Have you tried a different battery? It sounds like a bad battery. My wife's Skyrocket was doing this until I charged her battery outside of the phone. I wouldn't open the phone until you try charging the battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sharpeyedman:
Simple solution is to tap or beat on the power button with an eraser many times.

This problem is common on t989 and it is caused by sticky power button.

Tapping the power button with Eraser or rubber multiple times should do it.

Thanks,, It works..It wouldn't boot on just kept vibrating. I press the power button many times..and it boot it fine...:good:

Power button must be going bad on mine:silly:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
so my brother brought me his semi bricked n7000 "btw i searched and googled"

well, yesterday my brother brought me his cellphone which doesn't boot anymore, he wanned to install a custom rom since he saw that i have a fast one (galaxy s I)

so when i asked him what he did , he said he followed all the steps in rootgalaxynoteDOTcom/galaxy-note-roms/kingdroid-ics-rom-v3-0-for-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-best-ics-romtouchwiz-ux/[/url]

but then, his phone didn't boot, so he wiped - reset factory setting, which i read is a BIG NO when you're flashing ICS.

so whats done is done, i am trying to get it back , i can boot in recovery mode/download mode ... i tried out many kernels like AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo or speedmod, and downloaded at least 4 or 5 GB stock roms.

sadly , if odin flash is successful, it stuck on (samsung galaxy note gt-n7000) black srcreen, reboots few times then stays still...

if the odin flash wasn't successful , it keeps stuck on data.img and never goes beyond that .

i did all the steps i could find, wiped data after installed stock GB rom and rebooted, nothing worked

i even used rogue_ET-recoveryonly , and i think it went along format all the way, but still nothing happened after that.

the only thing i haven't tried yet was the repartition + pit file, i couldn't find the PIT , most of the roms have pda/modem/csc ... so if anyone can help out, i would really appreciate it ..

thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
:) thanks, no it doesn't get stuck at factoryfs at all , i did check out most of the threads here, and most of them say "go back to GB with odin and if its stuck on samsung gt-n7000 boot screen just go back with recovery mode and then wipe data / cache " but never worked, so i thought i should ask around here

i'll check out the threads you posted and see what i can come up with
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
weird, i used the 16gb pit - repartition (check)

and i flashed it with SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS through odin.

and its still the same, the flashing with odin was successful and everything went fine, no hanging , no delays or what so ever. after it restarts its stuck on the black samsung galaxy note gt-n7000 screen

im gonna wipe data / cache again but i doubt that would fix anything.

so any idea what could be wrong? specially when the flashing process went fine?

i've already tried like 4 stock roms ,

arabic uae , europe , saudia and the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS

i wonder if i need to put something in boot space in odin "just a thought"

ive tried downloading roms from here [STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1place,Latest ICS LQ3

and here [STOCK ODEX PRE ROOTED ROMs] for Odin PC no counter & triangle

any ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fslateef:
For OP:

If you are not stucking while flashing from PC Odin then you are not superbricked.

I think you got corrupted /system or other partition; I saw another thread where OP was getting this sort of hang due to filesystem corruption which can't mount.

Entropy512 gave simple dd command based solution for erasing initial 1MB of partition.

Try searching for corrupted filesystem/partition related information. I can't recall exact thread title, sorry.

I hope this will help.

thanks for the reply , even think i flashed the abyss and the 4pda_kernel i still can't get anything when i do adb devices >.>

so im trying to figure out whats wrong
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
Should try to install/reinstall samsung usb driver package. or try reinstall Kies also provide drivers for Note.

If driver is install properly: when connect with PC using usb cable it need to be shown under hardware management as something like "android composite adb interface" or something like that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fslateef:
Also are you trying to connect adb after booting the phone ? Means in a stuck state ? I think you can try enabling ADB thing from CWM rather than trying to boot phone fully.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
hmm i can't find an option in CWM that suggests that , still searching :)

also im trying to find roms that i can install from CWM , are there any GB roms that can be directly installed from CWM ?

thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
Hi: I understand he means boot the phone into CWM and then connect to PC in that environment. adb need to be run from PC while the phone is booted into CWM recovery.

