[Q] Galaxy Note Flash Failure

Hey guys,
i get a big problem.
Today the official Galaxy Note ICS update comes out.
I flashed a stock Gingerbread-Rom, but i could not update to the ICS upgrade OTA.
So i wanted to flash an older Stock-Rom, but i flashed a ROM from my Galaxy S i9000 accidently with Odin.
The Process stopped at "Set partition" and nothing more happened. The Phone wasn't reacting either. So i took off the USB-cable and the battery.
Now my Galaxy Note don't ract on anything.
I tried to get into Download-Mode with 3-Button-Combo.
Nothing happened.
I tried it with a USB-Jig.
Nothing happened.
After that i tried the 3-Button-Combo, because i've read that maybe the Phone was on, but the screen doesnt works.
Odin doesnt recognized the Phone.
So i place the Phone in the Package and put it away.
Some Minutes ago i took it off the Package and it was very warm.
I dont take the battery out when i put it away.
Is it possible that the Phone is online and that there is a possibility that i can restore my Phone without sending it to Samsung?
Greetings

sounds like you have bricked it and will need to get samsung to repair it

[Q] Did I brick my P880 ???

Hello !!
I have just tried flashing my phone to V10A and I wanted to update to V10F (restoring to stock).
Now my phone is not starting and it starts ""vibrating"" and sometimes screen is orange and something blue ....
What should I do ?
downloaded .kdz from here: http://www.lg-phones.org/official-lg-optimus-4x-hd-firmwares-download.html
Followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861854
This is my first android phone so I need a lot of help. Did I completely brick it ? PLEASE HELP !

Woah, never mind. It was because I just inserted USB cable without the battery. I thought I'm screwed

Take a deep breath.... relax.....
Try doing it again.
Remember to put the battery back in after Step 5 in the guide

Most of the people here get our firmware from here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/

Thanks for posting, and I relaxed a little
Since this thread is already open, I would ask what should I choose at "PhoneMode" ? DIAG, CS_EMERGENCY or EMERGENCY ?

Stated in the guide. DIAG

Preparation:
Download the kdz file of your interest (any version will do) from http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
Download the necessary Windows softwares here http://www.4shared.com/zip/Gl2T6aLJ/KDZ_FW_UPD_P880.html
Download usbdriver for LG P880 from LG support website (LGUnitedMobileDriver - Ver 3.8.1)
Recovering steps:
[1]
Extract the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip anywhere (example: C:\KDZ\)
Install msxml.msi (located in \KDZ)
[2]
Install the usb driver (LGUnitedMobileDriver - Ver 3.8.1)
[3]
Reebot your softbricked Optimus 4X in SW Upgrade mode (remove the battery, hold the (vol -) key and plug the cable in, remember not to press the on/off button, just hold down (vol -) and plug the cable in.)
"S/W Upgrade" texts will appear on phone screen, release the holding of (Vol -) and wait for Windows to finish installing drivers for each component: modem, port, etc.
[4]
Open the Windows "Device Manager" > Modems > disable the LGE Mobile USB Modem
Make sure the driver for LG port is correctly installed
If you put off SIM card before flashing, you may find Windows failed to install modem driver, yet disabling USB modem is still recommended just in case.
[5]
Insert back your battery
[6]
Run as administrator Windows Enabler.exe (KDZ\Windows Enabler.exe) --->Make sure to right click and Run as administrator... not double-clicking
After run the app, an icon will appear on your tray, single-click on the icon until the "ON" text appears over the icon
[7]
Run as administrator KDZ_FW_UPD.exe ---> Make sure to right click and Run as administrator... not double-clicking
[8]
Locate the .kdz file that you want to flash
[9]
Select the necessary options:
Type: "3GQCT"
Phonemode: "DIAG"
[10]
Click on "Launch Software Update" and don't click on anything else
[11]
Ignore the error log, it's normal, just click OK over the notification and let the software-updating progress finish about 5-7 minutes
[12]
WAIT until your phone reboots automatically, unplug the cable. and click on EXIT
[13]
The automatic booting may bring you to recovery mode
If this is the case, just do a hard reset (wipe data). The phone in this recovery mode might respond slower than normal, just be patient to wait the phone to respond after making an option
If you've got only boot loop after flashing .kdz, just get to android recovery mode by press and hold [vol -] and [power], then do a hard reset and reboot again

Yes, actually flashed already, now updating to v10f. After doing this and restoring to factory, is there any way of telling device was ever rooted ?

try this apps
actually i think after flash and factory reset, u need to root back ur phone

Flashing through the guide you are following and the one given by razerblade17 will REMOVE all root. So your device will be unroot as far as first boot is concerned.
for rooting follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818502
AND IMPORTANTLY, factory reset your phone after root or you might later complain battery don't last.

Simply doing a factory reset will not remove root

I flashed something in German. It shows number 3 when shutting down and some apps with prefix 3 in German.
This is the most obvious way of telling I flashed something, isn't it ?

