Please Help! SII Stuck On Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue screen - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Basically My galaxy S2 was rooted and do not remember the root name etc... everything was working great until I installed a new font, the phone rebooted and was on start up screen for more than 3 hours.
After looking for solution and fielding with it, I ended up in worst place now!!
Cannot enter recovery mode anymore (volume up + Home + power)
The screen is Stuck on "firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
Cannot connect with Kies
However I can enter the Download mode and connect with ODIN
Tried to install many firmwares but ODIN fails!!

Post in Galaxy S2 threads I'm sure there is the answer..
also provide more details i.e. Odin log/output

I did the same exact thing. Went to s2 forum and it shows u how to reset your phone to factory. Then all you need is to re root and voila. Back on game mode!!!::good:

n7100 stuck on boot screen, nothing seems to help!

So my phone was working perfectly fine until two days ago it rebooted itself with no apparent reason. After that the phone stayed stuck on boot screen (Where it says "samsung galaxy note II GT-N7100).
I can't get into recovery mode, but can get into download mode.
I tried about anything to fix this but nothing seemed to help and I'm starting to lose hope. I really wish you guys can help me fix this, because I'm having trouble facing the fact that my phone can just die on me and i have nothing to do about it (I have no insurance on the device).
Thanks in advance to anyone who wishes to help!

This just happened to my GT-N7105 too....
....for the second time! lol.
First time i solved it by using Odin, flashed CWM then checking to see if CWM could mount my SDcard, i loaded up a ROM in it and reboot into CWM and installed the rom from there. SIMPLE!
This time, my CWM works but it can't mount my SD-CARD... :crying:
So, i'm just gonna flash in another rom with Ordin and see what happens! lol.
If you need help using Odin, try this guide:
galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/
Granted it's a bit old, but it might still work (im using this guide too!) Only difference is that you'll have to flash in CWM instead of a ROM and we should use latest ordin 3.7.
So good luck to you and me! :good::laugh:

I am not able to go into download mode. Now the screen just hangs on "Galaxy Note II" logo. Even if I switch off the phone and connect it for charging, all it displays is "Galaxy Note II" logo instead of BIG Battery Charging Icon. Now am not able to boot into android also. Any Help?

I've got the same stupid problem. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo. Can't get to recovery, I can get to download. I've flashed stock at least 5 times now, even tried cwm. Odin says successful/pass, phone never boots past this initial screen. What is going on?

Press vol. up + menu key and then Power key if your phone is stuck on boot screen for 4~8sec, and don't leave the button until your phone get restarted and for ~3 secs after.

yeah, this just happened to my moms note 2,
we were outside and she was using her phone normally until it suddenly started to reboot repeatedly.
i knew it's not her firmware nor her kernel cause they're all the official ones,
luckily my father has a note 1 which uses a battery of the same size, so i tried it's battery and it worked, so i put back the original battery and wala,
worked like a charm
have you tried to install custom recovery? CWM or TWRP or Philz and then install a custom rom from the recovery?
If someone can't go to download mode there is a micro usb callesd usb jig(you find it on ebay) that helps you go into download mode.
Oh my God!!! I inserted the spare battery that i had into my "bricked" note 2... And it got a life.. I can't understand the logic behind this.. Its a topic worth research!!
BTW, thanks to rZZ87

I recently brought a tmobile unlocked, Samsung galaxy s3, T999.
I tried to upgrade firmware with samsung keis, but it stucked at 0.
Then I tried, Emergency Firmware Recovery, it also got stuck.
I rooted it and applied a custom rom, CyanogenWIZ(Found on xda top review rom)
Then i wasnt able to turn on wifi, SIM not detected, etc.
Then I wiped all data, reset the phone.
It didnt goto the home screen, stuck at loading(with that google 4 colord dots).
I could ONLY access, Recovery Mode and Download mode properly.
THEN
Finally was able to reinstall the stock rom,

Do you have the T999 or the T999L model? Check before making any other procedures since it seems you've done many without knowing exactly what you were doing.
Also, stop making multiple threads about the same issue. Apparently, you made 4 threads discussing about the same issue.

