Major headache with P1010

Recently received a GT-P1010 (Wifi only version).
Story:
Mom wanted to try it out so I let her. Told her the basics and how to shut it off.
Went back downstairs after a while and found the screen was off, asked her if she shut it off in detail, she said yes. Don't think she did because the next morning the battery was dead.
Charged the battery to full and booted it up. Stuck in a boot loop.
Found out how to get into recovery mode. Restore factory settings and everything else doesn't work. Stuck in recovery mode.
Try flashing different firmware. Can't find a US firmware version for the life of me (from what I understand I don't think one exists yet?)
What can I do here? Such a headache with this at the moment. A couple random things that might help detail my problem;
- movinand checksum fails (what is this movinand stuff anyways?) -might be slightly wrong spelling on that file name but i'm sure you know what file i'm talking about. just too frustrated to bother turning it on again at the moment.
- update.zip on the sd card can't find the file or directory doesn't exist
- on one firmware flash attempt i had the pit, pda and csc files. i found everything would finish installing but the csc. it would get to "movinand" and fail at almost 100%

Anybody? Any ideas?

Bumppppppp

to the top. any info?

Last try =\

lmao, Do you honestly believe anybody here is going to fall for that?
At least be honest about your fail, You obviously tried flashing your device without researching properly and flashed a incorrect fw like many of the wifi-only n00bs.

Uh... no. Actually it happened exactly how I said it happened. The battery was dead. I charged it. It was stuck in a boot loop. Got it into recovery mode. Stuck in recovery mode. Thanks though, asshole

Yeah whatever, nobody believes you. Next time do some research and dont flash wrong firmware to your device.

Lol what is your problem? Rough home life? Why are you here if you're not going to help?
I've actually done a **** load of research. I spent 9 hours trying to fix it. I got it out of recovery mode and back into a boot loop but obviously that doesn't help. It's sitting there stuck in recovery mode again.
Maybe you could point me to the correct firmware, then?

[Q] Major phone issue (hardbrick?)

I tried flashing the ics source port but forgot to flash cm7 first... It flashed fine and I followed the procedure to flash. The phone would turn on but always go straight to recovery. I figured this was because I didn't go to cm7 first, so I went to flash it but I kept getting errors. I went to flash stock, it started going so I walked away. When I came back my phone was just a white screen and odin was stuck at sbl.bin. So now I can't boot up the phone, there's no bootloaders, just a black screen whenever I try to do anything. The thing is, I can get into download mode just fine through button combos which leads me to think it's not bricked. However, odin/heimdall will not recognize it... Anyone know what to do?
EDIT: View last post by me.

Try the things listed in the "connectivity issues" post attached to my signature. If none of those works to get Odin/Heimdall to see your phone, post back.

followed it. Didn't recognize for like a minute then it showed up. I started it but it's stuck at do not turn off the target

tried again and same thing

What is it showing on the computer side (i.e. what is Odin/Heimdall saying right now)?

I'm using odin right now. But heimdal would always just say not recognized or whatever it says. Odin, when I get it to finally recognize after waiting a minute using your method, it just gets to DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET! and stalls there.

I got it to work. No clue what made it finally work

Good to hear. I know the feeling - it's like the computer/phone are just messing with you.

Damn. A similar thing happened. I had to flash to stock since button combos weren't working, and all the sudden while odin was running my screen just went black. I waited to see if anything would happen, but everything just stalled there. I've been trying to use my homemade 100k ohm resistor jig, and button combos to get into download mode but nothing seems to be doing anything. Am I bricked?

If u have no signs of life at all (no battery charging screen when u plug into a wall charger or no kind of something happening if u try to power it on) then u r hard bricked.
But there is Jtag and the Unbrickable Mod.

Its cheap and keeps your phone from ever being unrecoverable again, it is better than paying the $150 for a replacement.

Yeah and seeing as how I'm planning on doing a bunch of development on it once I get another phone, I'm probably going to need it.

I have it and it does come in handy

Sometimes, if you get a lucky brick, the UnBrickable resurrector will work without any mod. This is rare, but its a shot. If you need a mod and don't have the tools, pm me.

I had something similar happen to me,when I was running A6 or A7. I even noticed that I was losing folders that were visible on CWM. I was going to try to re-flash the ROM, but those folders were gone. What fixed it for me, was I did a Factory Reset, and al of the lost folders came back, and I was able to Odin back to stock. I was one of the more weird things I'd seen with my Cap

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?

Dead Boot

Cheers,
Yesterday while I was using my phone (just the usual email/facebook), my phone began getting slow and sometimes unresponsive. So what I did
is that I turned it off, and back on again, however, when it booted it just stuck on boot animation, after this I turned it off again and this time
removing the battery, then placed the battery back again and tried to turn it on, however, from this point onward it wont turn on anymore.
The screen just remains black and nothing is happening. So i brought it to my nearest Samsung shop and they told me that its in Dead Boot,
and that according to them they will have to do it via JTag (no idea what this is) and that it would cost me (roughly 60$), and that
they are still not sure whether it'll be fixed.
Is there really no other way for me to fix it, without being to costly in my part?
Randy.

Help! Hard Bricked Note

After being careful on flashing ROM based on our valued friends instruction, my Note got bricked somehow.
Rom installed: Slim Beans 4.3 build 2 with Raw kernel R4.
Everything works fine and smooth until on time, when i was using the phone with 19% batt while charging the phone hang. It was not responding at all so i pressed and hold the power button until it power off. Then i removed the charge and change the battery from a spare fully charged batt. Now the phone won't turn on.
Note won't go to recovery nor download mode. Does not show that its charging as no charging icon show up. I have an external battery charge though so i'm sure that my spare battery is fully charged. I tried to blindly perform the download mode and connect to PC with Odin and its not recognized. Even tried the one-click unbrick but would not recognize the phone. Any idea what else i can try beside using USB Jig or JTAG?
I’ve read about sudden death issues or reserve battery being depleted but non of the solution worked.
Anything else i might have failed to try? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Yes, nothing at all. it just died on me all of the sudden. I've never experienced even boot loop since flashing almost all sorts of ROM & kernel since CM 9 days, even jumping between TW/ASOP/CM/Miui roms. I've always been very careful in following the instructions reading since rooting my n7000.
now this happened. :crying:
Edit: And now i've read that they are about to release a Kitkat Omni ROM..

If there is no response from the phone at all.. then there could be board issues.. Try with a jig if possible. may be that can force the phone into download mode.. else repair center..

Hmm.. I was looking to flash the same kernel with the new tech. Maybe look for help from the developer? On his topic was a guy who had the similar situation.
Looking to hear more from you on this.
ps. flashed the kernel once (r4) and the backlights were turning on and off (in settings were turned off), so i figured the kernel isn't supported. Slim Rc2

Well, i finally got a usb jig today and tried it on my n7000, it didnt work. Still no download mode for me, nothing. As i suspect this is already super bricked due to damaged mainboard.

The screen won't light up at all? When you are in a dark room, the screen isn't completely black, and that is the sign you need. It could be messed up partitions. Have you used pit file before?

Yes, won't light up at all not even in a dark room. I have not tried using a pit file before but would love to try it. The problem is i can't get it to download mode, not even with a jig. Tried connecting PC with Odin running thinking that i can do it blindly even without anything showing on the screen. The problem is that Odin can't recognize it.

Having trawled the net for a solution to this, i am interested to see if you have any luck with this, as my note did exactly the same yesterday, although mine is stock.
Completely gutted:crying:
