It is what I'm trying to do ... First of all I'm trying to reset the counter and remove the yellow triangle directly by the kernel, with a lower level. Then I see that I can do to repartition correctly ....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] suxi:
No, this doesn't help either, as I described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23230118&postcount=20

To quickly wrap it up:

ODIN gets stuck flashing any stock rom (single or multi part) at flashing the factoryfs.img

I can flash single kernels, modems, CSC and I can re-partition with a pit file.

For example I can flash the GB Abyss 4.1 and get the recovery mode. From there I can format the /system /data/ partitions.

I can't restore a nandroid because it halts with an error /data read only.

I can't flash anything else.

For me it looks as the read only /data partition is the problem. Any ideas on that?

At least I am not alone :)

Hoping for a cure!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] androidindian:
awesome thanks a lot mate! so many of us who are stuck will be really grateful to you . thank you for your time! really looking forward.. :)

Have you tried a Chainfire CF-root Kernel instead of an Abyss?

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

No high horse here, I HAD the same problem after installing your 1.6 update. And yes, it took me hours, but now I have a stable working Note again on GB, as I'm fed up with the ICS-leaks for the moment.

So don't point your finger at me, it seems that the troubles come in different types and gradations.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] smalmagal:
Well, I think most of us with the /data partition corruption problem have tried flashing just about everything we can get our hands on...and it's not working. I, and many others who can get into download/recovery REFUSE to believe we have bricks on our hands...so, I'm gonna wait till the end of the week to see what happens, or I'll end up sending my phone to Samsung...which sucks too now, because I have a custom binary count of 2, flashing the Chainfire repack kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] brockyneo:
trying now thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] suxi:
The second last post above this one from smalmagal answers it best. We've done it all ;)

You don't want to see my binary counter ...

EDIT: @brockyneo, That most likely won't do it. I've tried it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eliot_11:
encouragement guys, it seems that we are more than 10 with full brick this has to be solved. We are with you Chris X, we have to fix it!

has opened some post about who has full brick?

sorry for my english
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] stesteste:
Hi guys at what stage did you get the brick problem was it soon as you installed 1.2 kernal or was it when trying to install different rom after flashing 1.2 or something else as i am wanting to get of ics now but dont want to install gb and then brick mine i allready lost root cwm superuser and cant get it back

comments will help me understand cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] smalmagal:
No one knows what really went wrong, including angelom himself. It happened for me after I flashed the kernel, and then I went in to wipe my /cache partition. It got hung up, and I cut my phone off back into recovery, and that's when it all went wrong. Now /cache seems fine, but the /data partition in main problem.

I would just recommend staying away from anything ICS for a while, which is what I should of done. I knew flashing something not even meant for this phone would cause problems in the long run.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] brockyneo:
has anyone tried chainfire see if he can work his magic
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] smalmagal:
As far as I'm concerned, he's the one that caused this "magic" you speak of in the first place. He brought us a leaked version of ICS, already full of bugs, so it was just asking for trouble. And now with this kernel, something like the perfect storm took place. No one could have predicted it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] tomhster:
And what exactly does your Note do when you push the Power on? Mine bootlooped forever from the "stars-animation" to the Samsung-logo and back.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eliot_11:
my experience is similar to yours. first I flashed the kernel, then I went to do wipe cache. It got hung up, I turned it off, and since then it is not showing signs of life..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] smalmagal:
Mine bootloops at Samsung logo...so that tells me it's not even getting to /system. I think? So if someone could find a sure fire way to repartition the entire phone without completely destroying it, I think most of us will be saved!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hakimkkb4u:
Agree with you...

Tried everything... now I will wait for 2-3 days... then at-last I have to send it to Samsung...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] [David]:
I'm still asking myself why don't you wait for official N7000 ICS release instead of leaked one that may cause this s**t to your devices!

I hope you will unbrick your devices soon

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] tanoxxx:
My bad experience:

I accidentally interrupted a factory resect and from this moment I can not flash with Odin .. in detail ....

I can do:

1a

I can successfully flash a firmware with Odin with only one file

2a

I can successfully flash a kernel with Odin

3a

I can go to recovery, any, either Samsung or CWM 3E recovery if i flash to CF-Root Kernel

4a

I recorey files from flash, cooked and kernels.

I can not do:

1b

I can not flash with success with Odin firrmware with more file and Pit, Odin stuck on "data.img"

2b

I can not restore a backup nandroid, because I get I get the following errors:

Error while restoring / date!

