Hi, I have a GSM Samsung Galaxy S here that is running CyanogenMod.
The phone is rebooting at random and getting stuck at the skateboarding CyanDroid during boot.
It still runs sometimes and I can flash other roms through clockwork or ROMManager.
How can I restore it to a factory ROM and firmware?
When I try to use *#1234# to find what firmware it has it, it says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code." does that code only work with stock firmware?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
ANKh
I would use Odin to reflash to a standard Samsung ROM and start again. Maybe first make a backup of all your data, because that will be lost (internal).

download the stock firmware from samfirmware.com .. then flash it using odin ..
Go back to stock (can download stock firmware's from sammobile.com) and then flash another rom it could be a problem from the rom itself
Remember to use .PIT file! and check that repartition is ticked.
Shame Heimdell can't also make an image ready for backup later too,
I'd prefer to do that than downloading from some server I've no clue where it's coming from and might do a megaupload at any point

What if I have the I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC.zip containing only the I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar file?
Is there any need to tick the repartition option?
i think this is a PDA file and it would be ill advised to tick the repartition option.
But I just need to confirm before restoring from JB CM10
Tried everything I could with Odin and phone still stuck in a start loop.
I was downgrading from checkROM to official firmware ZSLA2 with CWM (I wanted to keep ROOT, so I selected "Keep CF-Root kernel") due to stability issues, after restarting the phone got into the start loop.
I flashed with Odin official ZSLA2 with the same result (looped start). I flashed XXKKA (again looped start). During the flashing process, Odin says the flashing was successful. By the way, both ROMS are tar.md5 files.
I tried to remove the battery for over 30 minutes and charge it for 2 hours, tried re-partition in Odin (it's my understanding that with a stock rom, it creates a clean installation), but Odin fails to start the process.
What else can I do?
I am sorry if this has previously asked, but I've been searching for over 2 hours and nothing similar came. Somebody mentioned to use a PIT file in addition, but the other person who got his phone soft bricked didn't solve the problem either. As downloading a ROM is time consuming and I've got many problems with upload sites in china (cannot access to most of them), I would thank any help in regards this issue.
Sounds like your kernel isn't talking properly to your ROM.
A fresh start is your best bet. Flash a stock rom and kernel from Odin and reroot it with CF-Root.
What files are you putting into Odin? There should be a total of 4.
I'd also avoid the use of a .pit file. I haven't even seen the mention of one in all my time on the Note forum. I really don't think Samsung uses them the way they used to. (I used to have to flash one all the time when testing roms on the original galaxy tab.)
I am using official ROM N7000ZSLA2_N7000ZSLA2_N7000XLA4_HOME.tar.md5 into PDA and also tried ROM N7000XXKKA_N7000XEUKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5, which I used successfully in the past to make root into my phone.
Does it really make a difference to flash 4 separate files instead of a full pack? Where can I find an official ROM with pda radio and kernel separated? Just untar the ROM?

Oh, they do come into the Note; I flashed the Beta ICS, and one of the things they mention is to use the PIT file for the 16GB version, instead of the 32GB that comes with the leaked ROM. Unfortunately I deleted that ROM, and donwloading it is painfully slow and also wouldn't necessarily solve my problem as I couldn't even make a phone call.
True - the .pit file can change the size of the partition data... But that's not your problem. If the .pit file was the problem - you'd boot, but have 0 storage space (or something else wonky pertaining to your disk size.)
Open the tar up and make sure it has all the files in it. Should be 5.
I've attached a screenshot of the 5 file names. Make sure they are all in the .tar you are flashing.
Even i had similar problem after flashing Stock ROM using Odin (PC). Only thing i did is just rebooted in recovery and Wipe/factory Reset and Wipe cache. everything went fine.

