You also need to flash the pit file. If you follow the instructions in this thread, it will tell you exactly what to do. You don't use Odin to install CWM, btw.

Phidelt82 is correct.
Start with that thread. That will get you back to stock.
Then this thread. How to Mod My MEZ. That will get you started from Stock to get Rooted and install CWM and then its your choice of ROM and Theme if you choose.
please please please.. read. read and read everything twice. go slow and have patience.
And ask questions. I do not get a chance to post so much at the moment but always willing to help where I can if I can.

now my phone can not to work。I press step by step, and now my phone finish except call 911, any other phone cannot dial, what reason be?

Need to activate？How should do?

Just cool down. Your phone is booting. It works. I don't work for USCC so I'm not exactly sure how it works but I don't know if you would have to activate it again. I suggest you take the phone to the store and tell them it stopped working. They will probably get it all fixed up for you there. Since it's stock right now you shouldn't have any problems (=
PS: In the future, don't dial 911 to 'test' whether you phone works or not.. 0_o

Woah, what do you mean you don't use Odin to install CWM? The newb guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931169
says "
1.Shut phone off, pull battery out and leave it out.
2.Run odin (assuming you have it installed)
3.Load the cwm-recovery-all.tar file into the PDA spot"
And i've read like 15 other how tos that all say the same thing. That sounds like you install CWM with odin.

[Q] T959W Opens To CWM Based Recovery Mode Everytime

I'm a noob but I'd been trying my best understanding to ROOT T959W, I'd followed the steps as described in one of the forums here using odin 1.7 and stock+Voodoo-T959VKJ1.tar and the update in sdcard but unfortunately I don't understand, no matter what i do, when the phone turns on it shows the Recovery mode, I'm however able to boot into the downlod mode and my phone is detectable.
The phone was I guess bricked onetime but i'd used oneclick unbrick and it went back fine.
Please help me to at least get it to a running state not necessarily root.
I don't know if this is right, what should i do next ? Flash the rom CM9 ? or have i messed up ? :S
THANKS A TON!
Attached is a preview.

It seems a little odd. Did you clear everything and not flash a rom?

So you have the "W" phone from Wind and you flashed the bootloader? I can clearly see the Tmobile logo, which shouldn't be on a Wind phone. Just hold on, don't flash anything else and give a few, I'm working with bhundven at this very moment to try and dump my bootloader. Your phone still turns on, there is hope but the more you start clicking all over, etc the more damage you can do, so please wait.

Sure, I will be waiting, Yes it shows the Tmobile logo and when I connect it to Odinv1.85 it tells me this phone is T959V but infact its a wind mobile.
I'll be waiting for you guys and will be more than willing to donate.
cheers!

The T959V in odin is just a label in the ini file in the same directory.
You can change that to say anything you want.
I really recommend taking the time now to remove odin, and it's drivers, and install heimdall.
Look around in the wiki for help on that one.

Me and Brian are working on it. He had to go out for a bit, so waiting for him to get back on IRC and I'm testing it and risking bricking my phone for the good of the 959W users, so please be patient until we have a test package that can restore the bootloaders, param's, everything full for a "W" model. I found a very complicated work around to get out of the loop but I rather wait till we have the 1 click tested and it's easier to use and do.
For now, the standard 1 click should get you back to stock, just don't flash the bootloader at all.

Glad I was able to help but I couldn't have done any of this with the guidance of bhundven and others from Team Acid. Hopefully I'll have the true stock modem our phone came with soon, full stock recovery, etc and be able to put out a full package to help people who are bricked or want to go back to stock.

sooo please tell me what going on right now, what is the state of your device, you are able to get into recovery correct? its not the stock recovery which is recovery 3e. it turns on but allot of the apps are not working. so since the signature verification failed, you are going to go to (this is assuming you have CWM NOT STOCK RECOVERY) install zip from sdcard then toggle signature verification, and try to reflash the rom you wanted and since the google play store isent working on your device you need to flash the gapps. it needs to be the version of android the rom you want to flash. (gingerbread roms dont need it but ICS and JB need it) just google gapps and look for the android version of what the rom is.

