Strange problem, please help.

Hello all,
Let me 1st tell you what i did and how.
I tried to install Paranoid Android, But when it was not succeded, Bymistake to solve that stuck problem, i used darkside scripts of super wipe and cache wipe many times, and later i came to know, those were not made for galaxy note.
So flashed STOCK GB again via odin, rooted it, but when i tried to Install custom Anidroid, It got stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 "
So i asked in forums, and one of senier member told me, that " when you installed darkside scripts which was not for Note, IT might had screwed your partitions. May be you need to flash again STock GB with four files like PIT, PDA, CSC and PHONE"
So i need help for
1) How to know if i have really screwed up partitions or not? (Bacause of Darkside Scripts). Beacuse Stock GB still works fine but not custom.
2) If it is, then how to re-partition? as i have only one file for stock GB firmware.
3) If i want STOCK GB firmware? then where will i get Stock firmware'sfour file, including .pit file?
4) I am willing to install Paranoid Android or Anidroid (PA is priority) So what steps i should follow now?
Now my phone is working fine on STock GB, but please help me finiding anwers ofabove quetions.
Thank You.

This is much easier , just flashing the already edited pit file , it has the fix for your partition , but by doing this you will reduce your internal storage capacity , may be by 2 to 3 GB

I would prefer manual way, as i could check 1st if there are any bad blocks or not, coz i am still not sure about it, but i am afraid, because last time i removedthat binary count with traingle away app, but now this tar file will also put that again, and my phone is only 15 days old, so i am afraid of loosing warrenty. Will this definately work? manual method? and can i later just remove that explanation mark and count by same way i did last time? also if i found any damaged blocks then what should i do? that post says if you have warrenty do not repartition, but then what i should tell people at service center so that they can help me without charging money?

Well I am afraid to say that you don't have your warranty right now . If you take your phone yo Samsung service centre in the current condition I.e with the exclamation mark they will simply reject your warranty claim . You can not even say a word to them after that

Sorry, there is also way is given to remove that explanation mark. But one doubt, do this procedure needs rooted phone? coz i dont have rooted phone, its stock GB firmware. and if i insatll this kernal, do i need to again flash my stock gb rom though i do not found any damages?

Wait I don't think you have the brick bug or you have bricked your phone . You can successfully flash gb from via PC Odin right?

N I don't think thus procedure needs a rooted phone . You just have to flash the new kernel via Odin which let's you access the files via adb . And then start editing
. You must have android sdk installed in a proper manner else adb won't work . You must set the environment variable in your computers operating system and see to it that adb recognised your phone. Trust me its not that simple . Its extremely risky, one step wrong your phone is totally dead

Then I don't think you have hard bricked your phone . Cheers . One of the symptoms of hard bricked phone is that you can't flash any from via PC Odin ..it will get stuck at factory fs stage
---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------
I have a very good suggestion, don't mess with the partitions if you are a noob . The best thing I can ask you to do right now is flash a pit file using PC Odin . Select proper pit file depending on whether you have 16gb or 32 gb . I have the pit file for 16 gb if you want. Can attach it . And download checkrom revo HD v6 rom. Its one of the best pre rooted gingerbread rom

Ok, So what to do? Now i am having Stock GB Rom installed, and working fine with 11.00 GBf free internal space, its not even rooted, nor any explanation mark or binary count, so though i am programmer and i know these things , but still should i really go for this procedure? just to install paranoid android? what will be your opinion? or i should send you screenshots of current system and you can guide me for exact procedure to do from right now for paranoid android?

And I personally don't suggest anyone to follow those procedure . You must be brave enough to try those procedure cos it has extreme risk factor . So try flashing new 16gb pit file and try checkrom or if you are happy with the gingerbread rom then let it be . And if you don't have exclamation mark on boot screen and binary flash count set to 0, you can simply hand over your phone to Samsung service center and ask them to upgrade your phone to ics . They will do it for free

which pit file i need to install? that one which will reduce it to 2-3 gb of space or the original pit file for samsung gt N7000 16 gb, also how will i flash pre rooted rom? means 1st pit file via odin and later prerooted rom with cwm? also can you provide me link for prerooted rom and pit file to download?

