[Q] (Q) HELP....GT-N8010 bricked ?????????

Hi there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 WIFI (GT-N8010). I had it rooted, custom ROM on it.....frequently forced closes so i decided to cleensweep the thing. Went into TWRP....did factory reset (wipe cache, Dalvik and System) and then formatted DATA.
So no OS anymore.
Then when i wanted to flash the custom ROM (from external SD like i always do) again.....it got stuck.......couldnt flash it it said. Okay.....so.....now what i thought. I tried the procedure of flashing with the galaxy Toolkit. Doesnt work because it waits for "debug enable"....but there is no OS.....so cant do that.
Then i made the biggest mistake i guess.
I flashed new firmware through ODIN.....but accidently for the GT-N8000. Strange that the procedure went well.
Then it came: the device got stuck on the Samsung logo.....no bootloop....just the logo. When i restarted the tablet it went strait to download mode (power and vol - normally) I dont even get the choice of cancelling or continue to download mode. The screen looks like this:
ODIN MODE
product name: gt-n8000
current binary: samsung official
system status: custom
(and then in gray) RP SWREV: A2
And NO custom binary download: no
When i go into recovery mode (power and vol+) it goes strait to the android with "downloading, do not turn off device"
WHAT HAPPENED ????
And does somebody know what to do PRETTY PLEASE
Hope you guys know what to do....or is it bricked ????
PS. It's still seen by Odin !

I had the same problem as you, and I had to flash via Odin v3.09 a firmware 4.4.2 and it rebooted fine.

just flashing 4.4.2 didn't do the trick. ...odin said "fail" when trying to flash the nand. I had to flash another pit file with it. Why that had to be done I don't know. ..just read it somewhere.
Thnx for the reply

Could I please have a secure PIT file for the GT-N8010 16GB bought in France? I've bricked my Note 10.1 after updating to the official Kitkat (N8010XXUDNE4_N8010OXXDNF1_HOME.tar.md5). I did a wipe data and cache and all seemed to be working fine for 2 days... but the tablet got stuck on a game and after a force close has been stuck in a bootloop with no access to recovery mode. I do manage to get into download mode and have tried to flash a number of times with different roms (going back seems to be impossible with KitKat) but to no avail as I keep getting an issue about 'no PIT partition'. I took it to a shop (as my warranty ran out a month ago - lucky me!) and they were also unable to flash the tablet so the issue does not seem to be the cable or the drivers (as Odin recognizes the tablet). I tried flashing with a PIT file (ticking re-partition with and without the kitkat rom) that I got on some website but I'm not certain it is the right one for my GT-N8010 and it also fails. Before I try a Nand erase I want to make sure that I have the right PIT file. By the way does the PIT file you have work with KitKat as the one I found seems to be for an outdated version of Android and as Kitkat doesn't enable one to go back to an older version of Android I'm in a catch 22 with only the Nand erase option left?
FYI, I tried flashing a recovery like TWP to try flashing custom roms but it also doesn't work.
Any other ideas? Should I tick Nand Erase and Phone EFS Clear. As the issue seems to be the kitkat bootloader is it possible to flash a bootloader? Can't find any trace of anything other than the tar files for GT-N8010 in Jelly Bean or KitKat. Anybody have a bootloader, PDA, CSC and Phone file for the GT-N8010? Can one attempt the following on a GT-N8010: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757&page=2 ?
Thanks for any help as I've been without my tablet for weeks now!!:crying:

I just flashed the wrong bootloader file onto my N8010. Luckily it's still working!
Still looking for the correct KitKat bootloader, but I'd happily take the pit file and see if that works.
Pretty Please!

Lucky me! Flashing the wrong bootloader probably didn't work. I was able to flash a stock KitKat rom yesterday and my device still seems to have a working pit file.
Details: German Note 10.1 GT N8010 updated to KitKat, but the pit file seems to be older. Any other info needed?
This is how I got the pit file.
Code:
sudo heimdall download-pit --output Samsung-Note-10.1-PIT.txt
I had trouble opening the result in a text editor, so I'm not sure, I got it right. You'll probably have to rename it... Let's see, if I'm allowed to upload.

Thanks... Any idea what the name of the original PIT file is?
(I believe it should have the .pit extension. I hope I can rename this file accordingly?)

Sorry, no.
Heimdall doesn't seem to care how the file is named. I'd hazard a guess, that it's similar for most Samsung devices.

help please. .
Hi
Any chance of sending me the PIT file. . I did the same! :'(
Thanks in advance .

PLEASE HELP, cant ODIN back to stock

Everything was fine. tried the minuit (or however you spell it) mod. Ended up in a boot loop. i can get into download mode fine. Downloaded the stock firmware to odin back and start over, but when i try, it checks the MD5 just fine. starts the "setupconnection" then i get a fail "can't open the serial(COM) port.
Am i doing something wrong here? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

What firmware version were you on before bootloop and what version are you trying to ODIN?

You need odin 3.10.6 and make sure you downloaded the latest stock firmware .tar. when flashing, don't move the phone, cord or laptop (if thats what you have).

Not completely understanding you. Are you saying Odin is failing when trying to Odin latest firmware?

Yes, I failed to flash the latest firmware by ODIN 3.10. I read another post mentioned PIT file to flash to avoid this issue. However, I don't know where I could download the PIT file for this phone.

used one of these when i had recent problem.
edit: try to use the same firmware your currently on (what i did) and the thing that worked for me was using an older sammy usb cable. Beleive it or not the original one kept failing on me. i had a thicker black one that was from my s4 maybe or note 2 i think and used that one and boom went thru. good luck

Stuck on boot, can't flash stock firmware

As it seems you have downloaded it an older firmware than you have flashed. That's why it gives you an error. You should flash the latest!!

I think I am in the same boot, I've tried flashing the stock rom at least 8 times with no luck even it says it passed, I even flashed modem and bootloader with with stock rom,

I don't have the files anymore. But what I had to do was this:
Download the latest Stock from Sammobile for your phone. Make sure it's the latest, that will give you the latest Modem and Bootloader.
With Odin (right click and Run as superuser), flash the Stock.
Also then Flash TWRP.
I would search in Youtube, I think I had found videos of people doing what I'm suggesting. Hope you can fix it!

Although it IS NOT recommended to use pit files, give it a shot. If your phone is already kinda bricked then you won't loose anything at the trying!
I recommend this firmware and that pit
I'm not responsible your your device is completely destroyed after this. At the odin don't use re-partition

There is no pit partition. The pit file is a file that describes the partitions on your phone for Odin. It's stored inside your Bootloader but you don't have to worry about that.
If your flashing from Odin it will use your current pit for flashing. If you are installing a new stock rom a pit file comes with it inside the CSC .tar.md5
