Definitely there got to be something wrong with LSA. It true that many of the users experiencing problems did something wrong during flash, but many of us had also do everything by the book and still face issues with the FW.

Personally This is my fifth instalation.

1st run: Joosh3's Ultimate N7000 XXLSA JellyBean 4.1.2 v5. coming from PA 2.50. Wiped data/cache/dalvik. formatted data/cache/system/preload/emmc. flashed from CWM (no errors). rebooted. set accounts. install TB, restored apps. all good. played with video zoom, phone rebooted, stuck at splashscreen. (after thar I read about issue with zoom. lesson read first play later).

2nd run: Joosh3's Ultimate N7000 XXLSA JellyBean 4.1.2 v5. Philz Kernel. Wiped data/cache/dalvik. formatted data/cache/system/preload/emmc. flashed from CWM (no errors). rebooted. set accounts. install TB, restored apps. all good. played around a while,changed batteries. stuck at splashscreen.

3rd run: Eybee1970's Stock deodexed and rooted XXLSA / NEW Leak! Philz Kernel. Wiped data/cache/dalvik. formatted data/cache/system/preload/emmc. flashed from CWM (no errors). rebooted. set accounts. install TB, restored apps. all good. played around a while, rebooted phone just to try. all good. Next morning stuck at splashscreen.

4th run: Eybee1970's Stock deodexed and rooted XXLSA / NEW Leak! PC Odin + PIT file+ ICS LR9. reboot. set up. root with Philz Kernel. Wiped data/cache/dalvik. formatted data/cache/system/preload/emmc. flashed from CWM (no errors). rebooted. set accounts. install TB, restored apps. all good. played around a while, rebooted phone just to try. all good. 15 hours later change batteries. stuck at splashscreen. rebooted a couple of times. phone alive again. 10 minutes later phone's reboot by itself. stucked at splash screen.

5th run: Sammobile/Faryaab's [Leaked Firmware] N7000XXLSA (4.1.2) - ODIN Firmware from Samsung's Server [28-11-12]. PC Odin + PIT file + XXLSA. reboot. setup. install TB, restored apps. all good. about 5 hours running. we'll see what the outcome.

Don't forget about other small issues on runs 1 - 4 like MTP not reading MicroSD correctly, top bar of gallery moved down some times, low on memory, short battery life... not big deal but they are there. So yes I think XXLSA still needs some refinement.

Update: first thing I notice. I flashed [Leaked Firmware] N7000XXLSA (4.1.2) - ODIN Firmware from Samsung's Server [28-11-12] this afternoon (about 2:30 p.m. my local time) even before setting anything up I tryed MTP (at my office) and it worked perfectly. Later I got home, set up everuthing, restored apps, the whole thing. I'm connecting my Note to my laptop and now MTP its failing to read my MicroSD properlly. (Both computers run Windows 7 32bits).

Hope this is of any use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
dude those are all custom roms. Try lsa pure stock. I didnt have a single one. knock on wood lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rupalazzi:
True. Joosh3's rom is modified. Eybee's its just deodexed. Yet both present same issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rocheau:
I have also experimented this issue . Please do not come to us saying all things we have already heard like how to properly install a new rom and bla bla. Many of here already know how to flash a rom and all things you need to take into account before to install it.

There is definitely an issue with LSA firmware. Maybe you would not note it in the first 20 hours or even 1st week, but probably you will to deal with it, later or sooner.

At least this issue is present with all modified rom including mods. I have not tried the pure stock rom yet, maybe I will let it a try just to see what happen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rupalazzi:
I agree with you. Maybe I did not explained myself correctly, but all my explanation was trying to show that even when there are roms that have been modified (to any degree). The fact that all present the same kind of behavior is an indicative that whatever is malfunctioning must be in source.

You'll have to forgive my English, but I'm quite rusty. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
I had no problem with the ROM (did full wipes including preload) but one day my phone battery died and it refused to boot again ,I had to do a full wipe and reinstall again for it to work.

I'm guessing data corruption is much more likely to occur on these leaked Kernels (I've had corruption problems with my emmc and sdcard before) ,so be careful when using them people .

I'm on jellybam right now ,I kinda missed the AOSP clean look.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kryosan:
Met my note this morning hung and hot. Tried to reboot, but got stuck on "Galaxy NOTE N7000" screen. Then I've made /cache format and wiped dalvik. Note booted up and hung after minute or so. I tried to wipe caches again, but this time got bricked emmc :mad:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lionelia:
It's always better to restore the Note to factory state with Odin before flashing any rom, sometimes wiping is not enough :good:

This MUST be done with a stock rom (Ginger Bread is fine) including the PIT file, doing that will leave your Note with a clean filesystem and clean partitions.

Don't root your phone with InitialCFrootFlasher, I had some stability issue doing that. It's better to flash the CFroot kernel with Odin.

After that you'll have a clean rooted Note and you'll be able to flash any other rom with no issue at all:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Eybees base is system dump not the full leak. Many ofvthe custom roms are, then that is the common denominator
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
My experience is the following:

Joosh3's rom is great but not reliable, at least every second day there is a sod and the phone won't boot anymore.

XXLSA released by sammobile on the other hand is stable with the exception of a few minor glitches like apps that force close. The experience I have made with joosh3's rom confirms what I have always said, no custom roms for me, nothing beats the reliability of a stock rom. Because even though I like to play with my device and to customize it, it's still my phone I have to rely on for everydays communication. So I ddfinitely cannot deal with frequent sods.

well even i have flashed rom with complete wipe no prob no fc but some time when i flash some mods my device hangs on galaxy note screen then some time wipes work and some time it works without wipe just i remove the battery and with wait of 2 sec i put it back and it works might be its normal well hope new lsc firm can serve us better :good:

XXLSA Spontaneous reboot issue

No, I am not suffering from this issue at all, but I am using SweetROM v2.5 based on XXLSA

There might be a system app that is force closing in the background causing the reboot (it happened to me when I replaced secPhone.apk to disable ascending ringtone)

Or it might be due to heavy memory-consuming app that you own

Also, you might want to check he MD5 of the ROM you downloaded from the OP in the respective thread

I recommend SweetROM, Great work by not-i
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] phedders:
I think youre hitting the problem mentioned elsewhere that restoring apps with data looks to have worked but you get stuck at the Sammy logo after the next reboot.

Just don't restore data with TB RT etc
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rupalazzi:
Maybe that could be it. But in my case, I experienced the same issue restoring apps with and without data. Still got stcuked at reboot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
It's the mods not the rom. Stop flashing mods and the XXSLA will run almost flawlessly.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
:good: Using this ROM for two days and didnt happen such thing. It works flawlessly hope the get stable one soon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clausg:
I had the exact same situation. Several times. I wiped with the good old hydracore 4.3, wiped everything, formatted, etc. Name it, i did it, to clear my Note and make it as sterile as possible.

And each time after LSA installation, the sooner or later, it got stuck on the splash screen. Tried all ways out, wipe cache, press power button long time, restored data,... name it, I did it.

I got really desperate as I wanted to have LSA.

Then, when LSC came out, I jumped on it, I was convinced LSA had a bug. But, what shall I tell you? After I installed LSC the same thing happened, the Splash Screen, after my 3rd or 4th reboot.

Then I went the long way: PC Odin and a full wipe stock unrooted GB Rom with PIT file. From there I rooted, then LSC again.

Result: working now.

Hell, some very nasty **** seems to survive all wipes it seems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joey_oggie:
Same thing happened with me. I wiped everything (Factory reset, wipe cache, format data, format system, format preload, format cache, wipe dalvik cache). It happened twice on LSA and the solution was to restore a backup I made before it happened and it booted fine.

I installed LSC and it also happened. I didn't have a backup of LSC so I booted into CWM and made a backup (of the non-booting LSC) and restored it as soon as it finished. It worked! I have no idea why it worked, but it did.

