[Q] Galaxy Note won't boot or charge

I was out this afternoon and left my phone at home with 37% battery left. I got home 2 hours later my phone was dead. I plugged the phone into the wall charger, no response. Usb into computer, no response. I even tried using other compatible charger, no response. I have tried removing the battery method, no response.
Flashed with AbyssNote

I had the same problem but not with the Note, it was with my S2.
In the end, it couldn't be revived and I had to get rid of it.
Best of luck, let's hope it's just hibernating.

Did you try to get in recovery mode?
Rec mode: 1e vol up + 2e home + 3e power button, keep your fingers on the buttons and wait 10 till 20 sec to get in to recovery and try to reset/wipe your phone.
Also keep your phone in the charger for a few hours

maybe some issue with the battery? did you try swapping the battery?

i think you have a bad device. This has been going on with galaxy s2 phones and even with nexus phones. Some hardware defect. My galaxy note was working fine and one day I woke up and disconnected my galaxy note from power. guess what? the note kept charging even after I disconnected the usb cord. The phone was only a month old and this defect came along. I tried cleaning the usb connector with tooth brush, even attempted to push the inside pins down towards the back. I have had success for about 5 minutes but when i restarted the phone, it came back to charging mode with battery charging animation. The phone actually discharged quickly and once turned off, can't be turned on again. I would have to connect the usb power cord to power up the phone. I have tried different battery, changed to stock rom and resetted the phone several times. No luck at all. I sent in the phone to claro phone company (dominican republic) and after several days of playing with the phone, they have decided to give me a new phone. The only reason I am getting a new phone is because I know the director in the cell division of that company; otherwise, I would be screwed.

Ok.. I think my note is possessed or something. Right after I posted this thread it started working again. Like a minute after. Removed abyssnote and all sort of launchers I have been using. Just a note to all. A backup is always a must. Just saying. Previously I had a few hangs here and there and self reboot. I think the kernel has some problem. Gonna run on stock kernel for awhile. Just turned one month my note
if lives got you down throw in the god mode

nice!
well I'm screwed, just waiting for my spare battery with external charger to arrive so I can start using my Note again. The phone won't recognize the charger.
to add insult to injury, I have no clue where my phone came from, all I kept was just the phone a week after i had it.
looks like now I have a good reason to buy a white one, and i'll save the black one for parts.

[Q] Note Died, What the heck? *Detailed*

Hello, I first wish to say that I did a basic search and didnt find any info. maybe I searched wrong since this is first time this has happend to a phone I know of.
second I don't have time to do a full extensive search, sorry if it looks like I didnt search but I did.
Anyways here to the problem:
What happend? Well the Note just died. from simple usage. the screen is all black, won't boot at all, can't even see any lights. (Got Desire HD, Tho I don't remember this phone had a charging/signal light, but I believe it has)
The Note is my mothers so she wanted me to look at it.
There were no problems during flash or, rather it wasnt me who flashed it. but got it pre-flashed of tradera (part of ebay) and nothing was wrong besides old rom, was waiting for full drivers ICS since I havn't seen one for the N7000 so I havn't flashed a ICS rom since my mother needs the most support but anyway
I tried taking the battery of and putting it back again (Fixes 90% of my problems!), I tried fail-safe booting it. I am kinda stumped on what to do, so if know whats the problem and if its a cheap one I will be happy to do it. hopefully its not a motherboard replacement... :-( then I will cry...
Edit:
It turns out it started working with 25% battery after being having battery taken out for 1 hour, and was in the wall socketed charger for 7 hours. YAY!

So it just died in middle of using it normally?
You didn't do any wipes or such in recovery and then it didn't start after that?

I am not sure there is enough detail here to be able to help. But if it does not go to download mode with the usual ways or with a USB jig, then it will need to go to samsung repair centre, or you could try to JTAG first.
But if it is a result of a bad bootloader flash, then JTAG might work. If its due to a bad ICS kernel flash, then motherboard replacement is most likely.
Hope it works out.

First of All, it doesn't have ICS yet. (since i havnt found a good kies ICS yet that everything works on yet, havnt checked the past few weeks)
Second, it died in standby mode, during work when she was gonna take a picture for her work (she has card that allows usage of camera during work place in volvo)
Third, it wasnt during flash or anything. I will have to check the phone with shidapu when he wakes up... ARGH HIM! for not having normal mornings where you wake up around 6 or 7am...
I believe it didn't die during middle of usage but when the phone was in power save or whatever its called when the screen is black and not phone in use but in operations
I guess JTAG is the only option, but how does that work exactly, if possible please do link
because my computer can't even see the note when I am connected to it with USB. can the battery died? since I don't know if the note can be powered up without battery. *tried connecting without battery but no luck :/

