Hmnn...interesting I was sure it had to do with the format/user data in the CWM touch, but if you booted fine after that I guess I am wrong. Wonder what the issue is with that kernal? Are you on 1.1 or 1.2 (I think only 1.2 had the cwm touch, but I don't know as I went straight from the chainfire kernal to angelom's 1.2...).

I have flashed other ROM's but ONLY ICS roms....I have not tried to downgrade back to gingerbread...

I think the better option is change the tittle of this post: Warning Kernel or similar ;) in Spain, the people brick the note too...

Best regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] crawlgsx:
I don't get it? That you can install CWM via ADB and install custom roms and kernels/root just like this one? Only with a smaller dev community and less roms?

I wasn't eligible for an upgrade so maybe it was different for me, But I didn't even consider the ATT Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
LInk for download already are removed....

And Title changed now
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] alex1-2-3-4:
That's just not true, I was on TRR 1.6, including the 1.2 kernel,

flashed AbyssNote 3.9 as advised by Chris, then restored my

nandroid RR22.

No issues whatsoever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bigbiff:
Mostly local warranty processing for us in the US I suppose, at least for my peace of mind.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kgvico:
You lucky, your note got a strong chip.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] apnoia:
btw also a lot of samsung e4gt got bricked reported while formatting data partition in new touch recovery on ics leak or cm9.

it seems is better to avoid combining touch recovery with ics kernels until at least things get more clear on why this happening on sii/note hardware
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
Whoever wants to can send me a pm for the link kernel that resets the counter and removes the yellow triangle (the one yesterday that I have flashed at least ten times and also the user tanoxxx and works well, not what brick my phone)

Of course for those who have the phone brick
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] crankshaft:
Does that just remove the counter and triangle? I assume it doesn't fix the issue?

My device doesn't have the triangle and the counter says no. I also can't even boot into CWM, can get into download mode though. Spoke to my local Samsung service centre today and they're happy to have me return it, I just told them my computer crashed during a Keis update! Only problem I have is getting there, it's only about 6 miles from me but closes the same time I finish work!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] be_vigilant:
i was on the aosp rom and flashed angel kernel 1.1 and then 1.2 had 0 problems was running perfect. When the first couple of bricks came in i immediately restored my gingerbread nandroid using the touch CWM in angel ICS 1.2 kernel. No problems here. Restored perfectly for me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] daxmedflax:
Ok, so I just flashed abyss 3.9 via touch recovery (angelom v 1.1) and rebootet recovery. Got redpill (phew..), and from redpill I flashed the same ICS ROM I already had on my phone, ROMOV ICS V1.

Everything seems to be ok. Does this mean I am now in the clear?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] crawlgsx:
Ahh I gotcha. I can understand that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] smalmagal:
Hey! I'm from Maine too. You wouldn't happen to know any places around the Portland area that do Samsung phone repairs? I really don't want to go through the hassle of sending it back through the mail.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gominolo2002:
@Angelom, you reanimated your note? chris? Any notice?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
Today I borrowed a programmer chip type JTAG from a friend that have a Repair phone shop. I will try tomorrow

@Chris X.

It has ruined the partition table
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
Cool Angelom congrats ;)

I dont know, whether a updaterscript with formatting command has impacts at all on the chip?!?!!?

edit:

Do you mean I have no chance with formatting commands? I've tried it 1000 times to flash with *.pit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
You can still try .... What I was trying to do, before fll brick, was precisely to reprogram the partition table
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ssss69:
For using jtag programmer you need to solder am I true?

Anyway there must be a way to reset table partition and reformat the nand..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
You're right with the table.

There are much more block corruptions. 0,2,5 now blk8.

Damn :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
@ssss69

1) Yes

2) it's difficult

@Chris X.

Surely the partition table is corrupt
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Siriack:
I was on Criskelo with 1.1 and updated to 1.2 with CWM and no issues. CWM was acting up on 1.1 but I was able to flash to 1.2

After issues started to show up, I used Mobile Odin to flash CF Repack. Now I'm on aosp.

Guess I'm also one of the few lucky ones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
So great! Now I'm hard bricked my phone with a reworked *.pit file.

That's exactly what I had feared.

Tomorrow I'll get a new Note (to brick it :p)

I hope you have more luck with the JTAG.

edit:

I think, if we have a JTAG Box so could be more risk.

Greets
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
I understand you, you're like me ... I hope that with jtag do liven
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Siriack:
+1

Luckily I did not format with 1.2 CWM and was able to boot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] SkipKelley:

Let us know how the JTAG goes. I'm holding off sending mine to Samsung if the JTAG doesn't work. Good luck and my hope go with you.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eitama:
I am wondering, shouldn't the PIT + Repartition in Odin fix the partition corruption?

