Stuck at "Samsung" boot screen after ICS update and Root - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hello all,
I successfully flashed the official ICS update and tried to root via Odin. Now my Note wont boot up past the "Samsung" boot screen. Apparently, I flashed a kernel meant for a Gingerbread build. Is there an ICS root kernel yet? If not, how do I reset what Ive done? Thanks :crying:

you might have to re-flash...
what most and I have found works....is odin the touch cwm....then flash the super user for root...
I did this and it worked great.
Bottomline you may have re-flash the Offic ICS then perform the above, btw the links you will need are locted in "My Links" in my signature (red) go to the GNote page and look for the touch CWM then put the super user flash zip file and flash that...you will have root on your Offic ICS...kk

Can I get your link for the super user and CWM touch a buddy of mine want his root back on his note and can u brake it down in instructions on how to do this method? I really appreciate that if you can.I haven't been on Samsung device in a while so I wouldn't know what I am doing again on that part for the note.

get samsung drivers on my page, intall them on your pc/computer.

From CWM OP:
Download the odin "file">>>>2012-04-14 (odin) off the above link and the "odin program" see attached on this post.
Take the attached odin program on this post of mine...put in a folder...upzip and put this (odin file that is on the link above in the same folder)
How to install:
Odin (this will increase the flash counter)
- put your phone into download mode >>>>>>hold the volume down and power button....then once you get the download info volume up like it says...you will see the green android...you are in download mode, plug in your phone open odin program
- in odin program choose pda, and select the .tar.md5 file (that you put in the odin folder) and flash/ hit start button....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581185
Then once you have CWM, download this file super user from above and put on your phones internal sd and flash it, to get into CWM, but first put file on the phone inter sd....power off phone...completely.
Hold the volume buttons and power buttons all at the same time....when you see the samsung logo let go of the power button only...keeping both volumes button down...then you will see blue cmw...just go to the intern sd find your super user file flash it...since this touch cwm you can touch the sceen and use the soft keys on the phone, ...the back button...after flash, just reboot..and you have root.

Mr. Joe you should just copy-paste these instructions and make a stickie. I think this is the 500th time I've seen it explained.

Root question Follow-up
bigjoe2675,
Thanks for all your help. After I failed to flash back to Gengerbread, I brought it back to AT&T and had it exchanged for a new phone.I have since upgraded to ICS and everything is running fine.
I would like to root it "correctly" this time and am trying to figure out where I should pick up from your instructions. Should I simple flash the .tar.md5 file and and use superflash? I guess Im confused as to what superflash does.
Thanks

Hi guys, i have the same issue. I tried to root my bell galaxy i717 with the pda file. Everything went well until i got stuck in samsung logo. I tried some other files , like touch cwm tar but nothing change. Is there anyone who can give me a big help.
Anything!

I'm trying to fix a friend's note(sgh-i717r) and it won't boot into recovery. When pressing the button combo, it just keeps vibrating and when I let go its stuck on the samsung logo. All I can do with it is go into download mode and connect with odin. How can I get to at least boot so he can actually use the phone?

[Q] Flashing ROM

Okay so Im trying to flash a rom, I have rooted it with super one click method. Im trying to flash a rom.
Usually in all the other phones that I have rooted and flashed sensation mt4g g2 g2x you root it then simply move on to CWM then you flash a recovery. It seems like the recovery isnt sticking..
I have looked for guides on how to flash. But a lot of them say there outdated.
Any ways if someone could give me a clue and point me in the right direction that would be lovely thanks!

you need to odin a stock modified kernal.tar in order to get cwm to stick. Here it is:

If you need odin and samsung drivers, there in my guide here:

Remember to only put the file in the PDA function of odin...
Okay thanks very much this odin thing is very different from what I'm used to.
Am I going to extract these files? obviously not drivers, but Odin files I extracted. Am I going to extract the kernal.tar?
I'm trying to install Miui its 2.3.4 so im guessing that other guide is the right one can someone confirm that this is safe?

