS your note already softbricked before doing this procedure?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
Yeah I saw it angelom. :o

I think it makes no sense to buy a box for our notes. It seems the h/w is broken and then the box would not help.

I'm sorry! ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
Fortunately, the riff box jtag me have borrowed ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] graemeg:
For those that havent bricked, flashing back to GB is simple, same as youd flash stock in Ketans guide, i have done this from Midnote and Criskelo.

Make a firmware folder on ya sd, copy the files of stock to folder, and if ya can get it, the zimage for cf kernel.

Also copy Abyssnote35 to 39 to sd card.

Reboot to recovery, flash abyss kernel and reboot back without wiping anything.

After that run cwm app and flash stock firmware choosing root and boom, cwm sorts it out in no time.

This method wouldnt work with cf kernel installed, but works great with abyss installed.

I see people are insisting on using mobile odin a lot, im not a big fan of mobile odin, too many issues flashing with that, CWM is solid and works everytime to return to GB.

Its a shame that this problem has happened at this point, it has put quite a few of wanting to flash custom ics, as it has me, i will wait for official for samsung now, not prepared to gamble my note on it as i currently have no idea who has or hasnt included in this kernel in any of their developments.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
Yeah unfortunately!

Do you have a donation button anywhere?

I think it's a good investment for you and all other devs. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] antiguangenius:
No it frooze so i remove battery and boot back into recovery mode.....

no it was on ICS... was working was not bricked.... but from previous experience if i try to go from ICS to gb without changing the modem first it will always be stuck at modem, i have been through that a while back where its stuck at modem 3 for hours on numerous attempts... then i decided to flash modem first the GB from.... I dunno if anyone every had that issue but i did the first day i got my note and decide to go messing with roms lol.....

I use modem XXKL7.... XXKL8 never works for me but my original modem was KL7 i check that before every rooting my device...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
First...I'm very proud to be a part of you XDA-guys. There a tons of helpful solutions. Thats the community, I dream every night of the ;)

O.K. guys...the Nand backup is online.

Eybee's RocketRom v22 Gingerbread comes with the AbyssNote Kernel 3.6 (RedPill).

I think you make nothing wrong, if you are flash first this Kernel.

for CWM-Recovery User: http://www.mediafire.com/?80n18xm228ttrr9

for Download-mode User (Odin PC): pls look @ attachment (pls unzip it to *.tar, then flash it with Odin on "PDA")

After this follow the instructions and pics:

- download the NAND backup

- unzip it to "clockworkmod"

- copy the folder "clockworkmod" to your sd card

- go to cwm recovery

- then:

...external sd card:

or (wherever you have stored the NAND backup)

...internal sd card:

- now choose 2012-03-06.15.30.14/ and flash it:

I wish you much luck and be patient, it may take a while ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] npras42:
Chris X have you managed to fix it for everyone? If you have WELL DONE!! :D:D:D

I don't have a broken Note but I feel very bad for all the people that have bricked because it could easily have been me and I would've been very upset about it.

EDIT: Just read back a bit... possible fix for some is it? Still if it works for some its worthwhile.

I am really sorry, but that is what everyone with a bricked phone is experiencing. There is nothing you can do right now, but sending it in for repair. Flashing a GB Kernel and entering recovery mode makes no difference either. You won't be able to write to the /data partition.

ChrisX's Nandroid backup can only be used by the guys who still have a running ICS system.
