Ok, i will try this... it gonna take me some time to try it, cause i have to sold my phone motherboard wit the riff and then resurrect it (it takes a lot of hours to do it :/ ).. i will post my results here at the time i finish everything! I have a question, why do i lose my EFS when i apply the custom PIT patch? why does it happen? Is it any way to prevent this when i resurrect the phone? I guess this is not normal (losing EFS when applying patched PIT) i lost 3 or 4 Gigas, does it has something to do with it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adilaui:
THANKS

Thank you so much. Followed steps and saved my phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
loosing efs has nothing to do with the patched PITs.

These partitions are not changed by these PITs.

The first one changed is factoryfs.

I don't get why you bricked your phone again.

Perhaps your efs is also bricked now?

Does accessing efs freeze the phone?

Sorry, I don't know how to flash efs with odin.

If you have an efs image, you can write it with dd to /dev/block/mmcblk0p1.

Odin might know how to flash it if you put the EFS*.tar.md5 in PDA box, but it only a guess.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sar17:
Its weird, but the phone doesnt freezes, and when i install a GB stock rom, it gives me errors (the ones i wrote in my last post, but when i restart the phone it boots ok and it enters normally, but it doesnt have signal ,it has no imei, no sim , unknown and no service, but wifi and eerything else works perfect! the thing is that i dont know how i lost the efs partition ,and i dont know why it doesnt recovers with the stock roms, i tried latest ICS roms and nothing seems to work, my phone is now super hard bricked (it was accidentaly, by flashing a PIT and a kernel at the same time, that was my mistake) and i couldnt resurrect it yet, but im working on it, because its completely dead! when i resurrect it i will try to flash the efs files with odin! ***(E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument) E:check_selective_file:Cant amount /efs E:multi_csc:Cant mount/ efs Multi-csc applied failed)** it doesnt freezes, but i guess the procces is incomplete and it fails to install those files, the efs ones.

Hi should try clear cache, dalvik cache and data. If that not work then try another rom. Cheers.

Note that abyssnote works with gb rom but not ics.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sar17:
Hi, i have a new weird problem, after doing the whole process i did ( unbricking, patched pit) now i can only install gb roms (stock and custom) theres no way to instal correctly an ICS stock rom, if i acieve to do it, i get a lot of errors (like a square in the back of the main screens, a square that shows csc modem and cda and other information) but thats when i achieve to install it ( something that i cant do anymore because it stucks in cache or data..etc) i dont know why this happens... do you know what can i do to fix this? i already did the abyss kernel, wipe data, cache, dalwik.. everything, and it doesnt install ics roms! i flashed a stock gb rom and i tried to install a stock official rom via KIES (via update) and it also stucks in the process! i cant find a way to install a clean stock iCS rom! **Note: if i install an ics rom after 100 of tries, it stucks in ïnstalling applications" and it doesnt ends the process.** PLEASE HELP WITH THIS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Have you tried to install a safe ics first such as Notecore or Speedmod, then install a custom ICS such as Cleanote using the CWM yet? Steps should be like:

1. Install Notecore or Speedmod kernel

2. boot into CWM of new kernel

3. wipe cache, dalvik cache and data

4. install custom rom.zip of Cleanote (or another custom ICS rom).

5. reboot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sar17:
The thing is that i want a stock ICS rom, i dont want a custom one, and i tried many ways to do it.. but it never installit clean, its always an error! or it get stuck somewhere while its installing! and i dont know why im not able to instal stock 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
May be if you have CWM back up of a stock rooted rom then can restore. Otherwise should try Heimdall (search in xda) to install stock ICS. Sometime odin do not work but Heimdall does.

btw, stock ICS is affected by the emmc bug so do not know why you want it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sar17:
Yes, i know youre right.. i better stay away from ics, i mean its more fluid than gb (thats why i want it) , but with that bug its better to not install it, i thought 4.0.4 didnt has that bug anymore! but its ok to know it.. thanks for the info/advice!! maybe i should search for an 4.0.4 based custom rom, but do you think a ics custom rom will be succesful to install? or will it fail also? ** i want something that looks like generic touchwiz, cause i dont like the look of cyanogen and stuff like that**
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
That is a right way to go. I heard many good comments about custom ICS rom such as Cleanote since it is much lighter and faster than full stock and still full function.

Just need to try. In theory it should install and work if you can do that already with GB rom.

btw, could you install stock GB via odin or only custom GB?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sar17:
Yes ,I could install stock gb via odin, and also i was able to update to ics official via kies once i installed stock gb with odin! (but in the procces of kies it was stucked) i installed a lot of gb stock roms and every rom went perfect via odin! and yes ill try a custom rom based on ics 4xx!

