hey guys
my sister was attempting to flash a jelly bean rom on her galaxy note which was running a stock ICS rom at the time and it froze during the process it froze.
it now shows a yellow triangle and refuses to boot.
i attempted booting into recovery and flashing a new rom.
i tried to do a full wipe first, but the phone freezes. i booted into recovery mode again and cleared the cache. however when i tried to wipe the davlik cache, i got an error message but it proceeded anyway.
when i try to go ahead and flash the new rom it fails.
i suspect the internal memory is corrupt. what should I do?

You have bricked the phone. Read about the emmc brick bug and wiping the phone on stock ICS.

You might be able to repartition the device with Odin, you will have to wait for a more experienced member of XDA though, I don't know all the steps to repartition the device andI wouldn't like to get your Note in worse condition. But even after repartitioning you will only be able to run slim ROM's - such as slim bean.

Thanks for the help. I'll try repartitioning. I don't know how so I'll google it. But even stock roms wouldn't run? and what's a slim rom?
Basically a very lightweight ROM. Slim Bean is only about 95MB + 25MB for the google apps which you have to flash too.
Here is a link to the ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060391
You might also be able to run slim versions of TouchWiz (that is the what you get from Samsung). SlimWizz is about 187MB but that will probably be too much.
That may be a softbrick "only". Are you able to get into Download mode? (Volume Down + Home + Power button) If so, you'll be able to flash an official ROM with PC Odin.
Out of curiosity, what procedure did you follow to flash your Jelly Bean ROM? Directly from the stock ICS recovery?

sorry for the late reply. i do not know how my sister tried to flash the jelly bean rom. there have been some interesting developments. i obtained a kernel which has enabled me to boot into recovery mode. the problem now is that the note recognises my internal sd as an external sd and vice versa! any help?

I guess you have flashed the Speedmod kernel/recovery. Then internal (emmc) and external (micro SDcard) are swapped (that's "normal"). So formatting emmc will format the external SD card and formatting external sd-card will format the internal storage. You just need to be aware of this (if you fear you might lose your data in your SD card, simply remove it from the phone before wiping).
Do a full wipe and then follow the procedure detailed in the thread of the ROM you want to flash. Or if you don't know what to do, just get into Download mode as I explained above and flash an official TouchWiz ROM through Odin PC (you can check Dr Ketan's thread here: everything is nicely detailed. Don't forget to hit the Thanks button on his first post as he's really helpful with people).

That sucks. It seems you've been a victim of the emmc_CAP_ERASE bug. It's a shame you don't remember how you came to this. Anyway, one of the best solutions in this situation is to send your Note to the service center. The problem here is you have that yellow triangle which will void your warranty (if you still have one). Unless someone has a better idea, I think you have 3 possibilities:
1) Use the PIT file method. That will partition your internal storage card. Don't hesitate to ask questions in the thread if you need. You'll find people to help you.
2) Use a JIG USB key to remove the triangle before sending your device to the service center for repair. You'll find one for a few euros on eBay.
3) Try the JTAG.
To be honest, I haven't tried any of these methods as I've always been careful when flashing stuff. Good luck!

I tried this and it worked! I repartitioned the internal memory and flashed a custom rom. I'm now running Cyanogenmod 10.1.
HOWEVER, the phone freezes randomly and sometimes would even be unable to boot into recovery mode so i have to start the whole process again. Any thoughts

Well it did happens to me before. But after some reading and proper ways on wiping and flashing it works.. :good:
Update 1: I also formated /system
Hi, and if you're reading past the title, thanks anyway.
A friend of mine came with the request to flash a CM that runs a JB 4.2.2, as he was tired of his Note running ICS 4.0.4 ever since he saw my Nexus 4's CM10.1. I did warn him that it is potentially dangerous, but as I do consider myself a non-technical power user in terms of computers, and flashing my Nexus 4 seemed like a breeze, I agreed that I will do my best. This post is a bit longer than one would like, but I want to cover all points, since I feel personally responsible for bricking his phone (neither of us is particularly rich, so it's a big deal).
The first thing I did is root the phone with the ExynosAbuse trick, but upon reading CM's instructions on flashing their ROM, it advised that rooting the Note is neither necessary nor recommended. Upon seeing that, I simply unrooted the phone and deleted the app.
Next, I installed the Heimdall Suite 1.3.1 for Windows upon reading that 1.3.2. is potentially unsafe, used heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot to flash hardcore's CWM speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-15-Odin, and not the one that is linked in CM's guide, since the link was dead, regardless I thought I've got the correct kernel and went for it. From this point onward, the boot Note logo had this yellow triangle on:
I then downloaded the latest CM Nightly - cm-10.1-20130409-NIGHTLY-n7000 and put it on the SD card manually vie the PC explorer and then booted into recovery and unzipped it, the installation went fine, the Note was officially running the latest CM10.1 (as required by the guide, I wiped data/factory reset in CWM)
And this is when things started getting ugly.
Everything ran perfect, but for some reason the new ROM couldn't see the internal SD card that held everything (I wanted to put gapps, having forgotten to intially unzip them with the ROM flashing). Nothing made it work, the phone was no longer accessible via the PC, in MTP mode it didn't show on my desktop, and showed as empty on my laptop. Camera mode worked on both computers. USB Storage only worked every now and then with no clear pattern, but both partitions that I could see were greyed out on both my laptop and desktop and I couldn't access them. I Google'd and saw that a lot of people had reported that the latest CM nightly is causing this problem, and to revert to an older ROM. I next chose the stable cm-9.1.0-n7000.zip. I ended up with a 4.0.4 CMod, but I still couldn't see the internal SD card and then decided to try the even older cm-9.0.0-n7000.zip - same thing.
This was already more than 3 hours into the process and I was going crazy so I supposed my next move was kind of retarded in hindsight - I loosely remember reading something about having to format the partitions, and mount/unmount in CWM didn't bring back any results, and CWM kept giving back errors including /emmc/ so I went into CWM and formatted the eMMC thinking that will solve the problem.
The phone is now displaying a battery, but it's stuck on loading even though it's been charging for a few hours now and must be at 100%. Both Download Mode and Recovery Mode are available, and I can flash things via DL Mode. CWM Works too, but for some reason it got reverted back to 5.8.x instead of the recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-n7000. This is the error I get when trying to flash a ROM now: (Status 7).
I decided to not go any further and instead ask for help and see if anyone was feeling like extending a hand. I know it was retarded to wipe the eMMC before consulting guides, but the amount of information is quite frankly intimidating and it made it near impossible for me to know exactly what I was supposed to do. The phone is still under warranty by his Carrier, but we do not have any Samsung services around where we live. I could tell him to go ahead and service it in, but won't the counter give away that the phone has been messed with and void his warranty?
Any help is appreciated!
P.S. being a new user, I am not allowed to post external links, as such the pictures I snapped can't be linked :/

Or else, simply download a GB ROM, flash it using PC Odin and do wipe in stock android recovery. It will give you bootloop unless you wipe.

Update 1: Mounting as USB in Recovery gives the familiar USB Connected Windows sound, but I do not see the device in my explorer for some reason?
Update 2: PC Odin does not appear to recognize the device -- the ID:COM row remains unchanged and does not turn yellow? Moreover, Win 7 claims the devices has malfunctioned and does not recognize it whilst it's stuck on the battery load image. If I go to Download/Recovery mode, Windows starts recognizing it, but seldom shows SAMSUNG_Android and sometimes Gadget Serial?!
I will attempt your (2nd) steps now. I decided to download AllianceROM_JB_N7000XXLSZ-v3 MD5 e65d777f7a519ed71304b7dc73d9eed5.zip and the Kernel_CM10.1_Official_20130328_n7000_N8Mali.zip kernel. Should I instead pair this Kernel with the CM10.1 ROM or it doesn't matter I suppose?

Can I use my e-Reader to put the files on the ext. SD?

Try flashing alliance if you can. Ignore the guide. App is necessary if you want to customize the installation.
Also, I wouldn't suggest using such heavy ROMs in order to get out of a problem. Use something like SlimBean (in the original development section). It is just 87mb and is perfectly safe.
P.S.:Have you tried flashing a GB ROM via PC Odin ?

