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.

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.

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.

Have you tried to use ODIN to flash your phone back to a working ROM?
Also, be sure to flash the right ROM.. Verizon Fascinate and Telus Fascinate are 2 different phones..
Well... now theres a problem as ODIN won't see my phone in download mode. :/
Reinstall your USB drivers, and see if your cable is seated properly. If you can get into Download mode, most cables used will allow Odin to recognize. You may have to Odin back to a different ROM like Neo said.
Make sure you have the latest version of Odin

Did it over and over man.
It won't install any ROMS, kernals sure, not zips. If anything, everytime I try to unmount USB in Clockwork Recovery, it blinks and goes back to the previous screen.
Any ideas?
EDIT: The phone now won't get past the bootloader. Cannot get into Clockwork Recovery
when you flash back to stock with Odin... are you using all the fields in the screenshot on that link? eg. Pit, pda, phone, csc or just pda?
because I only use pda and flash the stock .md5 file. i'm out of ideas man... I'm kinda n00b at this myself, just bumping to maybe get a someone's attention.

So can you get into download mode and use ODIN to flash or not?
Are you still stuck at bootloader? Please be as descriptive as you can.
And no, I never heard of "cannot unmount USB storage" CWM... I've heard of mounting issues, but not unmounting...
IMHO, I think your best option here is to get ODIN working, then flash to a stock ROM with stock Kernel with PIT (Repartition) then flash CWM 2.5.
I dont see why you would need to unmount? what you can do is remove the battery cover remove the sd card. with the battery still out plug the phone into your usb and hold the volume down button. does it go into download mode then?
Then can Odin see your phone?
Also worst case try a different PC all together.
Are you on VZW or Telus?
I can get into download mode and use ODIN yes.
I am no longer stuck at the bootloader and can boot into stock froyo with ODIN.
I use ODIN to flash stock ROM and kernel, and everytime I flash back CWM 2.5. It won't let me install any ROMs. It gives me a status 7 error and aborts.
CWM just won't work
In case you didn't know, CWM can mount USB just like android so I don't have to boot into the OS to place a file. under mounts>mount USB storage>Unmount/Mount
Everytime I press unmount, the screen blinks and takes me back to the previous screen.
This is a Telus Fascinate.
I had a similar problem. Turns out my USB cable was culprit. Several others have had similar problems. Try a different USB cable.

Oh i am aware of the Feature, what i was saying is it shouldnt affect flashing a rom.
also one thing i noticed is your using an older CWM, which rom are you trying to flash? If it is an MTD like CM7 then you should use the cwm 3 or 4 fixed for cm7

Tried the fix, ODIN starts and then fails in the middle saying NAND write failed.
What could this mean? ODIN fails to install the fix :/
Tried a different cable, so cable is not the issue here.
Can we get one thing straight here though? The phone is not bricked as I can get into ODIN and flash what seems to be only stock files?
As long as Odin can see it you can always go to stock. As long as Odin is ok there is hope.
As i have a Verizon Fassy, I may not be much more help.
Worst case find a Tellus Rom that you can Odin and do that.
Good Luck

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

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

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.
Hey guys
I have the Telus Galaxy note and since this was my first android phone I learned about rooting .. so I tried it tho it didn't seem to be very successful except if I tried to do anything with downloading roms the screen would go black and I would have to hook it back to my computer and run odin and reflash it just to get it back on .... tonight I don't know why but I (not even thinking ) decided to do a factory reset and when it went to go do it my phone did the same thing .. black screen but this time wont show up in odin .. I got it too once but the flash failed . so as of right now I can put my phone into odin mode but that's really all at this point , I hope someone can help me because im running out of options and am no good at this
thank you for taking the time to read this

Are you trying to flash a custom rom?

Check out mobile tech videos on YouTube. They have services to root and rom phones.

All I know is im hooking up my note to the computer and odin wont pick it up . I know its not a usb or driver problem and what ive had to do before is hook it to odin and select the PDA and press start and my phone worked fine
Try playing with usb debugging on/off. Reinstall the drivers. I had a real hard time getting odin to see my captivate on my 64bit win 7 laptop. But my desktop pc works everytime. Make sure the usb cable is plugged into the back if you are on a desktop. Make sure you are running odin as administrator.

Why are people flashing with Odin? Drop the rom on the SD and do it through cwm. All the flashing problems are from people flashing through Odin.

Now that you mention it you are CORRECT. Doesn't flashing in odin increase your flash counter or something like that? Please excuse my noob-ness
