Guys,
I need your urgent assistance .. I think I have bricked my phone and need assistance.. Basically I was running the Official ICS ROM which I got from XDA website it was the LQ2 kernel for the Galaxy Note.
Last night I custom flashed the Criskelo ICS v7 ROM but wasn't too happy and wanted to go back to stock ICS .. So I went into PC Odin and flashed the stock ICS Firmware.. upon booting I went into CWM (Volume up + home+power) did a factoy reset and cache, dalvik cache wipe.. Then reboot system.. The phone was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note screen .. So I tried to Flash the Stock ICS LQ2 rom again via PC Odin and now it just hangs almost at 90% at factoryfs.img?
Am I completely messed up or is there a way to resolve this please can you guys assist me in what I must do.. I don't know if this is a soft or super brick..
Many Thanks..
PS: I even did the PIT file thing and still no joy
you custom flashed??
what do u mean u custom flashed??
Get a rom with bootloader in it. Don t use repartition. Make sure you flash the bootloader.
Sounds like you wiped from a stock Samsung kernel, which is a big no no. The only way to fix this is to repartition your phone with a .pit file that has been designed not to use the the corrupted sectors of your internal storage. If you search hard enough, you'll find a thread about it. I successfully recovered a phone I bricked way back with the first LP1 ICS kernel. It does work! You'll lose some space though.

Yes I factory reset a STOCK ICS ROM .. please can you assist in what I need to do.. Which PIT file and which ROM Shall I try to flash with.. please assist.. Many thanks..
Thanks for your help guys .. followed the german dudes tutorial and downloaded the .PIT file and managed to re flash stock ICS .. Now the only issue is my internal memory is showing 8.24 GB.. what happened to the other approx 8GB? I thought the Note was 16GB? Before windows used to show it as 11GB but now showing 8.24 GB is there a fix for this or is the bad or do I have to live with it.. ?
read the whole tut again it tells you why since you have to move partition tables.
Yes...it's a rather small deal anyway...there are 64gb SD card after all.

My advice is "live with it". Coz what the "German dudes" pit files do is avoid the "locked" sectors in your internal card. While you can try different pit files or try create new partitions via adb -- you probably wont gain much.
Or you could send it to Sammy for a warranty claim, after resetting the flash counter and then bricking it again via odin using the original pit file. Basically what you need to do is erase all evidence that u tampered with it. This is a risky option... (You can tell them phone got messed up in kies upgrade). This happened to me (on an almost new note, so i kinda did the same, except that i went a step further and deleted the boot-loader as well = hard brick. However i dont recommend it). And they replaced the phone.
I emphasize again this is risky -- and do more research before if you do this.
Problem as of now is since you've modified the pit -- and also the phone is working, you cant claim now.

Thanks for your assitance bro.. I will live with it. .I don't mind loosing 3 gb .. Already got 32GB SD card so no issue. Just happy its all back up and running really.. Big thanks to the German brother you the man
Its Forest1971 who first wrote this workaround and it was hg42 who rewrote the pit file and it was Dr null who proposed this way, Its all XDA members who helped you out of this brick. Not some German sites. Google throws up German results first
I am not harsh by anyway saying this. Just want to write it as it happened.
Was witnessing all the issues.
I am writing a guide for Noobies for bricks. Guess I get some help ....

I actually followed his guide and repartioned manually and only lost about one Gbyte vs using the pit file and losing over 3 G bytes. Took a lot of trial and error though

hi! i was in the same state as you! now, listen very carefully. Now, all you have to do is to use another PC and run ordin. Everything should work fine! My note was soft-bricked yesterday night and i had tried endless counts of tries just to get it up and running. Just earlier today,I saw someone who posted a comment in a similar forum and suggested that you should try a different PC it worked. AND IT worked for me now, just use this pit file that i had upload and download any (G-N7000)stock firmware that has (code.md5, modem.md5 and csc.md5). just place the pit file in ordin. ( do note you will lose 3gb of your internal memory) and click start hopefully it worked for you

can you contact entropy before sending your unit to samsung??
entropy is looking, if im not mistaken, for a purely stock bricked note... kindly pm him

Not necessary to use the 3gb regain patch.
There's a 1gb or 2gb regain patch also. And it's enough.

Though so many ppl told u alrd, i just want to say, in any case, when u r in ICS alrd, it is totally prohibited to do factory reset through CWM with samsung ICS original kernel.
When u need to wipe or factory reset, make sure u r on a safe kernel like speedmod or notecore.
If u want to recover ur note, just use the pit file method. It works.
Make sure u use the correct patch of 16gb or 32gb, depends on ur note.
Always try from the smallest patch, so u won't loose so many storage.
Anyway, latest CriskeloROm with speedmod is the best for battery life nd performance.

I'm having the same issue now.
I did wipe data / factory reset with stock ICS kernel and I think, I bricked the Note.
I didn't know there were such issue.
I couldn't find a ROM with 3 files (code.md5, modem.md5 and csc.md5).
Please kindly guide me where to find such ROM.

Hi.
I work in China ow and then and i bought my self a Lenovo K920 yesterday. A GREAT phone but sadly the it does not have any Google programs/system but just a similar Chinese system which i know nothing about. I have found some ROMs out there but on some forum people warns about flashing the Chinese K920pro as it will brick.
Any one here who could tell me how to proceed.... Thanks

I did a try a russian "2014-10-14--10-16-45 K920_ROW_S126_140825.7z" with their "twrp_2.8.0.1_recovery_K920Pro.7z" file but it "killed" my phone....
I can still access the Lenovo Re ovey and the root menu though.. But the operating system just hangs at the Chinese 4G logo.....
Im not able to restart the TWRP again. I start to dislike this odd phone now after spending 30-40 hours to try to get google play, gmail etc to work.. I should have bought a HTC or Samsung instead..

