Dear all,

I forgot to reset the flash count before I sent my GN to samsung.

However, they still fix my GN as free of replace the motherboard.

Thanks God

Me idiot

Uarghh! When trying to go to a newer CWM backup after repartitioning my phone, I by chance grabbed an ICS... and continued without thinking flashing the next backup - so I've again flashed with an ICS kernel ... bootloop again. My emmc now probably looks like an Emmental cheese...

At least I proved it's reproducible.

wiping on ics is a crazy action.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
I am very happy too to see you get your Note back working again. Congratulation!

As for the partition format just go back to adb shell and run parted then print command you can see the partition table with the format again.

If it is still ext2 you can repeat the 4 steps to convert it to ext4, (or you can format it using cwm it should convert as well.)

The speed of 1.5 MB per second is not too slow.

cheers,

Thanks for sharing good news. Very happy to see you get it work again.

It seems that the new partition will need a custom PIT with the updated info from the new partition table to work. There is custom PIT file made by hg42 (in another thread in general) which will help to repartition if you do not have any faulty area in your former sdcard area. Try with that PIT and if you get success will be able to flash via odin again.

One the other hand, flashing a large rom file through usb cable can also has chance to make things go wrong especially if you use non-standard usb cable.

Therefore, flashing from cwm is not a bad idea.

There are ways to convert .tar rom to .zip for using with CWM but also a bit complicated. below is oneway. I've not tried it yet.

For those of you having trouble flashing stock rom in odin PC, use this View attachment pit-brick-patched-from-Q1_20110914_16GB.zip in the pit file section.Make sure you unzip first an it should flash.

P.S - I also recommend using a stock rom that has CSC,Modem, and PDA files in it, for I've had success with that ;)

Thank you!

I'm not bricked, but I have to thank Uggies for creating this thread, forest1971 for sharing his knowledge and for his dedication/patience, and all the users who have been reporting their progress.

I've learned a lot in here. The info found in this thread is not only useful for Note. Definitely, it's a must read/follow thread.

Thx!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Thanks for nice comments :)!

Yes. I guess it is useful partition tools for all android devices.

Yes, it's work good. But lose 3Go of memory when you don't have an other SD it's a little bit huge lol. And I would not have time to try again. I will try to change the phone where I buy it but it's not sure that will work. So I hope, at least, that they would be ok to repare my phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] a1919kimo:
i flash the tar file, but still can not into recovery mode!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
But could you get into recovery before?

Sometime it is just need to do the procedures in a right way:

"Hold down Volume Up, Center Home button, and Power buttons together and let go of Power button after your Galaxy Note resets then shows the Galaxy Note splash screen."

Otherwise, there maybe other problem with your phone that prevent it from getting into recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] a1919kimo:
Yes, I always flash the custom ROM via recovery, so I know the way into recovery !!

Other problem?? What can I do?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
I mean if before flash kernel.tar can you get into recovery. if yes, then just try to flash the kernel again. also try speedmod kernel as well since people get in work with speedmod.

If you could not get into recovery before flash kernel.tar then there may be other problem with the recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] a1919kimo:
I can not get into recovery, speedmod kernel tried already yesterday.

When I flash ROM via Odin that stay factoryfs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Maybe try to flash the custom PIT file from hg42 in another thread in general. see how it goes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Herk718:
I had the same problem and this is what I did, I flash the kernel tar file (with a custom recovery), Custom pit file, the CSC file from any stock rom along with the modem file. And after flashing, it should boot into recovery by itself and do some sort of update. After that recovery should work fine, then you can flash (in CWM)the 4pda kernel with custom recovery zip not tar.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] unkeen:
Superunbricked:

I unbricked my N7000 with forest1971's instructions. Out of routine, I made a data and dalvik cache erase and the bug hit me hard. :eek:

I thought that it has to be the partition map and forest1971 had the idea to use parted. THANK YOU!

Installed kernel via odin, went into recovery, rm 9,10,11 and recreated them following the guide. Afterwards I flashed a GB-rom via ClockworkmodRecovery "ROCKET-v22-LA6-eybee1970.zip" which works like a charm.

