I'm not sure whats going on with my D3. However, I have RSD and I have .890 and .959 downloaded as well as Fastboot.
What I want to do is just wipe the phone completely and just flash it like its a brand new phone.
Anyone know how to do so? Please post a link or instructions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Alright, attempt will be made again. Should I redownload RSD again or just the sbf's?

Follow the first portion of the instructions on how to flash back to original 5.6.890. Note the making of a folder and it's name for the 890 flash.
Ignore the part about flashing the new ROM. These are the best instructions I've found so far for flashing back to stock via RSD lite.
Good luck, keep us posted.
Download and follow exactly and you'll be good to go.
Hope that helps.

Let me do some looking when I get home tonight. I remember there being a file for certain versions of XP that helped some people and they couldn't flash without it.
I never had it happen personally, but I know those that did were terribly frustrated.
I also hear the 959 version is easier to flash for some reason. Never flashed that version, so this is only hear-say. But I know it did flash easier according to posts.
I will try to dig up a link for you.
i am getting the same thing also getting the bad CG boot.. now this may be a fix but idk how this guy got it it.. i have been asking eveywhere maybe you guys could help me... here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248721
I found this by Psouza. He is likely the foremost expert on making things easy as far as unbricking your D3. Rumor has it he has a set of unbrick tools floating around this forum somewhere, though I haven't found it yet. Try in the Development thread, for sure it has to be there somewhere.

For those of you having problems flashing this and/or are suspicious of flashing ebr, mbr, and parts of the bootloader, you can selectively just flash the rest of it.

I also saw that flashing the pre-installs file alone first helped someone. That file borked on me once, but I was able to adb it over and then execute it via adb to get my phone unbricked.
Please let us know what works for you, as all of this is a work in progress right now.
Good luck!
i don't know to much about adb and are looking for help on pre-installed files. I don't understand what that means or how to go about it? i also cant get past the bootloader screen, "invalid CG version". i can not boot up at all.
How bricked are you? can you boot into CWM? Are you able to boot into tools, or how far can you get?
What version were you running? 5.959 (stock) or 6.890 OTA or Leaked OTA or Soak test (all the same as far as 6.890 goes).
i can get into boot tools and just tryed another flash got to step 6 till it failed instead of 3.. I'm running stock. Cannot get passed boot tools... scratch all that just tried to flash again just on the off chance it mnight work and i got it. Going to try and re-root and CWN recovery with sdteel froids rom... will keep you in the loop
Awesome!!
Here is the link about the adb commands for preinstall.sh
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17196391&postcount=88
It helped me when I borked my leaked update. I ran into the same problem as limaxray did with too many files in /system. So make sure you clean out any apps you made into system apps before trying the update via the standard update route, and that all stock system apps are in place and properly named.
I had to remove some that updated partially with the leaked update when mine borked. I used the posted system dump to push them to the phone and then the update ran properly and updated them anyhow.
If for some reason re-rooting doesn't work for you. Go to /system/bin and remove su, busybox. Do the same in /system/xbin. For some reason if you already have them in there when you run the process, it will say success but no root after reboot. My 2c as it happened to me. You do not need to remove superuser.apk, but you will have to update it in the market after you re-root.
Congrats!!
I see now too there is a fastboot and moto-fastboot. moto-fastboot has worked for some who had issues from what I've found.
Keep us posted, and smile knowing you've recovered from a bork; none of us got where we are without doing it at least once, so you're in good company.
re-rooted and installed bootstrap, just got steel droid all loaded up and all is good.... thanks for your speedy responses and detailed instructions and links. I realy think all that happened was i took everything aet it sone last time tried to flash and it went threw. All i used was RSD lite and flashed the 8.6.590 fast boot file and after a several retries it went threw. If anyone needs help on this i will post the file links if you need the ones i used

That post contains a good link to the 5.6.890 SBF. Flash that with RSD lite and you'll be fine
Thank you!!!!!

