You can't brick your phone by flashing with Odin (you've to be a complete idiot to do it). Just download an official ROM from sammobile or live.samsung-updates and flash the .md5 file as PDA in Odin

I gave it a shot but it is still crashing! Any other ideas? Also i have found out something: If i keep my battery below 70% i wont crash. But if i get under 40% it results in boot loop.

Make sure that your battery isn't damaged (if it's damaged then buy a new battery) and maybe it's a hardware problem?

Sounds like a damaged battery to me. Try one from another S3 Mini or Ace II and see if it works.

Not a battery problem! We have tested multiple methods including the spinning one!
Also this can be either because the 4.1.2 update that seems to have broken the so called "NAND memory". Im also going to say one thing: This started happening to many S3 minis when they passed the 1 year age.
My friend also HAD this problem on his old S3 mini but he buyed an iPhone Later.

[Q] [HELP] Galaxy note bricked

I was updating my galaxy note to ICS with ODIN3. And on the final, just stopped on HIDDEN.img and keep this way till my battery runs out. Now the phone only power on with download mode, and I cannot flash any rom with ODIN, I tried to flash the ICS from the chinese link, from the sammobile.com, and I also tried others stock roms. Or the same thing happens or just fail or finish without flashing the rom =/
if you can get into download mode you can flash a stock rom using odin
try flashing a stock kernal...or unsecure one..

In proper terms:
DONT PANIC. You're not bricked, just borked.
Pull the battery and leave it out for 5 minutes.
Put the battery in and plug the phone into a WALL CHARGER.
Allow it to charge for 2 hours MINIMUM. VERY VERY IMPORTANT. Especially if you let the battery die previously.
Put battery in and go into download mode.
Connect Odin to the phone. One you have the yellow box letting you know it's connected flash a STOCK ROM from here.
Profit.
Well, I'm not at home now. But I already tried to flash a stock rom, and nothing happens, it finishes with 0 instals and 0 errors or just stop on HIDDEN.img. And I use a universal battery charger on my battery

Then you are doing something wrong...
Swyped from a white note.
If it gets stuck at hidden then most probably you are using the wrong pit file as there are 2.. 1 for the 32gb and 1 for the 16gb..

Well, I didn't think about that !!!
On the ICS I downloaded, there was the pit for 32gb, but mine is 16. But I dont remember if I flash the pit. I'll try to flash the 16gb pit again !!!
I'm at almost same position. I have the same screen problem, phone not turning on after Samsung logo.
I'm trying to go into download mode, it says low battery. So, I try to charge it, but it's not charging at all. Tried a battery charger, didn't work as well.

Well, I used a universal battery charge to charge my battery.
I flash the pit 16gb alone, and then I tried do flash the rom and it just get stuck on setupconnection!!!
Well I fixed it.
I removed the sd card and the chip. Downloaded odin3 v.1.83 on 4shared (really easy to find it) because I read this on sammobile.com:
For those user that stuck at hidden.img,kindly proceed with Odin 1.83..100% guaranteed because i’ve try it and it works perfectly..thanks sammobile..
greghart_mirrus
and it work !!! *_*
I installed the ICS, but is full of bugs... So I installed the stock rom again (2.3.6) and its full of errors too =/
did you do a full wipe and cache clearing ?

Hi,
I also encountered this same issue (stuck at hidden.img).
and i also tried to restore the stock rom via odin but it's still stuck at hidden.img
i can only flash the custom rom via CWM but internal SD card is not readable. Do you have any idea to fix this issue, please? thanks for yr help.

Did u try to flash the rom with odin3 v1.83??? I did this and didnt stuck on the hidden.img. I flashed this rom http://www.mirorii.com/fichier/3/501208/I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK-tar.html
I am still stuck at same point. Trying to charge the battery with battery charger, and put it back, the phone says low battery can't get in download mode. I plug it into to wall charger it doesn't seem it's charging at all. I don't know what I'm supposed to do ? Should I buy new battery
Hi! I noticed you guys were having problems with ICS. CLICK HERE to check out my guide to get ICS working easily. You can flash the chainfire repack with the attached 16gb pit file (unzip it first) to get ICS. But I suggest you start with step 1 from the guide to get a stable baseband for your ICS.
PS. I have also attached ODIN v1.85.

ur phone still ok but u need do manually ...
1st-take out ur battery
2nd-put it back
3rd-Put your Galaxy Note into download mode by holding down Volume Down, Center button, and Power button together for about 10 seconds.
after that press volume up , then connect ur device to odin , flash new fresh rom without pit file
Your phone seems to be totally unresponsive; that sounds like the ultimate hard brick to me.
Take it to the nearest service centre.
USB jig
Did you try putting your phone to download using USB jig ? There are many articles relating to that . Sometimes the phone may not charged when its bricked . So get it charged from somewhere else , or may be from your friend who has note and try using USB jig . It might work , no guarantee , try your luck , else be ready to spend almost half what you paid for your phone to change the motherboard !

