[Q] Galaxy Note bricked? No. Problem solved. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is the situation:
Windows XP 32bit
Galaxy Note with LA4
Odin V1.85
KIES latest version
Latest Android SDK
I tried today to downgrade to a directly rootable stock ROM. It failed?
My Note stucks on the bootscreen.
I can put the Note in the downloadmode. When I start Odin, I see a yellow box under ID:COM with 0:[COM7], so my computer sees the Note. I want to flash the rootable stock ROM as described in many threads, especially following Dr. Ketans Guide
But it fails, it stucks at Initialzation..

I tried the LA4 stock ROM, same problem.
After this I have putted the Note in recovery mode and this is what I see:
"E:failed to mount /sdcard (Unknown error: 0)"
"E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount /sdcard"
" your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions."
"copy application failed"
In the recovery mode I tried Factory reset and Wipe cache...no effect.
Since 4pm I have tried many things, read threads and posts, but nothing has solved my problem. By the way I have not seen a problem as described above no where. Is there a genius who can solve this/my problem?
Or is my Note bricked?

The only thing i can see is that it can't mount the SD. Other than that, i don't know. And you know i had my own problems yesterday, so i'm not in the position to know what might be wrong. But one thing is sure, it's not bricked since you can enter download mode.
I know it's frustrating, but you'll have to wait for somebody that knows some things about Odin. I used it myself for the first time yesterday since the Note is my first Samsung device.

see if you can turn off the note. press and hold volume + power and home to get to cwm.. do a data factory reset. then flash with odin in download mode. also make sure you put the correct files in odin when flashing. i had the same problem with my sg2 a few months back when i was fresh with android os. i spent 4 hours figuring it out when it only took 5 mins to fix lol.

Connect to Kies and see if your phone is beeing recognized. If not reinstall the usb drivers. Reboot the phone and pc afterwards and try again. ENABLE USB DEBUGGING in settings also.
Hope it helps

I think this is related to SD card.(Internal)
Have you try using repartition?
I think it may work, NOTE THIS is just my thinking, I can't take any guarranty, you may use at your own risk, if other measures failed
Flash with repartition selected, n selecting pit file
here attached it (extract before use)for note 16GB (routine, not for 32GB)

Reflash stock rom with a different usb port and cable

As you can read I can't ENABLE USB DEBUGGING, because I can't start my Note up normally. Thanks for your help.

If I open Kies to select recevory mode it asks for a recovery code. I tried some codes like 0000,1234 and others, but no good...

Really glad to hear.
It is really painful when some one say bricked lovely device.
its ok now, congratulation.
it is advisable once you format internal SD card. Not in hurry, but at least before next update.

Today I figured something out:
If you encounter problems with rooting/flashing try another or original USB cable, maybe a different USB port....
My problem as described in my first post was a combination of a fail USB cable and a software problem.

thanks for the help.
i'll try to replace my cable and try a new port.
what i did is trues to flash xxla4 from criskelo with Odin.
while doing that yhe action was breaked an since than i get the massege "an issue encountered...".
i tried almost everything (all i knew and mange to find in the net): tried again with odin, tried to flash 5 different roms from the list in dr.ketan thread.
tries to boot into recovery (no success), tried to recover with kies (it is not being identified by it).

now the battary won't charge. need to send it to the Lab.
thanks anyway. (i'll as them what they did)

Odin Stuck, Barely Got to Download Mode

Hey all,
I've softbricked my Captivate and back to download mode using a JIG. It took me awhile to get it there as well. Anyhow, my phone is connected to the PC and is recognized by the OS and Odin3 3 Button Fix v1.81. It is not detected by Odin 1 click. When I attempt to flash back to stock, Odin REALLY enjoys to "setupconnection" with my phone. So much so it stays there for 10+ mins. I've heard people say that the PDA check box causes this issue. I've flashed to stock before and it hasn't been an issue until now. I was wondering if I can leave out the PDA.zip just to get back to stock 2.1. Would there be many ill effects? Especially if I'm just going to flash to a custom ROM?
I was on CM7 Nightly build 14. I attempted to recover back to Phoenix Ultimate using CWM. It failed when installing something that had to do with boot. Should I also add a bootloader file to the Odin install?
Thanks!
Just restart your PC and try one click odin...if Odin 1.8 is detecting then one click odin should also detect IMO...
I am not 100% sure but you do need PDA to flash to stock...try Icezar's package, its safest way to flash to stock..
Not really an answer to your question, but did you have repartition checked when you used odin? To return stock?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I did have re-partition clicked. I got the same results with and without it clicked. I had it showing up in Odin 1 click, but that got stuck with file analysis or the like. Now I have the Phone ! PC screen and I'm not sure how to proceed.
EDIT: Sorry for lying, back in download.

