so I was installing a new boatloader through odin and it failed to install; so I disconnected it. Ever since then, my computer simply will NOT recognize my phone. I have tried every possible method (using different slots and cable). Still, it will not recognize my phone at all.
Has anyone here ever encountered a similar situation and have found a solution?
I would highly appreciate any help. Thanks
What does the phone boot to?
Have you tried a USB jig?
The bootloader takes seconds to flash. Did you really press start and immediatly pull the USB cord? or did it not complete then you pulled the cord? If the latter, what did ODIN say in the logs?
I can get into odin or recovery mode with no problem, I loaded a custom testing version of an ICS Rom that failed to completely install.
I am waiting for my usb jig to come in the mail.
It installed like 80% and then said failed, then I removed it because it said it failed.
I know all my drivers are good because my sister has the same phone and it is unrooted and odin recognizes it fine.

If you can get into Odin mode then Odin should be able to recognize your phone. Are you sure that Odin on your PC is not recognizing your phone?
Also, try flashing the el26 stock rooted update through cwm. Calk has the appropriate zip over in the dev section.

Where did you find a boatloader for our phones?!?!?!? That would be a truly Epic accessory for all boatloading enthusiasts! Think of the activities!
Haha, in all seriousness though, I hope you can get it figured out man, bricked phones are no fun!
yes, im 100% sure, Ive read of a few cases of people having similar problem. Problem that come from disconnecting a phone while loading a new boatloader. Once that happens, odin will not recognize a phone even if it is in Odin mode. Ive spent atleast 15 hours in total trying to get it to work

Is this one made for E4GT or one for the european GS2?
If you can get into recovery just take the sd card out and put it in a sd reader and put a rom on there and flash it. I would use the stock rom. Something simillar happened to me and this is how I fixed it. I didnt have a card reader so I just used my digital camera, Thank god for that!!! Hope it all works out.

Good question! I almost bricked my phone by putting a rom on there that was for the international version! You need to triple check to make sure what you are putting on is actually for your phone!

Your problem isn't that you disconnected the phone while flashing a new bootloader.
Your problem is you flashed the european GS2 version of the bootloader. After doing that the USB port is pretty much disabled and nobody has found how to enable it.
interesting... any theoretical methods to get it to work? do you think there will be a solution to fix it?

Nothing should be flashed to the Epic Touch unless its in the development section for the Epic Touch. Even then you should read up and know the pros and cons of flashing it. I don't recall anyone getting their phone back after doing this.

Well Mobile ODIN won't flash the bootloader AFAIK, so if you have no way to flash the bootloader, the only other possibility will probably be JTAG, which is basically opening up the phone connecting to some pins/leads on the board and using some software to flash. I haven't seem anyone posting about this but probably there are techs who have the proper setup to do it.
damn, do you think if I go to a sprint corporate store and just say I was trying to update the phone via samsung kies OTA or something, will they be able to fix it? I am waiting for my jig to come in the mail to clear the download count, any opinions what I should tell sprint to avoid getting my warrenty voided?

Ya because like everyone else said flashing that file that wasnt for your phone messed up the sd reader. Same thing happened to me once but I was still able to acess the internal storage that the phone has built in but i didnt have any roms on there. I was however able to flash through odin and dowload mode. Thank god that worked for me! If that isnt working for you I gotta be honest I really dont see a way to get the phone back up and running but I am by no means a pro. I would keep at it. When I almost bricked my phone I was going to give up too but I stuck with it and the fine people on this site pulled me through! You are at the right place trust me very smart people here!
thanks, this phone has been bricked for a week, Im still waiting on my usb jig to come in the mail so i can hopefully clear the binary download count because I want to take it to sprint? since my usb and sd reader isnt working, will the usb clear the odin thing? if it doesnt, im completely screwed. im willing to short out my phone worst case scenario... I need it a replacement (i dont have insurance but i have warrenty)... any ideas? should i short it out or take it to sprint... what excuse should I make up if I decide to take it?
Will the usb jig clear the download count even though my usb and sd reader doesnt work. (the phone still charges through usb)

