[Q] Galaxy note N7000 32G bricked ? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I Purchased on Ebay a 32G Galaxy note N7000
It received it with Android 4.03, but I don't know the history of this device...
I carefully read all the posts about bricked phones.
So I decided to flash my phone using an original GB stock rom which is supposed to be safe.
I directly flashed it without wiping anything before... I didn't even enter in recovery mode
But the flash operation blocks in odin at factoryfs.img... and now, the phone can only enter download mode (not recovery).
Edit 1 : I just tried exactly the same operations with another PC.. and it works !
I presume now that my phone is not bricked...
Edit 2 : the flashing operation in "edit1" succeded, but when I reboot the phone, I have error messages so I can't initialise the phone...
Edit 3 : I tried to flash again with another GB rom, and I'm again blocked in odin at factoryfs.img. Idem with the Rom which worked one time..
I noticed a stange thing before flashing : the phone had only 24G memory when I received it : is it the clue that it has been repartitionned before I bought it, avoiding detroyed parts of its memory ?
Could someone help me to know what to do now..
Is my phone bricked or am I doing something wrong while flashing?
Are there special roms to use with 32G versions ?
One more thing : I uninstalled kies and I stopped my avast but I've the same problem.
Thank you.

Reboot the note and flash Gb again. If successful, boot into recovery mode and wipe data.

I rebooted and tried to flash with a GB rom several times unsuccessfully.
Each time, I'm blocked at factoryfs.img in ODIN....

That's the strong indicator for a bricked device!
And with your information that from 32 only 24 GB were available it seems to be clear that the previous owner used the repartition workaround (see hg42's thread) to revive it.
And after that selling it on ebay!
You should get in contact with the seller and try to get your money back. If he didn't hint in his selling information then you should think about the normal ebay "fraud help desks" (I never used them, so I do not know how this works).

Thank you for your first answer, but something is always strange in my situation : the flashing operation worked once : odin succeded up to the end of the flash operation. I only got problems after reboot. It shouldn't happen if parts of my memory are broken... or there is something I don't understand...
After that, if I decide to try to revive my note, are there special things to do for a 32G version (special rom, special pit file) ?

Flash the abyss kernel u can get from rootgalaxynote.com when in download mode, them youll habe cwm recovery and flash amy zipped rom from there. Goodluck

For flashing Stock ROM use PC Odin. Not CWM..
try flashing with odin only the PIT file with repartition ticked
then reset file on odin
now factory setting shuld flashing o.k
post resaults
thanks for the reply, ive tried to flash the PIT file "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4" with & without checking the re-partition, after that the same thing when I try to flash the stock ROM (PC Odin) : fails to write factoryfs.img.
Just to make things clear when I flash a stock rom i load it in BOOTLOADER anwhen i flash the kernel only i load it in PDA
Please before flashing any ROM read all instruction mentioned in thread.
And if you flashing via PC Odin, Select .md5 file in PDA Tab. not in boot loader.
You shouldnt be putting anything in bootloader ideally....
Try and get a one file tar that you put into pda.

I tried the PDA ... same thing
I dont want to confuse u guys with me but i have a feeling that something is wrong
with the internal storage ?
Thanks All for trying to help
Succeeded
really thank u all for the help, as I was doubting in my last post about the internal memory, i think the problem was from the first PTT file "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit" but just know i was googlin on ptt files i found this file "Q1_20110914_16GB.pit" so after using this PTT with the re-partition checked i flashed the stock rom Successfully !!
Just to let you know how fool i was : my note counted 16 flashes :
still stuck in factoryfs.img
Hello.
I have Galaxy Note.
I used to have TeamRocket v1.5 installed and it would work ok.
I wanted to try a new OS so I tried to erase and wipe the data on the sd card. it took a long time so i thought it got stuck and i restarted my phone, since then I cannot use odin to install full roms.
what I am able to do is to install CF-root CWM5 kernel and after that to copy the AbyssNote v4.2 kernel zip and to install from that CWM. that will provide CWM version 5.8.1.5
I tried using Odin3 versions 1.87 and 1.85.
I tried installing on two different windows 7 computers.
i was able to install from these same computers these same roms before.
I tried install several versions of stock roms and the Chinese rom
examples:
N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_AUT
N7000XXLA3_N7000OXALA3_OXA
N7000XXLP1_N7000OXALP1_OXA
i tried installing versions that contain only the PDA
and versions with PDA,PHONE,CSC and UMS.
I tried using the Q1 pit file: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
I also tried to re-partition the SD card using CWM but everything provides the same results. whenever I try to install any rom it stuck at factoryfs.img
it seems like if i'll find a stock rom that can be installed with cwm it would work, but i didn't find anything like that so far.
so no matter what I do i get the same results.
please help!
thanks

