    Post (SOLVED) PIT/Bricked/Dead problem on GT-I9300 international

    The last time I had this problem was with Verizon note two and it ended up being bad emmc. Had to get new phone under warranty. Got new phone, followed same procedure and everything went according as planned. It came down to being a hardware issue instead of software.

    Post i605 verizone galaxy note 2 unbricker

    I haven't tried rooting this phone in years but I went through the same thing as you. Verizon did something so that (way back then, I don't know about new rooting techniques) this phone wouldn't run anything but a stock recovery. As a matter of fact I tried to install the same recovery and got...

    It's been years or however long since note two came out since I've done rooting. I'm not up to date on what to do but I bricked my phone with the triangle and notice to contact Verizon but this is how I rooted my phone.

    You are. You're past the lockdown battle between xda developers and Verizon or whoever. They locked it xda unlocked it, they locked it again, xda unlocked it again. They locked it back and nobody can't unlock it no more. This is my understanding. Some of the seniors may correct me. You have to...

    I don't know what you're trying to do but I can tell you what I've been through. I have bricked my phone several times and have gotten it back every time using Odin except for the time Odin kept giving a failed notification. I tried everything I could think of for over two weeks and couldn't get...

    You may have a bad emmc. That was what was wrong with mine. Either buy a new motherboard or see if the carrier will send a new phone. They sent me a new because it was less than two years old.

    Post (SOLVED) PIT/Bricked/Dead problem on GT-I9300 international

    Ok problem solved I talked to jtag. It seems that if Odin is giving no pit partition there is a bad emmc The only way to fix is replace the motherboard (our emmc or you tube video for help) with a good imei motherboard or use the insurance which is free because it's a known issue with note and s...

    For those of you who don't know.Google implemented an SD card write restriction on 4.4.