Ya if you have warranty i would actually just short it out! I had a friend that had an iPhone and he hooked it up to a computer with a messed up usb. It shorted it out, he took it back with his warranty info and walked out with a brand new iPhone no questions asked. If you dont and they see that it was routed you are going to be **** out of luck I can tell ya that. They definitely will inspect it to make sure there was no foul play with it trust me, best bet if you cant get it running is to short it out, and use the warranty. When you take it in just say it went off and you couldn't get it to go back on.
Honestly breaking the phone is your best option since the insurance will cover that. If you short it out or make the batter overload while it's in the phone then it's covered by the warranty. Also, clearing the download counter is pointless - if Sprint does manage to fix your phone it'll be pretty obvious you did something that made it FUBAR - mostly the international GS2 bootloader. Also, isn't the international GS2 GSM? Which means you can't reset it using a JIG, GSM versions don't support it.
Either way when you get a new one - make sure you read EVERYTHINGlet me say this again since people seem to take this stuff lightly: READ EVERYTHING BEFORE FLASHING if we had ICS for this phone don't you think the Dev section would be blowing up with ICS ROMs? Common sense seems to be the one thing that isn't common anymore....
Hope you figure something out though but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Hi all,
I tried updating my galaxy s2 with ICS with Odin, but it failed. Now i get nothing but this message: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The problem is that neither Kies or Odin will recognize the phone. It will not go into download mode using the traditional method of holding volume down + power. My PC also does not detect the phone.
Is it dead?! I've tried reading, but no one seems to have absolutely no access to their phone. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
As always, uninstall kies then install it again.If you did flash stock ics and you have sd card, put siyah kernel ( as I think it is signed) and almost any rom there, put sd card to phone and try to boot into recovery ( power+home+ vol up) then install siyah, reboot and hold same keys and install the rom you downloaded

Mak: Thanks for the suggestions.
I uninstalled and then installed Kies. Neither Kies nor my PC detects the phone. I tried another computer and do not get detection there either.
I cannot get into recovery (volume up + power + home) or into download (vol down + pwr).
I do not have an SD card, unfortunately.
What else can I try?!
Then you need jig to get your phone working again.

hi
do you used intratech firmwares or from other sources?
so i realized that I tried to flash the wrong fw. my phone is the epic 4g touch for sprint. i tried to put ics on there.
how likely is it that the jig will work? i will order it if it is meant to address the problem i'm having. even with the jig putting my phone into download mode, how can i load anything if my computer will not recognize the phone?
i might have just bricked the phone. how likely is it that the sprint store will try to fix it for me?
Wrong forum. Ask here.
If they notice what you did to it, you'll be paying for it to be fixed. Maybe. You might also be lucky. Jig won't work, nand is borked. Return to service center or JTAG repair.
I think you're right. I'll try to get lucky at the sprint store tomorrow. If no luck, then on to a JTAG'er (any recommendations?).
The link you posted is for epic 4g, not epic 4g touch. I know, confusing. Probably why I'm having this issue to begin with.
Thanks again for the help!
Odia does jtag's and he seems to be pretty good at it
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
Yep Makrilli is right, Odia is a good choice. Or these guys. Haven't used them, but people on XDA have.
I got this message before, too. It happened when I plugged in to the bad cord I had. Odin recognized it until it was in the middle of flashing. Are you sure it won't go back to Odin? Mine did. I'm using it now. I don't think a jtag is what you need, unless you want to give them a really easy one? Good luck!
I had a similar issue, but kernel(rogue touch kernel) had a bad flash. It would play the boot animation and shut off. I couldn't get into CWM or download mode(they both did boot animation and shut off). I let it sit for two hours(at work and could only try on break). On my second break I repeatedly try download mode and after about 20 tries it opened up download mode. Good luck

Thanks for the suggestions on Jtag'ers.
Kill and Atticus: I tried repeatedly to put it into download or recovery mode. It just won't do it. And even if it did, my PC doesn't detect the phone at all. So it would be useless to have the phone in download or recovery modes anyways. The phone won't even charge while connect to the PC.
I haven't made my way out to Sprint yet, but will be doing so in a few hours. I'm betting they're going to send me home with my tail between my legs. I'll then check with Amazon to see if there's some kind of manufacturer's warranty I can take advantage of. Then, Jtag as a last resort.
If anyone has any suggestions, please share. Thanks!
OK. I talked with a Samsung technician (my phone is still in warranty) who said that the phone is acting up. He sent me a UPS label to ship it to Samsung for free repair or replacement. They said it'll take about a week. Hopefully they don't say it's my fault and refuse to repair it. Hope I get lucky.
Hey... i searched for a solution and couldn't find one....
So i tried to install the Omega rom, the process went by pretty quickly, that's when i became suspicious.
Now i can turn my phone on, but there is something... strange... for instance once the screen turns off, the phone plays dead until i restart it.
i can get into download mode, and i did, tried to install cwm6 again, but it didnt work.
and if i try to go into recovery mode (vol up home and power) it just hangs on the "Samsung galaxy note 2 n-7100" screen.
Thanks for the help in advance =]
edit: Forgot to mention, if i plug it into the pc, windows/kies doesn't recognise it.
:< Please help me i am completly lost and beating my self up for trying this foolishness
Did u check "usb debug" on your device? Try samsung driver instead.
Try reflash recovery via pc odin again.
Might wanna try TWRP as people have been having issues with CWM when flashing ROM's.
Hey thanks for the answers, i indeed check usb debugging and it is on.
i also relized i SOMEHOW managed to download the galaxy s3 rom instead of the note 2 rom and flash it, and i guess thats the problem, however im sure it didnt flash right, any way i downloaded the correct rom and flashed it using mobile odin, every thing worked fine
however i still cant get into recovery mod, and the problem where the device stays in sleep mode is still there...
Im going to try this TWRP thingy now

By the way, as noted by Adam Outler, you should not use ODIN to continuously flash ROM's. Just to reset phone if needed. Using ODIN to flash ROM's will only turn out badly.

