Hello,
I'm sure this forum probably receives way too many of these posts, but I really do need help and my friend recommended I go here.
Last night, I was trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-7000 and afterwards ended up deleting too much apps, so lost my Play store and google play services. After which I did a factory reset, but when the phone was meant to reboot, it ended up only displaying the "Unfortunately, Samsung Setup Wizard has stopped". Now I can't get past Setup and at the same time, can't complete setup as well. It won't go past that screen, and I Can get into download mode and reboot mode - but reboot mode is of no use and turning it off and on only takes me back to the after mentioned screen.
Luckily, I have a Nokia to tide me over, but as I suspect my Note may be bricked, I don't really want to have to spend around 20000 rupees buying a new phone. I presume I may need to use Odin or a similar program to install custom recovery , but I don't know the correct files I should use and what to do, so as not to cause any more damage :/
I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me, so I can use my phone again, preferably someone who is willing to explain, considering I do admit I'm basically a noob at this and probably shouldn't have been so idiotic as to have attempted it in the first place.
Thank you in advance,
Sakshi
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
I found a helpful guide that may help you restore stock firmware on your phone:
[STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1place,Latest 4.1.*
Although the guide is a bit dated, the same procedure should still apply.
Good Luck! - gsstudios

First of all, I'd like to say that I know very little about how Android, electronics or mobile phones work in general, so everything I've done has been from internet tutorials. Please don't use any jargon as I probably won't know what you mean. ELI5.
A few days ago, I tried to root my phone and it didn't work. As a result the phone went into a boot loop and I didn't know how to fix it. The long and short of it was that I ended up flashing the stock firmware onto my phone and basically doing a complete factory reset. After some time trying this I managed to get the phone to start up and I was able to access the interface and all that. Unfortunately, my WiFi wasn't working (the button would simply turn off whenever I turned it on) so I had no way to download the most recent updates or apps or anything like that. After following several tutorials on how to fix this, such as flashing the modems and bootloader, I still wasn't having any luck. So I tried something that proved to cause even more problems - I tried to install a new kernel. Now my phone won't even boot past the logo. I probably didn't install the right one, but what can I say, it's not very clear which one I need.
Now I'd like to point out that as a layman who just wants his phone to work again, half of the time I don't understand what I'm doing or whether or not I'm doing it right. In other words, I realise that I've probably messed up my phone, but what can I do? I can't take it to a technician because I don't have the money for that, I can't buy a new phone for the same reason and I can't phone up and ask for a replacement because the warranty expired ages ago and I don't have the original documents here.
I've installed the Team Win Recovery Project on my phone and I have Odin installed on my PC as well.
TLDR; yes, I know I'm an idiot and I don't appreciate you telling me. I'd like to reset my phone to how it was before - the normal firmware, the normal kernel and all that, but I'd still like to have root access and keep the TWRP recovery mode too.

You'll probably need more information, so if you do just let me know and, if possible, where I can find it.
I have some good news. I managed to flash the firmware again and now I can access the phone again. However, the WiFi problem persists. I've tried looking on the internet for a solution, but I can't find one. I've tried flashing the modem and all that stuff, but it still doesn't work.
Oh, and by the way, I no longer have TWRP and I don't think I have root access anymore either (I had to do a data partition wipe as well).
I'd really appreciate a reply from someone. I've tried everything, but to no avail.

