@pinklips: this post including the quote applies to you, too

I looked into the experimental package for n7000 and noticed that cache starts at 54mb, but kernel starts at 37mb.

Kernel will be flashed by a new rom (or a kernel), so this is uncritical, too.

As a result, I have to correct myself, I should have said this:

"you can try the 'experimental' package, but anything moving partitions lower than kernel will need critical additional steps.

When moving starts from kernel or cache, you only have to add a 'format cache' after repartitioning, I think this can be done from recovery."

also, read the last 20 posts (or may be more) of this thread, all posts about moving bricks etc. and keep an eye on brick start and end from time to time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rraaka:
Seems this thread will always be on front page. :)

but Time for a break, hg42 ;)

Since you dont participate in the other hum drum threads I thought Id catch you in here :laugh:

OK, coming from your experiences with the Note, which other phone are you thinking of moving on to or already have ? or which would you reccommend ? and WHY ?

sorry for steering beyond the topic ... your opinion counts for me.

Thanks for the work for this commmunity and beyond.

with lots of love
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
I'll stay on the note for a while, because of the screen resolution (1280x800) and for having the maximum size I can live with.

Currently, I'm still quite happy with my n7000.

In early days I thought I would also need the pen, making the note unbeatable up to now.

But I noticed that I don't use it for real things.

So those upcoming models with even higher resolutions (but without a pen) may attract my attention. But I'm not a quick buyer. Most of the time I tend to let the market settle down on a new trend before buying a product.

Also, I think it's better for our environment to stay a while with a model. It's also better to stay as long as you can with something you know well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rman0:
hi dear hg 42 is there any way make a pit file start from 1100 or 1000? can u guide me to do it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gotcher:
Hey, since I revived my tab using your tutorial, I just want to ask if it's possible to mount/bring back the lost 9GB of space back.

I'm currently using the CM10 ROM. How hard is it to bring the lost data space back? A short how-to or a link to the same would be great. Thanks for all your help! :victory:

BTW: Ever since I lost the internal space I used Directory Bind to change the path of Spotify to my external SD. But it doesn't really work with this app because I always have to re-login every time I start the app (this isn't necessary when the default path is set). Is there something else I can use to change the directory of my apps?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
No, if you start with moving factoryfs, the gap starts with 281 9where factoryfs started before, if you choose datafs it starts at 1074. You could increase the modem partition, but that wouldn't help anyone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
Bricked blocks are bricked, period. Only chance would be to reset the emmc completely (which is a special procedure), but then you would need jtag.

Cm10 can switch internal and external sd.

I think it's a matter when the directory is bound.

An app binds too late if it uses it's own startup. You cannot control which app is started first.

The directory needs to be bound by scripts installed in the operating system (init.d scripts, or like cm10 which allows a userscript for this kind of things)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rman0:
tnx alot, would u explain more about the jtag method?? is there any risks to lose the phone totally? how much it will be successful?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
Google is your friend...or xda in this case...or may be youtube...

Search for: jtag resurrection

JTAG in this case is a method to initialize and manipulate your emmc via access through some dedicated processor pins.

You need jtag equipment (like riff box etc. ~150EUR) which has cables to be soldered to some pins on the board (difficult, because it's all very small and dense, for experts only).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] strategist99:
dear mates could someone post a similar method and files to recover my captivate i897.

its internal sd doesnt mount at all on flash.

i can flash odin or heimdall one clicks of uckk4 or others but after a successful flash the internal sd mount error comes up i mean mmcblk02 something..

i think its rather corrupt than dead.

pls help

regards

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

can someone confirm whether a phone bticked by encryption unsuccessful error be fixed.

i mean the internal sd now gone due to the said eu error be brought back.

pls guide

regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
if you really have an emmc brick, you should give me your stock PIT so I can have a look.

I have no clue what your are telling us here. I never heard of an "encryption unsuccessful" error.

This kind of brick seems to be unrealted to an "EMMC brick", which is a short form for something like "EMMC damaged by firmware bug and using MMC_CAP_ERASE while wiping".

this could be an emmc brick, caused by some bricked blocks in your internal sd, probably at the beginning.

But it could also be a different kind of problem.

Did you try to run the "emmc bug check" app?