Hi all.
I am currently running ripper rom v13 with CWM and I wish to COMPLETELY wipe the contents of my Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE back to bare minimum without damaging partitions that are delicate.
I have tried performing a factory reset under SETTINGS. This left files/folders/photographs when browsing the phone.
I have performed a wipe via CWM, deleted data, system, davlik and cache partitions. This left files and folders as above.
After wiping the phone via the two methods above, I flashed ripper rom v13 rom and after booting I ran through the setup options (choose wireless etc), yet I still have folders remaining relating to OLD apps that I have removed or no longer need.
How can this be?
I have discovered there is a MegaWipe zip but this is not compatible with the 19305T - are there alternatives that I have missed?
Is this something to do with the internal SD card? Have I not wiped this? HELP!

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply. If I boot to download mode and flash stock rom, how do I do this? I've never performed this before. Do I have to flash stock rom? Can't I pick the ripper rom v13 again if I place it in ext sd card?
Sorry for so many questions!
There is a Mod called "Make Lite Rom" in the Update Me>Add/Remove Applications app that comes with the Ripper ROM. Not too sure if you want this.
Alternatively, there are other ROMs which are stock Android Based (I have tried Sentinel for a few hours).

Hi JJE,
I did as you said, I flashed the stock ROM using Odin and then went through the procedure of installing CWM and rooting.
I am now back into the Telstra stock ROM and all works fine, yet there are still remains of old apps in the phone??? I can see a friendcaster folder
and GO folders...yet before I flashed the stock ROM I did a full wipe.
I downloaded the stock ROM from Sammobile - Could it be that I need a full wipe ROM instead?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hello there,
I've got a problem after installing the custom Rom alliance v2.3
I came from ripper Rom v20 which is based on Android 4.1.2 and everything was fine there.
Yesterday I installed alliance. I made it with the instruction guide in the alliance thread. That means I downloaded Rom customizer and twrp.
I wanted to use Rom customizer but when I pushed flash then I was gone to recovery mode. Then I did it directly with twrp and alliance was installed.
But now I have two directories for the intern storage. I think one from 4.1.2 and one for 4.3.
What can I do now to solve this problem?
My idea was to wipe the s3 lte completely. A complete system wipe and a factory reset. Should I do a boot format too? After the OS is gone and boot ist formatted can I flash the alliance Rom to my phone? With PC or directly on the phone, if possible? So that nothing from any old versions is left on the phone and a fresh alliance can be installed.
Sorry for my bad English. My school English is ten 8 years ago.
Thanks in advance
In recovery mounts and storage format system sdcard data and cache .
Phone is now blank boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .
Or from ext sdcard flash custom rom .
Thank you.
I will try it today.
Is it normal that when you go from 4.1.2 to 4.3 that user data is left on the phone but can't be reached through a Explorer? When I start in cwm and click flash from SD card I can choose my new storage and the old storage from before the update. When I start normally then I see only the best storage, doesn't matter which path I click. So now I . can't delete everything left from before the update.
Will this be gone after formatting data and SD card with cwm?
I thought with Odin you can only flash .tar files and no .zip files like alliance? What have I to do to get this working?

do you have cwm installed? if so you could boot into that and in the advanced menu there's an option called mount usb storage. just make sure your phone is plugged into your computer boot into cwm and then advanced/mount usb storage, then open my computer and your external drive should so up also your internal I believe, so you could transfer your new rom and gapps to a new location of your choice.. though i'm not sure how you'd would do this on odin or other recovery software.
I actually had philz touch cwm installed, but I resolved the problem by flashing back to stock with odin in recovery mode... turns out this device just doesnt read external sd from recovery. adb push didnt work, sideload didnt work..lol . But good ole odin saved my butt again

i have the t599 using it now. got twrp from vanir rom after getting cwm and root. then flashed rom over. been messing with both vanir and carbon. but anyways i can flash from sdcard and extsd. only issue i have at the moment with new roms. after installing 2 games i have 0 freespace on /data. then again i dont use my phone much and just too lazy to find a workaround atm.
also everything ya need to know for the t599 is here as far as recoveries, custom roms, etc