Try to remove the battery for a couple of minutes and then insert it again and connect the wall socket charger and wait up to one hour. The Note has a charging animation but if the battery is totally drained i think it won't show directly.
If you having troubles finding another battery to test with you can always come by Astra in Mölndal and try mine as i see that you are living in Gothenburg.
Jtag is a service in that someone solders small cables to the mainboard and reflashes the bootloader on a low level. But this is only if you know that you have failed a flash or such, don't think this is the case here.
I did send a SGS2 to mobiletechvideos in Texas for that service, and i really do recommend them and thier great service.
Good luck.

if shidapu can't fix it that is (irl mate of Shidapu) he know a bit more than me about Droids
sadly don't have have a extra battery I believe, but I do what you said, I will pull the battery off for now, and when I see the phone next time I will put it in and wait a hour. if all above fail, I might P.M. you that i might be visiting you =)
edit, connected to a wall socket, does it make any differs if I use my HTC wall socket charger?

umm..mind if i say something....?
well u can use any charger since u need to give charge to the battery.. but recommended is charger for note.
Next i had a problem with my battery as well. try to put the phone on charging (there ain't any charging light on this phone ) but you'll see an animation of battery. if it shows up don't worry your phones safe but not the battery but if it doesn't then i think there's some problem with the bootloader or the kernal ...

Hiya guys, after having the Note on charger for like who knows 7 hours or so...
I actually could boot it! YAY! got into the droid as usual.
But there is one wrong thing... it says 25% battery left. orange...
now it says 26% =)
Well I guess I have to reset the state of the battery? (battery-memory wipe or whatever its called?) if thats possible, if so is just simple CWM? (does Note even use CWM?, I am a HTC user and it wasnt me who rooted that device as I mentioned earlier so I dunno what recovery software there is for samsung)
Well Anyways, might be just some faulty battery. guess I have to order a new one if it does it again.

maybe u should take the battery off the phone for a while and try to charge it without booting the device . maybe then it will work fine. just do it three or four times whenever you charge your battery. this way the battery will charge efficiently without it's use on the phone... i hope you got it since i am not able to type well today as i am right now a lil bit anxious about my notes problem

I believe i mentioned it started working. Charging it after removed battery for a hour or so fixed it. took a long time tho, 7 hours for 25% full battery. (26% short after, well samsung are known for their extreme long battery load times... galaxy tab 10.1... that was a device that took over 2 hours to charge...)

It might need a new battery.

The same thing happened to my Note yesterday. It was last charged on Saturday and, with light use, after three days it still had around 50% battery charge remaining when I went to bed on Tuesday night. Yesterday (Wednesday) morning I tried to wake the Note and it was completely dead. Of course I did not expect a flat battery, given the usual discharge performance of my Note. I removed and replaced the battery and hit various buttons and absolutely zip. I connected the charger and again no response. Nothing lit, no beep, nothing.
It's probably worth mentioning that I'm on the latest stock Samsung ROM and unrooted. I really thought it was FUBAR and would need to be sent off for repair. Anyway, I do have a jig so I plugged that in and the screen woke up, so I knew there was some sign of life. But still it would not boot.
Anyway, to cut the story short the battery was as dead as a dodo. I don't know why. It should not have been. I left it on charge from the AC charger and after a short while (a minute or two maybe) the charging symbol appeared with a hazard triangle upon it. It took over 4 hours to finally make it to a fully swollen 100%. The phone is almost exactly six months old and this is the first real scare I've had with it.
I only bore you with the tale because it might give hope to people who think their phone is bricked when the fact is that nothing worse has happened than the battery has gone (unexpectedly) very flat. Right now, 27 hours after I finished fully charging it the battery is down to 92%. That's the sort of performance I am used to. I will leave it without further charge for another few days to see if a similar thing happens again. Hopefully not.

yes i know u said that it started working. What i am saying is that whenever u want ur phone to charge switch it off and then charge(this way it will charge efficiently) . just follow it 3-4 time when u charge it and your battery will be on the right track(i hope that works). my note takes upto 1.3 hour (nearly) to charge completely from 10%. and when it's switched off it does the same in 45 minutes... what a difference!!!
try it and if it works for u then this way would be a best alternative to replace battery for charging issue (of course if ur device is still under warranty you should opt for a replacement).

Galaxy Note - Won't charge properly?