Yes use that guide
Someone Please please please help. This is my girlfriends phone i finally talked her into letting me root/flash it. Its not going right!!!!
Okay so im following that guide I got to step 4, it said boot up normally. It wouldnt boot up so I kept going.
Got to step 7 and this is what happens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwQMaQD2x7w
When I first open Clock work it says
E:Cant mount cache/recovery/command
E:Cant mount cache/recovery/Log
E:Cant open cache/recovery/Log
E:Cant mount cache/recovery/Last Log
E:Cant open cache/recovery/Last Log
Someone Please Please help.
edit: your not following the directions clearly... The problem is you continued past step 4 without letting your phone boot up. If you dont follow directions to a T you will brick your phone.
Okay, listen carefully. Go to jt1134's CM7 thread in fascinate development section. Go to the first page, scroll down until you see CWM fixed for CM7, download it. Use Odin to flash full stock ED05 with atlas 2.2 pit file, check the box for repartition, then hit start. Boot up, then power down and take battery out. Flash the CWM fixed for cm7 in Odin, unplug from computer, put battery back in, then (this is important!) hold both volume buttons and the power button until you see Samsung logo, then release. You will then be in the right recovery to flash any MTD ROM. Wipe all three, flash ROM, reboot. Also go to stickies in fascinate development, read "Going from Vanilla GB to anything else" thread. It will give you more details and is properly updated. Good luck!
~~~~There is no spoon~~~~
So where do you suggest I start to get thus thing at least back to stock?
sorry didnt see ya posted there. K I will Give that a shot seriously thank you.

all that info is in the link i provided for him
here is the going back to stock section in that link I provided.
* How to get back to stock after flashing any rom, follow these steps:
Step 1: Download this stock ed05 rom package by pentafive to your pc. you will need to unzip with 7zip or winrar, http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...144787558901&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13175749481381
Step 2: power off phone and pull battery
Step 3: open odin on your computer
Step 4: plug in factory usb cable and hold the volume down button. Yellow
triangle should appear saying "download mode"
Step 5: click on PDA in odin and find the vzw_official ed05.tar file(rom) you downloaded to your computer in step 1
Step 6: click on PIT in Odin and select the atlas 2.2 pit, it's in the file you downloaded in step 1
Step 7: click start and wait 5min, box in left hand corner of odin will say PASS, then click reset.
Step 8: unplug usb cable, put battery back in and boot phone.
You are now back to stock ed05.(verizon's latest release for the Fascinate)

When you mean boot up, what do you mean like start it normally? The last guide said that and it wouldnt boot up.
Also Is this it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190668?
That Link you gave me when I click on it. I only get "Parameter 'out' is required." bad link?
you can go back to original link on my first post and get everything there lol, but being the nice guy I am I went ahead and fixed the link.
Alright. So I got followed your guide and got cwm installed. I made a nandroid. I wiped everthing and flashed MIUI It booted up and runs. So im on step 8 on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212239
When I try and install a app it says insufficient storage on device.
Is this because I didnt install ec09-modem.tar.md5 and GBBootloaders.tar?
I know that im not going to need to install Gaps. But I want to make sure these things ^^ up there are the right things for my rom.
I went ahead and risked it haha. It worked. Okay so now.. It says that I dont have root. Would I be okay to use the superone click method again to root it?

power off and pull battery, get back to dl mode, open odin and install the eco9 modem and gb bootloaders. reboot and see if everything is working. If you still dont have root and you may not, follow what directions below.
- superoneclick wont work.
-push this file below to you sd card
- long press the power button and select recovery(do not three finger into recovery once your on a mtd rom)
- install zip from sd like you did the rom.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25089906/su-2.3.6.1.x.zip
-you should now have root
Okay Ill do that THANKS SOOOOO MUCH!!
Is Clock work going to stick? Do I need to install rom manager and flash the newest one?
I tried to go into CMW through long press home and click recovery. It says Multiple packages tries to request sytem root permission wich is disabled by default to ensure system security. If you need to enable it, please go to setting in super user.

The kernal is already modified to allow cwm to stick and you should already have the latest kernal with the version of miui that you flashed. Im not a fan of rom manager, but thats just my opinion. Fwiw the only other kernal I would mess with is the glitch kernal. That has to be installed via odin. go into the dev section and look up the glitch kernal thread and read up on it. But before you do any of that, just get the phone up and running for a day, then go from there.
Yeah haha I just need to get root so I can back up her stuff.
But its not letting me get into recovery because it says that I dont have root. How am i supposed to get into it?

If it won't let u get into cwm by long pressing power button then power phone off and try three finger into recovery(not suppose to do that with a mtd rom tho). Your only other option I know of is:
-odin back to stock
- boot up once then power off
-odin cwmall.tar from my guide
-three finger boot into recovery
-install root.zip from post 14
-reboot then power off
