That's why i send my note to samsung service, i don't wanna lose memory. Now i'm waiting, and the first thing i wanna see is the free memory.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] the.joker:
after trying the pit-method my note loops.

Is that normal ?

I tried the forest method but i always become a 6.7 % thing on my cash folder and i can't mount emmc.

is my note f***ed up ? :confused:

for those who this method worked for..

which combination of pitfile and rom did you use ?

I have an Italian note !

PLEEZE HELP !

after flashing the phone goes to update and i have this message every time

E: failed to mount /data ( unknown error 0 )

E: install_applications_for_customer can't mount data

your storage no prepared yet !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
If you can post screen shot or copy text from the cmd window it will help to identify where things go wrong while follow the guide. Cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] the.joker:
my phone can not mount /data or /emmc

Do you think it could be a Hardware problem ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
So you are in the recovery but cannot mount sdcard to the computer?

It is not clear what you mean by mount data and mmc
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] the.joker:
yes ,

i can not mount the sd card

it sgows the error : erro mounting sd ( i formated the sd card in fat32 but nothing )

Now i can mount emmc but i can't mount data

The only error i get following your method is the error on cash partition.

:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
It is cache partition. Cabd you do parted again and print partition table so that we can see how it is now before decide on next step?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] the.joker:
yes sir !:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
You can right click on the title bar of the CMD window then select edit and then mark then you can use left mouse to mark the text you need then ctr +c to copy and then Ctro +v to past to word or the reply window.

cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fatdogcat:
i used the patched pit with no number in the name. i don't have looping problem after flashing with it. i guess you should try flashing the pit file with the largest number in its name, see if it's working, and if no, flash a lower number until it works. good luck pal!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] the.joker:
I can't believe it !

My note lives again !

After going through forests amazing workout and then using the pit method to flash the ICS german official rom ( wiping cash withe the samsung recovery ) it works again !!!

I lost 8 GB of memory but my note lives again !:eek:

i used the forest method to restore partitions pass by pass

then i used different stock GB roms with the pit files ( nothing )

During my conversation with forest i flashed for the last time the stock ICS build 4.0.3 without pit file

Wiped cash with official samsung recovery ! Miracle ! My note woke up !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Wow, always good to share this good feeling when a Note is revived :).

btw, it will be good if you can still post the partition table so that we can see how it is now. cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] the.joker:
I will do it 4 sure. Let me sleep for some hours.. i slept 3 our in the last 48 hours ! :D

Would be a pleasure help all guys who had their note brick ! Just the way you guys helped me !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Yeah, after doing manual re-partition should not used the PIT file while flash. cheers.

wipe data???

What do you mean by wipe data, every time i download any rom i go to the cwm recovery kenu and from there i restore my phone to factory settings . Then i install the zip rom sd card. So the impression that i got is that we should not restore our phones to factoey setting before installing a new one
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dobsy01:
UNBRICKED

Can I first say thank you for this excellent guide,

I too bricked my phone but after reading this guide (ABD wouldn't recognise my device so I couldn't follow it) I understood the partitions had become messed up.

I read somewhere about the PIT files.

I ODINed the ABYSS Kernal and PIT (Q1_20110914_16GB-patched) for my 16gb n7000 ticked the repartition box. It booted into CWM recovery and I used the restore and bingo.

TFFT. I was just about to send it to a Samsung SS.

Thanks again.

Nick.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RealPariah:
Yeah I go in to mounts and storage and tap format /system and /data that way or use something like darkside super wipe as that cleans out partitions way better and factory reset only resets cache and data and doesn't touch /system and is where the problem is prolly coming in.

thanks a lot I WİLL PRAY TO GOD FOR YOU

THANKS A LOT ALOT ALOT I RESQUED without any missing even the storage.I ussed abbys kernel frst then pc odin xxlc1 gb with pit 16 gb so it's working very good only ı lost my night for sleeping:)the only thing ı realized when I do wiped factory reset gives error at he end :confused:so I couldnt be able to note that error sorry but when I do it again I will write it to you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Thanks for your kindness, and hope that your phone is fine by now. If you still have problems, it will help if you can post the partition table and some more specifics. cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sabiq:
I tried using this method but at starting when i do [ umount /data ] it shows invalid argument,,,,, although i continued with the process but after that when i select [ install zip from internel sd card ] it shows [ E: can't mount /emms/ ]. i even tried flashing through which then gets stuck on factoryrys.

what shall i do,

thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Can you post the partition table please. If you use the PIT automatic method then you need to format sdcard first. If you use manual method you need to mount it to the PC and then copy rom.zip from PC to sdcard (usb storage) and flash with CWM.

cheers,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sabiq:
dude thanks for you concern but guess what ?? i just made my phone work ,,,

I followed your manual cmd method and then i just randomly flashed Criskelo rom ICS from my externel SD because internel wasnt working,,,, now internel does work with like 8GB of memory gone,,,, dont really care ,,,

thanks a lott ,,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Good to know you made it :). Nice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sabiq:

help :(

hi folks--been reading for hours and now everything just seems blurred and more confusing.

ok, my story thus far:

tried to ics 4.0 upgrade via kies and the n7000 but no go so hit up samfirmware and grabed the carphone warehouse version. loaded up odin and put the phone into download mode. place the single file in the PDA and waited, waited and waited some more but....... 1 hour later or more and it had not passed the factoryfs stage???

unpluged and tried to reflash using odin and 2.3.6 but its failing on factoryfs stage everytime and kies wont see it either?

been reading the posts and it all seems to involve using and sd card but the phone is not functioning?

any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
In this case, should flash custom PIT file from hg42. you can find the links from my guide in post 12 or find it in general section. Hope it helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sabiq:
Try this very method of using cmd, it might help ,,,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Similarly, you should file the custom PIT file from hg42 using the links mentioned above. Hope it should work out for you. In case there is still problem, you will need to try the manual method in post 12. Hope you can figure it out. cheers.

