Hi all,
My note run ICS has been rooted and the last rom on it is king droid 2.1
Just yesterday I've tried to wipe it all from the recovery. After that it was stuck on the main screen when you switch on the phone I was still able to go in recovery so I try to re-flash the same rom and after the previous one without success then I've tried to flash back the original rom lpy with Odin started to recognise the device but when it started to flash it it takes ages and the progressive bar it stay just like on 1% .
Now the phone doesn't go in recovery mode but just in download mode and on the screen comes "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
Off course Kies does not recognise the phone.
Please help me I'm desperate
Thanks to all
you had wiped in recovery, your phone is bricked ......sorry, i hope you have yet warrenty
The phone is on warranty but I haven't got the receipt unfortunately
Kingdroid 2.1 uses a cf-root that is affected by superbrick bug (and this is why this version was removed from the OP by his author), so probably your note is damaged.
in general section there are many threads (like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661590) with guides that you can try to use to "repair" your bricked note... otherwise you can send it to samsung assistance and hope in a free motherboard replacement.

But if I send the note to Samsung they can see the phone it has been rooted
Do u think they will still do something for it?

Sure they can, but if they find your note is rooted (or generically modded) you have to pay the cost of the mainboard replacement.
However, first of all, I suggest you to read the thread I've posted (and even others) and verify if you can revive your note by yourself.
Good luck mate, I'm really sorry for your note :-(

With all the warnings I am curious why did you try wiping from an ICS kernel?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
First thing you should do is check other threads about that around here.
If you can get it into download mode, you could give flashing with Odin a try. If it doesn't get stuck at factory.fs, then you're not superbricked.
If it does get stuck, then you have 2 more hopes:
- HOPE 1
- HOPE 2
If those don't work either...I'm afraid it's off to the Samsung Service center for a shiny new motherboard.
Best of luck to you and hope you get your Note up and running as soon as possible...
I know but mistake happens......and unfortunately I did a big mistake......I'm getting mad to try to solve this problem
Thanks I'll look the threads soon I finish to work Odin by he way it get stuck on factory.fs. So no chance but I was reading about The pit file do you know something about?
By the way thanks for the help guys
I hope you can fix it.

please help me also
try this mine got working but u will loose ur sd card space like mine to 9 gb
I AM FROM INDIA ,I AM A REGULAR VISITOR OF THIS FORUM. I TRIED SEVERAL ROMS NEARLY I MIGHT HAVE DONE 25 ROM INSTALLATION IN MY PHONE USING ODIN. FOR THE LAST 20 DAYS I AM ON THE SAME ROM DDLP8 ICS 4.03 (ROOTED)
DURING A FILE TRANSFER FROM MY PC PHONE SWITCHED OF AND DIDNT GO ON.
i searched xda and finally custom pit method worked for me with a pit file .. but i now have only 9 GB space in my internal SD . i tried all other pits only two pit file allows me to install a rom.
any way to regain my memory back.
if repair is the only option how much indian rupee it will cost.
please brothers help me . i am a student and because of addiction to custom roms i have installed roms several times.
Well, if patched pit was the only solution that worked for you, I think that's no way you can get your 7gb-left back, cause part of your emmc storage is probably -certainly- corrupted, and for now is impossible to repair without a motherboard replacement...unfortunately you need Samsung assistance for that.
I'm sorry mate but I don't live in India, so I have no idea of how much it will cost.

So who actually has handbricked his device with one of the leaked kernels. Please be honest!
and if there are who bricked their phones with ics leak kernels, please also leave feedback after what moves you bricked phone
I bricked my phone with that angel from ics kernel leak a few months ago.
I'm sure the emmc partition is corrupt that writes data to it while flashing rooms
Mobile Odin dont work or PC Odin can't help me i get factoryfs.img error on write.
Resulting in gingerbread roms stock or custom cant be flashed
ics repack touchwizz roms can't be flashed either.
Only working roms that work are aosp-aokp.imilka cm9.
Liquidsmooth -stunner and so on.
But Cassie's extra light x gingerbread rom works.
But that's the only 1
But I went to a phone shop today
And the person said thay be having new software in 2 weeks that will fix my issue
So I can have stock gingerbread again
I believe I've just bricked my GNote a few minutes ago. I was on Criskelo ICS, then this thing with ICS leaks are being dangerous and the performance of the phone in games made me try CM9.
I've followed the instructions, the phone doesn't restart now. I'm in USA, I just wonder how the warranty works for international GNote in here. Do I have to send it to Samsung UK ? I got my phone through Expansys-USA btw

I bricked my phone a few months ago. Flashing angel ics kernel.
I still had working download mode. But cwm recovery was missing and replace with a blue writing state,
Interface I think it was.
So I flashed a kernel I think kj4
Cwm recovery was installed again
Resulting in me using it again
As a semi bricked device
I totally bricked mine when updating stunner, I made a good bit of noise about it though I think most of it was removed. And yes totally bricked and going back to sammo for motherboard replacement at a cost to myself. Should be hard for any one to brick now with all the information available tho

you should follow some of the guides on this forum to see if you can get your phone recognized by PC odin. Just because the screen and buttons do not work does not necessarily mean that you are hardbricked

we are all humans, we all do mistakes. Even if you "old school"
By mistake I flashed ICS kernel (witch was inside in iMilkas gapps) when I was on latest Cyanogen...
and I failed.
And I call to USA Samsung, they said : "Im sorry your phone is N-7000 ! Non-US phone." Call to the Europe.
I called to UK Samsung, they said: "Im sorry you in US, we can't help you".
So long story short, THANKs GOD for Ebay ! lol

Sounds like the BrickBug, I guess your only hope is to try usb jig to force into download mode, If that fails send it to samsung for a new mother board.
You downloaded so many firmwares and flashed. did it come in mind to read any of the info comments on the OP threat? Just a question!

What to do ????????????????????????? Please help ??????????????????
Flash a stock rom via odin. Or boot into recovery and flash your current rom again.
Try the second method first¦
Sorry to say, but this is NOT the Q&A section, this is a development related section of the forum, would you mind posting that question where it belongs to ?
This should be in Q & A...that being said...This is callwd BOOTLOOP.....
Happens when you dont flash properly...download LP3 rom from stock roms thread...and download pc odin....get your phone to download mode..vol up + lock + menu....preas vol up again...connect it to pc...open pc odin before or after this..no prob..click on PDA and select the LP3 rom file...hit start and see the magic happen...if it wont work.got to recovery and do all 3 wipes...try this again...good luck
You may try removing the battery and re-insert. and charge the phone when it is off for some time say an hour and reboot. this may not be the solution but who knows where the remedy lies.
hey guys i think i have the same problem except mine was after i wiped my phone wrongly i think, so i managed to load a GB firmware onto my phone but should i still use the LP3 rom with the phone or should i flash a kernel? thanks

Hello guys I just sold my 4S and bought this Note 1 , anyway im new to android flashing and this stuff , ive heard that its way different than iOS restoring which is really easy and simple. Right now i got a few questions , If i missed a step or did something wrong it'll render my device unusable ofcourse , but will it be unrecoverable ? Thats the first thing. Second thing is that is it recommended that i install custom roms? right now i need one's with the Water Ripple effects on lockscreens , or if you can just tell me how to install the effect without custom rom's that'll be helpful because i want to flash official 4.1.2 jelly bean first and then the lockscreen effect. Im just new to the Android stuff and i dont know where to start Same feeling back in 2008 when i bought my first iPhone and got confused n' all

If you just install stock official 4.1.2 rom via odin, it should come with the ripple effect.
Or if the update is already available in your country, you can just update it to the latest official rom via kies.

You'll notice that all of the download links are zip files.
You just need to extract the zip file until you find the .tar file.

Yep, there's a way to install roms without PC, using mobile Odin, but before that you should have your phone been rooted first.
Well i can upgrade with PC but im kinda afraid ..

Wait a few minutes. Let me get on my PC and I'll give you step-by-step instructions.
Now, do this:
Since you're scared, we'll do this the safest way possible
1.)Download a stock GB rom from here.(You can always come back to this ROM if you run into any trouble).Flash it via PC Odin.
2.)Wipe data and cache from recovery (Press Vol Up+Power+Home when phone is off in order to boot to recovery)
3.)Download stock JB rom from here.Flash it via PC Odin.
OR
1.)Update using Kies.
You're done

Yes, then you'll have gingerbread. Don't forget to wipe after installing gingerbread.
It may brick. Not definite that it will brick. Still, better safe than sorry. Never wipe on stock ICS kernel!

Well said mate. Was going to say exactly the same. People seem to rethink it's a manned help site.
We will help but help your self first. That's how you learn.

I actually read and made my research already , and also successfully upgraded to jelly bean and i must say , i made a big mistake >.< The performance is crap and the phone gets overheated in a few minutes on both note 1 and 2 ( Its on 4.1.1) Im not really into kernels or custom rom flashing cause i already had a bad experience when i emmc bricked my old s2 thats why i take my steps carefully with this note. Ill downgrade to 2.3.6 and ordered an original battery (Yeah im using fake one stupid i know) and see of that fixes it. Appreciate your help guys , thanks