Did you try my emmc scanner (try "find brick start/end" and/or "all partitions")?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] strategist99:
thnx for the prompt response hg42

i have now been able to install the gingerbread uckk4 on my external sd card of captivate i897

the internal sd cannot mount after flash if emmc or external sd card is not inserted

so my internal sd of 16 gb is unusable

even if i can recover half of it then i will be able to repartition it n install the os on internal normally without any external mmc

could u help me out on that pls

regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
you did not answer my questions:

After that I would need this:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BlackCl0udMY:
@hg42, you had save my n7000.. I try 1by1 your custom pitched(sorry cant really recall the file name) until i get the very low as it can get.. Coz im not a dev but still im a risk taker..

:)

Thanks again @hg42

Regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
so you were unable to use the scanners to get exact numbers?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BlackCl0udMY:
Nope, so i just manually try 1by1. But im lucky to get the pits from your posting sir..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zero-K:
Thank you so much!

My wife's i9100 was having problems off and on with the factory settings getting messed up and the home button not working.

After trying to flash a new rom to get rid of the problem and lots of searching later I found the /data partition was corrupted.

It took a few tries to get it to work, and I almost gave up but I'm glad I stuck with it.

At least her phone is working again and I'm not out $150 for a used one. (So of course a donation is sent :) )

Thanks for the hard work!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alnon:
HI hg42

can you make a pitfile (ATO) for the p6800 with the following start and end?

i scanned my tab with your scanners and this is the result:

start 1051 (1103)

end 5120 (5369)

the pits your posted have not the correct start. :crying:

Thanks a lote
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
The numbers don't have to match exactly.

The brick-between-x-and-y area only has to include 'your' brick area.

So x < 1051 in your case and y > 5120.

1053 isn't less than 1051, so you have to take a file with x=281

Note, it's not possible or useful to have an x somewhere between 281 and 1051, because the system partition (which starts at 281) has to be moved anyway.

Either the system partition is the first partition moved behind the bricked area which gives a start of 281 for the gap or the following partition is the first to be moved which gives a start of 1053. And the latter doesn't help in your case.

My Pit info

Hello dear hg42

I really thank you for this amazing Job my Phone now is working but I've small problem now first let me give you the no I've got when i did the start and end

1: first test before fixing the phone which is my galaxy note 16 GB (( Start: 707 -------- 744 )) (( End: 3072 ----------- 3222 ))

2 : after my note working I've lost some storage (( Start: 2047 ------ 2147 )) (( End: 3072 ----------3222 ))

now I need to know what is going on and which PIT file do I have to flash my note to return it back as before

plaese find something to my phone now it's too much slow and freezing all the time

merry christmas and Happy new year for you all :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
Please read the thread, these question were asked several times.

In short:

* you cannot reclaim the lost memory

* if it still freezes, your brick probably is still moving around

Use the device (with caution/backups) and scan again from time to time, may be you have to flash another pit then, because start and end are changing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iraqi-boys:
Thank so much

I'll scan it now and try to flash other pit file & hope to fix my phone

Thank you so much for this post its really save my day without it my phone was dead

friend have the following situation:

Start Brick: 1168 MIB-1225 MB

End Brick: 7168 MIB - 7517 MB

Could you please tell me which the pit to be chosen to use?

I'm really confused by this and don't know which one to choose!

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly:

Do you have only 256mb in usb storage now?

Or 256mb less than before?

It worked here ... just do the whole procedure and reading a lot to try to understand what the correct pit falshear via odin ... anyway ... it worked!

Yet I realize that I have a few crashes and some lags but can go taking it good!

Thank you and as they are occurring with the SGN I post here to try to resolve ...

Was killed, now more than ever, the Note this live ...

Thanks, buddy by his beautiful and hard work!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
lately there are many questions like this.

Because I don't have a clue, how I can explain this in a better way, perhaps some of my thread readers can tell me what is bad in my description quoted below:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alnon:
Hi

my p6800 is now running, thanks!

but i had/have 2 problems:

the first: as i flashed the ics-rom from sammobile with odin from laptop, odin stopped if came the sbl.bin to flash. i opened the complete firmware in total commander and delete the sbl.bin. the tab needs many reboots until is running. before i made your method my tab freeze by every download from playstore or internet, now its not freeze by downloads

the second: my tab freeze one time a day and then it need any reboots. is it possible that i have a wandering brick? when i scan with your programs its always " finished ok"

maybe you have an idea

thanks a lot

Bricked

after i install a custom .pit file, my phone is freezing randomly.

i scan with start_find_brick and phone restarts when reaches ~670 = ~700 and in another try ~900 = ~ 940.

and end_find_brick the phone freeze when reaches 6144 = 6443.