So, Odin was flashing and the battery fell out. /cry
JIG now opens Phone ! PC screen and the Odin won't recognize it. I've had Odin opened first and loaded all information before hand. No luck so far.
Any tips?
EDIT: New Captivate coming from ATT. Thanks for the help everyone!

[HELP] - upgrade gone wrong?

hi all,
i was on KL3, rooted, then KIES kept bothering me so i thought i'd upgrade to the new LA3 i think....
then the thing crashed and now all i get is the Firmware upgrade encounted an issue. PLease recovery mode in Kies and try again.
problem is, i cant get it to go into recovery mode?!??!?! (volume up, power?)
nothng works, KIes cant detect it, and cant upgrade anything, i am a total noob, and can only get into ODin mode..
HELP please?!?!?
what do i need to do, please step by step, what to download, what to press and whether i need to get a micro sd to install some firmware?
thankyou - urgent help needed!
First of all, relax
You said you can get into "Odin Mode"? I suppose that's download mode. Just go to this thread and everything is explained here. No need to worry
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Just flash another firmware (why not the latest) and everything will be just fine.
P.S. Once rooted, you should probably stay away from stock upgrades...
Press thanks if it helped
Recovery : vol up + home + power
If you get into recovery just wipe cache n wipe data
If error still there
Go to download :
vol dwn + home + power
Reflash new rom

confirm you have close antivirus if running
Dont put ROM file too deep, better keep on Root folder e.g. C:/Folder/***.tar.md5
Dont use USB extension, attach USB cable direct to slot on PC, try using different slot (preferably back side PC)
N dont forget to put device in download mode.
Thankyou Dr.Ketan and eug3n91
worked after i switched to the onboard USB.
i guess thats probably why Kies failed too....
this site is fantastic, been a lurker for a while, but never needed to post until today and its proven to be very succesful with both of you helping out so quick.
cant thankyou enough!

I'm afraid this has to do with corrupted memory partitions. It's what devs called 'superbricks' if I'm not mistaking...
You could try a ROM with a PIT file, hoping that would repartition any bad sectors.
Again, I could be mistaken. Try to read some other threads around here. A lot of.others have also encountered this problem

When you stuck at factoryfs.img = system partition corrupted
I tried with PIT file (Q1_20110914_16GB.pit) and ICS LYP Rom and it stucks on "NAND WRITE START" that comes after "factoryfs.img" I even uses "re-partition" in Odin. Nothing works.....

[SOLVED]Get PIT for Mapping

Hmm this is odd..
Flashed this GB Stock via PC Odin many times and competes without issue, Tried it today and I am currently stuck at Get PIT for Mapping... It;s a single file ROM I am trying and no I have not selected to use a PIT file or repartition or anything...
Everything is the same as normal,
Phone just shows in Download mode but with no activity...
Any ideas? Am I safe to do a battery pull / disconnect it at this point? Do I wait? Its been like this for half hour or soo..
Very strange..
This is where I'm stuck -
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> N7000XXKKA_N7000CPWKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

From the above - it has not started any "Push" activity yet and there's nothing showing (Progress bar or anything) on the phone so I assume it's cool to pull the cable.. Just wondering if anyone else had this issue...
Fix Info
If you're like me and a little worried about things like this then it's best to ask - As i stated, from my understanding here, ODIN had NOT started any NAND write.
This was resolved by unplugging the USB > ODIN immediately turned to "Failed" > Rebooted phone > Rebooted PC > Success..
I DO NOT recommend unplugging USB from ODIN without either A} Knowledge or B) Advice
If it HAS started to write and you're stuck somewhere other than this (Factory_FS / Data IMG etc), seek advice.. and most of all 'Search before asking....'
Thanks all
replied to PM
Here a SS
Cheers Dr. K
Was looking for just that kind of assurance
I pulled the cable and all is well, Probably something rogue running on my PC as I've used the image to flash before loads of times..
Oh well, I'll wait until I finish work and try again
Yeah this is common, nothing serious.
pit mapping starts everytime, even you dont select pit.
cheers !