Sorry you're not having much luck. Maybe one of the brilliant devs will hop in and lend some thoughts. I'm out of ideas at the moment.
Thanks any way dude, appreciate it.
Im going to sleep, but let me reiterate the problem.
- Tried to flash a Galaxy s3 rom onto the Note 2, dont ask me how i made this mistake
- something.. happened during the flash
- now the phone wouldn't connect to usb (so i cant use odin) and after the screen turns off it wont turn back on again without switching the device off and on
- eventually downloaded the note 2 rom (omega) and flashed it using mobile odin, this time the proccess finished fine, but...
-Still cant connect the phone to the pc usb, (it charges tho, drivers are installed)
-Screen still wont come back on after it turns off
Shameless bump =[
Man.......
im guessing this problem is not a common one eh?
I hate to spam but im really lost, having this 600$ mirrior feels bad :<
Have you tried flashing a stock rom with odin mobile? I've not used odin mobile so I have no idea what it can and can't do. But you could try flashing a stock rom and then put Cwm or twrp after you have checked it

Long time listener first time caller (this is my first post here) I'm going to try not to leave out any details. Bear with me.
I rooted my Tmobile Galaxy s3 for the first time and installed CM10.1. It was great for a few months, then it started getting glitchy. So I would flash the nightly release and it would be fine for a while. I decided to unroot and start fresh. It was then that I discovered the PC wouldn't recognize the device. I followed a youtube tutorial to unroot with Mobile Odin. I extracted and flashed a stock image called Tmobile_GS3_SGH-T999_4.0.4 after clearing counter with Triangle Away.
Well it seemed to go well, unrooted my device, but now the OS is incomplete. No internet app, messaging won't work at all, and it keeps crashing and freezing. The usb port is still not working so I cannot root with my computer, and the flash counter still says 1 and status says modified.
Tmobile sent me a new one on warranty, but I'm really worried they're gonna charge me 500 bucks because it's "modified". I have a few days before I have to send it back, Is there anyway that I can fix this without connecting it to my computer? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

First thing to do is to put the phone into DOWNLOAD mode to TEST it and see if ODIN will recognize it.
If Odin recognizes it then there is NO need to send it back to Samsung, all it needs is a proper Odin flash.
Just because when all those missing apps and the usb had issues it does not necessarily mean that Odin will not recognize the phone.
If your computer is not working or you don't have a windows computer find a relative or a friend who has one.
Even a laptop computer would do just fine.
Good Luck!
Tried that
Thanks for your response, I have tried connecting it to Odin in download mode and it still will not see it. I really don't know what the problem could be. the usb used to work fine and there has been no physical damage.

Try a different usb cable and or plug usb into different port,
if that fails, re-install the Samsung usb drivers for the phone.
Remember, if the phone goes into download mode 99.999% of the time the phone
can be flashed successfully using Odin.
The main reasons for usb issues in "download mode" are either loose connection to computer's usb ports,
usb cable intermittant or the Samsung usb drivers in the computer are corrupted in one way or another.
Thanks again
I guess I should have put this in my first post. I have tried 2 different cables in every port on 2 different computers. I have re installed the drivers multiple times as well. Also the new phone they sent me is recognized just fine.

You are in a tough spot. I don't know if you have the stock recovery or not but if not you can either download the stock rom on the phone again...you know the best way although unethical really...being that the usb port is down is to re root it and flash a rom like the gt 1300 or whatever the international version is and intentionally hard brick your phone. Hard brick meaning won't even turn on withOut jtag and that even just clears everything out and reloads software like from the factory.If the phone won't boot up then there's no way for the person to tell its been modified. Majority of the time samsung doesn't get the damaged phones its some idiot making 8 bucks an hour to refurbish phones. That's what I would suggest you do being that the counter is still saying one flash

Pretty sure I'm on stock recovery. it does give me an option to "apply update from external storage"
Thanks for all your help, I'll try to flash the stock rooted rom through the stock recovery although i'm not optimistic.
I will check out the wicked rom you mentioned, although I am a little hesitant to root my new one after this ordeal.

If you can get your phone to boot normally with any stock rom rooting will not be a problem at all.
If you get the phone working and booting properly you would be very lucky but from reading
everything you have wrote so far I highly doubt that you can successfully flash any rom at all
unless you have forgotten to tell us something.
Don't worry about rooting, worry about getting the phone to boot and work properly with stock rom.
yep. running stock recovery. hopeless?

I never said a word about stock recovery, I said STOCK ROM.
Invest in a JIG, it puts your phone into download mode instantly even if you cannot
do it manually with the three buttons as long as the phone is not completely dead.
You can buy a jig for less than $4.00 shipped on eBay, it's great little tool.
All you do is remove the battery from the phone and put it back in then simply plug
the jig into the usb port then in a couple seconds it will be in download mode then you
can unplug the jig and the phone is ready to be odin flashed..
Remember what I said before, just because the usb did not work with some
rom you flashed it does not mean that it will not work for download mode.
The jig was one of the best investments I have made when I started using these samsung android phones.
Once in download mode it will allow you flash the stock or stock rooted Jellybean 4.1.1 rom.
This is my best advice.
I am not having a problem getting into download mode, I will take your advice and buy a jig though in case I ever need it. Again, thanks for all your help, I think I may have to send it back and hope for the best.

Before sending it back, if I were you I would find a friend or family member who has
a windows computer and just for the hell of it install the usb drivers in the computer
just to see for sure that while in download mode and connected usb cable if Odin still
is not lighting up the [COM:xx] top left rectangle on Odin screen.
I have odin flashed many phones dozens of times in the past 3 years and I have yet
to come accross one which goes into download mode but odin is not reconized
unless there is something wrong with the windows computer or usb ports and drivers.
That only happens as I said before, if there is something wrong with the drivers,
usb ports and or usb cables or some other malfunction in the windows computer.
Just think, if it works no need send the phone to samsung plus you would have learned
something too.
I did try my other computer with the same results, tomorrow I will try it with my girlfriends laptop, I am starting to think something happened to the usb jack. It didn't work before I unrooted it either, that's why I used Mobile Odin. I am all about learning this stuff though. I plan to root every new phone I get, this has just been a little frustrating.

This is the first I heard that the usb did not work before and the usb socket might be broke.!!!
In that case since you cannot use the Wifi in your phone to transfer and install apps since it cannot boot normally
(unless I am missing something again) and you cannot use usb and it would not even help to remove the external
sd and copy any apps at all since you would have no way to install the apps.
Then you are right, you have to send it back, exchange it and hopefully you can come up
with a good enough excuse why it's not working so samsung will not charge anything )which I doubt)
I must not have been clear, I can use the phone. it makes calls, the wifi works, i can use third party messaging and browser apps. again, there has been no physical damage. the socket worked a few weeks ago when I rooted it. I only noticed it not working when I went to unroot it.
So basically it sounds like there is no way to root or install custom recovery without usb, correct?

I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2 sgk-i317 16gb with a removable micro sd.
Yesterday I was trying to reset my phone and I did something wrong.
I somehow deleted my OS
The phone will boot in the "Downloading..." mode or doing the up volume to get to the TWRP page
I booted it in the downloading mode and now I dont know if I can turn it off again to get back to TWRP mode
I tried to install several roms before with twrp, some would say success, but do nothing, others wound simply fail.
Im in downloading mode, but it wont connect to my computer. I figured I could just get it back on Odin and start over and do a clean install.
My computer sees a device, but even after installing several versions of the samsung drivers it wont find it.
Kies wont find it either.
I dont know what else to do. Ive been messing with this for 12 hours now. All my stuff was backed up so I dont mind clearing the phone completely out, but idk where to go from here. Any help would really be appreciated.
Im new to smart phones so if you could dumb down your responses I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

When you plug up the phone to the pc. It's not going to do anything, but it will find it and load the stock firmware on there...

Good luck buddy...
Hopefully that resolves your issue

Kies wont see it.
Ive tired over 20 times.
I even tried the firmware upgrade and install by manually putting in my phone info, but it still doesnt see it.
I rebooted and can still get into either this mode or the TWRP mode.
Any more ideas? I really appreciate the help I cant afford another phone and this one was a gift :/
Flash stock with Odin maybe?

Odin wont see it. Id like to flash it stock just to get it running again.
Ive reinstalled the drivers, as well as older versions I found online and none of them are working.
Windows xp computer (old and ****ty) doesnt even pop up that I plugged something in.
My pc Win8 Does see it, but doesnt recognize it. Reinstalling drivers doesnt help.
Odin wont see it.
I can get back to the TWRP mode, so I thought putting a rom on my micro would work, but I havent found a rom that wanted to work yet.
Anyone have one that is known to work with Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317?
Could I use keys to download the orig. rom and then use TWRP to install the rom?
I installed:
senselesskingdom 1.2.3 TWRP. zip
using TWRP
It says "success"
But just boots back into TWRP
You are not using a version for the note 2. The version is 2.6.something.
