which kernel and rom were you using ?
can you get into download mode and recovery ?
you may just have to flash a rom but give your full information first here

As rraaka said. More info please. Is it a GT-N7000? Your previous posts relate to desire HD.

Did you use CWM.zip to format/wipe at all? (The one from YouTube and other places)

any solution??? i had been research from the internet ...they said it was superbrick ...

If you are sure about being bricked then try this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886 ask hg42 for his opinon
maybe you have used the wrong pit file.
do you have warranty ?

I'm afraid not rraka. This is how the vast majority of super bricks occur. (Me and HG42 included).Most of the rest is flashing ROMS from unsafe kernel.(even eybee did it flashing PA from MIUI). But yes, you are right. It's HG42, warranty, or pay for new mobo/phone.

i Just accidently format the emmc only ... Really nothing can help ?

Shoey, it seems he was bricked before using pit file. But if you use the standard pit file on top of a brick it makes matters worse.
with a little patience one can overcome the emmc brick, unless one has warranty and prefer to go to sammy for mb replacement. i really dont know where he stands.
which you tube video is it ? cant we do something to bring it down ?

try getting into download mode and flash a stock GB rom from pc odin without any pit file and repartition unticked. report back

Well you can try flashing pre-rooted GB from Dr. Ketan with PC odin, but the prognosis is not good. He also has proper PIT file for note1. Perhaps someone can provide link, or just search...
Edit. Just saw your post above mine Rraaka
Yes, If no warranty, and GB flash gets stuck, Then it's time to pay a visit to Hg42.

You didn't solve your problem - you only used a workaround. The price you have to pay is what you mentioned: reduced memory.

You would have to be in the bootloader to flash that. Tell me what the name of the file is and I will tell you how to flash it via fastboot.

efs.autobackup
And thanks a lot really appreciate it :highfive:
I don't even know how to get to the bootloader on this phone though if you could help me with that as well.
Know how to get into recovery and download mode :good:

Hey, forget about the boot loader and download "ktool" from the play store. This app should make it easy for you to restore your backup.

[Q](SS) Why won't my phone fully boot?

Pretty sure I just bricked my phone for the first time.
Installed SS, rebooted the phone which brought me right to SS, did a backup, clicked the boot options and clicked Slot-1 and waited for it to finish doing what it does, installed KN0XRAID ROM on there, rebooted, now it sits at the Main Samsung Galaxy NOTE 3 splash with the padlock and won't ever load. The factory recovery does nothing for me and I already tried a reset. I can get into download mode as well.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what happened? Possibly due to my 64gb SD? Did I miss a step?
Thanks.

Press and hold the power and volume up, that should get you in recovery, then restore.... Hope this helps

I had to hold the power+vol-up+home to get into the recovery. Without pressing the home button nothing happens.

Okay, are toy able to restore from the back up you made? If not then I think you have to Odin back to stock...

I thought the proper Odin files we need to do that aren't available though? I have the latest firmware which is ml9 or something? Hate being hypocritical but I don't have much time to do my research lately. Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks to those of you who have been generous enough to try and help.

Yes. Had a few hiccups but everything seems to be in order with the battery drain insanity that came along with the wonderful MJ5 update.

Just use the mj5 restore as long as your not on official kitkat. If your on official kitkat then bestbuy is your only option.
