[Q] Galaxy note stuck on Samsung logo. Cant enter recovery!

Hello guys. I just upgraded Samsung note n7000 to stock ics rom. I rooted it and all was fine. I wanted to try stunner ics rom so I went to recovery mode and then entered cwm. As soon as I pressed wipe date, it got stuck and now I can't even get into recovery mode. Phone either stuck on Samsung logo or if I try to enter recovery by pressing vol up + home + power, it shows android bot with blue wheel rotating and it keep rotating then again goes to Samsung logo after several minutes. Please advise what to do. I'm new to all this.

If you can get into download mode, Vol down Home and Power, use PC Odin to flash any of stock ROMs and start all over again..
Try flashing GB ROMs first as you are new.. ics roms are not safe ATM..

Ouch. Apologies in advance.. did you not read this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943 It sounds like a hard brick. Situations like this should make everyone realise why mods and devs continually drum into users the importance of searching threads and reading stickies.

OMG !! Why did you "WIPE" ?????????
Anyhow...
Try to use ODIN to Get u back to GB. You can flash a Pit file as a last resort. Please go through the numerous threads on ICS and its Risks before flashing.

I fear this might be another one in the long line of Superbricks.

My friend had juz successfully overcome the stuck at " NAND Write stuck" in PC odin while flashing the lp1 leak repack...
What we did was to change a different usb port... provided u r still able to go into download mode..
We successed into bringing it back to life...
I hope it mayb some help.. no harm trying though...
Noted From My G.NOTE Using XDA Premium

Yes,its totally hardbrick. The eMMC cant be read while it boot,thats why you stuck in samsung galaxy note logo.. Bring it to sevice centre,and just wish they change your machine. I've experienced it when I was using galaxy s2, fortunatly they put it on guarentee and they change my machine.

Another hardbrick!? I think yes. F***, I feel sad for all of those who are bricking their devices.
I am afraid you have to send it to Samsung. They shall replace the mainboard.

welcome to *superbrick club*.
one solution is to join the *go-to-samsung-center-and-get-replacement-under-warranty club*

I know a dev(name not to be disclosed) who have recovered from a superbrick (and yeah I'm sure a superbrick) by making a custom kernel.I can let let the info out if any real and very talented kernel dev can make a kernel.I'm not trolling guys....Its real.

But I'm able to go to downloading mode and when i put it on charge, it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
Does it still mean I hard bricked the device?

Unfortunately, yes.
You can try to flash a stock GB Rom from Download Mode using PC Odin, but your
flash will fail. We have seen it so many times before...
However, there's no harm in trying, so go for it, maybe you prove to be an exception.

warranty?
if i connect my phone to charger, it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies. but kies detects the phone bnut keeps saying connecting....
i am able to go to downloading mode which says
custom binary download:no
current binary: official
i have tried to put stock rom using pc odin but it gets stuck at nand write start.
is there a way out here?
if not, will samsung honour the warranty?
thanks.

Yes they will honor the warranty. give an excuse that you got a notification for upgrade to ICS and then your phone wont boot.

[Q] Need to straight up nuke my I9000 - Many an issue

Hey guys, it's been a while!
Anyway, before I even got my I9000 I had everything sorted to install Darky's ROM and the Speedmod kernel. Some time between them working perfectly and now, I plugged the phone in to Kies and it has tried to update me to GB. SM and DR did not like this.
I managed to do a factory reset (or whatever it is in CWM), and that got the phone to boot, but it isn't pretty. I get the kind of graphical messing up that a dying GPU would render whilst booting the phone, it reboots 25% of the time I am using the music player, and I can NOT boot in to download or recovery any more. I already tried plugging it in to Kies in the hopes it could just wipe the phone over and start again, but it simply does not recognise it.
Likewise, I would look in to the files I need to just do the equivalent of a full format with Odin/ADB, but without download mode I don't think that would even work.
So, the question is; just what the **** am I supposed to do?

USB recovery jig.

can you get into your phone ??????????? I mean can you reach Settings ???? because I didnt read all your speech .

Search for "recovery.tar" and flash it with MOBILE Odin, this would give u cwm and flash a new rom in cwm or flash a stock rom with mobile Odin. Good luck

Mobile Odin? Interesting, will look in to it.
EDIT: This recovery.tar; should it be on my phone already or do I have to find one? Because Astro can't find jack **** on my phone.
EDIT2: Scratch that, found it. Trying to flash it using "Open File..." has just resulted in it being stuck at:
"Flashing...
Flashing Kernel..."
for the last 10 minutes...
Thanks for the replies so far guys!

solved it ???????????

Nope. Sorry, I have been editing that post rather than enter new posts (until someone else posts, of course).
EDIT: Still flashing...

Ok, it now won't boot at all (stuck at the Samsung splash load screen), BUT, importantly, I can get in to download mode and CWM recovery.
What do I download and do to entirely wipe the **** out of this phone and start again?
EDIT:
Fixed. Sorted. Thanks for your help guys, it is much appreciated.

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

I haven't been able to access a PC tonight, but I'll try tomorrow. I don't suppose it's possible on a Mac is it? It is within my 1 year statutory rights, so that should be ok
Thanks for all your help guys!

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

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.

im trying to flash stockkernel....but the kernel is in tar file...so i search around and found a way to make a flashable zip......however the zip file is pre-made for s3......silly me...i inserted the boot.img from s3 mini and put in the zip file......walla.....installed succesfully but never reboot.....a lesson learn today......hope its not a very expensive one.....
i follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38579283

You should have just flashed it through odin instead, or restored boot.img from a previous made cwm backup by choosing the advanced restore option.
S3 have a different partition layout. Not even built on the same board..

Sorry to say but you should have read though the forums thoroughly before attempting this. And don't be afraid to ask mundane questions even though it's advised not to ask in development threads. I read the guides at least three times over before taking action, just to be on the safe side.
