Soft bricked N7000. How to?

Tried everything I could with Odin and phone still stuck in a start loop.
I was downgrading from checkROM to official firmware ZSLA2 with CWM (I wanted to keep ROOT, so I selected "Keep CF-Root kernel") due to stability issues, after restarting the phone got into the start loop.
I flashed with Odin official ZSLA2 with the same result (looped start). I flashed XXKKA (again looped start). During the flashing process, Odin says the flashing was successful. By the way, both ROMS are tar.md5 files.
I tried to remove the battery for over 30 minutes and charge it for 2 hours, tried re-partition in Odin (it's my understanding that with a stock rom, it creates a clean installation), but Odin fails to start the process.
What else can I do?
I am sorry if this has previously asked, but I've been searching for over 2 hours and nothing similar came. Somebody mentioned to use a PIT file in addition, but the other person who got his phone soft bricked didn't solve the problem either. As downloading a ROM is time consuming and I've got many problems with upload sites in china (cannot access to most of them), I would thank any help in regards this issue.

Sounds like your kernel isn't talking properly to your ROM.
A fresh start is your best bet. Flash a stock rom and kernel from Odin and reroot it with CF-Root.
What files are you putting into Odin? There should be a total of 4.
I'd also avoid the use of a .pit file. I haven't even seen the mention of one in all my time on the Note forum. I really don't think Samsung uses them the way they used to. (I used to have to flash one all the time when testing roms on the original galaxy tab.)

I am using official ROM N7000ZSLA2_N7000ZSLA2_N7000XLA4_HOME.tar.md5 into PDA and also tried ROM N7000XXKKA_N7000XEUKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5, which I used successfully in the past to make root into my phone.
Does it really make a difference to flash 4 separate files instead of a full pack? Where can I find an official ROM with pda radio and kernel separated? Just untar the ROM?

Oh, they do come into the Note; I flashed the Beta ICS, and one of the things they mention is to use the PIT file for the 16GB version, instead of the 32GB that comes with the leaked ROM. Unfortunately I deleted that ROM, and donwloading it is painfully slow and also wouldn't necessarily solve my problem as I couldn't even make a phone call.

True - the .pit file can change the size of the partition data... But that's not your problem. If the .pit file was the problem - you'd boot, but have 0 storage space (or something else wonky pertaining to your disk size.)
Open the tar up and make sure it has all the files in it. Should be 5.
I've attached a screenshot of the 5 file names. Make sure they are all in the .tar you are flashing.

Even i had similar problem after flashing Stock ROM using Odin (PC). Only thing i did is just rebooted in recovery and Wipe/factory Reset and Wipe cache. everything went fine.

Well, I finally managed to get my phone back. I was getting a lot of corrupted ROMS. I couldn't download your ROM as well; I managed to install the Beta ICS 4.0.3 which comes with a PIT for repartition, as I think the problem was that my booting partition was screwed.
Problem now is: that rom screws the phone and the keyboard, but at least I have my phone back.
Thank you

I have just recently dowloaded and installed the rom without problem. What do you mean by corrupted rom?

I too bricked my phone but after reading this guide (ABD wouldn't recognise my device so I couldn't follow it) I understood the partitions had become messed up.
I read somewhere about the PIT files.
I ODINed the ABYSS Kernal and PIT (Q1_20110914_16GB-patched) for my 16gb n7000 ticked the repartition box. It booted into CWM recovery and I used the restore and bingo.

Fix The problem
I had the same problem, the device got into start loop. JUST DO A FULL WIPE..! and the device should start normally. I worked for me.... :good:

Any fix for emmc bug yet?

Hello, 2 make a long story short, I wipe data in cwm5 while on "CF-LPY KERNEL" on ICS(OFFICIAL RELEASE) . And now I can't flash stock rom from both ics & gingerbread. Keep getting stuck @ FACTORYFS.IMG in odin. And I can't access cwm5 anymore and whenever I turn my phone back on it reads " FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AND ISSUE, PLEASE GO TO RECOVERY IN KIES & AND TRY AGAIN". And kies is not recognizing my device any insight on this particular issue will help and be greatly appreciated, and one more thing, will a jtag service be beneficial in my situation or I have no choice but to get a new motherboard for my device? And where exactly can I purchase one being that I'm in the united states with no warranty

You can try to flash with pc odin 1.85 a GB rom with .pit file

Whats the function of this pit file?