Have u flashed Angelom's Kernel V1.1 or V1.2?? or TRR V1.6??
just to confirm :
-is it stuck on factoryfs ? or u mean when it reaches factoryfs just terminating and giving FAIL in Red ?
updates
Hello.
Odin3 v1.87 doesn't terminate on factory.fs it just doesn't show any progress
anymore when it reaches factoryfs.img
I tries installing Angelom's Kernel v1.1 (I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK) but with same results. here it tries to install factoryfs.img first (not starting with cache like the stock roms) but the results are the same. no progress from there.
regarding trr 1.6. I assume you meant team rocker group. The latest version of their Rom for galaxy note that i could find is 1.5. and the docs on the forum says that it should be installed on top 1.4 and it should be installed on top of a the ICS rom. i don't have anything installed so I don't think just unpacking this rom with CWM while having a clean hard drive would work. (i may be wrong)
gonna try it anyways.. so I installed teamrocket v1.4 zip from external sd card using cwm recovery (install zip), wiped the data and restart.
welp it just shows the boot logo with a yellow triangle and that's it. does not work.
I resolved the issue by sending my phone to the cellular company. They fix it and I didn't need to pay anything. I was able to properly root my phone. Thanks

Bricked
Mine if bricked. Nothing has worked. Question for you all. Bought this from a over seas company as I am in the United States. Was told that we would have to ship to Samsung in the UK. We went to the samsung.com/uk site and got the phone registered and it tells us to contact the service center. They will not accept the phone. We were honest with them and told them we would pay but after 5 calls between Samsung and Intercity the repair people they simply will not take the phone.
This is frustrating as I spent $750 bucks for a phone and can't even pay to get it fixed. I knew the risk of flashing but it's hard to believe it happened we've been doing it for yours. I'm not sure if my loyalty to Samsung will continue.

[Q] newbie - HELP PLS - bricked?

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?

You wipe using the CWM file in the Iss root section, and a normal recovery wipe would do too (aka restore defaults)

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

[SOLVED] G7000 Stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000"

Hello!
First of all I've searched all the posts about this problem.. and personally I can't fix it.
So here is what I've done to brick my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (I think that's called a non-usable device).
Installed few ROMs and finally after taking some decisions I've returned back on ICS 4.0.3 (Flashed with ODIN 1.85).
Restored EFS with kTool (because ClearNotev5 did something wrong with my phone.. and discovered after few hours that I can restore EFS).
Updated ICS 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 using WIFI (OTA I think it's called) and BANG after restart phone stucked at Bootscreen.
So from yesterday untill now I've restored my phone to factory settings few times(GB 2.3.5 & 2.3.6/ICS 4.0.4),repartitioned with .pit files for N7000 16GB,installed different custom/stock ROMs and nothing.
I've discovered few minutes ago while triyng to make a factory restore (GB 2.3.5) that my phone stucked at data.img... I've read about this and it is said that I must change my N7000 motherboard.. I have no warranty so please help.. and sorry for my bad english
Read many times about ota harbrick, i think its not advisable to use ota for upgrade. Sorry for your loss.
Flash gb in pc odin, if sucessfull and still stuck in logo go to CWMR and perform 3 wipes. This is all advise i can give you.
And try different gb rom.

I think you had already tried the recovery method from a bricked device. So if you still facing problems you have to change the MB.
OTA Brick or Soft Brick?
I still haven't fix it but here is what I want:
Can someone give me different versions of GB (I've tried only one with CSC,MODEM but this now stops at data.img..) :crying:
I have to make a repartition to my phone? Will that help?
And can someone guide me through a tutorial step by step on how to revive my phone from EMMC Bug..?
PS: When I try to wipe data in CWM (using Hydracore Kernel v2.0b STD) with ICS 4.0.4 (Stock) my N7000 stucks,same for installing CleaNotev5.0 (stucks at Extracting\System).. But what is curios is that, I can clear Dalvik Cache and Cache, I can install Kernels and run N7000 in DOWNLOAD/CWM or stock Restore mode.
Any solutions?Please help..

