Please read this first:
I was able to reset the binary counter and remove the yellow triangle by using the method described in #13 of this thread, but you should understand that my phone was already soft-bricked. As you will know from reading posts #18 and #21, that the Angelom kernel 1.2 should be used to reset your binary counter and remove the yellow triangle, ONLY WHEN your device is ALREADY bricked, otherwise you may brick your working device. Be cautioned.
Original post:
I have been struggling for two days now with an issue of some kind of brick. Without going into whether it is a soft brick or a hard brick, this is how my situation is:
- I can boot into download mode
- I can boot into stock recovery mode
- I am unable to flash any ROM as all of them get stuck at factoryfs
- I flashed several kernels, stock as well as custom, and the latest kernel I flashed was a CF kernel
- After flashing the CF kernel, I saw the yellow triangle at the Samsung boot prompt and the flash counter increased by 1
- I flashed a stock kernel over the CF kernel which made the yellow triangle go away, but I still have the flash count increased
I do not wish to go for any trial and error methods now, so I am thinking of sending my Note to Samsung for repairs. Can someone help me with resetting the flash counter to 0? I do not wish to sound impatient, but I really do not have much time to wait for the JIG solution, so if someone can help with resetting the flash counter without using JIG, it would greatly help.
I have insurance on my phone and I bought the phone a week ago. Please also let me know if I can use my insurance if Samsung decides to charge me. Ideally, I would like a replacement, as it is a confirmed bug from Google that caused my phone to be bricked, and also since I have had the phone only for a week, but I don't know how to convince the seller I need a new phone, as they will try to get it fixed and return the same back.
Is there anything else other than the flash counter that I should wipe/reset before sending it to Samsung? I took a Nandroid backup of a stock odexed GB ROM last week which is under a folder called "CWM". Is the CWM folder in the internal storage (USB storage) or the external SD card? If it is in internal, how do I wipe it? My phone doesn't have any battery so I can't check the location of CWM folder myself.
Thanks.
If you can still enter download mode, there is hope to flash a stock rom.You need the pit file,matching your device version(16 or 32 gb). Also a bootloader wouldn't hurt to have around.
I got 3 errors when i first tried to flash my note,but i solved it with the pit file.Just google for it.

I have tried flashing stock ROMs but none of them came with a PIT file or a bootloader. I have tried installing a stock bootloader too, by itself, but nothing allows me to go beyond factoryfs. Are you saying flashing a stock ROM with a matching PIT can make the difference?

Thanks, I know about it, but I do not have the time to buy the JIG, wait for it and try it out on my device, if that's what you refer to. I am in a time crunch as my 15 days of purchase of this phone will be complete next week, and beyond that I wouldn't get any special privileges from the seller. This is why, I am looking for a method that involves flashing using Odin or stock CWM. It's a long shot, but I am hoping someone can help.
Jig is the only way for you to reset the counter on a bricked phone, sorry.
Wasnt there a kernel that Angelom did to reset the flash counter on his superbricks with Team Rocket ICS?
Maybe dig up the old thread in the dev section and check. It was a quick and dirty to reset counter and make it official again.

Yes, you are right! I completely forgot about that.

Use the pit for your version (16 or 32 gb).

Thanks hkgrob, Chasmodo and kimitza. I appreciate it.
So do I need to just flash the 16 GB (I have 16 GB Note) PIT file using Odin and that should reset the flash counter? Just want to make sure I am doing it right.
Edit: I just flashed the 16 GB PIT file using 1.85 PC Odin along with a stock kernel, but the counter has not reset. Also, there is no kernel file, that hkgrob mentioned, in the zipped attachment.
I am not able to find the kernel through search. Could someone upload the kernel which would reset the counter? I will try again after that. Thanks.

No, flashing pit file will not reset your counter. Angelom 1.2 kernel will, but as I said
I will give you the DL tomorrow (if someone else doesnt post it first).

Yes, that's what I figured. I found a link to this kernel in this thread and downloaded it, but it's an ICS kernel, which is also supposed to reset the counter. Is this the one you talk about? And, if it is the right kernel, I guess I should flash it with the PIT file with PC Odin. Correct?
I am on stock GB recovery - for your information.
If anyone else can post the kernel before Chasmodo does, that would be great. Thanks.
A little diversion: For some reason the stock recovery shows there are no files on my SD card, while other recoveries do. Is this supposed to be this way? With stock recovery, I am unable to access anything on my SD card.
I will post this as a separate thread, as it does not fit as an edit in my previous post.
I found this thread, and got encouraged to flash the ICS kernel which the OP in that thread also found. Flashing the ICSTest kernel by Angelom rebooted with a yellow triangle at the Samsung prompt and booted into touch CWM. I rebooted the phone using the reboot option on CWM. With the reboot, the triangle is gone and the binary counter says "No." So, I think mission accomplished for now.
Will there be a way Samsung to tell now if I ever flashed custom recoveries, ROMs and kernels or that phone was rooted before the Google-admitted bug screwed everything up?

Just flash a stock kernel now, and they probably won't be able to tell that you ever used any custom stuff.
No need to removed the counter & triangle, just send it back to SSC, they will fix it for you, because they already know the reason you send it back, cheer up!

Chasmodo, I have already flashed a stock kernel and am trying to use adb, but I am almost certain I will send it to Samsung. Adb results in "/bin/sh...:No such file...(2)".

No. Angelom 1.2 will reset your counter, but it will also give you a hard brick in
no time at all. It is to be used to reset the counter only in cases where a hard brick is already there, sorry.
Thanks a lot. Bookmarked this page in case if I need it in future.

Is that true that flashing the Angelom 1.2 will hard brick a phone if it's not already bricked? Is that kernel not useful for any ROMs? I am curious because if that's true, I will change the title of my thread.
Hi,
I came from an LG 2x, so I thought rooting my device in order to have some extra authorizations was no big deal. I first tried with pc software Unlockroot, but it failed in the process.
Being my GB 236 Note quite dirty I wanted to do some extra backup and cleanup. So I googled and stopped at rootyourgalaxynote.com, I tried the first ROOT method, not working, I tried the second method with pc ODIN 3.04 and abyss kernel 42, ODIN says it worked, note reboots but it stops at Samsung galaxy Note Gt-N7000 with yellow triangle. shocked, I didnt really expect that! After reading a little bit else, I went to sammobile downloaded italian gb 236 stock (the version I had befor kernel flashing) and tried to flash with PC Odin. It Failed. Device still gets in download mode. But now I'm seriously worried. What can I do?
[UPDATE]: I tried using Odin 1.85 and the same gb 236 stock rom but it stops half the factoryfs.img flashing...please explain me what's happening. I don't really want to bring it in assistance and lose my warranty

First you should t have flash abyss through odin since now you are not rooted and do t have the warranty too, the counter of flashes increased to 1 (look at the download mode small text), for rooting you can use chainfire's tool (in the cf-root kernel thread look for it in devolepment section) next get a stock rooted kernel and flash using the tool (read instructions).
For now use pc odin 1.87 and get a firmware 2.3.6 use the pc odin select the file on PDA and flash it, make sure phone is charged 100% and press start, if it doesn't work then uninstall drivers, reboot machine, reinstall them and kill kies process if present in task manager and then goto download mode connect USB and open pc odin wait for the port to be ready aka green and select file then start.... you should be fine its a soft brick afterall.

Yeah I know atm I don't have system nor root nor warranty.
I tried odin 1.87 with the stock rom from sammobile but at one point or another is it cache.img or factoryfs.img, it fails (I also uninstalled kies and drivers and reinstalled them, i also tried installing only drivers, for at&at note, but it doesn't let me). I'm gonna download another stock rom, I just hope in some way I soon solve the thing, given that I also don't know how much charge is left and if the phone still gets charged. it just displays an idle circle near an empty battery when connected to pc or A\C cable.

When connected to charger make sure phone is off the battery meter will show as soon as you connect, case it doesnt leave it for like 3 hours is fine... next about that ROM redownload. The package cleanup you temp directories in PC and try again if still goto recovery abyss I guess? Wipe everything and use the mount option and format partitions I would recommed you to have repartition but I dont have the file you can look for ot in forum its. PIT file download fireup odin select it in PIT section and see if repartitioning is shocked, of so select firmware as PDA and flash again.