Hey,
My Galaxy Note recently decided to stop charging. Whenever i plug the charger in it shows the "first white charging logo", the one you see before the green battery being filled up - after about half a sec the logo goes away only to return 5 seconds later.
I've tried to blow into the socket, and i've looked into it with a light to make sure nothing seems off, and everything looks perfectly fine. So far i have tried with 2 cables, one third party and the original one, no difference there. Both these cables work well with my Galaxy S2. Therefore i am willing to say for certain the problem is in the actual USB port, which i find weird because I've never mishandled it in any way.
Another thing is the battery gets warm after cycling like this for a few minutes. I tried to take the SGSII-battery and fire the Note up, by holding the battery in place according to the connectors, it fires up perfectly.
Do any of you have any experience with these kinds of issues?
I am currently running Paranoid Android Hybrid-ROM, I guess my only real option here would be to borrow a friends charged battery to flash back into a stock ROM and plead ignorance with the warranty claim. The phone is no older than 4 months. Does anyone know how thorough they are when placing an RMA on a phone?
Thanks, any input greatly appreciated.

Did you try to wipe your battery stat in recovery mode.

No I did not infact, I'll give that a go and see if it helps. The problem is the SGSII battery doesnt fit completely, so i need to hold it by force at the pins, not sure ill pull that off while entering the recovery menu, but i'll try and see!
Edit: Tried it and it did not help unfortunately. At least i can use the SGSII-battery to safely get into menus etc.
Hell, might even be a broken battery?
I interpret the problem as "charging starts but battery refuses.." since the 1st logo keeps flashing. I read elsewhere that it might be a moisture-related problem aswell.
This I do not disregard completely because the phone has been lying near an open window, even though it's summer it cannot be fully ignored.
Either way, in the other thread they suggest putting the phone in rice (which soaks up moisture) for a few days to see if it helps. I even put one of those silica-anti-moisture-bags in there with the rice. Fingers crossed.
If nothing helps I think I'll just borrow a mates charged battery to flash back into stock, get rid of evidence etc - and place it in RMA.

Why don't you try a new Note battery or from another Note. If it fired up with a Gs2 battery perfectly then it must be your battery!

Leave your phone without any battery for about 30 min., this helped me when my phone was refusing to charge somtimes and was giving me discharging while on the charger, after i pulled the battwry for about 30-45 min it is perfectly charging now, btw iam on paranoid also and my phone doesnt charge when it is turned off, have to turn it on frist to charge

easy fix
hey i had a similar problem...was a bit frightened at first....ok connect your phone to your computer, if the computer recognizes then you cables and USB port are just fine.....this means that your phone has some firmware issues....ok here's the simple fix......allow your battery to die completely, then remove the battery from the phone for about 30 minutes......plug in the charger with the battery still out of the phone for 30seconds....now unplug your charger, reinstall your battery into the device and connect your charger again.....this may also work if your device refuses to power on....

Charger works as an USB JIG w/o battery!

Okey, the history started this morning. Like everyday i plug my Note at night and unplug at the morning. When i unpluged, i've noticed it still "charging", i say "not again please" (A couple of months ago it started with this problem, but i fixed it cleaning usb port) so i fixed it by the same way. Curiosly, I've removed the battery and i plugged the charger in w/o battery. Automatically it started Download mode (not Odin mode, FACTORY MODE). So inserted again the battery and unplugged the charger. I've turned on my notebook and started odin, surprise!: Odin has recognized my phone!! I dont know but if some day i brick my phone and i need a JIG to enter in Download Mode, can i use this method for reflash a rom? Sorry my bad english! Hope you guys can understand me!
Greetings from Argentina!

I tried the same thing, connect the charger without the battery and nothing happens, I tried even to press the buttons to go into Dow load mode but nothing. was you charger plugged into the power supply or not? mine was.

I think its not really possible

Never run a phone of the charger,with no battery. You can kid it into not working when you put a battery in. Its rare but happens esp. If you run it for a while without one. As for the other thing . Impossible me think

Tapatalking on my n7000

Bad news guys i've tried in my friend's Note but it doesnt worked... Mine was the USB port "corrupted", ghost charging every time and i cant fix it like other times. Maybe is the reason of the factory mode bug... Tomorrow i will leave my phone at Samsung Service because it has warranty.Good Luck and sorry for this confusion.

Help! My Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 seems bricked.

Hi Guys!
What is the definition of being Brick?
What happened:
It was low batt at 1% so i switch it off and plug in the charger. The moment the battery appeared, i tried to start it. However, i did not observe the subsequent event, and my phone now neither charges (no heat), not detected by computer nor respond even after i put in a working battery from another N7000.
I had been on paranoid android for 3 weeks.
Suspect power low or power died on boot up.
Any solutions?

Try another charger and another cable.

Same thing once happened to me.
Since it worked for me i m posting here.....for many it wud be ridiculous but u never know what to do in such cases.
I cleaned the surface of charging points by a small pin i.e. the port of micro usb where you insert the charger cable. Then i tried charging the battery. Wonder......it worked for me.......

You should try to remove battery and let your phone without any power source for a several minutes.
Then put battery back and try.
Try long press the power button (30 seconds) just in case.
If it don't work, try to plug an USB JIG to see if your note go to download mode.
