Bootloop while flashing JW4

Hey, I tried flashing JW4 stock rom via ODIN which I downloaded from sammobile.
The name of the file is I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip and on extracting there were 2 files called JW4_JW4_JW4.tar & SS_DL.dll. I selected the tar file in PDA and flashed. The process passed but am stuck with bootloop. Plz help

I also flashed a jw4. But that was without the dll.
Anyway, after i flashed and it booted up i got a doozen errors telling me it couldnt mount different partitions.
So i gave it up as a bad one and found a thread here at xda with different stock roms and ended up with jw5.
No complications whatsoever. Yet
just google for "stock roms i9000 xda" and you should stumble over the thread i believe.
Good luck

I faced exactly the same problem: bootloop after flashing XXJW4 and many mount errors in the screen. I concluded that this firmware is not standalone in the sense that you cannot flash and repartition the device using it. Following this logic I performed these steps, leading me to a successfully recovered and fully functional XXJW4 phone:
Flash it with a full stock firmware, e.g. XXJVU (mark "repartition" as well).
Flash XXJW4 as you have done it, but make sure "Repartition" is not selected. That is, just select the tar file in the PDA field and leave the rest with the default options.

Another huge problem Got Black Screen Of Death. Am able to get my phone on to download mode but odin is not detecting my phone. HELP ME What to do?

Use another USB port. You can flash deodex version of JW4 which doesn't have any problems

bootloops
Factory Reset / Cache Wipe /
use by the Pitfile from JW 1 and flash the JW 4 ,that`s it !!
LG.G.

Your PDA file might be missing the dbdata.rfs file, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24182099&highlight=dbdata#post24182099, which can cause boot loops.

How to Flash Official Android 4.0.4 On International Galaxy Note GT N7000

How to Flash Android 4.0.4 Firmware for Galaxy Note GT N7000
This Tutorial is Divided into 4 Parts:
1) People who are running Gingerbread who are not affected by the eMMC bug
2) People who are running IceCreamSandwich who dont have the eMMC bug
3) People who are running IceCreamSandwich who have the eMMC bug
4) People who are Running Gingerbread/Icecreamsandwich and have the Android 4.0.4 released for their region.(Currently Only Germany, Malasia, Singapore and South Africa)
Please Find Your Respective Section in the tutorial below!
For Current Gingerbread Users
Since Gingerbread is safe from the eMMC superbrick bug, you can directly go ahead and do a complete factory reset/wipe and clear cashe either from settings>privacy>factory reset OR via stock recovery. After the factory reset/wipe, you need to download the "zip" file from here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html
After the download is complete, open the zip file using WINRAR and you will see two files:
• A “.md5” file
• A “.dll” file
Unextract both to folder/desktop. Now you need to download ODIN and samsung drivers if you do not have them. For ODIN just download from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
For drivers just download & install the samsung kies from here:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
After installing Kies you will have the drivers installed.(you may need restart for drivers to work) Then you will need to put your phone in download mode(Volume Down + Home + Power Button) and then press volume up to continue to enter the download mode. Then connect your Galaxy Note to PC using MicroUSB cable and open ODIN. In ODIN make sure that the box has turned yellow for this to work. If it does not then there is problem with the drives. You then need to select the PDA button and navigate to the ".md5" file that you unextracted and select it. Make sure only "Auto Reboot" & "F. Reset Time" are checked and then you can hit the start button. It should then start flashing. After flashing is done a box should turn green and the phone will automatically reboot. Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.
For Current IceCreamSandwich(4.0.3) Users who DON’T have eMMC brickbug
First please check whether your device has the eMMC brick bug via chainfires app called “GotBrick?” If your device does not have the brick bug then simply factory reset it via settings and then you can download the Android download the "zip" file from here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html

Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.
For Current IceCreamSandwich(4.0.3) Users who have eMMC brickbug
First please check whether your device has the eMMC brick bug via chainfires app called “GotBrick?” If your device has the brick bug then you cannot do a factory reset and directly install the new 4.0.4 firmware. You will first need to downgrade to a Gingerbread Firmware, then do a complete factory reset/wipe and clear cashe and then reflash the Android 4.0.4 firmware. So the first thing you need to do is download the Gingerbread Firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-N7000&r=1#regiona
(You will need to signup to download)
For Samsung Kies with drivers:
http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
For ODIN:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/09glpz0zg7c2dpo/Odin3 v1.83.exe
After you have downloaded the zip file, unextract it and then flash the “.md5” in the PDA section of ODIN.
After flash you will have Gingerbread. In Gingerbread you have to do a wipe & clear cashe from the stock recovery(Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button). After the wipe, you need to download the Android 4.0.4 Firmware from here:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162875101/447fb8f/N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT.zip.html

Flashing usually takes upto 10-15 mins.
People who are Running Gingerbread/Icecreamsandwich and have the Android 4.0.4 released for their region
For all users who have the Android 4.0.4 Firmware update released for their region (14/07/12 - Germany, Singapore and Malasia) can also use OTA , via Samsung Kies to update their phones. Just go into the settings>About Phone>Software Update to check for the update OR another method is to connect your Galaxy Note to the PC. Open Samsung Kies and check for the firmware update. If the update is available it should automatically ask you if you want to update. Confirm the update and it will do the flash automaticly and keep all your data as well.

Why wipe at all when upgrading form stock f/w?
I updated my Note from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 (to speedmod K3-7 via CWM) to 4.0.4 all without a single wipe. Didn't experience any problems.

Very good initiative from you as I'm sure many NEW users will find it useful! Maybe you could also add the definition of the EMMC bug on the 1st line to explain it to them.

hey man from the post there i see that you have the cm9 kernel installed over the stock Gingerbread ROM(Correct me if im wrong)!
So as far as i know you will fall under the first category because the eMMC_ERASE function has been disabled in the cm9 knightlies kernel. But just download chainfires app called "gotbrick?" to check if you have the bug. If you dont have the bug thenyou can do a wipe from any ROM/kernel and directly flash the new firmware.
And yes you will get SNote and the Touchwiz with the new firmware preinstalled.

Thnx for reply. I am not too experienced, but i think yes, i have CM9 installed over stock GB. So i am runing ICS, but first category goes for GB, does it realy is my case? I have checked gotbrick app and it said that i have that nasty bug. But i have still done some factory resets and wipes and so far so good, as i understand that because of safe kernel. So i am still in danger but in kernel the use of mmc has been disabled, if i follow the guide isnt the 3d category safer? Because its careful about brickbug?

sorry I'm wrong post

thats kinda wierd man! performance seems to have improved for me. cant really say if something went wrong!!! but if you want to go back to your 4.0.3 firmware then you can easily flash the 4.0.3 firmware via ODIN. To get the 4.0.3 fimrmware goto: www.samfirmware.com>firmwares>smartphones>android>GT N7000>(ur region)> and download the firmware for your region/country.
After download just unextract the .md5 file and flash via ODIN.

Does it have the same interface as Samsung Galaxy SIII ICS 4.0.4? I have done the upgrade but not much features change except the pop-up play..thats all .What a letdown!

[Q] How To Make Samsung Galaxy Core 2 (SM-G355H) Good As New?

Hi! How do I make my device good as new like I just recently bought it? I am not just telling about hard reset. I mean EVERYTHING will be good as new, no records of roots or binary counters, restored to original stock firmware, whatever they are, I have no idea, ahahaha . I just want to know how to make it GOOD AS NEW just in case something went wrong with my device. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
In order to restore everything on your device as good as new, you must download the original stock firmware along with the pit file (if needed). You can obtain the firmware via either Sammobile or Samsung Updates. Don't forget to check your phone model before downloading. After downloaded, reboot your phone to Download mode then extract and flash the firmware via ODIN on AP. After the stock firmware installed, reboot to Recovery mode and select both Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache partition.
Hope this helps.

Is the firmware downloaded from sammobile safe? Can you teach me or give me a link how to use odin and will it conflict kies in my computer? Also, will these methods erase binary counters like triangle away?

