First need to differ if you have emmc brick or not. Have you tried to flash a stock rom with odin?

1. if it goes through fine, then there is no emmc brick. You should try to flash a wipe rom from Dr.Ketan thread in my signature. Better start with a gb rom. In many case flash a wipe rom helps to get back the recovery.

2. if it gets stuck at factoryfs.img or datafs.img, then you have encountered the emmc bug brick. In this case, since there no recovery, cannot do diagnostic to identify which partition is brick. So, need to try blind: flash a custom PIT file with a stock rom. Then try to get into recovery, format data and usbstorage.

The custom pit here works in most cases. So you can try it first and see how it goes.

In many cases it is the corrupted download or corrupted rom file in sdcard (rom file are big so they are vulnerable to damage). There are many custom roms, (can find in the link in my signature) and some roms should also work beside your current working rom.

As for warranty preparation, there has been various discussion and suggestions in different threads. So some search should help. cheers.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Restart phone and try again shoul help with the problem of unrecognized disklabel. Then use parted to name partitions. In this case you need to create 11 and name 9; 10 and 11 as in the guide.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Frankly, i have not tried many roms. So others friends can give better advice.

Still, Abyssnote only works with gb.

From reading it seems Hydracore is a good kernel for ics. About custom roms there are two links in my signature. Need to read and choose a bit.

I got stuck at samsung logo and could not get into recovery either but could open download mode after wipe or delete partition thing before installing new custom rom.

As I am from India, I dont get good net speed to download atleast 700mb rom from hotfile as it doesnt support resume.

I used this tar to get back my recovery console. and then flash what ever I needed(JellyBAM)

Hy there,

I'm the same situation like you presented at the first in your tutorial, but i can't reach in CWM mode. I tried to flash a lot of kernels with cwm but noones worked :( do you have an ideea how to boot in cwm?

i tried to flash these .tars:

AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar

cm9_safe_kernel.tar

4pda_kernel.tar

CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.3-CWM5.tar

CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5.tar

the flashing process seems to be ok, all are PASS! but can't reach my phone in cwm and i want to revive my bricked phone.

:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Have you try to flash a stock rom? Does it get stuck at factoryfs repeatedly? This is to be sure you need repartition.

Sending from my phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adyolcian:
yes, i tried a lot of it. it get stuck at factoryfs at any rom i try to flash. now i'm downloading a GB rom to see if i can reach CWM mode after and follow your tutorial. do you have any ideea?

thank's
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Ok. In that case need to try blind with some custom pit file to do repartition. First try the pit i posted in last page, perhaps post 1469. Together with a stock rom. Or you can try it first together with one of the kernel you mentioned. Then go into cwm to format system, data and usbstorage. If these go through smoothly then you are ready to install stock or custom rom of your choice, with some loss of internal storage. Since you are waiting for dowaload rom, should try with kernel first and report result. Let see how it goes.

Sending from my phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adyolcian:
i just flashed your pit file with one kernel. i reached in CWM and i have no FORMAT USB, only emmc and sdcard. i formated data and system, all DONE. you think that now i should try too install a rom? with odin or by CWM?

EDIT: i tried to install .zip from sdcard by CWM but i get this: E:Can't mount /sdcard or this: E:Can't mount /emmc if i try zip from internal sdcard
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Looks good. You can try with format sdcard (should remove external sdcard to avoid loosing content). Or you can try to install a rom first then can format internal sdcard using android system. About rom it is up to you to use cwm or odin. Use some rom that you are familiar with first. Still, should try to avoid hitting the bug again.

Sending from my phone

---------- Post added at 05:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 AM ----------

There seem to be a menu option to format usbstorage under cwm mount and storage menu. You can try to use that to format internal sdcard first. See how it goes. Sometime there could be damage in there as well. Otherwise, try to flash stock rom with odin if your download is conpleted.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
It just say you need to format ibternal sdcard first. Try to boot normally to see if it work then find the menu to format internal sdcard somewheee under setting. If it not booted to system then try to format internal sdcard using recovery again. You may need to flash a customkernel again to do that. Btw, which stock rom did you flask via odin?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adyolcian:

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

Seems like I need more help from you. I can't figure it out how to format sdcard and emmc :( I tried the stock rom and nothing, I tried a custom rom flashed by Odin, also nothing, and through CWM also nothing. I should try the original pit, or if I do that I will brick my phone again?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Flash orig pit will bring the phone back to brick stage as before. And it still not formating sdcard. Maybe some cwm can do it and some cannot. From android system the menu in the system is under setting storage. But if those do not work for you then another way is to use adb parted as in the guide. You will remove partition 11 (ums) and remake it and name it as in point 5.1 to 5.3 in the guide. No need to touch 9 and 10.

