its was on Stock ICS , flashed note at&t custom rom hybrid
unable to flash wipe rom.... odin stuck at data.img
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.
I advise u stop flashing stuff when you clearly don't know what your doing.

It is not a good sign. Looks like a case of superbrick to me due to emmc bug. Probably will need repartition with custom pit or adb.

+1, you're bricked. Either repartition or claim replacement motherboard.

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

Which ics rom were you on originally before you tried flashing to which ics rom? Did you perform any wipes while on ics? Does sound like you have a good understanding of emmc bug and partitioning so forgive me if this all seems mundane.

Download emmc app from market and perform a memory test... Get a rooted gb rom as it needs root access.. And skip all kinds of setup at startup once you flash the gb(rooted) rom

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.
I pledge for a solution.

Hi!
So i figured i wanted to get of the faulty ics leak in order to keep my phone safe, but it seems I was able to do the exact oppsite...
I will try to make a detailed overview of what I did, here we go.
I was using Stunner on CLP5. Followed this guide to do the downgrade:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3DDEh8vyc&list=UUlVIlK8QHZ2PFkXF97bA0lg&index=5&feature=plcp
What i did:
Flashed the Abyss kernel - rebooted
Wiped with the new recovery
Flashed rocketrom
Got stuck on bootloop. (I should've probably done another wipe here, am i right? )
After flashing Rocketrom, I once again got a new recovery, I figured I was on a safe kernel and recovery now so instead of trying wiping or a different rom, I was stupid enough to do a restore of a backup of a stock rom with root I had from December when i bought the phone.
This made everything even worse, my battery drained and I was unable to charge my phone through USB or 220v. Luckily I got my friend to charge my battery (same phone)
Booting up my phone agian, I was no longer able to acess recovery, but I still had acess to Download mode.
I flashed a stock GB rom successfully through PC Odin, and yet AGIAN I was stuck at bootloop. The file I flashed was a single .tar file. I didn't select update bootloader, should i try this? maybe re-ptartitioning?
I still have acess to download mode.
Has anyone got a clue how to fix this mess?
Thanks for all replies!

Please, pit partitioning seems to get thrown out there like smarties but imo should only ever be used as a very last resort as a lot can go wrong.
Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik? Sorts out reboots 99 percent of the time.

Guys I really need your help.
After "succesful" flashing the official German ICS 4.04 ROM with PC odin I can't start up my Note again. It hangs at the bootscreen.
I can still get into downloadmode, can flash all the ROMS with PC Odin succesfull but after booting it gets stuck at the bootscreen.
I can also still go to recovery, wipe data and cache but after rebooting it always stuck on the bootscreen.
If I go to recovery I see the errormessage:
E: failed to mount data <invalid argument>
E: copy_log_files_to_data : : can't mount /data
In recovery i can still root my phone and flash Abyss kernel. Also with the Abyss kernel i can flash al ROMS succesfully but they all stuck at the bootscreen when i reboot.
Does somebody know how to fix this problem?

You are not supposed to do wipes running stock ICS kernels. GB kernels such as abyss are the only safe ones (to avoid the Emmc hardbrick bug)....If I were u I would try to flash a stock firmware with odin.
If you get stuck and nand write or factorys.img then u are bricked....:crying:

It seems you became victim of brick bug.
And yiu have error on data partition rather than system rom.partition so u cud flash successfully non wipe ROM, but if you try flashing wipe ROM then it won't compete. So.if your device is under warranty then send it to service centre. Confirm you have flash countwr zero to.reclaim warranty.

Just use Overcome guide to load Gingerbread ROM
Go to overcome site
Http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.
the package include a T-mobile modem to choose
it will let you have 3G in T-mobile network but no voice call.
If you use the JPZ modem that is also included, you can get voice call but EDGE speed for internet.
thank you will do that and report back
i tried to reload per the instruction, it ran for about 3 minutes near the end it "FAILED"
Hmm no idea.
Hope it is not a locked bootloader.
Can you try it again?
You are using Odin 1.7 that is included in the gb stock safe, right?