Maybe it's not doing it for some reason. Can this be solved manually with some adb commands?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kgvico:
Yes, it should be. And it shows success after the Odin flash, but the fact is that the problem of partition corruption still exists. Looking for solution also.

Edit, OT: I bought my note here in xda marketplace, it was originally from Poland, I don't have proof of purchase, can I still honor for Samsung's warranty here in united states??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eitama:
Personally, I have no warrenty on my device, luckily I am not affected.

If I was, I'd buy a JTAG RIFF unit and teach myself how to use it.

Not a nice solution I know, but we really need to understand what happened here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] graemeg:
Hey chaps, just logged on and missed all this, what exactly is going on, ive seen something about notes being bricked, is it this stock kernel thats bricking them or something else, i downloaded this kernel day or 2 bk but never flashed it, or is it a problem with one of the roms ??????

yeah, i have found no other ways but to send my SGN back to Sammy(Finally). And know what? Even their technician also having trouble in hard-resetting the phone. And claim that it could be a hardware problem.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Why don't you try to contact these guys if all else fails:

http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-note-jtag-brick-repair/

JTag unbricking would cost you 50 bucks + shipping, much less then dishing out money for a new phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
There is a 90% chance, that the partition table was damaged.

It seems so (unfortunately) the *.pit File doesnt repair it.

So there are I/O errors, because damaged blocks/sectors.

Thats different, many user got a stuck @ factoryfs others @ datafs and others had a hard brick. Its important where are these damaged blocks/sectors.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] clarkk:
It does appear that it really damaged the flash. Did everybody who has a broken note abort the wipe? I'm wondering if it was actually doing it but just going very very slowly and if leaving it until it completed would have actually worked!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] smalmagal:
It's very possible...though I knew something was wrong immediately when it took longer than the few or so seconds it usually does to do a cache wipe...the last thing I thought about was killing my phone when I stopped it. I'll mail it out in a few days, and hope for the best!

And the funny thing is, it's not even the cache that's borked...it's the /data...and hardcore too. I never did a /data wipe.

Edit: It's impossible to upload a new data.img as well...with a .pit or by repartitioning. Does not work. And I think this is probably all been said before, but anyway.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] graemeg:
Thankfully my note is insured for everything. Hardware failure. Lcd. Water damage. Theft etc for 8quid a month so im lucky if out goes wrong the note finds its way down a loo and i get a new one.

Anyone owning a phone like this really should get a good insurer coz its carelessness like this that could cost you.

I trust this kernel is now dead and buried and wont be reappearing any time in the future.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] crawlgsx:
*doh* I unfortunately don't. Glad to see another Note in Maine, hope you get it fixed!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] anilisanil:
Bad news from my side:

Guys in Pune refused to honour the warrenty. My custom count is 21. They said it is OK if it is 3-5 but 21 is too much.

They tired JTAGging too but it failed, they said the flash memory might have been damaged and that it would cost me 8600 INR (180$) to get it repaired and that they would try and give some discount on this.

I bought some time and came back to reset the binary counter, but mine did not arrive yet, so if the JIG arrives before 3 tomorrow, I can send it under warranty but if I dont, then I need to cough out the money.

So it is better to get the custom binary counter reset.

NC: could you please talk to your source and see if he can help me?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hakimkkb4u:
I had only software warranty...

Now what about me...

if there is an hardware failure.. they won't do it for free...

am i rite...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] AzureD:
angelom's counter-reset kernel worked for me. Now I'm at custom=0 and original Samsung's kernel so I'm taking my phone this afternoon for repair. If you PM him he'll send it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] anilisanil:
why dont you post it here? it is only fair! I will PM him anyway. Thanks for the heads up!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] AzureD:
I think it should be his decission, he told us to asked for it privately, I guess he doesn't want to make it public (I wouldn't after all what happened).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr_derqami:
i did try sgs2 rom /pit file , i thought the same way (2 days before) which lead a complete brick... a Note incompatible with life :) no boot, no N700 logo, no charging logo... the guys from repairment could boot in download mod , with jtag. but the problem exists. it hangs on flashing data.image.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] anilisanil:
Completely understand!! no problems ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
first of course its the wrong partition table, second you used a bootloader for the SGS2.

If you want to repair it, just flash the unfriendly bootloader from here.

but pls note, everthing what you must do is "blind".

- take battery out

- put in

- press Volume down + Home + Power (all @ the same time for ~10sec.)

- release them

- now press Volume up once again

- connect the phone with the pc and Odin

- wait for "added"

- flash unfriendly bootloader and orig. *.pit

Thats it!