Hey i'm one dumb guy who managed to brick his Galaxy Note...
I received the ICS Update OTA yesterday, i discovered later that i what on the LPY kernel. Then i though it doesn't matter cause i didn't need to flash any rom because the stock gingerbread was perfectly fine for me.
But the update made my phone (had it for only 2weeks) painfull to use. FC all the time etc... Couldn't do a factory reset because of all the warning over here...
So i flashed the franco Kernel wich was to my knowledge a "safe kernel", then i tried to install the Kingdroid Rom, after all 3 wipe. Wich lead me to brick... I've waited 25 minute for the phone to boot up but nothing... So i tried to restore my backup ok ICS that didn't go well either.
After that i tried to flash trough Odin a Gingerbread Rom, before doing so i've read multiple Guides et threads. Odin got stuck at factoryfs.img every time.
So i did some search and achieved to go through this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26285877#post26285877
I went through the process. And i tried to flash a CM9 rom through recovery as the guy recommends. But i'm still stuck on the Galaxy Note bootscreen.
I believe you guys can help me, i still have access to recovery et Download mode.
I believed i wasn't a Noob since My HD2 i've had numerous phone and rooted\flashed countless roms on HTC/Samsung/Motorola/Sony Ericsson phones... In the end i'm finally juste one big noob...
Thanks for those who will help me, and even take some time to read this.
First thing you should do is check other threads about that around here.
If you can get it into download mode, you could give flashing with Odin a try. If it doesn't get stuck at factory.fs, then you're not superbricked.
If it does get stuck, then you have 2 more hopes:
- HOPE 1
- HOPE 2
If those don't work either...I'm afraid it's off to the Samsung Service center for a shiny new motherboard.
Best of luck to you and hope you get your Note up and running as soon as possible...

If we revive your phone, that's easily sorted.
If we don't, you can make it so that the service center can't really tell.
Right now i am trying to install Rocket Rom after installing, Abyss kernel 4.2 and doing a Full wipe. Waiting for the installation.
Edit: Got through the process after two days. It just took me to write this. And tired the whole process once again desperatly and it worked... Can't believe it...

Wow. You're pretty safe now mate, I guess.
If you're on RocketRom, you can full-wipe, no worries...maybe flash Abyss and reboot recovery and wipe with that, just to be ultra-sure.
You should be clear of any damaging kernels.

LE: Did it work...? You're welcome...?
Haha sorry was late yesterday, i didn't do anything went straight to get some sleep ^^'
I really wanted to thank you guys! I'm sorry if you tought i forgot you...
Well i didn't change the rom neither did i wipe anything. Juste went to work this morning so...
I think i am going to change the Rom the battery consumption is to damn high... Was at 100% this morning and i'm already at 30%...
So it worked my Note is saved! I've tried the link in the OP (And your Hope 1 ^^') a second time flashed Abyss kernel, then flashed Rocket Rom.
The flashing took 10minutes so for the people who went through this wait!
And the first boot took 5 minute.
Once again big big thank to Eug3n91 and Gee2012 been around here for long and this has been one of the best response time ever!

That's not an easy brick fix, that's a tutorial on how to use PCO to flash GB with repartition.
In other words, useless.
In the comment section of the website, quite a few people recovered, so not as useless as it seems!

So, you are back up and everything I'm gathering, correct?
And, also, from what I gather in your OP, you flashed/wiped with Franco kernel? It shouldn't cause bricks and I'm glad it ended up not "bricking" your phone because so far I don't think it has bricked anything.
Stay clear of anything stock from now on and I highly recommend sticking to CM9 kernel/ROMs. They are smooth, safe, efficient, etc.

