Is my phone bricked? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
I am using cm10.1 and I formatted my sdcard and internal sd in being recovery. Actually i wanted to format internal memory card but I formated external sd card also.
I then tried taking another sd card with cm10.1 ROM image, but now I am not able to launch in recovery.
Have I bricked my phone?

Hi Quasar10,
I'm new to this (N7000), so my info may not be 100% accurate.... Where as other Android stuff is fine....
Anyway, as you said you formatted in CM10.1 (as Samsung hasnt released a Android 4.2.x rom yet, only Android 4.1.x which is known in rom land as just CM10. You should be fine....
Its only the official stock roms for ICS (Android 4.0.x) and MAYBE JB (Android 4.1.x) that were affected by this. By the sounds of things, all you've done is lost your Recovery Firmware. And so I would flash it again in Download Mode say summit like Philz and then flash another ROM...
Just stay away from anything ICS based....
Cheers, Lister

go to download mode (volume down+home+power) and download a stock firmware from sammobile and flash using pc ODIN.

[Q] I'm stuck

*Fixed by using Odin, flashing to stock- restarted properly... Cheers*
I have a Galaxy S I9000 which had speedloader and a custom rom. I wanted to upgrade to the Miu/Cyano latest release. I didn't copy the latest rom to the extended SD card before flashing CM7 via odin. I can't work out how to get the Miu zip file to the right place.
How do I access the internal SD card?
Have I stuffed it? Any help would be awesome. Cheers!!

[Q] SDcard not mounted/detected after stock ICS

Hi, I flashed to LP9 and could not see my SDcard in file mgr. Same problem when booting to recovery mode.
When I flashed back to stock GB ROM (LC2), card is OK. Tried LPF but also could not detect the card.
Pls help.
Anyone else experiencing same problem as me?
Card is readable with card reader on PC. Card is readable on GB ROM.
I tried flashing via Odin PC with Singapore and Taiwan ROM.
Also tried OTA upgrade from stock GB ROM.
All 3 methods could not detect Sdcard / external storage whether from filemgr or from recovery.

[Q] Flash problem

Hello,
I just ran through format on data, sdcard, preload, cache, etc and noticed that CMW do not have "Mount USB". Long time ago when i flashed roms on another phone i just went inside and mounted the storage from there. Thou back then i had a SD card.
Anyhow, my question is:
Is there any other way to flash Paranoid into the phone without having the ZIP on the phone? Like using Odin to flash the rom from the computer through download mode instead?
I got CF Autoroot + CWM installed.
Thanks in advance

No you need to install ROMs from internal storage or SD card.
However there is 1 thing.........IF YOU HAVE I9305 DO NOT FLASH PARANOID ANDROID!!!!
This is intended for i9300, you will brick your phone.
Only flash ROMs from the i9305 section.

[Q] CWM recovery won't mount SD (and other problems)

While trying to get a new ROM I installed CWM recovery and it can't mount the SD card to install update.zip for CWM and the new ROM. The Jelly Bean OS I have installed won't boot (it says that it has unfortunately stopped working) so I can't put anything on my internal memory.
Any ideas?

You need to flash JB with Odin first, if you was on GB. Then you can install custom JB ROM. And you need to repartition SD card if nothing is visible in CWM from it. For that read this thread. You need to use USB Mass storage to mount SD card, and be able to do that.
And if you got JB before instaling ROM, you need to do Factory reset in recovery. Probably that cause that "unfortunately stopped working".
P.S. What CWM you used, temp one? Use stock recovery, and root phone. Than use Frapeti's universal kernel flasher (it is in develeper section of I9070), and flash CoCore 6.2 (unpack it first and use kernel.bin.md5).
It was on Jelly Bean before doing anything. I tried factory reseting multiple times and it didn't work. I'm using CWM recovery 5.8.1.5.
So if I can't get into the OS and recovery doesn't work, what's my first step? Will Odin recognize my phone?
Thanks
Edit: never mind, it just worked. I don't really understand how and thank you for your help.

Use CWM that is integrated in kernel, like CoCore 6.2 kernel. You used temporary CWM?

[Q] Problems after alliance v2.3 Android 4.3 installation

Hello there,
I've got a problem after installing the custom Rom alliance v2.3
I came from ripper Rom v20 which is based on Android 4.1.2 and everything was fine there.
Yesterday I installed alliance. I made it with the instruction guide in the alliance thread. That means I downloaded Rom customizer and twrp.
I wanted to use Rom customizer but when I pushed flash then I was gone to recovery mode. Then I did it directly with twrp and alliance was installed.
But now I have two directories for the intern storage. I think one from 4.1.2 and one for 4.3.
What can I do now to solve this problem?
My idea was to wipe the s3 lte completely. A complete system wipe and a factory reset. Should I do a boot format too? After the OS is gone and boot ist formatted can I flash the alliance Rom to my phone? With PC or directly on the phone, if possible? So that nothing from any old versions is left on the phone and a fresh alliance can be installed.
Sorry for my bad English. My school English is ten 8 years ago.
Thanks in advance
In recovery mounts and storage format system sdcard data and cache .
Phone is now blank boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .
Or from ext sdcard flash custom rom .
Thank you.
I will try it today.
Is it normal that when you go from 4.1.2 to 4.3 that user data is left on the phone but can't be reached through a Explorer? When I start in cwm and click flash from SD card I can choose my new storage and the old storage from before the update. When I start normally then I see only the best storage, doesn't matter which path I click. So now I . can't delete everything left from before the update.
Will this be gone after formatting data and SD card with cwm?
I thought with Odin you can only flash .tar files and no .zip files like alliance? What have I to do to get this working?
