Are you on stock kernel? If so then flash some safe kernel and try full wipe, if that too doesn't help, then flash stock firmware using pc odin.
I am assuming you are on ICS, as you didn't provide any info. You should have mentioned the method used for root and everything.

Now i cant even get to download mode to use odin to flash GB rom. I tried flashing abyss kernel using srock ICS recovery and that's the main reason for current situation i think. Any help?

Take it to a samsung service center and ask them to reset the phone. Tell them its too slow after the latest update using kies. If there is a problem with the motherboard they will report back and replace under warranty.
Else they will install the OS completely new and you can start from scratch to root and install other custom roms.

Try using USB jig to go to download mode, try it first. Jig is not expensive.

No it's not bricked. Yes you lose your warranty, but you can unroot your Note. Don't warry Note is so good phone, that you don't need warranty

Then if it's not bricked why i need to remove the battery for 1 hour and wait an other 2 hours to finally open my phone after a simple turn off? Thats why i want the warranty so i can take the phone to samsung and fix this issue. And im afraid to unroot it cause when ever i try to put my phone on recovery mode its stucks and take for ever to open againm\

Black screen. Help!

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I got my Galaxy Note a few weeks ago.
And today I tried to root it, but I think somehow it went wrong, now my Note could be turnned on, but the screen just stayed black. No logo, just sounds. The two 'buttons' below would light up too.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Okay, I tried to root it using a pre-rooted rom, N7000DXLC2 and some md5 and tar file that came along with it, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly, my actual baseband is LR1 and the kernel is LR2.
At first, after attempting to root it, I kinda of did it successfully, I reached the green android alien place, but there's alot of pop up saying that this progress ended (something like that, couldn't remember.)
So I decided, to find and download my actual baseband's stock rom and try to use Odin to flash it, it succeeded, but the problem is, my screen is staying black this time, But I know that my phone is still working, just that the screen is not displaying anything..
Are you able to get into download mode?
When you tried to flash the rooted ROM in ODIN was it a 3 part file or a single file?
Did you setup ODIN correctly as per instructions on this site?

Ok -
You can get back into download mode - what happens when you try to flash a stock GB ROM in PC Odin, *Use a 1 part file from here*
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26455511#post26455511
You need to provide as much info as you can otherwise it is hard to help...
In ODIN - You said it was setup correctly? Where did you confirm this?

Read it carefully and do it at your own risk if you decide to flash it.
I don't think it'll work.. I'm already back on my actual baseband, its just the problem with the screen, its black and it won't display anything. My phone is still working.

Are you on a complete STOCK setup? or custom kernel?
This is very odd - sounds like possible hardware fault if your phone is working but no screen - You definitely flashed the correct ROM yeah? I would still give a try to reflashing the STOCK GB via PC Odin..
Question - When you goto Download Mode - Do you see the Android Guy? If so there's something wrong with your flashed ROM and not a screen fault so a re-flash should resolve that..
+1, Definitely not a screen problem if you are able to go in download mode & see the green guy.
Just try to reflash via PC odin a GB ROM.

First sorry for my english.
If your phone is open but screen is not open. TRY following steps.
Flash this rom with Odin ( N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1_N7000XXLB2_HOME.tar )
Kernel: CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5
if loading stop to hidden.img dont worry. try again loading rom.
i think solving the problem.

I would go with this route as well
@OP, I think what messed up your phone is you inadvertently flash either a wrong kernel..(a kernel meant for GB but your already on ICS or the other way around as well)
had the same issue you have before... **** I flashed a kernel not design for our NOTE....
After that, my phone just stays black.. but I could actually go to download mode... so what I did? Flashed it back to GB stock and work my way from there...
Hope that helps something bud

Erm.. I've downloaded the CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5, but when I open it up its a zImage file.

