I've searched all threads and even threads from different phone models.
Here's the problem, after upgrading my N7000 to ICS stunner, I decided it wasn't for me, so I downloaded LA6 (my official stock firmware), and now every time I try to run it through PC Odin, I get stuck at factoryfs.img.
I have tried wiping everything; data, cache partition, delvic, system etc before flashing it but the problem persists.
I have even tried ticking partition and then putting a PIT file in the PIT section i downloaded off of a certain website, but no luck.
I have also tried downloading different stock roms with anti-virus turned off, as dr. ketan had suggested in one of the other threads i searched before making this one, but no luck again.
I have also tried using the back USB port of the computer and even different computers but same problem.
Is there anything I can do at this point or is the phone totally bricked?
PLEASE HELP thanks!
NOTE: I am able to get into download mode and CWM recovery mode just fine. I wasn't able to get into recovery mode before but after I flashed an FM kernel, I can get into CWM recovery mode.
To revert ics to gb, you must first flash abyss kernel 3.9 in cwm~>reboot recovery ~>wipe data factory reset ~>wipe cache and Dav cache ~> install gb rom zip or restore gb backup

That doesn't work. I flashed the abyss kernel, then wiped everything like you said, and then using PC Odin, tried to flash stock firmware but it's still stuck at factoryfs.img.
You shouldn't have formatted /system from cwm recovery.
In all probabilities, you damaged your hardware.
Sorry!

Of course.
But this kernel is not for Note. So /system partition definitions are different.

No i did not wipe system before flashing absyss kernel.
Sorry I am not getting what exactly you did.
If you formatted /system using LP1 or LP5 kernel then you are in trouble.
Otherwise, you might not be. But from what you are facing and from my experience, I think you might have a damaged flash drive.

I did system wipe before I flashed absyss kernel. After flashing it, i wiped everything but system.
Btw, since you're in india I want to ask, can I bring this phone with me on my trip to india and take it into samsung store and would they replace it or fix it? The phone is EURO model and it has the same style prongs found in Indian phones (rounded), but I bought it from an international ebay seller. You think they would touch it at all?

I do not think Samsung has international warranty, yet.
The official repair costs would not be more than INR 10K. If the you could talk your way through they will give discounts up to 70%.
Again, this differs from city to city and from service center to service center.

After flashing the kernel, you should flasha custom rom through cwm like rocketrom or checkrom but NEVER stock rom. You can also restore from backup

Try clearing cache,dalvik cache and finally do a factory reset and see if it is gone.It may be caused by the leftovers in /data partition.It must probably resolve your problem.My advice is (thought ketan said it to me first) after flashing any rom its better to do a factory reset and clear cache.You can do it in recovery
I solved it just after posting this by factory reset, thanks anyway. I knew about cache, i did wipe, but i didn't thought of factory reset (and still don't understand that well).

Factory reset wipes /data partition which contains the apps and its data downloaded from market/internet.It also wipes your settings data and restore every thing to factory default.Just explained this because you said still don't understand that well.Good to hear you solved your issue on your own
Yes, thanks. If i don't want to keep my mobile and return it for refund (i still have few days) and if flash with the firmware it came with it, modified kernel i installed will be replaced by original (it's in the firmware) and so they'll accept it as return, right?
Yes. Just flash your stock Rom via PC Odin, and everything will be back the way it was when you purchased your phone.
Why ODIN desktop and not mobile? Without everoot, cwm and else... Of course!
If u flash any stock ROM via Mobile Odin or CWM, The CWM Recovery will not be flashed and it remains as it is. So you have to flash using PC Odin to get Stock recovery too.

That's exactly why i talked about using mobile instead. But apparently won't flash cwm, can't do it in any way with mobile version? Last thing: As of now, i tried only stock roms. Can i try custom (ICS of course..) installing it by ODIN MOBILE and not wiping (it's just for test), then flash stock later, everything will still be back in its place like original, they won't know i used custom rom, right?

Yes certainly you can try custom roms bruh!! However all the ICS Roms demand everyday high maintenance so IMO installing a GB rom will be a sane option as if now, even if you just want to test that....
If u want a suggestion then go with rocket rom gb v22 my personal favorite however all the other gb roms are stable and can ne used on daily basis.
Peace

This can be achieved easily!! You have to Install Chainfire's Repack via Mobile Odin then install "Triangle Away" App to remove yellow Triangle on Start up. Then flash again the stock firmware using PC Odin.
It is confirmed work!!
This was just an skeletal overview for indepth steps please refer to the corresponding threads!!

Thanks for the answer, i already have Odin Mobile and always flashed with it, so no triangle. Chainfire repack, i should install that only if i wanna try ICS, right?

Flashing stock kernal doesnt give triangle in any way.I would suggest you not to use ICS leak rom as many suffered from not able to go back to stock after that.As of now I know only 1 developer has recovered his note after struggling for nearly 10 hours.So stay away from it.I dont know about other ICS roms.But its better to stay with GB now.
if you are planning to return it, then do not try ICS. the leak is not for Note and this caused many users (of Note and Epic 4 touch) issues like a fried flash drive. All the GB custom ROMs are pretty much stable.
I'm about to start. I have "Odin3 v1.85" that's the right one? I already have the KKA firmware md5 file, i put it in phone or pda? What should i put in CSC & other case? And where do i get the right files?

