Bricked I9000, but have download mode. It got trickier than I thought. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I think I bricked my phone very well. I used Odin to put some GB Kernel in order to be able to upgrade to JB. Later I got into recovery mode and cleaned cache and many other things, but was unable to wipe data\factory reset, from there it all went down. I tried fixing it using this guide, but it didn't help. I still can get into download mode, though. And sometimes even into recovery, but it gives me tones of errors.
What can I do? How do I fix it now???
Thanks in advance!

Fix:
Try to flash a stock GB rom with Odin.
Kernel/ Upgrade to JB
After that flash a rooted kernel. Try CF-Root or Semaphore Kernel.

flash rom first, find ur own firmware, then flash rom using odin, if ur pet kernel first, there will be no rom to reset.

Hi,
got one problem. hope im typing in right section.
Flashed my I9000 to 2.3.6 JVU plus CF-Root. Minutes later ive tried to flash Gamerzrom via CWM.
(done a full wipe / factory reset, wiped caches etc.).
After that Phone reboots and is stuck in a bootloop containing the Semaphore screen and i cannot
enter CWM again. I have to reinstall stock rom first and then root it again.
Dunno what im doing wrong at that point; am i using wrong kernel?
thanks in advance

that gamerzrom...2.3 or 4.2?
if u wanna flash to 4.x, need to flash cm9 first.flash twice, from 2.3 to cm9 to cm10.dont do shortcut please...
cm9 need to flash twice, bootloop will occur on first flash,use 3 button combo to go back to recovery,its da matter of releasing da 3 button,release it rite after u see da white sgs,if still cant, flash back firmware n redo step.
after flashing cm9, do not reboot,flash cm10 or gamerzrom,first flash will error,flash it back again n then reboot, do wipe everything except sd when in 2.3, and please...read first before asking

Boot Loop after flashing stock

I was recently using Stunner ICS but decided I wanted to go back to stock and start over. I downloaded the stock N7000XXKJ4_N7000OXXKJ4 firmware and installed it through odin. I did not receive any errors on the phone or on my PC. But now it seems like my phone is stuck in a boot loop. It just keeps showing the samsung boot animation over and over. I used the download jig to get into download mode and tried redoing the firmware twice already with no luck. One thing I did notice is that the jig is no longer resetting the binary counter. Does anyone have any other ideas or is my phone possibly bricked?
This is supposed to be in Q& A section... Anyways... Did you try wipe?

What worked for me having the same problem recently is go to Recovery mode (Volume up + home + power) and you'll see this funny kinda recovery, not at all CWM Do a data wipe/factory reset and then reboot.
Same thing happened with me yesterday, wipe in recovery fixed the problem

I'm sorry. Mods please move to appropirate section.
Thank you guys. I was beginning to freak out. I was trying to do the recovery menu but couldn't get it to work. I thought the recovery menu was also hosed but I had the wrong buttons. All is good now! thank you so much!
First thing you need to do if you want to get back GB, flash abyss 3.9 redpill kernel.
After that flash GB rom.
So later you can flash whatever kernel you want

Hanging at Samsung logo; can't boot into recovery; am I bricked???
Hi guys...
I've been semi bricked for about 18 hours now. And it's starting to look like it's a full-brick.
I had the latest Gingerbread ROCKET ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, with the latest Franco kernel in place.
I thought I'd give the ICS version of ROCKET ROM a go. Flashed Abyss4.2 kernel without any hassles. Used 'advanced' to boot into recovery. Did my various wipes. Flashed the ICS Rocket Rom zip. And got caught up in the recurring boot-up, mostly upgrade, run, reboot cycle that's been described in many places.
Didn't panic.
Booted into recovery again, and flashed the ICS Rocket Rom again.
But this time, it wouldn't go past the SAMSUNG logo.
Still, I could boot into recovery.
Which I did.
And I tried to restore my Gingerbread build from Nandroid.
Tried it. But it hung on the Samsung logo again.
With one key difference... Now, no matter how much I try, I can't boot into recovery.
I *CAN* boot into 'download' mode. So I've used PC Odin to try and inject a rooted Gingerbread rom into the phone.
The instructions tell me to wait for the phone to reboot twice. Sadly, it tries its first reboot, and doesn't get past the Samsung logo. And that's where it hangs. No recovery mode either.
What shall I do??? Oh, woe is me. Etcetera.
--------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE
--------------------------------------------------------
I found a version of Abyss 4.2 kernel in tar format. I flashed it via PC ODIN, and I now seem to have a phone that can boot again.
Not much more to report at the moment, cos the battery is on about 3%, so I'm charging it now before delving further. Will give more feedback once the battery's up and running again.
Here's a link to the Abyss file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1072122&d=1337500067
I tried all of this, was on stock ICS 4.0.3 and had it rooted.
I tried to restore a backup which was sadly on GB and then the restore of /data failed
I then tried to flash paranoid custom rom and it was successful but the phone never went any further than SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE GT-N7000 logo
I then Flashed a direct rootable stock rom via PC odin and all was well but the phone would never go any further than the logo before mentioned
I tried flashing AbyssNote kernel via pc odin but the CWM recovery menu kept on rebooting hence leaving me with not particular choice to select
Tried wiping data, cache mem, dalvik cache but no use and now i am on stock recovery menu. please help me out
i have this Samsung i9220 china i try to flash upgrade the firmware with Odin3 v1.85 . i got stock phone can't power non recover modem non booting logo , does anyone have any ideas ?

Should I Go Back To GB ???

