Hello,
I have read many threads and have tried many solutions with no avail. I am giving out $20 (may not be much but still an insentive) to whomever that will help me solve this.
I have 2 vibrants that keep booting to the Galaxy S i9000 intro and keeps rebooting there. I can't get into the recovery mode, but I can get into download mode and ODIN works just fine.
Please someone help

Just flash another firmware with Odin.Download a stock firmware,click re partition in odin,load all 3 files and pit and flash it.
You see sometimes after flashing with odin in some cases you might have to do a factory reset to boot the phone,since you cant go in recovery you will need to flash a complete stock firmware.This will probably work.

Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950
and flash this firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883568
The people above me pretty much said it.
Go into download mode, connect to odin, download a firmware that will work with your phone, flash your phone. That should fix it.
Best of luck! Tell me how it goes
K. Just came back from bell corporate store. Said I can't do anything without a receipt so until I get a hold of my friend that I bought this off of, I will try what you guys have suggested.
By the way, the gentleman (who seemed very knowledgable) tried flashing my phone on the spot behind the counter and now the phone boots with a black screen and the bottom keys glow when pressed.
When entering recovery mode <3e> and try to format internal sd-card, i get the following:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
I will now try what you guys have suggested and keep you updated.
tried kewjoe's suggestion but no luck. Any other suggestions?
Time for a replacement - looks like you've got the ever-so-popular internal SD card death.
If you take it into a Bell store they'll send it out and you should get a new one sent back to you in the mail. Bonus if you have any scratches on the phone or anything.

I've had that problem, shouldn't be too hard to fix.
Flash the Rom JPC with a 512 pit, make sure re-partition is ticked.
Then you can go back the original rom you was on without a pit and without re-partition ticked.
Make sure you do all them steps
Hope this has helped!

I had this issue when flashing from JL2 to another
- some of your partitions got messed, first boot odin, put your phone into download mode and make sure odin see's it. Select JL2 in the PDA secion and click the phone boot loader update
- after it's flashed, find the speedmod from hardcore on xda and flash that, also in the pda part, make sure everything else is default so it's best to close odin and reopen it
- after you have the speed mod on you should be able to get back into recovery.
- almost there, flash the stock 2.1 on your phone this has some data that no other rom has, once you flash that you can flash JL2 over top once again and you should be good to go
- msg me if you have issues
is this issue still on ongoing?
try this (if you haven't tried it before):
1. Launch Odin
2. Put the necessary stock firmware + PIT file that goes with it
3. tick re-partition (not sure what partition you are currently in so that's why I'm suggesting repartition)
4. Go into DL mode and plug the phone in via USB
5. Flash it
6. Once done, go flash hardcore's latest speedmod kernel via Odin again
7. Go to cwm recovery (hardcore's speedmod will give you this)
8. wipe partition cache+factory reset + clear dalvik cache
9. reboot system (will take a several minutes to boot out of the Galaxy S screen)
10. Hopefully your problem is solved.
11. If my method worked for you, PM me. I'll ask you to give that $20 to a local charity of my choice. Street kids needs some love too in the new year
Had this problem yesterday. I wrote in this post how to fix it. Looks like similar advice to what others are telling you.

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

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

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.

I am in serious trouble and need urgent help!!
I own an international Galaxy GT I9000 and recently rooted and afterwards attempted to flash XXJW4 software on the phone. Upon trying this I realised that my model is one of the unlucky ones as you cannot enter download mode via the three-button combo, neither can you enter recovery. Since I have some experience with Android, I used adb commands to reboot the phone into download mode.
Here is where my problem lies...
I flashed the wrong file using Odin. Instead of flashing the JW4_JW4_JW4 file, I flashed a file named XXJW4_Root_AA.tar... Needless to say, this didn't go down well. The phone is in a boot loop now, rebooting at the Samsung logo (not the boot animation). ADB cannot find the device, neither can odin, and no one seems to be able to help... Is the final solution a a USB Jig? I am in South Africa, so finding one here is hell..
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
If you can't get into download mode, USB jig is your best bet.

