[SOLVED] [Q] Galaxy Note won't flash original firmware

Hello guys!
My friend gave his Galaxy Note for me to get a brick fix. He said that he flashed the German ICS STOCK ROM and wiped using CWM. He said that he entered in a bootloop. Then he tried to flash using ODIN, but it stopped at factoryfs, as known at the eMMC bug. In the bug, he disconnected the USB cable and he is seeing a message which says to connect to Kies and select recovery. But he said that didn't worked and Kies didn't recognized the phone. Even with ODIN, loaded with PIT and PDA, the phone wasn't able to receive factoryfs, the same file from the 1st error. I followed a lot of tutorials here on XDA and used the search to find a similar thread. He needs help, since recovery mode, charging mode and normal mode are blocked by the message. I need a ROM which contains the PDA, the CSC and the MODEM files. I already have the PIT, so I need those 3 files to try again.
--PHONE DETAILS--
Samsung Galaxy Note N7000
16GB Storage
LAST Firmware completelly flashed: XXLRQ (I think that is the firmware which you can't wipe)
ICS Stock
Thanks!
EDIT: I tried with another GB firmware and with an ICS firmware. Still NOT WORKING.
EDIT #2: The phone still have Download mode open!
BIGGEST EDIT:
All of the methods in this thread are NOT WORKING. Still stops at factoryfs and CWM says "Installation Aborted". SO, WHAT I CAN DO? He is desperated, I'm desperated. PLEASE ANSWER FAST !!

He did successfully bricked his devices.. If you are not able to enter into download mode you have a paperweight in your hands... If he has warranty try to get it replaced.. If he doesn't then try the pit file method on the general forum..
You don't need any 3 files.. It's the same or at least the effect its the same with 1 or 3 files

He is able to enter into DL mode. Even PIT doesn't work.

Well then your only option its the warranty or pay samsung either for a new phone or a mother board replacement...
That pit file method its only a partial solution to help you get your device partially working maybe a couple of months.. When the emmc bug happens it does damage the Emmc chip so the hardware its fried and there's no software that can repair it..
The pit method could work for someone but not for others.. Depends on the damage

Here I think you may find a solution for your problem.
If you think you need to flash the 3 files with odin try flashing an old GB ROM, you can find it here, some (NOT ALL) of the ROM in this post has PDA, CSC and PHONE part.
Good luck!

It's doesn't matter if it's 1 or 3 files.. The pit file just repartition the emmc in order to reacomodate the memory and so you can flash the rom.. Flashing separately phone csc and PDA won't make any difference..

Have you tryed to flash a GB ROM with three files?

This solution is based on a GB kernel. I'm in the same situation as Mr.Indigo, with the same ROM and the same problems. I need to use CM9 kernel to use with ICS, right? Or I can use GB kernel?

Yeah already told you.. Walk to the nearest samsung center and claim the warranty or pay for a replacement

unfortunately sound like a brick to me. failed flashing via pc odin and stuck at factoryfs has something to do with your root. so i heard.. the best way is to send it to SSC for repair while you still have the warranty

He didn't have warranty. I'm trying to flash any PIT which owns factoryfs. He said that fails to wipe into some minutes and I have 88 factoryfs PITs. So I have to flash ALL of them to know. BTW I can flash a kernel using ODIN!

Problem my phone is stuck on download mode.

I tried rooting with the chainfire auto root thing and after the red android screen i got the green one again and its stuck,i tried taking out the battery a few times but its still not working.
Any help would be amazing.

Well search would help ..
You say you are stuck on download mode .
As in download mode does screen not move unable to boot to recovery unable to power off .
Read the CFauto root instructions in full

I did and didnt find anything helpfull for my situation.
Also tried to root again but again its stuck on downloading... do not turn off target screen.

Boot to download mode and it says as it should Downloading do not turn off .
You are now supposed to flash the firmware via odin .
You should flash your stock firmware to get the phone working .
Then read the basic faqs and guides before you flash anything as its pointless flashing without reading the basics .
Or take it to a service centre .