Both were completely stock by the way. I didn't flash any mod, not even the multiwindow for unlimited apps mod. And all the apps I installed (only 7 or 8, ok I lied maybe more than that) were downloaded from Play Store. Nothing restored from TB.

I'm not sure whether this has to do with the two ROMS I tried (Eybee's LSA and an LSC I created from the dump). I haven't tried the LSA provided by Sammobile yet (I don't think I will; I feel LSD is around the corner :D) but even if it is, I'm sure it will get fixed before the final release.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fjmk:
Well, I flashed my Gnote with LSA firmware last week.

I feel that my Note has battery drain issues. Last night I left my phone with 50% with Wifi mode on and after 7 hours, without use, goes to 34%!!! When I used 4.0.4 in the worts situation, te battery falls 5% during the night.

Any comments about?????
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
I have given up on JB for now. The sod and bootloop bug persists in every single rom that is built on one of the leaks. I thought I had gotten rid of it with the sammobile leak but no, after 3 days sod was back and the bootloop too. That was to much for me, I restored my ICS nand backup and now I am happy to have a phone that simply works. No more leaks for me, I will wait until Samsung releases JB officially.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Maybe a rogue app?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RomBox:
LSA is a real bad build. some people always think others are noob and not flash ROM correctly before they meet the same problem.

LS7 looks ok to use till now. the battery life is as good as GB and ICS, plus it has ExFat support. sometimes it's laggie but still usable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nickshertzer:
+1

XXLSA gave me the random reboot of death yesterday after running perfectly stable for days. No warning and no getting it to boot short of system format and reinstall. I could have restored nandroid of LSA but chose to go back to XXLS7 also because of stability. If i have time this week, I might try XXLSC, but with "D" around the corner, not sure the ink effect is worth the possibility of a broken system. ...plus, I think I prefer the edge of the screen one finger zoom! No lag here, but I get pretty aggressive with apks in /system/app and delete pretty much anything that says Samsung ;)

People always complain on XDA about the battery life of a ROM that was released 20 minutes ago. JB takes a long time to "settle" because of Media Scanner and Dalvik rebuild. Battery life is great for me now. 78% after 15 hours? Good enough I think ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
almost all issues I had were with the dumped firmware based leaks, both lsa and lsc. Stock lsa (sammobile) still worked best for me.

Battery wise its never good enough, lol. It should run like that without taking everything out, out of the box.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jjamain:
Eybee stock deodex no prob since first day release.

Make sure full wipe as mention earlier.

Make sure you hv correct md5 (complete download)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] coolfire000:
cant use ROMS

The same problems with 2 cells of mine guys,

I used the things very well till xxls7, most probably

But now i just cant use any any any ROM, not even ics.

this started after i flashed (cwm) xxlsa.

whatsoever rom i use, my device restarts in max 24 hours and sets peacfully there at the samsung gt-n7000 . . screen.

It will not boot up again unless flashing any of the rom again.

To be very clear - what i did before flashing the rom is as follows:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe dalvik cache

wipe cache partition

format cache + system + data + preload + emmc + sdcard, is there anything left ???,

Again to be clear, then all my directories are 100% empty, coz when i try to install a zip, it shows nothing in internal as well as external/sd card.

So can somebody please help me on this. I tried flashing with this complete system for more than 6 times just on xxlsa, then 2/3 times on xxlsc, but failed.so came back to ics, tried alliance rom (by this I NEVER SAY THAT THIS ROM HAS ANY SORT OF PROBLEMS), but fortunately same happened again. My device stopped at Samsung gt - n7000 . . . within a couple of around 8/12 hours.

