HELP!!! MY PHONE LOOKS LIKE BRICKED!!! I have a Galaxy Ace rooted with a stock rom installed without carrier customization. Even after uninstalling a few apps the performance did not look like I was supposed to expect. So, after taking a look at XDA developers I found out the StockLite v7.1. So I decided to install it following the procedures exactly as described. After rebooting, Samsung logo appears and after about 7-10 minutes the screen looks like turned on but without any image/logo. Even after waiting several minutes (more than 30 minutes), the screen looks like turned on but neither shows any other image nor the main Android screen. I am afraid I bricked my phone
Wipe data and cache then reboot.
If not the try re-flasing the rom
If you still can't get it to boot then flash stock rom with odin(search xda for a guide)

As long as u see Samsung logo when it starts up I don't think its bricked. Can you still go into CWM?

No, I am not able to go into CWM anymore, even after fashing a new stock ROM and I was wondering the reason why it is still happening.

If you reflash the stock rom with Odin, it flashes the stock recovery back(you lose CWM).
What chipset does the s5830B have? What frequency did it have on the sticker?
Flash a rom for s5830B from Odin, and don't use a one package use the full one with separate files.

Hello XDA,
My phone is stuck at the Galaxy Note N7000 screen (white letter black background).
I came here after a try to flash Paranoid android rom... My phone was on ICS 4.0.3.
Now the strange thing is I can get into download/recovery mode, I am able to flash stuff through odin. So what I've already tried to do is :
Flash stock rom with odin ( both 2.3 and 4.0.3 ) - No result.
Flash a other kernel - No result
I once came to the bootanimation of paranoid android but that was the only thing
Can one of you guys help ?

If you are able to boot in download mode then you should be able to flash GB rom, what error are you getting after or while flashing GB using odin?
If you are stuck on Galaxy Note logo after successfully flashing GB rom then its normal, wipe in stock recovery and it will boot.
I did this, now I'm having a bootloop :S

Here is my complete lists of the actions I took:
I was on 4.0.3 rooted with and this is pretty stupid Stock or speedmod kernel I don't know anymore
Then I wiped data / cache / dalvik since that was in the instructions in the paranoid thread.
Then I flashed Paranoid android with the result of the Samsung Note Logo.
After that I flashed stock ics rom, since that didn't booted I flashed stock GB
From that moment I flashed allot of thing with the same result
I can flash stuff in odin no problem at all, everything i flashed passed !
I can flash cwm with odin and from that on I can flash everything on the note in cwm.
I hope someone can help me :crying:
Let's forget that you did all those. Follow these steps and don't jump the gun into the next step.
1. Go to download mode
2. Flash GB ROM. If possible non rooted
3. Reboot recovery
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Wipe cache
6. Wipe data
7. Reboot
Lets see if that works for you.

Check this or this (for galaxy S III though, but symptoms are same), do not attempt to follow these procedures if you are not sure about it, it's better to take it to service center before trying PIT method if you don't find any other solution.
So.. what a night (-.-)7 I came to the conclusion that the mmcblk0p10 and mmcblk0p11 partitions are corrupt in some way. When I'm home again I'm going to try the pit files but it seems that I need to do some special stuff with the mmcblk0p11 partition.... Maybe someone that has this problem aswell and still remembers stuff can post it here ?
Would be a big help

If your note is in warranty then go to service center and tell them that your gnote bricked while updating latest ics rom via ota
they will replace your mother board
Today I tried to update my phone to a new custom rom.
I followed the instructions of the threads and tried to get it to work.
Of course it didn't work or else I wouldn't be here right now asking for help.
Here's the current situation.
I am able to boot into download mode + recovery mode and also boot into cwmr and install a different kernel.
I used pc odin to install it each time and it does pass and the rom (i've tried installing a gingerbread rom so that I can try everything again) does install.
the problem is that it is currently stuck in a boot loop at the "Samsung galaxy note gt-N7000" screen.
I have looked up dr.ketan's posts and tried some too.
currently i am booting abyss note kernel 42cwt touch original. (I know for sure it is a workable kernel because I've been using it this whole time.
here's what i've done. please tell me what i've done wrong and the possible ways to reverse it.
1. backed up everything
2. went into recovery
3. factory reset/cache clear
4. use pc odin to install new kernel (since I was looking into switching to another kernel anyways)
5. use pc odin again to install gingerbread rom (I do get the green light saying it did get installed
6. phone auto reboots
7. it gets stuck at the boot loop like i have mentioned above
i will try to attach a few pictures of my note as soon as I can so you can see what's going on with it.
What rom is there on the phone now ? if you boot into recovery .. what recovery do you get now ? CWM or stock ardroid 3e recovery ?

