Phone stuck in boot loop

Hi, I've been using Darky's Rom for over a week now and everything was fine. I woke up this morning, and my phone was off. I found this strange because it was left on the night before, and it was completely unresponsive. I pulled the battery and attempted to boot it, but it keeps flashing the GT-i9000M logo and rebooting. I have Download mode working, which is good and I've tried flashing the stock firmware back, and it's not working. I've tried the repartition option with both the 512mb .pit file and the one that came with odin, nothing's working. Anyone have any tips?

Call samsung its toast. Check out some of the i9000m posts in the general forum.

Dang. Is there any chance Bell will be able to replace it for me? I'm guessing my issue is the corrupt internal microsd. Also, since I was a running a custom rom would it be a good idea to flash the bell FroYo through Download Mode before taking it in? Thanks for the response. Also, should I mention to them that I upgraded to FroYo?

As it is you have no warranty as you messed with the firmware so yes be on the safe side and flash to stock bell firmware . You can always act ignorant and say it went bad after the Froyo update .

Alright, that's what I'll do. Thanks for the advice.
As bad as I feel about lying, it's a physical problem with the device and I feel that I deserve a replacement. I didn't really have second thoughts about installing a custom ROM because the Galaxy S is virtually unbrickable thanks to download mode.
edit: Does anyone know where I can find the jk4 froyo that's bricking our phones?

Find N7000 All stock ROm link from my signature, n go with any ROM you like.
Keep in mind, if you want to keep rooted, just select older ROM

the problem i am having now is its not even rebooting and i am having a firmware upgraded encountered an issue and i cant get into recovery mode the only thing i can get into is download mode and when i try to install the custom rom..you provided it says end on odin and when i try to install the leak ics it stays on hidden for hours..is my phone doomed..

Which country are you in?

Canada and my galaxy note was brought from Germany so i don't thing Samsung Canada will cover the warranty

Which firmware have you tried? I'm guessing with it being a german note in canada you are gonna need to use european firmware?
This is the one i've just used and i have just come back from using the Chinese leak myself.
Is your note the 16gb or 32gb version? Check to make sure you're using the correct pit.
Open Odin 1.83
Connect your phone in download mode
Use the correct .pit in the PIT tab
Unpack the file you downloaded and put the Unzipped file in the PDA tab
Make sure re-partition is ticked and press start
All should be ok
Once done you can root and CWM with the links in Dr Ketans sig and you're away

its the 16 g

it did not work there was no pit file with the link you gave me and the pit i have says 32 g and i dont know where i can get a 16g pit if there is such thing

I am to facing the same problem can u tell me which which rom shd i download and can u please send me the links of all the files that will help me fix the problem.

@ nuklearmonkeyuk: I am searching for a 32 GB PIT-File for rooting my Note (32 GB). Can't find such at all . Are you shure it exists?? All my searching failed, only found 16 GB PIT. Found a Post that said it don't care. Can you help me please ??
Edit: want to root my Note using Chainfires TUT, so I have to downgrade to KJ1. Dowloaded it, it's a "3-Part" one (I think) with a 16 GB PIT file.

[Q] Galaxy Note from China (GT-I9228G), change to western ROM?

Hello all,
During my travels in China, I picked up a GT-I9228G galaxy note.
Back in the UK now, and hoping I could change the rom to the english varient of GT-N7000? I am assuming GT-I9228G and GT-N7000 is the same device, just different regional roms(?).
The boot screen is chinese. It has chinese apps on it which I cant remove and no app store amongst other things. Ideally, would like to make the phone all english. Is this possible?
Just a bit of background on me:
I used to own a HTC PDA which I swap roms from developers here and very familair with jail breaking on apple products. Andriod however is new to me. I am a quick learner, so any pointers would be great please guys/gals.

I guess you could... Lots of other people bought their galaxy note from Hong Kong and also from china and they all changed their ROM for a same reason of yours.

