Try flashing a stock gb rom via odin
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback.
At the moment I'm flashing GB using Odin 1.85. It's not failing it's stuck on factoryfs.img, Ive been gone for 2 hours and still on factoryfs!

Did you perform a wipe while on the rooted ICS ?
It sounds like a probable brick..

Seems higher chances of bricked
If you have device under warranty, then claim it, otherwise

I bought mine on February, I'm sure that's still under warranty? I just emailed Samsung NZ and will probably give them a call tomorrow. :\

If its just 3gb loss, then I can live with that. If its going to affect stability then yes that is another problem. :\

We'll see! I'm just glad the phone is back up now! Though thank you for the heads-up fahrie12!

I didn't read any review who recovered same way have amy stability or other issue, just N-joy! N explore reborn device now.
Anf yes loss of 3gb is not problem, but indeed it is solution to ur problem, sector which was damaged has to be block. Yes if you have claimed warranty you may have not have it.

So that's a workaround that will repartition your chip, means you will lose some space on internal SD.
Can you let us know how much space you lost? Its usually around 3 to 4gb, but have seen as high as 5.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
It is possible to try and regain some of that lost space, but its very time consuming, There is also a way you can swap the memory around, So your external SD will become internal and vice versa, Pretty neat if you have a 16gb+ external sd.
Although with the brickbug bug, Id much rather keep all my precious stuff on my external sd just incase.
See this link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28057775
i lost about 3-4gb...not a deal breaker since it has external sd...im happy...she is running...again..

how to repair bad sector on internal storage

hi there...just superbricked my n7000 n got recover by using manual re-partition...after manually repartition i notice that about 3gb space on internal storage cannot be use that we called bad sector...now i just have about 9gb internal storage...is there other guide or technic to gain the 3gb bad sector back...
sory for my english...
Don't know if it would work or not, bad sects ore are usually marked as such due to being physically unusable, but you could run e2fsck (Google it) via terminal emulator. Or run DD (again, Google) with dev/null being the source file, that would wipe out any corrupted data, may have to be run more than once, two seems to be the magic number when used to do a routine wipe on my phone.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
By repartition you will get your note working again, but *will* loose about 3gb of your internal memory. No solution to it.
Even if you do manage to unmark the bad sectors, it will just get your phone to the position it was in before you repatitioned. I think it will be as good as bricked again.
Better option, if your binary count is zero, you are on stock kernel and your note is under warranty, get it replaced under warranty.

Use "triangle away" download from google play. It will reset binary count to zero and remove yellow triangle.
After that brick it again and send to ssc for claim new mobo.

Hi All,
Recently I've also super-bricked my phone. I've tried reparation by pit but I loose precious 3GB from Internal memory.
then again I've bricked my phone and gave to SSC. Hope I get e-mmc replaced.
BTW
I'm from INDIA. I told SSC that I was just upgrading my phone and they said it is "dangerous" to upgrade phone at home .
Edit: Got my phone from SSC with new board.

[Q] How do I find out which country my galaxy note is from? Please help?

Ok, I did what you said, now it just goes to 'logo_ql.jpg' draw failed. It also wont let me get back into download mode, it just goes to this message. now what?
EDIT, nevermind, got it into download mode... guess i just need to keep trying different roms to figure out which one works?
You said your note came from repair and it was on download mode. I think it was NOT REPAIRED AT ALL. Country or region has nothing to do with manual flashing. You only need region when using kies to update.

Tbere is no need to try different roms as every rom is like same. Not much difference. Maybe your device is hard bricked and writing isn't possible. Get your motherboard replaced.

Don't ever wipe using stock ICS kernel. It will hard brick your device. I think now already got affected. Flash a safe kernel first then wipe.

So I have a question. I had tried rooting my device and it failed into a soft brick. Previously I had jzo54k on there. Using Odin I installed the Poland software but it seemed to have failed because now I am not able to register on a network. I have an international version of the Note 2 that I am using in the US. Since I am not able to connect to a network I am lost as to what to try. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Hi
My stock JB official unrooted rom suddenly went to a bootloop. I looked up online for solutions and flashed an official JB ROM for my phone and Odin failed to flash it. 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.
Thanks in advance.

This point to the case of superbrick mate. It has caused damage to your system and maybe also data partition. If you have warranty try to seek help from service center where they will replace mobo. Otherwise only repartition can help revive your phone. Follow the link from dr.ketan tool box in his signature to the guide for revive superbrick note cause by emmc bug. Hope you can make it. Cheers.