Did LG PC Suite do this when updating from v10a to v10f ?

To check if you have flashed it's kinda complicated.. follow my steps closely
1. Check if your phone is able to boot into the lockscreen.
2. Pull down the notification drawer, press the Gear icon beside the Date
3. Scroll down to the bottom
4. Go into About Phone
5. Scroll to the bottom. Check the Software version states V10_ (whatever you've tried to flash)
If nothing out of what u expect is found then sorry you've just flashed your phone.

After I flashed that German ROM, everything was almost the same until I factory restored it, than I found out it was German and used one of links from site you guys provided. It's working fine now.
Thanks !
btw: What exactly did you mean by restoring after root ?

do a factory reset from either the settings or recovery (hold vol down + power while phone's off until u see the recovery. Use vol up and down to navigate and power button to select) after you obtained root. You can do the reset anytime after root but until then you might get shiity battery life.

[Q] Galaxy Note GT-7000 Boot problem after normal restore

Hi
Firstly, I'm sorry about my incorrect english.
I have a big problem with my rooted Galaxy Note Stock ICS 4.0.4.
After a phone restore (done in the Options menu) I encountered a boot problem.
When I turn the phone on, I see the white Galaxy Note GT-7000 writing and then
the Samsung Galaxy boot logo which continues flashing all the time but the
OS isn't booting. There isn't a boot loop which restarts the phone, only the blinking
Samsung animation.
I do really not know much about Android, rooting, flashing etc so I don't know what
is the problem and what I can do to fix it.
Recently I did a data/factory reset and cache partition wipe in the recovery mode,
hoping that this could help, but that didn't change anything.
After that I flashed another stock rom (ICS 4.0.4 Switzerland (Swisscom)) with
Odin in download mode, but there's still the endless boot problem.
I read about brick and that its not recommended to wipe anyting.
What could be my problem and how could I resolve it?
I'm sorry if theres just another thread which speaks about the same problem, but I
didn't find anyone with the identical situation as mine.
I'm very grateful for any answers.

hmm.. it could be because of data partition corruption..
download this http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ukk00n20dahxxkp
place it on external SD.. boot into recovery and choose apply update from ext storage
once done. boot into recovery again.. now ... in the new CWM. do
factory reset., wipe cache partition
advanced menu> wipe dalvik cache
reboot

Hi,
thank you for your answer. But perhaps as I turned the phone on the first time
since yesterday (i didn't do anything since), I'm not anymore able to go into recovery mode
and the boot process ends just at the white Galaxy Note writing (without bootloop, there's
only the static text)
Only the download mode works fine, but obviously I cant install your file from there...

If you can get into download mode, better flash a stock ics rom first. After the flash is successful you can try to do the procedure as in my previous post.

I tried to flash different roms (also stock ones) but the download of the "factoryfs.img" doesn't finish.
The only thing I could do is to interrupt the downloading and restart from the beginning.
I read that this problem happens sometimes and that it could be resolved rebooting the phone and
the pc, but I didn't got it working
Do you know why it doesn't work? The first time I flashed successfully, but that was the first and the last time.
I don't even get an error or a fail notification...

If Odin stops at "factoryfs.img" you bricked your device.
(I wrote this and the following lines a few times now in the last days, but the different OP are consequently ignoring the message and try other intelligent approaches, in the end they will not succeed, because their Note is still bricked).
Solution: Samsung replaces your motherboard (that is the only real repair).
Workaround: eMMC scanner and repartition trick in hg42's threads.
Nothing else will help if your device is bricked.

You said something about loosing 3 GB repartitioning the memory. Its possible to revive the phone by this way?
Does anyone know approximately how much it will cost me to replace the motherboard of the Note?

download this PIT file http://d-h.st/FVh
now put the phone in download mode again, open odin and select the PIT file in the PIT tab. also make sure repartition is checked.
select the rom in PDA (if more that one file for rom, choose appropriate options)
connect the phone .. when the port is shows in odin flash again,,, check if this also stops at the same factoryfs

if you have warranty thats the first one to do. if not then there is a way by repartitioning the memory to skip the bad blocks, not a guaranteed method but works most of the time. cost of motherboard is high about 350-400$

One final try. If you are able to go recovery mode,pressing volume up, home, power buttons, flash abyss kernel 4.2, do all wipes and formats and flash a custom rom such as kingdroid.

Thank you for your attempt helping me. Perhaps the flashing still fails (factoryfs.img could not be downloaded entirely).
Damn, 350-400$ only for the motherboard is a lot, considering that I bought this almost new phone for around 340$...
Isn't there any other way to get rid of the "brick"? I would accept any loss of memory just to get the phone working...
By the way is it a soft- or a hardbrick?