You shouldn't do that at the early release of the phone. Even any phone. You need to wait for the official rom release. How about you try fastboot and flash the twrp/cwm recovery. From the recovery use sideload to reflash the stock rom. Keep in mind that you should wait for a review or someone who actually successfully flash the custom roms/non-official rom. Except root, theres a number of successful root.

I know but i was desperate to get Google to work... Bricked or Chines system is same same for me...
Fastboot and TWRP cant find any device. Factory reset or wipe did not help either. Can access boot menu and Lenovo recovery, but need a recovery file first, and then we have problem with that i cant access the phones internal storage.... And this crap has no SD-memory either...
$700 down the drain for sure... Still have to buy a new phone though, and im still in China... Have to fly to HK to get a new phone... This is going to be expensive.
Thats what happen when you flash the unofficial rom. You know the risk. Make sure you have installed fastboot driver and adb driver. Im sure you can reflash the rom after you able to enter fastboot

Hello all,
I had a galaxy note 3 (SM-N9005, 16GB Hong Kong Version) with last updated to KitKat(OTA). For the first time, i decided to take the risk of flashing the ROM manually and downloaded the Poland Lollypop Rom N9005XXUGBOA5_N9005XEOGBOA4_N9005XXUGBOA1_HOME.tar.md5 and flashed the phone using Odin with only Reset and Reboot flags checked. It failed at ext Image error.
After some reading i find out that HongKong have different partition structure and hence require to flash with a pit, i downloaded a pit file
(SM-N9005_HLTE_HKTW_OPEN_16G) from forums here and tried to re flash it with Reset, Reboot and Repartition flags and this time it stucks at error
PIT Fail : Total Sectors (38777344). I can now only boot up in download mode.
Can anyone let me know is there any chance, whether i can bring my phone back to life.

It sounds like you tried to reflash the HK PIT file - what you actually need is a PIT to suit the firmware you want to flash. If you use the HK pit you need to flash a HK ROM.
Also, make sure you actually pull the battery to get into Download mode. i.e. take out battery, wait 10 secs, then put it in and hold down the keys for DL mode. Restarts don't seem to work properly when flashing BL's and Modems so the physical method is needed.
Start by getting the latest HK version and see if Odin will flash it. THEN look at getting a EU pit file to go with BOA5.

I had a HK S3 and had similar problems. Not sure why Samsung makes them so different. I was new to Androids and thought I had trashed my new phone.
But it's a good way to learn - first you find out what has gone wrong and then how to fix it and before you know it, you are on your way to being flash-addicted.
Thank you
@Journyman16 Thank you very much :victory:, i got my phone up again with the hong kong firmware .... I was also looking for pit file for lollipop polland firmware, but didnt find anyone specific to 16gb note...

Been a while since I looked at such things but search in Q&A as well as Android Development for things like 'root guide' or perhaps click on the Advanced Search button and look for 'guide' in post headings.
Also as you browse the subjects that interest you there are often links out to tutorials etc. - another reason for always reading a thread before posting.
Good luck on the journey...
Hi guys, i have some big problems with my n910f, tried to upload a pic to facebook and my phone crashed.
It simply does nothing, not booting, not charging, download and stock recovery are working.
I tried everything possible>
*flashed 3 different stock firmwares with odin
*tried a pit file repartion in odin
*wiped cache, did a few factory resets from stock revovery
*bought a new battery
*tried to root and flash a custom recovery but doesnt work
It is simply as bricked as it could be, the only information about this i have is stock recovery telling me unable to mount /data
So it seems my filesystem got corrupted as hell
The question is, how do i repair it?
Like i said pit file and bootloader flash did nothing, odin lets me flash everything without an error but it doesnt help.
I assume i could somehow repair it with adb fastboot but how?
Any help is welcome!

It may or may not help but I would sure try Kies. You NSFW get done errors like Kies telling you is not compatible bit but I would try the firmware initialization.

i have the same problem, do you know where can we find the complete 5 files (pit pda bl csc phone) for flashing with odin?
its the only thing i haven't already tried.
I manage to fix the issue with storage partition, i used a pit file and the one file firmware in csc button, that made the hole data partition rewriten again so the phone is able to boot properly.
Hope you gays this may help.

Sorry pal, i better watch my grammar, i ment guys.
My friend got an old phone from his dad, who had an old custom ROM installed on it, and asked me to return it to the original software.
I used ODIN 3.09 and installed the appropriate ROM which I downloaded from Sammobile.
The phone went into a bootloop, so I wiped the cache and when that didn't work, I wiped all data. After that the phone booted into the Welcome screen and my friend started to configure it. In the middle of the process, the phone rebooted, and now it loads into the Welcome screen, but reboots after a few seconds.
After that I've tried reflashing the software and doing multiple resets, to no avail. Any ideas?
Please let me know of any Ideas. I am very ashamed of damaging my friend's phone.
PS: I should say, I put a bootloader into ODIN the first time I flashed the software because some tutorial recommended it and I haven't seen that requierement in any other tutorial since. Might this be the cause? How could I test that?
What model what firmware what bootloader ??

The phone is a Note 3 N900 UB, the firmware I installed was N900UBSEBQB5, and to be honest, I can't quite tell what the bootloader is, the file I downloaded is just called "bootloader".
the file I downloaded is just called "bootloader
My guess is that's the fault as bootloaders are named same as firmwares
Example >>> BL_N9005ZSUGPJ2
Could be a bootloader for anything .because some tutorial recommended
Have you taken a chance to reflashing the official firmware with ordin , that would be helpful all the time.
After that you should make sure your phone work fine on the official rom .
Then update your Recovery to a third party Rec,like CWM or TWRP .
Next step,flashing an original rom.
