I am hoping that I have not killed my new Galaxy Tab.
I was following the overcome rom procedure to the letter. Now my tab will not turn on - blank screen and no sign of life - and odin does not see it. This is exactly what happened:

Is there any hope? Do I just try to return it?
So far 40 reads and no replies. I gather it is hopeless. My computer does not see the GT and neither does, of course, Odin.
Have you tried putting it back into download mode again and reflashing

Thank you for replying. Yes, I have tried to reenter download mode. The Tab will not respond to anything I have tried. It is like a "brick."
Sorry i cant be of any help

Sure.
1. Rooted using SuperOneClick v1.9.1 - worked like a charm.
2. Enabled non-market apps using SuperOneClick v1.9.1 - also worked like a charm
3. Installed SGT-Bootloader-Patch-v1.00.apk and verified bootloaders were fine (status okay)
4. Backed up to SD Drive some apps - Titanium Backup
5. Ran Odin 1.7 in download mode
- set to repartition automatically
- Pressed “PIT” button and selected: gt- p1000_mr.pit
- Pressed “PDA” button and selected: GB_Stock_Safe_v1.tar
- Pressed "Phone" button and selected “JK3 Modem - modem.bin“
locked up for hour first time, reran once when screen above appeared and GT died
Thanks again
How much battery life did the Tab have when you started this process?
Flashing is VERY battery intensive, and if you left it for an hour afterwards, then tried again... that could easily be 30-40% of your battery. If you started with less than 50% there is a good chance you allowed the battery to die during the flashing process. IF that is the case, than yes, it's hard bricked and need's jtagging.
Lucky you, connexion2005 is unbricking a lot of devices these days.... Send him a PM and see if he can't fix it for you.
I also just realized he lives in the same state as me.... HONEYCOMB TESTER HERE!

Thank you for the help.
If you connect it to pc with no reaction. connect it to the charger, if you saw the pc and decice logo with the yellow exlamnation mark. Then the only way to fix it is through Samsung repair center. Don't worry most probably they will diagnose it as mainboard failure and swap it for you.
Next time, check your bootloader then flash it once, twice, if still did not work try to search over the net, before keeping flashing flashing flashing flashing flashing flashing flashing flashing flashing

Thanks.
Assuming I am brave or an idiot (or as is most likely both), is the process I used correct? If I make sure the phone is charged after each step will it work, or is there something else I missed or should do?
I make no guarantees, but yes, your process looks good. Verify the modem is correct and that SHOULD be ok.
No need to charge each step, just make sure you are at 100 when you start and don't leave it alone till it is done.

Quoting Darkpal:
"THE GB bootloaders are signed yes but are not secured and they are needed for GB to boot making that patch pointless since kernels and mods can be installed whether bootloaders are signed or not"
I think the fact that you patched the bootloader has something to do with the issue you are facing. I think you downgraded the bootloader which is risky.
It's my opinion, not too sure though.
As many people advised here, try to charge the tab for a couple of hours and see if there is any change.
Question: Did you notice any horizontal lines in the tab? (white, green, blue, red...etc)

First, I want to thank you and everyone else who has responded. I may still have a brick, but at least I do not feel as alone.
Second, you may be right about the patch. It is the only thing I did that is different than many other people. That should not have been the case though, as the patch was supposed to report a problem - not make one.
Third, I am tempted to wait for Kies to bring us gingerbread and hex edit this so I can use it as a phone. Seems safer, no?

Charging did change a thing. The GT would not turn on, would not go to download mode, was not recognized by the desktop computer or a new laptop and could not be placed in download mode: a true brick.
Because the device was a few weeks old, Samsung is going to replace. I will still need to figure out how to use as a phone.

Does recovery still work for you?
Had the same similar problem when I flashed ICS with a friend of mine a few days ago. Been trying to find out how to fix the phone for a day and a half. Tryed to flash LA6 stockrom and a few other stockroms. But also kept hanging at factoryfs.img everytime. We also weren't able to get into recovery mode anymore, only download mode.
Last night my friend succeeded in getting recovery back operational again by flashing a file via Odin. Still haven't fixed the phone yet, but at least with recovery we'll stand a better chance I think.
So let me know if you still have recovery or not. If not, then I'll try uploading the file that he used to get recovery back for his N7000. At least that way you can try a factory reset or something like that. I'm not sure if I can upload something since that I'm still new here.
All with all, good luck.
Yes i have recovery

Same here.
Have you tryed a factory reset?
I've tryed it, but when I do it just hangs. Another friend of mine recommended me to wipe/format everything except "System".
Haven't tryed this yet though, so I'm not sure what will happen.
I will let you know the outcome later today.
i'm sure you did a cwm wipe while on LPY and now wants to go back to GB?
if so.... sorry to tell you are now a member of the "superbrick club".
when will people learn to read? it's NOT SAFE to do CWM wipe on LPY. DO NOT BELIEVE what others say "it's fine in my case, did it a hundred times". they are simply yanking your chains and they wait until somebody posts a new thread (like this) and off they go snickering in the darkness.