Well, I finally managed to get my phone back. I was getting a lot of corrupted ROMS. I couldn't download your ROM as well; I managed to install the Beta ICS 4.0.3 which comes with a PIT for repartition, as I think the problem was that my booting partition was screwed.
Problem now is: that rom screws the phone and the keyboard, but at least I have my phone back.
Thank you

I have just recently dowloaded and installed the rom without problem. What do you mean by corrupted rom?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I too bricked my phone but after reading this guide (ABD wouldn't recognise my device so I couldn't follow it) I understood the partitions had become messed up.
I read somewhere about the PIT files.
I ODINed the ABYSS Kernal and PIT (Q1_20110914_16GB-patched) for my 16gb n7000 ticked the repartition box. It booted into CWM recovery and I used the restore and bingo.
Fix The problem
I had the same problem, the device got into start loop. JUST DO A FULL WIPE..! and the device should start normally. I worked for me.... :good:

Hi,
So, I got a Samsung Galaxy TAB 8.9 (GT-7300) WiFi+3G. Nordic/European version. I have a long history of rooting and running custom ROM's on my Android devices, but this time i f##ed up a bit.
1. Installed root_original.zip from this thread by copying it on to the tablet and applying it from stock recovery.
2. Booted and installed Superuser and ROM Manager from Market.
3. Used ROM Manager to install CWM for Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Yes, I know...).
4. Tab would not boot, but I could still get in to download mode. Browsed some XDA threads and came across this guy who seemed to have the same problem. I did not see that he had a P7310 (WiFi only) tablet. So, I used Odin 1.85 to install the bootloader, which was for the P7310, not for P-7300. Now, the tablet boots but the display is just flickering, like it is using a wrong refresh rate or wrong resolution. Not at all possible to read anything, but I can still get into Download mode.
5. Installed stock rom from here, specifically this one: P7300XWLA2------2012 January----P7300NEELA1-----Nordic countries----
Still no luck. The tablet boots into Android but the display is still flickering.
$20 for anyone who gets me out of this mess
Can you come in recovery ?
Than try this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519564
There is an option in CWM under the mount and storage tab where stands mount usb connection click on that and move this to your tab after that install it
I hope it will work!
You could also try the Swedish firmware: http://hotfile.com/dl/146666862/13403b2/P7300XWKL4_P7300NSEKL1_NSE.zip.html
The NSE are usually pretty much the same as NEE with some swedish bloatware. Worth a try I guess.
Also see this guide for how to use Odin in case you did something wrong: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137
One thing that I've noticed when flashing with Odin is that even if I check the F.reset checkbox it still does not do a factory reset (at least it did not do it for me). You should be able to do a factory reset using the stock recovery.
Oh and btw, my advice is for free.
Hi safariking,
I can get in to recovery, but I'm unable to read anything, as the display is just flickering. I would need a press-by-press guide in order to perform the steps correctly... :/
Thanks kallt_kaffe, I'll try the swedish firmware and follow the guide step-by-step

If you turn it off and charge it, is the charging-mode-display also distorted?
Also if I were you I would leave it on in download or recovery mode and let the battery drain completely. Worth a shot I guess.

If I turn it off it automatically turns back on and boots Android. So I can't see if the "charging while turned off" icon is also distorted.

I left it in download mode last night, it's still turned on. I'll let the battery drain and see what happens when I connect the charger.
When I flash a complete ROM with Odin (e.g. the Swedish ROM you suggested) - is there anything left to flash that could be causing this? If I were to return the tablet to the dealer, will there be any evidence of dumb-user-flashing?

I honestly do not know.
Have you tried flashing the PIT file (in the PIT section) along with the ODIN image (in the PDA section)? You can download the PIT file so you can click on Repartition, right here. It's a very small file. Be sure you have F.Reset Time checkmarked too. Best of lucks.
If you flash a bootloader for P7310 so when you trying to flash P7300 ROM with odin, the bootloader will mapping all file just like P7310 with their partition Layout.. I think the pit file is not the solution..
First you need turn back the bootloader to original form.. I dont know where I can find P7300 bootloader..
After you finish with the bootloader, try to install P7300 Stock rom, with pit file and repartition..
I dont know if this post will help you.. but it worth to try..
EDIT:
maybe you can use firmware from P7300ZSKH5 from this link
This file include with bootloader and pit file..
Flash with Odin like image below
Sorry for my english..

Thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately: no luck.
Just to be sure this isn't a compatibility issue on my computer, I set up a clean install Win7. I'm using x64, could this be an issue?

