Super Bricked My Galaxy Note (Binary Count =0)

I super bricked (no download mode or recovery mode) my Galaxy Note while restoring from CWM backup last night, I had LP8 installed, binary count is 0.
I have already sent it to the Samsung Service Center, question is: what should I expect??
FYI : My motherboard had been replaced 2 times already earlier due to emmc bug.

What on earth are you doing to consistently brick it? If you're under warranty then you should be ok - given that the emmc is a known issue which they're aware of..
On a side note, I'd suggest not being so flash happy and a little more reading before you mess around..
Good luck..

I was tryin to get navigation bar like that in Nexus, had created a backup if smthin went wrong, I haven't flashed any custom ROM, and ya its under warranty, and I have decided I'll be buying only Nexus series from now on

Good thing you have warranty, but still bricking it 3 times now, I wouldn't want my device on the service center it's inconvenient and really not worth wasting my time, I'd rather be very careful flashing than going to the service center for repairs. But anyways that's my opinion. It's your device and you can do whatever you want with it

Please have a look here, before you transform your note into a brick... for the 4th time

I don't understand how anyone can brick more than once! It's just plain stupidity.

No I didn't do it on purpose, I had followed steps for flashing ParanoidAndroid ROM, I flashed a stock GB ROM as asked, but in both attempts I got my phone soft bricked, is there any guide you can suggest for a fool-proof way of flashing without bricking??

There is no known method of Flashing without the chances of Bricking the phone.. I suggest you read the instructions thoroughly before attempting to brick your phone... Again!

Than I guess I'll have to stick with the stock ROM and wait for next Nexus to be launched, I had GSII previously and flashed ROMs without any worry, and fyi I did follow every instructions, I'm not a noob

There is a safe way to flash, this is why a lot of people do it successfully...
My thoughts are that you followed instruction to a degree.. If you're on a Stock GB there's no fear of Brickbug at all...
I am wondering if you flashed Abyss in ICS - or did not reboot recovery after installing Abyss....
Which steps did you follow and which ROM, I've flashed PA without issue after downgrading to GB via PC ODIN, Rooting with SpeedMod and then flashing PA..

I don't think Galaxy Nexus is coming to India ever. You should probably get it imported or ask some relative to get it for you.

You did not follow the steps.
Stock ICS kernel had the bug that will brick your phone.
Always instal a safe kennel, reboot into recovery and then wipe, then instal new ROM
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Restoring in cwm under ics kernel triggers brick bug. This has been documented since the bug was found and is all outlined in the stickies all over the forum. I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for someone bricking for a third time, there's just no excuse for this short sightedness.

[Q] Note stays on splash screen after installing ParanoidAndroid

Hi,
So I've recently tried to root my Note and put it on PA0.5 ROM and it gets stuck on splash screen. Dr.Ketan told me to use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763151 and I've followed it completely. But as soon as I get to install via recovery it gets stuck. I've read threads like this but most people loose recovery and get stuck but mines stuck w/ recovery. So please someone help me!
Thanks
Weeo
P.s. As soon as I get this fixed I can start making my LGUI3.0 ROM

In what situation you are in now ? Are you trying to flash ICS stock rom now ? If it so I would recommend to stop it and flash GB Rom using PC Odin.

I was on stock ICS originally, followed that guide to get on GB+ROOT. Flashed PA in recovery and it doesnt fail, it 'installs' and then i reboot and it doesmt work.. Also o did wipe everything
Back on stocl ICS

Don't worry, if you don't know what it is then you didn't repartition. Do you know what version of cwm recovery you have? Press and hold power, home and volume up till it reboots into cwm.

Yes... I did it..
N nothing brick issues..
ICS rom is safe..
which makes the brick is the stock ICS kernel...
So do not do the wipe when you're still using the stock kernel..
Flash Abyss kernel first..
N then do the wipe using abyss kernel..

Im assume your devices havent rooted. And wanna go for custom ics rom.
1) root your devices ( dr.ketan thread).
2) flash speedmod or hydracore kernel thru rocovery or mobile odin.
3) reboot recovery and do full wipes.
4). Install rom. Done.
Good luck

How do I fully root the Note?

Hey guys, Recently my dad got a Galaxy Note (N7000) and he has been complaining about The Note 2 getting jelly bean and stuff.
I already rooted it for him with Superuser.
I want to install a custom rom for him but I read a lot of topics saying that theres a very high chance on bricking your device using CWM and stuff.
If anyone could post a step by step guide, That would be super-appreciated, Thank you in advance.

He's already rooted and on stock kernel, if he tries to flash a ROM using above CWM.zip or does factory reset on it, he will brick his device.
Best advice is to go Here, download PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-2.7-signed.zip (that's the one that is compatible with his ROM) and put it on external SD card. From there, boot into recovery mode, and flash Philz kernel from external storage. (It's the only one that can be flashed from stock recovery). Then phone will be fully rooted with safe stock kernel and safe CWM recovery. Only then should any attempt be made to flash ROMs from recovery.
Re: CWM.zip READ THIS

Easiest for me is to flash ICS of your choice using Odin. Then flash speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar using Odin. Select PDA in Odin to use this file. Google it up. Double check that the file you get is for ICS N7000 and that it is the Odin version.
The end result will be a rooted ICS that you can safely wipe. It also has Clockworkmod installed. This allows you to flash custom JB roms. You may get a yellow triangle upon reboot. Just buy Triangle Away on Google Play store. Reset the counter using the app.

But flashing philz from stock doesn't result in triangle, raised counter and need for triangle away. Surely easier

If he has to ask what is xxLRG, thr i wont even advice him to flash custom roms.
Sell the Note and get your father a Note2. Chances are, he will complain of so many things "not normal" once in custom rom, etc.

To be safe, do a full wipe WHILE you are on GB. Then update to ICS. The phone should be clean. This way no risk of the brick bug.

Wipe what ever u want when yr on gb rom itself. Once u wipe on gb n update. i think u will ve no need to wipe later
Never wipe or factory reset on ics stock kernel.
Using philz stock safe kernel u can then get rooted n then wipe anything on ics.

I was tracking that using CWM to root on the N7000 was not a good move? There is a note at the top of the Q&A in this section ... says no to CWM.
Thoughts?

yes its not safe to root using CWM.zip file