Hi engloa,
It's OK, I've fixed the problem now; I installed a different ROM and now it works fine. Thanks anyway though.
First of all, sorry if I am posting this in the wrong thread or wrong area.
I'm seriously depressed and deprived of sleep because I finally rooted my phone and everything went wrong.
Yeah, I fell in with that crowd. Shame on me, i know ,_,
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900W8 is the victim. I downloaded CF AUTO ROOT HLTECAN HLTEUB SMN900W8 which, apparently, should have had no problem. Used Odin 3.07 on my laptop and the process was smooth and quick. Buuuut of course my phone got mostly wiped (no surprise here, totally worth the root). Along with that wipe came the rage of Google and Samsung.. don't know why but most apps just force close when I try to open them.
Long-story short I need to regain access to my Google account, my messages (so I can, you know, message my grandmother so she can pick me up at the university) and the ability to have a functional good phone.
I've learned my lesson, I'm leaving this rooting stuff to the more apt. However I need guidance on how to what I believe is called "flash" the system back into having all the permissions it used to have. Not sure what I'm talking about any more.
If it is possible to keep the root and somehow fix the problem (regain access to basic services such as messages and play store) that'd be nice. But really, I just wanna travel back in time and forget this ever happened so late at night that it's almost morning and my feelings are extra hurt.
Hello Dear ,
Its ok just re install the official rom for ur device n900w8 after that just do a full for ur device through stock recovery then install twrp through odin in AP tap from this link
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote3canada.html
After that boot ur phone to custom recovery then install supersu from this link
https://download.chainfire.eu/743/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip
That's all for rooting ur device mate
Thank You ,
Thanks for the help! But I'm still a bit lost. I did as you suggested and found the 5.0 stock firmware, which I am currently downloading. I will open Odin, plug in my phone, put the firmware file in the AP slot and install it from the download screen on my phone. Same process as the rooting that failed earlier.
However, I don't get the TWRP part.
"after that just do a full for ur device through stock recovery then install twrp through odin in AP tap from this link"
Is that step necessary, or is it just in case I want to try rooting my device again? Also, in the list you provided doesn't seem to be 5.0/lollipop for the phone. But then again, I'm not entirely sure how all that works.
Thanks again!
Installing the Stock firmware did not work. Once the phone boots, everything stops working unexpectedly.
Oh well, I guess it's time to take it to a store ,_,
Thanks anyways!
I am in utter shock. For some strange reason, factory reset worked and my phonne is ok. Not sure how... but it actually worked!
Nice to hear that mate congrats then
have elephone p2000 with some custom rom on it and working stock recovery. than i flash new rom called resrom 1.5, rooted BUT internal storage is access denied and 0kb. Just to say that my usb port is broken and will be hard to replace it because someone was trying to make it work and totaly screwed up.
So anyway I cannot connect to a pc and fix things. Next, cant access recovery, tried to flash new one but to no avail. I am still rooted but even when using some apk to flash new rom or recovery i get msgs like "not enough space" or nothing is happening.

Play store ok, calls and the rest is fine, apk i am using: mobileuncle, rashr, auto flasher but nothing gets job done, flashyfy doesn't work and many others. I was looking into init files saw some guide but don t want to mess things even more so i gave up, also wanting to flash boot.img but no proper or functional apk for it.
somethimes on phone start stuck in a loop of screen turn on for 20 sec and then off and its like that until i remove battery, all before rom logo, same thing if i try use buttons combination for recovery or whatever i press in any combination nothing changes.
This is not my first smartphone but is of this kind and funny companies, had problems before with Sony, Samsung but in this extent never, always find YOU guys everybody clever in some fields and as a community more than THE BEST, as you can see i dont post or seek answers by asking, i rather research until now. I fell hopeless, useless and never more stupid, or i m just tired of looking for the answer. In some other case i would give it to my child to play the games an to hell with this phone but its my wife's and she dont want to by a new phone for some reason. Help me to be the man of the house again, kidding, loosing it....
I think I gave you overall picture of the phone state and someone might show me the way to have fully working phone. I forgot, if you are wondering how do i charge battery, well I take it out twice a day and charging on the base of other broken phone, that part i did cover, help me with the rest.
p.s my SD card is working most of the time so this is my only connection to a pc....

Hello, thanks for a tip, I ll try that.:good:
any idea where to go with this problem of mine, on xda i mean, can you point me to a specific developer........
Hi XDA Community!
I can find information to about almost single topic, but the big problem is, i dont know where exactly to start with and the correct order of all of these steps.
What i wanna do is, like on a pc, format the whole phone, delete everything and set up a custom rom and root the phone.
My first step was trying to root it because i dont know if the root is related to the OS or to the phone kernel.....
I tried the CF-Autoroot procedure from XDA-Forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803 but i experience the same issue as many other users. When i click start the process starts, but gets stuck immediately when it comes to the imaging step. Then i get no response from my phone or Odin anymore, the bar wont process for hours.
I tried different USB ports, same result. But i can exchange data from phone OS to pc via USB without problems !
So im kind of thrown back now and i dont know what to do or where to start. Can anyone help me ?
5 Years ago i cooked a rom for my Sony Xperia X1 and put it on my phone without any problems lol, and now with Samsung i get only problems.....

I tried to unroot my phone but it made my play store crash consistently so i tried and tried to wipe my device and tried to install a stock rom (i was completely new to android so i chose the wrong one i think) and it now doesn't start it just gets stuck on the boot screen that says galaxy fit. now i have a usb cable and i plugged it in and installed odin as per the guide for newbies (found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606380) but my phone isn't showing up. I have installed the appropriate drivers as far as i'm aware and googling doesn't offer any results that are useful to me. My phone's stock rom is S5670VAUQ2 which i managed to find on an alternative to sammobile (i don't really want to pay for one download, and they don't give me the option to do a slow download which i thought they used to) all help is much appreciated and hopefully there are still people who have this phone thanks