I accepted the OTA update after reboot the phone never turn back on .
Could it be that the fw im trying to update is older then the OTA caused it to fail ?
I doubt the version matters, I am wondering if it is caused by broken NAND chip.
I have never encountered this before.
Let's have some crazy idea.
I am thinking of flashing cm9 or aokp mtd rom on it.
I myself am using Stimpz0r AOKP build 40.
Can you download it and put in external SD card,
And also the gapps-ics.
Just get it ready.
While for the tab, flash overcome kernel 4.0 tar as per the guide, as if it was a successful restock.
Once the kernel is flashed, force it power off.
Then try to boot to recovery.
If that works, try flash the ICS rom and see if it works.
You need to flash it twice, as first one converts to mtd.
Second flash will install.
Hopefully it boots.

I flashed the kernel now it able to boot to the galaxy tab then the android animate but it in a boot loop at the android. I can't go to recovery, that's Vol Up + Power correct ?
i was able to install CM9 but getting "Encryption Unsuccessful" error after boot
I tried to wipe data/factory reset and got the following error:
format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
probably bad block where this partion is located that why it failed when tried to flash Overcome rom.
there is a tool to relocate this partion to a different block and hopefully it work? do you know such tool ?
I have never come across such tool.
There is a thread that discuss about bad internal sdcard, and using external SD instead.
By you have to open up the tab and desolder the NAND chip.

Hello,
Recently, I've tried to flash my phone with CM11 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587481 ), but it got into a bootloop, showing the CM logo with the circling arrow. So, I tried flashing another ROM, still bootloops. Stock ROM, bootloops.
I tried to reformat everything, but formatting in /data and formatting in /sdext comes up with an error:
Code:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/stl13
Error formatting /data!
Code:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Error formatting /sd-ext!
The Dalvik cache won't wipe either, trying to wipe it the screen just flashes slightly and the menu pops back up without a message, implying the Dalvik cache just doesn't exist anymore, I think.
I've googled this situation, browsed the forums for a while, but no one seems to have had this problem, at least no one I know of. There was someone on a HTC One, who claimed that it might've corrupted his partitions and that he had to fix it with ADB. I have no idea how ADB works.
Another option that pops up everywhere without explanation is "Use Odin to flash stock ROM" . I tried that, but Odin doesn't detect my phone, and windows gives an error that the device is unrecognized.
Does anyone have any idea what to do? I am at a loss here. The things I've tried, summarized:
I tried flashing several other ROMs, including stock.
I tried reformatting /data and /sdext, which both gave errors.
I tried reformatting the dalvik cache, but it didn't do so, without giving any message.
I tried flashing stock with Odin, but couldn't, since Odin didn't detect my phone.
I flashed CWM again, without success.
I tried searching for similar problems, but no one seems to have them.

That's the whole thing. Wiping data doesn't work, and flashing any other rom keeps the bootloop there.

Version is 5.0.2.6.
Reflashing CWM and installing CM10 was the first thing I tried, I'll do it again right now to see if it makes any difference.
Update: After a really glitchy screen popup and the screen turning a bright lightblue color, I got stuck in the CM9 boot animation.

Yeah, I flashed CM11 using CWM 5. I'll see if it can detect my phone after I installed Kies. I tried installing standalone USB drivers first, but it didn't give any installation window. I'll try Odin again after that, and I'll give you word when I did it.
UPDATE: Odin now doesn't detect my phone at all anymore. Can't flash stock rom via Odin. I'll try my laptop now.
You cannot flash cm11 using cwm5, you need cwm6 to flash it(is it maclaw cm11)...grab a pc running windows 7, install kies, get odin 4.38 and cooper.ops files and your conutry's stock rom, goto download mode, flash it..follow a sticky thread in your ace section...even if it doesn't detect your phone, try opening odin with administrative permissions....even after this doesn't help check your cable, might be a faulty one....last option- goto samsung service center

I think our stories are crossing each other a bit here.
At first I tried to flash CM11 with CWM5, which caused the bootlooping to happen. After that, I could not format /data, /sd-ext or the dalvik cache. Now, I cannot flash ANYTHING without entering a bootloop, and Odin does not recognize my phone at all. Tried three cables, another additional computer running 7, it just won't show up. Gave a call to service center, said they won't be able to help me, since it's been over three years since I bought it, which sounded a bit weird.
