Soft bricked N7000. How to?

Tried everything I could with Odin and phone still stuck in a start loop.
I was downgrading from checkROM to official firmware ZSLA2 with CWM (I wanted to keep ROOT, so I selected "Keep CF-Root kernel") due to stability issues, after restarting the phone got into the start loop.
I flashed with Odin official ZSLA2 with the same result (looped start). I flashed XXKKA (again looped start). During the flashing process, Odin says the flashing was successful. By the way, both ROMS are tar.md5 files.
I tried to remove the battery for over 30 minutes and charge it for 2 hours, tried re-partition in Odin (it's my understanding that with a stock rom, it creates a clean installation), but Odin fails to start the process.
What else can I do?
I am sorry if this has previously asked, but I've been searching for over 2 hours and nothing similar came. Somebody mentioned to use a PIT file in addition, but the other person who got his phone soft bricked didn't solve the problem either. As downloading a ROM is time consuming and I've got many problems with upload sites in china (cannot access to most of them), I would thank any help in regards this issue.

Sounds like your kernel isn't talking properly to your ROM.
A fresh start is your best bet. Flash a stock rom and kernel from Odin and reroot it with CF-Root.
What files are you putting into Odin? There should be a total of 4.
I'd also avoid the use of a .pit file. I haven't even seen the mention of one in all my time on the Note forum. I really don't think Samsung uses them the way they used to. (I used to have to flash one all the time when testing roms on the original galaxy tab.)

I am using official ROM N7000ZSLA2_N7000ZSLA2_N7000XLA4_HOME.tar.md5 into PDA and also tried ROM N7000XXKKA_N7000XEUKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5, which I used successfully in the past to make root into my phone.
Does it really make a difference to flash 4 separate files instead of a full pack? Where can I find an official ROM with pda radio and kernel separated? Just untar the ROM?

Oh, they do come into the Note; I flashed the Beta ICS, and one of the things they mention is to use the PIT file for the 16GB version, instead of the 32GB that comes with the leaked ROM. Unfortunately I deleted that ROM, and donwloading it is painfully slow and also wouldn't necessarily solve my problem as I couldn't even make a phone call.

True - the .pit file can change the size of the partition data... But that's not your problem. If the .pit file was the problem - you'd boot, but have 0 storage space (or something else wonky pertaining to your disk size.)
Open the tar up and make sure it has all the files in it. Should be 5.
I've attached a screenshot of the 5 file names. Make sure they are all in the .tar you are flashing.

Even i had similar problem after flashing Stock ROM using Odin (PC). Only thing i did is just rebooted in recovery and Wipe/factory Reset and Wipe cache. everything went fine.

Well, I finally managed to get my phone back. I was getting a lot of corrupted ROMS. I couldn't download your ROM as well; I managed to install the Beta ICS 4.0.3 which comes with a PIT for repartition, as I think the problem was that my booting partition was screwed.
Problem now is: that rom screws the phone and the keyboard, but at least I have my phone back.
Thank you

I have just recently dowloaded and installed the rom without problem. What do you mean by corrupted rom?

I too bricked my phone but after reading this guide (ABD wouldn't recognise my device so I couldn't follow it) I understood the partitions had become messed up.
I read somewhere about the PIT files.
I ODINed the ABYSS Kernal and PIT (Q1_20110914_16GB-patched) for my 16gb n7000 ticked the repartition box. It booted into CWM recovery and I used the restore and bingo.

Fix The problem
I had the same problem, the device got into start loop. JUST DO A FULL WIPE..! and the device should start normally. I worked for me.... :good:

[Q] Bricked LPY without wiping?

Hey guys,
I hope you can help me. I am aware of the ICS Kernel Bricking bug, and the faulty chip with the faulty firmware, as described on the xda portal, and I read all the stickies. Nevertheless I want to ask you for your opinion on this matter, to prevent turning my note into a brick
So thats what happend last night:
I was on LPY for about 1 month (since released) with root, stock kernel. Before I was on GB DarkyRom 3.3. Everything went normal until I made 2 changes the last hours:
1. I modified the build.prop with this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687156
2. I installed Super Video (like popup player on the galaxy s3) and had several freezes when I started to watch 2 videos. So I took out the battery like 4 times.
Phone booted normally. So I locked the screen, and went to a party.
Then I realized that within 2 Hours the battery got from 50% to 15%. I was too busy to look at betterbatterystats, so I just rebooted the phone with the stock Power Menu.
Now my phone won't boot anymore. It stucks on "Samsung Galaxy Note N-7000" Screen.
As I said, I have not wiped, or do anything with cwm or 3e recovery. However, I can get into DL mode and 3e recovery.
What can I do now? Flash LPF? Reflash LPY?
I read somewhere by someone, that it could be, that even without wiping, the phone can get brick at anytime... Did that happend to me?
I haven't tried to flash anything else, because I wanted to share this with you and get your opinion.
Thanks in advance
k!DDa

So now donot try anything.I suppose you were in darkyrom 3.3 re.If so,you should have known about the counter.So flash it and you will be fine.I again say it will increase counter if you use 3.3 re.
If you don't want the counter,flash a stock gb rom/stock-rooted gb rom.I prefer 3.3 re because it is a wipe rom

Hi vijai2011,
thanks for your answer but I was on darkyrom BEFORE I switched to LPY (that was just a side note^^)
> the last month, including today, I am on LPY, which isn't booting anymore.

thats not a problem.you can try.

wow you're fast^^
okay but isn't it possible to revive my note? e.g. just flashing a non wipe ICS version via PC ODIN (I do not care about the counter or triangle)
like criskelos ICS No wipe http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609252

the inability to boot you describe sounds like something a corrupted build.prop might cause so it's probably nothing to worry about. you'll need to restore your build.prop somehow, probably by flashing something in Odin

ok thanks, I will try. but one good and one bad thing:
I saved the original build.prop before
But on the internal SD card and not my external ^^

If you want to be absolute sure Flash a stock ICS (a full wipe version) rom from pc odin. If all goes well there is no brickissue for you. Then you root using Dr Ketans method.

No problem.As I said already its better to go for a wipe rom because of the repartition thing...

one last qustion,
I decided to reflash LPY. But it has only an tar.md5 file. I cannot use MobileOdin. Can I just put it in PDA at PC Odin? (Rename it before to .tar?)
The last 20 firmwares I flashed hadn't that extension.

[SOLVED] G7000 Stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000"

Hello!
First of all I've searched all the posts about this problem.. and personally I can't fix it.
So here is what I've done to brick my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (I think that's called a non-usable device).
Installed few ROMs and finally after taking some decisions I've returned back on ICS 4.0.3 (Flashed with ODIN 1.85).
Restored EFS with kTool (because ClearNotev5 did something wrong with my phone.. and discovered after few hours that I can restore EFS).
Updated ICS 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 using WIFI (OTA I think it's called) and BANG after restart phone stucked at Bootscreen.
So from yesterday untill now I've restored my phone to factory settings few times(GB 2.3.5 & 2.3.6/ICS 4.0.4),repartitioned with .pit files for N7000 16GB,installed different custom/stock ROMs and nothing.
I've discovered few minutes ago while triyng to make a factory restore (GB 2.3.5) that my phone stucked at data.img... I've read about this and it is said that I must change my N7000 motherboard.. I have no warranty so please help.. and sorry for my bad english

Read many times about ota harbrick, i think its not advisable to use ota for upgrade. Sorry for your loss.
Flash gb in pc odin, if sucessfull and still stuck in logo go to CWMR and perform 3 wipes. This is all advise i can give you.
And try different gb rom.

I think you had already tried the recovery method from a bricked device. So if you still facing problems you have to change the MB.

