My phone wont boot now.
It stays stuck at the 2nd Samsung during the boot up.
What happen was I updated today to offical ICS from my rooted gingerbread.
I updated via kias today to get official ICS, got it working and I noticed I didn't have cwm install anymore, so I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
It is pass it did it reboot thing, and never got past the 2nd "samsung" loading screen.
Anyone know how to get my phone booting again?
Flash the latest ICS kernel
I am not sure how to do that without cwm.
Before I updated to ICS when I press power + up down, it booted into CWM. Now when I do that I boots into Android System Recovery <3e>
EDIT: Good news.
Got CWM through installed though odin and then I restored to my gingerbread backup I made earlier.
Flash your roms via clockwork recovery mod from now on.
Drop the ROM .zip on sd card and then enter recovery. Wipe everything three times each then flash a uclf6 based ROM. Never touch Odin or kies again. Be happy. Ice cream sandwich is way better than ginger bread

Had the same exact problem. I "believe" the problem was that the CWM I flashed was perhaps incompatible with the official ICS?
I used Odin to flash cwm 5.5.0.4 as suggested and the fone was shut down with the hanging Samsung screen as you mentioned. I used the DL screen with Odin to the 600mb Team Objection ROM, which at least got me up and running again. I found out that CWM did in fact flash once the ROM was compatible with it. Updated CWM, then to finally get full stability, I had to do a factory reset after clearing both caches, then install the CM9 official.

Update: I installed official ICS again last night, looks like I lost my root and CWM.
I don't want to mess anything up again, so could you tell me exactly what CWM file you used to flash so it doesn't hang at samsung again?
I was having the same problems but I think I was doing it wrong. How are you flashing the root files? I upgraded from Kies, then used Odin to flash cwm touch (5.5.0.4 I think), make sure to let the reboot and that it's actually turned on and you can see your homescreen. Once you do that, THEN flash the superuser 3.0.7 in cwm. Let the phone reboot properly and it should be okay.
I was doing the same without the reboots and that's what caused me to hang at the logo, but after the above it worked well. Give it a try. For anyone who needs to flash the T-Mobile radios also let the phone reboot and then flash it because I was having issues with that which was fixed by letting the phone reboot.
Make nandroids at every step in case it does hang so you can just restore and try again instead of flashing everything all over again.

I've also tried rooting my AT&T Galaxy Note I717 which had recently upgraded to ICS via AT&T/Kies and my phone is stuck at the Samsung boot screen. While I'm no expert with rooting phones, I had no problem rooting it when it had GB installed so I figured I wouldn't have any problems rooting it again. Is flashing the ICS kernel the best way to fix this? Where do I get the ICS kernel from and how do I flash it?
Details: After my phone upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 kernel 3.0.8 (IMM76D.UCLF6), I followed some instructions to root it using Odin3-v1.85 and PDA->pda.tar. Other instructions used cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 and odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_b4.tar and I tried those but to no avail. So I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed but I don't know what to do next.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update: I restored my phone back to a non-rooted working Android 4.0.4 by downloading the stock ROM for my phone (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) and uploading it using Odin3-v1.85/PDA. I didn't even lose any of my settings or data. Now I need to figure out how to successfully root it. But at least I'm not worried about getting stuck on the Samsung screen anymore.
Open odin , PDA cwm file, Droid in dl mode, plug in start unplug, reboot, go to cwm recovery mode and backup onto sd card.
Im learning more, as i soft bricked mine last time

ok look for the green arrow...and use those threads....to root...k
odin for touch cwm
flash super user
your rooted
You realize the reason you were stuck was because you flashed a GB kernel onto an ICS system? It would never boot. As the second post suggested... all you had to do was flash an ICS kernel to get it to boot.

so correct...you nailed it...so many are trying to root with gb kernal....
I hope they go to the page I made and follow the green arrowed how to root ics...it is very super simple process to root the official ics...but ....
This happened to me after misreading a comment.
If you put your phone into download mode, plug it in, run kies, and do an emergency firmware recovery. You'll need the serial number. My phone is stock ICS again. Works fine.

so cwm 5.5.0.4 touch is a GB kernel? Because that's all I flashed after the KIES update to ICS and I got the hanging Samsung logo.
I believe some people are trying to get ICS rooted with this cwm and are getting stuck. Of course there are ways out of it, but it'll help the learning process if we can find the problem.