Yes, cm9 with safe kernel is fine. But should avoid ICS stock now because it is like a mess, causing many bricks. cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sar17:
Is it possible to install a custom rom (cm9) from internal sd? my phone strangely doesnt allow external sd cards in cwr! i rooted it from the internal sd with no problems using abyss kernel, so does it apply also to custom roms?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
No problem installing it from internal or external. Just need to mount internal sd to pc as usb storage and copy zip file to it, then flash. Btw, always should stay away from stock ics rom/kernel, and use a correct kernel for rom then you will be good. Cheers.

Error reading block

Hi,

I was trying to recover my note and followed your guide. I was checking the partitions for errors using this command "~ # e2fsck -f -c –y /dev/block/mmcblk0p10" partition 7 and 9 went well but struck at 10. It keeps saying error reading block....Kindly check attachment. Whats happening in this case? Should I leave it to check all the blocks? Is it fixing the corrupted blocks? or I shud I simply delete the partition and recreate a new one?

Thank you.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
The kernel is located in system ,not in boot partition ,as far as I know (from personal experience ) .if you have a nandroid backup that flashes system but fails to flash data ,you'll notice that the kernel and recovery changes if you reboot after that .which means the kernel is in the system partition .or at least these are my observations .

But he also formatted the emmc ,which means boot partition was also formatted which should result in a full brick if rebooted without first reflashing said partition .

I read that in a tutorial somewhere .

I'm afraid you used all your luck my friend ,time to go to service.

Good luck.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

Flash anything using CWM ,a GB nandroid backup or any custom GB ROM

Or even cm9.

But please don't repeate niterate's mistakes ,stay away from pit and official ICS or leaked lp5/6 kernels.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] incisivekeith:

I cannot believe this issue is so hard to figure out!

Hoping something can be done with adb, if I can get rid of the error "/bin/sh/...:No such file...(2)"

Nitrate, I hope you can somehow boot your phone. Maybe pull the battery out and let it be for 10 or so minutes, and then reboot, and try the method suggested by friedje.

CWM --------->mounts and storage -------->format emmc

Yes while true for a PC Linux ,smart phones and especially Samsung have different partition layouts ,where kernel and recovery are in the same partition .

And they wouldn't put the kernel on the boot partition (ie bootloader )cause then a corrupted kernel flash would brick the system for good .

It's also why many people could access download (bootloader or fast boot) but not recovery ,cause the kernel partition (system) is inaccessible while fastboot is just fine .

Fastboot is the most important file on your emmc not the kernel ,that's why every developers would warn against flashing a bootloader ,while kernel flashing is very easy and even done from within the system .

Again I'm no dev ,so if someone can prove me wrong please do so .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
The partitions you are trying to remove are in use by the system.

Don't boot the phone, just go into recovery and unmount system and data

I didn't read the thread that forester mentioned, but i suppose it is explained in the beginning how to proceed

You are on the right way to revive your phone, don't kill it by getting too excited. take your time to read and understand ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RealPariah:
If this is the case, boot recovery, on phone under mounts and storage be sure it says mount /system and mount /data (menu says opposite of current state). Then in adb run parted and it should allow removal. Again, This could be deadly in some ways please be sure you know that you need to do it this way and what could happen.

Exactly! Beats me why I have not been able to flash even one ROM since I invited this brick issue.

I want to stay away from the cf root kernel as it adds that yellow triangle and raises the flash counter, but if I absolutely have to use it, I will. I did ask in the forum about how to flash something (a ROM) using CWM, but never got an answer. Can I flash a stock ROM using redpill or stock recovery?

Hi uggies: good progress that you now get parted running!

Slow down guy. You need to read my guide again. it looks like you have not run "umount /cache" command (after shell) before doing parted.

also need to identify if you have problem with datafs or factoryfs?

If you stuck at factoryfs in odin, then probably that partition is faulty. So you can follow my guide at post 12.

I cant fix thru ssc. I am in Australia now I called australian ssc they said they cant fix my note cos its from hongkong. I shud send it to ssc of hongkong to get it fixed, which I cant do it.

I found that my ums is corrupted. so i flashed a pit for pits-patched-ums-bricked choosing the highest kb one and flashed gb kj1 factoryfs thru odin. Did a factory reset and got my note back it was working with force close errors. So, I just repeated the procedure flashing factoryfs using odin. It was successfully flashed but my note doesnt start this time. nothing on the screen even connecting to a charger doesnt show the battery charging.

I just ordered a jig. dont know if it can take my note into download mode. any suggestions how i can fix this? what do you think might have happened?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
It is not clear what caused it to not turn on. Most of the time it is caused by bootloader being damaged. It might be in some cases that the cable connection is not good or something happen at the time when bootloader or pit is flashed and it somehow cause damage to the bootloader.

The options, beside ss service, are: check battery, jig, then jtag riff box, then mother board replacement. If there are large damage already for the internal sdcard then probably 4th option will be likely. Still jig is simple and should always be tried. GL.
