I tired every possible directory I could think of on sdcard and its not working just saying no such file or directory. I believe when I deleted the ums partition and ran into error and tried to restart process over again my sdcard was erased permanently for the partition/phone :( I wonder if there's a way to erase the all partitions and start over fresh.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Flash your pit file in Odin.of ourse with repartition cheked

Please donot mount ur sdcard while u do so
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Hi Herk:

Yesterday I did upload the kernel.tar to the Guide in the post 12.

This can be flash via odin and then if it work you should be able to get back to recovery properly.

have you tried with that yet.

cheers

Hi Prabhu:

If I understand correctly he says that when the system try to access the faulty area the emmc will lock up. So that it will cause freeze.

They says they have a tool to wipe everything and update the new firmware. Still I doubt that they will release the fix soon, since it will affect their company image. Now they are promoting S3 so this will be the last thing they want to do I guess.

As for using the scan tool. I believe it is a good way to check if one of the factoryfs or datafs is still ok. Then we can save more space. But that would make things a bit too complicated for many users. So I try to avoid going into that direction in the guide.

cheers,

Lam
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shooter_mvp:
my note revive from superbrick!! yeah!!

now i can use all customrom but stock still stuck at factoryfs while use odin and my emei is change!!

but i don't care while it work normally

Thanks you all guys. you make me happy again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Thanks Shooter very much for sharing good news with us!

This is important to keep us feel happy too :D

If you have backup of emei I guess can restore. I think stock suck so better use custom roms.

cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prabhu1980:
Yeah Forest Understood after a lots of struggle.....

I was reading through many documents about emmc and many other infos.

Emmc has self managment codes for bad blocks management ... Hence it Locks up ....

Aarhg... I wished it was as simple as my HDD....

Got a Samsung insider ... Let me see if I get into luck ...

I dont think I ll stop till someone finds an answer for it.....

For atleast now you have revived more than 5 - 6 Galaxy Notes !!

so what i must type to end

i need help argent
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uggies:
'Quit' command does the job.

But before you do that, make sure that you use 'print' command to see if everything is OK.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Hi Have you been able to create 11 yet?

yes, as Uggies says remember to do print command after done with creation to see if partitions are in good place.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] terius:
going nuts

hi, i installed many, many roms even in diferent devices but i am not a genius, when i got the rocketV1 installed i formated the data, and i got into a superbrick now i am reading this whole post but i cant understand a lot of things, and i dont want to play anymore with my Gnote (of course is not under warranty), i know that i have to use the android sdk to repartition the sdcard, have no idea how to use it (i downloaded and install everything in my pc), can anyone tells me how to fix it in a way that a rookie can understand ?,by the way i have a backups that i made a month ago in my sd card, is there any way to fix it using this? i can get into CWR, txs
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
You need a bit of patience to deal with it. Ok if you are out of Guarantee then I will try.

1. install samsung Kies and update it

2. then download my adb folder and extract it in you C drive of your computer. http://www.mediafire.com/?1q4w9qa9a7mqebx

3. Then follow the steps in the guide and go into recovery

4. Then connect the phone with your computer via usb and then follow other steps to see if after you type adb devices will it return the number of your device or not. if it does then follow other step. If it does not then. more trouble shoot is needed.

I will need to leave in about 30 minutes or so, so not sure we can complete the session but once connect to adb you can just follow the steps in the guide.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] terius:
try this one using odin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blue_panther9_9:
Sorry I forgot to tell you that I managed to get back to my SGS last nite.. Thanks to both you and HG42..:) I used Cassie X LC1 blazzing quick n small

*since Im pretty stubborn, I went back to ICS LP9 with PIT created by HG42..:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Thanks for informing of your success. :D

You sure are luckier than some other guys who are still struggling or already given up.

Risk again with LP9: Yeah, I guess that is about XDA members.

If you have time please consider to help Terius. He is not familiar with adb.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] terius:
ok, i installed kies and updated, downloaded your ADB folder, try to extract it with winrar (nothing happened) so i used 7-zip, now asked me about Administartor right or something like that (sorry my pc is in spanish), i clicked on yes and extracted but no archives shows in C, run CMD but nothing happened...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shooter_mvp:
for me speedmod kernel is the best for get into CWM and use ADB. I succeed with it.

thor, abyss, 4pda can't make me get CWM and ADB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Ah, there is adb file in post 490 by As I9000.

