Strange problem, please help. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
Let me 1st tell you what i did and how.
I tried to install Paranoid Android, But when it was not succeded, Bymistake to solve that stuck problem, i used darkside scripts of super wipe and cache wipe many times, and later i came to know, those were not made for galaxy note.
So flashed STOCK GB again via odin, rooted it, but when i tried to Install custom Anidroid, It got stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 "
So i asked in forums, and one of senier member told me, that " when you installed darkside scripts which was not for Note, IT might had screwed your partitions. May be you need to flash again STock GB with four files like PIT, PDA, CSC and PHONE"
So i need help for
1) How to know if i have really screwed up partitions or not? (Bacause of Darkside Scripts). Beacuse Stock GB still works fine but not custom.
2) If it is, then how to re-partition? as i have only one file for stock GB firmware.
3) If i want STOCK GB firmware? then where will i get Stock firmware'sfour file, including .pit file?
4) I am willing to install Paranoid Android or Anidroid (PA is priority) So what steps i should follow now?
Now my phone is working fine on STock GB, but please help me finiding anwers ofabove quetions.
Thank You.

This is much easier , just flashing the already edited pit file , it has the fix for your partition , but by doing this you will reduce your internal storage capacity , may be by 2 to 3 GB

I would prefer manual way, as i could check 1st if there are any bad blocks or not, coz i am still not sure about it, but i am afraid, because last time i removedthat binary count with traingle away app, but now this tar file will also put that again, and my phone is only 15 days old, so i am afraid of loosing warrenty. Will this definately work? manual method? and can i later just remove that explanation mark and count by same way i did last time? also if i found any damaged blocks then what should i do? that post says if you have warrenty do not repartition, but then what i should tell people at service center so that they can help me without charging money?

Well I am afraid to say that you don't have your warranty right now . If you take your phone yo Samsung service centre in the current condition I.e with the exclamation mark they will simply reject your warranty claim . You can not even say a word to them after that

Sorry, there is also way is given to remove that explanation mark. But one doubt, do this procedure needs rooted phone? coz i dont have rooted phone, its stock GB firmware. and if i insatll this kernal, do i need to again flash my stock gb rom though i do not found any damages?

Wait I don't think you have the brick bug or you have bricked your phone . You can successfully flash gb from via PC Odin right?

N I don't think thus procedure needs a rooted phone . You just have to flash the new kernel via Odin which let's you access the files via adb . And then start editing
. You must have android sdk installed in a proper manner else adb won't work . You must set the environment variable in your computers operating system and see to it that adb recognised your phone. Trust me its not that simple . Its extremely risky, one step wrong your phone is totally dead

Then I don't think you have hard bricked your phone . Cheers . One of the symptoms of hard bricked phone is that you can't flash any from via PC Odin ..it will get stuck at factory fs stage
---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------
I have a very good suggestion, don't mess with the partitions if you are a noob . The best thing I can ask you to do right now is flash a pit file using PC Odin . Select proper pit file depending on whether you have 16gb or 32 gb . I have the pit file for 16 gb if you want. Can attach it . And download checkrom revo HD v6 rom. Its one of the best pre rooted gingerbread rom

Ok, So what to do? Now i am having Stock GB Rom installed, and working fine with 11.00 GBf free internal space, its not even rooted, nor any explanation mark or binary count, so though i am programmer and i know these things , but still should i really go for this procedure? just to install paranoid android? what will be your opinion? or i should send you screenshots of current system and you can guide me for exact procedure to do from right now for paranoid android?

Its your call . If you want to try new roms then you can flash a new pit file and try installing new roms . But before you install any rom I want you to flash a pre rooted gb rom via clock work mod recovery

And I personally don't suggest anyone to follow those procedure . You must be brave enough to try those procedure cos it has extreme risk factor . So try flashing new 16gb pit file and try checkrom or if you are happy with the gingerbread rom then let it be . And if you don't have exclamation mark on boot screen and binary flash count set to 0, you can simply hand over your phone to Samsung service center and ask them to upgrade your phone to ics . They will do it for free

which pit file i need to install? that one which will reduce it to 2-3 gb of space or the original pit file for samsung gt N7000 16 gb, also how will i flash pre rooted rom? means 1st pit file via odin and later prerooted rom with cwm? also can you provide me link for prerooted rom and pit file to download?

