[Q] Please help me with my Note GT-N7000 (I might have bricked it)

My Galaxy Note GT-N7000 was on CM10 last night and I followed Zedomax's rootgalaxynote.com GT-N7000 unrooting method and when I was installing the Mobile Odin Lite on my phone, it said it needs to download more add-on to be able to flash it, then all the sudden my internet connection was down, so I couldn't download it, but followed his instruction and tried wipe and factory reset, but it got stuck at formatting (no progress), then I flashed cm9 again, but it was stuck at cm9 boot logo, nothing else. Then I followed Zedomax's rootgalaxynote.com's first method using my Computer Desktop but

Khai.

you give not detail as needed. but nevermine, from the last part it seems you has bricked your phone.
i think you might need to refer "hg42" thread to revive your note.
Sad to be hear that.

the ever GOLDEN RULE: Don't ever ever attempt to WIPE data if your on a unsafe or on a stock ICS kernel. That's should be at the top of your list before you do anything on your phone. If you need to WIPE, make sure your already in a safe kernel or if you haven't still, then flash one.
Now going back on your perennial issue. The only thing you can and will do is FLASH a stock GB on download mode using PC ODIN. Yes Doc Ketan's thread/s have those old GB's ROM.. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, follow it to a tee.
One added thing when your going to start to flash GB again... Pray, that it would not stuck back again at 'factoryfs.img'
Good luck bud!

No luck...yet.

Can you get the Note into Download mode?
If so, try using desktop Odin (latest desktop version not mobile version) and flash the Abyss 4.2 kernel. the Tar file is easily found on XDA. This is a GB kernel and should allow you to get into full Recovery. From there you can flash a new ROM as you are now on a safe kernel.

Tried that, but not sure about the latest desktop version.

Hi, thank you for your message, I was on Abyskernel when I factory data reset, and tried to flash back to cm9 from cm10, but no luck. Then I used Odin3-v1.85 on desktop with Gingerbread Rom, it got stuck at factoryfs.img.. I have tried with different pc disabling firewall and anti virus. What is the latest desktop version of Odin that you know? What specific tar file do you know that is the best? Thank you again.

your CM10 to CM9 downgrade sounds like a bad flash, it can happen. I would try Odin3 V3.05 with Abyss (search for "AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar" or go here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/yoe791qq3atbung/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar).
this should allow you to install a safe kernel to flash from. if you can now access Recovery, then you can flash a ROM from there. I would use a Stock based one (I always recommend Chrack ROM or Criskelo), If you prefer, you can download a Stock tar file and use Odin but I would try downloading the latest Chrack ROM or Criskelo ROM, transferring it to your micro SD and flashing after you have installed the Abyss tar.
I hope this helps. Please hit Thanks if it did.

You gave me the AbyssNotekernel, but the only thing my phone can now do when I turn on is either show a screen with "Firmware upgrade encounters an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" or on download mode. Or is there any way I can use the Desktop Odin and try to install the AbyssNotekernel that you gave me? I really don't know bro. Thank you for the message, please let me know.

Yes, the Abyss tar file is for use with Odin. install Odin on your PC, put the Note into Download and connect. Flash the tar file and wait for the Note to reboot (search for notes on how to flash with Odin if you're not 100% sure). you should now be able to use Recovery to flash a ROM from this safe kernel.

Just a quick question.

.tar file is to be flashed with odin directly. It has an image inside and should not extract it. Should put the .tar file in one folder but not on desktop screen. Select pda box in odin and brow to the folder where you put .tar file. Should see it there.
BTW, if flash using CWM failed again, then should use hg42 scanner to check if there is partition damage.

Thanks for your patience on your instruction, I actually was able to flash the Abysskernel that you gave me with ODIN and it went straight to the recovery mode, but then I can't install anything, then I put it back to download mode and tried to flash a Gingerbread ROM, but as always it got stucked at factoryfs.img. What do you think I can do bro? Please let me know about it. Thank you.

It seem to show you have an emmc brick, although using the partition scanner will confirm. The options are to send to ss service for warranty or to revise using repartition. For warranty you will need to reset flash counter using a jig.

Hi bro,
I flashed the Abysskernel again and it went to Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 logo with big Triangle at the bottom and it then goes to Android system recovery <3e>, then it looks like there is no option for me to access the SD card, but its own 16GB storage it came with and that one has CM10 in it. Tried to flash that, but it says "E:failed to verify whole-file signature". If I attempt to claim for warranty will Samsung know that I rooted it after clearing the binary counts? Please let me know. Thank you for your instructions. If there is anything else you want me to try out, please let me know. Thank you.

Once reset flash counter the triangle will go and you can flash a stock kernel find link from dr.ketan toolbox, then it is ok to send to warranty.