Bricked via CWM

I flashed via CWM MUI v.3 cuz the v.4 needed v3 due a bug but it hang on flashing boot.IMG. so i had to took out battery. Since then no charging / detection / download mode by buttons. Possible Ultimate brick?
Can access recovery mode?
Thanks

Dr. Ketan,
Black screen no detection no recovery
First make sure your battery is not completely empty. Try to charge with external charger or manage for other battery
Still nothing then manage for JIG as last option
Dr. KEtan,
I bricked the note with 95% then removed battery to prevent drain while briked. Will try JIG tonight., Will let u know

What do you think it is related with brick? Is it your fault of kernel or ROM fault. It is really annoying situation... Im sorry for your loss man...
Im not really an expert on android, but i would consider myself an advanced user so correct me if im wrong....
Couldnt it be, that the boot.img from the rom got corrupted somehow and thats the reason why it hanged while flashing it? Coz as of how i understood what the boot.img is used for, it would explain why u cant boot in recovery/dl-mode. Simply coz there is no bootloader on ur phone. Just an idea...

Yeah, I agree, if you tell them you just had to do a factory reset because it got really slow and laggy than they shouldn't have a problem. They wouldn't bill you either unless they had prior authorization.

First off before you start quoting other threads in other fourms, take a minute to get your facts in order.. Miui for the note has not been released to the public as of this date because it has the possibility to brick you device as it has the unsafe Samsung kernel (yes the same kernel as your stock note ), so if your running Miui on your note than your running a leaked version (then in that case you should know the risk involved) that is either running the stock kernel or it has one of the hydracore versions as it is the only option miui has at the moment unless your on one of the cm versions. So not defending either the rom/kernel he was trying to flash or what he was coming from as he really doesn't state either .. it would help if he provided such information. Sorry to the owner but before you get your device JTAGGED you may want to check with a samasung service center because the JTAGGED will void your warranty..

No ,CWM will not erase or even touch the bootloaders ,only PC ODIN can do that ,boot.img refers to the kernel ,I've had a corrupted boot.img flash once ,easily solved via PC ODIN ,the phone would start up and show the logo but nothing more if that happens .I doubt that's the case here but you could try a blind flash in PC odin and see if that works .

How you explain the phone stays black screen after hanging in CWM with boot.img? U suggest my board broke by accident? Someone can explain?
Could it be,
that,,,, i forgot to reboot after flashing the Hydrakernel... and eMMC bricked the bootloader perhaps? since the bootloader is stored on the chip as well?

forgotten unlock code

i got a problem with a Samsung Galaxy i9000, a friend of mine forgot his his unlock figure, so i tried to reset it with the Google account, but he couldnt even remember the mail-adress.
Are there any ohter ways to unlock / reset the phone?
I have tried to use the Download manager to reset it, but the phone bootet up without the download manager popping up, also its not possible to do a hard reset by using key combinations.
I tried to use the emergency function to type the hard reset code, but it also didnt work :/
I really dont have any more ideas, can you maybe give me some tips that i could try?
I'm sorry for my bad english , but i hope you can understand what kind of problem i have
thanks

Got device back from samsung

Hello,
Ik bricked my phone last week. Did something stupid, tried to format with CMW.zip. Very bad i know.
Because i needed the phone asap, i send it to samsung
Went to pick it up today, with the message that i lost my warranty. I can live with that.
When i turn on my device i get the message that there is no firmware installed and i need to connect it to samsung KIES.
What do you guys recommend? I can get in Download Mode, but not in CWM menu. Possible they removed the failed root i installed before.
I cannot connect to KIES, think you all know KIES is a sh*t program.
What do you guys advise me? Root again trough download mode and install CM, or try and connect to KIES with different PC.
Regards,
Joao

Thanks for your reply, i have no idea why Samsung gave me a blank firmware back. Can i just update it with http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3
Here i can find the stock ROM's.
You think Samsung change the Motherboard? Because they told me i lost my warranty and i cannot update legaly anymore...
Regards
Samsung usually loads the firmware and returns the phone. Now sure why no in in this case.
Yes you can download the stock firmware from sammobile.com and flash via odin. But if you choosing ics make sure not to wipe till a safe kernel is installed. I would suggest philz. That way the phone will be rooted as well. Hope that have changed the mb.
Flash the firmware and hope for the best.

