how to repair bad sector on internal storage

hi there...just superbricked my n7000 n got recover by using manual re-partition...after manually repartition i notice that about 3gb space on internal storage cannot be use that we called bad sector...now i just have about 9gb internal storage...is there other guide or technic to gain the 3gb bad sector back...
sory for my english...

Don't know if it would work or not, bad sects ore are usually marked as such due to being physically unusable, but you could run e2fsck (Google it) via terminal emulator. Or run DD (again, Google) with dev/null being the source file, that would wipe out any corrupted data, may have to be run more than once, two seems to be the magic number when used to do a routine wipe on my phone.

By repartition you will get your note working again, but *will* loose about 3gb of your internal memory. No solution to it.
Even if you do manage to unmark the bad sectors, it will just get your phone to the position it was in before you repatitioned. I think it will be as good as bricked again.
Better option, if your binary count is zero, you are on stock kernel and your note is under warranty, get it replaced under warranty.

Use "triangle away" download from google play. It will reset binary count to zero and remove yellow triangle.
After that brick it again and send to ssc for claim new mobo.

Please make sure you know how to fool ssc staff. They will ask you what u did with the phone.
You can simply answer that you totally do nothing and the phone totally no respond at the morning.

Hi All,
Recently I've also super-bricked my phone. I've tried reparation by pit but I loose precious 3GB from Internal memory.
then again I've bricked my phone and gave to SSC. Hope I get e-mmc replaced.
BTW
I'm from INDIA. I told SSC that I was just upgrading my phone and they said it is "dangerous" to upgrade phone at home .
Edit: Got my phone from SSC with new board.

corrupt BOOT LOADER

hi guys .. i seem to have messed my phone up when doing the 4.0.4 update
were can i find the files used with Odin to go about fixing my issue?
files for the boot-loader...
as my CWM is corrupt
& the phone will not boot up get as far as the NOTE splash before starting the phone

So your bootloader is ok....
Just get a stock rom and flash with odin.

This point to the case of superbrick mate. It has caused damage to your system and maybe also data partition. If you have warranty try to seek help from service center where they will replace mobo. Otherwise only repartition can help revive your phone. Follow the link from dr.ketan tool box in his signature to the guide for revive superbrick note cause by emmc bug. Hope you can make it. Cheers.

I mean to say, if you have performed it earlier then chances are there your device is bricked

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback.
At the moment I'm flashing GB using Odin 1.85. It's not failing it's stuck on factoryfs.img, Ive been gone for 2 hours and still on factoryfs!

Did you perform a wipe while on the rooted ICS ?
It sounds like a probable brick..

Seems higher chances of bricked
If you have device under warranty, then claim it, otherwise

If its just 3gb loss, then I can live with that. If its going to affect stability then yes that is another problem. :\

We'll see! I'm just glad the phone is back up now! Though thank you for the heads-up fahrie12!

I didn't read any review who recovered same way have amy stability or other issue, just N-joy! N explore reborn device now.
Anf yes loss of 3gb is not problem, but indeed it is solution to ur problem, sector which was damaged has to be block. Yes if you have claimed warranty you may have not have it.

Since you can go into download mode, why not try to flash any stock ROM using Odin PC and see if can boot up..

Actually i did, but was stucked at the factoryfs.img

uh, thats bad. you can hard brick it again with "franco kernel". Ask chainfire, as he had flashed the chinese-leak ics bootloader, his note went from GT-N7000 to GT-I9220. He actually extra hard bricked his note (i assume by flashing nonsense to bootloader partition) and sent it to samsung for repair. A while ago flashing "franco kernel" was a guarantee for dead note (even the screen went blank - no dowload mode, no jig mode)

i just wanna reset the counter and i will send it to samsung again as they already told me that the warranty is OVER (( and i have to pay almost 400$ to replace the motherboard

If they are charging you anyway I can't see the problem. What does it matter what the counter is,if it is out of warranty ?

Uh, thats even worse. 400,- for replacing mobo is quite a lot. here in Germany you can buy a brand new Note for 350,-€
If you just want to reset the flash counter, you can try the method with jig by flashing the SGS2 Bootloader and then returning to SGN Bootloader. Sneaky point: when you´re on SGS2 bootloader, you have to navigate blind, due to black screen. there is an tutorial around here...

If you are able to enter download mode,then flash angelom kernel so that it will reset the binary count and removes yellow triangle in a bricked phone
I tried for the download link but i am unable to get it