My pleasure! Sorry I got impatient. Was a bit anxious and...well...to be honest...these methods haven't always gone the same for everyone. Glad you were in luck!
Enjoy your Note!
Guess what it worked to recover my note but i tried a Wipe after it died. Once again i flashed abyss kernel and then the abyss kernel just never booted...
So i tried to flash via Odin didn't either... And then it's just dead... I have access to recovery trought pda4 kernel flahed with Odin.
I don't know if i want to re format re partion everything through ADB...
I'm without phone since yesterday... My case seems to be different.
As you said the Franco kernel wasn't supposed to brick my phone but every single move i try to make it seems to kill it...
Had one day without hassle. Worst phone i had.
Edit @Andreww88: i swear it was bricked i wiped everything and installed the Kingdroid Rom never went through. So i just went back to recovery and flashed bac the Stock rom and then nothing. Just nothing Odin, couldn't do anything.
Edit2: So i've done everything again it's working again on paranoid rom! I'm kinda frustrated on CM9 i have no codecs, the lockscreen is not Note-adapted, and the Stylus is of no use...
Edit3: Can anyone help me getting back to a Stock rom without using Odin?
I'm sorry for the double post but can someone tell me if the Odin Mobile will work even if the Odin desktop doesn't work?

Unfortunately, no.
Congrats for unbricking your note
Its like a Motivational story .
I was also softbricked my Note many times. But managed to unbrick always.
Moral of the story....
Our not is hard to brick if we will not give up..
Because
Winners never quit.... quitters never win
I've sent it back to the repair center. After cyanogen worked, i've used Triangle Away to reset flash counter. Flashed a stock rom. It didn't go well as exepted.
When i sent the phone it had no triangle no flash counter and of course no custom rom!
So as chintamanijaipuri (As Indian i found it very hard to write ^^') said never give up!
Use the link in the OP and flash Cyanogen mod trought recovery. Use the recovery of that thread for me it worked well, Abyss kernel on top didn't work for me. Once you boot cyanogen use triangle away, and Flash a stock rom that will brick your Note in good way, (Without Triangle, flash counter, custom recovery) so it will never be your fault!
Good Luck thanks everybody!
I made a few judgement errors while playing with my phone one day (vzn android 4.4 rooted) and ended up getting stuck in a situation where I had to RSD back to stock. I started over, but now I am getting hung up on attempting to root. I am hoping it is just something totally stupid I am missing so I can get it solved and be on my way.
I am currently sitting on a fresh install of 4.2.2 (post camera). I have re-downloaded RockMyMoto and unzipped it. Completely fresh file. Everything is a clean install. On the first time of running it, I get this message:
System is not write protected...
Executing step 3...

I am not sure what is happening or why it is happening, but I am hoping someone else knows.
I've tried wiping data and cache, tried RSDing a couple of times.
This happens both when I am following the tutorial JCase posted and when I am using the moto toolbox.
Thank you in advance.

I used 1.3.4 and was piece of cake.. just follow instructions. I was on 4.4 and clicked root with slap, maybe some peeps here can help you as to where you need to start now since you already began a process

I tried the toolbox. I got the same error. Otherwise, yeah, that toolbox is awesome.
When I rooted my phone the first time, that toolbox hadn't yet been updated, so I did it all manually, but Ive rooted a couple of other phones using his tool. He is an awesome guy for releasing that tool, for sure.

Perfect, glad to hear that got you going! Yes, it's a shame that JCASE has closed his rockmymoto thread so this cannot be posted there, AND xda-developers says I don't have enough 'points' or 'cred' or whatever to post this fix directly to the Developers forum. So here I am, randomly replying to people with this fix I made. Looks like this time, xda-developers got the hero they need, not the hero they want. lol
Anyways, cheers mate, enjoy!

Hello I have just root my phone and uh... and I learned how to flash a custom ROM how to be honest I was having fun. I was flashing cm12 on my Droid Bionic One day when I was in safesrap recovery menu. Keep in mind I have installed kingroot for easiest root method. And safesrap. Keep in mind I have received encryption unsuccessful thing before. And I fixed it. But anyways back to safesrap I was re-flashing Gapps because I didn't see any Google applications. But anyways I was flashing it then I just realized I am flashing two of the same files. Song I just let my phone flash it. When flashing was done however........... My Phone is acting weird it keeps rebooting into stock recovery I tried charging it then it shows me a? A battery indicator with a question mark inside. I'm probably thinking I'm screwed. My phone is pricked.
Keep in mind again I'm a 12 year old with. Autism I know nobody cares. I have to get that out of my mind.
So Any help that would been appreciate it.
Oh yeah one more thing I have not tried AB Fastboot because it might do some more damage.
