]I know this is a wide issue on many devices, but i could not find one for the Galaxy Note.
So here it is (and sorry if the answer is allready out there):
i roomed my phone, before i even knew what i was doing. I started the phone, and everything went nice. And then i tried to update the OS without using rooting, which appairently did not work. So i factory reset my Note, and it got stuck on bootscreen (the samsung logo). I have figured out (or atleast i thing) that the OS is missing, or something like that. So i downloaded it from a forum page here on XDA. The thing is i can't figure out how to put it on the phone. I tryed using ODIN. Any clue of an easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance

Solved:
After 2 hours of searching the internett, i finally figured out how to return to the basic firmware. I downloaded a stock firmware for the Galaxy Note, and followd a good tutorial on how to install it using Odin. Thanks to whoever wrote it:

Last night i tried installing Clockwork Recovery on my Tab (it's a US T-Mobile model). I got an error message in ADB, but i thought i had worked through the issues. Then i installed Rom Manager and tried to make a backup through Rom Manager. It rebooted my Tab, but it never made it to Recovery; it froze on the white T-Mobile screen. At this point, i can reboot, but it always gets stuck on the white T-Mobile screen. If i hold down volume-down and power, i get into download mode, and if i hold down both volume-up and volume-down with power i get some text (sorry, can't remember specifics b/c i'm at work w/o my Tab).
I'm not a total Android noob, but i am new to Samsung (i've had a Droid and a Droid X, and i am very familiar with SBF-ing Mototorla android devices... i assumed that Samsung devices used something similar but i guess i was wrong). I feel that since i can get into download-mode, i should be able to re-flash the stock firmware and resurrect my Tab, but i'm not familiar enough with Odin (which i gather is what i'll need to use) to know HOW to do this, let alone where to get the correct version of Odin. I have found a file on these forums: T-Mobile.zip, which i think is what i'll need to flash, but again, i don't know how to do it.
I'd appreciate if someone would take pity on me and help me through my problems!

Looks like i figured it out myself. Thanks to anyone who was contemplating a reply

What was the fix?
Just out of curiosity, how did you resolve it?
As i said in my original post, i had found a T-Mobile.zip file on these forums. I originally tried using Odin to flash it to my Tab without success. Then, while scouring the web for answers, i found a blog post where someone flashed that same file to his semi-bricked Tab and it worked. The video showed the version number of Odin (1.7), which was different than the version i had tried using. Sooooo, i found v1.7 online, downloaded it, and used the PDA option to flash T-Mobile.zip to my Tab... and it WORKED!
I did have a lot of force quits of my apps after rebooting, and the guy on the blog said that if this happened, to do a factory data rest. So, success AND now i know how to flash back to stock which is even better! I hope this info is useful to others who get themselves into the situation i got myself into.

I got my I5800 today, and knew about 2.2 and wanted to upgrade. I followed the guide, downloaded odin, ops files, all that. The process seemed to go well, it rebooted and then stayed at the "Samsung" screen and I waited over 20 minutes and nothing..
Now my phone doesn't work.. Doesn't go past the SAMSUNG screen...
Someone please help, I'm at noob with androids :/
Edit: Reverted back to the firmware version I wrote down that it had, and tried again and it worked
You don't need to start a new thread to report this...
Read This at first:
RTFM
Later you RTFM, you just can use the "Search" tool to find solutions...
If you don't do this, you are not able to flash/restore or do anything in advance. You just need to be a simple user...
Its like to buying a new TV or Microwave oven, at first you RTFM to power on later...
Please, just read!
I decided to go ahead with the TW firmware upgrade. Everything seemed to be going fine until I tried to install it and it told me there was an error and I needed to hook it up to Kies first. I had already been using Kies with it on my Macbook for a couple weeks now so I went ahead and plugged it in. Kies recognized it as usual and all the information came up.
So I went on and tried to install again and it said it needed to reboot.
It reboots and comes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen like normal (right before it starts the galaxy animation). Next thing I know it comes to a screen that looks like the attached images! I immediately unplugged it from Kies and shut it down. Every time I start it back up it does the same thing. I honestly have NO idea what to do. I can't even return it as it's past the 14 day period and I (stupidly) didn't buy Staples' bogus $160 insurance.
I was not rooted before. This was a stock tab that I bought at staples. It had the firmware 4.24 when I bought it, I think.
Please, any help is appreciated. I tried doing firmware recovery in Kies but the pop up comes up in Korean and I have no idea what it says...
Edit: More info. I'm not the only one with this problem. Two other people have posted on AndroidPolice about this. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/08/04/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-wifi-touchwiz-ux-update-is-now-live/
The software is definitely running underneath all that mess but it's literally impossible to see what is going or to touch anything.
I guess this thread is about the same issue

So I need to follow all the steps for rooting except the last one which is the actual rooting? Great thanx! Do I need to use Kies? My current computer is Mac but I guess I need to download those things to a Windows machine to make it work, right?
Thank you very much
I had the same problem. I upgraded the update on my non-rooted tablet and got the funked up video mess. Per instructions from Samsung support, I hard booted to the recovery menu (power+vol down, then power up, down on download screen) and did the factory wipe. After that I ended up with the black screen. I could tell things were working in the back but couldnt see a thing. I figured I would throw it on the Kies and it saw that there was a factory upgrade so I let the Kies run through it and it works fine now.
Dont know if this will help w/other but it worked for me.
Dear Forum,
Today I did the firmware update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. When that succeeded I decided it was time to install a custom ROM; CM7.
The rooting part actually succeeded. When I tried to install the ROM, I am guessing something failed.
Now the boot screen is stuck and it will only hang at the screen which has the yellow triangle and the text "Samsung Galaxy SII"
I tried going into CWM and restore my back up but it states that no files have been found. Does anyone know how I can sorta restore my phone? Which will make me get past the boot screen. I dont even want my old files and such, just want me phone working again
Kind Regards,
Me
1. This is a question, should be in Q&A
2. There's million on topics with the exact same thing, search a little before posting!
3. Flash CM7 again.. If that doesn't work, you can flash a new ROM with Odin..
Hello all!
First of all i want to thank this site (and the people behind it) that makes everything android possible.
I feel privileged to be a member of this forum specially on rough times like what i am facing right now.
I rooted my Galaxy A8-A800i the other day and everything went great. I followed the instructions that i found here. Unfortunately, yesterday i turned off the OEM Unlock on my phone. Now, as the thread title says it. it is stuck on the Logo Screen with the annoying " Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock ". i read a guide that ashyx made and i felt stupid. I didn't know that turning the OEM Unlock will do that to my Phone.
Right now, I am digging deep on this forums to try and revive my phone that is currently in Brick state.
i am downloading a firmware from sammobile for my phone, the problem i have is... i don't know how to use it. I don't know much about my phone but I do want to learn a lot and i know that this is the right place. I would like to ask assistance on how to use the firmware that I am downloading right now, and also, can i make the Knox Counter go "0" again?
Thanks for everything guys. I highly appreciate everything i've learned here so far.
EDIT: Sorry this post wasn't supposed to be here. Please delete it. i moved it to Troubleshooting.