Hope eveything is v clear now.

hufffffffffffffff wrote too much :D:D:D

Sorry but just to make it crystal clear :cowboy:;):cowboy::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nandihno:
Ok have not downloaded the rom because I sold my note and got a nexus 4 16gb

However what I would do is to downgrade to gb via odin and do a clean data

then from there do Odin the new jb rom

I would check repartition and put the pit file

And flash the jb rom

Then I would go to recovery and do a clear data clear cache then allow device to boot

I've done the above with all the leaked ics roms and no problems

Just my 2c
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clausg:
Exactly what I did. I had serious problems with hang on boot screen. I did a repartition with odin and went the whole long way. Now I have no problem at all anymore.

I think from LSA onwards, something can mess with your partition. Then subsequently this reboot problem will occur.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] coolfire000:
flashing with pit and more info

Sir can u please explain a bit in detail please ?

I mean how to do repartition, which files to be used in pit.

and after that will i be able to use xxlsa and onwards ?

thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] howard bamber:
If you want a reliable, daily driver do not use leaked rooms. They are a work in progress. The reason some work on some phones and not others is down to a lot of things. They're are 3 main boards with differing volt groups etc

My main complaint it's the massive memory leaks.reading how much mem . Each app used said cwm was using 1.2tb!!

Use for what they are

From the man in your attic...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rjdoli:
I had the same problem today.

Yesterday I flashed AllianceROM beta 1.1 LSC, from LS7, and all was ok, no problems like the ones reported on thread.

But today, without any reason I was stuck in a boot loop.

Had to reflash from scratch, with all wipes from several safe kernels.

I'll try the "long" path, with an older rom if this happens again.

Thank you all for sharing experiences.

Boot hang on LSA and LSC Leaked ROMS - LS7 fine

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] clausg:
Russ, Coolfire, or whoever has the returning "Galaxy Note" Boot Screen: I recommend you to go the long way. The below is what I did. I had serious problems with Boot Screen before, it made me crazy and I tried everything what is mentioned here on XDA. Now all my problems with the boot screen are gone.

I think since LSA (I did flash all new roms and had the boot screen thing the sooner or later in LSA and LSC) there was somewhere on the way (maybe even before, e.g. in LS7) something injected in some rom which was very persistent. No wipe, reset or format can kill it. That's just my theory. So I tried the last resort: pit file repartition.

1. go to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23357737&postcount=1

Get a Gingerbread 2.3.6 Rom, I took the full wipe N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1 Open Europe (02/03/2012), just to be sure to wipe everywhere I could.

2. get the correct pit file for your Note (either the 16GB or 32GB) - see attachment

3. go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997&highlight=flash+odin+pit+csc

Have a look how to flash with PIT and Rom with PC Odin (if you don't have PC Odin, make sure you have all drivers you need installed, I think it is all mentioned in this thread)

After flashing, you should have a rooted GB Rom on your phone.

4. To be very safe, I then flashed hydracore kernel (attached, known to be safe and can wipe nicely without ICS emmc brick bug risk) via PC Odin

5. I went into CWM Recovery then wiped and formatted everything I saw. Now the phone should be really really clean. Sterile actually. It's now repartitioned and brutally wiped and formatted.

5.a Optional: you can check if you have any bad blocks with a nice tool from hg42, see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29996469&postcount=1. I used emmc_find_brick_start.zip (attached)

6. I rebooted into CWM Recovery and flashed from my external SD Ultimate Rom (but flash whatever you want from here, any CWM flashable .zip or you can go into download mode again and flash a rom via PC Odin, for example from the post mentioned in step 1.)

Note: not sure if you really need to PC-Odin-flash a GB Rom or if it is enough doing the PIT repartition alone, also if you need to flash the notecore and to do the wipe. But at least it is (relatively) safe (I mean you don't run into the brick bug situation) and it worked for me.

Note 2: I got somewhere the yellow triangle (I think when I flashed the GB Rom, not sure), but with the Play Store app "triangle away" I got rid of it without any problems.

Note 3: Please read the referred links very carefully. Don't commit any mistake here, you are handling serious deep system activities which all can destroy your phone.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lsauer:
Same here. I just want to add that one has to realize that just because you flash a ROM doesn't mean that the ROM is ALL the software on your phone. Obviously many have already tinkered with custom bootloaders. The Bootloader is in a sense a BIOS!

