Thanks for the kick start help brother. Get well sooon ...
Go and read Entropy's sticky on the galaxy note general page. It has up to date news. It seems. Kernel's that were thought safe are not. He says there are only a couple that are 100%.
Don't do any wipes with cwm to be safe. See what he says and use a kernel he recommends. Putting it right involves pit files and is very technical. There is a post in the note general section on this. Read that and pm the guy if you think you are up to going that way . Me I'd just read Entropy's sticky ,make it safe and buy a big SD card and use an app to link it to the built in SD.
I'm going to read what he says in detail my self.
I should not be using this in hospital, I've been told to stop
Good luck

Nope its the way brick revived note is. my be get a bigger sd card
ahhhh thanks bro will get a bigger sd card..
no probs... motherboard replacement is the only way
I have the same situation. Only 8gig of memory. I don't know much about rooting. If i unroot, will it come back to 16gb?
No, the damage is done, you'll never get back original space without mobo replacement.

I sure hope not one of us here is responsible for reselling such revived phones without labelling it as such...

I bought that phone used. And i discovered couple days after that it was like that. I contacted Samsung but they do not take care of phone that is not Canadian model. They are all the same, Apple, Samsung, Sony, LG, and so on. Products are mostly made in China, sold around the world but no service for them.
Thanks for the info guys....
Unfortunately theres no solution to get the memory back, You could either ask the seller for a refund as it is not as described (unless he originally stated it had been bricked?)
Or make do and get bigger sd card (as said above)
Theres also a way of swapping internal memory for external, So for example: your 32gb sd card will become internal memory, For ROM and Apps etc and the current 8gb internal will become your external, for music, movies, pics ect.
A quick search will churn up a few results. Its not a easy task but it can be done, But if the space doesnt bother you then just make do with it untill you switch devices.

Oh, then you can't install android on it, because this phone has really really low specs, I mean 128 mb RAM are nothing. You will have to buy a new device

"Best ROM" threads are banned on XDA. Read the Dev threads, see what appeals to you and try them out.
so how could i know that the ROM support my langauage and has a minimum ram consumption ?

^^^^ This ^^^^
You can't know everything - but read first and you might find likely candidates. Otherwise you will have to accept a compromise, which is almost always necessary with Custom ROMs anyway.
As for 'minimum RAM consumption', you would be well advised to go and do some reading. 'Free RAM' is wasted RAM in Android. The OS knows how to use all the memory available and then free space if it is needed.
Thanks Simon i will read

Thanks for replying.
I know that the phone isnt good for gaming but I want to know how to do all those stuff.
And maybe flashing the stock firmware again with a modified kernel could help for the meantime.
If you could help be and teach me how to do that minding my android version then I would be greatful :victory:.
