Hi All,
Friend's phone was soft bricked during an official update , the phone went off during the update via OTA and then come to a dead state
Never starts up again
What to do except for going to warranty ?
Can you put the phone in Download Mode? (Volume Down + Home + Power)

Why am I thinkig that you do update with some custom kernel. :angel:
If it was JB, you just reflash it like first time you installed it via Odin. All things same.

battery drown through update and then after recharging No way for starting up again
will installing through odine fix it ?
Maybe.
First must enter in Download Mode and then see if he can flash via Odin.

Hi people!
I got bricked my galaxy mini gt-s5570, but not totaly (that means I can still use the download mode, and RAMDUMP ARM9 mode) but I can't power up the phone. That happened after I used ODIN for gt-s5570 and changed the Kernel (I forgot to make backup before), and device was working well with the new kernel, but after it I use the same step in ODIN to get back to the old one. So the result is, when I'm pushing the power key the screen starts to blinks and nothing more! But as I say download mode, and ARM9 mode are still working. Any solution for this?
just download the new firmware from samfirmware.com n flash it thru odin as u can go to download mode..n ur phone will be back to life again..
i accidently pressed thanks on ur first post
I can't, I don't have access to recovery mode, it doesn't work!

I mean even when I flash an official rom with Odin, I still have the same problem, I am trying this since three days now and noway...
i think you tried to upgrade firmware not boot whenever you upgrade firmware it cant be downgrade it can just be more upgraded when you downgrade your firmware it will not boot up it will just show a black screen so just reinstall the firmware again and do not try to downgrade it

Was it an OTA or KIES update u did?
U rooted and on stock or any custom rom ?
If not rooted....then u can still try hitting volume up + home + power buttons all at the same time and holding them pressed till the time the same N7000 logo shows up and leave the buttons then. The phone should boot into stock recovery. Now try clearing the cache there if the option is available. If nothing works then either wipe/format your note (warning all data will be lost except the internal/external sd card) or reflash the firmware through PC odin using Dr Ketan's guide from the stickies post in the development section of note forum here on xda.
How did you update you phone? Via kies?
i am new to all these things! i haven't rooted my phone as well! jst went on to "about phone" and update. after which it didn't started. tried the vol. up home key and power didn't worked...
So it was an OTA update. Did you tried pressing volume down + home + power button for booting into download mode?
ya tried that as well but it said custom OS can cause critical problems so canceled it...

vol up+home+power should work. Try that again and keep pressing them till the time the n7000 logo shows up and leave them immediately after it.
if u are not able to get into recovery then the only way for you is to flash via odin.
Refer the guide and roms here-

does that mean my phone will be rooted?

No. You just flash the latest firmware you want from the PC odin. The phone will be stock rom and wont be rooted unless you run the rooting tool.

Hi, My note is stuck at boot screen after the official OTA update. I tried googling but most seems to pertain to Rooted/flashed phones.
Mine is a new note which has not been rooted at all in the past. I downloaded to OTA update and it has been stuck at the bootscreen for the past few hours.
Any help appreciated!
1. Try pulling out the battery for a few minutes.
2. Boot into recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
should i also wipe the data/factory reset in recovery mode?
No. God forbid, then you might end up with a superbrick
Thanks for your help

Unable to enter recovery mode
Hey I got similar problem, my phone gets stuck at Samsung logo screen. I am unable to enter recovery mode. When it shows android update screen after pressing recovery mode combination, my phone restarts.
Is there anyway I can get back normal mode without losing data on phone

Keep them pressed for 3 seconds more then you end up to recovery. They need to be pressed while booting the device from reboot or off state, then you will end up in recovery or download mode.

Yesterday, I received an OTA on my galaxy note and now it is also stuck in boot screen with the breathing samsung logo.
I tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots.
Can someone help me to boot my phone?
Got mine backup and running after OTA update gave me Samsung logo freeze issue
So after the 7MB OTA stability patch mine too was stuck on samsung logo.
Kies wouldn't recover it and putting into download mode or recovery mode didn't help. I too tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots but i didn't at the time try for 3 more seconds.
I then used ODIN and applied a downloaded Aussie Gingerbread ROM as i couldn't find Aussie ICS ROM. With my plan to do a Kies/wifi update to ICS. This caused acore and other processes to crash every few seconds. I then did a factory reset which got it stable and then tried to update to ICS but the phone said there were no updates available. Then I applied the international ICS using ODIN so i'm back were i was two days ago before the stupid 7MB patch.
Unfortunately, I don't think i can get anymore OTA updates but after the 7MB one i don't think i want to.
Long story short i think you should be able to go into recovery mode do a factory reset and it should be OK.

ODIN voids warranty?
I have the same issue after receiving 7MB OTA update. I am unable to go into recovery mode(same green robot and wire mesh etc...), so i am going to use ODIN method... but will flashing stock ROM using ODIN void my warranty?? I am not rooted.
Thanks.

Thanks.... but this is my aunt's phone, so rooting is not an option. I use HTC Hero... and we have RUU which we run on the PC and everything is restored to stock.... it removes root if you have it and also runs without root. Is there anything similar for samsung devices?
Also, now I am considering going for warranty repair... didnt want to do that at first as i have a really bad experience with HTC service centers... now lets see what samsung does..!!
Same problem here please find a fix!!

You don't need root to flash stock with PC Odin, and flashing any stock does not affect warranty. To use Odin you need phone in download mode (vol down, home and power until reboot into download)

Just flash it using the same os version you already have installed in my case I had the same problem with this little ota update and I've just flash it with the same ics version that was installed and my phone was back with all my stuff and rooted... once you finish doing the re flash you'll get an on screen message saying "Fail to update try using samsung kies on your computer" or something like that...
Thanks... but I went for warranty repair .. and I got it back in 2 hours..... unfortunately I lost all my data .. even on external partition. Now it is on ICS and still I have a notification for available update ... which I wont do.
Anyone has had success with that update?

Hi all. I bought a Note for a friend of mine in June here in Italy. It hadn't ICS but, as known, I told him that later on he would have seen a message stating that there were an update. I told him to download it through Wi-Fi, and then appling it while the phone was plugged in or the battery fully charged. Just to be clear: he has got a computer but he barely know how to turn it on, so I'm absolutely sure he never changed the ROM with a custom one.
Yesterday he downloaded (I suppose 4.0.4 ... or 4.0.3: I don't know what is available here in Italy) and applied it but the phone, but then the phone never turned on again. If I turn it on, I can see the boot screen (Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000) forever ... I tried to enter into recovery: I verified it still has 3e so, as I suppose, nothing was changed. I tried to wipe data/factory reset but nothing changed.
How's this possible? There something I could try before returning it to Samsung? Thank you in advance.

I'm quite sure it has never been rooted, my friend said so and I think he couldn't be able to root it ...
I can't be 100% sure since I don't know if another friend of him putted his hands on it ...
Anyway, there's no yellow triangle on boot, this could let me sure that it has never been rooted?
Otherwise, since the a3 recovery is working, could I put a stock ICS on the SD card and apply the update without void warranty? TY.

I Hi am wondering if you could help with my Galaxy Note 8
I am able to install the firmware using ODIN without any errors on download mode but after ODIN is finished the phone turns off and does not boot.
I have taken the phone to a repair shop as well and they have confirmed that there is no hardware issues,
My model number is SM-950F , basically stuck on download mode
No luck turning the phone on recovery mode only can use download mode and i have tried the same files with the Nand erase all, the same thing .. Odin installs all the files without any errors but does not boot up after installation is finished.
The service shop said they checked components on the motherboard and there is no damage or no IC has been damaged.
What do you suggest i do next?
