[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
This is a GT-N7000 forum, maybe the procedure on your phone is different? Maybe someone here will have an answer for you, but if not maybe try posting on the i717 forum too and see if someone has an answer

I am not sure why you are doing the volume down first...

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are doing, but if it is the same as the GT-N7000, and your phone doesn't have issues, you should be able to do Volume-UP (not down), Power, and Home.... (don't do the volume down procedure first)

that is what worked for me

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

Question of my own:

Can I flash ROMs with the temp CWM? If so, do I need to worry about binary count? If so, also, do I need to worry about the brick bug if I am on an affected setup?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] White Hat:
I just mentioned it (the Vol DOWN+Home+Power procedure to boot to download mode for Odin) to indicate that that function works properly. Which is why I wondered if there was something different I have missed other than Volume UP for a recovery boot.

Thanks for taking the time for your answer. I'll take your advice and slide over to the i717 forum even at the risk of appearing as a crossposter.

Successfully Rooted My Galaxy Note. It asks for "Superuser (Chainssd)" update.

First of all thanks "deathst".

I am very new to the ROOTING. First time done it.

Successfully Rooted My Galaxy Note. I used this thread "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647148".

Now my phone asks for "Superuser (Chainssd)" update via Google Play (Market).

Should I update it..??

Can I uninstall "Superuser (Chainssd)" after updating it via Google Play..??

Can I Un-Root my phone again by the process given in above thread, after updating "Superuser (Chainssd)" update via Google Play (Market)..??

I will prefer to Un-Root my Galaxy Note at some point later to claim my warranty with Samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
You can update and don't remove the file (ever, your root is partially-useless w/o it, because it is what allows programs to obtain superuser access... if you don't understand what superuser access is view this: http://androidsu.com/superuser/ )

Yes, you can later unroot at any point easily by rebooting into recovery as you previously did and running unroot

TW Launcher error

Hi All,

Actually I am in deep trouble because of my Galaxy Note now days. It is having TW Launcher error. I am totally unable to use my phone. It keeps restarting itself after every 10 sec. Everybody is giving me advice to Hard Reset / Factory Reset to my device. But my Major problem is that I have some very very important (almost 900 pics) saved in its internal memory. These pics are very very important for me and I do not want to loose these pics at all.

I am unable to take backup because its does not recognised by my or any other Laptop due to it restarting issue. This is the reason why I am not giving my mobile to any technician because no one is giving me any guarantee about my data. It is more than two weeks now, but I am still hoping that someone can solve this problem for me. In this forum I found some knowledgeable people so I get some light that someone from this forum can help me to resolve this issue. So please help me in this substance.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Can you get into cwm recovery? If yes there some ways that can help back up file under cwm. Also, normally if you install rom(to fix the issues of rebooting) it does not affect internal sdcard where pictures are stored. After having a new rom working you will find all your picture again in there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Pic stored in Internal memory(or external) won't erase by hard reset. ( except you specially select to format USB storage in hard reset screen)

So no need to worry.

You can reflash ROM and solve your launcher problem.

But i dont recommend to hard reset on ICS stock. First flash GB ROM, then only hard reset.

still you want to safe from data erase, copy all Int storage picture to Ext storage with My files, then remove ext SD card and do watever you needed on device without fearing data loss.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
Hi, Yes I am able to go to recovery mode. Could you please explain me the complete procedure step by step if you don't mind?

Thank you!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
As instructed, I have installed all three files and copied to my external SD Card. On recovery mode, I run the CMW.zip and however manage to take backup of my data BUT the backup is also on internal SD Card not External SD Card.

However, when I try to install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip file it gives error that "E:signature verification failed" I saw in one video ans it showed that SU-Busybox-Installer.zip file should be copied on Internal SD Card, but I cannot copy SU-Busybox-Installer.zip file on Internal SD Card because as I mentioned my Laptop is not detecting my Phone at all. I am quite sure you guys have some solution for this problem as well.

Moreover, by mistake I took backup of my data twice on my Internal Sd Card and now my Internal SD Card is showing full. Is there any possibility to delete one of my backups in recovery mode. Thank you!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
what you have back-up in CWM is only userdata for application which is not the picture that you want. There are few options below to recover pictures:

1. While phone is in CWM, connect usb able to a PC. Then go into CWM, go to mount and storage then try mount usbstorage which should make your internal sdcard appear in PC as a usbstorage device. Then copy picture out from it to your PC.