Be very careful, you don't have much trial & error room left. Let the next step be spot on and only do so if you are 100% sure. It's better to wait a few days for a good answer than hurry and end up with a brick. I had the exact same problem but the more possible solutions I tried the more the problems increased and since yesterday my Phone is officially a "brick". Because I've tried so much options I no longer can tell the difference what possibilities are OK and what are NOT OK. Lots of succes.

For a lot of "superbrick club members", including me, the problems started/harm was done when even the specialists on this forum were not completely sure what the cause of the problem was and what to do and what not. A few days ago reading threads didn't give consistent answers....that was also part of the problem. Mind you...I don't blame anyone but myself.
This happened before with Angelom's kernel and now again-
PC Odin stuck at Factoryfs.img== SUPERBRICK.
If you have a superbrick, you have kernel/download mode but you CANNOT write to certain blocks of memory card, so its a MOBO replacement!
Sorry guys!
when I tried to install another recovery I went out this screen

+1 totally agreed. At least in this thread there are no clueless naysayers that keep arguing that this case is recoverable.
Try to wipe it again but not in CWM but in stock recovery.

I tried .. The process takes a long time, is completed, but it always presents the same problem
I have read in another topic if flashing fails at Factoryfs.img then your eMMC is damaged and you have to get the motherboard replaced.
I see a lot of similarities with the problems I had. I think you're also having bad luck, sorry.

use a jig and reset your counter, go to samsung service and tell that your phone conked while updating via kies and act as if you had no idea whatsoever and you woke up to a dead phone, they will replace your mother board.

I've seen Notes being stuck there, and mostly they are bricked cause of emmc or a corrupted kernel. Are yiu sure didn't flash anything? What was your last activity before your Note died?

hmmm from the sounds of it... your phone is not brick... it just entered into a very deep slumber mode...
one thing you can revive to wake it is perhaps to get a usb jig and revive your phone using it.
Or, you can try Holding the power button down, holding Volume key Down and the Home key all at the same time.....while your phone is plug to the charger...
See if something will come up on the screen....

It should not happen such with you...
If you are out of battery on official ROM, generally by getting it charged back can resolve the issue...

no havan't been able to fix it yet it's a pretty tough issue, now i'm following a guide to completely repartition the phone cuz there might be a bad sector
Try re-flash back with PCODIN and once flashed and still stuck at 'samsung' boot screen, press vol up + home + power button and do a factory reset. Then reboot system/wipe data cache.
Hello, I've had my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 for about a year now. I've never rooted it before.
This morning I was browsing my phone and it just shut off and went to the "Samsung GALAXY Note GT-N7000" boot screen.
I saw on other forms instructions on how to hard reset the N7000 (Remove battery, put back in, then hold Volume up, Power and Home button, then it gives you a menu to choose from)
When I do that it doesn't give me a menu screen, It just goes to the boot screen I described above, or it goes to the little green android man with the rotating object in him, then back to the (GT-N7000) boot screen a few minutes later.
I have a macbook, so I can't use the odin program. (Nor would I know how)
I don't mind wiping all the data from my phone and restarting from the beginning.
I have all the stuff I need (phone numbers) stored on my google account. And I can redownload my main apps I liked.
Any ideas?
Update
I have a windows computer I can use, so I want to use Odin to put the normal firmware back on my phone.
I am having a hard time finding the USA firmware for the GT-N7000. I have been looking all around but cannot seem to find it.
Can anybody help me out?
Check in Samfirmware.com.

Also my phone is at 100% battery in preparation since people said to make sure it was charged before flashing.
Slight Problem...
I'm using Odin v1.85 following the instructions above and it has gotten stuck on "NAND Write Start!" for the past 15 minutes.
It doesn't seem like it is going to do anything. What should I do?
Still? Wait for some more time. Then kill kies processes and run odin as administrator. Boot into download mode again. And try.
I'm windows inept

I waited about 15 more minutes then held the power button to turn it off. So now it's off and charging again.
These may be really really dumb questions, but:
1) how do i kill kies processes?
2) And how do I run as administrator?
Sorry, I'm sorta windows inept since I've been using a macbook for the past 5 years.
Open task manager and check anything related to kies. Also make sure samsung usb drivers are properly installed. If not or in doubt, download and install kies first. Then plug the phone in and with for the drivers to install.
On the phone and check what is the message on screen, if it's a firmware recovery screen the try connecting with kies recovery option. If still stuck on logo, kill all kies process. Right click on odin and run as administrator. The put phone on download and flash.
Trying it soon
I didn't have kies installed, so I am installing it right now. So once that is installed I will try it out and let you know if it works :fingers-crossed:
Updating right now
I just started updating at 10:28
I downloaded Kies, and the screen wasn't in emergency recovery, so I killed all kies processes and then i put my phone into download mode and started ODIN v1.85 as an administrator and plugged in my phone.
By 10:29 it hit <ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
It's 10:45 and it's still on NAND Write Start!!

There must be problem with emmc. Use the pit file method to install correctly. Flash the pit file first with re-partition ticked and others un-ticked. See if it goes successful. Then flash your PDA with re-partition un-ticked and reboot and reset ticked.
Is there any certain pit file thread that you would point me towards?
I been looking and I found a couple, but they all vary a little and I really really don't want to brick my phone.
Use the pit file from Dr ketans flashing guide

I went to Dr. Ketan's post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 and downloaded Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
Right now I'm flashing the pit file first with re-partition ticked and others un-ticked.
What should I do if it gets stuck at <ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!?
It's been at that step for about 7 minutes now, and I just want to know what I should do in case it doesn't move past that.

I've been flashing it for about 20 minutes now, using the pit file with only re-partition ticked. It hast't moved past <ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Should i be worried, or does re-partitioning with the pit file take a long time?
Was I supposed to have the PDA file in there too while flashing, or just the pit file? I really hope I didn't f this up...
I don't want a really expensive paper weight
DEAD
It was sitting there flashing with the pit file and my friend threw a ball at me and it hit the usb cable and it unplugged my phone from the computer. Then the computer wouldn't recognize my device anymore. I tried to turn my device back into download mode to restart the process but it won't even turn on or show that it is charging when plugged in.
I guess this is the end
Unless anybody out there is a miracle worker.
Dear XDA geniuses, i could really need your help!
for the last month my battery started to run out pretty fast. Couple of days ago i noticed a weird thing, the screen started to flicker, and the phone disconnected itself from the cellular network. And then the worst has happened- the phone just shuts down itself and ever since i cant turn it on.
The only thing i can do is go into download mode, so i switched batteries and tried to install a stock firmware from sammobile with odin.
at first odin failed and told me that there is no PIT partition, i pressed reset and tried again from a different USB and then it told me "operation failed" without any reason. I tried it again and again with different version of odin, different firmware, different cable and every time the same thing- first no PIT partition and then just fail..
Please Help!

You probably need to repartition your phone using a PIT file. It is very risky though so do so at your own risk.

I don't think there are any guides for how to do it on the i9305. This guide is potentially applicable (just use i9305 files instead of Galaxy Duos ones) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659635 but like I said, do so at your own risk.
This is the only PIT file I've been able to find for the i9305 http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...fo-i9305-pit-file-flash-analysis-pit-t1950591 but I've never used it so I don't know if it works, especially on newer Android versions.

Thanks for the help!
Before i try these one, does anyone has a PIT file that you tried on your I9305??

Not sure, you could try a different Odin version maybe. I looked around online a bit and some people had luck trying it with a different cable. If that doesn't work then the PIT is probably no good. I could try dumping mine if you want but it will be the first time I've done it so don't blame me if it bricks your phone.

looks like i don't have choice but to try you'r PIT file. If that won't work I'm thinking of taking it to a lab, you think they'll be able to fix it?
Thanks A lot for the help!!

I'm starting to think that your eMMC chip is dead so it's possible that your motherboard will need replacing. Try flashing a custom recovery in Odin and seeing if you get any error messages when you boot into it. I can make the file later tonight but it's probably better to try some other things first.

Didn't change much. Tried to flash only the recovery and got "No PIT partition" so i added the PIT file and again "Re-Partition operation failed"
You think its a lost cause? HW problem?

It's sounding like it might be. I made the file but I haven't tested it or anything. I'll pm you the password for the .zip since I don't want random people flashing it.

That sucks, it sounds like it might have been sudden death syndrome or something because of the screen flickering. The last thing you could try is ticking nand erase all as well but that could potentially completely hard brick the phone because if it still fails to write after wiping you could lose your bootloader.

I just found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/sudden-death-i9300-t2786220 . You could try doing what he did and put a custom recovery instead of a stock ROM in PDA when using the PIT file but I doubt that it would work.
