Soft bricked and clueless please someone!

Hey i've soft bricked my n7000..
basically i just need to know what exactly to do now, kernels etc
ideally id like to be running Midnote 3.3
anyone kind enough to reply with help would be seriously appreciated!

Maybe if you gave some more information on what how when and why ?
Nobody can help you on a 'hey i lost my car can someone tell me where on this planet i parked this morning?'

Agree on above poster. We need to know what rom uou were flashing from, by what method, and the issue now.

Fair enough was thinking there was a straight forward fix, as in just flash this and do this etc..
i was running Midnote 2.1, i was on LP1 and tried to flash Midnote 3.3 using CWM.. it wasn't flashing as i couldn't see the .zip rom at all..
i then done a few factory wipes and basically just wiped the davlik and cache and tried any options in CWM

The issue now is that when i boot im stuck at the samsung splash screen..
I can boot into recovery and into cwm..

And what exactly happends now ?
dead black screen ?
Samsung logo blocked ?
PC odin doesn't connect ?
Can you enter CWM recovery ?
Can you enter boot recovery ?
I think you better try and flash a safe GB kernel and rom first
Then do a full wipe, then flash whatever you like.
You can best flash through PC odin for the stock GB

Stuck at Samsung logo
Can enter CWM and recovery, odin works as far as i can tell

I would suggest trying to flash a stock gb rom via pc odin. If you get stuck at the factory.fs stage you may well be superbricked because of the cwm recoveries and wipes on lpy.
There are a few threads on sorting out a problematic emmc section. But we'll get to that afyer youve tried this.

Thank you, I don't mean to be an effort but you hardly know where I can get a safe GB kernel and rom? i just want to be sure as im getting kind of worried now

Check out dr ketans thread in the stickies of d3velopment section. Theres loaf of info there. Its pretty straight forward if you flash initially to an older rom for your region. Take a look itll make sense promise.

Doesn't really matter, go ahead and choose what you like.

Lads i seriously appreciate this.. if i get my note back up n running i'll be delighted!
so if when i flash this stock gb rom using Odin i don't need a kernel at all right?
again these must be frustrating questions but your really helping me out here

No, you just place the .tar file in Odin in the PDA section.

nope you dont need a kernel when flashing stock GB rom
but 1st keep ur fingers crossed and pray that you get through the ODIN installation method
copy the GB rom file in ODIN folder and open ODIN and click on PDA and select the downloaded GB ROM file and press START

You legends! the stock gb rom worked perfect...
now comes the slightly trickier part.. loading the Midnote 3.3 rom
anyone using this rom? 2.1 was great!
whats the safest way to flash this, kernel wise etc?
thanks again lads

also, now that im back on the stock gb rom.. do i need to root again????
i tried getting into cwm and it brought me into android recovery mode ( still had install zip from sd option)

Yes, you will need to root it if you didn't flash a GB pre-rooted ROM.
And I think the CWM.zip file is on drketan's thread.

Guys im running midnote rom fine BUT it keeps vibrating every 5-8 seconds........................
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.. any ideas!???

No, no need for pit. Pit should only be used as a last resort. A lot can go wrong when flashing a pit file.

Please guide me
Guys I recently updated my SGN to ICS when I saw the update OTA. But ever since then my note is draining the battery like anything. I see a lot of threads and topics everywhere which is very confusing.
Basically I am planning to go back to GB which was stable.
I never rooted my cell simply using it the way it came from Samsung so please let me know how to do it as I have no idea about kernels and everything.
I am attaching the screenshot of my SGN's phone details please check and guide me what do I do.
Hope someone will help me soon.

Thanks for your quick reply but I need a little more information buddy.
My PDA version is N7000XXLPY and CSC is N7000OXALPY so where can I find the GB rom for this? I saw Dr. Ketan's thread but couldn't find anything matching except ICS so please help.

That's not your csc. Csc is 3 letters such as xeu for uk. You can check your csc by typing the following into the dialpad:
*272*emeicode*# where emei code is obtainable via *#06# in dialer
When you have it go to Dr K's thread and download the latest gb for that csc. If there isn't one available there is an alternative, but try that first.

You're specific code is dbt, you have a multi csc installed which means you are able to select alternatives if desired, but best to stick with dbt

Need for help guys
First of all a big thanks to all the helpful members of the XDA
Secondly I need more help from you guys.
As I posted earlier I want to go back to GB from ICS as I see LPY kernels are not safe plus ICS draining my battery.
My phone details
Baseband version:
N7000XXLPT
Kernel version:
3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
[email protected] #3
SMP PREEMPT Fri May 4 04:49:06 KST 2012
Build number:
IML74K.XXLPY
CSC : DBT (my SGN happens to have multi-csc)
I don't even have a backup of my GB rom so cannot simply go back on my own so need your help.
Now the thing is as suggested by SpyderTracks I went to Dr. Ketan's thread but there are so many options which is really confusing me.
I searched there for GB rom matching my Phone's PDA and CSC but couldn't find anything except for ICS rom. So now can someone please suggest me what GB rom should I flash? If possible please share the links and steps here only please.:crying:
Also if I can root it later on.
Sorry if its bothering you pals but what to do I am helpless.

The lpy description in your pda relates to kernel version which is ics. If you look through Dr K's thread you'll see the roms are listed by kernel version and csc. The kernel version will obviously be different for gb such as kka (which is directly rootable). Also the gb roms are listed as directly rootable and not directly rootable.
So you can select any gb rom for dbt csc in the directly rootable section, stick it in the pda section of pc odin, and flash. It's easier than it sounds, just take your time with it. When it's flashed its worth rebooting into recovery (vol up, power, home) and do a full wipe.
Alternatively, a very kind soul packaged up some pre- rooted roms link here:

If wipping didn't work. Maybe you should go back to stock.
Then you can try Hyperion again or maybe another rom. Search the Doky73's stock firmware collection thread to get an Odin flashable stock rom for your device.
Good luck :good:

If you got stuck on logo, just flash your phone to stock ROM using Odin, you can use search feature and write on there, at GT-S5360 dev forum for file stockrom and other tools
And if you want to using custom rom again, read first about changelog at page customROM before you flashing

It's because of your baseband
remove your simm card and see if it boots
if so change to a compatible baseband (flash a different stock rom firmware via odin)
there is also a cm7 help thread with all this kinda stuff