[Q] Galaxy Note doesn't go beyond logo and stuck at Downloading.. PLZ HELP :(

Hello all,
I read now the warning post and I understand now that probably I shouldn't have done it (so please be gentle ).. however maybe someone can still help me with my situation:
I've rooted my Galaxy Note with ClockworkMod recovery successfully and then busybox.
Then I went to recovery mode again (after restarting the phone), however it loaded Android regular recovery mode (not Clockwork), so I installed Clockwork again and without restarting performed WIPE DATA (maybe that was also a mistake?). After it was finished it restarted by itself and now its in the following status:
- stucks at GALAXY NOTE N7000 logo. Sometimes blinks, but never goes beyond it.
- Recovery mode exactly same - stuck at logo.
- when plugging USB it will show the battery, but it's like stuck then.
- Tried download mode, but it's stuck at Downloading... forever.
I couldn't find the exact case as mine, that it restarted by itself and stuck at logo now.
I backed up everything, the previous ROM and etc.
I am aware of the bricking bug of ICS, however I had the ClockworkMod installed, so what did I do wrong??
And most importantly, what should I do now? Can I do something via the download mode? I don't think Odin recognizes any connected device when I plug in the USB, but I don't know how to check if it does or not..
Thanks in advance!

Switch to download mode, connect to PC and install a stock JB (be sure to install the USB drivers before).
Make a snapshot of the errors an post it here.

I don't understand this.. my stock ROM was:
Baseband Version: N7000XXLB2
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXLC1
I don't know what coutnry, I bought it from Netherlands, I live in Belgium, but it could be from any country in the region!
I cannot find this one exactly. I find many with N7000XXLB2 and many with N7000XXLC1.
Which one should I choose?
Also, can I install a JB or ICS directly?

Please let me know I'm doing it right (cause this is getting really insanely ridicilous):
1. I install PhilZ recovery mode via the phone recovery mode.
2. I install a stock ROM (I tried many) via Odin download mode.
All the time stuck as Galaxy N7000 logo. Never goes past it.
Every time I install a stock ROM it also removes the Philz recevory mode, but maybe that's ok..
Anything I'm doing wrong??

Why don't you follow my advice from second post and then show us a snapshot of PC Odin.
No need for Philz when installing a stock Rom with PC Odin (it's always deleted).
And tell us what Rom you install.

So I don't wipe anything and just go to download mode and install a PDA file of a STOCK ROM, that's it?
I tried that, but now I will be more specific (and in another guide they say to do some steps before, so its very confusing already).
I also asked above how do I know which ROM I should install?
and also, how do I get errors log? there were no errors when I was installing the PDA..

No going into recovery mode after restart this time and still same problem.

when you flash a stock rom with pc odin, the phone may not boot. If you have flashed a GB rom then when you are stuck at logo enter stock recovery with three button combo and then wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and then reboot.

I flashed a stock rom as explained above, not a GB. I tried wiping cache and all data through recovery. Nothing helps. You say it might not boot, so how do I make it boot with Stock ROM?

stock roms can be ginger bread (GB), or ICS or JB (jelly Bean)
flash a GB stock rom, wait for the proceedure to finish completely, when you see its not booting then use three buttons to get into stock recovery and then wipe then reboot

By "ClockworkMod" you mean CWM.zip right? This is a temporary recovery that disappears upon reboot. It also LETHAL to wipe with when running on top of a stock ICS kernel.
So to sum up;-
You were running Stock ICS.
You flashed CWM.zip (from YouTube or where ever) from stock 3e recovery and then flashed Root/busybox file.
Booted back into stock recovery, flashed CWM.zip again and performed wipe data/factory reset with it.
How am I going so far?
Bad news - you have most likely superbricked your device.
If so,new MOBO or repartition is only way out now

it might be mess up.. try get 5files wif bootloader n place it accordingly in odin .

Yep, emmc bricked. Send it to servicecenter, they repaired it for free, for me. Or you can do the workaround http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886 , but i dont would do that, as you will get many freezes maybe. Thats very annoying.

First, I was trying to find some solution, here and google, but every one that could work, don´t.
I was trying to install CyanogenMod 10.1
I followed the installation guide... but when I have to choose CM zip file, I choosed another one from other sell (I was using the same card)
The CM that I use was this: cm-7.2.0-jordan.zip (from a defy phone)
instead cm-10.1-20130621-NIGHTLY-janice.zip
Everything goes bad since that.
I tried to wipe data/factory reset:
E: format_volume: fs_type "ext3" unsupported
E: Can´t mount /cache/reovery/log
E: Unknow fs_type "ext3" for /cache
I tried to update from external storage
But only shows me this: " ../ "
I tried to apply update from ADB
I followed the guide, copy the roms on self directory, put the 4 files on c:\windows , etc.
This are the common errors that shows me:
C:\Windows\Herramientas Sideload>adb sideload gapps-jb-2013
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
I tried kill the adb.exe like this, but doesn´t works
error: closed adb
I tried this but doesn´t works
I found nothing that could help more, so that´s way I making this post.
Here is some data:
GT-i9070
Windows 7 64bits
Kies updated (but could connect to the device now)
I think that drivers of the cell are updated, because windows shows me that... buy i don´t know if is the correct one.
I will be very grateful if you can help. I hope this can be fixed ..
Best regards!!
PS: sorry my english.

