Bricked Galaxy Note! Please Help

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?

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

Your phone may has yellow triangle and flash counters now. So you would not be able to get a new one or order them fixing it for you.

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:

hey, im supposed to send my phone in to them and so your saying that when i send it in they won't be able to find out that i flashed a custom rom and kernel on it?
and im not sure if its such a good thing because if it was at least soft bricked i wouldve been able to fix it most likely. thanks for your help

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.

[Q] Canadian Variant [SM-N900W8] Stuck In Boot Loop!

I've been reading through other threads here on XDA about a common boot loop issue that N900T users are experiencing, but nowhere was it mentioned that the Canadian variant users had a similar problem, but I do.
I was wondering if there were any other SM-N90028 users out there that were stuck in a boot loop?
Here is my situation:
I have a Canadian SM-N900W8 (it is, also a Qualcomm LTE version) and I'm in a boot loop... it all started when I tried to restore a Stock-Rooted Rom with TWRP.
I can't, however get it out, and I've tried all of the versions of TWRP, I've also used odin like 30 times... nothing.
I successfully restored a Rooted stock ROM through TWRP, but it wasn't until I re-installed a factory un-rooted one that things got ugly..
So I was thinking about this and perhaps the cause of this is KNOX... since the first thing I did when I rooted my phone initially was uninstall KNOX and all of its files. I know these didn't carry over when I did a TWRP backup, which is perhaps why my restore of that backup worked the first time. The second time, I just went and downloaded everything stock and used Odin, and that's when the bootloop occurred.
if anyone knows of a way to solve this, I'd be forever grateful!
I really hope I will be able to fix this...

Not to sound.to xdaish...but dude seriously this topic.is all.over the n3 forums. Have a.look and you will find tons of info.
Also...good idea to.read prior to flashing..if you had you would have know not to restore with twrp since it causes bootloops.
Just trying to you some friendly advice.

Thank you, but I've read them all and most are regarding the n900t, I felt it appropriate to ask about the n900w8 variant.
Also, I know that would have been better, but it's too late for that now. I just thought I'd share my experiences here with this issue so that others will know better.

So I tried a different stock ROM, and with the latest version of Odin, but it still is in a boot loop.
However there is one difference; this time it will boot past the Samsung logo and into android, but then a window will pop up saying "Process system isn't responding" and ask me to wait for it to respond or close it. Regardless of what I select, it will end up rebooting seconds later.
In the very short time that everything stays booted for, I can access the two pull-down menus from the top, but selecting anything will yield me no results.
Perhaps this can tell us more about this issue?

Did you have a read.through this....a few.guys have revived their n900w8s here

Random Restarts with 4.4 Leak

Hello, I was wondering if anyone else encountered an issue after installing the 4.4 leak. The install of the ROM and firmware go fine, however, once the phone boots for the first time it will just randomly restart. I can never get it to replicate doing the same steps. It can do it before I even do the initial setup, after the setup when doing basic tasks, or can restart back to back for a while.
I am using the Deodexed version and have even tried to Odin back to stock 4.3, get root, install safestrap and try again fresh.
The one thing I did notice, is after I install the ROM I get the "Custom" padlock on the Note 3 splash screen, I didn't see that in the video I watched.
Is my phone just messed up? Or is there something I am missing?
I have tried removing my SIM and SD card with no luck. I am back on 4.3 right now but would love to be on 4.4. I do not experience the restarts on 4.3.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Which safestrap do you have installed?

3.65

I think you need the 3.7x version for kk but double check the directions thread.

I believe, 3.72 is for KK after installation. I will try 3.71 prior and see if that makes a difference.
I will post back with results!
Thanks!

Don't install 3.7 until AFTER you install kk.

It seemed to go better. After the installation of the ROM and firmware the phone was working fine for about thirty minutes. I just let it sit idle with, then I got a phone call and it rebooted a few min into it. Now it's back to restarting every 3-5 min regardless of what it's doing. Running apps or sitting idle. I'm at a loss =/

I did have them after a dirty flash and decided to clean flash and never had a reboot since

I'm doing clean installs. I just don't think my phone can handle KK.
Guess I will just stick to 4.3.

I would try a fresh download too. Seems like isolated problems like this can often be a corrupt download

I tried re downloading the ROM, the odexed verison, the firmware, Odin, Safestrap. No success.
I will just hang out on 4.3 and watch with envy as everyone else is on 4.4.

[Q] Imperium ROM GT-i9505 problems

Hey there,
Can anyone help me?
I've installed imperium ROM for my galaxy S4 (GT-i9505, android 4.4.2) , but I ran across a couple of problems, which only started after flashing the "S5 Ultra Pack v2.4". The problems are:
1. My home button does not work anywhere. I can whack it, crush it, spam it etc etc. it won't go to my home screen. It does work however to wake up my screen
2. My notification bar does not show any notifications, nor can I extend the quick slots in the upper part.
3. The minitbattery app keeps force closing with the message "outdated, please update to a new version."
I tried reflashing the ultimate pack, and since I already deleted the imperium zip (I am not a smart man) I haven't tried reflshing that yet. Would still mean I'd have to wipe everything again . If there is anyone who can help me out, it would be much appreciated!

Just reflash the rom you are currently on. If that doesnt work, do a full wipe and flash again.

At first after flashing the rom you have to set touchwiz as default and then you can switch back to another launcher.

Well, I had wiped everything before flashing the rom, so I had touchwiz for a while until I installed solo, however I did have solo already when flashing the before mentioned pack.
P.S. I fixed the problem by doing a wipe, everything is working fine now.