As long as you have the right drivers installed, no. That's my setup.
I had a similar issue. It occured only when I turned display off and on, both in android and in battery charging mode while powered off. I just went back to the store and got it replaced. xD
Anyway the flickering began to show up after flashing 3.2 back from a 4.0 rom... So I think there was something wrong with the bootloader.. Didnt find any tar file containing the original bootloader.. Perhaps someone here can make it for you
hey,
i got same problem after i tried to install cm9. now i cant install nothing (i formated cash, data, system and preload) no data factory reset working. i have nonstop bootloops and format cache and dalvik not working but cwm ist starting but not working really. but can start download mode too ... so i think its not a super-brick for my gt 7300 from switzerland.
so, i will try to download from samMobile the original firmware and to flash with odin. anybody knows a tutorial with odin for gt 7300? cant find nothing for pit, csc, tar ...
please help me

I have to say, I was about to send the tablet to samsung, it was dead, no rom, no boot, no partition, no USB connection to store, what save me was the Odin up load that you recommended me, the tablet was really crashed.
I Think that is a sollution for actually almost any problem on the tablet (a complete format, sure, but still a good solution for ROM problems).
anyway, Many Thanks!!!!!!

Hello!
First of all I've searched all the posts about this problem.. and personally I can't fix it.
So here is what I've done to brick my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (I think that's called a non-usable device).
Installed few ROMs and finally after taking some decisions I've returned back on ICS 4.0.3 (Flashed with ODIN 1.85).
Restored EFS with kTool (because ClearNotev5 did something wrong with my phone.. and discovered after few hours that I can restore EFS).
Updated ICS 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 using WIFI (OTA I think it's called) and BANG after restart phone stucked at Bootscreen.
So from yesterday untill now I've restored my phone to factory settings few times(GB 2.3.5 & 2.3.6/ICS 4.0.4),repartitioned with .pit files for N7000 16GB,installed different custom/stock ROMs and nothing.
I've discovered few minutes ago while triyng to make a factory restore (GB 2.3.5) that my phone stucked at data.img... I've read about this and it is said that I must change my N7000 motherboard.. I have no warranty so please help.. and sorry for my bad english
Read many times about ota harbrick, i think its not advisable to use ota for upgrade. Sorry for your loss.
Flash gb in pc odin, if sucessfull and still stuck in logo go to CWMR and perform 3 wipes. This is all advise i can give you.
And try different gb rom.

I think you had already tried the recovery method from a bricked device. So if you still facing problems you have to change the MB.

I still haven't fix it but here is what I want:
Can someone give me different versions of GB (I've tried only one with CSC,MODEM but this now stops at data.img..) :crying:
I have to make a repartition to my phone? Will that help?
And can someone guide me through a tutorial step by step on how to revive my phone from EMMC Bug..?
PS: When I try to wipe data in CWM (using Hydracore Kernel v2.0b STD) with ICS 4.0.4 (Stock) my N7000 stucks,same for installing CleaNotev5.0 (stucks at Extracting\System).. But what is curios is that, I can clear Dalvik Cache and Cache, I can install Kernels and run N7000 in DOWNLOAD/CWM or stock Restore mode.
Any solutions?Please help..

Just follow the step there.
I've experienced before, and revive it using this method. So far mine still work well, and no further error ever since.
You will loose certain GB on your internal storage. Which for me it's not a big deal. I'm kinda lazy to go to samsung repair center, unless my phone is totally dead.
Here is my step (follow at your own risk) :
1. You have to know first your N7000 is the 16GB or 32GB, and then you download the correct pit for your phone.
2. After you download, extract the zip file.
3. Since mine is the 16GB, I've picked this pit file to use (inside the zip) : Q1_20110914_16GB-patched-regain-0102400-kB.pit (the pit file will be vary depending on which sector your phone brick)
4. Put your phone on to download mode.
5. Open ODIN PC and connect your phone, and wait till ODIN say "Added" and you see that your phone has connected.
6. Put the patch pit file I choose, then put the samsung stock rom as the PDA (if you downloaded 1 file only for the stock ROM, if not, put properly for the PDA, Phone, and CSC).
7. Check ON the "repartition", "Auto-reboot", "F-reset time"
8. Click Start, and wait till the process has finished. Your phone should auto reboot by then.
9. My phone has recovered, and I lost 1GB internal storage.
One last thing, try not to do wipe on ICS, unless you are on a safe kernel like speedmod / GLNotecore.
For Hydracore (You may check with the developer), I haven't tested it yet for wiping. But for those speedmod and GLNotecore, is confirm safe kernel. I've tried these 2 for wiping.
PS : if you are not sure with my step on reviving with the pit file, I suggest you to read the link above from the OP for the pit revive method.
Good Luck !

