That seems to be that adb driver have problem.

reconnect your device, if it does not work then re-install Kies and update it. Often after re-stall Kies the adb diver should work again.

Hi i9000: Thanks so much for throwing support to trouble shoot issues.

We really need help from everyone to support for those who is trying to unbrick their Note, but get stuck somewhere.

BTW does Speedmod also have the tool needed for re-partition, please?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] feny_lf:
Hi Forest,

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it soon. BTW, just using speedmod kernel, I could enter cwm, but looks all the keys didn't work, like up, down keys.

I re-flashed with the kernel you suggested from Bodivas' post, this one is good. Thanks to all, again, I'm looking forward to more steps forward
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] A.S._id:
Wow, our kernel up the bricks? This kernel we did together witn bodivas, I did repacker, and hi repack... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Nice to hear that. Very handy tool.!

Let's get the adb working properly then you can just try the steps in the guide.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] A.S._id:
Yes, this kernel have support adb, su, busybox, and very stable, but I think you need flash bootloader 2.3.6 before the kernel , to make it match...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
I guess those who has not updated bootloader should still have 2.3.6.

But someone have updated it. Still I wonder if it is really necessary? I mean we should avoid flask bootloader if we can since it it better not to mess with it.

some more clarifications please. tks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] A.S._id:
How about finger?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Yeah forest i had the same issue with cwm and it doesnt seem to work in speedmod kernel.

If it has tools it should be there in CF kernel too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Feny: I guess you are trying to correct adb driver now.

But please let us know if you can navigate a round in cwm yet?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] feny_lf:
Actually for speedmod, I tried this version speedmod-kernel-n7000-k2-8-Odin.tar. finger (touch) not work either.

For 4pda_kernel.tar that I'm working with, the recovery version is CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7, this is with adb support, right?? After installing the latest Kies and also update inside Kiew ... Still cannot have adb work.

Please correct me if I'm too stupid and wrong.... (Actually I tried adb before, but never with cwm)

I'm just having phone enter this recovery mode, stay in the main page of CWM, then connect the usb cable to pc. under PC, I use cmd to "adb devices" "adb kill-server" "adb devices" ....

Any steps wrong?

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

Using 4pda_kernel.tar, the recovery version is CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7, I can navigate a round via volume + & - keys in cwm. Thanks.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Good to hear that you have done with re-partition steps. right?

I would suggest to play it safe by flash abyssnote 3.9 kernel or another GB kernel. Then install a GB rom that you know. You can mess with other ICS later once you have been successful with GB rom.

I read both you and Hg42 tutorial, they are pretty easy to understand.. I've repartitioned maybe about 3-4 times today. just to find the correct partitioning.. beside DATAFS, in my case I believe part of HIDDEN partition also affected,,:/

I tried installing abysnote 3.9 kernel redpill.. but I think it also wiped my partition and put it into stock partition. ended with nasty bitmap error(can be fixed by installing with this following step Odin with speedmod>CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KJ6-v5.0-CWM5> 3.9 abyssnote redpill> odin with thor-kernel-v0.4+Thor-Recovery-1.8-odin)

I dont wanna try abyssnote again, because it deleted my partition/recovery mode,, any zip file firmware that I should use?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Herk: Good that it detect your phone. That means there is still life. Consider some point below:

1. if you cannot boot into download mode there is a chance that your bootloader may have gone wrong.

2. In that case I may need a Jig

http://www.ebay.com/itm/UnBrick-USB...te-i9220-GT-N7000-Download-Mode-/250949937128

There is a video for handmade for another device as well

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0

3. Jig should be able to put the phone in download mode again. Then

you can use odin to flash bootloader and kernel.

Let me know if I am wrong with the condition of your phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] feny_lf:
:P Sorry, just not waiting for your reply. I selected Fix, so far no problem.

BTW, in your post,

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

Is this a typo in this command "(parted) mkfs 11 fat32 6362MB 15.2GB"? I tried this, was told that 11 is not valid token ....

Should it be "(parted) mkpartfs primary fat32 6362MB 15.2G"?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
If Abyssnote does not work, maybe tried FM kernel (I am using this one with my Note and it work fine) or just use the kernel provided with the guide.

is this because the wrong rom image? or .... partition is still not correct?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:

Check if you can connect to computer and mount USB to copy a rom to it.

It try another rom.

try that one.

Can you screen shot the partition table after you have done it please?

oh, thanks, this does make sense very much.

Will try this. One of my concerns is ext2 for factoryfs and datafs is ok?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
I do not think we need a PIT and in that case the PIT has to modified to reflex the new Partition scheme. We do not know how to modified the PIT yet.

