That's good to hear from the best. Thanks again for your wonderful work. By the way touch recovery is siiickk.... :thumbup:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Cetin:
Weird!

Ok,I think without going via mobile odin flashing cf-repack to reach full root on imilka is NOT possible right now.

But the fact that other ics roms doesnt need cf-repack before is that what I don´t understand. They are fully rootet without cf-repack.

Thats what I experienced from GB-->chinese leak (with root)-->Midnote 2.0(with root)-->imilka aosp (no root)-->installed mobile odin flashed cf-repack then flashed back imilka --> Full Root on imilka! Thats weird for a noob like me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] grgsiocl:
Now you can extract the zimage from this kernel and pate it in ROM zip file and then flash. You should be having full root. I don't think so, you should be flashing any chinese repack etc....

But make sure, you should modify the updater.script in metainf to flash this kernel

Unfortunately I have full briked my Note, when I have completed several flashes of the Stock kernel changes

No sign of life:

No download mode even with a jig

No sign of battery charge

No recognition by the PC
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] manny07:

did you brick it with the new version you told today that is in test ?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
Yes

Unfortunately, in an attempt to solve the problem something went wrong
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] apnoia:
jtag restore

As a last resort for those who bricked their devices and doesn't have warranty you may try to find someone with riff jtag. As far as I know riff box does support nand read/write and jtag io on S5PV310 cpus so even phones that can't be turned on can be restored.

You may find someone with the box close to you on maker website. The only thing you probably need is full nand image in working state from another phone and efs backup from your phone to restore your imei.

It shouldn't cost a lot I think. Maybe someone already tried this?

Bad news, sorry to hear that. I'm not sure but i think the battery might not charge whilst its in download mode or soft-bricked, could it just be that its flat and an external battery charger might help?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bigbiff:
I am beginning to think that while reading this thread, most people seem to just have problems with getting all the partitions properly formatted and aligned with the PIT flash? It must be coincidental for the couple of us that has the issue where our phone's won't turn on. Since issues aren't consistent, I don't believe we have overwrote the bootloader of the phone, but maybe we were victims of some hardware failure at the time of flashing the kernel. I am not sure a JTAG repair would work on these phones. I wish we had an indicator on whether power was flowing from the battery to the board to verify this. Good luck guys and careful flashing. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] angelom:
Unfortunately these things can happen, now I will see what to do ...

Probably because I went to touch a hidden partition, something happened.

Last night I tried 10 times and had gone well. Today I made ​​another change and it is probably this that created the problem ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mfractal:
well maybe at least you can zero in on the issue since you know the exact change that caused the brick.

solution

Friends,

I think this is the solution.. After trying for 2 days I realised today there is no point in trying different things. best is to give the phone to samsung to repair

I had 10 binary counts, and I just flashed KL8 kernel, modem, bootloader and then the pda, so i got a n7000 logo without triangle, and gave it to samsung. they are replacing the motherboard because the software/firmware cannot be loaded.

the phone has 3 parts, lcd, battery and motherboard which has everything in it, so basically they will change the motherboard almost like new.

(they are not looking at the count, so i dont think you even need a jig etc.) just tell them, you were updating firmware and the phone crashed, that is why you see update firmware via kies message.

if your phone is under warranty which i presume it is, please go to the samsung service centre and they will give you back the phone with a new motherboard in 48 hours. I get back mine tomorrow.

I saw a few other members who did this, I feel its the best solution, and the safest.. also keeps it clean for future use

No point in accussing please. we are humans, and make mistakes, the whole point of having an android and hacking rooting is to explore and learn, and this experience has amplified my knowledge a lot.. maybe more than what i learnt in last 2 yrs.

Samsung guys wont see the binary count etc. they will replace your motherboard of phone , and you will have it in 24-48 hours. a few other members did it. its the best way to have a great sleep!

take care!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] KaranKapoor:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] androidindian:
bro, no point in trying and making things worse. just load the KL8 bootloader, modem, kernel and then the pda with 16gb pit and give to samsung for repair, they will change the motherboard :D

bro, add me on gtalk.. sending you pm. will tell you what i did to make it easier for you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] NoRmAlY_CrAzY:
Just a quick heads up for guys in India,contacted a friend who works for samsung he told that no matter if the triangle is there or not,you can take the phone there and tell them its not booting after an update from kies and they get your note back to life.The are not concerned/don't know all these things,they only know to perform there routine tasks like replacing hardware,flashing software etc.

Don't know about other countries.

Just one question does Samsung honor international warranty??If yes,these devices can be shipped to India and repaired under warranty? Just a suggestion,dnt knw abt shipping cost etc so no bashing plz.