Right now it reboots to 3e recovery.
The rom that I tried to inject to it is currently a the stock gingerbread rom from dr. Ketans thread.
The rom that I had on it is the official ics rom for the hk region.
The rom that I wanted to inject to it was a custom jb rom that uses hydracore as a kernel.
Thanks!!
try installing a prerooted Gb rom or an ICS stock rom using PC odin.. if you choose ICS, after flash install a safe kernel..

If I do a stock ics update can I just do it through kies or do I have to do it through pc odin? Also. Would abyss or hydracore considered as a safe kernel???
yes if kies can do it then good but at this situation i dont think. its better to use PC odin for now. yes both are safe kernels

I've tried your suggestions...and it didn't seem to work out too well.
I am able to flash to different kernels and get in and out of different recovers and such, but ya...still no luck with running a rom.
Well I am not sure but I soft bricked my phone when I tried that Abyss Kernel. In my view Hydracore is safe. Philz is super safe.
Flash ICS which matches your region using Odin. If phone boots flash Philz, If not, then be ready to read a lot of stuff or get phone repaired.

Hey guys. my note seems to have cooperated and allowed me to flash a new rom and also a new kernel. Here's the catch though, now it's stuck in the samsung logo and won't boot beyond that. Any suggestions of what to do? I am continually searching on the forums to find a solution.
At least I'm happy to know it's not a brick that can't be fixed.
Thanks nokiamodeIn91 for your help so far. I really appreciate it.
which rom did you flash and which kernel? how?

I currently flashed the abyss note kernel 42 cw touch and I downloaded an old gb rom from sammobile .
Here's what I did.
1. Put my phone into download mode
2. Run as admin on PC Odin
3. Selected the Abyss kernel then flashed it.
4. Boot into the cmw, wiped cache then booted the phone into download mode again.
5. Then I installed the old GB Rom on to my phone and restarted it.
6. Phone starts, loads past the GT-N7000 logo and goes into the samsung boot logo.
7. Phone repeats the animation of the samsung logo a time or two then restarts on its own. This loops until the phone is completely drained. I know that the rom works because that was the rom that I used to root my phone. I definitely don't mind downloading another rom if I have to.
my current goal, if we can fix this, is to quickly just update to the official jb rom for n7000 and not play around with the rooting and such until I have even more time to learn more.
at least I know for sure my phone isn't hardbricked, I would imagine I have either missed a step or something that caused the problem.
I have read through the forum and I did come across one post talking about checking my phone's partition and such.
I got to be honest, I'm really not technically skilled enough at this point in time to dare to mess around with that type of thing yet especially with so much coding to make sense of it. (I know this is kind of dumb to say especially when I rooted my phone and screwed up this bad). More importantly, I don't even know for sure if I need to do a partition or not.
Please let me know what I did wrong and how I can fix it.
I got a question though (out of curiosity), how come there's no toolkit for the n7000 like the S3 and also the note 2???
this is the name of the old gb rom that I tried flashing.
N7000ZSKJ6_N7000OZSKJ6_N7000XXKJ6_HOME.tar
I actually have tried several other roms as well (from GB-JB, official and custom) and all of them so far has gotten to the samsung boot logo
I have read on the forums to try using Philz-cwm 6 kernel but I don't know if it'd solve my problem.
let me show you one of the threads I have read, if I dived into the wrong material let me know and I won't consider using it (or learn how to use it) for my current situation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661590&highlight=samsung+logo+bootloop&page=2
like I was saying before, I really have no experience in coding so all the things that really made near no sense to me. I understand the basic concept of what its trying to do it's just seems like a very unsafe method for me to try especially when I lack the necessary knowledge in this area of expertise.
did you flash the GB rom using the standard PIT file ?
also you could try with the 5 file flashing method from this thread

