OK my PC froze and rebooted in the ODIN modem flash process. Now my phone only has a solid blue light in the top right corner (status light)
I can't get to odin download mode, or android recovery.
Any help here?
do you have a usb jig to force it into download mode? sorry to say man but you might be bricked. try taking out your battery and push the power button and hold with battery out for like 10 minutes. leave the battery out for another 20. hook it up to your computer with no battery try to put it in download mode again. if that doesn't work you may need a jtag as its more than likely hard bricked.
usb jig?
I will try those right now.
Thank you very much for your info

Unplug your phone and remove the battery, put the battery back in, try to put it back in download mode. If that doesn't work you will have to take it to sprint and hope they exchange it, I think I answered this question earlier today.

I've tried pulling the battery. Same thing, just blue light.
It has a bad ESN, can't go back to sprint. Samsung maybe...
I found the jig you were talking about, I bought one on ebay. Fingers crossed that'll work for me.
ya you might need to have it jtag. good luck man hope you don't need to do that man
jtag?
What's that?
Essentially it means pay somebody with special equipment to flash your phone. It is a hardware-level connection used to flash but often isn't exported in a nice easy to use interface once a device goes into production.

Hello Good people of xda forum
please i have a very big problem at my hand involving my newly acquired galaxy note II, the international version and i was hoping that some of you could help me out here because this is driving me nuts.
My galaxy note II is 2 weeks old and i rooted it 5 days after i got it with Odin and everything seems to work smooth ever since.
My problem now started yesterday when i stupidly went to install the chainfire 3d plugin because i wanted to try my older games that worked better on my qualcomm desire HD that wouldn't work well on my note II and what happened next has left me with sorrows since yesterday evening.
My lovely Note won't boot up anymore. It always gets stuck on the samsung galaxy note II logo. I am on the stock samsung rom.
I have tried everything i could read online to get it working including entering clockworkmod recovery, wiping data, cache, daivik, factory reset, formating sd and external sd card and nothing seems to work.
I have even tried entering odin download mode and downloading a custom firmware to flash but it keeps saying ''downloading'' but never finishes.
I am helpless now and do not want the 619 EURO i paid for this phone to be a waste. I can't return it since it is already rooted and i cannot unroot it in it's current state.
Is there any way for me to copy over the stock rom zip file to the external sd and flash it from there? If yes, can anyone provide me with a stock rom zip file to flash as i cant seem to find it anywhere?
My galaxy note II is the international version, bought at Saturn electronics shop, germany.
I will also admit that i am not so good with the technical stuff so a little explanation could help.
Thanks all.
There are stock roms in the note 2 forum here on XDA. You can boot into CWM recovery and mount your SD card to be able to use on your laptop/PC. If that fails, you can get the Android SDK specifically adb and push it to your internal SD.
I've done the same on my old Galaxy S2, so don't worry it's recoverable! I suggest getting a stock rom and flash via Odin, failing that use the method I mentioned above.
I apologise if I'm unclear, I'm exhausted tonight!

Best thing to try in ur case is make a full wipe and factory reset from recovery then to flash stock rom using odin then to make a wipe again if any problems,this should solve ur problem. Good luck.

Thank you both a lot. I am trying your solutions now. I will post back if it worked.
You both are life savers. My phone is back up and running.
Can't thank you all enough.
Thanks.
Any luck with your Note II ?
You can also download a custom rom , then put it in an external card
Slot it in the phone , do full wipe and flash .

