Hi: option 4 is use for the case of damage with partition 11 and we do not know exactly where (maybe running hg42 partition scanner can help identify the correct location of brick start and end).

When mentioning "error in block 10" do you mean partition 10. If that is the case then should use the steps in 7.2 in the guide.

The removal of partition 12 does not give much space (only about 500mb) and it is more complicated so should not try to do it for now.

Btw, it is noted that manual repartition is reversible, so if you have create partition in a wrong way, then just remove them and recreate again. also remember to name them correctly and format them using CWM. If everything is done properly odin should work. Still you can try to install custom rom using CWM in case odin still have problem. Let me know how it goes. cheers.

SUCCESS .......At last.

Dear Forest1971 ....Just now i revive my note.last seven days very worst for me.At last end of that episode.In my last reply i told i stucked on adb cmd.Here the revive steps

1. download CM9 kernel & installed in CWM that i previously installed

2. Recovery mode

3. ADB cmd

4. tried steps 5 to 7 ....but failed

5. Succeed option 4 n step 8 & check all partition accordingly your thread

6. Download CM9 custom room & gapps .....put n Ext sd

7. Reboot in recovery....installed from sd card

8. rebbot......but stuck on CM9 boot screen

9. Reboot in recovery...wipe delvik cache....wipe factory reset

10. Reboot.....SUCCESS.

I checked wifi, mobile data,voice call....al r ok.

Thank U very very much. ur thread saved many people's smart phone.Wish many useful post from u upcoming days.

Plse do me an another favour......should i install stock GB/ ICS rom on my note.i am scared if my note again bricked ...!!!!

Take care;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Good to hear that you could make it :). the steps you posted will be useful for others (especially for the inexperienced users) to revive their brick Note. From the feedback we got so far it seems CM9 is a good choice for emmc-brick revival phone sine it is lightweight and working well. GB and ICS rom should be ok, but make sure to avoid wiping under ics stock kernel. cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] suvasishngn:
Thanks for ur response...All r ok in my note except internal memory which shows 3.83GB available.is there any way to revive lost memory.Another thing i forgot to mentioned....still nw any GB r ICS stock rom cant be installed.after completion in odin in recovery screen it stuck.plse give me ur opinion 2 solve above mentioned prob...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
For q1: unfortunately, the answer is negative. There is no known way to recover the damaged part of the memory yet.

For issue with odin: not sure what caused the problem. If you really like to use odin, then flash the custom pit file from link below and tick re-partition box, together with a stock rom. Then boot into recovery, format data and usbstorage. see how it goes.

http://www.mediafire.com/?4k982dw6891hcx1

This custom pit is corresponding to option 3 in point 8.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] suvasishngn:
yup i hav to compromised this.....is there any way to replace emmc chip? like cm9.zip which i installed n note in cwm recovery ....any GB r ICS zip file available? thanks again

Another thing u described in your "Guide for repartition workaround to fix super-brick Note"

STEP 9. Notes on recovering files from brick phone: For recovering data from internal sdcard, there are few ways below:

- You can try to install aroma file manager under CWM recovery using file from here. It works under recovery environment and allow you to copy files from internal sdcard to external sdcard.

- If that does not work, you can follow the guide until step 4, then in step 5 remove only partition 9 and 10 and leave partition 11 alone. Then try to create a full size partition 9 (factoryfs) with about 800MB and a very small size (100mb) partition 10 (datafs) and fit these two partitions within the remaining good area in the range from 281mb to 3322mb. Then you can install a custom rom and get it working to copy files to your PC. After that you can remove partition 11 to make full size partition 9 and 10 with steps as in the guide......

can i use this step......please do explain step9.i am nt clear here.take cre
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
The link for custom gb or ics can be found somewhere in point 6. Dont use steps in point 9. The procedures in point 9 is for the case when you want to recover photos and document in internal usb when the Note brick. Now it is no use anymore for yourcase. Btw, the custom pit in the link above is for the option 3 in point 8 so it maynot help in your case. Better use the custom gb or ics from the link i mention in point 6. If you still want odin i will send the custom pit corresponding to option 4 in point 8. Cheers.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
with option 4 there is no more room for a bigger UMS. Using a large external sdcard will help compensate the loss memory space. The corresponding custom pit for option 4 is in the link below. You can try it with a stock gb or ics rom.

First of all thank you very much for putting out this solution. At the step where i command (parted) print, the partition table shows but i do not get and filesystem for partition 9, 10 and 11. here is the text i get;

Secondly should i continue with removing these partitions and follow the method you prescribed as is?