Try filling your internal memory to full capacity

The edited pit file is only for hard bricked galaxy note . Why do you want to reduce your internal memory size by precious 3 GB ??????
i have attached 16 GB origianl pit file
http://checkrom.com/download/
this is for pre rooted checkrom revo hd , yu need clockworkmod recovery to flash this , you cant flash it via pc odin

If your phone is not rooted yet , then root the stock gingerbread rom , and get the clockworkmod recovery and then flash checkrom

open pc odin , click on pit file and select the pit file extracted from rar , and check repartition and hit flash . I dont know whether it will increase binary counter. The repartition check box should be ticked . And if you are thankful hit thanks button Before rooting

-can access adb
- ODIN behave same CWM, operation work but no change.
can anyone help me guys?
i did repartition the memory useing PIT for note butno change also
thank you all in advance
anyone may share an idea?
Try wipeing everything in cwm including all formats in mounts and storage and then flash a stock rom try kk9 with Odin then re root with kk9 root then if on gb use a jig to remove triangle or if going on ics try using triangle away from chainfire

i tried this steps using N7000OJPLA1 without success, what the spicial in KK9?
do you aware about tool stronger than Odin please? i used to flash with PIT file but odin couldn't call the memory to re-partition it.
do you think the counter if counted (1) and the triangle if appeared could prevent the system from even saving and keeping the settings which you may do? such WiFi On if make it off and restart its going back on, the rom in device now is stock rom GB.

The counter and yellow triangle need to be removed for warrenty purpose if you need to send the phone back and Odin normally is the saviour of most problems NEVER flash with Odin and mark the repartition as that alone can brick your device and I use kk9 cause it can directly be rooted easily and the counter and triangle have nothing to do with your setting
Also try a rom in Odin with a pit file to see if that helps

here you go mate try this
Get Heimdall, put your note in download mode. Go to the utility page, under "download as a file" click "save as", in the dialog put "galaxynote.pit". This will download the pit from the phone. Now you can untar the odin package (which might contain a pit too, in this case, you'd want to use that one), go to the flash tab of heimdall and select the pit you made (or got from the odin package, if it came with one), and add partitions and add the files from the odin tarball you extracted.

i think my device problem like that, the new kernel effected the internal memory by bad script which prevent the memory to deal with any operation, since the kernel in the same block with boot loader, so every time device boot load the kernel so run that bad script.
- anyway to remove the kernel files manually?
- how to stop kernel in boot at least so could do something through CWM or Odin.?

Any fix for emmc bug yet?

Hello, 2 make a long story short, I wipe data in cwm5 while on "CF-LPY KERNEL" on ICS(OFFICIAL RELEASE) . And now I can't flash stock rom from both ics & gingerbread. Keep getting stuck @ FACTORYFS.IMG in odin. And I can't access cwm5 anymore and whenever I turn my phone back on it reads " FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AND ISSUE, PLEASE GO TO RECOVERY IN KIES & AND TRY AGAIN". And kies is not recognizing my device any insight on this particular issue will help and be greatly appreciated, and one more thing, will a jtag service be beneficial in my situation or I have no choice but to get a new motherboard for my device? And where exactly can I purchase one being that I'm in the united states with no warranty
You can try to flash with pc odin 1.85 a GB rom with .pit file

Did you have a warranty? And where did u go?
If any of you with this brick can still flash kernels, try to flash the LPF CF-Root Kernel with CWM included. Then boot into CWM and within the "mounts and storage" menu, try to run the options "mount /system" and "mount /data". If i for myself try these two mounts, CWM tells me that it cannot find these two folders ("/system" and "/data").
btw: you can go back to original kernel by using the official method explained here
So in this case as some people here mentioned repartitioning within eMMC would manage getting around the bad areas/sectors within the chip by rearranging the partitions using ADB / ADB SHELL, i for myself cannot use ADB SHELL. What i definitely can do is connecting my Galaxy Note to the PC and also get a connection. But as soon as i try ADB SHELL, also ADB tells me something like "/system/bin/sh" not found.
Herk718, the problems you mention in your post are the exact same problems I had...and a lot more "members". I think I've tried every possible "solution" up until today, but without any luck. When it's up to me you can forget those posts advising you to flash this or flash that, it just won't work. Every PC Odin flash will stop at factoryfs.img (pit files won't work either)
As you actually said, we have to wait for a fix specific for this problem or bring you note to a SSC.

So in this case as some people here mentioned repartitioning within eMMC would manage getting around the bad areas/sectors within the chip by rearranging the partitions using ADB / ADB SHELL, i for myself cannot use ADB SHELL. What i definitely can do is connecting my Galaxy Note to the PC and also get a connection. But as soon as i try ADB SHELL, also ADB tells me something like "/system/bin/sh" not found.

Your phone isnt rooted, so you getting this error, try flashing a pre-rooted kernel, i am not sure if it will root a bricked phone or not... no harm in trying : )
Edit: did you flash the kernel provided in forest's guide here post 12?
Flash that kernel, get into recovery mode, connect via adb, repartition, flash gb rom, flash angelom kernel to reset binary count, flash your rom's stock kernel again and claim warranty.
Herk try forest's guide, its got link to hg42's thread about the custom pit method.
simple way, get the firmware u want (preferably the oldset GB version) and download the pit files from this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
then load the pit file with different regains ( 1024000 and 2560000kb worked with my note) and be sure u load 16 or 32gb accordingly.
same time load the firmware in pda , select re-partition option in odin and procceed.... start
good luck....
sometimes even u are sucessfull, the note will be stuck at a boot loop, wat i did was a factory reset at cwm recovery , do it at ur risk......(so its better to use GB firmware)

Hello, 2 make a long story short, I wipe data in cwm5 while on "CF-LPY KERNEL" on ICS(OFFICIAL RELEASE) . And now I can't flash stock rom from both ics & gingerbread. Keep getting stuck @ FACTORYFS.IMG in odin. And I can't access cwm5 anymore and whenever I turn my phone back on it reads " FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AND ISSUE, PLEASE GO TO RECOVERY IN KIES & AND TRY AGAIN". And kies is not recognizing my device any insight on this particular issue will help and be greatly appreciated, and one more thing, will a jtag service be beneficial in my situation or I have no choice but to get a new motherboard for my device? And where exactly can I purchase one being that I'm in the united states with no warranty

[Q] HELP! bircked note

hello everyone
my friend bricked his note and i don't know what to do for him, my friend has no exper experience, he did a restore on a nonsafe kernel
his phone is semi bricked (if not fully bricked), i tried using odin to flash a stock rom (gb then ics) but had no luck and proccess stops at "NAND write start", i tried only to flash a kernel which was abyssnote but also got stuck on "NAND write start" and i tried to use the pit file from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886) with a stock rom and with re-partition checked on odin and now it is stuck on:
<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
please help me as the phone has been stuck on this state (pit file way) for over 80 minutes
waiting for your answer...
i unpluged my phone now and i am trying a custom pit file (N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914--patched--brick-between-281-and-3770-MB--FACTORYFS-moved-by-3328-MiB.pit) after leaving my phone for up to 2 hours and with no progress using N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914-stock.pit
file, hope i can revive my friend phone and please try to point me for any solution i can try.
Check your connection. Usually if bricked the process will start ok but halt at factory.fs. Try with a different usb cable, make sure it's in a mobo usb port not front one.
Pit files should be a last resort. I don't think it's bricked personally. Does it power on at all?

What is the outcome of flashing the "N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914--patched--brick-between-281-and-3770-MB--FACTORYFS-moved-by-3328-MiB.pit" as you mentioned above?
If you can also get into recovery, then better try to use hg42 partition scanner first, to see if and where the damage is in the emmc.

If that long, then that pit doesn't seem to work.
I would try to flash a custom kernel such as hydracore or some other kernel that are available in .tar format. Then see if it help the phone get into recovery.
If that does not work, then just need to try other pit file from hg42 thread which move factoryfs by bigger number until it work. This is not a good strategy but it seems to be the only way.

This is a gb kernel that can be flashed via odin to see if recovery works.

I would try the first way of flash a kernel since it does not take much time.
Anyway, if want to try second strategy should move up by 500 mb or 1 gb each time.
I saw some people reported problem after flashing a pit with big number them move back to flash a pit with small number so should try to avoid that situattion.
The next pit I would choose it the one move fatoryfs by 4608mib for example.

thank you for your replies, i will try to try them as you mentioned above and by the way and will wait 15-20 minutes in each operation, i already tried the last version of hydracore but had no success, one last thing, if none of them worked (hope not), is there any other possible way to revive from the brick(other than replacing the motherboard or replacing the phone from samsung)?
bricked or not
same problem here, was on stock ics rooted for quite sometime, today decided to flash alliance rom v2.1, booted to cwm recovery, did a full wipe and after that i just hated myself. phone didnt boot into recovery and odin gets stucked at factoryfs, tried to flash with pit file too but no result same stuck in problem. then i flashed different kernel fm note kernel through odin which was a success, got my recovery back but unfortunately the only rom i have on internal sd was alliance rom which doesnt install, either says emmc error alliance rom or stucks at extracting system. so again flashed abyss kernel and did a full wipe again but odin still does not go beyond factory fs and i am trying to flash ics rom again. any idea what i should do now as i can flash a kernel and go into recovery. help will be appreciated. meanwhile downloading gb rom to check as i read in other posts it works tough not sure.

it is good as far as you can access cwm recovery, try to get any external sd, download a rom and put it on the external sd using other phone
and flash it using cwm and dont forget your safe kernel , and can you tell me please what kernel you've used?

