Okay so if you can get into recovery, then you should just flash any ROM from the development section of these forums.

You flashed a different phones rom. Which means the scripts and the radios and everything is off. Don't flash anything that doesn't have a T989 flashable thing oon it. You got lucly. Most people have a full brick. Be careful next time. And go to the Developers section. Download a stock 2.3.6 or Juggernaut v.4.1 and flash in this order
1. Place file on root of sdcard
2. Reboot recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik cahce (found under advanced)
3. Flash the rom you desire
4. Reboot.
5. Let it sit for a good 10 minutes

So is my phone bricked? Cause my friend told me it's boot looped. My current sdcard is from my old phone and doesn't have enough space, but I ordered a new one recently and should be coming in tomorrow or tuesday.

Answered you in the other thread you posted as well ...
IF you can get to download mode, find the Stock ODIN flash for t989, and follow the directions, ODIN does not care how full your SD card is ...
Then just odin. Find a stock one that has an Odin Rom next to he title and flasheed that.
1. Go into download mode, turn off unplugged. Then hold volume up and down and then plug in usb chord.
2. Open up odin 1.85
3. Click the pda part and browse foot your rom.
4.click start and be patient don't touch anything

Is this the same thing as putting the ROM on the SDcard and doing it from there?

Yes and NO ...
the term flash or flashing means writing new files to the phone ...
ODIN is pretty much a Samsung factory tool, it will overwrite anything that is on the phone with what you are trying to flash ..
Flashing from CWM recovery is a "Softer" way of doing it, it may or may not wipe, it may or may not replace corrupt files, depending on where and what they are ...
IF you are having major trouble with your phone, and can still get into download mode ODIN is the cleaner way to flash it back to stock, but, read read read read till you understand what you are doing, then read it again ....
Strange thing happened to my phone yesterday night. I was watching netflix for a while and after some time the screen just went blank. I am not able to restart the phone. It got struck in the kernel bootup(Darkside kernel, TDJ's darkside rom) and it was restarting again and again till i remove the battery.
I am able to get into recovery mode but not able to restore any of my backup's. It just went blank during restoring system. I tried installing the same ROM(Darkside Digitsl warfare v2.5.1) from my internal SD card but it just went blank after some time. I tried the juggernaut-5 . It didnt throw up any error but when i restart it its again displaying the darkside kernel and boot looping.
Any one can you please help me to get out of this mess. I need to travel on Monday so desperately need my phone fixed before that. Please help. I have not installed anything new over the last 1 month and didnt have any problems till now. Thank you
System Details:
ROM: Darkside Digitsl warfare v2.5.1
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7

Try it again. The phone has to be in download mode before you plug it into the computer. And are you flashing it as PDA? People have reported it taking a couple tries.
Usually if you can get into download mode you can fix it. If you're stuck and your computer won't recognize your phone, try getting back into download mode. If you're sending it in for repair anyways, it's better to have a full brick so they can't see that you rooted.
Another option if you can't get into download mode, buy a USB Jig, they are usually less than $10 and they can sometimes get you back into download mode.

What screen are you talking about? The download screen?
If you're seriously wanting to give up trying, and want to brick it, try flashing a stock rom from a different phone via Odin.

The strange thing is i didnt do anything on my phone for last 1 month. The only thing i could think off is, one of scheduled titanium backup ran at 3.00 AM when i was in netflix with the phone charging,and i got a msg that the backup failed. When i woke up it started boot looping. And during the ODIN i tried today, I was making sure i am doing right by following the guidelines(ODIN back to stock).
I have all my nandroid backups(different rom versions) & titanium backups, will i be able to use it in my new phone after rooting with the same recovery version?

Are you running Odin as administrator?
Manually download the device drivers from the how to root thread and install them on your computer. right click on Odin and run as administrator. Open the stock rom file in the PDA field and run it.. There is no reason it shouldn't work if you can get into download mode.
Try downloading the stock rom again, maybe it's a bad download.