Thx for your prompt answer, but I really didn't catch this part, if it still fails I must go in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache?I don't have CWM installed as rooting was the first flashing I tried on NOTE, so I don't have recovery installed. Since it stopped in the middle of flashing factoryfs.img, my Note is now displaying sth like 'updrading went wrong, try recovery mode in Kies': can it help in anyway? The PIT file and procedure are the same that are used for the EMMC bug?

Hi REVERSIN,
Thx. I was starting to fear it could be sth more than a soft brick. Can the initial use of unlockroot have caused anything (at least a week ago, Note still working after that)?
Sorry but I really can't understand what procedure should I follow since these initial attempts at flashing stocks failed. Should I try to flash CWM? What is the ISS root section (is it in the forum)? Where can i do a normal recovery wipe from? CWM I guess..
THX for your help

If you have the stock recovery, restore default wipes everything.
If you have stock re every and want CWM temporary just to wipe goto n7000 devolepment and check how to root by dr.ketan and get files there
If you have CWM then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.... and try. Old download another firmware like kk5.... something else not the new LC1 LX1 releases.... (Latest GB) get an old one to get root easly

Hi and sry if my post is like many others, but i need strait answers for my particular software version.
So i am running Galaxy Note N7000 is rooted and unlocked with Galaxy_S Unlock apk i think (was locked on SRF France)
Android Version :2.3.6
Baseband version :N7000BUKK1
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566
[email protected] #2
Build number :GINGERBREAD.XXKKA
My question is:
Can i upgrade the software from the phone menu Software Upgrade? it is always asking me if i want to install or not.
Can i brick my phone using this method?
If i manage to get ICS on the device will i still be able to use unlock .apk on 4.0.x ?
I use vodafone romania sim
Should i use Odin or Kies or phone upgrade from menu?
Ihave downloaded all the stock roms for my country and carrier (Vodafone)
BTW mobile odin said there is something wrong with my partition, and emmc check will leave black screen and crash after a few seconds (is this something to be worried?)
What method do you guys recommend ?
Thanx in advance !

I asked if the unlock apk is compatible with ICS also...but i will find out soon )

Just read first line on my signature and flash ICS using Odin
I recommend go clean(first wipe cache and data before flashing ICS) and don't wipe once you are on ICS stock kernel
After this find second link on my sign and use method 1A/1B to root.
No need to use pit, though detail instruction is there on my thread

Let me get this right:
1 go to CMWR and clear data and cash, then exit, reboot
2.go into download mode vol - + home+ power
3 connect odin and select the rom into pda
4 hit start and let it do its job, it will reboot into the new ics after that.
then my phone will probably have ICS running but no root and so i cannot use unlock apk, only if i IMEI unlock it so i can stay on stock all the way.
So after i flash stock ics using odin i shall never do a hard reset on my phone even if i do not root it?
thanx for patience and help
correct me if i am wrong at any steps.
thanx again

1. yes You are on GB ROM, so safe
2.OK
3.OK
4.Not probably but it will boot to ROM which you have flash.
If you have network lock, then you have to Root your device to unlock it.
For that use 2nd link on my signature to root it.
Again here one more thin i have to clear
If you select ICS 4.0.4 to flash, then direct network unlock won't work.
For this refer to 'Toolbox' in my signature and follow tool No 18 and then 17
In case of 4.0.3, Tool No 17 only will be fine.

Should i flash Hydracore v5 kernel with odin after my odin upgrade to stock ics just to be sure that no brick bug will happen to my note if i ever do a HW reset?
Yes safe kernel always safe.
Flashing kernel with Odin raise flash counter.
You can flash phillz kernel (which is also safe) from stock recovery. If you want to flash hydracore or any other later you can flash with phillz recovery without raising counter.

After flashing through Odin, allow it to reboot the device. Odin will boot the phone, after the flashing process is success. So just try once again.

Its probably not a hard brick, because you still get the Download Mode/Recovery. Anyways you would've got more replies if you had posted it in Galaxy Note GT-N7000 forums, as it is more kind of device-specific question.

