[Q] weird brick

hi.
sorry, new here, first post.
searched the forum, didnt found.
i bought a p1000L from a guy who had it from elsewhere in the world. used and unlocked. the serial says P1000LGSMH.
(it has a little antenna to watch tv, if this helps...)
of course i wanted to update it to the gingerbread. i took a gingerbread from samfirmware.com, and flashed it with odin.
as there were localized firmwares, i took one that didnt had any specific location, that i believed universal or so.
it doesnt start anymore not in normal, nor in download or repair. ok, brick, but here's the catch: the keys glow and it makes the little music. kies knows there is something there, but dosent connect. heimdall finds a compatible device, but doesnt connect either. odin doesnt know nothing.
so is there a way to unbrick this, or is it dead boot ?

Hmmmm.... did you look here ?

my bad. odin finds it too. the com port is yellow.
but, it doesnt go into download mode.
it kind of boots a little, glows the keys, and vibrates a bit.
if i turn up or down the volume, it bleeps and vibrates.
but screen is black...
i watched the thread you pointed, but all of this serves when you can access the download mode.
sometimes, but not all the times, i press the power bouton, it boots with the little sounds and vibration, but black screen. then, i odin/heimdall find the device.
but if i press power-volume down, it never goes to download (at least, odin/heimdall never find it)
update : now, kies asks me to reconnect the device in pc mode, because the current connection mode is not suported...

find a rom that you know works for your tab and odin it. even if it doesn't look like it recognizes it, it probably does. besides what could it hurt....AS LONG AS YOU FLASH A ROM THAT YOU KNOW WILL WORK FOR YOUR TAB. good luck!

odin recognise it, but doesnt want to send anything in there.
i tried various that "should" worlk, but as i cant enter to download mode, just nothing happens.
would there be an other way to force download mode ?

ODIN doesnt want to send anything in there. or YOU dont want to send anything in there?
If odin recognizes it then i dont think heres a reason for it not to flash files to the device..
anyway, download a reliable rom, kernel and model then flash it using odin and see what happens

Hmmmm... sounds very weird to me. If Odin finds a device, it means it can connect to it. What error(s) does Odin return when you try to flash something ?

my com port is yellow, and he knows there is something.
error message is :
<ID:0/003> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
i donwloaded another tar, that is intended for the p1000N (i got L, but its latin too.), just to see what happens :
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

Hi,
Try again but with the *.tar.md5 file renamed to *.tar
Odin just checked the CheckSum and found it OK
I don't know about the differences between the "N" and "L" machines, but I would'nt recommend flashing ROM's not specified for your device.

ok. tryed the N.
it installed, but couldnt get anything else than the blinking samsung. (witch is a huge step i think.)
i think that one of the big problem there is that the samfirmwares that i think i need are hosted on multiupload, and, or the link is dead or the site is dead.
i found area and operator specific firmwares for the L, but they are no use.
more, the phone and csc files dont exist in those.
any other idea where i could find one ?

Yah, ok ... what revision of Odin are you running ? There seem sometimes problems with the newest (1.8 i believe) , so maybe try find an older (1.7) version.

it is the 1.7... :s
title says odin3 1.70. android + slp

i use odin v3 1.70 and here's what mine happens to look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
If you've installed any usb filters or anything libusb-related (including messing with heimdall), you must uninstall all of that before odin seems to work properly. If your on AMD hardware and have AMD's USB filter driver installed, I would even suggest removing that too (however it hasn't given me any problems).
And if odin still doesn't work for you, you could maybe try heimdall

i switched computer. on that one, completely free of samsung stuff, intel based, i got this :
i had a try in heimdall. heimdall uncompress the package into a folder, then simply says there is no firmware.xml in the pakage and then trash the files and do nothing.

With heidmall, I had to use manual flash from command prompt. In short, you have to take the tar, extract it somewhere, and then take heidmall and put it in the same folder with the files.
I made a zip file containing what you need for heidmall (except Samsung's actual drivers, but I guess you have those installed already), but you just need to throw the files that the readme asks for in the same folder (take the tar, extract all the contents to the folder)

it finaly worked !!!
thank you so much guys.
i found out something else, and that fixed the problem.
in fact, whatever i installed saturday work, but not well at all.
it showed an interface (the locale interface), BUT, the screen wasnt lit. so he was displaying something but didnt have the corect screen driver, nor the touch driver.
and, figuring that, i could enter a download mode, i had to destroy my eyes trying to watch what it displayed. after a while, i saw a kind of triangle, so i assumed it was a download mode. there, odin would work and send in the humbertOS, and the rest was easy.
lesson learnt. never do the first tutorial i find.