Im having some trouble and am wondering if someone could help me out. I came from red's freegs3 R6 rom and I decided to use the super wipe zip found in the op. I followed instructions to the T and when I tried flashing this rom (xquizite) after the superwipe my phone rebooted into the galaxy s 3 screen. It wont move from there. I cant access recovery because it seems that superwipe wipe the recovery too lol.
I boot into odin and all I get is downloading do not turn off target. What is it downloading?
I guess I have to flash a new recovery but I cant access anything on my phone. I'm trying to use the toolkit found in the sticky's but I can't get usb debuggin on to flash the recovery. Can someone help me with steps to get this straightened out.
Its booting into download mode. Install odin onyour pc, download the latest firmware, plug in your phone and go. Theres plenty of tuts on odin and I dont want to mess something up by going from memory.
I dont think superwipe does anything to recovery so not sure what hapoened to you there.
You are not bricked though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You aren't bricked, I can tell you that. Have you tried to Odin back into stock?
I'm downloading stock rom now. This means I need to reroot right?
Clearly there is a miscommunication on what Odin is. You don't boot into Odin you boot into download mode. Odin is a PC app that you use on your phone while your phone is in download mode. It isn't downloading anything unless Odin is pushing software to it from your PC. It just always says downloading.

Okay thanks for the correction. Yes im in download mode. Is it okay to push any other rom rather than stock thru odin or is odin made only for stock pushes?

If someone makes a tar package....it flashes tar packages to the phone containing modem, system, MDM , data and partitions basically whole stock firmwares I am going to find u a package that is already rooted and ready to go in Odin. If u do it any other way (root) u will have to flash an insecure kernel. So this package will flash the stock firmware and root u from there I suggest flashing recovery right after. I would use twrp.......follow directions carefully here.....download goo manager beta from market then install it open it give it superuser perms. Then hit menu on Ur phone and go to "install open recovery script" this will download recovery (twrp) and install it for u when it says its done just reboot into recovery. IMO twrp way better then cwm and cwm is somehow always linked to imei. Always disappearing ...never heard of any problems with twrp and it does backups and restored quicker.
OK so basically to be on the safe side u need to flash stock recovery on your phone first so the Odin package completes with no problems. This will also be a tar.
Then u will flash the stock ROM tar
After that Is complete u will be rooted and have stock ROM
Now do as I said with the goo managerapp
Here is link for stock ROM with root included...thank Mr.Robinson

So download the Odin program I linked u then download the stock recovery tar. Put your phone into download mode...pull battery out put back in hold vol down home and power. Then when it tells u warning blah blah just hit up. Now connect to PC and start Odin. U should see on left side it should say "added" that means your connected. Now hit PDA find stock recovery flash it. When that's done and it reboots go back into DL mode. Now DL the rooted stock ROM package and extract it to your desktop when it is done being downloaded. Now repeat process hook to PC hit PDA find stock ROM tar on your desktop flash it make sure u don't hit anything else in Odin just PDA! Leave everything else as is. Now that should take around 8 min to flash when that is done u should be running newest ota uvalh2 rooted. Boot up and do the goo manager steps I told u to get recovery or u could use ROM manager for cwm but I do not recommend it with this phone. Good luck and don't use the super wipe anymore .....for your sake

I remember superwipe doing this when I owned the g2 it always messes my recovery.

I actually wouldn't recommend using superwipe since it wipes your internal sd card.

So this is kind of a unique issue i'm having. I have the I-747 on AT&T and flashed AOKP rom (it was taking too long to get JB). It worked for about 3 days and then got stuck in the android boot screen (used the rom feature to get rid of the pink unicorns). after that, I booted into recovery and reset my phone, and it worked again for a few more days, then it wouldnt boot again (I dont believe I changed any settings between the boots). After this time, it wouldnt let me boot into recovery and would only boot to the android start screen and stop. I used odin to flash the stock rom, which only took me to the 2nd samsung boot screen and stopped (after the AT&T splash shows up). I looked online and saw someone say try CF-root using odin, tried that and it didnt help. Then tried using a custom kernel siyah s3, and now it will only show the initial samsung splash screen before turning off again. Any suggestions here? I figured I'd stop researching since i dont want to really mess up my phone worse than it already is

Thanks guys! So I used odin to flash the stock boot loader and stock rom, but it is still hanging up on the 2nd samsung screen like it initially did (the one after the AT&T boot animation). Any other ideas on what could be the cause?
How long is the hang? Sure is just not the 1st initial boot of the new rom?

The first boot can take as long as 5 minutes sometimes. So, if you haven't waited that long, then try out some patience. Otherwise, try booting into recovery (stock now) and factory reset.

I have this same issue. I have restored to stock rom and it does the Samsung boot, then AT&T, then it goes to Samsung pulsating with a blue pulsating LED.
I have left it in that mode for at least 15 minutes and it never boots.
I can still get into download mode.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I let it run for 2 hours (left the house came back and i was still on. And phone wont boot into recovery at all ( i tried many times, but it just boots normally and skips recovery until it gets to the 2nd samsung screen, then stops there).
I dont know if this is relevant, but while the phone is off and plugged in, i can still see the battery meter and the Green LED (so i'm guessing it's still working, it just wont boot)

I went into recovery many times before, I'm definitely hitting the buttons right but it still wont go into recovery, it just tries booting like normal. I can go into download mode easily, but that's it.
jbizz, did you start getting this error after flashing AOKP rom also? trying to figure out what could have caused the issue in the first place
I'm not really skilled on these things, but I once had a similar issue with my phone not booting and had to end up using Kies to emergency restore it. Odin wouldn't recognize my phone but kies would.
Although I think my issue with odin may be stemming from my computers usb ports...