Hi everyone as you can see i am a noob and have learnt everything within a month from these forums i started off by rooting my note and then i flashed the now famous repack from china and from there i have been 99% of the time using stunner but also liquid smooth. Before i flashed the chinese repack i did a backup in clockwork after all this came out about the emmc problems with the repack i used that clockwork backup to go back to gingerbread and then flashed a rootable firmware through pc odin when i checked about phone i found everything was back to normally including baseband version is back to N7000XXLB2. I managed 2 days with gb then thourght stuff this and reflashed the repack and went back to stunner( i carnt live without tablet mode 160 dpi ) and still on stunner my baseband version has not changed its still N7000XXLB2 ? My question is in my situation would you go back to gb or stay with stunner ?? Also i have bourght a jig which i have used twice to remove yellow triangle. What would you do ?

I did neither when faced with the same dilemma.
I went back to rooted GB and immediately flashed CM9, which is safe, because it is not based on the infamous Repack.
Your modem hasn't changed because not a single custom Rom contains its own radio.
You jig will do fuq all for your Note if, God forbid, it comes to the worst, i.e. hardbrick.
Not even JTag would help you then.
Thanks for the reply is there a noob style instuctions on how to install cm9 and link please lol as i will do it now ! Also i have heard ppl saying that once u have flashed the repack it changes your bootloader and theres no way to change it back is that correct ?
HELP

Try wipe data, wipe cache, wipe battery, and wipe dalvik. That works for me when I downgrade to GB too.

Nobody ever says how, but one way is via stock recovery mode: Vol up, home + power at boot up. Then select wipe / factory reset.
Of course you should revert back to gingerbread unless you want to join the party with this guy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25730932

HELP Needed With Broken Phone

I've been flashing custom roms for quite a while but yesterday I got into some trouble and the situation that I have now is this.
I've installed a stock rom using Odin. The flash seems to go ok but when the phone boots it gets to the screen where you touch the green android to continue then a lot of force close messages come up.
I've tried flashing the stock rom with Odin a couple of times but I end up with the same result. Is there anything else I can try besides taking the phone to the repair shop?
Any help is appreciated.
If u flashing a GB stock rom, then i got the same backing from ISC LPY.
So i start phone in stock recovery mode (hold: up volume+power+home buttons) and do a full wipe. After reebot it was all ok. Just remember WIPE OLNY IF U FLASH GB ROM!!!!! Wiping in ICS may causes superbrick. Hope i help

If a factory wipe/reset does not work. You could try the following steps:
Put AbyssNotekernel42 zif file in your micro sd. Flash Abyss then boot into recovery of Abyss and flash the rom again.

[Q] Bootloop!! Please Help

Hi!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 which is stuck in a bootloop from 2 days already and i cant do anything to stop it. I was on stock ICS LP8 and I wanted to flash Paranoid Android ROM. So first I had to downgrade to GB and I did that by flashing a stock GB ROM from Dr Ketans thread via ODIN PC. When the flashing was done it just got stuck in bootloop at the "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N700" screen. I have flashed different Stock GB ROMS such as KL3 or KK1 but the bootloop still presists. I have wiped cache and dalvik cache like a million times now but nothing changes. I have also done a wipe factory reset and that didnt change anything. I am able to get into download and CWM recovery mode. I have a few nandroid backups but when I try to restore it just says MD5 Mismatch! Right now i am on stock ICS LP8. Is there anything I can do to stop this bootloop?
Please help! Much appreciated.
Seems like a bad flash. Happens sometimes.
Download your stock GB ROM again - go to download mode and flash it via ODIN once again. After flashing, boot into recovery and wipe user data and cache.

Try the following procedure:
Download abyss kernel from:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...rnel/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar
Use PC odin to flash this kernel then boot into recovery mode of abyss. You can then do a full wipe and try to flash a rooted GB rom.
No Luck
Tried both methods but nothing seemed to change, its still in a bootloop. :-(
Anyway, thanks for the help!

Stuck mith mu GNote

Hi,
I' in trouble with my note. It stucks at samsung logo animation and i cant make it boot to ics anymore (i'm on stock 4.03 ics rom)
This is what happend : i played/bench beetween gl_notecore kernel v9.x/v10.x and chainfire 3D driver install/uninstall, all was fine and suddenly my phone freezed at ics homescreen after a soft reboot (OC or whatever make it freezed).
So i hard reboot it by pressing power button 10 sec, and now, it dont full boot anymore.
I tried to flashed many kernel through cwm onboard kernel stuff (notecore/speedmod..), tried wipe cache, tried to flash stock rom (N7000XXLQ3_N7000XXLPT_N7000XEFLP1_HOME.tar.md5) throught odin but result is same. Phone is indefinitly show samsung animation logo screen without finally boot into ics.
I dont know if chainfire 3d driver is the guilty one but fresh rom flash dont unbrick it ?
What's my solution now ? i didnt tried to full wipe before flashing stock rom and i'd prefer not. but...
thanks for your help :good:
To be on safe side i would try to flash a stock gb rom first then move to ics later. Flash gb stock from dr.ketan thread then go into recovery and wipe ....then it should boot.

Download a GB Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Flash it using PC Odin. If your phone stuck at bootscreen logo or you face any issues do a Wipe by going to recovery mode. (GB Kernels are safe to Wipe)
Now Check whether the issue is still there or not.
Gb flashed successfully, and phone boot normally.
But GB soft reboot a lot. Seems flashing gb over ics without a wipe make a mess in the rom =)
Going to wipe and flash ics back.
Tanks a lot !

Remember not to WIPE on ICS Stock Kernel. When you want to flash on Stock ICS remember to flash a safe kernel first like notecore/hardcore/etc
No matter, i'm aware of MMC_CAP_ERASE brick of the death
I will do like i did before. flashing notecore kernel through odin and triangle away
Edit : oh wait.. and i'll never install chainfire 3d again