So......
I've not got an expensive paperweight it would seem?
Any ideas guys, I've offered alot in the past and this is purely trying to flash a GB Stock ROM i've used a thousand times in PC Odin....
Could it be a comms error? My laptop is ****e...
Flash Pre rooted ROM from my signature.
Phew All sorted...
My advice is don't do **** on a HP laptop hahaha
Nah - i think I lost connection once or twice - AzzleDazzle on his IIRC was a saviour - cheers for the replies - I'm back - I'm Stock - and I am updating...
So in effect - this was a massive PC issue....
As I said - Dr. You're always as asset to have on hand and sorry if I spammed ya PM's - was just having a heart attack there for a few..
Without succes
Do have the same problem on my Note 2 and tried to fix it as shown, but withoiut succes. Hope Dr. Ketan, you or another Android cardiologist may help me, Please.

:good: Thanks a lot! Stuck for days on end trying to root my Galaxy S3 t999 when I ran across this. I switched from my HP laptop over to my Dell desktop setup and everything ran perfectly on the first try! I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why Odin kept failing and I couldn't root. Don't know what's up with those HPs.
Solution
You need change other cable. This will change problem
i tried and OK !

[Q] I9305 doesn't boot, Odin fails at flashing boot.img

Galaxy SIII I9305 shows up with not booting, getting stuck at the SIII logo.
Does the same when trying to get into recovery, so I tried to flash it with Odin.
Flash screen says:
Odin Mode
Product Name: GT-I9305
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Knox Warranty Void: 0
RP SWREV: A2

I tried to flash it with the latest packages from Sammobile, but no matter what I try, Odin always fails right away when flashing boot.img... any idea what the problem might be, or what I'm doing wrong?

stupid question, but did you go in to download mode when flashing? thats by pressing menu button + volume down button + power button. then press volume up to agree with download mode and then flash with odin. And make sure you have all drivers installed

I did. As far as I can tell, I did everything according to the guides.
[edit] I also managed to flash a different I9305 without problem, so I'm sure it's not driver or flash file related. There is something with this specific phone that prevents flashing.
I've seen a "rescue firmware" for the I9300 with separate PDA, MODEM and CSC (+.pit) files for when the regular stock firmware wouldn't flash, and I was wondering if such a thing exists for the I9305 or if there is a guide on how I could make one.
Try to get a PIT file for the i9305 and add it to ODIN. If you don't do this, ODIN extracts the PIT from the device, and that might be corrupted.

Can't brick the device much more than it already is, right? I tried it, but it just gets stuck here:
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

I got bored after 15 minutes, turned off the target, turned on the target, no change, still the same error when flashing.
Thought about the Knox bootloader preventing me from updating it, but that usually gives me some kind of error message right on the flash screen. Plus I'm using the latest images, and the other I9305 also says "SWREV A2", so that shouldn't be a problem.
This looks more and more like a motherboard replacement...
All i have to say is, good luck. Things don't look good.
Try to flash just a recovery via ODIN. You'll kiss knox goodbye, but we're out of options.

Tried it, no go. Same error, still won't boot into recovery. On the upside, it didn't trip Knox either
Ok, just for good measure, let's get down to the basics.
Questions:
1. What type of USB cable are you using? Can you try another?
2. Is the USB cable connected directly to the computer , or via HUB / Front ports ?
3. Have you tried cleaning the usb port on the device ?
I've covered all the basics, even tried another computer. Same results.
I couldn't find a solution, ended up sending the phone for a motherboard replacement. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

I didnt see your odin output edit when I responded earlier...... Where did you get that firmware? I dont think its a genuine untouched file because of its name and the fact normally bootloader aboot/sbin/etc flash before recovery/boot/system. Id download a fresh copy of your current firmware from HERE (download is of course slow tho)
You can try reinstalling the drivers. Heres official samsung drivers- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=150304