E: Can not open / chace / recovery / log

E: Can not open / chace / recovery / log

E: Can not open / chace / recovery / last _log

E: Can not open / chace / recovery / last _log

3b

I can not load the system, i can not turn on the Notes, only sometimes into Boot loop and other time stuck on written "Notes Galaxy Samsung GT-N7000"

Other problems:

- If I make the point

1a

after the phone sometimes goes directly into Boot loop, other time go to 3E Samsung recovery and I get the following errors:

"And: failed to mount / data (Unknown error: 0)"

"E: install_application_for_customer: Can not mount / data"

"Your storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menus for format and reboot actions."

"copy application failed"

Even doing a full wipe, restarting the Notes, remain on "Notes Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000"

- If I make the point

4a

flashing cooked, the flash apparently successfully, but at reboot Note stuck on written "Notes Galaxy Samsung GT-N7000"

:(:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] rhn:
stop blaming other people. no one forced you to try the leak or the kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] smalmagal:
This post. Sums up everything perfectly.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

I'm not blaming anyone, dude...No one forced me to try a leaked version of ICS on my phone, but I did because it was there. I take full responsibility for what happened. And Chainfire is the one that brought it to us, is he not? Yeah, I thought so.

Edit: If you brick your device, it's your fault and not the developers. That's obvious. I have nothing but the utmost respect for ANYBODY that develops for Android, and if it wasn't for them then none of this would exist. Chainfire gave many of us, including myself the fun of playing with ICS before it was official...so nothing but respect. And sorry, if I came off rude, but I don't take ****ing up an almost $700 dollar phone lightly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] stesteste:
i would stay away but i on midnote ics with no root and cwm or superuser AFTER INSTALLING V1.2 KERNAL scared to flash it back to gb at the moment incase it bricks on reboot

MINE DIDNT BRICK BUT MIGHT IF I RESTORE COULD DO WITH A PROPER ROOTED KERNAL
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] btyork:
That's ridiculous. First, I've been on the 9220 leak since day one. Lost root once, redid the flash from mobile Odin, still fairly solid. Chainfire did not make anyone flash it, and frankly, this problem is with this kernel, not the leak.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] smalmagal:
I didn't have any problems till the kernel either...but I'd imagine making/modifying a kernel inherently has the bugs in it of sad leak. But what do I know, I'm just a compulsive flasher like most people here. For record, I'm slight mad...obviously. And that's at fault too because of the way phone manufactures and Android operate in the first place....either wait 6 months for them to come out with an "official" version of the newest Android version, or take matters into your own hands.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] tanoxxx:
Guys want to say that I am nobody .. I express only my opinion:

I think that trying a culprit will not help ... Instead we try to find a solution ...

The alleged culprits, not for me, are those that every day they give us one thousand satisfactions .. Sometimes something can go wrong .. instead of looking for a culprit .. join our forces, for the little that we can and try .. while our excellent developers investigate the matter and hopefully find a solution ...

Ps. Sorry for my bad English
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] smalmagal:
Amen...I've seen some amazing things happen before...so this should be no different. Excellent indeed, and as I've said, they're all excellent...for every device I've ever owned, they've all been the driving force behind the experience. And were I have extra money these days, I'm will to donate a good hunk of change to anyone who can fix this. I might even open a bounty thread for it!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] KaranKapoor:
I was on v1.2 + MIUI and had no idea I had this problem until I tried to go back to AOSP. Is ADB working for you guys? I wanted to copy the Internal SD contents to my PC in case I wanna send the phone to the service centre.

EDIT: This may just be a very stupid question but I was wondering, since /data is the problem, could it be possible to not use the data partition at boot or something of the sort?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] crankshaft:
Like moving data to an ext partition on the SD card? The HTC Desire devs do this as there wasn't enough space on the phones internal memory to fit the latest roms.

Or am I way off?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] KaranKapoor:
^^ Yep. I mean exactly that. If it were possible, maybe we could get a temporary fix. MAYBE.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] smalmagal:
If someone uber experienced in all things Android is having this exact same problem, it won't be extremely hard to pinpoint the problem for a solution...at least that's my understanding anyway. I've seen devs who don't even own a certain phone model making ROMS for it, so it could be a cross device sort of fix. Honestly, the more people working on it, the better! As I can offer no advice, except the money in my pocket.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jon3sh:
Im staying away from anything with ICS for now and advised few buddies of mine. We are all back to RR22 and will keep it til final ICS release before anything happen. I hope other members having problem will find solution soon.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] npras42:
Im sorry I'm just going to point out that Chainfire had nothing to do with bringing this particular ROM or kernel to xda. The i9220 leak was from a Chinese website that someone found and reported here and the N7000 one from sammobile (which as far as I can tell Chainfire is not fond of at all). All he did was mod/create his CF-Root kernel which is as stock as it can get.

I know how upset you must be but please don't start throwing accusations around - epsecially to people who have nothing to do with the problems you are experiencing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] NoRmAlY_CrAzY:
Totally agreed.Chainfire had nothing to do with it.Please don't pull someone into this mess whose not at all related.

