hello i was trying to follow the noob guide posted in the stickies.
i backed up everything using titanium
i was in the rom manager and when i go to click reboot into recovery the phone has been stuck on the first screen of reboot Vibrant Samnsung. i cant get through it took the battery out and tried rebooting again normally wont go through neither will it do anything if i pressed the volume up and down keys while powering on. any ideas ??
actually there is an update....i tried rebooting with holding down volume keys and the screen tries to go past the initial screen but comes back again to vibrant samsung screen. so it goes away for a second or two like its about to load the next screen and then back to the initial screen....
any help or guidance or pointers?? phone is still stuck tried alot of different things in the last hour or so....anything would be greatly appreciated....
thanks
Take the battery off, then a sec or two back in. Now attach the USB cable to your mob but not the PC and while holding the volume keys insert the other end of the USB to your PC and let me know how that works.

Do you have your phone plugged into the computer? If so is odin up and running? does odin see your phone port? If so odin back to stock and start over using the toolbox.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
before you use ODIN to go back to stock, where you were and not wanting to be, check your PM from the one you sent me earlier.
Exactly what the guys said. If your PC recognized the device then just install Odin and go back to stock. If not, then download the drivers' file in the Noob thread.

will i lose all my app and contacts and stuff ?
Yes you will lose your apps, that's why you have to back them up using an app called titanium backup. Then after you flash your new rom you can restore all of them.
Other than the apps you usually don't lose anything but better safe than sorry, so copy past your vids, pics and whatever you need on your external SD or on your PC before flashing.

The toolbox has all the files with it. It is a very handy program that can do it all for you.
i found a video and post on XDA on how to work odin and the files as well but my phone isnt being picked up by odin when i connect it to pc.... so what do i do next ?

There is a thread on this somewhere I will see if I can find it. Did the toolbox work at all?
phone is finally back and up and running but i tried again to reboot it from CWR and it got stuck again so i managed to get it back in. so now my options are using odin and taking it back to stock and then re rooting flashing and everything again. and the second problem is i cant move the file of trigger rom from pc memory to phone memory i dont know why. so have to figure that out as well.
or i use the toolbox and try that out lets see how that goes...now im really **** scared to do these things. because before it went smooth now its just scary as ****....ahhhh

Is your phone plugged into your computer? If so unplug it from your computer then plug it back in. See if odin finds it. Do this a few times in needed. Maybe try different usb ports. There is a thread on this somewhere I will see if I can find it. One thing you can try is have Odin running pull your battery, connect your cable to your phone and pc. Then put your battery back in, then turn on your phone and see if odin finds it on a com port.

I partitioned my SD card using ROM Manager, turned the phone off and got a black screen with lit keys. So, I read around and was told to use ODIN to reflash the stock TMO build, so I did. Now, Im getting the TMO logo and Galaxy S screen, but I get a black screen still.
I cannot get into download mode. I vol - and power and I get the Vibrant logo, then it goes back off. Even when plugged it, I get the batt charging animation, then back to the Vibrant screen.
I tried to push the update.zip to the SD card through ADB, but I get a permission denied message, meaning the root was killed.
So, is this phone pretty much screwed? I cant think of any other way to get it going outside of moving the update.zip to the sd card by a 3rd party measure i.e card reader/another phone
dude that's not even close to a brick as the phone is still responsive somehow..
do this:
1. pull out battery wait 5-10secs
2. connect USB to computer and phone
3. hold down the vol +/- buttons
4. plug in battery
5. you should be in download mode now
6. do what you gotta do with ODIN
good luck
Dont use that method to get to DL mode . Do it this way . First turn off your phone , then plug the usb cable into your computer ONLY . Next hold both volume buttons and plug the micro usb into your phone . Also use odin v1.3 and flash the rom of your preference .
Edit : xtone beat me to the punch

Yes using ROM Manager to repartition your phone will create the "soft-brick" you are experiencing. But as one person has already noted, this can pretty much be recovered using ODIN.
Definitely follow the advice given in Posts 2 and 3 of this thread to get into Download mode. If you're not getting the desired results using ODIN, what settings are you using? For example, what are the names of the .pit and .tar files you are using? Did you check or leave unchecked the "re-partition" option?
Sorry for the noobery. Im usually good at this.
Well, I was able to get into download mode and get ODIN to run, but im getting a MBD checksum error when I boot into recovery.
And I cannot install CWM through the market because my Application Storage is at 0.00B for some reason.

What ROM did you flash. You might want to perform a factory reset and then flash the stock JFD ROM and see if that fixes your problem.
Good luck.
Oh this is a nightmare.... exactly what happened to me.
I'll be honest, I tried and tried and tried all sorts of stuff and somehow I got it back reading again.
I would ODIN to Eugenes Froyo that doesn't brick and see where that gets you. Thread is in developers section and I am pretty sure that's what got me back working but follow ALL the instructions. With no application room I couldn't push, unistall, install ect...

That's only needed if he flashed a rom with the wrong kernel or if he flashed a rom without disabling voodoo .

