Stuck at "Samsung" boot screen after ICS update and Root

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.

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.

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?

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!

[Q] [Question] Root

Hey Xda forums,
I've recently bought GS3 (Actually I've pre-ordered it so it's not so recently)
I have decided I want to root my device eventhough I've already got 4.1.1 Jellybean.
But when I went to rooting guides, they've told me to download the correct kernel for my device
which I can't find anywhere! whoever can help me find it will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Download cf-auto root from original android devlopement thread and flash it with Odin. That is all you have to do. More precise instructions in the cf-auto root thread.

First you go to your phone’s Settings -> About Device and make sure your phone is GT-I9300
Turn off you Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
Go to recovery mode by pressing Volume Down + Power Button + Home Button all together
Then press Volume Up button when a warning shows up
Connect USB cable to your phone.
On your desktop, Extract the downloaded CF-Root file (.tar)
Open Odin3 and click on PDA
Choose the .tar from the extracted CF-Root folder
Then click Start
After the green PASS has appeared in Odin3, you can now remove the USB cable
You should be able to see SuperSU and CWM Manager installed in your Samsung Galaxy S3
That’s it! Congrats

Home button broken, Not rooted, how to get into recovery?

Hi all,
I have a non-rooted Galaxy S2, and I want to get into recovery mode, but my home button is broken.
I have tried some "recovery booters" but they all require rooting.
You guys have any idea how I can get into recovery without an Home button?
Thanks in advance!!
unfortunaterly you cannot get into recovery or download mode on a non rooted phone without the home key.
2 methods.
method 1.
Using playstore download mobile Odin, root your phone and install cwm recovery you can get the files from xda developers app which is also at the playstore.
Method 2.
You can replace the home key yourself just follow the tutorial for replacing the screen, it will show you the location and part you need.
Parts are avaiable online.

Lol, ur device must be rooted in the first place to use 'Mobile Odin' app , hence its ruled out for u
AFAIK u can put ur phone into Dwnld mode using an USB Jig and then flash a Custom Kernel like Siyah v4.1.5 (tar file for ODIN) ( if u have stock ICS) to get root and latest CWM recovery app installed, then u can use the app to reboot ur phone into recovery mode
What does such a Jig cost, and where do I buy one?

Well with all the contradictory methods i've researched the one thing ive concluded is that for a noob it really aint that easy to sort through everything ive found and realize what the hell to do. I really don't wanna brick this frigger so this if anything is a desperate cry for help.
Long story short, I have the files which one do I use and what do I do with it?

There's nothing hard about rooting if you want to flash a custom ROM on your tab, 99.9% of the developers pre-root their ROM's so you dont even have to root it, so did pershoot.
Step 1: You start from zero: you have a gt-p7510 STOCK ROM on android 4.0.4, if not, flash the ics bootloader from droidbasement.com via odin in PDA slot.
Step 2: go to droidbasement.com, and it depends which android version you want to flash, 4.0.4, 4.1.1, or 4.2.2, let's say you want do flash android 4.2.2, download clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.4, flash it via odin in PDA slot and reboot your device.
Step 3: once you have cwm 6.0.3.4 flashed, connect your tablet to your pc and get the latest nightly version, YOU DON'T WANT TO USE EXPERIMENTAL BUILTS!! Since they were only ment for pure development and they could be very unstable. Download the latest version here http://get.cm/?device=p4wifi here and copy the file over from your computer to your device. DO NOT FORGET!
Step 4: reboot your device into recovery and do a factory reset, go to your 0 folder in recovery and flash the latest nightly built. ( a factory reset via cwm will not delete data on your SDcard
Step 5: reboot your device again when it's done and wait up to 10 minutes.
And last but not least step 6: enjoy!!

Get your tablet in download mode, it's the same way as you go to recovery, but then the other image on the right side, your tab will warn you that flashing other software may cause problems on your tab and blabla, just ignore that and push yes. Connect your tab to your pc and open odin, while it's connected, your pc will look for a driver i think. Once odin is opened, select PDA slot and search for the recovery safed on your computer, then hit the square box and make sure the box in front of'PDA SLOT' is check with a 'V', now it will flash cwm on your tablet
So i have to have odin on my pc?

Why do people always feel they have to run to customs roms? To me that is like saying to somebody who asks how to change a wheel on a car that first they have to remove the engine and put in a supercharged version instead with all the added unreliability that goes with it.... Custom roms are great but sometimes when answering a question the sledgehammer to crack a walnut approach is not the best..... if you are happy with stock rom to start with try rooting that first then if you want to go further try the custom approach
If you just want to root a stock firmware then all you have to do is install clockwork recovery using odin and flash a root zip through recovery.....
Root file is here for you and if you go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44527963#post44527963 there is a good version of odin for your tab and drivers (if you haven't already installed them ) that I recently posted
As long as you are sure it is 7510 you have then recovery for pushing through odin is attached as well
I cant have root permissions after flashing CM 10.2 (I accidentally did full sd card data wipe with twrp 2.6.0.0 before) , now none of apps that request root works..I tried to flash older superuser.zip files but that didnt work (when trying to flash superUS v1.50 zip it always writes ''failed')'. Any solution to that?
Try installing SuperSu from play store, see if that works otherwise if that doesn't work go to android development stickies for this forum' download root.zip and try to root again through recovery

Ok.. being as you're new to this.. I advise you to watch QBKing's video on rooting this device, really any of his rooting vids will show you how to install odin/drivers and then to Odin the custom recovery...
If you feel unsure after watching the video or have any questions... just hit me back and I can walk ya through it..
Don't be worried if I don't see you're reply right away.. I'm on my way home from vaction and my service is less than spotty.. ( thanks sprint )
The video was enlightening to say the least. However the thread at ac syndicate is now closed. Sooooo im wondering if there is anywhere else i can find the necessary files

I have been trying for a whole day. I have used files either from other posts in xda or other sites. Still I could not root my 7510. I have finally successfully rooted the tablet with the files in this post.
Thanks a lot!

Glad it worked ! :good:
If anybody else needs the files to root or a link to qbking77 video....look at my FAQ thread....everything needed to root is there, minus the Sammy drivers( you can get them when you plug you're tab into the PC )...
Also...do yourself a favor and as soon as you root...go put infamous twrp recovery on the device..I have flashed every single ROM I've put on my device through this recovery...no problems yet...Lol.
Link to FAQ thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458846
Edit...this is for p4wifi only on stock 4.0.4
Copy them where on the device?
Step 3: once you have cwm 6.0.3.4 flashed said:
connect your tablet to your pc[/B] and get the latest nightly version, YOU DON'T WANT TO USE EXPERIMENTAL BUILTS!! Since they were only ment for pure development and they could be very unstable. Download the latest version here and copy the file over from your computer to your device. DO NOT FORGET!
Where do you copy the step 3 files? I can't even access the file directory on the tablet for more than 1-2 minutes before it resets. I flashed the step 2 files (no change), and having trouble knowing where to but the step 3 files and how to access the target directory. Could you clarify for me? Thanks.
BTW new user and can't "post"urls so I had to delete yours from the reply. sorry.
