Hey guys, I think i may have bricked my SGN.
I rooted via adb and then flashed the abyss kernel followed by stunner ics rom. But when i restarted through CWM the phone never restarted and now it won't even turn on. No download mode either and i've tried every possible trick including the wall outlet.
Phone won't turn on at all. Is this considered hard bricked and has anyone found a solution to this. Will a USB jig work on this.
Also, the stunner ics 4.5 beta showed successfull at CWM so i'm not sure what happened. Battery was fully charged too.
Try taking out the battery for a few minutes, put it back again and try entering download mode again.
What's sky ics rom?

You didnt follow the instructions ti install the rom so you now have a brick
Try pluggingn it top the pc , if you hear some noises on the pc then your noté is alive

Well, did you try a USB-jig to force your Note into Download-Mode?
Than you should be able to flash a stock and start over again.
Did you let your Note do the first startup at his own, I've read that the first start may took a bit longer and shouldn't be interrupted?
Regards

Well, i was in CWM and then installed the rom then pressed restart phone on CWM menu. Went downstairs and when I came back it didn't turn on.
if it doesn't turn on at all is it a hard brick?
I ordered a usb jig from amazon for $7.00 and it will arrive tomorrow, I heard the usb jig only works on soft bricked phones though and since mines won't even turn on will there be any chance at all of it working?
Hey guys I just realized what went wrong. I download the N7000 Galaxy note roms and kernels instead of the i717 (ATT) versions. Stupid me!
Has anyone ever had success getting a fix on this? If not would I be able to go to an AT&T store and just get a new one? What should I tell them. Please help

hi try this not my work dont now if it works
Default Bricked Galaxy Note N7000 or Incorrect ROM Flash Easy Fix
Ok simple you won't see nothing on the screen because the bootloader is wrong.....
Just put the battery in then do following.
1. hold vol down+home+power for 15 seconds...
2. release then press volume up...
Note: Don't worry about seeing anything on the screen or any keys light
it will be blank this is because bootloader is incorrect
3. open odin you should see comxx in listed flash the original bootloader back
into phone this will/should resume visual display.
I have attached necessary files to resume
Load File in PDA NOT BOOTLOODER
4. Wait 10 seconds.. Remove Battery Then Boot Back into Bootloader following steps 1&2
5. finally flash Stock Rom to resume the whole phone to original state.
Hope That Helps......see hear for post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23052721#post23052721

thanks for the help. i read that on another post and already tried it. unfortunately its a no go.
Just came back from att center and they said that they couldn't replace it for me on the spot because they don't have the phone in stock since its a newer phone. I gotta call the number they gave me now.
Sorry you've run into such a serious issue, but in a few way it's probably quite a good thing it's a hard brick.... It's likely you would have had a raised flash counter and the fact they can't power it on there and then is a bit of a God sent.
Hope you get a replacement soon mate :thumbup:

First of all I think It wouldnt have raised the binary counter and give triangle because you didnt use Odin to flash (Am I right?).
Second thing Thought it had given you a triangle since your phone is dead.
So they cant find that you flashed a custom kernel or the binary.

Hey guys, I see some of you are bricking or not being able to update.
You can use this to flash to I897UCJH7 OTA.
Use Clockwork recovery to flash it...
Cognition is currently being rebuilt on top of this, deodexed and all that fun stuff.
This flashes the system folder, kernel, and modem.

Mmm I'm not sure but... mine was stock ( did odin ) before I flashed this.
if a battery pull doesnt get it to work, then I would reflash JF6 with Odin, flash this JH7 OTA with Rom manager.
Im about to try to disable lag fix first, then flash and if it bricks it then ill flash to stock JF6 first.
Thank you DG. I needed the update because for some reason the one click installer thing wouldn't allow OTA updates. But your one click installer is still a huge help when needed.
First, breath, you are not bricked yet. Search in here for odin one click. Follow the instructions. You will most likely need to do method 3 for your download mode. (remove battery, sim, sdcard /replace battery /hil vol+ and vol- while simultaniouslyplugging in the usb cable) Once you get flashed back to stock you can try again.
Sigh after so many tries to update I went back to cognition with leaked jh7. Guess I'll be flashing again once I get off work tomorrow.

Its very obvious from your 3 threads you did no research before jumping into rooting and custom roms/kernals. Your device can be a year old and that wouldnt make a difference with your situation. Its all user error.
Buy a usb jig, and a seperate battery charger. Read next time.

Exactly, I rooted it the first day but I made sure I did my homework!
Anyway, if you've charged the battery you might be able to get it into download mode blindly. Press the download mode key combo, wait for 10 secs, then press up (or was it down? I don't remember off the top of my head, try both or search for it), and PC Odin might detect your soft bricked Note. Then flash a stock ROM.
Hi everyone, I was one of the people who bricked their phone by flashing the ICS Stunner Rom. I thought it would nice if there was a place where we could discuss how to go about solving this. I'm aware that we'll probably just have to send our phones in for repair but I thought it would be best to look at all the options first.
I've ran many versions of the stunner rom without issues. I find it hard to believe you are bricked.
Describe your situation. If the display turns on, you are not bricked. Have you tried connecting to a PC and see if Odin can see your phone?