I don't now what should i do..

Flash another .pit?

P.S.: i forgot what pit i flashed,but i have only 5.6 gb memory remaning.

Thank You,

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Scipo:
Only 256 mb internal storage but after flashing several patched pits noe I have 8.5Gb internal storage so only 3Gb short from original
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
the last one is a typical value (3GB less than original)

Were you unable to use the "find brick" scanners mentioned in my thread starter?

This would have told you, where your brick is located.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
did you use the "find brick" scanners and did you choose the pit based on these values?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
if you forgot, try again with a pit based on these values.

Choose 700mb for the beginning.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Scipo:
I didn't read enough the guide but now I've runned the start end brick and starts at 1900-2100 and ends at 3220-3072 something like that

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

And the pit I flashed starts at 172 and ends 3372 so if there is no pit to start from 1900 this is my best choice
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Pajorve:
hg 42

I would like to apologize for having those doubts so crude and simple, I was able to relive my SGN and now he is turning normally but still with many crashes ...

It would be possible to do a PIT for me with the information already posted:

Start Brick: 1168 MIB-1225 MB

End Brick: 7168 MIB - 7517 MB

I would be very grateful to you!

Thank you!

What .pit file should i use? N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914--patched--brick-between-00281-and-06455-MB--FACTORYFS-moved-by-05888-MiB?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alnon:
with th find brick scanners is the same i have wrote before start 1051mib end 5120mib and i made with the pitfile with brick between 281 and 5381mb like you said to me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
yes, that should be the correct one
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
sorry, I think you didn't say which device you have exactly (model, memory size).

From your signature I read you are using a GT-I9100.

So these should fit better:

i9100_16GB_u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4--patched--brick-between-00713-and-03397-MB--DATAFS-moved-by-02560-MiB.pit

i9100_32GB_u1_02_20110718_emmc_EXT4--patched--brick-between-00713-and-03397-MB--DATAFS-moved-by-02560-MiB.pit

because

713 MB < 1900 MB and 3220 MB < 3397 MB

Note, the values in "brick-between-x-and-y-MB" are given in MB (= 1000*1000), but the value "moved-by-z-MiB" is given in MiB (= 1024*1024), the later because of a technical reason.

The values of the scanner is given in both units, so use the one with "MB" for comparing.

I am assuming here, that 1900-2100 is the range you got for the start in different measurements, so I took the lowest one for the start and the highest one for the end to be on the safe side.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Scipo:
I will try that....i flashed only factoryfs pits not datafs pits but i will try your advice and i will keep you posted...thanks for your advice
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
gap should include brick

hmm, in your case I didn't see the "MIB" (which is correctly spelled "MiB", I assume that's why I didn't see the "I" between the "M" and "B" and read it as "MB").

It would have been better to write this as 1168 MiB = 1225 MB

In this case you need a pit with a gap including 1225 MB and 7517 MB, which is

N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914--patched--brick-between-01174-and-07616-MB--DATAFS-moved-by-06144-MiB.pit

for the SGN 16GB model.

Here 1174 MB < 1225 MB and 7517 MB < 7616 MB, where the "inner" values are from your brick and the "outer" values are from the pit's gap.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] angello2299:
hello sir

i tried your method on my soft bricked GS2 and it worked

so thank you for that

Start Brick: 1012-1062

End Brick: 2078-2128

but i still have a little problem

after the repartition with the patched pit file my phone randomly freezes until i pull out the battery and put it back again

so i took a look to the pitxxxxxx.txt and i found that the cache partition (105MB) is smaller than the original one (210MB)

so could you please modify the joined pit file to have 210MB cache partition

thank you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
Hmm, the partition sizes should all be equal to stock pit, excluding the biggest partition which is internal sd or data (I called this the "big" partition).

My patched pits are based on the pit I received from some s2 user.

Is the included stock pit equal to your original pit?

Does it have the same name?

Otherwise, can you give me your stock pit?

I heard, that there are several s2 models all under the same i9100 label. But do they also have different stock pits?

If so, how can I distinguish them? How should I choose names for them?

That's basically why I included part of the original pit name in the name of the patched pits.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Pajorve:
hg42

Champion had been exactly this pit I did flash here on my SGN and really worked ...

that takes place is that it is always crashing at various times and I'm rise to withdraw the battery and restart the unit.