Try filling your internal memory to full capacity

The edited pit file is only for hard bricked galaxy note . Why do you want to reduce your internal memory size by precious 3 GB ??????
i have attached 16 GB origianl pit file
http://checkrom.com/download/
this is for pre rooted checkrom revo hd , yu need clockworkmod recovery to flash this , you cant flash it via pc odin

If your phone is not rooted yet , then root the stock gingerbread rom , and get the clockworkmod recovery and then flash checkrom

open pc odin , click on pit file and select the pit file extracted from rar , and check repartition and hit flash . I dont know whether it will increase binary counter. The repartition check box should be ticked . And if you are thankful hit thanks button Before rooting

Thanks for your all help. i will start downloading rom now, and tomarow i will flash this new checkrom. hope so later i can use paranoid android.

[Q][Solved] The system and data partitions are corrupt..should i goto service center?

So i found out about the ICS kernels issue a little bit too late :crying:
and now the /system and /data partitions can't be mounted nor formatted...so it's pretty much safe to say they are corrupt.
My question is: do service centers have the tools to completely restore the lost memory ? or should i proceed with searching for some workarounds via odin?
I am out of my warranty but willing to pay if the service center is caoable of completely fixing the issue WITHOUT replacing the motherboard?
Any help is much appreciated.
---
Now after seven days of this post..i have tried a zillion solutions and the one that actually worked is pit file and instructions by forest 1971 on the 15th comment
But sadly i lost 3 Gigabytes of my memory after this

What do you mean you are out of warranty
If your flash counter is increased,you can reset it
And i dont think it can be fixed without motherboard replacement

@OP
question to you: are you still able to work your way to download mode /recovery mode? you say "workarounds with ODIN" <--- just what exactly do you mean by that?

Should do some partition scan to make sure it is partition damage. Given your wipe using ics and the symptoms it is most likely the case of emmc brick. No way to fix it yet. Only two solutions, repartition workaround or change mobo.

Nope i don't think it's the emmc partition because it can be mounted so i don't think it's damaged. Are you sure the service center can't do more than changing the mobo?

I could get to download mode and recovery mode then i tried to repartition using odin -a pit file-but it froze during the flashing process...so i lost access to recovery mode but not download.
workarounds with Odin means repartitioning my internal memory to have another /data & /system instead of the damaged ones

Nope that's not what i mean -my flash counter is still 0- it's just that i bought my phone from another country and the warranty is only valid in that country bu not here...so i am without warranty right now...and it sucks ALOT

try to see first if you can flash one of the files from the link- http://www.xda-developers.com/android/partition-scanner-helps-your-emmc-bricked-devices/ to scan your partition. See to it if you have or don't have one of those damn brick blocks inside your phone.

The term emmc brick just refer to brick cause by the buggy kernel which cause damage to some partition such as system or data or usb storage (that is part of the emmc).
if you can get to recovery then try to use the scanner from hg42 to identify area of damage, as suggested by Cleo. Maybe flash a custom kernel could help to get into recovery again.
Also, it seemed you have used a custom pit file could you give more detail which one you have used?

So i took my phone to service center and they told me the only thing they can di is changing the Mother board.
I took my phone home for further debugging and tried that memory scanner by hg42 only to find that i need the recovery mode to perform that scan
My recovery mode was lost due to an incomplete bootloader flashing
i falshed many kernels and flashed the same bootloader again but nothing seems to work
Any suggestions for good bootloaders? remember my phone is an ICS GT-N7000

If you really think there is a problem with wrong bootloader, then can try to flash the correct one from Dr.Ketan's toolbox below. There are both gb and ics version. I think using gb bootloader is ok.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801341
Then download and flash a kernel in .tar format using PC odin.
For ICS: flash hydracore standard kernel from link below:

For GB: flash 4-pda kernel from this link:

After further reading in similar posts i am starting to think the bootloader isn't the problem....but the problem is i can't think of any other reason. It's definitely not the rom since there is not even a system partition right now and it isn't the kernel because i tried many (speedmod, franco...) and got no response. Any ideas?
Any way, I'll give it a shot using these links..hope it works

Well, the problem wasn't the boot loader after all
Tried all that and didn't work. I still can't access recovery mode on my device.
I tried usb debugging but there seems to be something wrong with the "adb shell" command. Whenever i write it it shoes a black screen on cmd..when i try to write something it's written without '#' or '$' in the beginning and when i press Enter the line i wrote is rewrote again and that's it. What does this mean?
Right now i need any help available to get either recovery mode or adb to work
thanks in advance

It seems you have tried to connect adb while the phone is in download mode, so it will not work. Adb requires the phone in recovery mode, which is still the problem so far.
I would try to flash the original pit file from dr.ketan toolbox, together with one of the above kernel again. see how it goes.

