If you can't get into download mode, that tab is hard bricked and will need a JTAG-based restore operation to return it back to operation. If you have a P1000, you could also attempt the Unbrickable Mod by Adam. It's somewhere on the forums. That requires extremely good soldering skills, to the point of removing an 0402? resistor. Services exist to help you with a JTAG restore for a nominal fee of about $50. I can't recommend any, but I'm sure Google can help you out.

did you find a solution to your issue? I flashed a wrong pit too with no where to go now.

That diagram you had is the same thing as the download mode. So treat it as such and flash your rom and kernel normally and it should work. I had the same problem before. To be sure, tried the following thread. Go to the 3rd post in this thread and follow the installation instruction. It will work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382055
I get that every now and then too. I reinstall the drivers (included with Kies), and reboot the computer. After that it will work.
Froyo to Gingerbread -- Please be extra careful when flashing

Does ODIN still recognize your Tab? If you are upgrading from froyo to gingerbread, you may need to load new PIT file as well as new dbdata.rfs.
If ODIN still recognize your Tab, try to download your choice of firmware again with PIT file included. I'll attach a working PIT for you.
Note: Please extract the attached file to get the .PIT file and put it on PIT field on ODIN along with your choice of firmware you are flashing.
Once you are done and reboot, mostlikely you'll be in a boot-loop stuck at SAMSUNG screen. Now reboot to download mode again, then flash the DBDATA.rfs.tar I attached on the following post in PDA field on ODIN:

wakak make sure you got the proper Samsung driver installed!

help bricked phone

Hi everyone. Im not normally in this section as i have an x8 but my friend has seen all the roms,mods and updates ive done so he tried to do it to his galaxy s i9000 without rooting or unlocking his bootloader. I asked him what he did he said he just tried to update software with keis but now it wont turn on just white screen with a red triangle in the middle i hope its download mode as i dont have a galaxy i dont really no but the battery has died and it wont charge im guessing hes damaged the bootloader am i right and if so whats the best corse of action to tepair it. Thanks.
You can check if it is in download mode by pluggin it in pc with odin. See the wiki page what it says about soft brick.
Soft-Bricked
After flashing a rom you might not be able to enter the Download Mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power. In this case a so called 'JIG' would be helpfull.
You could build it on your own: [HOWTO] [REF] Get Download Mode without 3-button combo using homemade JIG
... or buy a preassembled one on a well known marketplace.Hint: There is no difference between a JIG for Samsung S/S2 or S-Plus.
See if you can go into d0wnload mode with vol down home and power. If that works go and try to find the stock firmware for the phone and download and extract. Download odin and put csc pda and phone/modem in there rightful places. 512 pit in pit section. Pit usually comes with odin download. If not find it somewhere. Repartition checked and hit start. It should reboot when done. It will problaby take a couple of min to boot but be patient. If it starts to go into boot loop put back into download mode again and reflash. Its very hard to mess up the phone to where you cant fix it. So relax and watch tuts or whatever helps you best. I know of a link i that i will find and post for you when i do.

DEAD bricked phone
So, my friend's phone (hopefully she'll stay my friend after this) was turning itself on and off all on it's own. So I (no good deed goes unpunished) suggested that I will upgrade her firmware for her. She had 2.3.3 firmware. I downloaded the odin1.7 as well as a package of all the info for 2.3.5 firmware upgrade. I flashed the phone- originally only using the PDA option with a file called: CODE_I9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03_user_low_ship
It worked, the phone restarted and showed the firmware as being 2.3.5.
I don't know why, but I thought it would be a good idea to update the CSC and the pit and the modem as well- so I did that. when this was finished - though odin said that the flashing was successful the phone is completely unresponsive. The computer doesn't recognize it, it doesn't show any signs of life at all- like it's in the dark ages and there is no electricity in it.
HELP!!!
First question: do you think a jig will work? how dangerous is it?
second question: is there any other option to try that I haven't come across other than changing the motherboard, and if there isn't do you know where I can get one, bear in mind I live in Israel.
Please e-mail me a copy of the response to [email protected] if you can...
Odin dosnt pick it up atall plus the batteries dead aswell now and the stupid thing wont charge so i cant evan try any thing till i find away or some one to charge it but thanks for the tips.