2. If that does not work for you then try to install Aroma file manager (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646108) which will operate under CWM environment and will allow you to copy file between internal and external sdcard.

3. If that does not work either: then should install a CM9 rom (such as Paranoid Android or other custom roms you can find in the development section) using CWM. Install a safe CM9 kernel such as Speedmod or Franco first, then install the CM9 rom. You should download and copy them to external sdcard and install using CWM. Once the system boot up normally then you can find your picture still there in the internal sdcard of your phone.

cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
OMG I was thinking that I have taken the backup of my pics as well :(

Anyways I am going to use the below methods, and will update you accordingly.

1. I tried this method and when I clicked mount and storage then try mount USB storage the message appeared "E: Unable to openums lunfile (No such file or directory)". it means I am still unable to copy my Pics to my PC :(

2. However, when I try to install amorafm -1.00.zip file it gives same error that "E:signature verification failed" probebly the same reason that it is installed on External SD Card not on Internal SD Card.

Now I am going to use 3rd method, Do you think it will work? Or it will show the same error that "E:signature verification failed"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Try it.

It looks like cwm may mixed up between internal and external sdcard. If the 3 still not work then you may try to remove external sdcard and use adb push file to internal sdcard and install from there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
I will .... Could you please explain the 3rd one step by step with download links?

At present I have downloaded couple of files, Not sure these are right file to copy.

pa_maguro-ota-1.9.1.alpha.zip (145MB)

&

gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip (85MB)

Thank you!!

Hi Dr. Ketan

Could you also please help me in this substance?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
I am on the move. Still, install custom rom using cwm is a standard procedure. You will find more detailed instruction in respective thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Looking back to your posts it seems you have not rooted phone so recocery can do only very limitted things. Flash a custom kernel like cfroot via odin will give root and full cwm, although it will raise flash counter (which can be dealt with later on). Once you have root the prolem above should be solved.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
I am still unable to understand the process. Via odin the mobile must be connected with the PC but my PC is not detecting my phone at all. In recovery mode it opens only CWM zip file for all other zip files it shows "E:signature verification failed"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
While in android pc could not detect but in recocery and download mode i guess it may. If not it will be more difficult. Alo try to change cable and pc to make sure not caused by those.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
I think I have explained in my previous posts that it is not detecting in any mode. I have tried with different cables on different PCs but in vain.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
You can still try option three. Copy kernel and rom in zip format to external sdcard and install using cwm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
CWM is not installing anything from External SD Card. Now what can I do?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
This is likely a problem people called 'usb brick'. Some people recommend to clean up the port but unlikely to work. After that the only way is to replace usb port component (at the service center). Once computer can connect to phone it will be easy to recover photos and fix the rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
I don't think there is any issue with usb port. Only the problem is my phone is restarting again and again, because of this all PCs are unable to connect the device.

Anyhow I have managed to root the mobile but still my problem is same, after restart my phone is restarting again and again. I ran the aroma file manager but I am unable to see where the pics are stored, because it is showing folders under "Root" only. Please advice?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Try to find 'sdcard' among the folder and explore that. Pictures tajen by phone are store inder sdcard/dcim.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
sdcard folder is showing empty.

I have rooted the phone in recovery mode and now when I restart the phone it shows that optimizing application 1....123 of 123, and after that it stuck and again start optimizing application 1....123 of 123 repeating the same again and again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I think after trying this and that may u mess ur note n picture, which was not supposed to delete by just wiping device.

Since y'day.you are.trying lot things, merely u need flashing gb rom and wipe cache n data to solve issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
Yes, You are watching me since yesterday but didn't come up with the solution. As you know that I have some very important pics in my internal memory. Please let me know step by step (if possible, with file links) what to do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Should make sure it is not your external sdcards. Also the aroma file manager may have a prolem seeing files properly. Since it looks like you have been able to flash zip file using cwm now should flash a custom rom, then wipe cache and data (factory reset), that is option 3 recommended. Hopefully, once booted into a new rom you may file pictures. Still if you somehow have performed a full wipe (which include sdcard) then could have deleted pictures there. You did not report all actions and results so difficult to know what happened.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
At present I have downloaded following zip files on my External SD Card

40ad2sdx-a2Recovery

And I have tried running almost all files via CWM.