It also has adb driver for Note. But if you already install Kies the driver should now work. Just unzip it in a folder in c:drive then run cmd and cd to the folder and then run adb shell from there.

You should have admin right in your computer, though.

When update the Guide yesterday I have deleted one code:

(parted) quit

before the code to convert ext2 file to ext4. That seems to have caused some problems. I have added it in the Guide again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kidney86:
i got the problem even though i did "quit"

~ # tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] terius:
ok i succesfully downloaded the ¨adb win¨but in D: since in C: wouldnt show the zip file, then i ran the command ¨umount/cache¨and tell me that is not found.

what i am doing wrong.?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
kidney:

Try to run parted and print the partition table to see how the partitions are now. (if you can post screen shots that will help much better.

I 've got to go but there are others who certainly can jump in to help.

Also if thing go wrong you can start over again by rm 9, 10, and 11 and follow the guide to do it again.

Hope you can sort it out. cheers

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

terius: your case is more complicated because not sure where you are now.

try to start the process from begging can also help. But make sure you log in your computer with admin account.

It also help to do some screen shot of your computer so that we can see what you have done in CMD.

I guess once you post screen shots other can see where you get things wrong and can jump in to help.

cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] terius:
i restarted the pc and started from the begining, here is the screenshot

I was able to convert 9 to ext4

but when I tried 10 I got the following message

thanks forest for everything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kikasa23:
Tried the steps, completed successfully. sadly it does not work, guess i will be dropping by ssc tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] matiasg85:
Terius, do you have gtalk? Add me to your chat list, :) matiasg85@gmail.com, and i'll give you a hand.

And, about the screenshot, you are missing a space between umount and /cache, it should be like this: umount /cache, copy and paste it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] matiasg85:
Herk, i had the same problem than you. Please try the following:

1) Flash the kernel attached and the 16gb pit file trough odin

2) reboot into recovery mode (it should be working now)

3) Flash the kernel with the parted tools you like from CWM

4)Get back to us, and tell us how it went :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alekhkhanna:
This is EPIC ! After hours (and hours) of headbanging, I could rescue my GNote ! Installed XtraLite and it ran fine.

Now the itchy fingers have restarted ICS Stock ROM installation via CWM. Hope all goes well. :/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] matiasg85:
That's great man!! Keep us all posted about the official ics rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uggies:
Yea I had that too. For me, mounting /system on recovery solved the problem. If you have CWM, try mount system and do the command

if /system does not work, try mounting /data or anything except /efs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blue_panther9_9:
terius

Can you please confirm that you know how to use adb?I have a feeling that you haven't setup the adb environment properly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] matiasg85:
I've helped him already via gtalk, we did everything right, but the phone was still bricked. We will try tomorrow with another memory range.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Herk718:
Still doesn't boot into recovery, just keep reboot into splash screen :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kidney86:
Im at work now, can't wait to get home to try it...thanks a lot
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alekhkhanna:
SO tried both stock GB and ICS ROMs. While the initial flashing goes fine, after the reboot, when it tries to verify and update package, an error crops up saying "Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip (Status 7). Installation aborted".

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Herk: Try to flash the modIfied PIT file from hg42 in another thread in the general to see if it heps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
I thought unmount. But it does not harm to try both options with cwm since you problem with mount/unmount.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
I would try different roms but if they still do not work then try to go back to adb to recreate Cache partition as in the guide. See if it helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Herk718:
I got recovery!!!!! :) hey forest, once I enter parted then after I print my table I enter the rm 9 command and its giving me the following error--- ERROR: partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 is being used. You must unmount it be you modify it with parted. ??? But when I do rm 10 & rm 11 it going thru fine. Any suggestions???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Good to see progrees.

9 is system.

go back to shell and do

~ # umount /system

if it does not work use unmount function in CWM

cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uggies:
When I did mine, i got that message doing rm 10... haha

Maybe try unmount everything except /efs in recovery and try again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Herk718:
Its won't let me in shell its says system resources are busy, and when I do it in cwm it does it but adb won't allow shell unless system is mounted :( help please.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Uggies has gone through this so probably can give better advice.

Otherwise I guess may need to close cmd and restart it or restart the whole process.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Now what? :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kent27:
i got into adb shell and successfully parted from 3322 to 4215 and name 9 factoryfs

however from 4215 to 6362 i got "input/output error during write on /dev/block/mmcblk0"

which area should i choose next as i get unrecognused disk label by trying some other numbers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
That mean that area is faulty.

