Yep. I don't think the drivers are the problem since the phone is recognized. But it does not start to flash. It simply does nothing and the phone stays in download mode forever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nokiamodeln91:
this in itself is a huge statement
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nfribeiro:
This is diferent... not even start to flash...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Final5k:
It seems that remaining on Gingerbread (until official JB) for the moment is the best thing for people who do not have a warranty for their Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phil3759:
Many people confuse superbrick (phone dead right away, no life even if you plug a charger) and other bricks. This is just an unfortunate other brick not related in any way to emmc described one. Good luck at RMA

Also, copying big video to your sdcard is a good way to kill it. Old i9000 thread was popular with that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:
Was running Paranoid Android

Tried to restore the Note back to the latest UK stock ICS ROM via ODIN

Forgot to wipe/davlik before hand

then got stuck in boot loop

more boot loops

Then tried flashing a rooted GB rom in ODIN

stuck now on the Samsung Note boot screen occasionally looping.

Then tried flashing an original non-rooted GB rom in Odin

got stuck on Data.img

Then tried again and it stuck on FACTORYFS wont even get passed this.

Took battery out, then back in...

Now the screen shows three images and the message

firmware upgrade encountered an issue

Now with the Samsung Repair centre in Eastbourne and they are failing to be able to do anything...they still have my NOTE:crying:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phil3759:
Sure, you can theorically miss the binary check in rare circumstances. But this is just "an other brick" without any common relation typical to described emmc brick: no wipe, no flash, and mainly no right away (or even) complete dead phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shoey63:
@ Entropy. Even guy above Phil3759 his bricked his note starting from PA which has a "safe" kernel, and eventually superbricking just useing PC Odin (long time considered safe). No wipes involved. Anyway, is Tungstwenty's detection method flawed for stock ICS kernels? Or is there are problem changing the offending byte from a 1 to a zero
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:
At least this brick has made me decide to leave my note well alone, after flashing roms practically daily for the last month or so, I have become insanely addicted to changing roms...once i get the Note back from the Sammy Service place, I am sticking with stock and wait till the official JB update arrives, which looks fantastic.

As it states on all these roms flashing custom roms at your own risk, thus its my own fault, finger crossed it can be sorted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phil3759:
You can brick any phone, it happens, yes. Superbrick related to emmc bug occurs under special circumstances with typical symptoms.

Binary patching kernels, in theory, if you happen to have duplicate binary code or different, you could miss it. But, as far as i know, and for all manual checks i did, it never happened...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Markuzy:
Since this is not the usual EMMC brick, what is the diagnosis? Just so it can be prevented/avoided in the future

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
I have no clue. And since the phone is now completely dead (even download mode does not work anymore) it's kind of hard to examine it. So I would say we will never now what exactly bricked my phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phil3759:
As i said, it is really non recommended to use your internal sdcard for regular heavy write operations like videos. It will be corrupted at a certain point. On the i9000 this used to be a way for some to get warranty. Phone stuck often after a continuous write/wipe overnight

But this is not the superbrick. And one day, all your phones will brick. That's flash storage
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shoey63:
I have read about this before. First can't flash with PC Odin. Then recovery mode goes, then download mode and finally dead phone. Friggin' Samsung:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phil3759:
If you read across HTC and other forums, you'll see so much bricks and unhappy people. Why blame Samsung, there will be always faulty devices and unhappy unfortunate people
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shoey63:
Yeah, you're right. Even PC Nand causes grief. Just hoped a Company on the cutting edge of technology like Samsung would have been able to resolve such problems.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:
UPDATE on my Note, the local Samsung service centre are having to send it away to Samsung, so I guess its official bricked.

Coming from PA rom, through Odin trying to flash an ICS official ROM, then trying in Odin to flash Rooted GB, the trying an Official GB rom...

be careful there are no safe Kernels or 100% safe ways to flash, I have flashed many roms on many devices and never encounted this before, but then again Its guess its just a matter of time before this is going to happen.

Now my punishment is 7-10 days without my NOTE:crying:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phil3759:
If you are scared, stop using phone. This turning into paranoia...

I just said that if you write/delete gigs of data from your internal sd daily, it will be corrupted faster. Same for external sd and all these nand memory. Only thing, external sd you can change it, but not internal storage. Now, i never said op bricked because of copying data. He probably bricked of no lunck and faulty phone. In anycase, it is not superbrick related to emmc

Any phone from any brand can brick, and they will all brick one day. The more you use it as a mass storage, the faster it will die

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shoey63:
Nand is not forever. With constant hammering, individual cells will lose their electrical charge and eventually "die". That's why there are "wear levelers", so the load can be spread around. Best to use external Sd card as much as possible. It's cheaper to replace than

Correct

My story,

Phone was on LRQ and I want to delete a folder on external sd (Silicon Power 16Gb 10 class) with approximately 3~4 Gb of backuped multiple files via Root explorer.

Deleting takes around 3 or 5 minutes and after that system told me that can not find specified folder. I hit back and saw that my external sd card and internal sd card empty, looks like I formatted both memories. But all programs was still presented in menu and programs that do not required additional cash worked.

I formatted internal memory and flashed rom. Phone is working without problems.

I've had same problem. Was convinced it was bricked as I could not use backups. I found I had to use the sameversion of cwm id made them with. Cwm touch I've read can be dodgy. I've got it on a new rom. Had a loop and could not use it . Kept trying recovery and eventually the original cwm came up ,which only let me copy backups id made with it. Still it got me working . Took 4 flashes to get back to jb.

