enter recovery menu and wipe factory

if you means that the phone completely wont turn on after upgrading to jellybean , then u have u replaced the motherboard.. same thing happen to my friend a few days ago... he tried to upgrading to jellybean from gb using odin,the process ended succesfully but then the phone wont ever switch on again,no recovery no download mode ,completely nothing, no respon at all even if charging it. so he take it to samsung services centre and they replaced the motherboard.. they said about emmc failure things that damaged the motherboard.

That is happening when you install P firmware over non P phone, or non P on P phone.

nope, he flashed the right firmware that doesnt hav 'P' . he knows the diffrence between that phone.

My Galaxy Note Is DEAD!!

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.

WOW...
the problem is that i live in a fu**ed up country and we dont have samsung here.
all phones come without warranty and by smuggling from other countries
You mentioned killing yourself. Bro it's just a phone... Hang in there!!!

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?

SGA not starting

Hi,
My phone isnt starting.
Not in downalod mode , nor in Recovery.
I had flashed a ROM after full wipe and said restart in recovery.
After that phone isnt starting.
The weird thing is i have seen people who brick their phone, the phone atleast starts with a blank screen, in my case the phone doesnt start at all
Please Help me
You got hard bricked mate, the others had a soft brick
What exactly did you flash?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk 2
Hard Brick,only solution is to go to service center.What did you do exactly? And...you sure you pressed the right combinations for DL mode?
The Mokee-Dhamaal Rom.
I gave it to the service center today. I didnt tell them i rooted and this happened.Just told them phone isnt starting
If it gets Hard bricked will it ever recover ? or the samsung guys can fix it?
and it was just normal Flash.. i have flashed 100's of ROM.. upgraded to 4.04.. downgraded...

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....

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.

which one! I asked if you repaired or restored a backup.....
If you repair the phone it should be exactly like a factory shipped phone.
My only other thing to say will be have you got anything in your sd card (Both internal or external) that may be causing this? Any init.d scripts that reduce voltage etc...try deleting the contents of the sdcards and repairing again. (Obviously back anything up you want to keep)

i did repaired twice from PC companion and did once i think from the phone itself, and i don't have Scards its only the phone internal storge..
when i did it first in flash tool it didn't give me any error and then i did repaired it twice from pc companion however whats strange in ICS i never had the reboot problem
and if i remember correctly it only delete the programs etc, but the photos/music etc it never left the phone with both options i did...
so you suggesting to also wipe internal storage and repair to see if it reboot or not? i already have back up for all stuff so it won't hurt to try
thanks alot really for helping and sorry for my bad english ^^;
If you have a backup then try it.
Have you got a bootloop or do you have some reboots? What i mean is, does the phone actually boot up and only reboot occasionally or is it just bootlooping?

i also think so beacause its 2.5 years old phone
My old 5830 has started locking up and acting wierd too. It was fine on a stock kernel so I think its software related.
Start over from scratch if it bothers you that much. Flash a stock rom and then remod it.