In that case start your datafs partition from somewhere near 6000MB up and try some different option to have your best size of UMS while avoiding the faulty areas. Just need to do some math and trying. Give datafs only 893MB so that you have more room for UMS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
I'm stuck on this point! Should i use a PIT file to relocate?

Edit:

Flashing the PIT file fixed it :D

Now i get this from

print

:

Now this commands for remmaping system factoryfs and data...

What sizes do i use?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Similarly that area is faulty. Just have to choose some other area
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Please see my post above yours! I edited it :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
You can try to restart again see if it work.

It is easier to use the Modified PIT file by hg42. So if you do not feel can do manual then try with hg42 PIT first.

If it does not workout then try the manual way with other partition size options.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kent27:
hi forest, how to go from <parted> to ~#?

do i type <parted>adb shell?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
If you have been able to flash PIT sucessfully. First try to install rom from CMW (you have to be sure you are using a safe GB kernel. the ICS kernel are not safe now to use to install roms with CWM) or use odin.

If it does not work then follow the guide in post 12 again.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

type "quit"

(parted) quit

I miss that code in one version of the guide but I have updated that in the guide in post 12
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
I've downloaded the PIT file from hg42 :D

So.. i still can enter download mode and cwm!

Should i flash a rom together with the PIT file?

Edit:

Flashing a rom thru PC Odin still stops on factoryfs.img!

Will redo the flashing of PIT.. flash a GB kernel and will try CWM!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
If it still stop at factoryfs then cwm maybe not work either.

Have you flash PITY form hg42? try that see if it work. If it does then go back to the manual way again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
CWM didn't work as i suspected!

I flashed sucessfully the PIT file of hg42!

But when i try to do the manual steps i get IO errors!

Any ideas? :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kidney86:
Actually I faced the same problem and he should NOT quit, it should go like this:

(parted) mkpart 6362MB 6363MB

mkpart 6362MB 6363MB

mkpart 6362MB 6363MB

End? 15.2GB

15.2GB

15.2GB
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Need some more clarification. Did you:

1. flash hg42

2. flash rom

then not work.

then now get back to Manual way and encounter input/output error?

If so need to tell where? post something then we can work out together where to start the new partition to avoid that faulty area.

Good to know. I am glad that I have a company :) Lets keep ourselves updated shall we?

ATM I am trying to flash a ROM through CWM, and see how it goes

Update 2: After the flash, adb shell command gives me this
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] incisivekeith:
I am closely following this thread, as I am in a similar situation.

Forest, I am trying to redownload Kies, as you suggested, to get rid of the /bin/sh not found error. But while I do that, as Nitrate suggested, should I also format my /system and /data and then try to flash a stock GB ROM?

I flashed angelom's ICSTESTKernel to get rid of the binary flash counter and the triangle, as mentioned here and now I have the full touch recovery installed, which allows me to mount /system and /data.

I hope this post is not seen as hijacking the thread, as it is quite related to the issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
try a format for /system and /data, if both are successful you might be able to flash.

if not follow the same steps that Nitrate is documenting, as he is further advanced in his revival struggle then you are
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] incisivekeith:
Although I am going through the exact same situation and have made no progress, I am very happy to see your progress, as I have been following this thread. :)

I had to install the android sdk using SDKManager from the big adb folder (if I recall correctly) to get rid of the libs.co not found error. Try doing that. After that, when I try "adb shell" I get the 'bin/sh" not found error.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nitrate:
i pushed back the system folder of my GB firmware to the system partition of my Note. But i can't get rid of the "Permission denied (13)" error when trying to execute "adb shell"...

running "Fix permissions" from CWM doesn't solve this problem...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uggies:
I pushed whole /system file to my phone's system too, but when I command adb shell, I get permission denied (13)

Tried Fix permission in CWM, but still no luck..

Any suggestions please?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nitrate:
maybe a whole /SYSTEM folder as an UPDATE.ZIP for CWM-Update would do the trick to be able to execute ADB SHELL
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
So several things might be happening :

the shell is not present in system/bin

the permissions are not set , try to set it to 777

you are not in the adb tools folder on the pc

you don't have root on the phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uggies:
Please let me know how it goes..

How do you set permission to 777? could you please copy the code?
