[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gautam129:
Phone freezes at startup after flashing

Dear friends,

Could you please help me urgently. I have a Note 1 with Android Jellybean official update until recently. Since it doesn't gets official update anymore, I decided to check if it can be updated through other means and came across this site/thread.

At first I couldn't understand anything, but after reading lots of posts and going through everything in detail, I finally did the following:

1) Downloaded the "Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.1-20150714-n7000.zip" ROM (since many felt it the most stable among the latest versions), also downloaded Gapps and relevant version of Philz.

2) Installed Philz which obviously rooted my phone and then using recovery mode, took a backup of my phone

3) Did a format and Then flashed the above ROM and Gapps and rebooted.

4) Everything seemed okay and my phone started properly. Great to see Lollipop on my phone and installed all the apps. While installing, Playstore crashed a few times but everything else seemed okay. But battery drained quite fast during the later stages.

5) Switched off my phone and charged to 100% and retarted.

6) It freezes showing the starting screen of GT N7000 and never starts, tried a few more times removing battery and restarting again and no success.

7) Did a search on google and somewhere read about some "Dalvik cache cleaning" to solve the problem, did that - now phone reaches the next stage i.e. shows the resurrection logo and keeps on showing it. Agaian removed battery and tried a few times, but same thing.

Now can you please help me if any solution available and if not, how to get back or restore my phone. I mean since I took a backup, I can restore it but is there any other process to remember while restoring like cleaning cache or factory reset, will my phone be restored completely to its previous state? Please help urgently as cant use my phone and hence cant receive any calls :(
