Super Bricked My Galaxy Note (Binary Count =0)

I super bricked (no download mode or recovery mode) my Galaxy Note while restoring from CWM backup last night, I had LP8 installed, binary count is 0.
I have already sent it to the Samsung Service Center, question is: what should I expect??
FYI : My motherboard had been replaced 2 times already earlier due to emmc bug.

What on earth are you doing to consistently brick it? If you're under warranty then you should be ok - given that the emmc is a known issue which they're aware of..
On a side note, I'd suggest not being so flash happy and a little more reading before you mess around..
Good luck..

I was tryin to get navigation bar like that in Nexus, had created a backup if smthin went wrong, I haven't flashed any custom ROM, and ya its under warranty, and I have decided I'll be buying only Nexus series from now on

Good thing you have warranty, but still bricking it 3 times now, I wouldn't want my device on the service center it's inconvenient and really not worth wasting my time, I'd rather be very careful flashing than going to the service center for repairs. But anyways that's my opinion. It's your device and you can do whatever you want with it

Please have a look here, before you transform your note into a brick... for the 4th time

I don't understand how anyone can brick more than once! It's just plain stupidity.

No I didn't do it on purpose, I had followed steps for flashing ParanoidAndroid ROM, I flashed a stock GB ROM as asked, but in both attempts I got my phone soft bricked, is there any guide you can suggest for a fool-proof way of flashing without bricking??

There is no known method of Flashing without the chances of Bricking the phone.. I suggest you read the instructions thoroughly before attempting to brick your phone... Again!

Than I guess I'll have to stick with the stock ROM and wait for next Nexus to be launched, I had GSII previously and flashed ROMs without any worry, and fyi I did follow every instructions, I'm not a noob

There is a safe way to flash, this is why a lot of people do it successfully...
My thoughts are that you followed instruction to a degree.. If you're on a Stock GB there's no fear of Brickbug at all...
I am wondering if you flashed Abyss in ICS - or did not reboot recovery after installing Abyss....
Which steps did you follow and which ROM, I've flashed PA without issue after downgrading to GB via PC ODIN, Rooting with SpeedMod and then flashing PA..

I don't think Galaxy Nexus is coming to India ever. You should probably get it imported or ask some relative to get it for you.

You did not follow the steps.
Stock ICS kernel had the bug that will brick your phone.
Always instal a safe kennel, reboot into recovery and then wipe, then instal new ROM

Restoring in cwm under ics kernel triggers brick bug. This has been documented since the bug was found and is all outlined in the stickies all over the forum. I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for someone bricking for a third time, there's just no excuse for this short sightedness.

Flash a kernel any other way besides Odin?

I am curious if I can flash a kernel from CWM. For some reason I can't get my phone to show up in Odin and I have tried different USB ports as well as different cables. I am currently running Slim Bean with the kernel it came with. Just looking to swap it out for the devil kernel the thread recommended for a smoother feel.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

That's the main way you flash a kernel. Just get the .zip file and flash it through recovery.

Thank you sir. I figured it was possible that way I just read a couple posts indicating flashing through recovery wasn't the best idea.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

If anyone else happens to read this and is considering doing the same thing with the Slim Bean ROM just know it went through what I thought was going to be a boot loop. It booted to the devil kernel screen, then flashed up the at&t screen before returning to the kernel screen then it booted without problem.

fixed it by flashing speedmod kernel.

It's a known issue. ICS 4.0.4 Bluetooth doesn't work on custom kernel. But speedmod (since k3-9) and Notecore has fixed it.

if your using speedmod kernel versions prior to k3-9... you can't hold on your BT for a long time..it would just turn off for brief seconds... its a known issue on lower versions of the speedmod kernel... install speedmod k3-9 and higher and your BT will be fine.

i have installed stock GB, then updated to ICS thru kies, everything Stock....still BT doesn't work...
u are saying if i put a custom kernel it will?
is it safe to flash that speedmod over stock kernel?

Nop it should work on stock.. If it doesn't work on stock it won't work on anything

Hello all, I was running Rocketrom v10 on my Note with notecore v13 kernel. Everything was going great, but decided to Gove phone to my wife (got myself an s3), so I went into the phone menu and chose factory reset. It seemed to work, but now it won't boot, the galaxy note screen loads, then it just gels blank. I couldn't get into recovery, but I could get into downloader, so I successfully flashed a pre rooted GB Rom in Odin, everything worked, Odin reported it passed, and the phone rebooted, but again it goes to the galaxy note screen, then just goes blank. I'm at a total loss, still can't get into recovery ( in saying that with the new GB Rom I'm not sure that recovery is installed-I followed the guide in the forum) I'm at the stage where I am pulling my hair out. If I could get to recovery I know I could wipe everything, but I can't been do that. Any help would be massively appreciated

You had been on Notecore kernel and now have flashed GB rom successfully. That mean you are not having any dangerous kernel for now.
Should go into recovery, wipe cache and data then reboot system.
If it still not working well then try to flash another GB rom (should be able to download from Dr.Ketan's thread. cheers.

Cheers for the reply, but I can't boot into recovery, doing thenwhole volume up plus home button plus power, no joy. Getting balder by the minute

Glad you got out of it. Normally, unless experiencing superbrick which is quite rare, any symptoms like this are redeemable.

Chrack´s JB 4.1.1 XXLS2 DBT Rom Flash issue

Hello
I'm very keen to install and try this ROM, but I'm having a strange issue. I flash Phil's kernel first, reboot recovery, wipe and install which all goes fine. When aroma install is complete and phone reboots I get the white Samsung screen for 30 seconds or so then phone seems to reboot itself, screen goes black briefly then Samsung logo reappears for a second and I get dumped back into Phil's CWM recovery.
I have checked MD5 of ROM download, no problem there. I've tried different versions of the install from aroma (lite version etc). Not really sure what I'm doing wrong. No one else in his thread has reported problems like mine. Anyone with ideas?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

try with hydracore kernel

Well turns out the md5 didn't match up. I had checked it after downloading and all was good, but something must have gone wrong on copying it over to my SD card. My fault. Up and running now though and it's a great ROM!