-odin cwm4
-three finger boot into recovery
-install miui.zip from sd
-reboot
-follow directions from step 8 on in the vanilla guide.

Then you will have your phone rooted through the kernel and the necessary CWM (recovery) installed - !
After that dl your chosen rom + kernel and reboot into recovery flash rom zip file then kernel zip, reboot and voila welcome to JB 4.1.2
And since you are a newbie (we all were once) i suggest you dont flash through odin/heimdal but only through CWM until you get more experience overall !!
Then you will be ok :laugh:

Hi all ok ask away
Yes first clockwork recovery first then boot into cwm (clockwork)then what rom you choose - and i should think its pretty similar to what ever recovery's you've seen, at least in Principe of how it get things done!
You can boot from os to cwm through rooted kernels, by holding power button and choose reboot, that will give you two options to reboot or into recovery (no need for the combo buttons)
Edit: in CWM there´s a menu and one option is install zip from sd card (nternal/external) and then you browse through your sd with volumebutton (or in the new CWM you'll get when flashing a JB kernel a touch recovery - awesome by the way )

see the problem I have is I cant do what the steps describe as it requires I turn on my phone and see what build it has, and copy zip files to internal storage....so only option I have I think is odin

Ohh yes this way wont do then - you have to get a stock sammyrom with a pit,md5 or sometimes called tar file and make sure you tick repartition in odin before flash - then you will have a working OS and can do the above steps!

Download the file that is located on this link: /docs.google.com/uc?id=0B-4vmAHRoMi-TGlrellrTi1SWXM&export=download
Put your phone in download mode
Connect to Odin
Load the tar file under PDA
and let it do its magic. This will put you back to FULL stock unrooted but will not fix the knox 0x1. Hope it helps.

In the Troubleshooting forum, type in "brick" in the search field. It is hard for me to provide you the links as I am on a restricted account. Throughout those posts you will have to do a lot of digging because when I bricked my Note 3 it took me a few hours to finally find the full .tar for MJ4. Sorry I can't be more help, but if I come across anything else I will def. let you know. Keep me updated if you find the full .tar or not.

Or that ^^ but try the kernel download from this link for the original tar file: ://samsung-updates.com/details/15741/Galaxy_Note_3_Sprint/SM-N900P/SPR/N900PVPUBMJ4.html
fix the link and add http at the beginning.
The problem is finding the stock rom or file for odin so I can get everything back to when I first got it...

Go to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522638 then download Odin 1.85 which is linked later in that thread. Then:
1. Turn off phone
2. Press power home and volume down. When prompted press volume up to get into download mode.
3. Start Odin put the tar in the PDA slot.
4. Plug phone in.
5. When Odin sees the phone press start.

You do know that jellybomb is now on the note 3 ands everything works and what Does not work we have a question and Answer thread just for jellybomb and I am running jellybomb rite now and everything works that you mention did not work. . Sure I had to pull apps from the stock rom and replaced a few apps.. But I got every app to work. . And I'm not even on the latest jellybomb I'm on version 2 beta 3.. So I think we everything was fixed in beta version 6.. it's a great rom with a great deal of support.. As I said jellybomb has its own thread for questions and help. .

Where do you get the latest romantic update for jelly bomb ? I'm still a noob when it comes to rooting and rims so I don't know how to do everything I just use the rim and hope everything works...

Make sure you do a backup in twrp before you start flashing roms again. That way if it isn't what you wanted you can just do a nandroid restore and fix it in a few minutes. It's always a good idea to have a few fully functional backups on your phone in case you have any issues.

[Q] Used p4vzw/sch-i905 cannot be modified

I received this verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 as a gift and a project, but haven't been able to make any progress.
The tablet was bought from a taxi company that used it was in car entertainment. When booted, an app immediately starts up and removes the navigation bar. If you are fast enough, you can get to the settings and uninstall this app before it starts, or what I have found to be easier, just use shell commands to hit home and uninstall while the app tries to regain control.
The table is currently running 3.2, and cannot update over wifi, nothing happens.
Root was gained by an unknown method, but the SU app won't open up. I can access su through the shell however.
I have tried flashing a cwm recovery through ODIN which says is successful but if it is booted straight to the recovery it is still stock.
Flashing ROM's through ODIN appear to be successful, but just boots right back to the original rom and recovery.
Adding anything to the SD card or anywhere else accessable to the stock recovery does not work either because the SD card is reformatted to the original contents every time.
This also occurs with any apps that are installed, each one is removed when rebooted except for SU. And Rom Manager FC's when CWM is attempting to flash.
nvflash will not work either because the bootloader is locked.
I don't know much about the boot sequence for android, but I looked for any init. files that are out of the ordinary and cannot find anything.
I'm giving this tablet away when I finally figure it out, I just want to fix it. Any help would be awesome and let me know if I've left something out.
