[Q] Is my note superbricked?

Hi,
Tried to install Kingdroid 1.5 yesterday. since than I'm trying to fix my note with no success.
This is what I tried to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652831
I failed to do the following step:
-We went into recovery and install this kernel without leaving the recovery going to advanced and reboot in recovery
And the rom was not installed successfully.
because of panic, tried to restore my device to stock ICS from a previous backup - failed.
Tried another backup of GB - Failed.
Tried ODIN for Stock ICS and succeeded.
After success on this, tried restoring again to my previous backup, and since than I'm stuck on " factoryfs.img"
Tried Abd, but my device was not recognized on 3 Win machines and 1 linux box.
I have download mode available, and also recovery mode.
Currently, I'm bricked, thinking to take it to the shop I bought it at...
Any other Ideas?
Thanks a lot!

If you have download mode available, then you're not bricked, only soft-bricked perhaps.
Try flashing again with Odin...
From my knowledge, superbricks occur when wiping on an unsafe ICS kernel, such as old i9220 leak repack, LPY...

in fact all ics kernel will have chances of superbricks, since he trying to restore....which wipe data will take place... that is superbrick i think

CM9 kernels, based on i9100 update 4 are safe. That makes official Cyanogen Mod 9 Nightlies and ROMs like Asylum and ParanoidAndroid safe
From his post I got that he was able to flash official ICS with Odin once, meaning it didn't get stuck at factory.fs...so...might be still hope

From what I get, we should add another one to the long list of hard bricks.

If you are stuck on NAND write, factoryfs.img you are super bricked. Sorry......
I'm guessing you tried restoring your backup in CWM??

My Galaxy note is stuck on black screen no response from buttons just black screen.
This was after I did a wipe data and installed CM9 rom.
What options do I have, will one of these jtag dongles help me?
I just saw some ebay sellers offering an unbrick service for about £21 (im in the uk) where you post it to them to fix.
Any help appreciated

I think you have SOD.Its a known issue with cm9 to have SOD's.Sorry to ask this silly question,did you try to pull out the battery and boot he phone???

What is SOD ?
Yes pulled the battery, but cant get anything from phone. Even if I put it on charge nothing.. just a black screen

SOD is screen of death.Its nothing but when deep sleep the phone doesnt wake up again and needs to be restarted.
try to put the phone in download mode though the screen is not seen and connect it to odin and see if it gets detected.

Tried to put it in download not mode but buttons are not responding, nothing when I connect to pc either

You are Superbricked. Get your phone to a Samsung Service cetre for the motherboard replacement.
JTag is not an option here, it won't work.

ooopppsss ok thanks.

I even tried re-partitioning using Odin and PIT file. seems that it is always stuck on the same spot.

[Q] Need to straight up nuke my I9000 - Many an issue

Hey guys, it's been a while!
Anyway, before I even got my I9000 I had everything sorted to install Darky's ROM and the Speedmod kernel. Some time between them working perfectly and now, I plugged the phone in to Kies and it has tried to update me to GB. SM and DR did not like this.
I managed to do a factory reset (or whatever it is in CWM), and that got the phone to boot, but it isn't pretty. I get the kind of graphical messing up that a dying GPU would render whilst booting the phone, it reboots 25% of the time I am using the music player, and I can NOT boot in to download or recovery any more. I already tried plugging it in to Kies in the hopes it could just wipe the phone over and start again, but it simply does not recognise it.
Likewise, I would look in to the files I need to just do the equivalent of a full format with Odin/ADB, but without download mode I don't think that would even work.
So, the question is; just what the **** am I supposed to do?

USB recovery jig.

can you get into your phone ??????????? I mean can you reach Settings ???? because I didnt read all your speech .

Search for "recovery.tar" and flash it with MOBILE Odin, this would give u cwm and flash a new rom in cwm or flash a stock rom with mobile Odin. Good luck

Mobile Odin? Interesting, will look in to it.
EDIT: This recovery.tar; should it be on my phone already or do I have to find one? Because Astro can't find jack **** on my phone.
EDIT2: Scratch that, found it. Trying to flash it using "Open File..." has just resulted in it being stuck at:
"Flashing...
Flashing Kernel..."
for the last 10 minutes...
Thanks for the replies so far guys!

solved it ???????????

Nope. Sorry, I have been editing that post rather than enter new posts (until someone else posts, of course).
EDIT: Still flashing...

Ok, it now won't boot at all (stuck at the Samsung splash load screen), BUT, importantly, I can get in to download mode and CWM recovery.
What do I download and do to entirely wipe the **** out of this phone and start again?
EDIT:
Fixed. Sorted. Thanks for your help guys, it is much appreciated.

so my brother brought me his semi bricked n7000 "btw i searched and googled"

so my brother brought me his semi bricked n7000 "btw i searched and googled"
well, yesterday my brother brought me his cellphone which doesn't boot anymore, he wanned to install a custom rom since he saw that i have a fast one (galaxy s I)
so when i asked him what he did , he said he followed all the steps in rootgalaxynoteDOTcom/galaxy-note-roms/kingdroid-ics-rom-v3-0-for-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-best-ics-romtouchwiz-ux/[/url]
but then, his phone didn't boot, so he wiped - reset factory setting, which i read is a BIG NO when you're flashing ICS.
so whats done is done, i am trying to get it back , i can boot in recovery mode/download mode ... i tried out many kernels like AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo or speedmod, and downloaded at least 4 or 5 GB stock roms.
sadly , if odin flash is successful, it stuck on (samsung galaxy note gt-n7000) black srcreen, reboots few times then stays still...
if the odin flash wasn't successful , it keeps stuck on data.img and never goes beyond that .
i did all the steps i could find, wiped data after installed stock GB rom and rebooted, nothing worked
i even used rogue_ET-recoveryonly , and i think it went along format all the way, but still nothing happened after that.
the only thing i haven't tried yet was the repartition + pit file, i couldn't find the PIT , most of the roms have pda/modem/csc ... so if anyone can help out, i would really appreciate it ..
thanks

First thing you should do is check other threads about that around here.
If you can get it into download mode, you could give flashing with Odin a try. If it doesn't get stuck at factory.fs, then you're not superbricked.
If it does get stuck, then you have 2 more hopes:
- HOPE 1
- HOPE 2
If those don't work either...I'm afraid it's off to the Samsung Service center for a shiny new motherboard.
Best of luck to you and hope you get your Note up and running as soon as possible...

thanks, no it doesn't get stuck at factoryfs at all , i did check out most of the threads here, and most of them say "go back to GB with odin and if its stuck on samsung gt-n7000 boot screen just go back with recovery mode and then wipe data / cache " but never worked, so i thought i should ask around here
i'll check out the threads you posted and see what i can come up with

weird, i used the 16gb pit - repartition (check)
and i flashed it with SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS through odin.
and its still the same, the flashing with odin was successful and everything went fine, no hanging , no delays or what so ever. after it restarts its stuck on the black samsung galaxy note gt-n7000 screen
im gonna wipe data / cache again but i doubt that would fix anything.
so any idea what could be wrong? specially when the flashing process went fine?
i've already tried like 4 stock roms ,
arabic uae , europe , saudia and the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS
i wonder if i need to put something in boot space in odin "just a thought"
ive tried downloading roms from here [STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1place,Latest ICS LQ3
and here [STOCK ODEX PRE ROOTED ROMs] for Odin PC no counter & triangle
any ideas?

For OP:
If you are not stucking while flashing from PC Odin then you are not superbricked.
I think you got corrupted /system or other partition; I saw another thread where OP was getting this sort of hang due to filesystem corruption which can't mount.
Entropy512 gave simple dd command based solution for erasing initial 1MB of partition.
Try searching for corrupted filesystem/partition related information. I can't recall exact thread title, sorry.
I hope this will help.

Should try to install/reinstall samsung usb driver package. or try reinstall Kies also provide drivers for Note.
If driver is install properly: when connect with PC using usb cable it need to be shown under hardware management as something like "android composite adb interface" or something like that.

Also are you trying to connect adb after booting the phone ? Means in a stuck state ? I think you can try enabling ADB thing from CWM rather than trying to boot phone fully.

hmm i can't find an option in CWM that suggests that , still searching
also im trying to find roms that i can install from CWM , are there any GB roms that can be directly installed from CWM ?
thanks.

Hi: I understand he means boot the phone into CWM and then connect to PC in that environment. adb need to be run from PC while the phone is booted into CWM recovery.
Still, most of the custom roms are in the .zip format and can be install using CWM. they just now become a bit more difficult to find since dev move on to ICS/CM9 roms. Still try to find some GB roms in the forum such as: rocket GB, litening GB, xtralite GB....
This is the link for Rocket rom GB. Better try v22 than v23.

Yes, recovery mode is in CWM. (in case you have not done it: Enter recovery by,from phone power off: pressing volumeup + home + power and release power when see samsung letter while still hole the other two buttons.)

hmm. that should be still the problem with usb driver. Have you checked under hardware management if it show the device as "samsung composite adb interface" yet?
kernel should not be the problem with connecting adb. It is the problem with usb driver for Note. Sometime Win7 have problem with driver. You may want to search for another package of samsung usb driver on the web.
I did put some links of GB roms in the post in the previous page. maybe try them first if any luck.
Also try to restart computer to see if the driver issues get solved.
Got to go. Hope that you can solve the problem. GL.

thanks, i restarted my pc , reinstalled kies, and now it shows under device manager
now i connect to the phone through adb , i appreciate you pointing it out
which method you think i should go for 1st? this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12
or unzipping a rom and then pushing it all through adb?
i think i'll go for removing and repartitioning manually, hopefully it'll work
thanks again guys , i'll post the updates here,
lol, my brother called me and he's like "if u can't fix it by the end of the night, fk it, dont bother yourself with it" but to be honest, im too stubborn, i hope i can fix it

looks like deleting and adding partitions back through parted kinda work, for the first time i was able to pass the boot screen after i installed rocketrom from CWM
however, its been 1/2 hour since im stuck on rocketrom loading screen it keeps looping and looping.. i wonder if i should wait more.. or should i try another rom?

finally got rid of the verification -.- was kinda annoying thats why i didn't bother editing posts,
anyways, rocketrom didn't work, so i decided to flash a stock rom instead , the flash through odin went fine, it was great to be able to wipe data without getting stuck , however, it keeps going though samsung animation over and over, i think im gonna leave it like this one the charger till morning, i wonder if it'll be the same
guess i have to google for "samsung loop" , i wonder why this keeps happening though -.-

-.- leaving it for 6 hours on samsung logo animation didn't do the trick , still looping when i woke up, so i guess i'll do some more search on why this is happening.

You have checked partitions and see no error that means the problem lies somewhere else, not partitions. I have no idea yet, but for me I would try some different roms. Small roms have more chance to work, that is the feedback I got from some people:
- try check rom in the link I sent
- try paranoid android which is CM9, or asylum
- extralite
cheers.

thanks buddy, i appreciate your help, the partition "USED" to give me error when i did the check 9 10 11 , but after removing the partition and reformatting them (and i also removed the cache partition) now its working fine "i suppose" i didn't do another check, but i might will now that you mention it.
i already tried rocket rom, didn't work, stock rom didn't work, so i'll give the others a try at least it doesn't get stuck on the boot screen, but its stuck on the animation logo which is an improvement
thanks again

I9305 is it bricked?

Hi Guys.
Got an I9305 here, I rooted it (apparently fine), then (via recovery) flashed a cusom ROM, rebooted but it stayed on the I9305 screen. Now I can't get to recovery, it will go to download but I can detect it via heimdall, and it still wont boot. Have I killed it or is there anything I can do to resurect it? I've been searching the forums here for ages, but I'm just going in circles with getting any closer to a solution.
Ideas?
-S

If you can get download mode then try flashing a stock ROM via Odin.
You're still in luck when you have download mode, when you don't have that or recovery then you start worrying.
PS: don't forget you have a I9305 when searching for a stock ROM.

OK got it connect now, I've used Heimdall several times on my I9300 without problem so I think it's a hardware problem. I flashed a new recovery and can now get to that when needed but it still wont let me boot any ROMs I flash, it just hangs at the I9305 screen. Is there anyway I can reset the custom binary count from Heimdall/Odin or recovery so I can send it back to get replaced/fixed?

Try this before doing anything drastic, It's stock but rooted but do it through Odin.

These roms you've been flashing, do they contain a kernel? Hanging on boot screen can be indicative of a couple of things, firstly, if you have the wrong kernel, fix that. Secondly, try clearing data and cache, this can work wonders. Thirdly, if ADB is currently enabled, try bringing up a shell through it ("adb shell", note: not in recovery obviously, as this mode is already working fine) and type "dmesg", this will print out what the kernel is currently doing, usually if something is erroring you will see the same text re-appear multiple times. If the kernel initiation gets stuck in a loop it will literally never get out of it so that would be a good way to see that, could be a piece of hardware is damaged. Since you can get to recovery I reckon you should be able to mount system/data in that and enable ADB in android if it isn't already, I don't know how to do this though.
Good luck!

Something that's helped me before in this situation was:
Go to mounts and storage in recovery and format System, Data and Internal storage.
Then download stock firmware and Flash via Odin.
This pretty much wipes your phone of everything and gives you a fresh install

You have to wipe data after flashing a ROM

Hi Guys,
I tried flashing a stock ROM via Heimdall again, and this time it worked. The phone is still very flacky though, so I'm convinced it's a hardware issue. Managed to triangle away and get everything stock, so they should never know when I send it back for replacement ;^>
Thanks to all for your suggestions.

[Q] whats this? i9001 bricked, damaged partition? cant wipe data, do factory reset.

Hi people,

can boot recovery mode
can be flashed via odin
can NOT:
-boot to system (always hang or freeeze or shuts down when Samsung logo comes)
-data can not be wiped (Processbar starts but never really start doing something) CWM6. I had some other recoverys and they gave me some messages like can not accsess data/csc or something like these messages in other posts.
-can not do anything in recoverymode exepted, wipe cache.
-can not update zip
-can not gain accsess to sdcard ore sideby
-cant reboot in recovery.
i flashed with odin (and Aries.ops):
-broodROM_RC5
-the right StockROM
-phone seems to be bricked
-no access with Quickflash (dont know if debug mode was or is enabled)
i found some people with similar problems with other devices (i9000 // i9100), but not with the i9001. so i write it here.
always the answer was try a full wipe/reset, but i cant or dont know how to it when the recoverymod or stock recovery doesnt do it.
kind regards

I'm having the exact same problems. It all started when I updated CWM to 6.0.2.8 as recomended by ivendor, in order to flash CM10. Since then I can't wipe data partition, and no matter what I flash (through both Odin and CWM), the phone doesn't boot anymore. Tried to restore original Samsung ROM, no success... Hasn't anyone figure it out? It seems a large number of user have dealt with this issue in the last days, perhaps the coder of CWM 6.0.2.8 should explain how to fix this mess.
I went to a local phone service, and they said they can't do anything, the whole internal memory has to be replaced. I can't believe this.

No solution?
I have exectly the same problem and i tried everything. I still can get to recovery and download mode, because i didnt mess with reseting broken partition. Can this be solved? I didnt find anyhing in threads, and it seems that a lot of people have this kind of problem now. It all happend on my s+ while i was trying to flash CM10 Beta4.

repair in warranty

the recovery you have used was compiled over a 3.0 kernel, it has a bug that brick phones, like the galaxy s2 and galaxy note.

I got my phone back from service in a 4 days and they changed my motherboard. Now I have completely new motherboard (plus I didnt pay a thing because I still got warranty). Obviously they didn't find out whats wrong with my phone so they put new motherboard

I managed to "rescue" my eMMC-bricked phone by doing everything I could find about the eMMC brick bug killed my i9001. No root but I can live with that until someone comes up with a better fix.. Good luck, I wish I had a better step by step instruction list on how I did it but honestly I just frantically tried things over and over in different order and finally got it going.

I guess...
1. Get TWRP 2.2.2.1 or CWM 5.5.0.4/the new 2.6-based 6.0.2.8 CWM recovery flashed.
2. Use QuickWipe (link in my post to the OP).
3. Use ODIN 4.43 to flash that 1.4GB fixmev2.tar file (I did it at least 2-3 times during different stages)
4. Follow the instructions in the links in my post.
5. Good luck.
6. Wait for the devs to solve this problem permanently with new kernels and ROMs and thank them when they solve it.

EDIT: after it died last night (tried to force root permissions and it would no longer boot) and fiddling to get it back to working condition I tried flashing the file in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38671295&postcount=2) to reset partitions and the phone is now stone dead... a true brick.. absolutely nothing happens when I try to power up, enter recovery mode, whatever.. it's dead... stone cold..