I don't think that the problem is battery, It was 55% yesterday evening, but I haven't friend with a Gnote
I haven't a JIG but I will try to make one if I can find a 300K resistor
Can I find a 300K resistor into a old none working device ? (Like a old radio, tv, telecommand ?)

similar type of brick....and the suggestion given by the SSC is better to buy a new mobile since they have to replace the main board....(without warranty)..and cost will be around (Dhs.1150) that is almost half the price of new mobile....
btw i have tried jig also but no luck...
I have the same problem with my galaxy note.
i treid everything no reaction
pls has somebody an idea for me ?
Same problem with me.
Weird, I had a I91000 for a year, flashed everything and never had any problems. Never got close to bricking it.
I did this:
Rooted it with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 - OK
Ran again CWM.
I put the latest nightly from CM9. When I started flashing it, it hung. I turned off my cell (no other option, it was stuck), now it won't turn on.
Whoa... What did I do wrong? I admit I was anxious and didn't take the proper care I should've, I was very anxious, but, wow... I wasn't expecting it to be so easily brickable.
Do I have any hope left?

[Q] Hardbricked? Any way out of here?

Hi guys,
I'm in a problem with my GNote... I am (or was) running Android 4.0.4 stock from Samsung, then today completely out of the blue the phone froze and I had to reset, then it was stuck in the Samsung Galaxy Note logo screen. I tried removing the SIM and SD card, etc but nothing. Then I tried reinstalling the ROM via Odin but it got stuck in "Writing NAND...". Then I read in a forum that I could try a repartitioning with the PIT for my memory size (16 GB). I tried this but it got disconnected in the middle (the cable connector is a bit unstable) and now I can't get it to boot ANYTHING. The screen is completely black and Odin doesn't recognize the phone, can't get into recovery mode, etc.
Any idea? My tel company told me that it has a little marking that looks like the phone was hit and so they can't accept it for warranty tech service. I will try Samsung Service Center directly but before that, is there anything I can do???
Thanks!!

Is it starting up? If note just remove ur battery for around 10 mnts, then insert that try pressing vol down + power + home for 20 seconds and then press vol +, just check if ur pc could detect the device and also if the battery is enough charged.
If this detects ur device, u have chances or else only jig is the option.
Hope 4 the best
Press THANKS if this helped u :fingers-crossed:
I don't think even jig is an option now... the phone screen is completely black, it doesn't even get into the logo screen... going to Samsung right now.
jig mite help you.. cuz even when the phone doesnt boot up .. the jig mite force it to download mode.. check with that.. if not then get it to the samsung service.. how did u reset... were u rooted? stuck on NAND write is not a good sign

Why not?
The Jig costs 2-3 US$ from Ebay, China...
Give it a try, its simple:
- remove battery
- put the Jig in
- wait a bit and put the battery back
- wait, pull battery out, pull Jig out
- connect the phone via USB to your PC, put battery back and start Odin
And if you are a lucky man you can flash a new firmware via Odin.
If you have an corrupt bootloader, Jig helps.
If there is a hardware problem you need a new maniboard.
How you described your Note there is possible only a corrupted bootloader ( Jig ) or a dead mainboard ( Samsung repair ).
Hmmm I'd say there is some serious problem. Originally (yesterday) my Note was working OK and then spontaneously (I didn't do anything or bump it or anything like that, I was just writing an email) it froze and so I used the reset combination (power+home buttons), then it entered into boot loop, it started and when it got to the Galaxy Note logo it rebooted, it did this 2 or 3 times and then it was stuck in Note logo. I took out the battery, put it back in, the same. I waited 10 minutes with the battery out, again the same results.
But I could get into recovery mode, so I tried re-flashing my ROM (LRQ Samsung stock from Germany, this was the only flash I did in my Note since last year when I bought it, I had 2.3.6 and then last month I updated to 4.0.4 via Kies official download and then using Odin I flashed the LRQ Samsung 4.0.4 stock because it has new features like the 3D gallery) but it got to "Writing NAND..." or something like that. I tried this several times and it was always the same.
So I read somewhere that I could try repartitioning the memory using Odin and the PIT file for my memory size (16GB), I tried this but just when I was in the process, the USB connector (which is a bit loose in my Note) disconnected for a second and reconnected and it was all. Phone dead. I'm guessing there's nothing there in the memory to boot from or to... so I'm taking it to Samsung.