Just get to DL mode as xtone and I stated in post 2 & 3 . Then flashed to JFD with odin v1.3 and click the repartition box in odin and you'll be fine .

I had this problem for the last two days, but I found a way to fix it thanks to a user (whom I don't know the name of)
I did this to go back to stock firmware (JFD), make sure you have that downloaded.
Look for Eugene's Galaxy S Froyo PDA, for the i9000, not the Vibrant. Flash it through Odin with the 512 pit file. It's not going to boot up but take you to recovery mode instead, and it's going to remap your Volume buttons, but you can still get into DL mode (up is now down, and vice versa but whatever)
Now Odin back to stock, using the same 512 pit and there you go! Should boot up with no problem. Now you can redo everything, but remember to never partition through ROM Manager ever again!

His exact symptoms happened to me when the noob in me decided to repartition in Rom Manager awhile back. I am just suggesting he uses this tool as an option. It's definitely a good tool to use regardless of how he got where he got.
something like this happened to a buddy of mine, i'm trying to fix it, but the guy was completely stock so it makes no sense... I've tried everything, and i cant seem to find eugenes files...

OK, I got it fixed. Heres how.
I was finally able to get into ODIN and flash Eugenes Froyo.
So, from there, I was getting an MD5 checksum error when Id try to get into recovery, and I couldnt install the ROM Manager from the Market
Well, upon inspection of a the Nero V3 build I had downloaded, there was a ROMManager.apk there. So I pushed it onto my phone, reflashed to CWR (had to do it about 3 times) and reinstalled Nero V3.
After installing the build, I was able to re-enable voodoo and its theres no more MD5 craziness when I access the Recovery

Apparently. Completely forgot I attempted to enable it. I was freaked all the way out trying to repair the damn thing.
Vibrant Stock Rom boots after I odin, wipes all the data and everything but then it freezes on a black screen right after the Galaxy S screen. The screen is black and the buttons are highlighted.
Any help is much appreciated.
Flash this in Odin after you disconnect every USB device, take battery out of phone for few minutes, reboot your computer, only plug your phone into a new USB slot.

I thought you only did that if you're running a working rom. Because I flashed this over a custom rom that soft bricked and it worked fine.....but to play it safe, you are right and it's even stated on his thread

My bad man, I forgot to add that It flashes the stock 2.2 froyo. I just cant use my internal sd card. So all i can do is use wifi, service features, but cannot download apps and other stuff like that. The build number: Froyo.UVJK2 is the one it works almost as usual.
So far I have tried to format the sd card and even restore factory reset but nothing has worked.

Click HERE and download superoneclick and unzip it.
When you are done, plug your phone to computer (with Debugging Mode "On") and open up SuperOneClick then click "Root".
Info on rooting this phone is going to be rather old considering just about all the recent roms for the fascinate root the device during the flashing process...if you are just trying to root the phone to obtain super user permission to install certain apps you can use the z4 method or super one click or, what I recommend is to find a rom you would like to flash...comm rom 2.0 for example and see if it contains root access...(comm rom is one example that does just this)..so I guess a question back to you is in order...what are you looking for...root access, custom rom, or both?

Don't be sorry...this is the q and a section !
All you will have to do is download the rom of choice and put it on the root of your sd card...not in a folder, download odin to your pc install any necessary drivers, make sure your pc will recognize your device at this point, and download your cwm file to your pc and save it in the odin folder..(I use the 3-30 fix all file) connect your phone to pc using stock samsung usb cable, pull battery hold the down volume button...this will put you in download mode, once odin sets up a com port, click the pda button and only the pda never click phone. flash your cwm file, when odin is done install your batt and hold volume up, down, and power until cwm appears, (if you let the phone boot fully you will have to re odin since the stock kernel will over write cmw) at this point you will do a factory reset, wipe cache, and go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache then go to install zip from sd, find the rom you put on your sd card earlier and select install zip, if your rom does not contain a kernel you must flash the kernel also prior to your first boot up or you will have to re odin.
I also suggest backing up your contacts via exporting then to sd v card or backing up via g mail...after all is said and done reboot back to cwm via up, down, power button and do a nandroid back up to save you phone as is...just in case! You can always restore back to that point.

Wow thanks a lot for all that man. This would be my 3rd android phone to flash, so I feel pretty confident. But this one just seemed to have a lot more different ways to go about things then previous phones.
So I appreciate you breaking it down for me.
No prob...if you get stuck p.m.me and I'll give more in depth directions but the most important thing is to be patient...it can take 15-20 mins while your phone is loading so don't pull the batt and start over unless you have waited that long..good luck! Once you get the hand if it, its not that hard and our phones are pretty brick proof...I'm sure not completely, but this isn't your first rodeo so if you get into trouble read read read especially the stickies and when in doubt send me a p.m.