Hi all
N7000 @ 4.1.2 with PhilZ.Speedmod
Odd behaviour began a few days ago: Single tap power button would cause the Reboot/Airplane mode menu followed by a crash a few seconds later. This became more and more likely to happen so I wiped user data and performed a full factory reset/cache wipe etc.
Went through the android start up as per usual and only installed non-root apps just to be on the safe side (except Titanium Backup - which i use to freeze Touchwiz).
About 4 hours after, same problem only this time it wont get past Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Splash screen image at all.
A new battery was inserted a few days ago - could this have damaged the board maybe?
Recovery STILL works but I don't have any backup images.
Odin recognizes the phone in download mode
Should I try a different kernel/rom?
Really lost without my note.
Any help gratefully receieved!

I am having the same issue. Was on Carbon Rom and everything was working fine, then after a restart the phone cannot pass the boot animation. It just shuts off right in the middle of booting. Have tried to reflash back to GB and still the same issue.

I tried Philz recovery but Odin failed to flash it. I got a yellow triangle which I was able to removie through Odin. Currently my phone is stuck on the splash screen. Recovery doesn't work. Odin fails when I try to reflash with a md5.tar file. Please experts help me with my problem. would really appreciate it.

Hi All.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 that I was trying to flash with
a custom ROM.
The problem is that it's always getting soft-bricked.
It gets stuck at the Samsung splash screen.
I have tried 5 or more different ROMS for this, but the result is
always the same, although confirmation message always say that
"installation was succcessful".
Needed to flash with stock ROM via Odin, just to be able to recover
phone.
I believe that I'm doing the steps correctly, I have a rooted phone, I
always wipe data/cache/dalvik cache using CWM recovery before
installing the ROM from the SD root directory.
Is there something I am missing here? Any advice?

Hi Peeps, Happy New Years
Don't Worry I read every thread on XDA and no one has a problem as similar as mines and don't know EXACTLY what type of brick I have.
I got this problem with my Galaxy Note (N7000):crying:
It all started when I was running Ultimate Rom v6 and decided to upgrade to kitkat.
I searched around and found that Spirit Rom had quite positive reviews.
So I downloaded the rom and tried to flash but then ended up with status 7 error.
I then found out I was using an outdated version of CWM (I think it was 6.0.3.7)
I then flashed this file by zedomax (http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/recovery/n7000-CWM-KitKatCompatible.zip)
because it had compatible recovery with Kitkat roms and CM 10.2 kernal. Installation went fine and I set up everything.
I then installed lollipop theme (It came with boot animation). Then I rebooted to see how the boot animation looked but to my despair I got stuck at Samsung Boot Logo Screen and couldn't get past it. I couldn't get into recovery, only downloading mode. So then I flashed stock JB rom with PC (Odin). The flashing was successful but I'm still stuck at Logo screen.
Also I would like to also mention that the phone was NEVER on ICS. It was on stock GB 2.3.6, then rooted and flashed Ultimate Rom V6.
Any help would be appreciated :highfive::victory:

Calm down dude!
I read the thread properly.......
Unfortunately something went wrong and I'm asking for help (I really don't even know how I messed it up).......
Do you have a problem with that?
I have experience with rooting and custom roms and have never came across something like this.....

If the last thing you did was flash 4.1.2 via PC Odin then flash the correaponsing philz kernel in PC Odin, boot to recovery, and do a factory reset. If you don't want stock TW, then do the above, and then follow the guide on how to flash a KitKat ROM. I feel your error may involve not doing proper wipes, including preload.

Thanks Dude , You helped think of of something
BTW I fixed it
Maybe my recovery was corrupted or something...... So I was browsing around sticky threads an somehow reasoned it out to flash a prerooted + cwm rom through odin.
This is what I did:
1. Download this http://d-h.st/HJM
2. Flash with PC Odin (Add via PDA button and make sure ONLY Auto reboot is checked)
3. Wait till completed
4. When completed you will still get stuck then....
5. Boot into recovery (Which will now be CWM)
6. Do a factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache
7. Reboot
8. Give the logo screen a minute or two
9. Then I get directly to welcome screen.
10. Done
One more thing is do you know what was the cause of this? It's really interesting to know...........
Yeah improper wipes or flashing the wrong kernel for the wrong rom