Nope..no effect
I tried it once with <repartition> ticked and another without it being ticked
I think you should know too that when i type "adb devices" the result is : "<big number> recovery". I don't know if this means i have recovery or it's just nonsense.

in that case try to type in CMD:
Code:

see if it has any effect (to reboot phone in recovery).

If it does nothing, then I would now try to flash the custom pit from hg42 in the file attached (unzip it first to get .pit file), together with a suitable stock rom from dr.ketan thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997) and repartition box checked.
This PIT will leave the former system and data partition unused. after flash, try to get into recovery and wipe and try to boot normally. see how it goes.
Note: to make sure to avoid unsafe ICS kernel, should always use gb rom for reviving the phone and only upgrade to ics when it is working.

It Worked!!! It f***ing Worked !!
Now my phone is back to business...but it lost 3 Gigabytes of memory right now
Thanks a billion for your patience forest1971
So is there anything not allowed after this solution? like rerooting, flashing via odin, flashing via cwm or downgrading to Android 2.3?
and btw just to understand more...why did you specifically give me this pit file? this is from hg42's collection, right? there are a lot of files in this collection and one should be chosen based on the result of the memory scanners, right? How did you know that's the one for me?

The best way is using PC odin to flash pre-rooted gb rom from dr.ketan:
http://d-h.st/HJM
Or you can flash other stock gb rom which is suitable for your country from Dr ketan' thread as well (post 2)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Using gb rom with a custom kernel such as FM or Abyssnote seem to work well, smooth and no problem. Or you can use some custom gb rom such as rocket v22 or other gb custom rom from link below:

[Q] HELP! bircked note

hello everyone
my friend bricked his note and i don't know what to do for him, my friend has no exper experience, he did a restore on a nonsafe kernel
his phone is semi bricked (if not fully bricked), i tried using odin to flash a stock rom (gb then ics) but had no luck and proccess stops at "NAND write start", i tried only to flash a kernel which was abyssnote but also got stuck on "NAND write start" and i tried to use the pit file from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886) with a stock rom and with re-partition checked on odin and now it is stuck on:
<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
please help me as the phone has been stuck on this state (pit file way) for over 80 minutes
waiting for your answer...

i unpluged my phone now and i am trying a custom pit file (N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914--patched--brick-between-281-and-3770-MB--FACTORYFS-moved-by-3328-MiB.pit) after leaving my phone for up to 2 hours and with no progress using N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914-stock.pit
file, hope i can revive my friend phone and please try to point me for any solution i can try.

Check your connection. Usually if bricked the process will start ok but halt at factory.fs. Try with a different usb cable, make sure it's in a mobo usb port not front one.
Pit files should be a last resort. I don't think it's bricked personally. Does it power on at all?

If you can also get into recovery, then better try to use hg42 partition scanner first, to see if and where the damage is in the emmc.

If that long, then that pit doesn't seem to work.
I would try to flash a custom kernel such as hydracore or some other kernel that are available in .tar format. Then see if it help the phone get into recovery.
If that does not work, then just need to try other pit file from hg42 thread which move factoryfs by bigger number until it work. This is not a good strategy but it seems to be the only way.

i got stuck on NAND write start agine, i think its time to try your other strategy, should i go with pit file that has factoryfs moved by the largest number first or the one with the less number?