Sending from my phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adyolcian:
I just tried to format my partition following your tutorial step by step but i had a problem. At the end of the step 3, afeter i run this: (parted) print it showed me the error you can see in screenshot :(

I retried one more time, but same error.

I have to tell that my phone can't see my external card either :(

If i try to flash some .pits from "hg42" list of .pit for N7000-16gb, do you think i will have a chance to have my partitions good or i will get my phone brick again? the list of pit (pits-N7000_16GB.zip) is at the end of first post from here
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
ok. parted just does not seem to work in this case. I do not know the reason yet.

btw, you can try again to take out your external sdcard and then use CWM to format or wipe one of those: usbstorage, internal sdcard, sdcard or emmc (it depend on each CWM version). one of those should work and format internal sdcard for you. as for external that could be a problem with the rom or somehow it it affected by the fact that the internal sdcard is not yet formated.

If the above do not work then you should explore using hg42 pit. You can try to use scanner first to identify the area of damage then choose a pit or just choose a pit that will cut about 3gb of the memory space then it should have similar effect. after that you still need to find way to format your sdcard. in hh42 thread there are also detail explanation on how to format sdcard after flash pit as well. cheers

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

Recently, I can see someone report that his internal memory could not extend to 15800mb as in usual case. So that could be a problem, since I modified the PIT using PIT Magic (which is a wonderful piece of software) and base on the stock pit that extend to 15800mb. It could be the case with your phone as well. (just my theory, but you should use the CWM to format sdcard as suggested above first).

Another way is try parted to remove partition 11 and 12. no need to use print, just remove partition as below

(parted) rm 11

(parted) rm 12

then created 11 and name it as in the guide.

then try (parted) print to see how things go.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adyolcian:
i tried again some roms and different CWM but i couldn't format the usb storage. i tried to remove partition 11 like you said but there is no chance, same: error can't have a partition outside the disk first i checked the partition and only at partiotion 11 i have problems because there result the next error: /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/dev/null no such file or directory

can you suggest a rom, or a CWM version to use? thanks again :|
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:

Hi there again,

It's seems to be another problem with my phone again. It freezes very often and i need to hold the power buton to restart the phone. I removed the sdcard but no chance, i flash a lot o f roms 4.1.2, 2.3.6, stock firmware with odin but nothing worked.

I have to say that it freezes more often when WiFi is ON, and it's getting hot in the back, near the camera.

Is there any relativity with the problem i had it before?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Does not look good with this problem. There are some similar cases with unknown reasons before. Let's try to see if something can be done.

1. Use hg42 scanner:

2. Use dd to scan all partitions from 1 to 12

then report results.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Have you tried the hg42 scanner yet? If you can use find brick start and find brick end, then will be able to use the most suitable pit file to gain back the space.

About rom: it is not clear the reason why. Should try the scanner first then maybe the issue with rom can also be solved.

On the other hand, if the phone is stable and you can use a large external sdcard, then the small internal sdcard does not matter much.

cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
It is not totally sure if you had emmc brick or not. Should use dd to scan all partitions from 1 to 12. Also should use hg42 scanner as well. After doing those scans you will have a better answer if emmc brick or not and will probable find a suitable solution as well.

hello guys. i've bricked my note today (the day i also got it unfortunately, i bought it second hand and i had to do a wipe from cwm because the tw launcher gave me lots of errors. it is not my first android and i knew from previous ones that when something goes bad with apps, just make a factory reset/wipe from cwm. so my phone is now bricked - i was on 2.3.6 when i've got it). so i wanted to update to 4.0.4 or 4.1.2..but the flashing process remains stuck on factoryfs. and when i try to install from cwm something, remains stuck at samsung screen. so i've read the solution on this topic from page 2 and i found a tool to check the errors also. so, from what i can tell, the error begins at 1020 and ends at 2140. can you guys, please help me to remap the partitions? because i don't want to brick it for good. (forgot to mention that download and recovery modes work). i've attached a photo with my current partitions. i've tried all the options form the post on second page, and nothing. i've tried all kinds of roms..stock, custom, GB, ICS, JB..nothing worked. thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
It seems you have brick the data partition (partition 10). Now you can use manual method for fhe case of brick in partition 10 only. Otherwise can also use custom pit file. Both ways shoukd work for you.

First. Very sorry for pointing you to the wrong post about my custom pit file. I was using my phone so it was difficult to navigate and count correct post number. my bad. I am with a PC now can can find the correct post. The pit I posted is actually in post 1488.

here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?ttm2yhlz3w86dj2

flash it with a GB stock rom. then go into recovery to wipe/format data and unternal sdcard/usbstorage.

Have you back up your efs before? if not this could be a problem. Still, important think is to get the system booting first. You should use my custom pit file above which should work for your case.

About efs: have you back it up before. IF not it is another problem. Still first need to have the system to boot first.