Okay, I have been reading up on those but I can't seem to find any resistors in my area! Also, if I do manage to get download mode going, will this ensure that my PC will recognize the phone? Odin and my PC recognized the device just fine, but Kies was not functional (before the phone got bricked)
The jig will solve your problems at no time.It saved me!

Just find the Galaxy S drivers from somewhere, my computer does this sometimes, have u got windows 7 running on your PC? sometimes my laptop with windows 7 cant find my device, but my one with Windows Vista always manages to find it, try a different PC first. Once you found the device just flash a full stock version, like XXJVT for example, something with the pit., CODE, CSC and Modem file

Odin does not reformat /data and /cache and /dbdata back to rfs, so the kernel cannot mount it, hence the bootloop. Just do a factory reset from stock recovery and your good to go

Okay thanks for the info... So because I am not able to do the three button fix do you recommend that I jig the phone, and flash the three button fix, after that enter recovery and do a wipe? No need to flash the new firmware? (Which I do plan to do but only after I can get the phone up and running again with the jig)
If you can't find the resistors, you can buy the jig off ebay for about 2 quid. I know it's expensive for a 1p resistor and a 1p case but how much is your phone worth to you
The jig will definitely sort it.

True. I am able to make one though as it's simple enough. The question is what do I do once I get into download mode? Three-button fix or the new firmware? Would XXJW4 be good or should I get the XXJVU firmware instead?? Don't want to make another NoOb mistake. I am pretty much golden when dealing with the Motorola stuff!!

Odin must flash over stock rom / pda, phone, csc / pit with 512 and re-partition, preferably back to your stock 2.3.4 region.potom cf root-root kernel version of your firmware., Semaphore kernel and stock rom jw4 , 5.6 ..

hello guys , as many fellows do, i tried to root my galaxy note and then after rooting on STOCK ICS, i did a data wipe/factory reset
then the phone was frozen, after i reboot, the phone shows "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-7000" and nothing after that,
i could go to download mode but not recovery mode,
after trying and trying and trying, i thought it was over, i sent it to Samsung, but they asked me to pay about 300$ to replace motherboard,
after days and days and days of searching, i found the solution
here how it goes:
1)download bit files (attached)
2)download GB stock rom (search for it)
3)download odin (attached)
reboot the phone into download mode (vol down + bower + home) buttons, connect it to PC,
flash the rom along with a bit file using odin,
but you should use a specific bit file, try one by one, from down up, (mine worked for factoryfs files)
this will restore your bricked MMC, not totally but at least ignore the corrupted sectors and use the good ones
people are going to say what about that huge number of files, would i afford trying it all ?
i say yes, just try to flash ROM with pit file, if it stucks at the factoryfs for more than 1 minute, then use the next pit file, and one by one,
those files restore mmc within specific range of sectors , so you should try them all until you find your right one,
GOOD LUCK ALL

Waste of space.. This its well known and has its own thread in general section... And it's not a fix.. It's a partial solution you will still have a burned chip... This thread its pointless and misleading... Reported
Besides you gotta be really "slow" to spend days and days and days "searching" for a solution when the pit file method to partially recover a note its always in the top 10 threads in general section..
Tapatalking on my n7000
Hahahaha its not the super brick its the sodt brick i have landed in such situation thrice and to mention no pit file is required in this case. Only the stock rom and odin solves the problem. Thread already present.
U didnt need months to search this this only an open eye browsing in the xda forum )). Btw i am happy ur phone is working again.

I screwed up big time, I didn't read things properly and I tried to flash an old PIT file from the S1 onto my S3 just out of habit I guess, because that's what you used to do.
I can still get into download mode, and recovery, but my phone is just stuck on boot in pananoidandroid. Is there anything I can do?
Service centre paid for repair or buy a new motherboard and fit it yourself .
