I cannot format the factoryfs through CMW. Is there any other way?

Also, the FACTORYFS line says '9 3323 4216 893 FACTORYFS'

Please help me, as I got the phone used and the warranty is now void.

EDIT: A few years later :p , Using the dd method, all other partitions seem fine. Attempting to check FACTORYFS using ADB results in CMD freezing. Formatting /data results in the phone hanging. PLEASE HELP ME :crying::crying:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
You need to do repartition. You can use custom pit file in I.2.0 or manual.method using II.5.1 to 5.3.

Btw, i do not fully understand some points in your post. To avoid misunderstanding and wrong ad ixe you should post your curent partition table, using parted print.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nexiifan:
This occurred AFTER following steps 5.1 through 5.3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
That seems to indicate you had more extensive damage. Did you use dd before repartition?

Now you can do further repartition using option 1 to 5.

Still, before trying that, should use hg42 scanner to identify brick start and brick end. That will make things easier.

I just installed ICSTESTkernel by angelom which gave me custom touch recovery before reading your post. I rooted it using the su busybox and then connected to the laptop, but adb count recognize the device. I unplugged the phone, and now, I am trying to format /system again using that recovery, but I will wait until it shows "Done" or reboots.

After that, I will flash the Abyss kernel and do what uggies is doing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Yes.

Now do the following:

run adb shell first.

then "umount /cache"

then "umount /data"

then "umount /sdcard"

see if it works

Should try to avoid format system using that kernel. it is not safe. You can just flash abyssnote using odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] incisivekeith:
Yes, I aborted the operation and now I am trying to flash CM9, but the CM9 kernel I found was instructions to flash it via Odin, while uggies flashed it with CWM. I don't know how to convert the CM9 kernel to flash it using CWM. I want to confirm that CWM is the recovery that is the full touch recovery that's provided in dr. ketan's guide - correct?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
It should be fine to flash via odin (with tar file) if it is zip then flash using cwm.

But I still suggest install abyssnote then boot into recovery and then install su and busy box (normally it should already been with the kernel but if it does not work we just flash again which is fine).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uggies:
What the ...........

I just installed cm9 ROM and its now on booting animation? But it does not boot up completely just hangs on boot animation.

This makes me even more confusing
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
WOW. does it mean you got rom install successfully? if so change to another rom that is matching with kernel then it should work. did you install via CWM? if it works it is good.

Thanks again, i've managed to get here now. BUt after i enter (parted) mkpartfs primary ext2 1174 2100, i'm getting an i/o error and the option to retry, ignore, or cancel.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uggies:
Would love to, but what matches with abyssnote kernel? Holy ... my heart is beating so quick
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] incisivekeith:
Fingers crossed!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
That area in your memory maybe not good. perhaps should cancel and select another area. you can look at the reference partition table and try to work out the suitable number. May try to use the area of the original factoryfs again from 281 to 1174. Since sometime it is the datafs that is faulty. with parted you can try different partition size (like drnull have shown in his post) and see what size works. it maybe a bit tedious though.

Most of gb rom. stock and custom. Do not worry.

at Dr ketan's post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

there are many rom. I have used stock room with abyssnote and works fine.

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

That may show you do not have full root or proper adb access yet.

Also try to copy and paste the commands (right click mouse adn paste) and follow the guide carefully

Can you post the screen shots?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cescomanto:
uooooo ! i was restarting without convert partition /data to ext4 (leave ext2) and phone unbricked ! It start to the language choose ! So i think that is the correct road for all ! All was laggy so i think for errata partition table (ext2/ext4). Now i return to adb and i screenshot to message and post it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] incisivekeith:
I tried uggies' method to get adb shell working but without any success. I still get the "-exec 'system/bin/sh....failed: no such file or directory (2) -" error. Oh well. So frustrating I can't even get adb working!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] copperdawgnc:
Has anyone tried abyss 3.9 and redpill recovery?

Sound very good :). what rom did you flash after recreate the partition?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] incisivekeith:
Can you please post some steps you took? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nexiifan:
1. DUDE NOT COOL

2. Yes, I did use dd before repartition as well. It didn't show any format for FACTORYFS then too (should've put that in the OG post, but oh well).

3. hg42 scanner gives me different results upon booting CWM, ranging from 27-15033 to 12333-12334 (over a period of 15? tests)

1. You neee to use the parted command in 5.1-5.3 and change the start and end number ( in mb).

2. Download custom rom.zip and put in sdcard and flash using cwm. Should works similarly to cm9.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
OK. Good to hear it works, given such extensive damage encountered.

you need to read Entropy sticky post in the General section 9second sticky thread) to know about Buggy ICS stock kernel and what not to do to avoid hitting the emmc brick bug again.