Help with my possible SOFT BRICK note

Hi
I bought me a 2nd hand galaxy note yesterday but was on 2.3.6 Ginger minger so this morning proceeded to update to ICS via KIES
stuck on 3% for 10 mins then on 4% reported an error, ever since I have been unable to follow any recovery options
Problem I have now is running Odin 1.85 with "N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_N7000XXLRB_HOME.tar.md5"
I am only able to boot into download mode not recovery but when I connect the USB cable, big fat nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone help me please
PS: I know how tetchy mods can be when you post in wrong section so apologies in advance
Cheers
EFC

if you connect the phone on download mode to your PC, does odin detect your note??
you can flash ICS even if the screen shows nothing as long as it gets detected by odin

Nope, and nor do I get the windows noise when you have plugged in a USB device like a mouse or something!!
I have re-installed the Samsung USB drivers twice both times it said they were already installed but I done it anyway
Does this sound fixable? Would a phone shop only try same recovery options that I am trying?

ok, let me get this straight..
you have download mode, no recovery right?
if you boot into download mode, then connect the phone, it doesn't get detected (blank screen) ?? have you tried charging the device then trying to connect again? or simply remove the battery then re-insert?

Does not go blank says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"
Battery was full before I started this so I doubt its in need of a charge
Odin does not report any connecting in the Message box, tried on a different PC even installing "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones" but still nothing
So I can asume that the issue with not connecting to Odin is with the phone
Question is.....what is my next move?
Thanks for your help much appreciated

I have given up, been trying since 10 this morning
Samsung has gone right down in my estimation due to this, all I done was install KIES and was when phone connected it prompted me to install an updated firmware, then got error at 4%
Never had this with HTC so if I cant get a warranty replacement am screwed!!!

Was Your phone locked or something before this happened ?
Maybe you could try a new Rom File...

I have tried 3 different firmwares 2 of them FAIL in Odin while 1 gets stuck on "setup connection"
It is in Warranty so are Vodafone going to want to attempt a repair or will it be a straight swap?

I think it will be a repair as its not a hardware fault I think.
Use ODIN 1.85. Maybe a last try before returning it to Service Centre ?
And don't change any option in ODIN. I think you have changed it.. Maybe I am wrong lol... Just wondering...

try to flash any custom kernel only with odin, not firmware, and if the kernel flashed, try to go to recovery and then full wipe and flash any rom.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Stuck on boot logo

The issue with mine is i have no history on this phone... its my co-workers who got it from a friend who is clueless about his own damn phone.... bought from a local guy.
anyways im in guam and i have no way of checking if this model was on a custom rom or what not or if the unit was pure stock all around i cant go into recovery mode at all only into ODIN which tells me to download a custom OS ... i myself am not a tech guy so im new to this just reading around but you all are well aware of what firmware and what not your unit was on but me i have no clue due to it not being able to fully start up and not charging only through my laptop port which at that wont even help cause my laptop tells me its not recognized but i have the drivers downloaded in already and have kies from my previous androids i had.
so my search is to find someone who can help me out here with me not knowing at all pretty much being blind to what the units firmware or ROM was even on and so forth.

that is as far as i get then it just says fail...... my phone will only charge when connected to my laptop but not to my wall charger. my phone can enter download mode but not recovery mode.
when connected to my laptop the driver doesnt recognize it but it can be detected on odin but on kies it wont.

more help
okay ..... so its either the rom itself you are trying to flash or something else ....
first : what do you mean when you charge it from the plug it wont go ?? this is a real problem ... if you have another charger try it with first then if its not charging you'll need to service that mobile via samsung service center cause you cant do anything with an empty battery ....
if my guess is right then it a faulty charger and you need a new charger ... thats it , after checking this step you can try downloading another rom which i am sure it will be all right cause i am already using it :
try this link :
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/198300717/4646e97/N7000JPLSB_N7000OJPLSA_XSG.zip.html
download this version of odin too :
http://www.4shared.com/get/U6DTV0GA/gt-n7000_flasher__pit.html
you'll need to uninstall samsung kies , reboot you pc ,
and install samsung latest usb drivers :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
Note : DO NOT FLASH ANY FIRMWARE UNLESS YOU HAVE GOTTEN DEVICE IS READY TO USE AND ALL DRIVERS INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY
afterwards you will extract odin and the firmware (md5 file + dll file "important" ) on you desktop in a folder and then you'll use odin in administrator mode then you make sure you note battery > 50% at least then make your note in odin mode ( vol down + home + power , then vol up to enter odin mode )
plug your note to usb and let the pc reapply drivers then youll put md5 file in pda bar and pit 16 gb in pit , also check your note internal capacity ... maybe you are lucky and have 32gb or even 64gb
okay then press start .... normally it would take less than 10 minutes to complete , 8 minutes 15 seconds of waiting then you have your note booting , unplug it from pc when odin says ok ( blue ) or pass ( green ) then here you go ... Jelly bean !!