We if flash the original PIT then partition will be back to original again (and sometime it just get stuck and cause the phone to die as well. that was one case yesterday or the day before),

So i have been saying we should not try to use PIT after re-partition.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

Ok it seems that new way to make ext4 in one step does not seem to work.

Let me post you the 4 steps to convert the ext2 to ext 4 in some minute. Let not use PIT now.

By the way the link for extralite GB is here in case someone need it.

http://www.4shared.com/zip/3k-qxxnJ/Cassies_XtraLiteRom_X_LC1.html

thanks

Here is the 4 steps to convert ext2 to ext4. do it for partition 9 then change the last number from 9 to 10 to do it for partition 10.

----

Code:

~ # tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

~ # e2fsck -fDp /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

~ # tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

~ # e2fsck -fDp /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

If e2fsck complains that it needs to be run manually, you should omit the -p flag. This happened to me the second time I ran through this process, but the first time it did not. I'm not entirely sure why. In that case, the e2fsck commands simply become:

Code:

~ # e2fsck -fD /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Which will cause it to ask if you want to fix the group descriptors. Just answer 'Y' and let it run through.

---

see how it goes

I assume you know how to copy and right click to paste the code to CMD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shooter_mvp:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] A.S._id:
I'm not talking about the old pit, and a new pit, you need to download, without this stock is not flash ( at least no one has) only a flash cwm rom, because heimdall not see pacage without a pit, but without point repartition in heimdall.

Flash unbriced device use Odin - impossible, Checked...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Oh yeah. without tick that re-partition option.

About flash with odin not sure. Uggies and Matiasg may help tell if it works.

My guess is if odin pc is set up properly and the rom is good it should work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] feny_lf:
I found the command below for ext4... I'm changing factoryfs to ext4 successfully,

but for datafs, it failed when I use tune2fs -j.... who can help me on this????

~ # tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p10

tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p10

tune2fs 1.41.6 (30-May-2009)

ext2fs_check_if_mount: Can't check if filesystem is mounted due to missing mtab

file while determining whether /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 is mounted.

================

mkpartfs primary ext2 xxxx yyyy (where xxxx is where your previous partition ended and yyyy is the total size of your sdcard)

.... (Let it do its thing. Shouldn't take more than a minute)

print (Make sure that everything is correct: You have a fat32 partition running from 0 to xxxx and an ext2 partition running from xxxx to the total size of your partition)

quit

Now to utilize the two files we previously pushed to /system/etc/

chmod 777 /system/etc/tune2fs

chmod 777 /system/etc/e2fsck

/system/etc/tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 <- You now have ext3

/system/etc/tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (Note: CAsE SEnSitiVE)

/system/etc/e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (Note: CAsE SEnSitiVE) <- You now have ext4
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
I would suggest remove 10 and recreate it again.

You have have to start the whole process again because there seem to be problem with "mount" "umount"

Direct step to create ext4 does not seem to work for you.

I have now revised the guide and put back the steps to convert ext2 to ext 4 again.

Please remove 9 and 10 and do it again following the guide (since you have flash odin with ext2 so there maybe some problem. Better rm and recreate both 9 and 10 again.

And remember to print partition table after you do it and sent the screen shots please. to make sure it looks right.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] A.S._id:
Or may be take old pit, open this hex editor, to change parameters partitions data and ums? But I dont now, how to do... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Sound a good idea. That should make it easier to re-partition, using odin or heimdall..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] feny_lf:
I tried again. there's still same problem. Actually I'm thinking this is due to the old version tune2fs. How do you think?

this version is tune2fs 1.41.6 (30-May-2009); I saw the post from hg42, his version is tune2fs 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)

How can I upgrade this tune2fs version? In this case we need an upgraded kernel, right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
But you can still do it with partition 9.

it should work similarly.

Try to follow the guide since i have updated it. Not sure if you change the last number in the code correctly or not. Better just follow my updated guide in post 12. rm and recreate both 9 and 10 again.

If that does not work then maybe try to create a smaller partition 10 like below. to see if it work.

(parted) mkpartfs primary ext2 4215 5215

(parted) name 10 DATAFS

or

(parted) mkpartfs primary ext2 5215 6362

(parted) name 10 DATAFS

And when something does not work. please take a screen shot (take a photo is better and attached it) so that I can see if you have done something incorrectly).

For some people...

Abbys red pill recovery is a TOUCH recovery I think,so that's why buttons don't work.Use your screen.

Another thing is - don't gave up after first unsuccessful flash of pit file or kernel or ... because memory is locked and sometimes it needs few flashes to work.

I don't know if it was already said but if you can't do anything just take battery out for 10 minutes,put it back and then charge it to 100%(well,if you can). Then try it again(download mode,recovery).
