Galaxy Note Custom Binary Count is Yes - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all i have really messed up my note... i been trying to flash it and i bricked it now the phone will only get into download mode... Also i have 1 count on the custom rom... My question is i have booked the phone in with Samsung to get it fixed but when Samsung put the phone into download mode they will see the 1 count does that void my warranty ??? Will samsung fix it for me ???

You have voided your warranty
You need a USB jig to clear the counter

There are two ways to remove the yellow triangle/binary count without a jig...I have a kernel, and I there is Triangle Away...
And if you can get into download mode, your phone is not bricked...just soft bricked. Flash a stock firmware...

Easiest way is
If you are able to get into download mode
1. Flash Stock ROM with PC odin
2. get root N install ICS base custom ROM
3.Use triangle away to reset counter
4 Back to Stock ROM

Your device gets failed while flashing factoryfs

Try on window machine.

Wasn't there a kernel version which zeroes the binary counter from angelom (following the bricking fiasco)? Someone might still have it

Where can I get the kernel you mentioned that could reset the binary count without using a USB JIG? Appreciate if you can point me the download site. I'm using an Asian unit GN7000.
Many thanks in advance for your kind help.

Hi dude here is the message angelom sent to me its got the link to the Kernel Enjoy
So here is the link kernel that reset counter and remove yellow triangle:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5bmrc6cf81w5mya
Of course this is what I tried last night and it was fine (flashed over 10 times)
instructions:
It 'a tar file, then flashed it with Odin Pc
You need to have ICS, so if you tried to install GB with odin, you have to flash the Chinese leak ICS (always with odin)
Even if you flash the rom from error, after trying to install, always installs with odin the kernel, it usually also with your problem is successful.
Just you see that phone reboot (just odin gives you the message that the flash of the kernel has been successful) disconnect the usb cable and press once the keys to enter the recovery mode (Vol + + home + power) and keep them pressed until do not see the recovery.
You'll still have the yellow triangle.
When did you get into recovery (still touch CWM) touch on reboot
So, even if eventually the Rom should not start it for the problem of partitions, you'll see that the triangle is gone and the counter is reset.
Of course you do so at your own risk, given my experience after what has happened, I emphasize.

Probably get a usb jig. Take your battery off.. Insert battery and connect jig. Your phone will boot into download mode. Then remove jig and connect your data cable and flash any stock Rom via odin

Go to this site http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 and you will find Odin 1.85. Firmware for your country/region and flashguide. Register first, it`s free
It`s not so hard: download Odin 1.85, download the right firmware.
Put the firmware in PDA in Odin, close Kies and kies trayagent and PDLR in your windows toolbar (rightclick and go to taskmanager), put your phone in downloadmode, connect with computer and when you see ADDED in the left corner window of Odin and the the ID.com left upper window turns yellow press start and flash and let it boot.

Does that means i need to pay samsung to restore back for me?
Hello guys, even I am stuck factoryfs.img when trying to flash stock ROM.
I bricked my phone trying to install rocket ROM ICS.

PLEASE HELP
If you are able to enter recover, wipe cache, wipe delvic cache, wipe off data

Not specific, you select any different, n as balok said connect directly to usb port, n close if antivirus running. Better download rom without antivirus, some time antivirus can cause problem, if any component of rom falsely consider as trojan.

Galaxy Note fails while booting (yellow triangle)

Hi there.
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note since I wanted to make it rootable.
When I bought it, I could use any simcard inside, so it is "unlocked".
Yesterday, I wanted to use my phone to root it but some files can't be downloaded via WWW.MULTIUPLOAD.COM (i guess it is because of what happened to MEGAUPLOAD).
So, one of my first questions is : is USB DEBUGGING activated when using the Galaxy note for the first time or not at all? (I didn't activate it when using my Galaxy Note before flashing it)
Second, I have used Odin to flash a file (PDA slot), the file was hard to find but google could help (i'm just meaning that some links here seem to be "broken" on multiupload). The flash was fine and the phone boot back... to a yellow triangle.
No way to change it.
No backup from the rom, but I remember it is a KKA.
I 've looked in that thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350960) to find everything that could help me, but the file is no more on multiupload
I tried via that thread, too :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370156 , but the problem remains
Third, I don't have any jug usb to use and no CMW installed nor loaded.
Could a kernel help to solve the problem about the yellow triangle, using ODIN, or not? Or is it better to use a fully functionnal rom, as a KKA?
Any help/comment would be much appreciated
N.B : sorry for my english that can be "poor" sometimes :s
Can you exactly give the file name, which you have used to flash PDA section? and size of it

1. It doesn't matter while flashing using PC Odin.
2. Are you sure about which ROM you flashed ( Suspecting you have flashed Custom ROM)
3. Their is way to remove Triangle (!) , you should use JIG
follow the link for more details.