No problem. Just pick any gb rom, one problem at a time, your problem now is how your phone can boot up.
If you want go to www.sammobile.com and pick your specific rom.

LE: emmc_find_brick_end.zip stuck at:

Shouldn't be a problem. However, best to root current, then efs backup multiple locations. See dr ketans toolbox thread on how.
Your phones csc is also Romania? Best to stick with your phones csc and those country roms if you want to continue ota/kies updatability in the future Dial *#06# for emei and then *#272*yourimeihere# to find out 3 letter csc.

Hello guys!
My friend gave his Galaxy Note for me to get a brick fix. He said that he flashed the German ICS STOCK ROM and wiped using CWM. He said that he entered in a bootloop. Then he tried to flash using ODIN, but it stopped at factoryfs, as known at the eMMC bug. In the bug, he disconnected the USB cable and he is seeing a message which says to connect to Kies and select recovery. But he said that didn't worked and Kies didn't recognized the phone. Even with ODIN, loaded with PIT and PDA, the phone wasn't able to receive factoryfs, the same file from the 1st error. I followed a lot of tutorials here on XDA and used the search to find a similar thread. He needs help, since recovery mode, charging mode and normal mode are blocked by the message. I need a ROM which contains the PDA, the CSC and the MODEM files. I already have the PIT, so I need those 3 files to try again.
--PHONE DETAILS--
Samsung Galaxy Note N7000
16GB Storage
LAST Firmware completelly flashed: XXLRQ (I think that is the firmware which you can't wipe)
ICS Stock
Thanks!
EDIT: I tried with another GB firmware and with an ICS firmware. Still NOT WORKING.
EDIT #2: The phone still have Download mode open!
BIGGEST EDIT:
All of the methods in this thread are NOT WORKING. Still stops at factoryfs and CWM says "Installation Aborted". SO, WHAT I CAN DO? He is desperated, I'm desperated. PLEASE ANSWER FAST !!

He did successfully bricked his devices.. If you are not able to enter into download mode you have a paperweight in your hands... If he has warranty try to get it replaced.. If he doesn't then try the pit file method on the general forum..
You don't need any 3 files.. It's the same or at least the effect its the same with 1 or 3 files

Well then your only option its the warranty or pay samsung either for a new phone or a mother board replacement...
That pit file method its only a partial solution to help you get your device partially working maybe a couple of months.. When the emmc bug happens it does damage the Emmc chip so the hardware its fried and there's no software that can repair it..
The pit method could work for someone but not for others.. Depends on the damage

Here I think you may find a solution for your problem.
If you think you need to flash the 3 files with odin try flashing an old GB ROM, you can find it here, some (NOT ALL) of the ROM in this post has PDA, CSC and PHONE part.
Good luck!

It's doesn't matter if it's 1 or 3 files.. The pit file just repartition the emmc in order to reacomodate the memory and so you can flash the rom.. Flashing separately phone csc and PDA won't make any difference..

This solution is based on a GB kernel. I'm in the same situation as Mr.Indigo, with the same ROM and the same problems. I need to use CM9 kernel to use with ICS, right? Or I can use GB kernel?

Yeah already told you.. Walk to the nearest samsung center and claim the warranty or pay for a replacement

unfortunately sound like a brick to me. failed flashing via pc odin and stuck at factoryfs has something to do with your root. so i heard.. the best way is to send it to SSC for repair while you still have the warranty

He didn't have warranty. I'm trying to flash any PIT which owns factoryfs. He said that fails to wipe into some minutes and I have 88 factoryfs PITs. So I have to flash ALL of them to know. BTW I can flash a kernel using ODIN!
