There is no 3 buttons combo that can factory reset your phone, press vol. Down + home +power button, you will enter to the download mode"here you can flash rooms using PC Odin", download PC odinb from the development section, and flash stock rom in .tar format, then you can root and flash a recovery where you can flash custom rooms. But read the guides in the dev. Section about using PC Odin before any thing

Was it an OTA or KIES update u did?
U rooted and on stock or any custom rom ?
If not rooted....then u can still try hitting volume up + home + power buttons all at the same time and holding them pressed till the time the same N7000 logo shows up and leave the buttons then. The phone should boot into stock recovery. Now try clearing the cache there if the option is available. If nothing works then either wipe/format your note (warning all data will be lost except the internal/external sd card) or reflash the firmware through PC odin using Dr Ketan's guide from the stickies post in the development section of note forum here on xda.
How did you update you phone? Via kies?
i am new to all these things! i haven't rooted my phone as well! jst went on to "about phone" and update. after which it didn't started. tried the vol. up home key and power didn't worked...
So it was an OTA update. Did you tried pressing volume down + home + power button for booting into download mode?
ya tried that as well but it said custom OS can cause critical problems so canceled it...

vol up+home+power should work. Try that again and keep pressing them till the time the n7000 logo shows up and leave them immediately after it.
if u are not able to get into recovery then the only way for you is to flash via odin.
Refer the guide and roms here-

does that mean my phone will be rooted?

No. You just flash the latest firmware you want from the PC odin. The phone will be stock rom and wont be rooted unless you run the rooting tool.

Hello,
I wanted to update my Note to official german ICS (N7000XXLPY) using Odin. After going through th whole process:
extracting, wiping, putting in download mode, chosing N7000XXLPY in PDA and starting, it took some 5 to 8 minutes until odin finished with
"REMOVED!" and the phone restarted with new ICS boot animation.
Now it's stucked on SAMSUNG logo. I've tried to reboot a few times but nothing changes. ANy help would be apreciated.
Thanks,
BruXav

Lol I answered you there and also said post in relevant thread, sorry
Thank you for your help and patience ;-)
When I do the combo home+power+volume down I can only volume up to enter downloading mode or cancel. I go to download but what to do next?
It says downloading...do not turn off target but nothing about factory reset.
Thank you so much!!!
Sorry I'm new here
I had same problem.. Boot into CWM, not download mode, and factory reset worked for me.

Thanks but how do you get in CWM mode if you can't get into the phone?
Any other button combo I don't know?
The only thing I ca do is reboot in download mode
CWM = Vol UP + Home + Power

Did you update this way to official ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25947847&postcount=4
If you already did above, then try this:
0. Disconnect USB
1. Power off
2. Hold vol+ & home & power, let go of power once you see Samsung logo
3. You'll be in a special recovery mode. From here you can choose factory reset.

Yeah, I thought maybe you skipped something. I had CheckROM v6 on mine, it's was gingerbread rom. I did a PC Odin upgrade using the stock ICS, and everything was still there working. I did do another factory reset tonight from the settings and not in the recovery menu. Could it be a corrupted download of stock ICS? Some people were saying if you had a custom ICS before, this method won't work. Are you able to put back stock gingerbread?
I have this same problem. Cant get past samsung logo. I tried flashing several times, did factory reset, just wont work. I flashed using heimdall, not odin, would that make a difference?
Flashed back to 2.3.6, that works fine. Tried reflashing official ics, same problem, stuck at samsung logo. Factory reset in cwm does not work. Any ideas?
Hey buddy, I had the same problem tonight when I tried to restart my phone after a build.prop update - changing the wifi interval from 15 to 120... doh!
Got stuck at the boot screen and so out of desperation I decided to wipe, it didnt work. I was still stuck.
So I flashed XXLC1 (Open Euro) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 with PC Odin and it came back ok . I lost root though but thats no biggie, at least I have a working phone now.
Hope that helps you. Good Luck!

Did u flash safe kernel before flashing the JB rom? Or did u factory reset/wiped on stock kernel?
dude just saying downloading files and installing wont work.. you need to let us know the exact files you downloaded, method followed, and state of the phone before installing the new rom, as in if it was rooted or what version of rom? anything

ok the files i've downloaded and put them on the sd card were aokp_n7000_jb_build-2 and gapps-jb-20121011-signed and after copying them on the sd card i pressed the power+volume up+home buttons and chose to wipe everything then i went and chose the aokp_n7000_jb_build-2 and it started installing it then suddenly it turned off and nothing is working since then
hmmm..
ok check if something happens if you press the (vol down + power + home) for a while. report back

well nothing is happening at all when pressing the 3 buttons together, all i wanna do is restoring it to factory settings and nothing more but i don't know how to do this now
its the vol down this time not up..
Remove battery
reinsert it after a few secs
again vol down power and home
if nothing happens try charging the battery for a while and try the above steps
1) Charge your phone.
2) Install Kies on your computer.
3) Restart computer
4) Plug phone into computer. Is it detected?
5) Repeat step 4 but after pressing volume down/power/home
6) Repeat step 5 but after using samsung USB jig (you have to buy it but it's cheap)
the samsung USB jig will try to 'force' your phone into the same mode that volume down/power/home does.
I would never ask a regular xda user this question but...
are you sure you have an N7000? does it have a home button? how many contacts are on the battery?

i hate to say it but he updated to the latest stock and then tried to flash files from recovery.
it sounds to me like mmc_cap_erase bug
assuming, of course, that he doesn't have an i717 and flashed N7000 files over it.
which would just as easily brick

OP all hope is not lost though, if you can get into download mode we can save your phone. on the other hand if you are under warranty, go to the Samsung store and tell them you tried to factory reset from stock and it wouldn't boot again (and nothing about rooting etc). you will not be under warranty if you are in the USA or Canada and have an N7000
sounds to me like your flash counter should still be 0

Of course i'm sure that i have Galaxy Note N7000, the only issue is that i'm just new to the android world and i'm not familiar with the android terms like Root, Flash, Kernel and stuff like these and that's why i'm stuck here
But my question is why can't i go to the recovery mood normally like why pressing the home+power+volume down is not working for me?? btw i'm not in the united states and unfortunately i bought this phone when i was on a vacation and i'm in another country right now

Can you get into download mode or not.
Pull battery. Wait a minute. Put battery back in. Hold home power DOWN (not up)

Unfortunately i can't
If you can't enter download mode then you're superbricked. You can repartition the chip which is a pretty advanced process and I imagine you'd struggle with it, or you can claim warranty. In future read the forums thoroughly before doing any sort of flashing, start with the stickies and make yourself aware of any and all issues before you flash.

not sure even the battery has any juice left

strange problem with charging, bootloop, pls help

Hi,
I rooted my note some weeks ago and I was searching the web, reading all kind of threads and thinking what the problem might be for the last weeks. Finally I decided to register myself on xda and to post my problem.
Like mentioned before I rooted my note via CMW and then flashed a franco kernel, unfortunally I dont know which version, but no custom rom. It all worked fine for 14 maybe 16 hours, then the phone froze after opening a app and after that it stuck at the Galaxy Note N7000 logo. I tried to enter recovery but it didn't work, I can enter downloadmode but I ran out of battery before I could do anything.
Now the phone keeps turning itself on and off the whole time when I try to charge it, the battery image comes for like 1 second and after that the screen turns black again. The battery itself is new so that shouldnt be the problem. I charged it like that for like 4 hours and then tried to enter downloadmode but it only says "battery to low to download".
I hope it is not a hardware problem. If anybody has a idea please help me, I am getting desperate.

EDIT: I came from offical 4.0.4 ICS
How old is your phone? Try with another good battery.
Suggestion: you may flash gb via PC Odin and check phone back to normal.

I got my phone last april, so it is not even a year old, but I got a new battery some days before rooting it... I'll try/have to get another one anyway.
Could you give me a link for a stock gb rom please.
Thank you for your quick reply.
Kindly go thru Guru 'drketan' threads and posts.

Found it. Should I use a rom with three parts or with only one? And can I use any rom or one with a special "code" that suits my device, e.g. german....
And just flash the rom and then fullwipe or is wiping not necessary?
I am sorry for the questions but I want to do everything right.
You can use any. Wipe in GB recovery.
Thanks a lot.
Yesterday I finally found somebody to charge my battery, today I flashed a GB stock rom, but I still can`t get any further than the Samsung Galaxy Note logo... It worked one time but I turned the phone off to insert my sim card and it got stuck again.
I tried flashing with pit file and bootloader as well, but no luck.
Could it be a hardware problem? Could a J-tag repair fix it?
Thanks in advantage.

Now your on safe GB rom, enter recovery wipe cache, factory reset, wipe dalvick cache.
Let's know the result
I tried, but I am not able to enter recovery... I press volume up + home + power but I only get the N7000 logo. I have read that you have to press the home button in the right moment to enter stock recovery, could somebody tell if that is true and if yes when do I have to press?
Anyone an idea please? I can enter download mode but not recovery, I downgraded to gb 2.3.6.KK5, I flashed abyss 4.2 but I can get to recovery mode or past the GT N7000 logo. Three times it got to the "package installing" page and one time it even started then I switched it off to insert my sim card and again stuck at the N7000 logo.

You have to press the three button combo "a long time" and the power button should be the last one to use.
I always wait until the Samsung Logo appeared 2 times and I see the next animation (depends on your kernel/recovery).
So please try again and hold the three buttons longer.
I flashed the 3-part lc1 gb and did a full wipe. The phone now starts sometimes but gets stuck at the n7000 logo most of the time. When it starts the whole UI feels very laggy, eg. while typing. Recovery mode started one time out of 1000 tries. I am afraid that something with my hardware is wrong. Any ideas? Could a Jtag be a solution? Please help.
try again to get into recovery and do a factory reset from Gb recovery..
press it until you get to recovery. DO NOT remove your fingers when you see n7000 bootlogo. keep pressing . keep pressing. keep pressing.

I made it in the recovery, did another fullwipe, but it still lags while typing or opening/closing an app and still does not boot proper, I have to try several times to get past the logo screen and it works only when I go in downloadmode and boot from there. Entering the recoverymode still only works randomly. Any idea?
Edit: it also lags while scrolling down/up

In all you posts here you never wrote exactly what version of which Rom you installed in whatever way.
That's why I'm still not convinced that you have "defined state" and giving good advice is try&error.
So please start telling: how did you flash, what GB or ICS or JB version, Stock Rom or Custom Rom.
,Sorry, I flashed the n7000xxlc1 - open europe with odin PC, stock, prerooted and in 3 parts. After that I did a fullwipe, the phone turns on after a few tries, most time after I go in download mode and restart from there. It lags while it is on, like short freezes, I tried to install the OTA update to ICS but failed.
Before that I was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note logo after flashing a franco kernel via CWM (I am not sure which version but it came with the guide to root, so I thought it could not be bad)
Edit: I flashed the xxlsc 4.1.2 jelly bean offical leak via odin PC, and I still have the same problems. I takes 5-6 reboots to actually start the device and it is very laggy, almost unusable. Every second or so it freezes for short time.
Any help please? I would send it to someone to do a JTAG repair if this could help. I just dont want to waste the money, so if anyone has experienced a problem like this please help me.
Is this a brick revived phone?

Does download mode work? You can access it by holding volume down+home+power. Even though you could not access recovery, you should still be able to use download mode + odin and reflash new rom.
i have tried down vol+ home + power and its not working..i ll try now with odin since its my last chance..thanks for your help

Entering download mode could be tricky sometimes if you didn't press (and hold for several seconds) all buttons simultaneously, the phone would just reboot. Also I've read that there could be different button combos on different SGS1 variants (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14391773#post14391773).
Here are some instructions, how to flash using odin, however, i doubt odin could detect your phone without download mode or phone fully booted.
