Hi Guys.
Got an I9305 here, I rooted it (apparently fine), then (via recovery) flashed a cusom ROM, rebooted but it stayed on the I9305 screen. Now I can't get to recovery, it will go to download but I can detect it via heimdall, and it still wont boot. Have I killed it or is there anything I can do to resurect it? I've been searching the forums here for ages, but I'm just going in circles with getting any closer to a solution.
Ideas?

If you can get download mode then try flashing a stock ROM via Odin.
You're still in luck when you have download mode, when you don't have that or recovery then you start worrying.
PS: don't forget you have a I9305 when searching for a stock ROM.

I can get to download (the only place I can get), but neither Odin or Heimdall will connect to it, they both just sit there as if the phone isn't plugged in.

Then you don't have the correct drivers installed
Have you used Odin/Heimdall before?

OK got it connect now, I've used Heimdall several times on my I9300 without problem so I think it's a hardware problem. I flashed a new recovery and can now get to that when needed but it still wont let me boot any ROMs I flash, it just hangs at the I9305 screen. Is there anyway I can reset the custom binary count from Heimdall/Odin or recovery so I can send it back to get replaced/fixed?
Try this before doing anything drastic, It's stock but rooted but do it through Odin.

These roms you've been flashing, do they contain a kernel? Hanging on boot screen can be indicative of a couple of things, firstly, if you have the wrong kernel, fix that. Secondly, try clearing data and cache, this can work wonders. Thirdly, if ADB is currently enabled, try bringing up a shell through it ("adb shell", note: not in recovery obviously, as this mode is already working fine) and type "dmesg", this will print out what the kernel is currently doing, usually if something is erroring you will see the same text re-appear multiple times. If the kernel initiation gets stuck in a loop it will literally never get out of it so that would be a good way to see that, could be a piece of hardware is damaged. Since you can get to recovery I reckon you should be able to mount system/data in that and enable ADB in android if it isn't already, I don't know how to do this though.
Good luck!
Something that's helped me before in this situation was:
Go to mounts and storage in recovery and format System, Data and Internal storage.
Then download stock firmware and Flash via Odin.
This pretty much wipes your phone of everything and gives you a fresh install
You have to wipe data after flashing a ROM
Hi Guys,
I tried flashing a stock ROM via Heimdall again, and this time it worked. The phone is still very flacky though, so I'm convinced it's a hardware issue. Managed to triangle away and get everything stock, so they should never know when I send it back for replacement ;^>
Thanks to all for your suggestions.

Hey guys my friends phone for some reason wont recognize the USB from the computer. So we cant put anything on his internal card, the usb just charges it. I tried to odin in download mode and still wont read the phone. Tried USB debugging, try reformatting, tried factory resetting, battery pull, clearing cache etc. Just everything you can do basically.
Wondering if anyone knows a fix for this.
Thanks.
Stupid question, but oort worked before correct?
What rom are you on
What are you looking to do
He is on Seredipities 5.8 with the suckerpunchs kernel.
It did before but stopped randomly 2 weeks ago.
He just wants the function back as it is very inconvenient.
Try different kernel
Dl sgs kernel flasher from market
Dl hardcore kernel
Open app
Choose kernel
...
Navigate to download folder
Select kernel zip
Flag kernel
Tried that and still nothing.
What happens when you plug into the pc? Are you using an oem cord?
Tried reinstalling drivers?
We get no response from my computer, and his computer says USB no recognized.
I already reinstalled the drivers, my phone works no problem just his. Same builds too.
We are using the OEM cord and when we plug it in his phone just starts charging, nothing about USB.
Got me, could try another rom, although I am bit certain that will work. Sorry, could be a hardware issue
Perhaps I'll get him to do that if there is a rom that doesnt requite odin back to stock.
Hopfully it isnt a hardware issue.
Thanks anyways.
Any rom can be flashed without odin, I do it all the time, did it twice today
Ok will give it a try, just every rom I read they tell us to flash to stock so just assumed we had to.
Honestly, old habit, dev do not know what you have on your phone so if you start from stock easier to problem shoot
Sorry I just read my mistake
We flashed a new rom but now he is stuck on the boot screen... Can't even get into recovery any more. I guess its bricked now? f**k...
What rom, can you still get into recovery, how long in boot screen
Stayed for ever, waited 15 mins. Can't get into recovery either. We tried to flash a froyo stock rom.