And my Note is back! Thank you very much. :):)

By the way. Shame on Samsung for not helping or fixing the bug!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Very nice to hear that :):D!

cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shkippo:
Yes it looks fine.

Also the internal storage (datafs partition) is now only 850mb which I think is quite sufficient. It is good that now you still have a large sdcard partition of more than 11GB, so you did not loose any useful space.

In case your internal data partition fill-up and not enough for installing more applications (which I doubt will be the case for most users) you can go back and change the size again (taking the space from UMS partition).

About slow data transfer: my phone also have similar slow data transfer even though I have not messed with it's partitions. So I am not sure why yet.

cheers[/QUOTE]

its not a big problem but i surprised when i saw it about 800 mb and b4 it was about 1890 mb

and like you said i can take space from UMS but i dont want to take risk again :D

anyway if someone else have that space like i had and want to take space from UMS what they should do this time !!!! bcz now after we revive our note we only have prob with low space not in FACTORYFS so they should do all the method in CMD or only They should work in UMS and DATAFS ?????

thanks you again for your patience :)

P.S : i already sell my black note ;)

and soon of possible i will get a white note :) and i will never do again the same fault in ICS never wipe or format :cool:

and i hope this bug go away in the new ICS samsung firmware

good luck for everyone and thanks you all especialy a big thanks for forest1971 and Uggies :)

I installed the zip file via CWM and reboot in recovery!!

Should I replace with abyss kernel ??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
If you already installed the CWM-4-pda.zip and still cannot runt parted then it looks like there is a more serious problem here. In another forum there a similar case which is quite difficult.

I would just need to try to install one of the kernel with cwm suggested and see if you can run adb then parted print and can see partitions.

Someone also suggest thor kernel which can be download from this site:

http://www.tegraowners.com/?cat=95

Also the method suggested in some post above can also be tried.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] speterlau:
millions of thanks

thanks!! forest1971 and other members!!

I have to express my gratitude to u guys after unbricking my gnote.

Here is the story. I used officical ICS which was updated from GB through KIES. First I rooted the ics phone with SU-Busybox-Installer & CWM.zip successfully. After reboot, it looked fine. Then I tried to enter cwm recovery and I found that it was official recovery mode. I decide to install CWM.zip again and I successlly entered CWM recovery. After that, I installed abyssnotekernel42cwtouchoriginalLogo.tar without reboot recovery, and click factory reset.

The nightmare came...................

It shucked at factory reset about 5mins and then reboot. The boot screen was shucked. I can't even enter recovery mode.

Here is what i did after that.

1) Flash GB stock rom using Odin v1.85 (tried 2 versions of GB stock rom), Stuck at FACTORYFS.img

2) Flash abyssnotebkernel using Odin v1.86, success! I could enter cwm recovery. Surprise me!

I kept search about brick, unbrick, etc..... and I read a lot about corrupted ICS. therefore, i m afraid to do any more progress. Finally I found your guide to unbrick my gnote. My Gnote revived!!!

Here is the question.

Is it ok if I flash abyssnotebkernel successfully and conduct full wipe under official ICS?

What should and shouldn't I do to deal with the faulty system partitions? Will it affect the firmware update through KIES or Odin?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Hi good to hear it helps :D.

No body seems to have tried with updating through Kies.

As for Odin: it looks like after we re-partition we need a customized PIT file which reflect the exact new partition scheme in order to flash successful with Odin.

There has been a custom PIT file by member hg42 that can be used for the case that you have no faulty block on UMS partition (actually suggested in few post above). You can try it. Still I would suggest using CWM to install roms. It still works well. cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] a1919kimo:
the kernle (thor-kernel-v0.4+Thor-Recovery-1.8-cwm) I flashed, not find...

is the method of hg42 suitable for me?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Just need to try it. It works if their is no faulty blocks in UMS partition.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] a1919kimo:
thor-kernel-v0.4+Thor-Recovery-1.8-cwm I flashed reboot into recovery mode, install the ZSLA2, it work...