You could be affected too. Chris X.'s Note is bricked, and he was on 1.1 as well.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] breckbit:
I nearly **** my pants as i tried to go back to GB Stock. I came from TRR 1.5 with Abyss 1.1 Kernel... During my adventure i had tons of strange and weird behavior. CMW nand restore failed with Abyss 1.1, 3.9 and Chainfire´s either... Mobile odin failed completely. PC Odin flashed successfully, but stuck in bootloop. Then i flashed the KJ4 (very first Rom for DBT-csc) and finaly it booted well....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] razorhanny:
I was on this exact same setup, and simply did full wipe, flashed franco kernel #8, reboot recovery, flashed rocket rom v22 and full wipe again.

Now I'm back to GB and it rocks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] k1ng617:
Could anyone tell me, if they have either 1.1 or 1.2 installed and working, what does it say in the about phone for the kernel version? I know for sure I flashed 1.0 at some point, but don't remember if I ever flashed back to another kernel or 1.1 or not.

I have "3.0.15-i9220zclp1-cl131270 se.infra@sep-67#3" listed for my kernel. Am I in some sort of danger of bricking my phone too?

I have am currently running on Midnote. Is there something I should/shouldn't do to assure I don't brick my phone?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
just want to check. since its a partition problem, samsung can fix it right? even if they charge for it or a phone is rooted, they will fix it right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] daxmedflax:
@k1ng617: This is 1.1:

I'm on Romow V1, could I flash abyss kernal 3.9 - reboot recovery - and then flash a GB ROM?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] k1ng617:
Oh boy... That's exactly what I have =( Now I'm a bit worried.

Update: But, I just checked my recovery and it wasn't a touch recovery. So, maybe I'm not on this kernel anymore?

Update2: I just checked and the standard kernel that comes w/ Midnote shows exactly the same thing for the kernel. So, I think I am safe. But, having installed the kernel at one point does make me a bit nervous.

For people that can still go to download mode..

Try to flash stock rom with WIPE rom with odin PC..

For eg. N7000XXKL8 ------ 2.3.6 2011 December-------- N7000OXAKL8 ------------------Open Europe ----------------------- -Download (wipe version)

you will lose all your files in internal storage..

To root back after flashing use this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18978158&postcount=1

if you have issue for rooting, scroll to the bottom "When No Any other method works to Root your device, use this" and follow the instructions.

after that tell us if it succeed or not as i had use this method before due to my baseband is missing after flashing AOSP and MIUI rom but flashing other rom is ok and now my phone back to normal the way it is..

tried that bro, doesnt work. gets stuck at factoryfs on odin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nameejokerx:
had u flashing the full wipe stock rom first before flashing the kj1 factoryfs?

if not, you need to flash that first to downgrade to gb first as either ur pda,csc,phone is still tag as ICS..

if yes, something might go wrong with the partition of your phone..

ok from the start i tried flasing different tar files through pc odin ALL STOCK NOT CUSTOM i used some files from the stock kk8 wipe version in the main dev section on the note forum and the softbrick help section in general flashed a pit file and it partially booted then eventually got a stock modem from the kk8 and flashed that with the 16gb.pit then it booted fully into gingerbread i wish i could be more help but never used odin untill this morning

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nameejokerx:
your custom will stay on 1 as all your files you are using is stock not custom (you ardy mention it):D

for testing purpose u can try to flash ics repack and flash either AOSP and MIUI to check if your baseband or efs folder corrupt..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] androidindian:
so you used 16gb pit file + pda + csc + phone ? anything that was ticked or unticked? just want to make sure everything is proper, thank you so much mate!

and this is KL8 stock firmware right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] manny07:
yes that is correct this morning nothing was working pc odin was hanging and freezing not flashing and cwm kept boot looping me some very weird things happened but now like i said just by messing aboout flashing files i have a working note again on gingerbread n7000xxkl8 baseband build number gingerbread.xxkl8

hey bro.. any idea, on which files goes into which section?

UMS_N7000... goes into ums

GT_N7000_MULTI CSC goes into CSC

16 gb pit file goes into pit

so im left with CODE_N7000, EFS_N7000(which we should not use right? ) , KERNEL_N7000 and MODEM_N7000

in odin, the sections left are: BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE. please advice.

i dont think the pit wipes the storage its the stock files that say wipe next to them in the stock rom section as far as i know

ok yes pit in the pit section code n7000 in the pda section modem n7000 in the phone section gt n7000 multi csc into the csc section bootloader was empty
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nameejokerx:
Code goes to PDA and MODEM goes to phone.

Kernel is not necessary as CODE is already include the kernel..

EFS is necessary if you messed up your efs folder.. you can only flash EFS on PDA partition..

Only bootloader is not been use so far..