Can you enter in download mode with vol down+home+power when phone is switched off?

I didn´t know that.
Yes, now is in downloading mode:
Do not turn off target.
My pc can´t recognize it

Reflash stock jelly bean with Odin, then flash CoCore kernel for CWM recovery, and retry to flash CM10.1. To do that:
1-Because your pc doesn't recognize the device uninstall Kies and install only usb drivers (you can download install package here)
2-Download Odin and i9070 Stock Jelly Bean firmware from samfirmware (I recommend i9070XXLQG PDA)
3-Extract downloaded zip, you will find three files (one .dll, one .pit and one .tar.md5)
4-Launch Odin, select "Re-Partition" and leave others as they are. Press "PIT" button and select .pit file in extracted firmware's zip file, then press "PDA" and select .tar.md5 file in same directory.
5-Enter in download mode like I said you early and connect device to pc, press "Start" button on Odin and wait for the "SUCCESS" message, now your phone should power on normally.
6-Now download this zip file (for obtain root access) and put in sd card (micro sd, not internal memory!)
7-Turn off your phone, press vol up+home+power to enter recovery, select "apply update from external storage" then select root.zip, reboot device.
8-Now you have stock jelly bean rooted, update SuperSU from Google Play and install Universal Kernel Flash from frapeti (you can find it on Play Store).
9-Download CoCore Kernel here, take kernel.bin.md5 file from zip package and put it in internal storage.
10-Launch Universal Kernel Flash, select kernel.bin.md5 and flash it.
11-Power off phone and enter again in recovery with vol up+home+power, now you should have CWM-based recovery, select "backup and restore" and take a full system backup.
12-Wipe data, cache and dalvik and retry to install CM10.1-janice, in case something goes wrong or you want to remove CM without flash again with Odin you can restore your system backup from CWM.
If you have a doubt I'm here to help you

There wasn´t a .pít file on the i9070XXLQG
I found one from Odin3-v1.85.zip
Could be that why is wrong? I´m downloading one more... this time without the Kies sign. I bet that is the probelm.

it´s getting worst
Now when I turn on the phone, the screen looks with diagonals strips.
And only the download mode is working... no more for upload mode.
:crying:

Well... i was looking for that error... and could be the cable and the usb port.
I changed each one, and still don´t works.
Remove the SD, remove the sim, and every time get me the same error.
Anything else?

Which .pit you have? The name of the correct one is: GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G.pit for 8GB memory. Your have 8GB or 16GB of memory?

This one, but it came with the odin... I think.
u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
I will look for the correct one :good:

Always use specific pit file of a device, each Samsung device have it, for example I can't use i9000's pit file on i9070. Which model is? 8 or 16? Because the two models have different pit file

Now I know...
8gb model.

Okay, the correct file is the one that I said you, you can find it here on xda or with Google, I have it on pc (I'm writing with phone) but here in Italy is too late and I'm going to sleep if you can't find it I can upload it for you

It was not catastrophic. It would be if you flashed wrong firmware with Odin. :silly:

Hi, download a firmware here, extract the .tar.md5 file from downloaded zip then open Odin and press only "PDA" button, select extracted file, connect the device in Download Mode and press "START" button. Try if works in this way. Remember that if you have Jelly Bean installed you must reflash a Jelly Bean version.

thanksssss finally the phone restart !!! That wonder full now the touch screem is very very crazy i will like to now how to downgrade it to jb please !!!!

[Q] Need

Currently using my first android device! Samsung galaxy note 3 for att and I decided to root it. I am currently running 4.3 but want to update to 4.4 in hopes of fixing some gps issues i've been having. I tried to use ODIN to load up the stock 4.3 firmware but have been encountering some errors. My phone no longer turns on, when it does it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" please select recovery mode in kies and try again. I have downloaded keys 3 and tried to recover it using that but no luck. Am willing to post screens or answer any questions you guys may have!.

Are you on 4.4.2 or 4.3? If you're on 4.3, have you tried the MJ5 restore posted in the general section?

Im on 4.3. I've only tried using Odin and kies which have both failed me. what im about to try is "androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-unrootunbrick-at-galaxy-note-3.html".. can you link to your suggestion?

I'm not sure how to copy/paste links with Tapatalk, but if you go to the general sub form for the AT&T Note 3 on this website it should be on the first page. Look for a thread titled "MJ5 restore and optionally provides root" or something along those lines. It's a somewhat long process that can be intimidating at first, but if you read the directions and follow them exactly you should be good to go.
