Hi everybody, I searched everywhere for a solution but no luck
i love my note so much that if i couldnt fix it i think im gonna kill myself.
let me tell you the whole story, maybe you can revive my note again.
im a daily rom flasher, sometimes even 2 or 3 roms a day,
i wanted to flash ics stunner rom so i went into cwm recovery,flashed the zip file and wanted to format data\factory reset, but while the phone was formatting i accidently pressed the power button, the phone was stuck and didn't complete formatting, i took the battery out, put it back in and powered the phone, it was stuck at the bootscreen GTn7000 Galaxy Note.
I got into download mode and flashed a stock rom, but it was the same.
i downloaded and flashed other stock roms but it was stuck at the bootscreen.
then i wanted to flash a stock rom that came with a Pit file, i did everythig correctly, and Odin was stuck at the partition thing, for more than 15 minutes.
i unpluged the phone i pressed the power button, NOTHING!!
i officially bricked my phone which i worked so hard for months to get it.
i tried everything,even the jig thing, i couldn't buy so i had to make one.
maybe i did somethig wrong with the jig or maybe because i didnt solder it or the usb plug im using isnt working.
this may be relevant, i pluged the usb OTG in the phone and in the OTG was a bluetooth peice for computers, the piece had a light, and the light was ON.
Another thing that if i leave the battery in the phone for a while, the camera area in the back gets a little hot, my phone always did that meaning its still alive.
i may have written too much, forgive me but im really desperate.
Thanks in advance.
You probably end up going to Samsung. Pay €200 and get a new motherboard.
Good luck.

First thing donot flash Ics now untill you are craze about it.2nd donot use CWM as much as possible.Read this.
Ok to the problem now.Since you say it gets hot,it might be still alive.Remove the battery and insert it after 10 secs and insert the jig and after few secs press vol up button.Now connect the phone to computer and see if its detected if it does try flashing abyy's kernel.I dont know which kernel for sure.Somebody might help you.People were able to get into DL mode when there screen were not showing anything.
There are situations when your phone is working, but your screen is black.
Let's hope yours is one of those...Try this:
1. Don't flash Abyss. Download a stock GB Rom instead.
2. Charge your phone for a couple of hours. You need your battery for the
following steps.
3. After charging, take out your battery and wait 1 minute
4. Put it back in
5. Boot into Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) (you will see only black screen)
6. Count to 10
7. Press Volume Up
8. Count to 10
9. Start your PC Odin
10. Connect your phone to PC
11. Wait untill PC installs the necessary drivers
12. If all goes well, your PC Odin will flash the yellow light with COM info in it
13. Flash your stock GB Rom
If this doesn't work, you'll need to think of the ways of getting your phone JTagged or where to get a new motherboard.
Dude, if you have no way of repairing a bricked phone in your country then stay away from flashing custom ROMs!!!

Bro as u mentioned already that u flashed stock once...all root and cmw will be wiped... i would prefer going to samsung service center and tell them that u were updating your phone through kies and after the update completed ur phone stopped working... they will fix it for free... and act innocent
Edit::: dint see the other post where u mentioned that there is no samsung center at your place... in that case theres only one thing u can do... buy the motherboard and fix it urself.... sorry that ur beast is dead

Your phone is pretty much dead I'm afraid
Why didn't you bother to read stickies first?
It has been known for several weeks now that doing a wipe from CWM in a leaked recovery (I.e all ICS ROMs except cm9 official) will lead to a corrupted emmc drive ,thus a dead phone
And no ,you pressing the power button had nothing to do with it being stuck
The moment you hit wipe from ICS stunner's recovery your phone was dommed.
Anyway what's done is done ,now find an unofficial repair shop and replace your motherboard.
I hope this makes it clear ,and good luck to you.

OK, how much will it cost me ?
by the way i forgot to mention that before i bricked the note, it had a charging problem, saying voltage too high,charging stopped,and when the phone is turned off the battery icon keeps appearing and disapearing, could it be that the jig is not working because of that??
Try a different USB cable?

You're not going to like this: I had to send my phone back to Samsung to get that fixed. Basically the charging port was shorting out, happens when stuff gets inside it (dirt, moisture, etc, from what I read). You could try cleaning it, but for me the port didn't break, it just acted like it was charging when there was nothing plugged in. So the JIG will work if it's supposed to.

Just out of curiosity: Are you in the US and had to send your international Note somewhere? I am wondering how one can get a support for an International Note if you're in the US.
I don't mind sending it to another country, but which Samsung center will accept it?

I am wondering the same thing, mine got bricked about a week ago and I don't really know what to do with it
I would appreciate if anyone could share his knowledge in this matter. GNote doesn't show any signs of life except warming near camera when connected to the charger (to tell the truth it's warm even if it's not connected). Tried restarting, download mode etc. Nothing works. I'm waitng for the JIG I bought today but would like to know if this Omap Flash could save me or is it only for i9000 i9250 and such.
It didn't turn on after failed attempt to flash TWRP kernel using ROM Customizer (which worked for me many times before). Phone didn't went to CWM to flash kernel, simply went straight to GT-N7000 black splash screen and froze. When I tried to restart it, it switched off. And couldn't power on afterwards.
Try if odin detects it even if the screen stays black
Sometimes the fastboot loads which might just be enough to flash
If not you will need to wait for the jig.

