this is as far as things get .
please could someone help iv been with out my beloved phone for a few days now
on the phones screen the status bar just hangs

This point to the case of superbrick mate. It has caused damage to your system and maybe also data partition. If you have warranty try to seek help from service center where they will replace mobo. Otherwise only repartition can help revive your phone. Follow the link from dr.ketan tool box in his signature to the guide for revive superbrick note cause by emmc bug. Hope you can make it. Cheers.

Its really bad sign
Hav you ever performed wipe on ics?

I mean to say, if you have performed it earlier then chances are there your device is bricked

Ok, I did what you said, now it just goes to 'logo_ql.jpg' draw failed. It also wont let me get back into download mode, it just goes to this message. now what?
EDIT, nevermind, got it into download mode... guess i just need to keep trying different roms to figure out which one works?
You said your note came from repair and it was on download mode. I think it was NOT REPAIRED AT ALL. Country or region has nothing to do with manual flashing. You only need region when using kies to update.

Tbere is no need to try different roms as every rom is like same. Not much difference. Maybe your device is hard bricked and writing isn't possible. Get your motherboard replaced.

Don't ever wipe using stock ICS kernel. It will hard brick your device. I think now already got affected. Flash a safe kernel first then wipe.

So I have a question. I had tried rooting my device and it failed into a soft brick. Previously I had jzo54k on there. Using Odin I installed the Poland software but it seemed to have failed because now I am not able to register on a network. I have an international version of the Note 2 that I am using in the US. Since I am not able to connect to a network I am lost as to what to try. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Hi
My stock JB official unrooted rom suddenly went to a bootloop. I looked up online for solutions and flashed an official JB ROM for my phone and Odin failed to flash it. I tried Philz recovery but Odin failed to flash it. I got a yellow triangle which I was able to removie through Odin. Currently my phone is stuck on the splash screen. Recovery doesn't work. Odin fails when I try to reflash with a md5.tar file. Please experts help me with my problem. would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Note wont start. Stuck at screen recovery...

Hi, im sorry if this has been asked before. My friend wanted to root and flash a custom rom to his note. At first, the rooting is a success. However the problem appear when trying to flash the rom. I dont know what rom was he flashing but coz my other friend with a note helped him with the flashing.
however, after flashing, the phone got softbrick. Then he try to fix it using odin but even odin got stuck at flashing yaffs.img( something like that). Tried kies but still no result. The screen shows " firmware update interupted,use kies"
The phone come with a stock ics 4.0.3, is that seems to be the problem? Can anyone helps..?

We really need to know what rom he was trying to flash. Was it custom, perhaps cm based? It sounds like it's failing at factoryfs. Img which is typical brick bug scenario.
Best to try flashing stock gb, see if that will work, if not you'll have to repartition the emmc or send it for a mobo replacement.

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback.
At the moment I'm flashing GB using Odin 1.85. It's not failing it's stuck on factoryfs.img, Ive been gone for 2 hours and still on factoryfs!
Did you perform a wipe while on the rooted ICS ?
It sounds like a probable brick..
Seems higher chances of bricked

I didn't read any review who recovered same way have amy stability or other issue, just N-joy! N explore reborn device now.
Anf yes loss of 3gb is not problem, but indeed it is solution to ur problem, sector which was damaged has to be block. Yes if you have claimed warranty you may have not have it.

Insert SIM / no IMEI / baseband unknown after official JB update

hello...after the update from GB to the russian JB ROM i have these problems: insert SIM,my IMEI is missing and baseband unknown...i have followed the exact tutorial..i have had galaxy ace before so i'm not a total stranger to flashing thru odin...i have tried wipe data , wipe cache, factory reset, rooting and deleting dalvik cache and nothing...i reflashed back to GB..worked fine but with the same problems...everything is working fine , wireless and bluetooth...i can boot into recovery mode and downloading mode with no problems...i have read some things about the EFS folder...i didnt do a backup of it...any advice?
If the imei is missing, you destroyed the device. You can try to get it back. There are a few guides. Or you can get it serviced..

i had done it... so my phone still bricked or ?

so it mean my phone fully recover or ?
It will never fully recovery but if you flash a gb rom then the phone might startup.
After using the repartition method, the phone might not be able to handle JB.