teah man still no damn luck it keeps on failing and if it aint failed yet its like passed 30min. and still nothing changed.... do i put the PIT and the PDA or do i do it one by one.... do the GT7000 PIT first then the N7000 PDA after?!....
a step by step video would do more wonders than just reading.... cause i think my issue is way different cause i dont even know if this phone is unlocked or what or anything about it cause i got it bricked. stuck on boot logo and HARD RESET isnt accessible and im in GUAM.... ya know where GUAM is?!......

Me having same issue guys :crying: i am following this thread please experts help us !!

TRY booting in recovery or download mode.
recovery : volume up+home+power at the same time
download : volume down+home++power at the same time.
let us know if you can get into both or any of these modes

Help with brick please

Hey all,
As per title, A while back I rooted and installed a few custom roms on my unit before sticking with one named
"GT-7000_SweetROM_V11.1_LTA" and all was going well until a "super user" app update and a "low battery" met in the middle and my phone lost power and turned off.
Now my phone will not boot and freezes on the samsung logo, pressing vol up + power + home will, not bring up the recovery mode
but vol down + power + home will take me to a download screen, Odin, if my research is right.
I've read a few posts with the same symptoms as me but with different reasons for getting there in the first place and I'm unsure of what to do.
If my reading has been correct I'm not hard bricked but am in a bit of a spot and PC Odin can help me out, but then there are different versions of Odin as well.
Just some more bits and peices that I can think of to try and give you all as much info as possible. here goes,
I do remember Philz ???? something on my phone and was able to switch between roms by placing them on the external micro sd card and using vol up + power + home to navigate a menu.
Whilst writing this post I have had my unit plugged in via usb and it justs sits there with the battery icon showing but it shows no movement ie: the little cirle will not spin nor will the green charge level go up. Also it tried to install "mobi" something onto my pc.
Another problem I'm having is finding a valid download link for PC Odin any help there would be cool.
If you need anymore info I'll do my best but I'm very new to this, many thanks
E2A: have downloaded Odin and phone is reconized there just need to learn how to use the Prog

Download and flash PhilZ kernel 15.5 odin version. Flask on via odin (put it in pda tab and flash) and see if you can get your phone working again or can get into recovery. If not download and.flash whole stock jb rom. There is also a ltc rom odin version recently posted in one of the two dev threads.
As how to use odin for note, find the famous sticky thread by dr.ketan in our n7000 forum.

@rinksy55 you said low battery right? charge the battery first and then try to go to recovery and download mode.

Yeah low battery which doesnt seem to be charging acording to the widget but I can enter download mode whilst plugged in to usb but not recovery
just for info my phone acts the same wether plugged into comp or the wall socket with samsung hardware
guess Im screwed eh?
thanks

I would try a new battery.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

I'm sure the battery is fine it's the phone thats mucked up, I've not had any problems to idicate my battery was failing
Are there any other avenues I could explore? I'm willing to get a new battery but then I could have 1 phone and 2 dead batteries and no way of charging.
When I tried flashing PhilZ kernel and the jb rom with Odin it was Odin that did its thing then reported to have failed, the phone had power to it the whole time and was showing the download screen with the message "do not turn off target".
thanks for you help so far

Thanks for helping out :good:
Drivers are up to date, installed kies then uninstalled leaving the drivers behind.
USB, have used all the ports on my pc
Changed cable, used the wife's S3 cable
Ports, I can open ports easy, thought that was just router tho
PC, not sure what you mean there but running Win7 with decent spec.
Still the same outcome, fails on connection
thanks for taking the time tho

I saw that link earlier and tried 'PhilZ-cwm6-ZSLR1-OZS-5.11.2.tar.md5' and after reading your last post went back and tried 'PhilZ-cwm6-ZSLR1-OZS-5.11.2.tar.md5'
dont think its the rom heres the text from odin:
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

1. Install the latest drivers from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956/
2. Reboot
3. Disable all antiviruses
4. On your phone:
a) Boot into download mode
b) Plug your phone into your PC (only plug it into the USB 2.0 ports, don't do it on 3.0 or 1.1 or 1.0 etc.)
c) Follow the on screen instructions saying something along the lines of "Press volume up to continue" - you want to continue
d) Check whether Odin has detected your phone, if it has continue to step 5
5. Flash a stock ROM or kernel
6. If it succeeds, boot into recovery and perform a factory reset <= ONLY IF IT ISN"T ICS

OK.. Odin is not able to get to the PIT mappings.. There seems to be some connection issues. Check with newer version of Odin.. Also probably a different pc.

done all of this with same result, as soon as I try to flash ROM Odin waits a while then reports fail
Tried with latest version of Odin, 3.07 and that just sits at 'SetupConnection' in the dialog box

I got that mobogenie rubbish by accident once too, it came with daemon tools.
Can you perhaps try those steps on another computer?