Try to recharge the battery from other phone or use another battery.
Check whether you have the download mode working. (Home+Power+Volume down)
If yes, put phone in download mode and flash Darky RE or any other Rom via ODIN. Try to get the recovery mod after rooting and then try ROMs.
Or try restarting the phone it may work without update also. Long press power in download mode restarts the phone. However be careful.
What is the status of the device can you go to download mode
Post your firmware files name and how you choose in the odin flasher.
Dont try anything crazy you will bricked your device more:banghead:

Alternate way to Download mode
Hi gavster26
I have been there with a buddy's phone... not a nice place.
Found a link showing this other trick ... but you have to trial and error this one on the different combos:
1. Phone off
2. USB cable pluged in
3. Odin running
4. Down (or Up - test both) Volume button + Home button + plug in the USB cable.
This booted my dead "bricked" phone into download mode.
Try it.

Super brick Solved

Dear Super brick user
First I would like to Thank HG 42 for his Support on super Brick
1. I followed the Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3597010
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3597010
I downloaded 4pda_kernal.tar This helps in getting CWM
I downloaded Pits.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3597010
in download mode I connected my mobile to my laptop and with ODIN 1.85V I selected c:\Downloads\pit\Q1_20110914_16GB-patched.pit as my PIT file
and for PDA file I selected \N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar.md5
which I downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
then press Start button.
Miracle went (I did not even format after partition) I hope it is included in the PIT file. HG42 has to clarify it
Then it went to reboot and was stuck at Samsung logo
I even got on message saying Samsung Encryption fail error and asked to reboot
when I pressed OK it rebooted and was Stuck at Glowing Samsung.
I once again reboot with pressing Power button.
this time it went through all the setting and it is done.
Now I have lost only 8GB with the process
I hope down the time there will be a guide to even remove the bad sectors or blocks.
If it fails in this PIT file try with other PIT files that HG 42 has provided.
Thats It.
Great
Once again I thank HG42 for all his hard work and support.

I'm guessing super brick is some sort of corrupted file system, which will not allow the phone to boot, or allow you to flash anything to it. All the while still having access to download mode - a teaser so to speak.
Hardbrick is eMMC damage = paperweight.

Even though i had lost 5Gb in the process! A week ago i was able to revive my Note to it's full potencial!
But losing 5Gb in 11.2Gb that you can use it's a lot to me because about a week ago i had my SGS2 and i used it to make calls.. and i was using my Note just as a multimedia player and internet browser mostly and no calls or sms because it was SIMless!
Anyway what i agreed with my GF is that i would take my Note to samsung to see if they could replace the motherboard for free since i have warranty for my phone and yes.. in a week i'll have my Phone back with a new motherboard completly for free!
My advice:
If you have warranty, get rid of the binary counter with the jig following this tutorial:
[REF] How to remove yellow triangle on any firmware with JIG
And flash a stock kernel from:
[KERNEL] Stock Kernel for N7000
I've done this and it was accepted as having warranty on Samsung Services

Did you super brick your note after doing a full wipe?
I think the same thing has happened to me .. i can flash rom and all but no matter how many roms i try flashing i am stuck at the samsung logo!
You lost 8 gb.. does it mean you have only 3GB left??
can I ask....how are you able to determine how much space/storage you lost? Just curious.....
After re-boot, I checked in Setting> Storage
it shows now as Internal Memory 2GB, USB Storage as 8.24GB and SD Card as 25.89 GB (I dont know how even I have lost another 4 GB in SD Card also). Even After formating SD Card it formats only to 25.89 GB instead of 32 GB or 29.4 GB.
How to do this when the phone doe not boot at all, not even download mode.
You can't unfortunately.

It looks like you have a case of super-brick with some faulty partition.
If you can get help from SS service you should go there. Otherwise, The re-partition guide below can help, although you will loose some storage space. Use custom PIT file method or manual.

