Well you have to try to enter download mode first.
If the jig doesn't work, your Note is done for. Good rule of thumb is, if you are even 1 % unsure, WAIT IT OUT.

That's what you should have done in the first place. You might be better off trying to get a warranty replacement. If the phone is bricked, they won't be able to tell if you tried to do something to it anyway. Just an idea. Hope you learned your lesson. Should have been a given.

About a half hour of reading in the first place would have saved you the 600+ dollar paperweight you just created. In a half hour, you could effectively figure out that n7000 ROMs are a big no-no for the i717, learned how to root your i717, learn how to flash CWM on your i717, and flash an i717 ROM to your i717.
Not to condone screwing over AT&T, but I would suggest you do the following, if you by chance have the monthly insurance on your phone: report it lost or stolen, pay the $200 deductible to order a new one, then take your old one which is now completely useless, and smash it with a hammer, run it over with your car, burn it, spray paint it, burn it again, smash it some more, wrap a strip of firecrackers around it and light it off, use it for target practice for the nearest firearm or paintball gun, then put it in a display case to keep in a prominent location in your home or office as a reminder of what a lack of reading can do to your device. Then, while you are waiting patiently for your new i717 to arrive in the mail, take the time to READ everything you can about your specific phone so you know every in and out of it before it is in your hands.
All joking aside, the best you can probably do is report it lost or stolen, order a new one, and then see if somebody needs it to try out JTAG repairs for the Note. I'm not sure if JTAG has been accomplished on the i717 yet, but that's probably the most use your phone will ever provide again.

It's probably best to do it through att warranty as it will be added to their refurbished units.

Op does your phone do ANYTHING AT ALL? bootloop, hang at splash screens, only show charging symbol when plugged in? All of those aren't bricks and are recoverable
If your phone just sits there and does absolutely nothing, nothing at all, like a corpse, then that and ONLY that is a brick.

I have been told by a friend who had a look at my phone as it will not switch on after I tried to root the phone.
I have been told that I put on the wrong OS on the phone & it has messed up the battery partition, so the phone thinks it has low battery power, thus will not switch on.
Is there anything I can do about this by unblocking it & if I can, could anyone tell me how to do it?
Thanks.
Thanks, you made me laugh (I genuinely laughed out loud reading your post, sorry).
No, you've broken your phone.

Charge the battery in a separate outlet for some time, try booting into download mode, if by chance you get it then you are saved. Just download any official ics roms and flash it via odin

This is terrible advice...
Sounds like you are suggesting that he PM a random dev for help when it appears like he flashed a firmware meant for a different phone.
Most of the time this happens, and the phone no longer boots AT ALL (as mentioned by the OP), then no one here is going to be able to help. It will usually require Jtag repair.

I think the easiest option for me is to return the phone to my mobile provider (which they want £150 to give me a totally new replacement handset), which I don't think is that bad really.
I don't have another device to charge the battery up on, but I'm still thinking that it will still tell me that it has a low battery to download when put in download mode (which is what it is doing at moment, even though battery is fully charged).

You clearly weren't paying attention when it was said that no amount of help via this site would make a difference for the OP anyways. From his post, it sounds like he (or someone else) had flashed a firmware meant for a different device to his phone, and it now does not boot. That requires either Jtag repair or a motherboard replacement. Neither of which is possible over the internet.
And you seem to think this forum is some kind of tech support forum. Which, while people who are NOT paid are often kind enough to help out people who are having trouble with their devices, it is NOT. It is a developer's forum. Maybe you should give this a read.

Samsung offer a two year limited warranty .
Vendor usually twelve months warranty in the UK .
But as phone has been rooted all warranty null and void .
Flashing the wrong firmware likewise .
Custom rom the same custom rom counter above zero the same
So sales of goods act does not apply has phone has been modified by the user .
Custom rom root etc warranty voided see well posted letter to service centres from Samsung .

Is there anybody out there that can make me an ODIN tar of the Novena J2 rom? It's the only way I can flash the rom on my phone, and I am unable to do it... yet. I will gladly donate!

Well ... I own an Xperia U, and if you ask me, don't go for any electronic device without warranty.
My xperia u developed the infamous "touch screen not detecting in some areas" problem within a few months of buying.
Luckily, mine was within warranty and I got it replaced ASAP. So, for me ... no warranty is not worth buying at all.
I'd also not buy something without a warranty. My W810 had a speaker and camera fail, both can be fixed yourself, but better to get it done proper IMO.
Thinks like mainboard can't be replaced so easily, although they shouldn't fail anyway, depends how much you're paying really.
Or u can test all the hardware there
Sent from my ST25i using Forum Runner
Hey dude.. Chill. I bought my Xperia U without warranty for a mere 11K INR. I tested much of the hardware there and I knew that software problems can be corrected. I have a sister who has a Galaxy mini and her camera was blurred. She didn't have warranty. She went to the Samsung shop and got it repaired. I had a Huawei ideos u8150. It got stuck in a bootloop because I overclocked it too much. I went into recovery and did a factory reset. That's it. No software issues.. No hardware issues. I would buy it.
By the way does Sony repair your phone if you don't have warranty and are on a custom rom locked /unlocked bootloader? They will charge you. But will they repair it?