Still, most of the custom roms are in the .zip format and can be install using CWM. they just now become a bit more difficult to find since dev move on to ICS/CM9 roms. Still try to find some GB roms in the forum such as: rocket GB, litening GB, xtralite GB....

This is the link for Rocket rom GB. Better try v22 than v23.

done that already.. everyone is saying is "get into recovery mode" >.>
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
Yes, recovery mode is in CWM. (in case you have not done it: Enter recovery by,from phone power off: pressing volumeup + home + power and release power when see samsung letter while still hole the other two buttons.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
thanks for the reply, i've done it many times, when im in the CWM screen, the adb devices still doesn't show anything >.> maybe im using a wrong kernel? what kernel you guys suggest?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
hmm. that should be still the problem with usb driver. Have you checked under hardware management if it show the device as "samsung composite adb interface" yet?

kernel should not be the problem with connecting adb. It is the problem with usb driver for Note. Sometime Win7 have problem with driver. You may want to search for another package of samsung usb driver on the web.

I did put some links of GB roms in the post in the previous page. maybe try them first if any luck.

Also try to restart computer to see if the driver issues get solved.

Got to go. Hope that you can solve the problem. GL.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
thanks, i restarted my pc , reinstalled kies, and now it shows under device manager

now i connect to the phone through adb , i appreciate you pointing it out :)

which method you think i should go for 1st? this one

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12

or unzipping a rom and then pushing it all through adb?

i think i'll go for removing and repartitioning manually, hopefully it'll work

thanks again guys , i'll post the updates here,

lol, my brother called me and he's like "if u can't fix it by the end of the night, fk it, dont bother yourself with it" but to be honest, im too stubborn, i hope i can fix it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
looks like deleting and adding partitions back through parted kinda work, for the first time i was able to pass the boot screen after i installed rocketrom from CWM

however, its been 1/2 hour since im stuck on rocketrom loading screen it keeps looping and looping.. i wonder if i should wait more.. or should i try another rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
finally got rid of the verification -.- was kinda annoying thats why i didn't bother editing posts,

anyways, rocketrom didn't work, so i decided to flash a stock rom instead , the flash through odin went fine, it was great to be able to wipe data without getting stuck , however, it keeps going though samsung animation over and over, i think im gonna leave it like this one the charger till morning, i wonder if it'll be the same

guess i have to google for "samsung loop" , i wonder why this keeps happening though -.-
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
-.- leaving it for 6 hours on samsung logo animation didn't do the trick , still looping when i woke up, so i guess i'll do some more search on why this is happening.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
You have checked partitions and see no error that means the problem lies somewhere else, not partitions. I have no idea yet, but for me I would try some different roms. Small roms have more chance to work, that is the feedback I got from some people:

- try check rom in the link I sent

- try paranoid android which is CM9, or asylum

- extralite

cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
thanks buddy, i appreciate your help, the partition "USED" to give me error when i did the check 9 10 11 , but after removing the partition and reformatting them (and i also removed the cache partition) now its working fine "i suppose" i didn't do another check, but i might will now that you mention it.

i already tried rocket rom, didn't work, stock rom didn't work, so i'll give the others a try :) at least it doesn't get stuck on the boot screen, but its stuck on the animation logo which is an improvement :)

thanks again :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
It's nice to see some smilies, and minor progress :). It is good to check partition again because scanning it does not cause harm. Then once partition issues is cleared it is the issue with roms. In few dozen of cases that gave feedback in our thread it is either partitions issue or rom issues (install in a wrong way, some rom works and some do not, need some trial with different roms).

