Hey, i made a BIG MISTAKE...
I flashed a stock kernel on a custom ROM (with sgs kernel flasher) but forgot to UNCHECK the reboot button.
now my sgs got stuck at boot.
3button combo won't work and kies isn't installed on this PC..
PLEASE HELP WITHIN 1-2 HOURS!
the only thing what works is the 2e recovery (auto boot into when it got stuck at sgs logo twice)

Have you tried pulling out the battery and then putting it back in, and then trying to get into recovery?

pull the battery out and insert then try to go download mode again if it doesn't work you have to use JIG for enter to download mode.

can you install the earlier kernel through 2e recovery?

should i give my phone into repair?

Maybe you should:
1) use a less useless thread subject, a sensible subjects gets you help faster
2) avoid caps and demanding a 1-2 hour solution (unprofessional)
3) respect what's said in the capital letter line in your own signature
4) don't panic! Since recovery mode is still working you should be able to save your phone.
If nothing works, a Jig might help you (see #3 in this posting). If even that doesn't help, you can still send it in for repair after all.
5) general hint: get 3 button combo mode working first before flashing, it's said all over the forums. As a noob, I respected that, got myself a JIG prior and was able to save my phone after a soft brick.

i know, but the problem is it's not actually my phone... it's a friends phone
and he wants it back in 2 hours
i told him now he should go to get it into repair and if it costs something i have to pay...
or should i try hamsterbread? it has a ROM and a Kernel in one update.zip?
so how do i get back to stock 2.1 ROM + stock Kernel then?

I am not very familiar with recovery mode (never had to use it to save my phone so far), but afaik you can still flash that way somehow.
Anyways: take your time to not make additional mistakes, if you can save the phone your friend will surely stay your friend, and try what people suggested or will suggest here (change subject title to gain more help faster).
As said, you can still send it in for repair after all but why not try something first with recovery mode? There's not much to lose now anyway.
Do not panic, take a deep breath, ignore the clock! Your friend would be more pissed if you had to send it in (which can take weeks or months)! I wouldn't see why you want to do that as long as either download or recovery mode is still operational. So go change the subject, remove the 1-2 hour demand sentence and I'm sure you will get help!
Btw a jig is some USB dongle or cable you can plug into the phone to activate download mode. Costs just a few euro. Available on ebay as well as self made: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551

So can you get into download mode?
Preferably, you need a 3 file 2.1 stock firmware you can flash with Odin3 using a 512 pit and re-partition.
I have a 3 file stock 2.1 firmware for Australia if you want it. It will at least get you stable, then you can flash anything you want after that.

THX 2 ALL FOR YOUR HELP
i love you guys

Just try this before you panic.
Pull the battery. Hold the power button for 10 seconds. Put the battery back in.
Hold the download mode sequence until it forces itself into download mode. Sometimes it can take a minute. Just keep holding it.

repair?

Order a jig from Ebay and try to get it express posted. Will be alot quicker than a repair center. Then you have one in case you get into trouble again.

There's a strong chance they will send it right back un-repaired because there's a custom rom on it.

Woke up this morning, my Note was dead...

Hi there,
I had no problem with my Note until this morning when I woke up.
My Note was turned off, I tried to turn it on, impossible.
I plugged the usb wire and I saw the battery logo and it was fully drained.
It's weird because I usually hold 2 days with my phone and yesterday, before sleeping, the battery was almost full.
More than that, I use Green Power, so all the connectivity services shut down during the night, there's almost no battery consumption.
So, I tried to turn it on, many times, impossible... it's stuck at the blinking Samsung logo.
I use the LQ2 rom with the Franco's kernel R5.
I've also tried to wipe cache & Dalvik's cache in recovery, but that doesn't change anything.
I'm beginning to be a bit worried because I've red some post on the forum saying that the Note's CPU can burn...
Please help ! Thanks !

are you overclocked? but even if you are, if the device goes into deepsleep, it can't burn...
i wonder what really happened..

How long have you had Franco 5 running on it?
I got stuck at flashing logo when I tried to upgrade from Rocket ROM 3 to 4.1. Ended up having to do factory reset. Now on RR4.1 with CF kernel. Hoping it stays stable.
So if all else fails do the factory reset as per ROM instructions and hope that gets you through.

I don't overclock the device, I try to run it as simple as possible, as long as I have Gmail, I'm happy.
I don't know what happened... I was running Franco's R5 since the day he released it, without any single problem !
I'm now on a Windows, I'll try to run Odin and flash it.

Yes, no idea what appened.
But the best is to flash a wipe stock Rom from Odin PC.

How to check if my cpu is not burned ?

I flashed a new rom with Odin, the phone doesn't boot anymore...
The file I flashed: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/159007364/ad4ff19/N7000XXLQ2_N7000OXELP6_SER.zip.html
What can I do more ?

I hope your PBA is not cooked like mine. I was on franco's kernel too before I could revert back to safety, it was dead. Are you able to get in download mode? When flashing or wiping, do you get errors on datafs or factoryfs?

If you have warranty, Samsung service center

First of all the CPU is fine, since you see the Recovery screen.
From Recovery flash Abyss 4.2, reboot Recovery (from Advances).
Wipe user data, Cash and Dalvik Cash,
Flash any ROM.
I had a very similar problem. Resolved by reverting to Franco R4.
Good luck!

When I do that, before flashing the latest rom, I was going into recovery.
Now that I flashed it, I land into a "Android system recovery (3e)".
It's a blue menu like the CWM Recovery but with less options.
I suppose that this is the default recovery system bundled by Samsung...

Now that I flashed the original rom, I lost root, how can I do that ?

When I first got my TMobile Galaxy S2, the first day it died completely while I was sleeping. I tried turning it on and I would feel the vibration of the phone trying to turn on but it wouldn't. I figured the battery had drained so I plugged it in the charger, but the phone wouldn't stay off and charge, it would try turning on over and over. It went into a crazy bootloop. It was my first time with the phone so I thought it went crazy and called samsung.
Eventually the phone got enough of a charge to power on completely without shutting down. I eventually realized that if my phone died completely, what I had to do was use my Car Charger, which didn't turn my phone on and showed me the little battery indicator showing it was charging.
I don't know if this is similar to what you experienced but hope it helps.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

a similar thing happened to me earlier,
I would advise you not to have wiped anything whilst on ICS even with franco kernel.
If you can go to download mode, do so then using pc odin flash a stock rooted GB rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
then flash cwm recovery. following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
then wipe data, cache and everything else.
you should be back to GB then flash whatever rom you want, I would advise you to flash paranoidandroid which is superb.
the only difference I had with you, is that i did not wipe data or cache whilst on ICS so this may not work for you as you have done that.
But this method worked for me.

Ok, I'll try to flash the GB rom, and I'll be back to get you update of the situation...
I think I'll be back on HTC soon... I don't understand why the phone reacted like that...

try holding vol down+home+power button and see if you can still go into download mode.
if yes, then download stock gingerbread and flash it through PC odin (link can be found in Dr. Ketan's thread)
don't try to do things too fast else you'll end up doing something wrong again, have patience.
if this doesn't work, others im sure will post more help.

I think you have hard bricked ur phone.. this link explains about the eMMC brick bug http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633938
If your phone is under warranty, you can try claiming warranty from Samsung..

your recovery, was is clockworkmod or android 3e?
How much was the battery before flashing the rom.?

battery was 57% and it was clockworkmod

This is why it makes sense to go through the forum, ask about and carefully read instructions before you do anything you are unsure of. Flashing a custom rom without root from stock ICS. That's the worst scenario I've seen. In any case, seems like you did hard brick your phone. If you're under Samsung warranty, send it to them, they will replace the chip. If you're not under warranty, you can try using some of the guides floating around, search for revive bricked phone, go through the threads and look at other people's results. But that's only if you're not under warranty, cause at this point you can't do anything else to make it worse.

once they a charged battery in the note. If that also does not have any effect on the phone. that is no download mode, then it's hard bricked and motherboard is the only option

In cwm i had:

Do you mean you cant power the device ON ?
What happens when you connect usb cable ? Does anything light up, Does your computer 'beep' to notify you of a connected device ?
Have you took battery out and reinserted ? or just left it to charge for around 10 mins before trying to power on ?
Also, What ROM + Kernel were you on before you did the wipes in recovery ?

Ahh yes, in my panic i miss typed.
O cant power on i have tried taking the battery out etc. but with no luck.
I just plugged it into my laptop pc and not a thing
I was on stock ICS (uk) and i don't think i changed the kernel either
I had just rooted and did the super user thing
I also probably didnt fully install CMW as i ran the CWM.zip from external sd from recovery each time.

You can Revive your phone with a pit file like me. I bricked mine with the same way as you. Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12

Thanks but I don't know if that will work as i can't get the phone to power on (as far as i can tell) and it doesn't seem to do anything when i plug it into the laptop.
No ping no beep.
It had about 60% power left when i did it so it has juice.
I am thinking might have to take it to carphonewhorehouse and tell them i was just doing a factory reset cos it had slowed down with all the apps and it reset while doing it and now won't turn on?

in this ERA of auto-root kernels, people still using CWM.zip...
probably should have just read some stickies. but too late...
if there is no response from the device, the pits are not going to work. only way is to get a replacement motherboard under warranty,
and as the device is non responsive.. they will not be able to detect anything about root.
Good Luck

Yeah i did some reading, but clearly not in the right place
back to the shop it goes. If you have a guide that you could point me to to get this doen the correct way then that would be much appreciated (if and whn i get a working replacement)

when you get the phone check what rom its on. just update to the latest ICS rom..(donot wipe).
download philz kernel for the rom you have updated to.
put it in the sd card
boot into recovery
and apply update from ext storage.> point to the kernel > install
thats it. your phone gets rooted, safe kernel and CWM inbuilt.
now you can follow the procedure in the CM10 rom to install. (The Safe Way)

Thanks!
I have just got back from CPW where the nice lady said that it looks like a hardware fault given what i had described so she is sending it off to be either mobo replaced o plain replaced.
I have emailed myself your guide and will look into it if and when i get it back.