Just follow the step there.
I've experienced before, and revive it using this method. So far mine still work well, and no further error ever since.
You will loose certain GB on your internal storage. Which for me it's not a big deal. I'm kinda lazy to go to samsung repair center, unless my phone is totally dead.
Here is my step (follow at your own risk) :
1. You have to know first your N7000 is the 16GB or 32GB, and then you download the correct pit for your phone.
2. After you download, extract the zip file.
3. Since mine is the 16GB, I've picked this pit file to use (inside the zip) : Q1_20110914_16GB-patched-regain-0102400-kB.pit (the pit file will be vary depending on which sector your phone brick)
4. Put your phone on to download mode.
5. Open ODIN PC and connect your phone, and wait till ODIN say "Added" and you see that your phone has connected.
6. Put the patch pit file I choose, then put the samsung stock rom as the PDA (if you downloaded 1 file only for the stock ROM, if not, put properly for the PDA, Phone, and CSC).
7. Check ON the "repartition", "Auto-reboot", "F-reset time"
8. Click Start, and wait till the process has finished. Your phone should auto reboot by then.
9. My phone has recovered, and I lost 1GB internal storage.
One last thing, try not to do wipe on ICS, unless you are on a safe kernel like speedmod / GLNotecore.
For Hydracore (You may check with the developer), I haven't tested it yet for wiping. But for those speedmod and GLNotecore, is confirm safe kernel. I've tried these 2 for wiping.
PS : if you are not sure with my step on reviving with the pit file, I suggest you to read the link above from the OP for the pit revive method.
Good Luck !

No problem. Just pick any gb rom, one problem at a time, your problem now is how your phone can boot up.
If you want go to www.sammobile.com and pick your specific rom.
I've downloaded the COSMOTE GB ROM and I will flash it with PC ODIN.
After that I need as I was saying few posts ago how to identify which part of my internal storage is bricked..but a simplified method/guide please.. and sorry for my requests but believe me I'm kinda desperate..

Shouldn't be a problem. However, best to root current, then efs backup multiple locations. See dr ketans toolbox thread on how.
Your phones csc is also Romania? Best to stick with your phones csc and those country roms if you want to continue ota/kies updatability in the future Dial *#06# for emei and then *#272*yourimeihere# to find out 3 letter csc.

Your phones csc is also Romania? Best to stick with your phones csc and those country roms if you want to continue ota/kies updatability in the future Dial *#06# for emei and then *#272*yourimeihere# to find out 3 letter csc.

[SOLVED] [Q] Galaxy Note won't flash original firmware

Hello guys!
My friend gave his Galaxy Note for me to get a brick fix. He said that he flashed the German ICS STOCK ROM and wiped using CWM. He said that he entered in a bootloop. Then he tried to flash using ODIN, but it stopped at factoryfs, as known at the eMMC bug. In the bug, he disconnected the USB cable and he is seeing a message which says to connect to Kies and select recovery. But he said that didn't worked and Kies didn't recognized the phone. Even with ODIN, loaded with PIT and PDA, the phone wasn't able to receive factoryfs, the same file from the 1st error. I followed a lot of tutorials here on XDA and used the search to find a similar thread. He needs help, since recovery mode, charging mode and normal mode are blocked by the message. I need a ROM which contains the PDA, the CSC and the MODEM files. I already have the PIT, so I need those 3 files to try again.
--PHONE DETAILS--
Samsung Galaxy Note N7000
16GB Storage
LAST Firmware completelly flashed: XXLRQ (I think that is the firmware which you can't wipe)
ICS Stock
Thanks!
EDIT: I tried with another GB firmware and with an ICS firmware. Still NOT WORKING.
EDIT #2: The phone still have Download mode open!
BIGGEST EDIT:
All of the methods in this thread are NOT WORKING. Still stops at factoryfs and CWM says "Installation Aborted". SO, WHAT I CAN DO? He is desperated, I'm desperated. PLEASE ANSWER FAST !!

He did successfully bricked his devices.. If you are not able to enter into download mode you have a paperweight in your hands... If he has warranty try to get it replaced.. If he doesn't then try the pit file method on the general forum..
You don't need any 3 files.. It's the same or at least the effect its the same with 1 or 3 files

Well then your only option its the warranty or pay samsung either for a new phone or a mother board replacement...
That pit file method its only a partial solution to help you get your device partially working maybe a couple of months.. When the emmc bug happens it does damage the Emmc chip so the hardware its fried and there's no software that can repair it..
The pit method could work for someone but not for others.. Depends on the damage

Here I think you may find a solution for your problem.
If you think you need to flash the 3 files with odin try flashing an old GB ROM, you can find it here, some (NOT ALL) of the ROM in this post has PDA, CSC and PHONE part.
Good luck!

It's doesn't matter if it's 1 or 3 files.. The pit file just repartition the emmc in order to reacomodate the memory and so you can flash the rom.. Flashing separately phone csc and PDA won't make any difference..

Have you tryed to flash a GB ROM with three files?

This solution is based on a GB kernel. I'm in the same situation as Mr.Indigo, with the same ROM and the same problems. I need to use CM9 kernel to use with ICS, right? Or I can use GB kernel?