I actually flashed a bad kernel and the phone wouldn't boot after that.
What is the proper way to boot into Stock Recovery?

Fixed it! What I did was go into Kies software and did a firmware upgrade instead of trying to flash from odin, then put it in download mode instead of recovery, but it still worked. Thanks for all the help, guys! guess it's time to move to a CM based rom?

Sure, I'm doing this largely from memory since I mostly figured it out by throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.
Open Kies->tools->firmware upgrade and initialization->enter model name then serial number (they're behind the battery) -> put the phone in download mode and plug it in. it should take care of the rest.
Fair warning, this will fully wipe your phone, i lost all my pics (thank you google+'s instant upload or i'd be PISSED) and titanium backup (there goes my 3 stars on every level in angry birds and great scores in temple run), but at least you get a phone that can function as more than a paper weight, right?

Hi Guys,
So I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that as of 5 hours ago was completely stock and running android 4.3 (the official one from AT&T). I got bored last night and decided I wanted to root my phone (something I hadn't yet done in the entire year I had my phone). So I looked up how to root, read the instructions all the way (I thought my research was complete). I rooted using the CF auto method. After doing that I flashed TWRP using ODIN. I also downloaded Titanium Backup, Rom Manager & My Backup Root. I tried to use all three of these applications to make a backup of my device so that I could flash the custom Rom I wanted without losing all my information. That is when my troubles began.
Whenever I tried to access any of these apps I got a pop up saying Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped and a notification stating An attempt to access a secure area on your phone without authorization has been blocked. None of the apps would run either and just kept freezing or loading forever.Thinking I'd done something wrong I repeated the root process all over again. I still kept getting the same notifications though. I typed in the unauthorized access notification message into google and discovered about Knox. Doing some tinkering of my own I went to settings (more tab)>>security>>device administrators>> unchecked knox>>deactivate. After deactivating Knox I once again tried to gain root access and had no success. I followed the advice from previous threads and tried to change all Knox.apk files to knox.apk.bak using Explorer, I downloaded Android terminal and tried to delete knox via the command line su pm... That also did nothing. I went to the market and tried to download the SuperSU app by CHAINFIRE, it wouldn't work as it already says the app is installed but offers me no updating options. I also downloaded the Update SuperSU zip file and tried to flash it. My phone wont boot into recovery though so that hasn't gotten me anywhere. Downloaded Rom Manager and GooManager to try to get into recovery mode and still no success. later flashed philz_touch via ODIN as people who had similar problems had posted about it working for them. Didn't work for me. Flashed TWRP again using ODIN and am now just scratching my head trying to figure out how to fix this issue.
I'm personally not worried much about the warranty stuff but am more concerned with the fact that I can't root my phone. All I want is to be able to load a custom rom (MIUI v5) onto my phone. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.... If you've seen someone else with an issue like mine please just redirect me to the proper thread then.
p.s. I also tried running the root verify app and it got stuck on a loading page.
When I power my phone off and boot into recovery mode (or whatever its called) my stats read as:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SGH-I317
Custom Binary Download: Yes (7 counts) - this is from all my attempts to reroot and flash different recoveries
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Knox Warranty Void: 1
AP SWAEV: A2
Not sure if it matters but my phone still works fine and I can make and recieve calls, texts, etc so it doesn't seem like anything is "broken." Just no root access on a rooted phone.

As for flashing it your TWRP I can't because I can't load into recovery mode with TWRP. The only thing thats working for me is ODIN. Not sure if there's a way to flash from ODIN or not but I personally don't know of one (I'm new to ODIN).

Here's a copy to flash in ODIN. If you can't boot into recovery after this, there are other things we can try from ODIN.

the link. the tar file is the same one that I've been using though so not sure if it'll work or not. When flashing it should I still be under PDA or should I switch to phone, csc, etc?

I flashed the first recovery file but it still won't boot into recovery for me. When I try to boot into recovery it keeps taking me to the default recovery screen. Tried launching titantium backup and what not again and they're all still not working for me.
Got the philztouch one to flash. Still won't boot into custom recovery though.