Help please with flashing Rom (potentially bricked?)

Hi,
I was running the JellyBam installer having rooted using a guide at cursed4eva, using cwm.zip. The only thing I'm unsure of is because the phone was owned before me, whether a custom kernel was installed (perhaps Franco as it was on the sd card)... I wiped everything using recovery mode, and ran cwm.zip, then followed the guide. Everything was going fine, until during the installer it asked if I want to update a kernel or keep the kernel thats already on, but not knowing what to do and not being able to find anything on the internet, I just left it at the default option and updated the kernel. It remained on 2% while uncompressing the image file, but when I looked my phone had turned off and was unresponsive. I was going from rooted stock 4.04. Both recovery mode and download mode aren't available...
Is it likely to be hard-bricked or softbricked, and what do you suggest doing? I haven't had it over a year, so under UK law I should still have warranty on it, right?
Please help!
Warm regards,
Lee

Sounds more like a superbrick.. It's wells known that cwm.zip adviced by cursed4eva in YouTube its dangerous and can trigger the emmc bug.. I don't know why that dude haven't remove that video so far..
Try removing the battery for some minutes and then turn on the device in odin mode (power +volume down +home) and flash a stock gingerbread with pc odin

If nothing happens when I've connected it to the PC with Odin open, and pressing Power+Vol Dwn+Home, does that mean its super bricked, or am I just doing something wrong?

You need to put the device in odin mode (volume down + home + Power until a warning shows up) when the warning appear on the screen release everything and press volume up to confirm.. Once in odin mode you can plug the device to the pc.
But before that you need to install either kies or samsung drivers in your pc.. You can find samsung drivers in Dr ketans toolbox in general section.. Once done with this, connect the device and wait for Windows to setup the device..
Once donde you can open odin.. And a yellow block should turn on In the upper left corner..

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried putting my device into Odin mode, but nothing appeared on the screen (and I held it for about a minute!). I've downloaded the Samsung Drivers, just to double check that it was already installed, and it was.
I can't get anything whatsoever on the screen. I don't even know if it's working at all... I can't get anything even though it's plugged into the mains. Any help would be greatly appreciated

First of all try to charge the battery externally using other phone or a ext charger. make sure there is juice on the battery and try to go to download mode again. battery might not get charged in that phone...
Once that done and still the phone is unresponsive .., no indication of screen display at all.like the N7000 logo (vol dwn+pwr+home) or (vol up+power+home), then it may be hard bricked and need a motherboard replacement .. I guess the samsung warranty is from the date of purchase as on the cash memo

Many thanks. I've had it plugged in and I can feel its warm so it must be charging. I've also tried a replacement battery to no avail. I guess it must be completely bricked. If Samsung only replace the motherboard then I'll try the retailer first, worth a try!
Many thanks for your help

Ok.. and let us know how it goes

Have to love Amazon! Even though I bought it last May, they're replacing it - no questions asked! Is there a guide on how to do this the best way possible on the new device? There's so much out of date information on the internet, including the guide I initially followed!

Dead its dead... Just return it and please do not ever wipe on ics stock kernels or use cwm.zip just read here or ask... Better ask than burning another device

Is it likely to be hard-bricked or softbricked, and what do you suggest doing? I haven't had it over a year, so under UK law I should still have warranty on it, right?
Please help!
Warm regards,

Hes already getting a replacement

Thanks guys. Yeah, I got a replacement today from Amazon. No questions asked! Just to clarify to install Jellybam, I can follow the steps on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 to replace the kernel, and then going into Recovery Mode, flash the zip and then during the installer I don't want to replace the kernel? Right?

Philz kernel is only for stock samsung roms. If the new phone you go is on stock ICS rom, then install this kernel from stock recovery. This will give you root.
The boot into recovery and do all wipes ( factory reset and wipe cache partition dalvik cache)
then go to mounts & storage and do format /system, format/data, format/preload.
then go to Install Zip and install the rom
This rom wont work with Philz kernel. so you need to use the kernel included in the ROM or Hydracore V7.

Ok thank you for your help! I'll start now and let you know how it goes. Is there anything in this process that I need to be careful to ensure I don't brick it (other than using cwm.zip!)?