Ok cool thanks again and will do. Its actually the wifes phone so I won't be doing it for a couple days probably as shes busy and needs it. I was going to do it last night but kind of got overwhelmed with all the info.
Hey guys... Ive successfully rooted the phone and have latest CWM and have flashed countless of roms here in the dev section for the GS2.
Now recently when i plug the usb to the computer/phone the computer cannot recognize my phone but will recognize my girlfriends... ive checked/unchecked the usb debugging and tried installing all latest kies/mini drivers still no go... so i tried to flash the phone to recovery now CWM says that it is unable to mount my sd card... apparently there is an issue with my sd card (not external the internal one that comes with the phone)...
CWM pretty much won't let me do anything as it can't access the sd card folder of the phone i really could use some help figuring out how to "restore"? the internal sd card... is there any like original phone batch folders i can download so i can put the phone back into normal settings or any workaround for my issue?
Thanks so much guys..
try odin
i know you said pc want recognize phone but try and odin back to stock

If you cannot use this method, but still want to try flashing back to a stock ROM, you could use the new mobile odin app to flash directly from your phone. Especially if your comp will not recognize your phone.
Just a thought...

Ok a buddy of mine last night started rooting my phone using the (How to Root AT&T Galaxy Note SGH-i717! [ICS][Gingerbread][Easiest Method]) he made it through the first part of puting the cwm on it. then when he tried to connect the phone via usb, to transfer superuser, the compter would not recognize my phone. so he could not go anyfurther do to the time we had left. so i tried to go home and finish up on the computer, since i figured the hard part was over. Now my computer does not recognize it either. ive tried re-downloading the drivers and downloading kies. and still nothing.
so my question is, can i finish rooting with out a computer and if not, what can i do?

[ICS][Gingerbread][Easiest Method]) he made it through the first part of puting the cwm on it. then when he tried to connect the phone via usb, to transfer superuser, the compter would not recognize my phone. so he could not go anyfurther do to the time we had left. so i tried to go home and finish up on the computer, since i figured the hard part was over. Now my computer does not recognize it either. ive tried re-downloading the drivers and downloading kies. and still nothing.
so my question is, can i finish rooting with out a computer and if not, what can i do?

Just flash stock then redo root

I've assumed you followed direction got a rooted kernel using odin then install superuser, from that then use odin again to flash cwm.
Are you in download mode on your Note?
"1. Turn off your phone and uplug it. Take the battery out of your phone, put it back in, and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time. Keep them held down until the phone starts buzzing and you see the Samsung name.
2. At this point you are either in download mode or the phone will tell you to hit volume up, at which point you'll be ready."
IF not working, recommend starting from scratch
Use this first to get back to stock

Then root via

or this

Then install CWM using Odin from here

Once done, nandroid and happy flashing

you would download the drivers from the desktop. Either way if you plug in while doin ia open and you see something highlighted in yellow then odin is recognizing. If tgats the case follow instructions on rootgalaxynote.com to odin back to stock then redo root. Follow the instructions very carefully especially the part about factory reset

You need to root first via odin then install cwm
Reverse what you did using odin or odin back to stock then start from scratch following my previous post

this is how i rooted and stopped after cwm mod was put on.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
because the computer would not recognize phone after installing cwm
Try using a different cable or different USB port our maybe even a different computer and see if you can have a different setup recognize your phone. In the man time, read the tutorials at the top of the general section to get up to speed if your friend is not there to help anymore.

I don't think he has super user so he might not be able to delete it. If he can't connect at all and odin doesn't recognise then he ia in a tight spot. If you can get into cwm by holding the power button and vol up and down, try wiping everything factory cache div. Cache then fix permissions. If that and the drivers being ddownloaded did not work i sure hope you have an att warranty or have only had the fone for 30 days. If you take it back to the retailer and act like its stock they will never know or care. Try to get a guy who is an iphone fanboy if you get and android wiz you could be out of luck

Question is did you tried to reconnect using odin?
At what point does the computer not recognize? in android or Odin?
Can you even boot into android?
If possible give us a screenie of where you are at!

this is the rason why u dont let friends do this kind of thing for u!! it is something u must learn..u may have bugs here and there and if u have no clue how to fix it ur %[email protected] so i would say undo all that he did then start fresh...use odin 1.85exe go find the att recovery b4 file plug in to odin click pda find where u put the recovery file that u DL put it in the pda box then u should be good to go
Ok ill make this so simple. You need to start over from the top. I would suggest going on YouTube search for how to root the Att galaxy note. Just watch it. Its a good way to learn odin. Then search Att galexy not recovery. This way you have a visual step by step. That's how I did it I watched it then followed along. I read all the comments (if any) in the comment section. Trust me it so much easier that way cuz you can stop and compare screens and such or stop and replay parts that u need.

If you can't access a computer.
I'm writing this because as I understand it, your friend was SUCCESSFUL at getting CWM on and just not root. If your phone is working otherwise, then try this.
With the phone turned OFF
Hold down BOTH volume buttons and turn the phone ON
When you see the Samsung logo appear LET GO of both volume buttons.
If you have CWM installed right you should be at the CWM menu, offering various options, just select REBOOT SYSTEM and post back here and let us know if CWM is in fact installed correctly.