Did you have a warranty? And where did u go?

If any of you with this brick can still flash kernels, try to flash the LPF CF-Root Kernel with CWM included. Then boot into CWM and within the "mounts and storage" menu, try to run the options "mount /system" and "mount /data". If i for myself try these two mounts, CWM tells me that it cannot find these two folders ("/system" and "/data").
btw: you can go back to original kernel by using the official method explained here
So in this case as some people here mentioned repartitioning within eMMC would manage getting around the bad areas/sectors within the chip by rearranging the partitions using ADB / ADB SHELL, i for myself cannot use ADB SHELL. What i definitely can do is connecting my Galaxy Note to the PC and also get a connection. But as soon as i try ADB SHELL, also ADB tells me something like "/system/bin/sh" not found.

Herk718, the problems you mention in your post are the exact same problems I had...and a lot more "members". I think I've tried every possible "solution" up until today, but without any luck. When it's up to me you can forget those posts advising you to flash this or flash that, it just won't work. Every PC Odin flash will stop at factoryfs.img (pit files won't work either)
As you actually said, we have to wait for a fix specific for this problem or bring you note to a SSC.

Of course I have warranty ... but before go to SSC , I flash ICSKernelTest.tar with pc odin to make my binary counter to zero. I'm from Indon****.

Your phone isnt rooted, so you getting this error, try flashing a pre-rooted kernel, i am not sure if it will root a bricked phone or not... no harm in trying : )
Edit: did you flash the kernel provided in forest's guide here post 12?
Flash that kernel, get into recovery mode, connect via adb, repartition, flash gb rom, flash angelom kernel to reset binary count, flash your rom's stock kernel again and claim warranty.
Herk try forest's guide, its got link to hg42's thread about the custom pit method.

simple way, get the firmware u want (preferably the oldset GB version) and download the pit files from this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
then load the pit file with different regains ( 1024000 and 2560000kb worked with my note) and be sure u load 16 or 32gb accordingly.
same time load the firmware in pda , select re-partition option in odin and procceed.... start
good luck....
sometimes even u are sucessfull, the note will be stuck at a boot loop, wat i did was a factory reset at cwm recovery , do it at ur risk......(so its better to use GB firmware)

Bricked Galaxy TAB 8.9 (GT-7300) - $20 reward for working solution

Hi,
So, I got a Samsung Galaxy TAB 8.9 (GT-7300) WiFi+3G. Nordic/European version. I have a long history of rooting and running custom ROM's on my Android devices, but this time i f##ed up a bit.
1. Installed root_original.zip from this thread by copying it on to the tablet and applying it from stock recovery.
2. Booted and installed Superuser and ROM Manager from Market.
3. Used ROM Manager to install CWM for Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Yes, I know...).
4. Tab would not boot, but I could still get in to download mode. Browsed some XDA threads and came across this guy who seemed to have the same problem. I did not see that he had a P7310 (WiFi only) tablet. So, I used Odin 1.85 to install the bootloader, which was for the P7310, not for P-7300. Now, the tablet boots but the display is just flickering, like it is using a wrong refresh rate or wrong resolution. Not at all possible to read anything, but I can still get into Download mode.
5. Installed stock rom from here, specifically this one: P7300XWLA2------2012 January----P7300NEELA1-----Nordic countries----
Still no luck. The tablet boots into Android but the display is still flickering.
$20 for anyone who gets me out of this mess

Can you come in recovery ?
Than try this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519564
There is an option in CWM under the mount and storage tab where stands mount usb connection click on that and move this to your tab after that install it
I hope it will work!

You could also try the Swedish firmware: http://hotfile.com/dl/146666862/13403b2/P7300XWKL4_P7300NSEKL1_NSE.zip.html
The NSE are usually pretty much the same as NEE with some swedish bloatware. Worth a try I guess.
Also see this guide for how to use Odin in case you did something wrong: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137
One thing that I've noticed when flashing with Odin is that even if I check the F.reset checkbox it still does not do a factory reset (at least it did not do it for me). You should be able to do a factory reset using the stock recovery.
Oh and btw, my advice is for free.

Hi safariking,
I can get in to recovery, but I'm unable to read anything, as the display is just flickering. I would need a press-by-press guide in order to perform the steps correctly... :/

Thanks kallt_kaffe, I'll try the swedish firmware and follow the guide step-by-step

If you turn it off and charge it, is the charging-mode-display also distorted?
Also if I were you I would leave it on in download or recovery mode and let the battery drain completely. Worth a shot I guess.

If I turn it off it automatically turns back on and boots Android. So I can't see if the "charging while turned off" icon is also distorted.

When I flash a complete ROM with Odin (e.g. the Swedish ROM you suggested) - is there anything left to flash that could be causing this? If I were to return the tablet to the dealer, will there be any evidence of dumb-user-flashing?

I honestly do not know.

Have you tried flashing the PIT file (in the PIT section) along with the ODIN image (in the PDA section)? You can download the PIT file so you can click on Repartition, right here. It's a very small file. Be sure you have F.Reset Time checkmarked too. Best of lucks.

If you flash a bootloader for P7310 so when you trying to flash P7300 ROM with odin, the bootloader will mapping all file just like P7310 with their partition Layout.. I think the pit file is not the solution..
First you need turn back the bootloader to original form.. I dont know where I can find P7300 bootloader..
After you finish with the bootloader, try to install P7300 Stock rom, with pit file and repartition..
I dont know if this post will help you.. but it worth to try..
EDIT:
maybe you can use firmware from P7300ZSKH5 from this link
This file include with bootloader and pit file..

As long as you have the right drivers installed, no. That's my setup.

I had a similar issue. It occured only when I turned display off and on, both in android and in battery charging mode while powered off. I just went back to the store and got it replaced. xD
Anyway the flickering began to show up after flashing 3.2 back from a 4.0 rom... So I think there was something wrong with the bootloader.. Didnt find any tar file containing the original bootloader.. Perhaps someone here can make it for you

hey,
i got same problem after i tried to install cm9. now i cant install nothing (i formated cash, data, system and preload) no data factory reset working. i have nonstop bootloops and format cache and dalvik not working but cwm ist starting but not working really. but can start download mode too ... so i think its not a super-brick for my gt 7300 from switzerland.
so, i will try to download from samMobile the original firmware and to flash with odin. anybody knows a tutorial with odin for gt 7300? cant find nothing for pit, csc, tar ...
please help me

I have to say, I was about to send the tablet to samsung, it was dead, no rom, no boot, no partition, no USB connection to store, what save me was the Odin up load that you recommended me, the tablet was really crashed.
I Think that is a sollution for actually almost any problem on the tablet (a complete format, sure, but still a good solution for ROM problems).
anyway, Many Thanks!!!!!!

[SOLVED] G7000 Stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000"

Hello!
First of all I've searched all the posts about this problem.. and personally I can't fix it.
So here is what I've done to brick my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (I think that's called a non-usable device).
Installed few ROMs and finally after taking some decisions I've returned back on ICS 4.0.3 (Flashed with ODIN 1.85).
Restored EFS with kTool (because ClearNotev5 did something wrong with my phone.. and discovered after few hours that I can restore EFS).
Updated ICS 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 using WIFI (OTA I think it's called) and BANG after restart phone stucked at Bootscreen.
So from yesterday untill now I've restored my phone to factory settings few times(GB 2.3.5 & 2.3.6/ICS 4.0.4),repartitioned with .pit files for N7000 16GB,installed different custom/stock ROMs and nothing.
I've discovered few minutes ago while triyng to make a factory restore (GB 2.3.5) that my phone stucked at data.img... I've read about this and it is said that I must change my N7000 motherboard.. I have no warranty so please help.. and sorry for my bad english

Read many times about ota harbrick, i think its not advisable to use ota for upgrade. Sorry for your loss.
Flash gb in pc odin, if sucessfull and still stuck in logo go to CWMR and perform 3 wipes. This is all advise i can give you.
And try different gb rom.

I think you had already tried the recovery method from a bricked device. So if you still facing problems you have to change the MB.

I've experienced before, and revive it using this method. So far mine still work well, and no further error ever since.
You will loose certain GB on your internal storage. Which for me it's not a big deal. I'm kinda lazy to go to samsung repair center, unless my phone is totally dead.
Here is my step (follow at your own risk) :
1. You have to know first your N7000 is the 16GB or 32GB, and then you download the correct pit for your phone.
2. After you download, extract the zip file.
3. Since mine is the 16GB, I've picked this pit file to use (inside the zip) : Q1_20110914_16GB-patched-regain-0102400-kB.pit (the pit file will be vary depending on which sector your phone brick)
4. Put your phone on to download mode.
5. Open ODIN PC and connect your phone, and wait till ODIN say "Added" and you see that your phone has connected.
6. Put the patch pit file I choose, then put the samsung stock rom as the PDA (if you downloaded 1 file only for the stock ROM, if not, put properly for the PDA, Phone, and CSC).
7. Check ON the "repartition", "Auto-reboot", "F-reset time"
8. Click Start, and wait till the process has finished. Your phone should auto reboot by then.
9. My phone has recovered, and I lost 1GB internal storage.
One last thing, try not to do wipe on ICS, unless you are on a safe kernel like speedmod / GLNotecore.
For Hydracore (You may check with the developer), I haven't tested it yet for wiping. But for those speedmod and GLNotecore, is confirm safe kernel. I've tried these 2 for wiping.
PS : if you are not sure with my step on reviving with the pit file, I suggest you to read the link above from the OP for the pit revive method.
Good Luck !

No problem. Just pick any gb rom, one problem at a time, your problem now is how your phone can boot up.
If you want go to www.sammobile.com and pick your specific rom.

I've downloaded the COSMOTE GB ROM and I will flash it with PC ODIN.
After that I need as I was saying few posts ago how to identify which part of my internal storage is bricked..but a simplified method/guide please.. and sorry for my requests but believe me I'm kinda desperate..

The OP stated very clear on how to get the part of your bricked storage.

After emmc_find_brick_start.zip I get stucked on:
scanning 1167 Mib = 1224 MB ... (picture below)
And now I am waiting emmc_find_brick_end.zip to get stuck
LE: emmc_find_brick_end.zip stuck at:
scanning 3356 MiB = 3520 MB ... (picture below)

Shouldn't be a problem. However, best to root current, then efs backup multiple locations. See dr ketans toolbox thread on how.
Your phones csc is also Romania? Best to stick with your phones csc and those country roms if you want to continue ota/kies updatability in the future Dial *#06# for emei and then *#272*yourimeihere# to find out 3 letter csc.

[Q] Galaxy note N7000 32G bricked ?

Hello,
I Purchased on Ebay a 32G Galaxy note N7000
It received it with Android 4.03, but I don't know the history of this device...
I carefully read all the posts about bricked phones.
So I decided to flash my phone using an original GB stock rom which is supposed to be safe.
I directly flashed it without wiping anything before... I didn't even enter in recovery mode
But the flash operation blocks in odin at factoryfs.img... and now, the phone can only enter download mode (not recovery).
Edit 1 : I just tried exactly the same operations with another PC.. and it works !
I presume now that my phone is not bricked...
Edit 2 : the flashing operation in "edit1" succeded, but when I reboot the phone, I have error messages so I can't initialise the phone...
Edit 3 : I tried to flash again with another GB rom, and I'm again blocked in odin at factoryfs.img. Idem with the Rom which worked one time..
I noticed a stange thing before flashing : the phone had only 24G memory when I received it : is it the clue that it has been repartitionned before I bought it, avoiding detroyed parts of its memory ?
Could someone help me to know what to do now..
Is my phone bricked or am I doing something wrong while flashing?
Are there special roms to use with 32G versions ?
One more thing : I uninstalled kies and I stopped my avast but I've the same problem.
Thank you.

Reboot the note and flash Gb again. If successful, boot into recovery mode and wipe data.

I rebooted and tried to flash with a GB rom several times unsuccessfully.
Each time, I'm blocked at factoryfs.img in ODIN....

That's the strong indicator for a bricked device!
And with your information that from 32 only 24 GB were available it seems to be clear that the previous owner used the repartition workaround (see hg42's thread) to revive it.
And after that selling it on ebay!
You should get in contact with the seller and try to get your money back. If he didn't hint in his selling information then you should think about the normal ebay "fraud help desks" (I never used them, so I do not know how this works).

Thank you for your first answer, but something is always strange in my situation : the flashing operation worked once : odin succeded up to the end of the flash operation. I only got problems after reboot. It shouldn't happen if parts of my memory are broken... or there is something I don't understand...
After that, if I decide to try to revive my note, are there special things to do for a 32G version (special rom, special pit file) ?

Flash the abyss kernel u can get from rootgalaxynote.com when in download mode, them youll habe cwm recovery and flash amy zipped rom from there. Goodluck