Thanks for your quick replies
So, I wanted to flash that, using ODIN:
Recovery ClockworkMod Odin flashable.Tar
But on XDA, the link about it is in fact Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip.
Did I miss something??
The file I could find using google was about 8Mo and the flash was quite fast.
(I used it for the PDA part)
I also referred to that thread :

When No Any other method works to Root your device, use this
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that, this will downgrade your ROM to KJ1, after that you can update it.
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/YB9EL8D8O3
- Make sure your SGN is NOT connected to your computer
- Reboot your SGN into "download mode" (Vol down + Home + Power))
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select the "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar" file
- Connect the SGN to your computer
- Make sure "repartition" is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot TWICE
- Done.
Now you have your device Rooted, Install Mobile Odin Pro n update your device to any new ROM with Mobile Odin

using the file for KKA, but then, next flashing, the yellow triangle...
I'm working right now but I can repost here in a few hours the exact name of the file I have found using google that I could not find over here.
Anyway, do you think I can "repair" it without any JIG USB?
And yes, it was on a custom rom (the phone is just new, only a few hours in my hands ) but it's not my first one (i could flash a HD2 and the Samsung Tablet with no problems...

This thing you did wrong, I have made lot effort to update Rooting guide here, still somebody How can find this guide i dont know.
Basically you have flashed with Netchip method, which was very first appeared, but later netchip also said, to not to use, b'coz it causing raise Flash counter
as well yellow triangle.
Now onwards remember, NEVER use PC ODIN to Flash Any Custome ROM/Kernel.
I am updating link here soon, how to reset your counter. You requires JIG for that
Edit : here is guide how to reset binaru count, n remove yellow triangle
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
-------------------
BTW till you get JIG, just go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 and download and flash ROM using PC odin(here it is stock ROM u can use it safely). you will get your phone working. later you can reset counter with JIG
Download my guide from here, how to update ROM, you can use Updating ROM with PC Odin section from guide.
Many thanks again, dr.ketan for such reply so fast
Hmmmm then I will have to wait for a JIG. I will order a JIG, it seems the price is not so expensive.

My 2 cents about that question, but if I have a message saying that there is an error while turning on the phone now :
Firmware upgrade encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
The problem is, when using Kies (for Windows), it is looking for the Galaxy Note, and, even if it is connected via USB, nothing happens, it's looking long, long, long, time, then, it says that it can not find it.
So, is a JIG still required?

See, JIG is required for totally different reason.
Your issue regarding, not connecting kies / Booting phone, won't be solved by JIG.
Jig can b use in two condition. One when you are unable to enter in download mode. I think, you dont have this issue
another To reset counter, for which you require JIG in your case.
Error you are facing right now during booting of device, can be solved by Reflashing ROM. You can flash any stock ROM with PC Odin, shud be enough to solve it.
Now regarding use of JIG, just enter in download mode, check Lt upper corner of devoce, it will have number of flash you have performed, i think in your case it must be 1 or more. which in normal case should be zero. Only To reset that counter, you needs Jig.
Thanks again.
Well, I download another stock rom but I got a "fail" (red color) above "id:com", when flashing on ODIN.
I am using Windows7 and tested the compatibility mode, the problem remains.
I have .md5 file that I put on PDA part. Then I click on Start but nothing, except the "fail" message.
When turning off the phone and on, I got the other message, said in my previous post :
"Firmware upgrade encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
So, Am I missing something.
About the download mode, the number is 7 in fact.
Oh I remember the file I wanted to flash via ODIN : netchip-cwm-update2.tar
It seemed to work just because the phone turned off and I got a "green" message that said that it was ok. (PASS).
I read one of your thread, when nothing works, so that man should go here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18981227&postcount=4
but the file (link) is not working now, so I can not get the file to test :s
But since then, I can not boot on Android anymore...
Yes unfortunately link is down since 2 days
Ya thats i guessed when i read you have used superuser zip, i have said earlier in 1 msg, you have used netchip.
Anyway, once go to recovery (vol up +home+power)n wipe data, clear cache, clear dwlvic caxhe.
Then put phone in download mode. Close firewall/antivirus on pc, open odin, connect device with download mode(vol down+home+power), if id com glow yellow, thn proceed with start
Gudluck