Does not the 9220 using a snapdragons and not exynos? I not sure but I thing I have read it somewhere so carefully before flashing.

So, potentially I could just change to the one below?
N7000XXKKA ## 2.3.6 2011 November N7000CPWKK3 United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse) Download

The box says 1.4 + <insert chinese characters here>
From wiki -A dual-core 1.4Ghz Exynos processor or a 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon S3 processor (AT&T, SK Telecom, KT, LG U+)
So my guess is Exynos. Anyway to double check?

ok, so I have downloaded the above rom and Odin3 v1.83 from sammobile.
I have opened Odin3 and specified the PIT file (Q1_20110914_16GB)
I have also ticket re-partition, auto reboot and F.reset timer.
I have loaded the rom under PDA (N7000XXKKA_N7000CPWKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar), everything else is unticked.
I have the phone in download mode ready.
I just need to know if the above is ok or am I missing anything before I click START and brick my phone?
Thanks,
Chris.

well I tried anyway.
That didnt work.
Now the phone says "software update fail"
I can still get into download mode, buts thats about it.
tried with and without the PIT file.
Anyone know what I should do now please?

I'd say you'll have to find a rom for that model
maybe http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9220&r=2#regiona

You might have bricked your phone by checking repartition in odin. You should not have. Now you probably need to find a pit file for your model.

If you could enter download mode then try these steps
1. Open Odin and flash Pit file only and Re-partition ticked. (do not attach any ROM)
2. After this again flash ROM without pit file and re-partition un-ticked
This should work.

Thanks,
The first part seemed to work ok, so then went onto flashing again without the PIT file. Failed
Back to square one (software update fail message).
Going to try the original ROM, but takes about 6 hours to download from china!.
Ideally, really dont want to use the original ROM though! I'm guessing the original ROM isnt going to work now anyway since ODIN3 has re-partitioned the device(?).

god, you can't flash n7000 roms on the china note, you will surely brick your phone and good luck.

You're wrong. Several have tried and it's working perfectly with n7000 roms on i9220 phones.

I am also doing this on a macbook via Boot camp (windows partion). Maybe it has a problem with that. Will try it on a normal PC too.
Any other suggestions before I head home from work and play later?

Oh, I forgot to mention. I read somewhere (forgot where) that I should root the device prior to changing the ROM. Is that true? If so, I dont think thats something I can do in current state

you can try flashing kernel with CWM in PC Odin, then flash any Custom ROM using CWM Recovery.

CWM is clockworkmod right? Dont I need a rooted phone in order to install it?
Or do I follow something like this? http://whatareandroidphones.net/root-samsung-galaxy-note.html

Yes... CWM recovery doesn't need root.

hello,
Didnt have the time to work out CWM, but was given a link to another rom which had three files for ODIN3 (http://hotfile.com/dl/149302861/1896440/N7000XXLA6_N7000XEULA1_XEU.rar.html).
So, loaded the above and the phone is back in action on a N7000 rom. Wohoo. Just glad it's working again more then anything else lol!
This rom is prerooted apparently too. know idea what I should be able to do now. What does one usually do when they have a rooted device?

[Q] Pls HELP!!

Hey guys i really need some help. I tried to install clockworkmod on my T-mobile samsung galaxy s (sgh-t959v) and i guess i bricked it. All that comes out on the screen is a phone and a computer. can someone pls tell me what to do to fix this and install the right way.
Thank you in advance

Fairly new to all this myself and don't have experience with T-Mobile but if you go here you should be able to get a Firmware for your phone: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=SGH-T959V&r=5#regiona
You should be able to download a stock firmware, odin & everything else you need to flash your stock firmware. From this site.
Perhaps wait and see other responses though as there maybe a way to fix without flashing a stock firmware. Also getting some info from someone with your phone on T-Mobile may be better.