Even if no one has any specific suggestions, can someone post a PIT file for a SCH-i905? I have seen the stock firmware that can be flashed through ODIN but it does not stick on my unit.
Thanks!
Excuse my English but my original language is Spanish.
The default verizon tablet brings in recovery an option that reloads the original recovery. If units installed CWM via Odin must access the recovery option (Vol +) on 1st boot and enter the option to leave cmw (reboot) will give you the option of not recovering the recovery.
The other alternative is to flash via odin the original software look it by google "PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE20110704_0708"
in this case the tab stay with the factory version.
if the team does not have SIM must type top left - top right - bottom left, bottom right and then vol + to unlock.
good look
This is the post that you are needing.

i had the same problem but pulling the sim and unlocking as mentioned above helped a lot then went through the whole rooting process through odin and have not had any issues with anything reverting back to stock. only issue now is not very many roms for our model "bummer" all in all still a good droid tablet for what i paid lol if you still havent got it going let me know and i will give you all the directions and steps i used
I have tried installing PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE2011070 4_0708 through Odin3.
I do boot directly into recovery after installing CWM, the stock recovery still persists. I have tried several times because I know sometimes it does not stick.
I have also tried flashing the factory image linked in that xda post "[ROM]EG01 - Factory STOCK ODIN Image - VZW LTE Tab 10.1".
Boots right back up and starts the same taxi cab show case media software it normally does.
One thing I did not note in the first post. I do have root access when the tablet is booted into the os, but I do not when the tablet is in recover. I dont know if this is unusual or not.
I can also install busy box, but have yet to find out his would be useful.
I also do not have access to nvflash, but I think this is normal because the bootloader is not unlocked.

Awesome, I'll give this a go when I get home.
Was there a p4vzw twrp version some where in those links?
Looks like all of the ones referenced were 3g and wifi only.
Sidenote: I don't care if I keep 4g functionality or not, I will only be using this for wifi, if that makes fixing the problem any easier.

I was able to find the thread, thanks!
After downloading the odin flashable twrp, I tried first with Odin3, but it failed. Then I flashed with JOdin, this first pulled a PIT file from the tab then failed to repartition. If I ran it without repartitioning it said it was sucessful, but if I boot straight into recovery the stock android recovery still comes up.
I have a way to get a pit file now though, so that's nice.

Don't use the Odin way. First flash cwm recovery, then flash the twrp zip file.

Hi..you can just use Kingo Root from this thread which is really simple to use, but i see the link for the program is now working again in that post, but you can get the program in my post also here as it will work on your model of the mega and use either the CWM or TWRP recovery from Silesh.Nair post here and in his signature use the downloads link and once on the download site and then select Recoveries via Odin and then select Old and there you can choose either CWM or TWRP recovery to flash with odin (i use Odin 3.07) and flash the .tar file with Odin and check my post here on how to use Odin, hope this helps you out and if you need more help just post.
Just tried it! Thank you so much... it worked like a charm :victory:

Grab the recovery in Silesh signature or philz touch cause you will needing to use it anyways with the 4.4 ROMs
*2SHAYNEZ*KCCO*
Hi..well first i would do is re-flash the recovery (either the CWM or the TWRP one, depends on which one you use) with odin and uncheck reboot option in odin, but when it is done flashing unplug your device and reboot your device into the recovery right away again as this has to be done in order for the recovery to work properly and from the stock recovery being installed by the device again.
The red lines can be taken away once you have your recovery flashed you have to flash the stock kernel from your rom with odin (recheck the reboot option in odin) which is the boot.img file and it has to be converted to a .tar file to be flashed via odin, you just have to get the stock rom for your region and unpack the zip file and then extract the boot.img file from the rom file which it usually comes as a .tar.md5 file or just a .tar file also. Just use winrar to extract the boot.img file and if you can do this and upload that boot.img file i can convert it for you if you like.
But even if you flash the stock kernel which may take twice to flash to get rid of the two red line when booting up your device, but when you go into recovery mode the two red lines will still be there i believe as your model of the mega is different than mine and my does not show this, only booting recovery in blue shows on my i527m version of the mega..hope this helps you out.
Try the re-flashing of the recovery and see how the phone boots into the rom after that as you might have to clear the Dalvik Cache with the recovery as this sometimes can correct boot problems when clearing this.
Hi starmaster10, shayneflashindaily, thx for all ur help but i've come to a decision to maybe not bring u the trouble to keep helping me, currently i'm still facing that problem with occasional stuck at boot... so i shall just restore back to stock... i just need your help getting me my official firmware which is SINGAPORE XSP OR MM1if that is ok :/ ... my ip doesn't seem to allow me to access to download those links from any site... thank u