I think your "phone's history" would help to narrow down the problem...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Yep, dont forget residues, sometimes needed for ota, most of the time conflicting junk left over or reimported.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nickshertzer:
FYI

This just happened to me on XXLSC based Alliance ROM. Reboot of death. I went back to ICS for now. :crying:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
yep had it on all custom ones LSA and LSC. Even LSA based on the stock leak.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TomFrom:
Mine was hanging on the boot screen running ultimate v5.1, i booted into recovery, backed up the phone then restored the backup i had just made, worked perfectly. Just a thought...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nickshertzer:
I used nandroid to go back a couple of times and try again, but that doesn't change the fact that there is a data corruption bug in the Samsung firmware. Sadly, it may point to a much later release date for official JB.

Either Samsung has implemented a self destruct bug in the XXLSA/XXLSC firmware, or their engineers are completely clueless.

Not to mention the mem leaks and media scanner chewing through batteries like candy! I love JB, but come on Samsung! Get it together! Just release source code already and let the CM team do your job for you!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geoux:
It IS a bug but not serious

XXLSA getting stuck in bootup screen is a bug and is usually encountered when it is not restarted properly. The solution is when it is struck in bootloop, go into recovery (Vol Up+Home+Power) and reboot from recovery. It will boot normally. No need to reflash. I have encountered this quite a few times if I whack out the battery or power off by holding the power switch long. If I use the restart option from the power-off menu, it boots normally. Am on Ebyee's Stock XXLSA and may conclude after 2 weeks of constant daily use that it is very stable and reliable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
better you try the stock leak, cause it doesnt have some of the bugs the dump leaks have.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexairway:
I have noticed that the boot loop no matter what you do (clear-erase everything) is present in all xxlsa and xxlsc roms.went back to xxls7 and saved myself..im gonna stick with rocketrom v3 for now.i occasionally get some random restarts but at least it doesnt get stuck on the boot and it goes straight on the sim unlock srcreen :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ViD0:
no problems at all. Flasg GB , full wipe and format usb memory through system options, after that XXLSA JB full stock, work 2+ weeks with no problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] angus_mcfisher:
Many thanks... I'd just like to report that doing only steps 1-3 did not seem to work (it was NYE so I didn't want to spend it all on my phone), so it looks like we might be best doing all 6. Can you confirm that the bug still hasn't returned for you?

Thanks again for your contribution. I'll try the full steps in the next few days

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] allansy:
This just started happening to me as well, getting stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 Logo." I did not have any issues before. I started using Ultimate ROM XXLSC last December 1st week and had no issues.

I tried to Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik but still stuck on boot.

I tried to Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik and was able to boot. Had to configure my phone again.

Just today after my screen started flickering, maybe due to battery, and it went off. I tried to turn it ON again but already stuck in boot.

I again did the Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik before I was able to boot it up again. Had to configure my phone again...

I tried to flash the Ultimate ROM XXLSC again but it automatically restarts at the middle of installation, and then gets stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note Logo...

This is annoying.. should I go back to ICS instead and wait for official release?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] angus_mcfisher:
I went back to stock is but I didn't enjoy it. Like you, I've tried everything I can think of and everything I've read. Even repartitioning via Odin but it still comes back. I'm wondering if it's maybe a flaw caused by flashing in Phil... But anyway...

Sometimes you can catch it if you don't leave it too long on the N7000 screen if you go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Failing that, I make sure I have Philz to flash, wipe everything, then flash my favourite rom, and then restore a backup. Maybe I'll grow tired of it :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] allansy:
You tried the re-partition via Odin but it still gets stuck? So I guess, I will just be back to ICS. I will give XXLS7 a shot, no issues so far there, tried to restart many times already but was able to successfully boot. Will configure my phone again. I don't want to go back to ICS...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] angus_mcfisher:
Thanks for the tip. If I have anymore problems I'll check out XXLS7.