After fixing these two issues we see all reported success, although some cases still have problem such as too large damage of emmc and remaining space for sdcard is small, one or two have problem of random freeze but they seem to be gone after finding a rom that works or re-partition again. That is all medicine that I have so far :).

cheers,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
hahaha, i would be really upset if it was my phone :P thats why im putting lots of smilies, its not mine so im good >.> , sorry im such an ass, but i think im nice enough to help him out.

im experimenting at work , if i flash it with a stock rom that has 3 files "pda,modem,csc" it stuck at data.img , already tried 3 roms including darky rom rev

when i go home im gonna flash a rooted stock rom then flash it with CWM .. hope it works, im gonna double check the partition as well..

i'll just posts updates :)

try flashing a GB wipe rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
thanks, i did that already, didn't work.

as forest1971 suggested, i kept checking mmcblk0p9 and 10 for errors, sadly i still do get errors, but not as much as the 1st time. i think i spent at least 1/2 hour e2fsck -c /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 , had to add -y cuz it was taking too long , all the partition was fcked up.

gonna try paranoid rom and xtralite , i wonder if i should rename them to rom.zip

anyways :) i'll keep you posted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
Hi:

If it is .tar rom then it is to be flashed using odin.

If it is .zip rom then is meant to be flashed using CWM. They cannot be changed.

btw, if using e2fsck take long time or freeze it would mean there is faulty block.

There is actually a better way to scan for error of partition using the command below under adb shell: for partition 10 for example:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/dev/null

you can do it for partition 7,9, 11 to see if there is fault somewhere. it will take some time though.

cheers,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
heheh, yeah i knew about the .zip and .tar i meant if i would rename the extralite rom to rom.zip which i did even though i thought it would never make a difference , however, it worked. i got through the animation :D wooooot!!! thank you guys for trying to help out.

the reason why i used the e2fsck was to automatically fix errors , it did take a long time but it didn't freeze

i wonder if i should go to ICS again and do it for him the "RIGHT" way

forest1971 thank you so much for making that guide , without it , i wouldn't be able to make it :D , my brother bricked it once :P so i guess its my time to mess with it lol

which ICS you'd recommend? guess i'll do some reading , although i wonder if i should leave it on GB , i did give him a call and said i'd charge him for fixing it :P "joking of course" but he seemed happy.

again thank you for making the guide and everyone else who tried to help :D

Wow, I always love to share the moments of success :) :D. thanks

If it is ICS I heard good comments about paranoid Android. But make sure to read well the instructions and some comments in the thread, to make sure you are using a safe kernel and install in the right way.

For me I still prefer GB, though.

cheers!

im doing a step he never did before "BACK THE **** UP~!!" i learned that the hard way when i was using linux before getting married 9 years ago -.-

so im backing up things now, just incase , im gonna go with the KINGDROID since it doesn't change it to a tablet and ruin the pen , i know he'll nag about it ..

but if he doesn't like it and want to go back to GB i'll do it for him, which GB rom do you use?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
I used stock but remove some items and use FM kernel. It run just very fine so I am choosing to be conservative with roms. I guess will change to ICS once the brick bug is clear-up I guess.

Thanks for the thanks, I sometime run out of thanks too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johar123:
yeah i know what you mean, i still use darky rom on my GS I , im not into changing to the newest as long as the rom works perfectly fine and kinda fast compared to the stock roms...

well, i have successfully installed kingdroid rom for him, its working fine for now.

i'll just have to see if he'll complain about it, if not , i'll leave it as it is

i hope you have a wonderful day forest, i really appreciate your help :D

I plugged my phone into my computer today, and noticed that my USB debugging didn't come up on my phone. I'm not sure what happened, I can't figure it out.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redstar427:

What is it that you are trying to do? If all you want is to see the phone from windows and transfer files, you want debugging off. USB debugging is for using adb commands, or tools that use them, like for rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hubik.j:
If you are sure that it is not software problem with your PC (it worked some time ago, you didn't change anything, etc.), than try to clean USB port with soft tooth brush. The USB can have some problems due to oxidation.

This has probably been asked before, but I can't find it.

I am not new to rooting and CFW, I run them both on my GT540, but I am new to Samsung and flash counters.

If I choose to root my phone, but not install CWM just yet, if I need a warrenty claim would I have to reset my flash counter after I unroot? Just for a lil advice, I want to root.

Also can someone link me to the best method for a fast root, rather than root and CWM, I can install the latter later when I decide to use a custom rom.
