Hum are you sure of this ? I think it was only for the phone rooted....

Gnote has an emmc bug which results in brick.

Actually ics has an emmc bug and you are on unsafe kernel.
Flash a safe kernel like phillz.then you can do hardreset.

Download philz kernel as per yr region.
Flash through stock recovery.
Now yr completely safe to wipe or factory reset.
Then when u factory reset u can sell yr phone.
Still if u ve question yr phone is rooted.
Follow doctor ketan s thread of all stock rom.
Download n flash it via odin. Which is safe n u will get yr phone to factory condition.(os part )
N now off the topic.
Jus take a glimpse of update coming for note before u sell yr phone.

No. Not recommended. The ICS kernel has a bug that can leave your phone a brick. It is not advised you do anything in recovery once you're on stock kernel. But I think a soft reset (from settings) will clear all your data since you wanna sell it. I'm a newbie but I hope I've helped.

even from the settings doing a factory reset may trigger a brick. I have read it sum where in entropys thread

There's not such a thing like soft reset... Either if you factory reset from recovery or from settings if you are on ics stock kernel you might end up with a brick in your hands

by soft reset he means the factory reset from settings > backup& reset > factory data reset

Yeah, but that's a hard reset, a soft reset is just powering off and on, not erasing any data.

i dont know about phones but in networking
any reset done inside OS options is called a soft reset ( settings )
any reset done outside OS is called hard reset ( cwm )
power on/off is called power cycle

Agreed, but in the old days of pda's, there was no on off capacity, there was alternatives of combo keys for soft off, power cycle, or hard reset to perform a wipe of the data.

Thats better.
And as human concern after sale.
After sale i meant.
Inform the buyer regarding emmc brickbug on stock ics kernel.
Cos most of the seconds buyers usually they try to factory reset jus to wipe off previous users data fully.
Then note can b a nightmare for him.

He is stock and not rooted. Could that be the problem? That he didn't do a factory reset? Judging by the fact that he didn't ever root the device?

You can still boot into cwm and do a factory reset without been rooted and on stock
Turn off phone hold volume up home button and power you will see

Anyone got an idea why the s pen doesn't work??? Help a brother out)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
did you try his s-pen on another note?
don't have another note to try it on... will sugest going to an orange or vodafone for that
PS: he said after a software update it stopped working... could that be the issue... and be a coincidence the pen broke when he updated the soft.
PS2: dunno if the pen has anything inside that can break:-?
yeah..first of all be sure the s-pen still working good, maybe a coincidence but everything is possible
true ... i agree... will advise him to do that
Just try flashing a different stock rom/kernal. Its probably just a software issue (yes even though it's probably official due to updating from kies). They're all located in the development section

After he does the spen test that would be the last test to do before sending it to the samsung service.

did you have the pen out of the note for long time? If yes it has been discharged. search for anatomy of spen there is a thread somewhere with photos of the inside parts.

Need help, Forgotten unlock pattern...

let say i forget my unlock pattern...
thn tried for too many time ady..
and it required me to log in,
but then i forget my psw...
what can i do now?
what rom are you on? For following steps, use a rom with your original roms csc. If you dont know, to bad, just use any rom close to country you bought phone in.
if stock ics then go follow procedure in dr ketans thread in sticky section development to flash gb, and after factory reset from recovery.
If stock gb, then just factory reset from recovery.
get into recovery by power down device, turn on and immediately button volume up, home and power at same time. navigate in recovery with volume buttons and select with power button.

Thing worth to try first before doing anything
-Click on Toolbox on my signature
and read tool No 13.
yeah try #13 first, guess Androids security can be bypassed after all.

And Remember its just byepass the security temporarely. For a permanent treatment you should follow baz77 instructions I think. Sorry if im saying something wrong dr ketan. dunn mind. Just posting this for his knowledge.
Notes:
This application will also run each time the device is booted so you can always bypass the lock screen.
This application does not remove or reset your pattern/PIN, it only temporarily disables the lock screen so you can access your device and backup your data before resetting it.
To remove Screen Lock Bypass, open the application and click Uninstall.
@Sahil
If you aware there is pro version available to disable lock permanently
Now it depends on individual whether to pay 5$ for it or just take backup of application and go for Flashing and restoring.

Question?

Hi,
I am wondering, is it safe to do a factory reset on 10h rooted? I have read somewhere in the O4X forums that by doing a factory reset (or using the CWM recovery?) it is possible to brick the phone. Please, clarify Thanks in advance

Should be saft. Reas0n bricked his phone, but they changed the mainboard. So it's not clear if it was the factory reset or the faulty mainboard. I've done factory reset a few times, didn't brick anything.
Same here I've done it a hundred times no probs here

[Q] Will a hard reset brick my phone? [SOLVED]

I have a 4.1.2 android version of GT-N7100. I'm on an official rom. My phone is NOT rooted. Will a hard reset (by entering into a recovery mode, and factory reset) can brick my phone?
Is there any steps that i have to do before doing a hard reset?
I read a lot of threads and i get confused with myself about the SG-note being brickable.
EDIT: Okay nevermind. I will just patch a safe kernel and do a hard reset.
A factory reset will delete all user installed apps, and all settings will be returned to default.
Back up your internal sd card, phone and sms logs.

Since you are on JB it might be safe, but why risk it mate?
Flash Philz kernel and then perform all the wipes.
Good luck.

Mate performing hard reset on note 2 is all safe..the deal is u need to be on 4.1.2 since all roms based on 4.1.2 base are note 2 sds patched.
So u r safe.dont worry..I too reset my phone and its normal!

Don't listen to this guy. Seriously. JB has not been proven safe By anyone. Flash Philz first.
That's like saying I did heroin and didn't die so u are OK...
Don't do heroin, and don't trust a Samsung ROM on this device to be brickbug safe. I don't care if people claim JB is brick bug safe. I am on this forum every day and read EVERY n7000 post. It is NOT proven safe.

Not all phones get bricked when a full wipe is performed.
If you got lucky, and didn't bricked yours, you can't suppose it's safe and recommend it to everyone. That is just a plain stupid thing to do.
JB does have the emmc cap erase enabled, so it is NOT safe. Just look at the sources.