I would try the first way of flash a kernel since it does not take much time.
Anyway, if want to try second strategy should move up by 500 mb or 1 gb each time.
I saw some people reported problem after flashing a pit with big number them move back to flash a pit with small number so should try to avoid that situattion.
The next pit I would choose it the one move fatoryfs by 4608mib for example.

thank you for your replies, i will try to try them as you mentioned above and by the way and will wait 15-20 minutes in each operation, i already tried the last version of hydracore but had no success, one last thing, if none of them worked (hope not), is there any other possible way to revive from the brick(other than replacing the motherboard or replacing the phone from samsung)?

bricked or not
same problem here, was on stock ics rooted for quite sometime, today decided to flash alliance rom v2.1, booted to cwm recovery, did a full wipe and after that i just hated myself. phone didnt boot into recovery and odin gets stucked at factoryfs, tried to flash with pit file too but no result same stuck in problem. then i flashed different kernel fm note kernel through odin which was a success, got my recovery back but unfortunately the only rom i have on internal sd was alliance rom which doesnt install, either says emmc error alliance rom or stucks at extracting system. so again flashed abyss kernel and did a full wipe again but odin still does not go beyond factory fs and i am trying to flash ics rom again. any idea what i should do now as i can flash a kernel and go into recovery. help will be appreciated. meanwhile downloading gb rom to check as i read in other posts it works tough not sure.

it is good as far as you can access cwm recovery, try to get any external sd, download a rom and put it on the external sd using other phone
and flash it using cwm and dont forget your safe kernel , and can you tell me please what kernel you've used?

Once get recovery it is best to try to scan partition to identify where the damage is. You can you adb method in my manual repartition guide or the scanner from hg42 which is even better.

Should try the kernel I sent and also the fm kernel suggested in the post above. Once having recovery it is much easier and there are more options. Otherwise, custom pit is the last resort before mobo replacement.

Hi there, sounds like a bad flash or bad download. Firstly remove your external micro SD card and connect it to a PC / Laptop (standard SD adaptor or Card Reader). Download a "default" ROM and kernel and KEEP them on the card (you never know when you need to go back to them). I use Abyss 4.2 kernel and Chrack ROM personally. I always have the jBroid Kernel Cleaner saved also). Replace the micro SD card.
If you can get into Recovery, flash the jBroid script cleaner. Now flash Abyss 4.2 kernel (GB safe kernel) and reboot into Recovery again. Now flash Chrack Rom. I've had a number of bad flashes and these 3 zips have always pulled me out a hole.
Hope this helps. Hit Thanks if it did.

i've already mentioned that it has no recovery mode, and yes, i always have abyssnote kernel in my ex-sd also in my friend's phone, the thing is that he don't know about the emmc bug and he did a restore on a none safe kernel and thats how he bricked his phone
what i've done so far is trying the pit file way but had no luck, now the thing is that the binary counter is 5 and i can't go to have a m/b replacement for free as the warranty is voided, is there any way to reset the counter or to hardbrick the phone except for the jig method?

Softbrick and can't flash.

I tried tot installatie sweetrom 2.5 but it stops at flashing the modem. I also can't restore my stock because that stops at checking the md5 sum. Im running philzkernel with the stock 4.0.4. Van anyone help? Does Odin work? What should I flash?

Wipe data cache system preload
Make sure you actually are on philz safe kernel
Reinstall a ROM.
You may have to download one to your computer and transfer to phone to flash.
If you want stock use PC odin

Still have access to recovery mode?
then go to mounts and storage
format /system, data, cache, preload .. then Install zip.> rom

I thought I just said that.

Thank you but nothing worked. In Odin it hangs on factoryfs.img. I had a .pit file and re partition checked but it still hangs on factoryfs.img. Does anyone know how to solve this nasty soft brick?

Check usb debugging on also unknown source is checked. (sorry you Can't do this now, should have done earlier)
Download a different stable custom rom to your computer and verify the md5 checksum. Transfer this your external sd card using preferably another note only. If could enter Philz cwm do all wipes and formats and select flash new rom option, if available, and flash your new rom.
Edit : since you said you were on stock ics, don't know whether you can do formats and wipes, check with experts.
Edit 2: keep your battery fully charged, till your phone becomes normal.

So long as he is on philz formats are fine. Otherwise you should do exactly as above poster says. Once you get q custom ROM installed..you can use mobile Odin to go back to stock if you wish

I marked the passage with relevance here in big fat red: it means you bricked your device. Nothing soft here, this is the ugly version.
Two options:
- Samsung Service Center and repair by replacing the Mainboard
- hg42's thread and use the workaround with repartition, you'll loose some GB but can use your device again.
And: if not absolutely necessary and if not having an exactly analyzed reason for it (hardbrick workaround is one reason):
Do not check partition and do not use a pit file in Odin to repartition

Thanks but the problem is that I don't have a recovery anymore. Will it work if I try to flash the stock firmware via odin on a different computer?

