Hi dtorga

You speak my mind.

Pls let us know ur workaround. It will be intresting.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cryshop:
Try to boot into recovery mode and flash LPF package (including PIT, Bootloader,..) via Odin, and remember : TURN OFF any antivirus or firewall or anything that is running on your PC.

i was flashing midnote 1.3 after i had done the wipes. it was successful earlier in the morning. i tried to install it again to get a fresh feel. but it got stuck on installing....

now i can enter cwm recovery but i cant install the rom. i havent tried pc odin..

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

i have LPY package. can i flash that using pc odin?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Vivek it may not be ok to flash lpy

Which kernel you are in

Can you flash an abyss kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vivek2701:
no :( i tried but not able to.. it gets stuck on "installing update".. should i try LPF stock with pc odin as suggested by someone above?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
No

Ok try flashing in cwm with any gb rom and abyss kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vivek2701:
OK.. SUCCESS!! :D

Lucky you vivek.

We are discussing about super bricks where a full wipe in lpx kernel is causing havoc or something is getting corrupted damaging the entire fs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vivek2701:
I thought i had fallen into that catagory as well... :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jayaka:
Hello

Could u pls give us a link of the files you used for flashing. I tried the same with a LPF rom i downloaded but the result was not that good. Factoryfs was ok but it stacked at datafs.

I've been trying to revive my galaxy since Sunday after i stupidly wipe/factory reset within CWM on midTeam ICS rom. Yesterday, finally i was able to flash darky's rom (none of the stock roms are working but hopefully darky's is doing well on abbys kernel) after flashing abbys kernel through heimdall. But the system is not stable, many force closes are there and any restart destroys everything. But i feel lucky, at least my note is running again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vivek2701:
I did exactly what u did. That is wiping in CWM to install a fresh midteam 1.3.. I got stuck on bootscreen but i was able to enter download n recovery mode.

So after trying to install abyss kernel with no success, i downloaded the stock LPF from dr ketan's thread..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1659308

I flashed it using pc odin including pit file and bootloader.. Its up and running again with everything working great. And after the shock of yesterday i didnt root my phone and dont plan to unless something safe comes out.

I just hope this method works for you mate.

I have a feeling that you weren't on superbrick, probably only softbrick
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Yes its a softbrick

But useful post as it could solve similar issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blue_panther9_9:
What I want to know is whether there are any developers who willing to find the solution? last time I got this issue, I read that the senior XDA went to SSC.. which pretty much solve the issue,,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vivek2701:
Ya maybe it was a softbrick.... But i wonder if this bricking issue is related to the data size to be wiped.. Because all these bricks are caused by wipes and also there are these error while moving large files..

Maybe users who have less data to be wiped are less vulnerable to bricks?

Just a thought., no valids proofs to back it up.

I Superbricked my GNote (GT - N7000) HELP !!!

Dear all,

Yesterday i was trying to flash a PIT file through PC odin. But it got stuck between the flash process. I removed the battery and tried to re-start the process with another PIT file (I have downloaded this PIT files browsing XDA from them i chose 1) My GT N7000 is 16GB one and i used the suitable 16GB pit file (I have done this many times on my S2 and GT N7000) :( .

After this my phone is stuck (Dead) and i am unable to start it (or) charge it (while charging it gets warm near the camera region i assume the USB is still working) (or) go into download mode (Arrow Down + Menu + Power), My device is not been detected in ODIN as well as through ADB (As i am not able to turn it on).

I have tried using JIG (i baught it for my Samsung Galaxy S2) but no use unable to get in FACTORY/ODIN mode.

My question is does GT N7000 have a diffrent JIG.

or as there any other way to boot my phone in to download mode.

All i need is to enter download mode or just need a start to push the bootloader, PIT everything.

Please Help..... Thanx in advance.:cyclops:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Ok Arun . Since you have got a jig. Please write down how u r trying to enter download mode using a jig.

I am writing below to get the jig working ....

Hey it is possible to connect to odin....

Just you have to try ....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Arunm Try these steps instead.

a) Make sure you charge your dead phone (It may get charged even when it's dead, else manage one from your friend.)

b) Long press power button (15-20 seconds).

c) Remove battery for 5 seconds,

d) Plug in JIG,

e) Put battery back.

f) Wait for 40 seconds .................................................. ....... (Be Patient)

g) press power button for 5 seconds

h) Remove JIG,

i) Long press power button (15-20 seconds),

j) Remove battery for 5 seconds

k) Put battery back,

l) Hold volume down + center button + power button for 10-15 seconds, press volume up

m) You should have connection to PC Odin ....... If it fails please repeat after restarting your windows (Make sure you have all your ADB drivers installed)

This is how you have to force to download mode.