Anyway, we will work to try to fix it.

now

then create 7, 9, 10 and 11 using the steps as in the guide.

Once done with that we will create 8. Will tell you how after you done with the above

Edit: btw, your partition table looks different from the original one. Have you already re-partition that already?

the factoryfs is a bit too small, only about more than 500 mb. it should be 893 mb.

Also: after you have done with the above please post the new partition table so that we can know where to make partition 8.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
answer no

I assume you have not create 10 and 11 as in the guide.

If that is the case, then go on to make partition 10 and 11 first before go back to convert 9 and 10 again.

Need to follow the guide closely.

If in doubt you should rm 9 again and follow the respective steps in the guide to create 9, 10, 11 as described.

-----------

More:

This is how to make partition 8 modem:

(parted) mkpart 264 281

(parted) name 8 MODEM

No need make any format for this partition.

You you have made Cache partition in that range then need to adjust it accordingly.

After flash rom you may need to flash modem only. (get a full rom.tar then extract it and keep only modem (delete all other part) and then flash it using odin).

Hope you can figure it out. cheers

---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

Hope you can figure out. otherwise we can continue tomorrow ok? cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cowen1000:
ok, i put 9,10,11 on but they would not go in order as it was filling the 7 space first. i overcame that and got all the sections on there but under the wrong numbers so i just modified the convertion numbers on the end of the text and it worked ok and it converted the 2sections to ext4 without issue (as you can see below, number 7 is actually number 9 unconverted).

only problem i have now is getting the size up on the CACHE? its sticking around 100mb and it wont let me convert it either? ive started over and over and even reduced some of the MB sizes of the other files?

im getting there but my head hurts lol

Take some good rest and then play with it again. Start with rm 7 and 8. Then create 7, then 8, 9, 10 and 11. Then go back to convert format for 7, 9 and 10. This is neccessary to maintain the name and order of partitions.

what to do before sending my gnote to samsung service center?

Hi everyone :)

my phone is revived by flashing an official GB rom with patched PIT, however

it .....

- reboots itself intermittently, like few times a day

- shows only 8G+ internal memory

so i plan to bring it to samsung service center as my phone is still under warranty. before doing this, can everyone here tell me what exactly should i do so that samsung will FIX my phone for FREE??

- reset the odin counter to 0

- flash a official kernel

i guess i have to do the above 2 things, how can i do it? am i missing something??

Thanks in advance!!

Partition table looks fine now.

Let's try one of those custom GB suggested in the guide: darky, checkrom or litenning or a CM. they should work similarly.

If you have nandroid backup in your computer you can try to restore it. But first need to go to cwm and mount usb storage so that PC can access it and allow you to copy rom to.

--

Another look: you have some how removed the hidden partition 12. It should still be fine though.

cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cowen1000:
well i tried the rocket ics and it could not see the files of directory? tried a few rom zip files on the sd card and it can not see them either? so i tried odin and it failed on factoryfs. back to sq one :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Try to look for file under internal sdcard as well. Sometime is it mistaken the external and internal sdcard. I had the same issues as well and I can find things under internal sdcard.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cowen1000:
I'll try it but do I now need to rm 9,10,11 again now as it has failed via Odin again?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Odin failure this time is caused by some minor differences in the partition size we created compared to the original partition so odin does not want to work. This time is is not by faulty blocks. If you can find things under internal sdcard and install successfully then it should be fine.

---

Now that we can see from your new partition table that the former sdcard area are fine. That means you should better use the PIT method. Choose the file that has the word "patched" in the name, and that should work for you. cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cowen1000:
you were right forest, found the files in the internal. i loaded the AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo, wiped verything and then rebooted to recovery and installed RocketROM_ICS_XXLPY_v1 (2) but it just stayed on the note start up screen after reboot?. ive tried stock roms but nothing seems to be working? do you have any idea why that is please?

im a bit confused about the bit below, could you explain a bit more and maybe post a link to 'patched' file? ive tried adding the PIT file on odin when i flashed it earlier but it failed as usual. :(

thank you for your help so far btw as i dont think ive said thanks yet :)

You made a few mistakes, but no serious problem:

Rocket sometime does not work. Sometime it works after a reboot or wipe data and cache. Other custom rom can work better.

About PIT. You have somehow used a wrong file from somewhere and it make the partition table looks strange.

Should choose the correct one from hg42 thread (something like patched for 16GB) in the general section. A correct one should work for you.

Otherwise, if you do manual you need to try some roms and follow the rom installation guide correctly for a certain rom. Cheers.