Edit:have done the same on a friends galaxy sl,after he bricked as he flashed something which was meant for galaxy S
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] envyofindia:
Thanks ... It seems this is the only way to go! ... But I fully agree with you that no one's to be blamed .... This is part of the game and we wanted to play it that's what why we bought android and not iphone!

What do you mean by "pdate crashed"? Also, I did not have any yellow triangle / binary count on my phone since I never rooted / flashed anything through Odin (all was done through mobile Odin) ... so can I just strainght away hand over my phone to them with your story that it crashed while I was updating firmware via kies (PC or OTA?) ... Thanks in advance for your guidance ... I just want to make sure I cook the right story before them .... Cheers ....Envy

Thank god i've flashed GB as fast as I could!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] androidindian:
pdate= phone * spelling error

Yeah I dont think they are really concerned about binary count etc. but I played safe by flashing kernel,modem, bootloader etc of KL8, so there is no triangle. it shows update firmware via recovery.

sending to india to do this, sounds a bit difficult, but i saw some other members in europe this morning who gave their phone and its getting replaced by a new motherboard. so i dont think it should be an issue.

and yeah bro, just give your phone to them saying it crashed while updating on kies :) simple ! thanks a lot mate

hey guys bad news im afraid just tried to flash a kj4 version ontop of the kj8 that had booted through pc odin 1.87 flashed said restarting and now its hardbricked so even if you can get onto nstock gb you will hardbrick if you try to flashing anything else
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
That's what I'm afraid. Probably there are several damaged blocks.

It seems so, that we must go to Samsung for change the motherboard.

Maybe the JTAG could not help us.

@ this moment I'm on AbyssNote 4.2 and now I'll try to flash my mod. KL7 (also with format some blocks) but the flash takes too long. I think, I'll stuck again after the reboot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] androidindian:
best and safest is to go to samsung. much better option than trying out. they will help us :)

Please post step by step how you got to GB. Did you wipe? factory reset? in what order etc. Thank you :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Chris X.:
Now it stucks @ Kernel (Odin PC).

Forget it. If Im reach the blocks of boot(loader), then I've killed my phone really.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lorekarf:
im on ICS team Rrom v1.5 with no particular kernel installed

i think that to go back to gb safely you need to have on your sd abyss kernel 3.9 and a gb nandroid backup

then you start in recovery mode with the 3 combo buttons and you install kernel abyss 3.9

at this stage you restart only the recovery through the advanced options

then you should have the redpill recovery of angelom and you should restore your nandroid backup

but im very scared so i hope that some dev will confirm this procedure

and that i havent forgotten anything

:P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] alesscam:
Guy's...i had out to long time...from few day i'm running ICs rom + Angelom 1.2 kernel ICS china version....

What do you recommend for a return to GB rom?

or you should not do anything?

thanks for help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Neither that, nor any other going-back-to-GB procedure will work. You'll end up with a bricked Note.

I wouldn't try anything right now if I were you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lorekarf:
i forgot to mention that i didnt install any specific kernel on the v 1.5

No, it's not true, I went back to kingdroid 6.0 having angelom version 1.0. My steps: flash cf kernel zlp1 --> flash abyss 3.9 --> reboot to recovery --> flash kingdroid --> wipe data + wipe cache + wipe dalvik --> ok, no problem till now (2 days)

Angelom, Chris, I'm sorry for what has happened to your galaxy note.

Thanks a lot anyway for your fantastic job. Samsung takes too much time to deliver new ROM'S on "old" models; this is absolutely absurd in my opinion. And the consequences are evident.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
I got back from v1.0 with no problems. But guys on 1.1 and 1.2 are fcuked...no turning back.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] NoRmAlY_CrAzY:
I was on AOSP(with the base ROM included cf-kernel from china not on angelom) and reverted back to GB after hearing all this.

Simple process if u have a GB nandroid.

No need for any extra recovery(redpill etc.)CWM would be fine.

1)Boot into Recovery and restore ur GB android.

2)It will show some error at the point when restoring system.It's normal.

3)Now pull out battery for 5 secs and then again boot into recovery.

4)Now restore the very same backup that showed you error.(No other backup if u have multiple).

5)Everything will go fine and you will be back to GB

NOTE:THIS IS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T FLASHED THE ANGELOM KERNEL

DISCLAIMER:It worked fine for me but I don't take any responsibility.:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
So why post it here, I wonder...?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jon3sh:
No its not you can still go back to cf root kernel I did wipe cache and dalvik then flashed cf kernel using cwm recovery.