Nope, Odin didn't detect anything. Does the version of Windows could have some impact on this? I'm on Windows 8 x64.
Not really, i supose the same windows machine detected it before ?
The samsung usb drivers are present ? (Kies installed)

I don't really remember as last time I used it was to root my sgn about 9 months ago. But I'm pretty sure I wasn't using Windows 8 only Windows 7. But don't remember which version - x86 or x64.
In that case best uninstall and reinstall the latest kies
and then try again to put the phone in download mode
after having started odin. Even if the screen stays black.
It's worth the try.
I suppose you also tried to take out the battery for a few minutes and put it back ?

Yeah. Did all of that (reinstalled kies just now too). But nothing works. That's why I'm curious about this Omap Flash. I don't like the idea of giving my GNote to service center to JTAG it. I still hope that JIG will help, but I also try to prepare for worse case.

Nope, when I connect SGN to my laptop there is nothing new in Device Manager. So I thought that maybe on n7000 it works a bit different or something, that's why I asked.
Omap flash is for flashing phones using a Texas Instruments OMAP Cpu, which is not the case for the Note which is based on Exynos 4210

Thx. So at least I can exclude this option. It's getting on my nerves I would understand if the phone bricked during bad flashing but not like this.
Is it possible that my brick happened because I was flashing different kernel while the phone was charging (battery was on 42% while it happened)? But still... it booted a bit afterwards and stopped on GT-n7000 splash screen... I don't understand any of it.
No i often flash while charging.
The kernel on a note has it's own partition
Just like the bootloaders and the recovery do.
While flashing a kernel even if it fails, SBL1 and 2 and Recovery
shouldn't be affected....
There are people wo got out of this by leaving their phone without battery for 24 hours. But I have my doubts myself on that method

Worth a try. I was charging battery overnight to check if this helps, so I can also leave it alone for a day. Not much use of a brick anyway.
Well if it would change anything, the only explanation is that the powerchip is left in an instable state,not giving enough power to boot. Hence why it's running hot. Normally it is 'set' by it's driver inside the kernel. Maybe after 24 hours it will reset itself. As you say, it's worth a try even if it is a long shot.

Seems quite logical to me. Thx.
My SGN is still dead even after one day off battery. I got my JIG finally and this doesn't work at all. Odin doesn't detect anything, there is no sound of connection etc. Tested on two laptops.
I have one question though. Is there any possibility to erase my personal data on internal memory before I send my phone to Samsung service center? I don't like the idea that some totally unknown/random people would have access to my stuff.
Only by connecting it to a riffbox, but for that you would need to open the phone and loose your warranty. So I guess you have to believe that they got something better to do then to scrutenize your memory

Yeah, but the problem is I don't have papers on my phone. It was bought on an internet auction from a guy who bought it on police auction. Is it possible that JTAG repair would be done instantly without leaving the phone in service shop? Or is it a normal practice to leave a phone for repair?
was on allaince rom xxslc
Screen froze i restarted bt even th galaxy gt n7000 logo wont show...forget abt recovery or doenload mode plz suggest something
may be the battery has drained.. try charging it for a while. What did you do before the screen froze ?
I was using whats app....then fone hanged....then i restarted.....but fone din restarr
have you tried removing the battery .. waiting for a while and pack it up and try again. its a very unlikely occurrence.

i had same problem where it was totally dead...(was on alliance lsa at the time). i was flashing and then unplugged the usb as it was stuck and it never booted again.
i tried everything and finally had to send it off for jtag repair...which cost £20 and i paid for special del both ways so around £32 all in (i think you may need the same mate~

This worked twice for me (only 2 times I had to do this): Go to recovery, do a nandroid backup & restore the same..
This worked once today (was at work & dont wanted to take nandroid & then restore..so tried this method): Go to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik & reboot..
One of these may work for you..try it..may not a solution, but really worth trying if u dont want to re-flash the rom, lose data etc.
May be he said no recovery or download mode in OP