[Q] My Galaxy Note(SHV-E160L) is bricked...

before writing, I'm so sorry for my pooooor English.
I live in Toronto, Canada. I bought my Galaxy Note(SHV-E160L) from Korea, so change sim card from LG U+ to Rogers.
but when I sleep, Note encounter Unlimited Reboot.
so I try to repair in 3-way.
first, Factory reset. but I could make Download mode only, couldn't make Recovery mode.
so I try Samsung Kies Recovery mode, but Kies show me binery Error.
last, I want to use ODIN, but ODIN show me Error Message, too.
"Complete(write) operation failed"
What this means?
If it can't be repaired, I must send my cell phone to Korea.
I'm very embrassed...
please help me!!
and Merry Christmas for you
Is it sticking on factoryfs.img in ODIN ? this usually means its bricked which kernel where you on when you did the factory reset ?
I had a similar issue last week, stuck in odin, everything failing, I was convinced it was bricked, I manage to repair it by (no joking here) flashing a million wrong things in ODIN.... But DO NOT TRY THIS lol
try to flash a safe kernel through ODIN, and then see if it bring back recovery, then you can wipe and flash a new rom (hopefully)
otherwise there is the pit file method to revive from a brick, which works well, but loses around 3gb of internal sd space
hello
hello bro...
try this method:
download a stock gingerbread rom then go into download recovery, flash it with odin, root your phone.
from here you can install any custom rom, this is how i do when i got bootloop.

Perhaps should follow closely the guide for using odin from Dr ketan should help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
1. Installation
- Download stock ROM (should start with a GB rom), and extract it to .tar file
- Download Odin, open it
- select PDA tab and point to ROM file. Leave Re-partition, pit, CSC, Phone tab unticked.
- Switch off device, Put in download mode (Vol down + Home + Power)
- completely close kies, Anti virus if running
- Connect device to PC
- ID com port shud turn yellow (not shown in image)
Now hit Start

see how it goes.
Same problem as OP
Hello guys,
unfortunately, I have the same problem with my 32GB SHV-E160L as OP. Little backstory:
I bought the GNote in Korea and brought it back to my country. I successfully rooted it with one of the guides here on XDA (Tegrak kernel, no OC whatsoever). No problems so far, the phone worked for weeks and I was able to do what you can do with rooted phones. One day while surfing the net it just crashed and was stuck in a boot loop. This is where I am now.
I tried:
Go into tegrak recovery. result: It gets stuck on samsung logo, funnily the phone would establish a usb connection if plugged in (as if in download mode)
Reset from Kies. result: After beeing told by Kies to go into download mode, instead of flashing the new software it gives an error message in Korean about missing binaries (see attachment)
Flash from odin. result: the dreaded red box with "fail" appears after the NAND write command
Now, after doing my research here on XDA I found out that my emmc might have damaged partitions and I need a PIT file. Here's where I'm stuck.... I can't find a PIT file for my 32GB note, only for the N7000 or the I717. And I don't want to mess things further up... so if anyone here could provide me with a PIT file, or tell me how to fix the phone through other means I would be really grateful
Thanks in advance....
You should ask hg42 if he can make one - in his thread I read that he did this before even for other devices.
So try a pm or post in his thread. Good luck

Did you, while flashing, thick "re-partition"? If you are, that is reason.
On your place, I will change computer and USB cable and try again.
If nothing helps, then find PIT files for your phone model and flash it with PIT file (re-partition) and stock firmware.
At first I unticked re-partition and ticked Auto reboot and f.reset time , I then flashed the firmware which had no luck, Secondly I flashed with re-partiion Ticked with no luck aswell ! I also unticked all except for Nand erase Still no luck , I flashed my model PIT file with the original firmware same thing NO luck ... So maybe it's an hardware problem , I have attempted to do this on another computer and still no luck with re-partition unticked.
Hmmm... U already try all available options...
Maybe try with older version of Odin, go on SamFirmware site find your model and look at version of Odin...
Otherwise, u make brick