About rom: you should be able to use any custom roms. Just should spend time to read more on different rom thread, then you should know which one you like better...and should read carefully on the instruction on how to flash a certain rom. I would stick with any rom that is working fine, given the phone's memory condition...

32G bricked N7000

Hello,

I Purchased on Ebay a 32G Galaxy note N7000

It received it with Android 4.03, but I don't know the history of this device...

I carefully read all the posts about bricked phones.

So I decided to flash my phone using an original GB stock rom which is supposed to be safe.

I directly flashed it without wiping before... I didn't even enter in recovery mode

But the flash operation blocked in odin at factoryfs.img... and now, the phone can only enter download mode (not recovery).

I noticed two stange things :

- the phone had only 24G memory when I received it : is it the clue that it has been repartitionned before I bought it, avoiding detroyed parts of its memory ?

- in odin, the id:com case is not yellow as it should be as mentionned in the flashing tuto

Could someone help me to know what to do now..

Is my phone bricked or am I doing something wrong while flashing.

One more thing : I uninstalled kies and I stopped my avast but I've the same problem.

Thank you.

Edit : I just tried exactly the same operations with another PC.. and it works !

I presume now that my phone is not bricked...

Lets now continue the installation : root and a safe rom (rocket)...

You won't get a solution because in a bricked device with repartition workaround there will always be problems like this.

for freezing N7000 aft PIT method repair

i had 1 week behing My note to get it working in normal conditions. it freezes during installing apps frm store and on every heavy processes.

i mostly tried stock gb, ics and JB

now found a temp method to avoid freeze.

install Jb stock ( i used UAE version) .

get started but keep the device cool.

if its getting hot, remove battery and keep untill it cools down completely.(even slightly hot wont work)

get root ( i flashed SU signed)

get the app " system tunner"

set CPU to 1 Ghz-( reduce from 1.4 to 1.0) notice the cpu Temp

set the Cache to 1024( in memory)

set recommened settings (in system control)

set all 3 in boot apply

and install allll other apps. just dont try to overload , use it with care.

yeah some apps like spen apps load slower but it works

Did you send your phone in for repair while rooted? or did you restore it back to stock and unrooted?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ReNeH99:
It was on XXLSZ unrooted (completely stock), as i had the most freezes on this firmware.

Regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SammyBoyWonder:
ok, thanks. I also have the freezing issue after reviving my bricked note. I called Samsung today, and they said my phone is still under warranty. Before I send the phone back to them though for repair I need to flash to a stock rom. I live in the UK but there doesn't appear to be a UK stock JB rom. Do you think it will be ok if I flash the rom for another country, for example Germany (N7000XXLSZ N7000OXALSZ) or Singapore maybe (N7000DXLSE N7000OLBLSE). I'm just worried that the repair centre might notice this. what do you think?

Also, installing a stock rom wont increase my binary count will it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ReNeH99:
I wouldnt flash a rom from another country, maybe they check the rom and the CSC-code.

Stay on a ICS rom, i dont even think they will check if it even freeze. Binarycounter will not raise.

Regards

Edit: Okay, i got it back a few hours ago! I got it with XXLSZ (DBT), and its running very well, about 4 hours uptime. My record on XXLSZ was something with 20 minutes. Seems like they changed the motherboard and the backside (the chromething) and the cameraglass. I still have the same IMEI, but a new WLAN-Mac. Running very well. But i will not root it now. I dont have the balls for that atm :D

Now im in love again for the note! ♥

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SammyBoyWonder:
Happy days :victory:. I'm glad your story had a happy ending. I hope mine does too. I'm still waiting for Samsung to send me the package to send my phone in. You mentioned I should try an ICS rom. This one is the latest one I can find for the the UK:

N7000XXLRK---4.0.4/12.07.24-N7000CPWLP5--Download---United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse)

I'm going to flash this stock rom, and hopefully my phone will pass through the repair centre without any issues :fingers-crossed:.

Because I am currently on JB (with a safe kernel), there shouldn't be any problems doing a full wipe right? :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ReNeH99:

I try yesterday to put a new kernel "speedmod-kernel-n7000-jb-k5-3-Odin.tar" with odin Odin3 v1.85 and worked,after that wanted to put new ROM 4.1.2 "Samsung-Updates.com-GT-N7000-BRI-N7000ZSLO2-1364028476" and get stuck at somethink like factoryfs.img , after 20 minutes I turn off phone by keeping 30 second power button,and got "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" . I open again Odin3 v1.85 and put the same kernel "speedmod-kernel-n7000-jb-k5-3-Odin.tar" and was succesfully instaled.That was yesterday,today I try to put with "Odin3 v3.07" kernel "4pda_kernel.tar" and my phone wasn`t respond and got back to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" , now I can`t enter in recovery mode and can`t install the same kernel I installed yersterday.