My recovery is pure cwm6 based. All functions are unchanged from stock, just extra code for extra features
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
Exactly my thoughts ,a built from scratch kernel is always a safer bet ,I always use CM9 kernel (more than 50 wipes probably) and I've had no problems so far.

Naaaah ,that's just missing out on way too many useful features ,you just have to be careful and smart and all is well.

besides ,maybe The OP just had some bad luck with a damaged EMMC chip ,since it is well known that moving large files should not trigger the issue,but cause a strain on any sdcard which may kill an already week EMMC .

in any case I hope he gets it fixed ASAP. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
On Saturday 27th I handed the device over to the store where I bought the phone. Since it is completely dead by now I don't think they have any other alternative than to replace the mainboard. The told me it would take approximately 2 weeks until I get my device back. I just hope it won't take them any longer. My conclusions I have drawn is that I won't use the internal storage anymore. I am going to buy a 64 GB storage card and use solely that card to store files. I certainly won't risk another brick. That brick has shattered my faith in the Notes internal storage. And I want to add that this is unacceptable for me. A device that is, among other purposes, built for multimedia usage has to be able to reliably handle big audio and video files. And the files I transfered where not even big ones, around 50 MB or so each file. In the past I wiped my phone multiple times (always on safe kernels like Goku, Notecore/ Hydracore, PhilZ) without any problems at all. That's why it was a big f...... surprise to me when the phone died on me only because of a simple file transfer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shoey63:
Im glad you let Note users know. I'm going to get a big ext Sd card too. Safe kernels may guarantee safe wipes but who can guarantee safe file transfer?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phil3759:
I have 2 i9100 and had 2 i9000 too. On the 4 phones, one showed internal sd corruption signs. It was the newer 8 months old i9000. I stress my 2 i9100 internal storage a lot, really very much, and they still work perfectly above 18 months now

Like with anything, it is a matter of luck. There will be always some defective devices and unhappy users. Sparing the internal sd card is very good idea, but drawing a general issue of that single case is not right. But yes, internal storage is something sensitive as you cannot replace it. Rather use it for apps you will keep a while and not for video/photo shots and heavy p2p download...

And always do backup your sdcards regularly to PC storage, that's vital in my opinion if you have sensitive data
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] syncopath:
Hi Altae,

Thanks for this thread, which I have been following with interest. I am still where I was, rooted on GB 2.3.6 and everything working OK. However I was eyeing LRQ with increasing interest given its reported improved options and good performance, and particularly with a view to installing call recording and transparent weather, reported if I recall correctly by none other than Dr.Ketan, and who could give better advice? However when I first read your thread I put that plan on hold.

I am of course sorry to hear of your getting bricked, I can imagine how bad that must be. But at least your experience has acted as a warning, perhaps to other "Gingerbread cowards" like me as well. I also follow your idea of taking all data file storage off the internal SD. I think I'm going to start doing that too and get a 64 GB external SD in preparation for the day when I finally do try to upgrade and keep root, which I just couldn't do without.

I hope you soon get your Note back from Sammy, fully functional again, and will be interested to hear where you go from there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nigi73:
I remember from my htc hd2 days that consensus was that internal memory from Samsung was inferior to Hynix chips. Most bad blocks happened for people with Samsung inside. Owners of Hynix based devices was considered lucky. I have hynix hd2 and no bad blocks with hundreds of wipes so it may be true that Samsung has low reliability of memory chips.

If the internal SD card is vulnerable with heavy duty usage, what about devices which dont have external sdcard...like N7. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phil3759:
I would never buy them. External SD for me is a major choice criteria

A 64GB SD card is good, but I prefer 32GB: they oblige me to do regular backups. If you loose 64GB of sensitive data, you'll feel very bad

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:
I'm with you there altea. I'm running an iPhone 4s while my note is being repaired by Samsung. Probably sell the note when it gets back. Lost my trust and confidence with it completely. Love it but if flashing from safe kernels and pc Odin brick it. It's just not for me.

Must admit the apps and games on iOS are truly fantastic. Didn't realise how much time I wasted flashing androids But I will soon be bored and probably get a note 2 once their prices drop to normality.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
Well its nit completely true that using ur internal storage will give you bad sectors. Its basically the file manager app u are using. Most file managers cant handle deketing big files and it take u forever to delete them. Most people just minimizes the app and the process stops. This cause improper deleting of the file. Sometime it forma the bad sector and sometimes it doesnt. So dont just say that u wont be uaing the internal. External sd does lag when ur downloading files via torrent on it and at the same time watching a movie or playing a game from external. So its not always a right approach

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imperiale:
I've tried so many stock ROMs, custom ROMs and full wipes, and I haven't gotten anywhere. My phone's battery drains around 6-10% an hour (and that's a conservative estimate) while on battery with Wi-Fi on. For comparison my Wi-Fi on my GALAXY Note 10.1 has been connected for 12 hours straight and the battery has gone down by around 2%. Thus I am convinced I do not have a network problem. I also do not believe it is a rogue app: I have of course checked BBS for wakelocks and while I do see a fair amount of wlan_rx type wakelocks there is no app behaving out of the ordinary. I have also tried turning off sync, but to no avail.

TL;DR Thus my question to you is, which ROM (if any) can prevent this Wi-Fi drain from occurring?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lctwisk:
I think wifi drain is often more related to your kernel. Maybe you should try Siyah kernel. Or if you're running a stock rom, Speedmod kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
Agreed. Wifi is controlled by the kernel, every rom and kernel I've used drain the battery when connected to wifi. It's just a power hungry system. Try to reduce screen brightness whilst browsing.
