As above, sending my phone back after bricking it, but I have a problem I have pics and videos of me and the Mrs doing things on holiday and I'm worried they are going to be seen uploaded to the net...the the Mrs is worried.

What's the chances I'd my files being on there after a wipe through cwm?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nipuna:
Did you format your internal SD? That should fix any potential issue. Even though the phone is bricked you should be able to format using CWM. or else you can connect via ADB and reformat....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
Yes, I think that's how I busted it to start with. There is no recovery option there any more..cwm has gone too. The only thing I can do it get it in to download mode. I tried using odin to partition the internal memory and then put stock OS on there but it gets stuck and won't put the Rom on it.

I took it back to the shop and he said they are going to send me a bag, and once they get my phone they will send me out a new one, but me and the Mrs is a little worried that they will get his of our media
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
Will abd let me view the file system with the phone in download mode, or with the phone being off...?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] praetorius:
I dont think they will extract whatever is inside. They will simply replace the board and throw the damaged one in the bin.

Be careful nct time though.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nipuna:
Hi,

Well I am sure you'd be able to flash a kernal, something like speedmod k3-3, or thor kernal. Then you should be able to get to the recovery mode.

If this fails, then you need to connect to ADB-- and it should work both in the download, and recovery modes. Then by using "parted" you can delete / create partitions. I suggest you format the SD partition (UMS).

try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1667886 it has some of the parted commands you'd need..

BTW. do you have a yellow triangle ATM?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azzledazzle:
I need more information before I can help you, I will require a copy of each and every Picture & Video that you dont want samsung to see, Then i will fully examine it several times and we will take it from there :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
i have a yellow triangle but it doesnt look like the one listed as the counter for rom flashing. it says something about failed os install and to connect to kies for recovery...something along those lines, i dont have to phone handy right now.

i dont really want to flash a kernal just incase it voids the warranty and i cant fix it or send it back.

so if i format using adb everything should be wiped clean off it?

my girlfiend is pretty p!ssed with me atm whoops :crying:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] forest1971:
Hi: Just would like to clarify one thing: adb works in recovery mode (CWM) but not in download mode. cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
oh crap, i dont have CWM on my phone anymore, there is no options what so ever when i turn on my device

this is the message it gives me when i try and boot into safe mode

Flash speed mod via Odin to get cwm back and try again.

Samsung has no right to even browse through your photos. Of course it happens, but it's illegal for them and if you'll find any of those pictures uploaded somewhere by them, you've got grounds to sue ( especially if they're private )

Anyway, have you tried recovery mode in Kies ? It's not the best tool, but it helps sometimes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
what is speed mod?

yeah, i will give kies another shot, i was messing about last night but it was late and had to be up at 5am for work so gave up
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Flash speedmod 3-3 with PC Odin.

If it's successful , boot into recovery and format sd card. (I am not sure but in speedmod recovery internal sd card is external and the other way around.)

To remove yellow triangle and flash counter , flash the Godsend Angelom kernel and wipe data/factory reset ....kaboom....! Your phone will be stone cold dead and no one can see/recover data on sd card.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
would i use speed mod through PDA?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
have any of you ever been through this? did you still have your media when you flashed a new kernal/rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] theUsualSuspexx:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nipuna:
Did you delete partitions? You can flash firmware/kernal via odin. You may need to use a pit file. Or else create partitions using adb shell :)

Or if ur cirtain if u formatted ur sd, u can also send to sammy as is?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dungeon47:
It's a longshot, but try running Odin from the softbrick screen (the one with the Phone, exclamation sign and the PC). I had a guy brick a galaxy tab at work and Heimdall wouldn't finish the flash in Download Mode, but it worked at the softbrick screen. Best of luck.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
i have tried to flash firmware through odin but it gets stuck on "factoryfs.img"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
I wouldn't worry at all. As another poster said the emmc chip is embedded on the mobo. They'll try to power it on and when they see it hasn't got recovery option they'll just replace the mobo and throw out the old.

Seems a waste of some damn good pictures though? I'd do some midnight recon and infiltrate their depot to get back the emmc chip. Its photos like those you want the grand kids to see :eek:

Sent from my Paranoid Android GT-N7000. It doesn't get much better than this!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
so they will throw away the emmc chip without trying to fix it first? and the emmc chip is where the photos will be held, is there not two hdd on the phone then...internal sd, and a seperate one for the os...or is that where the problem lies...eg there is only one partitioned drive and when you put cwm on it it unlocks the partitions so when it is wiped it wipes the lot

yeah maaan they were cracking vids and photos of us in our holiday caravan :laugh:

how does this person know they just throw the emmc chip away?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azzledazzle:
When the caravans rocking.......Dont come knocking :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Why dont you try the methods to partition around the damaged area as noted in some of the previous posts?

After that, write zeros to whatever is left of your internal SD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
with the pit file? i did that, then tried to flash the rom, but it just fails and hangs on factoryfs.img, i left it loading all night while i slept, but the loading bar didnt move one bit
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prasad.adam:
Lessons learnt:

Do not store your romantic sojourn on phone ;). If you must, move these to safe place ASAP. Change camera settings to make external SD card as default store location.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Even if you've moved them, the files are still on the the emmc until you write over that part of the chip.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
so my files will still be on it?

i did format the internal sd in cwm, thats what caused the problem (not starting the phone)..would'nt the format have erased all the memory on it? or would they still be on there even though i formatted it?

i need to talk to someone who have managed to fix there phone after being in this situation really :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
I'm not sure if stock ICS roms are actually doing secure formatting (and not a simple quick format) yet or not given the whole fiasco with the emmc bug. If you were on GB rom, the format was not really doing a secure format.