[Q] ATT SGH-I313 Note 2 bricked/soft brick issues

So I have an Att Note 2, which is bricked or soft bricked. I am a very rookie Android guy when it comes to modifying or hacking. I did root my Note 2 with Cyanogenmod. However, I missed S Note and the use of my S Pen so I researched a bit to get back to stock with the use of Odin and stock roms found on the net. I was successful, and actually amazed it worked. Long story short, a few days after that, an OTA update hit my phone, didn't even think about it and began the download. The phone downloaded the update, and rebooted to complete the install. The problem is, during reboot, the phone got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen. I researched a bit online, and everyone said get to recovery mode and do a few things. Problem is, I can't get into recovery mode, I can only get the screen described above, and the download screen, THAT IS ALL. Looked a bit more online and attempted to flash various stock roms with Odin. Some were successful, Odin passed, and the phone would get stuck on the Note II screen again, and would not boot into recovery mode, same issue with only being able to access download mode. The unsuccessful flash attempts got me to screen informing me that Kies needs to be used to update my firmware. Kies showed a recovery code, which was downloaded, but unsuccessful. It would download all the way, but at the end of install, it would fail. Funny thing is it would work enough to get me back to the ability to get into download mode. I just want my Note 2 working again. Is there any way to wipe my phone completely clean, and start over? Or is there any way to even re-root it, or flash any sort of rom on there, just so I can use the damn thing? I need some help by you pros out there ! Please!

Try flashing a recovery for ur device with Odin, not a ROM, just flash twrp recovery with Odin, after u flash the recovery u will be able to access recovery and flash a stock ROM through twrp. I think what happened to u is when u flashed the update it tried to right over the unlocked bootloader which caused the soft brick, try flashing the recovery for ur device and if that doesn't work try the above posters way...

[Q] Bizzare Softbrick

I am happy to be a brand new member of XDA
I am also a noob:/ I have been on this website for a while now and have found nothing for my problem with my SGH-I317 Galaxy Note 2...
My Problem- I installed CWM custom recovery it wokred fine I installed CM 10 (that was a week ago). yestarday I went to turn on my phone when i woke up. It showed the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" and then went CRAZY the logo spazzed and then just turned black. I immediatly went into odin and flashed my only stock rom the SGH-I317 android 4.1.1 because I could only access the download mode. I went to go and do an OTA update to 4.3 (I think I messed up right here). It went fine up until it restarted and and froze on the Galaxy Note 2 logo. I can still access Download mode but I cant get into either stock recovery or the custom recovery mode. I have tried flashing three different stock roms and Odin says it passed but it just reboots and stays on that logo. Please help I am not in the position to buy or replace a new phone (I'm only 14).

Galaxy tab 3 gt-p5210 (white 10'1") wifi welcome screen only after using ODIN to root

Galaxy tab 3 gt-p5210 (white 10'1") wifi welcome screen only after using ODIN to root
Please help me. My knowledge is severely limited and i do not understand a lot of the terminology used here. I downloaded a file called ODIN and followed the instructions carefully to root my galaxy tab 3. Eventually it came up as "Passed" on the computer screen. "Yes"! i thought "I've rooted it". However after unplugging it from the computer my tablet is stuck on the welcome screen which simply states "GALAXY TAB III...
I have tried many remedies most of which i don't understand. The only thing that i can get the device to do is if i press power and volume -. This gives me an option to press volume + which takes me to the screen used in order to instal software onto the device. It says in the top right corner:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-P5210
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
in the centre of the screen is an android with the words "DOWNLOADING...DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" obviously there is nothing dowloading. I have tried redoing the ODIN procedure but still it remains stuck on the welcome screen,.
I have read about recovery mode but there is no recovery mode i can access on this device. The only functions are the 2 screens explained above. I have not messed about with anything i shouldn't have. I just followed the instructions which worked but have left my device stuck on the welcome screen. From what i've read it appears that this is called stuck in boot or boot loader. I would be very grateful if someone can take me through what i need to do to remedy the problem so that i can get my tablet working again, preferably rooted, however even putting it back to normal will do until i learn more about this stuff.
Please someone help me with this. I really need the tablet.. I would be extremely grateful and would learn in the process. Fingers crossed. Craig.

You definetly need to use Odin and flash a custom recovery like TWRP (preferebly). That's your first step so that you can restore your tablet, If you're having issues.

Could you elaborate on how one would do this? I think I'm having the exact same problem. Also, I can't seem to download any TWRP files, it gets blocked by my anti-virus.
Thanks
You flash twrp with odin as well. Boot the phone into download mode. Load twrp into the pda slot of odin and make sure repartition is not checked. Then hit start. Once finished you access recovery by holding vol+, home, and power until you see the tab3 splash, then release power but keep the other 2 buttons held in until it boots to twrp.
You may need to turn off your antivirus if it is blocking twrp downloads...
