Hello there,
I just bought a galaxy note <well a week ago> and now i ended up soft bricking it.
here's how i did it -
I went to my friends place thinking of rooting my phone while he told me to add a custom rom to it . well since he was experienced i let him do it . he added a firmware of i9200(chinese ). well it worked now i found some chinese system applications that i didn't need and while searching on net how to do it i found a firmware of n7000 ics online and decided to flash it in. since i was at home i thought i would be able to do it myself and did what i shouldn't have done. i followed every step they said online and started the downloading of the rom but unfortunately when pc odin was at it's end i mean the end of downloading i actually disconnected the cable ( what the f*** was i thinking) . now i tried to reinstall the same rom but couldn't - pc odin always showed setting up connection or something like this and then stalled for hours ... i thought of flashing some other rom but it didn't - same thing <stalling for hours> . Now what should i do??? help me - maybe i can go to samsung customer care service and ask them to reset my phone but since the usb debugging was on last time when i turned my phone off , kies might not do the job . can u suggest me a way.
one more thing i can't flash stock rom into it and <i am dumb> i didn't backed up my stock rom.
p.s. my flash count is 2 . i can't load my phone into recovery mode but can into download mode and can't do it with a jig (am from india plus i am a little low on technical know how).
i can't hard reset it either. a suitable help would be appreciated ,pls

I have no experience with this, but I did keep this video link on how to put a bricked Samsung into download mode just in case I needed it. The usb jig is the same for both the captivate and the Note from what I have read:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...ung-captivate-usb-jig-video-start-finish.html
If you are able to enter download mode then Just try with different version of PC Odin , like V1.83, V1.85, V1.87. and do not worry about Stock ROM you can always download it from below link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
thankyou guys but i can't use jig since i can't buy it nor am i capable of making one.
Rajan , bro my problem is something different. the roms i am trying to insert in my phone was via the odin i used earlier to flash my first rom. and it went successfully . but last time the second rom i inserted was interrupted during download and am not able to add anymore of them. now i have talked to samsung care and they told me to bring my phone along with the bill maybe they can do it. even though my warranty is done for, but i think i can believe them . yet if there are any other suggestions pls tell me or should i give it to samsung care. I really don't wanna keep my phone rooted so i have no problem flashing stock but it's not happening. CAN KIES HELP?
p.s i have used all 1.85 , 1.87 and 1.83 version no use.

Dont take it service centre.If you do so also dont say them you flashed custom rom.Then they wont fix it under warranty.Dont worry now.
Try different usb ports,uninstalling drivers and reinstalling it and try again.And as you are noob I recommend not to flash ICS customs at the moment.Stay with GB
I say go to your friend first who rooted your phone then ask him to try the various methods given in the forum recovering from softbrick.
i have read in some other websites that i will need a pit file to restore my phone + the rom file while checking repartition and auto time fe: reset in odin 1.83 then maybe i will be able to return back to gb . do u think this is ok for me to do .
p.s i live in chandigarh while my friend has moved to gurgaon so no chance to go to his place. and i have talked to customer care and told them everything. they told me to take the phone to service centre and they will help me.
now tell me what are my options!?

wait . what? what is this red pill and all .. i think you can save me but i would liike you to brief me about the procedure plus i read this - i need a (wipe) rom to be able to reflash my rom or something like this .
p.s i am still downloading my firmware ...
but would be better if i get the info i need before hand!
dude.. don't panic... I don't think ur phone is dead... best is to buy a jig... try on eBay... I got it for 200rs in eBay... I don't think that's a big deal for any one with a note .. I bought it even before experimenting because I thought some thing like this might happen....
its safest way to remove the triangle and get into recovery mode... as somebody else suggested flashing red pill also works ... search in development section for abyss kernel... ull find it...

its a kernel with a custom recovery.Its like CWM(Clock Work Mod).You could find it in the development section.Download the kernel.Could you get into recovery mode by turning off the phone,holding "vol up+home button+powerbutton"?

wenn connecting to Kies at firmware Kies says something like LC1. lb2 (XXX) as product code? if so they have changed the board on the service center and they haven't activate the Pcode on your phone google "Pcode not active" you will find few posts till now only ppl from Germany had it who send their phones to service center via Saturn/Media Markt ist guess it was/is a technician you was sleeping on the seminare/briefing how to change the board on Note. hope it will help you if it is that try to replace your phone, had the XXX Pcode after service center got a replacement. after a month of arguing with the salesman.