Any tips for these freezes do not come more to occur?

Thank you very much!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] angello2299:
to be honnest that's what i read in a tuto of repartition

here is the link

you'll find the information about the partition table

there where i saw the original size of the cache partition

and when i tried that method i also find that my original cache partition size is 210MB
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hinzman420:
is there a way for you to modify an ops files the same way you modify these pit files. i have a samsung dart that will boot to the samsung logo and then restarts. but if i plug the phone into pc it will not even get to the samsung logo. i flashed a bad recovery with the clockworkmod app from appstore and now stuck. i have download mode and can flash but when it restarts it just keeps flashing like it did before and odin says waiting for device and nothing finishes any help would be awsome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
I don't know anything about ops files.

But anyway, I doubt that you got an emmc brick.

You should use my 'find brick' scanners.

Note, that the repartitioning doesn't help with other kinds of bricks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
but forest1971's thread is for galaxy note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] angello2299:
i know but like i said i found that my cache partition is 210MB before i flash your modified pit file
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
Ok.

I looked into the stock pit for i9100 (16GB) and this has 159MB for cache.

So, do newer i9100 models have different pits?

Or is your i9100 modified?

You really have i9100 model number?

Please provide more information about your model.

Apart from identifying your model, I definitely need your stock pit to generate patched pits for your model.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 3lsheikh:
23mb>>>>>4200mb

hello sir i need it from Start:23mb to end:4200mb (N7000 16GB) thank you and keep the good work :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
please look at this:

name start size start size end
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 GANG 0 + 0 blocks 0 + 0 = 0 MB
2 BOOT 0 + 0 blocks 0 + 0 = 0 MB

unused 0 + 8192 blocks 0 + 4 = 4 MB

3 EFS 8192 + 40960 blocks 4 + 21 = 25 MB
4 SBL1 49152 + 2560 blocks 25 + 1 = 26 MB

unused 51712 + 1536 blocks 26 + 1 = 27 MB

5 SBL2 53248 + 2560 blocks 27 + 1 = 29 MB

unused 55808 + 1536 blocks 29 + 1 = 29 MB

6 PARAM 57344 + 16384 blocks 29 + 8 = 38 MB
7 KERNEL 73728 + 16384 blocks 38 + 8 = 46 MB
...

so you have a brick starting inside the EFS partition (bad). EFS contains important information specific to your specific phone.

So moving this partition would need a backup of your EFS partition.

You would also have to restore the SBL1/SBL2 boot loader partitions. I don't know what they do exactly but I assume they are needed for the boot process. So you would need their contents in odin format (I don't know a source for this).

Based on these problems I only created pits starting at least at the PARAM partition.

Let me know, if you can solve restoring EFS/SBL1/SBL2 partitions, then I can try to generate appropriate pits.

PS: I saw the forest1971's thread and I saw that he speaks about "If you only have download mod, no recovery"... I saw pit file but this pit files only works in N7000 really ??? How can I do for use this pits or any similar pit for my I9100 (S2)???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
I extended the partition range for pits-N7000_16GB---experimental.zip

but beware, this is only for experts! you cannot flash these experimental PITs without thoroughly thinking about how to restore some crucial partitions.

I also added i9100g_16gb pits, because they were missing.

(@angello2299: note, the cache partition has the same size as the i9100, about 150mb, so still no pit with 210mb cache)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
to which post is the "same problem" related? or do you mean the pit method?

note, the patched pits can only help in case of an emmc brick.

do you have an emmc brick?

did you already try my "find brick" scanner? (see my signature for the scanner thread)

what happens when you try to boot into the recovery?

I assume you cannot boot into the rom?

did you try reinstalling a known good rom? (one which worked well before)

you could try flashing another kernel via odin to find out if the recovery works then.

(btw, there are pits for some i9100 variants attached to the first post)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hg42:
(I just wanted to go to bed, but I want to give you something before)

you have to flash the pit via odin anyway.

usually, you would first scan for the brick (find it's start and end).

If you cannot go to recovery you have to go trial and error.

first try a pit (from the zip for your model) with the lowest start number and an end in the middle range and follow the instructions in my first post.

this will work usually, but in your case it might get more complicated.

[please, do these things only when you have a clear mind and not being tired or sad]

ok, good luck...and bye...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jask05:
