Hello, 2 make a long story short, I wipe data in cwm5 while on "CF-LPY KERNEL" on ICS(OFFICIAL RELEASE) . And now I can't flash stock rom from both ics & gingerbread. Keep getting stuck @ FACTORYFS.IMG in odin. And I can't access cwm5 anymore and whenever I turn my phone back on it reads " FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AND ISSUE, PLEASE GO TO RECOVERY IN KIES & AND TRY AGAIN". And kies is not recognizing my device any insight on this particular issue will help and be greatly appreciated, and one more thing, will a jtag service be beneficial in my situation or I have no choice but to get a new motherboard for my device? And where exactly can I purchase one being that I'm in the united states with no warranty
You can try to flash with pc odin 1.85 a GB rom with .pit file
Whats the function of this pit file?

I think you are on "superbrick" member .
Just like me a couple days ago. SSC is your solution ... I think.

Did you have a warranty? And where did u go?
If any of you with this brick can still flash kernels, try to flash the LPF CF-Root Kernel with CWM included. Then boot into CWM and within the "mounts and storage" menu, try to run the options "mount /system" and "mount /data". If i for myself try these two mounts, CWM tells me that it cannot find these two folders ("/system" and "/data").
btw: you can go back to original kernel by using the official method explained here
So in this case as some people here mentioned repartitioning within eMMC would manage getting around the bad areas/sectors within the chip by rearranging the partitions using ADB / ADB SHELL, i for myself cannot use ADB SHELL. What i definitely can do is connecting my Galaxy Note to the PC and also get a connection. But as soon as i try ADB SHELL, also ADB tells me something like "/system/bin/sh" not found.
Herk718, the problems you mention in your post are the exact same problems I had...and a lot more "members". I think I've tried every possible "solution" up until today, but without any luck. When it's up to me you can forget those posts advising you to flash this or flash that, it just won't work. Every PC Odin flash will stop at factoryfs.img (pit files won't work either)
As you actually said, we have to wait for a fix specific for this problem or bring you note to a SSC.

Your phone isnt rooted, so you getting this error, try flashing a pre-rooted kernel, i am not sure if it will root a bricked phone or not... no harm in trying : )
Edit: did you flash the kernel provided in forest's guide here post 12?
Flash that kernel, get into recovery mode, connect via adb, repartition, flash gb rom, flash angelom kernel to reset binary count, flash your rom's stock kernel again and claim warranty.
Herk try forest's guide, its got link to hg42's thread about the custom pit method.
simple way, get the firmware u want (preferably the oldset GB version) and download the pit files from this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
then load the pit file with different regains ( 1024000 and 2560000kb worked with my note) and be sure u load 16 or 32gb accordingly.
same time load the firmware in pda , select re-partition option in odin and procceed.... start
good luck....
sometimes even u are sucessfull, the note will be stuck at a boot loop, wat i did was a factory reset at cwm recovery , do it at ur risk......(so its better to use GB firmware)

Hi,
I came from an LG 2x, so I thought rooting my device in order to have some extra authorizations was no big deal. I first tried with pc software Unlockroot, but it failed in the process.
Being my GB 236 Note quite dirty I wanted to do some extra backup and cleanup. So I googled and stopped at rootyourgalaxynote.com, I tried the first ROOT method, not working, I tried the second method with pc ODIN 3.04 and abyss kernel 42, ODIN says it worked, note reboots but it stops at Samsung galaxy Note Gt-N7000 with yellow triangle. shocked, I didnt really expect that! After reading a little bit else, I went to sammobile downloaded italian gb 236 stock (the version I had befor kernel flashing) and tried to flash with PC Odin. It Failed. Device still gets in download mode. But now I'm seriously worried. What can I do?
[UPDATE]: I tried using Odin 1.85 and the same gb 236 stock rom but it stops half the factoryfs.img flashing...please explain me what's happening. I don't really want to bring it in assistance and lose my warranty

First you should t have flash abyss through odin since now you are not rooted and do t have the warranty too, the counter of flashes increased to 1 (look at the download mode small text), for rooting you can use chainfire's tool (in the cf-root kernel thread look for it in devolepment section) next get a stock rooted kernel and flash using the tool (read instructions).
For now use pc odin 1.87 and get a firmware 2.3.6 use the pc odin select the file on PDA and flash it, make sure phone is charged 100% and press start, if it doesn't work then uninstall drivers, reboot machine, reinstall them and kill kies process if present in task manager and then goto download mode connect USB and open pc odin wait for the port to be ready aka green and select file then start.... you should be fine its a soft brick afterall.

Yeah I know atm I don't have system nor root nor warranty.
I tried odin 1.87 with the stock rom from sammobile but at one point or another is it cache.img or factoryfs.img, it fails (I also uninstalled kies and drivers and reinstalled them, i also tried installing only drivers, for at&at note, but it doesn't let me). I'm gonna download another stock rom, I just hope in some way I soon solve the thing, given that I also don't know how much charge is left and if the phone still gets charged. it just displays an idle circle near an empty battery when connected to pc or A\C cable.

When connected to charger make sure phone is off the battery meter will show as soon as you connect, case it doesnt leave it for like 3 hours is fine... next about that ROM redownload. The package cleanup you temp directories in PC and try again if still goto recovery abyss I guess? Wipe everything and use the mount option and format partitions I would recommed you to have repartition but I dont have the file you can look for ot in forum its. PIT file download fireup odin select it in PIT section and see if repartitioning is shocked, of so select firmware as PDA and flash again.

Thx for your prompt answer, but I really didn't catch this part, if it still fails I must go in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache?I don't have CWM installed as rooting was the first flashing I tried on NOTE, so I don't have recovery installed. Since it stopped in the middle of flashing factoryfs.img, my Note is now displaying sth like 'updrading went wrong, try recovery mode in Kies': can it help in anyway? The PIT file and procedure are the same that are used for the EMMC bug?

Hi REVERSIN,
Thx. I was starting to fear it could be sth more than a soft brick. Can the initial use of unlockroot have caused anything (at least a week ago, Note still working after that)?
Sorry but I really can't understand what procedure should I follow since these initial attempts at flashing stocks failed. Should I try to flash CWM? What is the ISS root section (is it in the forum)? Where can i do a normal recovery wipe from? CWM I guess..
THX for your help

If you have the stock recovery, restore default wipes everything.
If you have stock re every and want CWM temporary just to wipe goto n7000 devolepment and check how to root by dr.ketan and get files there
If you have CWM then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.... and try. Old download another firmware like kk5.... something else not the new LC1 LX1 releases.... (Latest GB) get an old one to get root easly

So i found out about the ICS kernels issue a little bit too late :crying:
and now the /system and /data partitions can't be mounted nor formatted...so it's pretty much safe to say they are corrupt.
My question is: do service centers have the tools to completely restore the lost memory ? or should i proceed with searching for some workarounds via odin?
I am out of my warranty but willing to pay if the service center is caoable of completely fixing the issue WITHOUT replacing the motherboard?
Any help is much appreciated.

Now after seven days of this post..i have tried a zillion solutions and the one that actually worked is pit file and instructions by forest 1971 on the 15th comment
But sadly i lost 3 Gigabytes of my memory after this
What do you mean you are out of warranty
If your flash counter is increased,you can reset it
And i dont think it can be fixed without motherboard replacement
@OP
question to you: are you still able to work your way to download mode /recovery mode? you say "workarounds with ODIN" <--- just what exactly do you mean by that?
Should do some partition scan to make sure it is partition damage. Given your wipe using ics and the symptoms it is most likely the case of emmc brick. No way to fix it yet. Only two solutions, repartition workaround or change mobo.

Nope i don't think it's the emmc partition because it can be mounted so i don't think it's damaged. Are you sure the service center can't do more than changing the mobo?

I could get to download mode and recovery mode then i tried to repartition using odin -a pit file-but it froze during the flashing process...so i lost access to recovery mode but not download.
workarounds with Odin means repartitioning my internal memory to have another /data & /system instead of the damaged ones

Nope that's not what i mean -my flash counter is still 0- it's just that i bought my phone from another country and the warranty is only valid in that country bu not here...so i am without warranty right now...and it sucks ALOT
try to see first if you can flash one of the files from the link- http://www.xda-developers.com/android/partition-scanner-helps-your-emmc-bricked-devices/ to scan your partition. See to it if you have or don't have one of those damn brick blocks inside your phone.

The term emmc brick just refer to brick cause by the buggy kernel which cause damage to some partition such as system or data or usb storage (that is part of the emmc).
if you can get to recovery then try to use the scanner from hg42 to identify area of damage, as suggested by Cleo. Maybe flash a custom kernel could help to get into recovery again.
Also, it seemed you have used a custom pit file could you give more detail which one you have used?
So i took my phone to service center and they told me the only thing they can di is changing the Mother board.
I took my phone home for further debugging and tried that memory scanner by hg42 only to find that i need the recovery mode to perform that scan
My recovery mode was lost due to an incomplete bootloader flashing
i falshed many kernels and flashed the same bootloader again but nothing seems to work
Any suggestions for good bootloaders? remember my phone is an ICS GT-N7000

If you really think there is a problem with wrong bootloader, then can try to flash the correct one from Dr.Ketan's toolbox below. There are both gb and ics version. I think using gb bootloader is ok.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801341
Then download and flash a kernel in .tar format using PC odin.
For ICS: flash hydracore standard kernel from link below:

After further reading in similar posts i am starting to think the bootloader isn't the problem....but the problem is i can't think of any other reason. It's definitely not the rom since there is not even a system partition right now and it isn't the kernel because i tried many (speedmod, franco...) and got no response. Any ideas?
Any way, I'll give it a shot using these links..hope it works

Well, the problem wasn't the boot loader after all
Tried all that and didn't work. I still can't access recovery mode on my device.
I tried usb debugging but there seems to be something wrong with the "adb shell" command. Whenever i write it it shoes a black screen on cmd..when i try to write something it's written without '#' or '$' in the beginning and when i press Enter the line i wrote is rewrote again and that's it. What does this mean?
Right now i need any help available to get either recovery mode or adb to work
thanks in advance
It seems you have tried to connect adb while the phone is in download mode, so it will not work. Adb requires the phone in recovery mode, which is still the problem so far.
I would try to flash the original pit file from dr.ketan toolbox, together with one of the above kernel again. see how it goes.

Nope..no effect
I tried it once with <repartition> ticked and another without it being ticked
I think you should know too that when i type "adb devices" the result is : "<big number> recovery". I don't know if this means i have recovery or it's just nonsense.

This PIT will leave the former system and data partition unused. after flash, try to get into recovery and wipe and try to boot normally. see how it goes.
Note: to make sure to avoid unsafe ICS kernel, should always use gb rom for reviving the phone and only upgrade to ics when it is working.

Thanks a billion for your patience forest1971
So is there anything not allowed after this solution? like rerooting, flashing via odin, flashing via cwm or downgrading to Android 2.3?
and btw just to understand more...why did you specifically give me this pit file? this is from hg42's collection, right? there are a lot of files in this collection and one should be chosen based on the result of the memory scanners, right? How did you know that's the one for me?

The best way is using PC odin to flash pre-rooted gb rom from dr.ketan:
http://d-h.st/HJM
Or you can flash other stock gb rom which is suitable for your country from Dr ketan' thread as well (post 2)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Using gb rom with a custom kernel such as FM or Abyssnote seem to work well, smooth and no problem. Or you can use some custom gb rom such as rocket v22 or other gb custom rom from link below:

waiting for your answer...
i unpluged my phone now and i am trying a custom pit file (N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914--patched--brick-between-281-and-3770-MB--FACTORYFS-moved-by-3328-MiB.pit) after leaving my phone for up to 2 hours and with no progress using N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914-stock.pit
file, hope i can revive my friend phone and please try to point me for any solution i can try.
Check your connection. Usually if bricked the process will start ok but halt at factory.fs. Try with a different usb cable, make sure it's in a mobo usb port not front one.
Pit files should be a last resort. I don't think it's bricked personally. Does it power on at all?

What is the outcome of flashing the "N7000_16GB_Q1_20110914--patched--brick-between-281-and-3770-MB--FACTORYFS-moved-by-3328-MiB.pit" as you mentioned above?
If you can also get into recovery, then better try to use hg42 partition scanner first, to see if and where the damage is in the emmc.

If that long, then that pit doesn't seem to work.
I would try to flash a custom kernel such as hydracore or some other kernel that are available in .tar format. Then see if it help the phone get into recovery.
If that does not work, then just need to try other pit file from hg42 thread which move factoryfs by bigger number until it work. This is not a good strategy but it seems to be the only way.

This is a gb kernel that can be flashed via odin to see if recovery works.

i got stuck on NAND write start agine, i think its time to try your other strategy, should i go with pit file that has factoryfs moved by the largest number first or the one with the less number?

I would try the first way of flash a kernel since it does not take much time.
Anyway, if want to try second strategy should move up by 500 mb or 1 gb each time.
I saw some people reported problem after flashing a pit with big number them move back to flash a pit with small number so should try to avoid that situattion.
The next pit I would choose it the one move fatoryfs by 4608mib for example.