bro Chaostar
your Gnote is totally got a called ( brick ) same my gnote but it is revive via repartition.. with 2GB loss
first you do is make sure your battery is full charge and forced your Gnote into DOWNLOAD MODE.....
how to forced to download mode?
1 press home button + volume down then press power button,, if result is not lucky...... go to second way
2 use jig for download mode
(a) remove batt,,
(b) then attach the jig to usb port
(c) then put back the batt,,, then wait almost 60second
(d) after 60sec, remove jig then press volume up,..... one press only.... it shown black screen but the system status is download mode.
(e) open odin pc, connect your Gnote,,, see and wait.. if you see your gnote is detected,,,, your welcome you have a chance.. then flash kernel only ( safe_CM9_kernel.tar) then reboot to recovery then flash the JB:CM10:HYBRD] PARANOIDANDROID [2.20 or follow the repartition procedure,,
( f) what if not detected?.......... don't worry..:highfive: i have last option for you... this is revive your Gnote via (JTAG)..
GUDLUCK and see you..
Well I already left my Note in my cell company, it is within warranty period and I hope they can fix it. The only problem is that it has a slight marking that looks like a bump on the side and they said that this could void the warranty, but they will give me a budget if it has to be paid for, I hope they don't have to change the whole mainboard, and if they want to charge me I'll take it to Samsung directly as a last chance. After that, I guess it's jig.
What really gets to me is that this started as a sort of spontaneous error, I didn't do anything to the phone before the initial freezing and unability to boot. The problem is that then I tried the PIT stuff. Well, let's see what happens.
Thanks for your suggestions!!

T-mobile - Note 4 keeps rebooting even after updating to new firmware.

Hi Guys,
I have used my T-mobile Note 4 for years since it came out. I have replace the batteries once, but like a month ago when there was an update my phone keep restarting and turning off. I then had to get another phone because of that I still cant get it to restart even after I bought a new battery, updated the firmware. can some one guide me the right way to do this right. I think I am not doing the flashing the right way.. with oldin, and the correct firmware. after I do that I get this installing updates andriod show and it stops and reboots again. please help. thanks
- this phone was never locked before
- Replaced the battery once
- one day when there were a bunch of apps that needed update with probably 35% battery I let it update and after that it kept rebooting
- So installed the twrp recovery.tar.md5 from here that didnt help
- So then from sammobile I downloaded the latest firmware and installed it, that didnt help too
So the question is can I just wipe the whole phone and start fresh? -

download and install this using odin

Thank you for your response, unfortunately this didn't work for me I did install the latest firmware , but the phone doesn't go to the stock recovery mode for some reason and keeps rebooting. it does say Recovery booting... but it shuts off. so I have no way to do that even if I keep pressing the volume up, power and the home buttons pressed then release the home and power and keep pressing the volume button.

So I tried this yesterday evening,
- I did install the latest firmware which was suggest in by one of the comments above :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651442761499080
- then flashed it with philz recovery and did the factory reset and rebooted it but no luck.
- when restart the phone, its shows the Samsung note 4 logo then shuts off.
im afraid to say that your note 4 might bebroken now. If you go to the note 4 reddit, this has happened to many people and has something to do with the solder degrading after a few years iirc. Best thing you can do is buy a motherboard replacement for around 60 on eBay if nothing else works. I have replaced 3 note 4 motherboards for people i know that this has happened to.

- Ran into another issue where I am getting this 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.'
- For some reason the Oldin froze and I had no way to stop the download process.
- I tried using Kies to install the recovery but cannot, I did look for SM-N910T ...but nothing.

^^^This. I just had to replace our two Note 4 after years of service over the last two months. Same symptoms as yours. It is most assuredly hardware related.
Even "better", from the two replacements sent by TMo, one failed within the week. The replacement just abruptly shut off and doesn't turn back on unless the battery is removed for 20 min. or so.
However, once it turns on it freezes. Try to boot to recovery, it freezes before even loading it up. One time the screen display even corrupted on me.
So, tldr, it is time for a replacement MoBo. Good luck!

You have a bad battery, replace with this one dont buy off the eBay they are fake

The new battery may initially help, but it sounds suspiciously like the mmc is beginning to fail. Wakelock app set to option 4. Only thing that worked for me.

Good luck, my friend!

Why is it that the When I restart the phone show the Samsung Galaxy note 4 powered by Android screen and then when it has to go to the next screen the Samsung (pink) only the S partially shows, freezes and then the blue light comes on and the light now stays on, screen go blank and stays that way even if I do a restart by pressing the volume down + power,