OTA Brick or Soft Brick?
I still haven't fix it but here is what I want:
Can someone give me different versions of GB (I've tried only one with CSC,MODEM but this now stops at data.img..) :crying:
I have to make a repartition to my phone? Will that help?
And can someone guide me through a tutorial step by step on how to revive my phone from EMMC Bug..?
PS: When I try to wipe data in CWM (using Hydracore Kernel v2.0b STD) with ICS 4.0.4 (Stock) my N7000 stucks,same for installing CleaNotev5.0 (stucks at Extracting\System).. But what is curios is that, I can clear Dalvik Cache and Cache, I can install Kernels and run N7000 in DOWNLOAD/CWM or stock Restore mode.
Any solutions?Please help..

You can try the post here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886&highlight=emmc
Just follow the step there.
I've experienced before, and revive it using this method. So far mine still work well, and no further error ever since.
You will loose certain GB on your internal storage. Which for me it's not a big deal. I'm kinda lazy to go to samsung repair center, unless my phone is totally dead.
Here is my step (follow at your own risk) :
1. You have to know first your N7000 is the 16GB or 32GB, and then you download the correct pit for your phone.
2. After you download, extract the zip file.
3. Since mine is the 16GB, I've picked this pit file to use (inside the zip) : Q1_20110914_16GB-patched-regain-0102400-kB.pit (the pit file will be vary depending on which sector your phone brick)
4. Put your phone on to download mode.
5. Open ODIN PC and connect your phone, and wait till ODIN say "Added" and you see that your phone has connected.
6. Put the patch pit file I choose, then put the samsung stock rom as the PDA (if you downloaded 1 file only for the stock ROM, if not, put properly for the PDA, Phone, and CSC).
7. Check ON the "repartition", "Auto-reboot", "F-reset time"
8. Click Start, and wait till the process has finished. Your phone should auto reboot by then.
9. My phone has recovered, and I lost 1GB internal storage.
One last thing, try not to do wipe on ICS, unless you are on a safe kernel like speedmod / GLNotecore.
For Hydracore (You may check with the developer), I haven't tested it yet for wiping. But for those speedmod and GLNotecore, is confirm safe kernel. I've tried these 2 for wiping.
PS : if you are not sure with my step on reviving with the pit file, I suggest you to read the link above from the OP for the pit revive method.
Good Luck !

Shouldn't be a problem. However, best to root current, then efs backup multiple locations. See dr ketans toolbox thread on how.
Your phones csc is also Romania? Best to stick with your phones csc and those country roms if you want to continue ota/kies updatability in the future Dial *#06# for emei and then *#272*yourimeihere# to find out 3 letter csc.

[Q] Soft Bricked N7000

I was trying to install Ultimate_N7000_LSC_JB_4.1.2_v5.1 on non-rooted device.
After booting into Recovery and installing CWM, i tried Data wipe/Factory reset.
(Battery was 100%)
The screen switched of suddenly and now i am stuck.
Here are somethings i have tried:
1) Tried flashing N7000DDLRB_N7000ODDLR4_N7000DDLR1_HOME.tar.md5 using ODIN. Never goes beyond NAND flashing (Tried in Admin mode, with ODIN Mode)
2) Tried flashing cm-9.1.0-n7000 and had status 0 and status 7 error many times.
Most of the flashing methods mention : "wipe data/Factory reset". Whenever i do that, i get stuck in "Wiping Data... .Formatting /data"
I have tried "Fix permissions", it wont work.
I didnt take a ROM backup and now i really regret it.
Currently when i navigate using CWM i can see all my internal as well as external memory files. So, i guess my OS is gone and files are still there.
The Custom Rom Counter says: Yes (Count 4) in ODIN mode.
Can someone help ? Please i am desperate.