ThaiDai's comments may be right... but are a little premature.
Go to DR. Ketans thread and download the prerooted gingerbread rom. Go to download mode (home + volume-down + power) and try to flash it via PC Odin. Report back.
If same error we should move on to the pit method to attempt to repair your partitions. Report back after attempting the prerooted GB ROM.. I will be checking the thread.

I flashed something with Odin (I thought it was the hydracore kernel. It was named: GL_NOTECORE_HYDRACORE_v4-3b_STD.tar) it can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626 but now I can acces the recovery again. I could install a safe kernel (Abysskernel) and do the wipes and install a ROM. But the flashing with Odin gave me the yellow triangle so I don't have warranty anymore and it hangs on the boot screen where it shows: Samsung Galaxy Note N-7000 and the yellow triangle. Is there a way to install a custom ROM now or do I still need to flash the stock rooted gb via Odin?

OK here is the deal.
Do NOT use abyss. You are already on Hydra core it is 100% safe...there was actually a previous thread on whether abyss may cause some issues...no need use Hydra core.
in Hydra core cwm recovery...
Boot into recovery...transfer the custom ROM from computer to SD card...
Wipe /data dalvik /cache /system /preload.
Flash a custom ROM you want with a zip file.
Install gaaps if necessary for that rom
Boot to system. Move on with life.
If the flashing fails and you have issues...it may be like thaidai said where pit method may be required.

By The way...to remove the yellow triangle search xda for chain fire thread foe triangle away.
But don't worry about that until your system is up and running
you got a triangle because you flashed something custom (non signed) in Odin.
had you flashed philz you would have been time...but its done and over so move on and use triangle away once you are able to get into a working rom

I Don't know how to help, but i've got problem with my NOTE as well, and started a thread.
May be one of my step would help you...
I've got a working note right now but not stable, random reboot still occurs... but at least it is useable.
Mind with the apps you installed, try to install one by one and check on the effect... example in my case "facebook" is bad for me, no facebook for me. Chrome also bad for me...
As long you got working safe kernell, than you can install ROM, just have to do trial and error in finding the best thing for your NOTE...

Thanks guys but it stuck at the data wipe and now I can't flash because it won't do a data wipe.

BTW: u should have a earlier backup of your EFS system on your sdcard. efs.img. if not do that first otherwise you cant use your phone as phone again but only as PDA. please google how to backup EFS via ADB or via recovery (if not damaged)

Help me, my galaxy note N7000 died...(Formware upgrade ancountered an issue.)

Hello everybody.
I have a problem in my gt-N7000.
I tried to install the CM10, install normal.
I installed Gapps also normal.
When I went to wipe it crashed.
Now no more enters recovery mode, download mode only.
When I turn it only gets in this mensage:
"Formware upgrade ancountered an issue. Pease select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I've tried to pass other Stock Roms via Odim, but always hangs Odim.
I do not know what else to do, will my phone still has solution?

And have you tried that recovery mode in Kies?

I do not know if I can answer all your questions ... I did not root the phone.

1. I don't know what you mean by this.? The was was not rooted or some one else rooted it for you?
2. The place where odin is stuck could indicate a brick. So you need to be precise in the info you give.
3. Did you use cwm.zip to install the rom directly on a non rooted phone?

If ODIN is working for you,
Get your mobile flashed with Philz Kernel by putting the TAR file on PDA.
Enter Philz Kernel in recovery and flash a ROM of your choice.
If you can't then u r a superbrick.

Sorry for my english, I'm using google translation.
I was using the official version 4.0.3, so I entered the reovery and installed CWM and the file to the Root. Shortly thereafter, without restarting the phone installed the CM10 and then the gapps. When I do the Wipe the phone crashed.
Since then, officials have spent several Roms by Odin and all lock.
I do not know if I was very clear on the information, but now the phone is locked it sansumg logo. And when he enters recovery does not wipe, lock and resets the device.
Again, sorry for my english.

So you have flashed cwm.zip and the the root file and then on the same temp recovery, wiped.? That is serious mistake and it seems a brick.
