I did go back to GB and i updated to newest GB nordic and i had my phone like that in hours without root or anything...and just like that i couldnt make call and when i went to setting it says baseband "unknown" so i asked around and ppl said wipe would fix the problem, when i made the wipe i got this error " E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument) " so i was thinkin maybe ill make a new flash in odin and i did that after that i couldnt start the phone, its turning on but i get only on samsung logo, i can go to download mode or CWM and i can use adb from pc to the phone but i cant do anything..so i check DATAFS and tested it and its corrupted, it goes to 5 % and then its stops.
So what can i do ? Please help..
wrong threads mate...this is devt...
wrong thread n you will not get answer here
It sounds like your EFS is corrupted, Do you by any chance have a back up of it ?
Check your IMEI number, I assume it will be Samsung generic 0044xxxxxxxxxxx something like that.
This happened to me a few times on the SGS1. I tried flashing GB via ODIN, with EFS clear ticked, It worked for me but i would advise you not to do this unless you have no other solutions.
When i check my IMEI *#06# then i dont get any IMEI, its empty and now when i try to flash gb stock or ICS then i cant start the phone..i get only to logo and when i try to wipe its gettin freezed
So is the phone booting at the moment ? Can you access recovery by any chance ?
Flashing a clean stock ODIN firmware usually fixes this issue.

I can access download mode and "CMW" without a problem and i can use the adb too but then i cant do anything else
ok, You definitely dont have an efs backup on your sd card or PC anywhere ? I have one on mine, I didnt create it, Some ROM or kernel created it but i cant recall which one.

No sorry i dont have the efs backuped up, im new on this, everything happened without any reason, i didnt do anything...but i think the data is corrupted too cuz i cant do anything, i mean before i did the first time wipe i could go in the phone but i couldnt make call but now i cant do anything then download mode, recovery mode.
Ok, Well try this:
Go into CWM recovery, Wipe Cache partition and Dalvik Cache, DO NOT DO A FULL WIPE UNLESS YOUR KERNEL IS SAFE
then,
Flash stock GB via odin, After the flash, Reboot into recovery (will be stock android recovery) and do a full factory reset.
Then reboot, The phone should boot up normally, and hopefully EFS will be restored. If the phone doesnt boot, We can explore some other options.
The EFS corruption wont be preventing the phone from booting.

Thanks ill try that and ill come back to u again, one question where can i get the fixed .pit files? cuz i had before mmc problem and i need special .pit files that someone modded here.. dont remember the link..do u ?
So your note is bricked ? or do you just think it could be ?
The pit files are on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
Only use them if you need to and are 100% sure your phone is bricked

This brick thing was long time ago and i fixed it with flashing pit...now after 3-4 week this happened with the radio but i was on stock GB nordic and didnt have root or anything and that happened...
Edit: btw can u give me safe KERNEL
Hmm i cant format /data, its gettin freezed.
Edit: now it says data wipe complete but it still get freezed, do you think i got problems with my /data ?
Right ok, Well Im not sure how flashing the pit files work, Luckily ive never had this issue, I assume you will flash them via ODIN combined with a firmware too ?
If thats the case, use GB as its always a safe option to go back to.
Or, I heard somewhere, that you could flash the NON patched pit files and this will put your phone back into the bricked state, Then you could send it out for warranty.
Anyway, this is the end of the line for me, I dont know what to do next im afraid But let me know how you get on

When i made wipe in recovery mode, the phone got freezed but then it said its complete and it took time then i clicked to restart and now it take time to restart...i get to the samsung galaxy note gt n7000 and it get freezed for a bit then the phone restart again
Im confused, Is this happening before or after you flashed the patched pit files ?
Look here for a reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12
Is there a way to remove the counts in adb or cmw or something if there is then i can go to service and go with my garanti.