Now I am restoring my back up...

But I got the problem with attached picture, my USB storage is smaller, should I flash a pit (16G) again?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Good to see you get it working again :).

No you should not flash that PIT since you need a customed one. If you flash the original PIT things would most certainly to mess up again.

You loose some space of sdcard because those are faulty areas that cannot be used. But I can see you have large storage, is your Note 32gb version or is your Note somehow can support external card?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] a1919kimo:
it happened again by flashing another pit file, 32G is external storage...

I can not into recovery mode again and I follow the way of mine, it does not work this time...

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

It works again, steps that I find.

1.flash pit that hg42 attached via odin. (now can be into recovery)

2.flash the kernel thor-kernel-v0.4+Thor-Recovery-1.8-cwm, reboot in recovery.

3.flash the ROM ZSLA2(including root+CWM) via CWM

4.restore my back up via CWM.

step 2 is necessary, I have no idea why it is necessary.

but the atorage is the asme, would you please offer the pit of custome?

Thanks to Uggies for the thread and Forest and Prabhu for the solutions and all the posters and their success stories.

Solved my problem.... :) revived my almost dead note back on abyss 3.9 kernel and XXLC_CheckROM_NoteHD_V6 rom.... But now my counter is up to about 17.

Where can i find a CWM flashable stock ICS rom to use the triangleaway app? I cant use odin, freezes at the start of factoryfs write.

No need to go to any service centre and pay thousands to sammy service center ppl.

Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss, it worked it worked it worked , my giant beauty is back to life :-) , my galaxy note is breathing android again :-)

Thanks a lot Forest 1971 (I think he liked Forest Gump :rolleyes:),but what a genius he is , he helped m bring back my phone to life .

Guys , i had installed ****ing KingDroid rom v2.1 with S3 mod on it , and i after i used it for a while i felt like going back to cyanogenmod 9 nightly . But was foolish enough to do a data wipe and factory reset on LPF or LP8 based rom :-( , what an idiot i was . I had read clearly to not to do that mistake but yet i did it !!!!!!!. i thought my phone's final resting place was either dustbin or in samsung service center , where i had to pay around 10,000 Indian Rupees , roughly 200$ t fix my phone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But no , i sat for an hour , read the method explained by Forest 1971 and followed it , and flashed checkrom v6 . And Boom , it started :-) :-):-) .Guys download android sdk from developers.android .com and install it . It has in built adb ( Android Debug Bridge ) , the download link posted by Forest , didnt work for me , but i figured out that adb comes pre installed with android sdk and is present in the platform-tools folder . So add its link or full path to the environment variable and follow exactly as mentioned by Forest 1971 . It worked for me . Thank you for all the ppl whose posts helped me get my phone to life :-), thanks a lot . And very very imp NOTE : KING DROID Sucks and takes life from your phone , so dont do the mistake which i did . And i have tried every single custom rom released till now including paranoid rom (awesome rom ), but the safest , fastest , lag-free , best battery life , Galaxy Note Saviour rom is CheckRom revo v6 . take my word , its the best even though its Gingerbread rom:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool: Nd by the way i am just 19 year old computer science engg:)

Seems my UMS partition has bad sectors too.

I did rm 11 and repartioned it quite a few times... just to check for bad sectors, i partitioned it in ext2 format to run the e2fsck... no error.

Most of the times the phone doesnt boot up, stays stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Note N7000" screen and its got the dreaded Yellow Triangle...

When it does boot up... it freezes whenever I install any new application.... via market or sdcard... also many times the background applications suddenly force close and the phone freezes.

Tried removing the cache partition and making it again.... no help.

To get the phone to boot, I have to go through the grind.... repartition the whole thing, install 4pda_kernel.tar kernel ... abyss39.zip cwm and checkrom v6 rom.

BTW, my partition is exactly like Forest has suggested in the 12th post, FACTORYFS starts from where USM would actually start, at 3322.... and I have also reduced DATAFS size to 1gb, as suggested.... now my UMS starts at 5362 instead of 6362 as suggested by Forest in the 12th post.