If there are coming no screen, take out the batt. again. Of course you can use an USB-JIG.

edit:

Oh I saw it too late. The JTAG guy got it to download mode. But it sound no good, if he cant solved the problems.

I'll wait for angelom's answer. He got a JTAG box.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] AzureD:
Quite interesting, I wish I was able to throw something useful in, I just can tell that to my limited understanding, it sounded right :)

Im wondering now, that is this an issue related to the chinese leak itself? with both cf and angelom kernel based out of it. because i see a few other threads and posts around saying some ppl are not having setting permissions or are unable to move to another firmware being on cf kernel also.

not sure, we need to confirm this as well.. before more damage is done.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] NoRmAlY_CrAzY:

I can get to cwm ifI turnoff ........ Really don't know which way to turn thanks I have never delete cache or data
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] anilisanil:
I can confirm that JTAG did not work. I'd been to the Samsung service and they did try JTAG but it failed too. I am not sure what procedure they follow, but for for what ever they did which took close to one hour, it failed. After which they confirmed that motherboard has to be replaced!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
what a monster....wtf :eek:

I am still on v1.2 since 4 days now...time to step back to CF, before I forget the trouble and start to restore a nand or sthg. else
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
@ anilisanil

ThX for your feedback. I was afraid of.

@ angelom

We should stop the whole ****ing development on a damn leak. I'm not a smart-aleck but few weeks ago, I had a bad feeling and I was wondering how far we have ever come. I can only hope that the leaker (beta test man) was punished by Samsung

It makes no sense. The collateral damage is too high!

If you're right...here is the source of all evil:

http://bbs.gfan.com/android-3646479-1-1.html

Its in chinese. Hope here are chinese users and they can help us to contact the leaker there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] btyork:
That doesn't seem proper... I mean, you can assume that the leak is the culprit here... or that a bad set of devices went out with a chip that couldn't handle what you guys had produced. I just hate seeing Dev's bummed because they ruined a few devices... We should ALL know what we're doing well enough to know the dangers...

It does stink, however, that it came to this. I saw the same thing happen when the HD2 started rolling out a million ROMs.

This puts a little fear in me, however, as I've been on the ICS leak since CF repacked it (and am currently using RR_ICS.... I'm hesitate to go back to Gingerbread, but frankly if I Mobile Odin back to a stock GB ROM and just inject root+SU I'd be okay, right? CWM is the culprit here, amirite?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
I will not step back to GB! I am on ICS and afaik this is no prob as long as you use chainfires CF kernel - don't panic ;)

On the other hand people could just STOP all the flashing, step back to Stock GB, wait for official ICS and update via OTA or KIES --> of course no risk to brick anything :)

Yes you're so right!

But we need a little help from the chinese leaker because somebody has to have the sources of the ****ing leak.

Pls guys have no fear.

Look @ eybee I said the right.

May be we were too greedy.

I can not do much more here.

Today I will make a NAND backup of the RocketRom v22 by Eybee.

I can then upload it for you.

All what you need for the flash is a working cwm-recovery (by CF-Kernel or the latest Angelom GB-Kernel)

You can flash the AbyssNote kernel:

This *.tar.md5 is for Odin! Put it in "PDA". DONT TRY IT WITH *.PIT OR OTHER FILES!

Then pls try it again to flash a nandroid backup but I do not promise anything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MarcinXDA:
Tango down.

I bricked my device like others did. I tried all know methods without satisfying results. Then I tried manny07 method and I've been able to make it as stock as possible. Now I have bootloop, but I have also stock samsung recovery, counter still 0.

I used kl8 wipe rom several times with 16gb.pit and all parts together or single part. Always blocked on factoryfs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ziko:
@all

i have flashed this kernel too, v1.1 and v1.2.

Till now there is no issue, nothing, all is normal.

Just flashed back GB ROM and all is working.

In other posts, poeple says to me i made an "overkill" with flashing.

I flash all things with Abyss 3.9

In recovery i flash the Abyss 3.9, reboot recovery, wipe all inclusive "voltage settings" and battery status, flash the new ROM, reboot in recovery and allways after flash the LP1 kernel and reboot system.

With this, my Note is still allive and all is working, no partial root, nothing wrong with it.

I think that my wiping the "voltage settings" prevent the chips on my Note to be damaged with to high voltage.

Can this be possible?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] btyork:
That seems unlikely. The issue lies with the touch recovery. Since you always flash from red pill, you don't have issues. The touch recovery is corrupting the nand.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
Now I've started the upload of the NAND backup of Eybee's v22 GB Rom.

ETA: ~3h (I'm not @ home, I'm on vacation)