ive flashed with odin with stock and pit and the phone complete it and then after when it starts i get errors IU something...i do wipe and it freeze a bit then it complete then i reboot the phone and it gets freezed to logo
right i see,
So the phone is now completely stock right ? Including stock recovery also ?
if so, You can use a USB JIG to remove the yellow triangle and binary count, Thus resulting in a clean stock faulty phone of which you should get fixed under warranty.
Here's the guide on removing the binary count and triangle, you can make your own jig or buy one online. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...vuz_Bg&usg=AFQjCNE_p2cZdwEpNAhP2QNPUyFYWAfmzQ
However Flashing stock firmware should have reset the binary count and removed the triangle.
Update: Solved
Thank you for everyone's reply and help.
What worked for me:
Downloaded Mobile ODIN v3.10
Downloaded Goku v1.5-10 TAR (Kernel-Goku-V1.5-10.tar)
Flashed firmware with Mobile Odin with MD5 signature check
Can now boot into recovery
Currently on:
CM9 Version 9-20120515-Nightly-n7000
Build date Tue May 15 23:06:26
Kernel version 3.0.30-CM-q6804ca8
I cant seem to get into recovery while using any of the ICS roms. I've tried several CM9 bulds, Kindgroid, Stunner and a few others. I doesn't matter if i try to access it through the hardware keys (press and hold the Volume UP+Home+Power) or through one of the software options (reboot into recovery). After the samsung logo apears the screen will turn black. I'll have to restart the phone with the power key.
Everything else seems to be fine. I can get into download mode just fine. I have no problems downgrading to a gingerbread rom from pc odin or mobile odin. Also theirs no problem for me getting into recovery from any of the gingerbread roms I've tried.
I first noticed this while I was on ICS stunner. It was the build with the affected kernel. Everything was running smooth for me. Recovery and everything else seemed to be working fine but when i started reading posts about the brick scare i became afraid of doing anything else on that kernel.
I followed Entropy512's advise:
If you are running an affected kernel:
STOP USING IT IMMEDIATELY. FLASH A SAFE KERNEL USING ODIN/HEIMDALL.
DO NOT wipe in recovery
DO NOT flash anything else in recovery
In general, DO NOT use recovery at all
I flashed his DAFUQ releas using mobile odin while still on stunner. Everything seemed to go smooth. After flashing I checked under setting -> about phone -> kernal version and his kernel was properly displayed. I tried going into recovery but the screen would turn black after the samsung logo.
I've must of done something wrong while flashing Entropy512's kernel because ever since I flashed his kernel I havent been able to get into recovery while running an ICS rom.
TL;DR
Cant access recovery from ICS roms but recovery works fine while on gingerbread roms
Did you try before flashing ics do a 3 wipes first while in girgerbread for a clean installation?

Yeah it was one of the 1st things I tried when I encountered the problem.
Can anyone confirm if the recovery is stored in the same place for both ics and gingerbread? I feel like I might have damaged some sectors and might have some bad blocks. Everything else seems fine though.

How about 4 wipes including format/system and also use jbroid even though your not installing a kernel but rom still use it.
Flash stock GB rom. Reroot it and then check everything is working fine? If yes then flash ICS rom.

I've tried jbroid and formatted system but it didnt help. Like I said... everything is fine on GB, recovery and everything else. I've been back and forth several times already. Everything seems to be working fine on ICS too. I just can't access recovery no matter what I do while on ICS. I'll try wiping 4 times from gingerbread this time.

In the system setting of the phone there is back up and reset and there you can format usb storage, this will format your internal sd, this is in ics setting i forgot about gingerbread. You can do this while in gingerbread to be safe, format your internal sd.

Yes.. I've tried that before installing my current ICS rom. Actually I formatted both the internal and external SD while still on GB. I'm still wondering if the recovery stored in the same partition space in both GB and ICS. I can't understand why I can access CWM recovery on GB but not while I'm on ICS.
i too have the same problem even though i can access cwm manually cant install any zip file but if i use abyssnote kernell everything works fine the problem started when switched over to ics from gb

Wiping more than once is pointless... I don't know where people get silly ideas like "wipe 3 times".
When you switched to something else, did you flash it using CWM or Odin?
Try flashing a different kernel using Odin. I have seen that in rare cases on some devices, doing something like the following:
Flash one kernel from a recovery
Reboot directly to recovery using CWM's Advanced menu
At this point, the device will be stuck either always booting to recovery or never booting to recovery
Flashing a kernel with Odin/Heimdall - NOT "Mobile Odin" (I hate that name because it's completely different from Odin) or CWM often breaks these loops.
problem accessing recovery
hi today i solved my problem of not unable to find cwm in programs and flashing zip files from recovery while on ics. first i flashed abyssnote kernell then rebooted into recovery did all the three wipes and in addition formatted data, system and cache. then used jbroid kernell cleaner. installed fusion rom flashed green theme rebooted at last could see cwm in programs can flash any zip file now
Thank you sir for your swift action.

actually was on the stock ics and tried to install kingdroid by CWM.zip
and wiped data and cache from touch/temporary cwm..
then after install it got stuck on the first screen...
since then have tried to flash stock ics / gb firmwares but not getting past the first screen
first of all, make sure you don't make some foolish steps in wiping your phone., secondly, try to uninstall cmpletely PC kies and reinstall it again after. Once you've reinstalled that, don't open it, just open PC ODIN and try to boot back your phone in download mode. Make sure you have a yellow box on COM:1 in ODIN and use an extracted stock GB tar file and start flashing again.
EDIT: Since you've just mentioned you already wipe data in stock ICS.. are you using a safe kernel when you did the wiped?
if not, you may have toasted your Note.. imho...
it can take 5 to 10 mins after install to start however if it still goes no further and you can get into recovery can you flash any custom kernal,if you can do so then wipe and try to reflash if not i would ask dr ketan as he is awesome and may be able to help
^ No need to wait for that, as OP has already done a stupid thing of wiping on a touch CWM.. something that shouldn't be done at all....
only thing he can do is go to the section for the pit method partition to revive his phone... that's it!

but sadly the stock recovery is not accessing my memory card files and only internal sd and it has no option to mount storage ..
how to access the files i put in my memory card.. or should i flash some other ics stock rom as they have more options in stock recovery ??
no need to aggravate the problem by flashing another ICS... your Note's been bitten already.. don't let it bite twice...
Your last rom flashed is KL3 then have you wipe cache and data from recovery?
If not then do it, it should boot then.
Make sure last rom was flashed correctly and u are currently on KL3
If you have to press home button in recovery to enter your choice then it should be gb (kl3)rom (on ics you need to press power to select)
If wiping cache and data also not work, then flash wipe version of gb rom. If it stuck at data.img then yu have got damaged and should send to service Centre, without doing anything

Just got my Galaxy S back from my Mum today (After I bricked it and sent for repair) she got a note2 omg... Decided to flash a custom rom..
Here goes..
First I followed this guide completelyhttp://http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide. After I flash the CM 10, my recovery was upgraded to v6.0.1.5 after reboot. But I cannot get pass the recovery. I will have the cm boot animation, then back to recovery again. Tried reflashing the rom, doesnt say any errors but still gets stuck at recovery.
Then I went thru the method at the wiki.cyanogenmod again and successfully flashed cwm recovery 2.5 again. Tried flashing the CM10 rom again but this time round, It shows a long error message ending with "status 7"
I am still able to go into download mode.
Was on stock unrooted 2.3.3 DXJV9.
I made the super no.1 noob mistake of not making a backup........... But, why is rooting and flashing of this phone so hard.....
Pls, any help is greatly appreciated.
Btw, I have manage to flash the stock image via odin but is still stuck in a boot loop.. after Odin completed and reboot, I am back into the stock recovery with the below error messages.
It will work

U just use GB jw4(your region) ROM (don't use single file like PDA).........you use files separately like this [PDA,phone,CSC,pit(512 or 513)]...............use Odin 1.85 for flashing files......,when u complete the flashing it automatically reboot to fulfill the flashing...........then also it gives red error means........ clear only wipe cache and don't clear wipe all data...........reboot your system..... I think this will work for u...........:fingers-crossed:
Thanks. Have it solved. Flashed with another rom with seperate files. I was using the the all in one previously. Got it to run CM10 nightly though till now still not too sure how... But, I m real happy now. It works great so far and I couldnt understand why Sammy refuse to roll out official ones even for 4.0..
Still trying to figure out how to root, flash SGS though.. I have done so for many other device but by far,... this phone is the most complicating....
Aj rocker root
By processor only we not getting stock ICS rom but we getting custom ROM by hacking processor.............
For rooting the ROM u want to be in stock GB ROM like 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 and then u want to download this file(http://download.chainfire.eu/132/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip)............. after download u want to open Odin 1.85 and select PDA then choose the downloaded file...........select start to flash the file.........reboot and enjoy the root bosssss......if u like this press thanks:fingers-crossed:

What I did was,
Flashed Android 2.3.5 XXJVS Firmware and rooted with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVS-v4.1-CWM3RFS.zip
Flashed the speedmod kernel via heimdall
Wiped data/cache. Flashed Latest CM10 nightly
( at this point, there was a error "status 0" installation aborted. When I reboot, the CM10 boot animation flashed twice and it brought me straight to CWM 6.0.1.5. Is this normal behaviour?? Then, not too sure what to do, I wipe data/cache and flashed CM10 and gapps again. this time round, installation successful and after reboot it boot into CM10. )
Is the above normal behaviour?
Next time I wish to change rom, from where I now( CM10) just need to wipe Data/cache and flashed the other rom?
Try to see if you can flash another custom Rom, if that works then it could be that your files are corrupted..
Have you stated your problem over at CM forums..

Most times from GB to JB u have 2 flash custom 2, 3 times. So its normal when flashing custom the first time it takes u to bootanimation and hangs (take out battery and go to recovery with 3 button combo and flash again till it says install is completed) or directly into recovery.
If u wanna flash other jb rom just full wipe and flash new custom. Make sure u make a nandroid backup so u can go back easily
Hello, i have had my galaxy note for a couple of weeks now.
bit of this and that, you know how it is, flashing a few roms, checking things out, keeping it safe and stuff.
idiotic of me, didn't do a backup.
now
everything was working perfectly fine.
'till i decided to put some music on my sdcard
so i shut the phone down, open it up, take out the battery, take the sdcard, put it in pc, put some music (music i had on it before, so the files could've somehow magically ****ed up the device) then but it back on.
ever since, my device won't boot, it will go to CWM recovery, it will go to download mode, but not like, properly boot. all it does is show the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 thingie, then screen goes black, and back again to Samsung Galaxy Note N7000, then black again, over and over again.
i figured, it must be something wrong with the bootanimation, had a custom one put there, so i deleted it, cuz that way it goes back to stock.
did that, didn't help, same thing.
then, decided to flash the rom again, even tho it was working perfectly for a few days now, (stock 4.0.4 deodexed zipaligned with hydracore safe kernel)
reflashed, didn't help, nothing happened.
things were weird, i thought i should go back to a GB rom, that always...fixes the problem.
tried to flash with ODIN, stuck at factoryfs, when i pulled the cable out, it would tell me the thingummyjig with firmware update has encountered an issue please bla bla kies.
then, I EVEN TRIED the kies, it won't connect, even tho my drivers are right, and i used kies with it before.
NOW, i thought to myself, ****, the phone won't go to recovery anymore, won't boot normaly, just in download, well, download a speedmod kernel which is safe and flash it, that should give you a CWM and safe kernel to flash from
did that, worked.
flashed the stock 4.0.4 rom again, then flashed philz latest kernel for the rom, and i'm back to square one.
nothing changed, i still can't use my note.
WHAT. DO?
right, well, i tried flashing alliance rom, and it gets stuck at mounting partitions....
the blue bar goes on and on till it gets out of the designated loading space
i can't wipe cache, i can't wipe dalvik, it just gets stuck.

I just quoted the bad line in your post. This is a strong indicator that you have a bricked device.
So you should try to install a different stock GB or ICS Rom with Odin again. If it stucks there again: bricked.
Then you can try to use the workaround described in hg42's thread with repartition. Or send your device for a motherboard replacement to Samsung.
hg42 has a partition scanner which allows to check for emmc problems. Try this.

Thing is, phone worked flawlessly before, safe kernel,could flash anything,then this just happened....
Phone doesnt have warranty, sending it to some service would only have me end up with extra costs for putting the motherboard there, which i can do myself
right, welll
i tried flashing speedmod kernel with odin, it worked.
then i tried installing a GB rom via CWM
works well till it gets stuck at flashing modem.

As I wrote before: possibility that you have a bricked device.
Why don't you try the partition scanner or why don't you try to flash a stock GB and check if you get stuck again with factoryfs.img.
As long as you try different things without a "plan" what you want to test you'll get nothing in the end.

Why don't you try the partition scanner or why don't you try to flash a stock GB and check if you get stuck again with factoryfs.img.
As long as you try different things without a "plan" what you want to test you'll get nothing in the end.

tried flashing a stock gb with odin (tried 1 file in pda before, now i tried with 3 files(modem, rom, csc), same thing happened.)
stuck at factoryfs again
i didn't want to get to the partition scanner yet, wanted to clear out any other possibility first, using the scanner as a last resort.
what about pit files?

also, i really wanna thank you for showing some interest in my issue, means a lot to me, just wanted to let you know i really appreciate it, and i acknowledge the fact that you're a good, helping member.
thanks bro, you're awesome.
If you have tried also with the correct original pit, then it's time for the scanners to do its job

right
so, i've checked out this thread, about the pit method, and after i opened the emmc_find_brick_start.zip, it started scanning normally, and it finished without being stuck anywhere, and then at the end it said scanned 15027 MiB = 15757 MB completed --> OK then the ---end thingie and done.
so the brick start isn't there, which i assume means my phone is NOT bricked, at least not by the emmc thingummyjig
but if so, what the hell am i to do? like really?
tried flashing gb with cwm, stuck at flashing modem
tried flashing gb with odin, stuck at factoryfs
what the ****?
Get the pit file from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Then flash the GB rom using pc odin. Make sure pit is selected and the repartition is ticked.
Also if you still have access to cwm try to install a CM10 rom first before trying out the above method.
SOOOOO
bit of an update.
right, after the whole emmc scanning brick mbs and stuff, decided to try and flash allianceROM 4.0.4 final
did it, worked, the flashing.
now i'm stuck at a non blinking, non changing non nothing, Smasung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 screen, with the yello jello triangle, same as before, but its not blinking now.
Ok. Try booting into recovery and performing a full wipe.

full wipe means:
factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
reboot.
right?
did that, as soon as i hit reboot, it got stuck again there, the frozen CWM screen.
battery in/out, back to square 1
Still try a cm rom as it's small in size and easier to download. CM10.1 flash from recovwey
