My son locked me out of my i9000 by means of "too many retries" on pattern.
Tried some "bypass methods", something went horribly wrong and upon reboot it lead the phone to bootloop. Even in charging mode. Cant access cwm recovery or download modes by means of three buttons.
Today received jig that did put my phone into download mode.
Problem is i dont know which odin version to use, which options to check, pit files etc.
Rom that went kaput was an official CM9 nightly, cant remember the version, only know it was most likely 4.0.3.
At the moment i'm interested in stable CM9 (cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd.zip)
Can someone help me recover from this ?
Here's a start: how to flash 2.3.6 with Odin
After this, put what rom you want... I recommend Helly_Bean [4.1.2]
Good luck!:good:

i flashed darky rom 1.3 on my phone, ive been having some problems id get a lot of force closes and i wouldnt be able to call out when i do it would end the call after the first dial, id get no signal, id then get a force close, then signal would come back. so i went into cwm recovery. performed a full data wipe and tried to flash any other rom - rocket rom v12 and cassie xtra lite v5. on every type of rom i try even the kl7 stock deodexed, it just stays stuck on the samsung glaxy note gt n7000 screen and stays like that. for instance its been like that for the past 40 mins now at the side of me. i dont really know what to do, ive tried multiple data wipes inc dalveks cache. would flashing via odin help ? how do i do that. wondered if i could get some help guys.
Your phone is not bricked. Just entered a boot loop.
You just need to reflash an official firmware from Samsung, then you can flash a custom one over that. Be careful that zergrush or appropriate exploit is avaliable for the version of firmware that you will flash, you don't want to increase the binary counter
To enter download mode:
"Put your Galaxy Note in download mode. To accomplish this, power off your Galaxy Note and then power it back on while holding volume down and home button together with power key".
thanks for the reply, im a little rusty to flashing stock roms with odin i dont really know what to do, i have odin opened with all the necessary things checked, ive downloaded this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412959 stock kl7 but i just get a md5 tar file, how do i get the pda etc, that is ODIN way of doing it am i correct ?
am i right in thinking i can just resent the binary counter with a jiig sometime down the line ?
darkyrom
i had same issue with same rom and i flashed overa stock rom
aaaaaaits this rom bud, my note doesnt like it, try sheep rom, ive found that the best one out of all of them.
Hi guys, I need some help..
I have had my SGS for over a year now and decided today i wanted to root it and do all the stuff that comes with that... anyways so i rooted it and then tried installing cyanogenmod but i got a bootloop which i thought fair enough ill just put the phone back into download mode and download my firmeware of i9000xxjvt again. this was no problem, however... this unrooted my phone i think becasue i didnt see superuser or cwm in my apps again. so then i tried rooting my phone again but i think i picked the wrong file in the PDA part of odin and my phone screen turned off and ODIN said fail or somethign similar. Then i tried turning my phone on and it now has this icon;
well i cant post links but if you go on tinyurl and add "/6o3dt8y" after it you'll see
im so scared iv ruined it, i dont have insurance but it is covered under my parents house contents cover.. i dont wanna have to go through that though. any suggestions? i havent tried removing the battery to turn it off btw it's still on that screen because im scared of doing further damage.. dont know how long the battery will last tho.

Hey, first of all, don't panic, there's nothing wrong that can't be fixed. You should still be able to put your phone into download mode. After that, just flash it with the correct files via Odin, that's all. I recommend downloading jvu firmware instead of jvt. After that you should be able to flash a custom kernel, my recommendation is Semaphore (look for it in the development section). Then flash cyanogenmod via recovery menu. If it starts flashing, then you get into a bootloop, just pull your battery at some point and pull your external sd card. (I had this issue too.) Then put your battery back (but not the sd card) and you will be able to install it correctly. Cheers

You have the i9000? Because I see a restore procedure for i9001 on the server your 'bsod' image is hosted: http://www.broodplank.net/flashsamsungi9001.php
The only think different is the firmware you need and the Odin version. Don't use the multidownloader, but for instance Odin3 v1.85.
I'd recommend cf-root kernel, it's "rooting for beginners" and still enough to be able to flash Cyanogenmod. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Just pull out the battery. I too had a lot of soft bricks this week and you wouldn't believe how many times I had to pull out the battery, lol.
Just try to flash some stock gingerbread rom's and see which one makes your phone work again.
If you can't get into download mode anymore. Pull out the battery, connect your phone to your pc via usb, push volume up and down simultaniously and lastly put in the battery. It should boot up into download mode.
Thanks so much guys I was really scared I ruined the phone. Pulling out the battery worked and putting it into download mode was easy after that. I flashed jvt again because I couldn't find jvu and then flashed cyanogenmod successfully, I removed my external SD this time tyo avoid the boot loop. i will try again later with semaphore kernal first but again thanks a lot people.
This WAS the situation before the problems:
Rooted Gingerbread rom, all working fine. Decided to unroot and install the full version of the official German ICS rom by using PC Odin. All went fine and used my Note for over two days. Because of the lags en slow responses I decided to reflash the ICS rom. From that moment on I messed it up. I've been reading and searching hundreds of posts for almost a day but didn't find a solution.
This IS the current situation:
I can get into download mode
I can get in recovery mode
However, in recovery mode I can not install a rom, every flash (CWM, both ICS and GB - even using chainfire's rom needed for rooting) stops on a random moment...but never gets it to the end, even if I wait several hours. Installing is very...very....very slow.
In recovery mode i can not restore a Nandroid backup, both ICS and GB. Every backup stops when /system has te be installed. errormessage.
In download mode I can connect my Note to PC Odin. I can select a rom and start flashing. However, after appr. 80% installation halts during "nand write start", no error message. The flashing does not finish, even after hours.
Funny is, i can install a kernel like Abyss.
So, I can't restore, i can't flash using cwm in recovery and I can't flash using PC Odin. My device seems not fully bricked. The max I get when rebooting (knowing that the process has not finished) is the triangle screen.
Any advise is appreciated.
Do not flash thru CWM... Flash a good GB kernel like "franco.Kernel" but thru PC Odin then u can flash whatever u want from franco's CWM... Good luck
Don't need help anymore
Note is officially bricked. After several attempts to recover from a softbrick the screen of my Note didn't turn on anymore. No button or button combination works, no recovery and no download mode, just a black screen.

Flat battery? It's also possible that it's just the screen that's not working. Try entering download mode "blind". So hold power+home+vol down for ~10 seconds, then press vol up. Hook it up via usb and see if Odin can recognize it.
Thanks, didn't think of that. But unfortunately no response from the device.
So now that it looks like your phone is officially bricked, I think you should just take it to Samsung and make up a story. Like you were updating your software with Kies and something happened and the phone is just not booting up.
I am sorry you bricked your note though..
try AMORA Filemanager.. flash via recovery and you have a file manager,,, take a look on your partitions
just my idea, you got nothing to lose

I would like to but it's very hard when you can't see anything on the screen...
Maybe it's just the battery, try to charge it externally and try a JIG also

Just a quick, final, update.
My Note was superbricked. Had to send it to a Samsung Service Center. No additional questions were asked. Samsung replaced the mainboard. Didn't have to pay anything.
Great service!!!
try this out buddy, do it on your own risk!!! anyways you have messed it up.

i was not a member when i commited this mistake. but then big thanks to this community it helped me back from softbrick.
first you do is install a stock kernel of ics on your note go into recovery and just clear cache partition, thats it no wipe/data factory reset.
then,
install the pit file from this thread, also read it completely before proceeding. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1667886 , hoping yours is 16gb version and also read this thread for additional info but its quite complicated for me so im just telling you the direct method and hopefully itll get your note back to work. so once you download the 16gb pit file unzip it and in the unzip folder you will find a separately lying pit of 16gb stating patched-standard thats the one you want.
then,
goto samfirmware and download the latest ics firmware(i downloaded the indian one as it is in file .tar),
unzip it till you get .tar file.
open odin- click pit-select 16gb patched standard pit- check wether repartion is ticked- click pda-select the .tar file you extracted connect your phone and start. this time i wont stop at factory.fs.....
NOTE THAT AFTER THIS PROCEDURE IS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE WOULD BE ONLY 8GB INSTEAD OF 11 GB STOCK WHICH YOU WERE GETTING.
I REVIVED MY NOTE THROUGH THIS PROCEDURE. PROCEES AT YOUR OWN RISK.
one your phone is working you'll be able to reset the counter with a jig and get your phone under warranty and get your motherboard changed by teliing at the Samsung Service that you are getting only 8gb instead of 11gb you used to get earlier(warranty only if you had any).
hope this helps mate.
BEST OF LUCK!!
A BIG HUGE THANKS TO hg42.....
So basically I have a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate (i896) and it was running 2.1, so I decided to try and upgrade to the newest stock available for the captivate (which is 2.3.5). I had to use heimdall because I bought the phone used and it was rooted and possibly running a custom ROM so kies is not an option. When I put the phone in download mode the computer wouldn't recognize it (I'm on a Mac). I did alot of reading online and I couldn't find a solution. So I decided to flash a new ROM hoping that this would solve the problem.
So I flashed a random ICS ROM. But with this ROM I couldn't even access download mode. I tried a 3 button fix, I tried to use terminal to boot into download mode, and I tried to use ADB from my computer; nothing worked. So I figured I would flash another ROM (this time I used Hellybean) but when I tried to install it, a bunch of code ran on the screen and it said "installation aborted". Before attempting to flash this ROM I completely wiped the phone (i formatted the system from the mounts menu in CWM) and now the phone is showing the at&t logo, then going to black, then some code runs on the screen, then it goes black and starts the whole thing again.
I cant get to recovery or download mode.
Is it bricked? How do I fix this?
I don't know what I did wrong! any help would be appreciated.
P.s. I would really like to avoid building a jig because I feel like Im not too good at that kind of stuff....but if that's what it comes to...
Thanx in advance

I've tried all of those methods except for using a jig. Is it possible that while flashing a ROM my phone somehow lost download mode?
Also if all of those combos didn't work is it likely that a jig will work?
Looks like you started reading after you messed up the phone. Update instructions say clearly that you need GB bootloaders before you proceed to ICS or JB. You provide no information what exactly ROM you started from, what GB ROM you attempted to flash (with or without bootloaders), what exactly ICS you flashed after, what "some code" runs on the screen now, etc. It's a lot of guessing here. If bootloaders are messed up, than you won't be able to fix your phone at home. I have never seen a problem you describe, so wait for someone with more experience to stop by.
I got it going! All it needed was a jig and then I was able to flash stock GB with bootloaders.
Thanks for the help.
Good news! :good:
I have a Cappy and gingerbread boot loaders come in three flavours i897, i896 and i9000 and they're backwards compatible with froyo and éclair roms. Don't mix froyo and gb boot loaders though you will hard brick your device. I have i896(Canadian) boot loaders and when I flash kk4 [email protected] Odin gingerbread my "i896" boot screen is garbled image of pixels until I flash the proper param.lfs file to match. Hope this helps. BTW I have a jig as well and for all galaxy devices it's a must.

Hi everyone. I have a rooted Galaxy Note 1. I accidentally tried to update something (the phone said there was an Android update or something) and now my phone in stuck in a bootloop showing the Android logo. When I try to reset it (volume+home+power buttons) it goes to an Odin "Downloading..." screen and gets stuck on that.
I've seen some stuff about unbricking the phone using Odin to return to the original stock rom. But from what I can tell, there are different stock roms available depending on your Country Sales Code (CSC). So apparently I need to look in Kies for my CSC to know which rom to download, but Kies doesn't recognise the phone, I guess because it's bricked. I know the phone is from the UK, but I don't know what network it came from (I bought it second hand). All I know is that it is unlocked now.
I have CWM.zip, CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip, and franco.Kernel-r5.zip on the micro SD card from when I was rooting it ages ago. Do these have anything to do with fixing it?
Any ideas on where I go from here? Thanks for your help.
Which volume button did you press ? You need volume up + home + power to get into recovery.
You can flash any rom from any region using odin.
Same problem
Hey,
Thanks for helping me in advance...
I used the Custom ROM (( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626 )) Ultimate N7000 for a long time. However this build became more and more unstable the longer I used my phone.
So I decided to go back to STOCK.
So I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
And everything went well (Odin didnt give any errors)
However after reboot... the problem began... I cant turn my phone on anymore.... It seems to be stuck in a bootloop....
How can I fix this?? please help me
Which rom did you flash? If you flashed JB, boot into recovery and wipe data. Then reboot.