Your right. Why don't you just give the guy razor blades and sleeping tablets even before he explains his issue.
Yes I'm new to the Note but I have brought back many phones back from the "BRICK".
Nothing works, I can't boot into download or recovery
Any ICS kernel based on the leaks seems to carry a danger of permanent damage to the eMMC.
So far the only safe Samsung ICS kernels seem to be those based on the I9100 update4 source base.
Well what would you recommend I do from here though? I want to get this fixed as soon as possible.

every time i consider bumping to a Custom ICS I see a thread like this or some issue that is a showstopper for me.
I'm glad I haven't yet had ICS.
I'm also in the same boat as you. I flashed it and it turned into a brick thinking it was the battery being drained. Plugged the phone in and the the phone didn't respond so I knew something went really wrong. Then the bricked news followed on the thread. There is pretty much nothing we can do right now but to send it out to get a JTAG, which is not a guaranteed fix either according to some folks in the thread. The very last resort is to replace the mainboard.

don't lower your hopes down, I've seen countless and numerous times of Bricked Notes being revived and restored thru JTAG. This process is the much low level process you can get of restoring your Note into it's normal process. I don't see why your Note can't be restored if it's done thru JTAG.
(Not unless you have a broken ICs or chipsets already, which contitutes a hardware failure and that's the time you may have to replace it.)
JTAG is trusted already and proven to restore almost all bricked Notes.
Just from my own experiences..
Cheers

Good evening, I'm having issues with my nexus .
Days ago a friend of mine told me about the Xenon HD rom, and I decided to try it (Im a CM user).
Today, I made a backup with TWRP and flashed the rom, I tested it for a few hours and I did not liked it, so I decided to go back to the previous rom, so I restored the backup. I realized that all my applications were not installed, so then I decided to do a Factory Reset and restore the backup again, my apps were still missing.
So I decided and start from scratch, doing another factory reset and installing CM on it, I factory reset it and I realize that my phone did not have any signal!
Wifi and everything is working but iit is not receiving any signal!
Can anyone help? I even tested it with a simcard from another company and nothing!
Are there any settings that may have been moved? Some option? please help me!

Good day, I just wanted to let you guys know that the weirdest thing just happened to me.
I just came from my office and thought about going and turning on my phone, I did, and enabled airplane mode, (also turned on and off nfc) when I disabled it, my phone detected the network signal! I even received a sms, I also made a call! and thought, wow! it fixed itself up! I was literally dancing in my room and changing my simcard... (because I did all the above with a replacement chip that I have) and when I finally put my chip back, I made a call and it lost the signal again... It is now again without signal... I’m beginning to think this is a hardware problem...
Any update on this?
I've had the same problem for a few weeks now, the 3G/H signal just drops out, rebooting, airplane mode switching, returning to stock, different apn's, changing radios, replacing sims have all had no effect.
It's getting embarrassing now, seems to be such a common problem and yet no acknowledgement from Google about the issue which I believe to be deep in the settings/software and relating to the hardware in the original batch of Nexus phones.
I could arrange a return and get a replacement but I've read that even replacements have the same issue.
Apart from throwing the thing against the wall is there any other fixes out there?
If it helps I'm on 02 UK pay monthly, surrounded by cell towers, the phone is rooted and running stock 4.3
Just checking it now and I have H and 4 full blue bars - Ok update twitter.. nope, ok go to the play store..nope...
Fricken piece of Junk
So I was trying to help a friend flash stock using Odin because his phone app was being a piece of crap, he was on a CM 11 nightly and, well, long story short I almost bricked his phone not knowing there is a limit on how many times you can flash a Samsung device using Odin because of the yellow triangle. I can't use triangle away because it's the CM ROM on a CM kernel, I was able to get rid of the softbrick by using a older CM ROM on his SD card, this wouldn't be a problem if his phone app was still working, his WiFi was working and if his sound was working, but it's not. So to recap and for the question, Samsung is stupid, and can anyone help?

Sorry, Samsung isn't stupid or they wouldn't just magically be a $250+billion dollar company that has been around for 76 years.
Because you jumped in and were unsuccessful with what you were doing doesn't constitute failure on their part.
How about taking that phone - S4 back to bone stock. ALL the answers on how to do that are here. In fact in the last couple days I've personally given instructions on how to do that for a number of people here in the help section. Do some searching and reading and you'll find your answers.
It always helps to come to a manufacture's section and say how sh**y they are. Makes those of us who choose to use and support them feel ever so helpful.
Ok sorry should've been more specific, I'm not new to these forums I was just in a hurry, also seriously guys I'm just frustrated I know Samsung is not stupid you don't have to post their history, they're awesome it's just dumb that they have a limit, and yes if you install the latest stock Sprint update (the one I did before I rooted and rom'd his phone) there wouldn't be a thing such as triangle away. Anyway on Odin it says it passed when flashing stock (the firmware that comes with the phone) but it does it in 4 seconds, and when his phone boots up and it just restores CM, so far everything we've tried either softbricks it or restores CM. Is there anything that completely and I mean completely restores this phone

Where are you getting this idea there is a limit on Odin flashes?

There is no limit, as mentioned already, with Odin.
I've used it probably a hundred times since I got my S4. I know others have used it more.
Take some time, look through the Q&A/help forum and you'll see some posts I've helped others with, in the last 24hours alone, on how to get back to stock.
Edit:
Okay read this post. It'll get you to stock. Just read the instuctions on how to do it.
Ok I'll try it thanks for tolerating me I can be hard to understand when panicking

Glad you got it working and THANK YOU for posting back - that is what helps the community.
I understand the panic too. Especially when things are f'd up.
But if there is one valuable lesson I've learned in my half century of life; if you can just pause, relax and step back, many problems are easily resolved. And better yet more avoided by haste.
Good luck with the new phone setup.
OK one more quick thing, we flashed it successfully but now it won't boot its been over an hour after we flashed and its stuck on the Sprint logo

You can first boot to stock recovery (power on + volume up) and choose a 'factory reset'. That often clears stuff up pretty well
Or
Try and PC Oding a stock MK2 kernel. Then battery pull and restart after. Saw this on a few phones
I'll have to search to find it but it's here somewhere.