What rom you on before flashing?..GB or ICS?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

ICS 4.0.4
I had not done any Modifications, rooting to my N7000 before yesterday.
Would like to go back to Any ROM.
Unrooted ROM (ICS 4.0.4), Leaked JB Rom, CM9, CM10. Any ROM. Just want to get my phone up and running

What error do you get when flashing with Odin?
Does it stop at "factoryfs.img"?
How did you install CSM on your stock Rom ICS 4.0.4?

Your "soft bricked" sounds more like "super bricked" to me.. Did you use CWM.zip to wipe?
Tapatalking on my n7000

Yes. I used CWM.zip.
But now that my phone is not working, how do know what is the firmware version?

What does xxxx stand for? I have the Serial No. of my phone. And have done normal OTA updates only.
Brought from flipkart in August (if it helps narrow down the xxxx)
Superbricked or soft, please help.
Just downloaded some CWM file (Sorry i searched a lot, i couldnt remember the source)
Here are the steps:
Flash it with Odin 1.85, (Click PDA, choose the file and press Start)
After this you will have Root on your phone.
Now you can go into CWM and flash the Rom.
1) Download Ultimate XXLSC Jelly Bean 4.1.2 custom ROM for Galaxy Note to the PC
2) Connect the device to PC using USB cable and transfer the downloaded ROM zip file to the phone's SD card
3) Unplug the USB cable from the phone and then turn it off
4) Enter into Recovery mode by switching on the phone while pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power buttons together
5) In CWM Recovery, perform a full data wipe
Here is where it suddenly stopped and the screen went blank. (I am double sure battery was 100%)
Thanks for the prompt replies

If you have warranty then claim it.. Super brick means that the emmc chip it's burned.. There's some methods to get it to partially work but you lose around 3Gb of memory and generally you can not use TW roms.. Or at least stock TW.. Not to mention the random reboots and freezes..
So most likely if you don't have warranty then use the pit file method or pay for a motherboard replacement..

Here's the current status: Running 4.1.2 (XXSLO, ZSLM5). Unrooted and stock ROM. (Updated from 4.0.3 to 4.1.2 in kies)
Everything is back. The phone runs good. But when i try installing any software, it will freeze. The apk/app installs eventually but after 2-3 reboots.
Can you tell me the issue?
I read it somewhere that the "Cache" partition is damaged.
Can someone please tell me any way to avoid freezes.

If you have warranty then claim it.. Super brick means that the emmc chip it's burned.. There's some methods to get it to partially work but you lose around 3Gb of memory and generally you can not use TW roms.. Or at least stock TW.. Not to mention the random reboots and freezes..
So most likely if you don't have warranty then use the pit file method or pay for a motherboard replacement..

[Q] bricked N7000. how to get working again

I tried upgrading my international N7000 to CM10.3 following the instructions in
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_n7000
but now the phone won't even boot into the recovery, all it shows is
Samsung
GALAXY Note
GT-N7000

When i tried flashin from my Mac iusing Heimdall,
the download finished on the mac, but on the N7000
it still showed the blue line etc. I waited a lng time and tried
rebooting, but got the above.
Re-flashing in Heimdall had no effect.
I then tried flashing
hardcore-speedmod-ics-recovery-n7000.tar
using Odin 3.185 from my VMwars Fusion XP install,
and that seemed to finish ok, but no luck either.
I looked for the latest CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery, but I cannot find any
odin-flashable format for it, and of course I cannot use the sdcard
as I cannot even boot into any recovery as is.
Can anyone suggest next steps?

1st things 1st. Why would u use heimdall or odin? And what is your current ROM before trying to flash CM 10.3, was it stock? You should have looked for CWM recovery or Philz safe kernels as base when doing ROM flashing ESPECIALLY custom roms. From what you said, then can you still boot into download mode? I have no knowledge of heimdall so just download Stock Firmware, flash it with odin and see if you can boot your N7000 first.
The worst case scenarios is you are experiencing emmc bug-brick. go to the thread and read carefully to deduce your type of 'brick' and find solutions there. Good Luck.