Mother of all thread is given below.
Just use PC ODIN, download your region file and get your phone to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Or check Ketan signature and download the pre-rooted rom and install the same. Once rooted you can update your kernal to Hydracore and then proceed with any wipe and install.
If post flashing the stock using ODIN is stuck in boot, you potentially have a hard brick which requires mother board replacement.
Take it to samsung service and if under warranty they will replace the MB for free.

Or check Ketan signature and download the pre-rooted rom and install the same. Once rooted you can update your kernal to Hydracore and then proceed with any wipe and install.
If post flashing the stock using ODIN is stuck in boot, you potentially have a hard brick which requires mother board replacement.
Take it to samsung service and if under warranty they will replace the MB for free.

Noted thanks, I check this method
Hi
Need help , please
1) I had to get gingerbread 2.3.6 on my phone and full root before cvxcvx could restore my imei. I did this and rooted With abyss kernel. The Method I used did the following. I got the triangle and binary Counter was set to 1. Now I have emei but I cant get my phone to update to jb because of this. Now I did not found out any other way to root gingerbread.
Then I flashed Gingerbread once again using Odin With gingerbread tar file, Nordic countries. Afterwards it restarted as it suppose to do. I tapped my sim pincode when promted. Now nothing happened to my phone other than that I lost my root. The sms and historik data is still there. but the triangle is gone but my binary Counter is still active, thus I cant get the Samsung jb update.
1) think I now should do a wipe data/ factory reset and then continued to 2)?
( I wanted to use this Method to resett my binary Counter by using triangle away: video cursed4eva ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa-t-8ypcYs ) written description ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1494114). But does only work With Stock kernel. I have rooted With abyss kernel which is custum if I am not wrong. This is the only way I know to root gingerbread on my Note. )
I also have Stock firmware ics Nordic countries which I want to flash using Odin. And this I can root With philz kernel which is Stock I think. And then I can go on With resetting binary Counter(video above cursed4eva).
2) I want to get my Stock ics on my phone using odin.
NOW THE MAIN QESTION IS DO I HAVE TO ROOT GINGERBREAD WHITH ABYSS KERNEL AGAIN SO THAT I CAN FLASH STOCK ICS USING ODIN OR CAN I JUST FLASH ICS WITH ODIN WITHOUT A ROOT? OR SAID ANOTHER WAY DO I NEED ROOT TO FLASH ICS USING ODIN?
Hope You can answer me 1) and 2)
There is no need of root for flashing with odin. While you are on GB rom, do a factory reset. (will loose data). Then flash with stock ICS. Do not wipe while on stock ICS kernel. Once flashing is done, use Philz kernel to root.

Hi
Ok I did a factory resett on GB and then I flashed ics using odin(Odin3-v1.85). . when on Stock ICS kernel i did not do a wipe/faktory resett. I then went right to root my phone With philz kernel With this kernel on ext. sd card( Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed ) using Method volum up , Power, home and then selected update from ext. sd card and so on. Now I tried to Connect to network and it does not Connect. i still have imei. when I go
into settings and mobile network. When I tap network operators it only finds network operators like , Telenor, Netcome, mobile Norway but not Onecall(which I am using). Then I tap Select automatically, I then get a Message in small letters on my screen saying; network registered (googled mobile norway + onecall, and it seems that Onecall is getting their net from Telenor and mobile norway, thats somehow I get the Message registered on network I think). So I am able to download the JB update from Samsung over wifi (I have downloaded but of course not run it?), but I dont get to Connect to mobilnetwork and surf With f.ex my net-browser.
What do I do now? Og back to GB and see If it function again? Or just go on to resett my binary Counter or do the jb update which I have downloaded.
If I am to go to resett my binary Counter. I wanted to use this Method to resett my binary Counter by using triangle away: video cursed4eva ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa-t-8ypcYs ) written description ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1494114). I seems a bit scary that I gonna totally brick my phone and have to replace the hole mainboard. but I am running out of options it seems.
Have to say loosing imei has been and still is a true nightmare. promblems doent seem to stop
