[Q] Help with G-Note Revival...

Hi Guys...
I got a Galaxy Note GT-N7000, and its been more than a week i tried to revived it using the any method i've found in this great forum.
So let me tell u guys the stories of my Note :
1. It was always updated OTA so the last ROM i used is Indonesian Note ICS 4.0.4
2. One day (last Friday) while i was browsing Internet using it, it suddenly got very hot, and the battery seems like draining very fast
3. In the mid day it reboot by its self, and entering countless reboot... a never ending reboot
4. So i tried to enter recovery, and yes sadly i've might triggered the emmc bugs by doing factory reset. But i'm not sure i've done it or not, coz i've a CWM recovery installed.
5. Anyway then i tried to flash stock room found in dr.ketan's thread...many thanks to him for those collection using PC ODIN and i got the "factoryfs" stuck problem
6. I also tried to flash countless kernel over and over, tried install Stock GB and ICS, tried RocketROM, CM10 and it all failed. In dowload mode i still got a Stock Firmware installed. So any ROM i've tried to install using Kernel didn't succed.
7. So i decided to take it to Samsung Service Center nearby, and i found that my battery is BAD, it wont charge (wonder would it because of the battery i got that problem in the first place). Since i got this Note for around 8 months, and the warranty for the battery is 6, the make me bought the new one, ordered and available in 2 days.
8. So I get back to the service center, put the new battery restarted the phone, and it stop on samsung logo (no yellow triangle there). So I complained, and they look into it, and said we may try to install new software, but there's a risk that your Note got damaged. They said the risk is mine and they wont have any responsible for it.
9. So furiously i bargain about my Warranty (12 month), coz the said that i've updated the ROM my self, so i explained to them that it was OTA's update, all i do was press YES, and they said even OTA official update will cancel my warranty. Its getting weird, i got angrier and they just said its their company procedure so there's nothing they can do to help me. So Samsung Indonesia will cancel warranty for every attempt to update the ROM OTA's, only their service center is allowed to do so. Wasted my valuable working hours there...
10. So i get back, determined i officially will do anything to get this Note life back. So i started to look at Forrest1971 (many thanks to him) thread about bricked note and tried many kernel and got one working with adb (T-Kernel V0.9) doing the checking and found faulty partition 9 and 10 and doing the step and finally got the partition fixed. Lost 3GB of space.
Then here came the real problem :
1. Still wont work with ODIN, stuck at Factoryfs with stock ROM GB N7000DXLC2_N7000OLBLC2_N7000DXLC1_HOME.tar and ICS N7000DXLR5_N7000OLBLR2_N7000DXLR1_HOME.tar. But working fine flashing Kernel so my guess it is not the connection problem. I've tried on 1 PC, 2 Laptops, 2 OS (Win7 32bit and WinXP 32 bit) still the same.
2. Then i tried to flashing via Kernel (CWM, Abyss, T-Kernel, CM9 Safe Kernel) i got to do trial and error coz not all ROM can be installed using any given Kernel. Seems that T-Kernel v0.9 is working for most of the ROM. Sorry i didn't keep note about the kernel-rom coupling. Here is the list of ROM i've tried :
cm-9.1.0-n7000 + gapps-ics-20120429-signed
cm-10-20121209-NIGHTLY-n7000 + gapps-ics-20120429-signed
RocketROM v2 XXLS7_stock_odexed
SuperNexus-N7000-BUILD5-20121017 + gapps-jb-20121011-signed
RocketROM_ICS_XXLPY_v1
3. All of those ROM came out with the same problem :
- Freezing on the Samsung/Mod Logo Screen (Got very HOT)
- Entering the "Andoid is Upgrading" and then updating Apps but stuck at random number (# of ###) (Got very HOT), i've tried to wait overnight but stay on the same number
- Succeeded boot up but Freeze after couple of minute (Got very HOT)
4.All those problem seems happened randomly, but most of the time it happened like this :
Stuck and Logo Screen - Reboot by me - Stuck and Upgrading - Reboot by me - Boot fine, but freeze very soon - Reboot by me, and back to the Logo stuck... (but still sometime its just random), the only thing same that it got very hot.
5. This is my last resort, i'll try to flash Supernexus, CM9 or CM10 without the GApps. Now i'm on Supernexus ROM, not yet freeze while i'm typing this. But without the GApps i wont have G-Play, and cant reinstall Apps that i bought in G-Play. Dilemma...
So any thoughts or advices will be greatly appreciated...
I really like this phone, wish i can revived this phone... :fingers-crossed:
Thanks B4 for any comment...

Well, i guess no one have the same problem here...
I'm running the rocket ROM ICS right now, this is the one ROM that got me closer to "STABLE" state.
Still got self reboot, most of the time when i'm using browser (Android, FF, Chrome), or after a long run on youtube or downloading something.
I've also tried the PA Experia ROM by AmniX : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100083
But it was worse than rocket ROM ICS, more likely have the same symptom with the CM9/10 i've tried.
So seems like i've to manage to use this defect/handicapped gadget... :fingers-crossed:

I would complain to the service center. It's absolutely rubbish that an ota update voids warranty, they're lying through their teeth and I wouldn't stand for it. So long as you have no trace of custom rom or root, they are required by law to fix the phone or replace it within 12 month warranty. If you'd left traces of root or Cwm that's a different story.
Try a second repartition, often a first scan will not find all bad sectors, run through it again just to be safe. Also, after repartitioning its usually the case that stock or tw based Roms won't work without freezes and reboots because they occupy too much space on the emmc. You're best with cm or aokp Roms.