I didn't say that every mobile phone on eBay is fake. What I said was that I had a bad experience. When I asked for advice in the eBay Community they said that fake electronics - especially mobile phones - are quite common online and you have to take precautions.
Back to the OP's point, no, I would not recommend buying a phone without a warranty.
Ok here we go, I used Casual to root my i605 and flashed the wrong Rom(Hawki s4 for the 7100) it worked but it didnt recognize my sim card. Then the next day I started getting a yellow triangle saying unauthorized software found on device. Please power your device off and go to the nearest Verizon store. it would still work just no sim reading. Now it only will show the yellow triangle. I need to unroot the phone so I can send it back under warranty. Got a replacement already. Just need to return the old one so im not charged 600+.

What you should have done in the first place, instead of asking for a replacement and conspiring to commit fraud, is flashed the phone back to stock via Odin. This is why Verizon locks the bootloaders, people mess their phone up BY NOT READING and expect the carpet to replace it instead of owning up to their mistake.
Since you haven't been reading here is a link to droidstyles guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
Section 1b explains what you need to do. After you fix the phone, which is very easy, *you* need to read the WHOLE GUIDE at least once before you do ANYTHING to your new phone. If you have any questions about anything ask the community.
Next time read before you do ANYTHING! If you mess your phone up, by flashing a ROM or tweaking with it in some way, grow up and accept responsibility for screwing it up and either fix it yourself if it's soft bricked or have it JTAGed (by the guys at http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/) if it's hard bricked. Don't commit fraud by forcing Verizon to pay for your **** ups, the community does not appreciate that because *WE* end up paying for people committing fraud.

It is fraud because you directly said you need to return it for warranty.
Addition: I did try flashing in Odin but The Odin3.07 on my computer didn't recognize my device. I do have the Samsung device driver on my laptop it just wouldnt recognize the device. Believe me I search for weeks before I even made this post.

The problem isn't that you made this post. If you had made this post upon first realizing you had flashed the incorrect rom you wouldnt have had to contact Verizon at all. The problem is you ARE committing fraud. The $100 or $200 you paid to replace your phone is subsidized by the warranty/phone insurance which is void if you have tampered with the phone's software, or are the direct cause of any damage caused to it I believe. Your mistakes affect everyone on Verizon. XDA is founded on the sharing of knowledge. Dont bash someone for tough love and A DIRECT LINK to exactly what help you need.

And this thread is prime exame why carriers are locking bootloaders...I guess I will break out the crayola crayons for the next guide I write.
The reason why odin did not recognize your device is because casual borked the driver...this is explained in the stickies.

You have been given the link to Droidstyle's guide by shangrila. All the info has been provided to you. If you can't follow directions to fix it, that's your own fault. Droidstyle's guide is written extremely well so you can't blame it on anyone but yourself. So when you can't fix it and you get charged for the phone, I'm pretty sure you will blame this community for not helping but no one will care. Have fun
Similar incident happened to my GN2 (Casual crashed my phone). Read droidstyles guide, and was up and running.
I panicked at first, but kept searching & found what I needed. Hope this helps!! There are VERY knowledgeable people here to help, but you MUST try to fix it yourself first, or ask WHERE to find a thread/guide. THANKS!!

In terms of fraud, I don't understand all the fuss. The op is simply trying to restore his phone to stock for a warranty replacement. Big whoop. But yes he should do due diligence by reading and searching before posting for help on doing the restore.

Mature is growing up and realizing that YOU ****ed YOUR phone up and fixing it if you can or buying a new one if you can't fix it.
What's immature is you coming on a forum and bragging about committing fraud. So that would be you my good sir.

exactly my point when I said calling the kettle black...
a mature individual would man up and pay the piper for his mistakes....instead of committing fraud for a simple mistake that could of been easily fixed by following stickies in this forum. a warranty claim is there for when a device fails mechanically or at the hardware level...its not there for incompetent users who cant follow directions. again this goes back to my post why verizon and other carriers are locking bootloaders. the yellow triangle is there to let verizon know you are a noob that tried hacking the device unsuccessfully.

OK, upon rereading I see the guy screwed up his phone by flashing the wrong rom. He either irresponsibly didn't read up enough or irresponsibly ignored warnings to only flash roms made for your model.

Yes and then he doesn't bother to try and fix it, he called a Verizon and got them to send him a new phone by playing the "I don't know what happened but now it is bootlooping" card instead of owning up and fixing his **** up. That is fraud, why we pay such a premium price, and why they're locking our bootloaders.

Ok........ for all the know it alls. I wasnt returning for a software issue. I was returning for another because my child broke off a piece of the headphone jack in the port. that was my error, it's an insurance situation not warranty. I have another I bought at full price and I do have more than one that I flashed I just never ran into the triangle. Everybody is so concerned about committing fraud when ppl already committed fraud by unlocking their phone flash back to stock rom and sending it back for warranty. I never committed fraud because I still have the phone. I spent my money. I came here for help. Not for people to be condescending. I own up to my fault. I appreciate the help. For all the mature people.

Thats a cop out...if this was the case you would of mentioned in the first few posts, not after being put on blast for fraud.
Its not fraud to mod your phone, all that does is void the warranty. Putting it back to stock and sending it back is far from fraud as the device was returned as recieved. However bricking a device because you do not know what you are doing and then calling verizon for a warranty replacement is fraud...Nice try