[Q] Help Note 4 Bricked - Binary Blocked by Reactivation Lock & Boot Loops

I rooted my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 early last week using Odin v3.09 and cf auto root and flashed TWRP recovery using Odin. I disabled Knox as SuperSU suggested, and I created a back up after root. Saturday I flashed Dynamic Kat v 3.0, and go everything set up the way I wanted it. I didn't mess with any of the security settings, other than setting a pin for the lockscreen. This morning I rebooted into recovery to create a back up, but instead of going to recovery, I got a black screen with an exclamation point and an error message saying Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock. Secure Fail: Recovery that would just keep looping when I tried to restart it. I tried pulling the battery and restarting, but still had the same message at restart. I then tried to run odin and cf autoroot again, but got the same message and Odin said that it failed. Now the phone just keeps boot looping on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 powered by android screen.
If I go to the download mode the top of the screen says:
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product Name: SM-N910T
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: : Custom
Reactivation Lock(KK): On
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1 (4)
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
Secure Download : Enable
UDC Start
How can I fix this, what can I do?

1. download KIES 3 (for note 4)
2. Click tools>Firmware upgrade and initialization
3. Put phone into download mode (press Volume down+Home Button+Power Button and then volume up)
4. Connect your phone (it is OK if it is not recognized by KIES, just keep it connected)
5. Now do as it says by typing in your Phone model number (check the battery compartment).
6. Type in the S/N.
7. Let it do its business and download the firmware.
8. Once firmware is downloaded, It will start communicating with the phone.
9. You can see a blue progress line on the screen under the android guy.
10. Let it finish and restart.
You will have to re-root after this.

Thanks for all your help brotha. Kies wasn't working for me. I used odin to flash cf root and pulled battery and started into download mode pressed down to cancel and it boot up for me.

Try entering the model number and S/N and pressing Ok before connecting the phone, or double check to make sure 0s aren't Os or vice versa. It took a minute or 2 to get started on my phone, and took awhile to complete.

This happened to me before and this is what i did. Easier than messing kies I think. Flash cf auto root in odin with the reset and auto reboot unchecked. Very important to uncheck those. It will fail to flash. Pull out your battery and put back in. It will boot as normal. Now go into security and uncheck that reactivate crap. That feature should be disabled completely custom roms to prevent this occurance i think.

I agree, it wasn't checked by default when I rooted the phone, nor when I flashed another ROM, so I didn't even think to check when I flashed Dynamic Kat, but I'll be double checking gem here on out.

Sorry I don't have time to help you work through this. But you're not bricked. Do the process again. Try switching up your usb ports and cables. Try clicking the bootloader check and try loading the csc file when you flash everything. And hold the buttons longer than you think you should to return to download mode. Galaxy Note 8 screen is normal. You are likely already rooted and can get away with only redoing the second part.

You've tried all these things? You've restarted your phone? It seems you are really pretty close and could just power through. But I don't see any reason you can't return to stock. That may take you longer if you don't have the file and if you don't know how to get back.

After this failed message my phone just stuck on Download mode and dont restart by itself. I decide to use combo to power it off and turn it on again into download mode.
2nd.
I place the other 3 files in odin And flash it, following the steps from Samfail thread.
Reboot and get stuck on this screen now what can be ?

I would Odin back to stock and start over. When it happened to me I had to use regular Odin to flash it. And then I started over and got it to work.

Thanks for the info, ill give it a go and report back.

Still trying to flash rev2.5 maybe thats where i went wrong? Its too late now. I can only get into upload and download mode. Trying to flash stock but having fail issues in reg odin and comsy. Im actually so lost now that I dont even know what to flash. Bricked? Anyone have any ideas? Ive tried everything i have seen on this thread and others with no luck. My phone displays all of the same pictures as in page 1. Im have ATT if that helps.
Thanks and sorry if i misread something to get to where i am now. Ive been doing different root methods since i had a droid x. Never had this issue before when flashing with odin. Ive always worked my way out. Maybe i need a break.....

now, after trying to get back into download mode and the samsung logo popped up and was flashing from light to dark. after about 5 minutes it said "android is starting", a few minutes later it went to a charging screen. now i cant get anywhere... lol..
battery died

Charge the phone leave it in charger.
Get into download mode and flash your stock image with Prince comsy Odin with the data bootflag and the bootloader flag ticket, you can do this by adding a 1 in the .ini file. Flash the stock image and then reboot
Then if you want try to flash again the 2.5 version
If you are an unlocked carrier make sure to flash the csc file I posted in the samfail thread somewhere
I had the same problem you had until I flashed the unlocked csc file

Same here but WORSE
The same thing happened to me except mine doesn’t have that message on second screen that yours does it reboots and system mount failure and to top it all off IT ENABLED FRP LOCK SECRURE FOLDER ALL THAT how can I possibly. Bypass this so I can reflash the stock firmware I do root phones as a side hustle I’m pretty well known I’m my town for being the tech guy. This isn’t my phone but I DO have the email and password I just can’t disable the frp is there a way UCSB deactivate it on my google account perhaps?
