[Q] problem after doing wipe cache partition on cwm - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so my phone is rooted and i was going through the steps before applying they cyanogen mod 10 nighly.
In cwm i had:
- Created a back up

Do you mean you cant power the device ON ?
What happens when you connect usb cable ? Does anything light up, Does your computer 'beep' to notify you of a connected device ?
Have you took battery out and reinserted ? or just left it to charge for around 10 mins before trying to power on ?
Also, What ROM + Kernel were you on before you did the wipes in recovery ?

Ahh yes, in my panic i miss typed.
O cant power on i have tried taking the battery out etc. but with no luck.
I just plugged it into my laptop pc and not a thing
I was on stock ICS (uk) and i don't think i changed the kernel either
I had just rooted and did the super user thing
I also probably didnt fully install CMW as i ran the CWM.zip from external sd from recovery each time.

If you are on stock kernal that implies you are prone to emmc bug, you shouldnt do wipes on stock kernal

You can Revive your phone with a pit file like me. I bricked mine with the same way as you. Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12

Thanks but I don't know if that will work as i can't get the phone to power on (as far as i can tell) and it doesn't seem to do anything when i plug it into the laptop.
No ping no beep.
It had about 60% power left when i did it so it has juice.
I am thinking might have to take it to carphonewhorehouse and tell them i was just doing a factory reset cos it had slowed down with all the apps and it reset while doing it and now won't turn on?

in this ERA of auto-root kernels, people still using CWM.zip...
probably should have just read some stickies. but too late...
if there is no response from the device, the pits are not going to work. only way is to get a replacement motherboard under warranty,
and as the device is non responsive.. they will not be able to detect anything about root.
Good Luck

Yeah i did some reading, but clearly not in the right place
back to the shop it goes. If you have a guide that you could point me to to get this doen the correct way then that would be much appreciated (if and whn i get a working replacement)
Thanks

when you get the phone check what rom its on. just update to the latest ICS rom..(donot wipe).
download philz kernel for the rom you have updated to.
put it in the sd card
boot into recovery
and apply update from ext storage.> point to the kernel > install
thats it. your phone gets rooted, safe kernel and CWM inbuilt.
now you can follow the procedure in the CM10 rom to install. (The Safe Way)

Thanks!
I have just got back from CPW where the nice lady said that it looks like a hardware fault given what i had described so she is sending it off to be either mobo replaced o plain replaced.
I have emailed myself your guide and will look into it if and when i get it back.
Thanks !

Bricked Note :(

I was on Stunner ICS Rom and then decided to try out CM9 so i did the following
1.backed up everything using CWM Backup
2.Copied the main cwm rom and google apps zips onto internal zip card
3.Booted into recovery using CWN menu option.
4.Navigated to install zip from internal sd card and selected the zip
5.Then nothing. no progress bar,no movement etc.
6.Waited for about 10mins, still nothing.
7.Powered off the phone and removed battery.
8.PHONE WONT POWER ON AT ALL.
Anyone had a similar issue and is it resolvable?
Thanks.
I think not!, Sorry, mate - it looks like you've bricked your phone.
Haven't you read this in CyanogenMod 9 Discussion Thread:
- I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO FLASH FROM A CF-ROOTED STOCK GINGERBREAD ROM, JUST TO AVOID YOU HARD BRICKS.
and
- DON'T flash FROM i9220 LEAKED REPACK!

Well is wrong way because you miss return to gingerbread before flash cm9 first.

No harm in trying, but I think it's too late for that now.
Motherboard replacement is in order, I fear....
Can you get into download mode? I had a similar problem and fixed it by getting into download mode, connecting to pc, then run Odin and load CF-Root-SGN_XX_SER_LA6-v5.0-CWM5.tar, this reloaded my CWM recovery and then wipe cache etc and install anything. But by using Odin you will be stuck with that yellow triangle
As you said it would not turn on try the following.
Remove the batteyr for about 1hr or so when plug it back in and try to go directly yo downalod mode.
If you can flash a GB Rom and you "should" be OK. If you still can't start it you most likely need to send it in to replace the motherboard.
if its still on warranty, tell them this happened because of kies update fail.
sometimes, its inevitable to lie...

try a usb jig... if it is able to force ur mobile into download mode use pc odin to flash a gb rom... otherwise the only alternative is motherboard replacement

No i didnt read that! i got instructions from theandroidsoul.com page called cm9-galaxy-note Which doesnt talk about coming from a Gingerbread rom etc. I should have come straight to XDA and i'm paying the price!
Hope the samsung repair shop can restore it. One representative said they have quite a number of such cases but somehow they get the phone to work again. So i'm hoping mine will work out.

Really Bricked note
Just got news from Samsung local repair office that its beyond repair. Hard to believe that the software is so deeply intwined with the hardware that a software process can kill the phone.
Will try get the usb jig and see if it will work.
Thanks to everyone who had a suggestion or comment.
I swear I did the same a few weeks ago and flashed a N7000 STOCK Rom PC Odin and I was ok.
Really Bricked note - had to get new motherboard

Bricked Note

I have been searching for a solution, but haven't found any..
I flashed to kingdroid rom a while ago from stock GB with abyss kernel. Everything went fine, and later wanted to try a new rom.
So I wiped the data and factory reset in CWM and tried to restore the old stock GB. I don't know if anything went wrong in that process, but now I can't even turn on the phone? I can't boot up CWM either?

Can you enter download mode??If so flash any GB rom.If the flash is getting stuck at factoryfs or somewhere for long than 15 mins..you have superbricked your phone by doing a wipe.Only way is to replace the mobo or trying this
yeah go on download mode. Use odin pc. It will raise the counter, but its much better than a brick note.. Hehe
Download mode is volume down, home key and turn on key right?
Doesnt work.. how long is I supposed to hold it in?
And what is a MOBO?
Easy ... Don't Panic

The First Thing you did was right, since you did the wipe using the AbyssKernel kernel, witch was safe and away from the HardBrick Thing around the Stock ICS Kernel.
But what you did wrong, is that you did wipe and restore using the Kernel inside the rom you used, wich of course was in cause !!!! so Here is what you will do, just Follow the Steps in My following Post, and you are done

Sorry for not being that bright in all this.. But how can I do all the instructions when I can't turn the phone on? I can't find the sdcards on my computer either when i connect the phone to the computer
Sounds like you have a big paperweight. You need to somehow get it to a Samsung repair center to get the motherboard replaced. There's a thread in the General section that MIGHT help revive it, but no guarantees.
Always make sure you read, read, read before you flash anything. Like other people said, the restore is what bricked it.

He said he wiped after beeing on the other rom. So he wiped with an unsafe kernel.
=> Superbrick.
So there is no way I can revive my phone?

If you're pushing the power button, you are turning it on. If you are holding down volume up/down + power + home button you are trying to put it in download/recovery.

Check battery. make sure it still has power. Pull out and leave out 5 minutes and replace it back as well.
Then turn it on and try to enter download mode (Home volume-down and power) and connect it to PC odin (even in case the screen does not turn on) and see the yellow box is there. If there is, you can flash kernel that has CWM as well, and there is hope to revive it.
If you cannot get odin to see it, then SS service is the only way.

Well Of course, If your phone is not ON, it won't show any usb storage on the PC.
Don't Give up Yet !!!
Are you sure your phone has enough battery charge,
Not Sure? well Do this :
- Keep your phone under AC Battery Charger (no USB charging) for at least 45 min.
- Take Off the Battery for at least 10s seconde,
put it back, Then try to to enter to download mode directly : Vol down + Power + Home Button at the same time untill you see the Yellow Dowload Logo, Don't Try to turn your phone on by Pressing the power Button as Normally, It Simply won't turn on !!
Keep taking the Battery Off and Back untill it works, believe me this happened before.
How much would it cost to get it fixed?
How much would a new motherboard cost?

Iám new as a member here but not new on reading here on this forum.
Want to post fast how i brickt my phone with ics and kernel problems and wipe going wrong.
Cwm still working but nothing is going anymore.
In cwm flash a franco kernel (i used Franco kernel 10 because had it on my sd card) then reboot into recovery and flash the Abys kernel.
Reboot into recovery and install your rom or restore an backup you made.
I hope sthis works for all.

Woke up this morning, my Note was dead...

Hi there,
I had no problem with my Note until this morning when I woke up.
My Note was turned off, I tried to turn it on, impossible.
I plugged the usb wire and I saw the battery logo and it was fully drained.
It's weird because I usually hold 2 days with my phone and yesterday, before sleeping, the battery was almost full.
More than that, I use Green Power, so all the connectivity services shut down during the night, there's almost no battery consumption.
So, I tried to turn it on, many times, impossible... it's stuck at the blinking Samsung logo.
I use the LQ2 rom with the Franco's kernel R5.
I've also tried to wipe cache & Dalvik's cache in recovery, but that doesn't change anything.
I'm beginning to be a bit worried because I've red some post on the forum saying that the Note's CPU can burn...
Please help ! Thanks !
are you overclocked? but even if you are, if the device goes into deepsleep, it can't burn...
i wonder what really happened..
How long have you had Franco 5 running on it?
I got stuck at flashing logo when I tried to upgrade from Rocket ROM 3 to 4.1. Ended up having to do factory reset. Now on RR4.1 with CF kernel. Hoping it stays stable.
So if all else fails do the factory reset as per ROM instructions and hope that gets you through.
I don't overclock the device, I try to run it as simple as possible, as long as I have Gmail, I'm happy.
I don't know what happened... I was running Franco's R5 since the day he released it, without any single problem !
I'm now on a Windows, I'll try to run Odin and flash it.
Yes, no idea what appened.
But the best is to flash a wipe stock Rom from Odin PC.
How to check if my cpu is not burned ?
I flashed a new rom with Odin, the phone doesn't boot anymore...
The file I flashed: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/159007364/ad4ff19/N7000XXLQ2_N7000OXELP6_SER.zip.html
What can I do more ?

First of all the CPU is fine, since you see the Recovery screen.
From Recovery flash Abyss 4.2, reboot Recovery (from Advances).
Wipe user data, Cash and Dalvik Cash,
Flash any ROM.
I had a very similar problem. Resolved by reverting to Franco R4.
Good luck!

When I do that, before flashing the latest rom, I was going into recovery.
Now that I flashed it, I land into a "Android system recovery (3e)".
It's a blue menu like the CWM Recovery but with less options.
I suppose that this is the default recovery system bundled by Samsung...

Now that I flashed the original rom, I lost root, how can I do that ?
When I first got my TMobile Galaxy S2, the first day it died completely while I was sleeping. I tried turning it on and I would feel the vibration of the phone trying to turn on but it wouldn't. I figured the battery had drained so I plugged it in the charger, but the phone wouldn't stay off and charge, it would try turning on over and over. It went into a crazy bootloop. It was my first time with the phone so I thought it went crazy and called samsung.
Eventually the phone got enough of a charge to power on completely without shutting down. I eventually realized that if my phone died completely, what I had to do was use my Car Charger, which didn't turn my phone on and showed me the little battery indicator showing it was charging.
I don't know if this is similar to what you experienced but hope it helps.

a similar thing happened to me earlier,
I would advise you not to have wiped anything whilst on ICS even with franco kernel.
If you can go to download mode, do so then using pc odin flash a stock rooted GB rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
then flash cwm recovery. following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
then wipe data, cache and everything else.
you should be back to GB then flash whatever rom you want, I would advise you to flash paranoidandroid which is superb.
the only difference I had with you, is that i did not wipe data or cache whilst on ICS so this may not work for you as you have done that.
But this method worked for me.
Ok, I'll try to flash the GB rom, and I'll be back to get you update of the situation...
I think I'll be back on HTC soon... I don't understand why the phone reacted like that...

try holding vol down+home+power button and see if you can still go into download mode.
if yes, then download stock gingerbread and flash it through PC odin (link can be found in Dr. Ketan's thread)
don't try to do things too fast else you'll end up doing something wrong again, have patience.
if this doesn't work, others im sure will post more help.

When u r on official/stock ICS, you need to flash/install safe kernels like Hydracore, Speedmode, Philz etc first..only then u should flash custom roms/wipe data/factory reset..so ur phone is now not going to recovery mode as well as download mode?

How much was the battery before flashing the rom.?

battery was 57% and it was clockworkmod
This is why it makes sense to go through the forum, ask about and carefully read instructions before you do anything you are unsure of. Flashing a custom rom without root from stock ICS. That's the worst scenario I've seen. In any case, seems like you did hard brick your phone. If you're under Samsung warranty, send it to them, they will replace the chip. If you're not under warranty, you can try using some of the guides floating around, search for revive bricked phone, go through the threads and look at other people's results. But that's only if you're not under warranty, cause at this point you can't do anything else to make it worse.

once they a charged battery in the note. If that also does not have any effect on the phone. that is no download mode, then it's hard bricked and motherboard is the only option

Cheers man, i have sent my phone back to my carrier saying it just went dead. If unsuccesful, then i will do as you told me. I will let you know how it goes
hopefully they will be able to sort it out under warranty as the phone was not rooted and possibly a wrong file installation has messed up the phone

Help please with flashing Rom (potentially bricked?)