thank you for your replies, i will try to try them as you mentioned above and by the way and will wait 15-20 minutes in each operation, i already tried the last version of hydracore but had no success, one last thing, if none of them worked (hope not), is there any other possible way to revive from the brick(other than replacing the motherboard or replacing the phone from samsung)?
bricked or not
same problem here, was on stock ics rooted for quite sometime, today decided to flash alliance rom v2.1, booted to cwm recovery, did a full wipe and after that i just hated myself. phone didnt boot into recovery and odin gets stucked at factoryfs, tried to flash with pit file too but no result same stuck in problem. then i flashed different kernel fm note kernel through odin which was a success, got my recovery back but unfortunately the only rom i have on internal sd was alliance rom which doesnt install, either says emmc error alliance rom or stucks at extracting system. so again flashed abyss kernel and did a full wipe again but odin still does not go beyond factory fs and i am trying to flash ics rom again. any idea what i should do now as i can flash a kernel and go into recovery. help will be appreciated. meanwhile downloading gb rom to check as i read in other posts it works tough not sure.

it is good as far as you can access cwm recovery, try to get any external sd, download a rom and put it on the external sd using other phone
and flash it using cwm and dont forget your safe kernel , and can you tell me please what kernel you've used?

Once get recovery it is best to try to scan partition to identify where the damage is. You can you adb method in my manual repartition guide or the scanner from hg42 which is even better.

Should try the kernel I sent and also the fm kernel suggested in the post above. Once having recovery it is much easier and there are more options. Otherwise, custom pit is the last resort before mobo replacement.

Hi there, sounds like a bad flash or bad download. Firstly remove your external micro SD card and connect it to a PC / Laptop (standard SD adaptor or Card Reader). Download a "default" ROM and kernel and KEEP them on the card (you never know when you need to go back to them). I use Abyss 4.2 kernel and Chrack ROM personally. I always have the jBroid Kernel Cleaner saved also). Replace the micro SD card.
If you can get into Recovery, flash the jBroid script cleaner. Now flash Abyss 4.2 kernel (GB safe kernel) and reboot into Recovery again. Now flash Chrack Rom. I've had a number of bad flashes and these 3 zips have always pulled me out a hole.
Hope this helps. Hit Thanks if it did.

i've already mentioned that it has no recovery mode, and yes, i always have abyssnote kernel in my ex-sd also in my friend's phone, the thing is that he don't know about the emmc bug and he did a restore on a none safe kernel and thats how he bricked his phone
what i've done so far is trying the pit file way but had no luck, now the thing is that the binary counter is 5 and i can't go to have a m/b replacement for free as the warranty is voided, is there any way to reset the counter or to hardbrick the phone except for the jig method?
Hello all,
I recieved a Galaxy Note for repair from a friend of mine. She says that the phone was working normally until it rebooted and then didnt get past the first Samsung Galaxy Note Logo.....she took it to samsung who said it was a faulty motherboard (hint: possible eMMC brick, though in India, thats their go-to response). The phone now shows a firmware upgrade failed sign (PHONE----------!-----------PC) telling me to plug it into Kies, which doesnt recognize it. It doesnt go into recovery mode at all but goes into download mode. I opened odin and flashed a stock gb rom with pit file(repartition ticked). The phone gets stuck at Set Partition. Have tried different Odins, different USB Cables, ticking diff. options in odin and god knows what else. How do i get this phone up and running? Is it the emmc brick bug? I think it is...
did you kill kies processes before using odin?
Yup. Done already....no change
if it gets stuck at repartition process, then its more than an eMMC brickbug. How its the phone right now?, can you go to recovery?. The best you can do: flash a safe kernel and then a cyannogenmod (or AOSP) rom, if it boots (probably you will get a lot of force closes), try to flash a jelly bean stock rom (without repartition) and then repartition it.
If still not work, the last option its jTag (riff box), it will repartition the whole phone.
Sorry my bad english
Hmmm, I'm not sure about that last part, but if I do it without repartition, it gets stuck at nand write of cache. Right now, it either goes into upgrade failed connect to kies sign or into download mode, both of which I'm guessing are the same
try uninstall and reInstall you samsung usb driver...

and try use other pc odin version..
try flash without repartition.
Checked. Same issue

Odin stuck on?..
lets try flash kernel using pc odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
Odin is stuck on this screen. Phone is in download mode. Cannot go into recovery.
You might need a usb jtag thing.maybe that will help in getting ur phone 8dentifiedby odin

It is recognized by Odin, it just cant flash anything. One thing though, odin 3.07 atleast has the courtesy to tell me that it failed on set partition, odin 1.85 gets stuck at set partition.
what are you trying to do? you are only selecting the PIT file and nothing else in Odin. use the Original PIT not modified one with the rom file in PDA .
Nothing more is supposed to happen if only PIT file is added to odin. Donot use a custom PIT file till its confirmed a EMMC corruption.. use the original PIT file from Dr Ketans Guide in Original Dev Section