[Q] Xperia T FW 9.1.A.0.489 Bug(Solved)

Hi Guys
Follow your developments since a while and thanks a lot for all your hints and tipps
Now i face a serious problem with my "T" and couldnt find a solution. Got new FW .489 couple of days ago and since then my phone keeps on freezing all the time, not matter which app or function i use, and reboots. not a full reboot, it lasts for just a few seconds.
Freezer - black screen - Sony Logo - animated Bootscreen for 4 times - and then its on again
I tried to reproduce the bug, but it happens randomly and is not related to any app.
i repaired the FW 2 times already with PCC, also did a full wipe 3 times, still no solution
Phone is branded, James Bond Edition, Bootloader Unlock: NO
Do you guys have a proper tip ?? i´m currently a little bit angry, cos i cant use the phone properly
Thanks in advance

Try a different .489 firmware for a while or a stock based rom from the development section.
that will at least eliminate the possibility of it being the firmware or pointing to the problem being your handset.

Hi Greg
thanks a lot, i was actually on the way to flash your assaye
the funny thing is, all the previoux FW´s (.1.303, .3.223) were awesome, good battery life and great performance, since the JB the phone is almost useless, because you never know, when it starts to freeze
i will give it a try and report back

Hi Greg
after some flashing around none of the roms were working properly, tried yours and a stock deodexed and another one, cant remember
the only one properly working is the stock .303, as soon as i flash and use the others, i get the freezer
so i called up the company where i bought it and a replacement is on the way...couple of days and i can start a new flash game
thanks a lot for your quick response and the AIO thread:good:

yes like your phone died with the 434 update ?
there seem to be quite some reports of a damaged kernel version with this update that uses a lot of cpu in standby and damages it through heat.

Updated the phone a few days ago, powered it off today and it did not boot. Now its in repair

Sleep of death is still present in .434 Phone was fine for a week after updating, but the problem has happened once a day for the past 3 days. Wake up in the morning to a dead phone. Able to perform a reset with power + volume up.
Not happy, where's this fix we were promised! Sony never said .434 was to fix SOD, it was all stupid rumors.

i had the exact same probleme with my asus transformer pad for 5 months and asus delivered several updates promising to fix the probem, but it did not work, this happened with android ics 4.0.3.
after half a year they managed to fix it.
so until it's not completely dead, just wait for a working update.

need some advice water damage boot loop

Hi I need a little help
My sister has a xperia sp c5303 that she droped in toilet
Every thing seams ok with the phone just haveing trouble getting the phone to boot up
It truns on and I get both the sony and xperia logos and a little bit after that but then it reboots
I am able to re flash the stock rom useing the pc companion repair your phone
I was able to get the phone to fully boot once but when I truned it off it went back into the loop
I would appreciate any help and advice

few weeks ago got my xperia SP damage because i got caught in heavy rain.
my phone got into exactly situation as your sister's also,
because i cant shutdown the phone i just let it drain the battery till empty and leave it alone for 4-5 days without charge.
now the phone works without hardware proble, but the error sometimes still come (it just works ok for 1 weeks ago, till 3-4 hours it got into same reboot again)
i notice it works ok on recaf 4.4 ROM (not sure, but when i flash 4.2.2 or 4.3 ROM the reboots always come back) .
if its bootloader unlocked i suggest you flash kernel with recovery ( so if after few days you want to try to turn on the phone but it still reboots u can shut it down from recovery). thats my experience tho, good luck for your sister and sorry for my english.

Come clean and go to a repair centre. The internal system is damaged and thats causing the boot problems. To fix this you need to get it fixed ;(
Dont know how much it can cost tho.

Put your phone in a bag of rice or that silica gel leave it there for 3-4 days. Make sure your phone is not waterlogged. wipe all of it with a towel BUT DON'T BLOWDRYER it.

FlashTool
Have you already use FlashTool to flash the software new ??? it

Zony Z1 C6902 No signal

Hey guys. I got this problem:
One day in the morning the cellphone lost signal and never got it back. As i believed it was a software issue (coz the cellphone was on and suddenly signal dissapeared) i tried to flash a ROM and do a lot of stuff. In Venezuela we have no Sony Center. At the end my cellphone finished with CM11 and no IMEI. If u have any solution for this, I'll be really grateful. Thanks in advance for ur time.

Try wiping all data and flashing a full FTF using flashtool, if that doesnt work,then im afraid u r gonna have to get a new phone:good:
How many roms have you flashed anyway?
Provide some more detailed info about how and when this happened.does the phone detect the sim card?
Does the stock sony rom by any chance go on a reboot loop when starting ,because that happened to me when my old xperia z's baseband died:angel:
Good Luck,I hope you fix your phone quickly

Thanks for writting. It started suddenly, i though it was an update. I've flashed like 4 ROMS (dont remember which ones tho). The cellphone detects SIM Card but cant register to any network. When I installed other ROMS it got on a reboot loop. I also think maybe i have to get a new phone and use this one as a mini tablet. Once again, thanks for leaving an answer