Hello, sorry for late reply. Here is the link you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Search for your country's version of the stock rom and download it.
Download also the odin files included in that first post.
Once you have the stock rom for your country and odin files downloaded, unrar them if they are zipped and place their folders on the desktop or somewhere else you can
easily find them.
Now open odin from the folder you unrared and turn off your phone (your phone shouldn't be connected to the computer at this point).
Once your phone is off. Press and hold simultaneously the volume down button, home key button and the power button. Keep holding them until you
see the samsung logo. Then let go of the buttons and your phone would enter downloading mode.
Now plug in your phone via usb to your computer and a blue light would show on odin with COM written in it.
Now check the box next to PDA and point odin to the tar file contained in the downloaded rom folder you placed on your desktop and hit start on odin.
A progress bar would now show on your phone indicating that odin is flashing your phone with the stock rom.
Once it's finished successfully, it will show on odin "passed" in a green light and your phone should reboot and voila, your phone is now clean as new.
From there, I believe you continue on your own. Now disconnect your pbone and enjoy.
There are also pictures on the link I posted that would explain the process better.
If you any further questions, just ask.
Good luck.

What do you do if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone plugged in the USB? I tried to delete the Samsung Drivers and reinstall but it didn't work. I can get my phone to Odin mode but can not get it to flash.
PLEASE HELP.
Make sure you've installed Samsung usb drivers.
Edit: should have read your entire post *sorry* Make sure there are no other usb related proggies running; they might interfere with your sammie usb drivers..

FTFY... Moving on. You need to make sure the battery is charged. It sounds like it might be dead. What button combos are you trying for Download/Recovery?
what is siyah when i do a search all i get is a galaxy s2 kernel is that what you flashed
Where did you get this Siyah tar from? What is the filename? Did you want to use it just to root the phone? Was it made specifically for rooting Galaxy S3's? I have a Bell Galaxy and flashed the whole pre-modified/rooted Bell system tar to get a rooted stock system (I believe it was in one of the sticky posts.)
But since you can't get into download mode... shoot.. that won't help you. I wonder if the USB Jig could help you at this point?

Measure twice, cut once. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727443
International Roms are not for Us/Canada GS3s. Do some reading first before you flash anything.
Use this link, make your own. You are not hard bricked. And this will get you back into download mode ( my son loaded an i9300 on his i747, same thing as you did, and it worked fine ). The resisters required you can get from radio shack or what ever you have close for pennies. Will cost you less then 2$ in parts and you don't have to wait for one to ship and arive.

thanks im going to try this right away.
ok so i pulled the battery for half an hour and was able to get into download mode! Phew! all is going well now. what a freking night mare! lol. Thank you to all who replied and lesson learned.
I would like to apologize in advance if I posted in the wrong category (I think it's the right category). As the title says I have done a mega wipe with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) and completely removed the OS along with the System Recovery and everything. It is basically just the phone and nothing inside. When I plug it in the computer, my windows OS makes a sound signaling it detected a device but then nothing happens. I do see a red light turning on my Galaxy S3, I think it says it's charging. Tried accessing the recovery mode, but no luck.... So my question is...is there any way to reflash an OS? Thank you so much XDA!!
If you can get to download mode, you can use Odin to flash a rom. Why would you wipe the recovery partition?
You need some JTAG action.

Hi My friend this is happened for me b4 and this what I did
1- take your battery out for about 5 Minutes.
2- Download Odin and The firmware orginal no rooting no custom recovery ** I started with ICS from Samsung-update.com***
3- Start Odin Don't add firmware yet.
4- Put your phone in Download mode by holding Volum down+ home+power and when the screen come push volum up to go to download mode.
5- Now connect your phone to PC and Odin will see your phone on which com.
6- Now add the Firmware by clicking on PDA when it say ready just click start on odin.
7- You are back on orginal Rom ( No root or Custom recovery) and you can go from there.
Good Luck
IF I Help Hit Thank Botton

JTAG repair is done to your phone by an expert with special equipment. You would need to bring your phone to them or ship it off to be fixed. Google '(your city) Jtag repair' . No boot but still having a sound from connecting to PC is a good sign that your bootloader is corrupted.
If the computer makes as noise when you plug it in, try for download mode... Even If the screen of the phone doesn't turn on try to connect and use Odin, sometimes Odin will pick it up...