I tried using the e2fsck -f -c –y /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 the output is as below;

"......ext2_fs_check_if_mount: cant check if filesystem is mounted due to missing mtab file while determining whether /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 is mounted

the super block could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. if the device is valid and really contains a valid ext2 filesystem ( and not a swap or ufs or something else) then the super block is corrupt and you might try running the e2fsck with an alternate superblock...."

Samsung galaxy S2

This method is brilliant. I followed the instruction and deleted partition 10 and 11. moved partiition 10 to the end of its original location than partition 11 after that one, format /data from CWM(which wasnt possible before) and flash unbranded ICS 4.0.3 from odin and GT-i9100 is working again.

The key is to check if partitions has erorrs and faults. I checked my and partition 10 always froze.

Will this method work on Galaxy note ATT?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Check if Odin can pick it up (show the yellow com port). IF Odin pick it up you may want to flash stock rom and see if it help. There is some case when the bootloader for Note is wrong then the screen cannot display. In this case try to flash bootloader.

Another case is when there is damage to the screen. Then when you connect it to PC it will show usbstorage (or something similar to indicate the phone is working and only screen is not showing).

An the worse case is it is a hard brick when neither Odin nor Window see anything. Then you need Jtag. Hope you can figure it out.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Yes it should work fine with ATT Note.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Make sure you are not on stock ICS (it is dangerous). For that you may want to flash the kernel attached to the guide in page 2 or a know safe kernel. Then let's go into CWM recovery, format system, format data, and format usbstorage. Then when (parted) print they should show correct format. Let me know how it goes.

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

Good to know it works for GS2:)! Thanks. The method should work for other phones as well. Just need to have roots and busybox then you will have parted to deal with the damaged partitions.

Boot Loop

First Off Forest thanks for the reply. I followed the steps in your guide and the new partitions are working fine. DD commands give correct in outs for all partitions. Now I have tried flashing several roms finally i flashed the T kernel recommended in ur post with CM9 stable version. As with all other roms the mobile goes into a boot loop. ( cm9 splash screen). Also in recovery mode when i try to mount /emmc/ it gives error " Error mounting /emmc/". What seems to be the problem here and what would be the recommended solution. Would greatly appreciate your help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
After flashing CM9 rom should go into recovery and wipe cache and factory reset. See how it goes.

In case still not work, then should try to reinstall rom or change rom.

cheers,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
With the current output it looks difficult. I would try to use (parted) print to see what the output is like. In order to use parted you need to make sure having custom recovery and busybox install (parted is part of busybox). Then try the procedures as in the guide to see run parted and print partition table.

thanks forest1971.......is there any corresponding custom pit for option 3?Hw can i use this pit....flashing it with rom at the same time or use separately? Is there any way to replace the damaged emmc or any alternate way to revive lost space?

The custom pit corresponding to option 3 was actually posted in post 1423.

flash it together with a stock rom.

so i instaled again CM 9, but it didn't finish. so i went into recovery in cm9 and i installed restruction remix. it showed a triangle and didn't work at first. so i wipped data...,than it went on. i was able to to to the homscreeen. but it is completly black, the only thing that i can see is the battery icon along with the signal status, and i am able to pull down the satus bar and turn of the screen. but stiil everything else is black.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Ok, in a more careful look at the partition table I can see you have messed up with also cache partition and system partition.

Now should do the steps in 5.1; 5.2 and 5.3 in the guide. To make it easy i copied it below:

(parted) rm 9
(parted) rm 10
(parted) rm 11
(parted) rm 12
(parted) mkpart primary 3322.881536 4216.268288
(parted) mkpart primary 4217 6364
(parted) mkpartfs primary fat32 6364 15800

(parted) name 9 FACTORYFS
(parted) name 10 DATAFS
(parted) name 11 UMS

-------------

5.3. Convert format for 9 and 10: The above steps have created three new partitions. However, for 9 and 10 the format is ext2 and now need to be converted to ext4.

The easiest way is to go back to CWM in your phone. Then, go into mounts and storage menu and choose format /system and format /data. It will convert file system of partition 9 and 10 to ext4 automatically for you.

If the above steps are successful then check:

~ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
(parted) print

Then should install a custom rom.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi guys, i'd like to get your insights regarding my situation.

After reviving my Note to a *buggy* ROM (RocketROM_JellyBean_v2, but it's probably just mine), i was forced to reflash due to its issues (e.g. crashing Messaging and keyboard). I tried other ICS ROMs that used to work fine on my Note, but I can't seem to get a good install (e.g. freezing install, won't proceed after SAMSUNG logo, etc.). So, I attempted to install RRJBv2 again, and voila, it was "successful" after a few tries.

For some reason, this is the only ROM i can seem to install on my Note. I'm tempted to try TriangleAway and send it back to Samsung (though I'm scared that they'll find out since it's not hard bricked).. :P

Thanks, more power! :)
