how to repair bad sector on internal storage

hi there...just superbricked my n7000 n got recover by using manual re-partition...after manually repartition i notice that about 3gb space on internal storage cannot be use that we called bad sector...now i just have about 9gb internal storage...is there other guide or technic to gain the 3gb bad sector back...
sory for my english...

Don't know if it would work or not, bad sects ore are usually marked as such due to being physically unusable, but you could run e2fsck (Google it) via terminal emulator. Or run DD (again, Google) with dev/null being the source file, that would wipe out any corrupted data, may have to be run more than once, two seems to be the magic number when used to do a routine wipe on my phone.

By repartition you will get your note working again, but *will* loose about 3gb of your internal memory. No solution to it.
Even if you do manage to unmark the bad sectors, it will just get your phone to the position it was in before you repatitioned. I think it will be as good as bricked again.
Better option, if your binary count is zero, you are on stock kernel and your note is under warranty, get it replaced under warranty.

Use "triangle away" download from google play. It will reset binary count to zero and remove yellow triangle.
After that brick it again and send to ssc for claim new mobo.

Hi All,
Recently I've also super-bricked my phone. I've tried reparation by pit but I loose precious 3GB from Internal memory.
then again I've bricked my phone and gave to SSC. Hope I get e-mmc replaced.
BTW
I'm from INDIA. I told SSC that I was just upgrading my phone and they said it is "dangerous" to upgrade phone at home .
Edit: Got my phone from SSC with new board.

corrupt BOOT LOADER

hi guys .. i seem to have messed my phone up when doing the 4.0.4 update
were can i find the files used with Odin to go about fixing my issue?
files for the boot-loader...
as my CWM is corrupt
& the phone will not boot up get as far as the NOTE splash before starting the phone

So your bootloader is ok....
Just get a stock rom and flash with odin.

This point to the case of superbrick mate. It has caused damage to your system and maybe also data partition. If you have warranty try to seek help from service center where they will replace mobo. Otherwise only repartition can help revive your phone. Follow the link from dr.ketan tool box in his signature to the guide for revive superbrick note cause by emmc bug. Hope you can make it. Cheers.

If you can't get into recovery or download mode you might be in a bit of a pickle. Recently did that to my GS3 and I had to send it back to Samsung. I would find and try a USB Jig first, that might get you into download mode so you can use Odin to flash stock firmware back onto the phone. Just do a google search for Samsung USB Jig.

Thank you for your advise:thumbup:lol
That is only way to unbricking the phone?

Well that is the way you can do it, if the USB Jig gets you into download mode. If it doesn't, then you can have it JTaged. There are companies out there that offer JTag Service for some fee. Can't remember now but like 60-70 bucks maybe. Again, I'm sure it's just a google search away. Other than those two options I don't know if anything else, besides sending it back for warranty replacement.

Make a JIG, its' super easy. I made one to fix a friends Galaxy S2.

Torch screen no respond after upgraded to I9305XXBMB2

So I used pc odin flashed I9305XXBMB2 with success. but my torch screen was no responding upon reboot. Even I tried factory reset still with the same reslult. I can't send it to the Samsung Service center due to flash counter = 1. Downgraded to ma6 also with same results.
I can goto download and recovery mode. Please advice!

Try Emergency Firmware restore on Kies. If that is not successful then I guess you could flash CWM (non touch edition) and then try find a way to reset your flash counter in recovery or download mode then warranty it. If not then you will have to pay up, $210 here in Aus to get screen/digitalizer/frame repaired (built together) at a Samsung place & that also renews your warrenty

To reset the binary in download mode you need a USB jig (search to buy one online) or here is a guide for a DIY one:

I don't think there is any Non-Touch version of TA.... unlucky
Edited:
since your phone is running stock ROM&kernel you can try USB jig, that's the Only thing left to try to get back your warranty. In my case jig won't reset counter but I'm using Custom ROM .... Can't remember how was it on stock. TA works for sure but must be installed first, you can't use your screen so jig is your last chance. ..

Try this rom, you need to do it from a PC, set in download mode then use Odin to flash the rom.
This will then put it back to stock with no increase in the binary count.

Guys do you really think Samsung cares? I mean I had an Asus Transformer Prime with an unlocked boot loader. When unlocking it clearly stated the warranty is voided. A few months later my battery died and I sent it in as it was and they fixed it. I even told them it was unlocked and they fixed it.
I then heard and read somewhere that the warranty is lost to software related issues not hardware.
But oh well he reset it already. I only reset to get stock stock updates because I get bored sometimes!!