Hi,
Sammobile requires you to register at their site, but it's safe and also fast to download. Besides the firmware and ODIN, you need the USB Drivers installed and Debugging mode to be enabled (by tapping Build number 7 times on Settings -> About device).
Files to download:
ODIN -> Click here
USB Drivers -> Technical Documentation | SAMSUNG Developers
After you obtain the firmware and ODIN, here is the step to use ODIN to flash firmware:
Extract the firmware and ODIN to anywhere you know.
Open ODIN, click AP button, and choose the firmware (in .tar.md5 format).
Hit start.
Firmware flash will take about 5-10 minutes. Don't unplug the USB cable or you will hard brick your phone.
After you see green RESET! or PASS, unplug USB cable from your phone and wait until recovery installs all files.
Don't forget to reboot to Recovery mode and choose both Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache partition.
After installing the stock firmware back, it's safe to update or connecting your device via Kies as long as your stock firmware is not modified (either by rooting or something else). And on your last question. Do you mean that this method will erase flash binary counters? If yes, probably not.
As a additional note, download the version that match your region code. So doing a backup of EFS partition is strongly recommended!
Hope this helps.

My phone is stuck in downloading mode after installing TWRP

Hi everyone,
Sorry to bother you with this. I recently purchased a Samsung Note 4 (less than a month ago). I successfully rooted it and it worked fine. But today I was incredibly stupid and I tried to install TWRP on my phone. I followed the instructions on this site (which I can't link because I am a new user) and tried to install TWRP using flashify. However, something went wrong and now when I reboot my phone it goes into downloading mode with a green android and text that says "Downloading.. Do not turn off target".
Now every time I reboot it goes into this. I googled this and I tried
1. to click cancel on the download
Does not work, goes to green android screen anyways
2. to go into recovery mode
Does not work, goes to green android screen anyways
I cannot perform a factory reset because I cannot go into recovery mode. I don't know what to do. Is there any software from the PC that would allow me to reset my phone? Of course it would be ideal if I can get it working without resetting it but at this time I just want the phone to work...
If I take my phone to someone, will they be able to fix it? Please help.

Download Odin and the TWRP .tar file.
In Odin, click the AP button and select the TWRP .tar file. Then just flash it that way and it should work just fine.
If that doesn't work, download a full stock ROM from either Sammobile or one of the mirrors here and flash it the same way using Odin. The stock ROM is probably a .tar.md5 file. Don't extract it further and just select this file in Odin.
You might have to install the Samsung USB drivers for Odin to work.

Download Odin and the TWRP .tar file.
In Odin, click the AP button and select the TWRP .tar file. Then just flash it that way and it should work just fine.

Thank you. If I knew I could have just flashed TWRP in with Odin earlier, I would not have gone through all the trouble. Unfortunately, the method I chose made my phone stuck in downloading mode.
I downloaded the stock ROM and used Odin to install it. I was able to get out of download mode that way but then my phone got stuck in an endless reboot loop. But at that point I was able to access recovery mode again so I just gave my phone a factory reset. It works again now. (Hooray!!)
If I every do try to flash TWRP in again, do you know which version I should use?

Just use the newest one on the official TWRP website.

AryaMod ROM help

Hello, want to download this ROM, but I'm a bit confused because I always flash the new roms manually using a cwm recovery only. I'm not an expert in these tar md5 files.. Anyways im running a stock lollipop N9005XXUENC2 and my question is can I flash AryaMod using the cwm only and without downloading the 2 tar files the developer mentioned in the main thread? If not, can you tell me exactly what I should do using Odin? Thanks..

here you go!

the thing is,
1. Make all necessary backups, install ODIN and Samsung drivers in PC, also download the necessary files (BL, CP and ROM).
2. remove battery and insert after 10 secs.
3. Directly boot into Download Mode via key combo (after getting into Download Mode, Open ODIN and also connect phone to PC).
[download both files, select "BL tar file" in BL and "CP tar file" in CP in ODIN]
4. Flash the BL and CP from OP via ODIN (after selecting two files, click Start, it will automatically restart and it will show Success)
5. Now after the phone is ON (Success message), disconnect from PC and enter Recovery Mode and flash ROM.zip
6. Select your Options in Aroma and enjoy.
The Dev recommended to use TWRP and also I had TWRP from start. You can check in the ROM thread whether anyone is doing this via CWM.
Good luck.