Well, what happened?
I am stuck on the boot screen as well.
Did you performed Full Wipe on ICS Stock Rom ? If so then its unfortunate to say your note might be bricked.

Hi guys,
I normally try and work this stuff out for myself (as you can tell by my join date and my post count) but this has me stumped..
I was attempting to change ICS rome and somewhere in the process something went wrong...
After many unsuccessful attempts of flashing, stock ICS & GB, Abyss.. I checked the partions for errors and found the actual size of p-10 was different than the reported size by 1kb.
So, tried the e2fsck fix- it reported that it had corrected some errors.. I tried flashing again and agin- no success.
I then deleted the partitions, recreated them and reformatted in CWM. ADB reports no errors on any partition. When I try to load an ICS rom, it installs then hangs when it gets to the screen where you select the language.
I can successfully install a GB rom, but after a couple of minutes I start getting errors- then the affected app closes.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I was on N7000XXLRB, Kernel Version 3.0.15-N7000XXLRG, and Build number IMM76D.XXLRG. Tried to go to AlBa rom, flashed Abyss, wiped cache/data in the CWM recovery and flashed the rom in CWM recovery...
I can successfully flash a stock GB rom with PC Odin, but it hangs on the boot screen( so I can't install dmmc test).
I have tried everything I can think of, just waiting on a jig to come in the mail so I can reset my counter for warranty
If you find a solution please post it.
I think i have the same problem. I posted it in general ( can anybody move it over here? I think this was wrong. Sorry i panicked. )
It's called permantly rebooting after flashing cm9.

On what firmware was your note before update (e.g. 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 4.0.3, etc) and how long did you wait? Try rebooting first either with battery pull or without.
Just flash any GB ROM (Find it on first link on my signature, post #2)

i realize i flash the wrong CWM which might have resulted in the problem. when i booted the phone into recovery mode and tried to re flash the right one, there is still no change. sorry for the question, but when i flash hydracore with pc odin, i place the file in PDA box?
yes pda box. if cwm has a problem then flashing with it may cause bigger problems so using pc odin is much safer i think.
sometimes kernel mite not be able to override the installed recovery image.. if that then install the rom again using pc odin.

Hi, i have just flash it. however it now refuse to start up. its has this triangle ! sign appearing when i start the phone.
boot into recovery and do a factory reset. yes the yellow triangle will be there as u flashed a custom. kernel from odin.
you can remove that with triangle away app by chainfire. by refuse to start up you mean you cant enter download mode? i hope trying to flash something with wrong cwm didnt make any harm. if you can enter cwm menu you can try wipeing to factory reset cache and dalvik cache. if no cwm but download mode flashing a stock gb may help.

and if it ll lost than any way to save it or recover it/ ? i had extremely precious data in it. but being careless i didnt backed my personal data in my laptop.. please help me guys.. ready to pay any cost for my data

Flashing stock firmware with Odin will not delete your data from SD card. You will probably need to do factory reset, it will delete your contacts, sms, apps... But stuff from internal and external sd will remain there.
You bricked it because 4.4.2 uses preload partition for a swap, and it is partitioned in different way. And on PA 3.69 is probably different.
Or ROM zip of PA was corrupted.
thankyou and one more question

I did not use that version that you used. I think that you will not have a problem when you install it over stock, I explained you why you had problem when you did it over CM11.

You can't brick phone with clearing cache. Did you wipe system partition? Try to install same ROM that you had (if you had).
Give us a screenshot of Odin fail. What exactly happen. And what is the full name of md5 that you put in pda of Odin. Try different version of Odin too.

Go back to recovery, and if you have ROMs zip install it again.
Ofcourse you shouldn't wipe system partition, system files are there...
And if you can't install ROM again, what error do you get in Odin?

I didn't think twice before wiping it. My bad.
Anyways, That's the issue. I can't go to recovery. Phone only shows the odin mode (if i press VOL. DOWN+HOME+POWER).
Odin simply says FAILS.

Well then you did not just wipe system, you installed some GB based ROM over?
You have log window in Odin, where it fails? Try to redownlaod firmware again, and then install again.
What version of Odin do you use? Try 3.x.

Odin Version - 3.07
I'm not sure it s GB based ROM and neither if it's JB. Can you take some more pain 'n send me a proper link ? please.
My older custom ROM is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244441 - http://d-h.st/vge

But it should be the same:

http://rapidgator.net/file/0a25225062db04ba2c8216cca12972d2
Check the file zize of zip when you download it, it should be 425MB.

ROM is fine. And you was on GB or JB before? If you was on GB then this problem you got is normal. You must be on JB (flash JB firmware) if you install JB ROM.
And again, if you get FAIL on Odin DO A SCREENSHOT AND POST IT HERE. To see what cause that fail. Left part of this screenshot is a log http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gkWcapOu2...gingerbread+s5570jpq8+samsung+galaxy+Mini.jpg
Blue, where it says Message.
This is for other phone, do not pay attention on that, I just told you what I need to see.

And no, you must install Firmware not, not ROM. Because you probably installed JB ROM over GB. That is why you do not have working recovery.
Finally unbricked !!!
