Remove battery, insert it after 5-6 minutes and then try to boot. Can you enter download mode (vol down+home+power button combo)? so that further solutions can be provided just in case if you can't boot after removing battery.

Ok good, did you try removing battery?
If removing battery isn't helping and if you are okay with root and custom kernel then flash some safe kernel using pc odin and then wipe to see if that helps. If you don't want to root or flash custom kernel then download stock Indian GB firmware from dr.ketan's thread and flash it using pc odin and then wipe in stock recovery.
Flashing stock GB will allow you to update to ICS using kies or even OTA.

Ok.great!now download any gb or ics rom dr ketans thread or from jeetu signature.
After downloading the rom,you need to download kies on your pc and odin as well.after downloading all this put your phone in download mode and now open odin and select pda tab and select your rom which would be in tar format.
Now connect your phone thru usb cable and after connecting you will see yellow light which means your phone is detected.
Now click on start and sit back till it pass.

hey does GB mean gingerbread if so does it mean i have to downgrade my firmware ..wont that be a problem ???
it says If you have flash GB ROM over ICS/custom ROM, you mat get FC/crashing , in that case just restart in recovery and wipe cache and wipe data.
how do i restart in recovery and wipe cache and data???

yes Gingerbread and there is no problem in downgrading, i won't suggest you to flash ICS rom as you cannot wipe in ICS, it can brick your phone, so best is to downgrade to GB , wipe and if everything goes well then update to ICS officially.

FCs and boot loop is normal after flashing GB over ICS, use vol up + home+ power combo and then release power button once you see galaxy note logo, you will be in stock recovery. Navigate using vol up and down and home to confirm.

That is pre rooted. If you need to lose root and cwm just flash stock gb from dr ketans thread in development section, it will overwrite and erase root.

The link in my sig is for pre-rooted GB rom, If you do not want rooted one then you should download the stock firmware from the link I have provided earlier.
But it's good that your phone is up now

Can you boot in cwm recovery, if so then did you try full wipe in cwmr or flashing some other custom rom? I have seen lot of users with this issue and then wipe or fresh flash solves the issue.
And have you ever used odin earlier, just want to make sure you have proper drivers installed.

Actually, I was having the same issue as you for about six hours through the night til daybreak. Pittied myself when my experiental process came to a hault ending with the ever-so bright lightbulb beaming from my cranium. Not without the "where the hell where you five hours ago" expression S-beamed across my face. But anyway, all you would have had done is:
1) Hold the Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button (hold this last)
2) When in Recovery Mode, selcet and execute "Wipe cache partition" (FIRST), then select and execute "Wipe data/factory reset"
3) Select and execute "Reboot System Now"
4) Wait a few minutes (not the dreaded and feared time fearing that the damn thing still functions properly). And you should be greeted with the regular, expected setup process.

Wipe data/factory reset" will erase the apps and data you installed and get it back to rom defaults. but will not erase the data on internal storage like pics videos and other stuff.. It may delete the smemo snote data so be sure to make a backup

[Q] How can i install custom ICS roms on my N7000? I tried Everything !!

Hey Guys If anyone can help i would Greatly Appreciate it !!! I cant seem to install any ICS custom Roms. I came from a Ginger Bread rooted stock rom. I used Odin to flash my N7000 to ICS 4.0.3 stock ( Baseband XXLPT-Build #XXPLY) got it rooted and now using Kernel Franco#5. I tried installing Kingdroid.V4 or RocketRom.V7 ICS roms by using Abyss Kernel4.2 at CWM. I followed every step on their Forums but for some reason at installing the rom, the flashing of installing it only took 15-20 seconds installing the rom and my phone states it "Completed" the install, once i restart the phone it stays on the "Samsung Note N700 Logo" what am i doing wrong ?? Can anyone help ?
This worked for me. From the stock ICS LQ2 , i flash CWM.zip + SU... .zip to get root, then flash a safe kernel, afterwards, I flashed the custom rom from CWM and worked for me. As long as the "safe ics kernel" has mmc_cap disabled, as it is said in the OP, than i just went for it , so all is good now without any flashing abyss... Hope this helps, or gives you a boost.
Cheers.
Check the videos in my sig....you should get the answers fir everything :good:

Also, remember the issues around flashing with ICS ROMS especially if running the LPY kernel. The best guide I have found on how to do this is the one from the Rocket ROM team. Have pasted a link to the thread (scroll to the bottom of the page for process).

Thanks for the help but i tried that method and its still not installing the ics rom correctly...No one knows if this is possible to flash through odin ?
I face this problem before.. the GT-N7000 will just stay on n not go off for long long time
what i did.. when i see that screen stuck n i confirm it is stuck.. then i press vol up+power+home to reboot into recovery....
when rebooted u will see abssy 4.2 is load up.. from there you install rom n then reboot system..
it should work

I tried that method too but no luck. It installs but only took 15 seconds and it stated it was done installing, once rebooted it stood on the logo again. I have no clue as to why its not installing these ICS roms correctly.....
Litening rom does come with .tar.md5 format, maybe you can try flashing that wih PC Odin since you're comfortable with it. Link www.liteningrom.com.
1. Download the file .rar into your PC and unzip until you get .tar.md5
2. Flash using PC Odin. It will NOT trigger yellow triangle (I've tested it)
3. Your phone will reboot to STOCK recovery. Just select reboot system and WAIT. Kinda long...but just wait until it's done.
4. You can proceed to flash kernel with custom recovery by using Mobile Odin, e.g. speedmod, etc

Thanks kopitalk for the info. It worked like a charm through odin. I would of liked some of the Samsung galaxy S3 modifications on this rom but at least it worked like a charm with that Md5 File.

Dude before you brick your phone.. Go download notecore kernel and flash it via pc odin... After that you will see a yellow triangle on the boot screen.. Do not worry about it for now..
Then in the boot screen press volume up+home+power once in CWM wipe data and reboot
Once booted in Android download triangle away app and install it then follow steps to remove the yellow triangle
After that download any desired rom.. As you are gonna be in a safe kernel (yes notecore its a safe kernel) follow all the developer's steps to install the desired rom
It will basically be put the rom in the internal sd, boot to cwm (power+volume up+home) wipe data /wipe cache, choose zip from internal sd and flash the rom
REMEMBER YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS FROM A SAFE KERNEL..

As far as I can see, you have some sort of corruption in your emmc or some other partition. If i were you, to be on the safe side i would have taken all the trouble to start again from scratch. Flashing a GB rom with Odin with a .pit file and re-partitioning enabled should wipe your note clean (dont worry no brick with pc odin) . Then flash a "safe" ics kernel either by pc odin (safer and you can remove the triangle and custom flash count by triangle away app) or by cwm.zip (use only once while flashing kernel). Then choose the custom ics rom that you want to install and flash it from the new kernel recovery (no need for abyss kernel etc) with full wipe (data,cache,dalvik). Also if you face problems go through this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732903
P.S. - I highly recommend starting from scratch by re-partitioning via Odin with correct pit file.
Press the thanks button if helped.

Did I just super brick my phone?

So what I did was I was on Rocket Rom. I wanted to switch roms back to gingerbread stock to check out the diffrence in battery life. So I did a flash with Oden and all wen't fine. After that I went to stock ics 4.0.3 to check the diffrence in battery life. After I've seen enough of stock ics I wanted to go to classic rom v6. At first I flashed it with Odin but it got stuck at the gt n-7000 logo. I then reflashed it again and I still had the same problem. I then reverted back to stock ics but it won't work with Odin. I get stuck at factoryfs.img, and If I try odin with gingerbread it goes a little further but is then also stuck.
Did I super brick my phone?
Edit: I also can't get in recovery anymore, only in download mode. My pc picks up my phone if I connect it
I did some factory wipes etc but I'm not certain on which kernel/rom I was then.
You seem to have soft bricked your phone!
Take your battery out for 15 seconds, put it back in and hit the keys to get into download mode: VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER!
After you are in download mode flash HydraCore kernel on your phone (is it a safe kernel)
After your phone reboots to the same steps as above but instead of VOL DOWN, hit VOL UP + HOME + POWER
AND you should enter recovery mode!
In there do a full wipe which consists in:
wipe data and factory reset
wipe cache
Mounts and storage -> format /system
Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
And flash the rom and you are good to go

Force it to reboot and do the same steps to reenter recovery!

Think that's a flash count. If you go into download mode it may have a count for custom flashes. If so you need to use triangle away to clear it.

That error is usually caused by an incompatible update-binary in edify ZIPs. Replacing it with a compatible one, then re-signing the ZIP, will usually fix that error,
Bottom line, something's wrong with your cwmr, henceforth you can't install ROMs from there..(unless you fix your updater script and update the binary file in cwmr). For now, just use PC Odin to flash your custom ROM.

^its partly related on that...
tell you what, have you tried first running the partition scan on your device to check for bad /corrupted blocks? if not yet, do try running that program... you can verify for yourself that your Note might or might not have those bad blocks already... run it first and post your results here after.

Wel looks like its stuck?
This is what it displays:

/dev/block/mmcb1k0p1
scanned 19 MiB = 20 MB Completed --> OK
/dev/blockmmcb1k0p10
That's what it shows
EDIT: Oh wait I've downloaded this one 120824-151927-emmc_scan_all_partitions_once.zip - [Click for QR Code] (400.7 KB, 468 views)
I think I should download the one with brick and start, sorry for confusing you
Ok so I ran the program starting from 0 and and it stopped at 1023MiB so it means that block or the blocks after that are bricked.
Any possible solution?
Thanks
^ so listen, now that you've verified you have some bad blocks on your phone, the only other method you can do is using the pit file method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886, (credits still to hg42), this will in itself will partition your file system to get over those bad blocks (drawback on the end result is that you will lose much ram on your phone) but still have a working phone nonetheless.

Well can I get rid of that yellow triangle without a jtag since I can't boot up and run Triangle Away. Because if I cant I will go to the pit file method. Otherwise I will send it to a samsung service
EDIT: I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663237
Where you flash a kernel that would reset binary counter and removes the yellow triangle. Downside is that it has caused many hard bricks but since I'm already hard bricked it wouldn't matter I assume? So then I can safely return it to my samsung point.

yeah if you can find a way to use a usb jig to reset your binary counter theh your good to go in sending your phone to SSC.

Help please..my Note is stuck at the "Samsung" glowing word and can't finish booting
I have an international Note and I was still on the factory Gingerbread. After I chose to update my note since it states that it is available for wi-fi download in the setting, it would download the new firmware (I believe) and after it finished the installation, my note got stuck at the "Samsung" word and would not finish rebooting. Now I cannot use my Note at all.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Thanks.

I have an international Note and I was still on the factory Gingerbread. After I chose to update my note since it states that it is available for wi-fi download in the setting, it would download the new firmware (I believe) and after it finished the installation, my note got stuck at the "Samsung" word and would not finish rebooting. Now I cannot use my Note at all.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Thanks.

hey, hope yr installaion didnt happen right way.
and please if you think you have downloaded installations and updated.
now u would be on stock ics rom. never ever wipe cache or data as this can triger "emmc brick bug" and hard brick yr phone.
what i would suggest is
1.go to sammobile and download latest available stock firmware for yr region.
2.get yr phone to download mode.
3.then using pc odin flash the rom.
this should get yr phone back to working.

remove battery and insert and hold the power button for about 8 to 10 secs and then see yr luck

If he was doing an official upgrade i wont suggest him to do a factory reset in recovery as he may now be on a brick bug ics kernel. PC odin with an official rom from sammobile is the solution.
I would flash a safe kernel and then perform factory reset or at least clear cache. The update will certainly be ics 4.04 so you run the risk of a superbrick under ics stock ROM.

Since no body knows what state he is in.
And the OP also don't know what state it is in
I suggest to download a gingerbread rom and flash through odin.
If ur update not successful and u r still in gb, yes u can wipe.
But if it is successful and u r on ics with stock kernel, u will be in trouble if u wipe.
Just download a gingerbread rom, and flash through odin. Read dr. Ketan post first on how to do.
If ur phone run alrd, later on u can think of upgrade to latest ics.
Good luck!

I can second that. Go for a GB rom using pc odin.

I don't think this time Any place have a gingerbread update
Though just to confirm - Reboot to recovery
And select update zip from Ext Sd card
-If you need. To use Home button to select it - your recover is still GB, still safe side, flash stock GB kernel and wipe cache and data
-If you need to use power button to select
Recovery is ICS
Flash hydracore kernel and wipe cache and data
Just do recovery test as I said and if you have any query will write exact steps here.

If he is on ICS recovery, better to go with Philz kernel because it can be flashed from stock. PhilzLR9 works on all Stock ICS 4.0.4 versions that i have tried

Can't Get into recovery!! PLEASE HELP

:crying:
So I was in CM 10 and I want to install Modern Combat 4 with 1GB of data. SO, I have to do a swap first because oir internal storage is only 0.90 GB (CMIIW). After I edit the vold.ftab file and then I reboot the phone. But, it won't go to home screen. The only thing I can see is the SAMSUNG LOGO and the Galaxy Mini 2 logo. I think by reinstall CM10 via recovery would fix it. The problem is it won't go to recovery. When I trying to press Power + Up + Down + Menu, it do nothing. It even won't boot up
I have installed STOCKROM via Odin. But I still got a bootloop. Maybe cause the /system of CM10 is still inside.
Flash stock again if you will hawe bootlop turn out batery flash via odin cwm and try go to cwm and wipe ewerything in cwm you hawe botloop becase you flash stock whitout wipe and formating system
Flach the CWM again via odin then install tha CM10 via CWM its so easy

regarding the game youre trying to install.. you dnt have to edit the vold.fstab.. just use the "directory bind" app.. made by a member of xda developers.. i forgot his name..
do a manual binding.. and you can play games regardless of the data size.. as long as you have a big ext_sd storage
i can play need for speed most wanted HD which has 1.8gb of data.. and it runs faster than sd card swap.
i have same problem
i can't go to recovery with stock
or with cwm
download mode is ok but when trying to get into recovery the phone do no thing

Go in recovery mode flash CWM and reinstall CM10
boot into recovery and clear cache and data before you flash new rom otherwise you may get bootloop
Do this:
turn off phone
vol- + turn on (like if you want to go to Download mode)
now home, vol- and fast vol+
congratulation you are in recovery !

Phone reboots after flashing stock rom with ODIN :(

Today I was with Cyanogenmod 10.1 but I decieded to put Stock 2.3.6. I downloaded it from samfirmware and flashed it via ODIN. Then phone rebooted as normal but stuck ot samsung logo, vibrated and then vibrated two fast times. I putted CMW but I can't get into it. I can only get into download mode. The phone is just rebooting.. I reflashed with ODIN but no result. What to do ?
Reflash stock rom then flash cwm and then wipe data cache dalvik format system and reflash stock rom.
Same problem after installing Cyanogenmod 10, i can't enter in recovery i try to reflash many times recovery and firmware but nothing...
I can only enter in download mode, because i get bootloops in samsung logo.
Any idea?
and what do you mean by "can enter recovery?"

follow these :
1. flash stock gb using odin
2. by pressing the button for ur phone which takes u into stock recovery mode, do a factory reset..
3. now reboot and u wont have any boot loops..
the method in 2nd post is not at all suggested since stock GB has nothing to do with insecure/nand recovery...it only makes things unstable afaik..
gudluck..
just hold the buttons a little longer.. I had the same problem like ~2-3 months ago. Make sure you wipe data before re-flashing stock, since Odin is not doing that.

I hold the buttons for 2-3 minutes, but nothing...
And after flashing CMW 5.0.2.8 or 6.0.2.8 with ODIN nothing happens too...
flash with re-parition (select pit file).. but I have never done that, so... I guess that's the only way to wipe data. I had a similar problem, flashed stock without wiping data and got bootloop. At first I couldn't get into recovery, but later on I somehow could. When exactly you get bootloop? After the GT-S6500 boot logo? What device D/I/T etc. What ROM/recovery you had when you flashed stock? (including dates and versions)
Next time provide more info, we don't have a crystal ball.
I have an idea - can somebody give me stock 2.3.6 but full firmware package (PIT, BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE and CSC).
There is no bootloader to flash. Those one-package tars are the only packages. Answer to the above questions. Learn to describe your problem properly.

Yeah, it checks automatically when I select the .pit file.
Take out battery for some time, put it back in and then try.