[Q?] URGENT Help with Soft Brick!!

Help me out guys i really need save my phone.
i have been trying to update my 2.3.6 to 4.3 (Jellybean) through Odin since I always got some weird stopping at 69% on Kies, but i seemed to fail on odin, Odin was failing to do it so i tried other odin ver and got stuck on the ''NAND Write Start'' thing, i exited odin and then tried something else i'm very stupid so i used a pit for the wrong version of my android to..help in whatever it was i dont remember, together with the ROM.
i didn't check if my phone was aleadry bricked after i force closed odin in patching in the first time so i don't know the root of the problem.
and i don't know if this is Soft or full brick but i get stuck at Firmware Upgrade encountered a issue, Kies does not help in it when i type the cellphone info into that option, it gives me a error so no way through kies. i didn't do any way yet to try to save it i'm really unsure what to do i checked really a bunch of different posts so its really confusing, i really get in panic when stuff like this happens so forgive me, i hope anyone can help in somehow, also, if better i need to save it in a way without having to wipe my stuff because most of my apps data are in the phone, but i dont mind if theres no other way than using wiping in one of the steps.
i don't really know how to follow if you link me over a thread so its better if you post the explanation here.

You must do factory reset when you go from GB to JB. That is why you get a bootloop probably.
So to make it short situations is like this:
1. You had problem with Kies
2. Tried with Odin and got force close of odin in Windows?
3. Retry with Kies with same ending
So what Windows do you use? Do you use 8? I read some had problem with Odin and 8.x. Did you use Odin 3.0.x?

Yeah, forced closed odin 2 times, kies like stopped and disconnected everything on 69% leaving only the android on downloading screen but that didnt brick it, i use windows 7, odin 3.09 only gave me fails so i used 3.07 where it got stuck on nand thing.
also, any ways to backup things even though the thing is bricked? i can go to download mode fine and i think i can go into recovery too (never tried it on this phone)

Your internal data (on internal SD) will be there, but Factory reset will delete your apps and its data.
Or try to flash GB with ODIN and see what happens.

It is probably soft, you can go to Odin. Way to unbrick it is to flash stock firmware with Odin - like you did. Find GB firmware and flash it with odin like you did.

If your phone is I9070 then use firmware for I9070, if it is I9070P use I9070P firmware. If you miss this you will hardbrick phone, and not be able to use Download mode.
And do not use Hong Kong firmware.
sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com are sites where you can find firmwares.
You were on custom ROM when you did update with Kies?

Use region next to you, I am using Italian and I am from Serbia. I do not know if you will get nand write error, you should not get it in first place. Maybe something is wrong with it...

I am not 100% sure about that. Maybe try other ODIN versions. But I used 3.0.7 without problem. Search for nand write problem to see what is it about.
P.S. Redownlaod firmware maybe, is it the same size as shown on the page when you started download?

Yeah um it was, as i said Odin 3.09 only failed while 3.07 got stuck in nando. isnt there someone that knows about that nando thing? i readed alot but i dont think i can really find a good answer.
alright so, downloaded a 2.3.6 firmware, i download which odin? i do need download that ''odin tools'' from that link you linked me ? because it has a very old ver of odin but skipping that it has a PIT file that i dont really know what it is for.

Follow the whole procedure from that thread. Except the part of 16GB version, if you do not have one.

I am not sure if that method formats internal storage. And if you get adb shell you could do it with command or with total commander with adb plugin (for that go to my profile, to all threads I started and you will see one about it).

Oh, well it worked, thanks.
still, its all gone now but i can install each app again, there wasn't much important things that i lost.
well since its normal again but without nothing, when i decide to try update it again which way you would recommend me off? i mean, a really good one that isnt by Kies?

Odin. Like you did now, just with JB firmware for your I9070 model (P or non P, if you miss that you will hard brick, for example if you flash P firmware on non P phone, and otherwise).
Just follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398
Simple as - put firmware in PDA, hit flash. And check if you have unchecked/checked as it is written there.
Probably Kies was the problem, because that nand write error. He messed up, and now this fixed it.