But honestly, how much were you guys "doing" in your memoirs of a geisha that is getting you so worried? It can't be a whole movie right?

My suggestion for getting you to try and get it fixed by using using a custom .pit file is to be able to get your phone booted again, and as such be able to write zeroes or something to REALLY be sure that the files are gone.

If you are really paranoid about the whole thing....you can try to request that they return the old motherboard to you to keep as a souvenir for your "nephew" who is about to turn 13 and is very "interested" in electronics.

I don't know if they'll do that. Lol. I've done that for other things in the past, such as TV component warranties where they allowed me to keep the "spares" cause they would have junked the part anyway.

P.S. Next time, buy a cheap $200 video camera for your adventurous recording of artistic aerobic exercises.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
Okay I am thinking of fixing it myself now and flashing a kernal and Rom on to get the recovery mode back, just a quick question though, if the install of either of these fail will the biniry count still be at 0? I don't want to try just to fail and then not beable to send it back....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mrcarlxx:
even if the phone only dont a quick format, surely the files would be away from view, and would only get them back with a recovery software?

the phone is being sent back today so i guess i just have to sit and hope that nothing pops up :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Precisely, I really wouldnt worry mate, they won't be able to see the files.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yavhadjiev:
Now I have a big problem. My Note is bricked, stops when flashing with pc odin in the begining and stack there. I can flash kernels I may go to cwm recovery and download mode, allso i have 2 cwm backups on stock GB and custom ICS, and i have waranty. But whats my bothered mostly, is there any tool to copy internal storage to PC in this situation. I've maked a pictures and videos that is important to me, and the docs too. In CWM I mount internal sd but that it was external sd. What I must to do to get this files. In recovery I can see every folder but just that. Another question is if I doing that unbricked mode with PIT files, will I be eable to restore phone with CWM restore in external sd and will that restored my files in internal sd.

Thanks in advance. Yavor

i have galaxy note 2.3.6 with n7000jpla1 kernel, i already try all the ways to root my device but none is working.

and with simple answer can someone explain to me how can i choose the kernel and what the isc ,gb is mean.

thanks you
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majdinj:
GB means Gingerbread

ICS means Ice Cream Sandwich

and these two are the operating system, and ICS is the latest for android system..

and the fact you are on 2.3.6 means that you are on GB system (the old one).. so the question is are you satisfy with your system or you want to upgrade it to ICS :confused:, because for each system there is a different way to get root..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samer.olleik:
first thanks for the information's.second, i satisfy with gb but off course any one like to update but i want try rooting my phone before i upgrade to see what different happened if i rooted,(its better or not)but the problem that i try to root my phone and I'm not successful .and also my question is if i rooted can i upgraded to ics or not or there is another way to rooted after i upgrade to ics .

thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endingcolt007:
hey mate, rooting does not change anything big. all it does is gives you more control of what you can do with the phone. It basically makes you an administrator. When you root your phone you will get a new app installed called "Super User" which controls root access to other apps. By rooting the device you will get to do things like overclocking and run apps that require root access other than you will not see a difference in everyday use.

And about upgranding to ICS, i recommend that you stay on Gingerbread as of now because ICS has some major bugs. One bug is the eMMC bug which comes with all ICS kernels. Just get you phone checked to see if you have the bug before upgrading. To check just download the app "Got Brick?" by Chainfire.(http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1115293&d=1339163352). After you run the app it will tell if your phone has the problem or not. If it says that you have the problem then i recommend you stay on Gingerbread until samsung releases a fix.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samer.olleik:
Hi,i installed the "got brickbug" and he tell me (DANGER ! This eMMC chip is *KNOWN* to have the brick bug!....ok ,but i upgraded to ics from about 3days ago and i re-installed the gb. and nothing happened and everything work fine but my phone was freezing some time before and after i upgrade to ics so i decide to flash my phone to gb because i want to rooted just to control the apps that can't moved to sdcard and stuck on phone memory.

please what is your opinion and what this bug do "eMMC....", and there's any way else to move the apps to sdcard.(please don't tell me to use "mov2sd" because its do nothing)

thanks you very mush,

you better read all the warnings on the "sticky" posts in the forum, you got all your question covered.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endingcolt007:
If u want to know abt the bug: eMMC is a bug on the galaxy note, s2 and some other devices that will brick your phone if you do a factory reset or wipe or flash unsafe rom/kernel. To protect your phone stay on Gingerbread because GB does not have this bug. Other than that I did not understand what u meant! Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S II General] VanillaCracker:
Yeah just saying I've never had a force close on a single game, and I've probably played over 30 games (all from play store). Had a game freeze my phone once but that's cus I was testing it out on all max graphics. Only downloaded one game Apk which needed to be patched and everything and was like a 10 hour wait for the patch to dl (had a pong game for the meantime.....lol) and even that worked flawlessly without FC. It's probably either your rom, or what the person said above, it's the Apk's youre downloading. I've never had a problem with bad Apk's (keyboards and such), but that could very well be the issue.

I'm on I-777 though. Forgot to mention that. Should be same deal though

Play best games from top developers like N.O.V.A 3, Modern Combat 3..etc...they never force close..

And be happy that you own a S2 because the best high quality upcoming games in future will surely support S2 because S3 has the same Mali-400 GPU. If S2 dont support it, then S3 too wont ! ;)