The main problem is that, too.
I can not enter Recovery, I got the yellow triangle.
I can only go in download mode, and when turning off and on the phone, the message said above :s
is JIG the only way to solve all that?
is my phone "blocked"? I am trying to test another stock rom, I'll give it a try and let you guess what happens.
EDIT 22:37:
The flash with that rom (N7000XXLA4_N7000DREKL1_DRE) has failed, even if it is a stock one.
Can I try to use any other rom from another country? Before I tried to flash the rom, I saw it was a KKA. Can I try so with a LA3 or something else, still stock one?
Oh man, that's so bad....
I think I found the problem...
I am using Windows7 64 bits.
My wife is on WindowsXP and I am using Odin on her netbook, and it's quite better !
the flashing is going on.
Hey !!!! that's all good !!!!! ^^'
My Galaxy Notes is working again ^'^'
Maybe should it be mentionned to be careful when using Windows7 64 bits, if some other members would have the same problem when flashing their roms?
Congrates !
ya it is common problem(win7), many time it has been discussed , but it is not that everytime it not works, but it happens in few cases.
When reading your answer yesterday, I thought I might had a chance to make my Galaxy Note working again without JIG.
Now I've downloaded Samsung drivers, for Windows7 64 bits, and I can flash with no problem. I'm backing up and can use CWM
Thanks again for your help and answers
I had the same problem, but then I decided to use the ORIGINAL usb cable and see: it did the trick !!!. Even on Windows 10 64bit !.

[Q] SGH-I897 soft bricked?

hey guys, i believe i acquired a soft bricked galaxy s last night. from what the girl told me, it had been rooted, custom rom installed, and im guessing a kernel aswell.it gets past the "world phone" screen then gets stuck at the glowing android coming out of the ground. Im assuming its a kernel problem. ive tried alot of methods on here, searched alot of the forums on these phones being soft bricked. tried the vol+,home, power; vol-,home, power; both volumes, power; also tried with connecting usb and odin open; both volumes, connect usb, input batt; vol-, connect usb, input batt; ectect. i just cant get past that boot logo. I have the drivers from samsung installed but when connecting to the computer it registers that something connected but doesnt identify the phone. so is there anything i am missing guys? i read about the jig and i am guessing thats where im gonna have to go with this. no problem there; just seeing if anyone has any other ideas. thanks in advance guys!

A jig will force download mode but is only needed is vol down + power button doesn't get you in it.
Do you know if she was on gb and up? That would change your button combo to get in recovery to vol up + down + power button.
If you can get in recovery that way, you have 2 options: 1- clear cache and dalvik (in advanced) and try rebooting. 2- reflash the custom ROM she was running (without deleting anything).
If recovery doesn't work, get in download mode and flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders (in dev section). From there, you'll need to flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and you'll be able to get in recovery to flash the ROM and Gapps she was running. *Doing this will wipe her apps and apps data*

yea, whatever happens to the phone doesnt matter, its mine now, was just given to me. sadly idk what rom she was running, her sd card is MIA, and idk what OS she was running on. i highly doubt she would even know. so at this point after trying all the button combos, think a jig is the only option?
What happens if u pull the battery, replace it, leave phone off, phone must be off, connect usb end of cable to ur pc, hold both volume up and down together and then insert micro usb into phone ??
Download mode yes or no ?
If no see my sig below (if ur on a pc or in a web browser)...there are links there on how to make a Jig and/or where to buy a Jig.

Same story man. Probably gonna be jig is what it is looking like. Any ideas what cause this to happen? Ex. Not being able to enter recovery/download by using proper button combos?
Just a known issue on some Capivates. But the flash up to GB firmware is the fix for the button combos failin to work. Once u have the GB BLs ur button combos should work.
So once u get a jig, Odin or Heimdall up to KK4 with Bootloaders (heed all warnings about flashin BLs). Then u can Odin KK4 Corn Kernel and proceed where u wish.

Beauty! So that should wake it up. And from there I can reboot, find out what is it has then flash a new ROM after making sure recovery works and whatnot?
After the Stock kk4 flash it will have....Stock i897ucKK4 Gingerbread 2.3.5 Firmware.
So afterwards u will need to use Odin to flash the .tar file version of the KK4 Corn Kernel in order to get cwm recovery and go from there in the flashin of dev roms if u want.

