[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sNiXx1:
Although I have (hopefully) read through most posts somehow related to my problem, I can't seem to find the best way forward. As I am not entirely sure that my problem is the brick bug, I created my own thread. As I cannot use recovery and have no idea what was running on the i9100 beforehand, I would very much appreciate your help.

After having retrieved the pit via heimdall, it seems to be the same as the one posted by Stefan2142, although his is from an N7000:

Ending session...
Releasing device interface...

I researched the backup of the EFS partition, but as I can only get into download mode, I have no idea how to deal with this. Also, it is unclear to me which pit-file I should try first, as moving any partition may potentially overwrite the information on the EFS, or did I misunderstand it? Is there any way to restore my EFS information after flashing a pit file and flashing a recovery?

Just a few moments ago, instead of getting stuck at "NAND Write Start!!", Odin stopped at "cache.img" when flashing firmware from sammobile. Could this be an indication that this partition is corrupted?
