Hello there,
I just bought a galaxy note <well a week ago> and now i ended up soft bricking it.
here's how i did it -
I went to my friends place thinking of rooting my phone while he told me to add a custom rom to it . well since he was experienced i let him do it . he added a firmware of i9200(chinese ). well it worked now i found some chinese system applications that i didn't need and while searching on net how to do it i found a firmware of n7000 ics online and decided to flash it in. since i was at home i thought i would be able to do it myself and did what i shouldn't have done. i followed every step they said online and started the downloading of the rom but unfortunately when pc odin was at it's end i mean the end of downloading i actually disconnected the cable ( what the f*** was i thinking) . now i tried to reinstall the same rom but couldn't - pc odin always showed setting up connection or something like this and then stalled for hours ... i thought of flashing some other rom but it didn't - same thing <stalling for hours> . Now what should i do??? help me - maybe i can go to samsung customer care service and ask them to reset my phone but since the usb debugging was on last time when i turned my phone off , kies might not do the job . can u suggest me a way.
one more thing i can't flash stock rom into it and <i am dumb> i didn't backed up my stock rom.
p.s. my flash count is 2 . i can't load my phone into recovery mode but can into download mode and can't do it with a jig (am from india plus i am a little low on technical know how).
i can't hard reset it either. a suitable help would be appreciated ,pls

I have no experience with this, but I did keep this video link on how to put a bricked Samsung into download mode just in case I needed it. The usb jig is the same for both the captivate and the Note from what I have read:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...ung-captivate-usb-jig-video-start-finish.html
If you are able to enter download mode then Just try with different version of PC Odin , like V1.83, V1.85, V1.87. and do not worry about Stock ROM you can always download it from below link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
thankyou guys but i can't use jig since i can't buy it nor am i capable of making one.
Rajan , bro my problem is something different. the roms i am trying to insert in my phone was via the odin i used earlier to flash my first rom. and it went successfully . but last time the second rom i inserted was interrupted during download and am not able to add anymore of them. now i have talked to samsung care and they told me to bring my phone along with the bill maybe they can do it. even though my warranty is done for, but i think i can believe them . yet if there are any other suggestions pls tell me or should i give it to samsung care. I really don't wanna keep my phone rooted so i have no problem flashing stock but it's not happening. CAN KIES HELP?
p.s i have used all 1.85 , 1.87 and 1.83 version no use.

Dont take it service centre.If you do so also dont say them you flashed custom rom.Then they wont fix it under warranty.Dont worry now.
Try different usb ports,uninstalling drivers and reinstalling it and try again.And as you are noob I recommend not to flash ICS customs at the moment.Stay with GB
I say go to your friend first who rooted your phone then ask him to try the various methods given in the forum recovering from softbrick.
i have read in some other websites that i will need a pit file to restore my phone + the rom file while checking repartition and auto time fe: reset in odin 1.83 then maybe i will be able to return back to gb . do u think this is ok for me to do .
p.s i live in chandigarh while my friend has moved to gurgaon so no chance to go to his place. and i have talked to customer care and told them everything. they told me to take the phone to service centre and they will help me.
now tell me what are my options!?

wait . what? what is this red pill and all .. i think you can save me but i would liike you to brief me about the procedure plus i read this - i need a (wipe) rom to be able to reflash my rom or something like this .
p.s i am still downloading my firmware ...
but would be better if i get the info i need before hand!
dude.. don't panic... I don't think ur phone is dead... best is to buy a jig... try on eBay... I got it for 200rs in eBay... I don't think that's a big deal for any one with a note .. I bought it even before experimenting because I thought some thing like this might happen....
its safest way to remove the triangle and get into recovery mode... as somebody else suggested flashing red pill also works ... search in development section for abyss kernel... ull find it...

its a kernel with a custom recovery.Its like CWM(Clock Work Mod).You could find it in the development section.Download the kernel.Could you get into recovery mode by turning off the phone,holding "vol up+home button+powerbutton"?

wenn connecting to Kies at firmware Kies says something like LC1. lb2 (XXX) as product code? if so they have changed the board on the service center and they haven't activate the Pcode on your phone google "Pcode not active" you will find few posts till now only ppl from Germany had it who send their phones to service center via Saturn/Media Markt ist guess it was/is a technician you was sleeping on the seminare/briefing how to change the board on Note. hope it will help you if it is that try to replace your phone, had the XXX Pcode after service center got a replacement. after a month of arguing with the salesman.

