Before I suggest anything, is your bootloader unlocked?

I would suggest trying out cyanogenmod 7 (link below) first to get used to flashing a new rom. The installation steps are quite straightforward and you will have lots of fun (!!) flashing all the roms on offer.

Then you aren't unlocked. You should probably read the Atrix stickies to get up to date on everything and read the links members put up for you in this thread. If you still have trouble, I will be glad to help.

yeah now trying to unlock the boot--if any i"ll post here...thanks...

Remember to be very carefull when unlocking the bootloader, and flashing a rom for the first time, it can brick your phone. Good luck!

I'am also and noob, but this is what I did to instal CM7 Rom. Don't forget to back up your stuff.
Go through the instruction on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
Download from megaupload is not available, the alternate link is
http://www.mediafire.com/?x4m1ul78tzwsdmc
Follow the instruction.
After this download superuser from market and then root manager. Open root manager and select Flash ClockworkMod recovery, it will download CWM and CWM will be flashed. Open root manager again and select back up your current ROM, it will ask confirmation and then reboot and do its thing and again reboot. After that download the rom you want to flash and copy it to your internal SD card (don't unzip it, copy the zipped file). Go to the ROM manager and select Install rom from the SD card and select the rom you just copied. It will ask confirmation and then reboot and do its magic and you will have your ROM installed

Galaxy note BIG PROBLEM please help

Hi there
I am a total novice and foolishly attempted to root my galaxy note. i managed it, but the performance was really slow and i didnt know what i was doing. i think (or thought) i unrooted it and got rid of the CWM thing.
I have just tried to update firmware via KIES and it says "YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT SUPPORT SOFTWARE UPDATING VIA KIES"
What does this mean?
Does it mean i cannot receive any updates (including ICS when it finally arrives)?
Does it mean i have not put a stock ROM on (as i thought i had)?
Im totally clueless and am worried ive messed my note up
Please help a foolish novice

Dont be panicked, if u still rooted just flash ur stock rom again using mobile odin,and uncheck all ever root boxes if u dont want root any more
↖(^▽^)↗ Sent from Galaxy Note ↖(^▽^)↗

And if u want to keep root check them,and when the ics update come download ur ics stock rom from xda stock rom thread and flash using mobile odin again..

I'm pretty sure I'm not rooted anymore but think I may have the wrong firmware on my phone.
Will I be able to carry out these actions even though its unrooted?
Also when I download the stock ROM and unzip it with winrar, which specific file do I link to the pda in Odin?
Sorry for all the recreations but I don't get the language

Uk Stock ROM
Ok, so i downloaded the Stock UK ROM, extracted it with Winrar, and the following 3 files came from the main file
modem.bin
redbend_ua
zImage
should i have extracted the main file or just put it in Odin whole?
Cheers

Rom packages come in many flavour. As a guide to newbie, odin works with .tar files. So if you downloaded a .tar, there is no need to uncompress.
Anyway, as been repeated several times in this thread, if you read from ketan's tutorial, you should have not asked the question....

The reason why i will never flash a custom ROM on my SII

For some month's ago i had a Galaxy S Plus and i liked it, but i wanted to flash a custom ROM on it. So i updated it with Odin to the newest stock firmware, and i innstalled Clockworkmod so i could flash a custom ROM.
So i flashed the custom ROM (MoonRom) on it using AROMA innstaller and it went successfully. And i used the ROM for one day, and it was fast, and so on, and had a funny sound when u pressed on the dialer keypad, like a water drop sound
I liked the ROM, but i wanted it back to stock (warranty reasons) .So i put to phone into download mode and i used Odin + the pit file and flashed it back to stock firmware and wiped out and formatted everything on it using recovery mode.
And later i used the phone dialer, and the keypad sounds from the custom ROM was still there, after i reflashed it????
I was extremely confused i flashed a billion stock firmwares on there and that water drop sound when u tapped the dialer keypad was still there. I had formatted it and everything and it was still there after flashing back????
I know own a Galaxy S II, and i will never flash somethign custom on there i am afraid that if i do that and then reflash back. Something on the old rom will ble left.
After that i gave my mom the phone. And i was extremly confused...

Maybe the keypad sound is left on the sd card?

Strange, but I wouldn't give up Roms just because of a water drop sound. To each his own.

Agree with the guy above me. Stock, the phone has way too much bloatware.

So do you know any way to get the keypad sounds back??? And also the keyboard sounds are also left from the custom ROM.

If you flashed back using Odin then its impossible that the sounds remain.
I can make you a flash package that should enable the stock samsung sounds if you really want it? You just have to tell me what firmware you will be running i.e. Gingerbread or ICS?

Hello I sold the phone to my mom, and she dont want me to play around with her phone. But thanks for suggestion

Flashing roms, tinkering, working out issues and resolving them, making device better is what XDA is about and where the enjoyments is, If you dont like that or dont have the aptitude, patience to learn why are you even here or have a Android device?
My suggestion is to get a Nokia 3310 or an iPhone, Or at least do not come here and bore us with stories about why you dont want to flash your phone.

You didn't have superbrick probably soft brick wich its hell easy to fix about drivers you probably didn't even have them installed.. The port in Pc has nothing to do with unbricking.... And read hell lot more before you really damage your device you just got lucky

They did but not for the SM-S920L. There is still no rom including stock for this phone.

I'm not sure what that rom is. It was posted in the dev forum and op offered almost no details. All I know is that the file name is SM-S920L3.tar and it weighs in at 1.4GB.

In that case they must have put it up just recently. Things are starting to look up for us after all.

Maybe, I'm not going to be the guinea pig here and risk my phone on some unknown rom without a custom recovery available to backup and restore my phone should something go wrong.

Thanks, man! I'm having a few issues that I can live with with my phone, but if this works ok, I might just flash it. Oh, and I spoke with a few Straight Talk CS reps and they say that neither Tracfon, nor Samsung are going to release a stock ROM for 5.0.2. Perhaps some day we'll get an update to 5.1.1.

Ok so I it flashed in about 3 minutes for me with a pass. I noticed a set bit warranty: cache and system. I pulled the battery and then powered back on and got this:
