Did I just super brick my phone? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Omg if this works, then I buy you a beer

Ok I did a succesfull flash on the kernel. Now I can boot up in recovery mode and I wanted to wipe data but it's stuck at it
Message is:
CWM-based recovery v6.0.1.2
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
and there it's stuck, any idea?

Force it to reboot and do the same steps to reenter recovery!
When in recovery do: Advanced -> Reboot recovery
Then try to flash a cyanogenmod rom directly and gapps
For example this one:

But i will explain afterwards

Can I also try RocketRom or Kingdroid v8 by dr tailly or alliencerom? Or can I try to flash stock ics with Odin?
Since I don't have cyanogenmod currently and I'm kinda low on bandwitch, or is it a must?

Does the data wipe have something to do with that yellow triangle I get when I boot up the phone at the gt n-7000 logo?

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.

Yes indeed, now it says I have 1 count.

I can't seem to use any rom to recover from trough the recovery mode. They all seem to fail?
Everytime I get an error (status 0)
Anyone a clue on what to do now?

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.

But the problem is I can't flash any roms from pc odin because they seem to be stuck at factoryfs.img, and I googled that problem and that seems to be related to a super brick

^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.

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.

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.

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.

[Q] GT-I9000M Root Fail? Rescue advice please!

Hello All,
Here's another newbie sinking in quicksand........
I was attempting to root my GT-I9000M (2.3.3) and got into a boot loop situation (alternately displaying GT-I9000M and GT-I9000). I have tried a wide variety of rescue and restore packages, but without success. I am able to get into REBOOT and DOWNLAD mode and install via Odin, but it still goes into a boot loop (or shuts down after flash). Boot errors are appearing (not flash errors) but I won`t go into details here. I have read many threads and made many attempts at different strategies. The bottom line is that the phone won`t boot.
Given these circumstances (failed root, reboot errors), what is the best plan of attack? I don`t expect anyone to solve this directly. If anyone can give me a push in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gord

Yes. I said reboot instead of recovery above. The error says ``E:failed to mount sdcard (File exists)`` and ``... your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions`` ``Media files copy failed.``
Does this make any sense?
you can try to flash cwm via odin and flash a custom rom in cwm that should be the easy'st method

I have put the Semaphore ICS 1.2.6 on via Odin.
I can get into the recovery area, (home + vol up + pwr) wipe partition, factory reset, reboot through Semaphore CWM Recovery v5.02.7
It freezes on the "Galaxy S GT-I9000" boot screen.
If I "failed" (big time) to get root access BEFORE I have done this, is the phone hard bricked? Or can I still recover this?
I have tried everything in this thread and a lot of things from several other threads.

Use odin to install the rom. Install odin on your PC. Press Power+volume down + home button to get into download mode and connect the phone to your PC and start Odin. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573392 for the related files and rom. Then later you can install any ROM that you want.

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

Can't you read?? If I want to do a full wipe, I have to go to the recovery first. Oh god!!
flash cwm again..
then go to recovery..
wipe everything
then flash stock rom via odin
or restore a nandroid backup.

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

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.

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 !

please help me

if you did not wipe your phone before flashing stock rom then it is alright coz you can always redo it. From what you have mentioned, it sounds like you disconnected your phone in the middle of flashing process? Check if you can get into recovery mode and do the wipes (be on safe kernel) and then check if you can get into download mode and start the flashing process again. Never disconnect phone while flashing ROM.

when you press the volume up+power+home button you get recovery and if you can get into recovery check to make sure it is philz recovery and not the stock recovery, if it is stock recovery then flash the philz kernel (zip file) again and if you cannot get into recovery mode at all, just see if you are able to get into download mode (volume down+power+home) connect to computer, open pc odin (com ID:somenumber should show up) put the tar.md5 in PDA and start.
Can you not create multiple threads for the same issue please. Seeing as this one has replies I've deleted the other one.

As i mentioned it is alright that you did not wipe anything, just flash the rom again and then philz kernel , do the wipes and you can do this process again, it hardly takes an hour for this whole process.

...But , i could access to Download Mode *(Volume Down+Power+Home) , I couldn't get access to Recovery Mode only *(it turns Black Screen & keep me waiting so long) .
I thought problem solves if I couldn't change another Custom Rom , but i can't even BOOT into recovery mode.
THANKS Brothers for solving here, THanks THanks. (I'm urgent for it too..)

Flash philz kernel (.tar) from pc odin while in download mode (latest version). See if you can get into recovery, if you can, download and put the CM rom+gapps on external sd card, flash without any wipes from recovery or if you did take any nandroid backup you can restore that from philz kernel.

download philz kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
download the one that says .tar instead of .zip. put the phone into download mode. Open PC odin, connect phone to pc, COM ID should light up in yellow with some number. click on PDA and choose the .tar file and click on start. once it is finished, reboot into recovery and see if it works. You can fix the counter and yellow triangle later with Triangle away application.

Is the Kernel version essential? Since Philz v5.11.2 has several Kernels you can choose from, where as you cannot check which one you have running since the phone does not boot anymore.
correct , you're right!

still waiting for a clear answer to proceed the steps.
Philz Kernel may need a LINK here. maybe URL ?
THanks ALL ! feel that solutions are near now.
as you cannot check, you can download the one for your region, check on sammobile.com/firmwares for which one is for your region and i already gave the link to the philz kernel, i wont post the direct url for the file.
Basically got my phone to boot, CWM is still broken, anyway to work with this?

It doesn't matter which kernel you flash, you're just flashing to give you recovery and then you can flash cm and gapps. It won't boot, it's not supposed to.

Not sure I'm in the same boat...
is anyone seeing the same as I am - I also can't boot into Recovery since nightly 20130824. I can boot into Download mode... and... I can still boot into my current CM10.2 nightly (20130824)!!!
I've tried reflashing CWM using ROM Manager, even a few times... but nothing changes. Trying to get into recovery using VolUp+Home+Pwr doesn't work (after Samsung GT-N7000 white text... blackscreen (which I can see is still 'on'). If I try to boot into recovery using Rom Toolbox or similar, it behaves the same and I can only get it to reboot into the ROM once I've pulled the battery out and then put it back in and connected to a charger so the battery charging icon shows... which somehow clears the 'boot into recovery' flag somewhere.
Very concerned... saw something in the changelogs back at 20130824 about recovery fixes and wondered if this might happen. The first time I got it to boot back into the ROM something wasn't quite right with the internal/external SD mounts... all my ringtones and alerts etc. were reset to just numbers (e.g. 40125) which actually happens more often than I expect... but this time I couldn't find the ones I usually use in the selection list.
I rebooted with SD card out... then re-inserted it... and then things went back to how they should be and I could see and select my preferred tones again.
Have tried booting into Recovery via app, via hw keys... with SD card in, SD out... SIM card in... SIM out... both SD and SIM out... there's just no way into recovery.
Using ROM Manager I also tried to setup the alternative Recovery (TWRP) but that also gets stuck with the message 'ROM Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation'. but same behaviour when trying to boto into recovery.
I've also used Android Root Toolkit to try save/protect Root... Restore Root.. etc. but to no avail.
Any ideas... please?
EDIT: Thanks for the Odin3 / PhilZ Kernel advice - that seemed to work.
Question: Now that I've got back to recovery and updated to nightly of 20130826, did I overwrite PhilZ kernel?
yes
Yes,
ideas:
Read the rom thread, fixes there
