Unbrick Note after Wipe during on ICS Kernel

I just bought a used Note at an amazing price. The seller stated that after wiping.. he couldnt get it to boot.. even though the phone
manages to go in Download Mode and in Recovery Mode. I'm getting it today.. my 1st thoughts were to flash a stock rom via Odin..
should i try something else before Odin?..maybe try to flash a custom rom via the Recovery? Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys...

You should try to flash Stock GB Rom via ODIN first..Then you can flash custom roms after you root your device with CWM installed

Best way is to flash GB ROM
If it flash successfully then wipe cache and data rom recovery.
If note damaged with emmc brick bug, it wont bootup.

guys thanks alot for the quick replies!
i shall have the Note in about an hour or so..so i'll first attempt flashing a GB Rom via Odin..
hopefully everything will turn out ok there and i won't have to search my soul out on xda about
that emmc bug that's been mentioned:fingers-crossed:.. i shall post here the outcome soon!

so.. while i can boot into download mode and in cwm mode.. the Odin fails to flash the stock GB rom.
it gets stuck (see attachment).. what's my next step? :-/ should i try to follow this guide?

I think you just hit the emmc bug- this is the classic symptom- stuck at flashing FACTORYFS after the wipe on ICS Rom.
Take it to Samsung for repair or flash using a modified PIT file. You will lose some internal memory but the note can be revived. Search these forums for instructions! Good luck!

unfortunately i dont have the receipt (so no warranty) so i guess i ll do the modified PIT file method and i'll just get a bigger sd card.. thanks for the good luck part!

so i found a few posts that seemed helpful, i tried flashing the FM-Note-Kernel_V2.0 via Odin and it was successful, after that i
tried flashing via CWM the ROCKET ROM - v23 - GB - LC1.. and it started out pretty good..the progress bar was..progressing
normally..the funny part was when the progress bar ended.. because even though it ended..it kept going..to outerspace..towards
the right end of the screen..till it reached the end of the Note's screen and it stayed there.. (see attachment) for about 6-7 mins..
after that it got past it and it stuck at "Installing Kernel" at right about half of the progress bar.. that is how it is right now.. i guess
i'll give it a bit more time before i do anything..
edit: the progress bar while in "Installing Kernel" is actually progressing....!! ridiculously slowly though.. and the fact that i'm staring at it is making it even slower
edit: we got past it! now it's at "Installing Modem" and... ITS DONE! ... i am completely terrified to reboot because i am 99,99% sure it's not gonna make me happy...
edit: indeed... no luck there

Ι got to a much better state using this guide
The phone actually boots up! After the procedure i Flashed via the Recovery a GB Rocket Rom! It boots up after a while however..
at the start of it all where it sais to click on the android to begin (right where u choose the language).. i get a repeated force close
about phone.android that won't let me use the phone........ any ideas!? we are so close!!

normally after flashing GB, you may struck at the first screen. wipe data and cache and if you can go to dalvik cache, wipe that too and reboot. good luck.

[Q] Stuck at Samsung Galaxy Note screen

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 ?
Ty

Flash stock GB 2.3 Rom by odin...
Then go to recovery mode and perform wipe data and factory reset.

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

mehh bump I really need you pro ppl to help me here

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

Have u tried to use GB wipe version?
It always work.
The bootloop normally due to unclean installation.

i have resolved it!!!
This may kindly serve as a reference to others. i did nothing, when i was so desperate and nothing seemed to work with my problem, i have tried to format the cache,system,preload,etc. on the recovery mode. then i installed the custom rom again and BOOM! now i can use my phone like it was never done to the latter stage hehe. by the way thanks to you all who posts their help, i have tried those too but at this time may desperation luckily works. thank you all!

may be next time before flashing anything using CWM, make a nandroid backup to revert back in case of disaster

thats the reason why I asked to confirm.....
if you wiped on stock ics rom in stock recovery then it means your phone is bricked.
Phone getting stuck on factory fs during flash via pc odin is another confirmation.
Follow the guide in this --

If you have warranty then go to service centre and get motherboard replaced ( a better option) but tell them you were trying for update and phone did not reboot.

We need to be clear here. Did the wipe occur on stock 3e ICS recovery, Which is NOT a CWM recovery. OR did the wipe happen AFTER reflashing CWM.zip (the one from you-tube or wherever - originally used to root phone).
If the latter, then we are talking about a true SUPERBRICK. ie: repartition or new MOBO being only options.

It was on Sweetrom 10.5 running 4.1.2

If you simply can't get to recovery you probably should try flashing a stock JB ROM via PC Odin. Go to @dr.ketan's stock ROM sticky thread and be sure to follow the instructions very carefully. Are you sure you can't get into recovery?
If that succwssfuly flashes then you can root+cwm using philz after that and then install any custom ROM you want.