Little precision: Odin one click is what you'll be using to flash KK4 (stock gb firmware). Odin 1.85 is what you'll need to flash Corn kernel (.tar is PDA slot).
Sounds great. Should be able to get it done today
well i built a jig using the three resistors from radioshack and a micro usb cable i found laying around. doesnt appear to be working...
ok, so i needed an actual samsung cord......plugged it into my computer and it started charging
ok, got it! now searching for correct drivers. apparently i had the wrong ones

Try holding volume up + volume down and then plug in the USB cord that is plugged into your PC. This should take you to download mode. If this doesn't help you will have to purchase a jig

Galaxy Note Trouble

I got my Galaxy Note today, I was on 4.0.4 and I rooted it. Then I went to recovery mode and flashed teh recovery there is on clockworkmod webpage for Galaxy Note N7000. After that wipe factory and flashed PA 3.94, and it got stopped and reppently it turn off and I am not able to turn on the phone.... please need some help
the recovery for N7000 is in the kernel so the clockworkmod website flash of CWM doesnot stick.. boot into download mode and flash a stock rom ( preferably JB) and start again
I cannot access download mode I think....
Was it Cwm.zip by any chance?

As an ex-N7000 owner (I still browse these forums from time to time), I can tell you the Temp (non-touch) CWM you flashed is safe for for wipes and formats (hence no problem when you did factory reset with it). HOWEVER it is is not safe to flash ROMs where the zip file contains an updater script with format commands coupled with an update binary which does not suppress "secure erase" commands (Running on top of On ICS kernel - subsequently fixed by Samsung on JB kernels).
With CM.10.* ROMs there is no problem, but some ROMs still use bad update binary (probably from Android kitchen). I feel PA is the culprit in this case.
So it would now seem you are 'Superbricked". Only solution is repartition or new MOBO.
Edit: J-Tag won't work unfortunately.
Will try repartition, if not will try JTAG and if it doesn´t work will send it to service centre. But how to repartition if I cannot access Download Mode?
Download Mode is essential in order to flash required modified PIT file for repartitioning. I assume you can't enter recovery mode either right? That being the case service center is the way to go. J-Tag can't fix bricked areas, but may be also able to re-partition.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

I mean I cannot access download mode, or maybe idk how to do well, but if I cannot access download mode that maybe means I am hardbrick and not SuperBrick, and Hardbrick can be fixed via JTAG or at least it says here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656635
I just tried adb devices, not found. I connected Odin, not found. I try access recovery mode, impossible and I tried download mode(maybe idk how to ) impossible.
Also I have not battery signal when I connect phone for charging...
I think you may be both hardbricked and superbricked at the same time (Same as what happened to me). That is the worst case scenario Practice download mode more to see if you can get into it, and, if successful, flash stock GB with PC Odin. Otherwise try repartitioned PIT file from @hg42.

Okey, will try, about JTAG or JIG I think maybe it can get "alive" the phone and let me boot into download mode, idk if is like that There is a sequence for download mode? Try with or without batter? idk so much about Samsung, is my first Samsung Phone, and about you, what you did with it? Did you change your Note? Can I have what the guide call Died Brick?
I got a refund and put it towards Sony Xperia Z. J-Tag may fix bootloaders and bring download mode back, but bricked areas will never be recoverable. Download mode is 3 finger "salute". Forget the combo ATM. Don't have the device

And if I get download mode via JTAG and then repartition? I mean the only solution to bricked areas go good is via repartition,no? And for repartition I need download mode...
I AM STILL THINKING OF THIS, BUT NO SURE
There are three types of bricks for N7000
a) Soft Brick - Stuck at Samsung Logo [Added BootLoop here]
b) Super Brick - Stuck at flashing Factoryfs.IMG in ODIN . Also called as EMMC Bug....
c) Hard Brick - Sorry Unrecoverable by this guide. Try THIS
d) Dead Brick - No charging battery sign also - Mostly = Hard Brick ; But there is a window of possibility by a JIG.
If that guide is good, my device is on d) , but idk what JIG do
I mean if I JTAG will I can use my device? What problems will it have? And if I use JIG, what problems I will have? WIll it work good?
I have just see this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0SX3iDuIZc
Do that video says I have to JTAG, then use the JIG for going on download mode and then, repartition or install JB ROM from Odin? Please just say me, I can try today
OKey have just commented with some DEVs. Jtag will repartition all for get it booting, so I am gonna try the JIG for see if I can get download mode. If I cannot I will make JTAG(will repartition) and then I will use the JIG for get into download mode(I also can make with hands), so if JTAG work I just need to flash JB via ODIN, my question is, can somebody send me a guide or link for JB to N7000 via ODIN?

And is really incredible how is easy is to get brick on samsung phones WOW! I am DEV for Huawei u8800pro, I made so much things and stupid things to my phone and never got bricked, never(also huawei has pink screen feature) but never, will take more care since tomorrow
I THINK DEV MUST PUT A GUIDE LINKED ON THEM ROMs THREADS, FOR PEOPLE READ IT BEFORE INSTALL
The guides are already there in the stickies, people just don't read before flashing.