Hi,
I was running the JellyBam installer having rooted using a guide at cursed4eva, using cwm.zip. The only thing I'm unsure of is because the phone was owned before me, whether a custom kernel was installed (perhaps Franco as it was on the sd card)... I wiped everything using recovery mode, and ran cwm.zip, then followed the guide. Everything was going fine, until during the installer it asked if I want to update a kernel or keep the kernel thats already on, but not knowing what to do and not being able to find anything on the internet, I just left it at the default option and updated the kernel. It remained on 2% while uncompressing the image file, but when I looked my phone had turned off and was unresponsive. I was going from rooted stock 4.04. Both recovery mode and download mode aren't available...
Is it likely to be hard-bricked or softbricked, and what do you suggest doing? I haven't had it over a year, so under UK law I should still have warranty on it, right?
Please help!
Warm regards,
Lee
Sounds more like a superbrick.. It's wells known that cwm.zip adviced by cursed4eva in YouTube its dangerous and can trigger the emmc bug.. I don't know why that dude haven't remove that video so far..
Try removing the battery for some minutes and then turn on the device in odin mode (power +volume down +home) and flash a stock gingerbread with pc odin

Thanks for your quick and helpful response. I'll try it in the next few hours, and let you know how it goes. Is the superbrick fix the thing which, if successful loses 3gb of space?
Once again, thanks for your help

First what it's first.. Flash the stock gb.. If that doesn't work then following question would be do you have warranty?

I haven't been able to access a PC tonight, but I'll try tomorrow. I don't suppose it's possible on a Mac is it? It is within my 1 year statutory rights, so that should be ok
Thanks for all your help guys!
If nothing happens when I've connected it to the PC with Odin open, and pressing Power+Vol Dwn+Home, does that mean its super bricked, or am I just doing something wrong?

You need to put the device in odin mode (volume down + home + Power until a warning shows up) when the warning appear on the screen release everything and press volume up to confirm.. Once in odin mode you can plug the device to the pc.
But before that you need to install either kies or samsung drivers in your pc.. You can find samsung drivers in Dr ketans toolbox in general section.. Once done with this, connect the device and wait for Windows to setup the device..
Once donde you can open odin.. And a yellow block should turn on In the upper left corner..

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried putting my device into Odin mode, but nothing appeared on the screen (and I held it for about a minute!). I've downloaded the Samsung Drivers, just to double check that it was already installed, and it was.
I can't get anything whatsoever on the screen. I don't even know if it's working at all... I can't get anything even though it's plugged into the mains. Any help would be greatly appreciated
First of all try to charge the battery externally using other phone or a ext charger. make sure there is juice on the battery and try to go to download mode again. battery might not get charged in that phone...
Once that done and still the phone is unresponsive .., no indication of screen display at all.like the N7000 logo (vol dwn+pwr+home) or (vol up+power+home), then it may be hard bricked and need a motherboard replacement .. I guess the samsung warranty is from the date of purchase as on the cash memo
Many thanks. I've had it plugged in and I can feel its warm so it must be charging. I've also tried a replacement battery to no avail. I guess it must be completely bricked. If Samsung only replace the motherboard then I'll try the retailer first, worth a try!
Many thanks for your help
Ok.. and let us know how it goes

Have to love Amazon! Even though I bought it last May, they're replacing it - no questions asked! Is there a guide on how to do this the best way possible on the new device? There's so much out of date information on the internet, including the guide I initially followed!

Dead its dead... Just return it and please do not ever wipe on ics stock kernels or use cwm.zip just read here or ask... Better ask than burning another device

Well lesson learned my friend and also for everyone else that reads this including myself. Happy to see you are getting it replaced l!

Hes already getting a replacement
Thanks guys. Yeah, I got a replacement today from Amazon. No questions asked! Just to clarify to install Jellybam, I can follow the steps on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 to replace the kernel, and then going into Recovery Mode, flash the zip and then during the installer I don't want to replace the kernel? Right?

Philz kernel is only for stock samsung roms. If the new phone you go is on stock ICS rom, then install this kernel from stock recovery. This will give you root.
The boot into recovery and do all wipes ( factory reset and wipe cache partition dalvik cache)
then go to mounts & storage and do format /system, format/data, format/preload.
then go to Install Zip and install the rom
This rom wont work with Philz kernel. so you need to use the kernel included in the ROM or Hydracore V7.

Ok thank you for your help! I'll start now and let you know how it goes. Is there anything in this process that I need to be careful to ensure I don't brick it (other than using cwm.zip!)?