Once get recovery it is best to try to scan partition to identify where the damage is. You can you adb method in my manual repartition guide or the scanner from hg42 which is even better.

Should try the kernel I sent and also the fm kernel suggested in the post above. Once having recovery it is much easier and there are more options. Otherwise, custom pit is the last resort before mobo replacement.

Hi there, sounds like a bad flash or bad download. Firstly remove your external micro SD card and connect it to a PC / Laptop (standard SD adaptor or Card Reader). Download a "default" ROM and kernel and KEEP them on the card (you never know when you need to go back to them). I use Abyss 4.2 kernel and Chrack ROM personally. I always have the jBroid Kernel Cleaner saved also). Replace the micro SD card.
If you can get into Recovery, flash the jBroid script cleaner. Now flash Abyss 4.2 kernel (GB safe kernel) and reboot into Recovery again. Now flash Chrack Rom. I've had a number of bad flashes and these 3 zips have always pulled me out a hole.
Hope this helps. Hit Thanks if it did.

i've already mentioned that it has no recovery mode, and yes, i always have abyssnote kernel in my ex-sd also in my friend's phone, the thing is that he don't know about the emmc bug and he did a restore on a none safe kernel and thats how he bricked his phone
what i've done so far is trying the pit file way but had no luck, now the thing is that the binary counter is 5 and i can't go to have a m/b replacement for free as the warranty is voided, is there any way to reset the counter or to hardbrick the phone except for the jig method?

Help me, my galaxy note N7000 died...(Formware upgrade ancountered an issue.)

Hello everybody.
I have a problem in my gt-N7000.
I tried to install the CM10, install normal.
I installed Gapps also normal.
When I went to wipe it crashed.
Now no more enters recovery mode, download mode only.
When I turn it only gets in this mensage:
"Formware upgrade ancountered an issue. Pease select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I've tried to pass other Stock Roms via Odim, but always hangs Odim.
I do not know what else to do, will my phone still has solution?
And have you tried that recovery mode in Kies?

Unfortunately I do not know which kernel was using, but I was the Official Rom 4.0.3.
I'm downloading now the site of the kernel SamMobile'll try and pass via Odin.

Ok.. also.. what was your flashing method? which file did you flash first? was your phone rooted?

I do not know if I can answer all your questions ... I did not root the phone.
I tried going through the kernel odin said that he caught up and in factoryms.img, as stated in the attached image.
Do not know if this is of great relevance but I can not give Wipe the recovery mode, it also crashes and resets the phone.

1. I don't know what you mean by this.? The was was not rooted or some one else rooted it for you?
2. The place where odin is stuck could indicate a brick. So you need to be precise in the info you give.
3. Did you use cwm.zip to install the rom directly on a non rooted phone?
If ODIN is working for you,
Get your mobile flashed with Philz Kernel by putting the TAR file on PDA.
Enter Philz Kernel in recovery and flash a ROM of your choice.
If you can't then u r a superbrick.

Sorry for my english, I'm using google translation.
I was using the official version 4.0.3, so I entered the reovery and installed CWM and the file to the Root. Shortly thereafter, without restarting the phone installed the CM10 and then the gapps. When I do the Wipe the phone crashed.
Since then, officials have spent several Roms by Odin and all lock.
I do not know if I was very clear on the information, but now the phone is locked it sansumg logo. And when he enters recovery does not wipe, lock and resets the device.
Again, sorry for my english.
So you have flashed cwm.zip and the the root file and then on the same temp recovery, wiped.? That is serious mistake and it seems a brick.

Can someone please help a newbie with sort out this mess

Thought i'd root my galaxy s and upgrade to a custom rom .I was on gingerbread 2.3.6 and flashed to xbean all installed well but i was having issues with media draining my battery rapidly and could not sort it so i thought i'd flash back with odin to gingerbread.It said it passed but it was just in a loop . I tried to do it again but same result. Did delete some files in recovery but there are some red failed words when it goes to system recovery (3e).
When i press the 3 button to get it to download mode i kept getting system recovery <3e> and could not get the download mode..But after removing battery etc i managed to get the download mode with the yellow triangle saying "downloading do not turn off target ".
Tried to get phone to show in odin but no joy..Can anyone help to get the phone working again.
Wish i'd never flashed in first place as my battery was ok in stock version. Could someone give me a step by step guide how to get the phone working again.
Thanks in advance