Yeah already told you.. Walk to the nearest samsung center and claim the warranty or pay for a replacement

unfortunately sound like a brick to me. failed flashing via pc odin and stuck at factoryfs has something to do with your root. so i heard.. the best way is to send it to SSC for repair while you still have the warranty

He didn't have warranty. I'm trying to flash any PIT which owns factoryfs. He said that fails to wipe into some minutes and I have 88 factoryfs PITs. So I have to flash ALL of them to know. BTW I can flash a kernel using ODIN!

[Q] Soft Bricked N7000

I was trying to install Ultimate_N7000_LSC_JB_4.1.2_v5.1 on non-rooted device.
After booting into Recovery and installing CWM, i tried Data wipe/Factory reset.
(Battery was 100%)
The screen switched of suddenly and now i am stuck.
Here are somethings i have tried:
1) Tried flashing N7000DDLRB_N7000ODDLR4_N7000DDLR1_HOME.tar.md5 using ODIN. Never goes beyond NAND flashing (Tried in Admin mode, with ODIN Mode)
2) Tried flashing cm-9.1.0-n7000 and had status 0 and status 7 error many times.
Most of the flashing methods mention : "wipe data/Factory reset". Whenever i do that, i get stuck in "Wiping Data... .Formatting /data"
I have tried "Fix permissions", it wont work.
I didnt take a ROM backup and now i really regret it.
Currently when i navigate using CWM i can see all my internal as well as external memory files. So, i guess my OS is gone and files are still there.
The Custom Rom Counter says: Yes (Count 4) in ODIN mode.
Can someone help ? Please i am desperate.
What rom you on before flashing?..GB or ICS?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
ICS 4.0.4
I had not done any Modifications, rooting to my N7000 before yesterday.
Would like to go back to Any ROM.
Unrooted ROM (ICS 4.0.4), Leaked JB Rom, CM9, CM10. Any ROM. Just want to get my phone up and running
What error do you get when flashing with Odin?
Does it stop at "factoryfs.img"?
How did you install CSM on your stock Rom ICS 4.0.4?
Your "soft bricked" sounds more like "super bricked" to me.. Did you use CWM.zip to wipe?
Tapatalking on my n7000
Yes. I used CWM.zip.
But now that my phone is not working, how do know what is the firmware version?
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656635)
Can you tell me the exact file names i should use
PDA: CODE_N7000xxxxx_CL627135_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.m d5
PHONE: MODEM_N7000xxxxx_REV_05_CL1067428.tar.md5
CSC: GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-Oxxxxx.tar.md5
What does xxxx stand for? I have the Serial No. of my phone. And have done normal OTA updates only.
Brought from flipkart in August (if it helps narrow down the xxxx)
Superbricked or soft, please help.
Just downloaded some CWM file (Sorry i searched a lot, i couldnt remember the source)
Here are the steps:
Flash it with Odin 1.85, (Click PDA, choose the file and press Start)
After this you will have Root on your phone.
Now you can go into CWM and flash the Rom.
1) Download Ultimate XXLSC Jelly Bean 4.1.2 custom ROM for Galaxy Note to the PC
2) Connect the device to PC using USB cable and transfer the downloaded ROM zip file to the phone's SD card
3) Unplug the USB cable from the phone and then turn it off
4) Enter into Recovery mode by switching on the phone while pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power buttons together
5) In CWM Recovery, perform a full data wipe
Here is where it suddenly stopped and the screen went blank. (I am double sure battery was 100%)
Thanks for the prompt replies
Yup..its a wrong way to flash costum rom on stock ics...
try flash stock rom using odin, if its stuck on "factoryfs.img".. I'm sure your super bricked your phone..

If you have warranty then claim it.. Super brick means that the emmc chip it's burned.. There's some methods to get it to partially work but you lose around 3Gb of memory and generally you can not use TW roms.. Or at least stock TW.. Not to mention the random reboots and freezes..
So most likely if you don't have warranty then use the pit file method or pay for a motherboard replacement..
Tapatalking on my n7000
Thanks for the suggestion.
I managed to flash 4.0.3 ROM and stock Kernel and it somehow worked. (did too many things)
Here's the current status: Running 4.1.2 (XXSLO, ZSLM5). Unrooted and stock ROM. (Updated from 4.0.3 to 4.1.2 in kies)
Everything is back. The phone runs good. But when i try installing any software, it will freeze. The apk/app installs eventually but after 2-3 reboots.
Can you tell me the issue?
I read it somewhere that the "Cache" partition is damaged.
Can someone please tell me any way to avoid freezes.
