You're definitely not hard bricked since your phone still does something when it's plugged in -- so there's hope. Keep trying your homemade jig and see if that works eventually (it's very frustrating trust me). USB combos don't work for download mode?
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!!

First you have to try basic things ...
if you run CWM .. go to recovery mode ..
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Reboot Now ...
Doesn't Work ?
Go to Download Mode ...
Flash your Stock ROM again ///
Should work fine now

bad thing, you can flash stock rom tar with Odin to restart Root process and flash cm12, but you have nandroid back-up done before.
can you tell us more? what is your phone model? and which way did you flash cm12