Post details ....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] arunm:
As my phone is in switch off mode i am just connecting (JIG) it at the usb port of the device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
You can post all your communications here and if u want to catch me live use Gtalk.

Intrested to make ur mobile work again ...

Once u enter download mode ...

Please also let me know what made u bricked.

Did you flash an unsafe kernel ??

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] arunm:
I have tried this method and it didnt succeeded. i saw this method before in (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1354888)

Prabhu have you used JIG for your mobile ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Yes and I had succeeded once using some random method.

Why dont u try again step by step which I have posted above ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] arunm:
As i said i was flashing a PIT file and it got stuck (usually PIT file flashing dosnt take more than 2 min but i did wait for 20 min while flashing that PIT)

So i had to intrupt it by removing the battery and when i did that i couldnt get my device enter in to download mode (Its not starting).

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

I have a JIG which i ordered for my S2. when i tried it on my G note before i flashed this PIT. It did not reset the binary count to 0.

The same JIG has worked in reseting the binary count to 0 for my S2.

So if you have tried it did your binary count got to default value (0).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
And oh ya Yes! I have once succeeded connecting to odin with jig which was a dead note.

But i didnt note down the sequence.

OK s2 JIG = n7000 jig.

You have messed up with the bootloader.

You have 2 options

a) Jig

b) JTag.

Did u try this again ?

You referred to the method to remove yellow triangle.

I am referring a method with jig for forcing into odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] arunm:
This means My device will have a blank screen but it will show up in the COM of PC-ODIN

Am i right ...

but i dont remember the sequence how i forced into download mode.

I got lucky once.

Try the methods I have posted
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] arunm:
JTag may mess up the mobile as its mandatory to open the device any short the battary pannel to the jTAG device (which is not available wth me).

All i have done is a software issue dont know y i cant fix it with a JIG.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Hey In case if you fail connecting it to

odin, try reinstalling the Samsung USB drivers again.

You should get something like this, not exactly this.

So got emmc brick.

Followed the instructions and moved the partitions on my phone. All good, Formatted and sweet.

Problem is I can flash kernel via odin but when I try to flash CWM rom I get errors.

ICS - just does not boot.

CM9 errors with assert failed on flash.

Using CWM 5.8.15. HAve gone back to CMW 5 and same issue.

Help.

DOH. First issue is I forgot to set the new partition names.

This is started with flashing the new 4.0.4 Rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
I need the following to help you better.

Current ROM :

Current Kernel :
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dusty_nz:
Problem was solved. Forgot to set the partition names.

However the problem seems to be growing. re-partitioned. Performed a full read on the system drive, no errors. Flashed, 2nd reboot started getting some errors. Read test and more bad sectors.

The bad blocks seem to be growing. Is that possible? Will re-partition again and flash.

Trying to apply the latest 4.0.4 rom. German.

So understanding two things.

1: Don't try and flash ICS direct from ODIN if you have the Emmc bug?

2: Don't perform a factory reset from CWM if you currently have a ICS kernel flashed.

OK is flashing gingerberad from ODIN

Factory reset from CWM if GB kernel.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dusty_nz:
Issues continue.

Have performed the

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/dev/null read test on partitions 9,10,11. All good.

Free inodes count wrong for group #4 (8180, counted=7798)

Fix? yes

Free inodes count wrong for group #5 (8190, counted=7495)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dusty_nz:
Whole mess started with trying to flash via CWM the MidTEam 4.0.4 rom

Ok - Savings from EMMC bug. Starting at all turned to SH_T

Followed this thread for re-partitioning after confirming I/O errors reading partitions via ADB.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12

Flashed the

4pda_kernel.tar via Odin then rebooting into CWM. No errors.

Did a full read check on 7,9,10,11 and noted read errors on 9 and 10.

Removed 9,10,11 and repartitioned loosing 1/2 of my internal storage. Not a major.

Labeled and re-formated 9 & 10 in CWM. All ok.

rebooted (Pulled battery) and back into CWM. No errors and ADB all ok.

Wiped and cleared cache.

Flashed DarkyRom 3.4.1 via CWM. No errors.

Restarted and it just hangs with the yellow triangle. Accessing CWM and it complains of no cache drive.

re-flashed (nothing else) 4pda_kernel.tar and CWM seems to be fine again. Still won't boot thou.

Almost looks like an partition table error. Certain Kernels cannot read the partition table.

I also noticed that occasionally a partition check (DD read) would raise a i/o error but after a restart it would show ok. Also the System drive. First re-create raised a I/O error. Restarted the phone and re-created, All ok. No issues second time.

Faulty or not?