USB Port broke and would not charge, Decided to flash stock firmware via mobile ODIN before battery eventually died so I could send for repair without them knowing what software was on it........But it died mid flash
after placing another fully charged battery into the phone it just wont boot at all, Completely lifeless.
Luckily my quick thinking made me take all the data and media off the phone before the battery ran out so im not too upset lol
I have warranty also, so i shall be sending it off after the weekend.
Current phone ??? Galaxy S3, so lifes not too bad
Good for you.
After being careful on flashing ROM based on our valued friends instruction, my Note got bricked somehow.
Rom installed: Slim Beans 4.3 build 2 with Raw kernel R4.
Everything works fine and smooth until on time, when i was using the phone with 19% batt while charging the phone hang. It was not responding at all so i pressed and hold the power button until it power off. Then i removed the charge and change the battery from a spare fully charged batt. Now the phone won't turn on.
Note won't go to recovery nor download mode. Does not show that its charging as no charging icon show up. I have an external battery charge though so i'm sure that my spare battery is fully charged. I tried to blindly perform the download mode and connect to PC with Odin and its not recognized. Even tried the one-click unbrick but would not recognize the phone. Any idea what else i can try beside using USB Jig or JTAG?
I’ve read about sudden death issues or reserve battery being depleted but non of the solution worked.
Anything else i might have failed to try? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Yes, nothing at all. it just died on me all of the sudden. I've never experienced even boot loop since flashing almost all sorts of ROM & kernel since CM 9 days, even jumping between TW/ASOP/CM/Miui roms. I've always been very careful in following the instructions reading since rooting my n7000.
now this happened. :crying:
Edit: And now i've read that they are about to release a Kitkat Omni ROM..
If there is no response from the phone at all.. then there could be board issues.. Try with a jig if possible. may be that can force the phone into download mode.. else repair center..

Hmm.. I was looking to flash the same kernel with the new tech. Maybe look for help from the developer? On his topic was a guy who had the similar situation.
Looking to hear more from you on this.
ps. flashed the kernel once (r4) and the backlights were turning on and off (in settings were turned off), so i figured the kernel isn't supported. Slim Rc2
Well, i finally got a usb jig today and tried it on my n7000, it didnt work. Still no download mode for me, nothing. As i suspect this is already super bricked due to damaged mainboard.
The screen won't light up at all? When you are in a dark room, the screen isn't completely black, and that is the sign you need. It could be messed up partitions. Have you used pit file before?

Yes, won't light up at all not even in a dark room. I have not tried using a pit file before but would love to try it. The problem is i can't get it to download mode, not even with a jig. Tried connecting PC with Odin running thinking that i can do it blindly even without anything showing on the screen. The problem is that Odin can't recognize it.
Having trawled the net for a solution to this, i am interested to see if you have any luck with this, as my note did exactly the same yesterday, although mine is stock.
Completely gutted:crying:
Yesterday evening my phone was on the charger then it suddenly stopped and it is completely dead. It isn't showing any signs of life ever since, even if I charge it. It doesn't even show offline charging and I can't send it to Samsung as it's rooted so my warranty it VOID. It seems to me that it has Sudden Death Syndrome because it has been recently been switching off and now it's completely dead. What should I do? I'm pretty much screwed!

If you get into download mode, go to sammobile en download the firmware for your phone and flash it with odin. if that worked, open stock recovery and do a fatory reset to make sure everything is back to stock... Then you can just hope it won't happen again.

Ok, can't help you, maybe search this forum for unbrick device. I know there are fixes that can be used with some bricks.

And I don't think Samsung will repair it as my warranty is void and I doubt if my parents would get me a new phone as this phone is only 3 months as well! And I have seen an unbrick thread and I tried it and it didn't work :'(
Well, I know how you feel. My charging port died once after I changed rom. Samsung asked me 200 for repair. Maybe you can give it a try and send him in... You never know Samsung loves you more than me..

Have you any news about the problem in your phone?
Mine (i8190 with one of the mclaws roms from previous week) also appeared in the morning shut down and there's no way of starting it. It does not even vibrate when power button pressed, as if the battery was completely empty.
Tried with another battery and checked that the original one had charge, but no luck. It does not start (normal, download or recovery, makes no difference).
Any ideas?

Well mine was dead for a day then I plugged it into the charger (this was after a day and I left it on charge all night and it wouldn't start) and I held the power button for 10 seconds while it was on the charger it showed offline charging so I let it charge for a bit and then I powered it on and it seemed to be bricked so I sent it to a phone repair shop (not Samsung as my warranty is void). If it doesn't show any signs of life then it's bricked. If it comes to life then it is also probably bricked. I tried flashing many recoveries, ROMs, kernels and params and nothing happened.
In the S III Mini General forum there are topics about getting your phone back to stock so that it is covered by warranty.

I tried to flash stock ROM and recovery but nothing actually worked!
1. Did you follow the instructions in detail?
2. What does "nothing actually worked!!" mean??
Maybe you need to work out what is the problem and why it is failing. Then you will be able to figure out if it is actually fixable, and if so how to fix it. "Trying everything" doesn't really work unless you make an effort to analyse the results you get every time you try something.
You could try posting in one of the threads about taking the phone back to stock. The people who posted them might be able to help you, they are more experienced at this sort of thing.

I tried those solutions and they didn't work.
Kid, can you read?
What did you try? What was the result?
"didn't work" isn't a result, it's you giving up. Without even trying to find out why it didn't work.

I read all instructions, and when I flashed it via Odin, nothing actually changed even with the params!