Uninstall the Odin in your PC and install it again to see if it works.
i am pretty much sure that they didn't change the mother board. they must have added the firmware that's all as my mboard wasn't damaged at all , it was just that the battery failed when i gave it to samsung people that's why my phone overheated when they charged it and that's when the battery must have been destroyed maybe due to that overheating they must have thought to change mboard (but they didn't cause those engineers must have changed the battery prior to examining my phone for the problem). AND i didn't have pc odin on my THIS pc to start with. it was in my laptop and kies didn't even reckoned my phone there well that's why i installed kies on HERE . i guess service center people can update it the same way they installed this firmware here..... what do u suggest?
AND Braxos Pcode is active --- it's something :
GT-N7000ZBAINU
and no, the current firmware info kies shows is something like ---
N7000DDLC1/N7000ODDLC1/N7000DDLC1/N7000DDLC1(INU)
(now i think they have done something wrong - it's all n7000ddlc1 here. what is this? )
GUYS can u also tell me what does your firmware version shows (just for reference , pls do it!)
p.s my phone is still in warranty since they fixed my phone free of cost plus they also replaced the battery for free . before my phone was sent to service center my phone had a flash count of two yet they fixed it under warranty(yay!).And thank you everyone!
MY ADVICE TO NEWBIES----
If your phone is soft bricked and you don't know what to do and you think you will make the matter even worse then don't do anything to permanently brick it . you guys should go to service center , they might even fix it for u for free just like they did it for me!
Ok....you have heard this many times before but Ill ask anyways in the event someone can help me.
I am a newbie to rooting although Ive had my Note for months.
This morning I rooted successfully .
I also dloaded clockwork mod and watched YouTube tutorials on it.
Then I thought id try flashing a new ROM and Paranoid Android looked the easiest. Just two files - the zip and the fix. So i downloaded them to my CD card and then booted from RomManager into recovery mode.
Here is where I truly stuffed am I am guessing.
First I went into the immediately available option of 'instal file form SD card" and tried loading both Paranoid Android rom files .
I got Signature not verified etc
So then I went a step further and went into the clockwork mod folder instead ( where all font is blue and it becomes a touch screen menu ) and both files were there also so I hit the Paranoid Android zip file and it seemed to be actually doing something so i thought you beauty ! Some white lines of text came out, it stalled for a few minutes and then the phone just turned off and that's the way it is. DOINK.
I cannot turn it on.
I cannot boot into recovery mode.
My pc doesn't recognize it as a drive.
Kies wont recognize it.
so I have two questions ;
A) Is it resuable ?
b) Of I cant do it will Samsung service center be able to re-load the OS or whatever or is the unit well and truly fried ?
thanks
You obviously did not read the OP since procedure is clearly explained. What you did is just nonesense.

you dont provide enough info..mainly exactly what rom and kernel you were on when you tried to flash Paranoid.
Maybe he should start writing in the correct forum (Q&A) and even better: read there first and find a lot of related threads and exact informations.

Can you get into download mode?

I flashed from the recent android 4.0.3. Asian version ( I am in Cambodia ) . I believe the mistake i possibly made was going in to CWM files in recovery mode and doing it from there ?
Anyways....its back with Samsung RC now so hopefully they can rectify back to normal . I hope they dont see all the root files etc in the SD card. This is Cambodia so I doubt they'll care.
They'll be fixing the screen i cracked a few weeks ago too. Dropped it and it chatter like a bullet hole. So....my note will be all minty when i get it back....albeit $180 later !!