Just confirming that what scubadude said above. Flash new firmware, it is a soft-brick and therefore recoverable. Something that needs to be added however is that you will need to make a login in-order to access the direct link. If the link still doesn't work after that then click firmware and follow on from there..

[Q] Galaxy Note: Odin Stuck at Nand Write Start

Hello all,
Yesterday I wanted to try the Kingdroid V2.1 + GS3 addon. After installing, everything OK but no addon on the Note so I decided to go back to my good ol
GB Rocket Rom v23.
As the kernel was reported as safe, I did a full wipe and tried first to install my latest backup. --> Dodn't work.
I tried to wipe again to install zip from SD --> Wipe didn't work neither
I tried to install a stock rom KJ1 via ODIN --> Stuck at the end of Nand write start!!
Could anybody tell me what to do next?
Thanks a lot.

May be a case of Superbrick

Your post is slightly unclear. Can you please specify from which kernel you wiped the first time?
Kingdroid V2.1 used an unsafe LP8 Kernel. In that case you might have a superbricked phone on your hands. In that case I'm very sorry for you.
Now I cant find Kingdroid 2.1 anymore, it seems to have been taken down.

Hello all,
The Kernel version was indeed LP8! I should have used odin and not wipe
it at all...Sh**!!!!
After trying to restore KJ1 via ODin it failed and now my Note shows
a smartphone + yellow triangle + computer and saying Firmware encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. When doing this I can't find how to recover with Kies.
Superbricked or not?
Do I have any chance to get it fixed in a Samsung Service Center?
Could I say that I was doing a firmware update and that is got stuck or do they have a way to see that I was actualle flashing?
Any idea of what this could cost me?
Thanks guys,
Bruxav

Try getting it to a service center and just tell them that upgrading via kies fooked your phone.

This problem started increasing because of Kingdroid V2. and bad guide on installation of the ROM.
I hope Samsung Service Center is the only solution for it.
I too have tried to use Kingdroid V2 rom and my samsung note is gone now.
for getting little things we wasted a lot time, and we are now paying money to get it to its original condition atleast.
Lesson Learnt is Never ever Root or try any S**t Rom. speciall on Samsung handset.
was good enough to do everything in HTC

I also bricked my device with KingDroid and don't seem to be able to recover. I even tried to repartition from ADB, but I get input/output errors, which means the emmc is corrupted, from what I can understand.

Really sad to hear that. How did you go abot to brick it?
That could be valuable info for others.

I found a threat on this forum and as far as I understood, the kernel I had LP8 was not listed as dangerous (might be misunderstood by myself)
I did install Kingdroid 2.1 without any problem and then the S3 mod too. After rebooting it worked smoothly but had no Svoice or any S3 specs. So I decided to get back to RocketRom V23 wich is to me the best (Quick, smooth, batteryfriendly) I've tried so far.
As I thought Kingdroid was safe I did what NO ONE SHOULD DO...wipe it and there began the sh*t!
I tried installing a KJ1 stock rom this morning using Odin but it got stuck at the end of the process. When I unplugged it said ther had been a problem installing software. As requested I tried to restore with KIES but it didn't recognize the device.
Finally I brought it to the service center saying I got stuck trying to upgrade the software with official release in Kies.
Let's just hope they won't be able to restart it and get to know it was rooted and flashed a dozen times
THanks anyway for all your messages, answers and tips.
See ya,
BruXav

Best of luck to you. Please tell us how it went

Also got bricked today. Also going from Kingdroid 2.1. I'am trying to get on stock rom,but not suceeded yet (sorry for bad english )
Do you have some news from Samsung Service Center?

Hi guys,
Here I am, two weaks after my initial post. My SGN just spent two weeks at the local service center. At least I bricked it so good that they couldn't realize that I had rooted and flashed my Note.
So, I got it back after a mainboard swap!
Thanks for your helpful posts and information!
BruXav

I'm glad you got it back.

have bricked my phone one month ago
tried everything no joy
finally contacted my insurance and they sorted out for me.