Wait what??!!??!!
you need to read read read read and PLEASE read
Because CMW is not a kernel
Its a recovery
People wouldn't have these issues if they read.
Please refer to the stickies before you really damage your phone.

The OP had posted that he flashed Da_g's GB kernel trying to get root...your issue if flashing CWM may be different. Hopefully you use the steps outlined by bigjoe in his post.

Okay so my friend has a samsung vibrant is wanted to get his phone rooted and went to me. So I rooted it and installed ICS passion 13.1 ROM and it worked fine. Then he wanted jelly bean, so i looked into jelly bean and decided that i wanted to use Slim Bean to install it and it did not work. I download all the necessary files and then put them on the phone. I flashed the first file(t959) then the common file but after i installed the device file(t959) the phone stayed at samsung vibrant for too long. Then i pulled the battery went to CWM and installed the common file and after that i tried to reboot and try out Jelly Bean. It just stayed at the samsung logo. So then i started freaking out but forgot that i still had a backup. I restored the backup that i made earlier(real life saver this time) but there are more problems than i expected. Now the home and search button on his phone doesnt work and he needs jellly bean. What do i need to do to fix the home and search button? Should i reinstall passion ics 13.1 or restore the backup of eclair? If i can fix that how will i go to jelly bean?
Go back to eclair, install a froyo ROM, I used bionix v. Probably doesn't matter. Flash cm9 nightly (latest). Then flash up to Helly Bean (my rom of choice)
Obviously wipe/factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik before each flash step.
Enjoy your buttery jelly beans!
Okay so I need to restore the eclair backup? Why can't I go from jelly bean from passion.

You might be able to. I don't remember the circumstances, but if I recall correctly, some people have reported having issues going from Passion to JB.
I could be mistaken.
Should I just install cm9 to get to jelly bean then?
Yeah, wipe data, wipe cache, dalvik. Then flash and reboot recovery and flash common. After that I booted up to make sure everything was going as planned. Then I rebooted to recovery wiped again and flashed Helly Bean.
So install cm9 then use your instructions to install slim bean?

Yes. Fire away. If you have any questions feel free to ask. We're here all the time
I would recommend to Odin to eclair, then flash the latest CM10 nightly (you can find the thread in the Dev section). Reboot, then flash again with GApps.

To get the best clean install its best to Odin back to stock however you cannot go from stock straight to cm10.
If you ask what is the best way to get to jb, 3 people will probably give three different answers. I'm not sure what you're running now but its good to upgrade incrementally. Stock>cm7>cm9>jellybean(cm10). After you flash all zips for any ROM, if it gets stuck on boot screen, give it a few minutes sometimes it will take awhile at first. If it doesn't boot pull battery and use 3 button combo back to recovery and reboot. If it still doesn't go pull battery 3 button to recovery and flash everything again no wipe. That usually fixes it.

After flashing a rom? I always do before but don't think I ever have after. Will try as soon as I'm home, thanks

Yeah, it's a factory reset, you can perform it at any time.

The issue I'm having is anytime I power off or reboot my device it fails to boot. thw phone will sit on the splash screen. I have tried flashing a new kernel but nothing. I usually have to end up formating internal data and factory reset and reflash to get it to boot.
So any idea why anytime I power off or reboot it won't reboot...........

What rom are you running, you still on stock? I'm running hyperdrive rls 4 and it doesn't like to be rebooted. Seems like it likes to freeze or get stuck in a boot loop. As long as I power the phone off and then back on it's ok. I haven't flashed any other kernels though

Hey yall ibtried to update my note 2 via the ota and when it rebooted it booted into twrp and looked like it was installing but when it booted back up it said the update failed. Does anyone know where the ota files get saved so I can try to manually flash it?

You can't. You have to be on stock rom, and recovery. Just go to beans stock thread, and flash the rom, and firmware from there.