Another thing that I have in my mind is the my internal memory is 100% full with 0MB space. May be it is one of the reason of error in my phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Does it reboot frequently in recovery mode?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
And looks like have no custom rom yet in your external sdcard? Should download one such as paranoid android or another custom rom from development section. Abd follow their instruction to install.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
No, It does not reboot itself in recovery mode
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Good. does computer recognize it in recovery mode?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
No computer does not recognize it even in recovery mode.

Can you please send me the link of custom rom file and the method how to use it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
That is the reason why i suspect it is a usb brick case. Since if computer can recognize the you can connect adb and can shell into phone, list folders and files and can also pull files from internal sdcard. I do not have access to computer atm but will see if i can find a link from forum on my phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:

Are you sure these are not rom files

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
That is fine, i like to help out.

I do not know if that ota alpha is a rom or something. You can try to install if it is. Btw factory reset only delete application data but not photos on sdcard, that is for sure. If you do not wipe data (which is the same as factory reset) the new rom may not boot properly and you may stuck at start logo.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:

from following thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797698

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Yes, that is correct thread. Should read the instruction there as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
I read the instructions, It was for GB, now I am downloading from the following thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662802

Are you 200% sure that it will not delete my pics, because it shows that this will delete all user data from internal sd card
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Good that you figure it out. Both gb and cm9 should be fine but if you were on ics then should go for cm9.

Yes, i have done factory reset msny times in my phones and it never touch my internal sdcard. Just need to make sure you are on a safe kernel first. Install speedmode or franco kernel first and restart phone then do wipe cache, dalvic cache and data, then install the new rom.

Userdata it refer to is application data stored in datafs partition and not the pictures or music files on internal sdcard. But never do full wipe since that option in cwm seem to clear also the internal sdcard.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
Are you on ICS? What is safe kernel and how to be on safe kernel? I think Speedmode is there, the list of files I showed you. Do I need anything else to download or these two files Speedmode & Paranoid are enough for whole process.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Edit: speedmod is only for stock-based rom.

There is an excellent thread by Chasmodo for all Note kernels which is very helpful: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1789397

Should select a suitable kernel from there for respective rom used. Also should read in the respective rom about suggested kernel for use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
What about "Install HYBRID Gapps: http://www.paranoid-rom.com/index.ph...pps-hybrid.zip"

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
Error downloading the file

"You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server."
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Gapps is not essential to boot rom. So can proceed with rom instalatiom first. It looks like you have gapps downloaded already so can use that.

Btw, were you on gb ir ics? I cannot recall that info. If you were on gb before then should install gb custom such as rocket v22 and abyssnote kernel. Easy to find in forum. And more simple than cm9.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
I was on ICS, It is recommended to go back to GB b4 installing the rom. Now I am looking for the thread of going back to GB from ICS. What is this ..........
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Just flash abyssnote kernel then restart and make you have booted into this kernel (you can see the cwm interface has changed frkmyiur current one) then you can wipe cache and data and install custom gb rom such as rocket v22.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
It means I require below files to download;

abyssnote kernel

rom rocket v22

Paranoid rom for GB
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Only first two files. Rocket and paranoid are two different roms.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ghori303:
Rocket v22 for gb or ics?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
If you believe me, ICS also won't wipe internal memory, But same time i don't recommend it. If you remember i said this on first msg. B'coz wiping on ICS can cause brick.

And your lack of confidence (or excessive fear) have put you in trouble.This was my first msg to you.

Remember this

Internal memory can wipe with two condition only, irrespective of ROM version

1.From setting - factory reset + if you select option to format USB storage separately

2.Dialling code *2767*3855#

Hi,

About roms I have not used much ICS. Still from users feedback it seems Cleanote is a good one, as also suggested in the post above. It is a stock (or TouchWiz)-based custom rom. Goatrip ICS for Note is also a good stock based one which is not listed in the XDA need to search google. With those stock-based rom you can use Speedmod or Franco kernel for ICS.

If you like very small size rom (just about 140 MB) then can try CM9 such as Paranoid Android (the link for Hybrid Gap was broken but someone has posted a mirror in this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662802&page=766). Or can try Nightlies. Kernels for CM9 are suggested in their threads.

For a complete list of kernel and recommendations for use should check out Chasmodo thread which is very useful: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1789397

If you use safe kernels and custom ICS roms there is no worries about the emmc bug.