The partition table looks fine. Try to install one or two other roms. Should try gb and cm9 custom roms. If they do not work then try to repartition again leave out the area currently occupied by partition 9 and 10. See how it goes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dusty_nz:
Eg push Partitions 9 and 10 further out. Will give that a go as well after trying a few more things. Might also try and delete the cache and move as well.

Have tried to flash CM9 from the current 4pda_kernel.tar kernel however get Assert Failed errors.

Checked I have the right version. Even disabled the scripts asserts. No go. Missing any tricks?

Just flashed Abyss 3.9 and that worked okay. Into CWM again. Still the same issue with CM9

Also, Trying to run ADB from any kernel other that the 4PDA one I get the following error trying to connect

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
The 4_pda kernel and abyss can work only with custom gb. For cm9, after installing rom you need to install a safe ics kernel such as franco or speedmode. It is important point. Mismatch kernel and rom will cause bootloop.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dusty_nz:
So..

Starting where I am now.

Flash Franco Kernel

Restart into recovery

Flash CM9

reboot

??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Yes. May also wipe cache and data/factory reset.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dusty_nz:
Hmm. Flashed the "Safe kernel referenced in the CM9 thread.

Flashed via Odin. Restarted into CWM.

Flashed CM9, No Assert error but hung.

Restarted and tried to wipe. Hung formatting Cache.

Looking like more issues with bad blocks.

Also ADB working again. Will work from here.

Thanks heaps Forest1971. Great having your assistance.

Might toos down till tomorrow night.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
It's nice chating with you. GL.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dusty_nz:
Still plugging away.

Safe kernel is causing issues. Random reboots when in CWM

In ADB, I have repeat run the DD read on Cache and Factory partitions. 10 times each and no errors.

Managed a wipe, Davik cahe and cache partitions in CWM, Worked this time. Re applying CM9 but have the feeling it has hung on "Installing Update..."

.... It has just re-booted while trying to flash CM9

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Woohooo.

Looked like corrupted system partition.

Deleted and re-created in ADB. ("rm 9" then "mkpartfs primary ext2 3322 4215" then "name 9 FACTORYFS")

Back in CWM I was able to unmount system (Hung Prev)

Flashed CM9 and Apps.

Wipe

Rebooted.

Booted in, Have run through setup. Rebooting now. All good.

Must say thanks to Forest1971 who provided excellent guidance and quick responses which is great.

Also I can vouch for the Hard Brick recovery worked but it requires time and patience.

So I tried to update the Note GT-N7000 Monday, Worked well on stock ICS N7000DXLP9_N7000OLBLP6_N7000DXLP5_HOME.tar.md5 for a while yet after a while it couldnt read the Sim card, so I tried flashing a new Radio ROM through PC Odin, that didnt solve it either,

I read on rtGalaxyNote.com that the note could use any ROM from stock no matter the region. so I tried flashing a couple others,

this failed,

I installed Franco Kernel v10 and then tried to flash abyss kernel for the CWM to flash KingDroid v5.1. when i was doing this I noticed that the wipe/data was running extremely slow (30minutes and didnt do anything) so I rebooted and did it again this time after a while it did wipe it all, as it stated I then flashed the KingDroid v5.1 and it got to 7% through the install and rebooted. now i notice that there is a yellow triangle meaning @ the boot screen and it goes into a boot loop.

I thought i would put it back to stock yet this failed, I put it back in download mode and now the flash counter is at 5, so i tried to reset it with the ICSTESTKernel.tar and nothing, just keeps adding counters to this.

Long story short I cannot flash an original kernel, it will only flash Abyss, SpeedMod or CM9. and will not boot any ROMs,

Is there a way to reset this phone completely and start back at square one? any help would be great

these are the websites i have used,

Oh you tried flashing from stock ics . Can you please elaborate .. because if you even did a wipe with stock ICS kernel you are at risk. Now related to flashing the kernel I am surprised why you could only flash few kernels.

Can you try flashing glewarnes notecore kernel or alliance ROM fiectos kernel and let is know our progress.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 84DGR:
Yeah I did... didn't think about a bad kernel however using forest1971 method it is back up and running. Yet the only problem is it will not read the simcard... it just keeps saying that there is no sim inserted

???? Ideas
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Did you try another simcard.

Do you have IMEI 0000000000000 ?

You are in trouble unless you had an efs backup.

had you flashed custom roms you would have an automatic backup.

Head to this thread for repairing your imei /efs recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 84DGR:
I tried 5 sim cards all the same, it was like that before I flashed I think the reader is stuffed

Later read the news about the super brick. But my Note is working fine after factory reset (but the Got Brickbug? app says my chip is vulnerable to a brick, guess I was lucky?). Now I would like to install custom ROMs but scared to do it due to the super brick warning. I would like to know how to proceed. I would appreciate if anyone could write a small guide.