K. Try this. 69% sure it will work.
- Download from http://d-h.st/CDK
I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.zip
- Extract the .zip file to get to I317UCUBMK6-TZ-PARAM.tar.md5
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode.
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Open ODIN and place the I317UCUBMK6-TZ.tar.md5 file in PDA and flash.
I know you know how to do all that's written there, I just copied and pasted from a post.

This didn't work for me either. Not sure exactly what's wrong with my note but I may just have to give up on gaining root access. maybe i'll try a different method to root.... I'm 100% sure I'm rooted though based on what the phone says when I boot into the default system recovery. Just don't understand why I can't gain root access and boot into custom recovery. Thank you for all your help though you've been an absolute doll. :angel:

No worries. I aim to please.
You aren't the first this has happened to. Just trying to remember what I did. I know what I did to fix it, I think it's this version though.
Download and try this one
http://d-h.st/OYC
It's the MK4 version of the earlier param/tz you tried.
That should have worked, clueless why it didn't.
...
ODIN this one, let it reboot back into ROM.
Power down, go into download mode and flash either one of the custom recoveries.
Let it reboot, power down, then try and go into recovery.

It seems my life has become a horrible case of Murphy's Law (as far as rooting this dang phone goes). So I used the 4.3param_tz.tar file that you posted previously. After being flashed via ODIN my phone automatically booted into Philz Touch recovery more. I initially decided that I was going to flash the SuperSU update then but decided to wait as I wanted to follow the instructions completely and flash TWRP instead. rebooted the phone. Turned it off again and booted back into recovery..... I was once again met with the default stock recovery (I thought my problems were solved and was already half way through writing a post to you confessing my love).
At this point I proceeded with some caution and tried to flash TWRP. Didn't work. ODIN/my phone kept getting stuck in recovery.img. Disconnected the phone after a couple minutes, pulled the battery and rebooted into stock recovery mode. Once again ODIN/my phone got stuck on recovery mode. Tried flashing 4.3param_tz.tar again and this time got stuck at param.bin.
Did some Google searching and people recommended re-installing the drivers, re-installed device drivers and rebooted into stock recovery mode. Went back to ODIN and flashed TWRP. It flashed completely and automatically rebooted the device. When I turned the device off again and tried to go to recovery mode I was again taken to the stock recovery mode page. tried to reflash 4.3param_tz.tar and it got stuck on param.bin again. Since then I've unplugged and rebooted into recovery mode countless times and tried flashing any and every thing and I keep getting stuck at either param.bin or recovery.img.
I have to go to class now so I'll probably come back sometime tonight and try to re-install the drivers and see if I can get param to flash again. If you give up completely I understand. The longer this takes the more convinced I am that it's a sign from above that I simply need to get my ass a new phone.

Hmmm. Maybe it's my fault.
That's my last name for reals.
So the param/tz you flashed I previously posted, was the first one or second one?
Try flashing the first param.bin/tz.img combo.
Sorry for the run around.
My fault again. When i posted the Philz recovery I should have mentioned either one would have been fine.
For the custom recovery, it gets down to personal preference. Both versions are working fine. They both are touch. You are just going to have to play with both and see which one trips your trigger.
I'm getting lost where we are at.
Try flashing the original param file from the 4.3 OTA. Let's see if that completes successfully. Then we'll go from there.
I'm thinking
-Fix booting into stock recovery.
-Do chainfires CF-AUTOROOT in ODIN.
-Boot phone and try updating Supersu again

I'm in the same boat this person is in, and i was about to open a new thread. I hope you don't mine joining in for help. My husband was a ninny and accepted the full OTA when I only told him to swap over his cards into the new warranty exchange we just got in. So I didn't know about it until I started trying to root and running into problems. I ran the TZ.tar.md5 file in Odin. I tried this little method here mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50532028. I can't get anything to happen other than watching the flash counter go up. I just want root so i can restore his app with Rom Toolbox from his other phone...... This Knox thing is BS......

A ninny. Something my wife has never called me I'll have to admit. Don't think she's ever considered that, I'll have to confirm that.
Back to work.... what does can't get anything else to work mean?
So what have you did? Any of the steps listed above?
We haven't heard from LadyF so assuming she's good to go. No reason to open another can't root thread.

Thanks for getting back to me. I tried the CF Auto Root file in Odin. I tried just flashing a custom recovery so I could flash SU to gain root. Those are the 2 main things I remember trying..the rest is a late night blur. I was going to just try and flash one of the rooted stock roms, however, and this is kinda' sad, I don't remember which spot to place it in Odin.