Uninstall the Odin in your PC and install it again to see if it works.
i am pretty much sure that they didn't change the mother board. they must have added the firmware that's all as my mboard wasn't damaged at all , it was just that the battery failed when i gave it to samsung people that's why my phone overheated when they charged it and that's when the battery must have been destroyed maybe due to that overheating they must have thought to change mboard (but they didn't cause those engineers must have changed the battery prior to examining my phone for the problem). AND i didn't have pc odin on my THIS pc to start with. it was in my laptop and kies didn't even reckoned my phone there well that's why i installed kies on HERE . i guess service center people can update it the same way they installed this firmware here..... what do u suggest?
AND Braxos Pcode is active --- it's something :
GT-N7000ZBAINU
and no, the current firmware info kies shows is something like ---
N7000DDLC1/N7000ODDLC1/N7000DDLC1/N7000DDLC1(INU)
(now i think they have done something wrong - it's all n7000ddlc1 here. what is this? )
GUYS can u also tell me what does your firmware version shows (just for reference , pls do it!)
p.s my phone is still in warranty since they fixed my phone free of cost plus they also replaced the battery for free . before my phone was sent to service center my phone had a flash count of two yet they fixed it under warranty(yay!).And thank you everyone!
MY ADVICE TO NEWBIES----
If your phone is soft bricked and you don't know what to do and you think you will make the matter even worse then don't do anything to permanently brick it . you guys should go to service center , they might even fix it for u for free just like they did it for me!

Try to enter download mode, if not successful, then sorry to say its bricked. Getting to Samsung Service Center is the only way.
Won't samsung service center say that my warranty is voided because i rooted my mobile ?
Init rom manager kills mini?
Am i right?

No, they can't detect whether its rooted or not because the phone won't simply boot up. Just go to them, and just say "I don't know, what happened, its just not powering on from the other day" And don't say things like ROM Manager or Custom ROMs or root etc. and they'll charge you. If not then, it will be covered under warranty, and your motherboard will be replaced.
Ok is there any option or am i stuck with the Samsung service center :/ ?

There are some options, but it would only end up of you being gone to Samsung Service Center. Anyways just google - jtag, jig, rom manager bricking galaxy mini. Try to enter into download mode, and if you are successful you may flash a Stock firmware immediately, otherwise no choice.
Go to a some shop near you that fix phone thats what i did when i first bricked my phone i paid 30£

i had same problem where it was totally dead...(was on alliance lsa at the time). i was flashing and then unplugged the usb as it was stuck and it never booted again.
i tried everything and finally had to send it off for jtag repair...which cost £20 and i paid for special del both ways so around £32 all in (i think you may need the same mate~
just got it back and have flashed gb on it and will decide where to go next....i'm so glad i got my note back

This worked twice for me (only 2 times I had to do this): Go to recovery, do a nandroid backup & restore the same..
This worked once today (was at work & dont wanted to take nandroid & then restore..so tried this method): Go to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik & reboot..
One of these may work for you..try it..may not a solution, but really worth trying if u dont want to re-flash the rom, lose data etc.
May be he said no recovery or download mode in OP

USB Port broke and would not charge, Decided to flash stock firmware via mobile ODIN before battery eventually died so I could send for repair without them knowing what software was on it........But it died mid flash
after placing another fully charged battery into the phone it just wont boot at all, Completely lifeless.
Luckily my quick thinking made me take all the data and media off the phone before the battery ran out so im not too upset lol
I have warranty also, so i shall be sending it off after the weekend.
Current phone ??? Galaxy S3, so lifes not too bad
Good for you.

That happened with me as well when I tried to flash anything! That means the eMMC chip is permanently damaged! You will need to discharge the battery using download mode and return to your seller to get refund or replacement if this doesn't work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159660
If you have the NFC version of the S3 mini (GT-I8190N) then flash the PARAM_I8190N or otherwise try flashing PARAM_I8190

What?!?! Claim your warranty!!!
Did you return it to the manufacturer (Samsung) or to your seller? Return to your seller and get a refund or replacement. The contract of sales lies with your seller, not for you to give to Samsung customer services!
Did you try the link I sent you first though? Try that before returning it

Soft-bricked is good, download mode and Odin recognisable is better so don't worry we can fix this for you. First though, your English is understandable so keep it up and you didn't violate anything. You even posted in the correct section so +5 for reading.
Looks like your recovery is broken so you need to first make sure your phone is boot-able. Therefore Odin flash a stock rom (this uses the download mode) to reset everything. From there, two ways are available to install recovery, stock update or Odin flash again so choose which one suits you best. Don't use the old KitKat roms (except NightOwl) since they're unsupported. Stable ones are NightOwl roms as it's still in active development.

Thank you so much for being honest, i'm so appreciate it, okay, i've flash so many recovery system (like Philztouch), but it still stuck in TEAMWIN logo, and there is no result, and i've flash another stock rom from sammobile, i choose the one for Indonesia region, but still no result, there is no difference, or should i try to flas the ginger bread stock rom??i try so many times to find another Dr Ketan Ginger bread stock rom, because the website where he upload the data (hotfile.com) were not open in indonesia (it has been blocked for a reason) so i have to find another website that provide the data, and there is no result again, or might be it's caused by the hardware or not??

Right now you ignore all of that. Odin flash a stock rom from sammobile, then install the correct recovery based on your stock ROM from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191. Get the Jellybean rom, it's safer and easier.