Yes, i came from cambodia too, actually for that price over there it's quite expensive.
any way, good to know that some one from cambodia is using Galaxy Note, impressive!
EVERYONE is using the Note here. Especially the girls. They love it even though they can barely hang on to it
$180 is for the Screen only. I believe ill get the OS redone for free.

Yeah you really suck at following instructions since you didn't do anything correctly.
You saying it does not turn on is indeed unclear, since you mention right after "it does not enter into recovery mode". So if you made the distinction., one can wonder...
So if you can't turn it on at all, including download mode, your phone is hard brick and needs to go to RMA, and since it is not due to emmc bug obviously, rma can be refused by Samsung because if they investigate they'll see that you flashed a different recovery.
Sorry dude, it's just about how lucky you are now...

Here is the rub.
Samsung rang me yesterday and said the phone needs;
New Screen at $150
New motherboard at $150
New front camera at $25.
Ouch
However....
Apart from the cracked screen (which happened weeks ago) up until I rooted and then ****ed the phone with my atrocious attempt at flashing the new ROM....the phone was working with no worries at all.
Can I ask the techs here as I have no idea ;
Would the motherboard be a victim of the flashing attempt ? If so....I am in the wrong and will pay all monies. I am guessing it is directly related as the phone was fine until the flashing attempt. If not......would the shock from the fall weeks ago have caused a failure in the MB ? Or could that just not be related at all ?
Basically, I am wondering if i have a leg to stand on with trying to claim warranty on the MB ....When they contacted me yesterday there was no mention of the phone having been rooted " you have been a naughty boy !! ". Actually what they said was " you dropped your phone and now the motherboard is broken "
thanks

Hey Guys,
I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830), recently while uprading the my ace with the Cyanogenmod10, i had bricked my phone, now it never goes into the download mode so that i can flash the firmware with Odin. Actually yesterday, i used Rom Manager to Install the Custom Rom, and when said yes to install the custom rom, phone shutdown, and never started again, i googled around for some way out to go into the download mode, tried all the key combination, but could not go into the download mode, i tried the Home + VolumeUp and connected the USB to PC, with this method, my phone was detected, but because it was not in the download mode (i guess), so Odin just stucked at setup connection... and does not go further. Have anyone went through this dilemma, can anyone help me out of this, my warranty period is elapsed, so was thinking to get phone back to life myself.
Please anyone help me with this, i love the phone... I know that was my mistake to use Rom Manager to Install the Rom.
take it to the service. there is no other way. i tried everything, belive me. repairing costed me 200hrk (around 45$).
and
DONT USE ROM MANAGER
By taking it to a service center...Only way to recover it

check the back of your phone.when you remove your battery you will see 3 gold squares..when you take it to the service center and it becomes 9 silver small squares it means that they didnt change the motherboard they just solder it to connect wires to the motherboard they used jtag...:cyclops:

Don't know where, but its more expensive than a brand new ace (and lots of low-mid range smartphones)
I bricked mine 1 week after getting it. I took it in and said it shut off and I can't turn it back on. They made sure it wasn't the battery, then replaced it under warranty. So if you still have a warranty, it's worth a try. The guys at the store won't know you've been screwing around with it.
To use Rom Manager you need a CM-compatible rom installed. It says that right on Rom Manager's download page. DO NOT USE WITH STOCK ROMS EVER!!!

Do you have recovery mode?
I bought the Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 around early January from Ad Dammam, Saudi Arabia it came with GB 2.3 after than I came back to India phone was working fine, after 9-10 days phone flashed the message that software update is available(without any info regarding the version of the update).
I updated the phone with that prompt.... After the whole update process screen displayed that phone update is complete and reboot the phone which i did Since then phone is dead, displaying nothing :crying:
I tried every solution on google but phone is not going into any mode "downloading" or "recovery" however for the first time when it all happened i tried to connect it to laptop and punched the combination of keys into phone the laptop for a while recognized and installed the drivers for the same but it didnt come up as a drive or anything, Now it is not even recognizing the phone connected. :crying:
Can anyone help?? I recently lost Galaxy S2 in car theft then I bought this??
Had you installed a custom kernel?

i had gone there they said that they have to change the hardware and it will take around 1 and half month for that "part" to arrive :/ and i think they will charge hefty sum, so i brought the phone back so that i could try the alternative....
still any workarounds guys??