Thanks for the reply ill consider doing that
but before i try that i managed to get into recovery mode does that mean i can try something or should i try the odin flash thing?

Clear data and cache then reboot you may not have to reflash the rom. if that doesnt work tha use odin to flash stock rom. good luck

Is there a way to know my version/pda since i have no idea what stock rom to download

Device model no. in recovery mode
Hi,
Sorry to ask a random question. I Have my device model no. as S3 I9305 when I go to download mode and in my phone settings I can see my device model as S3 I9305T. I have recently installed Australian official firmware(XSA version without any career bloatware) in my phone, which is the S3 I9305T. I found it weird to have two different model nos. in 2 different places. When I first bought this phone it was the Telstra version, which is S3 I9305T. After that I changed many firmwares and installed S3 I9305 version from optus and other country's S3 I9305 version as well. Could you please tell me why is that?? Is this because I once installed I9305 firmware once? If that's the reason, today I flashed I9305T official firmware again with Odin. Is there any way to reset the download mode as well?? Please reply. Thanks.

Not unless you know what it is or saved the original .
You can just pick a stock rom for your area/ network .
If you bothered to read the basics their would be no need for all this ratting about .

@JJEgan I need some help, Ive got device, with same problem (i9305)
the donwload mode (which it defult boots into) does not show any device infos (which normally shows on the upper left corner)
Ive tried flashing latest stock rom (4.3) it gives an error (NOT "error pit file partition" but error flashing. failed it does not go beyond sboot )

So you run odin in windows.
Boot your phone to download mode
Connect device and wait for confirmation of connection in odin.
And then you click pda and choose a stock firmware.
And click start.

@tissot Odin gives fail error as I stated before. Am going to try 3 part odin package ive downloaded,.

That method is only for original firmware and not from custom 4.2.2

Then flash stock JB and after you can downgrade, right?
Powered by CM10.1

Install a Cocore Kernel, then flash a stock based rom, or reboot on download mode if has the option
Sorry my English
Regards!

Didnt worked, still oding cant recognise it to install original stock firmware

So it should be about your PC drivers.Uninstall and re-install latest drivers or you can install crappy Kies it will install too

Thanks all guys.
The Phone is on Download Mode now, and Odin recognised my phone.
And the 2.3.6 version is uploading now, and seems it is solved.
Thanks alot.

That's why you have issues with it.Downgrading have different method you should use pit file and check re-partition, you can't downgrade with a stock GB.
There's a thread in our i9070 forum.Use the given files in the thread maybe PC can recognize your phone.

Hi ... Try to follow some of the following tutorial. Supposedly downgrade is the best solution. Do not forget to check the "repartition" when did it to GB.
To 8GB & To 16GB Hope can help.

Are you still able to enter Recovery mode (the default)? But first try to remove the external memory card is yours. Then try enter recovery mode. If successful, try to do wipe all through recovery. Then try to flash the stock rom. Good luck.

I don't have sd card, and I remove sim card. I put on download mode but only method downgrade GB freezes on ''flash kernel'', when I try flash another kernel GB odin fails ( on version 3.10 odin, I use to apply downgrade on odin 1.85). I flash italy firmware 4.1.2 and take a long time to finish (16,02- 20 min) and no results, the message and problem continues.

I see some coments about this issue. Some people says is problem with partition and needs full firmware (Phone,CSC,PDA,Bootloader etc) I try search for full firmware for S advance but only full firmware I saw is GB (process downgrade) and get no progress with this method. I need full firmware based JB,maybe can works. Please someone send me full firmware based JB please.

you can get full firmwere here... http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9070/INU/ (you can change country )
if you have 4.1.2 bootloader then download 4.1.2 firmwere form above site and flash it with your PIT file ( if you have 16Gb mode use 16Gb pit file directly ) put firmware in PDA section.