I do have an old lappy but it has Ubuntu installed and that drives me nuts lol, only other option is to put Odin plus Rom onto memory stick and visit a friend..
You said something about PIT and Ive seen some posts on it, I guess that roue is last resort?
really appreciate you help here

If there is a proper connection, then odin should be able to get the partition mapping from the phone and will be displayed as
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

and if I cant get a proper connection (I can't, Odin never gets past SetupConnection) Im doomed?

That's why try on a different pc.

Would a clean install of win7 work, I have spare hard drive I could try, I'm guessing youre thinking driver probs on my pc
thanks again

There is no revert back to 4.4.2. What you've linked to is jelly bean. And there is no going back there. What is your issue exactly?

Have you tried either pulling the battery or holding the power button for about 15 seconds to boot back into system? ? Or is there no system to go back to? Which there should be with stock recovery.

Battery pull shuts off phone then I put it back in and it just goes to download mode. if I hold the power button for 15 seconds it just boots back into download mode. It is stock recovery.

Uh oh. This is beyond my comprehension. I don't know how this happened with a stock recovery. Hold tight and someone else should be able to help better than I can. What were you trying to do when this happened?

All I can think to do is boot into recovery and hit reboot system. Then let it sit. It usually takes mine about 5 mins from there. We can't use odin and without safe strap there is no flashing a replacement rom.
If you can get to att boot screen give it as long as you can to boot

That's crazy. From a dead phone if you hold volume up home key and power button in that order you can't get to recovery? I don't mean to state the obvious but I don't know how familiar you are. I've had 8 note 3s and I've never been in a spot where I can't get to recovery.

Im sorry. I thought I'd take a crack at it. I don't know where to lead you from there. I wish you the best. I've bricked a few phones myself.
I hope you get it resolved. SOMEONE here will be able to help you.

I sent you a PM if you could look at it, it may help.

I'm in the exact same situation and have been trying everything that's been posted but still no success. I'm going to hangout here and see if we can find something that can be done or point us in the right direction. Just letting you know you're not alone on this bud

Hey guys. Check out my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65467618&postcount=6, read through everything and start at step #4 where you flash the NC2 stock image in the odin AP slot, this should get your phone working again. After that feel free to continue to follow the steps to root, etc. Let me know if this doesn't work and I'll do my best to continue to help.
As long as you can get into download mode, your phone is fine. I've went out of my way testing these to try and permanently brick this phone. I even got it to stop being detected by a computer while in download mode and was still able to recover.
Best of luck

I have a question and I hope someone is still reading through these threads. I have a Galaxy Note 3 AT&T SM-N900A. When I bought it a couple weeks ago, (I already own another one but a T-Mobile variant, to which I've had no issues) I wanted to root it. So I did. Then I removed some system apps. Then I realized I wanted to update it since it was only 4.3! Well OTA was out of the question and so was KIES as I rooted. SO I thought it'd be best to unroot and flash stock firmware and continue to update via OTA. That has not happened. Every time I try to flash stock firmware, regardless of the version of Odin, regardless of where I downloaded the firmware, I always get a fail!!! NOTHING WORKS!!! I even unistalled KIES, reinstalled drivers, tried different USB chords, including the one that came with the phone!!!! I just want to get it back to it's original state so that I can update it via OTA or KIES. I'll paste the ODIN message and a thumbnail that has a screenshot of my phone in download mode when ODIN fails. If ANYONE can help in ANY WAY, I'll donate!!!!! I'll do almost anything!! This is driving me crazy and I'm not one who likes to admit defeat and bring it to Best Buy, especially since Best Buy is over an hour away from here!!! There has to be a way I CAN do this! Here is the ODIN fail message:
<ID:0/006> Added!!

Odin may be failing because the bootloader on the phone may be newer that the bootloader you are flashing.

So I need to root it again first, then update it to Lollipop using this guide, correct?

Rooting has nothing to do with installing recovery, boot loader, or ROM.
You are using the wrong file for your phone.