Agreed with Shaan... try another shop then...
but I still don't get it.. how can a software update "kill" your phone..?
When I was on GB, I got a software update and by mistake I tapped on "Install"... ( I didn't want to install because I was using custom kernel)... so after the update downloaded.. it went to Recovery or something to install but it couldn't.. my phone showed me an "Broken Android" logo or something and turned off... After turning it on everything was OK (fortunately)...

If the ota killed ur phone they will not charge u anything for the repair, search for official Samsung service centre. If I were u, I would try to open odin with the jb tar, connect the phone without the battery and while pressing vol(-) + power + home, as soon as it recognize the device press start to flash

Hi guys, here's the story... I'm using ice cream sandwich 4.0.4 stock rom and attempted to upgrade it to jelly bean. I downloaded the custom firmware slimbean 4.2.2 for n7000. I rooted my note first using exynos apk file and it was successful. I placed the downloaded rom with gapps on my external memory and began puttng the phone to recovery mode. I flashed the slimbean and it says that it was installing so I thought everything is working fine and then suddenly the phone shuts down and it wont turn on anymore. I have tried several attempts getting the phone into download mode or recovery mode but no luck. Phone is not booting anymore. Yes, no splashscreen or whatever just blackscreen and its totally DEAD. I made my own jig and thinking this might work for me but unfortunately phone is not reacting but when I tried putting the jig on my s3 its working fine so its not the jig but the phone and when I observed the phone when battery is on, the phone gets hot meaning my phone is not totally dead. My battery has a charge so its not the battery at all. I've seen several article about this jtag thingy but dont have any idea how much will this cost but not planning to buy the jtag tool because I wanted to take it to a local repairshop here in the Philippines but i dont know how much will it cost me. Can someone please help me? Im really seeking for assistance here because warranty is already expired.

Yeah.. you flashed using stock recovery and stock kernel... ERROR
There will only be 2 options > try JTAG ( not 100%) or a motherboard replacement. JTAG is much cheaper that Mobo replacement,.
Not 100% for jtag? Aaaw. Im hoping not the MoBo.

Hi, the same thing happend to me on the n7000 of a collegue of mine. I already found a shop that can try a jtag. It costs about 50 euros. He said to take the phone to him and after he looks at it he will be able to tell me if he is able to repair it or not :| I'll keep you posted about the results. This n7000 was on 4.0.3 but the same slimbean rom. Imagine, it isn't even my phone. Hope i don't have to buy her another one :| If this goes well, or even if not, i am not touching any other phone again in my life !!! except mine ofc. :| Hope you will recover yours. GL to us both.

The thing is: why didn't you think about this before doing this? Do you have an insurance?
Maybe you should record the next meeting with your "friend".
Did you try the e2fsck check in hg42's thread? This helped in a few cases, maybe you are a lucky one.
Or the repartition trick? But you should inform your friend about the consequences.
Repartition?
I am stucked with no boot ...... Odin mode look like working but PC can not detect it when connected......
what should I try?
I installed that kernel v13.04.23 (former t8) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxfuacm/files/Galaxy Note/MaxFu_HydraCore/
mmmmm

When I boot to Odin mode and I connect usb to PC or Mac - there is nothing happens....
The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it(((( BUT here it DOES NOT SEE MY NOTE connected.....
ill go next week with it to try a jtag. idk what to expect... here in germany, its pretty difficult to find someone who can do it. at least i didnt find anyone in my city. idk what to say.

i had this problem two weeks ago...if you are still on warranty send it they will replace it for you if not you have to replace it because jtag doesn't always work
I sent it to a repairshop. They've tried jtag'ing it using medusa but there's always an error 18. Technician said that it might be the emc or just a jtag error. Im sending it again for second opinion to other tech.