That is your problem right there. I wish you posted that first. Serendipity had ext 4 lag fix, custom recovery. All custom roms have custom recovery that can understand ext 4. Stock dots not so you should of disabled lag fix first.
Get into dl mode try all ported on pc to get odin to recognize
Can't even get in download mode.
Hi,
Tried to install Kingdroid 1.5 yesterday. since than I'm trying to fix my note with no success.
This is what I tried to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652831
I failed to do the following step:
-We went into recovery and install this kernel without leaving the recovery going to advanced and reboot in recovery
And the rom was not installed successfully.
because of panic, tried to restore my device to stock ICS from a previous backup - failed.
Tried another backup of GB - Failed.
Tried ODIN for Stock ICS and succeeded.
After success on this, tried restoring again to my previous backup, and since than I'm stuck on " factoryfs.img"
Tried Abd, but my device was not recognized on 3 Win machines and 1 linux box.
I have download mode available, and also recovery mode.
Currently, I'm bricked, thinking to take it to the shop I bought it at...
Any other Ideas?
Thanks a lot!

If you have download mode available, then you're not bricked, only soft-bricked perhaps.
Try flashing again with Odin...
From my knowledge, superbricks occur when wiping on an unsafe ICS kernel, such as old i9220 leak repack, LPY...

CM9 kernels, based on i9100 update 4 are safe. That makes official Cyanogen Mod 9 Nightlies and ROMs like Asylum and ParanoidAndroid safe
From his post I got that he was able to flash official ICS with Odin once, meaning it didn't get stuck at factory.fs...so...might be still hope
From what I get, we should add another one to the long list of hard bricks.

I'm guessing you tried restoring your backup in CWM??
My Galaxy note is stuck on black screen no response from buttons just black screen.
This was after I did a wipe data and installed CM9 rom.
What options do I have, will one of these jtag dongles help me?
I just saw some ebay sellers offering an unbrick service for about £21 (im in the uk) where you post it to them to fix.
Any help appreciated

Hey guys, it's been a while!
Anyway, before I even got my I9000 I had everything sorted to install Darky's ROM and the Speedmod kernel. Some time between them working perfectly and now, I plugged the phone in to Kies and it has tried to update me to GB. SM and DR did not like this.
I managed to do a factory reset (or whatever it is in CWM), and that got the phone to boot, but it isn't pretty. I get the kind of graphical messing up that a dying GPU would render whilst booting the phone, it reboots 25% of the time I am using the music player, and I can NOT boot in to download or recovery any more. I already tried plugging it in to Kies in the hopes it could just wipe the phone over and start again, but it simply does not recognise it.
Likewise, I would look in to the files I need to just do the equivalent of a full format with Odin/ADB, but without download mode I don't think that would even work.
So, the question is; just what the **** am I supposed to do?
USB recovery jig.
can you get into your phone ??????????? I mean can you reach Settings ???? because I didnt read all your speech .
Search for "recovery.tar" and flash it with MOBILE Odin, this would give u cwm and flash a new rom in cwm or flash a stock rom with mobile Odin. Good luck

Mobile Odin? Interesting, will look in to it.
EDIT: This recovery.tar; should it be on my phone already or do I have to find one? Because Astro can't find jack **** on my phone.
EDIT2: Scratch that, found it. Trying to flash it using "Open File..." has just resulted in it being stuck at:
"Flashing...
Flashing Kernel..."
for the last 10 minutes...
Thanks for the replies so far guys!
solved it ???????????
Nope. Sorry, I have been editing that post rather than enter new posts (until someone else posts, of course).
EDIT: Still flashing...
Ok, it now won't boot at all (stuck at the Samsung splash load screen), BUT, importantly, I can get in to download mode and CWM recovery.
What do I download and do to entirely wipe the **** out of this phone and start again?
EDIT:
Fixed. Sorted. Thanks for your help guys, it is much appreciated.
so my brother brought me his semi bricked n7000 "btw i searched and googled"
well, yesterday my brother brought me his cellphone which doesn't boot anymore, he wanned to install a custom rom since he saw that i have a fast one (galaxy s I)
so when i asked him what he did , he said he followed all the steps in rootgalaxynoteDOTcom/galaxy-note-roms/kingdroid-ics-rom-v3-0-for-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-best-ics-romtouchwiz-ux/[/url]
but then, his phone didn't boot, so he wiped - reset factory setting, which i read is a BIG NO when you're flashing ICS.
so whats done is done, i am trying to get it back , i can boot in recovery mode/download mode ... i tried out many kernels like AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo or speedmod, and downloaded at least 4 or 5 GB stock roms.
sadly , if odin flash is successful, it stuck on (samsung galaxy note gt-n7000) black srcreen, reboots few times then stays still...
if the odin flash wasn't successful , it keeps stuck on data.img and never goes beyond that .
i did all the steps i could find, wiped data after installed stock GB rom and rebooted, nothing worked
i even used rogue_ET-recoveryonly , and i think it went along format all the way, but still nothing happened after that.
the only thing i haven't tried yet was the repartition + pit file, i couldn't find the PIT , most of the roms have pda/modem/csc ... so if anyone can help out, i would really appreciate it ..
thanks
First thing you should do is check other threads about that around here.
If you can get it into download mode, you could give flashing with Odin a try. If it doesn't get stuck at factory.fs, then you're not superbricked.
If it does get stuck, then you have 2 more hopes:
- HOPE 1
- HOPE 2
If those don't work either...I'm afraid it's off to the Samsung Service center for a shiny new motherboard.
Best of luck to you and hope you get your Note up and running as soon as possible...
thanks, no it doesn't get stuck at factoryfs at all , i did check out most of the threads here, and most of them say "go back to GB with odin and if its stuck on samsung gt-n7000 boot screen just go back with recovery mode and then wipe data / cache " but never worked, so i thought i should ask around here
i'll check out the threads you posted and see what i can come up with
weird, i used the 16gb pit - repartition (check)
and i flashed it with SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS through odin.
and its still the same, the flashing with odin was successful and everything went fine, no hanging , no delays or what so ever. after it restarts its stuck on the black samsung galaxy note gt-n7000 screen
im gonna wipe data / cache again but i doubt that would fix anything.
so any idea what could be wrong? specially when the flashing process went fine?
i've already tried like 4 stock roms ,
arabic uae , europe , saudia and the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS
i wonder if i need to put something in boot space in odin "just a thought"
ive tried downloading roms from here [STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1place,Latest ICS LQ3
and here [STOCK ODEX PRE ROOTED ROMs] for Odin PC no counter & triangle
any ideas?
For OP:
If you are not stucking while flashing from PC Odin then you are not superbricked.
I think you got corrupted /system or other partition; I saw another thread where OP was getting this sort of hang due to filesystem corruption which can't mount.
Entropy512 gave simple dd command based solution for erasing initial 1MB of partition.
Try searching for corrupted filesystem/partition related information. I can't recall exact thread title, sorry.
I hope this will help.

Should try to install/reinstall samsung usb driver package. or try reinstall Kies also provide drivers for Note.
If driver is install properly: when connect with PC using usb cable it need to be shown under hardware management as something like "android composite adb interface" or something like that.

Also are you trying to connect adb after booting the phone ? Means in a stuck state ? I think you can try enabling ADB thing from CWM rather than trying to boot phone fully.
hmm i can't find an option in CWM that suggests that , still searching
also im trying to find roms that i can install from CWM , are there any GB roms that can be directly installed from CWM ?

Hi: I understand he means boot the phone into CWM and then connect to PC in that environment. adb need to be run from PC while the phone is booted into CWM recovery.
Still, most of the custom roms are in the .zip format and can be install using CWM. they just now become a bit more difficult to find since dev move on to ICS/CM9 roms. Still try to find some GB roms in the forum such as: rocket GB, litening GB, xtralite GB....
This is the link for Rocket rom GB. Better try v22 than v23.

hmm. that should be still the problem with usb driver. Have you checked under hardware management if it show the device as "samsung composite adb interface" yet?
kernel should not be the problem with connecting adb. It is the problem with usb driver for Note. Sometime Win7 have problem with driver. You may want to search for another package of samsung usb driver on the web.
I did put some links of GB roms in the post in the previous page. maybe try them first if any luck.
Also try to restart computer to see if the driver issues get solved.
Got to go. Hope that you can solve the problem. GL.

thanks again guys , i'll post the updates here,

looks like deleting and adding partitions back through parted kinda work, for the first time i was able to pass the boot screen after i installed rocketrom from CWM
however, its been 1/2 hour since im stuck on rocketrom loading screen it keeps looping and looping.. i wonder if i should wait more.. or should i try another rom?
finally got rid of the verification -.- was kinda annoying thats why i didn't bother editing posts,
anyways, rocketrom didn't work, so i decided to flash a stock rom instead , the flash through odin went fine, it was great to be able to wipe data without getting stuck , however, it keeps going though samsung animation over and over, i think im gonna leave it like this one the charger till morning, i wonder if it'll be the same
guess i have to google for "samsung loop" , i wonder why this keeps happening though -.-
-.- leaving it for 6 hours on samsung logo animation didn't do the trick , still looping when i woke up, so i guess i'll do some more search on why this is happening.
You have checked partitions and see no error that means the problem lies somewhere else, not partitions. I have no idea yet, but for me I would try some different roms. Small roms have more chance to work, that is the feedback I got from some people:
- try check rom in the link I sent
- try paranoid android which is CM9, or asylum
- extralite
cheers.

thanks buddy, i appreciate your help, the partition "USED" to give me error when i did the check 9 10 11 , but after removing the partition and reformatting them (and i also removed the cache partition) now its working fine "i suppose" i didn't do another check, but i might will now that you mention it.
i already tried rocket rom, didn't work, stock rom didn't work, so i'll give the others a try at least it doesn't get stuck on the boot screen, but its stuck on the animation logo which is an improvement
thanks again

I had the same issue after upgrade to US stock ICS and attempt to install CWM recovery resulted in a tablet that would not boot. Rebooted into recovery mode, rebooted from there to download mode and tried the Odin flash again using the US stock ICS. Each time I did this it got a bit further (as indicated by the download bar on the tablet screen) and eventually it succeeded. I am no expert so I completely fail to understand why this worked but it did.

Just like i said before.. In warning: Do not wipe or anything related to that if youre in ICS..
With stock kernel or stock recovery or One of them but you still in stock ICS boot.img wiping is risky..
if you use a safe recovery but your boot.img is not safe. ..or your boot.img is safe but recovery.img isnt. .
Your still have the emmc bug risk..
Stuck on system.img means odin not recognized your system partition.. Maybe corrupted or faulty..
Please read my warning in general section..

i took a thin box cutter blade and ran it around the edge of the screen while gently pushing out and pulling up... the screen easily separates from the back cover.... behind the screen is a white battery with small mutil colored wires...gently pull up the wires from the mainboard..... battery is now disconnected.... to put back just push those wires back down onto its connectors....
to completely remove there are screws running along the battery... and two ribbons...detach ribbons and unscrew battery
same problem

This thread saved my ass. I too was stuck at the system.img.
Tried to restore using ADB but no joy. I was still able to access the download mode so kept trying ODIN.
It turned out to be my USB 3.0 ports on my laptop.
As soon as I used my USB 2.0 ports on my docking station ODIN worked fine!:laugh:

if odin hangs up halfway through the process, what u have to do is install stock recovery through odin.... then go in to recovery and format data...go back to odin and install clockwork recovery.... go back into recovery and mount system and mount data... next download a app called quick adb pusher on to pc select the rom u want to push... under destination type /data/media/ press send and install ur rom
Failed with Odin 3.09, worked with Odin 3.07
I don't know if this will help.
I needed to re-flash my SM-T310 with the Kitkat 4.4.2 Stock ROM. I found a page suggesting I used Odin 3.09 and the stock ROM pointed to from the Samsung site. I started the load, and saw the same problem, my Odin Log looked just like the one posted earlier. Out of sheer desperation, I started again using the version of Odin (3.07) I had previously used to load TWRP.
And it worked perfectly. Loaded the various components, rebooted, came up with the initial screen ... Phew !!
Maybe I just had some sort of nasty glitch, maybe Odin 3.07 is a bit less picky (!) I have no idea. All I know is it worked for me !!
I had this same problem - got stuck on system.img very near the end, stayed there for hours. Finally fixed it by attaching the usb cable to a different port *d'oh*
same problem stuck in system.img