..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] NoRmAlY_CrAzY:
Because after reading this thread people on ICS are getting worried and are flashing other kernels/recoveries which might do some damage to a device that is fine and can be restored easily.

Also I quoted the reply to the question of that guy.I think itz no harm if u can help someone whos not clear when a bit of chaos is on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] alesscam:
Sorry mate,

but i can go back to Cf root kernel or not??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] razorhanny:
Yes mate, it makes all the difference!

Just reboot to recovery and then:

Full wipe

Flash Franco Kernel #8

Reboot recovery

Flash GB Rocket Rom v22

Full wipe

Done!

That's What I did and I'm loving the smoothness and stability and general aesthetics of my note more than every!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mumboender:
I think it has to do with using the new CWM on the angelom kernals. I flashed version 1.2 but did not do a wipe when I finished. My ROM, still booted, but when I saw all the issues, I flashed CriskeloRom beta 1 version 3 that takes me back to Chainfire's kernal and the old non-touch CWM. I have not had any issues and have wiped, formatted, etc on the old CWM and Chainfire kernal. I have also flashed two other ROMs and still no issues.

I think the format user data function in the new touch CWM/Angelom kernal must have been what was bricking devices..because I have been no worse even after flashing the the corrupted kernal. Thoughts?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mblnx:
That's not true, I went from v1.1 and 1.2 back to CF several times, the only thing is I never used can to do any updates, I always flashed everything through mobile Odin.

Also the problem appears to happen when you try to format partitions through cwm, so I don't think it's wise to wipe everything before flashing a new kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] alesscam:
ok mate, I am now on Kernel 1.2

so I could flash another rom ICS with Cf-root without problem ... right?

Having flashed rom Criskelo. Zip with CWMmanager or Cwm recovery??

Dear Friends,

I have luckily returned back to a GB rom from Rocket ICS v1.5+Angelom ICS kernel v1.1 by flashing Angelom GB Abyss kernel v4.0 and then flashing Chris X.'s GB rom... All went ok... So v1.2 is the most guilty one...

Do it your own Risk !!!

1- Boot to CWM ( Angelom ICS kernel v1.1 )

2- Flashed directly Angelom Abyss v4.0 kernel and dont reboot

3- While in CWM, press and hold volume up+home+power button to enter CWM again

4- Wipe everything and flash a GB Custom Rom then reboot...

I am not responsible if u brick ur phone even u r on Angelom v1.1 !!!

I am very sad for bricked gnotes but no one has right to blame Angelom... We all have to know the risk of flashing... Angelom is a very talented and kind developer... I am on Chris x.'s v1.7 GB rom+Angelom Abyss v4.0 right now...

Kind regards.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mumboender:
Here is the thing...have you done anything with the touch CWM on kernal 1.2? I only booted into the TOUCH CWM and immediately installed Criskelo's Rom. I DID NOT format user data. DID NOT wipe ANY CACHE's! I just flashed back. After I flashed back, and rebooted completely into Criskelo's ROM, then I rebooted back into the OLD CWM the non-TOUCH version. From there I formatted user data, and wiped caches. I have had no issues since. So I do think it is purely a problem with kernal 1.2 and the new CWM and how it formats.

I probably wouldn't have flashed back immediately if I had continued reading, but I flashed back almost immediately after others were having issues. Luckily my system is to format user data before I flash a new ROM and NOT after so the ONLY time I ever went into the CWM from the new kernal was to flash back to Criskelo and the old chainfire kernal (which is included in that ROM)....

Best of luck...

New Note for me

I'm one of the brickers. Being here in the states, I've decided to buy an AT&T Note and start fresh. I had gotten an intenational version and am glad for all the fun I have had on it. I'll be sending it out to get repaired, was going to be via jtag, but now to Samsung since it looks like a motherboard repacement. Then on to eBay or maybe a backup device for testing.

I do want to say Thank You to all the Devleopers. I knew what I was getting into using a beta version of a release for ICS and wnat thank you for your work on getting it as far as it was. I hope you continue the fine work and keep pushing the edges for the rest of us. I see someone has already ported JKays kernal to the I717 and I hope the roms there are as good as the ones I had here.

Thank you all. Hope to see some of you on the AT&T side.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bigbiff:
I am debating to do what you did because I am in the US too. I am using my accidental insurance clause since I believe it was due to an accidental surge while connect to my computer, not the flashing itself (an unfortunate consequence I do say). I was thinking I might sell the replacement and go with ATT, but w/o a safe way to flash w/o increasing the counter, I am not sure if this is the way to go.