I was on a stock 4.0.4 (but rooted). I originally tried flashing the cwm from the sd card, but after starting to load it it also just hung,
so I looked for an alternative..
I found a post on stockroms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997) but the links all point to hotfile.com. which my browser says it cannot find. is hotfile dead? Is there an alternative?

Go to sammymobile.com if I'm not wrong. Download the stock firmware there. Rooted but do u have cwm installed? Rooted doesn't mean you have cwm installed.

I'm sorry so did u succeed or did you not succeed in installing the custom rom? If your custom rom boots fine then all u need is to search for solving status 7 error thread. My advice to all noobs is to always try n avoid installimg anything except stock rom in odin. Always read and re read before flashing anything that's beyond your knowledge. Basic knowledge of flashing cusroms is :
1. ALWAYS make sure you're on SAFE and COMPATIBLE KERNEL. Most rom threads ALWAYS Include threads/links to a specific recovery/kernel to use. Read n RE READ that.
2. Wipe everything IN RECOVERY mode before flashing a rom.

If you're able to boot up properly n prompted to wipe, then do it. But do it in recovery not on device.

Ok, I downloaded one of the stock kernels for my internatinal N7000, but flashing that with Odin 3.185 hangs about 3/4 through (has now been
sitting there for >60 mins).
Looks like I am screwed?
The file I found is KIES_HOME_N7000XXLT4_N7000OXALT4_1103517_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
I f I wanted to try flashing this with Heimdall, I'd need to know partition numbers I think
Where can I get those?
Or should I get another file?

Before that, do u have KIES installed? KIES is NOT compatible with odin and will cause potential trouble. So is some firewall and antivirus apps. You need to disable all of them before using odin. Please search the thread http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for stock rom site.

Ok. I downloaded two stock roms from sammobile:
[email protected] 1 mathias staff 808649674 May 9 10:53 N7000XXLT5_N7000MBCLT1_MBC.zip
[email protected] 1 mathias staff 750466356 May 9 10:50 N7000XXLRL_N7000OXELR5_MBC.zip
but both fail with some (unreadable, apparently character set issue) error under ODIN.
I found this:
http://droidangel.blogspot.sg/2012/01/samsung-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-all.html
which shows how to do a full flash , including PIT file, but the links again go to hotfile which seems to be down.
http://hotfile.com/dl/140099962/b9e0d63/Q1-20110914_16GB.pit.rar.html
Where can I get a) separate

MODEM_N7000xxxxxx_REV_00_CLxxxxxx.tar.md5
GT-N7000-CSC-MULTI-xxxxxx.tar.md5
and the PIT file?

Of course you fail... When using ODIN, U should have downloaded the .tar. if you downloaded a zip. then unzip it first to get the tar file, then you flash it with odin. All requests are included in the stock.tar And PLEASE DO NOT Play with PIT files if you don't know what you are doing.
So now what you need to do is. :
1. DISABLE KIES (Uninstall it better), Your firewall, antivirus.
2. Install CORRECT Samsung USB driver. (Search keyword "download samsung N7000 usb drivers")
3. Unzip your zip file and extract the tar.file.
4. Run ODIN as Administrator (Right click/run as)
5. Go to download mode. connect your device to Pc/laptop.
6. Wait until Odin detects your device, click AP/PDA and choose the tar file you extracted.
7. DO NOT tick partition.
8. Let it run

Of course I unzipped the zip to get a SINGLE .tar.md5, but flashing that fails on factoryfs about 3/4 through. consistently.

Try updating your odin. Use the newest vers. And try and read this https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNGd2e3iG5hkDeo0KyAjGuCSfQSLUw . If All fails then it's a confirmed SUPER-BRICK and there's nothing except samsung service centre can help you now... Sorry for not being able to help more..

Thanks. That led me to

FileServe can only be used to download and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally.
which makes it useless for finding ROMs...