That's the second time you've insinuated I didn't read the thread. I can read perfectly well, thank you. At one point he let on he didn't know which recovery he had installed and then he let on he may have CMW. Unless you have something to actually contribute to this thread or a valid question, I'd appreciate it if we just don't communicate with each other. It's a waste of space, which drives up server costs and i don't much like you.

[Q] Galaxy Note 1 I717 Stock Flash won't fix boot loop

I received a Galaxy Note 1 I717 (AT&T) and it was in a bootloop. I have experience with flashing stock roms through Odin and fixing bootloops that way. So after going through recovery mode, wiping, flashing, I am still getting put into a bootloop after a successful flash on Odin. I've spent 2 days with this and tried all the little suggestions of wiping before flashing, using the original roms from XDA , trying some other stock roms specifically for my model and I'm still left with a bootloop. I'm capable of getting into download and recovery, and I've actually gotten different stock recovery modes! So the flashes are working, but it just won't boot up correctly. I looked around for the U.S. version of the Pit CSC Phone and PDA to try and re partition it, but they are absolutely NOWHERE! Any help would be greatly appreciated, whether it's a ROM suggestion, the re partition files, or whatever else.

Status 7 means the device is incompatible, but that's impossible since we have the right ROM for your device.
OK just be sure, I'll give you another ROM and you must follow the other steps, but with the different files of course.

Because 2 roms incompatible is almost impossible.

Sorry for not getting back in a while, thanks for all the effort you've been putting into helping out.
I'm 100% positive, I'm looking at the back below where the battery goes and it says SGH-I717. I thought that model number meant for sure it was AT&T. I live in the states also if that helps.

But don't you think it's maybe a Chinese replica with a different kernel?
If you got it cheap, that might be the case.
And can you please thank my posts?
Because the few clicks you do, help me a lot

No it was definitely bought in the US, legit from a phone store.

So, for my understanding, you bought it new from the store and rooted it and then got in a bootloop?
Can you please tell me how you came in the bootloop, did you get it with flashing a ROM or a kernel etc.?

I bought it from a friend because they had it in a boot loop. Everything on it was completely stock since they were your average user, I'm pretty sure this isn't a hardware issue either if that helps because randomly after flashing CWM one time it actually booted up and I was able to use the phone. But after rebooting, it bootlooped again :\. I haven't been able to replicate this again sadly.

failed to mount /efs

is there a fix for this after going to the 4.3 update. i flashed the stock image from odin and now it am having this issue. My phone also has a black transparent popup with yellow lettering. I believe it is in factory mode. There is no data in the efs file. I think that is the overall issue right now. Does anyone have any help/ suggestions?
Here is what I have done to try and fix this issue
Reflash with odin
reflash with keis
factory reset through operating system
factory reset through recovery
reflash with odin using pit file as well

So you're on stock 4.3 and then you Odin flash 4.3 again?

How about do a factory reset and reflash again? Check make sure your download file is good too just in case.

OK the last resort probably flash full stock with a PIT file.

well, earlier today i was able to. not so much any more. can't even get into download mode. the only thing that happens now is when i plug it into my computer it says it failed to install hs-usb qdloader drivers.
only time i can get any lights to turn on is when i pull the battery and sim card. and just the led comes on red.
looks like i have myself a paperweight :/

Have to try the hardbrick method (boot off the sdcard) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
If you can boot up, we may have a chance to fix the efs issue.

i would like to try this, but i dont want to mess up my 16gb class 10 micro sd. i tried it with a 4gb class 4 and it wont let me reformat it back, even with the utility he directed us to.

Its safe. I don't think you can mess up the card.

If you read the description "how to recover from a hard brick", the phone don't boot at all (appear to be dead). That because there's nothing there to boot, the SDcard mount a new boot image to assist the phone to boot. Currently you don't have much choice; 1) try the hardbrick method 2) send out for JTAG repair 3) buy a new phone or if still under warranty then send out for replacement.

You need to try couple times (4-5 times), rewrite the image to sd try again and repeat this process a few times.(each time to retry, you need to rewrite the image then try).
